Vacation Sending To Root
by Shaun Forsyth 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Dovecot Version 2.0.9 I am having an issue where all vacation messages are being sent to root. Is any one able to advise. Dovecot Log Shows :- Sieve: msgid=< CAMD5TViw0sSigGm8JY5WOv0ROs1UdCJFnvb9vo-RzcNN74E92Q(a)mail.xxxxxx.com>: sent vacation response to <root> The emails are handed off to dovecot from sendmail using procmail :0 w | $DELIVER The variable $DELIVER is set as DELIVER="/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver" I do have DROPPRIVS=YES in procmail, however I don't think deliver works without this. Any advice would greatly help. Shaun

mail_location in userdb inconsistent with imap and pigeonhole
by Ladislav Laska 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Hi! I'm still fighting with lost mails and what I think is a locking problem. As I've lost some pretty important mails already, I decided to mitigate my troubles by moving to maildir format, which should not be susceptible to these problems. I read the docs and wanted to test on my account, before I mess with all the others and possibly break something. The way to do it seems to be to do an override via userdb. I already have a passwd-file authdb, so I uncommented those few lines in configuration, and added this to my passwd-file: krakonos:{SHA256}xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=:1000:100::/home/krakonos:/bin/bash:userdb_mail=maildir:/home/krakonos/Mail Now, I'm not really sure why it has to be prefixed with userdb_, but the example in docs has it, and it seems to work. I've attached the relevant part of a logfile, with some debugging enabled, but in short: Dec 10 18:39:22 ibex dovecot: imap(krakonos): Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=maildir:/home/krakonos/Mail [...] Dec 10 18:39:22 ibex dovecot: imap(krakonos): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/krakonos/Mail, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/home/krakonos/Mail, alt= [...] Dec 10 18:39:52 ibex dovecot: lda(krakonos): Debug: mbox: INBOX defaulted to /home/krakonos/.mbox/inbox I'm confused why the last line chooses my old mbox over the new location. I'm even more confused by the fact the IMAP works fine, and as I connect from mutt over imap, I can see empty mailboxes (the ~/Mail has only the basic cur/new/tmp structure). However, pigeonhole delivers into the .mbox, and not only if it's for INBOX, but also for spam and others. I read somewhere in the docs that the order is first try userdb, then mail_location and namespaces override the rest. This might be the problem, as I have: mail_location = mbox:~/.mbox 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 = } Due to inbox=yes this would explain why inbox is using the default path in mail_location. But why even the spam is delivered into the old mbox? And how do I solve the problem anyway, should I just remove the namespace? Anyway, it doesn't explain why the IMAP part and pigeonhole apply different rules and show me different inboxes, which is probably a bug. Thanks! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the rest of my configuration for reference, the log is attached: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- # 2.2.26.0 (23d1de6): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) # OS: Linux 4.4.26-gentoo x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.2 auth_username_format = %n hostname = ibex.krakonos.org login_greeting = Dovecot(a)krakonos.org ready. mail_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:~/.mbox mbox_read_locks = dotlock fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = * driver = pam } passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } plugin { sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_execute_bin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve-execute sieve_execute_socket_dir = sieve-execute sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.filter +editheader sieve_filter_bin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve-filter sieve_filter_socket_dir = sieve-filter sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe sieve_pipe_socket_dir = sieve-pipe sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)krakonos.org protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/server.pem ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve } -- S pozdravem Ladislav "Krakonoš" Láska http://www.krakonos.org/

Sieve & Public folders issue (2nd episode)
by dovecot＠avv.solutions 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Hello Community, Getting back to my previous post, here a a complement: - Having enabled sieve, I can store mails and create folder under the recipient - Having enabled public folders, I can move mail into them using a client (eg Thunderbird); security is therefore ok (actually I gave full control to the user) eg Public/Newsletters/SomeCompany - *BUT* running a sieve script to store to Public/Newsletters/SomeCompany returns the following in the logs: "failed to store into mailbox 'Public/Newsletters/SomeCompany': Permission denied." Any tip? Thank you for your help. Greetz

panic when doveadm sieve put between multiple hosts
by Tyler Jachetta 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Dovecot version: 2.2.25 (7be1766) I’m looking into an issue we’re having with a new setup. We have one fronted host with two backend hosts, and we’re attempting to use doveadm to allow us to administer sieve on the frontend and have it replicated to the backend hosts. When I attempt to use doveadm sieve put on the frontend host, i get the following on the frontend host: frontend-machine $ cat /tmp/default.sieve | doveadm sieve put default doveadm(root): Error: doveadm server disconnected before handshake: Connection reset by peer doveadm(root): Error: 10.1.11.82:10993: Command sieve put failed for root: Connection reset by peer when this happens, on the backend, I see this in /var/log/maillog: Jan 9 17:00:35 was-imap1 dovecot: doveadm: Panic: epoll_ctl(add, 0) failed: Operation not permitted (fd doesn't support epoll - instead of '<file', try 'cat file|') Jan 9 17:00:35 was-imap1 dovecot: doveadm: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x8d52e) [0x7f7a86ba952e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x8d60e) [0x7f7a86ba960e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f7a86b481b6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handle_add+0x147) [0x7f7a86bbe067] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xa0311) [0x7f7a86bbc311] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_add+0xd) [0x7f7a86bbc3bd] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(doveadm_mail_get_input+0xde) [0x7f7a875c53de] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(doveadm_mail_single_user+0x73) [0x7f7a875c5633] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x2874d) [0x7f7a875c574d] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(doveadm_cmd_ver2_to_mail_cmd_wrapper+0x27d) [0x7f7a875c65fd] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(doveadm_cmd_run_ver2+0x50c) [0x7f7a875d492c] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x3b223) [0x7f7a875d8223] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x4c) [0x7f7a86bbce8c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xff) [0x7f7a86bbe2ef] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x25) [0x7f7a86bbcf15] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f7a86bbd0c8] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f7a86b4e613] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(main+0x186) [0x7f7a875b6276] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f7a8677bb15] -> dovecot/doveadm-server(+0x19321) [0x7f7a875b6321] Jan 9 17:00:36 was-imap1 dovecot: doveadm: Fatal: master: service(doveadm): child 28542 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) Now, if I log in to either of the backend hosts, I can run the sieve put command and it all works out fine, so it’s something in the communication between the frontend and backend. dovecot -n output for both a frontend and backend below frontend-machine $ dovecot -n #

dovecot 2.2.18 replication I/O Timeout
by Jan Büren 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Dear list, I am having an issue like this http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2014-September/024898.html with my current dovecot 2.2.18 Concret: doveadm -Dv replicator replicate -p high -f info throws an I/O Timeout error and the only thing I can see are some lock issues: Error: Couldn't lock /var/vmail/info/.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 30 seconds Can I debug the communication one level deeper? I replicate over a somewhat slow DSL connection. I had the some problem with dovecot 2.2.9 and after upgrading to 2.2.15 everything went smoothly, just a wild guess, maybe the timeout_reset was removed again? Well, doesn't look like it: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/doveadm/dsync/dsync-ibc-str… or https://github.com/dovecot/core/blame/master/src/doveadm/dsync/dsync-ibc-st… Some debug hints would be nice.

Auth cache does not take %real_rip into account
by Tom Sommer 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

I run a Director setup with a webmail in front, the webmail is in login_trusted_networks and sends IMAP-ID x-original-ip to log the client IP. If I enable auth_debug on the director, I see that the cache key contains the client IP, and not the %real_rip. This is causing problems because in my passdb SQL query, I use the %real_rip to determine if login is allowed. Should %real_rip not be added to the auth cache key? Or should it be the cache key instead of the %rip? Thanks -- Tom

2.2.26.0 : accessing "mdbox_deleted" content destroys indexes
by Benoit Branciard 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Accessing or listing "mdbox_deleted" contents seems to destroy MDBOX indexes. Examples of commands which triggers this problem ($home being the home directory of $user, and mail_location being mdbox:~/mdbox): doveadm -o mail="mdbox_deleted:$home/mdbox" -f table mailbox status -u "$user" 'messages vsize' INBOX doveadm -v import -s -u "$user" "mdbox_deleted:$home/mdbox" restored-mail ALL The above "doveadm mailbox status" command outputs an error: doveadm(user): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=1,offset=104908 for (in-memory index): Append with UID 1, but next_uid = 5227 doveadm(user): Warning: fscking index file (in-memory index) Subsequent "doveadm mailbox status -u $user 'messages vsize'" on the active mailbox report empty folders (null messages and vsize), whereas folders actually aren't empty. Workaround: this problem is corrected by a "doveadm search -u $user all", which obviously forces indexes to be rebuilt. Vesion: 2.2.26.0 (23d1de6) (Debian jessie-backports package) We did *not* have this problem in 2.2.24 version (previous Debian jessie-backports package). We use following mail_location with explicit DIRNAME (don't know if that matters): mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:DIRNAME=_@@_dbox-Mails_@@_ I tested with and without appending ":DIRNAME=_@@_dbox-Mails_@@_" to mail="mdbox_deleted:$home/mdbox" with same results. -- Benoit BRANCIARD Service InfraStructures (SIS) Direction du Système d'Information et des Usages Numériques (DSIUN) Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne Centre Pierre Mendès France 90 rue de Tolbiac - 75634 Paris cedex 13 - France Bur.

Benchmarking auth
by micah anderson 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

Hello, I'm attempting to use imaptest to test auths/sec on my imap server, to simulate the number I'm getting now on a new server. Based on my readings of dovecot stats outputs, my current machine is doing somewhere between 11.6 and 196 logins/sec at its busiest, and I want to make sure the new server can handle that amount. With imaptest I attempt to simulate this by just simulating login/logout speed, but I'm not sure I understand the results and where things are being blocked. For testing purposes, I set: mail_max_userip_connections = 6000 mail_max_userip_connections = 6000 auth_worker_max_count = 240 If you have some additional suggestions for what I can also tweak here to improve this, I would like to know. I then ran imaptest with: imaptest clients=196 user=test pass=testpw host=127.0.0.1 port=14300 - select=0 seed=123 secs=300 It doesn't seem like I can simulate *only* authentications/logins. I have to pair them with logouts. It makes me wonder how I can simulate the amount of load on my current live system on this system. How do I read the output? I don't really understand what is being shown here: Logi Logo 100% 100% 0 0 100/100 [51%] does this mean that it tried 100 logins and 100 logouts and 51% succeeded? What are the first two columns? 7 7 104/121 [61%] 6 6 131/139 [70%] 3 3 137/148 (84 stalled >3s) [75%] 84 stalled for more than 3 seconds, how does this relate to the other values presented? 5 5 155/163 (79 stalled >3s) [83%] 1 1 166/166 (107 stalled >3s) [84%] 2 2 168/172 (128 stalled >3s) [87%] 6 5 179/190 (140 stalled >3s) [96%] 22 22 182/196 (136 stalled >3s) 4 3 195/196 (133 stalled >3s) 5845 129 ms/cmd avg I really wonder if these first two columns are ms/cmds?

Timing information for passdb/userdb lookups
by Marcus Rückert 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

Hi, it would be nice to have an option to enable logging for timings without having to go with auth_verbose/auth_debug. If you try to track down if a slowdown for logging in comes from e.g. running out of login workers or if your auth backend is slow it would really help to get just a one line message per userdb/passdb with the timing for this lookup. something like: imap-login(<username>): userdb ldap lookup time 0.4s imap-login(<username>): passdb ldap lookup time 0.2s or even merging into one: imap-login(<username>): userdb ldap lookup time 0.4s passdb ldap lookup time 0.2s darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org

Clamping down on mailbox sizes...
by SH Development 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

I don’t want to do this for all users….but… I have a few users who insist that they use their mailboxes regularly and don’t want it cancelled. Fine. But they won’t clean them out either. What steps would you all recommend for setting quotas on some users but not others? Specifically starting out with identifying WHICH accounts have excessive amounts of crap in them, by age, then sending them a notice stating they are going to get limited, then deleting mail older than x number of days if they don’t do it themselves by a certain time frame... Thoughts? Jeff

Quota count does not work with lock_method=dotlock
by mkliewe＠gmx.de 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Hello, dovecot crashes when I switch the quota tracking from dict to count. The following is working since years: quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota I'm using a mysql quota dictionary. Now I want to switch to the new "quota count" + "quota clone" combination. I'm loading the "quota_clone" plugin, and: #quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota quota = count:User quota quota_vsizes = yes quota_clone_dict = proxy::quota It works on a maschine where I'm using NFS with lock_method=fcntl. It's crashing on another maschine where I'm using NFS with lock_method=dotlock. See below. Sadly I have to use dotlock, because of the NFS server. It looks like quota count does not (yet) work with dotlock?

Hi everyone, We are running Dovecot 2.2.9 as a primary IMAP server. Also we use Dovecot SASL for SMTP authentication. Because we are building some monitoring application, we will need to record all failed and successful login attempts. We need to record remote IP, entered password in plain text, and if possible whether auth request is for SMTP or IMAP session. I checked http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting and noticed that post-login scripts are executed only after result_success, but not after result_failure (password mismatch). Also I read http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase where I saw that since version 2.2.10 it is possible to control what happens after passdb check, but allowed result values don't include executing custom script. Does anyone know a way to call external binary / script, or at least save a record in the database after login attempt without reading the log files? P.S. there is also a special case. When someone logs in from webmail, remote IP is set to webmail's server. In this case, we will log the attempt from the webmail itself, because it has the correct remote IP. Robin Wood

Ox Dovecot - dovecot.fi - dovecot-ee repo access
by Raymond Sellars 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Hi My question is a little off topic but hoping the community has some insight or advise. Has anyone had success in contacting OX dovecot. We previous purchased Dovecot Pro and had access to the dovecot-ee (https://yum.dovecot.fi) repository. Credentials are no longer valid and all attempts (over the months) to reach Ox gain no response. Wondering if others are having Pro access issues or have managed to reach their info/sales team (info(a)dovecot.fi<mailto:info@dovecot.fi>?). Any recommendations on alternatives for commercial support? Primarily active security patching/advisement rather than polling the open source release stream. Thanks Raymond

Hi, I did added the default location and stripped down my config to a very basic level, dropping all plugins and database queries, see below. The segfault still appears in the same location.

Doveadm backup doesn't interpret placeholders
by James Pharaoh 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Hi, Dovecot version: 2.2.27 I'm using replication between two servers for high availability, but I also want to backup all users. I have a setting for the replication to work like this: plugin { mail_replica = tcp:other-dovecot } This is fine, but then I also want to do a backup to a different directory for all users, since I am having trouble with an apparent bug running dovecot on btrfs. For this reason, I am storing my emails on ext4, but want to sync them to the BTRFS filesystem I use for my server before doing a snapshot. My mails are stored in /var/mail/mailboxes, and the backup is in /var/mail/mailboxes-backup, the former being the ext4 mount and the latter being part of the btrfs filesystem which belongs to the container where all this runs. The problem is that dovecot seems to only have a single concept of the mail backup location, which is either a remote, as above, or a filesystem location. The logical answer seems to be to provide the backup location when performing the local copy for a snapshot, so I run: doveadm backup -A mdbox:/var/mail/mailboxes-backup/%d/accounts/%u However, this is not picking up the %d and %u placeholders and replacing them with the values, as it would if configured with the option above. The only workaround I can find is to run doveadm backup individually for every user, with the full expanded path for each one. Am I missing something, or would it make sense for doveadm backup to simply recognise and respect these placeholders when passed on the command line? I've tried all sorts of other things, including -o mail_replica, and putting stuff in the userdb, but I can't find any other way to do this. Thanks in advance, James

Mailbox alias plugin and INBOX. folders
by James White 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Hi, I'm trying to workaround the lack of IMAP folder mapping settings on Windows 10 Mobile in regards to controlling the Sent, Trash etc folder my device uses. Currently, my device creates its own "Sent Items" folder "Deleted Items" folder along with others, this is pain when using clients like Thunderbird which places such them in the correct places, because it can be configured this way. While this is a Microsoft issue, its looking very unlikely they will add IMAP mapping control, as its been like this since Windows Phone 7. So I was looking for performing a workaround at the server level. I came across the Dovecot Mailbox alias plugin, which sounds like a decent workaround, to at least allow sent email messages from my Windows 10 mobile device to show up in the right place, I'm aware of the potential for double cache etc, but I have enough storage for it. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailboxAlias What I'm having difficulty with, is expressing the mailbox_alias to an existing INBOX. folder. My email server uses the INBOX prefix setup, so my configured folders are: INBOX\INBOX.Sent INBOX\INBOX.Drafts INBOX\INBOX.Trash INBOX\INBOX.Spam Most examples seem to indicate doing at the root folder level i.e. Sent Items -> Sent not Sent Items -> INBOX\INBOX.Sent. Is it possible to use the alias plugin in this way? If so how would I express this using mailbox_alias_old, I tried INBOX/Sent, but this seems to send all items to a blackhole, as they can no longer be found in any folder. It does appear to work at the root folder level, but as my setup is using the older INBOX prefix, I don't want to do that. Any hints/tips would be appreciated! Thanks, James

mail-trends+Dovecot
by Odhiambo Washington 22 Jan '17

22 Jan '17

Hi, Out of curiosity, has anyone managed to use mail-trends[0] to analyse their e-mails. I thought about trying it out, but got stuck midstream. The mail-trends scripts work very well with gmail, but because they say it is supposed to work with _any_ IMAP server, I thought I could get it running with Dovecot too. I know this is NOT a mail-trends support group though, but I believe there is something minor that I am missing, which Dovecot admins could figure out. My idea was to see what comes out of my e-mails stored either in Maildir or mdbox. In my test env, I have mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/virtual/%d/%n/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY I am testing with a virtual account, whose e-mails are in Maildir/ - some 30,000 mails. The gotcha is that I cannot figure out exactly what to specify in mail.py (for mail-trends [0]) for this situation. There is another modified version of mail-trends[1] which is supposed to be a lot easier than the original one, but this too doesn't seem to work in my setup: 1. My doveconf output -> http://bit.ly/2k11iKb 2. Accounts are virtual, so I have a user - johndoe(a)dom.ain who MUST login as johndoe(a)dom.ain with a password. 3. His mailbox is in /var/spool/virtual/dom.ain/johndoe/Maildir/ So I try this - using the mail-trends code from [1] root@gw:/scripts/mail-trends # ./main.py --server=localhost --username=johndoe(a)dom.ain --password=1234 --use_ssl [2017-01-21 22:24:08,552] Initializing {'username': 'johndoe(a)dom.ain', 'use_ssl': '', 'password': '1234', 'server': 'localhost'} [2017-01-21 22:24:08,552] Connecting [2017-01-21 22:24:08,747] Logging in [2017-01-21 22:24:08,752] Getting mailboxes *[2017-01-21 22:24:08,753] Found INBOX.spam *<-- Where it is getting this from beats me! *[2017-01-21 22:24:08,753] Found INBOX* Traceback (most recent call last): File "./main.py", line 304, in <module> message_infos = GetMessageInfos(opts) File "./main.py", line 104, in GetMessageInfos for mailbox in m.GetMailboxes(): File "/scripts/mail-trends/mail.py", line 61, in GetMailboxes mailboxes.remove('[Gmail]') ValueError: list.remove(x): x not in list root@gw:/scripts/mail-trends # root@gw:/scripts/mail-trends # *ls -al /var/spool/virtual/dom.ain/johndoe/Maildir/* total 3256 drwx------ 5 mailnull mailnull 512 Jan 22 00:04 . drwx------ 3 mailnull mailnull 512 Jan 21 18:48 .. drwx------ 2 mailnull mailnull 1084416 Jan 22 00:04 cur -rw------- 1 mailnull mailnull 1074769 Jan 21 18:52 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 mailnull mailnull 8 Jan 21 18:32 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 mailnull mailnull 0 Jan 21 18:32 dovecot-uidvalidity.58837ef3 drwx------ 2 mailnull mailnull 1084416 Jan 21 18:47 new -rw-r--r-- 1 mailnull mailnull 0 Jan 21 18:30 subscriptions drwx------ 2 mailnull mailnull 512 Jan 21 17:44 tmp If anyone is able to hack this with Dovecot, please share the details.

Relative home path not allowed - but how is this relative?
by Roger Klorese 22 Jan '17

22 Jan '17

I just set up my server with MySQL support for authentication/authorization compatible with Postfix Admin. Initially, I was getting the "Relative home directory paths not supported" message, and it's easy to see why - Postfix Admin stores the maildir as "$domain/$userpart@$domain". But the directories in 10-mail.conf are set as mail_location = maildir:/home/mailboxes/%d/%u mail_home = maildir:/home/mailboxes/%d/%u ...and the user_query has been revised to: user_query = SELECT concat('/home/mailboxes/', maildir) as full_maildir FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u'; ...so how are any of these relative paths?

This topic was already discussed on this mailinglist: https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-November/079491.html I am also looking for a nice and convenient way of recursively deleting a mailbox which uses the mdbox-Format. Since then - was there any progress?

Replication between three servers
by James Pharaoh 19 Jan '17

19 Jan '17

Hi, Dovecot version: 2.2.27 I'm a little unsure if I have set up my replication correctly, and also how to set up replication on three servers, if this is possible. My replication works, with exactly the same configuration on both servers, except that the mail_replica contains the other server name in each case, of course. This seems to work fine. As I understand it, both need to be set up as a client and a server, since I have mail arriving on both. Is this a correct and supported configuration? I believe then I should be able to get three-way replication working, by pointing the three servers at each other in a circle. I am hoping this will cause a mail arriving at server 1 to be sent to server 2, which will then send it to server 3. Server 3 will attempt to send it back to server 1 which will already have it, and so this will terminate the loop. This is obviously going to create a bit of extra load, but I don't want to try it without some advice, and I'm not sure if the replication will be triggered properly by an email which is itself arriving via replication. Reading the description of the components, I think it should, since the aggregator service shouldn't care how an email has arrived, since it is simply reading the log, right? If a server fails, or needs to be taken out manually, I'll obviously need to reconfigure the loop, essentially taking it back to a standard two-server configuration. Similarly, I should be able to add a fourth server, and so on, if I wanted. I'm planning to distribute incoming emails over all servers, so that these will arrive and be stored on a working server during an outage without any reconfiguration, and to use something like nginx as a proxy to send each user to a specific server, to distribute the client load. Thanks in advance, James

Remove empty milder folders
by ＠lbutlr 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Not sure if anyone will find this useful, but this is how I deleted a bunch (several hundred) of empty mail folders from a user account: # doveadm mailbox status -u “user(a)example.com" messages "*" ALL | grep "=0" | awk -F= '{print $1}' | awk '{print "rm -rf ."$1}' > list then I looked over list just to be sure it wasn’t mucked up and in the users root maildir: # sh < list and done. I probably could do some research on how to combine those two awk pipes but this worked, and it was fast. -- Apple broke AppleScripting signatures in Mail.app, so no random signatures.

by Thorsten Hater 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Dear all, is there a way to allow users to set up something like autoexpunge on an individual IMAP folder basis? The idea I implemented does not seem to work, namely returning namespace/inbox/mailbox/Bla/autoexpunge=6h from a userdb, which results in Debug: Unknown userdb setting: plugin/namespace/inbox/mailbox/Bla/autoexpunge=6h >From older questions on the mailing list I gather that the mailbox Bla needs to be set up in the config before I can override its fields. If there is a way around this, I would gladly use this. Another solution that comes to mind would be to use a table-driven cron job, but I would prefer the cleanup to be triggered at delivering and/or moving mail. Best regards, Thorsten

Reappearing emails
by Ron Cleven 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

We have been running Dovecot 2.2.10 with a pair of CentOS 7 boxes with replications for the past year. We have been quite happy with the performance and reliability. Recently we received a report from an Android IMAP user that emails that he deleted without reading would often reappear in his INBOX. At first I thought it might be some quirky incompatibility with his email client, but I found that I could easily reproduce it in Roundcube by dragging an unread email to Trash. I have been monitoring this forum fairly religiously and don't recall seeing any similar reports. I plan to capture the IMAP wire interactions, but before doing that, I thought I would submit this to the IMAP gods to see if anyone had heard of this and/or if there is some newer version that might resolve the problem. This particular customer contacted his email vendor and asked them to analyze the problem. The actual log data is gigantic, so I just pasted in the vendor's narrative below in case it helps. Otherwise, as I said, I will capture a similar interaction at the wire level and follow up here. Vendor's narrative: You had 8 messages in the Inbox, and moved two to Trash. The server notified the app on the push connection (for Inbox) that there are now 6 messages. By the time the app got around to catch up with that (it did the Trash folder first), the server said "oh wait, there are 8 messages, not 6" (in the Inbox), and so the app synced them in, just as reported. app selecting the Inbox, server saying there are 8 messages there app moving UID 729 and 730 to Trash (push) server saying Trash now has 34 messages (push) server saying two messages gone from Inbox, 6 left (push) 6 messages left in Inbox becoming 8 (push) and here they are (the two new ones) Thanks, Ron

Hi all, I have a mail folder from Dovecot server. Screenshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/11NHs.jpg Is there any way to import to Outlook, or otherwise convert to readable format? I could setup Dovecot on my own server if there is any point.

Correct settings for ssl protocols" and "ssl ciphers"
by Jerry 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

I have the following two settings in my "10-ssl.conf" file # SSL protocols to use ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 # SSL ciphers to use ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL I have seen different configurations while Googling. I am wondering what the consensus is for the best settings for these two items. What do the developers recommend? Thanks! -- Jerry

fts-solr: Returning 400 on searches; unescaped braces

Dovecot source code audit
by Timo Sirainen 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Mozilla sponsored source code audit for Dovecot. So thanks to them we have our first public code audit: https://wiki.mozilla.org/MOSS/Secure_Open_Source/Completed#dovecot Dates: October 2016 - January 2017 dovecot is a POP and IMAP mailserver; it is used in 68% of IMAP server deployments worldwide. The audit was performed by Cure53. The team found the following problems: • 3 Low The Cure53 team were extremely impressed with the quality of the dovecot code. They wrote: "Despite much effort and thoroughly all-encompassing approach, the Cure53 testers only managed to assert the excellent security-standing of Dovecot. More specifically, only three minor security issues have been found in the codebase, thus translating to an exceptionally good outcome for Dovecot, and a true testament to the fact that keeping security promises is at the core of the Dovecot development and operations."

Sieve: fileinto :create issue with Public Folder
by dovecot＠avv.solutions 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

Hello Community, I face the following issue: - using a sieve script to file into a existing private folder: ok - using a sieve script to file into new private folder using ":create": ok - using a sieve script to file into a existing public folder: ok - using a sieve script to file into new public folder using ":create": NOK ! The returned message is: "Permission denied" and the message correctly falls back to inbox. HOWEVER, if I run "doveadm mailbox create -u myuser@mydomain Public/TheNewFolder", the folder is created, and the delete command works as well. Any tip? Running dovecot 2.2.13 on a pi/debian jessie Thanks

Replication: Can't unsubscribe from shared mailbox
by Karsten Heiken 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

Hi, I am running two dovecot servers active/active. Everything runs pretty great, except for the replication of subscriptions in a shared namespace. When I unsubscribe from a folder the subscription instantly re-appears. The timestamp on the subscriptions file is updated, but the entry is still in there. If the other node is shut down, everything works as expected, which leads me to believe that the subscription is re-applied upon a replicator-run. I attached a tcpdump of a dsync run. The only action that was executed was to unsubscribe from the folder shared/weinrot(a)luis.uni-hannover.de/INBOX. Is there any other way I might help debugging this?

TLS feature missing
by Tributh 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

Hi, i was using dovecot 2.2.25 compiled with opnessl 1.0.2 I realised with a cipherscan utility that i was able to support mulitiple TLS curves. Now i upgraded to 2.2.27 with opnessl1.1.0 and was falling back to historical stages where my server only servers one TLS-curve: secp384r1 right now. One big reason to compile the new ersion with openssl1.1.0 was to bring CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphers and X25519 curves to modern clients. The ciphers i am estimating are working fine, but X25519 and also secp521r1 ist now longer supported, like it was in dovecot 2.2.25. Is there something broken? Or a new (know missing) config feature? Or is it a bug ? Regards Torsten

multiple shared/mail format namespaces
by Michal Soltys 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Hi, Are configurations (with separate formats per namespace) - such as ... namespace { type = shared list = children inbox = no separator = / subscriptions = no prefix = shared1/%%n/ location = maildir:/var/mail1/%%n/ } namespace { type = shared list = children inbox = no separator = / subscriptions = no prefix = shared2/%%n/ location = mdbox:/var/mail2/%%n/ } With separate userdbs serving part of the users with maildirs in /var/mail1/ and the other part with mdboxes in /var/mail2 ... valid in dovecot ? To be more precise: 1) Is current version dovecot expected to work with configuration as above ? E.g. if some user's mail location returned from userdb doesn't match location/format from one of the above namespaces - would it be ignored for it ? A very old version of dovecot I could check quickly (2.1.7) was segfaulting (imap processes) all the time with this kind of config. While I'll be upgrading it and the whole system to modern versions, I'm wondering if this kind of thing is formally allowed at all. An interesting variation of the above setup I tested - with the second namespace "un-variabled" and pointing to single user (with matching passwd-file returning that user) managed to work somehow - but the user itself was still created on the fly for the 1st namespace - having just a directory with empty dovecot-acl-list file. This essentially seemed to have worked like a typical public profile (shared acl db didn't seem to be used either) 2) For shared namespace with variables, would overriding shared namespace location in userdb query work ? For example if we had single namespace such as the first one (maildir) above with explicit share1 name, and then in userdb for some users: userdb_namespace/share1/location=mdbox:/var/mail2/some_user_name Would that override a shared namespace pattern on per user basis correctly ? 3) Is there perhaps a way to constraint which userdbs are considered per which shared namespace ? 4) Not strictly related to the above, but in LDAP part of documentation - namely http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/Userdb - why user_attrs = \ =home=%{ldap:homeDirectory}, \ =uid=%{ldap:uidNumber}, \ =gid=%{ldap:gidNumber} instead of user_attrs = \ homeDirectory=home, \ uidNumber=uid, \ gidNumber=gid Do both are equivalent with differet syntax (opening the way for templates for %{} based syntax), or are there some subtle differences between those ? (aside later example with 'attr=' instead of just '='). Would this kind of syntax also be correct for pass_attrs, such as: pass_attrs = \ =password=%{ldap:uid}, \ =userdb_home=%{ldap:homeDirectory}

Ban dots in folder names
by Marek Grondecki 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Hello Dovecot Community, I am using Dovecot 2.2.13-12~deb8u1 (Debian Jessie). separator = / listescape plugin is NOT active LAYOUT=fs is NOT active I would like to prohibit/ban the creation of folders with dot "." in the names - so creation of a folder "foo.bar" should NOT be possible. Currently, when I create "foo.bar" in Outlook 2013 it will be created but won't be synchronised with the mail server - Outlook shows it as "foo.bar (Only this computer)". Ideally the user should receive an error message informing that "the folder foo.bar could not be created." Thank you for your help. Regards, Marek Grondecki

Dovecot and MariaDB/MySQL
by Michael A. Peters 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Howdy - For most of my dovecot servers, they are small and I just use unix accounts. However I am going to be running a new server for more general users, webmail (probably roundcube but I'm hacking roundcube quite a bit, enough that I'm calling it squarepeg instead so users familiar with roundcube will know it is quite different) and it will use MariaDB for account management. I already have it working, following the instructions at https://www.linode.com/docs/email/postfix/email-with-postfix-dovecot-and-my… - those instructions also work in CentOS 7 with the latest Dovecot - but there is something that really bothers me. It makes no provision for salting the password before the crypt function. What I would like to do is when creating a new account, use /dev/urandom to generate a random salt for the account that is stuck in the database along with the account and used when validating the password. That way in the event of a SQL injection attack that dumps the database - yes it is still bad, but 20 accounts that have the same password will have radically different hashes and thus won't be a clue that they are the same, the blackhat that gets the database dump would have to generate a rainbow table for each unique salt. I've looked at at least a dozen different Dovecot / MariaDB howto guides and none of the ones I have looked at supported any kind of individual salting of the user passwords. Can someone point me to a guide that does? I don't mind keeping the salt in the database, I just want to be able to have a different salt for each account. Thank you

GMail-like user labels in IMAP/dovecot, situation in 2017?
by Gioele Barabucci 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

Hello, I am in the process of updating my IMAP dovecot installation and I was wondering what is the current state of the art for GMail-like user-defined labels. Are GMail-like user-defined labels now somehow achievable with dovecot? If now, what is missing? Standardized metadata formats? Support in clients? I searched the web a bit but I could not find any activity in the relevant IETF working groups. That seems strange to me, because the user-defined labels looks like a feature many users would like to have. I suppose I haven't found the relevant discussion group. Is this kind of enhancement to IMAP being discussed somewhere? Regards, -- Gioele Barabucci <gioele(a)svario.it>

Poolmon: Problem with index-locking
by Tom Sommer 11 Jan '17

11 Jan '17

I have Poolmon (https://github.com/brandond/poolmon) set up. When it does all the checks concurrently, obviously there are locking issues on each mailserver it tests: "Warning: Locking transaction log file xxxx/indexes/dovecot.list.index.log took 60 seconds (syncing)" It's just an empty mailbox. Is there any way to do a login test, without locking the index files? Hence avoiding these warnings/errors? Thanks. -- Tom

doveadm output format changes
by Benoit Branciard 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

It appears that doveadm output format changes every now and then, without particular notice. For example, the following command: doveadm -f pager mailbox status 'messages recent' '*' did output something like this until v2.2.24 : mailbox: Mailbox1 messages: 58 recent: 12 ^L mailbox: Mailbox2 messages: 128 recent: 0 but switched to that in v2.2.26 : Mailbox1 messages: 58 recent: 12 ^L Mailbox2 messages: 128 recent: 0 This seems related to the following changelog entry: 2016-10-25 20:51:36 +0300 Timo Sirainen <timo.sirainen(a)dovecot.fi> (5baa99e) doveadm: "pager" formatter supports now DOVEADM_PRINT_HEADER_FLAG_HIDE_TITLE M src/doveadm/doveadm-print-pager.c Some other format changes did also occur in the past. For example, "doveadm user" had a specific format in v2.0.19 (and ignored the "-f format" option), and obviously defaulted to the "-f tab" format (which has different rendering) somewhere in the v2.2.x or 2.1.x. Such changes render maintenance of wrapping scripts particularly tedious. Could it be possible to avoid such breaking changes in the future ? -- Benoit BRANCIARD Service InfraStructures (SIS) Direction du Système d'Information et des Usages Numériques (DSIUN) Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne Centre Pierre Mendès France 90 rue de Tolbiac - 75634 Paris cedex 13 - France Bur.

Virtual POP3 namespaces and quota-status
by Aurélien Beaujean 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hi, I've tried to do configure Virtual POP3 INBOX (dovecot version 2.2.18) as explained here http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual with a static userdb and nopassword=y so I dont have any database on the dovecot server without the possibility to distinguish POP3 or IMAP in the userdb extra field to change the namespace on the fly. So I've put the namespace virtual informations inside the protocol pop3 { ... }, I did the same for the protocol imap { }: protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins last_login virtual namespace inbox { prefix = separator = / list = yes } namespace virtual { inbox = yes prefix = virtual/ separator = / location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=MEMORY list = no hidden = yes } namespace real { prefix = RealMails/ separator = / list = no hidden = yes } } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota last_login namespace inbox { inbox = yes } } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " quota sieve" namespace inbox { inbox = yes } } passdb { args = nopassword=y uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/%2Mn/%2.2Mn/%n driver = static } userdb { args = nopassword=y uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/%2Mn/%2.2Mn/%n driver = static } service quota-status { executable = quota-status -p postfix inet_listener { port = 12340 } process_min_avail = 8 } But the service quota-status getting lost with a message: namespace configuration error: inbox=yes namespace missing I didn't find a way to tell quota-status which namespace to use as you can't setup a default one. If I declare a "global" namespace inbox pop3 deamon fails because of duplicated namespace inbox in the configuration files: pop3(xxx): Error: User initialization failed: namespace configuration error: There can be only one namespace with inbox=yes Any idea before I will patch some piece of code to disable the unique restriction of inbox namespace ?

dsync for subscription on public/shared folder
by Mike Fröhner 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hello, I already wrote regarding that, but maybe it sounded too complex. I will write it a bit softer now. The replication through dsnyc works perfectly with one exception. I am having an issue with the replication of the subscriptions file on shared folder. We have a public mailbox defined: namespace public-test { location = maildir:/opt/mail/_public/test prefix = public/test/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } There 2 subfolder .Test1 and .Test2 which I would like to subscribe on my user "ldaptestuser" which is part of the group "ldaptestgroup" The dovecot-acl file on /opt/mail/_public/test and /opt/mail/_public/test/.Test{1,2} are the same and are containing: group=ldaptestgroup lrwstipekxa Now if I login through my client (Thunderbird or Roundcubemail) I can see the following debug log: dovecot: imap(ldaptestuser): Debug: acl: acl username = ldaptestuser dovecot: imap(ldaptestuser): Debug: acl: owner = 0 dovecot: imap(ldaptestuser): Debug: acl: group added: domain users dovecot: imap(ldaptestuser): Debug: acl: group added: ldaptestgroup dovecot: imap(ldaptestuser): Debug: acl: group added: all_mailuser I created one new private folder on the mailbox of my test user and also subscribed it. This subscription is successfully replicated. After that I am trying to subscribe the public folder. I can see the folder in my client after I subscribed them. But on the 2nd dovecot server the subscription file is not updated. imap-1 # cat subscription Private1 public/test/Test1 imap-2 # cat subscription Private1 The debug log on both dovecot server tells me: dovecot: doveadm(<ip>,ldaptestuser): Debug: Effective uid=834603987, gid=991, home=/opt/mail/ldaptestuser dovecot: doveadm(<ip>,ldaptestuser): Debug: acl: No acl_shared_dict setting - shared mailbox listing is disabled dovecot: doveadm(<ip>,ldaptestuser): Debug: maildir++: root=/opt/mail/_public/test, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= dovecot: doveadm(<ip>,ldaptestuser): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile dovecot: doveadm(<ip>,ldaptestuser): Debug: acl: acl username = ldaptestuser dovecot: doveadm(<ip>,ldaptestuser): Debug: acl: owner = 0 dovecot: doveadm(<ip>,ldaptestuser): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACLs disabled It looks like the doveadm() cannot find the group or is not checking/initalizing the groups. Anybody any idea if I missconfigured something or is this just a bug? I really would appreciate some help. kind regards, Mike;

Auth-policy: auth_policy_server_url and https support
by gregc＠olypensupport.com 08 Jan '17

When using Auth policy server it doesn’t currently doesn’t support https. In version 2.2.27: Policy server HTTP error: 9002 Couldn't initialize SSL context: Can't verify remote server certs without trusted CAs (ssl_client_ca_* settings) and in version 2.3.devel Policy server HTTP error: 9002 Requested https connection, but no SSL settings given dovecot.conf does have “ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs” set. Looking around the source, http-client-settings are not given the ssl_ca_dir or ssl_ca_file setting from the config. Admittedly SSL tear up/down is little expensive per auth, but I think it maybe it should still work?

auth: Error: BUG: Authentication client sent unknown handshake command
by Marcus Endberg 08 Jan '17

08 Jan '17

Hello! I run dovecot for many years now, but today it ran into a bug I've never seen before. Searching the archives, this bug seems to occur very seldom. The current server installation & configuration is running since mid 2015, uptime of the server today is more than two months. It is a virtual machine in a data center, debian 7 / reiserfs, 'dovecot -n' output below. Just within normal operation, suddenly my users could no longer check their IMAP accounts, log shows lots of entries like this: ----------------------- /var/log/mail.log excerpt --------------------- 2017-01-08 08:15:23 dovecot: auth: Error: BUG: Authentication client sent unknown handshake command: REQUEST?3484549121?11364?1?74fa603b892f9a262605ae6c2ce1d9a1 2017-01-08 08:15:23 dovecot: imap: Error: Authentication server didn't send valid SPID as expected: MECH#011PLAIN#011plaintext 2017-01-08 08:15:23 dovecot: imap: Error: Disconnected from auth server, aborting (client-pid=11364 client-id=1) 2017-01-08 08:15:23 dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure (pid=11364 id=1) (internal failure, 1 succesful auths): user=<USER_NAME>, method=PLAIN, rip=<USER_IP>, lip=85.214.143.57, mpid=11368, TLS, session=<0oiwA5BFmQBQhoL1> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Strangely, sending mails still worked fine (postfix uses dovecot SASL authentification).

Dovecot dsync tcps sends incomplete certificate chain
by Juri 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

Hi, I'm trying to configure a Dovecot dsync service between two servers, using a tcp+ssl connection and a valid Let's Encrypt certificate. I followed the guide on the wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Replication) using the tcps method, but when I launch the replication it fails writing on the log (/var/log/mail.err): (Server 1 - sync "client" )| Error: sync: Disconnected from remote: Received invalid SSL certificate: unable to get local issuer certificate: /CN=mail.dividebyzero.it (Server 2 - sync "server")| Error: doveadm client disconnected before handshake: <no error> If I try to connect to the server using openssl s_client, on the port 993 (imaps) the server correctly sends the full chain: $ openssl s_client -connect server1.fqdn:993 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=2 O = Digital Signature Trust Co., CN = DST Root CA X3 verify return:1 depth=1 C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = Let's Encrypt Authority X3 verify return:1 depth=0 CN = mail.dividebyzero.it verify return:1 --- Certificate chain 0 s:/CN=mail.dividebyzero.it i:/C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3 1 s:/C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3 i:/O=Digital Signature Trust Co./CN=DST Root CA X3 ... while on the doveadm port it fails: $ openssl s_client -connect server1.fqdn:7557 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=0 CN = mail.dividebyzero.it verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate verify return:1 depth=0 CN = mail.dividebyzero.it verify error:num=21:unable to verify the first certificate verify return:1 --- Certificate chain 0 s:/CN=mail.dividebyzero.it i:/C=US/O=Let's Encrypt/CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3 ...

IMAP proxy for Exchange - encrypted backend Communication?
by tom 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

Hello, I try to setup a IMAP proxy for my old Exchange server. Running Dovecot v2.x on Centos 7. So far I follow http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ImapcProxy and it seem to work. The only but major thing is with this setup - the communication between proxy and backend is not encrypted. :( To fix this, I changed the config and add: imapc_ssl=imaps imapc_port=993 but it doesnt work, because of verify failure of the self signed backend certificate: Jan 5 21:48:55 imap dovecot: imap(user1): Error: imapc(192.168.1.1:993): Couldn't initialize SSL context: Can't verify remote server certs without trusted CAs (ssl_client_ca_* settings) Jan 5 21:48:55 imap dovecot: imap(user1): Error: imapc(192.168.1.1:993): No SSL context Jan 5 21:48:55 imap dovecot: imap(user1): Error: imapc: Command failed: Disconnected from server Jan 5 21:48:55 imap dovecot: imap(user1): Error: user tkoenig: Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: Mailbox list driver imapc: Failed to access imapc backend Jan 5 21:48:55 imap dovecot: imap(user1): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. I didnt found anything in the documentation which tells dovcot not verify the backend certificate. Is there a know way to get it runing? Many thanks for any hint! regrds, Tom

dovecot-pigeonhole running external script ends with signal 11
by Tobi 06 Jan '17

06 Jan '17

Hi, I'm running a dovecot 2.2.26 (self compiled) on a Centos 7. I have a sieve script which should run an external script (in filter mode) that encrypts the mail using the users pub key. I configured 90-plugin.conf as follows plugin { sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.filter sieve_filter_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-filters sieve_filter_exec_timeout = 10000 } The script is named SCRIPT and is called in my sieve script require "vnd.dovecot.filter"; if blabla { filter "SCRIPT" ["me(a)example.com"]; } the script returns the encrypted mail. I can call this SCRIPT without any error manually on the console as dovecot user (vmail). Also sieve-test "says" that the script called sucessfully su vmail sieve-test -e -t - -Tlevel=commands -r me(a)example.com -l /home/vmail/example.com/me/.Maildir /home/vmail/example.com/me/.dovecot.sieve /tmp/test.mail ... 23: filter action 23: execute program `SCRIPT' 23: executed program successfully 23: changed message ... info: msgid=<B5OEuIEvrCZzcoJ7A6fCF-ka2Nwz-Ze2UCO840Panvw.w7zr1vruaJMbDBwK63natps3v__yOgbhHy3ntACTU0s@redacted>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX'. sieve-test(vmail): Info: final result: success and I get the encrpted message in my mailbox. Just when it's called upon delivery via lmtp the script ends with signal 11 Jan 3 15:59:48 mbox2 dovecot: lmtp(me(a)example.com): Error: program `/etc/dovecot/sieve-filters/SCRIPT' terminated abnormally, signal 11 And in ~/.dovecot.sieve.log I can find the following .dovecot: line 23: error: filter action: failed to execute to program `SCRIPT': refer to server log for more information. [2017-01-03 15:59:48]. I have no idea why the manual call runs perfect and the call from sieve file ends up in this error. Does anyone have an idea how I could narrow down the source of this error? Or even better how to fix it? :-) Thanks for any answer tobi

dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent: error messages for public mailbox folder
by Andreas Ntaflos 03 Jan '17

03 Jan '17

Hi list, running Dovecot 2.2.27 on Ubuntu 14.04. A public mailbox "Public/Spam-Learning" in a public namespace with per-user "Seen" flags is configured like this: namespace pub { hidden = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/var/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/public prefix = Public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public mailbox "Spam-Learning" { auto = subscribe } } The log files are full of error messages like these (got about 15000 in the last three days): 2017-01-03T11:19:28.242386+01:00 mailserver01 dovecot: imap(foo.bar(a)example.org): Error: /var/vmail/example.org/foo.bar/Maildir/public/.Spam-Learning/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent 2017-01-03T11:19:28.248524+01:00 mailserver01 dovecot: imap(foo.bar(a)example.org): Error: /var/vmail/example.org/foo.bar/Maildir/public/.Spam-Learning/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent 2017-01-03T11:23:50.209732+01:00 mailserver01 dovecot: imap(baz.quux(a)example.org): Error: /var/vmail/example.org/baz.quux/Maildir/public/.Spam-Learning/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent 2017-01-03T11:23:50.775940+01:00 mailserver01 dovecot: imap(some.user(a)example.org): Error: /var/vmail/example.org/some.user/Maildir/public/.Spam-Learning/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent 2017-01-03T11:25:38.419536+01:00 mailserver01 dovecot: imap(other.user(a)example.org): Error: /var/vmail/example.org/other.user/Maildir/public/.Spam-Learning/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent 2017-01-03T11:34:14.351346+01:00 mailserver01 dovecot: imap(more.user(a)example.org): Error: /var/vmail/example.org/more.user/Maildir/public/.Spam-Learning/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent 2017-01-03T11:41:37.488916+01:00 mailserver01 dovecot: imap(support.user(a)example.org): Error: /var/vmail/example.org/support.user/Maildir/public/.Spam-Learning/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent This problem did not seem to manifest itself in Dovecot 2.2.25, we see it only after upgrading to 2.2.27. I am not sure what the effects are. It seems that messages moved to the Public/Spam-Learning folder are deleted after a short while (not by the sa-learn cron job, which runs every morning) but I currently cannot say if this is because a user deletes them explicitly or because Dovecot does something it shouldn't. So this observation is possibly not relevant. It also doesn't seem to matter what kind of IMAP client access the Spam-Learning folder. Our users use Thunderbird, Apple Mail, Outlook, Roundcube, Horde and various mobile clients as well. I have attached the output of doveconf -n for reference. What could be the issue here? Are we doing something wrong or is this a bug in Dovecot? Thanks! Andreas

expunging all mailboxes
by Michael Fox 03 Jan '17

03 Jan '17

Evidently, the 'doveadm expunge' command requires a "mailbox" to be defined in the search string. But is there a way tell it all mailboxes for a user? For example, something like: doveadm expunge -u user@domain mailbox ALL savedbefore 30d Thanks, Michael

two listeners with different "driver = " configs
by mj 03 Jan '17

03 Jan '17

Hi, I would like to have two seperate imap listeners, with different authentication settings, but the mailstore and userbase etc will be identical. I know I can do this: > service imap-login { > inet_listener imap { > port = 143 > } > inet_listener imap2 { > port = 144 > } > } But I'm unsure how to configure imap/143 with "driver = ldap" and imap2/144 with "driver = pam" Just to explain why i would like this: I am using pam-script-saml (https://github.com/ck-ws/pam-script-saml) to enable saml-based access to dovecot. I would like to have one listener 144 to only serve this saml authentication listener, and the regular 143 listener with driver = ldap. Is that config possible? Best regards, MJ

differential SETACL silently fails if no vfile exists
by Vincent Breitmoser 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

In version 2.2.13, with `acl = vfile`, setting a differential ACL permission doesn't work if there are no permissions set yet. Example IMAP log: b1 GETACL test * ACL test valodim lrwstipekxacd b1 OK Getacl completed. b2 SETACL test valodim -l b2 OK Setacl complete. b3 GETACL test * ACL test valodim lrwstipekxacd b3 OK Getacl completed. My expectation was that the file would be created with default permissions, and the requested change then applied. However, no acl permission is set and no vfile is created for this mailbox in the process. This does work as expected (and a file is created) if I set a non-differential ACL first: b4 SETACL test valodim lrwstipekxacd b4 OK Setacl complete. b5 GETACL test * ACL test valodim akxeilprwtscd b5 OK Getacl completed. b6 SETACL test valodim -l b6 OK Setacl complete. b7 GETACL test * ACL test valodim akxeiprwtscd b7 OK Getacl completed. - V

dovecot-ldap.conf.ext for FreeIPA usage
by Matt . 29 Dec '16

29 Dec '16

Hello, I'm figuring out how to auth users against FreeIPA and I wonder if someone did this without GSAPI. My users are stored in a mysql DB where I wonder what I shall use as authname, the username or the mailaddress. As the mailaddress is always unique it could be best but if a user has multiple mailaddresses under seperate domains username might be better. Any clue here and maybe an example for dovecot-ldap.conf.ext when using FreeIPA ? Thanks! Matt

IPv4/IPv6 mismatches of doveadm: Fatal: connect(fd00:b::1:12345) failed: Connection refused
by Michael Grimm 28 Dec '16

28 Dec '16

Hi — I recently extendend my IPsec tunnel between two mail servers to deal with IPv4 addresses in addition to IPv6 ones. (No specific reason for that.) I ran into an issue worth reporting. This is Dovecot v2.2.27 (c0f36b0) at FreeBSD STABLE-11. Previously: dovecot.conf: plugin { mail_replica = tcp:remote.test } service doveadm { inet_listener { address = [::] } } | local> host remote.test: remote.test has IPv6 address fd00:b::1 working well. Currently: dovecot.conf: plugin { mail_replica = tcp:remote.test } service doveadm { inet_listener { address = * } } | local> host remote.test: remote.test has address 10.2.0.1 remote.test has IPv6 address fd00:b::1 Now, Replication stops and throws an error like: | <mail.crit> local.test dovecot: doveadm(user): Fatal: connect(fd00:b::1:12345) failed: Connection refused If I either #) remove IPv6 from my lokal DNS, #) use "mail_replica = tcp:10.2.0.1", or #) define the appropriate IPv4 address of remote.test in /etc/hosts, then replication works as usual. Hmm, shouldn't doveadm be more persistent in using every IP address of that entry of mail_replica *before* throwing a "Fatal:" error? Or do I miss something, and it's a feature, instead? Regards, Michael

Identify if a message_part is an attachment ?
by Sai Kiran Gummaraj 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Hello, This is my first post to this group. I have read through the instructions before posting. I hope am doing the right thing. If not my sincere apologies. I am in the process of developing a dovecot IMAP plugin (over v2.2.25). The plugin works with mdbox/sdbox which has ability to keep attachments as external references (via SiS POSIX). The plugin must enable fetching attachment from REDIS instead of local-store. To accomplish this I was following dovecot via my debugger. I wanted to understand if there was a way to determine a message_part to be of an attachment type ? Thanks. -- Regards, Sai Kiran cmd_fetch() |_ imap_fetch_more() |_ imap_fetch_more_int() |_ imap_fetch_state *state = &ctx->state; state->cur_mail is NULL. search mailbox |_ mailbox_search_next(state->search_ctx, &state->cur_mail) |_ mailbox_search_next_nonblock (via vfunc) |_ index_storage_search_next_nonblock |_ search_more_with_prefetching(ctx, mail_r) |_ mail = index_search_get_mail(ctx) |_ allocates mail (vfunc mail_alloc) and calls hook. |_ also allocates index_mails ret = search_more_with_mail(ctx, mail); |_ call handler (*h) => fetch_body_msgpart |_ imap_msgpart_open |_ imap_msgpart_find_part(mail, msgpart, &part); /* only mail comes here */ mail (uid=1739, seq=5) msgpart (section_number = 2, fetch_type = FETCH_MIME_BODY, partial_offset = 0, partial_size = 512, decode_cte_to_binary = 0) |_ mail_get_parts(mail, &parts) /* atmail send msgpart */ |_ call to p->v.get_parts(mail, parts_r) (index_mail_get_parts) /* atmail over-ride this function */ |_ get_cached_parts(mail) /* sets data->part */ |_ get_unserialized_parts(index_mail) |_ get_serialized_parts(mail, &part_buf) |_ index_mail_cache_lookup_field |_ mail_cache_lookup_field |_ imap_msgpart_open_normal() |_ .. see call stack below ..

I went from an self-compiled source, to 'repsitory'-version (from version 2.1.6, to 2.2.13) luuk@opensuse:~/bin> id uid=1000(luuk) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),7(lp),33(video),118(vboxusers) luuk@opensuse:~/bin> doveadm quota recalc luuk@opensuse:~/bin> doveadm quota recalc -u luuk doveadm(luuk): Error: userdb lookup: connect(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Connection refused doveadm(luuk): Fatal: User lookup failed: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. Why is it that with the '-u' option, doveadm is getting a connection refused? -- Luuk

postlogin script - still confused
by Michael Fox 25 Dec '16

25 Dec '16

> You need to use executable = script-login -- /path/post-login.sh -a -r -g > note the double-dash. it tells getopt to stop processing arguments. > > Aki OK. Thanks. So let me make sure I have this right, since there is no syntax defined on the wiki - just an example which doesn't show the above syntax. The valid possibilities are: executable = script-login [-d] /path/script1 /path/script2 ... -or- executable = script-login [-d] -- /path/script1 -a -r -g -s In other words, I can either call multiple scripts, each with no arguments, or I can call one script with arguments. But I cannot call multiple scripts, some with arguments, some without arguments. Is that correct? If not, please show all valid syntax options. Also, regarding the exec "$@" line shown at the end of the wiki examples. If I pass arguments "-a -r -g -s" to my script, as in: executable = script-login -- /path/script1 -a -r -g -s then doesn't the exec "$@" line at the end become: exec -a -r -g -s And surely that's not right. So, could you please explain in words the purpose of the exec line at the end - what it does, why it's needed, and what to do if I'm sending arguments to my postlogin script? Thanks, Michael

Domains on different IPs
by Mark Constable 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

I want to supply separate Letsencrypt certificates for each virtual domain and seeing that SNI does not work I need to allocate separate IPs. Could anyone give some pointers, or keywords to search for, on... a) how to make dovecot listen for different domains on different IPs? b) how to configure separate SSL certs for each of these IPs?

The left angle bracket at the beginning of the certificate path

dovecot 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) openSUSE Tumbleweed x86_64 https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/521796-Dovecot-doveconf-Fatal-ex… Faced with an unpleasant situation, when ssl_client_ca_file options are specified path to the left angle bracket, as in options ssl_key ssl_cert ssl_ca path is so. This doveconf shows no syntax error, and the arrow moves to managesieve which there generally is not involved in any side. dovecot: doveconf: Fatal: execvp(/usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve) failed: Argument list too long dovecot: config: Error: managesieve-login: dump-capability process returned 89 I consider this a bug, and that it should not be. And explain why you need left angle brackets in the options ssl_key ssl_cert ssl_ca?

doveadm acl set negative rights not supported?
by Peter Benko 21 Dec '16

21 Dec '16

Hi all, I'm trying to set an ACL with negative rights. I have no problems setting it with standard IMAP commands, but I'm unable to do it with the doveadm acl command. I tried: sudo -u vmail doveadm acl set -u "user@domain" Spam user="-user@domain" lookup (notice the "-" before the username) Unfortunately, this adds a (positive) ACL for the user named "-user@domain" instead of adding a negative one for the user "user@domain". Am I messing up something or is negative ACL support missing from doveadm? I have not seen anything in the docs about this... Regards, Peter

unexpected behaviour of search queries with mixed AND and OR
by Juergen Raschke 20 Dec '16

20 Dec '16

Hello, I found out an unexpected behaviour of search queries with mixed "AND" and "OR". With search query "$ condA OR condB condC $" I get an error: Fatal: Use parenthesis when mixing ANDs and ORs if I switch left and right OR-part and use the query "$ condB condC OR condA $" I get a result, but it is not the expected result of the query "$ \( condB condC $ OR condA \)" I get the result of the query "$ condB OR condC OR condA $" which is more then suprising. The query "$ condB condC OR condA $" should either throw an error like "$ condA OR condB condC $" or deliever the result of "$ \( condB condC $ OR condA \)" Example: doveadm -f flow fetch -u USER guid $ savedbefore 21d OR seen savedbefore 5d $ | wc -l Fatal: Use parenthesis when mixing ANDs and ORs 0 doveadm -f flow fetch -u USER guid $ seen savedbefore 5d OR savedbefore 21d $ | wc -l 63690 doveadm -f flow fetch -u USER guid $ seen OR savedbefore 5d OR savedbefore 21d $ | wc -l 63690 doveadm -f flow fetch -u USER guid $ \( seen savedbefore 5d $ OR savedbefore 21d \) |wc -l 63247 doveadm -f flow fetch -u USER guid $ savedbefore 21d OR \( seen savedbefore 5d $ \) |wc -l 63247 doveconf -n # 2.2.24 (a82c823): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.9 (357ac0a0e68b+) # OS: Linux 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.9 Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Juergen Raschke -- Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

Upgrade from version 1 to 2

Hi All I am upgrading from dovecot-1.2.17 to dovecot2-2.2.27_4. I configured version 2 from scratch. I have email in the maildir format. Would it be ok in theory if I simply copy over the email files from the version 1 server to the version 2 server or are there any hidden dangers here? Any problems with indexing? Thanks for any advice

Renumbering UID on messages
by Ricardo Branco 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

I am having a problem with Horde due to large variations in email UID for a few users. At one time they were receiving thousands of emails a day, they have deleted all these messages but because they still have early emails in the mailbox the UID range from start to now is massive. We use Horde webmail and it creates an internal array based on range of messages but due to large UID range it eats though the ram. If I use dsync on a mailbox will the UIDs be renumbered? -- The information contained in or attached to this email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

Hi there, Quoting RFC 3501 sec. 7.4.2 “FETCH Response” (data item BODYSTRUCTURE): “A body type of type MESSAGE and subtype RFC822 contains, immediately after the basic fields, the envelope structure, body structure, and size in text lines of the encapsulated message.” According the ABNF (RFC 3501 sec. 9) the envelope structure is that of the ENVELOPE FETCH data item, and the env-{from,sender,reply-to,to,cc, bcc} fields are non-space-separated address lists: body-type-msg = media-message SP body-fields SP envelope SP body SP body-fld-lines envelope = "(" env-from SP … SP env-to SP … ")" env-from = "(" 1*address ")" / nil env-to = "(" 1*address ")" / nil While this is indeed the case for ‘FETCH … (ENVELOPE)’, for ‘FETCH … (BODY)’ dovecot 2.2.25 adds a space between addresses of an address list of the envelope structure of an encapsulated MESSAGE/RFC822 message. See the attached patch to ‘src/lib-imap/test-imap-bodystructure.c’, which currently (2.2.25) fails as follows test-imap-bodystructure.c:122: Assert failed: strcmp(str_c(str), testmsg_body) == 0 test-imap-bodystructure.c:129: Assert failed: strcmp(str_c(str), testmsg_bodystructure) == 0 imap bodystructure parser ............................................ : FAILED because the ‘env-to’ field of the envelope structure of the encapsulated MESSAGE/RFC822 message is printed as ((NIL NIL "sub-to1" "domain.org") (NIL NIL "sub-to2" "domain.org")) while it should be ((NIL NIL "sub-to1" "domain.org")(NIL NIL "sub-to2" "domain.org")) After a quick look at the source, this seems to be due to src/lib-imap/imap-bodystructure.c:imap_write_list, which always separates list items with spaces. In the case of an envelope, only the top-level list should be space-separated. Indeed, not adding a space between items of type IMAP_ARG_LIST in the recursive call makes the test pass again. Cheers, -- Guilhem.

Error while migrating mailbox with 'doveadm sync'
by Zhang Huangbin 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Dear all, I successfully migrated hundreds of mailboxes with Dovecot 2.2.24 on OpenBSD 6.0 (amd64. Old server is OpenBSD 5.1, i386, Dovecot-2.0.17), but got error while migrating 3 mailboxes: # doveadm -o mail_fsync=never sync -1 -R -s '' -u user(a)domain.com imapc: dsync(user(a)domain.com): Panic: file mailbox-alias-plugin.c: line 77 (mailbox_symlink_exists): assertion failed: (ret > 0) Abort trap Same error while running ‘doveadm … backup …'. What does this error actually mean? How can i fix it? - Here’s full log running doveadm with ‘-D’ option: http://pastebin.com/Um5fbuNM - ‘dovecot -n’ on old server: http://pastebin.com/4E6xzFKU - ‘dovecot -n’ on new server: http://pastebin.com/4uHwQnMN I checked release notes of Dovecot 2.2.25/26/27, there’re 3 fixes related to 'doveadm sync’, but not sure whether it helps fix this issue. 2.2.26: + doveadm sync/backup: Added -I <max size> parameter to skip too large mails. + doveadm sync/backup: Fixed -t parameter and added -e for "end date”. 2.2.27: - doveadm sync -1: Fixed handling mailbox GUID conflicts.

Antispam plugin: insufficent error messages
by Volker Wysk 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Hi! "Dovecot always logs a detailed error message if something goes wrong. If it doesn't, it's considered a bug and will be fixed." (http:// wiki2.dovecot.org/Logging) I'm trying to set up a spam filter with dovecot-antispam and dspam as backend. When I move a spam message from INBOX to Spam, I get this in syslog: Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(Spam): 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(INBOX): 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(Spam): 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mail copy: from trash: 0, to trash: 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(INBOX): 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(Spam): 1 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(INBOX): 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mail copy: src spam: 0, dst spam: 1, src unsure: 0 There are no log entries about how dspam is called, or what goes on. Indeed, dspam doesn't get called at all. I know, because I've examined the antispam- plugin source code. There would be a log message if dspam was called. It's hard to study the source code, because there are hardly any comments. I have been able to trace the problem to function signature_extract_to_list() in signature.c. There, -1 is returned: int signature_extract_to_list(const struct signature_config *cfg, struct mailbox_transaction_context *t, struct mail *mail, struct siglist **list, enum classification wanted) { const char *const *signatures; struct siglist *item; signatures = get_mail_headers(mail, cfg->signature_hdr); if (!signatures || !signatures[0]) { if (!cfg->signature_nosig_ignore) { mail_storage_set_error(t->box->storage, ME(NOTPOSSIBLE) "antispam signature not found"); return -1; /* <-- HERE */ } else { return 0; } } while (signatures[1]) signatures++; item = i_new(struct siglist, 1); item->next = *list; item->wanted = wanted; item->sig = i_strdup(signatures[0]); *list = item; return 0; } So, what's happening is "antispam signature not found". My question: What does this mean? What's going on? My "dovecot -n" output is attached. Bye Volker

Managing Sieve on macOS 10.12 Sierra with Server 5.2?
by Gerben Wierda 17 Dec '16

17 Dec '16

I don’t know if this is considered OT, but dovecot has support for sieve. I had a rule set running under Mac OS X 10.8.5 Server 2.2.5 which I did maintain by hand on the server because a while before Mac OS X Server had dropped support for Squirrelmail. Now I wonder if there is a decent way to get sieve running again on macOS 10.12 Sierra with Server 5.2 G

Existing shared mailbox ... does not exist
by Ruga 17 Dec '16

17 Dec '16

Hello, Dovecot 2.2.26.0 Thunderbird 45.4.0 ESR Scenario: We have a shared mailbox with e-mails in its subdirectories. There are no e-mails in the shared mailbox itself. Example: /Shared <----------------------------------- empty /Shared/call_for_papers <-------------- empty /Shared/call_for_papers/AAMAS <-- populated ...more of the same... Problem: When selecting /Shared, Thunderbird chirps this message: "The current operation on 'Shared' did not succeed. The mail server for account @example.com responded: Mailbox doesn't exist: Shared/Shared (0.000 + 0.000 secs)."

service(indexer-worker): child 18977 killed with signal 11 (core dumped)

Hello to everybody, first of all: thanks a lot for your hard work and for this nice piece of software! After many search about the following SIGSEGV, I decide to post the backtrace and I hope to have avoided duplicated thread. The problem arise after I enable clucene fts. I tryed the clucene ports version (I am using OpenBSD) and a fixed version from github (Blue-Rocket/clucene::feature/pod) which contains FreeBSD fixes and others memory leak patches, but the problem persists. I built either dovecot-* and clucene-core with -g and the following logs are taken from that version. Maybe, I can do more debugging but I don't know how; some ideas? thanks a lot == LOG == Dec 16 12:30:34 mail02 dovecot: indexer-worker(user@hostname): Indexed 1 messages in Trash Dec 16 12:31:16 mail02 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user@hostname>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.244.3.101, lip=10.244.3.200, mpid=90234, TLS, session=<68Ny6MRDml8K9ANl> Dec 16 12:31:16 mail02 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user@hostname>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.244.3.101, lip=10.244.3.200, mpid=59810, TLS, session=<c7xz6MRDzV4K9ANl> Dec 16 12:31:16 mail02 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user@hostname>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.244.3.101, lip=10.244.3.200, mpid=66756, TLS, session=<UtNz6MRDiJwK9ANl> Dec 16 12:31:16 mail02 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user@hostname>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.244.3.101, lip=10.244.3.200, mpid=81959, TLS, session=<gJZ06MRD9HQK9ANl> Dec 16 12:31:16 mail02 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user@hostname>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.244.3.101, lip=10.244.3.200, mpid=14099, TLS, session=<BL116MRD3DgK9ANl> Dec 16 12:31:16 mail02 dovecot: indexer-worker(user@hostname): Indexed 1 messages in INBOX Dec 16 12:32:18 mail02 dovecot: indexer-worker: Fatal: master: service(indexer-worker): child 18977 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) == GDB == (gdb) bt #0 strlen () at /usr/src/lib/libc/arch/amd64/string/strlen.S:152 #1 0x0000093434d7c120 in __vfprintf (fp=0x7f7fffff96c0, fmt0=0x9343cef79ae "Timeout leak: %p (%s:%u)", ap=Variable "ap" is not available. ) at /usr/src/lib/libc/stdio/vfprintf.c:885 #2 0x0000093434d9b068 in *_libc_vsnprintf (str=0x933ab0940b8 "Timeout leak: 0x9342f652300", n=120, fmt=0x9343cef79ae "Timeout leak: %p (%s:%u)", ap=0x7f7fffff9870) at /usr/src/lib/libc/stdio/vsnprintf.c:61 #3 0x000009343cdd4aa5 in str_vprintfa (str=0x933ab094078, fmt=0x9343cef79ae "Timeout leak: %p (%s:%u)", args=0x7f7fffff9870) at str.c:129 #4 0x000009343cdaacd1 in internal_handler (ctx=0x9343d22fab0, format=0x9343cef79ae "Timeout leak: %p (%s:%u)", args=0x7f7fffff9870) at failures.c:602 #5 0x000009343cdab839 in i_internal_error_handler (ctx=Variable "ctx" is not available. ) at failures.c:677 #6 0x000009343cdab3f4 in i_warning (format=0x9343cef79ae "Timeout leak: %p (%s:%u)") at failures.c:325 #7 0x000009343cdc107b in io_loop_destroy (_ioloop=Variable "_ioloop" is not available. ) at ioloop.c:741 #8 0x000009343cd485bd in master_service_deinit (_service=Variable "_service" is not available. ) at master-service.c:876 #9 0x0000093193802642 in main (argc=1, argv=0x7f7fffff9b28) at indexer-worker.c:83 (gdb) bt full #0 strlen () at /usr/src/lib/libc/arch/amd64/string/strlen.S:152 No locals. #1 0x0000093434d7c120 in __vfprintf (fp=0x7f7fffff96c0, fmt0=0x9343cef79ae "Timeout leak: %p (%s:%u)", ap=Variable "ap" is not available. ) at /usr/src/lib/libc/stdio/vfprintf.c:885 mbs = { __mbstate8 = "{\t\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000r3\t\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\0004\t\000\000\001\000\000\000\000\000\000\000223\177\177\000\000\001\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\002\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\t216U\035\rP", '\0' <repeats 47 times>, __mbstateL = 10118011532464} mbseqlen = Variable "mbseqlen" is not available. == DOVECONF == #

making a plugin encrypt index data
by micah anderson 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

Hello, I'm encrypting mail on disk using a plugin[0], but the index files are not encrypted (specifically the dovecot.index.cache can be read). I want to do is encrypt index on disk, so I'm looking for how a plugin can achieve that by hooking into the right locations. Is that easily possible in a plugin? I can turn off those indexes by passing INDEX=MEMORY, but that isn't possible if I use sdbox/mdbox. thanks for any suggestions! micah 0. https://0xacab.org/riseuplabs/tofu-scrambler
