dovecot log shows: service=imap ... Error: Temp file creation to /tmp/dovecot.imap. failed: No such directory

I am using dovecot 2.2 with plesk 12 and I have made no modifications to the dovecot config. Logwatch reports the messages below. The errors don't seem to appear for every imap connect as can be seen from the number of deliveries and successful logins. So what makes dovecot fail sometimes to create the /tmp/dovecot.imap? Dovecot Deliveries: 19 Dovecot IMAP and POP3 Successful Logins: 106 Dovecot disconnects: 72 **Unmatched Entries** dovecot: message repeated 4 times: [ service=imap, user=tester(a)example.com, ip=[::1].

Problem with Pigeonhole/Sieve

Michael Segel <dovecot_mjs(a)hotmail.com> writes: > Which is preferred? MailDir or Mbox? (directory vs flat file) Mailbox; I wish I converted when I had the chance. The only benefits I can see with mbox is that it's slightly less complicated, and if you're doing pattern searching or some global mailbox operation, less I/O intensive, but that's a niche case and usually ameliorated by indices. However, backing up mbox is a pain since changes results in the entire file being backed up for snapshotting filesystems, and atomicity of I/O operations is much harder. It just doesn't scale well for large mailboxes. As Aki recommends, use something other than mbox unless you got some legacy issue. > How would you do this when migrating from an old server to a new one? Lots of third party scripts out there that will convert for you. I think you can do dovecot->dovecot dsync to convert. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

migrate Maildir to mdbox
by Tamas Papp 02 May '17

02 May '17

Hi, I replaced HDDs in my home server and reinstalled the OS (Ubuntu 17.04). Since I had some time I reviewed my Dovecot configuration and changed a couple of things, including mailbox format. Now I would like to migrate e-mail (about 20G -- I use this server as an e-mail archive). The Maildir is available on the (old) hard disk. The new dovecot is running. What should I use? Would mbsync work? I would prefer a solution that does not mess up the UUIDs, but I can live with that too. $ dovecot --version 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) Incidentally, would you recommend sdbox or mdbox? Lots of e-mails, many of them have large attachments. best, Tamas

Issue with parsing of forwarded messages with attachments and quotes in the subject
by Giovanni Salvatore Fois 02 May '17

02 May '17

Hi all, at work we use Roundcube acting as a mail client for the Dovecot Imap server. In Roundube the messages are parsed through the Imap BODYSTRUCTURE command If a message contains forwarded messages and attachments and some of the messages contains a quote (") in the subject, then the resulting BODYSTRUCTURE appears to be malformed. --- After some digging through the code of Dovecot, it seems to me that the problem is related to the function: imap_append_string_for_humans defined at the line 120 of the file src/lib-imap/imap-quote.c (dovecot sources v. 2.2.29) Said function is supposed to return a quoted version of the input string while removing unwanted characters from the input data. But, if I call it with a string containing quotes as argument (eg: I am a lazy " programmer) in the resulting output the quotes aren't escaped and the output string is not quoted. ---- This is related to the stated issue through the function calls in: part_write_body [ defined at line 142 of imap-bodystructure.c ] which calls imap_envelope_write [defined at line 46 of imap-envelope.c] which finally calls imap_append_string_for_humans ---- Thank you for your time. Best regards, Giovanni S. Fois

most secure password scheme
by David Mehler 30 Apr '17

30 Apr '17

Hello, I have a few questions on password schemes. Is SHA512 the most secure? Is there a difference between SHA512 and SHA512-CRYPT? What about SSHA512 and SSH512-CRYPT? Is there a problem with this sql statement: UPDATE virtual_users SET password=CONCAT(‘{SHA256-CRYPT}’, ENCRYPT (‘Password Goes Here’, CONCAT(‘$5$’, SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16)))) WHERE user=’user(a)example.xn--com-to0a; I'm getting an error 1064 at the ending email address. Thanks. Dave.

IMAP hibernate and scalability in general
by Christian Balzer 30 Apr '17

30 Apr '17

Hello, as some may remember, we're running very dense IMAP cluster here, in excess of 50k IMAP sessions per node (current record holder is 68k, design is for 200k+). The first issue we ran into was that the dovecot master process (which is single thread and thus a bottleneck) was approaching 100% CPU usage (aka using a full core) when trying to spawn off new IMAP processes. This was rectified by giving IMAP a service count of 200 to create a pool of "idling" processes eventually, reducing the strain for the master process dramatically. That of course required generous cranking up ulimits, FDs in particular. The next issues of course is (as mentioned before) the memory usage of all those IMAP processes and the fact that quite a few things outside of dovecote (ps, etc) tend to get quite sedate when dealing with tens of thousands of processes. We just started to deploy a new mailbox cluster pair with 2.2.27 and having IMAP hibernate configured. Getting this work is a PITA though with regards to ownership and access rights to the various sockets, this part could definitely do with some better (I know, difficult) defaults or at least more documentation (none besides the source and this ML). Initial results are very promising, depending on what your clients are doing (are they well behaved, are your users constantly looking at other folders, etc) the vast majority of IDLE processes will be in hibernated at any given time and thus not only using a fraction of the RAM otherwise needed but also freeing up process space. Real life example: 240 users, 86 imap processes (80% of those not IDLE) and: dovecot 119157 0.0 0.0 10452 3236 ? S Apr01 0:21 dovecot/imap-hibernate [237 connections] That's 237 hibernated connections and thus less processes than otherwise. I assume that given the silence on the ML what we are going to be the first hibernate users where the term "large scale" does apply. Despite that I have some questions, clarifications/confirmations: Our current default_client_limit is 16k, which can be seen by having 5 config processes on our 65k+ session node. ^_- This would also apply to imap-hibernate, one wonders if that's fine (config certainly has no issues) or if something smaller would be appropriate here? Since we have idling IMAP processes around most of the time, the strain of re-spawning proper processes from imap-hibernate should be just as reduced as for the dovecot master, correct? I'll keep reporting our experiences here, that is if something blows up spectacularly. ^o^ Christian -- Christian Balzer Network/Systems Engineer chibi(a)gol.com Global OnLine Japan/Rakuten Communications http://www.gol.com/

Hello, Can I get a sanity check on this configuration? It's a database setup of Dovecot 2.2 with Postfix. I'm having issues and i'd like to know if there's anything glaringly wrong with my configuration? With the password hash situation, should I go with SHA512, SHA512-CRYPT or the SSHA512-CRYPT? Thanks.

We are running dovecot 2.2.27 on solaris 10 and have several hundred accounts with this map inconsistency: Apr 27 12:51:06 <servername> dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.warning] lda(<userid>): Warning: mdbox /<storage-path>: Inconsistency in map index (10,29152 != 10,63560) The users of these accounts can't delete or move mails and often have trouble logging in or lags, because dovecot will try to fix the error and possibly disconnect them at any action. The warning does not occur on every action (imap/pop3 or lda). We did not have a hard reboot or any hardware trouble out of the ordinary (the machine is old and intermittently under higher load). After a variable length of time with these warnings the user accounts develop the following error: Apr 26 22:50:09 <servername> dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.error] imap(<userid>@): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=28,offset=117000 for /<storage-path>/dovecot.map.index: Extension record inc drops number below zero (uid=<uid>, diff=-1, orig=0) force-resync did not help at any stage of the problem and only got the index to continually count up. The only solution we found through which we could save the users flags is to copy the mdbox-files, delete the originals, and then re-import the copy into the user's account via doveadm import.

Pigeonhole / Bug with "duplicate" ?
by Gilles Chauvin 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

Hello, Previously, while running Dovecot 2.2.27/Pigeonhole 0.4.16 the following code snippet was working as one would expect: if duplicate { addflag ["\\seen", "Duplicate"]; fileinto "Duplicate"; stop; } if address :contains "to" "user.email(a)example.com" { addflag "$label1"; } After upgrading to Dovecot 2.2.29.1/Pigeonhole 0.4.18 it's not working anymore. When an e-mail is sent to the user the "$label1" isn't applied at all to the message (in the case it's NOT a duplicate). Downgrading to Dovecot 2.2.29.1/Pigeonhole 0.4.17 exposes the same incorrect behaviour. Downgrading to Dovecot 2.2.29.1/Pigeonhole 0.4.16 is OK. When running pigeonhole 0.4.17 & 0.4.18, commenting the "if duplicate {}" block restores the expected behaviour. Looks like a bug that appeared in 0.4.17? Am I correct? Kind regards, Gilles.

Problems with Dovecot to mysql socket with SELinux
by Robert Moskowitz 26 Apr '17

26 Apr '17

Anyone here running Dovecot connecting to mysql through the mysql.sock with SELinux enabled? I am getting access errors that go away when I put SELinux in permissive mode. I cannot find any direct help on this. Most howtos say to disable SELinux; they just don't want to bother, and in part I can see that. I have tried making a policy with allow2access and I get really bad SELinux errors with that. So I am looking to see if anyone else is running this combination? thanks

Hi, I've very old Dovecot version so I'm trying to migrate new disk and current version of dovecot. But POP3 accounts have "version 1" .INBOX/dovecot-uidlist files so clients download the messages again. How can achieve not to download to mailbox after copy to new disk? Is there any script or something to migrate index v1 to v3? thanks for your suggestions.

fts error recovery
by Daniel Miller 25 Apr '17

25 Apr '17

When a message is received, that is supposed to be added to the fts index, and an fts error occurs (like the Solr server is offline for some reason) - Dovecot logs that error and stores the message. Later, the fts system is available and new messages are added to the fts index without issue. Will the "missed" messages get added? Or would this require a manual re-indexing? -- Daniel

Host ... is being updated before previous update had finished

We just had a bunch of backend boxes go down due to a DDoS in our director cluster. When the DDoS died down, our director ring was a mess. Each box had thousands (and hundreds per second, which is a bit much) of log lines like the following: Apr 03 19:59:29 director: Warning: director(10.1.20.10:9090/left): Host 10.1.17.15 is being updated before previous update had finished (up -> down) - setting to state=down vhosts=100 Apr 03 19:59:29 director: Warning: director(10.1.20.10:9090/left): Host 10.1.17.15 is being updated before previous update had finished (down -> up) - setting to state=up vhosts=100 Apr 03 19:59:29 director: Warning: director(10.1.20.10:9090/left): Host 10.1.17.15 is being updated before previous update had finished (up -> down) - setting to state=down vhosts=100 Apr 03 19:59:29 director: Warning: director(10.1.20.10:9090/left): Host 10.1.17.15 is being updated before previous update had finished (down -> up) - setting to state=up vhosts=100 Apr 03 19:59:29 director: Warning: director(10.1.20.10:9090/left): Host 10.1.17.15 is being updated before previous update had finished (up -> down) - setting to state=down vhosts=100 Apr 03 19:59:29 director: Warning: director(10.1.20.2:9090/right): Host 10.1.17.15 is being updated before previous update had finished (down -> up) - setting to state=up vhosts=100 Apr 03 19:59:29 director: Warning: director(10.1.20.2:9090/right): Host 10.1.17.15 is being updated before previous update had finished (up -> down) - setting to state=down vhosts=100 Apr 03 19:59:29 director: Warning: director(10.1.20.2:9090/right): Host 10.1.17.15 is being updated before previous update had finished (down -> up) - setting to state=up vhosts=100 Apr 03 19:59:29 director: Warning: director(10.1.20.2:9090/right): Host 10.1.17.15 is being updated before previous update had finished (up -> down) - setting to state=down vhosts=100 Apr 03 19:59:29 director: Warning: director(10.1.20.2:9090/right): Host 10.1.17.15 is being updated before previous update had finished (down -> up) - setting to state=up vhosts=100 This was on every director box and the status of all of the directors in 'doveadm director ring status' was 'handshaking'.

I'm happy to provide the full tcpdump (and/or doveconf -a), though the tcpdump is basically all identical the one I pasted (same hash, same host). This seems pretty fragile. There should be some sort of tie break for that, instead of bringing the entire cluster to its knees. Or just drop the backend host completely. Or something, anything besides hosing things pretty badly. This is 2.2.27, on both the directors and backend. If the answer is upgrade to 2.2.28, then I'll upgrade immediately. I see commit a9ade104616bbb81c34cc6f8bfde5dab0571afac mentions the same error but the commit predates 2.2.27 by a month and a half. In the meantime, is there any doveadm command I could've done to fix this? I tried removing the host (doveadm director remove 10.1.17.15) but that didn't do anything. I didn't think to try to flush the mapping for that user till just now. I suspect that with the ring unsync'd, flushing the user wouldn't have helped. The only remedy was to kill dovecot on every box in the director cluster and then (with dovecot down on *all* of them) start dovecot back up. Restarting each director's dovecot (with other directors' dovecots still running) did nothing. Only by brining the entire cluster down did dovecot stop furiously logging "Host ... is being updated before previous update had finished" on every director host. Any advice is most welcome.

System load spike on dovecot reload
by dave＠evilcigi.eu 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hi everyone, I'm running dovecot with quite a lot of users and lots of active imap connections (like 20'000). I'm using different user IDs for users, so I need to have imap {service_count=1} - i.e. I have a lots of imap processes running. Everything works fine, until I reload dovecot configuration. When that happen, every client is forced to relogin in the same time and that causes a huge system load spike (2-3000 5 min load). I was thinking that it would be great, if dovecot wouldn't kick all the users in the same time during reload, but somehow gradually, during specified interval. I'm aware of the shutdown_clients directive that could help, but I don't like it - I do want the clients get disconnected on dovecot shutdown and also I want them to relogin in reasonably short time after reload. Is something like that possible with dovecot or does it make sense to implement that in the future versions? Thank you. Dave.

Feature Request - Director Balance
by Webert de Souza Lima 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hi, often I run into the situation where a dovecot server goes down for maintenance, and all users get concentrated in the remaining dovecot server (considering I have 2 dovecot servers only). When that dovecot server comes back online, director server will send new users to it, but the dovecot server that was up all the time will still have tons of clients mapped to it. I suggest the director servers to always try to balance load between servers, in the way: - if a server has several more connections than other, mark it to re-balance - when a user connected to this loaded server disconnects, map it to another server (that is per definition not the same server) immediately. that way it would gracefully re-balance, not killing existing connections, just waiting for them to finish. Thank you for your time. Webert Lima MAV Tecnologia Belo Horizonte, Brasil.

Dovecot 2.3 ?
by Reuben Farrelly 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hi, Is anyone here running dovecot-2.3 from hg? I'm just interested in finding out how people are going with it, how stable is it and are there any interesting features that make it worth spending time looking at. I'm in a position where I can test with semi-live data (backed up and moderately important but not mission critical) but before I take the plunge I'd like to find out what the general consensus is. I see pretty much all bugfixes from 2.2 are going into 2.3 as well... Is there any timeframe on a beta release? Thanks, Reuben

Public Folder Problems
by Kevin 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hi, I've been trying to get a Public Folder namespace working, so far without any luck. I've tried in my home folder, outside my home folder, with and without acl. I can see the namespace (PUBLIC) in Roundcube, but that's as far as I get. I've put a .FirstFolder under the location, but it never appears. I've added dirs cur, new, and tmp but no difference. No hints from the maillog.

[BUG] client state / Message count mismatch with imap-hibernate and mixed POP3/IMAP access
by Christian Balzer 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hello, this is on Debian Jessie box, dovecot 2.2.27 from backports, imap-hibernate obviously enabled. I've been seeing a few of these since starting this cluster (see previous mail), they all follow the same pattern, a user who accesses their mailbox with both POP3 and IMAP deletes mails with POP3 and the IMAP (imap-hibernate really) is getting confused and upset about this: --- Apr 6 09:55:49 mbx11 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<redacted(a)gol.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.x.46, lip=xxx.xxx.x.113, mpid=951561, secured, session=<2jBV+HRM1Pbc9w8u> Apr 6 10:01:06 mbx11 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<redacted(a)gol.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.x.46, lip=xxx.xxx.x.41, mpid=35447, secured, session=<uZw7C3VM9vfc9w8u> Apr 6 10:01:07 mbx11 dovecot: pop3(redacted(a)gol.com): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=1/1, size=20674 session=<uZw7C3VM9vfc9w8u> Apr 6 10:01:07 mbx11 dovecot: imap(redacted(a)gol.com): Error: imap-master: Failed to import client state: Message count mismatch after handling expunges (0 != 1) Apr 6 10:01:07 mbx11 dovecot: imap(redacted(a)gol.com): Client state initialization failed in=0 out=0 head=<0> del=<0> exp=<0> trash=<0> session=<2jBV+HRM1Pbc9w8u> Apr 6 10:01:15 mbx11 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<redacted(a)gol.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.x.46, lip=xxx.xxx.x.113, mpid=993303, secured, session=<6QC6C3VMF/jc9w8u> Apr 6 10:07:42 mbx11 dovecot: imap-hibernate(redacted(a)gol.com): Connection closed in=85 out=1066 head=<0> del=<0> exp=<0> trash=<0> session=<6QC6C3VMF/jc9w8u> --- Didn't see these errors before introducing imap-hibernate, but then again this _could_ be something introduced between 2.2.13 (previous generation of servers) and .27, but I highly doubt it. My reading of the log is that the original IMAP session (<2jBV+HRM1Pbc9w8u>) fell over and terminated, resulting in the client to start up a new session. If so and with no false data/state transmitted to the client it would be not ideal, but not a critical problem either. Would be delighted if Aki or Timo could comment on this. If you need any further data, let me know. Christian -- Christian Balzer Network/Systems Engineer chibi(a)gol.com Global OnLine Japan/Rakuten Communications http://www.gol.com/

How to query for headers by regexp?
by Ralf Hildebrandt 23 Apr '17

23 Apr '17

I need to find all mails with a certain numerical range in my quarantine: X-Spam-Status: No, score=4.5 tagged_above=2 required=4.6 ... Assume I'd be looking for 4.5-6.0; so I tried searching for doveadm import -u restore mdbox:/home/quarantine/mdbox "" \ mailbox INBOX header X-Spam-Status "No, score=4.5" doveadm import -u restore mdbox:/home/quarantine/mdbox "" \ mailbox INBOX header X-Spam-Status "No, score=4.6" etc. Which would only return 2 Mails, with score score=4.5 What am I doing wrong here? Can I search using regular expressions? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de | https://www.charite.de

imap service count>1 (was System load spike ...)
by Joseph Tam 21 Apr '17

21 Apr '17

> I'm running dovecot with quite a lot of users and lots of active imap > connections (like 20'000). I'm using different user IDs for users, so I > need to have imap {service_count=1} - i.e. I have a lots of imap > processes running. I had a misconception this service's service_count was non-adjustable. (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Services on imap service) service_count can be changed from 1 if only a single UID is used for mail users. This is improves performance, but it's less secure, because bugs in code may leak email data from another user's earlier connection. How easy would it be to implement a hybrid solution that maps all imap service for a unique UID to a single worker process. It would result in modest performance gain for busy servers, and data leakage security would be minimal. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Pipe to PHP script using Sieve Extprograms
by Thomas 21 Apr '17

21 Apr '17

Hello, I seem to be having some issues trying to setup a pipe to PHP scripts using Sieve Extprograms. I am trying to allow each individual mailbox to setup its own PHP pipe rules (in other words, each user should be able to pipe incoming emails to a user defined PHP script). I have the following lines in my main Sieve configuration file (/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf): sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.execute sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms I have configured a Sieve service that looks like this (/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve-extprograms.conf): service php { # Define the executed script as parameter to the sieve service executable = /var/run/dovecot/sieve-pipe/php.sh # Use some unprivileged user for executing the program user = dovenull # The unix socket located in the sieve_pipe_socket_dir (as defined in the # plugin {} section above) unix_listener sieve-pipe/php { # LDA/LMTP must have access user = vmail mode = 0600 } } Contents of /var/run/dovecot/sieve-pipe/php.sh: #!/usr/bin/php Sieve script for one of my mailboxes: require ["fileinto", "regex", "date", "relational", "vacation"]; require ["mailbox", "imap4flags", "vnd.dovecot.pipe"]; # Move spam to spam folder if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Junk"; # Stop here so that we do not reply on spams stop; } pipe :try "php /var/www/web2/piping.php support(a)example.com" keep; This results however in the following error in my log file: main script: line 5: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability `vnd.dovecot.pipe'. main script: line 14: error: unknown command 'pipe' (only reported once at first occurence). main script: error: validation failed.

20 Apr '17

Hi, i am using dovecot-2.2.10-7.el7.x86_64 on centos-release-7-3.1611.el7.centos.x86_64. if i follow this tutorial https://delog.wordpress.com/2011/05/10/access-imap-server-from-the-command-… i can login to my server and successfully list the folders using tag LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX tag OK List completed. no folders are listed using tag LIST / "*" tag OK List completed. when i request a folder listing using JavaMail it similarly sends the following command and no folders are listed a97 LIST / "*" a97 OK List completed. if i follow the tutorial again and use my gmail account instead of my dovecot installation i can successfully list folders using both methods tag LIST / "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "youtube" tag OK List completed. is there some way to make dovecot list folders when it receives the command LIST / "*" i note that in the listings my dovecot installation has "." in the middle and gmail has a "/"

JavaMail setFlags on readonly folder
by Gabriele Bulfon 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

Hi, I'm facing a strange issue using JavaMail, where Dovecot let me open "READ_WRITE" a folder with readonly ACLs (same happens on other imap servers), but then doesn't issue any error when if try to setFlags(...) on that folder. The result is that the code thinks the folder marked the messages (deleted, flagged, etc), while it actually did not. Just refreshing the folder from the java client, you get back your original messages as they were before the operation. Is there any known issue about this?

Using filter in an imapsieve script?
by Tobi 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

Hello list I currently have an issue with an imapsieve script on my dovecot server CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) Dovecot 2.2.26.0 (23d1de6) Pigeonhole 2.2.26.0 The goal is to "fire" an imapsieve script upon mailclient saves message to sent folder I setup the following in 90-plugin.conf: plugin { sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.filter +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.execute sieve_filter_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-filters sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-filters sieve_execute_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-filters sieve_filter_exec_timeout = 10000 sieve_pipe_exec_timeout = 10000 sieve_execute_exec_timeout = 10000 imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Sent imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/home/vmail/domain/user/dovecot-crypt-sent.sieve } and the content of the sieve script is: require ["environment", "vnd.dovecot.filter", "variables", "imapsieve", "vnd.dovecot.pipe", "vnd.dovecot.execute"]; if anyof (environment :is "imap.cause" "APPEND", environment :is "imap.cause" "COPY") { filter "gpgit" "myuser(a)mydomain.tld"; } gpgit is a perl script that encrypts a given message using the users pub key and returns back the encrypted message As a sieve script for lmtp/lda it works fine and encrypted messages show up in the mailbox. But it does not work if it is used as imap sieve script There is nothing in the logs that indicates a problem with the imap sieve script. Is it possible that 'filter' is not supported for imapsieve as it changes the content of a message? Thanks for any hint tobi

RSA key not found
by Michael Segel 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

I’ve got a couple of issues with a new mail server set up… I’m getting the following error: warning: cannot get RSA certificate from file /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/<mycert>.pem: disabling TLS support The problem is that <mycert>.pem isn’t an RSA ticket, but a X509 certificate. The RSA ticket is in /etc/pki/dovecot/private directory. I checked both files and they are good certificates. I’m using webmin to manage my server. In webmin, the TLS certificate file is the X509 and the private key is the RSA file. So why does Postfix check the certificate link for the RSA file and not the X509? Thx -Mike

Adding secure POP3?
by ＠lbutlr 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

I have a working server that only allows connections over secure IMAP (port 993) and secured submission (587). However, I have one account that has been forwarding mail to gmail for many years and that is getting to be more and more of a problem as more large sites enforce DMARC. So, the only way that gmail will pull mail is via pop3, so I need to add pop3 access. 1) How do I add a secure (TLS) POP3 service to dovecot 2) can I restrict access to that to specific users? Domains? OT, but someone probably knows, is secured POP3 going to work with gmail? ===BEGIN passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } ===END I did read <https://wiki.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration> but it’s about adding ssl to an existing setup. -- Apple broke AppleScripting signatures in Mail.app, so no random signatures.

Dear Team I have faced issue with email downloading in the email client by using pop3 SSL port 995 in dovecot v2.1.17 for outlook client 2016 on production environment. As per my troubleshooting on my test environment, I have upgraded dovecot version v2.2.28, and changed paramer "ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048" and "verbose_ssl = yes", The issue seems to be resolved in dovecot v2.2.28. What can i do to resolve this issue in dovecot v2.1.17 in Production environment? Kindly help. Thanks a lot in advance. Regards, Bhushan Bhosale

my domain in both my destination and virtual_mailbox_domains?
by Michael Segel 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

I’m doing a new dovecot mail server for my domain. Here’s yet another thing I mucked up. I wanted to set up virtual mailboxes. One reason was that I wanted to set up virtual users for the domain so I don’t need to create user accounts just mail accounts. I followed one of the many examples / tutorials out there and I end up with the following warning message. postfix/trivial-rewrite[8818]: warning: do not list domain <machine>.<domain>.com in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains I checked my configuration, I don’t see where I’ve set up anything for mydestination in postfix. I’m trying to work thru the log file issues that I can find… this is just one more. To add to the confusion, I’m using webmin as my server admin UI to make life easier… yet it seems to much things up a bit Any suggestions? Thx -Mike

[Configuration question] Shared Folders: sql dict - missing information
by dovecot＠avv.solutions 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hello Community, I have implemented shared folders/acl using the 'file' driver sucessfully. Now, I want to move the shared folders information to my sql DB where I have moved all user/nets/quota information. I have read carefully the documentation (https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared) but, as far as I can see, only the $to and $from (+ dummy) are handled in the DB? I was expecting the same granularity (per folder + explicit rights) than found using the actual solution. Did I miss something? Or how should I implement this? (Running version 2.2.13) Than you already for your help and feedback. Cheers, A

v2.2.29.1 released
by Timo Sirainen 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.29.1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.29.1.tar.gz.sig Mainly because I had missed one cherry-pick from the release, which caused unit tests to also fail. And I didn't notice that, because make distcheck had been broken for some years now when it ran clang static analyzer, although I had assumed it would have run make check already before it failed.. On a related note, we're looking for a test engineer :) http://avoimettyopaikat.monster.fi/v2/job/View?JobID=182881783 - imapc reconnection fix was forgotten from 2.2.29 release, which also made "make check" fail in a unit test - dict-sql: Merging multiple UPDATEs to a single statement wasn't actually working. - Fixed building with vpopmail

several misc questions, public folders and sharing, quota, ssl
by David Mehler 15 Apr '17

15 Apr '17

Hello, I'm running dovecot 2.29 on a freebsd 10.3 system. I'm wanting to optimize how the system is running and have a few misc questions. First ssl, is my cipher list good? I'm trying for pfs and wanting to ensure these cipherlist is appropriate: ssl_cipher_list = EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH Next, a new feature that I'm trying for is virtual folders that store All messages. My understanding of this is that it stores a version of every received message in one place? I've got the virtual plugin loaded and have: mailbox virtual/All { comment = All my messages special_use = \All } I've got a directory /home/vmail/example.com/username/virtual under which is an ALL folder both directories are accessible to the vmail user, yet there's no contents in this folder and it's showing up nowhere. Next, quota warnings, are not being sent at all. I set up a testuser with a quota of 2 mb, then sent a message to that user getting the box to 95% full, and no message. Took the user overquota with the next message, still nothing, and a third message did trigger my custom quota exceeded message and the message was bounced. I'm wanting to implement public folders. My mailboxes are all virtual, and they are stored under /home/vmail/example.com/username and /home/vmail/example.org/username in the maildir format. I've got one user uid and gid of 999 name of vmail who owns all the mailboxes. I've separated out public folders storing them under /home/vmail/public. I've created one mailbox called TestFolder and new, cur, and tmp directories under it. This is what it looks like: ls -la /home/vmail/public total 24 drwx------ 4 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:23 ./ drwx------ 8 vmail vmail 512 Mar 15 10:34 ../ drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:16 TestFolder/ drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:25 TestFolder1/ -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 8 Apr 13 18:15 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 0 Apr 13 18:15 dovecot-uidvalidity.58eff89a -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 688 Apr 13 18:24 dovecot.list.index.log ls -la /home/vmail/public/TestFolder total 28 drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:16 ./ drwx------ 4 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:23 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:13 cur/ -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 51 Apr 13 18:16 dovecot-uidlist -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 304 Apr 13 18:16 dovecot.index.log drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:13 new/ drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:13 tmp/ ls -la /home/vmail/public/TestFolder1 total 20 drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:25 ./ drwx------ 4 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:23 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:25 cur/ drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:25 new/ drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 512 Apr 13 18:25 tmp/ The public/TestFolder is showing up fine and I can switch to it. The public/TestFolder1 is not showing up at all so I'm not seeing it and can't switch to it. Any ideas? My second question involves public folders and domain sharing. Are public folders accessible to all users and all domains? I've got two domains example.com and example.org i'd like to create a folder that some users in example.com can share with some users in example.org, not necessarily all users in those domains should be able to see the folders. Ideas welcome. Thanks.

Accessing Shared Mailbox, FQDN not appended to user
by Ed Nitido 15 Apr '17

15 Apr '17

Hey all long time, I recently upgraded Dovecot from 2.1.15 to 2.2.29.1 on my Debian Wheezy box and thought I'd tackle shared mailboxes. I can grant fine, using SETACL in telnet . SETACL mine vsun(a)test.domain.com lr . OK Setacl complete (0.596 + 0.000 + 0.595 secs). . GETACL mine * ACL mine vsun(a)test.domain.com lr edward(a)test.domain.com lrwstipekxacd However, logging in as vsun(a)test.domain.com, the logs shows the MASTER IN user doesn't get FQDN. Instead of edward(a)test.domain.com it just shows edward@test How come it only show's a partial domain? Thanks! Here's my config: # 2.2.29.1 (e0b76e3): /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.18 (29cc74d) # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64 i686 Debian 7.11 auth_debug = yes

Hello, I'm running dovecot 2.29 on a freebsd 10.3 system. I'm trying to cut down queries to my database and tried to do a userdb static and prefetch. I modified the password query to pull in userdb_quota and got an error that that was not valid. Is this behavior normal?

Trouble setting up dovecot/postfix/mysql with virtual mailboxes..
by Michael Segel 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Hi, I’m building a new linux box to replace my current DNS/Mail server for my SOHO. I was going to set up postfix/dovecot/mysql so I can support virtual users. I also use Webmin to make admin easier. I ran in to a couple of snags. When I first got it set up, mail went to the virtmail user and I could use my Mac mail client to read the mail. Everything was working when testing it. I was working on my TLS certificates and I broke something. I don’t know what I did, but now it’s going to the local mailbox instead. (MailDir folder) Since most of my time is doing other things, I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Thx

Trouble compiling 2.2.29.1
by Marc Perkel 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I run this: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-maintainer-mode --with-mysql and it forks thousands of copies of config.guess and will eventually lock up the computer. What am I doing wrong?

Can sieve feed mails to a pipe like procmail can?
by Peter Kielbasiewicz 13 Apr '17

13 Apr '17

Currently I use procmail to filter mails according to specific tokens and trigger certain actions. For that I feed mails which match certain criteria to a pipe which then post processes the mail right when it arrives. >From what I found I could use a workaround with sieve by storing mails somewhere and then work on those at certain intervals. But this is an awkward solution which causes delays and extra work for locking and post processing. I read that sieve be the more modern system but without the post-processing feature it is no replacement for procmail to me. Peter

Hello List, i have a working dovecot imap service running with multiple clients running fine, even iOS. What's anying is, that only on iOS ( ) i see a huge bunch of .CONTROL directories - marked grey. It seems to be a copy of the existing folder structure. I don't see this on thunderbird, outlook or even roundcube. Is there any chance to configure dovecot to hide those folders to iOS? Here's some extended Information....

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.18 for Dovecot v2.2.29.
by Stephan Bosch 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the definitive 0.4.18 release. There were no changes since the release candidate. Changelog v0.4.18: + imapsieve plugin: Implemented the copy_source_after rule action. When this is enabled for a mailbox rule, the specified Sieve script is executed for the message in the source mailbox during a "COPY" event. This happens only after the Sieve script that is executed for the corresponding message in the destination mailbox finishes running successfully. + imapsieve plugin: Added non-standard Sieve environment items for the source and destination mailbox. - multiscript: The execution of the discard script had an implicit "keep", rather than an implicit "discard". The release is available as follows: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18.t… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18.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

I'm trying to compile the latest Dovecot (v2.2.29) and when I run make I get this error: > auth-userdb-vpopmail.o: In function `userdb_vpopmail_get_quota': > /usr/local/src/dovecot-2.2.29/src/auth/userdb-vpopmail.c:64: undefined > reference to `var_expand_table_build' > collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status > Makefile:932: recipe for target 'auth' failed > make[3]: *** [auth] Error 1 > make[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/dovecot-2.2.29/src/auth' > Makefile:496: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed > make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/dovecot-2.2.29/src' > Makefile:619: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed > make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/dovecot-2.2.29' > Makefile:463: recipe for target 'all' failed > make: *** [all] Error 2 I'm using Debian Jessie and it's up to date. Just to make sure it wasn't something in Jessie I went back into v2.2.28 (which I've been using since it was released) and did a clean build successfully.

Please find and report any bugs before that. * When Dovecot encounters an internal error, it logs the real error and usually logs another line saying what function failed. Previously the second log line's error message was a rather uninformative "Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information." Now the real error message is duplicated in this second log line. * lmtp: If a delivery has multiple recipients, run autoexpunging only for the last recipient. This avoids a problem where a long autoexpunge run causes LMTP client to timeout between the DATA replies, resulting in duplicate mail deliveries. * config: Don't stop the process due to idling. Otherwise the configuration is reloaded when the process restarts. * mail_log plugin: Differentiate autoexpunges from regular expunges * imapc: Use LOGOUT to cleanly disconnect from server. * lib-http: Internal status codes (>9000) are no longer visible in logs * director: Log vhost count changes and HOST-UP/DOWN + quota: Add plugin { quota_max_mail_size } setting to limit the maximum individual mail size that can be saved. + imapc: Add imapc_features=delay-login. If set, connecting to the remote IMAP server isn't done until it's necessary. + imapc: Add imapc_connection_retry_count and imapc_connection_retry_interval settings. + imap, pop3, indexer-worker: Add (deinit) to process title before autoexpunging runs. + Added %{encrypt} and %{decrypt} variables + imap/pop3 proxy: Log proxy state in errors as human-readable string. + imap/pop3-login: All forward_* extra fields returned by passdb are sent to the next hop when proxying using ID/XCLIENT commands. On the receiving side these fields are imported and sent to auth process where they're accessible via %{passdb:forward_*}. This is done only if the sending IP address matches login_trusted_networks. + imap-login: If imap_id_retain=yes, send the IMAP ID string to auth process. %{client_id} expands to it in auth process. The ID string is also sent to the next hop when proxying. - fts-tika: Fixed crash when parsing attachment without Content-Disposition header. Broken by 2.2.28. - trash plugin was broken in 2.2.28 - auth: When passdb/userdb lookups were done via auth-workers, too much data was added to auth cache. This could have resulted in wrong replies when using multiple passdbs/userdbs. - auth: passdb { skip & mechanisms } were ignored for the first passdb - oauth2: Various fixes, including fixes to crashes - dsync: Large Sieve scripts (or other large metadata) weren't always synced. - Index rebuild (e.g. doveadm force-resync) set all mails as \Recent - imap-hibernate: %{userdb:*} wasn't expanded in mail_log_prefix - doveadm: Exit codes weren't preserved when proxying commands via doveadm-server. Almost all errors used exit code 75 (tempfail). - ACLs weren't applied to not-yet-existing autocreated mailboxes. - Fixed a potential crash when parsing a broken message header. - cassandra: Fallback consistency settings weren't working correctly. - doveadm director status <user>: "Initial config" was always empty - imapc: Various reconnection fixes.

How to use quota with dovecot
by Mik J 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Hello, I would like to use quotas with dovecot and things are not clear to me. I read this page https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota 1) I did this # ls /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so # grep mail_plugins /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf mail_plugins = notify replication quota Then the page tells about 20-imap.conf but an explanation is written # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). So what is that default global mail_plugins ? Is it the one coming from 10-mail.conf ? 2) I tried both use this mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota in 20-imap.conf or comment it. And restarted dovecot each time Then commented out in 90-quota.conf quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_grace = 10%% } But I have this message # doveadm quota recalc -u user(a)mydomain.org doveadm(user(a)mydomain.org): Error: Quota not enabled Does anyone knows why ?

How to migration my mails from another server ?
by Mik J 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Hello, I would like to host my mails and I would like to retrieve my existing mailbox content from my ISP My ISP ====== I don't have root access on the server The server seem to use Dovecot according to the banner. My machine ========== I have root access on the server I use Dovecot 2.2.21 I use Maildir I read this page multiple times but it's not clear to me https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync "Set up configuration for the IMAP server you wish to migrate from" Is it my ISP's server or my server ? In which configuration file should I do this ? The same for this option dsync_features = empty-header-workaroundwhere is it supposed to be configured ? My most important case is quite "simple": the mailboxes (there are 2 or 3) I want to migrate don't exist on my machine, so there is no such problems as merge existing mails. Will this migration use imap and retrieve the content of the mails ? Will it use port 143 or 993 ? I'll use the backup option I have another case which there are mails on both servers. So I would like to keep existing mails on my machine. I'll use the sync -1 option ? Thank you

[Bug] FTS invalid address parsing
by azurit＠pobox.sk 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Hi, i found another bug in FTS while parsing quoted-printable/base64-encoded sender's name inside 'From' header (again, i was figuring out why some of messages cannot be searched). Header: From: =?UTF-8?Q?A=2CB?= <test(a)example.com> Data send to Solr by Dovecot: <field name="from">A@, B &lt;test(a)example.com&gt;</field> Header: From: =?UTF-8?Q?A_B=2CC?= <test(a)example.com> Data send to Solr by Dovecot: <field name="from">A@</field> Header: From: =?UTF-8?B?QSBCLEMK?= <test(a)example.com> Data send to Solr by Dovecot: <field name="from">A@</field> Dovecot 2.2.27. azur

[Bug] FTS double escaping
by azurit＠pobox.sk 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Hi, i'm trying to resolve few problems with indexing 'From' headers using FTS/Solr. I was tcpdumping the communication between Dovecot and Jetty/Solr and noticed that 'From' headers, which includes also sender's name, are double escaped. This is what was Dovecot sending to Solr: </field><field name="from">Name Surname &lt;test(a)example.com&gt;</field></doc></add> As you can see, characters < and > were escaped to < and > which were, again, escaped to &lt; and &gt;. This is doing problems while trying to index whole e-mail address, as Solr sees it as '<test(a)example.com>'. I spend hours trying to figure out why i'm able to search in all parts of e-mail addresses but searching for full and exact e-mail address was successfull ONLY for messages which doesn't include sender's name in 'From' header. Finally, after i found this bug, this fixed all search problems: <filter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory" pattern="&lt;" replacement=""/> <filter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory" pattern="&gt;" replacement=""/> I hope that, at least, this bug, reported by me, will be fixed. Thank you. azur

sieve does not seem to be working
by Robert Moskowitz 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

my local.conf has: # 90-sieve.conf plugin { sieve_before = /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve } and cat /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve require ["fileinto","mailbox"]; if anyof ( header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES", header :contains "subject" "***SPAM***" ) { fileinto :create "Spam"; } There IS a globalfilter.svbin when I tried: sendmail -i testit3(a)test.htt-consult.com < sample-spam-GTUBE-junk.txt amavis is flagging it as ***Spam*** but it stays in inbox. So I tried: sieve-test -e -l /home/vmail/test.htt-consult.com/testit3/ /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve /home/vmail/test.htt-consult.com/testit3/cur/1491512409.M371278P6513.z9m9z.test.htt-consult.com\,S\=1823\,W\=1868\:2\, info: msgid=<GTUBE1.1010101(a)example.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'Spam'. sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success And it DID get copied to Spam, not moved. I am now seeing it in inbox and Spam. Of course ownership on the message in Spam were wrong (root:root instead of vmail:mail, but I fixed that). So two questions, probably linked: Why did sieve not work. Is the subject test case sensitive? If it is case sensitive, why did the sieve-test work? thanks

Pigeonhole Sieve Extprograms Plugin
by KT Walrus 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Just discovered the Pigeonhole Sieve Extprograms plugin (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Extprograms <https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Extprograms>)… I currently have Postfix configured to run a script to store all incoming messages into a Mysql DB and a batch job that retrieves the messages in the DB, processes them and delivers them to the recipients' Dovecot servers. Seems to me it might be better to have Postfix deliver all incoming messages directly to a single Dovecot mailbox and use this Sieve plugin to do the whole job of updating the DB, processing the message, and delivering to the recipients. Also, I have a need to implement updating the DB when the recipient reads a message for the first time (setting the \Seen flag). Would this work best to execute a script using this Sieve plugin from a IMAP Sieve script that watches for \Seen flag changes? This might be a whole lot better than the way I was thinking of doing it before. I’m basically implementing mailing lists where the senders receive a notification reply with a link to a web page where the message may be edited/deleted before it is sent to recipients (after a fixed amount of time has elapsed). This gives the sender the opportunity to change his mind before it is too late or to send to recipients immediately (by marking the message as Urgent). Also, even after the message has been sent out, I want to allow the sender to be able to delete it in the recipients mailboxes if they have not read it yet (downloaded it to their email client) or to see which recipients have read the message (and when they read/downloaded it for the first time). Both the sender and the recipients will have Dovecot mailboxes so I want to give more control over the messages for their entire lifetimes (both for senders and for recipients) than normal email does. Any thoughts? Kevin

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.18.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.29.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Hello Dovecot users, This is a rather small release. It fixes one important bug in the new discard script feature. It also adds a couple of new features for IMAPSieve. Changelog v0.4.18: + imapsieve plugin: Implemented the copy_source_after rule action. When this is enabled for a mailbox rule, the specified Sieve script is executed for the message in the source mailbox during a "COPY" event. This happens only after the Sieve script that is executed for the corresponding message in the destination mailbox finishes running successfully. + imapsieve plugin: Added non-standard Sieve environment items for the source and destination mailbox. - multiscript: The execution of the discard script had an implicit "keep", rather than an implicit "discard". The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Updating mysql db when messages first read by IMAP user
by KT Walrus 08 Apr '17

08 Apr '17

I need to implement updating a mysql db when the \SEEN flag is set by IMAP. New message delivery is done by having Postfix store all new inbound messages in a mysql db and a batch job watching the db for new messages and delivering them to the correct Dovecot server for the recipients. The batch job leaves a log entry in the db (for each recipient) with the current timestamp and adds a header with the log id to the outgoing message that is sent to Dovecot. The log table has a column for the first read timestamp which is set to 0 initially. I plan on implementing a Sieve IMAP script that watches for changes to the \SEEN flag and sends a mailto: notify message that contains the log id (from the message header) and the current date to a mail address dedicated for keep track of \SEEN flag changes. The notify message will be delivered to this mail address where a batch job watches that mail address and updates the db for the log id in the notify message with the timestamp and the current date if the row in the log table has a first read timestamp of 0. I plan on providing a web page that the sender can use to see whether the messages they have sent have been seen by the recipients. The web page will show other info too, but the part that I need to implement next is updating the db when a sent message has been read by the recipients of the message. Is this a good way to do this? Or, is there a better way than using an IMAP Sieve script to send notify messages? Is there any other way to have a Sieve script update a mysql database? Or, is there some other mechanism in Dovecot to use instead of an IMAP Sieve script? Kevin

IMAPSieve Changed flags cause?
by MRob 08 Apr '17

08 Apr '17

RFC 6785 says I should be able to run scripts when a command changes flags on a message but I can't understand what to put in imapsieve_mailboxXXX_causes. Dovecot logs something like STORE as an invalid cause. How do I run an administrator Sieve script caused from change in flags?

LAYOUT=fs and subfolders listing
by Dovecot＠9livesdata 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

dovecot-2.2.28-1.el6_31.wing.x86_64 I've created this public shared namespace with namespace public2 { type = public separator = . prefix = Public2. location = maildir:/mail/public2:INDEX=/mail/%u/public:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=.store subscriptions = no } and I'm using the "imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep" and filesystem structure listed at the end. The problem is that with this configuration thunderbird (and roundcubemail) shows the Public2 namespace but empty - without any folders. I've tried with another DIRNAME=StoR - same effect If I will not use DIRNAME at all(and no .stor directories) TB sees the f1 f2 folders but not the f2/s1 subfolder. Just like it would not list any subfolders for subscription. Within TB I can create subfolder say f1/mysub1 but after it's unsubscribed cannot be subscribed again(not shown in listing) Can You provide any hints? I can live without the DIRNAME= but it has to list subfolders for subscription. BTW: it works well without LAYOUT=fs - but it's kind of requirement here. /mail/public2/: drwxrwsr-x 4 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:07 f1 drwxrwsr-x 3 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:02 f2 /mail/public2/f1: -rw-r--r-- 1 root havemail 42 Apr 7 15:07 dovecot-acl -r--r--r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 14 2015 dovecot-shared -rw-rw-r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 15 2015 dovecot-uidlist drwxrwsr-x 3 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:02 s1 drwxrws--- 5 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:02 .store /mail/public2/f1/s1: -rw-r--r-- 1 root havemail 40 Oct 16 2015 dovecot-acl -r--r--r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 14 2015 dovecot-shared -rw-rw-r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 15 2015 dovecot-uidlist drwxrws--- 5 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:02 .store /mail/public2/f1/s1/.store: drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 cur drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 new drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 tmp /mail/public2/f1/.store: drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 cur drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 new drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 tmp /mail/public2/f2: -rw-r--r-- 1 root havemail 40 Oct 16 2015 dovecot-acl -r--r--r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 14 2015 dovecot-shared -rw-rw-r-- 1 nobody havemail 0 Oct 15 2015 dovecot-uidlist drwxrws--- 5 nobody havemail 4096 Apr 7 15:02 .store /mail/public2/f2/.store: drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 cur drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 new drwxrws--- 2 nobody havemail 4096 Oct 15 2015 tmp

Running sievec as user vmail
by Robert Moskowitz 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

My sieve problem ended up a permissions problem. I ran sievec as root and .svbin needs vmail:mail ownership. I could always just add the chown command to my process, but I wonder if there is some 'clean' way to run sievec as user vmail while logged in as root? thanks

Doubt with imap/imap-login processes in proxy server
by Angel L. Mateo 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

Hi, I have a question I have not cleared after reading https://wiki.dovecot.org/LoginProcess. I'm developing a proxy server (without director, because the backend server is specified by a ldap lookup). My question is: the limit of imap (or pop3) concurrently users that the proxy can handle is determined by the imap-login limit or the imap one? -- Angel L.

Spam instead of Junk folder
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Traditionally I have used 'Spam' as the folder name for all those emails that get tagged as, well Spam. But it seems that the standard is now 'Junk' as from 15-mailboxes.conf # Space separated list of IMAP SPECIAL-USE attributes as specified by # RFC 6154: \All \Archive \Drafts \Flagged \Junk \Sent \Trash #special_use = If I have in local.conf # 15-mailboxes.conf namespace inbox { mailbox Spam { special_use = \Junk } } This would auto make Spam, but: Would Junk (and all the others specified in 15-mailboxes.conf) still get created? What actually controls which folders get created?

Dovecot impatient with mysql?
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

It seems dovecot is impatient with connecting with mysql, as I see in maillog entries like: Apr 6 11:48:30 z9m9z dovecot: dict: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) - waiting for 5 seconds before retry Apr 6 11:48:35 z9m9z dovecot: dict: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) - waiting for 25 seconds before retry I suspect it does connect eventually. This is a test system with only 1GB of memory and free reports: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 1025484 696344 24556 21528 304584 251552 Swap: 524284 92168 432116 The production box has 2GB, so if the problem is mysql is swapping out, that will be 'fixed', if it is processor, well this is an ARMv7 duo core, as is the production box. I am considering buying the new quad core. Is there anything I can do to get dovecot more patient with mysql, or just ignore there messages? thank you

Replication for Pigeonhole ManageSieve
by Joe Nahmias 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Hello, I currently have one machine running postfix SMTP server as MTA along with dovecot IMAP server for email. Although it only supports a handful of users, email service is important to us all; so I'm looking to make this a more fault-tolerant / highly-available system. To that end, I'm planning on configuring postfix to use deliver/dovecot-lda as my MDA (using procmail at the moment), spinning up another machine with postfix/dovecot and setting up master/master replication using dsync/doveadm-sync. My reading on the subject suggests that this should (given appropriate MX & SRV dns records) make traffic balanced across both nodes, and the system should be resilient if one of the nodes should fail without the need for much/any human intervention. In order to replace the functionality that procmail currently provides as MDA, I was thinking to use Sieve. Fortunately, it seems the Pigeonhole project provides almost everything I need on the server side to make this work. The one potential gap I have identified is the syncing of the sieve scripts between the two machines. Has any one dealt with this and come up with a good solution? Does dsync already handle this and I just haven't figured it out? Let me know if my question is best directed elsewhere. Thanks in advance for any help, --Joe PS - please cc me as I don't subscribe to this list.

Meaning of "protocol !indexer-worker"
by Angel L. Mateo 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hello, I'm configuring dovecot 2.2.28. Comparing with previous versions I have found now in 10-mail.conf the config: protocol !indexer-worker { # If folder vsize calculation requires opening more than this many mails from # disk (i.e. mail sizes aren't in cache already), return failure and finish # the calculation via indexer process. Disabled by default. This setting must # be 0 for indexer-worker processes. #mail_vsize_bg_after_count = 0 } I can see that indexer-worker is the index service in dovecot. But I don't what the '!' means in front of the service name. Any who can explain it to me? -- Angel L.

Error: Virtual mailbox loops, Dovecot version 2.2.10
by dan＠redchops.com 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

I'm trying to follow the guide at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual for the 'Conversation' style virtual mailbox, but with a small change. I'd like the virtual mailboxes to be 'top level', which I found while searching through this list is accomplishable by putting the dovecot-virtual file in the root of the namespace location. My issue is this works perfectly fine for the All Mail virtual mailbox, but the Threaded mailbox fails with the error above. I tried creating a RealMail namespace, but that doesn't solve the issue either. I feel like I must be overlooking something simple; I could get this setup working if the virtual mailboxes shared a namespace and were subfolders, but I don't like that setup much (I'm trying to get my companies GMail users on to our own webmail client, it's features like this that I need to replicate with dovecot or they'll never leave their POP3 setups). I've attached the output of dovecot -n, and my virtual mailboxes look like this: # cat Threaded/dovecot-virtual All inthread refs x-mailbox INBOX # cat all/dovecot-virtual RealMail RealMail/* -RealMail/Trash -RealMail/Trash/* -RealMail/Spam -RealMail/Spam/* all I'd appreciate any insight in to this issue. If I try to access the Threaded Inbox through IMAP, I get this error specifically: a select "Threaded Inbox" a NO [SERVERBUG] Virtual mailbox open failed because of mailbox All: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2017-04-03 00:24:28] The relevant line being: Apr 3 00:24:28 mail dovecot: imap(dan(a)redchops.com): Error: Virtual mailbox loops: No information before or after. Thanks, -Dan

Mail list empty on my mailserver
by Philippe Forums 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Hello, After changing NAS, I meet a problem when I go on my e-mail box with my webmail. Either e-mails do not appear anymore, or they appear but are "empty". When I look in the directory of the e-mails of my mailserver, these e-mails are present. I tried to rename files "dovecot.index*" and to restart dovecot but nothing can be done. To make the seesaw of a NAS towards an other one, I copied all the directory of mailserver to an external storage, and made the copy the other way on my new NAS. This directory is a mount to a NAS. Having well to look, it would seem whether it is a date problem, because the copy did not keep the real dates of e-mails and they thus find themselves dated the day of the copy. I know not at all how to get back all my e-mails in my webmail. Thank's for your help. PS : I'm french, sorry for my english. -- ##################### Philippe - Forums

Slow performance with large folders over the Internet
by Shawn Heisey 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

Dovecot package version is 1:1.2.15-7+deb6u1. It is in Debian 6.0.10, using the Debian package. The server is in my basement at home, and is exposed to the Internet so I can fully access my mail from anywhere. I use IMAP for reading mail. I have a number of folders in my mailbox that have thousands of messages in them, from mailing lists. When I'm at home, I have a LAN connection to the server. It goes through a Cisco firewall that limits the connection speed to 100Mb/s. In this situation, I can open a folder with 25000 messages in it, click on the next unread message that Thunderbird did not know about before, and within a second or two, the message will download, allowing me to view it and reply. When I'm at work, with highly variable network latency between Thunderbird and the server, doing exactly the same thing takes a LOT longer. I have seen it take as long as 15 minutes for a single message. If I open a folder with only a few messages in it, it is fast. The server is not overloaded -- I can log into it with ssh and use "mutt -f" to open a folder directly. Loading thousands of messages into mutt takes a while, but I have no difficulty using the ssh connection and running commandline programs. This suggests that the IMAP communication between the server and the client involves a large amount of back and forth communication when the message count in the folder is high, possibly something for every message in the folder. It happens quickly on a LAN but crawls on a connection with high latency. I can understand it taking a few seconds longer on a high-latency link, but it takes minutes. I do plan on building a new server and migrating to Dovecot 2.x, but I haven't had the time to work on that. Is this a known problem? If so, is it fixed in 2.x? Thanks, Shawn

Studying dovecot source code (searching for mail_deliver_hook_set)
by chaouche yacine 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Hello dovecot, I would like to study how dovecot manages quota, especially how it deals with the maildirsize file if one chooses to implement quota according to the maildir++ specification. I made a number of assumptions : 1. mail is (always/sometimes) delivered with the dovecot-lda binary, which source code is in src/lda. 2. mail is sent with the mail_deliver function which is called from src/lda/main.c and is defined in src/lib-lda/mail-deliver.c 3. mail_deliver function calls the deliver_mail function (it seems to be pointer to a function) 4. according to src/lib-lda/mail-deliver.h, deliver_mail is set with the mail_deliver_hook_set function. Here's what the comment says /* Sets the deliver_mail hook and returns the previous hook, which the new_hook should call if it's non-NULL. */ deliver_mail_func_t *mail_deliver_hook_set(deliver_mail_func_t *new_hook); The problem at this point is that I can't find where is this function called. A grep on the sources only reveals two results : -*- mode: grep; default-directory: "~/DOWNLOADS/APPS/dovecot-2.2.13/src/" -*- Grep started at Tue Mar 28 17:01:50 grep -nH -e 'mail_deliver_hook_set' -r . ./lib-lda/mail-deliver.c:428:deliver_mail_func_t *mail_deliver_hook_set(deliver_mail_func_t *new_hook) ./lib-lda/mail-deliver.h:103:deliver_mail_func_t *mail_deliver_hook_set(deliver_mail_func_t *new_hook); Grep finished (matches found) at Tue Mar 28 17:01:50 According to the changelog this function has been introduced back in 2010. I don't know if it's really used ? * I am working on the 2.2.13 sources because that's what's installed on my server. * I couldn't find a developers mailling listed in http://www.dovecot.org/mailinglists.html so I'm just posting this here. -- Yassine.

Dear list, We moved our dovecot installation to a new vm, and ever since there are problems logging in to our imap server during office hours. ( Evenings and weekends are fine. ) Both the new and the old machine are dovecot 2.2.13. Symptoms: Logging in via imap gives: .

pigeonhole / vacation
by A. Schulze 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

Hello, we use the sieve vacation module to answer messages for certain mailboxes. vacation send back answers to most but not all messages wich is fine and intended. .dovecot.sieve looks like this: require ["vacation", "variables"]; if header :matches "subject" "*" { vacation :subject "Automatic response to: ${1}" "thanks for your message"; keep; } But now I would like to distinct messages that where answered from those where the vacation module did not send back a message. Is it possible to store answered messages in one folder and unanswered in an other? # probably invalid sieve syntax if vacation .... { fileinto "answered/"; stop; else fileinto "unanswered/"; stop; } After reading RFC 5230 I feel it's not possible at all :-/ Andreas

Tip: update dovecot MD5 password from PAM

This is a PAM module that listens for password changes, and will update the MD5 password for a user, in a file that dovecot can read, when the user's password is changed: https://github.com/steinarb/pam_dovecotmd5pwd Caveat emptor! (Works for me...! :-) )

The challenge of customizing Dovecot
by Robert Moskowitz 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

I have been running Dovecot for sometime, but I have just used someone else efforts on customizing it. Many of these throw out the dovecot/conf.d files for a single dovecot.conf with no explanation on what does what. So tell you a few conf.d files to edit. So over the past few days, I have rolled up my sleeves and did my best to work out how to modify the proper conf.d files. To 'stay true' to the Dovecot maintainer's config organization. The target is Centos7 with Dovecot 2.2.10-7 It was HARD! Besides dovecot.conf, I had to modify 13 conf.d files. Add 3 .ext files in /etc/dovecot, and set up sieve. I will soon have my total instructions available on my server, but to share with you what I have done for Dovecot customization and maybe to get some recommendations on improvements. For the most part, I have used SED to modify the conf files. I use a few env variables: your_domain_tld= your_host_only= your_host_tld=$your_host_only.$your_domain_tld Postfix_Database_Password= What follows are the pieces of my customization, all comments welcomed (this is NOT adequately tested! That is later in the week!): sed -i -e "/^#protocols/s/$/ sieve/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf sed -i -e "s/^#protocols/protocols/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf sed -i -e "s/#quota = /sqlquota = /w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf sed -i -e "/^auth_mechanisms/s/$/ login/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf sed -i -e 's/^#!include auth-sql.conf.ext/!include auth-sql.conf.ext/w /dev/stdout' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf sed -i -e "0,/#userdb {/ s/#userdb {/userdb {/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext sed -i -e "s/# driver = prefetch/ driver = prefetch\n }/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext sed -i -e "/^#mail_location/s/$/maildir:\/home\/vmail\/%d\/%n/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf sed -i -e "s/^#mail_location/mail_location/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf sed -i -e "s/first_valid_uid = 1000/first_valid_uid = 101/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf sed -i -e "s/#first_valid_gid = 1/first_valid_gid = 12/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf sed -i "/unix_listener auth-userdb/ a mode = 0666\n user = vmail\n group = mail" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf sed -i "/#unix_listener \/var\/spool/ a mode = 0666\n user = postfix\n group = postfix\n }" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf sed -i -e "s/#unix_listener \/var\/spool/unix_listener \/var\/spool/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf sed -i "/unix_listener dict/ a mode = 0666\n user = vmail\n group = mail" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf sed -i -e "s/^mode/ mode/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf sed -i -e "s/dovecot\/certs\/dovecot.pem/tls\/certs\/$your_host_tld.crt/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf sed -i -e "s/dovecot\/private\/dovecot.pem/tls\/private\/$your_host_tld.key/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf sed -i -e "/^#postmaster_address/s/$/ postmaster@$your_domain_tld/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf sed -i -e "s/^#postmaster_address/postmaster_address/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf sed -i "/#mail_plugins/ a mail_plugins = quota sieve" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf sed -i -e "s/^mail_plugins/ mail_plugins/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf sed -i -e "s/^#lda_mailbox_autocreate = no/lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf sed -i -e "s/^#lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = no/lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf sed -i "/#mail_plugins / a mail_plugins = quota imap_quota trash" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf sed -i -e "s/^mail_plugins/ mail_plugins/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf sed -i "/#imap_client_workarounds/ a imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf sed -i "/#mail_plugins/ a mail_plugins = sieve" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-lmtp.conf sed -i -e "s/^mail_plugins/ mail_plugins/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-lmtp.conf sed -i -e "s/^#lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = no/lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-lmtp.conf sed -i -e "s/#service managesieve-login/service managesieve-login/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf sed -i -e "s/#inet_listener sieve {/inet_listener sieve {/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf sed -i -e "s/# port = 4190/ port = 4190\n }/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf sed -i "/#vsz_limit/ a }" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf sed -i "/#mail_plugins/ a mail_plugins = quota" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-pop3.conf sed -i -e "s/^mail_plugins/ mail_plugins/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-pop3.conf sed -i "/#pop3_client_workarounds/ a pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-pop3.conf sed -i -e "s/#acl = /acl = /w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-acl.conf sed -i -e "s/#sieve_before =/sieve_before = \/home\/sieve\/globalfilter.sieve/w /dev/stdout" /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf cat <<EOF>>/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf || exit 1 plugin { quota = dict:user::proxy::sqlquota trash = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-trash.conf.ext } EOF cat <<EOF>/etc/dovecot/dovecot-trash.conf.ext || exit 1 #
