Hi all, is there any way of exclude messages storaged in alternate storage (*dbox mailbox format) from being included in the quota usage? I think this is not possible but let me ask.

Advice on once a day message delivery setup
by KT Walrus 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

I’m adding once a day mail delivery to my site. Messages are marked by the sender as “overnight” or “once a week” delivery. The way I’m planning on implementing this is to queue messages until midnight in a MySQL database. Each mailbox will be kept in two Dovecot mailstores. The first mailstore will give the users IMAP access to their mailbox. A second mailstore will hold the next day’s new messages. At midnight, a cron job runs to send messages in the MySQL database out to the second mailstore. Then, at 6am, a second cron job will run to sync the two mailstores using doveadm sync. What I am expecting to happen is that during the day, notification messages (from the site) may be delivered to the first mailstore (the one providing IMAP access to the user) but no messages from other users sent during the day will come until after 6am the next day. Each time the user submits a new message, a notification message is sent back to the sender with a link for editing the queued message in the MySQL database and an indication of when it is scheduled for delivery. I am kind of assuming that the morning sync process is fast enough so it can easily complete before noon (in 6 hours) even if I end up having lots of mailboxes on each fully loaded Dovecot server. Is the doveadm sync process reliable and efficient enough for this type of “once a day” morning new message mail delivery? Or, should I just start delivering messages after midnight and not bother with the second mailstore and subsequent sync? Just looking for any advice… I kind of like the idea of modeling my mail service after the US Post Office where the mailman delivers new mail once a day rather than like Twitter/Facebook where messages are posted in real time to encourage users to monitor their boxes throughout the day.

doveadm-server protocol change?
by Heiko Schlittermann 13 Jun '16

Hi, I'm doing quota checks from a remote machine (the real setup is a bit more complex, if necessary I can explain it in more detail, but I just extracted the bits that are easily reproduceable) # nc backend1 24245 VERSION doveadm-server 1 0 PLAIN agrVMDvHgz0ya2HHzax5svwB2ZHS¹ + heiko quota get But since the backend is upgraded to 2.2.22 it's not possible anymore. The exuse in the log of the backend is: dovecot: doveadm(149.1.1.1¹): Fatal: USER environment is missing and -u option not used Running the `doveadm quota get -u heiko` locally on the backend works as expected.

Potential bug report: Cannot use ":args" option via Pigeonhole Sieve pipe plugin
by Zeeshan Muhammad 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Hi all, Following the instructions noted at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Pipe , I am trying to make use of the Pigeonhole sieve pipe plugin to execute an application with custom arguments via my test sieve script: require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe"]; if address :is "to" "test(a)example.com" { pipe :args [ "first-arg", "second-arg" ] "sieve-pipe-example"; } I am editing my test sieve script via Mozilla Thunderbird v45.1.1 using the Sieve email-client addon (v0.2.3h, see https://github.com/thsmi/sieve#releases and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/sieve/ ) When I attempt to save the example sieve script above, I get the following error returned by ManageSieve via Mozilla Thunderbird's Sieve addon: "The script could not be saved: Sieve mail filter: line 3: error: unknown tagged argument ':args' for the pipe command (reported only once at first occurrence). Sieve mail filter: error: validation failed." I have setup sieve-pipe-example as follows in my 90-sieve.conf configuration: service sieve-pipe-script { executable = script /usr/bin/echo user = dovenull # socket name is program-name in Sieve unix_listener sieve-pipe-example { } } I cannot see where I am going wrong. I have combed through the specification at http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole/raw-file/tip/doc/rfc/spec-bos… as well as the official Dovecot/Pigeonhole wiki-pages and cannot find a solution. If I omit the :args option (and the arguments array), the sieve script successfully gets accepted by ManageSieve.

Marking an entire mailbox read
by ＠lbutlr 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

I have an archive mailbox that contains in excess of 100,000 mail messages (stored in maildir) that accidentally got marked as unread. It is too large for my mail client to select all the mail and mark it as read without throttling. Is there a simple way that I can use doveadm or something to simply mark every message in that maildir as read? Or do I just loop through every message and move it to <messaage>+S? find ~/Maildir/.Archive/cur/* -type f -name “1*:2” --exec mv {} {}S \; -- By the way, I think you might be the prettiest girl I've ever seen outside the pages of a really filthy magazine

sieve vacation script exclude based on sender email address
by Harondel J. Sibble 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

I thought I'd asked this question a few years ago but can't seem to find any eveidence of that so here goes. I've been looking at the sieve docs and recipes, done a lot of googling but no joy so far. Using stanard vacation script and that works great, however I want to exclude certain sender email addressess from ever receiving a vacation autoresponse, how do I go about adding that to my existing vacation recipe. I suspect my search terminology is what is causing me not to find anything as I typically am using exclude and similar search terms. -- Harondel J. Sibble Sibble Computer Consulting Ltd.

Scalability of Dovecot in the Cloud
by KT Walrus 12 Jun '16

12 Jun '16

Does anyone have any idea of how many IMAP connections a single cloud VM (4 vCores at 2.4GHz, 30GB RAM, local SSD storage - non-RAID) can be expected to handle in production. The mailboxes are fairly small (average 5MB total - 50MB max, as I don’t store attachments in Dovecot expect those saved through IMAP in the Sent/Drafts folders) and each user will probably have an average of 2 devices that have the mail clients configured to access each mailbox. Can such a server handle 100,000 mailboxes (200,000 devices/clients)? Or is it more like 10,000? Or, even smaller? I can scale the cloud VM up to 32 vCores and 240GB RAM (at 8 times the price) or split the mailboxes onto multiple VMs. The VM will also be running LMTP and other Dovecot services (I don’t plan on supporting POP3 at this time). The mailboxes will be sync’d to a backup VM running Dovecot for high availability so has some load from this background activity. LMTP will not be that high a load, I think, since most messages will be delivered by at night. But, clients will have IMAP connections 24/7. Just trying to get an idea of the cost of running a potentially huge/growing mail service in the cloud… I’m going to have to support around a million mailboxes before the site will generate significant revenue to support operations.

postfix+dovecot and usernames different to e-mail addresses
by Benjamin 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Hi, I want to replace an old mailserver setup with postfix+dovecot. The problem I'm facing now is, that the old system had usernames different to the e-mail address of the user. For example: E-Mail-Address: foo(a)example.com Username: foo-example.com I configured postfix so that it passes mails to dovecot using the following command (master.cf): dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mail-data:mail-data argv=/usr/lib/dovecot /dovecot-lda -a $(recipient) When dovecot now receives an e-mail from postfix it logs dovecot: lda(mail-data): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace 'INBOX.': Home directory not set for user. Can't expand ~/ for mail root dir in: ~/Maildir dovecot: lda: Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. My dovecot-ldap configuration looks quite simple: hosts = 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2 dn = cn=mailadmin,dc=example,dc=com dnpass = foo auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = ou=users,dc=example,dc=com user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u)) pass_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u)) I think dovecot does not know that the username is not the e-mail address, but how can I tell him? Furthermore we have alternative addresses here, so for example there may be an e-mail address bar(a)example.com owned by foo-example.com who has foo(a)example.com as primary address. Dovecot itself (IMAP) works fine, so here it can find the correct Maildir for the user. The difference is, that I connect using the username instead of the e-mail address in this case. # dovecot --version 2.2.22 (fe789d2) # postconf -d | grep mail_version mail_version = 3.1.0 # lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial Thanks for your help Benjamin

Easily kick and flush dovecot cache for all dovecot mailboxes in a domain
by Murray T. | Dreamscape 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Hi, We are running a dovecot director cluster. We want to be able to easily kick all mailboxes in a domain off all backend mailstores. We also then want to flush the dovecot cache for all dovecot mailboxes in the domain. Is there a single command we can run on one of the front-end director mail proxies or backend mailstores that will do this instead of having to kick or flush each mailbox in a domain individually on each mailstore.

You've rediscovered digesting, which many mailing list (including this one), will batch up messages and periodically send them as one large message (using MIME multipart or some other combination technique). The only difference is that your doing it at the receiving end. I wouldn't recommend it for all mail, but it could be useful to aggregate high-volume low-priority mail into managable chunks. There are many ways you could accomplish it, but the most straightforward way is to deliver new mail to sideline mailbox, and have a cron script deliver them to the user's INBOX (possibly digesting them into one message).

password expire warning for dovecot users in IMAP/POP login
by mkawada＠redhat.com 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

Dear list, Is it possible to give a notification about password exprire warning to users authenticated by OpenLDAP when the users login via dovecot using IMAP or POP? For example, when you ssh to a server and/or run ldapsearch, you can be warned with password expire warning like below: # ssh testuser@localhost testuser@localhost's password: Your password will expire in 31 minute(s). <== Last login: Wed Jun 8 12:22:08 2016 from localhost.localdomain ]$ ldapsearch -LLL -D uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com -w redhat "cn=testuser" -e ppolicy ldap_bind: Success (0) (Password expires in 1808 seconds) <== dn: uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com Does the same can be done for dovecot users authenticated by OpenLDAP in IMAP/POP? Thanks, -- Masaharu Kawada

segfault in IMAP APPEND with compressed maildir
by Roland Rosenfeld 08 Jun '16

Hi! After upgrading from Debian wheezy with (self compiled) dovecot 2.2.15 to Debian jessie with (self compiled) 2.2.24, I observe the following segmentation fault in the logs: Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Error: read(<imap client>) failed: read(size=8003) failed: Connection reset by peer (uid=0, box=trash) Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Error: zlib.read(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap): unexpected EOF at 88001 Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Error: read(zlib(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap)) failed: read(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap) failed: zlib.read(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap): unexpected EOF at 88001 (uid=0, box=trash) Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 22902 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) We also observed the same (rare) error in the past on the old system. But on the old system, there were only the first 3 lines without the segmentation fault, so we ignored the issue until now. The problem always happens on IMAP folders where the client writes to, like "trash", "drafts", "sent" and the like. I wasn't able to actively reproduce this issue, but can only observe in the logs that some customers run into this issue from time to time. So all I have is a core dump with the following backtrace: Core was generated by `dovecot/imap'. Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Slow auth
by Ranbir 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Hi Everyone, I'm running dovecot on a CentOS 7 box using PLAIN and GSSAPI auth. I need to use both because I have some clients that can't use GSSAPI. I haven't been able to get the userdb working properly without a password file and a userdb file. For example, I have to set the home default and change the username_format. I use FreeIPA and the dovecot server is joined properly to the realm. Authentication works (I don't have any passwords in the userdb file). The problem is authentication is slow. When I use Roundcube, the login takes longer than it should. In fact, every operation (changing folders, opening an email, replying, etc.) is just slow. The web server where Roundcube is running is barely loaded, the dovecot server isn't loaded and the FreeIPA server is basically sitting idle. When I watch /var/log/secure as I login to roundcube, I see this in the logs: http://pastebin.ca/3620032 Why is pam_unix being hit and then pam_sss? I'm thinking the pam_unix failures are the reason why the auth is slow. Here's the output from dovecot -n: http://pastebin.ca/3620029 I'm sure I haven't configured something correctly, hence the performance problems. Any help would be appreciated. -- Ranbir

Multiple recipient delimiter support?
by Tanstaafl 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Trying to find out if dovecot supports the use of multiple recipient delimiters, as postfix does, but can't find an answer... The wiki only mentions it in two meaningful places (that I can find)... With respect to postfix: /wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix The above seems to imply that for postfix/LDA all I need to do is define it in postfix (which supports multiple recipient delimiters). And with Pigeonhole/Sieve: wiki.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration It seems to be saying that I must also define the same recipient_delimiters in dovecot config if using LMTP, and also if I want to use sieve for filtering of mail. But, the example and text says nothing about the use of multiple delimiters... So, is this supported? If so, the wiki should be updated to reflect this...

Re: Blowfish hashed passwords

(I subscribed to a daily digest for this list and can’t figure out how to reply to a reply.) Anyway, Aki Tuomi replied to my feature request saying: > We support in latest 2.2 release > > MD5 MD5-CRYPT SHA SHA1 SHA256 SHA512 SMD5 SSHA SSHA256 SSHA512 PLAIN > CLEAR CLEARTEXT PLAIN-TRUNC CRAM-MD5 SCRAM-SHA-1 HMAC-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 > PLAIN-MD4 PLAIN-MD5 LDAP-MD5 LANMAN NTLM OTP SKEY RPA CRYPT SHA256-CRYPT > SHA512-CRYPT > > There is also blowfish support as BLF-CRYPT, but that requires that your > system supports it. CRYPT supports whatever your crypt() supports. > The reason I suggest building in fallback hash type support is that my install of Dovecot on Ubuntu 14.04 didn’t support SHA512-CRYPT or BLF-CRYPT. If Dovecot just included the PHP .c files to make sure it can process Blowfish/SHA512 password hashes on all installs, it would greatly simplify adding Dovecot as a service for my existing user accounts (without forcing them to give their password for the site so I can generate new hashes in a form that Dovecot supports). SHA256-CRYPT is probably my best option for password hashing since it supports ROUNDS to make hash generation slower. But, I would rather use BLF-CRYPT so I can re-use my existing hashes for my user accounts. Kevin

[PATCH v2 0/7] Fixes for lib-mail message-address
by Pali Rohár 05 Jun '16

Hello, I borrowed dovecot parser for email addresses and I'm using it in my new perl module Email::Address::XS for parsing & formatting list of email addresses. That perl module is available at github [1]. During implementation and testing I found bugs in dovecot code. So I'm sending my patches (together with tests) which I'm using in my perl module. Lot of other (normal & corner) test cases are part of that perl module [2], so if you are interested feel free to reuse them. Because writing new test cases for dovecot is hard for me, I'm not going to do it. In perl for perl modules it is a lot of easier for me.

Shared Mailbox?
by craig 04 Jun '16

04 Jun '16

Hi, I've been doing a lot of reading on this topic, I'm just finding a lot of doco that's potentially out of date now? System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo) dovecot-2.2.10-5.el7.x86_64 The need: 1. I'd like to create a mailbox called "accounts", email would simply get delivered to the account via "accounts(a)example.com" (Maildir format) 2. Share this mailbox so it appears in three other accounts as an extra folder called "accounts" 3. If a user reads an email in the "accounts" folder, I'd like the other users to know this. Clients: * Latest Thunderbird * Outlook 2013. Any advice welcome ;) Cheers, Craig

nginx proxy to dovecot servers
by KT Walrus 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

I’m trying to understand how the nginx mail proxy and dovecot work. As a I understand it, nginx can listen on a IP:port for IMAP connections. NGINX then can invoke a PHP script to do authorization and backend server selection. Does NGINX than proxy to the backend dovecot IMAP server all subsequent IMAP commands that the user’s mail client requests? Does the backend dovecot IMAP server do its own authentication with another MySQL password lookup? Or, since NGINX has done the authentication, the password_query lookup is skipped on the dovecot server? I assume the dovecot IMAP server still needs to do a MySQL user_query lookup (to find the location of the user’s mailbox on the server), but I am wondering whether the password will be checked twice, once by NGINX and a second time by dovecot IMAP.

AD query timeout might be result size limit exceeded
by Julien Lambot 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

Hello list I've been struggling for a while trying to configure multiple domain ldap authentication with full e-mail address authentication. Which in fact was not the issue. There where some discrepancies between the doc and our actual configuration (see appendix A/ ) Seems that pass_filters and user_filters don't need much special settings for our setup. Now it's working correctly at the sole exception that when an OU contains "lots" of users (>200) i suspect that the ldapseach query fails. We can well authenticate when we have 50 users in an OU, but not when the number raises (I don't have the exact number above which it locks). Is there a parameter that we can set to increase the result size limit (as i suspect this to be the cause of this possible bug)? If I query manually it's ok (ldapsearch) if I use "doveadm auth user.name(a)domain.tld", it succeed also but I wonder if it doesn't use the winbind authentication instead. Here is our ldap-auth configuration hosts = master.domain.local:389 dn = DOMAIN\ro-user dnpass = password debug_level = 2 auth_bind = yes #auth_bind_userdn = cn=%u,OU=_myou,OU=Utilisateurs,OU=ouname,DC=domain,DC=local (tried with and without with no better results) ldap_version = 3 #deref = never #base = OU=InfrastructureManagement,DC=domain,DC=local (works has a few users) base = OU=_myou,OU=Utilisateurs,OU=ouname,DC=domain,DC=local scope = subtree user_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(mail=%u)) pass_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(mail=%u)) and some logs in appendix B/ Thanks for any hints on this.

Blowfish hashed passwords
by KT Walrus 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

The PHP app I’m using on my website uses PHP to generate password hashes to be stored into the user database. These password hashes use Blowfish encryption ("$2y$”). In fact, since PHP 5.3.0, PHP contains its own implementation of the hash types it supports including: - CRYPT_STD_DES - CRYPT_EXT_DES - CRYPT_MD5 - CRYPT_BLOWFISH - CRYPT_SHA256 - CRYPT_SHA512 The C code for these hash types is in https://github.com/php/php-src/tree/master/ext/standard <https://github.com/php/php-src/tree/master/ext/standard> I’m working on adding Dovecot to my site, but Dovecot doesn’t seem to support Blowfish password hashes (at least on Ubuntu 14.04). Would you consider adding built-in “fallback” support for Blowfish and SHA512 (which doesn’t seem to be supported either on Ubuntu 14.04 last time I checked) to an upcoming Dovecot release? You could probably take the source code from the GitHub PHP repo to incorporate support for these hash types in Dovecot. That way, Dovecot could easily use the same hash types that PHP supports regardless of what hash types are installed in the OS running Dovecot. And, I wouldn’t have to deal with a second set of hashes for Dovecot passdb for my existing user accounts. See PHP manual for crypt function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php Kevin

special-use for virtual folder
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Hi, I'm running two different Dovecot servers (actually more but those are pretty similar and same versions 2.2.24). Today I configured a virtual All folder on both: namespace { location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual prefix = virtual. separator = . } mailbox virtual.All { special_use = \All } On this system the special-use flag is not applied to the folder (checked via LIST "" "*"). On the other system: namespace { location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual prefix = virtual/ separator = / } mailbox virtual/All { special_use = \All } On the second system I can see * LIST (\HasNoChildren \All) "/" virtual/All Besides the separator I don't see a big difference between both configurations. Any idea? Thanks, Wolfgang

forwarding emails using sieve
by Thorsten von Eicken 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

I know this is a tad tangential to dovecot, but maybe someone has some pointers for me. I'm trying to forward emails using the sieve filtering and redirect doesn't do it because it doesn't wrap the message in a new email, instead, it seems to just change the envelope From (and To). This causes the outbound relay to reject the message for security/spam reasons (forged From). It looks like the dovecot sieve implementation doesn't let me change the From header in the sieve script. Is there a way to accomplish what I'm looking for? Thanks!

Hi, I have setup spam filter and opendkim key on our mail server with Postfix,Dovecot and OpenDKIM server. Following are few lines from dovecot.conf which were added to dovecot.conf. After troubleshooting, we removed the following lines and the login from webUI roundcube started working. Can someone please explain the importance of following lines in accordance with Opendkim?

IMAP Timeouts
by Vince42 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hi, from time to time the IMAP login times out ... my external monitoring says "connection reset by peer (SSL)" and Thunderbird tries to connect forever. After a short while everything returns back to normal operation. The system resources are plenty, there are no error messages and no greedy background tasks running. I read a little about tweaking imap-login - but all the default parameters seem to be set more generously than what was recommended. Where should I start the debugging process? I really wish there was some "dovecot optimizer tool" ... :P -- Cheers, \\|// Vince (o o) ----------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------- ''' (o)_(o) [ ][0][ ] ô¿ô (=°o°=) World Domination by Copy and Paste [ ][ ][0] - (")_(") [0][0][0] () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments Ooo. ---------------------------.ooO----( )------------------------- ( ) (_/ \_)

pread() failures when using mdbox on btrfs
by Marc Joliet 28 May '16

28 May '16

(Note: I am not subscribed to this ML, so please be sure to CC me in replies.) Hello, I see a strange bug when running dovecot under btrfs with a mailbox in mdbox format. At some point, which can take a few minutes or more than a day, dovecot starts logging pread() failures, like so: Apr 02 23:43:42 thetick dovecot[570]: imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/LinuxAudio/User/dbox- Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error These would trigger when getmail runs (which in turn is configured to use dovecot-lda). It's only ever the *.index.log files, and it would usually happen to the same one many times in a row. To demonstrate, this is the full list of unique pread() failures on one host (my desktop PC): # journalctl -u dovecot -p 3 -o cat | sort -u | grep pread imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/BTRFS/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Gentoo/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/LinuxAudio/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Newsletters/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/SCons/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log: Input/output error and on the current host (a home server): # journalctl -u dovecot -p 3 -o cat | sort -u | grep pread imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Privat/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log: Input/output error Rebooting the system would make it go away (without loss of mails), though remounting the file system should have worked, too. I tried a variety of options, but the only one that helped was to convert the mailbox from mdbox to maildir. I have not seen any pread() failures in the two weeks since. I originally wrote to the btrfs ML, see the thread at [0], in particular my messages [1] and [2], for additional details, including references to what little I could find on the web. However, nothing much came of that thread, so I am now posting here.

first_valid_uid
by Vince42 28 May '16

28 May '16

Hi, I have error log entries like dovecot: lmtp(22155, mail): Error: user mail: Mail access for users with UID 8 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup). This obviously tells me that the user mail (UID 8) is trying to access the LMTP daemon. How can I find out why he is doing so and how I can get rid of this error message? The mail system (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : Postfix + Dovecot) is working - but probably not properly configured. -- Cheers, \\|// Vince (o o) ----------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------- ''' (o)_(o) [ ][0][ ] ô¿ô (=°o°=) World Domination by Copy and Paste [ ][ ][0] - (")_(") [0][0][0] () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments Ooo. ---------------------------.ooO----( )------------------------- ( ) (_/ \_)

Unable to view shared mailbox
by dev 25 May '16

25 May '16

Hi All, I have a mailing list I'd like to archive and share with a handful of users. The users are all in OpenLDAP. 10-auth-system.conf.ext is setup with "driver=pam" so it appears anyone in LDAP who already is able to SSH into the server may also connect to dovecot with same username/password they use in LDAP. I have a shared mailbox directory called LISTS_Archive. The system directory is /home/shared_imap. I can connect to dovecot using LDAP credentials (using Thunderbird) and this shared folder (LISTS_Archive) is grayed out. I assume I have acls wrong? What I want is for users in LDAP to access the LISTS_Archive imap folder as a shared folder for everyone. Only R/O access however (which is 'lr' in acl file I think). Would someone please point out what I've missed? Thank you. # # egrep -v '(^$|\#)' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf # mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir namespace inbox { type = private separator = / inbox = yes } mail_plugins = acl plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls } namespace { hidden = no inbox = no location = maildir:/home/shared_imap/:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = LISTS_Archive/ separator = / type = public list = yes subscriptions = no } # # egrep -v '(^$|\#)' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf # protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_acl } # # dir /home/shared_imap/ # total 8 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 May 25 10:26 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 user384 mail-user 0 May 25 10:43 dovecot-acl-list drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail-user 4096 May 25 10:43 . # # cat /etc/dovecot/acls # * user=user384 lr

ot: selfcert IMAP StartTLS 143 Win10 Tbird woes
by voytek＠sbt.net.au 25 May '16

25 May '16

I was trying to set up a replacement laptop running W10/64 to replace a Win7 laptop, installed TBird, and, attempted normal setup: IMAP StartTLS 143, SMTP StartTLS 587 (like on old laptop), and, to cut a long story, eventually discovered it won't work till I changed IMAP SSL/TLS 993 ? SMTP seems OK, only IMAP didn't (I recall earlier similar type of issues with either Outlook or OE or WLive?) is this the self certified part ? or what is it ? what's the best way around ? or just leave it as 993 ? thanks for any hints , pointers or even words of encouragement

Error: Filename keeps changing
by Ward Romp 24 May '16

24 May '16

Dear all, Two days ago, my ldap server (for authentication) crashed and I had to set up a new one. Everything works fine except the mailbox for one user (let's name him debugger). When I try to access his mail whatever way, dovecot complains about "Error: maildir_file_do(........): Filename keeps changing" For example, a command "doveadm copy -u debugger(a)boontje.net Archive mailbox Netspar" returns doveadm(debugger(a)boontje.net): Error: maildir_file_do(/var/mail/vmail/boontje.net/debugger/mail/Netspar/cur/14230…: Filename keeps changing doveadm(debugger(a)boontje.net): Error: Copying message UID 1 from 'Netspar' failed: Internal error occurred.

Growing number of dovecot processes
by John Oliver 24 May '16

24 May '16

OS is CentOS 6, dovecot-2.0.9-19 Just started using this server as a replacement for an old Debian server running an old dovecot. The number of dovecot processes just grows and grows until there are 100 concurrent login processes (we have maybe 40 or 50 users), and then nobody can log in any more. A reload resets, but the number of stuck processes climbs very quickly. We're authenticating against an OpenLDAP. Unfortunately, this system is not connected to the Internet so I cannot paste logs or output of commands. I've been Googling, but aren't hitting on the right phrase to describe this issue to uncover possible answers :-( If anyone can get me pointed in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * ***********************************************************************

No implicit INBOX with mailbox_list_index = yes?
by Karsten Heiken 23 May '16

23 May '16

Hello all, I am running a Dovecot Cluster (2.2.13 and 2.2.23 show the same behaviour) using dsync replication (as described here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Replication) In addition to that I allow users to share mailboxes using IMAP ACLs. My problem is that I need to set "mail_shared_explicit_inbox = yes" if I want my users to see Inboxes of other users. If I leave mail_shared_explicit_inbox = no, then the user cannot see any Inboxes of other users: > * LIST (\Subscribed \UnMarked) "/" Sent > * LIST (\Subscribed \UnMarked) "/" Drafts > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX When I set explicit_inbox = yes, then I can see the shared mailboxes: > * LIST (\Subscribed \UnMarked) "/" Sent > * LIST (\Subscribed \UnMarked) "/" Drafts > * LIST (\NonExistent) "/" shared > * LIST (\NonExistent) "/" shared/bob(a)luis.uni-hannover.de > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" shared/bob(a)luis.uni-hannover.de/INBOX > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX After some digging I found out that if I set mailbox_list_index = NO, then everything works even without explicit_inbox: > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Sent > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Drafts > * LIST (\NonExistent) "/" shared > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" shared/bob(a)luis.uni-hannover.de > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX Since we are migrating from Cyrus to Dovecot, our users are used to the behaviour of explicit_inbox = no, so I would like to keep it that way. I would simply leave mailbox_list_index disabled, but the comment states it is required for NOTIFY, which in turn is required by the rolling replication -- am I corrent? > # Mailbox list indexes can be used to optimize IMAP STATUS commands. They are > # also required for IMAP NOTIFY extension to be enabled. > # mailbox_list_index = yes What am I doing wrong or don't understand?

dovecot-sieve: require "mailbox" fails (Unbuntu 16.04)
by Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hello everyone, I'm moving some old procmail recipes to sieve, but having problems with it. The problem lies with the mailbox extension, which I'm trying to use as proposed in an example in the Dovecot wiki: > require ["variables","date","fileinto","mailbox"]; > > # Extract date info > if currentdate :matches "year" "*" { set "year" "${1}"; } > if currentdate :matches "month" "*" { set "month" "${1}"; } > > # Archive Dovecot mailing list items by year and month. > # Create folder when it does not exist. > if header :is "list-id" "dovecot.dovecot.org" { > fileinto :create "INBOX.Lists.${year}.${month}.dovecot"; > } I'm trying a similar rule (different condition, different mail folder), but cannot seen to get it to work. I always get the errors: > .DOVECOT: LINE 16: ERROR: UNEXPECTED '}' FOUND AT (THE PRESUMED) END OF FILE. > .DOVECOT: ERROR: PARSE FAILED. I'm using the standard dovecot packages from Ubuntu 16.04: > II DOVECOT-CORE 1:2.2.22-1UBUNTU2 AMD64 SECURE POP3/IMAP SERVER - CORE FILES > II DOVECOT-IMAPD 1:2.2.22-1UBUNTU2 AMD64 SECURE POP3/IMAP SERVER - IMAP DAEMON > II DOVECOT-MANAGESIEVED 1:2.2.22-1UBUNTU2 AMD64 SECURE POP3/IMAP SERVER - MANAGE SIEVE SERVER > II DOVECOT-SIEVE 1:2.2.22-1UBUNTU2 AMD64 SECURE POP3/IMAP SERVER - SIEVE FILTERS SUPPORT I was under the impression that these sieve extensions, including "mailbox", are builtin into dovecot/pigeonhole, or at least packaged into dovecot-sieve. Is that not the case? How can I get the example working under Ubuntu linux 16.04? Do I need to add or reconfigure something by hand? Thanks in advance for any help on the subject. Greetings Kasi Mir

I think this is intentional. The F(inish) tells the final response whether everything was OK or not, so all the work is done after that. The 'X' is described in code as: > > /* notify remote that we're closing. this is mainly to avoid > "read() failed: EOF" errors on failing dsyncs */ > o_stream_nsend_str(ibc->output, > t_strdup_printf("%c\n", items[ITEM_DONE].chr)); > > and on the receiving side: > > if (line[0] == items[ITEM_DONE].chr) { > /* remote cleanly closed the connection, possibly because of > some failure (which it should have logged). we don't want to > log any stream errors anyway after this. */ > dsync_ibc_stream_stop(ibc); > return DSYNC_IBC_RECV_RET_TRYAGAIN; > } > > So I think it only matters in error handling.

BUG?: Dsync over piped process (DSYNC_RUN_TYPE_CMD): EPIPE if X (done) is received in another write after F (finish)
by J. Nick Koston 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hi, It appears that dsync closes the file handle once it gets the F (finish) response even if it hasn’t received the X (done) response.

I'm trying to lock down a maildir from modifications using dovecot-uidlist.lock, but when a user with mailbox.auto = create logs in, then the folder is created regardless of dovecot-uidlist.lock existing or not. Is there no way to prevent dovecot from touching anything in a maildir folder? -- Tom

synchronous replication based on priority
by Sylvain Allemand 18 May '16

18 May '16

Hi, i see in this page (http://blog.dovecot.org/2012/02/dovecot-clustering-with-dsync-based.html) : "Optionally the replication plugin can also support synchronous replication of new mail deliveries. In this way it connects to replication-notify UNIX socket, tells it to replicate the user with sync (=highest) priority and waits until it is done or replication_sync_timeout occurs. The IMAP/LMTP client won't see an "OK" reply until the mail is replicated (or the replication has failed). The synchronous replication probably adds a noticeable delay, so it might not be acceptable for IMAP, but might be for LMTP." is this fonctionnality effective for LMTP ? If so, where is the config ? The wiki says that replication is asynchronous.

Reloading dovecot and postfix after updates
by ＠lbutlr 17 May '16

17 May '16

Recently someone used webmin to update dovecot, which went fine. However, after the update no one could login to the mail server because of the mismatch in the versions between what was installed and what postfix was expecting. Other that bapping the person on the head and saying “don’t do that” is there anyway to force a reload of postfix after dovecot reloads? Like adding a postfix reload to the dovecot rc.d script or someway of linking them so that if either version changes they both get reloaded? (I don’t even use webmin myself, so maybe it’s even possible through it?) I mean, it’s unlikely to happen again at this point, but still… -- "...and Digby considered how much he liked salt..."

Dovecot configuration: Home dir not found
by Divakar BM 17 May '16

17 May '16

Hi, I've my mail solution configured on Server-A with webmail, Dovecot and Postfix. I'm trying to deploy only Dovecot and postfix on Server-B to reduce IMAP/POP3/SMTP load on server-A. Please note server-B does not mailboxes. It should be mapped to mailboxes on server-A. While the LDAP query from Server-B to Server-A is going successfully, the imap service on Server-B is throwing the below error. imap(user(a)example.com): Debug: Home dir not found: /mail/vmail/**/ I guess imap is looking for *home dir* in server-B. How do I tel the imap that home dir is on server-A and not server-B. Please let me know if there exists a configuration parameter for the above.. Thanks Divakar

Sieve extension for testing for mailbox

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! Which Pigeonhole Sieve extension should I use to process/test a message depending on whether the message is in a particular mailbox? (Is it the mboxmetadata extension by any chance? If so, I would appreciate if someone could tell me what the reason is for it not being enabled by default.) The reason I want to perform this test is that I have configured my MTA to deliver "outgoing" e-mails to my "Sent" IMAP folder, and these messages arrive unread.

SSL on doveadm port
by Patrick Domack 15 May '16

15 May '16

I have been attempting to setup ssl on the doveadm port. So far this works fine, as long as the global certificate is used. I wanted to use a different certificate, one that machines the machine name, instead of the generic mail certificate, but I have not been able to figure out how to do this. Attempts to add the certificate in the services section with the ssl = yes option, cause syntax error, and dovecot doesn't start. Creating a protocol doveadm section with it, is ignored, and setting up a local section with it in it, is ignored also.

Dovecot 2.1.7 randomly lost emails
by Paolo Rinaldo 13 May '16

13 May '16

Hi Dovecot 2.1.7 Postfix 2.9.6 Maildir backend, emails filtered by a Postfix frontend (Sqlgrey, Amavis). Lmtp delivering emails using a simple sieve script. Ubuntu 12.04 VMware virtual server. When email are CCed to other recipients on the same domain (the same backend), sometimes they are lost. We hosts approx. 1500 mailboxes, the problem occurs one or two times a day. Recently I changed the frontend, the previous one was delivering one email for each recipient, we had a couple of error per year, we thought it was due to client-side error. The frequency increased with the new frontend, no more “splitting” messages for more than one recipient. The following sample is from a client using a POP3 connection, leaving emails on server. the Postfix mail.log May 11 01:26:55 lmail01 postfix/qmgr[7054]: 96E9CA6628: from=<sender(a)external.com>, size=11822371, nrcpt=2 (queue active) May 11 01:26:55 lmail01 postfix/lmtp[3106]: 96E9CA6628: to=<user-one(a)domain.com>, relay=mail4.robinson.it[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.64, delays=0.45/0/0/0.19, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 <user-one(a)domain.com> 0vNzHyptMlezHgAAk+lh+g Saved) May 11 01:26:55 lmail01 postfix/lmtp[3106]: 96E9CA6628: to=user-two(a)domain.com>, relay=mail4.robinson.it[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.74, delays=0.45/0/0/0.29, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 user-two(a)domain.com> 0vNzHyptMlezHgAAk+lh+g Saved) May 11 01:26:55 lmail01 postfix/qmgr[7054]: 96E9CA6628: removed the dovecot-info.log May 11 01:26:55 lmtp(7859, user-one(a)domain.com) Info: 0vNzHyptMlezHgAAk+lh+g: sieve: msgid=<003A2D931FFF0E48A2314A1ADC87E23E8E4BA1DE(a)t49-ms-exmb02.INTRANET.SAKSROOT.SAKSINC.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' May 11 01:26:55 lmtp(7859, user-two(a)domain.com) Info: 0vNzHyptMlezHgAAk+lh+g: sieve: msgid=<003A2D931FFF0E48A2314A1ADC87E23E8E4BA1DE(a)t49-ms-exmb02.INTRANET.SAKSROOT.SAKSINC.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' I cannot find the email 0vNzHyptMlezHgAAk+lh+g for user-two(a)domain.com<mailto:user-two@domain.com>, nor I cannot suppose problems on the client, nothing changed on the back-end.

How do I share folders ?
by chaouche yacine 12 May '16

Hello dovecot, First poster here. What I want : give a.chaouche(a)algerian-radio.dz list and read permissions on a.chaouche(a)backup.algerian-radio.dz. Let's just discuss sharing the inbox then I can do the same for subfolders, in any. a.chaouche(a)algerian-radio.dz and a.chaouche(a)backup.algerian-radio.dz are two different users. Details about the domains aren't relevant here I guess. My dovecot configuration, what I believe to be the important parts :userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n/ driver = static } namespace partage { location = maildir:%%h:INDEX=~/%%u prefix = shared.%%u. separator = . type = shared } mail_location = Maildir:~/ Both users can access their respective inboxes just fine, I only need to give a.chaouche(a)algerian-radio.dz access to a.chaouche(a)backup.algerian-radio.dz Full output of doveconf -n : # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 8.3 auth_mechanisms = plain login debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.debug disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 100 log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_debug = yes mail_location = Maildir:~/ mail_plugins = " quota acl" managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave 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 = INBOX. separator = . type = private } namespace partage { hidden = no location = maildir:%%h:INDEX=~/%%u prefix = shared.%%u. separator = . type = shared } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { acl = vfile quota = maildir:User quota quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } postmaster_address = root(a)algerian-radio.dz protocols = " imap lmtp sieve" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } ssl = no userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n/ driver = static } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " quota acl sieve quota" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " quota acl sieve" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " quota acl imap_quota imap_acl" } I don't know if it's possible to share folders with the doveadm acl command ? root(a)messagerie[10.10.10.20] ~ # doveadm acl debug -u a.chaouche(a)algerian-radio.dz shared/a.chaouche(a)backup.algerian-radio.dz doveadm(a.chaouche(a)algerian-radio.dz): Error: Can't open mailbox shared/a.chaouche(a)backup.algerian-radio.dz: Mailbox doesn't exist: shared/a.chaouche(a)backup.algerian-radio.dz root(a)messagerie[10.10.10.20] ~ #

Dovecot + libsodium
by Andreas Meyer 12 May '16

12 May '16

Hi, Thank you very much for creating and maintaining dovecot! In my scenario, I want to use the password hash algorithms provided by libsodium: https://download.libsodium.org/doc/ So my difficulty is to have dovecot support libsodium's hash algorithms, particularly: crypto_pwhash_scryptsalsa208sha256_str On the sodium maillinglist I asked for help and received an adjusted dovecot code, which exactly does what I need. You find it here: https://github.com/jedisct1/core/tree/scrypt-argon2 Obviously I need to apply these changes everytime I upgrade to a new dovecot version now. So my question ist, what do I need to do so that you will include libsodium support in future versions of dovecot? Thank you very much for your attention, Andreas

Automatic packages for Dovecot v2.3
by Stephan Bosch 11 May '16

11 May '16

Hi, The Xi repository for v2.3 is now public. The information is updated here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries#Automatically_Built_Packages Xi now modifies the version string in the Dovecot sources. This way `dovecot -n` output includes the Xi package version. This is currently only true for the v2.3 packages though. I am still testing a new v2.2 builder that follows both the master and latest release branch. Packages from the release branch are published in a separate repository, so that a more stable package stream is obtained; it is only updated when the developers start working on making a release. The intermittent beta or rc release tags on that release branch are recognized and reflected in the package versions. If a new release branch is detected, the the development packages for the master branch get an alpha version with a lower version digit that is one higher than the upcoming release. For example, when a release-2.2.25 branch is created, packages from the master branch will get version 2.2.26~alpha0-1 in anticipation of the next release in this series. Packages from the release branch will have version 2.2.25~beta0-1 until the first release tag is seen. Regards, Stephan.

ACLs over imapc

hello i've struggled various times trying to setup shared mailboxes to no avail. the same setup with local file access works imapc seems to work with generic shared mailboxes nevertheless, i never managed to get a working setup with both user-defined acls and imapc has anyone been successful in doing so ? is this supposed to work ? i've been experimenting with dovecot 2.2.9 and 2.2.22 and never saw any imap acl commands issued by the builtin imap client. thanks abi(a)oleane.net

Mailbox doesn't exist response

Hello, Using the latest dovecot version, selecting a non-existing mailbox with non printable characters encoded in utf7, the mailbox doesn't exist response contains the folder name encoded in utf8. Is that legal regarding the rfc ? If yes, how the client can be aware of the used encoding ? Thanks.

Workaround for rcpt suffix
by Robban 10 May '16

10 May '16

Hi all! I'm stuck again, let me start with explaining my setup. The PassDB and UserDB is LDAP (FreeIPA) and I'm using ldap mail attribute to search after the recipient so one user can have multiple mail aliases. So far so good. Next is to have an catchall(a)domain.tld, that is done via an static userdb backend (I know you are strongly against catchall adresses), and they are delivered to public folders (${mail_location}/domain.tld). I also use address extension so sort a mail to correct folder (+ sign). Now I need to fix so mail to <mail attr>-sievetest is handled by the user assigned to <mail attr>, is this somehow possible? //Robban

Is there a way to override Sieve's "not sending notification for auto-submitted message" behavior?
by deoren 07 May '16

07 May '16

Goal: 1) Setup a Google Calendar entry for a biweekly task 2) Configure the email notification schedule 3) When the email notification from Google arrives have Sieve send a notification to an alias I have setup for my cell provider's email to text messaging gateway 4) Receive text message I know there are other products which likely handle this better, but I'm specifically attempting to replicate old behavior by getting text message reminders when a specific Google Calendar event occurs. The problem I'm having is that Sieve is attempting to help by NOT sending a notification for emails that it finds are automatically generated. I didn't found a lot of information when I searched for additional details, but I didn't find an earlier message thread on this list that led me to believe that the default behavior is likely chosen as some sort of safety net to prevent common issues from occurring. What I would like to do is override this behavior at some level (per rule, per user, system-wide, whatever) to allow for Sieve notifications when emails matching a specific pattern are detected regardless of whether they are auto-generated or not. I already found mention in the documentation[1] that the editheader extension refuses to remove the Auto-Submitted header, so setting up a per user or global rule to do just that wouldn't help. I also haven't come upon a way to simply modify the value for the Auto-Submitted header, so that doesn't look to work in this situation either. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for your help! [1] http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Extensions/Editheader

I configured Dovecot on our mail server under Centos 5.3 (I think) some while ago now (about 2 years) and, to the best of my knowledge,it had been working correctly all that time. However, one of the team wanted to use webmail while away from base and found that, although he could receive emails OK, he was unable to reply or send fresh emails. When he pressed Send he got a message “Authentication failed" in a pop-up box. He assured me that sending mail had been working and I was certain that I had tested that aspect when I was setting Dovecot up, at least for local mail. I tried to send email from my Dovecot account and had the same problem. Our MTA is sendmail and that is not configured to authenticate on outgoing mail, The configuration for sendmail hasn’t changed at least since the last update in 16 March 2015 (sendmail 8.13.8-10.el5_11). Dovecot uses php-5.5.5 in this set up. The relevant entry in /var/log/maillog when I attempt to send an email from Dovecot is: May 5 16:34:29 firewall dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=13001) May 5 16:34:29 firewall dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=143 rport=51861 resp=AGNocmlzADB1dFkwdUcwNDkh May 5 16:34:29 firewall dovecot: auth: Debug: pam(chris,127.0.0.1): lookup service=dovecot May 5 16:34:29 firewall dovecot: auth: Debug: pam(chris,127.0.0.1): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: May 5 16:34:29 firewall dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: OK 1 user=chris May 5 16:34:29 firewall dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 2607546369 13001 1 0bcf2e3a108cd9cd18eaff4b7de9c428 May 5 16:34:29 firewall dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd(chris,127.0.0.1): lookup May 5 16:34:29 firewall dovecot: auth: Debug: master out: USER 2607546369 chris system_groups_user=chris uid=514 gid=100 home=/home/chris May 5 16:34:29 firewall dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<chris>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=13002, secured May 5 16:34:29 firewall dovecot: imap(chris): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=11/334 May 5 16:34:29 firewall sendmail[13003]: u45FYTtd013003: localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA The webmail server and our mail server are the same system. The firewall is open for port 143. It is only send from Dovecot that fails authentication, all other outgoing mail is sent correctly. Does anyone have any idea where else I can look for clues as to why there is this behaviour? Suplementary question: what does the “Sign me” check box on the webmail log in page do? Many thanks.

Long delays when deleting a message in inbox
by Yves Goergen 05 May '16

05 May '16

Hi, Since recently, there's a long delay when deleting any message from my inbox folder. This affects deleting and moving messages, but only the inbox of a single mailbox. The delay is a few seconds. Other operations work instantly. The server is Ubuntu 14.04 running Dovecot version "1:2.2.9-1ubuntu2". The filesystem is local ext4. My MUA is Thunderbird on Windows, latest version, connecting with IMAP. What could be the cause for this extreme delay? Yves Goergen http://unclassified.software

Re: Cannot connect to Dovecot IMAP or POP

> 2. openssl s_client -connect mail.privustech.com:xxx > a. xxx=25, 110, 143 all return > error:140770FC You need to add the "-starttls protocol" parameter, otherwise "openssl s_client" thinks your using SSL, not STARTTLS i.e. openssl s_client -starttls pop3 -connect mail.privustech.com:110 openssl s_client -starttls imap -connect mail.privustech.com:143 But even if you do that, you get the same error because it can't start the TLS session: $ nc mail.privustech.com 143 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 I18NLEVEL=1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED AUTH=CRAM-MD5] privustech.com IMAP4rev1 2007e.404 at Wed, 4 May 2016 22:26:36 -0400 (EDT) x STARTTLS x NO Server certificate not installed So there you go, dovecot can't get at your server certificate. You can start the search of your problem from there. The configuration verbose_ssl = yes will help to log the problem. > ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048 Probably not related to your problem, but this will cause wildly variable dovecot initialization times, as temp key generation of this length can result in a lot of candidate primailty testing.

Changing Password Schemes
by Carl A Jeptha 03 May '16

03 May '16

Good Day, I have been following this tutorial without much luck - http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ConvertPasswordSchemes#CA-26af2b83a43b810052… It is obvious to me that I am not following the instructions correctly and need to be shown what I am misunderstanding. I have an old postfix + dovecot + Roundcube mailserver (mail.domain.Tld). Server clock is loosing time and adjusting it causes dovecot to kill itself, we cannot install more memory, bigger hard-drives, etc. I have built a new server box (mail2.domain.Tld) With Postfix + dovecot + Roundcube. This server is functioning, with a client's new domain, and my personal domain. it's password system is SHA512-CRYPT. I have imported the users from the old server over to the new server. I have created a new column "plain_pass" for the plain passwords. I will be using imapsync to transfer the mail folders from the one server to the other, but will not proceed until I fix this issue. # 2.2.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.8 (0c4ae064f307+) # OS: Linux 4.2.0-35-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 15.10 ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login first_valid_gid = 8 first_valid_uid = 150 last_valid_gid = 8 last_valid_uid = 150 listen = * mail_gid = mail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_uid = vmail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { quota_grace = 10%% quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)airnet.ca protocols = imap pop3 lmtp lmtp pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mail mode = 0666 user = vmail } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login /usr/local/etc/popafter.sh user = $default_internal_user } service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service pop3-postlogin { executable = script-login /usr/local/etc/popafter.sh user = $default_internal_user } service pop3 { executable = pop3 pop3-postlogin } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem ssl_cipher_list = ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES:CAMELLIA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!aECDH:!EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:!EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:!KRB5-DES-CBC3-SHA ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048 ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } -- ------------ You have a good day now, en mag jou môre ook so wees, Carl A Jeptha

Director ignores nologin, reason etc.
by Tom Sommer 03 May '16

03 May '16

I want my director to do all authentication, but it ignores the nologin and reason etc. fields returned by my director password_query I have my director password_query returning proxy=y, password=X, master=XXXX, pass=XXXX It works fine, but even if nologin is Y and 'reason' is set, the user still gets proxied to the backend and gets to login? -- Tom

I am not sure if this is possible. When I use "vacation" in a sieve script, it always sends the response using "<>". I need it to send the response using a specific address. Is this possible? Thanks :) -- Jerry

autoexpunge wildcard mailbox from userdb
by Leon Kyneur 02 May '16

02 May '16

Was excited to see that wildcards are now possible on autoexpunge in the 2.2.24 release. However I'm trying to configure these from the userdb lookup and it doesn't appear to be working. if I set in 15-mailboxes.conf mailbox Trash/* { ... autoexpunge = 10m } everything works.. however if I return =namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/*/autoexpunge=10m via userdb - it does not. Logs say: Debug: Unknown userdb setting: plugin/namespace/inbox/mailbox/Trash/*/autoexpunge=10m Is what I am trying to do even possible? Thanks Leon

deb repo with dovecot-antispam ?
by Håkon Alstadheim 02 May '16

02 May '16

There are .debs available for version 2.2 both from backports and ix.dovecot.fi, but neither seem to have the antispam plugin built for version 2.2. Anybody know why, and (if there is no particular reason) how to get dovecot-antispam in a proper .deb package for dovecot-2.2.* ?

issues with doveadm sieve commands
by Michael Grimm 30 Apr '16

30 Apr '16

Hi This is dovecot-pigeonhole 0.4.13 and dovecot 2.2.23 at FBSD 10.3-STABLE. I am used to run doveadm sieve commands for some time now whenever updating a sieve script. Recently those commands fail with a user set explicitly, e.g.: mail> doveadm sieve list -u test doveadm(root): Error: User doesn't exist When asking for all users, I do not run into any error: mail> doveadm sieve list -u '*' user1 default ACTIVE [snip] test default ACTIVE mail> doveadm sieve list -A user1 default ACTIVE [snip] test default ACTIVE That is true for all doveadm sieve commands, but other will work, like: mail> doveadm user -u test userdb: test user : test mail : mdbox:/—path-to-maildir--/test Hmm, any idea what is going on? I do not know when those commands stopped to work, I didn't try to update my sieve scripts for some time now. Thanks and regards, Michael
