Hello guys, Should the following configuration: mail_cache_fields = flags,imap.body,imap.bodystructure mail_always_cache_fields = imap.body,imap.bodystructure have an effect on the following command? doveadm index -u bob INBOX It seems to have no effect for some reason. Regards, Siva

Compiling from sources and security contexts (dovecot_selinux)
by TraxOnDaRocks 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hi, installation by prebuilt binaries creates security contexts on each file (as shown here https://linux.die.net/man/8/dovecot_selinux) so that dovecot integrates perfectly in SELinux. I've compiled instead from sources (as described here https://wiki2.dovecot.org/CompilingSource) and i'd like to know how create same security contexts of prebuilt binaries to have an identical behaviour in SELinux. Thank you

Permissions on /var/log/dovecot
by ＠lbutlr 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

/var/log/dovecot exists and has a lot of logging in it, but I get errors (in mail.log) on an always_bcc action in postfix: mail postfix/pipe[13015]: 401cvS0R8BzbSkL: to=<backup+073.kremels-kreme(a)doamin.tld>, relay=dovecot, delay=398058, delays=398045/13/0/0.04, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot: Permission denied ) What should the permissions on /var/log/dovecot be? (they are 640 root:wheel on FreeBSD, identical to mail.log)

Fwd: Everything works except sending mail
by Armin Tangelder 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hi people, Version of my beloved Dovecot installation: 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) I moved from a OS X server to a Linux (Ubuntu) Headless server. All fun and good to play around with. Love almost everything. In the combination with Postfix and Dovecot I’m stuck to despair into oblivion. Everything works except I cannot send mail from my (OS X) Outlook client I keep getting: Connection to the server failed or was dropped. Error Code -3253 Nothing More and nothing less. O do not get any other error in a logfile or anything. And I followed almost every installation manual I found. Postfix I can send and receive through telnet. But I just can’t get this to work… The mail doesn’t even reach Postfix queue as I cannot connect to send. I do have a awesome connection receiving my mail though ☺ Anyway: dovecot -n gives this (and I probably don’t see it anymore as I’ve been at this for several days now) # 2.2.27 (c0f36b0): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) # OS: Linux 4.13.0-37-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 17.10 auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_realms = formule1.demon.nl login_greeting = Dovecot ready. mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_max_userip_connections = 50 namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/server.crt ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } Anything useful I would love to see. Any information needed. THNKS… Armin -- Very funny Scotty, now beam down my clothes…

Accentuated email addresses stored in LDAP
by André Rodier 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hello everyone, I have successfully set up Dovecot with an LDAP backend, and everything works like a charm, except one small use case. I know it is possible, so if anyone knows a solution, thank you! Basically, I just want to send an email to one of my email address, which contains an accent, i.e. andré(a)homebox.space.... Every other alias works, but not those with accents. They are correctly stored in the LDAP database, using base64. I suspect I would need to use base64 again before the lookup, but I don't know how to do and if it is even possible. My filter is set up as this: filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(|(uid=%n)(mail=%u)(mailLocalAddress=%u))) It works perfectly for any email without accent. Thanks for your help. > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: auth: Debug: LDAP initialization took 7 msecs > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=0) > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: quota-status(andré(a)homebox.space): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: quota-status(andré(a)homebox.space): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib10_quota_plugin.so > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: auth: Debug: master in: USER 1 andré(a)homebox.space service=quota-status > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: auth: Debug: ldap(andré(a)homebox.space): user search: base=dc=homebox,dc=space scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(|(uid=andré)(mailLocalAddress=andré(a)homebox.space))) fields=homeDirectory,uidNumber,gidNumber,mail > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: auth: Debug: ldap(andré(a)homebox.space): no fields returned by the server > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: auth: ldap(andré(a)homebox.space): unknown user > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: auth: Debug: userdb out: NOTFOUND 1 > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox dovecot[24636]: quota-status(andré(a)homebox.space): Debug: auth USER input: > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox postfix/smtpd[24734]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from smtpfr.rodier.me[164.132.53.161]: 554 5.7.1 <andré(a)homebox.space>: Recipient address rejected: Unknown user; from=<root(a)smtpuk.rodier.me> to=<andré(a)homebox.space> pro > to=ESMTP helo=<smtpuk.rodier.me> > Mar 18 22:14:28 homebox postfix/smtpd[24734]: disconnect from smtpfr.rodier.me[164.132.53.161] ehlo=1 mail=1 rcpt=0/1 data=0/1 rset=1 quit=1 commands=4/6

Strange "IMAP connection broken (server response)" errors
by Jozsef Kadlecsik 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hello, We upgraded one of our dovecot servers to debian stretch with dovecot 2.2.27 and since then one of our users has been experiencing random IMAP failures. We enabled raw logging at the server side and it shows normal IMAP commands/responses: 1507292522.222427 * 6 FETCH (FLAGS () BODYSTRUCTURE ("text" "plain" ("charset" "us-ascii") NIL NIL "7bit" 4645 112 NIL NIL NIL NIL)) 1507292522.222653 00000011 OK Fetch completed (0.006 + 0.000 secs). On the client side the user runs alpine and the corresponding debug lines: IMAP DEBUG 14:22:02.216167: 00000011 FETCH 6 (BODYSTRUCTURE FLAGS) 14:22:02.217396 IMAP 14:22:02 10/6 mm_notify bye: {[127.0.0.1]:1555/imap/user="ha4aa"}INBOX: [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response) 14:22:02.217471 IMAP 14:22:02 10/6 mm_log error: [CLOSED] IMAP connection broken (server response) The "[127.0.0.1]:1555/imap/user="ha4aa" part in the log comes from an socat inserted between the client and the server to check independetly the imap session.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.23 for Dovecot v2.2.35.
by Stephan Bosch 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here is a new Pigeonhole release that goes with the new Dovecot v2.2.35 release. This release is not strictly necessary, as previous versions should be usable as well. This release only contains bug fixes. However, considering the rather nasty editheader bug that emerged in the previous release, upgrade is recommended. Changelog v0.4.23: - editheader extension: Corrected the stream position calculations performed while making the modified message available as a stream. Pigeonhole Sieve crashed in LMTP with an assertion panic when the Sieve editheader extension was used before the message was redirected. Experiments indicate that the problem occurred only with LMTP and that LDA is not affected. - fileinto extension: Fix assert panic occurring when fileinto is used without being listed in the require line, while the copy extension is listed there. This is a very old bug. - imapsieve plugin: Do not log an error for messages that disappear concurrently while applying Sieve scripts. This is a further improvement on the imapsieve fix in the previous release (which fixed a panic). This event is now logged as a debug message. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.23.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.23.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Controlling dovecot caching decisions
by Sivathmican Sivakumaran 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hello, It looks like the "mail_always_cache_fields" and "mail_never_cache_fields" can be used to control dovecot's caching decisions. I cannot seem to find any documentation regarding how these fields should be used. What are acceptable values for these fields? I am quite new to this so any help would be much appreciated. Regards, Siva

Replication Slave is not auto-creating domain/user folders
by Thore Bödecker 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hey all, I'm experiencing a weird and annoying issue with my 2-node dovecot replication setup. The setup is based on virtual users in a pgsql database, which is replicated from the master to a slave node. For the mails I rely on the dovecot builtin replication which has been working great for me thus far. However I noticed something was off when looking through my journal yesterday: dovecot[823]: doveadm: Error: Couldn't lock /var/vmail/foxxx0.de/qwer/.dovecot-sync.lock: safe_mkstemp(/var/vmail/foxxx0.de/qwer/.dovecot-sync.lock) failed: No such file or directory In this case the domain directory /var/vmail/foxxx0.de was already existing on the slave, but dovecot didn't bother to create the user folder before trying to lock it. The same happens when the entire domain folder is missing: dovecot[823]: doveadm: Error: Couldn't lock /var/vmail/dj-orakel.de/booking/.dovecot-sync.lock: safe_mkstemp(/var/vmail/dj-orakel.de/booking/.dovecot-sync.lock) failed: No such file or directory (in this case /var/vmail/dj-orakel.de is not existing yet) A natural first though would be "permission problem" - which I suspected too but the filesystem permissions are identical on the master and the slave: master (mx1): ---- root@valhalla ~ > stat /var/vmail/ File: /var/vmail/ Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory Device: fd06h/64774d Inode: 2 Links: 28 Access: (2770/drwxrws---) Uid: ( 5000/ vmail) Gid: ( 5000/ vmail) Access: 2016-09-04 13:04:33.837609018 +0200 Modify: 2018-03-17 18:22:47.506323895 +0100 Change: 2018-03-17 18:22:47.506323895 +0100 Birth: - root@valhalla ~ > id dovecot uid=76(dovecot) gid=76(dovecot) groups=76(dovecot) root@valhalla ~ > id vmail uid=5000(vmail) gid=5000(vmail) groups=5000(vmail) ---- replication slave (mx2): ---- root@midgard ~ > stat /var/vmail File: /var/vmail Size: 4096 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 directory Device: fe02h/65026d Inode: 2 Links: 27 Access: (2770/drwxrws---) Uid: ( 5000/ vmail) Gid: ( 5000/ vmail) Access: 2017-10-15 12:09:56.174209161 +0200 Modify: 2018-03-06 15:43:41.463359651 +0100 Change: 2018-03-06 15:43:41.463359651 +0100 Birth: - root@midgard ~ > id dovecot uid=76(dovecot) gid=76(dovecot) groups=76(dovecot) root@midgard ~ > id vmail uid=5000(vmail) gid=5000(vmail) groups=5000(vmail) ---- The replication service is configured in dovecot to run as user vmail, so it should not be a permission problem because the master is automatically creating the domain and user folders inside /var/vmail when new mails arrive. I highly suspect that this is some kind of regression because I can't remember having to manually create the domain/user folders on the slave before it would replicate mails for these, and there are quite a number of domains/users being replicated already.

Is possible to override Dovecot variables or Sieve env vars and extdata lookups
by MRob 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Are the dovecot environment variables mutable? I'd like to override like: set "${env.vnd.dovecot.username}" "someuser(a)example.org" Or better, I prefer to override %u Dovecot variable during the userdb lookup. Is either possible? PS, when Sieve does extdata lookups for username key, where does username come from? %u? Does an override as above change the dict lookup key for extdata?

per-user virtual mailboxes

Disable SIS
by Nick Rosier 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Hi, I'm currently running a small home-server with Dovecot. A long time ago I configured it with SIS enabled. I would like to stop using SIS. If I remove sis from mail_attachment_fs will the old mails that are stored in SIS-storage still be accessible? How can I convert all mailboxes to stop using SIS and store attachments back in the mails? Rgds, N.

Argon2i support in CE packages
by Grégory Oestreicher 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hi All, I've been experimenting with the Argon2i password scheme in a local setup, backed by a LDAP server, and Dovecot 2.3.0.1 can't authenticate my users for now. On the LDAP side the user passwords start with {ARGON2I} (and I can authenticate fine to the LDAP server), but it seems that the CE packages are compiled without libsodium. Is that correct? Is at this time the only alternative to recompile Dovecot myself, or are there plans to compile CE packages with libsodium? Cheers, Grégory

Assertion during dsync receive
by Ian Bobbitt 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

Hi, I'm getting an assertion failed on the receiving side, causing syncs to fail for one user. The servers are setup so that only one is receiving any traffic other than replication at any time. The one that's only receiving replications is the one that's failing. I've tried deleting the user's home on the receiving server, but it still crashes during the sync. Oddly, the user's home is 7.4G on the sending server, but ends up at 42G on the receiving side, even after deleting and trying a fresh sync. The mailbox implicated in the backtrace ("Spam") does have a very large number of messages in it.

Extra intermediate certificate when using ssl_alt_cert
by Peter Linss 13 Mar '18

13 Mar '18

I just added an ECDSA certificate to my mail server using ssl_alt_cert (the RSA certificate is specified by ssl_cert), both certificate files contain the certificate and a single intermediate (which currently happens to be the same intermediate from Let’s Encrypt). When connecting to the server using either RSA or ECDSA ciphers, the server sends the proper certificate, but also sends two intermediates. Apparently it’s reading the intermediate from both files and using both for all situations, rather than using only the intermediate in the RSA file for RSA certificates, and the intermediate in the ECDSA file for ECDSA certificates. I expect this will be a bigger problem when Let’s Encrypt starts using ECDSA intermediates. Removing the intermediate from the ssl_alt_cert file solves the problem (but then doesn’t allow an ECDSA intermediate to be specified).

2.2.34 broken if ssl_protocols contains !SSLv2
by Stuart Henderson 11 Mar '18

11 Mar '18

The code in ssl_protocols_to_min_protocol() to convert ssl_protocols to min/max values can't cope with strings containing "!SSLv2". dovecot: imap-login: Fatal: Unknown ssl_protocols setting: Unrecognized protocol 'SSLv2' This string might be configured explicitly by the user, or if the user hasn't configured this themselves it could also come from the default because master_service_ssl_default_settings sets this: #ifdef SSL_TXT_SSLV2 .ssl_protocols = "!SSLv2 !SSLv3", #else .ssl_protocols = "!SSLv3", #endif

Hello, I've got dovecot authenticating to a MySQL database. I've got a field varchar(128) called password. Whenever I create a password I use doveadm pw as in: doveadm pw -s sha512-crypt now i'd like to get MySQL to make a dovecot-specific password. My goal is to eventually have roundcube's password plugin working with this MySQL database to change the password. Thanks. Dave.

mail_attachment_detection_options not working
by Alessio Cecchi 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Hi, I enabled mail_attachment_detection_options on dovecot 2.2.34, in 10-mail.conf I have: mail_attachment_detection_options = add-flags-on-save but when an email is delivered in mailbox (Maildir) via LMTP no flag (HasNoAttachment or HasAttachment) was added. In dovecot-keywords file I have: 0 $HasNoAttachment 1 NonJunk 2 $HasAttachment so I thinks that the feature was eanbled but is unable. What am I doing wrong? Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Dovecot LMTP rejects all users as non-existent
by Alexander Harm 09 Mar '18

I'm running Dovecot 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) on Debian Stretch and I'm having some trouble with LMTP delivery from Postfix to Dovecot. The message in the logs is Mar 9 09:21:19 mail postfix/smtpd[3295]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from some.mail.server[1.2.3.4]: 450 4.1.1 <alias(a)my.domain>: Recipient address rejected: unverified address: host my.mail.server[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <user(a)my.domain> User doesn't exist: user(a)my.domain (in reply to RCPT TO command); from=<someone(a)another.domain> to=<alias(a)my.domain> proto=ESMTP helo=<some.mail.server> However, testing my installation with doveadm works fine: doveadm user -u user(a)my.domain userdb: user(a)my.domain user : user(a)my.domain uid : 5000 gid : 5000 home : /srv/mail/vhosts/my.domain/user doveadm auth test user(a)my.domain passdb: user(a)my.domain auth succeeded I'm using a static userdb and a ldap passdb: # /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-ldap.conf.ext passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/srv/mail/vhosts/%d/%n } And my LDAP config reads like this # /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext uris = ldap://127.0.0.1 dn = uid=dovecot,ou=services,dc=my,dc=domain dnpass = ********* auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = cn=%u,ou=mail,dc=my,dc=domain ldap_version = 3 base = ou=mail,dc=querco,dc=org deref = never scope = onelevel user_attrs = user_filter = (&(objectclass=PostfixBookMailAccount)(mailEnabled=TRUE)(cn=%u)) pass_attrs = cn=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectclass=PostfixBookMailAccount)(mailEnabled=TRUE)(cn=%u)) iterate_attrs = cn=user iterate_filter = (&(objectclass=PostfixBookMailAccount)(mailEnabled=TRUE)) Sending the mail straight to user(a)my.domain works. Sending it to another alias works as well. Is there some caching problem and if so how to delete the cache (reboot didn't work)? Any pointers are highly appreciated.

Authentication Problem with dovecot-2.3.0.1
by Odhiambo Washington 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

I am a little confused here. I have been running 2.2.34 which I installed in /opt/dovecot2.2 I installed 2.3.0.1 to /opt/dovecot23 I then used config files from /opt/dovecot2.2/etc/dovecot to /opt/dovecot2.3/etc/dovecot and all I did was sed -i.BAK 's/dovecot2.2/dovecot2.3/g'. Dovecot started and was running file. Next, I manually crafted config files for 2.3.0.1 based on the example config files provided which diff-ing those with what I had for 2.2.34. I doub't if I missed something crucial during the process. 1. I realized that I cannot start 2.3.0.1 when I enable submission, since my Exim MTA is already using that port. This persists even if I tell the submission protocol to use a different port than 587. I tested 2587, but it would appear that 587 is hard-coded! 2. I realize that "unix_listener auth-client" service ceased to exist! 3. *I realized that while 2.2.34 runs with default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT, 2.3.0.1 would not run with it.* 4. I have run dovecot -n from my 2.2.x installation and 2.3.x installation and here is the diff from the two files. I am confused why authentication is failing with dovecot-2.3.0.1 when it uses 2.3.x config files using MD5-CRYPT scheme while it is succeeding with dovecot-2.2.34 using the same. *Mar 07 22:30:22 auth: Info: sql(user.name(a)domain.name <user.name(a)domain.name>,192.168.55.97,<4CETl9dmscvAqDdh>): Requested DIGEST-MD5 scheme, but we have only MD5-CRYPT* Maybe the problem is elsewhere???

Hello, I've got dovecot going with postfix and MySQL database for user and domain storage. Dovecot handles the authentication. My last login is not working, does anyone have a table example and configs? I looked at the wiki page on the lastlogin plugin but obviously what I'm doing isn't working, I keep getting message write was unsuccessful for the lastlogin ip. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Authentification fails in dovecot 2.3.0.1
by post＠volker-wysk.de 08 Mar '18

Hi I've upgraded dovecot from 2.2.22 to 2.3.0.1. Now I can't authenticate any longer. My mail client says that the user name and password are rejected by dovecot. I get this line in /var/log/auth.log: Mar 6 19:28:02 desktop auth: PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted And this in /var/log/dovecot.log: Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=5615) Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured session=ggZPmsJmIoh/AAAB lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=993 rport=34850 local_ Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Debug: pam(v,127.0.0.1,<ggZPmsJmIoh/AAAB>): lookup service=dovecot Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Debug: pam(v,127.0.0.1,<ggZPmsJmIoh/AAAB>): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Info: pam(v,127.0.0.1,<ggZPmsJmIoh/AAAB>): pam_authenticate() failed: System error Mar 06 19:28:04 auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 1 user=v Mar 06 19:28:06 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts in 4 secs): user=<v>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS, session=<ggZPmsJmIoh/AAAB> Now it seems I can't go back to 2.2.22 as well: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3 says "Downgrading is possible to v2.2.27 and later.

AppArmor profile for Dovecot on Debian Stretch
by André Rodier 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

Hello all, Is there any guide to help in the configuration of Dovecot for AppArmor on Debian / Ubuntu ? Or maybe does any of you already have something that works? I am actually adding AppArmor on an email server project, and I had some trouble with the versions from Debian. I would like to avoid - if possible - the long try and error process for each Dovecot executable. I am using IMAP, LMTP, Sieve and ManageSieve, with LDAP users. The full project reference is here: https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox ii dovecot-core 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-imapd 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-ldap 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-lmtpd 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-managesieved 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-pop3d 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-sieve 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 Thanks for your advices André

Mail addresses with quotes + Postfix
by Philipp Berger 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Dear all, I have a working setup with Postfix + Dovecot, storing users in a MySQL table. I ran into problems setting up and using a mail address like a"@"b(a)mydomain.tld, which by RFC should be valid, but leads to problems in Dovecot. From my debugging, I can see that on the lookup, Dovecot replaces %n with "a" (quotes added by me) and %d with "b(a)mydomain.tld" (quotes added by me). So the original quotes are gone, and the domain/user split is incorrect. I am not sure of Postfix passes the address without quotes to Dovecot or whether Dovecot can not handle quotes correctly, but I was hoping that someone with more insight into Dovecot could help me out here. System Info: Debian 9, Postifx 3.1.6-0+deb9u1, Dovecot 2.2.27-3+deb9u1 Postfix master.cf for Dovecot: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=virtual:virtual argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} I am grateful for any hints :) Thank you in advance, kind regards, Philipp

extra IMAP folders: how to make all clients use the same Sent folder?
by Stanislaw Findeisen 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Dear All I have just setup IMAP with Maildir, but unfortunately some clients create their own folders instead of using those specified in 15-mailboxes.conf . What could be the reason? Here's what it looks like: > B list "" * > * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Sent) "." "Sent Messages" > * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." Gesendet > * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." Entw&APw-rfe > * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "." Trash > * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." Papierkorb > * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Drafts) "." Drafts > * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Sent) "." Sent > * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." Ausgang > * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Junk) "." Junk > * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX > B OK List completed. Here for example "Gesendet" (meaning "Sent" in German) is a folder created by some Android client app. This app uses it to store its sent mail, while another client uses the Sent folder. Also, is it correct that all those folders (both pre-made and extra) get created directly in the user's maildir, alongside cur, new, tmp and Dovecot index files? Shouldn't there be any subdir? > # dovecot --version > 2.2.13 Thanks! Stanisław

requiring a full fqdn for authentication

Hello, I'm using dovecot to do postfix authentication. I'm trying to get dovecot to require a complete email address as a login. Currently I can log in by either a username or fqdn.

This is the whole idea behind imap, to be able to do work while off-line and sync changes when on-line or I get it wrong ? thanks anyway George

sieve vacation alias handling problem
by Karol Augustin 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hi, I am using Dovecot LDA as LMTP renders envelope extension unusable. The problem I have noticed is that when user has multiple aliases sieve responds to all of them, not only to :addresses specified. >From testing it seems that :addresses only adds addresses to the list of "known" emails to check against. It is not limiting it. As I understand, sieve should check if To: header is consistent with addresses known to be users. But how Dovecot knows about aliases assigned to the user? >From my testing if header To: address is consistent with envelope To: address the reply is fired. I have sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient left at it's default value (no), so that shouldn't be the case. Now if user address(a)example.com has alias alias(a)example.com specified, the vacation reply will be sent to email addressed to alias(a)example.com, which is weird, because this behavior should be enabled by switching sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient to yes. When user receives an email that was originally sent to his gmail account (forwarded) there is no reply. If I add gmail address to :addresses reply is generated as expected. So my main question is if this is expected? I would like to enable only delivery to primary address and to + extensions to that address by default. I think that it might be that Postfix is expanding aliases and passing the final recipient (as to=<XXX>) to dovecot. Then dovecot is using that address to check for explicit delivery, but something fails, as this address is obviously not in To: header. So it looks like orig_to has to be used as well which should be disabled by sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient? My address is: karol(a)augustin.pl, alias is: carol(a)augustin.pl Mar 2 12:37:32 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<3ba0578a5f6b170e942b5bac1b19be36(a)posteo.net>: sent vacation response to <sender(a)example.com> Mar 2 12:37:32 mail postfix/qmgr[4744]: 3zt82h4CG4z2xlw: from=<>, size=732, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 2 12:37:32 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<3ba0578a5f6b170e942b5bac1b19be36(a)posteo.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Mar 2 12:37:32 mail postfix/pipe[8793]: 3zt82f3x4xz2xmw: to=<karol(a)augustin.pl>, orig_to=<carol(a)augustin.pl>, relay=dovecot, delay=2.2, delays=2.2/0/0/0.06, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) Forward from from gmail: Mar 2 11:38:19 mail postfix/qmgr[4744]: 3zt6kL1yF7z2xgg: from=<karolaug+caf_=karol=augustin.pl(a)gmail.com>, size=5831, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 2 11:38:19 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<e610a47934f9aabb31f833c025075cff(a)posteo.net>: discarding vacation response for implicitly delivered message; no known (envelope) recipient address found in message headers (recipient=<karol(a)augustin.pl>, and additional `:addresses' are specified) Mar 2 11:38:19 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<e610a47934f9aabb31f833c025075cff(a)posteo.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Mar 2 11:38:19 mail postfix/pipe[5362]: 3zt6kL1yF7z2xgg: to=<karol(a)augustin.pl>, relay=dovecot, delay=1.3, delays=1.2/0/0/0.05, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) from my master.cf: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -a ${original_recipient} -d ${user}@${nexthop} Thanks, Karol -- Karol Augustin karol(a)augustin.pl http://karolaugustin.pl/ +353 85 775 5312

I suspect that the "return" keyword should be dropped from both functions. Thoughts?

Thanks, that means that outlook is useless as an Imap client then . This is the whole idea behind imap, to be able to do work while off-line and sync changes when on-line or I get it wrong ? thanks anyway George

LMTP delivery segfaults when user is over quota.
by Reio Remma 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hello! I'm having crashes with LMTP delivery when user is over quota on the latest CentOS 7.4 with the latest Dovecot 2.3.0.1 from Dovecot repo. I see the issue has been fixed on January 17, but it doesn't seem to have made it into 2.3.0.1 (I compared with the source from https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.0.1.tar.gz) https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/2bf919786518d138cc07d9cc21e14ad5e07e… I also noticed a similar construct being used on line 465 (rcpt->rcpt.rcpt->path) that was causing the segfault on the above commit on line 136. struct smtp_address *rcpt_to = rcpt->rcpt.rcpt->path; Should that also use rcpt->rcpt.path; ? Thanks from the other side of the gulf! Reio

Deprecations for schema.xml and newest Solr version (7.2.x)
by TG Servers 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Hi, the schema.xml example provided for dovecot in /usr/share/doc/dovecot-<verison> does not work anymore with the newest Solr Version (as I know of 7.2.x) because some field classes and filter classes are deprecated in this version. The changes (according to the Solr documentation) would have to be : In the index analyzer : <fieldType name="long" class="solr.TrieLongField" /> into <fieldType name="long" class="solr.LongPointField" /> ......... <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> into <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterGraphFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> and because this is used in the index analyzer it has to be followed by <filter class="solr.FlattenGraphFilterFactory"/> .............. In the query analyzer : <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> into <filter class="solr.SynonymGraphFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> ............... <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> into <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterGraphFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/> ......... Don't know if you want to mention this somewhere in your docs. Cheers, Thomas

getmail, dovecot, virtual users
by David Mehler 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Hello, I've got a dovecot setup with virtual users coming from a MySQL database. The only system user I have is the vmail owner of the email store. What i'd like to do is use the program getmail to back up my gmail account and place that in my user's virtual mail store. I'm having issues making the configuration file and where to put it. Should it go in the virtual user's home directory or somewhere else and run by which user root or the vmail user? If anyone has this working any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

Outlook 2016 & IMAP Trouble with dovecot
by G A 05 Mar '18

05 Mar '18

Reposting since it went under another thread somehow... Hello List, I'm facing an issue with dovecot (2.2.27) IMAP and Outlook as a client. I have some users that use Outlook (2016) as a client . One of them has a desktop PC in the office and a laptop machine which I've setup some days ago . The user did some work, during the weekend, in his laptop (filling messages into IMAP folders) and to his (and mine) surprise, today in the office he saw that none of his work is reflected on the server. Messages are not where they supposed to be .Tomorrow he will bring the laptop over to check, but I have seen this problem again in the past again with outlook 2016 as a client (specifically I've had a user which during work he was deleting or renaming folders which appear fine on his copy of outlook (ost) but not on the server). Anyone has any experience with dovecot and outlook and related problems ? thanks in advance George

Virtual question
by LuKreme 03 Mar '18

03 Mar '18

“For each virtual directory you need to create a dovecot-virtual file. Its syntax is like:” OK, where does this file get created? Say I want the users to have a virtual mailbox that is messages received in the last month, does that file go into each user' s Maildir path? It sounds like I have to create a virtual folder for each user, then any folders inside that folders, and then the config files in each of the sub folders. user1/Maildir/virtual/month/dovecot-virtual user1/Maildir/virtual/week/dovecot-virtual user1/Maildir/virtual/flagged/dovecot-virtual user1/Maildir/virtual/Amazon/dovecot-virtual user2/Maildir/virtual/month/dovecot-virtual user2/Maildir/virtual/week/dovecot-virtual user2/Maildir/virtual/flagged/dovecot-virtual user2/Maildir/virtual/Amazon/dovecot-virtual Yes? If so, is there anyway to have a "global”virtual that applies to all users (but not that unifies the mail between users or anything like that). Also, will virtual mailboxes show up automatically for the user in the folder list or will they have to specifically subscribe to them? (Assuming they use a client that allows subscribing instead of auto showing all mailboxes like iOS). ˜kremels/ $ cat Maildir/virtual/month/dovecot-vitual # ~/Maildir/virtual/month/dovecot-virtual INBOX work/* all younger 2678400 That should create a mailbox "month” in a folder named "virtual” that shows all the messages from the last 31d, yes? And I should be able to access that mailbox in a MUA like Roundcube or <spit>Thunderbird? -- My main job is trying to come up with new and innovative and effective ways to reject even more mail. I'm up to about 97% now.

Debian: Dovecot 2.3.0.1 won't start if dovecot-pop3d is missing
by Markus Schönhaber 03 Mar '18

03 Mar '18

Hello, given a Debian 9 system with Dovecot 2.2.34 installed from self-built packages made from the official tarball combined with Stephan Bosch's debian files (upgraded multiple times from packages made in a similar way). Today, I updated this system to 2.3.0.1 from the official repository at repo.dovecot.org. After the update, dovecot wouldn't start because of: > dovecot: master: Fatal: service(pop3) access(/usr/lib/dovecot/pop3) failed: No such file or directory Obviously, installing the dovecot-pop3d package, which provides the pop3 binary, made the error go away. Nevertheless, until v. 2.2.34 not installing the pop3 binary had never been a problem. Trying to solve this, I even commented the following sections in the config (which previously hadn't caused problems since the lines defining the ports etc. had already been commented): > 10-master.conf: > service pop3-login { > inet_listener pop3 { > #port = 110 > } > inet_listener pop3s { > #port = 995 > #ssl = yes > } > } > service pop3 { > # Max. number of POP3 processes (connections) > #process_limit = 1024 > } > 10-director.conf: > service pop3-login { > #executable = pop3-login director > } After those changes I had the configuration shown below, which produced the described error. Why would Dovecot insist that the pop3 binary has to exist on the system?

Another remark: I have installed the new version from the PPA provided by dovecot.org: deb https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/ubuntu/xenial xenial main Before (2.2.22) I had installed it from the ubuntu (canonical) package sources - and not the PPA provided by dovecot.org.

Hi, I'm using autoexpunge to clean my users' Trash and Spam mailboxes. But I'm also using lazy_expunge to keep a copy of deleted messages.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.22 for Dovecot v2.2.34.
by Stephan Bosch 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here is a new Pigeonhole release that goes with the new Dovecot v2.2.34 release. This release is not strictly necessary, as previous versions should be usable as well. This release only contains bugfixes. Changelog v0.4.22: - Fixed filesystem path handling problem: sieve plugin could have assert-crashed with specific path lengths with: "Panic: file realpath.c: line 86 (path_normalize): assertion failed: (npath_pos + 1 < npath + asize)". - Sieve extprograms plugin: Large output from "execute" command crashed delivery. Fixed buffering issue in code that handles output from the external program. - editheader extension: Extensively reworked the low-level implementation of adding and removing headers. This solves a few integer arithmetic problems reported by Clang runtime checks, but also improves code structure and reliability in general. - imapsieve: Fix assert crash occurring when selected messages are expunged concurrently by the time Sieve filter is to be applied. - imap4flags extension: Fix binary byte-code corruption occurring when the setflag, addflag, or removeflag command's flag-list is a variable. - enotify extension: mailto method: Fixed parsing of mailto URI with only a header part. - enotify extension: mailto method: Make sure "From:" header is set to a usable address and not "(null)". - Fixed writing address headers to outgoing messages. It sometimes erroneously applied another layer of MIME header encoding. The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.22.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.22.t… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

question about quota setting with postfix and dovecot

Dear dovecot-list, I have questions regarding setting up quota with postfix(Maildir format)+ dovect. My main point of the question is to know how the user password is used in quota in this case. Please see the below configuration info and my questions are in the bottom. Here are what have been done: <Postfix side configuration> /etc/postfix/main.cf: ----- myhostname = mail.example.com mydomain = example.com myorigin = $mydomain inet_interfaces = all mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain home_mailbox = Maildir/ mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT" -d "$USER" <--Add ----- <Dovecot side configuration> 1. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf: #!include auth-system.conf.ext #!include auth-sql.conf.ext #!include auth-ldap.conf.ext !include auth-passwdfile.conf.ext <---Only enabled #!include auth-checkpassword.conf.ext #!include auth-vpopmail.conf.ext #!include auth-static.conf.ext 2. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf service auth { snip/ unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 <---The permission for userdb 666 #user = #group = snip/ 3. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir snip/ mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota <---set the plugin snip/ 4. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf: snip/ postmaster_address = root(a)example.com <---Add postmaster snip/ protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins <--set the plugin } 5. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf: protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota <--set the plugin snip/ 6. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-pop3.conf: snip/ protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota <--set the plugin snip/ 7. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf: plugin { <--set global quota quota = maildir:<User quota> quota_rule = *:storage=100M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M } 8. /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-passwdfile.conf.ext: snip/ passdb { driver = passwd-file args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users <--Path for passwdfile } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users } snip/ 9. /etc/dovecot/users: test004:{SSHA256}hFxB8tbyZrCCcwZKDaQEiUfojbRovOq8ECU0syPHQTCY0233:18222:18222::/home/test004::userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=1M test005:{SSHA256}hFxB8tbyZrCCcwZKDaQEiUfojbRovOq8ECU0syPHQTCY0233:18223:18223::/home/test005::userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=1M test006:{SSHA256}hFxB8tbyZrCCcwZKDaQEiUfojbRovOq8ECU0syPHQTCY0233:18224:18224::/home/test006::userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=1M Note:The hashed password is created running the blow command: # doveadm pw -s ssha256 10. /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: snip/ protocols = imap pop3 <--Available protocols snip/ 11. # service postfix restart # service dovcot restart Question: 1./etc/dovecot/users is supposed to be seen instead of /etc/passwd for authentification of imap and pops in receiving emails, isn't it? 2.If the answer for above question 1 is 'YES', then doesn't it require to get all password in /etc/passwd hashed for each user and place all of them into /etc/dovecot/users? 3.If the answer for above question 1 is 'NO', then what the hashed-password in /etc/dovcot/users such as {SSHA256}hFX... used for? Excuse me if those are silly questions, but I am not a dovecot person and would very much appreciate it if anyone would kindly give me a hand on this. Regards, Masaharu Kawada

Using virtual folders with younger and index files
by Rob Hoelz 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

Hi list, I just encountered a problem while using dovecot's Virtual plugin with 2.3.0. I managed to solve the issue, but I wanted to bring it to the attention of others on the list to see if there exists a better solution, if I found a bug, or if it's just a matter of updating documentation. I have a virtual folder to get the most recent two weeks of mails; it looks something like this: > INBOX > all younger 1209600 I made this folder back in October. Lately, I started to notice that the virtual folder had a surprising amount of mail in it - I don't get 1,000 e-mails per week! After some doveadm commands, I realized that e-mails from October were still present in my virtual folder! Updating the dovecot-virtual would clear away e-mails older than two weeks (I needed to actually introduce a change, even if it was just whitespace - just touching the file didn't update things), and removing the dovecot index file also cleared things away. In then end, I ended up just telling dovecot to disable on-disk indexes for that folder. I created this folder based on the examples on https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual - I'm wondering if I found a bug or if that page should be changed to recommend disabling on-disk indexes when using certain search query filters such as "younger". If the latter, I can always make the change - just let me know! -Rob

Re: Quota status to postfix in distributed environment (Karol Augustin)
by SAAHIL IFTEKHAR 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi Karol Thanks for taking time to go through the email and replying. I'll rewrite the issue again --> For example consider there two nodes. These each having their postfix and dovecot. I am trying to implement quota status to postfix to both the below cases:- case 1) mail sent within the node case 2) mail sent across the nodes In case 1 the postfix will query the dovecot of same node white in case 2 it will query the dovecot of other node. But suppose I am sending mail within the node and dovecot in other node is down. Mail will not go within the node. Even it will not defer also. This is evident from the logs(in last sections). I'll try to work suggestions you have given in mysetup though and post the relevant output. But if you have any other suggestion regarding what i have wrote just now. please let me know.

I want to point out that the reason from the problem can be found out from logs(the end section). The "check_policy_service" in main.cf of postfix is the problem according to me. This configuration as a part of quota staus to postfix configuration. I hope many have went through this scenario or similar. So I am hoping to get some help for the same.

But I am not able to resolve the issue even after searching solution on internet and trying different hit and trials by myself. I want that if i am sending email to any node or within node, the configuration relating to "check _policy_service" for other node does not interfere and mail goes properly. At the same time I can also fetch quota status from other nodes. > > If I can get any help regarding this it will be really appreciable as I have tried a lot of options already. > Your problem is that if the dovecot is unreachable Postfix can't check the quota for the user. http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html explains how to resolve this problem: smtpd_policy_service_default_action (default: 451 4.3.5 Server configuration problem): The default action when an SMTPD policy service request fails. Available with Postfix 3.0 and later. The default action when an SMTPD policy service request fails. Specify "DUNNO" to behave as if the failed SMTPD policy service request was not sent, and to continue processing other access restrictions, if any. You can configure it per policy also. The issue you might encounter with this setup is that if both of your dovecot nodes are unreachable Postfix will accept the e-mail and try to deliver it. When the nodes come online it will fail if the user is over quota and generate bounce to the envelope sender of the message, which might produce backscatter. I resolved this problem by keeping quota information in Mysql table and using custom policy server to check if user is allowed to receive more e-mail. Also this approach might not work with aliases and other redirections, the e-mail address checked by smtpd policy is the one before alias expansion. You should check if it suits your environment.

dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent
by Rupert Gallagher 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Problem solved by going in manually. The log message appears for empty "public" folders. Say, you have a folder X with subfolder Y, where X does not contain any e-mail. The log message disappears if you drop an email into X, then remove it. Puf, gone! So, there seems to be a baby bug in how dovecot manages the index in this case.

BUG: Error: dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent when shared folder is new and empty
by Marco Giunta 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.33.2 on a RHEL 7, new installation. My log is full of : Error: INDEX_FOLDER/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent or Error: INDEX_FOLDER/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent when shared folder is never touched and empty. UserA share XXXXX folder with UserB, if XXXXX folder is new (never touched) and empty every time UserB looks in that folder, an error appears in log file. If UserA copy a mail in XXXXX folder, no more errors. If UserA (or UserB) delete all mails in XXXXX folder (the folder is empty again), no more errors. So the errors appear when UserB access a new (never touched) shared empty folder; if the folder is empty, but not new (p.e. UserA has already copied and deleted mails in that folder) error is logged only once. Attached my configuration.

Out of memory on lmtp vsz_limit
by Terence Lau 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi, We've been getting these types or errors for quite a while now ... Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 63477 returned error 83 (Out of memory (service lmtp { vsz_limit=4096 MB }, you may need to increase it) ... and these errors have been decreasing in occurrence as we increased the default_vsz_limit. Which is good but I would like to get some advice on how I could possibly eliminate the errors. We have an internal smtp server (postfix 3.1.0) that has the config "always_bcc=archive(a)company.com" over lmtp. This mailbox is on a separate dovecot server with the following config (please let me know if the full config is required): # 2.2.22 (fe789d2): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.13 (7b14904) # OS: Linux 4.4.0-109-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS ext4 default_vsz_limit = 4 G mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n protocols = " imap lmtp pop3" service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } } userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users default_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%d/%n driver = passwd-file } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = } Since we discovered the errors, we've been increasing the default_vsz_limit to 1G, then 2G and now 4G (Server has 6GB of memory). These errors occur whenever a large number of emails get sent around the same time to our smtp server. This causes the dovecot server to start crunching CPU and Memory. Load average goes through the roof and takes some time to come back down as the smtp queue clears itself. This mailbox is obviously very large but we have a script that runs daily to delete any emails older than a month: find /home/vmail/company.com/archive/new/ -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \; find /home/vmail/company.com/archive/cur/ -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \; Still, the mailbox has on average of just under 300,000 emails. No one accesses this mailbox with an email client, not until we need to dig something up. And this has only happen once. So the emails pretty much never get read/process by a user. Now that we've increased the default_vsz_limit to 4G, the occurrence of these errors has reduced considerably. But they still happen occasionally. Short of increasing the memory further, are there any other options I have? Thanks. [https://www.royhill.com.au/email/Emalisignaturecurrent.jpg]

Quota status to postfix in distributed environment
by SAAHIL IFTEKHAR 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Hi I have implemented Quota status to postfix in our setup. I have an imap server (dovecot) and mail server (postfix) in every node. I am able to send quota status to postfix and mails are rejected after 100% mail quota is crossed. This rejection is happening both in across the nodes and within the nodes. The problem is if I am sending mails to any node and if any other node's dovecot is down, mails are not going. For example, I am sending an email within the system but if some other node's dovecot is down then email within the system also will not go. My dovecot version is 2.2.10. My postfix version is 2.1.10. *doveconf -n output is below:-* # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.3 (Maipo) xfs

Hi Actually, the requirement is such that we have to work with this version only. I want to point out that the reason from the problem can be found out from logs(the end section). The "check_policy_service" in main.cf of postfix is the problem according to me. This configuration as a part of quota staus to postfix configuration. I hope many have went through this scenario or similar. So I am hoping to get some help for the same.

Really slow IMAP performance
by Neil Jerram 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

Please could you help me to understand and fix why my dovecot IMAP performance is so bad? I've read through a lot of the performance-related material on the website, but I don't think that any of it could account for slowness at the level that I am seeing. The simplest scenario is moving a message from my Inbox to another IMAP folder. Using Gnus as the client, the whole UI freezes for about 2 minutes (which I assume is until the move is complete), and journalctl on the dovecot server says: Feb 24 10:24:24 arudy dovecot[1712]: imap(neil): Warning: Transaction log file /home/neil/dovecot-mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log was locked for 98 seconds (Mailbox was synchronized) or the same message with (rotating while syncing). There must be something badly wrong in my setup, or perhaps in the spec of the server that dovecot is running on. What should I look at to start understanding this better? Many thanks - Neil

understanding dovecot director passdb configuration
by Kalyana sundaram 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

Hey All I am very new to dovecot ecosystem. Found the software really robust and secure. Kudos to the team!!! We are setting up dovecot imap servers sharing a single nfs mount point. So to avoid nfs cache issues, we are setting up dovecot director. We are using dovecot version 2.2.10. While going through the documentation of dovecot director I stumbled across the following lines in passdb configuration https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director "Note that while this is the simplest director configuration, users will be assigned to a backend before they have been authenticated. A director configured this way can be attacked by sending it a large number of unknown users. To prevent this, the director should be configured to authenticate the user and might make use of a master password to log into the backend servers." I understand on static passdb config dovecot assigns a user to a machine in the list of backends by using md5(username)%number_of_mail_servers. But other than this calculation it does not incur any other resources. It does have tcp connection with the system which is trying to do bruteforce. If we move to authenticating users directly at the director server, the director servers imap-login director service should be anyways loaded on an attack. Is it anything to do that the imap-login will contact auth process asynchronously and keep itself free? I am pretty sure I am overlooking some point on the above statement. Can somebody throw some light on that? -- Kalyanasundaram http://blogs.eskratch.com/ https://github.com/kalyanceg/

imap-login director is not restarted after each auth request
by Kalyana sundaram 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

Hi imap-login by default in mail server is restarted after every login request keeping security in mind to avoid leak of critical data. But in a director config, the imap-login director process is not restarted on each auth request. Can somebody explain why this design decision is taken? -- Kalyanasundaram http://blogs.eskratch.com/ https://github.com/kalyanceg/

2.2.33.2 - Virtual Mailbox Issue bug maybe ?
by Matt Bryant 25 Feb '18

25 Feb '18

Been experimenting with virtual mailbox and have a question :- I have defined 2 virtual mailboxes 'all' and 'combined' as follows ... virtual/all/dovecot-virtual virtual/combined inthread refs x-mailbox INBOX virtual/combined/dovecot-virtual !INBOX INBOX/Sent INBOX/Drafts all When new mail comes I would assume that both virtual mailboxes should actually see the message but whilst an imap search command gets a result in the virtual/combined for some reason not every message is seen in virtual all - so was wondering what exactly does 'inthread refs x-mailbox INBOX' do ? I would have thought new mail to inbox would just have a thread of 1 and be seen. If i remove the indexes from virtual then the messages appear so am thinking something not quite triggering an action. Any ideas ? What can I do to try and track down where problem lies or am i misunderstanding what 'inthread refs x-mailbox INBOX' should do ???? == 8< ========== # doveconf -n # 2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.21 (92477967) doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=5000 } is lower than required under max. load (26096) doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=5000 } is lower than required under max. load (9715) # OS: Linux 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) auth_cache_negative_ttl = 2 mins auth_cache_ttl = 3 mins auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_worker_max_count = 100 default_client_limit = 8192 default_process_limit = 8192 default_vsz_limit = 512 M disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep tb-lsub-flags imap_idle_notify_interval = 1 mins login_greeting = IMAP/POP3 ready - us11-001dm mail_attachment_dir = /var/mail/sis/%Ld mail_cache_min_mail_count = 5 mail_debug = yes mail_plugins = " quota virtual" mailbox_list_index = yes 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 spamtest spamtestplus editheader mbox_write_locks = fcntl mmap_disable = yes namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Archive { auto = create special_use = \Archive } mailbox Drafts { auto = create special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = create special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = create special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = create special_use = \Trash } prefix = INBOX/ separator = / type = private } namespace virtual { list = no location = virtual:/var/lib/mail/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual prefix = virtual/ separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/sql_users.conf driver = sql } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/sql_admin.conf driver = sql } plugin { mail_log_events = delete expunge mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size quota = dict:UserQuota::file:%h/dovecot-quota quota_rule2 = INBOX/Trash:storage=+10%% sieve = file:~/sieve/user;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_default = file:/var/lib/mail/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_default_name = default sieve_editheader_max_header_size = 1k sieve_extensions = +spamtest +spamtestplus +editheader +vacation-seconds sieve_global = file:/var/lib/mail/dovecot/sieve sieve_quota_max_scripts = 5 sieve_spamtest_max_value = 200 sieve_spamtest_status_header = X-spam-score-int: -?([[:digit:]]+) sieve_spamtest_status_type = score sieve_vacation_default_period = 10d sieve_vacation_max_period = 30d sieve_vacation_min_period = 1s } pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_fast_size_lookups = yes protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service anvil { client_limit = 5000 } service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user } service auth { client_limit = 5000 unix_listener auth_client { mode = 0660 user = exim } } service doveadm { client_limit = 10 inet_listener { address = * port = 4000 } process_limit = 100 process_min_avail = 10 service_count = 1 } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } process_limit = 500 process_min_avail = 10 service_count = 1 } service imap { executable = imap postlogin process_limit = 500 } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } process_limit = 20 process_min_avail = 10 service_count = 1 } service managesieve { process_limit = 1024 } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } process_limit = 1000 process_min_avail = 5 service_count = 1 } service pop3 { process_limit = 500 } service postlogin { executable = script-login -d rawlog } shutdown_clients = no ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecotl.com.pem ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/sql_users.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { imap_capability = +SPECIAL-USE mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = " quota virtual imap_quota" } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 20 mail_plugins = " quota virtual" } protocol lmtp { auth_username_format = %Lu mail_plugins = " quota virtual sieve quota" postmaster_address = mailer-daemon } ======= 8< ========== The below were searches in performed in the two mailboxes .. showing the found/not found status. search in vritual/all ? search header Message-ID < 5A8663D6.5000704(a)the-bryants.net <mailto:5A8663D6.5000704@the-bryants.net> > * SEARCH ?

Dovecot With DSpam AntiSpam Plugin Replacement With Sieve
by colinh＠nxtgn.com 25 Feb '18

25 Feb '18

Hello I have recently had to rebuild my email server, it is a small server for my various email accounts and I also host the email for a clients business. Switched to Dovecot from Courier many years ago, and it has been a very reliable solution With the new rebuild I have updated it to Dovecot 2.2.33.2 with PigeonHole 4.21, it runs DSpam 3.10.2 to scan and tag all incoming mails as Spam or not then a Sieve rule to put the Spam emails into the Spam folder, I was also using the DSpam Antispam plugin to enable moving messages from one folder to another to teach failures to DSpam, this works well for my and my client. Doing the rebuild I saw that the AntiSpam plugin had been deprecated and the preferred solution now was to use Sieve Filters, so I implemented that and had struggled with it for a few hours until I finally got it working. It may be something about my setup but I am not sure it is, but the suggested way of doing it here https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/AntispamWithSieve did not work for me and I don't think it was ever going to. Here are the shell scripts and sieve filters that I came up with that work for me, your mileage may vary. I use DSpam as a standalone binary not as a daemon so you may need to add the --client option on the dspam command line in the shell scripts if you run DSpam in daemon mode. === report-spam.sieve === require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve", "environment", "variables"]; if environment :matches "imap.user" "*" { set "userid" "${1}"; if header :matches "X-DSPAM-Signature" "*" { set "signature" "${1}"; } } pipe :copy "learn-spam.sh" [ "${userid}", "${signature}" ]; === report-ham.sieve === require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve", "environment", "variables"]; if environment :matches "imap.mailbox" "*" { set "mailbox" "${1}"; } if string "${mailbox}" "Trash" { stop; } if environment :matches "imap.user" "*" { set "userid" "${1}"; if header :matches "X-DSPAM-Signature" "*" { set "signature" "${1}"; } } pipe :copy "learn-ham.sh" [ "${userid}", "${signature}" ]; === learn-spam.sh === #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/dspam --user ${1} --signature=${2} --class=spam --source=error === learn-ham.sh === #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/dspam --user ${1} --signature=${2} --class=innocent --source=error I hope this saves someone some time or gives someone some tips -- Regards Colin

Remove "Duplicate" emails
by ＠lbutlr 24 Feb '18

24 Feb '18

In a quest to remove “duplicate” messages sent to both me and lists I subscribe to I came up with this, which I think should clean out my Archive folder, but I’ve been unable to get it to work for scanning all on my list-user email. $ doveadm -f table fetch -u kremels 'hdr.message-id guid uid hdr.x-listname' mailbox "Archive" | sort| awk 'cnt[$1]++{if (cnt[$1]==2) print prev[$1]; print} {prev[$1]=$0}' |grep -E "[0-9] +$" |awk '{print "doveadm expunge -u kremels MAILBOX-GUID "$2" UID "$3}’ X-listname is a header that my list user applies to each message that comes from a list, and the output is just text to the screen that I can then run manually (I am not confident enough to automatically delete the messages). I include the X-listname header at the end so that I can exclude lines that don’t end in a number, which means the copies sent directly to me are the ones expunged and the ones from the list are preserved. So far so good. But ther are issues. First, even after expunging a message and running doveadm index -u kremels “Archive”, subsequent runs still show the same duplicate messages. Second, what I really want to do is run this over ALL the mailboxes, except for Junk and Sent but if that is possible I can’t find the right syntax. -- "He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire."

Stale mailbox lock file
by Raffaele Gambelli 24 Feb '18

24 Feb '18

Hi all, I would like to understand the meaning of "Stale mailbox lock file detected" In index-storage.c (https://mis.dopa.go.th/atmail/server_source/dovecot/src/lib-storage/index/i…) there is this notice "Stale mailbox lock file detected" ... I have a java application which connects via javamail to a dovecot server and I have some anomalies when that message comes. Thanks, bye Raffaele Gambelli

dovecot auth and horde webmail
by David Mehler 24 Feb '18

24 Feb '18

Hello, I'm not sure if this is a Dovecot-specific question, or Postfix or Horde webmail. As Dovecot is used for authenticating both Postfix as well as horde I thought i'd start here. I've got a new horde webmail install going on a FreeBSD 11.1 jail. I've got Dovecot set up so that it appends a domain name if one is not given, so that user and user(a)example.com can both log in. When I logged in with horde webmail I used for the first attempt username with no @example.com suffix. I logged in ok, but couldn't send an email, gave me a weird error no address associated with host. I logged out, logged back in using user(a)example.com the full address, and this time the message sending went through. Any ideas or if this is not a Dovecot question let me know, as that means I'll have two other places to try. Thanks.

Optimizing search performance for mobile devices / web mailer / general - solr plugin config
by Götz Reinicke 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Hi all, we run dovecot for a long time now with no complains from the users … until this week. Some users say, the search in mailfolders from iPhone (which only stores a few mails and search most on the server as I know) or our web mailer (SOGo, which I currently search also on the imap server) is „slow“. As this is sort of individual experience, I was thinking of ways to speed up the search and came across the fts_solr plugin. My question is, can I „just“ configure the its_solg plugin as described at the dovecot wiki? https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr <https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Solr> How difficult is is to set up a solr server for that purpose? As our current mail hardware is not busy at all, is it ok to install Solr on the same hardware/server? May be someone using that setup can give me some hints? And: How hard is it to switch back to the „build in“ default search if we don’t see any benefit from hosting a solr server too. Thanks for feedback and suggestions . Regards . Götz

Multiple SSL-Certificates/Domains setup not working
by Gabriel Kaufmann 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

I've tried setting up multiple SSL-Certificates (using letsencrypt) for dovecot on my ubuntu machine. Used dovecot version is 2.2.18. Regarding to official docs this should be working. My test-client (Thunderbird on linux) has been mentioned to be working fine with SNI here: https://wiki.dovecot.org/SSL/SNIClientSupport https://wiki.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration#line-89 > local_name imap.example.org { > ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/imap.example.org.crt > ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/imap.example.org.key > } > local_name imap.example2.org { > ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/imap.example2.org.crt > ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/imap.example2.org.key > } Did anyone have success on this (without using multiple IP per Domain)? -- Best regards Gabriel Kaufmann

Auth SEGV on sparc64, alignment problem?
by Chris Ross 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Apologies first for using two addresses, but I can’t currently read my email at distal.com. :-) I was previously running dovecot2-2.2.29.1_2 on FreeBSD 11 on sparc64. Trying to debug a problem I was having with one of my clients, I upgraded to dovecot-2.2.33.2_4 on that same server. However, I cannot connect now, log shows: Feb 20 16:55:00 westeros dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec) starting up for imap, pop3, lmtp Feb 20 16:55:31 westeros dovecot: auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child 25395 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Feb 20 16:55:31 westeros dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs Feb 20 16:55:31 westeros dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 0 secs): user=<>, rip=2001::xxx, lip=2001:470:e24c:200::ae25, TLS handshaking, session=<ASDFSAFSADFSAD> Feb 20 16:55:33 westeros dovecot: auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child 25398 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Feb 20 16:55:33 westeros dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 4 secs Feb 20 16:55:33 westeros dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 2 secs): user=<>, rip=2001::xxx, lip=2001:470:e24c:200::ae25, session=<d46tyesdy5dsyd> Feb 20 16:55:37 westeros dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 8 secs Feb 20 16:55:37 westeros dovecot: auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child 25400 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Loading the core file, as described https://www.dovecot.org/bugreport.html , shows the error in libc somewhere: (gdb) bt full #0 __unaligned_load ( p=0x617070656e640e6d <Address 0x617070656e640e6d out of bounds>, size=4) at /usr/src/release-11.1.0/lib/libc/sparc64/sys/__sparc_utrap_align.c:45 val = 0 i = 0 #1 0x00000000109f9f6c in __unaligned_fixup (uf=0x7fdffffee40) at /usr/src/release-11.1.0/lib/libc/sparc64/sys/__sparc_utrap_align.c:78 addr = <value optimized out> val = <value optimized out> insn = 3254807616 sig = <value optimized out> #2 0x00000000109f9d50 in __sparc_utrap (uf=0x7fdffffee40) at /usr/src/release-11.1.0/lib/libc/sparc64/sys/__sparc_utrap.c:100 sig = 272013984 #3 0x000000001094a10c in __sparc_utrap_gen () from /lib/libc.so.7 No symbol table info available. #4 0x000000001094a10c in __sparc_utrap_gen () from /lib/libc.so.7 No symbol table info available. Previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?) (gdb) As this is a sparc64, with 8-byte alignment requirements, I’m guessing that’s the issue. Many a piece of software has failed to respect that and crashed. But, I’m not sure. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve built it locally (via ports), so if there are compiler options I can/should try, I certainly can try. Thanks… - Chris

Constant IMAP timeouts/dropouts
by H.E. 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Hello, I've searched and searched for a solution to this problem but continue to come up empty. I have a very generic setup. CentOS Linux 7.3.1611 running on AWS. I installed the QMail toaster from here: http://www.qmailtoaster.com/ ( I had been using Bill Shupp's Qmail Toaster for years and years, but he stopped supporting it.) As such, I did have to convert my Courier mailboxes to Dovecot (no real problem there). I'm using Thunderbird client on Windows and Mac. I have one user (me) using two vpopmail domains with a total of three mailboxes. Each mailbox has about 20 folders which I tag in Thunderbird as "When getting new messages for this account, always check this folder". I might have two or three client machines (at different locations) running at once (desktop and two notebooks) all trying to get mail. The problem is I can't go 5 minutes without Dovecot timing out on me, returning an error in Thunderbird: "Login to server failed" and asks to "enter new password, cancel, or retry" options, or just hanging. The only way to get Dovecot back is to bounce both dovecot and the network via: /bin/systemctl restart dovecot.service ; /bin/systemctl restart network Then I can resume normal activities for a while. It got so bad that I put the above restarts into a cron job running every 5 minutes. But even then the problem persists after a couple of minutes. There's nothing else running on this box. I've already increased both mail_max_userip_connections = 8000 and: protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 8000 mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota" } By the way, the the identical mailbox and client setup, I never had this problem with Courier IMAP. My dovecot -n is pasted below. So I'm at a loss on how to fix this. I have tried adjusting the number of cached Thunderbird connections, and that doesn't change anything. Any help or pointers in the right direction to keep Dovecot connected would be most helpful. Thanks, -hank Here is my dovecot -n # 2.2.24 (a82c823): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) auth_cache_size = 64 M auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 first_valid_gid = 89 first_valid_uid = 89 log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log login_greeting = Dovecot toaster ready. mail_max_userip_connections = 8000 mail_plugins = " quota" namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . type = private } passdb { args = cache_key=%u webmail=127.0.0.1 driver = vpopmail } plugin { quota = maildir:ignore=Trash quota_rule = ?:storage=0 } protocols = imap ssl_cert = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048 ssl_key = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem userdb { args = cache_key=%u quota_template=quota_rule=*:backend=%q driver = vpopmail } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 8000 mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota" } protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_fast_size_lookups = yes pop3_lock_session = yes }

I'm using SSL for dovecot, and dovecot kindly warned me on startup that I needed the ssl_dh parameter, which I specified: # grep -P '^ssl_dh' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf ssl_dh = </etc/dovecot/dh.pem And I generated the file, as specified in the comment: # openssl dhparam -out /etc/dovecot/dh.pem 4096 The file contains the appropriate headers: # grep -P '^\-' /etc/dovecot/dh.pem -----BEGIN DH PARAMETERS----- -----END DH PARAMETERS----- However, when I restart dovecot (`systemctl restart dovecot`) I get the following error: lmtp(8221): Error: SSL context initialization failed, disabling SSL: Couldn't parse DH parameters: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line: Expecting: DH PARAMETERS This message repeats 5 times (presumably for each dovecot service?). In /var/log/dovecot/imap.log, I see the same error. I even gave permission to the `dh.pem` file for the *vmail* user and group, but that didn't seem to change anything. Any ideas? Thanks.

Authenticating pam and and sql
by ＠lbutlr 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

When a sql user logs in, dovecot always tries pam first (used for the local users with home directories) which generates a login failure in the log, before trying sql (virtual users) and allowing the user to login. Since all the pam users login as 'user' and all the sql users login as 'user(a)example.com' is it possible to tell dovecot which method to check based on the username pattern? It's not a big deal, but these errors show up when I am checking my maillog for problems, and I can't really exclude them since I do want to see actual login failures.

"Stale mailbox lock file detected, will override in 0 seconds"
by Raffaele Gambelli 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Hi all dovecot members, I've received this notice from a dovecot server: "Stale mailbox lock file detected, will override in 0 seconds" I would like to know what it means. I've implemented a "Mail Proxy Server" in java, which connects to many accounts and folders, listening for incoming messages or deleted one, it uses the IMAP protocol. I received that message only 5 times in 60 days of logs, last time, in the same time lapse my server has not received three messages, saying differently, the listener (I'm using Javamail which works fine) has not be notified about those new threee messages. So, I would like to find a link between the above dovecot message and the "black-out" which I had, could you help me please? Thanks, bye Raffaele Gambelli WebRainbow® Software Analyst & Developer

exim dovecot sieve
by himbeere＠shinymail.de 22 Feb '18

Hello list. I have just a generic question. Exim delivers fine to dovecot-lda. My problems are the logfiles. Whenever I recieve a message Exim writes to dovecot.log as the user who recieves the mail. This forces me to have that logfile world writeable. I don't really like that. How do you guys deal with that? Here my transport: dovecot_delivery: driver = pipe # You may or may not want to add -d $local_part@$domain depending on if you need a userdb lookup done. command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f $sender_address message_prefix = message_suffix = log_output delivery_date_add envelope_to_add return_path_add #group = mail #mode = 0660 temp_errors = 64 : 69 : 70: 71 : 72 : 73 : 74 : 75 : 78 thanks and best regards t.

Shared folders and quota
by Fabian Kuran 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

Hi all, we are able to observe a very strange behaviour: User A wants to copy a mail to a shared mailbox of user B. This works like a charme if the quota of user A is lower than the used space of user B. But is the used space of user B higher than the quota size of User A, "User A" is not longer able to copy the message to the shared folder of user B. His IMAP Client says something like "NO OVERQUOTA". # doveadm quota get -u UserA Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 20085 25600 78 User quota MESSAGE 68 - 0 # doveadm quota get -u UserB Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 39963 122880 32 User quota MESSAGE 160 - 0 Is this a known behaviour of dovecot? Is there a way to "disable" quota-handling for shared folders? This is my doveconf -n": # 2.2.30.2 (c0c463e): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.18 (29cc74d) # OS: SLES12SP3 auth_debug = yes auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.debug dict { sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 480 lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes mail_debug = yes mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/user/%n/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs mail_plugins = acl quota stats listescape notify virtual mail_privileged_group = vmail mail_uid = dovecot 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 { hidden = yes inbox = yes list = no location = prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes } namespace { list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEXPVT=~/shared/%%u:LAYOUT=fs prefix = user/%%n/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace Public { list = children location = maildir:/var/mail/%d/public:INDEXPVT=~/public:LAYOUT=fs prefix = Public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } namespace inbox { inbox = no 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 = / subscriptions = no type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/masteruser.%s driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } plugin { acl = vfile acl_anyone = allow acl_shared_dict = file:/var/spool/mail/%d/shared-mailboxes.db quota = dict:User quota::proxy::sqlquota quota_rule = *:storage=4G quota_rule2 = INBOX/Trash:storage=+100M quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 552 5.2.2 Mailbox is over quota / Mailbox ist voll quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /var/spool/mail/globalsieve/duplicate.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_duplicate_max_period = 5m stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)domain.de protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth-worker { user = dovecot } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = dovecot } } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login /var/mail/imapafter.sh user = $default_internal_user } service imap { executable = imap } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service quota-status { client_limit = 1 executable = quota-status -p postfix inet_listener { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 10000 } } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh group = vmail unix_listener quota-warning { group = vmail user = dovecot } user = dovecot } service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { mode = 0600 user = dovecot } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/domain.de.pem ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = acl quota stats listescape notify virtual acl quota sieve quota_full_tempfail = yes } protocol lda { mail_plugins = acl quota stats listescape notify virtual acl sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl quota stats listescape notify virtual imap_quota imap_acl imap_stats } -- Kind regards, Fabian
