Dovecot Version: 2.3.2.1 Hello Mailing List, We are having a random issue in a couple of our production servers, where one of the child processes randomly dies with an out of memory error (see below): Nov 26 11:58:17 config: Fatal: pool_system_malloc(8192): Out of memory Nov 26 11:58:17 pop3-login: Fatal: Error reading configuration: read(/var/run/dovecot/config) failed: EOF Nov 26 11:58:17 config: Fatal: master: service(config): child 29696 returned error 83 (Out of memory (service config { vsz_limit=2048 MB }, you may need to increase it) - set CORE_OUTOFMEM=1 environment to get core dump) We only use dovecot for internal application POP3 mail access from a mailbox, and there is under 10 connecting applications. Have have gradually increased the vsz_limit from the default of 256mb up to 2GB now. Is there anything else that should/could be changed instead of continuing to through memory at it? # dovecot -n # 2.3.2.1 (0719df592): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) # Hostname: <Internal host name here, removed> doveconf: Warning: please set ssl_dh=</etc/dovecot/dh.pem doveconf: Warning: You can generate it with: dd if=/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat bs=1 skip=88 | openssl dhparam -inform der > /etc/dovecot/dh.pem auth_cache_size = 10 M auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ default_vsz_limit = 2 G instance_name = EMX Pop Mailstore listen = <Internal ethernet Name Here, removed> log_path = /var/log/dovecot-echo.log login_greeting = Pop3 MailServer Ready. login_trusted_networks = <IP Addresses Here, removed> mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir 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 = cache_key=%u driver = pam } protocols = pop3 ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_ssl = yes Thanks, Kevin

LDAP login fails after LDAP server restart
by Dag Nygren 25 Nov '18

25 Nov '18

Hi! Just udated my Fedora dovecot to version 2.2.36 and found that after the update dovecot will fail all LDAP logins after slapd has been restarted during the logrotate. Restarting dovecot fixes the problem. Is there a bug preventing dovecot to reopen the LDAP session when it fails? Best Dag

Installing on Mojave, with Homebrew and mysql
by James Brown 25 Nov '18

25 Nov '18

I’m using Homebrew to install Dovecot on Mojave, but have to modify the formula to add ‘--with-mysql’. Unfortunately compiling always fails with: checking for mysql_config... NO checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no configure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not found I added: ENV['LD']="-L/usr/local/opt/mysql(a)5.7/lib" to the ‘def install’ section of the formula, but it still fails. config.log shows: … KRB5_LIBS='' LD='-L/usr/local/opt/mysql(a)5.7/lib/' LDAP_LIBS=‘' … And mysqlclient is here: $ locate mysqlclient /usr/local/Cellar/mysql(a)5.7/5.7.24/lib/libmysqlclient.20.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/mysql(a)5.7/5.7.24/lib/libmysqlclient.a /usr/local/Cellar/mysql(a)5.7/5.7.24/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/mysql(a)5.7/5.7.24/lib/pkgconfig/mysqlclient.pc I changed the formula to: ENV['LD']="-L/usr/local/Cellar/mysql(a)5.7/5.7.xn--24/lib/-236c And still get the same thing. Any suggestions? Thanks, James.

Is there any information on using dovecot on Mojave? I have been using Mac OS Server for a few years and looking for the preferred way to move to Mojave since dovecot and postfix admin support has been dropped by Apple.

Testing validity of Dovecot config in a script
by Ralph Seichter 24 Nov '18

24 Nov '18

While trying to determine a given configuration is valid from within a script, I found that the following works with Dovecot version 2.3.2.1: #!/usr/bin/env bash doveconf -n >/dev/null || echo "Config is invalid" However, the return code is not documented in the doveconf manual page, and I wonder if the observed behaviour can be relied on? Is this the recommended method to test configuration validity? Personally, I'd like to have a dedicated call available. Something like # Proposal: "-t" for "test config" doveconf -t [-c config-file] with documented return codes would be ideal. -Ralph

Problems after upgrading to 2.3.2.1
by Joel Dahl 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

Hi, I've just upgraded dovecot from 2.2.35 to 2.3.2.1 on my mail server and noticed something odd. My mail clients (mutt and Apple mail) both stopped seeing new mail in my mailboxes. For example, ~/Maildir/mailinglist1/new has 5 new mails. In mutt, vieweing the list of mailboxes mutt reports 0 new mail for "mailinglist1". Opening up the actual mailbox in mutt reveals the 5 new mails. Going back to the list of mailboxes, mutt now correctly reports 5 unread mails. Waiting a few hours, and about 10 new mails have arrived, but mutt still says 5 unread. This is the same for every mailbox. As a test I deleted the index files for a specific mailbox and restarted dovecot. But it didn't help. I use procmail to deliver my mail into the Maildir folders, if that matters. Any ideas? I haven't changed my dovecot configuration in a long time, except for adding ssl_dh after the upgrade. My config is below: auth_mechanisms = plain login imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep tb-lsub-flags info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes passdb { args = session=yes dovecot driver = pam } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </path/to/cert.pem ssl_dh = # hidden ssl_key = # hidden userdb { driver = passwd } -- Joel

doveadm dsync-server doesn't use user parameter?
by Harald Leithner 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

Hi, I tried to migrate my dovecot 2.2 to a new server with a other storage configuration and dovecot 2.3. New (and old) Server uses mysql for user information I use the following storage settings mail_home = /storage1/vmail/%{userdb:path} mail_location = mdbox:/storage1/fast/%{userdb:path}:FULLDIRNAME=iTrNiCs-DBOx-mAiLs:INDEX=/storage1/indexes/vmail/%{userdb:path}:ALT=/storage1/slow/%{userdb:path}:VOLATILEDIR=/tmp/%{userdb:path} userdb:path is generated by the mysql query and ends in something like "2000/6" SQL: CONCAT(u.idAccount, '/', u.idUser) AS userdb_path If I login with imap dovecot is creating the INBOX on the correct path /storage1/fast/2000/6/mailboxes/INBOX btw. it creates a link to dbox-alt-root but without creating the target directory is this expected? Now if I start doveadm backup -u <username> remote:mailstore2 it ignores it seams that dsync-server doesn't make a database query and doesn't use the userdb_path field. It only uses /storage1/fast/mailboxes/INBOX as path. Is this a problem with my configuration? thx --- doveconf -n # 2.3.3 (dcead646b): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.3 (f018bbab) # OS: Linux 4.15.18-7-pve x86_64 Debian 9.6 zfs # Hostname: mailstore2 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 1 secs auth_cache_size = 10 M auth_cache_ttl = 1 secs auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = PLAIN LOGIN APOP auth_verbose = yes default_client_limit = 600 default_vsz_limit = 512 M dict { lastlogin = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext sqlacl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 1001 first_valid_uid = 1001 hostname = mailstore2 imap_hibernate_timeout = 1 mins imap_id_log = * imap_id_send = * imap_idle_notify_interval = 10 mins imap_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o instance_name = mailstore2 last_valid_gid = 1001 last_valid_uid = 1001 lda_original_recipient_header = X-LDA-Original-To lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes login_greeting = ITronic Mail Store login_trusted_networks = 172.22.14.0/24 mail_cache_min_mail_count = 5 mail_gid = vmail mail_home = /storage1/vmail/%{userdb:path} mail_location = mdbox:/storage1/fast/%{userdb:path}:FULLDIRNAME=iTrNiCs-DBOx-mAiLs:INDEX=/storage1/indexes/vmail/%{userdb:path}:ALT=/storage1/slow/%{userdb:path}:VOLATILEDIR=/tmp/%{userdb:path} mail_plugins = lazy_expunge acl quota mail_log notify mail_prefetch_count = 100 mail_server_admin = mailto:postmaster@example.com mail_server_comment = Mail System mail_shared_explicit_inbox = yes mail_uid = vmail 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 vacation-seconds mdbox_preallocate_space = yes namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = mdbox:/storage1/fast/%{userdb:path}:MAILBOXDIR=expunged:LISTINDEX=expunged.list.index:FULLDIRNAME=iTrNiCs-DBOx-mAiLs:INDEX=/storage1/indexes/vmail/%{userdb:path}:ALT=/storage1/slow/%{userdb:path}:VOLATILEDIR=/tmp/%{userdb:path} prefix = "#EXPUNGED/" subscriptions = no type = private } namespace { list = children location = mdbox:%%h/mdbox prefix = "#Users/%%u/" separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { hidden = no inbox = yes location = mailbox Archvie { special_use = \Archive } mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes result_success = continue-ok } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::sqlacl last_login_dict = proxy::lastlogin last_login_key = #

Re: LDAP stored quota
by Aki Tuomi 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

I noticed that you sent replies to me directly... Anyways, seems the problem was that the LDAP user_attrs is missing commas, and the mailRoutingAddress is used wrong, so the correct syntax would be: user_attrs = \ mailRoutingAddress=user, \ =uid=vmail, \ =gid=mail, \ =home=/var/mail/%d/%n, \ =quota_rule=*:bytes=%{ldap:departmentNumber} Aki > On 22 November 2018 at 15:29 Vincent Seynhaeve <vlamsdoem(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > doveadm quota recalc -u test doesn't give anything. > Bellow the ouput of the `doveconf -n` and `doveadm user test` > > doveconf -n > # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > # OS: Linux 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 > (Core) xfs > auth_debug = yes > auth_mechanisms = plain login > auth_verbose = yes > mail_debug = yes > mail_gid = mail > mail_home = /var/mail/%d/%n > mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir > mail_plugins = " quota" > mail_uid = vmail > 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 > mbox_write_locks = fcntl > 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-ldap.conf.ext > driver = ldap > } > plugin { > quota = maildir:User quota > quota_grace = 10%% > quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M > quota_status_nouser = DUNNO > quota_status_overquota = 552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full > quota_status_success = DUNNO > sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve > sieve_dir = ~/sieve > } > protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve > service auth { > unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { > group = postfix > mode = 0666 > user = postfix > } > unix_listener auth-userdb { > group = mail > mode = 0600 > user = vmail > } > } > service imap-login { > inet_listener imap { > port = 0 > } > } > service managesieve-login { > inet_listener sieve { > port = 4190 > } > } > service pop3-login { > inet_listener pop3 { > port = 0 > } > inet_listener pop3s { > port = 0 > } > } > ssl = required > ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/imap.example.com.crt > ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/imap.example.com.key > userdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext > driver = ldap > } > protocol lda { > mail_plugins = " quota sieve" > } > protocol imap { > mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota" > } > > > > > doveadm user test > field value > uid vmail > gid mail > home /var/mail//test > mail maildir:/var/mail//test/Maildir > mailRoutingAddress user =uid=vmail =gid=mail =home=/var/mail//test > =quota_rule=*:bytes=1M > > > Le jeu. 22 nov. 2018 à 14:18, Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi(a)open-xchange.com> a > écrit : > > > Can you provide output of `doveconf -n` and `doveadm user test`?

Same emails appearing multiple time after upgrade to version 2.33

Hi, I have update today dovecot and dovecot pigeonhole to the latest version available on my centos 7. It’s a small email servers with postfix/amavisd/clamav/spamasssin. I had dovecot for IMAP/POP3 with spam plugins to store spam message automatically into the spam folder. After the upgrade, I was noticed by some of my users that they have in their message the same message appearing 2,3 even 10 times. I had the same behavior when using roundecube I was able to stop this after removing pigeonhole rpm (removing/disabling the config was not enough). Would appreciate your help to understand what is wrong with my config.

Multi-server but small scale
by Daniel Miller 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

I have a small but critical server that supports our group. As a single server - it's obviously a single-point-of-failure for lots of things. As I just experienced...again. It was a lot more fun building systems from components when I was younger... Previously 3rd-party hosted solutions didn't look attractive for several reasons...but I'm seeing prices now for cloud virtual machines that are stupid cheap. Even if they wind up being limited speed & availability - it would seem they'd be a lot better than nothing! So I'm considering having at least one backup server for various services - obviously that includes mail. So now I have to wonder about the backend. And while I think I'm reasonably current with networked file systems (not distributed or cluster) I haven't played with replication for a quite a while. For this particular usage (I'm envisioning two servers total) - is there a need/reason to use any form of networked/distributed/cluster file storage? Or would this be accomplished via "pure" Dovecot - dsync replication would keep things updated between the servers and director would handle the connections? So with identically configured SMTP servers, passing to the local LMTP agents, the file system would be "purely local" with no NFS or other interconnection? -- Daniel

analysing of dmarc report
by Poliman - Serwis 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

I have a problem with understanding dmarc reports and some features. I attach two reports. First one come from google.com, second one from tumieszkamy.pl. On my server is dns zone of domain kamir-transport.pl but whole mail service is deployed on Google - in dns zone MX points to Google and there are all mailboxes, aliases etc. Last time I have configured dkim and dmarc policies and I got two reports. Honestly I don't know why two, from two different providers - google.com and tumieszkamy.pl. Moreover in report originating from google I see IP of my server [which fails spf and dkim policies] and I don't understand why this IP is evaluated? Second thing which I don't understand is second report which I got from tumieszkamy.pl. SPF record in dns zone of domain kamir-transport.pl was looking like below (now I changed it to slightly different): *v=spf1 mx include:_spf.google.com <http://spf.google.com> -all* Does anybody could help uderstand these things? -- *Pozdrawiam / Best Regards* *Piotr Bracha*

Quota in MySql Dict not recalculate automatic
by SUnsin＠gv-bayern.de 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi, I have a working Installation with: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Dovecot 2.2.22 MySql 5.7.24 Postfixadmin 3.2 Apache 2.4.18 Rainloop 1.12.1 I manage the E-Mail Accounts with postfixadmin in a MySql-DB. Also I use quotas with Quota Backend postfixadmin-DB (dict). Everything works fine. Now I installed a new Server with the following Versions and migrate the Configs to the new System. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Doveot 2.2.33 MySQL 5.7.24 Postfixadmin 3.2 Apache 2.4.18 Rainloop 1.12.1 The Problem is now: When I receive a E-Mail, the quota will not Update (recalculate) automatical in the MySql-DB from Dovecot. In the old System there execute the SQL Statement after receiving a E-Mail, for example: UPDATE quota2 SET bytes=bytes+3076,messages=messages+1 WHERE username = <E-Mail Address> On the new System with the newer Dovecot Version, the Statement never comes after receive an E-Mail. With Dovecot Version 2.3 on the old System with Ubuntu 16.04, everything works fine with the same config. Is a BUG in the Dovecot Version 2.2.33 possible? Can everbody help me?

Update virtual folders via doveadm?
by Daniel Miller 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

I'm trying to have my server maintain it's FTS indexes reasonably current at all times. From prior threads, and based on my namespace configuration, I have the following hourly cronjob: doveadm index -A -q '*' doveadm index -A -q 'shared/*' doveadm index -A -q 'virtual/*' This seems to work just fine to maintain the FTS (Solr). However - as I understand it Dovecot's virtual folders are not updated with new mails until they are accessed by a client. Therefore the above command sequence would work fine for my default namespace and the shared - but the virtual namespace won't actually be current. So... Would a command such as: doveadm mailbox status -A messages virtual/* Be appropriate to run prior to the virtual/* FTS indexing? -- Daniel

IMAP Limitations with Outlook 2013?
by Robert Adkins 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Good Day! I have a fairly new user on my network that has, over about 10 months, created in root inbox and nested sub-folders totaling over 900 individual folders. In the past few weeks, newly created folders will be visible in Outlook 2013, but when an email is moved into that folder, it is no longer visible. I can ssh into the server, drill down to that sub-folder and see the email in the folder AND it is also available to be seen without issue in Thunderbird. I know this is a longshot, but if there is some feature that I haven't found in Dovecot to force Outlook to synchronize with all the folders/sub-folders, please let me know. Beyond that. With this particular users habits, over the next 5 years, there could be nearly 10,000 folders/sub-folders. Does anyone know if this will create any problems with Dovecot or is this JUST a Microsoft software problem? -- Best Regards, Robert Adkins IT Manager/Tool Designer Impel Industries, Inc. 586-254-5800

macOS Mojave: setgroups(501) failed: Too many extra groups
by Heiko W. Rupp 18 Nov '18

18 Nov '18

Hello, I have recently upgraded to macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and am running into an issue where one use can no longer log into dovecot via imap. Log shows Oct 11 08:10:27 imap(hwr)<12659><YpC/0+133+EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>: Fatal: setgroups(501) failed: Too many extra groups and indeed, the user is in 17 groups, which is more than NGROUPS_MAX (16). Another user with << 16 groups can log in fine. Unfortunately it is not (easily) doable to reduce the number of groups, as macOS seems to set them internally. Is there a config option that I am missing to work around this? Looking at the source, I see this is handled in src/lib/restrict-access.c::fix_groups_list(), where above the call to setgroups() a gid_list2 is constructed. I wonder if one could have a config option to prevent adding all those extra groups, which then make the call to setgroups() fail Any help appreciated Heiko -- hwr(a)pilhuhn.de m:0179/207 4919 b:http://pilhuhn.blogspot.com

Re: Issue sharing folders with Thunderbird

Hi Aki I see what you are saying, and no I don’t believe so. I’m using typical /etc/passwd for the user db. I reviewed https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields <https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields> but I’m not clear on how to actually return system_user userdb attribute. I also have set mail_user_groups = sharedusers in dovecot.conf and then in /etc/group put all the users with mailboxes into the sharedusers group. I can see why that wouldn’t work if the above is not set. Can you point me in the right direction on how to pass that information?

Mail slowed down to a crawl...
by StarionTech (IMAP) 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Been moving along just fine for a couple years now, then in the last two days, email has slowed to a crawl. Retrieving email via IMAP is very slow, progress bar in the mail client shows that it is downloading messages almost constantly, like it never closes the connection, or it’s getting the messages very slowly. The server that dovecot/postfix is on has also bogged down to a crawl. The postfix queue is sitting with hundreds of queued up good customer email. It’s almost acting like dovecot is not getting the messages from postfix, or they’re being delayed for some reason. How to approach fixing this? Jeff J.

huge increase in storage activity afther dovecot upgrade

Hi, we upgraded our servers from version 2.2.13 to 2.2.27. After the upgrade we notice a 10x increase in traffic with the nfs storage an errors like this in the logfile: Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: Corrupted index cache file /.../dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: unlink(/.../dovecot.index.cache) failed: No such file or directory (in mail-cache.c:29) Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: Corrupted index cache file /.../dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: Broken file /.../dovecot-uidlist line 8: Invalid data: Is this normal ?

dovecot 2.2/openssl 1.0 vs dovecot 2.3/openssl 1.1.1 ssl regression
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

Hi. I'm considering dovecot migration from 2.2.36 run with openssl 1.0.2o to dovecot 2.3.3 run with openssl 1.1.1. Currently I have both variants running with identical configs and certs (the only differences are due to config syntax changes in dovecot 2.3), so for example on both I have: ssl_ca = </etc/openssl/certs/wildcard_ca.pem (this file contains single intermediate certificate of my CA) ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/wildcard_crt.pem (this contains single cerificate for my *.example.com domain) ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it (and one key) No alt certs in use. Chain is: - CA trusted by clients (this certificate isn't provided by my dovecot, it's not needed) - wildcard_ca.pem - intermediate CA - wildcard_crt.pem - wildcard certificate for my *.example.com domain dovecot 2.2.36 behaviour is to provide wildcard_ca.pem and wildcard_crt.pem to the client - that behaviour is OK. Client has full trust chain. dovecot 2.3.3 provides only wildcard_crt.pem certificate to the client which is a big problem because missing wildcard_ca.pem (intermediate certificate) breaks chain and client is not able to verify trust chain. Testing is done with simple: openssl s_client -connect my.example.com:143 -starttls imap -servername my.example.com -showcerts 2.3.x announcements and upgrade wiki mention no such behaviour change, so I assume it is a regression. Now doing cat wildcard_ca.pem >> wildcard_crt.pem solves the problem and dovecot starts providing both certs to clients but if that's the proper way of solving this issue then what's the point of having ssl_ca config setting? Ideas? -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

FETCH BODY vs FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE + FETCH BODY.PEEK
by Alessio Cecchi 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

Hello, we are developing a web page, for a ticket system, to show the email messages ordered by the biggest attachments size present in an IMAP folder, with a pagination of 100 messages per page. Each raw represents a message with "DATE, FROM, SUBJECT, the preview (the first 500 chars of the text/html of the messsage) and the list of the attachments (name + size) it contains. The problem is that the page load is VERY slow because we fetch the entire BODY of all 100 messages, in order to get the preview and the attachments name and size. Now, considering that each messages can contain up to 50 MB of attachments, we risk to download 5000MB from IMAP for every page. An option might be to perform two FETCH for each message: - one fetch with just the BODYSTRUCTURE (where we can get the attachments name and size and the text/html parts). - one fetch with the body parts (BODY.PEEK[]) we need to build the preview (text + html). We are wondering if there is a single FETCH command to get the text and html parts (needed to build the preview) with only the name and the size of the attachments without downloading the entire message. Thanks. -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Dovecot proxy: per user/domain 'namespace/inbox/prefix' from MySQL
by Adi Pircalabu 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

As a way to try and avoid using "prefix = INBOX." ad infinitum for the inbox namespace, I'm looking for ways to move on to "prefix =" for new mail accounts, and grandfather the existing ones. Previously running Courier-IMAP, now Dovecot, I looked at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces#Backwards_Compatibility:_Courier_IMAP and decided it's too risky to go down that path and use namespace compat, with so many IMAP clients out there the scope of testing is huge and the outcome is uncertain and not worth it. After reading https://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces#Per-user_Namespace_Location_From_SQL I thought I might be able to overwrite the server configuration per user returning 'namespace/inbox/prefix' value from SQL. Here's the setup I attempted, briefly: 1. Client connects to the Dovecot proxy, which authenticates the user and proxies to the backend using a query like this in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = mysql connect = <connection_string> password_query = SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = '%u' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 Works a treat. 2. Next, I'm trying to add the prefix lookup in the picture. In the same file I've added: user_query = SELECT ns_inbox_prefix AS 'namespace/inbox/prefix' FROM mailbox WHERE email = '%u' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 3. The mailbox table schema reads: CREATE TABLE `mailbox` ( `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `password` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `clear_password` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `host` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL, `port` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL, `ns_inbox_prefix` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `lastlog_remote_ips` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `curlog_remote_ips` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `disabled_smtpauth` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `last_modified` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp() ON UPDATE current_timestamp(), PRIMARY KEY (`id`), UNIQUE KEY `email` (`email`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; The 2 queries above return: MariaDB [postfix]> SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0; +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ | password | nopassword | host | starttls | proxy | +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ | NULL | Y | 192.168.123.24 | any-cert | Y | +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) MariaDB [postfix]> SELECT ns_inbox_prefix AS 'namespace/inbox/prefix' FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0; +------------------------+ | namespace/inbox/prefix | +------------------------+ | | +------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) After reloading dovecot service with auth_debug = yes are the maillog for an IMAP session: Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=7527) Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011session=AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB#011lip=::1#011rip=::1#011lport=1143#011rport=47222#011resp=<hidden> Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: sql(adi2@0aditest.local,::1,<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): cache miss Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: sql(adi2@0aditest.local,::1,<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): query: SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0111#011user=adi2@0aditest.local#011host=192.168.123.24#011starttls=any-cert#011proxy#011pass=<hidden> Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(adi2(a)0aditest.local): started proxying to 192.168.123.24:143: user=<adi2(a)0aditest.local>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Looks like user_query isn't executed, why?

execute sieve command - fails to notice script has exited
by Lionel Elie Mamane 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi, Running dovecot 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) on Debian GNU/Linux stable (version 9.6), I'm trying to use the execute command in a sieve script, with direct execution (not service socket). The script is executed, and returns (the process exits), but the dovecot-lda process seems to not notice, and thinks the script did not terminate. After sieve_execute_exec_timeout has passed, it sends a TERM, a bit later a KILL and then logs a failure. The "ps -Af f" looks like: S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/exim4 -Mc 1gMazS-0007IV-RB S 0:00 \_ /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f master(a)blitz.conuropsis.org Z 0:00 | \_ [foofilter] <defunct> S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/exim4 -Mc 1gMazS-0007IV-RB The dovecot debug log looks like: lda(user): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules lda(user): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib90_sieve_plugin.so lda(user): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/user lda(user): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/user/Maildir, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/home/user/Maildir, alt= lda(user): Debug: userdb lookup skipped, username taken from USER environment lda(user): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= lda(user): Debug: Destination address: user(a)blitz.conuropsis.org (source: user@hostname) lda(user): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) initializing lda(user): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global is not set; it is currently not possible to include `:global' scripts. lda(user): Debug: sieve: Sieve imapsieve plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) loaded lda(user): Debug: sieve: Sieve Extprograms plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) loaded lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Using active Sieve script path: /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Using script storage path: /home/user/sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Relative path to sieve storage in active link: sieve/ lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Using Sieve script path: /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: file script: Opened script `test-foofilter' from `/data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve' lda(user): Debug: sieve: Using the following location for user's Sieve script: /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: Mailbox stdin: Opened mail UID=1 because: header Message-ID (Cache file is unusable) lda(user): Debug: sieve: Opening script 1 of 1 from `/data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve' lda(user): Debug: sieve: Loading script /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: Script binary /data/home/user/.dovecot.svbin successfully loaded lda(user): Debug: sieve: binary save: not saving binary /data/home/user/.dovecot.svbin, because it is already stored lda(user): Debug: sieve: Executing script from `/data/home/user/.dovecot.svbin' lda(user): Debug: sieve: action execute: running program: foofilter lda(user): Debug: Mailbox stdin: Opened mail UID=1 because: mail stream lda(user): Debug: waiting for program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-execute/foofilter' to finish after 0 msecs lda(user): Debug: program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-execute/foofilter'(24669) execution timed out after 2000 milliseconds: sending TERM signal lda(user): Debug: program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-execute/foofilter' (24669) did not die after 5000 milliseconds: sending KILL signal and an strace on the dovecot-lda process shows it is in an "epoll_wait(9 ....".

Proxy + 2x static passdb not working as expected
by Michael Goth 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a Dovecot proxy that authenticates the user against two backend servers. If login server1 fails, server2 should be tried. The problem: Only the first server seems to be tried, even if the login fails. Config snippet: protocol imap { passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y nopassword=y host=oldserver1.example.com port=993 ssl=y } passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y nopassword=y host=oldserver2.example.com port=993 ssl=y } } With this config, only accounts on oldserver1.example.com can login. If I reverse the two passdb entries, only accounts on oldserver2.example.com can login. I've done the same with SQL passdb first + static passdb second. That worked as expected. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Attached is the output of doveconf -n Thanks Michael Mit freundlichen Grüßen -- Michael Goth .webflow GmbH Geschäftsführer: Andreas Schrei Wasserburger Straße 4 D - 83352 Altenmarkt a. d.

dsync / doveadm sync problem
by admin＠awib.it 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi, I had an old dovecot server with a working backup script. Basic concept was: - to dsync to a temp folder - using tar to preserve datetime - piping this 7z to benefit from my 16 core cpu - piping this through openssl to encrypt Over time the size of all my mail grew from 3GB to about 70GB. I used to keep the last 14 backups, but this uses a lot of space. I now want to dsync my Maildir onto my NAS via NFS and use the backup tool provided by Synology to have incremental compressed backup. However I cannot get dsync to run. root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': stat(/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=1001(vmail) egid=1001(vmail) missing +x perm: /mnt/backup_mail, UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?)) root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': stat(/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=1001(vmail) egid=1001(vmail) missing +x perm: /mnt/backup_mail, dir owner missing perms) ——— Error message changed after removing „-f“. I then applied the folder permissions (chmod +x backup_mail/) and I get a different error: root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: namespace configuration error: All list=yes namespaces must use the same separator I found something about the namespace issue, but did not quite understand I guess. (separators seem to differ) From doveconf -n: [...] namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/vmail/mailboxes/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 30 days special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 183 days special_use = \Trash } prefix = } […] ——— However I only set up the namespace for inbox. root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# doveconf namespace gives namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/var/vmail/mailboxes/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u order = 0 prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 60 days autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 60 days autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Trash } order = 0 prefix = separator = subscriptions = yes type = private } I guess here we see the config including defaults. Well… I think I only need the inbox namespace either way, so I tried: root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail/ -n inbox dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: read(remote) failed: EOF (version not received) doveadm(USER@DOMAIN): Fatal: execvp(maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail/) failed: No such file or directory dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: Remote command process isn't dying, killing it dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: kill(15306, SIGKILL) failed: Operation not permitted The folder (mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) however does exist. Can anybody tell me if there is something I miss? Thanks in advance! -M

I lost the whole maildir from my server fro 3 users. They all have iPhones with all the messages safely stored on the Apple Mail app on their phone. There is no way to export them/move them. Is there a way to get Dovecot to just download all the messages and folder structure from the client and restore it on the server? Your help is very very much appreciated. Thanks, ttyllc

Is there a way to get Dovecot to just download all the messages and folder structure from the client and restore it on the server? Your help is very very much appreciated. Thanks, ttyllc

Seen-Flag and Virtual
by Dieter Knopf 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Hello, We have a very large folder structure (in a public namespace) on our Dovecot server and would now like to create a virtual folder containing all mails of the publick namespace. This worked quite well with dovecot-virtual, but the read status (\seen) is not preserved. i.e. when I read a mail inside the virtual folder, the read status does not affect the original mail. Dovecut was configured with per-user \seen-flag. Is it possible to synchronize the \seen-flag somehow? Thanks Dieter

moving only new mails from one server to another
by Nicolas 12 Nov '18

12 Nov '18

Hello, I think it is not really the right place to post about that, but lot of dovecot experts there ;) Basically, I have a server with dovecot 2.2.9 that has new (unread) mails (because of a bad DNS config at a migration time). Is there an easy way to move only these unread mails to a another server ? (no perms trouble here : all vmail:vmail) Though to iterate through all /var/vmail/*/*/Maildir/new and scp/rsync them. Would that work ? Thanks in advance for your time. Nicolas

Dovecot mail-crypt plugin
by Anushka Uditha Bandara 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

I configured an email solution using dovecot and postfix and it is working fine. Now I am working for mail encryption. Is it enough to set below configurations on dovecot for mail encryption. Because dovecot wiki is little bit confusing to me. "mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes plugin { mail_crypt_curve = <some curve you like> mail_crypt_save_version = 2 }" I am stuck in here. Thank you in advance, Anushka Bandara

LMTP with many aliases and replication
by Sean Greenslade 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Hi, all. I'm currently in the process of rethinking / tinkering with my personal mail server. I've hit a few stumbling blocks that make me think I may be approaching this problem from the wrong angle. I have a large number of email addresses across several domains that all alias to the same inbox. In my current setup, postfix handles the aliases and dumps them all into a single "receiving" maildir, which gets processed by a custom python script to sort into one of several destination maildirs handled by dovecot. In evaluating this system, I'd like to move to using sieve for this sorting step, so (according to the docs) I need to use LMTP. This is my first stumble. Since I use so many aliases, my IMAP login username is not my email address. In fact, I have several IMAP usernames with different passwords pointing to the same maildir so that my phone can use a different password than my PC. The dovecot documentation was not very clear on how to make LMTP use a different userdb. I eventually found through some trial and error and some hints from other list threads that I could wrap a second userdb {} section with a protocol lmtp {} section, which seems to do the trick. I'd like to edit the wiki to include this helpful tidbit, but I find it odd that this isn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation for LMTP. Is it actually an intended feature? My second stumble is with the replicator plugin. I'd like to run two identical dovecot servers that replicate their mailboxes across each other. Since there are a large number of alias "accounts" that all feed into one IMAP account, the logical place to put the replication would be the IMAP account. But the way the replicator plugin seems to work, the trigger for synchronous replication on mail receipt fires on the LMTP "account" that received that particular message. Is there any way within dovecot to specify a different replication account to be triggered for sync? Like a userdb extra field or something? I'm trying to avoid needing external scripts if at all possible. I'm interested to hear people's thought / suggestions, especially if anyone has a better way of architecting this system. In case it's relevant, I'm running Arch Linux / Dovecot 2.3.3. Thanks, --Sean

dovecot: imap Error: read : Broken pipe
by Carl St-Laurent 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find a solution for this bug who appears 2 months ago : dovecot: imap(%USER%): Error: read(<binary stream of mailbox INBOX UID (%d)>) failed: Broken pipe (FETCH BINARY[2] for mailbox INBOX UID (%d) Where %USER% is the unix user and %d the UID of the mailbox. This error appears each time a user tries to download an attachment from one of his emails. Whether with RoundCube or Thunderbird via VPN or not. I thought that it was related to my firewall but no. Furthermore the problem isn't present when users are at the office. Upload speed from our ADSL connection is pretty slow about 1mpbs, I thought maybe it was related but it was working fine since 2 years. So I'm really short of ideas. Anyone could help me please ?

imap authentication - shadow vs mysql
by Konra Wawryn 05 Nov '18

05 Nov '18

Hi, I`m looking for some opinions about authentication process for the systems with more than 1000 E-mail accounts. Maybe some one could advise me what is the best authentication method. At the moment I`m storing all passwords in my /etc/passwd. My IMAP server is growing and I`m planning to build new host, my question is: what is the best authentication model for IMAP server ? Do I need to store all user/passwords in mysql or maybe in LDAP ? I`m searching for some solution which will help me to scale my system in the future. Maybe some one could advice me ? Greetings Konrad

OCSP Stapling and Certificate Transparency
by Felipe Gasper 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Hi, For CAs that do not include a signed certificate timestamp in their newly-issued certificates, does Dovecot support either OCSP stapling or the Certificate Transparency TLS extension? If the TLS extension is supported, how does the admin configure the timestamp for each certificate? I’m wondering if any MUAs will follow Google’s lead and insist on CT. Thank you! -Felipe Gasper Mississauga, Ontario

Copying from a previous Dovecot server
by Peter Lindgren 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Hello! I have installed a new dovecot server on a new server, using imap and Maildir. The old Maildirs are accessible on a mounted disk. I have tried to copy a few folders manually, by first creating the folder on the new server through the a-mail client, and then copying the contents of the cur folder from the old to the new. Works fine, but is a manual process. I'm looking for a way to script this. Is it safe to copy a template folder to a new folder, and then copy the cur folder contents? The files that Dovecot creates in an empty folder have different contents, will Dovecot update them when the user retrieves the mails in that folder? Or, can I just make a symlink to the old Maildir somewhere? Peter -- Peter Lindgren peter(a)norrskenkonsult.com 0703-393940

Hello, I'm using using: - dovecot 2.3.3 (dcead646b) - postfix 3.3.1 - dovecot "quota = maildir:User quota" I'm facing the error: "quota-status: Error: quota-status: Client sent invalid recipient address: Invalid character in path" This occurred with this e-mail address: "John Smith"@keit.eu Well I know it is not a conventional address but it is normally perfectly authorized. When I disable quota check, I can received correctly the incoming e-mail. So is there a mean to enable quota check with this kind of e-mail address ? Thanks

Dovecot submission announces CHUNKING but backend Postfix does not support it
by Michael Goth 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hello, I'm setting up Dovecot 2.3.2.1 as a submission proxy to a Postfix backend server. Dovecot announces CHUNKING, but the Postfix backend does not support (or announce) it. HELO from Postfix: 220 backend.mydomain.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu) ehlo test 250-backend.mydomain.com 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 104857600 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-8BITMIME 250 DSN HELO from Dovecot proxy: 220 proxy.mydomain.com Dovecot ready. ehlo test 250-proxy.mydomain.com 250-8BITMIME 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-BURL imap 250-CHUNKING 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-SIZE 250-STARTTLS 250 PIPELINING When a client sends BDAT, Postfix closes the connection. Here's a log snippet from Postfix: < MAIL FROM:<user(a)mydomain.com> > 250 2.1.0 Ok < RCPT TO:<some(a)recipient.com> > 250 2.1.5 Ok < BDAT 114098 LAST > 502 5.5.2 Error: command not recognized < Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=Apple-Mail-55D35F74-2EB7-4B3B-A607-E421DD71C07A > 221 2.7.0 Error: I can break rules, too. Goodbye. Apple Mail seems to ignore the fact that Postfix does not understand BDAT and Postfix does not like that :-) From a quick glance at the code it seems CHUNKING is always added to the capabilities and that's not configurable. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Michael

Request: option to hide user IP/HELO content from mail sent via submissiond
by Lee Maguire 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

For reasons of user privacy and security I usually configure submission servers to not include accurate IP address and HELO information of authenticated users. (Usually replacing it with a private-use domain / IPv6 address.) Dovecot submission (2.3.2) will produce a header something like this (where “10.22.36.10" is a public IP address) Received: from [192.168.1.184] ([10.22.36.10]) by x.example.com with ESMTPSA id xY/yDFD9yVtsFwAARu9lhg (envelope-from <test(a)example.com>) for <test(a)example.net>; Fri, 19 Oct 2018 18:50:40 +0100 It would be good if a local administrator could override the trace “from” content with syntactically valid, but privacy respecting, content. e.g. Received: from submission.local ([fdf7:c4e4:1c1e::10]) by x.example.com with ESMTPSA id xY/yDFD9yVtsFwAARu9lhg (envelope-from <test(a)example.com>) for <test(a)example.net>; Fri, 19 Oct 2018 18:50:40 +0100 RFC 5321 specifies that the “from” MUST exist but only specifies that the content SHOULD be the source host. (Assuming that Submission is “an SMTP environment”. RFC 6409 makes some provision for header rewriting to hide machine names. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6409#section-8.8 ) https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-4.4 The FROM clause, which MUST be supplied in an SMTP environment, SHOULD contain both (1) the name of the source host as presented in the EHLO command and (2) an address literal containing the IP address of the source, determined from the TCP connection.

Problem with cached userdb info

clients out of sync after restoring backup
by Frank-Ulrich Sommer 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hi, due to a failing disk I had to restore everything from a backup including dovecot (2.2.22) and the Maildir containing the stored mails. A period of some days must later be restored manuall, but that is beyond scope for this question. Naturally this causes confusion for the clients as they keep mails that are no longer on the server. That was expected but what puzzles me is that mails arriving after the succesful restore are only sporadically detected by some clients (e.g. K9 and Thunderbird) that were connected before the crash. A client that was connected for the first time after restoring from the backup works exactly as expected. Might this situation lead to reusing UUIDs that some clients still remember as belonging to a different mail? Is there a clean solution for this on the server side or is it necessary to purge locally stored data by the clients (e.g. by temporarily removing account)?

Read the quota_exceeded_message from a file
by Maysara A. Abdulhaq 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Greetings, I've been trying to have quota_exceeded_message read from a file according to https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration#Custom_Quota_Exceeded_Message ; I'm running dovecot 2.2.10 on Centos 7. If I set text right to the equal sign, it works fine, but I'd rather load it from a file as I need a new line and %n and \n and simple \ followed by a newline are not working and would understandably crash the processes if malformed. nothing special about my setting, the file is located in the /etc/dovecot directory but separate from the config files (not in the conf.d directory), with a world readable permission. Regards, M.

maildirlock time unit?
by Kris von Mach 27 Oct '18

27 Oct '18

What is the time unit maildirlock will accept? I've tried 20s, 20 sec, 20 secs, 20 seconds, all results in: Fatal: Invalid timeout value: 20s And if you don't specify time unit you just get: Panic: BUG: No IOs or timeouts set. Not waiting for infinity. This is on 2.3.3. 2.2 worked fine without needing time unit specified.

Submission and CHUNKING
by Paul Hecker 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

Hi, It seems that there is an issue with the submission service when the SMTP server advertises chunking (I use Exim v4.91). I tried this with Dovecot v2.3.3 and current master and could reproduce it with both versions. My setup is that dovecot submission proxies to Exim on port 10025. The first mail gets through without any issues, but the second email will not get send. I had this issue at first with Apple Mail (it just sends a QUIT and shows an error) and could reproduce it with the OpenDMARC report perl script. You can find a little Perl script attached to reproduce it. It seems to me that Dovecot sends an (unexpected or mixed up) second answer to the client. If I add a “$smtp->getline();” (line 110) sending multiple emails works again. Another workaround is to disable CHUNKING in Exim (in this case only on the “proxy port”): chunking_advertise_hosts = ${if eq{$received_port}{10025}{}{*}} Thanks, Paul

[sieve] Restrict redirects to only own domain
by Yassine Chaouche 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

Hello list, I'd like to let my colleagues redirect mail automatically (via a sieve filter) to other mailboxes within the same domain, but deny redirects to outside mailboxes (gmail, yahoo etc.) since this is considered bad practice and could lead to blacklisting (forwarding spam for example). If I set sieve_max_redirect to 0 then no redirect is allowed, at all. I wish to let redirects to internal mailboxes still possible. Ideas ? Yassine.

Shared mailboxes - Can't open mailbox shared-boxes/user/name.lastname: Character not allowed in mailbox name: '.'

Hi, I am trying to make shared folders work on my server (Ubuntu 18.04, Dovecot 1:2.2.33.2-1ubuntu4.1).

Exclude userdb from iterate users
by Ángel L. Mateo 25 Oct '18

Hi, I have a system with various userdbs defined, mostly all of them based on ldap (and a few passwd-files). I want one of my ldap userdbs not to be used in "doveadm user -A" commands, that is to be excluded in iterate searchs. I have no iterate_filter neither iterate_attrs configured in that userdb, but it is still used. Is it possible? How? -- Angel L.

doveadm backup: Error: Both source and destination mail_location points to same directory
by Martin Johannes Dauser 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Hello! I'm using 2 namespaces, "inbox" for INBOX and it's subfolders and "special" containing folders like Sent, Junk or Drafts. Though both use mdbox I decided to represent those namespaces in different locations "mdbox:~/mail" and "mdbox:~/mail_special_folders". The main reason to use 2 namespaces was to keep special_use folders out of INBOX by using the prefix attribute -- it's rather cosmetic. ├── INBOX │ ├── SubFolder1 │ ├── SubFolder2 │ └── SubFolder3 ├── Sent ├── Trash ├── Drafts ├── Junk ├── Templates ├── This is Ham └── Report Spam Now I want to export the emails of some former users to common known maildir or mbox format to be able to hand them over on CD. The problem is that a conversion with doveadm backup fails. I guess this is due to namespace special which is configured with a manual location attribute instead of utilising mail_location. But even telling doveadm to backup only one namespace leads to the identical error (extract of debug message at bottom). As this is a RHEL7 server, the dovecot version is an old 2.2.10 and I don't expect software debugging -- I just ask if I did some misconfiguration or a failure in the command.

Bug: 'noreplicate' database extra field ingnored
by Phil 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

The 'noreplicate' user database field described in the wiki appears to make no difference as to whether an account gets replicated or not. My sql user query returns a 'noreplicate' field and I can confirm that this is getting set using 'doveadm user', however when I add a new account with noreplicate=true it gets replicated regardless. User query: user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid, noreplicate FROM mail_accounts WHERE address = '%u' # doveadm user user1(a)mydomain.com field value uid 1000 gid 1000 home /mail/domains/mydomain.com/user1/Maildir mail maildir:/mail/domains/mydomain.com/user1/Maildir noreplicate t # 2.3.3 (dcead646b): /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.3 (f018bbab) # OS: FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p4 amd64 # Hostname: mx doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it doveadm_port = 2727 imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep listen = * mail_location = maildir:%h 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 { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { mail_replica = tcps:mail2.<mydomain>.com } protocols = imap lmtp submission replication_full_sync_interval = 6 hours service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { user = vmail } user = root } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 2727 ssl = yes } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port = 993 } process_limit = 256 process_min_avail = 6 service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 64 M } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mail.<mydomain>.com.pem ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/ ssl_client_ca_file = /etc/ssl/cert.pem ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 100 } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster@<mydomain>.com sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail }

Fatal: setgid, imap connections dropped.
by J. de Meijer 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hi, I'm getting errors with my IMAP setup. Basically, everything seems to work. Mail is delivered nicely from Postfix to Dovecot via LMTP. Dovecot does the authentication to LDAP (also for Postfix). Users are able to send mail via authenticated submission (Postfix) and login into IMAP and POP. However, IMAP connections are dropped frequently with an "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.". After pressing reload on the webmail, or refreshing in the client might help for a short period. So it fails intermittently. The errors in the maillog are below. It seems to be mixing up users kind of randomly. I think when multiple connections are made at the same time. Did a lot of searching, put couldn't find an answer to this problem. All I can find is related to LDA, which I'm not using. Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to use dovecot without ssl in centos 7. It works with imap but I am not able to make it work with pop3. Pop3 only works with ssl=yes. I can use dovecot in centos 4 ok. I get the same error with thunderbird and outlook. But for some reason it works when I telnet to port 110 and do retr 1. I was able to work pam and shadow passwords. this is the output that does not work with tls disabled Oct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/authOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.soOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.soOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.datOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=22513)Oct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 session=WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK lip=192.168.0.37 rip=192.168.0.10 lport=110 rport=58644Oct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1Oct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: client in: CONT 1 == (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data)Oct 18 13:30:17 auth-worker(22515): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/authOct 18 13:30:17 auth-worker(22515): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.soOct 18 13:30:17 auth-worker(22515): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.soOct 18 13:30:17 auth-worker(22515): Debug: shadow(joe2,192.168.0.10,<WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>): lookupOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=joe2Oct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 2718302209 22513 1 05eac7a2917ce3bc1f0f359b21b138e6 session_pid=22516Oct 18 13:30:17 auth-worker(22515): Debug: passwd(joe2,192.168.0.10,<WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>): lookupOct 18 13:30:17 auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 2718302209 joe2 system_groups_user=joe2 uid=660 gid=661 home=/home/joe2Oct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: Effective uid=660, gid=661, home=/home/joe2Oct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/joe2Oct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: fs: root=/home/joe2/mail, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/joe2, alt=Oct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Mailbox opened because: POP3 INBOXOct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 30: Opened mail because: accessOct 18 13:30:17 pop3(joe2)<22516><WXv1I4R4FOXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 30: Opened mail because: RETR This is the output with TLS and it works Oct 18 13:30:32 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=22542)Oct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=pop3 secured=tls session=44feJIR4FeXAqAAK lip=192.168.0.37 rip=192.168.0.10 lport=110 rport=58645 ssl_cipher=ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 ssl_cipher_bits=128 ssl_pfs=ECDH ssl_protocol=TLSv1.2Oct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1Oct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: client in: CONT 1 == (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data)Oct 18 13:30:33 auth-worker(22515): Debug: shadow(joe2,192.168.0.10,<44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>): lookupOct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=joe2Oct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 4165992449 22542 1 cb03b70f92c0c5c030e25a39ea4b8518 session_pid=22543Oct 18 13:30:33 auth-worker(22515): Debug: passwd(joe2,192.168.0.10,<44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>): lookupOct 18 13:30:33 auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 4165992449 joe2 system_groups_user=joe2 uid=660 gid=661 home=/home/joe2Oct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Effective uid=660, gid=661, home=/home/joe2Oct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/joe2Oct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: fs: root=/home/joe2/mail, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/var/mail/joe2, alt=Oct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Mailbox opened because: POP3 INBOXOct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 30: Opened mail because: accessOct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 30: Opened mail because: RETROct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 31: Opened mail because: accessOct 18 13:30:33 pop3(joe2)<22543><44feJIR4FeXAqAAK>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: UID 31: Opened mail because: RETR

Problems recovering IMAP Data
by Albert Whale 18 Oct '18

18 Oct '18

HELP, I have experience an issue with the long running IMAP service using Dovecot 2.1.15. I have replaced the interface cards (suspected failure), and I have only recently been able to retrieve my Inbox (1.45GB) via POP3 protocol (I normally run IMAP) I am suspecting a corrupted dovecot.index, but which one? I have counted 260 files in my IMAP tree with the word dovecot. I cannot determine which folder is corrupted with 2.1.5 even with the Mail Debug option. How can I recover the use of my IMAP configuration? Thank you.

Replication 'noreplicate' field usage
by Phil 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

I've set up replication as per the wiki under 2.3.3 and in my SQL user query I am returning a 'noreplicate' field, this is a boolean and returns true for all users at the moment. However when I do "doveadm replicator status '*'" it lists all users in my database suggesting it is trying to sync all users regardless of the noreplicate field. ``` user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid, noreplicate FROM users WHERE address = '%u' ``` It seems that the noreplicate field is being ignored, am I using it correctly?

Corrupted dbox file/index
by Raymond Sellars 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Hi Looking for some insight into mdbox index file management and recovery from corruptions. I have a two node cluster on NFS with proxy director in front for user stickness. One node (a nominated master) bidirectionally replicates to a 3rd node on a DR site. We periodically get index file corruptions resulting in rebuilds. However the user experience is poor as messages read/deleted from months/years ago all reappear as unread again. We've seen corruption because of NFS NTP time sync problems, proxy not being stick, but also the DR node being off line for a while and then tripping corruption within production when it comes back on. Error message example (1 of): Error: Corrupted dbox file /mailshare/.. (removed) ../home/mail/storage/m.4 (around offset=993548): EOF reading msg header (got 0/30 bytes) https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox- i've read up on all the documentation I can find and understand " you must not lose the dbox index files, they can't be regenerated without data loss." Questions: #1 Any additional tips for avoiding mdbox index corruptions with dsync? Or should I revert to maildir format? I like the performance premise of the mdbox but these index corruptions are a reliability issue. #2 I'm guessing read status is one of the meta data items lost. But its seems it can't recover it from dovecot.index.backup files either. Any technique to preserve that item as its key to the user experience? #3 If index/transaction logs are so critical is there some kind of check point backups I can take? Native dovecot feature or do I need to script something. #4 I've noticed that rebuilding the index does not work if the dovecot.index.log file is lost (deleted as a hard test). The dovecot.index.cache can be but once the log file i gone messages are not automatically (or manually that i can find) recovered from the storage directory. I've not seen any dovecot.index.log file corruptions but that file seems very high risk. If rebuilding the index only from the log file or a combination process from storage directory? Is there perhaps an option to just use the transaction log and not the index? Although that doesn't sound wise for performance. #5 In additional to status UNREAD we also notice files moved to the trash reappear. Is that expected behavior? Thanks Raymond

Problems with qouta_clone plugin
by Christian Ejlertsen 15 Oct '18

Hello I'm having troubles getting the quota_clone plugin to work for me. iø, trying to put the quota values into to to fields, messages and usage_in_bytes, in the mysql database. The quotas are getting written to the maildirsize file and can be updated with the doveadm quota recalc -A or -u "*" command But i can't seem to get it to trigger the quota_clone plugin, not even an error or a warning.. At this point a crash would be preferred since it might yield some information :) It is probably something simple but apparantly i'm failing to see it :) Hope someone can help. ------------- dovecot --version 2.3.2.1 (0719df592) cat dovecot-quota-clone-sql.conf.ext connect = **** map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = virtual_users value_field = usage_in_bytes username_field = email } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = virtual_users value_field = messages username_field = email } # 2.3.2.1 (0719df592): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) nfs4 # Hostname: imap01.ltmail.dk auth_debug = yes dict { lastlogin = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext quotaclone = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it lock_method = dotlock login_trusted_networks = 192.168.100.11/32 192.168.100.16/32 mail_fsync = always mail_location = maildir:/storage/vmail/%d/%n mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = " quota notify replication" mmap_disable = yes 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-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { last_login_dict = proxy::lastlogin last_login_key = last-login/%u mail_replica = tcp:imapb01.litmail.dk:12345 quota = maildir:User quota quota_clone_dict = proxy::quotaclone quota_grace = 10%% quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full quota_status_success = DUNNO } protocols = imap replication_max_conns = 100 service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0666 user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0666 user = vmail } } service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0666 user = vmail } user = $default_internal_user } service config { unix_listener config { user = vmail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service doveadm { group = vmail inet_listener { port = 12345 } user = vmail } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } process_min_avail = 10 service_count = 0 } service quota-status { client_limit = 1 executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/quota-status -p postfix inet_listener { port = 12340 } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0666 } } service stats { unix_listener stats-writer { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 1000 mail_plugins = " quota notify replication imap_quota last_login quota_clone" } protocol submission { mail_max_userip_connections = 1000 } -- Christian Ejlertsen
