by davide marchi 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hi, my problem is this: if i use lmtp for delivery and lookup for real_virtual_user(a)mydomain.com all function perfectly and mails are delivered correctly (quota and presence of user also) but if i send an email to real_alias_address(a)mydomain.com LMTP service (it's an alias containing several users) dosen't find user. How can i resolve this problem? for completeness my system users is based on vpopmail userdb

Session ID separator change
by Timo Sirainen 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

LMTP is a but troublesome in that a single LMTP session can do multiple RCPT TOs, so the same session will end up delivering mails to multiple different users. This is causing trouble with stats process, because each delivery is using the same session ID for multiple different users, which causes errors about session ID duplication in stats process. So we'll need to make the session IDs unique, while still keeping it clear enough that they're part of the same original LMTP session (which is also visible in th Received: headers). I'm now thinking that the first recipient's delivery will have the original normal session ID (e.g. "ME3ZHCi+A1dUDQAAvAUe3g"), while the following recipients will have :2, :3, etc suffix (e.g. "ME3ZHCi+A1dUDQAAvAUe3g:2"). If somebody cares about parsing the original session ID from logs, they can just cut off the session ID from the first ':' character (because indexer-worker also adds its own :suffix). So now I'm mainly wondering if ':' is a good character? Has somebody already changed mail_log_prefix in a way that these additional ':' chars might break their log parsers (e.g. mail_log_prefix=%u:%s%{session}:%r).

Unable to login with iPhone?
by Jason Pruim 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hey Everyone, So I have my dovecot install up and running! I can receive mail from the outside, still dealing with a small issue with sending email, but I think that's an issue off needing to setup a relay... Right now though... My biggest issue is it won't connect to my iPhone... I can login with mail on my computer, and through round cube for webmail... But it gets stuck on "verifying"... I tried addingcram-md5 and digest-md5 to the auth_mechanisms but that didn't work... Any idea what I'm missing? Here is my doveconf -n: [ec2-user@ip-172-31-28-46 postfix]$ doveconf -n # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.4.5-15.26.amzn1.x86_64 x86_64 ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 digest-md5 mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%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 ihave mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0666 user = vmail } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mailserver.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mailserver.pem ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" } [ec2-user@ip-172-31-28-46 postfix]$ If I try to telnet to port 993 from my local computer it connects, but won't let me login... Same on port 143... Any ideas? Thanks everyone for your help! I can't wait until I can actually help with the questions instead of just asking them!

dovecot squatter
by Gabriele Bulfon 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Hi, on cyrus installations we have the squatter utility that can index full message bodies and headers incrementally, allowing to run the squatter from time to time to arrange for index changes. Is there anything similar in Dovecot? This is expecially useful for full searches in body message. Thanks for any help Gabriele ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonicle S.r.l. : http://www.sonicle.com Music: http://www.gabrielebulfon.com Quantum Mechanics : http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/gabrielebulfon

New feature: HTTP API
by aki.tuomi＠dovecot.fi 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Hi all! We are bringing out HTTP API for doveadm-server in master HEAD. This feature is experimental, and can be expected to have bugs in it and might not always work. If you feel like trying it out though, you can enable it in your configuration file: doveadm_api_key = some-string service doveadm { inet_listener http { port = 8080 } } To use the API, you can go to http://host:8080/doveadm. GET request will print out possible commands, along with their parameters. If you have set API KEY, you need to include it in the request as X-API-Key header. This API has been designed to resemble JMAP API since we are planning to implement it in future version. The rule of thumb is that all the commands work as they would on cli, so the parameters are more or less the same. There are few exceptions, like 'field' parameter in some mail/mailbox commands. Commands are executed by POSTin JSON to /doveadm. The JSON format is [ ["command",{"parameter":"value"},"opaque identifier"], ["command",{"parameter":"value"},"opaque identifier"], ["command",{"parameter":"value"},"opaque identifier"], ... ] Be warned though that even if it supports multiple commands, some commands still use i_fatal to terminate the server if they are unhappy. This will mean you will lose the whole result set, and get no output, so at this point it is safest option to run only one command at a time. If you run into problems or discover issues, please report them in the usual manner to us. Kind regards, Aki Tuomi Dovecot Oy

Environment Variable Expansion
by Tim Evers 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

System: Debian Jessie I'm trying to put an environment variable in the sql config like: password_query = SELECT userid AS user, crypt AS password, maildir as userdb_home, 500 as userdb_uid, 500 as userdb_gid FROM local_account WHERE userid = '%u' and mbox_host = '%{env:CLUSTERNAME}' \ and ( ( imap_aktiv='1' and '%s'='imap' ) or ( pop_aktiv='1' and '%s'='pop3' ) or ( sieve_aktiv='1' and '%s'='sieve' ) ) \ and aktiv_abruf='1' My variable is %{env:CLUSTERNAME} CLUSTERNAME is set through /etc/default/dovecot. I tried setting the import_environment config variable to TZ CLUSTERNAME but that changed nothing. When I execute this through a login attempt, I see the following in the tcpflow output: SELECT userid AS user, crypt AS password, maildir as userdb_home, 508 as userdb_uid, 503 as userdb_gid FROM local_account WHERE userid = 'te' and mbox_host = 'env:CLUSTERNAME}' and ( ( imap_aktiv='1' and 'pop3'='imap' ) or ( pop_aktiv='1' and 'pop3'='pop3' ) or ( sieve_aktiv='1' and 'pop3'='sieve' ) ) and aktiv_abruf='1' So %{env:CLUSTERNAME} was parsed to env:CLUSTERNAME} which is not what the doc (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables) says, and it also seems like the parser somehow sees this as a short variable (removing %+{). Any hints what might be happening here / how I can make it work. Regards, Tim

Hi I am new to the mailing List, and was hoping to get some assistance migrating from an Old Cucipop + Sendmail server (running on a old Redhat v 7) to a new Dovecot setup.

How to make quota_status policy to apply to postfix virtual aliases as well?
by Hamy 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

HelloI am setting up a postfix+dovecot setup and using quota-status service to reject mails for full mailboxes on smtp session, according to this: https://sys4.de/en/blog/2013/04/08/postfix-dovecot-mailbox-quota/ This is working fine and without any apparent issues. however, Postfix doesn't seem to consult the policy when you're using virtual alias addresses. a virtual alias, is the one that you usually define with virtual_alias_maps . what happens is that Postfix only verifies there is a corresponding value for the given email address and blindly accept it. And it seems smtpd_recipient_restrictions , only applies to the original email address and postfix does not consult that after applying virtual alias. Does any one have any idea how to solve this? is there a setting that i'm missing? or is there a better way to setup email aliases that solve this issue? Best Regards,

Problem with GSSAPI
by Luca Bertoncello 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

Hi list! I'm really puzzled... I have a Mailserver with Dovecot 2.2.9 (installed from Ubuntu 14.04-Repositories) and it works well with LDAP-Authentication agains the Active Directory. Now I want to use GSSAPI to allow the clients (with Thunderbird 38.7.1) to read E-Mails without giving a password. I configured Dovecot using these HowTos: http://mindref.blogspot.de/2011/02/dovecot-kerberos.html http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Kerberos But it does not work... In mail.log I can just see: Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=2300) Apr 3 09:52:26 mail dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.50.54, lip=192.168.50.3, session=<x8Sq5I8vsADAqDI2> and Thunderbird says that the Ticket was not accepted and I have to check if I'm logged into the Kerberos/GSSAPI subsystem. I checked with tcpdump and I see that Thunderbird does NOT send at all any request. Could someone help me? Thanks a lot! Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

Found 4 bugs in latest SquirrelMail related to IMAP and SMTP STARTTLS, Dovecot capabilities
by Tobias 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

This is a cross-post from the squirrelmail-devel list. It may be of interest if you want to run SquirrelMail and connect to Dovecot (and Postfix, possibly other servers) on a remote host using STARTTLS. BR Tobias -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [SM-DEVEL] 4 bugs, IMAP and SMTP STARTTLS, Dovecot capabilities Date: Sun, 3 Apr 2016 04:27:56 +0200 From: Tobias <lists.zxinn(a)otaking.se> Reply-To: Squirrelmail Developers Mailing List <squirrelmail-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> To: squirrelmail-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Hello! I've looked for and have not seen any similar issues reported related to STARTTLS. Sourceforge wouldn't let me create an account or else I could have submitted bug reports directly. I'm using SquirrelMail 1.4.23 installed from latest FreeBSD Ports, together with PHP 5.6. I'm attempting to connect using STARTTLS to Dovecot 2.2.22 and Postfix 3.1.0. I've verified the code is not fixed for any of these four issues in the latest 1.5.2 SVN. Issue 2 is not as much of a problem in 1.5.2 as it is in 1.4.23 when using 'login' authentication. I connect to the IMAP and SMTP servers using their IP, but need to override the 'peer_name' to validate the certificate properly. New in PHP 5.6 is also that verify_peer defaults to TRUE, which means I need to either be able to set the peer_name, or disable verify_peer. I've found three issues in functions/imap_general.php, related to STARTTLS and Dovecot IMAP server, as well as one STARTTLS issue in class/deliver/Deliver_SMTP.class.php, class class Deliver_SMTP, function initStream. Issue 1: Stream options ($imap_stream_options) are not used with STARTTLS ($use_imap_tls = 2) in function sqimap_create_stream. The stream options are only used for $use_imap_tls = 1. How to fix: Add something like this: // set context options to allow for SSL option overrides @stream_context_set_option($imap_stream,$stream_options); Before trying to initiate the TLS session here: functions/imap_general.php :: function sqimap_create_stream 826: // start crypto on connection. suppress function errors. 827: if (@stream_socket_enable_crypto($imap_stream,true,STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLS_CLIENT)) { Issue 2: IMAP capabilities are only read once in function sqimap_create_stream (and subsequently used in sqimap_login to determine certain login options), however the capability list for Dovecot is not the same before and after STARTTLS. From Dovecot, before STARTTLS (telnet <local-ip> 143): * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED] Dovecot ready. From Dovecot, after successful STARTTLS (openssl s_client -starttls imap -connect <local-ip>:143): <SSL session info> --- . OK Pre-login capabilities listed, post-login capabilities have more. a capability * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN a OK Pre-login capabilities listed, post-login capabilities have more. How to fix: Issue "capability" command after successful STARTTLS to re-read the capabilities. Either as part of function sqimap_create_stream, or after call to sqimap_create_stream and before login options are checked in function sqimap_login. SquirrelMail 1.4.23 uses the return value with capabilities from function sqimap_create_stream to determine if 'login' is a viable option. Dovecot reports LOGINDISABLED prior to STARTTLS. (1.5.2 does not have this check for 'login'.) Issue 3: Multi-line response from the server to the AUTHENTICATE PLAIN (and likely cram/digest md5, possibly even login) are not accepted. The IMAP protocol allows the server to prefix responses which are incomplete with "*", and Dovecot uses this to report capabilities after successful login, but this is not handled by SquirrelMail's sqimap_login function. SquirrelMail reports: Unknown error: IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SEARCH=FUZZY SPECIAL-USE QUOTA The full output from Dovecot is: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SEARCH=FUZZY SPECIAL-USE QUOTA A003 OK Logged in How to fix: Check if '*' is the first token in a response, and read another line from the stream.

02 Apr '16

Hi list! I have a Server connected to an AD and I need to configure Dovecot to authenticate the users against the AD (with password and GSSAPI). Now I'm trying to connect Dovecot to the AD with password. The authentication works, but I always got this error: Apr 2 13:03:49 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<lucabert>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.50.1, lip=192.168.50.3, mpid=3508, session=<ZWJDc34vDgDAqDIB> Apr 2 13:03:49 mail dovecot: pop3(lucabert): Error: stat(/var/spool/mail/lucabert/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=10001(lucabert) egid=10000(domain users) missing +x perm: /var/spool/mail/lucabert, dir owned by 1005:8 mode=0700) Apr 2 13:03:49 mail dovecot: pop3(lucabert): Error: Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred.

SIS deduplication fails to create intermediate directories and funny permissions
by Jesus Cea 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

I have configured my system to use SIS, sharing the same same storage for all users, and offline deduplication. I have this in my "root" cron: """ 53 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/doveadm purge -A 16 * * * * /usr/local/bin/doveadm sis deduplicate /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/queue """ Yes, it is launched as "root" but I would expect doveadm drop privileges as soon as possible. This is working great, but from time to time I get this error message: """ Your "cron" job on babylon5 /usr/local/bin/doveadm sis deduplicate /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments /home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/queue produced the following output: Error: mkdir(/home/dovecot/buzones/attachments/dc/62/hashes) failed: No such file or directory """ Looks like doveadm is trying to create the "hashes" directory but the parent "62" doesn't exits yet. If I create that directory by hand and set permissions correctly, everything (seems to) work. Talking about this, I see something strange wit the permissions. All files and directories in SIS are created with "dovemail" user and group EXCEPT the "hashes" directory inside the newly created directory. That is: When I get the error message, I have this: """ drwx------ 7 dovemail dovemail 7 Apr 1 13:28 . drwx------ 237 dovemail dovemail 237 Mar 24 20:09 .. drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 1d drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Mar 9 01:53 7f drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 88 drwx------ 3 dovemail dovemail 3 Feb 29 02:30 8d """ I create the missing directory by hand and change permissions.

default namespace
by Nerijus Baliunas 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

Hello, With no namespace settings and dovecot 2.0.9 I get the following listing: a LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" a OK List completed. Then I add the namespaces: namespace inbox { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes subscriptions = yes } namespace compat { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = no hidden = yes list = no alias_for = } Then list output changes: a LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX" a OK List completed. INBOX now has \HasChildren, while before it had \HasNoChildren. How can I make it \HasNoChildren?

Multiple IMAP Mailboxes and one collection folder
by Dieter Knopf 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Hello, we use many IMAP folders and now we are searching for a way to display all mails inside this folders in one collecting folder. The advantage for us would be the possibility to view all new incoming mails in one folder. It would be possible to use the standard MAIL App on the iOS without problems. I could simply make a copy of all mails in one folder with Sieve, but then the Per-user Seen Flag would be useless, because the mail inside the folder is still unread. Is there a way to show some way of collecting folder for every user? Thanks Dieter

Dovecot plugin pthread issue
by qmail＠top-consulting.net 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

I am using FreeBSD 10.1 and Dovecot 2.2.22 with the Openchange plugin - https://github.com/openchange/openchange/tree/master/mapiproxy/services/plu… (https://github.com/openchange/openchange/tree/master/mapiproxy/services/plu…) The plugin compiles just fine and works up until when it tries to create a socket using nanomsg, which uses a pthread_create() call. At that point dovecot-lda just hangs indefinitely. I've read that -pthread must be included in all the components that might end up using it. So checking with ldd: nanomsg does include libthr ( pthread equivalent in FreeBSD ) openchange plugin also includes libthr dovecot-lda doesn't include libthr Would dovecot-lda also need to be compiled with -pthread ? Is it safe ? How can it be done ? Thank you!

Dovecot-LMTP and LDAP: passdb doesn't support credential lookups
by Niols 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Hello, Sorry, this might be a newbish question, but I really can't get the answer by myself. I'm trying to setup a mail server using LDAP to authenticate users, and I keep receiving the errors: passdb doesn't support credential lookups passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence when I send test mails to (existing) users. I'm already using the LDAP server for other purposes, and it's working fine. I can't (or I don't want to) give read access to the userPassword attribute, so I want to use a authentication bind: http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/AuthBinds I've already managed to have postfix working with this LDAP server, the users (and their aliases) are correctly recognized. Postfix then sends the mails to Dovecot (2.2.13, Debian Jessie's version) with dovecot-lmtp. Here is my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-ldap.conf.ext. I use the static driver for userdb, and the LDAP driver for passdb. passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } userdb { driver = static args = uid=mail gid=mail home=/var/mail/%u } Here is my /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext file. hosts = localhost ldap_version = 3 dn = cn=dovecot,ou=services,dc=niols,dc=fr dnpass = a-random-password auth_bind = yes base = ou=people,dc=niols,dc=fr pass_filter = (&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(mail=%u)) I haven't set the user_filter and user_attrs values, since I thought these would only be usefull for userdb. I haven't set the pass_attrs value, since I don't see why it would be needed (I just need to be able to bind my user, right?). I can't auth_bind_userdn since the e-mail address aren't necessarily related in any way to the user dn. I assumed %u was going to be replaced by the user's full e-mail address. I tried to play a bit with these values to find a working configuration, without success. I tried to search myself on the LDAP server, using the provided dn and dnpass, and I succeeded. I tried to activate debug logs, but that didn't give me much more information (full debug log at the end of this e-mail). I think the problem is that passdb cannot find the user on the LDAP server, but I don't know why. I believe the problem is lying in my non-comprehension of what userdb and passdb actually do. I tried to find out by myself, and I'm here because I didn't manage to do so. I'm sorry if this post looks stupid. Any help and any comments of any kind would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Niols PS: Here is the full debug log that I get after sending a test message to test(a)niols.net (.net vs. .fr: this is not a mistake, I use my .net domain for testing purposes while I use my .fr domain for eveyday life) with swaks: lmtp(3208): Connect from local auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat auth: Debug: LDAP initialization took 0 msecs auth: Debug: master in: USER 1 test(a)niols.net service=lmtp auth: Debug: ldap(test(a)niols.net): passdb doesn't support credential lookups auth: Error: static(test(a)niols.net): passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence auth: Debug: userdb out: FAIL 1 lmtp(3208): Error: user test(a)niols.net: Auth USER lookup failed lmtp(3208): Disconnect from local: Successful quit

Would be great if someone could please point me to alternative locations for authentic RPMs

talloc access after free error ntlmssp_server.c:457
by J Landwehr 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

Our new/fresh dovecot imap installation on CentOS (latest from yum repository, which is 2.2.10) is locking up with a panic on a consistent basis and denying service to subsequent clients. The behavior is repeatable. Have spent weeks debugging and trying different configurations with no success. Specific /var/log/maillog error messages are: 12:06:54 dovecot: auth: Error: talloc: access after free error - first free may be at ../auth/ntlmssp/ntlmssp_server.c:457 12:06:54 dovecot: auth: Error: Bad talloc magic value - access after free 12:06:54 dovecot: auth: Error: PANIC (pid 2570): Bad talloc magic value - access after free Our configuration is based on the instructions for NTLM authentication with our Windows 2012R2 AD/Domain server: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ActiveDirectoryNtlm <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ActiveDirectoryNtlm> Here are the steps to reproduce: 1. Fresh boot of CentOS server, only configured for postfix/dovecot 2. Connect with Outlook 2016 12.0.4312.1000 32bit on Win7 via IMAP to this dovecot server 3. Any existing and new mail loads in OK to inbox - so authentication is working OK to AD domain server 4. Send an email to someone from Outlook 5. SMTP process completes, message is delivered - 6. dovecot immediately panics on servers, Authentication to dovecot no longer works 7. <systemctl restart dovecot> will hang until a <kill -9> on the “dovecot/auth” PID is performed The issue is with steps 6/7 immediately after 4/5- and is intermittent. Steps 1-3 always work OK, as do 4-5. Further, inbound emails received on this server when no IMAP client is running are always received just fine and dovecot doesn’t hang. Sometimes I have to send a few email messages with steps 4/5 before the issue with 6/7 happens. If I tail -f /var/log/maillog on the server, I can usually determine when 6/7 will fail because there is a line or two with: "dovecot: map: Disconnected: logged out message” being shown, even though the Outlook client is still open. After I see that Outlook closed an IMAP session, even though outlook is still running, I can send a message from Outlook and after it appears in my inbox, dovecot panics/hangs immediately Authentication is otherwise working, e.g. test with: /usr/bin/ntlm_auth —username=alice occasionally takes several seconds to respond, but is usually immediate response is always NT_STATUS_OK: Success (0x0) (I welcome tips to make ntlm_auth always respond more quickly!) I have tried adding lines to smb.conf like: win bind cache time = 300 win bind offline login = true No success I have also looked further into the detailed debugging logs and there is: dovecot: auth: Error: Go user=[alice] domain=[OFFICE] workstation=[pc1] len1=24 len2=290 dovecot: auth: error: login for user [OFFICE]\[alice]@[pc1] failed due to [Wrong Password] dovecot: auth: Error: GENSEC login failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE dovecot: auth: winbind(?,x.x.x.x,<XXX>): user not authetnicated: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE But I am not sure why there would be that error, since earlier IMAP sessions are working just fine with the same exact domain/username and password. It seems to be something about Outlook quickly opening up new simultaneous IMAP sessions with a CONT command, and NTLM authentication somehow fails with one of them, and panics. It always seems to be when sending an email. Like the process of either receiving a new msg in the inbox and/or also posting the just sent message into the Sent Items folder via IMAP (perhaps when it happens simultaneously, as in a message you cc yourself on) is somehow triggering this. Here is more detailed information that can hopefully help track this down.

Dumb question: dovecot include file
by Jerry 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Dovecot has an include file option. What I am not sure of is why those files use both a *.conf and *.conf.ext extension. I assume both types are included by using the !include <FILE>.conf or !include <FILE>.conf.ext syntax. -- Jerry

mailbox prefix
by michael crane 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

dovecot version 2.2.13 hello, I try to make a new server just for me after having old one working for ages with Dovecot, Fetchmail, Squirrelmail, Procmail making new one with above plus Postfix using Maildir structure. I am having a bit of trouble understanding exactly what the namespace and prefix are. Is the "private/" prefix an internal thing with Dovecot ? Or is it supposed to be a real directory ? I'm not quite sure how to properly address the INBOX in Procmail, Squirrelmail, Postfix config. for example am I supposed to say inbox is ".private/.INBOX" cheers zemlik

Migrating to dovecot from gmail apps
by Phil Lello 28 Mar '16

28 Mar '16

Hi, I'm considering migrating away from gmail for my (one-man) company, and I'm trying to decide if dovecot is the right option (I'm committed to self-hosting). I'm a developer, so happy to do my own tooling if needed. *Is there currently a good webmail interface to dovecot, or work-in progress?* If not, would a web interface be out-of-scope for dovecot? I want to use SAML for authentication, so a solution that relies on POP/IMAP doesn't meet my needs - unless I add Kerberos into the mix, which is an additional learning curve, and possibly not widely supported. *Is there currently a good web admin interface to dovecot, or work-in-progress?* If not, would a web interface be out-of-scope? Since I prefer using password-protected SSH keys for shell access, and don't want to tie myself to a laptop (and would hate to use vim on a 3G/4G tablet), I'd like to be able to add/remove aliases and play with SIEVE and ACLs through any available browser. *How's the work on sharing messages between folders progressing?* Finally, and I hope you don't mind me asking, are you aware of a good JAVA based alternative to dovecot? I quite like the idea of using lucene indexing on mailboxes, so reducing the number of dependencies has a certain appeal. Best wishes, Phil Lello

Hello, Sorry if I am off topic a little. I am looking for an email host provider that supports dovecot, sieve and manage sieve. Ideally with the roundcube webmail and managesieve plugin Better if it is in Europe or switzerland. I don't mind paying a little. Thanks, André.

Enabling tcpwrappers
by kepa 27 Mar '16

27 Mar '16

Hi all, I would like use Dovecot with tcpwrappers enabled to control remote access using hosts.deny and hosts.allow. A google search gave this response from the listserve, but it is several years ago: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-April/089455.html Are these instructions for configuring the conf files still valid? Mainly: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf login_access_sockets = tcpwrap conf.d/10-master.conf: service tcpwrap { unix_listener login/tcpwrap { group = $default_login_user mode = 0600 user = $default_login_user } } Also: Which version of Dovecot at least is needed to enable tcpwrappers? Does the tcpwrap option need to be enabled during configure and build or is it already (and enabled in any distro binary repositories)? And is it dovecot, imap, or imaps in the hosts.allow/deny file as the service name? Thanks! Kepa

However, I cannot afford that because it took me at least 3 months to setup dovecot correctly with postfix to use virtual users. I don't have the time to spend another 3 months to set it up. The problem lies with auth and I think this is the only issue and it has to be that something is missing either in the configs or a file was deleted or link to it was broken.

Re: IMAP Idle

Hmm. I can't think of why dovecot wouldn't time out. I think maybe the problem is with your webmail system -- it's not detecting when a client connection goes away and releasing all the resources associated with that user. This is not a typical problem though -- most webmail software do not keep persistent IMAP connections open during a session unless they use some IMAP proxy. Are your IMAP connections connected to the webmail server or an IMAP proxy, and is that connection active (despite webmail user disappearing)? Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Need help solving issue

Hi, I am using Dovecot 2.2.18 and have migrated from a 1.x versions. After this migration I had several errors and obsolete errors in logs. I fixed them and after all that I finally was able to run postfix and dovecot again. The problem I have facing right now is that in the mail logs and in the dovecot logs. I am getting auth errors. In mail log the postfix is spitting out: " fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms" Dovecot is spitting this out "imap-login : Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 0 secs): ,user<>, the shows client ip, my server ip and then the 0 seconds connection etc. Error: auth: environment corrupt; missing value for DOVECOT_" That is what it spits out. I asked for help and many threads.I am using freebsd 10.2. I do use mysql for database. I need someone to explain what the error means and how I can fix it? Thank you for your time!

Since then, I have run dozens of traces to isolate the problem, difficult because there are timing issues involved. I have finally nailed it down. If this is not the proper place to report such bugs or if someone knows that this bug has been fixed, please let me know. As I noted in my earlier post, we have been running Dovecot 2.2.10 with a pair of CentOS 7 boxes with replications for the past year.

After running a pile of traces, I determined that the problem was strangely related to replications. For the purposes of this discussion, I will refer to the two symmetric replicating servers as A and B. Further, let us assume that during "normal" operation, all the emails are delivered to A via SMTP and are replicated to B. Under those assumptions, if the IMAP user connects to A (where the messages were originally delivered), there is no problem, at least no problem I was able to find. The problem I am describing only arises if the IMAP user connects to B. Connecting to B has never presented any other problems that I am aware of. >> > >> >The test for which I have provided the trace starts with a test mailbox containing only 3 unread messages in the INBOX. Moving 1 of the unread messages to Trash is all that is needed to reproduce the problem. Remember this is ONLY a problem if the IMAP sessions do not connect to the server to which the messages were originally delivered. Also, I found that there is a timing window. The critical IMAP commands are: >> > >> > UID STORE xxx +FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen) >> > UID MOVE xxx Trash >> > >> >If you introduce a large enough delay (I arbitrarily chose 5 seconds) between those two commands, there is no problem.

Would be a good idea to try anyway with v2.2.22.rc1 (which seems to be stable enough that I'll make v2.2.22 release soon). > > Anyway, I attempted a few times to reproduce it with your test but wasn't able to. I was out when you were kind enough to reply. To answer your question, we are using Maildir format. The trace I provided was based upon IMAP interactions with Roundcube (though the problem was reproducable with several mail clients). I left in a few more steps to make the trace look less contrived. However, I reduced it further to just a couple of connection sessions. What I found in that exercise that was not apparent to me in my prior posting was that the "STATUS INBOX" command that ultimately reveals the problem (it shows the message reappearing) only becomes "wrong" when it is done in a subsequent session. That is, even if I inject an artificially large delay after the "UID STORE" / "UID MOVE" commands before the "STATUS INBOX" command in the same session, that result is never "wrong". But, as soon as I open a subsequent IMAP session, the "STATUS INBOX" command then shows the problematic results. I have never dug into the Dovecot code base, but I assume this relates to how the session data is cached and how the replications update it. None of this is relevant if the problem has already been fixed, so I will endeavor to set up a couple of test boxes with the current version to verify. The link you provided does look quite hopeful. Thanks so much.

I had much the same situation where a user signed up with a roaming wireless carrier that assigned a new IP to the client whenever it got passed from one access point to another. Good fun when this person took a bus ride through the city, leaving orphaned connections in its wake. The IDLE disconnection timeout is hardwired in the Dovecot code http://wiki.dovecot.org/Timeouts It's set to the RFC minimum of 30min. You'll have to recompile Dovecot to lower this to a non-RFC compliant value. I'm not sure how this this will affect clients, but 30min seems to be overly generous. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

NetApp NFS vs. ZFS and NFS for Maildir
by Alessio Cecchi 26 Mar '16

26 Mar '16

Hi, I'm evaluating to switch from NetApp to a ZFS appliance (like Qsan). Our setup is Dovecot, Maildir for email storage and NFS to share mailboxes (more than 30k users) across POP/IMAP and MX servers. NetApp NFS works fine also under high load but have some limitation for inode numbers per Volume and is expensive (but recently their prices have dropped). ZFS, I read, suggest to create many small Raid Group to increase IOPS, but this configuration (N Raid instead of one RAID-DP like NetApp) is more complex to manage, or not? Someone has experiences with ZFS and NFS(v3) in high load environments? Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

State for dsync not working.
by Simon Pierre Desrosiers 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hello, Since replication does not seem to work on Mac OSX, I will run doveadm sync by hand every few minutes. In order to improve efficiency, I would like to use state. I have tried a few ways, but I always get the following error doveadm(user): Error: Saved sync state is invalid, falling back to full sync: Invalid base64 data KBtMOd0181bQ/wAAoQsxE90181YBAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABtI+mg= Here is the code I use to sync : for user in $userlist ; do doveadm sync -u $user -s "/Users/_dovecot/.bin/syncStates/syncstate$user" tcp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > "/Users/_dovecot/.bin/syncStates/syncstate$user" done Any idea on how I can correct the encoding error ? Thank you

IMAP Idle
by Joy 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Hi guys, We have implement imap idle in web mail built by us to have push mail feature. IMAP idle working perfectly with browser notification and we are happy with it but having one issue with users who close the browser directly and never logout in that case there are number of idle connection which are not in use and users are unable to login once IP wise connection limit is reached. Dovecot is not closing connection which are not in use, is there any setting available which can help me to resolve this issue.

Trouble handling encrypted passwords
by Dan Wilson 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

I am running into trouble when I try to use encrypted passwords. I set my dovecot 2.2.10-5 installation back to plain text passwords and was then able to login and retrieve emails. When I set the default_pass_scheme to MD5-CRYPT in my sql config file, and store an MD5-CRYPT password in the sql database, I invariably get password mismatch errors on login: Mar 24 19:40:30 server1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0113#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011session=25HcztQuwQBHCDBi#011lip=xx.x.xx.xxx#011rip=71.8.48.98#011lport=993#011rport=60609#011resp=<hidden> Mar 24 19:40:34 server1 dovecot: auth-worker(9443): Debug: sql(test1(a)xxxxxx.com,xx.x.xx.xx): query: SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='test1(a)xxxxxx.com'; Mar 24 19:40:34 server1 dovecot: auth-worker(9443): sql(test1(a)xxxxxx,xx.x.xx.xx): Password mismatch Mar 24 19:40:36 server1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL#0113#011user=test1(a)xxxxxx.com The password in the database was created using doveadm pw command and is stored as: {MD5-CRYPT}$1$5QAeG70c$dP8y7XJVd.VxZBF/DvcAa0 I tried removing the {MD5-CRYPT} from the password string, but that didn't help.

Replication issues master <-> master nfs backend
by William L. Thomson Jr. 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

I keep having some replication issues and not sure what can be done to resolve or correct. It does not seem to happen all the time, though for the last ~30 or so minutes and many messages seems to be happening consistent for me. I have 2 mail servers, basically clones, and thus master master replication. Most of the time things work fine. But many times an email or several will arrive on one, and never replicate to the other. I am not as concerned on the never replicating, as I am that the user never gets notified. Mail arrives on say server 1, users are checking mail on server 2, and they never see the email on server 2. This is not always the case, but its happening enough daily. I then log into one and run sync manually. Which usually syncs the mail on both servers, and then it arrives in the inbox. Here is an example, mail is on mail2, but not mail1. I am checking email on mail1 so I am not seeing the 1 email. Mail1 /home/wlt-ml/.maildir/new: total 0 Mail2 /home/wlt-ml/.maildir/new: total 12 -rw------- 1 wlt-ml site1 8502 Mar 22 14:57 1458673024.7643.mail2 Then I manually log into mail2 and run this command, though usually I can run it from either side, and just change the name to the other server. doveadm sync -u "*" remote:mail1 And then I end up with the missing email on mail1, and it arrives in my email client shortly there after Mail1 /home/wlt-ml/.maildir/new: total 12 -rw------- 1 wlt-ml site1 8502 Mar 22 14:57 1458673051.M838843P26735.mail1,S=8502,W=8678:2,T I have no idea why it does this. It seems to happen when when a full sync has taken place per doveadm replicator status wlt-ml. There does not seem to be any settings to force a full vs fast sync more often. No clue if this is even a full vs fast issue or other. I think it tends to happen more when people stay connected to the imap server. I had a theory that closing the email client and opening it again will get dovecot to sync. I believe this is still the case, but not able to confirm 100%. Also users are reporting closing Thunderbird. I can see them logging out and back in in the logs, but email does not replicate or show till I run doveadm sync manually. Tempted to have cron invoke that on the regular, but seems very hackish and likely will have its own issues doing that. Since its not the right way or how things were designed. Not sure if this is a bug or what. Hopefully miss-configuration on my end. Open to any feedback, advice, etc. I can provide replicator configuration but its pretty straight forward and mostly copy/paste from the replication page. Replication works, just seems it is not triggered to replicate at times or something. dovecot --version 2.2.22 (fe789d2) -- William L.

Allowing for multiple recipient_delimiter characters?
by Aaron Lindsay 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

Postfix allows the recipient_delimiter configuration parameter to contain multiple characters, splitting on the first such character it encounters. For example, if using 'recipient_delimiter=+-' both aaron+foo(a)example.com and aaron-bar(a)example.com would be delivered to aaron(a)example.com. Is anyone opposed to changing dovecot's handling of recipient_delimiter so that it's the same as that of postfix? If not, I am willing to rebase/merge/address review comments on Lennart Weller's patch[1] to get this functionality upstream. While I think aligning with postfix' behaviour would be convenient for those of us who run a server using both dovecot and postfix, would this break any other common use cases I'm not aware of? Thanks! -Aaron [1] - http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-February/099660.html (I've talked with Lennart off-list, and he's OK with me working to get his patch merged, as long as I attribute his work to him, but doesn't have the time to work on it himself right now)

protocols.d/ dir empty?
by Kieran 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

(I hope I'm doing this right) Hey there. I have a problem with the dovecot protocols. When I do /telnet 127.0.0.1 143/ it gives me a connection refused error. I looked in the wiki and then after trying /doveconf protocols listen /I realized that I don't have any protocols.//I went in //usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/ and it's empty. How can I fix that?

multiple imapc settings in different namespaces
by abi＠oleane.net 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

hello all i assume this question must have already been asked, but i'm looking for a way to circumvent which might work specifically on my system. the version can be any available version between 2.2.9 and 2.2.22 (i'm testing with both of the above and no other ) i'm using imapc in 2 different namespaces. in both cases, the imapc_host is local, and a custom passdb program is expected to handle proxying to different servers. one of the case should proxy to a different legacy platform, and the other is used for shared mailboxes. is there any way at all to be able to tell which is which in passdb ? i don't care about the password, i can use a login prefix or suffix, different ports, different master passwords, ssl, maybe a different protocol name or auth method... somehow i've seen in the source code there is a namespace "owner" but did not manage to change this parameter. i guess it is used internally. anything else ? thanks a lot for any help you can provide best regards @abi

sieve - editheader - edit in place
by Hajo Locke 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

Hello, i do some tests with sieve editheader extensions. deleteheader and addheader are working, but i noticed that new headerlines are always prepended to current header. So new lines can be found always on top. I am looking for a possibility to edit a headerline in place, without moving the new line to top of stack(replaceheader?). It is not looking good if a Subject-Line suddenly moves to top of header. Is there a possibility for me? Thanks, Hajo

doveadm sync/backup doesn't sync the metadata?
by Heiko Schlittermann 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hello, in a current migration project we want to migrate from Cyrus to Dovecot. The Cyrus server stores expiry information as ANNOTATIONS. On the Dovecot side I've set up the metadata/annotations plugin and it is working. But 'dovecot backup …' doesn't seem to sync these metadata? Did I miss something here? Shouldn't the metadata be part of the backup? (I'm using the latest 2.2.22 for sync purposes, as the stock dovecot just crashed when used as 'doveadm backup …') Best regards from Dresden/Germany Viele Grüße aus Dresden Heiko Schlittermann -- SCHLITTERMANN.de ---------------------------- internet & unix support - Heiko Schlittermann, Dipl.-Ing.

Understand the UID value in mailbox debug
by Tobi 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Hi list we have a client who complains that mails from a certain sender are always put into his spamfolder. Our strong guess is that this is an issue with the webmail (Roundcube), but I need some help in understanding the output from dovecot's mailbox-debug. In order to narrow down the source of the problem we activated the mailbox-debug from Dovecot. Now we can see that the mail is moved into the spamfolder. But the strange thing is that a UID is logged which does not exist on the mailserver The following log is the "move" of the mail into the spamfolder Mar 19 11:53:57 backend3 dovecot: imap(REMOVED_FOR_PRIVACY): OmQLrmQubgDAqDIW copy from INBOX: box=INBOX.Spam, uid=58, msgid=<000601d181cd$71401940$53c04bc0$(a)bluewin.ch>, size=314585 Mar 19 11:53:57 backend3 dovecot: imap(REMOVED_FOR_PRIVACY): OmQLrmQubgDAqDIW delete: box=INBOX, uid=1614, msgid=<000601d181cd$71401940$53c04bc0$(a)bluewin.ch>, size=314585 Mar 19 11:53:57 backend3 dovecot: imapREMOVED_FOR_PRIVACY): OmQLrmQubgDAqDIW expunge: box=INBOX, uid=1614, msgid=<000601d181cd$71401940$53c04bc0$(a)bluewin.ch>, size=314585 I do not understand whose UID this is, as it does not exist on the server. Does dovecot create temporary UID or something like that? Or is it more a process ID? Thanks and regards tobi

Re: Setting up public mailboxes - user not found
by Marti Markov 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

Hey, I actually went with the method suggested by Steffen Kaiser of creating a separate userdb because I use LDAP and I have an OU which contains all the public mailboxes and was just easier. I setup the userdb like so: userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-shared_mailboxes.conf.ext driver = ldap override_fields = mail=maildir:/home/vmail/Public/.%n } Now when I send an email to office3(a)xxx.com I don’t get any errors and it delivers the message to the office3(a)xxx.com: root@mail:~# ls /home/vmail/Public/.office3/new/ 1458427035.M781836P21781.mail.xxx.com,S=2571,W=2630 1458427705.M750112P23338.mail.xxx.com,S=2501,W=2559 But from any mail client I try I don’t seem to be able to list anything in the Public directory.

Some of them caught actual hangs or otherwise unwanted behavior towards IMAP clients. - Expunges were forgotten in some situations, for example when pipelining multiple IMAP MOVE commands. - quota: Per-namespaces quota were broken for dict and count backends in v2.2.20+ - fts-solr: Search queries were using OR instead of AND as the separator for multi-token search queries in v2.2.20+. - Single instance storage support wasn't really working in v2.2.16+ - dbox: POP3 message ordering wasn't working correctly. - virtual plugin: Fixed crashes related to backend mailbox deletions.

TLS handshake issue
by John Oliver 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

dovecot-2.0.9 on CentOS 6.7 The system in question is not connected to the Internet, so I can't copy-and-paste. I have to type anything required :-( Brand-new out-of-the-box install with a really minimal dovecot.conf including: service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { address = 192.168.1.10 port = 143 ssl = yes } } ssl_cert=</etc/pki/tls/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL ssl_key =</etc/pki/tls/private/dovecot.pem That's very, very similar to an existing dovecot server on an old VM I need to replace. Certs are self-signed, I know that's a horrible thing to do, but right now we don't have any choice. I'm connecting with Apple Mail 8.2 running on OS X 10.10.5, another thing we have no choice about :-/ The Apple Mail just sits there stupidly. It's "Connection Doctor" just helpfully reports that it can't establish a connection. I can use 'openssl s_client -showcerts -connect mail:143' and see what I expect to see. The dovecot log with lots of verbosity enabled tells me: imap-login: Info: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=192.168.1.200, lip=192.168.1.10, TLS handshaking: Disconnected auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=21006) imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before/accept initialization [192.168.1.200] imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before/accept initialization [192.168.1.200] imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=1: SSLv2/v3 read client hello A [192.168.1.200] And that's it... those lines get repeated every minute that Mail is running. I'm not seeing anything in any logs that even hints at what it's unhappy about, or any way to increase verbosity any more. Any hints appreciated! -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * ***********************************************************************

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.13 for Dovecot v2.2.22.
by Stephan Bosch 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final v0.4.13 release of Pigeonhole for Dovecot v2.2.22. Nothing changed since the RC. Changelog v0.4.13: * redirect action: Added the list-id header to the duplicate ID for mail loop prevention. This means that the message sent directly to the user and the message coming through the mailing list itself are treated as different messages by the loop detection of the redirect command, even though their Message-ID may be identical. * Changed the Sieve number type to uint64_t, which means that Sieve numbers can now technically range up to 2^64. Some other Sieve implementation allowed this, making this change necessary for successful migration. + Implemented the sieve_implicit_extensions setting. The extensions listed in this setting do not need to be enabled explicitly using the Sieve "require" command. This behavior directkly violates the standard, but can be necessary for compatibility with some existing implementations of Sieve. Do not use this setting unless you really need to! - redirect action: Made mail loop detection more robust by forcibly adding a Message-ID header if it is missing. - Prevent logging a useless "script not found" error message for LDAP scripts for which the entry exists but no attribute containing a script. This is not necessarily an error. - extprograms plugin: Changed the communication channel between parent and child process for a directly forked program from a socketpair to a double pipe. Linux does not support /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout and friends for sockets. For some shell program authors this may be confusing, so that is why it is changed. When using the script service, these device nodes are still not usable though. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Trouble getting vnd.dovecot.filter and filter visible/usable...
by Tolbert, Joshua P 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hello, I’m trying to make vnd.dovecot.filter available both globally and for users through sieve, but I haven’t had much luck getting things to work right. Sieve scripts won’t validate and vnd.dovecot.filter never shows up in the managesieve capability list. I’ve spent lots of time looking for where problems could be, but I’m out of ideas…So I’m asking you guys. In the protocol lmtp section, I’m defining mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve, however I’ve tried it without $mail_plugins too…No luck that way either. Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks! Cheers, Josh

Looking for way to monitor dsync, confirm it is or isn't running
by Rich Wales 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

I am syncing two Dovecot sites using the dsync function. I would like to be able to run some sort of periodic health check to confirm that dsync is (or is not) running properly between the two sites, and alert me if dsync is failing or lagging excessively. Does anyone know of a tool to do this? (If possible, something I can set up to run periodically in Nagios?) Thanks for any suggestions. Rich Wales richw(a)richw.org

Xi has a new home
by Stephan Bosch 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Hi, The automatic package builder Xi has moved to system within the Dovecot infrastructure. This also means that the repositories are available at a new host name: xi.dovecot.fi. The old host name still works and is a CNAME pointing to the new venue. I expect the old domain to be active for years to come. So, there is no need to update your /etc/apt/sources.list right away. Still, it is a good idea to do so. I've updated the wiki accordingly. Regards, Stephan.

Re: spamc during dovecot-smtp delivery?

[cc'ing the list for posterity] also sprach Tolbert, Joshua P <jtolbert(a)illinois.edu> [2016-03-16 21:46 +0100]: > I’ve been working on a Postfix/Dovecot/sieve mail server migration > (from Sendmail/Dovecot/procmail) and ran in to a similar problem > to one you talked about a while ago on the dovecot mailing lists. > Did you ever find a good solution for running spamc as the > destination user in sieve? If you did, mind sharing? Thanks! I've never had a problem again since upgrading to Debian jessie, but I also think that the problem's solution was installing a NSS cache, because the deadlocks seemed to take place between Spamassassin and libnss-pgsql2. Transport from Postfix to Dovecot is lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp (no idea how to do that with Sendmail or why you'd want to use Sendmail) and then Dovecot's sieve is configured to run a filter using /etc/dovecot/sieve.before.d: require [ "vnd.dovecot.filter"]; filter "spamc" [ "--no-safe-fallback" ]; which is enabled in conf.d/90-sieve.conf with sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve.before.d sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.filter sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms and in conf.d/90-sieve-extprograms.conf sieve_filter_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-filter and then I made a simple symlink from /etc/dovecot/sieve-filter → /usr/bin/spamc Spamassassin starts with --create-prefs --helper-home-dir --allow-tell and the final step is to integrate the mail user database (vmm in my case) with libnss to provide spamassassin with a way to identify home directories. I use libnss-pgsql2. The /etc/nss-pgsql.conf file I use is available here: http://bugs.debian.org/818465 A successful delivery then looks like this: postfix/smtpd[29778]: connect from mail1.smtp.mailserver4.de[62.216.179.241] postfix/smtpd[29778]: 6D2F74024E: client=mail1.smtp.mailserver4.de[62.216.179.241] postfix/cleanup[32593]: 6D2F74024E: message-id=<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> postfix/smtpd[29778]: disconnect from mail1.smtp.mailserver4.de[62.216.179.241] dovecot: lmtp(3570): Connect from local spamd[2140]: spamd: connection from localhost [::1]:57032 to port 783, fd 6 spamd[2140]: spamd: setuid to xxxxxxx%yyyyyyyyyy.zz succeeded spamd[2140]: spamd: processing message <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for xxxxxxx%yyyyyyyy.zz:70032 spamd[2140]: spamd: clean message (-1.9/5.0) for xxxxxxx%yyyyyyyy.zz:70032 in 3.0 seconds, 10222 bytes. spamd[2140]: spamd: result: . -1 - BAYES_00,DKIM_SIGNED,DKIM_VALID,HEADER_FROM_DIFFERENT_DOMAINS,HTML_MESSAGE,RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE scantime=3.0,size=10222,user=xxxxxxx%yyyyyyyy.zz,uid=70032,required_score=5.0,rhost=localhost,raddr=::1,rport=57032,mid=<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,bayes=0.000000,autolearn=ham autolearn_force=no dovecot: lmtp(3570, xxxxxxx(a)yyyyyyyy.zz) copy from (file): box=INBOX, uid=30613, msgid=<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, size=10945 dovecot: lmtp(3570, xxxxxxx(a)yyyyyyyy.zz) QLZ6IoJ/6lbyDQAARsnb6w: sieve: msgid=<xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' postfix/lmtp[3569]: 6D2F74024E: to=<xxxxxxx(a)yyyyyyyy.zz>, orig_to=<aaaaaa(a)bbbbbbb.zz>, relay=ambassador.madduck.net[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=5, delays=2/0.02/0.01/3, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 <xxxxxxx(a)yyyyyyyy.zz> QLZ6IoJ/6lbyDQAARsnb6w Saved) dovecot: lmtp(3570): Disconnect from local: Successful quit Hope this helps… -- @martinkrafft | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "the public is wonderfully tolerant. it forgives everything except genius." -- oscar wilde spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net

Plugin "last-login" - Log SMTP-AUTH information
by Benjamin Hück 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hello all, we are using the Plugin "last-login" [1] to update user's last-login timestamp or the timestamp of the last incoming message in a MySQL backend. Would it be possible to expand the plugin to also log the timestamp of the last smtp-auth attempt/successful process? Currently in our settings, a smtp-auth request (port 587) is forwarded by postfix to a dovecot backend server for authentication. I couldn`t find out the developer of the plugin otherwise I had contact them immediatly.

New dovecot user needs installation help
by Jason Pruim 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Hey Everyone, So I just setup my first dovecot install with postfix running for the mail server… I can telnet into my dovecot install and login just fine with my user locally… But when I try to add the account from my phone, computer, or telnetting from my local computer, it just hangs and eventually kicks back a generic error saying it can’t be added… Where can I start looking? I’m hosted with amazon web services and I’m waiting on them to approve my request to white list my IP on my instance, but that should only restrict my ability to send email out on port 25… I should still be able to operate locally… According to the firewall on amazon port 143 and 993 are both allowed from any IP address into the server (All outbound traffic is currently open until I get it working) I’m thinking it’s something easy, and I can handle pointers! I don’t necessarily need my hand held the entire way… At least not yet… Here is the output of my dovecot -n: [ec2-user@ip-172-31-22-222 log]$ dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.14.48-33.39.amzn1.x86_64 x86_64 mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } [ec2-user@ip-172-31-22-222 log]$ Let me know if there is anything else you need, or where to go from here!

Reappearing emails - IMAP trace
by Ron Cleven 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

A few days back, I sent an overview of this problem, but received no responses. Since then, I have run dozens of traces to isolate the problem, difficult because there are timing issues involved. I have finally nailed it down. If this is not the proper place to report such bugs or if someone knows that this bug has been fixed, please let me know. As I noted in my earlier post, we have been running Dovecot 2.2.10 with a pair of CentOS 7 boxes with replications for the past year. We have been quite happy with the performance and reliability. Recently we received a report that emails could reappear in the INBOX after being deleted. After running a pile of traces, I determined that the problem was strangely related to replications. For the purposes of this discussion, I will refer to the two symmetric replicating servers as A and B. Further, let us assume that during "normal" operation, all the emails are delivered to A via SMTP and are replicated to B. Under those assumptions, if the IMAP user connects to A (where the messages were originally delivered), there is no problem, at least no problem I was able to find. The problem I am describing only arises if the IMAP user connects to B. Connecting to B has never presented any other problems that I am aware of. The test for which I have provided the trace starts with a test mailbox containing only 3 unread messages in the INBOX. Moving 1 of the unread messages to Trash is all that is needed to reproduce the problem. Remember this is ONLY a problem if the IMAP sessions do not connect to the server to which the messages were originally delivered. Also, I found that there is a timing window. The critical IMAP commands are: UID STORE xxx +FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen) UID MOVE xxx Trash If you introduce a large enough delay (I arbitrarily chose 5 seconds) between those two commands, there is no problem. Presumably this has to do with the two boxes syncing up some critical data structure. It takes a short time for the message that was moved to Trash to reappear in the INBOX. The trace initially shows the number of messages going from 3 to 2 when the message is moved to Trash, but a second or so later, the message count goes back up to 3. Interestingly, the reappearing message shows back up as Unseen in the INBOX but a duplicate copy of it stays in Trash as Seen. Dragging unread messages to Trash may not be polite, but it is technically acceptable. Regarding the trace below , CR's show up as \r, LF's show up as \n, and each line starts with S or C depending upon whether it is from the Server or Client.

syncing mailboxes with dsync after switchover
by Sergey Schwartz 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Gents, I'm relocating mailboxes to a new server. Before switching over to a new server I ran syncing a few times without any issues first I sync files with rsync from the old server to have a local copy, then I sync mailboxes with dsync /usr/bin/doveadm -Dv sync -u $MBOX -R "sdbox:/srv/vmail/temp/srv/srv.bgoperator.ru/${MBOX}:DIRNAME=DbOx-mAiLs" After switching over smtp transport and running dsync as above a few mailboxes were deleted dsync(xxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=1 already exists locally for a different mail: GUIDs don't match (c005a206e1c6e756f02700003a8929e2 vs 0ba1c03796f5dc524c6d0000b4ca29ec) dsync(xxxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=8855 GUID=80d5841f0fe2e35677630000b4ca29ec is missing locally dsync(xxxxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=7508 already exists locally for a different mail: GUIDs don't match (1e03d72074d8e756403700003a8929e2 vs 1dc47a3ac5c4e7562a290000b4ca29ec) dsync(xxxxxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=8238 GUID=2a6a803bd33fe156f85e0000b4ca29ec is missing locally and a few other mailboxes seemed to fail to sync dsync(xxxxxxx): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again. Is it a bug or I am doing something wrong ? -- Best regards, Sergey Schwartz Senior System Administrator Biblio Globus Tour Operator www.bgoperator.ru T: +7 495 5042500 ext 1532 E: sergey.schwartz(a)bgoperator.com

VS: New dovecot user needs installation help
by Aki Tuomi 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Can yoi run doveadm log errors too? ---Aki TuomiDovecot oy -------- Alkuperäinen viesti --------Lähettäjä: Jason Pruim <pruimj(a)gmail.com> Päivämäärä: 15.3.2016 4.50 (GMT+02:00) Saaja: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Aihe: New dovecot user needs installation help Hey Everyone, So I just setup my first dovecot install with postfix running for the mail server… I can telnet into my dovecot install and login just fine with my user locally… But when I try to add the account from my phone, computer, or telnetting from my local computer, it just hangs and eventually kicks back a generic error saying it can’t be added… Where can I start looking? I’m hosted with amazon web services and I’m waiting on them to approve my request to white list my IP on my instance, but that should only restrict my ability to send email out on port 25… I should still be able to operate locally… According to the firewall on amazon port 143 and 993 are both allowed from any IP address into the server (All outbound traffic is currently open until I get it working) I’m thinking it’s something easy, and I can handle pointers! I don’t necessarily need my hand held the entire way… At least not yet… Here is the output of my dovecot -n: [ec2-user@ip-172-31-22-222 log]$ dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.14.48-33.39.amzn1.x86_64 x86_64 mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } [ec2-user@ip-172-31-22-222 log]$ Let me know if there is anything else you need, or where to go from here! Thanks in advance! Jason Pruim pruimj(a)gmail.com

dovecot wiki...
by Andrew McGlashan 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Hi, Just want to know if this is a problem at my end (in my browser), or if it is something else. When I copy text from the wiki, the page changes to an edit one; that is very, very annoying. How can I stop this if it is normal dovecot wiki behaviour and what do you think I might look at in my browser if it isn't? I'm never likely to want to edit the wiki any time soon. Thanks AndrewM

Logging the TLS cipher suite
by Luigi Rosa 12 Mar '16

12 Mar '16

Hi, could it be possible to log the TLS cipher suite as Postfix does? This is a typical TLS Dovecot log line: imap-login: Login: user=<user(a)acme.com>, method=DIGEST-MD5, rip=1.2.3.4, lip=4.3.2.1, mpid=19671, TLS, session=<Jsvr46wt2c1ScQfY> This is the Postfix equivalent postfix/smtp[59723]: Anonymous TLS connection established to mail.acmne.com[1.2.3.4]:25: TLSv1.2 with cipher AECDH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) -- Ciao, luigi / +--[Luigi Rosa]-- \ We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!

Timout for LDAP connection
by Gordon Grubert 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Hi, we are using a round robin dns record for connections to our ldap system. This works fine for almost all cases. In particular, for dovecot does this mean, when an ldap server is stopped, dovecot instantly reconnects to another ldap server. But when the network connection to the active ldap server is broken, dovecot sticks to the failed ldap server. Is there any possibility to define a connection timeout? This is our current configuration for the ldap connection: # 2.2.devel (2d8f665): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.devel (0de2a19) # OS: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 8.3 uris = ldaps://LDAP-SERVER dn = BINDDN dnpass = BINDPASS auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = BASEDN scope = subtree user_attrs= ATTRIBUTES user_filter = USERFILTER pass_filter = PASSFILTER iterate_filter = ITERATEFILTER Best regards, Gordon -- Technischer Leiter & stellv.
