Detect IMAP server domain name in Dovecot IMAP proxy
by KT Walrus 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

I’m in the process of setting up a Dovecot IMAP proxy to handle a number of IMAP server domains. At the current time, I have my users divided into 70 different groups of users (call them G1 to G70). I want each group to configure their email client to access their mailboxes at a domain name based on the group they belong to (e.g., g1.example.com <http://g1.example.com/>, g2.example.com <http://g2.example.com/>, …, g70.example.com <http://g70.example.com/>). I will only support TLS encrypted IMAP connections to the Dovecot IMAP proxy (‘ssl=yes’ in the inet_listener). My SSL cert has alternate names for all 70 group domain names. I want the group domain to only support users that have been assigned to the group the domain name represents. That is, a user assigned to G23 would only be allowed to configure their email client for the IMAP server named g23.example.com <http://g23.example.com/>. My solution during testing has been to have the Dovecot IMAP proxy to listen on different ports: 9930-9999. I plan to purchase 70 IPs, one for each group, and redirect traffic on port 993 to the appropriate Dovecot IMAP proxy port based on the IP I assign to the group domain name in the site’s DNS. The SQL for handling the IMAP login uses the port number of the inet_listener I think this could work in production, but it will cost me extra to rent the 70 IPs and might be a pain to manage. Eventually, I would like to have over 5,000 groups so requiring an IP per group is less than ideal. I also think having Dovecot IMAP proxy have 5,000 inet_listeners might not work so well or might create too many threads/processes/ports to fit on a small proxy server. I would rather have 1 public IP for each Dovecot IMAP proxy and somehow communicate to the userdb which group domain name was configured in the email client so only the users assigned to this group can login with that username. Anyone have any ideas? For HTTP traffic, it is easy to query the host in the HTTP Request, but I don’t think IMAP traffic has such host info in it. Does the Dovecot IMAP proxy receive the hostname from the email client when exchanging SSL certs (like SNI for HTTPS)? Or, maybe I should have group domain in the username used to log in with (e.g., username+g23(a)example.com <mailto:username+g23@example.com> or username(a)g23.example.com <mailto:username@g23.example.com>). I don’t like to make the user configure their email client to log in with a name that is different than their mailbox address. It is simpler to just have them configure their email client with username(a)example.com <mailto:username@example.com> for both authorization and for the from/sender headers in the messages. Anyway, any ideas of how to set this up in production?

Outlook 2010 woes
by Bryan Holloway 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Hello, everyone. We have recently begun migrating folks from an older server to a newer one, and things have been going quite well except for -- you guessed it -- Outlook 2010 users. Specifically it appears to be one customer in particular, and this particular customer has many nested mailboxes and lots of e-mail in general. Not sure if this is a factor. Old server: * Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS * Dovecot 2.1.13 * Maildir++ * Local auth via passwd/shadow files New server: * Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 * Dovecot 2.2.13 * Maildir++ * Quotas enabled * LDAP Basically what's happening is that users are seeing large delays when navigating between different IMAP folders. So, for example, user "X" is sitting idle in their INBOX. If they then click on another folder there's a good 6-7 second delay before you can view its contents. If you immediately then navigate to other folders, you get a rapid response. But if the client then goes idle again for 10+ seconds, you will get this delay again. Some are reporting the OS saying "Outlook is not responding." (Everyone is running Windows 7.) Disclaimer: Yes, I know Outlook 2010 is a giant steaming pile of ____. However, everything worked dandy with Dovecot 2.1 and of course my customer is harping on this fact. Things I have tried/read about in the Dovecot list: * Check headers only -- doesn't seem to help. * Had a user completely remove their IMAP profile and re-add: no change. * Had a user set up an entirely new account on a new computer: same symptoms. * Someone mentioned to enable the "delay-newmail" workaround in 20-imap.conf, but this wasn't enabled in our 2.1 install, so that seems like it would not help our case. I was looking through the release notes of later Dovecots, and I noticed that in 2.2.14 there's mention of some issues with Outlook that were fixed, but it wasn't particularly specific about which versions. Should I be looking into that? And if so, is there a separate repository for newer dovecot? Currently the standard Debian 8.6 only has 2.2.13. Any help, suggestions, or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! - bryan

Problems with GSSAPI and LDAP
by Juha Koho 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Hello, I have a Dovecot 2.2.25 set up with OpenLDAP back end. I was trying to set up a GSSAPI Kerberos authentication with the LDAP server but with little success. Seems no matter what I try I end up with the following error message: dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP: binding failed (dn (imap/host.example.com(a)EXAMPLE.COM)) Local error, SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (No Kerberos credentials available (default cache: FILE:/tmp/dovecot.krb5.ccache)) I have set the import_environment in dovecot.conf: import_environment = TZ CORE_OUTOFMEM CORE_ERROR LISTEN_PID LISTEN_FDS KRB5CCNAME=FILE:/tmp/dovecot.krb5.ccache And these in LDAP configuration: dn = imap/host.example.com(a)EXAMPLE.COM sasl_bind = yes sasl_mech = gssapi sasl_realm = EXAMPLE.COM sasl_authz_id = imap/host.example.com(a)EXAMPLE.COM I have tried with different values in dn and sasl_authz_id and also leaving them out completely but I always end up with the error message above. Using simple bind without GSSAPI works just fine. The credentials cache file exists and is valid for the principal imap/host.example.com(a)EXAMPLE.COM. The file is owned by dovecot user so it shouldn't be a permission problem either. GSSAPI in OpenLDAP works but I suppose it is irrelevant here since the connection attempt never reaches the LDAP server due to the error. I also have similar setup for Postfix and it works fine. Any ideas what to try next? Best regards, Juha

Managesieve port 4190 not working
by Marcio Vogel Merlone dos Santos 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Hi all, I am working on a fresh install with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Dovecot 2.2.22-1ubuntu2.1. I am unable to open port 4190, just 2000. I have this on 20-managesieve.conf: protocols = $protocols sieve service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } } service managesieve { process_limit = 1024 } protocol sieve { mail_debug=yes } This way I get only port 2000, if comment out the "sieve_deprecated" section leaving just the "inet_listener sieve" I get nothing. Could not find anything useful on logs or strace. Any hint? Thanks in advance, best regards. -- *Marcio Merlone*

Quota & prefetch uiserDB questions
by Cédric ML 12 Oct '16

12 Oct '16

Hello, I'm trying to make quota work on my dovecot server. I'm using prefetch userdb (source : http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Prefetch) with a database located on a remote host : passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } With password_query containing (source : http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration) : password_query = SELECT \ username AS user, \ password, \ homedir AS userdb_home, \ maildir AS userdb_mail, \ uid AS userdb_uid, \ gid AS userdb_gid, \ CONCAT('*:bytes=', quota) AS userdb_quota_rule \ FROM mailbox \ WHERE username = '%u' When I change the quota value in DB, it's not reflected to maildirsize file of the user. If I delete maildirsize file, it's re-created but not with the quota value which is set in the DB. Questions : how is this maildirsize file created ? how is it updated ? is there a way to make maildir++ quota work with dovecot using prefetch userDB ? Or do I have to use dict quotas ? Many thanks for your help. Regards, Cédric

[imap-login] SSL related crashes using the latest 2.2.25
by Adi Pircalabu 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

I'm running Dovecot as proxy in front of some IMAP/POP3 Dovecot & Courier-IMAP servers and in the last couple of days I've been seeing a lot of imap-login crashes (signal 11) on both 2.2.18 and 2.2.25, all SSL related. The following backtraces are taken running 2.2.25, built from source on a test system similar to the live proxy servers. OS: CentOS 6.8 64bit Packages: openssl-1.0.1e-48.el6_8.3.x86_64, dovecot-2.2.25-2.el6.x86_64 built from source RPM. Can post "doveconf -a" if required. Core was generated by `dovecot/imap-login -D'.

[feature suggestion] pigeonhole - sendmail path for outgoing email
by krzf83＠gmail.com 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

pigeonhole seems to use /usr/sbin/sendmail for its outgoing emails - even tought that is does not seem to be documented anywhere. How about setting to specify diffrent sendmail program path and parameters?

doveadm reload kicked proxy/director users
by Peer Heinlein 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

We just noticed, that a doveadm reload kicked all existing imap-sessions on our Dovecot Director. We're surprised about that, because shutdown_clients is set to NO. Is there any way to reload a config change without kicking all IMAP sessions?

Changing Dovecot's format from Maildir to mdbox
by Kristopher Joyce 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hello, I am trying to change Dovecot's email format from Maildir to mdbox. I have changed Maildir to mdbox in Mail_location from: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n to: mdbox:/var/vmail/%d/%n. Nothing seems to happen after I restart Dovecot. The users are virtual users and not local users. Is there something I am missing? Thanks Kris --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Dovecot + SAN with dedup+compression
by María Arrea 04 Oct '16

04 Oct '16

Hello We have a big Dovecot Server (over 20 TB of mail, 40K users, over 30K iops) and we are evaluating a new SAN Array. We have competitive proposals from Pure Storage (All Flash) , HP 3Par (Hybrid), NetApp FaaS (Hybrid) & EMC Unity (Hybrid). We rely in mdbox+zlib for main storage and mdbox+lzma for secondary storage, does anybody in the list have experience with SAN-based deduplication/compression? Regards Maria.

Dovecot + SAMBA4
by doys 04 Oct '16

04 Oct '16

hello, I'm new to this forum:) I couldn't found any topic with the same problem and I'm sorry for the inconvenience if there is already one.

I think this is still the case: when I exported NFSv4, I also turned on both r/w delegation as well. The exported filesystem exhibited weird locking or slow write operations on NFS clients (e.g. "touch newfile" would take a second to complete). This went away when I turned off write delegation.

doveadm backup fails (compromised single attachment storage)
by Webert de Souza Lima 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Hi, A couple of months ago I had a problem with Single Attachment Storage after infrastructure migration; All mailboxes were rsynced to another filesystem, and that may have broken Single Attachment Storage. Many, many (if not all) mailboxes show the below logs on dovecot: imap(foo(a)bar.com): Error: read(attachments-connector(zlib(/dovecotdir/mail/ bar.com/foo/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/u.26426))) failed: read(/dovecotdir/attach/ bar.com/de/86/de8673894d6fb3f4460e3c26436eefa9a73517fa0f000452f553822367220… b/l]) failed: open(/dovecotdir/attach/ bar.com/de/86/de8673894d6fb3f4460e3c26436eefa9a73517fa0f000452f553822367220…) failed: No such file or directory When that happens, the MUA keeps syncing forever. Now, I need to migrate all mailboxes (again) to another dovecot instance (with no SAS), which works perfectly for new users but when I try to migrate users from my current dovecot server for this new server, I get such errors again, and I can't migrate: 2016-09-29T12:20:50.995934059Z Sep 29 12:20:50 dsync-server(foo(a)bar.com): Error: dsync(cf7d091311eb): read(attachments-connector(zlib(/dovecotdir/mdbox/bar.com/foo/storage/m.1))) failed: read(/dovecotdir/attach/ bar.com/0c/df/0cdf86b1920938fe3a043f87e2ee9e63dda276bd5b9fba687e4a0c63d181c… b/l]) failed: open(/dovecotdir/attach/ bar.com/0c/df/0cdf86b1920938fe3a043f87e2ee9e63dda276bd5b9fba687e4a0c63d181c…) failed: No such file or directory (last sent=mail, last recv=mail_request (EOL)) Is there a way to fix the attachments problem?

Shared folder in a sharded cluster setup
by Peer Heinlein 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Hi! With Dovecot Director and Proxy or the new (great!) TAG-feature from Dovecot it's easy to set up a shared IMAP-Cluster with individual local filesystems. But I'm unsure if it's possible to build a setup where shared mailboxes still can work. If user A is on Cluster (1) and user B is on (2), and Cluster (1) does not have access to the mail-home from B on (2), then user A can not reach the shared folders provided from User B on (2). I hope that there is a kind of backend-proxy-mechanism, so that the imap process of A on (1) can imap-proxy the requests for the shared folder to a node from cluster shard (2). And: To be exact, the imap process on (1) should forward the request to cluster (2) by the director system to make sure, that the connection will terminate on the right active backend of User B. This sounds like a special problem if local filesystems with mdbox are used and I now the great features of using Dovecot on Object Store, where every node can check out all mail-locations from all users. But especially on obox-systems it is very important that requests for a user are always terminated on the same backend. So how can shared folders work there?! Node (1) can not checkout the shared folders from User B if his obox storage is already active on another host (2)!

Requiring client certificate on only one interface
by Braden Thomas 02 Oct '16

02 Oct '16

Hi, I'm trying to require client certificates on only one interface. I'm running dovecot 2.1.7. There have been a couple of recent threads about this kind of configuration: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-August/105244.html (Aug 2016) http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-February/103067.html (Feb 2016) However, these threads recommend an approach that no longer works. Specifically, the "-l" or "-P" arguments to imap-login no longer work. Is there currently a recommended way to configure dovecot like this? Braden

Bug: Shared Mailbox - Case Sensitivity
by Leander Schäfer 01 Oct '16

01 Oct '16

Hi, unfortunately I found a bug in Dovecot's ACL handling for shared mailboxes. It turns out Dovecot doesn't enforce lower casing the privileged username to whom the mailbox should be shared to. This results in a invalid configuration. Users get confused, since they passed on a valid email address in their ACL setup. /usr/local/www/default/mail/test(a)mydomain.localdomain/maildir/.Spam/dovecot-acl user=leander(a)mydomain.localdomain eilrwts ^^ works /usr/local/www/default/mail/leander(a)mydomain.localdomain/maildir/dovecot-acl user=test(a)mydomain.localdomain eilrwts ^^ works /usr/local/www/default/mail/test(a)mydomain.localdomain/maildir/.Drafts/dovecot-acl user=Leander(a)MyDomain.LocalDomain eilrwts ^^ Doesn't work Best regards Leander Schäfer

acl_group not working not working correctly
by Leander Schäfer 01 Oct '16

01 Oct '16

Hi, I'm trying to setup group based ACLs coming from OpenLDAP. My setup doesn't require a POSIX Group match. In the Dovecot configuration file I have this: "user_attrs = [...], mailAclGroups=acl_groups" as well as "acl = vfile:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300". The user has "public" in the LDAP attribute "mailAclGroups". It seems to get everything right. I checked with doveadm - and I see public ist listed as expected: cat /var/log/debug.log [...] Sep 16 23:39:04 WM-01 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=leander(a)mydomain.localdomain acl_groups=public [...] cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot/global-acls INBOX owner lrwstipekxa Drafts owner lrwstipeka Sent owner lrwstipeka Spam owner lrwstipeka Trash owner lrwstipeka Public authenticated l Public group-override=public lrwstipekx Public/* group-override=public lrwstipekx doveadm mailbox list -u leander(a)mydomain.localdomain Drafts Sent Trash Spam Shared Public Public/Service Center Shared/test(a)mydomain.localdomain Shared/test(a)mydomain.localdomain/Drafts Shared/test(a)mydomain.localdomain/Sent Shared/test(a)mydomain.localdomain/Trash Shared/test(a)mydomain.localdomain/Spam INBOX But here comes the strange thing: telnet equal to Thunderbird: .

NFSv4 and Maildir
by Robert Blayzor 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Recently moving to newer storage platforms for mailbox storage so looking at moving mounts from NFSv3 with lots of issues with locking and caching to NFSv4. There seems to be a lot of benefits to v4 along with some other new features, namely “delegation”. So the question boils down to, to delegate or not delegate on Maildir storage. There may be many reasons based on actual platform why to do (or not to do this), but I want to get the general opinion from others that may have more experience with this. Our setup is several FreeBSD 10.x clients running Dovecot/Exim, NetApp NFS mail storage (probably moving to TrueNAS) and using F5 load balancers for client side connections/SSL offload. From what I’ve found (and what i’ve read in the RFC) is that delegation seems to work best when there is NOT a lot of file contention from clients accessing the same files. I realize that in some situations many people are using director to try and keep users on the same client; in our case we’re doing it with F5 iRules. The F5 iRules work great for POP3 and IMAP session persistence, but unfortunately that doesn’t work for SMTP and Dovecot LDA, so we still have possible race conditions from the MTA’s delivering into “INBOX”. (mostly dovecot indexes updating at the same time). So the big question is, who is using Dovecot with maildirs with NFSv4 mounts. What has your experience been? Are you using delegation? By choice and why did you come to that decision. I’m drawing up the conclusion that if you can *mostly* control client control to specific files (ie: directing access to a mailbox to come from one client), then delegation might be ok. However, if you’re not using director and have several NFS mail clients racing to access mailboxes, then delegation might turn into chaos. Your comments welcome and appreciated. -- Robert inoc.net!rblayzor XMPP: rblayzor.AT.inoc.net PGP Key: 78BEDCE1 @ pgp.mit.edu

To be exact here, it's not the compiler but the linker failing (of course, the whole problem is about the linking process). With "--as-needed", the crypto/ssl libraries are not linked at all with the object files. I don't quite understand why it doesn't fall back to the system crypto/ssl libraries because they are in the default pathes with all other libraries. (That's basically what most other software packages do if my custom pathes for "-L" "-Wl,-R" somehow get ignored in the building process.) IMHO, the unusual option "--as-needed" should be removed. There seems to be no benefit but it basically keeps Dovecot to be linked against any custom-specified library. Maybe it's just a problem with RHEL/CentOS 6 and the GCC that ships with it. I'm compiling a lot of software myself and link it against my custom OpenSSL. Never had this problem before, otherwise I would have known to specify "-Wl,--no-as-needed" to reverse ld's behavior to the default. Well, at least I've learned something new. :-) Regards, Andreas

Trying to regain access to my email archive after an upgrade.
by Rick Jones 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hi - I had been running an Ubuntu 12.04 system on which I receive email, with an inbox in /var/mail/ and a bunch of folders under ~/Maildir. When I upgraded from 14.04 there were a bunch of questions about keeping old/new config files and my muddling through it has me seeing only the inbox, and then a Drafts, Sent and Trash Folder. I would like to regain access to the messages stored under ~/Maildir, but have been thoroughly unsuccessful. I seem to run into duplicate prefix issues and I suspect I have other issues, when I try to add: namespace rest { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:~/Maildir } to what is already present.

imapc fetch optimization
by Nagy, Attila 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hi, imapc does a lot of UID FETCH $UID (BODY.PEEK[]), which is nice, because it works even with the dumbest IMAP server, altough it really kills performance, especially on high latency lines. I wonder: if IMAP servers can effectively handle boundless fetches (like a list with all wanted UIDs, or simply 1:* if all are needed), do you see this as a good addition to develop? This could be a new imapc_features setting afterall... Thanks,

Shared mailboxes nightmare (for me :-( )
by Felix Rubio Dalmau 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Hi everybody, I am honestly desperate: I have spent/invested the whole day in trying to set a shared mailbox, with quite partial success. The INBOX is merged with the top level mailbox, and there are many more folders. To give an idea, for the shared account sharedacc(a)domain.org, this is how looks the folder structure: sharedacc |-folderA |-folderB \-folderC in the account for usera(a)domain.org, I see the following: usera |-folderD |-folderE |-folderF \-shared \-sharedacc So, I do not get to see folderA, folderB, folderC, etc. My configuration is: # 2.2.25 (7be1766): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.14 (099a97c) # OS: Linux 4.5.4-0 x86_64 Debian stretch/sid zfs mail_plugins = zlib expire acl plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl } dict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } namespace { list = children location = mdbox:/mnt/vmail/%%d/%%n:INDEXPVT=/mnt/vmail/indexes/shared/%%d/%%n prefix = shared/%%n/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = zlib expire acl sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = zlib expire acl antispam imap_acl } the files I have one the account for sharedacc are: sharedacc |-dovecot-acl |-dovecot-acl-list \-mailboxes |-dovecot-acl |-folderA | \-dbox-Mails | \-dovecot-acl |-folderB | \-dbox-Mails | \-dovecot-acl \-folderC \-dbox-Mails \-dovecot-acl In dovecot-acl-list I have the following contents: 1474920778 folderA 1474920778 folderB 1474920778 folderC and in every dovecot-acl, I have: user=usera(a)domain.org akxeilprwts All the files on the filesystem are owned by the same vmail user. What is strange is that I can see all these folderA, folderB, folderC in roundcube, and I can click to subscribe to them. However, when I go back to the general view, the subscriptions have been reset and I see only sharedacc, without a thing inside. Finally, in kmail I can see the subscribed folders without a problem (??!) Can please somebody help me?

Setting hostdomain
by Arie Peterson 25 Sep '16

25 Sep '16

Hi all, Preparing for a replication setup, I read (at the bottom of <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication>) that `dovecot --hostdomain` should give a different output on the two servers. This is not the case for me: both give "localhost". I'm trying to change my configuration to set the hostdomain to another value, but I can't find how to do this. I tried: • setting the environment variable DOVECOT_HOSTDOMAIN=mydomain in /etc/default/dovecot (which is read by the init script); • adding the line import_environment = TZ DOVECOT_HOSTDOMAIN=mydomain to dovecot.conf; • the combination of both of the above. However, after restarting dovecot none of these changes seem to have any effect: `dovecot --hostdomain` still returns "localhost". This is with dovecot version 2.2.13. How should one change this setting? Thanks, Arie

configure fail if libssl is named libssl-opt
by A. Schulze 25 Sep '16

25 Sep '16

Hello, I try to build dovecot with my own version of openssl. It's compiled in a way the libraries can coexist without symbol conflict with the real OpenSSL in /usr: They are named libssl-opt and libcrypto-opt. Now configure fail to find my libssl-opt: CFLAGS="..." CXXFLAGS="..." CPPFLAGS="..." LDFLAGS="..." SSL_LIBS='-lssl-opt -lcrypto-opt' ./configure ... --with-ssl=openssl ... checking for SSL_read in -lssl... no configure: error: Can't build with OpenSSL: libssl not found Is there an other way to tell configure the ssl libraries have other names?

Try this: Create a directory and do the following in that directory. Create the file openssl.cnf with the following information: [ req ] default_md = sha2 distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name [ req_distinguished_name ] countryName = US localityName = Boulder organizationName = Your orginizations name here organizationalUnitName = IT Department emailAddress = some email address at your company commonName = "Just a simple statement about the company" [ certauth ] subjectKeyIdentifier = hash authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always,issuer:always basicConstraints = CA:true [ client ] basicConstraints = critical,CA:FALSE keyUsage = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment extendedKeyUsage = clientAuth Just change the things you need to for you. Then issue the following command. openssl req -config ./openssl.cnf -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyform PEM -keyout dovecot.key -x509 - days 365 -extensions certauth -outform PEM -out dovecot.pem -subj "/C=US/postalCode=00000/ST=state/L=city/streetAddress=some street/O=company name/OU=IT Department/CN=dovecort cert/emailAddress=email(a)yourcompany.com" Just change the C, O, OU, etc for your needs. Then verify the contents via: openssl x509 -noout -in dovecot.pem -subject openssl x509 -noout -in dovecot.pem -issuer openssl x509 -noout -in dovecot.pem -enddate openssl x509 -noout -in dovecot.pem -text This will show what is in the certificate. Now copy the pem & key files to where you want them. Restart dovecot. You may have to change the configuration to use the names just created.

Director keeping IMAP connections alive
by Webert de Souza Lima 23 Sep '16

23 Sep '16

Hello, I have a 2 director - 2 dovecot set up in a cluster. >From time to time I notice high usage of RAM by dovecot process, and analyzing with doveadm who, I see many users with dozens, even hundreds of PIDs. Inspecting those PIDs I see each one of them is an IMAP connection, coming from either director process, and ESTABILISHED. A deeper analysis shows me that there ltos of connections from the same users to BOTH dovecot instances, but as I am using director, this shouldn't happen, right? Ok. The thing is, one of the dovecot instances have only old connections (like 3 days old) and the other dovecot have some old and some newer connections. So, director is redirecting recent connections to the right dovecot, as expected, but it is keeping many of old and unused connections open, consuming resources. output of doveconf -n from dovecot: http://pastebin.com/trMEjeAs output of doveconf -n from director: http://pastebin.com/EUpHYMKY Thanks.

Broken auth-* sockets.

Hello. I am migrating my servers to Ubuntu and have been having an issue with Dovecot authenticator service. Exim is set up to use dovecot-auth, anticipating the question whether exim binary was compiled with support of Dovecot authenticator, it was: --- # exim -bV Exim version 4.86_2 #1 built 05-Apr-2016 12:21:41 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge, 1995 - 2015 (c) The Exim Maintainers and contributors in ACKNOWLEDGMENTS file, 2007 - 2015 Berkeley DB: Berkeley DB 5.3.28: (September 9, 2013) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 PAM Perl Expand_dlfunc GnuTLS move_frozen_messages Content_Scanning DKIM Old_Demime DNSSEC PRDR OCSP Lookups (built-in): lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmjz dbmnz dnsdb dsearch ldap ldapdn ldapm mysql nis nis0 passwd pgsql sqlite Authenticators: cram_md5 cyrus_sasl dovecot plaintext spa tls Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral iplookup manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore/mbx autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 Configuration file is /etc/exim4/exim4.conf --- The problem is sockets Dovecot creates are somehow broken.

More than that, I temporarily chmodded it "rw" for the world as follows: --- # ls -l /var/dovecot/auth-* srw-rw-rw- 1 Debian-exim root 0 Aug 17 21:20 /var/dovecot/auth-client srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Aug 17 21:20 /var/dovecot/auth-login srw-rw-rw- 1 Debian-exim root 0 Aug 17 21:20 /var/dovecot/auth-master -rw------- 1 root root 32 Aug 15 19:35 /var/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat srw-rw-rw- 1 dovecot root 0 Aug 17 21:20 /var/dovecot/auth-userdb srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Aug 17 21:20 /var/dovecot/auth-worker --- and Exim reports the same problem.

Logging of custom mail headers
by Francesco Fiore 22 Sep '16

22 Sep '16

Hi, I need to configure Dovecot to log some custom mail headers. I red the documentation of the mail_log plugin but I didn't found which field I've to use as value for mail_log_fields parameter. So, I red the plugin code but in mail-log-plugin.c there're defined only "from" and "subject" fields that match some email header. I found three alternatives: 1. use the mail_filter plugin (spawning a new process, ecc.) 2. coding a new plugin using the notify plugin 3. propose a patch to the mail_log plugin that use a new configuration parameter (es. mail_log_headers) and log the specified mail headers Which is the better solution for you? Thanks in advance Francesco

dsync-server: Configure lock-file location?
by Udo Waechter 21 Sep '16

21 Sep '16

Good day everyone, I have a situation where my mail-folder structure (mdbox) ist like this: My users have the following data: $ doveadm user XYZ(a)xx.com field value home /srv/mail/ mail mdbox:foo/XYZ@xx.com/ I also do replication between 2 nodes. Now, I sometimes (when a lot of replication is happening I get the following errors: dovecot: dsync-local(XYZ(a)xx.com): Error: Couldn't lock /srv/mail//.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 60 seconds This of course not only for XYZ(a)xx.com It seems to me, that my mailbox structure should rather be: $ doveadm user XYZ(a)xx.com field value home /srv/mail/foo mail mdbox:XYZ@xx.com/ in order to get rid of these messages? Unfortunatly I cannot change that. I've searched around and took a look into the code of dsync-server, unfortunatly the path to the lockfile is not configurable. Is there a way to somehow configure the lock-file location for dsync-server? Thanks very much, udo.

The reason is that dovecot rebinds to anonymous bind after succesful auth bind instead of rebinding to external sasl bind.

Sieve vacation won't send second reply after timeout interval.
by David Williams 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

Hi there I'm having problems getting sieve to send a second vacation response. For testing I've set sieve_vacation_min_period = 500s and the seconds option in the script is 600. I send the first test message and get a reply fine I then wait about 12 minutes send a second message and get no reply. In the log I get "discarded duplicate response". I've restarted dovecot and removed the .dovecot.lda-dupes file before running the last test. I'm using LMTP for delivery to Dovecot. The sieve script is require ["vacation-seconds"]; # rule:[Vacation] if true { vacation :seconds 600 :addresses "username(a)mydomain.com" :subject "vacation" "test"; } and doveconf -n is # 2.2.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.9 (357ac0a0e68b+) # OS: Linux 3.18.12-gentoo x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.2 ext4 auth_username_format = %Ln disable_plaintext_auth = no imap_capability = +XLIST mail_location = maildir:/srv/mail/%n/Maildir managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate vacation-seconds imapflags notify namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox "Sent Items" { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = * driver = pam } plugin { sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_default = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags +vacation-seconds sieve_vacation_default_period = 1d sieve_vacation_min_period = 500s sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient = yes } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.com protocols = imap lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mode = 0777 user = } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 10024 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/server.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot/server.key submission_host = localhost userdb { driver = passwd override_fields = home=/srv/mail/%n } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = sieve } protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve } I've changed the identifying info to stop any spammers.

[Dovecot] Plugins: virtuals vs acls
by Leho Kraav 20 Sep '16

Hi all dovecot-virtual: * all when dovecot-acl files restrict some subset of * for a user, does dovecot respect these ACLs when collecting messages for virtual folder? I'd like a confirmation about what I should be seeing when I start implementing this setup.

Dovecot and imapproxy
by Grant 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

imapproxy sped things up a lot for me when I was using courier. I switched to dovecot a while back and kept using imapproxy. Lately I've been noticing weird TCP Queuing spikes in my munin graphs and discontinuing my use of imapproxy seems to have smoothed them out completely and I haven't noticed a slowdown in webmail. Is imapproxy generally not necessary with dovecot? - Grant

Panic: file auth-request.c
by Chris Wik 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hello Dovecot list, We've been running a really old CentOS 5 server with the stock dovecot from yum (1.0.7) for years and years with absolutely no problems. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, or something like that. Well it finally broke, but only due to the server no longer being able to handle the load of the increasing user base (many thousands now, with hundreds of concurrent IMAP connections any any given time) So we upgraded to a new CentOS 7 server with SSD RAID, fast CPUs and tons of RAM. No more load problems. We compiled the latest dovecot from source (as the version from CentOS yum repo is already quite old, figure we might as well run the latest version since we were upgrading anyway). Thanks to excellent documentation on dovecot.org and fairly thorough testing, the upgrade was quite smooth. We kept all the message UUIDs intact and tried to match the supported authentication methods etc to the old setup, and we didn't have any problems with clients re-downloading or re-syncing mail. We do however have one problem, which prompted me to join this list. It is the same problem as described in this thread from last month: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-July/104899.html Here's the excerpt from our maillog: Sep 17 19:34:57 mail dovecot: auth: Panic: file auth-request.c: line 1049 (auth_request_lookup_credentials): assertion failed: (request->credentials_scheme == scheme) Sep 17 19:34:57 mail dovecot: auth: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x89470) [0x7fa9cb8af470] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x8954e) [0x7fa9cb8af54e] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7fa9cb851f75] -> dovecot/auth() [0x4165bc] -> dovecot/auth() [0x4221fb] -> dovecot/auth() [0x41620b] -> dovecot/auth(auth_request_lookup_credentials_callback+0x58) [0x4162f8] -> dovecot/auth(passdb_handle_credentials+0x6a) [0x4254ba] -> dovecot/auth() [0x425b62] -> dovecot/auth() [0x41c1f8] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x4c) [0x7fa9cb8c207c] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xd7) [0x7fa9cb8c3377] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x25) [0x7fa9cb8c2105] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7fa9cb8c22b8] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7fa9cb857f33] -> dovecot/auth(main+0x2eb) [0x40ccdb] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7fa9c9dc2b15] -> dovecot/auth() [0x40cf15] On the client side, it manifests as an authentication failure, and the user is prompted to re-enter their password. The reports we've had are all from users who have their passwords saved in a local password manager, so the client is definitely sending the correct password. It's not related to a particular mail client. It is also definitely not related to the particular user or password, as the user will authenticate many times successfully and then (seemingly) randomly be hit by this bug and prompted to re-enter their password. We enabled verbose logging and even logging of passwords for failed authentication attempts in an attempt to find a pattern, but so far we have not found one. Similar to the original poster in the above thread, we are using a MySQL backend, and CentOS 7 on x86_64 It happens quite frequently: in the past 6 days it happened 49175 times, according to a grep of the maillog. In the same period there were 294167 successful IMAP logins and 160322 POP3 logins. For now we have downgraded to 2.2.4 and so far have not seen the crash recorded in the maillog. What can we do to help track down and fix this bug? # dovecot -n # 2.2.24 (a82c823): /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.10.0-327.28.3.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log default_client_limit = 5000 default_process_limit = 1000 disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 89 mail_debug = yes mail_fsync = never mail_gid = 89 mail_location = maildir:/var/virtual/%d/%n mail_uid = 89 namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl_ca = <*** ssl_cert = <*** ssl_key = <*** userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } verbose_ssl = yes protocol lmtp { mail_fsync = optimized } protocol lda { mail_fsync = optimized } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 20 } -- Chris Wik Anu Internet Services www.anu.net | www.cwik.ch

dovecot --hostdomain
by dovecot＠nspace.de 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hi, I'm currently debugging replication issues and I found that both servers answer to a "dovecot --hostdomain" simply with localhost From what I've read, this can lead to problems. Where do I configure the dovecot hostdomain name? The machine itself has a valid name in /etc/hostname Thanks, Thomas

Yes, exactly, that's my usual approach. I've used this as well for building other software with custom libraries. Unfortunately, I remember CFLAGS/LDFLAGS didn't play well with Dovecot, so I used SSL_CFLAGS/SSL_LIBS as suggested by the documentation and that worked well. > I use this myself (except the -Wl part since these libs are > symlinked to my shared library path). I think "-R/my/ssl/lib" > might also be synonymous with -Wl,... Based on your mail I've tried CFLAGS/LDFLAGS again, and now Dovecot didn't even compile any longer. I was close to giving up. But obviously, I didn't ... :-) After some investigation I found the non-default linker option "-Wl,--as-needed" as problem which is enabled by Dovecot for unknown reasons. Finally, this call to "configure" generates proper Makefile files to build Dovecot with a custom SSL library: env CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/ssl/lib" LIBS="-Wl,--no-as-needed -lcrypto -lssl" SSL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" SSL_LIBS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,--no-as-needed -lcrypto -lssl" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl (chances are that SSL_CFLAGS/SSL_LIBS could be removed completely but it won't hurt) I've read the section in the "ld" manual but still don't understand why Dovecot enables --as-needed (never seen that before with other software) and why it's such a big problem. But I'm no expert here. > I don't have that problem -- I use configure to tell dovecot where to find > my self-compiled openssl, and the resulting executables load from where I > want. Thanks for pointing me at the proper direction again. Now Dovecot 2.2.25 compiles for me with a custom SSL. I understand that this issue might not have a high priority but maybe one of the developers could check if "--as-needed" is really needed (as it confuses people who try to use custom libraries) and what's the deeper meaning of SSL_CFLAGS/SSL_LIBS. My system is a regular CentOS 6 (latest sub-release with all patches), nothing special except for a custom SSL installation. Greetings, Andreas

BUG - DELETE Public/Folder not working with Thunderbird
by Leander Schäfer 18 Sep '16

Hi, Unfortunately it looks like the parameter: "imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep" does not work. Neither inside nor outside "protocol imap {}" configuration section.

converting maildir to mailbox
by Anton Yuzhaninov 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

Hi all! There is a script to convert maildir to mailbox in wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat but it doesn't convert any message flags (seen e.t.c.). I wrote a script, which converts most flags and labels: https://bitbucket.org/citrin/scripts/src/tip/dovecot-maildir2mbox.pl It doesn't convert recent flag and UIDs though, because it was not necessary in my case. Do you think link to the script should be added to dovecot wiki? -- WBR, Anton Yuzhaninov P. S. My use case was: get maildir from other server, convert to mbox, compress (gzip -9) and add to my mailbox as read-only archive.

pop3 deleted count
by Dave 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

On pop3 logout, we're seeing log lines where the deleted count is blank (using default pop3_logout_format), so "del=%d/%m" is displaying in the logs as: "del=/1186" for example. In src/pop3/pop3-client.c:552: tab[4].value = client->delete_success ? dec2str(client->deleted_count) : 0; Shouldn't this be: tab[4].value = client->delete_success ? dec2str(client->deleted_count) : "0"; (very minor bug) -- Dave

How to obtain a "non-stripped" executable for producing a usable core-dump
by Ben Johnson 14 Sep '16

14 Sep '16

Hello, I'm attempting to capture a core-dump file, and gdb reports warning: core file may not match specified executable file. And only after installing "dovecot-dbg" on my system (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) does gdb report further warning: the debug information found in "/lib64/ld-2.23.so" does not match "/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2" (CRC mismatch). It took some searching the internet to realize that both messages are likely the result of having a "stripped" executable: # file /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=49c9c607c304a5c853c05a4ccb9e4b995f185ac4, stripped So, how best I am I to obtain a "non-stripped" dovecot-lda executable? Must I forego my distro's repositories and download the dovecot source, compiling every executable and all plugins "from scratch", in order to obtain a useful core-dump file? Perhaps the bug report instructions at http://www.dovecot.org/bugreport.html should mention "stripped" executables and how to avoid them. Perhaps I am simply ignorant, but if that is the case, there is little to no hope for the "average user" where submitting bug reports is concerned. Any guidance would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance, -Ben

Limit replication to one user
by Arne Hoffmann 14 Sep '16

14 Sep '16

Hello, we have a setup here where the main (and only important) feature of the IMAP server is the public folder. Two Dovecot instances are running in a active/passive cluster and mailstorage should be replicated between the two. Since there is a race condition when using public namespaces (locking on user level and not on mailbox level) I had the intention of limiting the replication to one user. I read somewhere that dsync is replicating all the users the command "doveadm user '*'" shows. And the command only shows *one* user because I have modified the iterate_query: ,----[/etc/dovecot/mysql.conf] | iterate_query = SELECT username AS user FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'data_replication(a)example.com' `---- root [~]# doveadm user '*' data_replication(a)example.com root [~]# So, why does Dovecot still replicate mails from other users inboxes? And why does doveadm replicator still show other users? root [~]# doveadm replicator status '*' username priority fast sync full sync success sync failed data_replication(a)example.com none 00:57:14 01:13:21 00:57:12 - arne.hoffmann(a)example.com none 00:20:04 00:31:40 00:20:02 - root [~]# [I removed some whitespace to keep line length in check] Any explanation of this behavior would be just awesome.

Dovecot con Autentication Checkpassword error signal 111

Good morning, It is the first time I write in this mailing list and I apologize in advance for possible nonsense that i can write.

As the initial performance is bad it scales pretty quickly with space used. So it handles maildir storage very well. The latency is a little high but with indexes there is no problem. It works as NFS storage with unlimited space (8EB) and you pay for what you use. So it turns out to be very cost effective as you do not have to worry about reserving space. For better performance you can keep indexes on ephermal storage or EBS, which both have much lower access times. As for 'elastic cloud type hosting' EFS store can be used by thousands of instances in multiple AWS AZs at the same time, so it looks like it is somehow optimized.

Sieve filtering SPAM and redirect

Hi every body. I'm having difficulties to setup my filters correctly and I really need some help. This is my environment: Mail that is received on the system passes through a sieve_before script that checks the message header for SPAM tag and store it into the "Junk" folder. If no spam tag is found, mail goes to inbox. My horde webmail is integrated with sieve, so this allow users to create their own scripts to store mail in other folders or forward them to external accounts. And this are the problems I'm having: 1 - When users create a forward filter to redirect to external mail, mail that is stored inside the Junk folder are not forwarded; 2 - If I insert a "keep" parameter inside the sieve_before script to keep processing the rules, the mail is forwarded, but becomes duplicated and stored inside the inbox or other folders, if the user has more filters. 3 - If I move my sieve_before script to sieve_after, the same thing happened, one copy is stored on the user selected folder (inbox or filtered), including mail marked as SPAM. My needs are: I need to separate SPAM and HAM e-mail before users intervention (so I need sieve_before). But this SPAM e-mail has to be forwarded if a forward filter is created. Is it possible to use a sieve_after script that moves (instead of copy) the user mail marked as SPAM to the Junk folder even if it was stored in a different folder? Is that possible? Thanks a lot.

Use of obox2 and AWS S3
by Raymond Sellars 10 Sep '16

10 Sep '16

Hi Has anyone used or is using dovecot obox and S3 storage? I see very little chatter or documentation on it. Interested in how mature it is and technical items such as high availability and region replication. I'm guessing that multiple updates to a S3 mailbox is mitigated via the standard dovecot pattern of Director pointing multiple user sessions to a single/common dovecot node. And for disaster recovery - that's out of scope of dovecot and more reliant on S3 replication? Any one running a dovecot solution within AWS in general? Interested in best practice for the storage layer. Although NFS is possible its not really optimised for elastic cloud type hosting. Thanks Raymond

sieve - find in header
by Hajo Locke 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Hello list, have a problem with sieve script. I want to perform an action if an arbitrary headerline contains a defined string. I tried with regex: if header :regex [".*"] ["searchstri.*"] { fileinto "junk"; } This is not working because regex is only used in 2nd argument ["searchstri.*"] In 1st argument [".*"] no regex is used, sieve expects just plain string. Something like this would work, if "x-myheader" contains "searchstring": if header :regex ["x-myheader"] ["searchstri.*"].... How to solve this case and find a string in arbitrary/unknown headerline? Thanks, Hajo

OK, the origin of your problem becomes clearer. You can hardcode these paths into the executables by doing something like env CFLAGS='-I/my'ssl/include' \ LDFLAGS='-L/your/ssl/lib -Wl,-rpath,/my/ssl/lib' \ configure ... I use this myself (except the -Wl part since these libs are symlinked to my shared library path). I think "-R/my/ssl/lib" might also be synonymous with -Wl,... > Dovecot is the only package I know of where there are like a thousand > places to put additional libs in the Makefile.am files, but most of > them are totally ignored by configure. I don't have that problem -- I use configure to tell dovecot where to find my self-compiled openssl, and the resulting executables load from where I want. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

doveadm quota recalc returns a Segmentation fault
by Alessio Cecchi 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hi, with the latest dovecot-ee version (2.2.25.4 (5cb7c97)) if I run “doveadm quota recalc -u alessio(a)skye.xn--it-02t dovecot return a “Segmentation fault” (but the quota is update fine). Since dovecot version 2.2.24.3 (55cdc32) works fine. This is my quota backends configuration: plugin { quota = maildir:UserQuota quota2 = dict:Quota Usage::noenforcing:proxy::sqlquota } dict { sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } I found that if I comment the line “quota2 = dict:…” doveadm quota recalc works fine. I have two quota backends because with dict I can store everybody's current quota usage in a SQL database for fast retrieving (like quota_clone plugin but I cannot switch to it immediately).

You can also affect where shared libraries are loaded using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

It's fine for a temporary working around problems (like this one, so you're absolutely right :-) However, no program should require that for regular use because you never know exactly if somebody in the chain of executed code removes certain environment variables. And also the opposite way, if Dovecot runs external programs, those might not play well with an existing LD_LIBARY_PATH and incompatible SSL libraries. For every program I compile myself, I link it against my custom OpenSSL library (always newest version; distributions usually tend to stick with a specific version and only apply security fixes). For most packages (eg, Exim, Apache HTTP, BIND, INN, OpenSSH, Mutt, wget etc.) it pretty straightforward. Even if not, usually I can find a quick solution myself. Dovecot is the only package I know of where there are like a thousand places to put additional libs in the Makefile.am files, but most of them are totally ignored by configure. And even if I modify the Makefile files after configure, again most of the additional options get ignored. Never seen it that complicated. As Dovecot is my favorite IMAP daemon, there's no way I'm giving up. :-) I'm totally confident that the developers will find a good solution. And I'm happy to test every patch they come up with. Greetings, Andreas

Cannot subscribe to Public mailbox
by MI 04 Sep '16

04 Sep '16

I'm trying to set up a Public mailbox, but when I try to subscribe to it in Thunderbird, nothing happens: it doesn't appear as a folder, and when I go back to the Subscribe window, it is unchecked again. I use postfix local dlivery, which created a Maildir when a mail arrived for this mailbox: /home/others/sharedmail/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} (sharedmail is a system user so that Postfix can deliver the mail; it doesn't have a login shell or a password) To make sure it is not a simple filesystem permissions problem, I did "chmod -R a+rwX Maildir/" This is my current config ( I tried to keep it short by leaving only what might be relevant ): # dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.9 ... mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace { list = yes location = maildir:/home/others/sharedmail/Maildir prefix = Public. separator = . subscriptions = no type = public } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox ... ... } prefix = separator = . } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } userdb { driver = passwd } Also, I'm not sure about the difference between type=public and type=shared. But anyway, I tried both with the same result.

Alternate mail store of few users is disparaged unexpectedly
by Prakash Autade 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hello, We are using dovecot with mdbox and ALT store on S3(Simple Storage System). We export the mail_location=mdbox:/<user-mailstore>/mdbox:ALT=/altmailstore/<user-mailstore>/mdbox of user in extra parameters. Today, alternate mail store of few users is disparaged unexpectedly which resulted in mail loss. We are unable to trace out why and when the alternate store is disparaged. Our hypothesis is, the folder is removed during doveadm altmove. We want to prevent this in future. It will be great if someone helps to identify the root cause. Dovecot version: 2.2.19 # dovecot -n # 2.2.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-573.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final) auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose_passwords = plain disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_fsync = always mail_gid = 65111 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = " quota" mail_uid = 65111 mdbox_rotate_interval = 1 days mdbox_rotate_size = 20 M mmap_disable = yes namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = create special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Items" { auto = create } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = create special_use = \Trash } mailbox chat { auto = create } prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size } ssl_cert = </conf/server/server.crt ssl_key = </conf/server/server.key -- Sincerely, Prakash P.

Dovecot 2.2.25 fails on SSL
by Andreas M. Kirchwitz 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Dear Dovecot developers! This problem already existed some years ago, has been fixed, and now it's there again in Dovecot 2.2.25 (2.2.24 was fine). I'm running CentOS 6 with a custom OpenSSL installation in /usr/local/ssl Therefore, Dovecot is configured like this: env SSL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include" SSL_LIBS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib -Wl,-R/usr/local/ssl/lib -lcrypto -lssl" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Dovecot-2.2.25 --with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/usr/local/Dovecot-2.2.25/etc/dovecot/certs With "pkg-config", the same options for SSL are provided. "make" and "make install" run just fine, and the daemon starts without any errors. However, if a user connects on port 993 (IMAPS), Dovecot logs this failure message to syslog: Jul 4 01:08:43 myhost dovecot: ssl-params: Fatal: Couldn't load required plugin /usr/local/Dovecot-2.2.25/lib/dovecot/libssl_iostream_openssl.so: dlopen() failed: libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Jul 4 01:08:43 myhost dovecot: ssl-params: Error: child process failed with status 22784 ldd /usr/local/Dovecot-2.2.25/lib/dovecot/libssl_iostream_openssl.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00e8c000) libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found libssl.so.1.0.0 => not found librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00be4000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x001a6000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x003e4000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x007e7000) ldd /usr/local/Dovecot-2.2.25/lib/dovecot/libdcrypt_openssl.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00dca000) libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => not found libssl.so.1.0.0 => not found librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00a7a000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00160000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x0072f000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00560000) When comparing to Dovecot 2.2.24: ldd /usr/local/Dovecot-2.2.24/lib/dovecot/libssl_iostream_openssl.so linux-gate.so.1 => (0x0073d000) libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (0x00b04000) libssl.so.1.0.0 => /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 (0x0044a000) librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00a60000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x001e5000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x003a9000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x009d0000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00d77000) There's no libdcrypt_openssl.so in Dovecot 2.2.24, so I guess with the newly introduced dcrypt stuff something with SSL went wrong. Would be great if that could be fixed so that SSL works again. Thanks a lot in advance ... Andreas

Force SSL/TLS and client certificate checking only for connections from Internet
by Konstantin Khomoutov 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

(Please CC me if possible.) I have Dovecot 2.2.13 (shipped with Debian 8 "Jessie") serving IMAP for a small organization. It's connected both to the Internet and to that organization LAN. I'd like to have Dovecot has rather tight security requirements for connections made from the Internet and reasonably laxed requirements for the LAN clients. Due to Dovecot authenticating users against a LDAP database which is also used for logging into the users' machines, we have to use somewhat weak passwords (randomly generated but short) for most users. Because of this I want to: * Mandate the usage of TLS for the connections made from Internet; * Require the clients to present their SSL certificates, and * Verify the validity of these certificates. The certificates are issued by our own CA, so it's not a problem to verify them. The first iteration was to set ssl = required and disable_plaintext_auth = yes which I then overrode with a "remote" section for LAN connections: remote 192.168.0.0/16 { disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = yes } The next iteration was to actually enable verification of the client certificates. I have set the "ssl_ca" variable appropriately, then ssl_require_crl = yes ssl_verify_client_cert = yes and auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes Then I went on and attempted to override the latter two settings for the LAN clients by appending them to my special "remote" section to it read: remote 192.168.0.0/16 { disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl = yes ssl_verify_client_cert = no auth_ssl_require_client_cert = no } But after restart Dovecot complained that I cannot use the "auth_ssl_require_client_cert" setting in a "remote" section. I have removed it in the hope that still having ssl_verify_client_cert = no there would inhibit SSL certificate checks for the LAN clients but apparently it did not. So, to recap: * I need to have tight TLS settings for the clients connecting from the Internet: - TLS is required; - The client must present a valid certificate (issued by a CA we control). * LAN clients should use relaxed security settings: TLS is okay but that's all. How do I go about setting this? (On a side note, I can supposedly get away installing stunnel and making it proxy IMAP and IMAPS connections to Dovecot -- at least from the documentation, it appears stunnel supports IMAP+STARTTLS, -- but I would rather have all this handled solely by Dovecot.)

Debian Jessie comes with systemd so you really should not use initscript anymore but switch to systemd for starting dovecot. There is systemd service description file available for you in case your vendor does not provide it in the package: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/dovecot.service.in Sami

Dsync config help
by Jean-Luc Wasmer 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Hi, I’m having a hard time with the http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication page. - for a master-master setup, does the configuration need to be mirrored on both masters? - after aggregating unrelated sections of the wiki page, there seems to be 3 different values for “mail_replica": - "remote”: for SSH - “remoteprefix": for SSH wrapper - “tcp”: for TCP connection using the Doveadm protocol Is this correct? - what’s the purpose of the replicator VS aggregator VS doveadm services? Who talks to who? Where can I find documentation about their configuration (i.e. not examples) - most examples are for a single vmail user setup… what should be done when using system accounts? Thanks, Jean-Luc

autoexpunge clarification
by Michael Fox 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

I'm trying to understand autoexpunge, but the documentation is just not clear. Hopefully, someone can clear up a few questions. http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings says the following: autoexpunge=<time>: (v2.2.20+) Automatically at user deinitialization expunge all mails in this mailbox whose saved-timestamp is older than <time> (e.g. autoexpunge=30d). This removes the need for expire plugin <http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire> if you don't care that the expunging may not always happen in time. What does "at user deinitialization" mean? What does "if you don't care that the expunging may not always happen in time" mean? I read the sub-bullets but they just aren't clear. When exactly does autoexpunge occur? Thanks, Michael

Help setting up IMAP account in Outlook 2016
by Spiro Angeli 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

Hi, I need help setting up mail clients for my email accounts running on dovecot ver 2.2.18 on CentOS release 6.8 (Final) and Plesk Web Admin Edition in Italian. For better reading I posted a forum thread where you can get all detail info: Help setting up IMAP account in Outlook 2016 Forum link: http://www.emailquestions.com/threads/help-setting-up-imap-account-in-outloo k-2016.13439 I was advised to " ask dovecot list for help with the IMAP server. " So I did and a user kindly suggested me to customize "15-mailboxes.conf " file. I have some technical questions I need to ask. Hope someone knows the answers. As Plesk continuously updates itself and manages most of the server the majority of CentOS fils report this lines on top of each file: ## ## Authentication for Plesk mail users. ## # PLEASE DON'T EDIT ANYTHING IN THIS FILE! ANY CHANGES WILL BE LOST ON UPGRADE. So if I customize this "15-mailboxes.conf " I need to make sure that Plesk does not overwrite. Also I need to make sure that it gets updated if Dovecot changes in its settings. So, my first question is: how do I manage to keep this "15-mailboxes.conf " file updatable by OS (when I update system) but at the same time retain customizations upon system updates? Second question has to do with customization: Please consult attachment for this question a. I wish to see existing server folders (Draft, Sent, Spam, Trash) on my MS Outlook mail client software only in Italian and not in English. What should I do? Roundcube displays them in Italian. AquaMail (on Android) displays them in Italian. b. I was told to solve this server wise and not mail box per mailbox. Is this correct? c. Can you please share a complete customized code, for my needs, for this "15-mailboxes.conf " so I can learn from it? Thank you, Spiro

ACL List uses wrong namespace for permissions
by Harald Leithner 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Hi, I'm using dovecot 2.2.devel (11c704a) with lazyexpunge and shared Mailboxes, this seams to work since the latest patch. There is only one problem creating the correct dovecot-acl-list, if I login as the normal user that has set permissions for another user everything is ok. If I login with the same user but with a modified roundcube that uses the #EXPUNGED Namespace as root, dovecot overrides the correct dovecot-acl-list with an empty version. I think this is the most interesting part of the log: 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: fs: root=/srv/storage1/vmail/company/628, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl: acl username = user(a)company.at 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl: owner = 1 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACLs disabled 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=#EXPUNGED/, sep=, inbox=no, hidden=yes, list=no, subscriptions=no location=mdbox:/srv/storage1/vmail/company/628:MAILBOXDIR=expunged 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: fs: root=/srv/storage1/vmail/company/628, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl: acl username = user(a)company.at 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl: owner = 1 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACLs disabled 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: Namespace : type=shared, prefix=#Users/%u/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=children, subscriptions=yes location=mdbox:/srv/storage1/vmail%h 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: shared: root=/var/run/dovecot, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl vfile: file /srv/storage1/vmail/company/628/mailboxes/dovecot-acl not found 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /srv/storage1/vmail/company/628: mode=0700 gid=default 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl vfile: file /srv/storage1/vmail/company/628/mailboxes/Drafts/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl vfile: file /srv/storage1/vmail/company/628/expunged/dovecot-acl not found 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: Namespace #EXPUNGED/: Using permissions from /srv/storage1/vmail/company/628: mode=0700 gid=default 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl vfile: file /srv/storage1/vmail/company/628/expunged/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl vfile: file /srv/storage1/vmail/company/628/expunged/INBOX/test/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Debug: acl vfile: reading file /srv/storage1/vmail/company/628/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Logged out in=178 out=870 2016-04-26T16:49:26+02:00 mailstore1 dovecot: imap(user(a)company.at): Logged out in=315 out=27172 regards, -- Harald Leithner ITronic Wiedner Hauptstraße 120/5.1, 1050 Wien, Austria Tel: +43-1-545 0 604 Mobil: +43-699-123 78 4 78 Mail: leithner(a)itronic.at | itronic.at

Automatic purging of old email in all mailboxes
by Scott W. Sander 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

I am using a postfix + Dovecot server as a test mail server for which some applications in our test environment use as a target to deliver email so that our real endusers don't receive messages from our test servers. A few of the mailboxes in Dovecot receive hundreds of emails per day. I'd like to automatically remove all emails in all mailboxes and mailbox folders that were received more than 90 days prior to the received date. As I'm a novice Dovecot administrator, I'm not exactly sure what the best way to accomplish this is, but I've started looking at the "doveadm expunge" command. I figure I could create a cron job that calls this command with the -A switch and that has a search query that finds all emails older than 90 days. I'm aware that I can test my query by using the "doveadm search" command. The problem is that when I do any sort of search query with that command (e.g. "doveadm search -A NEW"), I receive the following error messages: Error: User listing returned failure doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users I've searched for help with this error, but most of the guidance I'm seeing refers to making sure that dovecot-sql is configured correctly; however, I'm using "passwd-file" for the passdb and not a true database. Here is doveconf -n: ------- # 2.2.22 (fe789d2): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.13 (7b14904) # OS: Linux 4.4.0-34-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login hostname = mail.domain.test info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox "Deleted Items" { special_use = \Trash } mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox "Junk E-Mail" { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Items" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = scheme=PLAIN username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/dovecot-users driver = passwd-file } protocols = " imap lmtp pop3" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/appserver4_combined.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/appserver4_key.pem userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n driver = static } ------- Thank you in advance!

Sub addressing delimiters
by Kurt Fitzner 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Hello, There is a disconnect between the way Postfix handles recipient_delimiter and the way Dovecot handles it. For Postfix, it is a set of delimiters that can each individually be used to separate the address from the . In Dovecot, having multiple characters in recipient_delimiters simply makes it a multi-character single delimiter. For my purposes, the Postfix method is much more versatile. Extra delimiters can be added without breaking the way users currently have delimiters. I am wondering what the odds are of reconciling the two approaches, hopefully in favour of the Postfix one. Failing a switch to the other behaviour, is it possible to add the Postfix method as an option? Would a patch for either of these be accepted? Thanks, Kurt Fitzner
