"INBOX can't be deleted" error when syncing from imapc
by Andy Balholm 28 Nov '24

28 Nov '24

I'm syncing mail from an IMAP server to local Maildirs with `doveadm backup -R`, and I sometimes get an error the second time I sync an account: > Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted. I've figured out that the sync completes the first time without an error, but the UIDVALIDITY of the INBOX Maildir doesn't match the UIDVALIDITY on the IMAP server. Then the second time doveadm detects the mismatch and wants to delete the INBOX, but it can't because Maildir INBOXes can't be deleted. So I think the root cause is that the INBOX is being created with the wrong UIDVALIDITY in the first place. It only seems to happen when there are no messages in the INBOX on the server at the time the Maildir is created, but it doesn't seem to happen all the time. Is there anything I can do to make the sync job run smoothly? Andy

Director to keep redirecting users to the same server even it is down
by abdelhaq.jalboush＠gmail.com 28 Nov '24

28 Nov '24

Hello, why the director always proxying IMAP connections to the same backend even if it is down? Also the director is showing the node as up although I have stopped the dovecot service on it: doveadm director status mail server ip tag vhosts state state changed users Node1 100 up - 2 Node2 100 up - 3 on the director here is: doveconf -n # 2.3.21 (47349e2482): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.21 (f6cd4b8e) # OS: Linux 6.8.0-1018-aws x86_64 Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS # Hostname: auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_socket_path = director-userdb auth_verbose = yes director_mail_servers = Node1 Node2 director_servers = dir1 dir2 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log listen = * lmtp_proxy = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_gid = vmail mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = vmail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-openldap-proxy.conf.ext default_fields = proxy=y driver = ldap } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp service auth { inet_listener { port = 12345 } } service director { fifo_listener login/proxy-notify { mode = 0600 user = $default_login_user } inet_listener { port = 9090 } unix_listener director-admin { mode = 0600 } unix_listener director-userdb { mode = 0600 } unix_listener login/director { mode = 0666 } } service imap-login { executable = imap-login director inet_listener imap { port = 0 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service ipc { unix_listener ipc { user = dovecot } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } } service pop3-login { executable = pop3-login director inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service submission-login { inet_listener submission { port = 587 } } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/ssl/fullchain.pem ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it protocol lmtp { auth_socket_path = director-userdb }

bug? dsync extremely much slower on forward than reverse direction
by Bjørnar Ness 27 Nov '24

27 Nov '24

I have been experimenting with dsync lately, and to my surprise I found that dsync in forward direction is extremely slow compared for reverse (-R) direction for the exact same data, disk caches flushed both times. I have created a docker-compose setup to prove my findings. Am I missing something here, or is this a bug? link to tests: https://github.com/bjne/dovecot-dsync-benchmark -- Bj(/)rnar

Extended LIST not working
by tim＠linux-daus.de 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

Hi, i try to use extended LIST command but it doesn't work out. I wonder if there is any option necessary to enable it or some option that prevent using extended LIST commands (for example Courier compatible namespace config). I didn't find anything in the documentation. Did anyone notice a similar behavior? curl -u $IMAPUSER:$IMAPPW imaps://... -X 'STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES UNSEEN)' * STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES 105 UNSEEN 79) curl -u $IMAPUSER:$IMAPPW imaps://... -X 'LIST "" "INBOX" RETURN (STATUS (MESSAGES UNSEEN))' * LIST () "."

sharing sso between regular mail client and web applications
by Marc 20 Nov '24

20 Nov '24

I am testing a bit with sso with keycloak, I was wondering if/how it is possible that your logged in session between eg Thunderbird and dovecot can be used as a single sign on in webapplications. So as long as you have an active session with dovecot you can access all your web applications without the need to login.

Fatal: sql proxy::sqlite-proxy: Can't open configuration file

Hi, I'm running into a problem where I'm not sure anymore if it's possible to proxy to an SQLite database file using a dict for authentication.

Does anyone have a current config example using openid and with roundcube. I like to add this next to 'regular' logins'. I was able to login once but know I am getting these in the logs " No requests to service for this peer (1 connections exist, 0 pending)" I have added the 2 passdb with links to dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext from this manual[1], but it is not really clear if I need these and can just add a config file with openid_configuration_url [1] https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/authentication/oauth2/

Locking box for backups
by Steve Atkins 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

I’m running 2.3.19.1 on a system that isn’t set up to support filesystem snapshots. So I’d like to back up my mdbox mailboxes at a filesystem level (with rsync, or something equivalent). I’m assuming that to get a consistent backup I should lock the mailbox while I copy it. How should I acquire a (write) lock on an mdbox mailbox? Cheers, Steve

replication and backup
by Philippe 12 Nov '24

12 Nov '24

Hi all & thanks Aki for adding me to the list. First of all, I'm not a dovecot user yet. For several years now I use cyrus imapd and never saw the urge to switch, until I recently lost random mails from my mailbox which were neither temporally connected nor related in some other way. Fortunately, I had a rolling replication which never expunges, so I was able to restore them. While circumventing some pitfalls during the restore, I learned that the backup and restore procedure cyrus imapd offers is deprecated and will be removed. Now I ponder whether or not I should switch the mda. Does dovecot offer the following? - setting up a rolling replication which replicates every action made to the mailbox (flags, mark as deleted, relocations, etc.) to a different server (one way only) - NOT expunging the emails that have been marked as deleted on the slave server or expunging only manually - restoring selected emails from the slave directly to the master The slave server doesn't need to be accessible via imap, I'd be happy to search for some header data (subject, recipient, sender, date, ...) and restore the email by command line using its uuid or message-id or something like that. Browsing the documentation I found "doveadm-backup" which is using "dsync", but I'm not sure whether or not it fits my requirements. I'd love to hear your opinions. Kind regards, Philippe

Proper configuration of fts-xapian for dovecot
by Torge Riedel 10 Nov '24

10 Nov '24

Dears, I recently installed the package dovecot-fts-xapian on my Ubuntu 22.04 VM, where dovecot 2.3.16 is installed. I enabled the plugins mail_plugins = $mail_plugins fts fts_xapian plugin { ### # fts fts = xapian fts_xapian = partial=3 full=20 fts_autoindex = yes fts_enforced = yes #fts_autoindex_exclude = \Trash # Index attachements fts_decoder = decode2text } I skip to show the "service indexer-worker" and "decode2text" for the moment. After restarting dovecot I ran doveadm index -A \* which ran without any issues. But for the moment I am faced with two issues I am unable to solve on my own and also didn't found a solution on the internet: 1. The indexer created a new directory "xapian-indexes" in the user's mail folder (where also "INBOX", "Drafts", "Sent", ... exists), with the result that you can see this folder in Thunderbird and GMail Android App. How to hide / disable the folder to mail programs, IMHO no mail program should have access to it. 2. When listing the capabilities of my mail server I get "CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SPECIAL-USE LITERAL+ AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN" and it seems to lack the FTS capability(s). Am I right? And should dovecot set the capabality on its own or is something missing in the config? If you need more info, just let me know please. Thanks and kind regards Torge

What is the appropriate action for out of memory error for exceeding vsz_limit in my situation?
by Steve Dondley 08 Nov '24

08 Nov '24

Hi, I have sporadic messages on my server about an account getting an out of memory error: Fatal: master: service(imap): child 17910 returned error 83 (Out of memory (service imap { vsz_limit=325 MB }, you may need to increase it) - set CORE_OUTOFMEM=1 environment to get core dump) In response, I raised the limit from 256MB up to 325. That didn’t seem to help. The server has only 512 MB of RAM so I’m afraid to go much higher. I googled around a bit and some people are saying that when the dovecot.index.cache grows too large, it can cause these errors. The imap account has a dovecot.index.cache file that is 167 MB which seems to be well below the limit (but maybe it is compressed?). So I’m not entirely sure as to what the underlying problem is. So before upgrading to the server to 1024 MB of ram and going on a wild goose chase, I just want to get input on whether I have positively identified the problem and whether there might be something else I can do to manage this problem.

Expunging and deleting old messages - moving from cyrus-imap
by Nick Howitt 07 Nov '24

07 Nov '24

I have just moved from cyrus-imap to dovecot. In cyrus I had an automatic purge of messages marked as deleted with a cron job: /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyr_expire -E 1 -X 7 -D 7 -E = Expire Days -X = Expunge days What is the equivalent in doveadm? doveadm expunge -A DELETED BEFORE 1w Is there any equivalent to expire messages marked as deleted? I can't remember why I have it as I set up Cyrus so long ago. I also delete from deleted (INBOX.trash) anything older than a year. In Cyrus, it is run from an event in the configuration: trashPurge cmd="ipurge -s -X -f -d 365 user/*/Trash" at=0104 I would be happy to run it from cron, so does this work: doveadm expunge -A mailbox INBOX.trash SENTBEFORE 52w Except I get: doveadm(nobody): Error: mkdir(/nonexistent/.Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=65534(nobody) egid=65534(nogroup)) I can run it for the individual users but not -A.

I can't > remember why I have it as I set up Cyrus so long ago. If by expire, you mean expunge, this is more or less what I used in a nightly cron script doveadm expunge -A $ mailbox 'Deleted Items' OR mailbox 'Deleted Messages*' OR mailbox Junk OR mailbox Trash OR \( mailbox INBOX Deleted $ \) BEFORE 7d In English, for all users, delete any messages in commonly named trash folders or any messages in INBOX marked as deleted that are older than a week. I recall one quirk: if the mailbox didn't have a cached entry for the message's age, the filter criteria would miss this and it would remain in the mailbox. I'm not sure if this still happens, but I got around this by seeding the cache by doing a doveadm search for that metadata (date.received?). Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Dovecot advertises QUOTA as an CAPABILITY only after login. GPT believes this is why Tbird doesn't show the quota on the status bar, because it's looking for the quota before login and not after. Does anyone know if its possible to get dovecot to advertise QUOTA before login?

IMAP quota reporting free disk space
by piotr＠connecta.pl 06 Nov '24

06 Nov '24

Hi, Is it possible to make IMAP quota commands report free filesystem space? I don't want to set quota limits to individual users, but it would be nice to have an information on the bottom of Thunderbird window about free disk space (it could be percentage of the total disk size). Anyway I have trouble with quota reporting itself, because I tried to setup a regular quota (100G) first, but somehow Thunderbird doesn't report free quota as it does in case of Gmail accounts. I added to 20-imap.conf: protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota imap_quota } and to 90-quota.conf: plugin { quota = maildir quota_rule = *:storage=100G } What else should I add to enable reporting? (without warning emails, commands changing quota and all that stuff) P.

Upgrade Dovecot Cluster 2.2 to 2.3
by Steven Varco 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Hi All I’m planing to upgrade/migrate my dovecot cluster with two dovecot 2.2.36 nodes to 2.3.16. They use Maildir als IMAP backend and will continue to use that in the future. Can I just: - Install a new Server (AlmaLinux 9) - Stop dovecot on the old node-2 - Copy all the data from the old mail directory of node-2 to the new one - Install dovecot 2.3 on the new on with more or less the same config and let it run - Repeat the same with old node-1 ? Or would it be better to start of with an empty mail directory and let the other old node imapsync the data to the new one? - What would the advantage be (over the disadvantage that it may take some time to get everything synced)? I know that Maildir are just static files, so moving them to the new server should not be a problem. I’m thinking more about indexes created by dovecot 2.2.36… Are they read without issues with the newever dovecot 2.3.16 or should I consider a re-index. or something the like? thanks in advance, Steven -- https://steven.varco.ch/ https://www.tech-island.com/

IRC channel link on the website
by Sebastian Crane 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Dear all, On the Dovecot website, I noticed that the IRC link isn't clickable: https://www.dovecot.org/support/ The Markdown-esque square brackets suggest to me that this should be a hyperlink, but it's just plain text at the moment. The other issue is that there is no hash symbol before the channel name, so even if it were clickable the user's IRC client would start a private message rather than join the channel. Best wishes, Sebastian

dovecot-lda from www-data - doesnt work
by Sebastian Nielsen 01 Nov '24

01 Nov '24

m trying to deliver email from a webform, but its not working. I then tried manually in the console: WORKS: sudo -u info /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d info DOES NOT WORK: sudo -u www-data /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d info sudo -u postfix /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d info sudo -u dovecot /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d info I need to be able to deliver email from "www-data" to any user on the system (that is a valid dovecot-lda mail user). It seems a security setting blocks it. I have already set authdb to 0777 in dovecot settings (because otherwise it gives an error about lookup rights), and also enabled stats-writer and stats-reader with 0666. so no more error messages in log, but the above commands that does NOT work, terminate immediately, while the working command waits for email from STDIN. No error messages in either log or on STDOUT/STDERR. What can be the problem?

Namespace configuration
by Scott Q. 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

We are having an issue with our namespace configuration, as per the eM Client folks. We present the following namespaces via IMAP, with Dovecot as backend. This is the actual imap conversation 08:37:10.896|03E| 01: A4 ID ("name" "eM Client" "version" "10.1.4393.0" "GUID" "EMCLIENT_V1" "vendor" "eM Client" "contact" "support(a)emclient.com") 08:37:10.961|03E| 01: * ID ("name" "Dovecot") 08:37:10.961|03E| 01: A4 OK ID completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). 08:37:10.961|03E| 01: A5 NAMESPACE 08:37:11.184|03E| 01: * NAMESPACE (("" ".")("Labels." ".")) (("shared." ".")) NIL 08:37:11.184|03E| 01: A5 OK Namespace completed (0.001 + 0.162 + 0.161 secs). As per them, the problem is the first empty prefix: "The problem is not necessarily in the fact that it is empty but because it is then mixed with another one with a prefix. Logically it means that everything in the empty namespace must be mixed together with the prefixed namespace and that is not really ok." "NAMESPACE (("personal." ".")("Labels." ".")) (("shared." ".")) NIL would make sense as both personal namespaces point to different directory structures." Reading the RFC I'm not understanding this at all, but then again, maybe I'm wrong. Anyone care to shed some light on how multiple namespaces should be defined ? Thank you, Scott

Inboxes incorrectly become /var/mail/%u
by ma.sao＠msa.hinet.net 29 Oct '24

29 Oct '24

With configuration "mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir", incoming mails are always saved to /var/mail/%u , which are invisible to Thunderbird. How do I configure Dovecot to save incoming mails to ~/Maildir/cur/ and ~/Maildir/new/ ? Thank you in advance! context: I replaced my host recently. Version 2.3.13 running in the old host used to correctly save incoming mails to ~/Maildir. I copied the files in /home/user1/Maildir/ Dovecot 2.3.13 managed to my new host where the new Dovecot 2.3.19.1 runs. Thunderbird now correctly displays files in /home/user1/Maildir/cur/ in the new server as inbox mails, but obviously it can not see file /var/mail/user1 in the new server. ===== Output of "dovecot -n" follows. # 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.19 (4eae2f79) # OS: Linux 6.1.0-22-amd64 x86_64 Debian 12.7 # Hostname: example auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } protocols = " imap" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } ======== Output of "ls -la /home/user1/Maildir/" in my new host follows. total 112 drwx------ 9 user1 user1 4096 Oct 26 23:39 . drwxr-xr-x 4 user1 user1 4096 Oct 26 23:39 .. drwx------ 5 user1 user1 4096 Oct 26 22:18 .Drafts drwx------ 5 user1 user1 4096 Oct 29 00:11 .Sent drwx------ 5 user1 user1 4096 Oct 26 23:39 .Templates drwx------ 5 user1 user1 4096 Oct 29 00:12 .Trash drwx------ 2 user1 user1 4096 Oct 26 21:14 cur -rw------- 1 user1 user1 609 Oct 26 20:15 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 user1 user1 8 Nov 13 2023 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 user1 user1 0 Oct 15 2022 dovecot-uidvalidity.634a88ee -rw------- 1 user1 user1 600 Oct 18 16:39 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 user1 user1 13296 Oct 26 21:23 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 user1 user1 26084 Oct 26 21:14 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 user1 user1 744 Oct 22 18:32 dovecot.list.index -rw------- 1 user1 user1 7232 Oct 29 00:12 dovecot.list.index.log -rw------- 1 user1 user1 96 Nov 13 2023 dovecot.mailbox.log drwx------ 2 user1 user1 4096 Oct 26 20:15 new -rw------- 1 user1 user1 33 Nov 13 2023 subscriptions drwx------ 2 user1 user1 4096 Oct 25 21:32 tmp ==== Output of "ls -l /var/mail" follows. total 288 -rw------- 1 user1 mail 35086 Oct 29 18:02 user1 -rw------- 1 daemon mail 36244 Oct 28 12:32 daemon -rw------- 1 debian mail 36223 Oct 26 21:32 debian -rw------- 1 dovecot mail 36248 Oct 28 19:18 dovecot -rw------- 1 games mail 36223 Oct 27 12:38 games -rw------- 1 news mail 36237 Oct 27 13:52 news -rw------- 1 nobody mail 36266 Oct 27 15:31 nobody -rw------- 1 sshd mail 36195 Oct 29 12:36 sshd

Aggregating auth/proxy events
by matus.vlcek＠gmail.com 28 Oct '24

28 Oct '24

Hi, I'm working on aggregating event logs and trying to correlate all related events using session IDs. However, I’m struggling with some events as they're missing the session ID. 1. proxy_session_* events lack a session ID field, making it difficult to pair them with auth_request_* events. 2. when using dovecot as sasl for postfix with a unix listener, both auth_request_* and auth_passdb_request_* events are missing the session ID too. Example of the fields object for auth_request_finished when using smtp. It's missing multiple common fields, but session ID is, imho, the most important one. https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/admin_manual/list_of_events/#id1 ``` categories: [ "auth", "service:auth" ] "fields": { "translated_user": "alex", "mechanism": "LOGIN", "real_remote_ip": "X.X.X.X", "user": "alex", "transport": "insecure", "local_ip": "X.X.X.X", "remote_ip": "X.X.X.X", "real_local_ip": "X.X.X.X", "policy_result": "ok", "service": "smtp", "duration": 96764, "original_user": "alex" }, ``` Would it be possible to add session ID fields to these logs? Alternatively, is there another method to correlate all the session related logs? Thanks, Matus Dovecot v. 2.3.21

LMTP rejecting aliased emails
by Nick Howitt 27 Oct '24

27 Oct '24

Hi, I am pretty new to Dovecot and totally new to LMTP. I have normal delivery working but I am struggling with aliases. In my mail queue I am seeing things like: -Queue ID- --Size-- ----Arrival Time---- -Sender/Recipient------- E0F617055DB 720 Sat Oct 26 14:50:24 clamav(a)mydomain.com (host mail.mydomain.com[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.3.0 <clamav(a)mydomain.com> Temporary internal error (in reply to end of DATA command)) clamav(a)mydomain.com But in my /etc/aliases, I am aliasing clamav to nick and nick(a)mydomain.com is a valid mail box that can receive normal mail. The corresponding line in the mail log is: 2024-10-26T14:55:56.385500+01:00 mail-www dovecot: lmtp(1371485): Error: lmtp-server: conn unix:pid=1371484,uid=102 [1]: rcpt clamav(a)mydomain.com: Failed to initialize user: Mail access for users with UID 107 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup). How do I get round this issue? I can drop the minimum UID to 0, but then all system users are deemed valid for mail which is not true. None of them are. Thanks, Nick

sieve crashes when two optional include scripts are missing
by Michal Hlavinka 27 Oct '24

27 Oct '24

Hi, we've found an issue with sieve plugin. When script includes two missing optional scripts, it causes crash. For reproducing the issue, script names must belong to same hash table node, so either two scripts with same name or scripts where 'hash(name) % table->size' results in same value, like missing_a and missing_aa in reproducer below. Reduced reproducer: cat >dovecot.min.conf <<EOF mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir plugin { sieve = file:/tmp;active=/tmp/dovecot.sieve } EOF cat >reproducer.sieve <<EOF require "include"; include :personal :optional "missing_a"; include :personal :optional "missing_aa"; EOF echo -n > empty sieve-test -c dovecot.min.conf reproducer.sieve empty any test mail would do, but empty file is enough for reproducer # return sblock->id causes the crash as sblock is NULL backtrace: (gdb) bt #0 sieve_binary_block_get_id (sblock=0x0) at src/lib-sieve/sieve-binary.c:421 #1 ext_include_execute_include (renv=0x5555555bbed8, include_id=1, flags=EXT_INCLUDE_FLAG_OPTIONAL) at plugins/include/ext-include-common.c:696 #2 opc_include_execute (renv=0x5555555bbed8, address=0x5555555bbf10) at plugins/include/cmd-include.c:399 #3 sieve_interpreter_operation_execute (interp=0x5555555bbe88) at src/lib-sieve/sieve-interpreter.c:901 #4 sieve_interpreter_continue (interp=0x5555555bbe88, interrupted=0x0) at src/lib-sieve/sieve-interpreter.c:959 #5 sieve_interpreter_start (interp=0x5555555bbe88, result=0x5555555b9230, interrupted=0x0) at src/lib-sieve/sieve-interpreter.c:1049 #6 sieve_interpreter_run (interp=0x5555555bbe88, result=0x5555555b9230) at src/lib-sieve/sieve-interpreter.c:1057 #7 sieve_run (sbin=0x55555558ee18, result=0x5555555b9230, eenv=0x7fffffffe890, ehandler=0x55555558c338) at src/lib-sieve/sieve.c:357 #8 sieve_test (sbin=0x55555558ee18, msgdata=0x7fffffffe9f0, senv=0x7fffffffea30, ehandler=0x55555558c338, stream=0x5555555b2cd0, flags=SIEVE_EXECUTE_FLAG_LOG_RESULT) at src/lib-sieve/sieve.c:598 #9 main (argc=5, argv=0x555555567a10) at src/sieve-tools/sieve-test.c:391 issue seems to be caused by lib-sieve/plugins/include/ext-include-common.c: ext_include_generate_include on first pass (script) the check for script already compiled into binary at 529: included = ext_include_binary_script_get_include_info(binctx, script); returns NULL, so code goes through 'else' block where it hits sieve_script_is_open(script) check. It includes script with NULL block, returns 0 so caller cmd_include_generate does not emit anything. On second pass the above 'included' check returns first missing script, it goes through true block where it just checks flags and returns non-zero, so caller this time goes through the emit code block and the previously included NULL sblock gets referenced causing crash later. Note: despite scripts have different name, they pass the "same script" check because sieve_file_script_equals compares 0==0 dev & inode numbers as scripts do not exist. This is why scripts do not have to have same names. Side effect of this is that as missing_a and missing_aa are treated like the same script, only first one is linked in compiled svbin. Which means that if missing_aa reappears later, svbin won't get recompiled. Another manifestation of the issue is when included missing_a script is present when main script is compiled and later missina_a is removed again. During execution, script is not recompiled and it aborts for hash table dupe check: sieve_binary_open->ext_include_binary_script_include->hash_table_insert There are several ways how to solve this. I've tried a few, but there were other corner cases that appeared. One tried way was for example ext_include_generate_include in the 'if (included)' replicate the check sieve_script_is_open(...) from else block, just check flags, no include and set result to 0. Another way to solve this is to return from ext_include_execute_include early if sblock is NULL just before it tries to derefernce it, similarly as it does if it fails 'once' check. Same for dumping in opc_include_dump. Whilst the first approach seems a bit better, it won't stop crashing in existing environments as it won't trigger svbin recompilation and svbin would fail. This means that the second soultion is sort of needed anyway. This still won't solve the problem with different missing scripts as only first one would be able to trigger recompilation when file becomes available. Just including both in the mentioned function won't work either as they would still be evaluated as same and hash table anti-dupe check would trigger abort. So some changes in script comparison seem needed anyway. This is what I've used in my approach. Return early from ext_include_execute_include and opc_include_dump if sblock is NULL and change sieve_file_script_equals to compare also script->location for missing scripts (when inode is 0). Let me know if you need more information. Cheers, Michal Hlavinka

Ignore specific subfolders within Maildir?
by Ralph Seichter 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

Consider Dovecot with "mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir". Is it possible to configure Dovecot to completely ignore directories like ~/.maildir/.foo ? The subdirectory .foo is created by third party software and the name cannot be changed. Because of the leading dot, Dovecot interprets ~/.maildir/.foo as IMAP folder /foo by default, creates the typical subdirectory structure with cur/new/tmp, and exposes ~/.maildir/.foo to IMAP clients. Not being able to change the name or location of .foo, I would like to tell Dovecot to ignore .foo's presence altogether. So far I have not found documentation about how that can be done (or if it can). Helpful pointers are appreciated. -Ralph

"client_id" in lua script
by ecdlguy＠gmail.com 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

Hi, I'm trying to block specific MUAs, like e.g. Outlook-App for iOS and Android or Xiaomi Mail / MiMail using a lua script. While implementing this, I noticed that "client_id" is always nil in the lua script or I am doing something wrong. This is part of the postfix config: imap_id_retain = yes imap_id_log = * passdb { driver = lua args = file=/etc/dovecot/lua/badimapid.lua blocking=yes } Logging (imap_id_log = *) works, the dovecot log has entries like: imap(user@domain)<226><pWFZx9siRt+CUwMp>: ID sent: name=Thunderbird, version=115.15.0 Here is the content of the lua-script file: function auth_passdb_lookup(req) req.log_info('badimapid info: user="'..req.user..'", client_id="'..req.client_id..'"') return dovecot.auth.PASSDB_RESULT_NEXT, "" end function script_init() return 0 end function script_deinit() end In principle, "req.client_id" should contain the client id string according to https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/authentication/lua_based_a… However, dovecot log reads: auth-worker(163): Error: conn unix:auth-worker (pid=162,uid=401): auth-worker<27>: lua(user@domain): db-lua: lua_pcall(auth_passdb_lookup, 1, 2) failed: /etc/dovecot/lua/badimapid.lua:2: attempt to concatenate a nil value (field 'client_id') Why is client_id nil? Thanks, Thorsten

fixing sieve (?)
by Stefan G. Weichinger 24 Oct '24

24 Oct '24

Yesterday I was told that at a customer the vacation scripts don't work anymore. Looking closer it seems the whole sieve-funtionality is missing (eg. filtering mails into folders). I am in the process of analysing, and don't have a clue yet. Editing scripts via managesieved works (for example from roundcube). The scripts are in the right place, afai understand. I compare this with another setup where things work and don't see the difference. All this worked perfectly until maybe summer. This is Debian 12.7 bookworm, the dovecot repo still points to bullseye. # cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dovecot.list deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/dovecot.gpg] https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/debian/bullseye bullseye main There is rspamd in place with postfix if that is somehow relevant. The installation is on premise and has maybe 60-100 mailboxes in now 2 domains. That was the largest change this year: add a so-called "alias domain" in postfixadmin: mailbox(a)new.domain points to mailbox(a)old.domain I assume the sieve scripts should simply be executed as before. The basics of mailing etc work fine! I'd appreciate any pointers. trying to enable debug logs etc, for example I don't get anything into "sieve_user_log" --- # 2.3.21.1 (d492236fa0): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.21.1 (49005e73) # OS: Linux 6.1.0-26-amd64 x86_64 Debian 12.7 # Hostname: mail2.my.tld auth_cache_size = 4 M default_process_limit = 300 listen = * mail_home = /mnt/mailboxes/%d/%u mail_location = maildir:~ mail_plugins = " notify quota acl" managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext imapflags imapsieve vnd.dovecot.imapsieve namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { location = maildir:/home/vmail/oeffentlich prefix = Oeffentlich/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = public } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-acl:cache_secs=300 acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/global/learn-spam.sieve imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Spam imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/global/learn-ham.sieve imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Spam imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * sieve = /home/vmail/%d/%u/sieve/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/spam-global.sieve sieve_dir = /home/vmail/%d/%u/sieve/scripts/ sieve_extensions = +imapflags sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/bin sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms sieve_trace_dir = /tmp/sieve_trace/ sieve_trace_level = commands sieve_user_log = /home/vmail/%d/%u/sieve/sieve_user.log } protocols = imap sieve lmtp service auth { client_limit = 1200 unix_listener auth-client { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0777 } user = root } service imap-login { process_min_avail = 10 } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = vmail } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ssl = required ssl_ca = </etc/letsencrypt/pfsense/cloud_imap_mail_smtp_LE_cert.ca ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/pfsense/cloud_imap_mail_smtp_LE_cert.fullchain ssl_cipher_list = ALL:HIGH:!SSLv2:!MEDIUM:!LOW:!EXP:!RC4:!MD5:!aNULL:@STRENGTH ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key_password = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol lmtp { mail_debug = yes mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = logs(a)my.tld } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 20 mail_plugins = " notify quota acl imap_sieve imap_acl" } protocol sieve { managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave imapflags }

Issue with logrotate and dovecot
by jim＠themailshack.com 24 Oct '24

24 Oct '24

Something new here has cropped up, no changes to configs for some time. I've had my dovecot using the default /var/log/dovecot.log location for logging, logrotate used to back this up weekly and logging would continue using this same file. Now when logrotate runs, it correctly backs up the log but then creates a new dovecot.log-yyyymmdd file and dovecot starts logging to that. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. My postfix and other processes are still using their correct log files, so it seems related only to dovecot. From dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf: # Log file to use for error messages. "syslog" logs to syslog, # /dev/stderr logs to stderr. #log_path = syslog log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log From /etc/logrotate.d/dovecot /var/log/dovecot.log { weekly rotate 4 missingok notifempty compress delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate doveadm log reopen endscript } Looks like something happened mid last month but other than periodic software updates nothing has changed for a while here. If I reboot the system, dovecot resumes logging to /var/log/dovecot.log, but as soon as logrotate runs (I did a --force to test) it logs to the new file again. Hoping this may sound familiar to someone on the list.

Struggling to get sieve running
by nick＠howitts.co.uk 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

Hi, I am new to Dovecot and Debian, but I seem to have got Dovecot up and running with local delivery and then switched to LMTP. I am running Debian 12.7 and Webmin 2.202 to try and get things running, but I've had to tweak files. Also Webmin did not install dovecot-lmtpd, dovecot-sieve or dovecot-managesieved, so I did that manually. I have tried following the configuration guide from Dovecot (but there seems to be little there) and other sources I've found on the internet, but there is nothing I have found to get sieve listening on port 4190 when checked with ss. My Dovecot config from `dovecot -n` is: ``` # 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.19 (4eae2f79) # OS: Linux 6.1.0-26-amd64 x86_64 Debian 12.7 # Hostname: my.fqdn auth_username_format = %Ln disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 1000 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve } protocols = imap lmtp service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/fullchain.pem ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" postmaster_address = nick(a)mydomain.com } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" } ``` Dovecot packages installed from the Debian repos are: ``` dovecot-core/stable,stable-security,now 1:2.3.19.1+dfsg1-2.1+deb12u1 amd64 [installed] dovecot-imapd/stable,stable-security,now 1:2.3.19.1+dfsg1-2.1+deb12u1 amd64 [installed] dovecot-lmtpd/stable,stable-security,now 1:2.3.19.1+dfsg1-2.1+deb12u1 amd64 [installed] dovecot-managesieved/stable,stable-security,now 1:2.3.19.1+dfsg1-2.1+deb12u1 amd64 [installed] dovecot-pop3d/stable,stable-security,now 1:2.3.19.1+dfsg1-2.1+deb12u1 amd64 [installed] dovecot-sieve/stable,stable-security,now 1:2.3.19.1+dfsg1-2.1+deb12u1 amd64 [installed] ``` Ultimately I intend to run manage sieve from Roundcube which I have already got running, or I may try a Thunderbird addon. Can anyone give me some pointers, please?

Missing IMAP folders after upgrading from 2.3.17 to 2.3.21.1
by Frank Kirschner 23 Oct '24

23 Oct '24

Hi, I have upgraded from 2.3.17 to 2.3.21.1. mail_location = maildir Now in some mailboxes are IMAP folder in subdir of INBOX missing. When I do a 'ls -la' in filesystem, I see the subfolder like other folder with identical owner an permissions. But when I do doveadm mailbox list -u [user] the IMAP folder is not displayed. So I have deleted all files in /opt/dovecot/[hash]/[user] because I use INDEX=/opt/dovecot/%2.256Nu/%u:ITERINDEX The restart dovecot and re-login the Imap client. All IMAP folders are rebuilt but the same folders like before are still missing.

Uppercase username emails are rejected
by lua8ds＠proton.me 20 Oct '24

20 Oct '24

When a sender writes my email address with my username uppercase, e.g. USERNAME(a)name.com, in the to: field of their MUA, my mail server rejects that email. /var/log/mail.log prints: <USERNAME(a)redacted.com>: host mail.redacted.com[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 > <USERNAME(a)redacted.com> User doesn't exist: USERNAME(a)redacted.com (in reply to RCPT TO > command) In the manual, I found that: auth_username_format Default: %Lu Formatting applied to username before querying the auth database. You can use the standard variables here. Examples: %Lu Lowercases the username [...] My current setting was not the default; I had: auth_username_format = %n So I updated that setting to: auth_username_format = %Lu expecting that %Lu would lowercase the username - and that my problem would be fixed. It does not though. Updating this setting not only prompts my email server to still reject USERNAME(a)redacted.com, but now also rejects (lowercase username) username(a)redacted.com (which my server had no issue receiving beforehand). So I reverted auth_username_format to: auth_username_format = %n Emails sent to username(a)redacted.com land in my mailbox again - but emails sent to USERNAME(a)redacted.com still don't. What can I try to troubleshoot? Which config file shall I share with you?

Piegeonhole and PATH variable
by Julien Salort 18 Oct '24

18 Oct '24

Hello, I have a dovecot-sieve rule that has been working fine for years which calls sa-learn whenever a message is moved from or to the Junk folder. Recently, but I don't know when it started exactly, this no longer works. I get the following error message in mail.log: dovecot: imap: Error: Use of uninitialized value $ENV{"PATH"} in split at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base/File/Spec/Unix.pm line 136. Error: program exec:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/sa-learn-spam.sh (2526990): Forcibly terminated with signal 15 Error: sieve: failed to pipe message to program `sa-learn-spam.sh': refer to server log for more information. [2024-10-16 10:16:51] Error: sieve: Execution of script /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/report-spam.sieve failed The content of report-spam.sieve is require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve", "environment", "variables"]; if environment :matches "imap.user" "*" { set "username" "${1}"; } pipe :copy "sa-learn-spam.sh" [ "${username}" ]; So my guess is that one of the require on the first line triggers this Unix.pm, and it fails because somehow the PATH variable is not set in this context. However, I am at a complete loss to determine how to change the environment variable in the context of dovecot-sieve. And also, I am not sure why this would be required. Does somebody know how to fix this problem, or alternatively point me to the relevant part in the documentation? Thanks, Julien

How to deactivate "!include conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext" without touching "/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf"?
by postfix_dovecot＠gmx.de 14 Oct '24

14 Oct '24

Hello, I want to deactivate the auth-system.conf.ext because it slows down the system and makes no sense because I utilize passwdfile.conf.ext. I have put all my configurations into the local.conf file, and all the original configuration files remain untouched. I want to stay on this path because that way I know where I made changes, and updates won't cause me any hassle. But how can I deactivate an option that was activated in the original configuration files?" Jens

last_login plugin does not update IP
by Maciej Polewczyński 11 Oct '24

11 Oct '24

When using the last_login plugin I noticed that the IP address information is not updated. If there is no entry in the sql database for a given user, the first time the login date and time information and the IP address will be saved. Each subsequent login only updates the date and time. The IP address remains unchanged. Example configuration for pop3 service: map { pattern = shared/last-login/pop3/$user/$rip table = last_login value_field = last_pop3_access value_type = uint fields { userid = $user last_pop3_ip = $rip } } This is translated into the following sql command: INSERT INTO last_login (last_pop3_access,userid,last_pop3_ip) VALUES (1727691183673,'test','1.2.3.4') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE last_pop3_access=1727691183673 You can see that after "ON DUPLICATE KEY" only the time is updated. Is there any way to influence the behavior of the plugin and the sql query so that the IP address is also updated? I'm using Dovecot v2.3.4 -- Best regards, Maciej Polewczyński Do or do not. There is no try.

Bug Report: Missing parent folders will cause some clients to not retrieve messages
by Brendon Meyer 09 Oct '24

09 Oct '24

Morning/Evening All, This is a general bug report but it applies to most versions of Dovecot that I have tested to date. I tried to find a previous case where something like this has been reported and for the life of me, I can't find one so if I am duplicating an existing bug report - please let me know. The server platform I am using is FreeBSD 14.1-STABLE (custom build) but that really doesn't have much of a bearing as I was able to recreate the problem on Linux as well as different FreeBSD versions and on different architectures going back as FreeBSD 12 under SPARC). Dovecot version is dovecot-2.3.21_6, but I have tried earlier versions as well and the behaviour is pretty consistent. Apple mail versions are multiple, but in the example I put forward below, I am specifically talking about v12.4 which came with OSX 10.14.6 (last release of Mojave). You get the same behaviour out of later versions of Apple mail that come with later relesaes of OSX/MacOS Thunderbird versions are multiple, but in the example I put forward I am using 115.15.0 (64-bit) under Linux. The behaviour is consistent with earlier versions as well as different platforms (such as Thunderbird on OSX, and Windows). Description of problem: When creating subfolders with tools such as imapfilter, if the parent of the subfolder does not exist, Dovecot will allow that folder to be created, and the tool will allow you to populate that folder with messages. The issue then rears it ugly head when you say use Thunderbird and the messages in this subfolder are not visible. This behaviour is not limited to Thunderbird (e.g. Outlook) but I am using Thunderbird as an example here. Oddly enough, the Apple mail client is *not* impacted in quite the same way (though it is impacted but the behaviour is very subtly different). Allow me to explain with a practical example as to what is happening, and I will parts of my *actual* config here to highlight the issue. I have a imapfilter task that routinely archives messages from the likes of "Sent". Easy enough. It takes each message and drops it in an Archives/sent-mail folder with the year as a parent and then inside that is the subfolders of YYYY-MM with the individual months. So looking at it, it looks something like this: Archives/sent-mail/YYYY/YYYY-MM The generated imapfilter rule that is used looks something like this: sent_202312_bgm = bgm['Sent']:sent_since('01-Dec-2023') * bgm['Sent']:sent_before('01-Jan-2024') sent_202312_bgm:move_messages(bgm['Archives/sent-mail/2023/2023-12']) This is all pretty simple - if the folder "Archives/sent-mail/2023/2023-12" does not exist it will create it and when done, it will then populate the folder with messages from "Sent". The issue is that if the "2023" parent folder does not exist, then some mail clients (as identified above - Thunderbird is an example) will never sync that mail. The workaround is to manually create the YYYY parent folders so that when imapfilter runs and creates the YYYY-MM subfolders then they are visible. I said that Apple mail is a weird edge case example. Its behaviour is not exactly simple or consistent either when missing parent folders, but you at least get some visual idea that something is wrong. Screenshots are probably doing going to come across very well in a forum group but allow me to describe what you see in Apple mail. In Apple mail, if the parent folder exists (for example say I use the year 2019), then see the subfolder in a "grey" colour with the name next to it and all is good. This folder *is* visible to Thunderbird and all the Apple mail functionality works. If the parent folder does *NOT* exist, this is where it gets a little weird. In my example, I have a year of 2023. That parent folder does *NOT* exist. That means that if you look at the Thunderbird view of the Archives/send-mail, you don't see a 2023 parent folder. Apple Mail *DOES* see the parent *BUT* two things are a bit off about it. #1. When you look at the folder in Apple mail, instead of being grey, it appears as a white colour. You can drill into the folder and see the YYYY-MM subfolders inside, but generally it doesn't appear to "work consistently". #2. Searches don't work correctly. Manually renaming the subfolders in Apple mail, then manually creating a parent folder and then moving everything back restores full functionality and also means that other mail clients such as Thunderbird for example will then see all the 2023 subfolders (e.g. 2023-01, 2023-02, etc). So ... is this a bug in Dovecot? If so ... has it been previously reported and if not, do I get a bug named after me? :P /BGM

Namespace for seperate Storage of Archive
by Christian Großegger 05 Oct '24

05 Oct '24

Hi everyone, I found the Solution myself. The key was to simply create an unnamed mailbox directive so that the namespace prefix directly results into an mailbox that Thunderbirds shows as the Archive. Thanks everbody on the dovecot team for making such a brilliant Software! Greetings! Christian namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / } namespace archivns { prefix = Archive/ <--- this is the Name which now appears at the same Level then Sent/Draft/... location = maildir:/mnt/mails2/%u separator = / mailbox { <--- here a name is omitted auto = subscribe special_use = \Archive } }

dovecot/Pigeonhole sieve sets seen flag
by Hadmut Danisch 05 Oct '24

05 Oct '24

Hi, I'm using dovecot, running Ubuntu 24.04 with dovecot 1:2.3.21+dfsg1-2ubuntu6 and postfix. Since Ubuntu dropped mailfilter for 24.04, I am replacing mailfilter with the sieve filter. Problem/Question: I am using something like if header :matches "Subject" "htest" { addflag "$label1"; fileinto :create "Test.${year}.${month}"; stop; } following https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/sieve/examples/ which works, but not as expected: When having the addflag, the mail is delivered as seen, i.e. put in the /cur directory of the Maildir folder. Without the addflag, it is put into /new , where it belongs to (as unseen). Why does addflag "$label1"; mark the Mail as seen? regards Hadmut (please respond directly, I am not on this list)

Helping doveadm sync detect moves between Maildir mailboxes? (reproducible example of bad behaviour)
by falsifian＠falsifian.org 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

Hi, Moving mail files between Maildir mailboxes often confuses doveadm sync: I end up with copies in both the original and new maildir. Exact details and script to reproduce follow. I can work around this by running doveadm move, but it does not fit well with my workflow, which is based on paths to mail files (using mblaze as my mail client). Two questions: 1. Is there anything I can do to help dovecot notice the moves, other than using doveadm move instead of just mv? I have tried liberal use of force-resync but the problem is still there. 2. Is this a bug? Details: OS: OpenBSD current $ dovecot --version 2.3.21.1 (d492236fa0) config: My repro script below uses a one-line config, only setting mail_location. (An OpenBSD 7.5 server running Dovecot 2.3.21 is involved in my real setup, but I was able to reproduce it locally without the server involved.) To reproduce: (shell script follows) - Make two maildirs "a" and "b", each with a subfolder ".Archive". - Manually write a mail file to a/cur. - doveadm sync - force-resync everything - manually move the file to a/.Archive/cur - force-resync everything again - doveadm sync - Now the mail file appears four times: in a, a/.Archive, b, and b/.Archive. Script to do the above follows my signature. -- James #!/bin/sh set -e # Run in a new directory with two maildirs named a and b and a simple config. mkdir bug; cd bug mkdir -p {a,b}/{,.Archive/}{cur,new,tmp} cat > dovecot.conf <<EOF mail_location=maildir:$PWD/a EOF # Deliver an email and sync. EXAMPLE_ID=12345.R67890.example.com cat > a/cur/$EXAMPLE_ID:2, <<EOF some email EOF doveadm -c dovecot.conf sync maildir:b # Move the email and sync again. Run force-resync between steps in case it helps. doveadm -c dovecot.conf force-resync INBOX doveadm -c dovecot.conf force-resync Archive doveadm -c dovecot.conf -o mail_location=maildir:$PWD/b force-resync INBOX doveadm -c dovecot.conf -o mail_location=maildir:$PWD/b force-resync Archive mv a/cur/$EXAMPLE_ID* a/.Archive/cur doveadm -c dovecot.conf force-resync INBOX doveadm -c dovecot.conf force-resync Archive doveadm -c dovecot.conf -o mail_location=maildir:$PWD/b force-resync INBOX doveadm -c dovecot.conf -o mail_location=maildir:$PWD/b force-resync Archive doveadm -c dovecot.conf sync maildir:b echo in a: doveadm -c dovecot.conf -fflow fetch 'mailbox guid' all echo echo in b: doveadm -c dovecot.conf -fflow -o mail_location=maildir:$PWD/b fetch 'mailbox guid' all

Namespace for seperate Storage of Archive
by Christian Großegger 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Hi everyone, I would like to move the "Archives" Folder for every user from my default storage to another storage in the backend, while maintaining the current frontend view of the IMAP Mailboxstructure. Because I didn't manage to get it to work properly on my production server, I made a separate Testserver. My problem is, that I don't know what to put in the "prefix" section of the Namespace, so that the Archive Folder is on the same folder/mailbox hierarchy level as the ones in the default namespace (Sent Messages, Drafts ...). I have read the Namespace RFC (rfc2342) and there is one example which uses the Tilde ~ Character as the Namespace prefix - put the rfc doesn't address the tilde, it only has it in one of the examples (Example 5.4). Because ~ often means 'base folder' I thought this would work. But it doesn't. The Thunderbird client shows: Rootdir/Sent but Rootdir/~/Archive I am aware I can solve this with symlinks, but I would like to do it properly with namespaces. Could you please tell me what I am missing? In case this is an Thunderbird Issue, could you please point out, what I don't understand? Thank you!

Remove hard-coded paths in doc/solr-config-9.xml
by Saman Ghannadzadeh 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Hi, Dovecote includes a config file for use with Solr 9, at 'doc/solr-config-9.xml'. However, this file has two problems: - it hard codes the path to the Solr installation - it hard codes version numbers of Icu/Lucene packages This issue can be be easily fixed by using the '${solr.install.dir}' variable in that config file. The attached patch will fix both issues. Best wishes, Saman Ghannadzaded diff -crB a/doc/solr-config-9.xml b/doc/solr-config-9.xml *** a/doc/solr-config-9.xml 2024-09-29 20:50:42.873229769 +0100 --- b/doc/solr-config-9.xml 2024-09-29 20:58:53.507638810 +0100 *************** *** 75,82 ****   ! <lib dir="/opt/solr/modules/analysis-extras/lib" regex="icu4j-70.1.jar"/> ! <lib dir="/opt/solr/modules/analysis-extras/lib" regex="lucene-analysis-icu-9.8.0.jar"/>   ! <lib dir="${solr.install.dir}/modules/analysis-extras/lib" regex="icu4j-.*\.jar"/> ! <lib dir="${solr.install.dir}/modules/analysis-extras/lib" regex="lucene-analysis-icu-.*\.jar"/> <!-- an exact 'path' can be used instead of a 'dir' to specify a specific jar file.

TLS certificates SQL driver ?
by Andrew Mason 28 Sep '24

28 Sep '24

Hi folks, I was curious if it was possible to configure Dovecot to lookup the TLS certificate it should present in a similar way that the passdb lookups can use a driver. I have a few domains that share the same IP and I'm currently using SNI with both Dovecot and Postfix. I have pretty much all the configuration stored for each domain in a relational database , including the TLS cert that Postfix presents. If I add a new domain, I still have to add an entry to config file for dovecot i.e local_name imap.example.org { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/imap.example.org.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/imap.example.org.key } local_name imap.example2.org { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/imap.example2.org.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/imap.example2.org.key } I was hoping it was possible to use the same records in the database that I currently use for Postfix. Kind regards Andrew

Dovecot undeleteable folder?
by Benoît Panizzon 27 Sep '24

27 Sep '24

Hi Liste We are and ISP and use Dovecot. From time to time, we have customer reporting not being able to delete IMAP folder they have created. This often seems to happen when some email client is creating temporary folder on some move or copy operations. Permissions look right. I can't figure out, what goes wrong, but I can reproduce via telnet by manually issuing IMAP commands. To me it looks like Dovecot forgets about what folders exist. Is there some caching of the folder information? Is there a way to enable some debug logging of folder creation and deletion? Example: Customer has a Folder named: ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX Folder file exists and permissions look right: ./ARCHIV/AdministrationXXX d delete ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX d OK Delete completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). Folder file is still present and can not be deleted again. Re-Connecting with a client lists the folder as present despite having been deleted. It's sort of a Schrödinger Folder. It is there but it's also not there. c create ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX c OK Create completed (0.007 + 0.000 + 0.006 secs). d delete ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX d OK Delete completed (0.006 + 0.000 + 0.005 secs). Now the Folder File is gone, showing the permissions were correct. I can do this corrective action via telnet. But most mail clients will refuse to create a Folder with the same name as an existing one. What could cause that issue and how I could try to further debug the issue? No errors, no hints in the logs. -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen -Benoît Panizzon- @ HomeOffice und normal erreichbar -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________

dsync with vurtial folder leads to mess of msg ID
by Kirill A. Korinsky 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Greetings, I have a setup with two dovecot servers and dsync replication between them. On both of them I have a virtual folders, forexample All with config: mx1# cat /etc/dovecot/virtual/All/dovecot-virtual * -Trash -Trash/* -Junk -Junk/* all All virtual folders are excluded from replication because it leads to broken replication with errors like: virtual.All can't be created. So, I have. replication_dsync_parameters = -d -l 30 -U -x virtual. Unfortently, after a couple of weeks I've noticed that msg id for the same message on the different servers aren't match. For example: mx1# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox virtual.All header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 157786 mx1# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox INBOX header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 5561 mx1# vs mx2# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox virtual.All header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 157766 mx2# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox INBOX header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 5561 mx2# as you may see msgid at INBOX are matched, but it isn't true for virtual.All, here 157786 vs 157766 So, here the question: how can I sync msg id inside virtual folder on this setup? -- wbr, Kirill

bug dir copy group permissions?
by Marc 23 Sep '24

I am not sure if this page is correct, looks at least like this g+s not ok https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/admin_manual/filesystem_permission/ work-around is to manually create dirs mdbox mdbox/storage mdbox/mailboxes. I would think this is a bug as files seem to be created correctly. group rights are not copied on directories, resulting in getfacl #effective:--- for the acl groups just testing with rm -R -f everything below usertest6 [@ shared]# ls -ln total 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 0 0 34 Sep 23 11:50 bak drwxrwx---+ 4 10001 10001 34 Sep 23 12:18 usertest drwxrwx---+ 3 10002 10002 19 Sep 23 11:51 usertest2 drwxrwx---+ 3 10006 10006 19 Sep 23 12:37 usertest6 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 121 Sep 23 11:46 README where are the group rights on mdbox?

Hi, I'm in a situation whereas I need to backup my email from an IMAP server to a POP3 email client of my choosing. I'm hoping Dovecot can do such a task and is there a container to which I can run to set this up from ? My IMAP email server is maxed and I need to dump all the emails off the IMAP to POP3 as to clear it up. Thank You

shared mailbox not visible, acl_shared_dict stays empty

I am creating the mailbox like this: doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest shared/sharedtest1 I can set acl's (I think), at least the acl get produces the same. doveadm acl set -u usertest shared/sharedtest1 user=usertest6 lookup read write write-seen insert post doveadm acl get -u usertest shared/sharedtest1 However this file stays empty, I have read somewhere it should automatically be updated? acl_shared_dict = file:/tmp/shared-mailboxes.db How should I add entries manually there with: doveadm dict set file:/tmp/shared-mailboxes.db shared/sharedtest2 kempotest6 or with this syntax still???? https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-April/038922.html

public mailbox filesystem layout + permission best practice
by Marc 22 Sep '24

22 Sep '24

I have some issues testing public mailboxes with linux users and groups creating mailboxes for users for the first group is not really a problem: doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest public/publictest1 doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest6 public/publictest2 doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest2 public/publictest3 If I remove usertest6 from testgroup2 roundcube instantly stops showing these mailboxes. However when I try to make a new public mailbox with a different group. I am getting errors. doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup3 mailbox create -u usertest6 public/publictest4 missing +r perm: public/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log public/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log, we're not in group I have the impression I am doing something wrong here, maybe configure the namespace with different filesystem layout? I assume it is possible to work with multiple groups in one public namespace? public/ └── mdbox ├── dovecot.list.index.log ├── dovecot-uidvalidity ├── dovecot-uidvalidity.66f00cc7 ├── mailboxes │ ├── publictest1 │ │ └── dbox-Mails │ │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ │ └── dovecot.index.log │ ├── publictest2 │ │ └── dbox-Mails │ │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ │ └── dovecot.index.log │ ├── publictest3 │ │ └── dbox-Mails │ │ └── dovecot.index.log │ └── testthunderbird │ └── dbox-Mails │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ └── dovecot.index.log └── storage └── dovecot.map.index.log namespace public { disabled = no type = public separator = / prefix = public/ location = mdbox:/home/popusers/public/mdbox list = yes subscriptions = no }

indexer: Error: conn unix:indexer (pid=562491,uid=10003): didn't reply with a valid VERSION line
by phren＠ist-einmalig.de 20 Sep '24

20 Sep '24

Hi, A few weeks ago we moved our mailserver to a new location. On the new location we use now dovecot v2.3.19.1 insteadof v2.3.4.1. We moved the mailboxes by zipping all mailbox on the old location and unzip on the new location. Now we see an indexer error quite often: > indexer: Error: conn unix:indexer (pid=563158,uid=10005): didn't reply with a valid VERSION line: 1 0 indexer indexer Sometimes when we try to use the index for searching we just get no results. We can't really find a cause for this error on the internet. As solution we found "Just do a re-indexing." Ok, but what may cause this error? And how can we prevent this error in the future? As indexer we use lucene. Any hint is appreciated. -- Phren

In case etc. there's alias from domainA to domainB which results in lmtp delivery with both recipients submitted in the same "lmtp session" as "batch", it seems that only one delivery happens, as by the time zlib plugin kicks in - effective user id for the process is already set to second delivery user which fails zlib(at least disabling that/removing it from mail plugins delivery/save is successful). I know that it can mitigate by modifying (in this case exim's) conf and setting batch_max to 1, which results in single submit(single RCPT TO), though still curious if that's by design? What I guess is asynchronous compression ? Or that would be considered a bug? Best Regards

Online classes are eminent among understudies who need to save time on education and spotlight more on work or other private issues. These merge understudies who are taking courses while working and attempting to change family and profession responsibilities, military understudies on sending, and understudies with genuine inadequacies or sickness that make it pursuing for them to go to classes.

They may comparatively have the decision to help you with beating any learning handicaps you have. Copyright infringement suggests utilizing someone else's words and thoughts without their endorsement. It is viewed as a kind of cheating and can accomplish a delicate grade or even send off from school. It is difficult to ensure that a used professional won't phony.

Correct permissions for global sieve scripts
by Richard 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

Hi there, I've set up dovecot via global sieve scripts to send mails that a user manually moved to their junk directory to rspamd to learn them as spam (and learn messages as ham if they are moved out of it). I thought I had it all properly set up, but I'm now again seeing log messages like this: Sep 15 13:01:00 dovecot[523226]: imap(username)<823661><4+8RXyYi2L9/AAAB>: Error: sieve: failed to execute to program `rspamd-learn-spam.sh': refer to server log for more information. [2024-09-15 13:01:00] Sep 15 13:01:00 dovecot[523226]: imap(username)<823661><4+8RXyYi2L9/AAAB>: Error: sieve: Execution of script /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/learn-spam.sieve failed The content of learn-spam.sieve is this: require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve"]; pipe :copy "rspamd-learn-spam.sh"; And the content of rspamd-learn-spam.sh is this: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/rspamc learn_spam All the necessary files are located in /etc/dovecot/sieve/global and are owned by dovecot:dovecot with rw, r, r permissions. Also, I have compiled the .sieve files with sievec, the resulting .svbin files have the same permissions and ownership. What am I doing wrong? I don't see any further "server log" that will tell me more information. I'm using dovecot 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) on Debian 12.7 Best Richard

Allowing parallel read-only requests via doveadm http api
by Kevin Kelker 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

Hi, is there any chance to open the doveadm http api to handle more than one client at a time if the requests are read-only commands that have no risk of breaking something when they run simultaneously? We have a scenario of using it only for getQuota to visualize a live-status of the mailbox usage but every once in a while, there are more than one parallel requests for that that are then getting tcp connection resets. As far as I've seen it in https://dovecot.org/mailman3/archives/list/dovecot@dovecot.org/thread/PYMMJ… spawning another doveadm http api service with another port wouldn't do the trick. If that's not possible, wouldn't be a failure code as a response a more clean approach than just refusing the connection at all? Right now, it's getting logged on the dovecot backend as "doveadm server can handle only a single client" but the requesting client gets a connection reset instead of a json-type response with a failure code.

Selectively query folders for new emails
by Habakuk Tibatong 12 Sep '24

12 Sep '24

Hi folks, I have two questions: - Is it possible to exclude folders from being queried for new emails? I have many folders in my maildir, each of which has many sub-folders, with many sub-sub-folders. My Thunderbird logs in and then queries one folder after the other and this takes a very long time. However, there are only 5 folders into which I automatically sort emails with sieve, and I would like to query only these 5 folders. The other folders are folders into which I sort emails manually. It makes no sense to query them. How could I achieve this? - How can I exclude folders from being displayed in the subscribe window, i.e. that these folders exist, e.g. they are available but cannot be subscribed to, and therefore cannot be displayed in the email client? I plan to introduce a all-times "non-deletable" spam folder, which contains a copy of all spam emails that this user received and which I use to teach spamassassin, without the user being able to see, empty or delete this folder, and without him being able to infect himself with potentially infected emails.

These need to be optionally in Basic auth instead as required by OIDC specification. - oauth2: JWT key type check was too strict. - oauth2: JWT token audience was not validated against client_id as required by OIDC specification. - oauth2: XOAUTH2 and OAUTHBEARER mechanisms were not giving out protocol specific error message on all errors. This broke OIDC discovery. - oauth2: JWT aud validation was not performed if aud was missing from token, but was configured on Dovecot.

~/mail/.imap

the box that runs my mailsever just reported disk > 80% full , so looking to tidy up. I note: sudo du -d2 -k -x /home/graeme/mail | sort -n ... ... 66788 /home/graeme/mail/.imap/spam 198328 /home/graeme/mail/.imap 1564680 /home/graeme/mail/2023 4009336 /home/graeme/mail Now in .imap I have directories dating back to 2013 .... the corresponding mail folders have long since moved to backup. What would be the effect of deleting EVERYTHING in .imap.... will it just get recreated as needed? or do I need to take care and only remove stuff I know is no longer used?

Can I delete duplicate messages under Maildir on the server?
by MI 05 Sep '24

05 Sep '24

After a client misconfiguration, many messages have been deleted. I restored them from backups, but now there are many duplicates. I can identify them on the server, and delete them. But do I need to also delete the dovecot.index files and/or other dovecot* files in the affected folders, or will these be automatically updated? (My Dovecot version is 2.3.13, so I guess I should not use doveadm deduplicate which would risk deleting non-duplicate messages, according to the "doveadm-deduplicate deletes non-duplicates" thread here?)

allow_nets check failure still performs LDAP bind authentication
by Florian Wunderlich 04 Sep '24

04 Sep '24

Postfix authentication via Dovecot. Dovecot performs the allow_nets check, which fails. It then still attempts to authenticate the user via LDAP bind, thus allowing DoS attacks where the entry in the directory will be locked after a few failed attempts. dovecot --version: 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm), x86, no NFS Sep 04 07:26:05 postfix/smtpd[48225]: connect from unknown[182.176.211.10] Sep 04 07:26:17 dovecot[33863]: auth: *ldap(XXX,182.176.211.10): allow_nets check failed: IP 182.176.211.10 not in allowed networks* Sep 04 07:26:17 dovecot[33863]: auth: *ldap(XXX,182.176.211.10): Password mismatch (for LDAP bind)* Sep 04 07:26:27 postfix/smtpd[48225]: warning: unknown[182.176.211.10]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server, sasl_username=(unavailable) Sep 04 07:26:27 postfix/smtpd[48225]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[182.176.211.10] Sep 04 07:26:27 postfix/smtpd[48225]: disconnect from unknown[182.176.211.10] ehlo=2 starttls=1 auth=0/1 commands=3/4 The allow_nets extra field comes from LDAP. This works as a pass_filter query is performed first, which returns the allow_nets. /DN is looked up by sending a pass_filter LDAP request and getting the DN from the reply. This is very similar to doing a password lookup. The only difference is that userPassword attribute isn’t returned. Just as with password lookups, the pass_attrs may contain special extra fields./ https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/authentication/ldap_bind/#… After this, Dovecot should immediately fail the authentication. /If the user tries to log in from elsewhere, the authentication will fail the same way as if a wrong password was given./ https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/authentication/allow_nets/ There is no need to perform the bind authentication. According to the log (and the locked user accounts), it is still performed. Configuration is irrelevant, for completeness’s sake: auth_bind = yes pass_filter = (&(|(objectClass=simpleSecurityObject)(objectClass=posixAccount))(cn=%n)) pass_attrs = \ cn=user, \ allowNets=allow_nets

Inconsistency in map index with dovecot v2.3.21
by Nikolaos Pyrgiotis 02 Sep '24

02 Sep '24

Hello, We have been running dovecot version 2.3.21 since July on debian bookworm system. After upgrading we have seen in the logs similar messages to the following: 2024-08-29T19:33:27.755399+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: Warning: mdbox /path/user1/mdbox/storage: Inconsistency in map index (2213,40 != 2213,56). 2024-08-29T19:33:27.755399+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: Warning: mdbox /path/user1/mdbox/storage: Inconsistency in map index (2213,40 != 2213,56) 2024-08-29T19:33:27.838990+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: sieve: msgid=<39f9c444-0c08-4bda-bfc9-512c34584470(a)modulus.gr>: fileinto action: stored mail into mailbox 'Replies' 2024-08-29T19:33:27.840222+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: Warning: fscking index file /path/user1/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index 2024-08-29T19:33:27.953281+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: Warning: mdbox /path/user1/mdbox/storage: rebuilding indexes 2024-08-29T19:37:27.989792+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481249><vhzsLROj0GYQVgcAfAk26A:P1>: Error: Timeout (180s)while waiting for lock for transaction log file /path/user1/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log (WRITE lock held by pid 481240) 2024-08-29T19:37:27.995913+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481249><vhzsLROj0GYQVgcAfAk26A:P1>: Error: sieve: msgid=<39f9c444-0c08-4bda-bfc9-512c34584470(a)modulus.gr>: fileinto action: failed to store into mailbox 'Mailbox': Timeout (180s) while waiting for lock for transaction log file /path/user1/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log (WRITE lock held by pid 481240) This has happened a few times since we upgraded always by a lmtp process. It seems to be happening randomly and we have not been able to reproduce it. The mailboxes are stored in a glusterfs server, and we use the dovecot director with shared mailboxes architecture. Usually this was mitigated automatically by dovecot index rebuilding, but last time it happened on a mailbox with a lot of giga byte of mail data the following logs were produced for more than an hour: 2024-08-29T19:45:30.506694+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: Error: mmap_anon(/path/user/mdbox/mailboxes/Mailbox/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.cache, 74076160) failed: Cannot allocate memory During that period segfaults starting being generated for the imap processes accessing that mailbox probably caused by timeouts from imap processes attempting to fetch emails from the affected mailbox: [3912187.557029] imap[481783]: segfault at 38 ip 00007fb03248abf8 sp 00007ffc88b264f0 error 4 in libdovecot-storage.so.0.0.0[7fb0323c7000+d8000] likely on CPU 6 (core 3, socket 0) What might be the reason that inconsistency of the map index is introduced on random users? We have seen some other users had similar issues and have mentioned them on this mailing list(dovecot Digest, Vol 249, Issue 4, dovecot Digest, Vol 250, Issue 8)? Is there any update for a mitigation or bug confirmation for dovecot version 2.3.21 that might be responsible? Thank you, Nikos Pyrgiotis

Fwd: maintainer-feedback requested: [Bug 280929] mail/dovecot move bogus warning "Time moved forwards" to debug
by Larry Rosenman 01 Sep '24

01 Sep '24

Comments from the dovecot community? Aug 19, 2024 11:07:30 AM bugzilla-noreply(a)freebsd.org: Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla(a)FreeBSD.org> has asked Larry Rosenman <ler(a)FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 280929: mail/dovecot move bogus warning "Time moved forwards" to debug https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280929 --- Description --- Dovecot complains about time moving forward, which seems to be due to a broken mechanism (on FreeBSD) used to measure timeouts. This warning spams the maillog up to several hundred times per day. There's an ongoing thread about this issue in the freebsd forums: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/dovecot-time-moved-forwards.82886 In post #33 RypPn points out the offending line in main.c and in post #34 msplsh suggests instead of completely removing/commenting out the line, it would be more sensible to move it from 'warning' to 'debug'. This is what this patch does: change the log facility to 'debug' to mute that bogus message for standard configurations, but keep it in 'debug' for anyone who might want to debug that issue in the future. I tested the patch as a local patch in poudriere and it builds fine on 13.3-RELEASE with the quarterly and latest branch.

Hi, I've seen a few emails over the years related to this error message, but they are typically associated with doveadm. In my case, it's related to dovecot itself. I've just set up dovecot-2.3.20-1.fc37.x86_64 on fedora37 and unable to receive mail. The main config was copied over from another dovecot system on fedora37 with virtually identical settings, including the same SSL cert. I've also tried to just migrate the important stuff and otherwise leave the defaults, but I'm having the same problem. imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_listescape_plugin.so imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: Effective uid=1001, gid=1001, home=/home/bcc-user imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: open(/proc/self/io) failed: Permission denied imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/bcc-user imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: fs: root=/home/bcc-user/mail, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/var/spool/mail/bcc-user, alt= imap(bcc-user)<2977522><rappeBf6vLZEw8Eq>: Debug: Mailbox Trash: Mailbox opened I've set the /var/spool/mail/bcc-user permissions to 600, bcc-user:mail.
