Dovecot LMTP mixing up users on multi-recipient mail
by Bernhard Schmidt 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

Hi, I've upgraded a mailstore from Debian Jessie (aka oldstable) with Dovecot 2.2.13 to Debian Buster (next stable) with Dovecot 2.3.4.1 today. It worked pretty well, except that we're seeing error messages very similar to this old thread https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-July/101396.html It appears to be happening when a mail with multiple recipients on this message store is getting delivered through lmtp. Jun 27 11:47:36 lxmhs74 dovecot: lmtp(user1)<47683><sGwaD7eQFF1DugAAgkzuhA:18>: Error: open(/var/cache/dovecot/index/n/user2n/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache) failed: Permission denied (euid=3814520(<unknown>) egid=12(man) missing +x perm: /var/cache/dovecot/index/n/user2, dir owned by 3391995:12 mode=0700) user1 uid is 3814520, user2n uid is 3391995. Dovecot appears to be trying to deliver the message to user1 while using the index directory of user2n. Further configuration: - message store is on NFS - cache directory is on local disk - users are coming from LDAP, one UID per user user_attrs = cn=user,homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid - index directory is calculated from the username maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/cache/dovecot/index/%-1.1n/%n Despite the error messages (which appear dozens of times per delivery attempt) delivery seems to work. Workaround was to set lmtp_destination_recipient_limit = 1 on the postfix in front of the message store. Despite the report linked above being quite old, I can't recall having issues with 2.2.13. === doveconf -n === # OS: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.0 # Hostname: lxmhs74.srv.lrz.de default_vsz_limit = 512 M deliver_log_format = from=<%e>, size=%p, message-id=<%m>, status=%$ imap_id_log = * imap_id_send = * lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes login_greeting = Dovecot ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c session=<%{session}> cipher=<%k> mail_gid = mstore mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/cache/dovecot/index/%-1.1n/%n mail_plugins = quota listescape mail_uid = mstore 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 mmap_disable = yes 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 = INBOX. separator = . type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } plugin { quota = maildir quota_rule = *:storage=1024M quota_rule2 = INBOX.Trash:ignore quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 452 4.2.2 Mailbox is full quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u sieve = ~/currently-active-script.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } pop3_uidl_format = %v-%u protocols = imap lmtp sieve pop3 quota_full_tempfail = yes service anvil { client_limit = 3000 unix_listener anvil { group = sudo mode = 0660 } } service auth { client_limit = 3000 unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mstore mode = 0660 user = mstore } } service imap-login { client_limit = 1024 inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } process_limit = 2500 process_min_avail = 4 service_count = 0 } service imap { process_limit = 8192 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } service_count = 1 } service managesieve { process_limit = 1024 } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service quota-status { client_limit = 20 executable = quota-status -p postfix inet_listener { port = 12340 } } service quota-warning { executable = script /etc/dovecot/quotawarnmsg.sh unix_listener quota-warning { group = mstore mode = 0660 user = mstore } user = mstore } service stats { process_limit = 8192 } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota listescape imap_quota imap_zlib } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota listescape sieve } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota listescape sieve } remote 127.0.0.1 { disable_plaintext_auth = no } remote ::1 { disable_plaintext_auth = no } === Thanks, Bernhard

Replicate shared folders to warm standby host
by Axel Gluth 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

We like to set up our mail system in two datacenters but the wiki<https://wiki.dovecot.org/Replication> says "Shared folder replication doesn't work correctly..." I'm thinking about using an external loadbalancer to ensure that only one host will get connections. Normal operations: client ==imap=> loadbalancer ==imap=> host1 ==replication=> host2 Host1 or Datacenter1 is down: client ==imap=> loadbalancer ==imap=> host2 I see possible problems if host1 comes back and clients connect to host1 before the replication has caught up. But in our case that will be acceptable. Do you consider my idea as safe for production use? Has anybody real world experience with such a setup? Is there a better way to replicate shared folders? Thank you in advance for spending your time on thinking about my problem. Axel

Dovecot/MSQL issue
by Nathan 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

Hello, I'm trying to work through an issue that cropped up on a server I've been working on and haven't found a very good workaround. Dovecot is operating in a jailed environment. The configuration in dovecot-sql.conf.ext has been set appropriately with the host=127.0.0.1 (which works from a jailed environment) and when dovecot attempts to auth it appears to perform a reverse dns lookup and overwrites the host with the result localhost before using the msql credentials 'user'@'localhost' which then fails after timing out. I'm currently running version 2.2.33.2 of dovecot. The workaround seems to be to have two credentials for the same user. 'user@'localhost' and 'user'@'127.0.0.1'; postfix operates in a jail as well and works around the jail issue in the same way but doesn't overwrite the specified host with a reverse dns lookup. Anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this issue better? or maybe there's a way to force different behavior which I haven't yet found in the documentation? Any help is much appreciated. Best Regards.

Applying Dovecot for a large / deep folder-hierarchy archive.
by Arnold Opio Oree 26 Jun '19

26 Jun '19

Hello to you all, I'd like to ask about my intended application of Dovecot to create a folder-hierarchy for storing our enterprise emails, which are treated as live data rather than archives for compliance or occasional / reactive retrieval. The data is presently not that large (a few gigabytes), but it is expected to grow rapidly. Up to this stage the data has been containedin a Microsoft Exchange mailbox (2013), and then in an offline PST. The move to the offline PST was by necessity, as the large number offolders, and depth of hierarchy to my best understanding caused the exchange server / outlook / evolution mail clients to begin tomalfunction. To cope with this the archive was broken up and the bulk stored in the offline PST and the most active components stored inonline Exchange mailboxes. I have some understanding of the fs mbox format, and also the mitigations to be made for certain characters / strings. My main concern is whether Dovecot is likely to be able to cope well with a large number of folders / depth of hierarcy. I will really appreciate any help / advice you can give.

Exclude dovecot-uidlist files from a Maildir backup ?
by David Pottage 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

Hi, I am using restic to backup my email (stored in dovecot Maildir format) to Amazon S3 As each message is a separate file on disk, and those files don't change after the email has been delivered and read by the user, the incremental backup each day is fairly efficient as it only stored new mails. However, the dovecot-uidlist files change frequently, and are often quite large. The restic backup program detects the file has changed and uploads a new version, but is not smart enough to detect that only a few lines have changed, so it uploads a fresh copy of the entire file to remote storage. I have done some test backups and have noticed, that if I exclude those files from the backup, it completes much faster and uploads far less. Would this be a reasonable policy? My backup is mainly there against unlikely but severe events such as complete hard drive failure, so if I ever had to use it, I would not mind wating for my email client to re-download all my emails. -- David Pottage

Dovecot LDA error - Invalid -f parameter: Invalid character in path
by Bruno de Paula Larini 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

Hi list. I'm using dovecot as postfix's LDA. The version is 2.3.6. Last week some spammer set the envelope's FROM to "foo@bar@domain.com" (with two @). While trying to deliver (as this one didn't hit the spamassassin's score), dovecot said the following: Jun 21 02:35:58 mymailserver postfix/pipe[29736]: ADA268195E: to=<user@mydomain>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.08, delays=0.03/0.02/0/0.04, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: lda: Fatal: Invalid -f parameter: Invalid character in path ) Which caused postfix to put it on the bounce list, but the spammer's destiny don't really exist. I could successfully mimic the spammer using telnet and putting two @ in "mail from" address. I don't think this should be an expected behaviour, right? Or is this some config based error? Thanks!

Authentication against multiple mysql databases
by Graham S. Jarvis 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

Hello, I have setup authorisation against a mysql database. I'd now like to do (additional) authentication against another mysql database. i.e. I have two databases with usernames and passwords and I'd like allow all the users from both databases to be able to login to IMAP. Can I simply extend 10-auth.conf in conf.d with additional !include files - like auth-sql.db1.conf.ext auth-sql.db2.conf.ext and associated filed etc. Or do I have to create a new database and set up a view onto the other two databases / tables? Any ideas? Thanks, -Graham-

Re: Mail migration problem
by Germán Herrera 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

Well, judging by the error message it appears like dovecot hasn't been compiled with support for maildir, which is strange because I don't see any way to disable in the compile-time options. Are you using the precompiled package from the distro or compiling dovecot by yourself? Could you share the output of "dovecot --build-options" and "dovecot --version"? Thanks!

Hello, I'm trying to get last login user tracking going, using Dovecot and mysql. I'm using: https://docs.iredmail.org/track.user.last.login.html and it is working, I am seeing an entry and it is updated, the problem is the last login value does not mean anything to me. I was wondering if it's possible to have the value be of a last login date and time, and also a remote ip would be helpful so I can see from where users are logging in from. Thanks. Dave.

Submission service and SMTP AUTH capability
by Germán Herrera 22 Jun '19

22 Jun '19

Hi Everyone! I've setup dovecot 2.3.2.1 on a Gentoo server. I want to configure the submission service in order to replace the corresponding part in Postfix (which is my SMTP server). I configured submission it with just a few options different of the default ones: submission_client_workarounds = whitespace-before-path submission_relay_host = 127.0.0.1 submission_relay_port = 10026 submission_relay_trusted = yes The issue I'm having is that the SMTP AUTH is enforced and performed correctly, but it doesn't get published on the server capaabilities when the connection doesn't come from localhost. This causes issues with some smtp clients which authenticate (python smtpclient). When I telnet the submission service from localhost I get: 220 (protected hostname) Dovecot ready. EHLO L 250-(protected hostname) 250-8BITMIME 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-BURL imap 250-CHUNKING 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-SIZE 250-STARTTLS 250 PIPELINING quit 221 2.0.0 Bye But when I do the same from another host other than the one running dovecot (telnetting the submission port): 220 (protected hostname) Dovecot ready. EHLO L 250-(protected hostname) 250-8BITMIME 250-BURL imap 250-CHUNKING 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-SIZE 250-STARTTLS 250 PIPELINING quit 221 2.0.0 Bye As you can see, the AUTH capability is not there. Do you know what could be causing this issue? Your help is much appreciated! German

Howdy, I'm using dovecot and mysql users, and i'm creating the password with: ENCRYPT('some-passwd',CONCAT('$6$', SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16))) So far so good, everything's fine. Today saw that i didn't enabled CRAM-MD5, but if I do, and the (at least) IMAP client (roundcube/thunderbird/etc) issues CRAM-MD5 it doesn't authenticate. What am i doing wrong, or that can be done so that all types work (SASL PLAIN LOGIN + CRAM-MD5)? Thanks in advanced,

Re: mremap_anon() failed: Not enough space

I seem to recall these cache files ballooned in size when I did some doveadm search queries -- under some circumstances some headers fetches are cached for later searches, which may explain the growth over time as clients do mailbox searches. As for Solaris10 mremap_anon() space failures, I'm a litte hazy on memory mapping and shared memory, but I wonder if this has anything to do with kernel maximum shared memory limits. I know that for some of our Solaris 10 servers, I had to up these values in /etc/system to get some of our services to work. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

mremap_anon() failed: Not enough space
by Dave McGuire 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Hey folks. Suddenly I'm getting lots and lots of messages like this in my logs: Jun 19 14:47:31 <hostname> dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.error] imap(<address>): Error: mremap_anon(/var/mail/<domain>/<uname>/mailboxes/INBOX/Trash/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.cache, 255557632) failed: Not enough space I'm running 2.2.36.1 under Solaris 10 (patched to current) on UltraSPARC. There's plenty of memory, plenty of swap, and plenty of disk, but this is a fairly busy mail server. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm guessing I have to increase a vsz_limit somewhere, but where? It's not clear to me exactly what is running out of what here. The output of doveconf -n is pasted below.

IMAP IDLE
by Jorge Bastos 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Hi, With outlook 2016+ i've seen that IDLE may be missing some configuration. Almost all time, when i'm in the inbox, i don't get new emails if no activity for 1 or 2 minutes (i think), i have to get out of the account and select the inbox or click other folder in the account and go to inbox again for them to appear. My idle conf's are the defaults, the one's bellow. Is there anything else that i need to make it work always and the change folders is not needed for outlook clients? root@fastmail:/etc/dovecot# doveconf |grep -i idle default_idle_kill = 1 mins imap_idle_notify_interval = 2 mins imapc_max_idle_time = 29 mins mailbox_idle_check_interval = 30 secs

recipient delimiters
by ＠lbutlr 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Since many broken websites and idiot companies will not allow a ‘+’ in an email address, I have long used two delimiters in postfix: recipient_delimiter = +_ However, now that dovecot is handling verification for postfix via reject_unverified_recipient, dovecot complains about any address using an _ as a delimiter. I don’t see a way to tell dovecot what delimiters to use, and it appears it is still using a single delimiter only despite postfix having added support for more than one years ago. Anything that I can do in dovecot to 1) validate these emails and 2) treat user_extension the same as user+extension at delivery? -- Love is like oxygen / You get too much / you get too high / Not enough and you're gonna die

RFC 8314 § 3.3 support at Dovecot submission proxy service?
by Robert Scheck 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Hello all, I'm currently wondering whether Dovecot submission proxy service supports RFC 8314 § 3.3 as well, which means implicit TLS for SMTP submission. https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/2cbbe9b4829adb184c83dbf780316f41445590… from Git master just mentions port 587 like this: service submission-login { inet_listener submission { #port = 587 } } As per RFC 8314 § 3.3, I would expect the following to work (which I did not try), and if it already works, I even would expect this snippet part of the future Dovecot example/default configuration: service submission-login { inet_listener submission { #port = 587 } inet_listener submissions { #port = 465 #ssl = yes } } And if it isn't supported yet, I would indeed like to raise this as feature request. Note that 465 is named "submissions" as per RFC 8314 § 7.3. Kind regards Robert Scheck

Shared mailbox: share whole inbox
by Zdeněk Sobotka 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Hi, I'd like to share the whole INBOX of one user with another. That should go through: doveadm acl add -u user1(a)example.cz SharedDirectory user=user2(a)example.cz lookup read insert It's works fine, when I connect through imap I see: . list "" "*"* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" shared* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" shared/example.cz/name.surname* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" shared/example.cz/name.surname/SharedDirectory* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" INBOX. OK List completed (0.000 + 0.000 secs). But now I would like to share the whole INBOX by: doveadm acl delete -u user1(a)example.cz SharedDirectory user1(a)example.cz 2 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" INBOX 2 OK List completed (0.000 + 0.000 + 0.002 secs). doveadm acl add -u user1(a)example.cz INBOX user=user2(a)example.cz lookup read insert 2 list "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" INBOX 2 OK List completed (0.000 + 0.000 + 0.002 secs). But it doesn't do what I expected, IMAP output it's the same and INBOX in shared folder is not subscribed. I'm looking for help to debug what might be wrong. Thanks.

per-user mail_max_userip_connections in userdb extra fields
by Eirik Rye 18 Jun '19

18 Jun '19

Hi, The documentation at https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields states that "It's possible to override settings from dovecot.conf", as well as the following: > If you want to override settings inside sections, you can separate the > section name and key with '/'. For example: > > namespace default { > inbox = yes > separator = . > location = maildir:~/Maildir > } > > The separator setting can be overridden by returning namespace/default/separator=. extra field. As such, we would expect for it to be possible to override mail_max_userip_connections under the "protocol imap" section, with a passwdfile userdb looking something like this: example:{CRYPT}x:1011:1011::/mail/example::userdb_protocol/imap/mail_max_userip_connections=100 The userdb returns the expected fields in the correct format (according to the documentation): # doveadm user -u example userdb: example user : example uid : 1011 gid : 1011 home : /mail/example protocol/imap/mail_max_userip_connections: 100 However, this new setting is not honoured. To test, I set "mail_max_userip_connections=1" in 20-imap.conf, and noticed that my second connection was closed with the following error: dovecot[13573]: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections=1) I also attempted the same setting, without the "protocol/imap" prefix. Is this not possible? Are there restrictions to what settings may be overridden in userdb? The documentation appears to suggest that there isn't. Best regards, Eirik Rye

Dovecot LMTP rejecting mail from address with apostrophe
by Michal Krzysztofowicz 18 Jun '19

18 Jun '19

Hi, I have an OpenSMTPD / Dovecot installation on an OpenBSD server. I recently came across an issue where Dovecot LMTP would reject a message sent to a local user from an address which contains a single apostrophe (e.g. firstname.o'lastname(a)example.com) Apparently apostrophe, as well as a number of other special characters, are valid characters in the local part of the email address (that's everything to the left of the @ character). The message I get in the logs is: Jun 14 11:57:34 atlantic smtpd[42606]: 21749fd12ac76b57 mda delivery evpid=56aed6237d6444a0 from=<firstname.o'lastname(a)example.com> to=<me(a)example.org> rcpt=<me(a)example.org> user=me delay=0s result=PermFail stat=Error ("mail.lmtp: LMTP server error: 501 5.5.4 Invalid FROM: Invalid character in localpart") where example.com is external domain and example.org is a local one. The part of the message: LMTP server error: 501 5.5.4 Invalid FROM: Invalid character in localpart is returned by dovecot-lmtp. I’ve had a brief look at the source code, and it seems the responsible code is somewhere inside src/lib-smtp/smtp-address.c and, if I understand the code correctly, the address parsing in actually done in src/lib-smtp/smtp-parser.c. My question is is there a configuration option, similar to auth_username_chars which lists valid characters in the email address, to stop Dovecot LMTP from rejecting such emails? or maybe you know another way of getting it to accept an email from such address? My dovecot version is: $ dovecot --version 2.3.5.1 (7ec6d0ade) And in case that makes any difference, I'm running OpenBSD 6.5 patched to 005_libssl. Thanks!

Problem syncing e-mails with Outlook
by Odhiambo Washington 18 Jun '19

18 Jun '19

Hello all, I am running dovecot- 2.3.5.2 with mdbox storage. I deleted the dovecot.index* from all my folders, which led to mails not being displayed. I rebuilt the indexes for all the users after that, using: doveadm force-resync -u user@domain "*" However, the problem now is that Outlook,configured for IMAP, is not able to sync the mails with the server. I can login to the server using webmail and I see all the e-mails listed. However, when I connect outlook, it does not sync all these e-mails. I am seeing the errors below. Not sure how to fix that.

I'm using mdbox. What's the consequence of deleting dovecot.index.* from all folders? All mail gets lost or I can rebuild the indexes and get the mails?

mailbox encryption
by David Mehler 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hello, I've got dovecot 2.3 going, and I've got a file 10-mailcrypt.conf which is loading mail_crypt, thinking that that plugin would propagate through all the services, sieve, lmtp, and mailbox message storage. I'm not seeing anything in the logs indicating that the encryption is happening. I am using a file format dbox specifically sdbox format, and in my mailbox I am seeing files like u.5 and others, a file check on them reveals them as data. Should I be seeing encryption in the logs? Thanks. Dave.

LDA vs LMTP change in header
by ＠lbutlr 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Switching to dovecot LMTP appears to have change the information in the received header, which appears to be causing my spam filter to wig out and mark local to local emails as spam. Here’s what the received header used to look like: Received: from [10.0.5.3] (c-71-229-144-93.hsd1.co.comcast.net [71.229.144.93]) by mail.covisp.net (Postfix) with ESMTPS id B67B8118AD59 for <kreme(a)kreme.com>; Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:19:02 -0600 (MDT) As opposed to now: Received: from darth.lan (c-73-14.161.160.hsd1.co.comcast.net [73.14.161.160]) by mail.covisp.net(Postfix 3.4.5/8.13.0) with SMTP id unknown; Sun, 16 Jun 2019 15:26:32 -0600 (envelope-from <kreme(a)kreme.com>) The first has an ESMTPS id and the other has SMTP id unknown, which seems to be causing Spamass-milter to treat the LMTP emails as unauthenticated and then ding them for being from public IPs. -- Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears, To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears

What does Solr index do and how to handle its high avaliablity?
by luckydog xf 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hi, guys, Can you give me an example of solr usage in dovecot? As far as I know, you can search email easily by MUA like outlook, so which role does solr play? And based on https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2019-April/115575.html I'm going to use an VIP to host 2 mail servers. Currently, it works in fail over and fail back test except solr index, so how to resolve this? Is it possible to put dovecot index on shared storage like NFS? How to if it's a yes. It seems it's under /var/solr/data/dovecot/data/ How to rebuild if I don't put index data on shared storage in case of fail over? Thanks,

Self-signed TLS client certificates
by Marvin Gülker 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Dear List, I self-host my e-mail and run Dovecot since ever I do that. Dovecot version is 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4), running on Debian testing. Now I am trying to configure Dovecot for client TLS certificates. I have a self-signed certificate whose private key resides on a smartcard (Yubikey, to be exact). I wanted Dovecot to accept that TLS client certificate instead of a password. So I searched and found this wiki page: <https://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration#Client_certificate_verif…> But that Wiki page says: > The CA file should contain the certificate(s) followed by the matching > CRL(s). Note that the CRLs are required to exist. I have now messed three hours or so with OpenSSL to get a CRL generated for my self-signed certificate, but I can't get that to work (the problem appearently being that OpenSSL doesn't play well with private keys on smartcards). It doesn't make sense anyway, why does one need a CRL for a self-signed certificate? If the self-signed certificate's key gets compromised, the CRL does not help at all. So, here are my questions: 1. Is a CRL really a hard requirement? 2. If not: can I just use the self-signed certificate of my private key for the ssl_ca setting? 3. If yes: any idea how I can generate a CRL for my smartcard-bound self-signed certificate? Marvin -- Blog: https://mg.guelker.eu

NOTIFY: bug on mailbox renaming and deletion ?
by kael 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Hello, Testing the NOTIFY extension on imap.vivaldi.net, seems there's a bug when a mailbox is renamed or deleted. Requesting events with: A1 NOTIFY SET (inboxes (SubscriptionChange MailboxName)) Here are the sent events: - mailbox creation with automatic subscription (ok): * LIST () "." foo * LIST (\Subscribed) "." foo - mailbox renaming (bug ?): * LIST () "." bar ("OLDNAME" (foo)) * LIST (\Subscribed) "." bar * LIST () "." foo - mailbox deletion (bug ?): * LIST (\NonExistent) "." Trash.bar * LIST () "." Trash.bar It seems that for the two latter cases, the last received event is incorrect, Dovecot notifying of mailbox unsubscription after the mailbox has been renamed or deleted. In that case a client would consider those two last events not as mailbox renaming or deletion, but as a mailbox creation, wouldn't it ? Am I missing something ? Cheers. -- kael

Dovecot 2.3 error, FreeBSD 12 in a jail
by David Mehler 15 Jun '19

15 Jun '19

Hello, I'm trying to get Dovecot going on my system. It's a FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE system and it's running dovecot 2.3 via ports in a jail. I'm getting the same error message(s) as in this bug report, which has been marked as closed: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225078 Dovecot is not starting at all in this jail when starting with service dovecot start. A service dovecot status also reveals the error message about /var/run/dovecot/dovecot.conf file, but a doveconf -n does not reveal any configuration file issues. I did put a symlink in /var/run/dovecot to /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, this did not correct the issue. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

LMTP doesn't save to +mailbox
by ＠lbutlr 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

Since switching to lmtp in dovecot, mail to user+mailboix(a)example.com does not get saved in ‘.mailbox’ as it did with LDA, instead it gets saved into the INBOX. If it matters, these are users who do NOT have a ~/.active_sieve file. I could understand (though it would bene a bit annoying) if the save overrode this mechanism. I did add lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes in the protocol lmtp block protocol lmtp { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)covisp.net # required mail_plugins = quota sieve info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp.log lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes } This is the error I am getting when sending to luser+covisp(a)covisp.net lmtp(luser(a)covisp.net)<91193><EqkiJV70A105ZAEAIdGjjQ>: Error: sieve: msgid=<A3ED963A-97FB-4A1F-9F09-45F2AEA96CF6(a)kreme.com>: failed to store into mailbox 'covisp': Mailbox doesn't exist: covisp lmtp(luser(a)covisp.net)<91193><EqkiJV70A105ZAEAIdGjjQ>: Error: sieve: Execution of script /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve failed with unsuccessful implicit keep # cat /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve [13:32] [/var/log] require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-spam-flag" "YES" { fileinto "Junk"; } (This file hasn’t changed in a year, so it worked fine with the lda instead of the lmtp setup.

Dovecot director: show user breakdown by director?
by Eirik Rye 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

Hi, We have recently started using the director in some tests. We are using the static passdb setup (proxy=y nopassword=y) for now, where authentication is done on the downstream IMAP servers. "dovecot director status" shows a breakdown of proxied connections per backend, but there does not seem to be a similar breakdown of user connections per director. The output of "doveadm who" is empty. I assume this is due to there being no local userdb/passdb on the directors? root@xxx:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# doveadm who username # proto (pids) (ips) Is there a way in Dovecot to see which (or even how many) users are connected to a specific director without having to count TCP connections? Best regards, Eirik Rye

MultiMaster dsync (cluster1 cluster2 cluster3)
by Matthew Brown 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

Will MultiMaster dsync work fine or will be big problems ? I configured dovecot to dsync from serv1 to serv2 to serv3 and repeat to serv1 to serv2 to serv3 and repeat... When email received to serv2, it will be synced to serv3, and serv3 will sync it to serv1, and serv1 will sync it to serv2 and will stop here because emails matched. What problems can be with this kind of configuration ? (except that if one of server(cluster) will be stopped, sync will be stopped too until cluster is online again)

Sieve rewrite headers?
by ＠lbutlr 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

I’ve bene looking for examples on how to do this, but so far am coming up short. I want to check certain messages for a reply-ro header and if it is present, rewrite it to X-Reply-To: and then add my own reply-to header. I don’t see anything in the various sieve examples I’ve found on altering the actual message. There is the editheader extension, but I failed to find documentation or examples on how to use it. It appears that I can add a header and delete a header (addheader deleteheader?) but not rewrite one. So something like if header “Reply-to: foo(a)bar.xn--tld-9o0a { addheader "X-Reply-To: foo(a)bar.xn--tld-9o0a deleteheader “Reply-To:” addheader "X-Reply-To: bar(a)foo.xn--tld-9o0a } ?? Do I need to delete the header or will the add header overwrite the one that is there? Also, how do people manage different sieve files? Just cat them all into the active one, or is there a mechanism to import/switch/load other files?

Outlook renames Junk folder
by Cliff Hayes 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

Hello, Some versions of Outlook will randomly rename the Junk folder to Junk Email. This of course causes errors because Dovecot can no longer store junk. I go in to Outlook for each user and add another Junk folder, so now they have Junk and Junk Email. This fix action lasts a while until Outlook decides to do it again. Is there a way to tell Dovecot that if the Junk folder doesn't exist, try sending the email to Junk Email folder? Thanks in advance.

Migrated from maildir to sdbox: questions
by Ranbir 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

Hi Everyone, I migrated my maildir mailboxes to sdbox without any show stopping errors, but I did see this during the migration and now I'm also seeing it in the log: Warning: quota: Namespace '' is not Maildir, skipping for Maildir++ quota I'm not quite sure why this is happening. Any ideas? I am using a "public" namespace for several mailboxes to share emails: # public namespace configuration namespace { type = public # the default separator for Maildir is ".", so that is what should be # used automatically. separator = . prefix = Public. location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/thesandhufamily.ca/public subscriptions = no } Under the "public" dir in the old maildir setup, I have folders configured for various mail accounts. For example: .Ads .Junk .Bills etc. These "users" are setup in a passwd file so that I can use a different mail storage location for them than the one they get from ldap (same as above). Using dsync to migrate my other mailboxes was easy, but I don't know how to migrate these public mailboxes. I looked through the wiki and didn't see anything about how to do it. Could someone explain how I can migrate the public mailboxes? -- Ranbir

Sieve to strip html from multipart messages
by ＠lbutlr 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

Is is possible (I’m sure it is, so how) to strip multipart messages that are HTML and text of the HTML portion and leave the bare text message without also stripping other parts (like images or attached files). Or also to take messages that are only HTML and strip the HTML and replace it with a plain text version? I used to do this a long time ago with procmail and lynx, but it was never reliable since procmail doesn’t really understand MIME.

Updating passwords
by ＠lbutlr 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

I created some new users in my MySQL database using postfoxadmin. The passwords looked correct in the database and show the right prefix {SHA256-CRYPT} but logins were failing, so I manually created new passwords from the command line: doveadm pw -s SHA256-CRYPT -p “a password" -u kremels(a)kreme.com {SHA256-CRYPT}$5$ZKsovTv0Ddc9k4… I then went into the postfix database and manually updated the password field in the database. update mailbox set password = '$5$ZKsovTv0Ddc9k4…' where username like 'kremels(a)kreme.com'; SOME of the accounts can now login, but not all. I get a debug line like: dovecot: auth-worker(26599): Debug: sql(kremels(a)kreme.com,xx.xx.xx.xx,<rnadomlookingstuff>): SHA256-CRYPT(a password) != '$5$ZKsovTv0Ddc9k4… -- 'They've given us the answers,' he [Carrot] said.

Sql user and maildirs

For many years I had the following in my dovecot.conf: userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext default_fields = uid=vpopmail gid=vchkpw mail_location=/usr/local/virtual/%u/Maildir mail=maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%u/Maildir driver = sql } Recently, I started having quite a lot of errors on one MySQL account (used as a bcc backup account) along the lines of Fatal: Namespace '': Ambiguous mail location setting, don't know what to do with it: /usr/local/virtual/backup@domain/Maildir (try prefixing it with mbox: or maildir: Messages were sitting in the mail and were also getting dumped into /usr/local/virtual/backup@domain/new and I ended up running a fun little awk to move them into the right folders: grep -r "<backup+" . |awk -F: '{t=tolower($2); f=tolower($1); gsub(/@.*/, "/", t); sub(/<backup\+/, "../Maildir/", t); sub(/\.\//, "",f); cmd="mv " f" “t; system(cmd); }’ So I changed my doevecot.conf to: userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext default_fields = uid=vpopmail gid=vchkpw mail_location=maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%u/Maildir mail=maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%u/Maildir driver = sql } And the errors went away. So, no problem here to solve, but I am curious why I haven’t been having issues until quite recently? Was there a change or have I stumbled into something where it only looks like I’ve fixed the issue? In case it matters? # cat dovecot-sql.conf.ex [7:57] [/etc/dovecot] driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfixusers user=dovecot password=x default_pass_scheme = SHA256-CRYPT password_query = select password FROM mailbox where username ='%u' user_query = select 89 as uid, 89 as gid, concat('/usr/local/virtual/', maildir, 'Maildir') as home FROM mailbox where username = '%u' The only ‘recent’ change I’ve made to my configuration was creating the Maildir/ subfolder for all the virtual users instead of using the ‘mailder’ from the sql table (that is, I added “, ‘Maildir’” to the concat, but that was quite awhile ago. I’m pretty sure I’d have noticed this before. Is that user_query as it should be or should I set concat('/usr/local/virtual/', maildir) as home and also set concat(‘maildir:/usr/local/virtual/', maildir, 'Maildir') as mail here rather than in the userdb block? -- K is for KATE who was struck by an axe L is for Leo who swallowed some tacks

Re: doveconf complains No matches on !include conf.d/* line but still writes out contents in conf.d
by Ben Ma 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

Further investigation shows that `doveconf` called `/usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve` which in return calls `doveconf` again, but with another uid (possible? I'm not sure) and a few extra arguments, which causes a call to `glob` in `src/config/config-parser.c:settings_include` to fail with `GLOB_NOMATCH`. I'd be appreciate if anyone can provide information on suspicious permission-relating operation that `managesieve` does before calling `doveconf`.

since moving/upgrading system I've noticed I no longer get sieve script compiled, there is no dovecot.svbin created in /var/vmail/vmail1/sbt.net.au/voytek(a)tld.au/sieve what am I missing, how to check ? also, looking at sieve.log, I see a lot of May 31 06:32:50 lda(voytek(a)sbt.net.au)<1234><c4aVBfI98FzSBAAAyLbbsQ>: Error: sieve: Failed to initialize script execution: Invalid postmaster_address: invalid address `root' specified for the postmaster_address setting # grep root dovecot.conf postmaster_address = root what should I have ? # dovecot --version 2.3.6 (7eab80676)

FTS Xapian
by Daniel Miller 09 Jun '19

09 Jun '19

For my primary namespace this is working fine - thanks to the developers! It also appears to work great for shared folders as well. But my virtual folders aren't returning results - at least not to the client. The logs show FTS Xapian opening several DB files and getting results - but nothing is being returned to client. Is this a config issue on my side or is this a current limitation of the plugin? -- Daniel

Re: Potfix+Dovecot with dsync replication problem
by Zeljko Dokman 05 Jun '19

Hi all, I am still struggling with this issue. I scraped my previous configuration and started from beginning. Thanks to Aki Tuomi and his suggestion I changed the users in my configurations from vmail --> root and that helped. Now I have a working replication but with some problems and strange behavior. Replication works only when I manually execute a command: "doveadm sync -A tcp:secundary:server:12345" Automatic fast and full sync do not work: doveadm replicator status "*" username priority fast sync full sync success sync failed zdokman none 01:46:14 01:46:14 01:46:14 - doveadm replicator status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 0 Waiting 'failed' requests 0 Total number of known users 1 doveadm replicator dsync-status username type status - Not connected maillog has no error entries. my conf files are attached. I don't understand why is this happening and how to fix it, any help is much appreciated.

Stats/Metrics in 2.3
by Nikolai Lusan 03 Jun '19

03 Jun '19

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Greetings, So the changes to the stats modules between v2.2 and v2.3 have broken some of my monitoring. I am attempting to use the new method of gathering "metrics" from "events" - but the details in the documentation are a bit thin. I started with the examples provided at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Statistics and tried to build from there with only moderate success. What I am trying to achieve is the monitoring of login attempts (with successes and failures as separate modules - as well as aborted attempts), user sessions an bytes transferred. All this for multiple virtual domains and users. I have attached my current /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-stats.conf so people can see what I have attempted so far. Based on that file the output I get is: # doveadm stats dump metric_name field count sum min max avg median stddev %95 imap_login_attempt_lusan.id.au duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 imap_login_lusan.id.au_failed duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 imap_login_lusan.id.au_success duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 imap_select_no duration 702 197998 89 13942 282.05 133 1247.14 278 imap_select_no_notfound duration 702 197998 89 13942 282.05 133 1330.67 285 imap_command_list duration 14 287397 17595 25823 20528.36 20060 2194.36 25823 imap_command_select duration 1593 2354698 355 81662 1478.15 743 4583.03 4460 imap_command_search duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 imap_command_fetch_ok duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 storage_http_gets duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 Based on the metrics I have set I would expect to see entries in the first 2 lines at least, given that there are multiple users logged into the server from the monitored domain (or at least the domain I am trying to monitor to begin with). I am also not sure how to get the session and data transfer information out of the metrics/stats system. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

Mailman option "Set Reply-To header to list" unavailable
by Ralph Seichter 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

Looking at https://dovecot.org/mailman/options/dovecot I see that the option "Set Reply-To header to list?" does not accept any changes from me. I assume this might be related to DMARC related header mangling that was discussed at length before. While I do not want to open that particular can of worms again, I would like to force Reply-To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org for my own (!) postings to this mailing list. I actually set this header in my MUA when I post to the Dovecot ML, but it gets overwritten to include my own sender address in Reply-To, which is not what I want. Is there something I can do on my end to ensure that replies get sent to the list only? If not, Is this something the list owners can set for me? Thanks, Ralph

macOS Notes.app IMAP Syncing Not Working
by Steven Smith 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

I’m requesting help getting macOS’s Notes.app to sync notes with a new dovecot IMAP server. Thanks to dovecot’s excellent online documentation and help from this list, I have a new perfectly functioning IMAP server. The issue is that macOS Note.app does not sync with this server. However, iOS Notes.app *does* sync and work well with this IMAP server, and the differences between macOS and iOS Notes apps are well known. (Thanks, Apple.) https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/265579/notes-wont-sync-via-imap-i… <https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/265579/notes-wont-sync-via-imap-i…> https://jpmens.net/2015/09/28/experiments-using-imap-for-notes/ <https://jpmens.net/2015/09/28/experiments-using-imap-for-notes/> … I am migrating from a working Server.app system in which Notes.app syncing does work across all devices, and therefore have a working dovecot configuration from Server.app, although it does not contain an explicit configuration for the “Notes” mailbox. I would greatly appreciate any help or pointers for these questions: Does anyone have a working template for dovecot that works with macOS Notes.app? I’ve posted doveconf -n of both the new server and the old Server.app server below. Would you all be able to provide advice on TO-DO’s and NOT-TO-DO’s for mailbox/name-space reconfiguration as I try to muck around with a nicely working, deployed IMAP server? I believe that the solution has something to do with name spaces and separators, and I’ve already changed the separator from the original ‘/’ to ‘.’ on the working server without success or obvious changes. All the mail boxes on the new IMAP server look like this, *without* a prefix ‘.’: > ls -1 /var/mail/tld.domain.mail/username/mdbox/mailboxes/ > Archive/ > Deleted Messages/ > Drafts/ > INBOX/ > Junk/ > Notes/ > Sent/ > Trash/ All the mailboxes on the working Server.app mailserver look like this, *with* a prefix ‘.’: > $ sudo ls -1 /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/users/username > .Archive > .Deleted Messages > .Drafts > .Junk > .Notes > .Sent Messages > cur > … > new > subscriptions > tmp Here are the `doveconf -n` of the new server that doesn’t sync macOS Notes.app, and the old Server.app IMAP

[mail-crypt-plugin] Private key location in Folder Key Mode
by emordin 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

Hi, So I am trying to locate the private key in dovecot-attributes but I can't seem to find it. I have went thru the strings in the file with the lib-dcrypt document as a guide but the private key doesn't seem to be in there. I'm guessing the private key is an internal attribute located here '/private/vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt' , but according to the mail-attribute.h file that location is not accessible. Is this true? Or is there a way to see the private key? Thanks. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

> Can you try rm dovecot-attributes file? Okay it worked. I kinda did that by 'rm -rf' the entire /var/vmail/domain, and then I ran the following: doveadm -o plugin/mail_crypt_private_password=desired_password mailbox cryptokey generate -u user -UR And I got the check mark and the ID string of characters. I sent a new email to the server, and was able to open and read the email =) I got confused on the docs... So only if using unencrypted folder keys, could I open a CRYPTED email and read it right away. But if using encrypted folder keys, first I would have to set a password for the key before I could open the CRYPTED email ? I thought logging in to the mailbox would connect the password to the key automatically. Thanks again. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

So I believe I generated a key successfully with: 'doveadm mailbox cryptokey generate -u user -UR' because I got the output with the check mark and the Public ID string of characters. However I still can't read the CRYPTED emails when logging in with IMAP.. i'm still getting the following error in the mail log: Error: read() failed: read(/var/vmail/[domain . com/user/Maildir/cur/](http://domain.com/user/Maildir/cur/)<email_index>) failed: Private key not available: Cannot decrypt key ... : error:03070068:big num routines:BN_mpi2bn:encoding error I've tried to list the key with 'doveadm mailbox cryptokey list -u user' but I'm only getting the following output: Folder Active Public ID And I've tried to create a password with 'doveadm mailbox cryptokey password -u user -n Password1' and I'm getting the following output: result: dcrypt_key_load_private(...) failed: password missing Also my settings in conf.d: 10-mail.conf - mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt plugins{ mail_crypt_curve = secp512r1 mail_crypt_save_version = 2 mail_crypt_require_encrypted_user_key = yes } 20-lmtp.conf - protocol lmtp{ mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve } And my settings in dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mailserver user=mailuser password=1234 password_query = SELECT email as user,password, '%w' AS userdb_mail_crypt_private_password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'; In the virtual_users table I have: id, domain_id, email, password Any ideas what the issue may be? Also am I suppose to add the 'userdb_mail_crypt_private_password' into the table and put the virtual users email login password in there? Or is it suppose to be a temporary query? Thanks.

In Folder key plugin operation mode, using the following password query: password_query = SELECT \ email as user, password, \ '%w' AS userdb_mail_crypt_private_password \ FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'; Say I have two 'email' users...will each 'email' have a 'userdb_mail_crypt_private_password' field with a plaintext password (%w) in it? And is the 'userdb_mail_crypt_private_password' used automatically to decrypt the user private key which is stored in 'mail_attribute_dict' ?

Changes in sieve Dovecot 2.2
by Gter Marcelo 29 May '19

29 May '19

Hi People, I'm use dovecot in my mailbox system, until last month i used the dovecot version 2.0 and now i use version 2.2, version 2.2 works well for me, but i have one small problem, in sieve. In version 2.0 i had rules in sieve similiar to rule bellow: if allof (true){ keep; fileinto "INBOX"; redirect "xxxxxx"xxxxxx.com.br"; stop; } In the new version 2.2 this rules above, i have one problem duplicate messages in account from my clients, in paste INBOX, therefore, i changed rule to bellow ( with remove fileinto inbox) if allof (true){ keep; redirect "xxxxxx"xxxxxx.com.br"; stop; } Dovecot really changed your behavor, i did right to fix this ? Thanks a Lot, Marcelo

Dict issue with PostgreSQL for last_login plugin (duplicate key)
by mabi 29 May '19

29 May '19

Hello, I am trying to setup the last_login plugin on Dovecot 2.3 in order to log a user's last IMAP login into a separate PostgreSQL table called last_login. I am actually following that guide: https://docs.iredmail.org/track.user.last.login.html with the exception that I use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. So far it works at least for the very first login of a user but it looks like Dict always want to add a new record into my last_login table instead of updating the existing record for a specific user. Here is the error message from Dovecot: May 19 12:45:14-mbox1 dovecot: imap(user(a)domain.tld)<51915><if6KTzuJMZ25D+Vc>: Error: last_login_dict: Failed to write value: dict-server returned failure: sql dict: commit failed: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "last_logins_pkey" It looks like Dict with PostgreSQL does not support UPDATEing an already existing record in the table. Or am I missing something? or it does not work with PostgreSQL? Which does not make much sense to me... Regards, Mabi

imap userdb Fatal setuid errors
by Steven Smith 28 May '19

28 May '19

I’m trying to configure dovecot lmtp in multi-user mode. My error logs are filled with messages saying that an imap process cannot do a setuid to another user: > May 21 22:28:46 imap(pid 17441 user myuser): Fatal: setuid(512(myuser) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=501(adminuser): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process user set to 512(myuser) instead of 501(adminuser)) I see that others have had similar issues, but I am not able to apply any of the fixes or workarounds to solve this issue (e.g. setting libexec/dovecot/imap as setuid-root). I’ve also tried other fixes like setting the permissions to 0777 on the userdb auth for postfix smtpd. According to the code (restrict-access.c, linked below), it appears that when a user authenticates, an imap worker process is launched that has the bid of the authenticator. When another user authenticates, this last process is used, but it does not have the permissions to perform a setuid to the new user, resulting in the Fatal error that appears in the logs. Is this a bug, or a configuration issue? I’ve posted my doveconf below. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

ssl_dh

Does ssl_dh need to be manually updated each time the underlying certificate renews? -- 2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

It's probably the iPhone mail app trying to be clever and auto-configuring the settings for IMAP (and getting it wrong). To stop this behaviour, hardwire the iPhone IMAP parameters, then disable "Automatic manage connection". If you use SSL/TLS, this will also secure you from plaintext MITM attacks. Other oddities I've seen from Apple mail readers: 1) If you don't disable "Automatic manage connection", it will also hunt around for outgoing mail settings. 2) Once in a while, it initiates an idle authenticated SMTP session (i.e. authenticates, but does nothing). 3) Roofs your user IMAP connection limit when the client does global mail searches.

Unknown error message
by Jerry 26 May '19

26 May '19

dovecot 2.3.6 (7eab80676) FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p5 amd64 I have recently been finding error messages similar to the following in my Dovecot log file: May 26 06:58:32 imap(gerard(a)seibercom.net)<87791><WvXT+LyJHBCubeH6>: Error: stat(/var/mail/vmail/seibercom.net/gerard/.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory The message is correct as there is no such directory. The question is why has it suddenly started appearing? I checked my maillog file, and there are no messages being transmitted to Dovecot when that error message is created. Neither is there any mail with that ID number either. Could this be someone attempting to hack into my system? Thanks! -- Jerry

Automatically subscribe to the INBOX folder
by glts 26 May '19

26 May '19

Hello, I am using the ‘auto = subscribe’ feature in the mailbox configuration section in the usual fashion (as shown in conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf): namespace inbox { inbox = yes mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts auto = subscribe } ... } When I connect to an account with the Thunderbird mail client, those mailboxes/folders get autocreated and autosubscribed. Good! INBOX, however, does not get subscribed to automatically. When I look at the account’s subscriptions in Thunderbird, all folders are subscribed, except INBOX. How can I enable autosubscribe for the INBOX folder (like the other folders)? Is there an option for this? This is in Dovecot 2.2.22. Cheers, David
