Problem with permissions of the logfile
by Andreas Meyer 07 Nov '15

07 Nov '15

Hello! I want to have dovecot log into a separate file and set log_path = /var/log/dovecot instead of log_path = syslog Dovecot does not start if I do this. Tried to change permissions and overschip of the file, no luck, ha. Deleted it in the hope dovecot creates it but no. If I set log_path = syslog dovecot starts and I see it is running as # ps aux |grep dove root 2429 0.2 0.0 3416 2568 ? Ss 16:42 0:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot -F dovecot 2431 0.0 0.0 3100 2080 ?

Questions on supporting Shared Mailboxes using imapc://
by Nathan Coulson 06 Nov '15

06 Nov '15

I was not able to get a shared mailbox setup working using imapc. Tested using mailboxes on the same server, as well as other servers. We are using dovecot 2.2.10 from Centos 7, following the guide at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/ClusterSetup imapc_host=192.168.5.5 #(Local dovecot server) imapc_master_user= %u imapc_password=TempPass #imapc_user=test2(a)example.com # Added for testing. namespace { type = shared separator = / prefix = shared/%%u/ list = children location = imapc:~/shared/%%u/ } namespace { # used as a control to verify that shared mailboxes work type = shared separator = / prefix = shared2/%%u/ list = children location = sdbox:%%h:INDEXPVT=~/shared2/%%u } dict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql_aggelos_shares.conf.ext } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl } mail_plugins = acl protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl imap_acl } passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } passdb { # for master user logins driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql_aggelos_aclmaster.conf.ext master = yes pass = yes } userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } I can login using test2@example.com*test@example.com (and see all of test2's email), and it looks like it authenticates ok via imap, but shared never shows up.

Our setup is as follows: (Currently does not use Dovecot Director, but has the same issues where shared mailboxes may not be local on the server) * Front servers, that are running dovecot (proxy to backend servers) * Backend Servers, each handle their own local users.

I must admit I don't understand what is going on. I am running rsyslog on two servers and on both servers version 2.2.13 of dovecot. On the first I set log_path = /var/log/dovecot1 with -rw------- 1 root root 1093533 6. Nov 17:24 dovecot1 in /var/log and everthing is fine. If I do this on the newly set up server, dovecot does not start. Ofcourse I could set it up to log to syslog and prepare rsyslog.conf but why is it so? Regards Andreas

replication delays
by djk 05 Nov '15

05 Nov '15

I have two dovecot instances that replicate to each other. Mail arrives into "post" and it is generally accessed via IMAP on "france". Changes (moves/expunge etc) on "france" seem to replicate back to "post" more or less immediately. But this seems to happen only for this user. (Some) other users' (e.g. me) mail generally replicates more or less immediately in both directions. Nov 5 17:40:55 post dovecot: lmtp(willem@xxx): xF9mK6eUO1YsFQAAdYyp2A: sieve: msgid=<20151105173923.14970.95605@ssa-app-xxx>: stored mail into mailbox 'SSA' Nov 5 17:41:00 post dovecot: lmtp(willem@xxx): yV9mK6eUO1YsFQAAdYyp2A: sieve: msgid=<20151105173924.14970.91073@ssa-app-xxx>: stored mail into mailbox 'SSA' Nov 5 20:39:09 france dovecot: dsync-server(willem): save: box=SSA, uid=3130, msgid=<20151105173923.14970.95605@ssa-app-xxx>, size=9724 Nov 5 20:39:09 france dovecot: dsync-server(willem): save: box=SSA, uid=3131, msgid=<20151105173924.14970.91073@ssa-app-xxx>, size=9197 Any suggestions as to where to start looking?

ssl-params: slow startup (patch for consideration)
by Joseph Tam 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

Based on the recent found weaknesses in DH key exchange, http://weakdh.org/ I increased ssl_dh_parameters_length to 2048 bits, and found waited for 5+ minutes for dovecot to come back online after a restart. Unless you got a fast machine, the initialization of DH parameters can exceed your patience. Regeneration may not be a problem (if ssl_parameters_regenerate=0 or if Dovecot uses old parameters until regeneration finishes), but for cold starts, the server can be tied up for a few minutes creating DH parameters while clients queue up. I ran "openssl dhparam 2048" and got wildly varying run times of 1m45s, 11m56s, 0.4s, 2m19s, 3h23s. Most of the time was spent testing primality of candidate p *and* (p-1)/2 -- so called "safe prime". If you're unlucky, this can take a long time. However, it appears "safe" primes are not what they're cracked up to be -- they offer some guarantees, but are not safer than non-safe primes. Creating DH parameters without requiring primality of (p-1)/2 (i.e. what "openssl dhparam -dsaparam" does) results in much lower run-time bounds. I cribbed some OpenSSL code to create this (untested) patch. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- iostream-openssl-params.c~ Tue Nov 3 16:08:38 2015 +++ iostream-openssl-params.c Tue Nov 3 15:43:39 2015 @@ -6,5 +6,2 @@ -/* 2 or 5.

dovecot-lda can't create /var/mail dotlocks on debian
by John Clements 03 Nov '15

03 Nov '15

I've been using dovecot+postfix happily for many years, and I'm now configuring it for a new machine. However, I'm running into an old problem again, and thinking that there must be a better solution. The problem is that dovecot-lda is unable to create dotlock files in the /var/mail directory. Dovecot version: 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u1 (I'm guessing this is upstream version 2.2.13) OS: Debian Jessie Currently, my mail directory has these permissions: clements@desmond:~$ ls -ld /var/mail drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4096 Nov 2 22:07 /var/mail clements@desmond:~$ ls -l /var/mail total 8 -rw------- 1 clements mail 1382 Nov 2 21:59 clements -rw------- 1 granitemon mail 530 Nov 2 22:07 granitemon I've added mail_privileged_group = mail to allow creation of the dotlock files. When I configure postfix to deliver using dovecot-lda, I get logs that look like this: Nov 3 11:12:20 desmond dovecot: lda(granitemon): Error: setegid(privileged) failed: Operation not permitted Nov 3 11:12:20 desmond dovecot: lda(granitemon): msgid=< 20151103181306.A4B5B5FF32(a)desmond.XXXDOMAIN.org>: save failed to INBOX: BUG: Unknown internal error In order to isolate the error, I took postfix out of the equation, and called dovecot-lda directly: clements@desmond:/tmp$ cat bogusmail From: clements(a)XXXDOMAIN.org To: granitemon@localhost Date: November 3 2015 Subject: graaaah this is the body clements@desmond:/tmp$ /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -e -d clements < bogusmail BUG: Unknown internal error clements@desmond:/tmp$ In response to this, mail.log now contains this similar error: Nov 3 11:34:57 desmond dovecot: lda(clements): msgid=unspecified: save failed to INBOX: BUG: Unknown internal error Nov 3 11:34:57 desmond dovecot: lda(clements): Error: setegid(privileged) failed: Operation not permitted I've tried a number of "random internet search" solutions, including - changing perms on mail files from 660 to 600 - enabling 'mail_access_groups=mail' in 10-mail.conf - adding individual users to the mail group. I guess I'm pretty confident that if dovecot is writing "BUG: Unknown internal error" in the logs, that this is is actually a bug in dovecot. OBresearch: I read through the release notes of 2.2.14 -- 2.2.19 to see if a relevant-looking bug had been fixed, but nothing jumped out at me. OBresearch: searching the dovecot mailing list, I found one *extremely* relevant thread called "Re: [Dovecot] started with dovecot sieve <http://dovecot.markmail.org/message/kgd34wberxuvmrsa?q=setegid>", but there didn't seem to be a solution contained in the thread. Final note: this doesn't appear to be confined to debian jessie: I took a look at my existing installation, and I see that in fact I just went ahead and made /var/mail world-writeable, which seems... sub-optimal. I'm sure I could do that here, too, but I'd certainly rather not. Thanks in advance, and let me know if I've left out relevant crucial information. Best, John Clements

I'll try show you: - trying to fetch emails with both: nonexistent header name and non existent value of header name: -- doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer XXtuxie |grep -c uid 0 - trying to fetch email with: non existent header name and existent value of header (value exists usually in header X-Sender) -- # doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer tuxie |grep -c uid 13743 second search: -- # doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer tuxie |grep -c uid 16639 another search with the same criteria: -- doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer tuxie |grep -c uid 20296 so the number of fetched emails is random and none of them contains such header: -- # doveadm fetch -u user@domain hdr HEADER X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer tuxie |grep -c X-Sasdasdsendasasdasdasdasaer 0 - now I'm searching for email with existent header contained existent value: -- # doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sender tuxie |grep -c uid 50699 second search: -- # doveadm fetch -u user@domain uid HEADER X-Sender tuxie |grep -c uid 50375 It looks for me that searching is done only for value of header not for both header name with given value. Next I turn off fts_squat in config and now results are correct. If someone uses doevadm expunge with fts_squat should be carefull. I just tried fts_lucene - no problem. Regards, Marcin

Initialization Failed:

Hi dovecotters I am trying to install dovecot on a mail server I am provisioning for myself in AWS. I am following an ArsTechnica guide, and at some stage in the process the author recommends and provides instructions to configure Dovecot (http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/03/taking-e-mail-back-pa…) So, now I have it installed and configured (I believe the way suggested) but when I try to connect via IMAP I am getting an error. If I try : root@ip-10-0-0-244:~# telnet mail.myactualdomain.com 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to mail.myactualdomain.com.

Re: Dovecot, JavaMail, UIDs and Message Numbers

We're using dovecot-2.1.16 on CentOS (rpm package from epel repo). Maildir format on ext4. > What exactly do you mean by "Dovecot started reindexing"? Selecting thread sort on the javamail client, the imap process opens all files in the folder and updates the following files on disk: dovecot.index dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log dovecot.index.log.2 dovecot.index.thread The folder has around 5000 mails and the operation takes some minutes (hw is not the bottleneck). Selecting thread view on Thunderbird or Roundcube takes less than a second, I can't see the imap process doing anything. > Dovecot's normal indexes or full text search indexes? Normal indexes. > How have you configured everything? What do you need to know in particular? doveconf output? Maildir infos: # time cat cur/* >/dev/null real 0m4.651s user 0m0.045s sys 0m0.141s # ls -f cur/ | wc -l 4170 # du -sh cur 49M cur Things go worse with a bigger maildir. > Does Dovecot log anything (especially any errors/warnings about anything)? No errors or warnings at all. I've enabled the mail_log plugin, but I think it can't log indexing operations. Thank you. -- Ciao, Filippo

The pattern to search for (or exclude) is "DHE" openssl ciphers -v {cipher-specs} | grep DHE If the OP wants preferentially use PFS ciphers (but keep the other ciphers around for very old browsers), maybe something like ssl_cipher_list = ECDH:ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes > finally you could use the service provided by ssllabs.com to scan your host.

updating and wsitching repo to yum.dovecot.fi - Unknown protocol: sieve
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hi, winter is coming and so I start to clean up some left overs of the year. One thing is to use the yum.dovecot.fi repository. After installing the current availabel dovecot and dovecot-ee-pigeonhole package and restarting dovecot I do get the error: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: protocols: Unknown protocol: sieve Is the sieve protocol an extra package? I thought in the 2.2. tree I dont have to do bigger config changes. We run already 2.2.something from city-fan.org and the switch was also the idea of going to the most recent release.

Webmail accessive Dovecot logins
by David Mehler 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hello, I've seen this issue before, running a imap/smtp/database server on localhost and adding in a webmail interface, in this case Roundcube. In my maillog I'm seeing accessive Dovecot connections and logouts just from my own transaction of logging in, going to compose a message, sending, and logging out. I'm using Mysql as database backend and was wondering if there was something I could do to cut down on the amount of connections needed? I'm running 2.2.19 on a FreeBSD 10.2 system. I'm not sure what other information to provide, here's the relevant log and a doveconf -n. Second question, in the doveconf -n there's reference to my ssl_cipher am I using current tls ciphers that support pfs? Thanks. Dave.

Dovecot frequently full-text reindexes the whole maildir
by vitalif＠yourcmc.ru 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hi! I'm using Dovecot 2.2.13 (Debian Jessie package 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u1) on my personal mail server (the address I'm writing from is on this server). I use Maildirs, I have fts + fts_squat enabled, and I have a problem with it for a long time - dovecot seems to not update the index always "incrementally". Yesterday I've finally made a test by telneting to imap port and issuing a search request. Dovecot started to reindex the mailbox. Full reindexing has taken around 15-20 minutes. After reindexing the fulltext searches were fast, just as they should be. And they were fast yesterday even after some new emails arrived. But I've tried to do a new search today and Dovecot started to reindex the whole maildir again! Why is it reindexing the whole maildir again? Could it be related to my anti-spam scripts removing messages from SPAM imap folder? And if yes, how to remove them correctly? -- With best regards, Vitaliy Filippov

Dovecot, JavaMail, UIDs and Message Numbers
by Gabriele Bulfon 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hi, new to this list, so a little prelude to my issue with Dovecot. We have been using JavaMail against Cyrus for ages, and developed Webtop, a huge Java web collaboration application running on them in production in various installations for all this time. Recently we had to run the same software against Dovecot pre-existing accounts running on Nethesis NethServer solution. After some time of testing, we started having an intermittent problem, where Dovecot started reindexing when Webtop was trying to issue sort or search commands. The same accounts previously worked with Thunderbird clients and/or RoundCube interface, never facing this problem. Digging into the issue, we compared the imap protocol produced by Thunderbird, RoundCube and Webtop, discovering that JavaMail is internally all based on message numbers, so any sort/search/fetch is a normal SORT/SEARCH/FETCH, while RC and TB always use UID SORT/UID SEARCH/UID FETCH. We tried to convert our code to use UIDs instead of msgnums, but turned out to be a huge rewrite of JavaMail, because of how JavaMail imap implementation is tied to msgnums. So my questions are: - is it a known fact that Dovecot prefers and performs better with UIDs than with msgnums? - is there any tweak we can do on Dovecot to work better on msgnums? - anybody already faced this issue with JavaMail/Dovecot? Thanks for any suggestion, Gabriele.

Fran - thanks for your reply. I'm cc'ing you directly on this as well as posting to the list as I'm not sure how often you check the list and I'm down to hanging by my last fingernail on this project. I have some preliminary questions interspersed below. Thanks, --Mark -----Original Message----- > Subject: Re: My dovecot works fine against Active Directory 2003, but not > against AD2008 > To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org > From: Fran <cumc-4361-2(a)chguadalquivir.es> > Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:26:21 +0200 > > Hi Mark, > > when I say AD 2003/8 I mean Active Directory 2003/8. Hmmm, I've not heard of "Active Directory 2003" or 2008. The year numbers indicated to me you might be talking about Windows Small Business Server 2003 or 2008. Is your AD Server Windows? Linux?

"Your a better man that I am Gunga-Din!" If there was more detailed narrative somewhere I couldn't find it. Also, I don't have jXplorer on my system, so probably I couldn't get too far anyway. BIG QUESTIONS: 1. Are you using MS Outlook IMAP clients in your environment? If so, how are you making them connect with LDAP? By checking the SPA checkbox? 2. The mail_gid/mail_uid as vmail confuses me. I see that setting a lot, including in your config. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers says, "You can create, for example, one vmail user which owns all the mails, or you can assign a separate UID for each user." I have assigned a separte UID for each based on the UID returned by `wbinfo -u <username>`. Does assigning separate UIDs mess up my ability to adapt your configuration? little questions: 3. I'm not planning on using quotas. Can I safely omit your mail_plugins = " quota" setting and all your plugin { quota_...} settings? I want to be as simple as possible to start. 4. Likewise, dovecot seems to be able to find users' mailboxes just fine. Can I omit the namespace inbox {} setting? These may seem like amaturish questions, but little details have foiled me a lot on this Dovecot project. If I feel confident with the answers you provide here, I'll move on to trying some things.

events
by Frederik Bosch | Genkgo 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hello, We want to trigger a script after certain actions by the user (event). This script inserts the action into message queue (e.g. Rabbit MQ) accompanied with some data. Then one or more workers picks up the action from the message queue and do something with it. The question is: how can I trigger the script from dovecot? An action/event should at least emitted when moving an e-mail message. The amount of data in the event is unknown. My current goal I would like to at least know the sender and receiver address and the type of action (e.g. move). But I can imagine, when having an event driven application, that others might even want the complete e-mail message to be in data. Is such an event driven system possible? When looking at current features of Dovecot: it would the same as the mail_log feature, but instead of writing to a file, one should able to write to a script or socket. Ideally the format of the event would JSON, XML or another data format. Regards, Frederik Current version: Dovecot 2.2.16.

Indexer crash when fixing incorrectly named Maildir files
by Daniel Demus 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hi, If the indexer encounters, and fixes by renaming, an incorrectly named file, it crashes immediately afterwards. I would guess the old file-name is re-used after re-naming and but isn't checked because it is assumed to exist having come from a listing of directory contents. dovecot: indexer-worker(<username>): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /home/<username>/Maildir/.INBOX.NYTimes/cur/1095923655.M449995P13207V0000000000000302I01010085_0.server.demus.dk,S=11936:2,S to /home/<username>/Maildir/.INBOX.NYTimes/cur/1095923655.M449995P13207V0000000000000302I01010085_0.server.demus.dk,S=12378:2,S: 1 Time(s) dovecot: indexer-worker(<username>): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x737c4) [0x76e327c4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_warning+0) [0x76e328e4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_panic+0x64) [0x76dda320] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x998b0) [0x76f388b0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_mail_init_stream+0x1c8) [0x76f38df4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x5391c) [0x76ef291c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_get_stream+0x68) [0x76ec482c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x536f4) [0x76ef26f4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_get_virtual_size+0x48) [0x76ec4454] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_mail_precache+0x124) [0x76f3a51c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0xcf20) [0x76beff20] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_precache+0x40) [0x76ec4c84] -> dovecot/indexer-worker(+0x1eec) [0x54b78eec] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x68) [0x76e46794] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xe8) [0x76e47a1c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xc) [0x76e46824] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x50) [0x76e468c8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x14) [0x76de02f0] -> dovecot/indexer-worker(main+0xe8) [0x54b78880] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0x114) [0x76c51d3c]: 1 Time(s) dovecot: indexer-worker(<username>): Error: read(/home/<username>/Maildir/.INBOX.NYTimes/cur/1095923655.M449995P13207V0000000000000302I01010085_0.server.demus.dk,S=11936:2,S) failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (11936 < 12378, box=INBOX.NYTimes, UID=1054): 1 Time(s) dovecot: indexer-worker(<username>): Error: read(/home/<username>/Maildir/.INBOX.NYTimes/cur/1095923655.M449995P13207V0000000000000302I01010085_0.server.demus.dk,S=11936:2,S) failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (11936 < 12378, box=INBOX.NYTimes, UID=1054) (uid=1054, box=INBOX.NYTimes): 2 Time(s) dovecot: indexer-worker(<username>): Fatal: master: service(indexer-worker): child 15655 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled): 1 Time(s) Regards, Daniel Demus

sieve vacation - 2 questions
by Hajo Locke 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hello, still trying to move from procmail to sieve, but there are new problems. Currently we use procmail for autoresponder and let user choose timerange, in which responder should work. May be you set up today your responder for 2 weeks in future where responder start and stop automatically without further manuell intervention. In procmail this is done by simple scripting and comparison of timestamps. How to do this in sieve? 2nd questions concerns to used From-Address in responding mail. Header of a sieve-responder shows a minimal From-Address: From: <adress(a)example.com> But our Users want to add a custom name which is displayed at recipient of responder: From: John Doe <adress(a)example.com> In procmail this is easy with formail, how to do this in sieve? Both features we implemented because people asked about it. I should find a way to recreate this in sieve. Thanks, Hajo

Migrating to new server, questions about recommended configuration.
by Bruce Marriner 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Hello! I'm moving Dovecot from a FreeBSD Jail (on ZFS using Maildir) to an Amazon EC2 Debian host. 1) I was on Dovecot 2.1 on my FreeBSD system but upgraded it to 2.2 so I could use dsync for the transfers. Is dsync the best way to migrate my data? 2) On the new Debian host, is there a better filesystem than EXT4 that I should use for the mail storage? 3) On the new host, is mdbox generally recommended over maildir? Especially when mixed with dsync? 4) Does dsync work as a good backup tool to keep a mirror of my live system? 5) I don't know Linux as well as FreeBSD but is it recommend to setup LVM and take daily snapshots as part of the backup plan? Do LVM snapshots cause any problems with Dovecot in the case of a rollback/restore?

How to use different SASL mechanisms for ssl connections
by David Cigánek 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Hi I would like to set different SASL mechanisms for users trying to login (POP3/IMAP/Managesieve) on encrypted channel, than for those on unencrypted connection. Specificaly: For users on unencrypted channel, i need to allow login with CRAM-MD5 (to improve security - I have users who require unencrypted connection but i cant let tem use PLAIN login, of course). But for users on TLS/STARTTLS, there is no need to encrypt the password and I want to store their passwords more securely - crypted with SHA512 - but that prohibits the usage of CRAM-MD5 for login in. I know how to handle the passdb/userdb lookups but i need to prevent the POP3/IMAP server from announcing the CRAM-MD5 SASL method on encrypted channel. Because if the server announces the CRAM-MD5 method, MUAs will preffer to use that and for most users, this method is unsupported so they will get an error. Also some MUAs seems to change SASL method from PLAIN to CRAM-MD5 on their own (according to my logs - after enabling the CRAM-MD5, many MUAs started to login with that, even though they have logged in with LOGIN/PLAIN up until then). I need the same that can be achieved in Posfix (for authenticated sending via SMTP) with those settings: smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, noplaintext smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = noanonymous, nodictionary Is there any way how to achieve this behavior in Dovecot? I'm using Dovecot ver. 2.2.16 (from source) on Centos 7. Since I have already done some research, i believe there is currently no way how to achieve this behavior. Now I'm looking at the source code here: src/login-common/sasl-server.c sasl_server_get_advertised_mechs() and I think it shouldn't be too hard for me to implement a little ad-hoc change to get this working. So I'd like to ask you if I'm on the righ way with that and if there is anyone out there who could help me with that, I would realy appreciate it. Thank you very much. David.

MAPI Properties?
by Mark Foley 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

I'm using Dovceot/IMAP on Linux and Outlook clients on WIN7 workstations. Mail on Linux is stored in Maildir format. I'm searching for where Outook keeps its information on color categories in IMAP. According to Diane Poremsky at slipstick.com, "Outlook stores it in the mapi properties of each message. If you use MFCMAPI to viuw the messages, you'll see the properties." MAPI is a Windows thing and the recommended MFCMAPI is for viewing these properties in Exchange. Not what I can use. Outlook must be storing these properties somewhere in the Dovecot/IMAP system as color categories can be set from Outlook. Can someone tell me where to look for these properties? THX - Mark

Can't access maildir with dovecot
by Julien Cubizolles 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

I'm a total newbie regarding imap servers. I'm trying to set up a Offlineimap/dovecot/Gnus system and Gnus complains that it cannot access the maildir... Here is my setup, put together by copying stuff from around the web without any prior knowledge of these tools... * Offlineimap is setup to use the $HOME/Maildir-free/, using --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- preauthtunnel = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/Maildir-free --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- in the local maildir part of ~/.offlineimaprc. * The Maildir-free maildir has been correctly (I think) populated with a single "General" folder. /home/wilk/Maildir-free: total used in directory 52 available 5502852 drwxrwxr-x 6 wilk wilk 4096 oct. 23 11:10 . drwx------ 240 wilk wilk 20480 oct. 23 15:06 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 wilk wilk 4096 oct. 23 11:09 cur -rw-rw-r-- 1 wilk wilk 348 oct. 23 11:10 dovecot.index.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 wilk wilk 51 oct. 23 11:10 dovecot-uidlist -rw-rw-r-- 1 wilk wilk 8 oct. 23 11:09 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 wilk wilk 0 oct. 23 11:09 dovecot-uidvalidity.5629f967 drwx------ 6 wilk wilk 4096 oct. 23 11:16 General -rw-rw-r-- 1 wilk wilk 0 oct. 23 11:09 maildirfolder drwxrwxr-x 2 wilk wilk 4096 oct. 23 11:09 new drwxrwxr-x 2 wilk wilk 4096 oct. 23 11:09 tmp * dovecot is not setup to start as a server (no script in /etc/rc*.d/) and I didn't configure anything in any /etc/dovecot/ file (maybe I should have ?) * Gnus is supposed to access the maildir as an IMAP server through dovecot: I have: (nnimap "FreeOffline" (nnimap-stream shell) (nnimap-shell-program "/usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/Maildir-free") in gnus-secondary-select-methods * I try to access this maildir as follows /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:/home/wilk/Maildir-free/ * PREAUTH [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 SPECIAL-USE BINARY MOVE] Logged in as wilk * LIST "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "."

As you can see, the "General" folder doesn't appear, and there is a mention of "INBOX" even though there is no folder under this name (but I guess that's a default for any IMAP system). Accordingly, Gnus only displays a INBOX folder when browsing the FreeOffline IMAP server, and complains that it contains no message. What's the correct way to setup dovecot? Thanks for your help. Julien.

2.2.18 initial setup permissions problem
by Forrest 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

I'm using Dovecot 2.2.18, compiled from source, on CentOS 6. I'm running into a permissions problem with my first rollout of Dovecot which has to do with directory permissions: Oct 23 14:34:51 mail dovecot: imap(username): Error: stat(/home/username/Maildir/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=596(<unknown>) egid=97(dovecot) missing +x perm: /home/username/Maildir, dir owned by 500:500 mode=0700) This being setup with the Dovecot wiki instructions. I may have misunderstood an initial setting. If I change permissions to my personal Maildir directory struct to be dovecot:dovecot it works fine, but this seems unusual. Dovecot is running as root: root 19176 0.0 0.1 2876 1096 ? Ss 14:28 0:00 /usr/local/sbin/dovecot dovecot 19178 0.0 0.0 2780 996 ? S 14:28 0:00 dovecot/anvil root 19179 0.0 0.1 2912 1144 ?

S 14:38 0:00 dovecot/ssl-params I can't seem to figure this one out. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Haproxy and Dovecot auth
by Giuseppe Civitella 26 Oct '15

26 Oct '15

Hi all, I'd like to use Haproxy to balance an auth service on a couple of Dovecot directors to have a redundant sasl service for my Postfix instances. While I configure the Postfixes to use, as smtpd_sasl_path, a direct connection to one of the directors I notice no errors. When I redirect the smtpd_sasl_path through an Haproxy balanced connection, I receive an error the first time I try to sen an email. The error is: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server If then I send more emails I receive no errors. If I do not send emails for a few minutes, the error appears again. The relevant Haproxy configuration is the following: listen auth *:12345 mode tcp balance source log global option tcplog option log-health-checks stick-table type ip size 200k expire 30m stick on src default-server inter 1000 fall 3 rise 1 server dovecot-director01 dovecot-director01:12345 check Do anyone have an idea about what it's missing? Thanks a lot Giuseppe -- Giuseppe Civitella gcivitella(a)entermail.it

Memory leak or misconfiguration: Repeated allocation of very large block
by Sebastian Wolfgarten 25 Oct '15

25 Oct '15

Dear all, I am using Dovecot 2.2.19 and I keep on getting the following warnings in my mail.log file on FreeBSD 10: Oct 24 10:45:28 server1 dovecot: imap: Error: GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 20480): Oct 24 10:45:28 server1 dovecot: imap: Error: May lead to memory leak and poor performance. I am wondering whether this is a configuration issue (i.e. a mistake in my current config) or whether I am hitting a bug. What’s the best way of figuring this one out? I tried increasing the verbosity of the logs but it did not really provide me with further information. Any ideas?

Notify plugin doesn't send mailbox_create notifications
by Lukas Mika 24 Oct '15

24 Oct '15

Hi there, I'm running dovecot 2.2.13 on my debian jessie server. When installing my own dovecot plugin, I noticed that there are no notifications coming from the notify plugin. I checked back with the mail_log plugin, but also this plugin doesn't log any notifications when a new mailbox is created; the mail is saved to the new inbox never the less. I ran dovecot 2.2.9 before on my Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) server, where with the same settings the plugins worked. Can you reproduce this issue and does anybody know a fix to this? Here are the relevant bits of my config: 20-lmtp.conf: protocol lmtp { mail_plugins). mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve mail_log notify } 10-logging.conf ... plugin { mail_log_events = mailbox_create mail_log_fields = uid box } ... Cheers

Question about dovecot replication
by Urban Loesch 24 Oct '15

24 Oct '15

Hi, last week I installed 2 servers with two dovecot nodes and replication in active/active mode located in different datacenters. Based on the howto from wiki "http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication" it works great. According to the wiki it is recomended to run "doveadm purge" on both systems continously, because "doveadm purge" will not be replicated by the replication service. No problem so far. But I have one doubt: is it also reccmended (for keeping maildata in sync) to run "doveadm replicator replicate '*'" continously on both nodes? Or is it enough on only one node? Or should I run "doveadm sync -A tcp:anotherhost.example.com" in regular intervalls? Perhaps once a day on both nodes? Thanks Urban Loesch

help filtering messages
by James 23 Oct '15

23 Oct '15

Hello, I'm attempting to use sieve-filter on a local mailbox. I've defined mail_location as follows: % grep mail_location /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf mail_location = maildir:~/Mail I have a large number of mailboxes / mail in ~/Mail: ~ % find Mail | wc -l 63158 There are definitely a few messages in INBOX: ~ % find Mail/INBOX/cur | wc -l 5 I must admit, I'm completely new to sieve and have just begun experimenting with it. Based on a super helpful blog post[1], I quick set up the following ~/.sieve: % cat ~/.sieve require ["fileinto"]; # rule:[TEST] if header :contains "Subject" "Test Email" { fileinto "TEST"; stop; } As mentioned, there are numerous emails in INBOX. This email is located in ~/Mail/INBOX/cur/<blah> and, for verbosity (and to ensure I'm not making a foolish mistake), I've displayed it here: From: Test Account <test(a)test.com> To: "Me" <me(a)test.com> Subject: Test Email Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 14:55:06 +0000 This is a test email. Looking at the sieve filter recipe and email message, it appears that I should have a match, no? sieve-filter appears to disagree: % sieve-filter -C ~/.sieve INBOX sieve-filter(test_user): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/test_user sieve-filter(test_user): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Mail sieve-filter(test_user): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/test_user/Mail, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/home/test_user/Mail, alt= Thinking this was because sieve will only filter on new messages, I moved the file from cur to new. No change. Any thoughts on why this may be happening? Thanks! 1 https://mebsd.com/configure-freebsd-servers/dovecot-pigeonhole-sieve-filter…

Hibernation disabled when mailbox selected
by Joseph Tam 20 Oct '15

20 Oct '15

After setting imap_hibernate_timeout to 60s, I could not find any hibernated connections after a few hours. I tested hibernation and made an observation: IDLE'd imap sessions only hibernate if they don't have a mailbox SELECT'd, otherwise they never hibernate. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

TLS communication director -> backend with X.509 cert checks?
by Heiko Schlittermann 19 Oct '15

19 Oct '15

Hello, using Dovecot 2.2.9 and a setup with directors and backends. The communication between directors and backends needs to be TLS secured. The director config contains a list of hostnames for the backends. (implicit list because of multiple A/AAAA records for a single hostname or explicit list of several host names) On connection setup from a client the director connects to the selected backend. But it seems (not checked in the source yet), that for SSL certificate verification the director doesn't know the original host name anymore. The certificate's CN gets compared to the IP address the director connects to. Oct 12 23:56:51 director2 dovecot: director: Error: director(2001:683:921:f33::5:1:9090/out): connect() failed: Connection reset by peer Oct 12 23:57:53 director2 dovecot: imap-login: Error: proxy: hostname doesn't match SSL certificate at 2001:683:921:f33::5:fe:993: user=<foo>, method=PLAIN, rip=2001:638:912:f33::1:1, lip=2001:638:912:f33::5:2, TLS, session=<fLrUa+8hggAgAQY4CRIPMwAAAAAAAQAB> In 10-directors.conf I've: director_mail_servers = backend1.<domain> backend2.<domain> Should I create certificates with IP address in SAN? (Any hint about the correct syntax for the openssl.conf is welcome). Or is there any chance that this is fixed already or will be fixed in the near future or even better, that it's my fault?

Hi! I am create replication between two Debian 8.2 servers with dovecot 2.2.13. It work, but wont now more about replication used and i didn't now where i can red it: 1. aggregator - documentation and what he done? 2. replicator - full description or man for him 3. dsync - full description or man for him 4. doveadm replicator status - full description for all his points: * Queued 'sync' requests - when it started and what it is mean? * Queued 'high' requests - when it started and what it is mean? * Queued 'low' requests - when it started and what it is mean? * Queued 'failed' requests - when it started and what it is mean? * Queued 'full resync' requests - when it started and what it is mean? (wherry often i see this point is active on status for all my mail accounts) * Waiting 'failed' requests - i now what is it! * Total number of known users - i now what is it! 5. can dovecot create replication in real-time????

Doveadm client/server possible?
by Leon Kyneur 18 Oct '15

18 Oct '15

Hi As my mail infrastructure grows I'm now looking at the possibility of running all my doveadm commands from a central location. Wondering if there is a way to configure an inet_listener on doveadm and have a client elsewhere connect to it? Have seen the inet_listener for replication but not sure if it can also be used for general client server communication. Thanks Leon

Order in which UIDs are assigned..
by Akash 17 Oct '15

17 Oct '15

Hi, I just want some clarification on how Dovecot's IMAP assigns UIDs when it picks files from the "new" directory of a Maildir. What I am observing is that only ctime has a role to play in it. For example if there are two files in "new", a.msg & z.msg. Even when a.msg has lower mtime than z.msg and "a" comes before "z" alphabetically, dovecot will assign z.msg a lower UID if its ctime is lower than a.msg. Is this correct? Secondly, when mails are placed into Maildir through a external mechanism by-passing LDA, by any means is it possible for IMAP to run seive on it when it migrates the files from new to cur and indexes them? I understand that this might not be a valid question as mail is delivered already so there is nothing to filter :-) -Akash

doveadm-search-query pattern format
by Frank-Ulrich Sommer 17 Oct '15

17 Oct '15

Hello, the doveadm-search-query documentation specifies a 'pattern' for many search keys. Unfortunately it does not mention the format specification of this pattern (special characters, wildcards, ...). I'm using dovecot 2.2.9 but also searched the current documention on dovecot.org. Where can I find further documentation concerning the exact specification of the pattern format?

hi everyone need a few questions answering if possible before i can complete some modifications on my mailserver 1 how do i modify my user_query line in dovecot-sql.conf for quotas 2 is my iterate_query line ok 3 should i use lmtp or lda to deliver the quota warnings in quota-warning.sh my server is using lmtp but i've only seen examples using lda 4 how do i break long lines in dovecot.conf, is it the same as postgresql where you leave a space on the next line before continuing the txt. i would like to break the cipher line in dovecot.conf over multiple lines 5 have i configured my namespace section correctly so that i can substitute for the autocreate plugin also could you give the files a quick look over to make sure there isn't any unnecessary additions that shouldn't be there or omissions that should be there thanks shadrock ============ /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_privileged_group = vmail log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log auth_debug_passwords=yes mail_debug=yes verbose_ssl=yes ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048 ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/postfix.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/postfix.key ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/ca.crt ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 ssl_cipher_list = ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA:AES256-SHA:AES:CAMELLIA:DES-CBC3-SHA:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!MD5:!PSK:!aECDH: auth_mechanisms = plain login passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } #namespace inbox { # separator = / # type = private # inbox = yes # location = maildir:/home/mailboxes/Maildir # list = yes # prefix = INBOX. #mailbox Drafts { # auto = subscribe # special_use = \Drafts #} #mailbox Junk { # auto = subscribe # special_use = \Junk #} #mailbox Sent { # auto = subscribe # special_use = \Sent #} #mailbox Trash { # auto = subscribe # special_use = \Trash #} #} mail_plugins = quota # protocols = "pop3 imap lmtp" protocols = pop3 imap lmtp sieve plugin { autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Sent autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Sent sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/ quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quotadict quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-warning +100 %u quota_warning2 = storage=95%% quota-warning +95 %u quota_warning3 = storage=80%% quota-warning +80 %u quota_warning4 = -storage=100%% quota-warning -100 %u # user is no longer over quota } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service managesieve { } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } user = root } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh user = vmail unix_listener quota-warning { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins autocreate imap_quota } protocol sieve { managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot log_path = /var/log/dovecot-sieve-errors.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-sieve.log } protocol lmtp { postmaster_address=postmaster(a)thisdomain.co.uk hostname=testy.thisdomain.co.uk mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve quota info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp.log } dict { quotadict = pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } --(postgresql stuff)-- CREATE DATABASE mail WITH OWNER mailreader;

Strange indexing behavior on HTML emails ..
by Akash 16 Oct '15

16 Oct '15

Hi, In continuation to the issue I had posted about long back: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-August/097362.html I did further testing today on a fresh new Debian & latest Dovecot and observed a undesired behavior. I am using fts_lucene & following sequence of commands on a empty test account me(a)myself.com: doveadm expunge -u 'my(a)myself.com' mailbox 'INBOX' all cat test.eml | /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -e -f you(a)yourself.com -d me(a)myself.com doveadm search -u 'akash(a)mailjol.in' mailbox 'INBOX' text ABCD Search command does or doesn't find the email with slight variation in the content of test.eml. Here are the results: test.eml content: ----------------------------- From: you(a)yourself.com To: me(a)myself.com Subject: Test Message Content-Type: text/html <div id="mydiv">ABCD 1234</div> ----------------------------- RESULT: OK. The email is found. test.eml content (double quotes inside div tag replaced with single): ----------------------------- From: you(a)yourself.com To: me(a)myself.com Subject: Test Message Content-Type: text/html <div id='mydiv'>ABCD 1234</div> ----------------------------- RESULT: None. The email isn't found. test.eml content (single quotes in div but content/type header removed): ----------------------------- From: you(a)yourself.com To: me(a)myself.com Subject: Test Message <div id='mydiv'>ABCD 1234</div> ----------------------------- RESULT: OK. The email is found. What could be the reason for this? -Akash

Dovecot top stats
by Kilburn Abrahams 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Hi, I have being try to track down top email users to sometime. When I do a network traffic check I can see there is about 15 times more email traffic pulled from mail server than sent. The problem I am trying to track down is which users are the culprit. I have enabled doevcot stats and I can do a doveadm stats dump user but I get a 0 for disk_input, disk_output, read_bytes and write_bytes. I do get mail_read_bytes numbers but I am not sure these numbers are correct. I there a top utility that works well so I can see email traffic from users mailboxes. The doveadm top does not work well. I also tried the perl scripts and that does not do a much better job. Thanks Kilburn

What do you mean by "iterate"? If you mean whether you can look up a password entry in a multi-entry file, then yes, definitely. If you mean to sequentially go through it and do a first/last/best match, probably not. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Emails with sender MISSING_MAILBOX@missing_domain
by grupo correo 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Hello, we are working in the migration from courier-imap to dovecot 2.2.10-4.el7_0.1.x86_64. Some emails that send a internal application show as sender "MISSING_MAILBOX@missing_domain", i use like email client Horde using dovecot like server. But if i open that email with Horde and courier-imap i can see the correct email sender. I think that the email of the sender is no correct or not accomplish some RFC. Can anyone help me to understand this? Thank you

Thanks for Dovecot
by Steve Litt 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

Hi all, Thanks for making Dovecot. I just transitioned from Debian Wheezy to Void Linux. It was fairly easy to get Dovecot working on my Void box, and having Dovecot makes all of my email activities easier by doing one thing and doing it right. Thank you for such great software. SteveT

Dualstack IPv4/IPv6 setup with directors
by Heiko Schlittermann 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

Hi, still using 2.2.9, I've two directors, and these directors use both IPv4/IPv6 addresses. `host directors.<domain>` returns one A and AAA for each of the two directors: directors.<domain> has address 149.x.y.96 (director1) directors.<domain> has address 149.x.y.97 (director2) directors.<domain> has IPv6 address 2001:x:y:f33::5:1 (director1) directors.<domain> has IPv6 address 2001:x:y:f33::5:2 (director2) But connecting the the neighbor director gives: Oct 13 21:23:29 director1 dovecot: director: Warning: Director 2001:x:y:f33::5:2:9090/left disconnected us with reason: Invalid input: ME 149.x.y.96 9090 Oct 13 21:23:29 director1 dovecot: director: Error: director(149.x.y.97:9090/out): connect() failed: Connection refused Oct 13 21:23:29 director1 dovecot: director: Warning: net_connect_ip(): ip->family != my_ip->family Oct 13 21:23:29 director1 dovecot: director: Error: Remote director thinks it's someone else (connected to 2001:x:y:f33::5:1:9090, remote says it's 149.x.y.96:9090) I assume it's because the director uses only one (IPv4 OR IPv6) address for it's own identity, right?

Storage Design (Regligious War, Whatever)
by Kelsey Cummings 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

We've been running dovecot director setup using MAILDIR++ spools on NFS served by 4 (aging) Netapp clustered filers and are considering modernizing our storage. There's nothing particularly wrong with the existing storage except the age, density and power consumption don't compare well when against new systems. Refreshing the Netapps is an option but they come at a substantial cost. The last time we were looking one of the recommended hot DIY setups was Linux NFS backed by XFS on N mirrors but this predated the availability of stable ZFS in FreeBSD or Linux as well as products like FreeNAS. A FreeBSD NFS/ZFS filer on commodity hardware with zil/l2arc on a PCIe SSD seems like an attractive, affordable and easily scaled out solution which also would allow us to leverage compression at the filesystem layer. Does anyone have any experience running ZFS spool storage? If so, how do you handle DR/HA for spool storage? Thoughts on how this might compare to using DRBD? Any pitfalls to watch out for or general pointers? Suggestions on pool configuration? -K

dovecot as proxy and verification of the backends certificate
by Heiko Schlittermann 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

Hello, I'm using a dovecot as proxy, connecting to one or more backends. The backends use X.509 certificates. The proxy's passdb returns extra fields: user=foo proxy host=backend1.<domain> ssl=yes nopassword=y Thus the proxy connects to the backend but can't verify the backends certificate. The following comment suggests using ssl_client_ca_file for that. # Directory and/or file for trusted SSL CA certificates. These are used only # when Dovecot needs to act as an SSL client (e.g. imapc backend). The # directory is usually /etc/ssl/certs in Debian-based systems and the file is # /etc/pki/tls/cert.pem in RedHat-based systems. #ssl_client_ca_dir = #ssl_client_ca_file = ssl_client_ca_file = /tmp/certs/ca-local.pem But that does not work! Instead I've to use ssl_ca # PEM encoded trusted certificate authority. Set this only if you intend to use # ssl_verify_client_cert=yes. The file should contain the CA certificate(s) # followed by the matching CRL(s). (e.g. ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/certs/ca.pem) # ssl_ca = ssl_ca = </tmp/certs/ca-local.pem Bug or feature? Mainly I'm asking because the comments do not indicate that I should have used ssl_ca for this type of operation (dovecot as a SSL client) Best regards from Dresden/Germany Viele Grüße aus Dresden Heiko Schlittermann -- SCHLITTERMANN.de ---------------------------- internet & unix support - Heiko Schlittermann, Dipl.-Ing.

Dovecot auth-ldap ignores tls_* settings when using ldaps://
by Heiko Schlittermann 13 Oct '15

Hi, I'm using dovecot 2.2.9 (but after checking src/auth/db-ldap.c in 2.2.13 there seems to be the same bug/feature). The userdb and passdb use LDAP. All further configuration is done in auth-ldap.conf.ext. uri = ldaps://<host>/ # tls = tls_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/client-cert.pem tls_key_file = /etc/ssl/certs/client-key.file Dovecot ignores the tls_* options. If I use an ldap:// URI and switch on TLS using tls=yes it works as expected. But I do not see any reason why LDAPS should not read the tls_* settings. This small patch solved it for me --- dovecot-2.2.9/src/auth/db-ldap.c 2013-11-24 14:37:39.000000000 +0100 +++ dovecot-2.2.9.hs12/src/auth/db-ldap.c 2015-10-08 21:24:47.051446465 +0200 @@ -1043,7 +1043,7 @@ static void db_ldap_set_tls_options(struct ldap_connection *conn) { - if (!conn->set.tls) + if (!(conn->set.tls || strncmp(conn->set.uris, "ldaps:", 6) == 0)) return; #ifdef OPENLDAP_TLS_OPTIONS It would be great, if somebody can confirm this and if this or some equivalent patch could make it upstream.

Multiple core solr support
by Daniel Miller 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

Is it possible to use variables, such as domain or username, in the plugin url declaration? This would allow using multiple cores to separate the stored indexes. So when my own giant mailbox gets corrupt...I don't have to rebuild everybody's... Something like url=http://mysolr.server.com:8983/solr/%u -- Daniel

fts solr ignores new mailboxes until fts rescan
by Giorgio Paolucci 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

Hello, on my debian wheezy installation, I implemented fts plugin with solr as indexing system. I noticed that if a user creates a new folder, that folder it is ignored by dovecot indexing until a doveadm fts rescan is performed for that user. From that time on everything works ok on that folder. As a test I set fts_autoindex=yes and put in that folder a brand new mail never indexed before. in my logs indexer-worker says it indexed 0 messages Obviously this is a major issue as users often create new folders, but a search always returns empty results. My system is a debian wheezy with dovecot packages from backports dovecot 2.2.13-11~bpo70+1. Am I missing something? Any clue would be appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

iterate users with passwd-file passdb?
by Eric Abrahamsen 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Apologies for the basic question, but I've been googling and can't figure out if this is possible or not. Simply: Is it possible to iterate over users if I'm using the passwd-file passdb driver? Do I need a SQL-based driver if I want to iterate? Here's what I've got right now. I don't have many users, and would prefer to retain the simplicity of the passwd-file if possible. Thanks! passdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%u scheme=ssha512 /etc/dovecot/passwd.db deny = no master = no pass = no skip = never result_failure = continue result_internalfail = continue result_success = return-ok } userdb { driver = static args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/mail/vmail/%d/%n }

Syncronizing two IMAP servers
by Timothy Murphy 10 Oct '15

10 Oct '15

I spend time in two places, in different countries. I have a local network in each place, with IMAP servers on each network. I collect email by fetchmail from various servers, and read email on my laptop with KMail. I tried using just one IMAP server, but this proved impractical. So I have two collections of the same sub-folders, on the two servers. I have two questions: 1. Is there a simpler way of organizing my email? 2. Given the current method, is there a way of syncronizing folders on the two servers? -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

Maildir: ACLs/Unix perms and unable to see content of specific mailbox
by Olaf Marzocchi 10 Oct '15

10 Oct '15

Dear Dovecot users, hello. I will merge two issues I have into a single email because they may be related. I used dovecot on a OmniOS server since 2014 (currently OmniOS r151014) with the following configuration (it shows 2.2.18 because I recently updated dovecot, skipping only the PostgreSQL plugin): # 2.2.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.11 i86pc zfs mail_location = maildir:/tank/home/%u/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail 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 { driver = pam } protocols = imap ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } You can see that I set the Maildir folder inside the shared home folders of my server (it is only one user, anyway). It always worked perfectly, but one-two months ago I changed the permissions of my whole home folder, recursively, to add proper ACLs. I needed them because the clients started using illumos kernel SMB (relying on ACLs) instead of Netatalk/AFP (relying on Unix perms only). I didn't realise I applied the ACLs also to the Maildir folder. Dovecot worked for several weeks fine, I noticed the issue only yesterday when a mailbox (see below) appeared in Thunderbird completely empty even if the "cur" subfolder on the server still contains all the mails. Dovecot was throwing some errors like: dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.error] imap(olaf): Error: rename(/tank/home/olaf/Maildir/.&A6k- Mailing Lists.Log/dovecot.index.cache) failed: Permission denied (euid=501(olaf) egid=501(olaf) UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?)) dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.error] imap(olaf): Error: rename(/tank/home/olaf/Maildir/.&A6k- Mailing Lists.Log/dovecot.index.tmp, /tank/home/olaf/Maildir/.&A6k- Mailing Lists.Log/dovecot.index) failed: Permission denied dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.error] imap(olaf): Error: unlink(/tank/home/olaf/Maildir/subscriptions.lock) failed: Permission denied dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.error] imap(olaf): Error: rename(/tank/home/olaf/Maildir/subscriptions.lock, /tank/home/olaf/Maildir/subscriptions) failed: Permission denied I will post here the current permissions of the folder containing Maildir, of the Maildir itself, of its contents, and of the folder that appears empty when browsed with a client (Thunderbird). /tank/home/olaf $ ls -lV .. drwx------+ 16 olaf olaf 17 Sep 19 01:52 olaf user:olaf:rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd-----:allow group:2147483648:rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd-----:allow everyone@:rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd-----:deny /tank/home/olaf $ ls -lV drwxrwx--- 348 olaf olaf 359 Sep 19 01:51 Maildir owner@:rwxp--aARWcCos:-------:allow group@:rwxp--a-R-c--s:-------:allow everyone@:------a-R-c--s:-------:allow /tank/home/olaf $ ls -lV Maildir/ drwxrwx--- 2 olaf olaf 2 Jan 30 2014 cur owner@:rwxp--aARWcCos:-------:allow group@:rwxp--a-R-c--s:-------:allow everyone@:------a-R-c--s:-------:allow -rwxrwx--- 1 olaf olaf 21 Jan 30 2014 dovecot-keywords owner@:rwxp--aARWcCos:-------:allow group@:rwxp--a-R-c--s:-------:allow everyone@:------a-R-c--s:-------:allow (ALL THE SAME PERMISSIONS FOR THE OTHER FILES EXCEPT...) -rwxrwx--- 1 olaf olaf 13735 Jan 24 2015 subscriptions owner@:rwxp--aARWcCos:-------:allow group@:rwxp--a-R-c--s:-------:allow everyone@:------a-R-c--s:-------:allow -rw-rw---- 1 olaf olaf 13709 Sep 19 01:51 subscriptions.lock owner@:rw-p--aARWcCos:-------:allow group@:rw-p--a-R-c--s:-------:allow everyone@:------a-R-c--s:-------:allow The folder that appears empty: /tank/home/olaf $ ls -lV Maildir/.Generiche/ total 513 drwxrwx--- 2 olaf olaf 949 Sep 18 01:42 cur owner@:rwxp--aARWcCos:-------:allow group@:rwxp--a-R-c--s:-------:allow everyone@:------a-R-c--s:-------:allow -rwxrwx--- 1 olaf olaf 46 May 18 2014 dovecot-keywords owner@:rwxp--aARWcCos:-------:allow group@:rwxp--a-R-c--s:-------:allow everyone@:------a-R-c--s:-------:allow (ALL THE SAME PERMISSIONS FOR THE OTHER FILES) I really hope you will have the time to help me because I already applied the permissions recursively and I removed the ACLs, almost as it was before my mistake. I specified "almost" because originally (I checked the backups) the Maildir folder had an ACL that gave access permissions also to the group "mail": drwxrwx---+349 olaf olaf 359 Feb 16 2014 Maildir group:mail:rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd-----:allow owner@:rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd----I:allow group@:rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd----I:allow everyone@:rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd----I:deny Yesterday I haven't replicated it because from the documentation I understood it was not necessary. My questions, in short: - what are the permissions I need to give to the Maildir folder? I understood from the documentation it's 700, with my user/group (the one of the user accessing the mail). What about ACLs? and what about group "mail"? - the (only!) subfolder which appears empty in Thunderbird, may it depend on the permissions? maybe due to them the index was not updated and UIDs don't match. If after applying the correct permissions I still cannot see its contents, is there a way to recover the mails? the files are all still there. Sorry for the long email, but after several tries yesterday I exhausted my ideas. Regards, Olaf

Double Dots
by Ken Mandelberg 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

I've noticed lately that Dovecot seems to be inserting an extra dot in some url's contained in html email. The most consistent example I see is in the newsletters from the Washington Post. For example, if I look at the raw email on the mail server I see text that starts <http://link.washingtonpost.com/click But if I look at what Thunderbird shows it starts http://link..washingtonpost.com/click/ I don't think its Thunderbird adding the dot, since K9 mail on my Android phone shows the same issue. It's only after the IMAP delivery that the extra dot appears. We are running dovecot 2.0.12 Incidentally, the newsletter is full of these link.washington post url's. For each article it appears 3 times, once on title, once on a "read full article" link, and one on a picture. Its only the one on title, that gets the extra dot after its been through dovecot. Furthermore, it only happens from the second article on. Any ideas?

Dovecot plugin and Push Mail
by Steffan Cline 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

I’m posting this here and will in a couple other places to see if anyone has any experience with this and knows what I can do. My setup is CentOS 6 with postfix, procmail and dovecot administered via Virtualmin. Postfix of course receives the email. Procmail uses it’s hooks to run the email through spam assassin and clamd. After than procmail hands it off to dovecot/deliver to drop it in the user’s mail box. I use the following plugin for dovecot with the daemon to provide Apple push mail for iPhones. https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-daemon https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-plugin For the most part, this works awesome but have run into a bit of a race issue with notification of mail in a particular instance. On my computer I use Outlook for Mac which says it supports IDLE but is broken. When an email comes in, I ALWAYS get the notification via the dovecpt plugin for a push since Outlook is checking IMAP every 2 minutes. On a buddy’s setup, he uses Apple Mail which supports IDLE that actually works. When his email client is connected from his laptop, it does actually maintain a persistent connection and NEVER receives a notification from the dovecot plugin because I’m guessing dovecot/deliver sees that the email was received by the desktop client. I’m not sure how to make the plugin ALWAYS give a push. Is it a dovecot config? A bug in the plugin? I’m not sure. Suggestions? Thank you, Steffan Cline 602-793-0014

how to treat synonymous domain names as one
by Nikolai Krot 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Hallo List Users, I am curious if there is a way to rewrite domain name to another domain name. My goal is to provide authentication and mailboxes for the synonymous domains in a single source while keeping all other domains separate. I have setup: auth_username_format = %Lu mail_location = /var/vmail/%d/%u/Maildir in userdb/passdb (passwd-file): /etc/dovecot/%d/users Say I have two synonymous domain names my-domain-1.com my-long-named-domain-1.com I want both to resolve to my-domain-1.com when %d variable is used in Dovecot configs, so that passwd-file is /etc/dovecot/my-domain-1.com/users mailbox is /var/vmail/my-domain-1.com/user/Maildir while keeping other domains unchanged my-other-domain-2.com should resolve to: passwd-file is /etc/dovecot/my-other-domain-2.com/users mailbox is /var/vmail/my-other-domain-2.com/user/Maildir thanks, Nikolai

Compiling v2.2.19 - internal compiler error: segmentation fault (test-timing.c -> int64_t issue?)

Hi, I am trying to compile a 64-build of the latest dovecot v2.2.19 on my SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x64) system. I've run ./configure with two parameters, the --prefix one and the --with-ssldir one. During the make stage, I am getting the following 'internal compiler error' message : --------------------------------------------- [...] gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/lib-test -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -MT test_lib-test-timing.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/test_lib-test-timing.Tpo -c -o test_lib-test-timing.o `test -f 'test-timing.c' || echo './'`test-timing.c test-timing.c: In function ‘test_timing’: test-timing.c:48: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:http://bugs.opensuse.org> for instructions. make[4]: *** [test_lib-test-timing.o] Error 1 ---------------------------------------------- The lines that seem to be causing the problem are the following ( from src/lib/test-timing.c ) : 45: void test_timing(void) 46: { 47: static int64_t test_input1[] = { 48: 20, 19, 18, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 49: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, -1 50: }; This is the first time that any version of dovecot (the v2.2 branch) couldn't compile on my system, and I've literally compiled every single release up to now. My gcc version is a very old one (4.1.2) : ---------------------------------------------- Using built-in specs. Target: x86_64-suse-linux Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr --with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/lib64 --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,fortran,obj-c++,java,ada --enable-checking=release --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.1.2 --enable-ssp --disable-libssp --disable-libgcj --with-slibdir=/lib64 --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-libstdcxx-allocator=new --program-suffix= --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --without-system-libunwind --with-cpu=generic --host=x86_64-suse-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.2 20070115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) ----------------------------------------------- Don't know whether this helps, but I've noticed that if I change the int64_t to uint64_t in the following lines of the same file : 61: static int64_t *test_inputs[] = { 62: test_input1, test_input2, test_input3 63: }; ..then compilation finishes without errors, but I'm not certain what the practical consequences of this action might be. Can somebody help me please ? Thank you for your time.
