HELP: wrinting dovecot-sql.conf to authenticate to an existing database
by Filippo Zeus 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

hi all, can anyone help me with dovecot-sql.conf please ? I'm not a mysql expert and I'am trying to authenticate dovecot2 to an existing database. I have a database "egroupware" with table "egw_accounts". The field "account_lid" is the full email address and "account_pwd" is the password in Blowfish format. Here is my dovecot-sql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=egroupware user=egroupware password=********* default_pass_scheme = BLF-CRYPT password_query = SELECT account_pwd AS password FROM egw_accounts WHERE account_lid = '%u' when I try to login to POP or IMAP I got this error in mail.log/mail.info Error: sql(hidden@mydomain.com,::1): Invalid password in passdb: crypt() failed: Invalid argument auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL#0111#011user=hidden(a)mydomain.com dovecot: pop3-login: Debug: Ignoring unknown passdb extra field: I think I'm having trouble with the password value that is stored in the account_pwd as: {crypt}$2a$12$XTAolzXgwMC211MuZELQUedPv9tjZNs7Osh97PnZ50pAKuk3WPGmS Reading at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes I suppose that the heading "{crypt}$2a$" instead of a simple "$2a$" (witch identifies a Blowfish password) is my problem. How can I fix this ?

Autocreate folders with specific permissions
by Fabio S. Schmidt 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Hi, I have Dovecot 2.1 deployed running about 65k mailboxes. We need to create a specific folder for all users with specific permissions. I mean, the user could not delete or rename the folder. To create the folder automatically I have used the autocreate, but is there any way to set specific permissions on those folders? My best regards.

Problem with IMAP-Proxy and M$ Exchange-Server
by Luca Bertoncello 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Hi List! I **HATE** Exchange-Server. I think it's not able to manage E-Mails, but we have to use it at work... Well, we need to read the E-Mails from outside, so I configured Dovecot with IMAPC to connect to the Exchange-Server. It works, but I have a problem... If I receive an E-Mail, and I read it from my phone (for example), I see in Outlook that the E-Mail as been read. If I move the E-Mail in another folder from my phone, I see in Outlook the E-Mail in the new folder **AND** in the INBOX. If I check my E-Mail from another phone (or Mail-Client), I see the E-Mail just in the new folder, so I think, the Exchange-Server did move it. But Outlook does not get this information... Any idea how can I solve my problem? Thanks Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

Large jumps in dovecot-uidlist
by Mark 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Since upgrading to Debian Wheezy I have been observing large jumps in the value stored in dovecot-uidlist. The effect of these jumps is to confuse some mail clients (Thunderbird, Opera Mail) causing them not to display messages from a (random?) point in time onwards in the affected folder. I have been unable to determine the root cause of these jumps. What I do know: 1. I never observed the problem while running Debian Squeeze. 2. The only way I have found to fix the issue is to remove all the dovecot* files from the affected folder and restart dovecot. I have tried removing various subsets of the dovecot* files but haven't yet found a subset that works. 3. I first tried upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy within a few weeks of the Wheezy release. At that point the problem occurred so frequently that I couldn't sync my mail client with my mail box. Multiple folders exhibited this problem and while I was fixing them the problem appeared in other folders. I was unable to reach a point where the system was stable so I reverted back to Squeeze. 4. Some time later (I think a year but I am not sure) I tried the upgrade to Wheezy again. This time the system was stable. After a few days I noticed that the problem was still occurring but less frequently. Since then I have been fixing the problem as I notice it and experimenting with various settings (mainly locking related) without success. I now have a cron job that looks for problematic folders and fixes them when found. 5. I have updated Dovecot packages to those from Jessie via wheezy-backports and the problem still occurs. 6. Dovecot is installed along with postfix, amavisd-new, clamav-daemon, procmail and fetchmail. 7. The mail server is running on a eSATA SheevaPlug that boots of an external USB drive. All user home dirs (and associated mailboxes) are located on a LUKS/ext3 encrypted partition. 8. The output of dovecot -n may be found at the end of this mail. 9. Uid values for the three most recent instances of this problem are: 3801596527, 3371927249, 3443181615 10. Some folders seem more susceptible to this problem but I have not been able to identify any common factors/triggers. 11. The problem occurs - on average - once a day. I am happy to provide any further information, configure any debug logging and/or test suggested configuration settings that may help track down the root cause of this problem. Any help gratefully appreciated.

Are the Dovecot Enterprise Edition Ubuntu 14.04 packages stable?
by deoren 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

I recently begun to migrate mail services to a new box so I could retrofit an existing box. I took this opportunity to check back on the official Dovecot Enterprise Edition (EE) pages to see if support has been added for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I never could find the information on the dovecot.fi website, but taking my existing credentials for Dovecot EE repo access and looking at the root path I see that 14.04 packages are available from the APT repo. Are those stable or experimental? I have an Ubuntu 12.04 box I've kept around just for Dovecot EE that I'd like to move to 14.04 if the packages are stable. p.s. Thank you for continuing to provide access for existing users of the repo, but what would new users need to do to obtain access? Thanks for your time.

Questions about hardlinks, alternate storage and compression
by Gionatan Danti 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Hi all, I have some questions about hardlinks, alternate storage and compression. I already scanned the list for related information and I have an idea of how things works, but I would like to have a definite answer. System spec: - CentOS 6.6 x64 - dovecot-2.0.9-8.el6_6.4.x86_64 RPM package/version - sdbox mail store 1) About hardlinks: when sending the same message to two different recipients, I see that the two u.x files are created as two different files. Diffing them, I see that the only difference is a single char (see [1] for an example). My questions are: a) it is possible to tell dovecot to create a single file + a single hardlink (linkref=2)? As other IMAP servers support that features (eg: Cyrus, CommunigatePro, etc) I am wondering if I missed something in configuring dovecot... b) If it is not possible, can I run a script that compare the various files and substitute equal ones (minus the changing line) with hardlinks, or it will confuse dovecot? As a side note, why the changing line ever exists? 2) About alternate storage and compression: actually, I use a single mail_location without compression. I would like to have an alternate storage and to enable compression on it only, leaving the main location without compression. I if understand it correctly, it _should_ be done using a command similar to "doveadm -Dv -o "plugin/zlib_save=gz" altmove -uu testuser sentbefore 8d". I'm right thinking that it should work? I will really end with a primary uncompressed mail store and an alternate, zlib-compressed one? Thank you all and sorry if I did some naive questions.

Each user has a unique UID but they all have 1 GID (800) My MTA is sendmail I am using dovecot-lmtp for local delivery Mailbox format is mbox Configured managesieve plugin to listen on 4190. (not sure if this is even related but it might) The problem I see is that lmtp(user1) tries to access the home directory /home/user2 and I cannot figure out the reason why. This only happens when sending mails to multiple recipients. I see the that lmtp complains that it doesn't have execute permissions. But I don't want to place execute permissions for others on the entire /home/* dir structure. Also, 700 are the default creation permissions. So new users would have to be chmod'ed manually. (unless there is a setting in dovecot) I used "mailx" to send a test email to multiple recipients `echo "test message" | mailx -s "subject" -r vader at dhcp90.##### han.solo at dhcp90.##### vader at dhcp90.##### tester at dhcp90.#####` The only one who actually receives the message is han.solo at dhcp90.##### and The same happens with aliases in /etc/aliases. `echo "group test" | mailx -s "subject" -r vader at dhcp90.##### grouplist at dhcp90.#####` "grouplist" is defined in /etc/aliases and contains the same users as in the log Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

This happens for multiple email users spread across multiple domains sitting in different locations. i am searching for a solution for the last several months but nothing yet require help please my dovecot config file # Settings for 'stock' qmail-toaster disable_plaintext_auth = no default_login_user = vpopmail mail_max_userip_connections = 50 service imap-login { service_count = 0 client_limit = 256 process_min_avail = 4 vsz_limit = 384M process_limit = 400 } service pop3-login { service_count = 0 client_limit = 1000 process_min_avail = 12 vsz_limit = 512M process_limit = 400 } auth_cache_size = 0 auth_cache_ttl = 0 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 0 auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 auth_username_format = %Lu first_valid_uid = 89 first_valid_gid = 89 log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log login_greeting = ready. mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota plugin/quota = maildir protocols = imap pop3 ssl_cert = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_key = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem # the following will likely be the default at some point ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048 namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = # prefix = INBOX. # Use 'prefix = INBOX.' for Courier-IMAP compatible transparent migration. # This forces all client apps to create subfolders underneath/within # the inbox instead of adjacent to it.

autocreating folders with special chars stored in mysql-userdb
by Hajo Locke 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hello, i use dovecot 2.2.18 and do some tests with an utf8 mysqlbackend. I use MySQL to authenticate Users and for retrieving some individual settings like autocreating folders etc. by userdb-settings in user-query. Yet no problems with standard language. Now i try to provide userdb-settings in exotic languages. My MySQL table uses utf8 charset. I store some data in my userdb-column. Here an polish example: "namespace/inbox/mailbox=example namespace/inbox/mailbox/example/name=postępować namespace/inbox/mailbox/example/auto=subscribe" Result is a new folder in dovecot, but in client every special char ę and ć is replaced with a "?" I seems that at some point a conversion to latin1 is performed which ruins the utf8 chars. Creating a folder postępować by imap-client is no problem. Hmm, what should i do now? I dont know how to influence dovecot to process retrieved utf8 data furthermore as utf8. Which charset is using dovecot when connecting to mysqldb and how to take influence? Thanks, Hajo

Dovecot auth username mapping
by Laz C. Peterson 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

I have an interesting case here … Virtual mailboxes, domain/username/aliases stored in MySQL, authentication done using PAM. PAM authenticates through Kerberos, which are internal realms and not the email domains — for example, my username would be laz(a)PARAVIS.LOCAL <mailto:laz@PARAVIS.LOCAL> and my email address would be laz(a)paravis.net <mailto:laz@paravis.net>. All of this works just fine. But what I want to do is allow the users to log in using their email address and not their full Kerberos name. It is becoming laborious to help the users understand the difference between their username(a)LOCAL.REALM and username(a)email.address <mailto:username@email.address> and why we have to have two separate identities that mean the same thing. I have the SQL statements to convert either the Kerberos login or the email address to the actual Kerberos login (so they may use either). But I cannot seem to figure out how to get Dovecot to acknowledge this as the mapped username. I’m sure there has to be a way. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! ~ Laz Peterson Paravis, LLC

Outlook 2013 not fetching new mail/synchronization issues

Hi all, Dovecot 2.2.10 CentOS 6 64 bit. We are having terrible synchronization issues with Outlook 2013 (all updates) on Windows 7 SP1 and 8.1 hosts (all updates). Scenario: 1. Emails were sent since user closed Outlook 2. Next day: start computer, open outlook 3. No new email (even though email were sent overnight) 4. half a day later Outlook fetches emails like nothing happened Second issue: folders created or email send in Outlook 2013 does not synchronize on IMAP, they remain only local .. But I am mostly interested into finding a fix for the first synchronization issue described in scenario. Second is also important but I have a feeling its connected to the first.

duplicate namespace prefix

Hello, I am in the process of setting up a server that is running to invocations of dovecot. One of the invocations is acting as a backend and the other as a Director. I believe I have most of the configuration complete but I keep running into the following error: Jul 01 14:17:04 lda(postmaster(a)mydomain.com: Error: user postmaster(a)mydomain.com: Initialization failed: namespace configuration error: Duplicate namespace prefix: "" Jul 01 14:17:04 lda(postmaster(a)xn--mydomain-8za.com: Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Not sure where to go from here and most of my searches on the error have lead me to dead ends hoping someone can help me out. Thanks.

Using PAM and passwdfile together

dovecot-lmtp

Hi, I'm trying to use dovecot-lmtp so that I can filter messages with sieve, however it doesn't appear to be working. I followed the instructions on wiki2.dovecot.org. I'm running Debian Wheezy. I've got runit configured to execute postfix and dovecot, which may be the source of the problem (runit executes /usr/sbin/dovecot -F). I've got mail_debug turned on and there is nothing in the mail log about lmtp.

Dovecot deleting files and directories
by Jan Ekholm 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Hi, I’m a new Dovecot user and using version 2.2.18 on an OpenSuse system. In general it all works quite nicely and clients can connect to Dovecot and manage mails normally. The layout used is maildir. The users are all virtual, i.e. they do not exist on the Linux system. They all log in without any authentication due to a very specialized and internal setup. However, sometimes Dovecot simply deletes mails from the maildir structure. It also seems to delete entire users too. This is not a simple case of clients deleting mails, but the entire folder for the user seems to sometimes get nuked. I’ve also seen that only the mails and Dovecot’s admin files (indexes etc) are deleted. The log file is not really too informative, mostly lines of this form: Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Info: Disconnected: IMAP session state is inconsistent, please relogin. in=781 out=2630 Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(operators-east(a)east.domain.x): Debug: Namespace : /opt/mail/operators-east doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(operators-east(a)east.domain.x): Debug: Namespace : /opt/mail/operators-east doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(operators-east(a)east.domain.x): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /opt/mail/operators-east: mode=0700 gid=default Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Debug: Namespace : /opt/mail/firstname.lastname doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Debug: Namespace : /opt/mail/firstname.lastname doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Jul 01 14:00:36 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /opt/mail/firstname.lastname: mode=0700 gid=default Jul 01 14:01:03 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<firstname.lastname(a)domain.x>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=9326, secured, session=<2+YiPc4ZGwB/AAAB> Jul 01 14:01:03 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Debug: Effective uid=1001, gid=100, home=/opt/mail/firstname.lastname Jul 01 14:01:03 imap(firstname.lastname(a)domain.x): Debug: maildir++: root=/opt/mail/firstname.lastname, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/opt/mail/firstname.lastname, alt= Jul 01 14:01:07 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<operators-east(a)east.domain.x>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=9333, secured, session=<11NpPc4ZHAB/AAAB> Jul 01 14:01:07 imap(operators-east(a)east.domain.x): Debug: Effective uid=1001, gid=100, home=/opt/mail/operators-east Jul 01 14:01:07 imap(operators-east(a)east.domain.x): Debug: maildir++: root=/opt/mail/operators-east, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/opt/mail/operators-east, alt= I’ve changed the name and domain. Not sure if the namespace complaints have anything to do with the directories on disk, but normally they are there when the logging comes. Below is the used config file. I can’t see anything that would trigger deletions and there is no logging or similar about it. To me it’s quite serious that an IMAP server randomly deletes mails and its own files. ########################################################################################### # support only IMAP, no pop3 protocols = imap # listen only on IPv4 (the default is: "* ::") listen = * # where logging gets sent log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log # disable SSL ssl = no disable_plaintext_auth = no # we're using maildir without any extra folders in the user's home directory (set in userdb) mail_location = maildir:~ # user ids default_login_user = dovenull default_internal_user = dovecot # auth config auth_verbose = yes auth_mechanisms = plain # password scheme. Uses an external Python application to verify the password. It gets # sent the username and password and can perform authentication. The current one # simply accepts anything. passdb { driver = checkpassword args = /opt/dovecot-2.2.18/bin/checkpassword.py } # user database userdb { driver = static args = uid=navie gid=users home=/opt/mail/maildir/%n } ########################################################################################### Anything obviously wrong? I’ve seen that mail_location and mail_home should not be the same, but using mail_location = maildir:~/mail gives the exact same behavior. Best regards, Jan Ekholm

LDAP default value variable interpolation
by Leon Kyneur 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

I'm wondering if there is a way I can dynamically generate an LDAP default value by using variables. I have a configuration that works something like this on my front end proxy: pass_attrs = mail=user,\ =nopassword=y,\ =proxy=y,\ =host=mail.%d The above works perfectly well even though it seems a bit hack. I want to fetch the host field from LDAP and default it to "mail.%d" if the attribute isn't populated for the user. I have tried the following : pass_attrs = mail=user,\ =nopassword=y,\ =proxy=y,\ =host=%{ldap:mailHost:mail.%d} however the interpolation doesn't occur on the default. Just wondering if there is a way to achieve this? thanks

Getting regularly mailbox desyncs while syncing with imapc
by Michael 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Hello list! I sync approximately ~1000 Mailboxes actually without any problems, except my very own mailbox - Dovecot 2.2.18 (mdbox format) running here. The server from where I sync my mails from runs Dovecot 1.2.4 (with mbox format). The last log line that I receive is: dsync(ms(a)ddnetservice.de): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again. dovecot error log: 2015-06-30 13:09:50 imap(ms(a)ddnetservice.de): Error: Corrupted transaction log file /var/vmail/ddnetservice.de/ms/mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log seq 2: indexid changed 1435401731 -> 1435662589 (sync_offset=0) This is the command for running my syncs: doveadm -o imapc_user=<remote_user> -o imapc_password=<remote_pw> -o imapc_host=<remote_host> -o imapc_features="rfc822.size fetch-headers" -o mail_prefetch_count=20 -v -D sync -R -u<local_user> imapc: &> $LOGS/$BOX.log A re-run of this command for my mailbox doesn't fix the problem. The "Inbox" remains empty. Only a "doveadm force-resync -ums(a)ddnetservice.de" fixes this problem with the exception that the Inbox still remains empty. So after force-resyncing I need to run the sync again and my Inbox remains consistent until the next imapc sync run. Actually the desync message is self-explanatory, but I wonder why this behaviour only occurs for my own Inbox (only Inbox, other directories aren't affected) and not anywhere else. Is there any possiblity to debug this? Could also the amount of new incoming mails cause this or do I have maybe a bugged mail in my original mailbox that is causing my trouble? Any hint is appreciated. Thanks, Michael

Same-server mail transfer
by Andrew Obertas 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

Hello, What would be the best way to perform a same-server Maildir transfer, while retaining the IMAP structure already in place, between users with the same GID but different UIDs? I've tried doveadm import but I presume it is encountering a permissions error due to the different UIDs. Worst case scenario, I could move everything over manually and then update the UIDs. I feel like there should be a more elegant solution though that I'm not immediately grasping however. -- Best regards, Andrew Obertas Junior Systems Administrator Infinet Communications Group

Out of bounds read error in wildcard_match.c
by Hanno Böck 27 Jun '15

27 Jun '15

Hi, I discovered an out of bounds read error in the file wildcard_match.c. Here's the code: /* find the end of each string */ while (*(++mask)); mask--; while (*(++data)); data--; The problem with this: It will search for the end of the strings (zero-terminated), but it'll only start at position 1, not at position 0 (because the ++ in front of the variable will first increment and then return the value). However these strings can be empty. This can be fixed by changing ++mask to mask++ (and same for data), then there must be a -=2 instead of -- afterwards. See attached patch. I found this by compiling dovecot with address sanitizer and running the test suite. cu, -- Hanno Böck http://hboeck.de/ mail/jabber: hanno(a)hboeck.de GPG: BBB51E42

"Sensible" location for Sieve scripts
by Andrew Beverley 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

I'm configuring some Sieve scripts for virtual users. I'd like to keep the Sieve scripts somewhere "sensible". Currently, all the mail goes into /var/mail/vhosts/<domain>/<mailbox> So I thought a good place for the sieve script might be in there as well, for example: /var/mail/vhosts/example.com/username/sieve Is there any reason *not* to store the sieve scripts in the same location as the mail? Thanks, Andy

I'm getting the following error when using dovecot replication: dovecot: imap(foo(a)bar.com): Error: open(/var/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo) failed: No such file or directory I guess this has something to do with the fact that every user is chrooted in it's own homedir. Does dsync support dsync notification when all users are chrooted? lmtp does not seem to have this problem so new mails get replicated, but status changes don't.

Namespace Translation / IMAP Proxying
by Daniel van Ham Colchete 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

Hello everyone! About three years ago we migrated from Courier do Dovecot using the procedure at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier. So we have a namespace prefix os "INBOX.". We are trying to implement the SOGo collaboration with Exchange ActiveSync integration with Android Lollipop devices. So, in this exact configuration (namespace prefix + ActiveSync + Android Lollipop) things dont work really well [1]. I'm trying to get an IMAP Proxy of any kind in front of my Dovecot system to translate my namespaces when SOGo connects to it. So instead of presenting INBOX and INBOX.Sent it should show INBOX and Sent. I tried to do it with imapc but couldn't find any configuration that would allow it. I also looked at Perdition IMAP Proxy and NGINX but couldn't find it there also. Does anyone knows a way to do it? Best, Daniel Colchete [1] https://lists.inverse.ca/sogo/arc/users/2015-06/msg00301.html

Fatal: -N parameter requires syncing with remote host

hi I get with default (not declared) replication_dsync_parameters above errors, and for users that I'm trying to disable replication. I'm trying to disable with: override_fields = mail_replica="" in userdb and just in case (ldap) also user_attrs = =mail_replica="" my replication conf is pretty basic: service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0660 } } service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail group = Domain Users mode = 0660 } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail group = Domain Users } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 } } doveadm_password = secret # I can tell simple test: doveadm -v sync -f -u my(a)my.domain ssh vmail@server doveadm dsync-server -u me(a)my.domain works. It's for a user that I don't want replication. What am I missing here? many thanks

Re: Virtual Mailboxes
by dmiller＠amfes.com 25 Jun '15

25 Jun '15

My next bonehead maneuver - was more of the first! location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual was adapted from my definition for my shared namespace. Which was intended to share OTHER users - which is why the '%%' prefixes are used. Changing to: location = virtual:/var/mail/%d/%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual Now I can actually view something! But I still have a challenge - the mailboxes don't allow subscriptions via IMAP. If I manually edit the "subscriptions" file I can force it and I can now browse & view - but I can't make changes via IMAP clients.

EXT4/LVM recommendations for 3TB of mdbox ?
by Nicolas C. 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Hello, Do you have recommendations on EXT4 and LVM options for a 3TB file-system for mdbox? We currently use the mbox format on a XFS with poor performances since the update in v2.1 (Debian). We will switch to EXT4 to have the possibility of shrinking the file-system if needed (which is not possible with XFS), we currently have LVM partitions but with mdbox we will use LVM snapshots to backup the server in a consistent state. So, - any particular options to use with mkfs.ext4 for the creation of the FS ? - do you recommend a «thin» logical volume ? Our storage (IBM Storwize v7000) already have thin provisioning capabilities. The server will be a VMware virtual machine running Debian with RDM LUNs of 500GB. Data blocks will be automatically spread across several RAID disk (SSD, SAS, SATA) by the v7000. The «mdbox_rotate_size» will be configured around 10MB. Thanks, Nicolas C.

why would replicated to server ask for extra fs permissions?

I think I'm near getting a simple replication, but on server which is still "empty" I get: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/var/spool/mail/ccnr.biotechnology/nr412/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=1187(nr412) egid=513(Domain Users) missing +w perm: /var/spool/mail, we're not in group 12(mail), dir owned by 0:12 mode=0775 but repl from server runs just fine and their configs are virtually identical. What I missed? many thanks

is it safe to have two backed used for the same user?
by lejeczek 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

hi everybody I wonder if it is safe (and wise) to have two passw-user databases for the same one user. I'm thinking, mail to me via pam mail to me(a)this.domain via ldap whole Maildir would be essentially the same one storage target, I see permissions have to be mangled, available to write for both vmail and actual uid. what do you think? Is it how it's done? regards

Assert test not compatible with s390(x) and ppc64 architectures
by Michal Hlavinka 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi, we have found that assert test fails on some architectures: test-net.c:59: Assert failed: net_addr2ip("127.0.0.1", &ip) == 0 && ip.family == AF_INET && ip.u.ip4.s_addr == (127 | (1 << 24)) It seems as bug in test suit as test is expecting IPv4 address in LE format (0x0100007f), but it gets address in BE format(0x7f000001). Patch in attachment should fix this issue. Regards Michal Hlavinka

a temporary failure
by lejeczek 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

dear all I have a postfix relaying to dovecot's lda but "strangely" it does not work, I mean I imaging it's me doing something wrong, yet I cannot figure out what. postfix logs: to=<me(a)my.domain>,orig_to=<root@localhost>, relay=dovecot, delay=39296, delays=39294/2.2/0/0.27, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure) and dovecot logs no error, despite having debug to yes in couple of places, it shows: auth: Debug: master in: USER 1 me(a)my.domain service=lda auth-worker(25343): Debug: passwd(me(a)my.domain): lookup auth-worker(25343): passwd(me(a)my.domain): unknown user auth: Debug: ldap(me(a)my.domain): user search: base=ou=People,dc=my,dc=domain scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=person)(uid=me)) fields= auth: Debug: ldap(me(a)my.domain): result: objectClass=top,top,top,top, ... here goes the whole lot of ldap atrribs, and at the end: unused. For passdb & userdb in the configs I only configure ldap backed, nothing else. Ldap works, I can query it without failling. I believe it's very simple set up but I must be wrong somewhere. pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n)) pass_attrs = uid=user=%n,userPassword=password user_attrs = =home=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n,=mail=maildir:/var/spool/mail/%d/%n/Maildir:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(uid=%n)) Any suggestions very appreciated. thanks

Proxy to more Servers
by Luca Bertoncello 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Hi list! Finally I got the LDAP-Authentication work (it was a problem of the OU-Path... :( ). Now I can authenticate the user against the AD and forwarding the IMAP-Connection to the Exchange Server. Wow! My next problem: we have TWO ADs and TWO Exchange-Servers. The first AD has the users for the first Exchange, and the second AD for the second Exchange. I defined two files so: auth-ldap-OLDAD.conf.ext: passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-OLDAD.conf.ext } userdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-OLDAD.conf.ext default_fields = imapc_user=%u imapc_password=%w imapc_ssl=imaps imapc_host=sphinx.company.local imapc_port=993 driver=imap uid=imapproxy gid=imapproxy home=/home/imapproxy } auth-ldap-NEWAD.conf.ext: passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-NEWAD.conf.ext } userdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-NEWAD.conf.ext default_fields = imapc_user=%u imapc_password=%w imapc_ssl=imaps imapc_host=exchange01.ad.company.org imapc_port=993 driver=imap uid=imapproxy gid=imapproxy home=/home/imapproxy } Well, the authentication works as expected, but when a user of the second AD/Exchanges tries to log in, after a SUCCESSFULLY authentication can't speak with the new Exchange server... :( In the log of Dovecot I see: Jun 23 15:07:58 proxy01 dovecot: imap(chorris): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': Mailbox list driver imapc: missing imapc_host Jun 23 15:07:58 proxy01 dovecot: imap(chorris): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Could someone explain me, why the configuration for imapc_host in the second file are ignored? Thanks Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

allowing shell users to change passwords
by dave＠661.org 23 Jun '15

Does anyone else here have a need to allow shell users to change their imap/pop3 passwords? I came up with a little thing that works similarly to regular passwd(1), dovepasswd, which can be found at https://github.com/DavidGriffith/dovepasswd. It does the job for me and I'd love for other people to take a look and give me some feedback. -- David Griffith dave(a)661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.

To say that disabling the use of index files solved your problems is akin to saying amputating your foot solved your bunion problems. Ordinarily, indices ought to be a benefit -- it will help with I/O bottlenecks when mailboxes or number of users get huge. I can't tell from your list of problems whether they are the result of one or many causes, but fixing the index consistency problem would go a long way toward clearing up most of your problems. If INDEX=MEMORY is working for you and you don't see performance degradation, there's no harm in using it, but in my opinion, it may benefit you in the future to get to the bottom of the indexing problem rather than to lop it off altogether. > I am curious if setting INDEX=MEMORY "disables the index completely" as > per http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation: "If you really want to, you > can also disable the index files completely by appending > :INDEX=MEMORY."

The latter I believe. The important words in the wiki sentence is "index files", not "indexing". Dovecot is still indexing, exept that it builds it from scratch each and every time a worker process accesses a mailbox, so incurs a fixed overhead that cannot be used for the next session.

Dovecot as Proxy for __MORE__ Exchange-Servers
by Luca Bertoncello 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hi list! I'm trying to configure Dovecot 2.2.18 to act as proxy. Dovecot has to authentificate the users against an LDAP-Server (AD) and then act as IMAP-Proxy to an Exchange Server. Now the problem is, that we have TWO Exchange servers (and two ADs, too). How can I say to Dovecot that it has to search for the user in the first AD (and if found proxy to the first Exchange server) and if the user was not found, to search in the second AD (and if found proxy to the second Exchange server)? Thanks a lot Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

Quota SQL separate queries?
by Akos Vandra 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hello, We are trying to enforce per-domain quotas. Currently my quota-sql.conf looks like this: connect = host=/var/run/postgresql dbname=mail user=mailreader map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota username_field = username value_field = messages } With quota = dict:Domain:%d:proxy::sqlquota This works with a trigger by updating and , however I am unable to show the administrators a list of which of their users are using the most space. That is to be purely informative, and is not to be enforced. I would appreciate if there was a documented way to specify exact SQL queries to run for inserting, updating and selecting from the quota storage, something like this: -- CREATE VIEW quota_domain AS SELECT domain, sum(bytes), sum(messages) FROM quotas GROUP BY domain INSERT/UPDATE INTO quotas(username, domain, bytes, messages) SELECT bytes, messages from quota_domain WHERE domain = %d Is there such a possibility? If not, can you suggest a workaround to have a list of per-user quota usages as well as enforced per-domain quotas? Thanks, Akos Vandra

Mailbox aliases problem
by azurIt 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

Hi, i'm trying to implement malbox aliases but it's not fully working as i expected. This is my configuration: mail_plugins = acl mailbox_alias plugin { mailbox_alias_old = INBOX/Odoslane mailbox_alias_new = INBOX/SentTest } That 'INBOX/' must be there because of this (we were moving from Courier IMAP): namespace inbox { type = private prefix = INBOX/ separator = / inbox = yes list = yes } All of this is working fine, if i create folder SentTest, the link to folder Odoslane is correctly created on filesystem. The problem is that folder SentTest is invisible even after creation: 1 CREATE "INBOX/SentTest" 1 OK Create completed. 2 LIST "" "*" <all folders except SentTest are listed> 2 OK List completed. 3 LIST "INBOX/SentTest" "*" 3 OK List completed. 4 LIST "INBOX/Odoslane" "*" 4 LIST (\HasNoChildren \Sent) "/" INBOX/Odoslane 4 OK List completed. 5 CREATE "INBOX/SentTest" 5 NO [ALREADYEXISTS] Mailbox already exists 6 DELETE "INBOX/SentTest" 6 OK Delete completed. None of the e-mail clients i tried can see the folder. I'm using Dovecot 2.2.13 from Debian Wheezy (wheezy-backports). Any hints? azur

I'd like to set the quota of a user through the IMAP protocol. I use Pythons imaplib: imap.setquota("test1m(a)uni.dtr", "(storage 8192)") ('NO', ['Quota can be changed only by admin.']) So... which user is the "admin" user in a virtual user setting (passwd: PAM, userdb: LDAP)? Greetings Daniel

I guess this would be a common case, I am hoping for some final clarification. a few Linux boxes share ldap (multi-master) backend that PAM/SSSD uses to authenticated users, and these LDAPs are also is used by Samba, users start @ uid 1000. Boxes are in the same both DNS and Samba domains. Do I treat these users as system or virtual users from postfix/dovecot perspective? If it can be a matter of choice then which is better/best? many thanks.

The first bonehead maneuver seems to be: location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/virtual I'm thinking it should be: location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual But...it didn't seem to make a difference. And if I have the "virtual" folder tree under a location other than "/var/mail/domain/user/mdbox/mailboxes" no names appear - so I think I have the files in the right place.

Virtual Mailboxes

Having some trouble with my first attempt at virtual mailboxes. I've enabled the plugin in 10-mail.conf, added a virtual namespace, and created the dovecot-virtual files in the folders. I see the folder names in the list when I refresh the folders available for subscription - but the folders cannot be subscribed to and I can't view their contents.

Dovecot 2.2.16: disappearing messages, mismatched summaries, duplicated messages, excessive full re-downloads
by David Gessel 20 Jun '15

20 Jun '15

My Dovecot 2.2.16 server is interacting poorly with a variety of mail clients. The symptoms include disappearing messages, mismatched summaries, duplicated messages, and excessive full re-downloads. Dovecot 2.2.16 on FreeBSD 10.1-release r280247M ZFS is interacting suboptimally with various email clients. Output of "dovecot -n" further down. *Client Artifacts* Thunderbird 31.6 Win 7 Ultimate SP1: - messages disappear and reappear with checks somewhat randomly. - Sometimes full re-download of folders is triggered, also seems random - Copies of messages appear, sometimes multiplying with each mail check up to about 5-8 or so of each message. - The summary information in the list pane doesn't match the message headers in the preview pane - quit and restart always cleans it up. - sometimes changing folders cleans it up, but not always - sometimes instigating a manual mail check cleans it up but not always Mulberry 4.08 Win 7 Ultimate SP1: - messages disappear and reappear - full re-scans of entire folders triggered occasionally when changing folders, but not always - message list filled with semi-blank entries (message number, status flags, and dates are listed, but no sender, subject, or body is available). The time stamps do not appear to be correct "date received". - message list fills with duplicates - the last of the set of duplicates, which are not necessarily sequentially numbered, has load-able body text and headers, but the others do not. There may be 3-5 copies, only one of which is the real message. The inbox is sequentially numbered by "message number" (the "natural order of the mailbox") and duplicates have unique numbers. - If there's a deleted message left, the "expunge" button is enabled and this also restores normal mailbox view. - disconnecting and reconnecting usually fixes the issues - changing mailboxes while connected sometimes fixes the issues. Claws 3.10.1 Win 7 Ultimate SP1 - initial load is correct, but once claws tries to sync mail, it locks up and never releases (even after days). Claws is weird like that. Sylpheed 3.4.2 Win 7 Ultimate SP1 - mail list always looks fine, but sometimes clicking a message shows "can't display" in the preview pane - "get messages" restores access to messages. Thunderbird 31.5 Linux Mint 17 Qaina 3.13.0-24-generic - messages disappear and reappear with checks somewhat randomly. - Sometimes full redownload of folders is triggered, also seems random - Copies of messages appear, sometimes multiplying with each mail check - The summary information in the list pane doesn't match the message headers in the preview pane - wrong message total (every other client agrees on 2576 but TB-linux says 3242, perhaps counting dups) Claws 3.9.3 Linux Mint 17 Qaina 3.13.0-24-generic - Occasionally shows "this message can't be displayed" - executing a "get mail" fixes the error K-9 5.004 Android 4.3 - messages appear and then disappear on the next check - message body is occasionally blank (only subject and arrival time appear, no body preview line, clicking on the message shows "no text" *Server artifacts:* dovecot.log shows runs of this error: Apr 15 09:02:37 imap(user(a)domain.com): Warning: Maildir /mail/domain.com/user//.Sent: Expunged message reappeared, giving a new UID (old uid=306286, file=1429102024.M826331P1156.host,S=1678,W=1724:2,S) or this error: Apr 15 10:04:00 indexer-worker(user(a)domain.com): Warning: Maildir /mail/domain.com/user//.Sent: Expunged message reappeared, giving a new UID (old uid=306803, file=1428785463.M645546P27215.host,S=5389,W=5442:2,S) # grep -c "Expunged message reappeared" dovecot.log.0 8981 The first entry in dovecot.log.0 is at Apr 15 10:00:12, and the last entry at Apr 15 12:00:13; Dovecot is logging 4,490 expunged message reappeared messages per hour.

I tried removing most of my customizations one by one and testing, but the problem has not been improved. I strongly suspect that the index files are getting thrashed or otherwise abused. I have no idea what's triggering whatever event is resulting in the thousands of expunged messages reappearing, but the client artifacts suggest a mismatch between cache or index files and files on disk: UID, keywords, and set date appear as if from cache but the body of the message does not. It seems as if the UID doesn't match a message on disk any more, which soon gets automatically fixed and everything syncs again until something re-triggers - a false expunge perhaps? Or perhaps the transaction log is suffering some sort of ongoing abuse? *dovecot -n* # dovecot -n # 2.2.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.7 # OS: FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE

I think reason was a damaged Index in ~username/mail/.imap/INBOX/ I removed this folder and immediately errors are gone and Mailbox was readable again. Never noticed this kind of errors for years on 2.1.17, maybe this helps to find a Bug in Code. Thanks, Hajo

Dovecot 2.1.9 shared folder deletion causes fault
by JT 19 Jun '15

19 Jun '15

Hey all, I'm getting a fault in dovecot (see below) using shared folders. I have a mailbox that receives new mail (Account X/INBOX). Another account (Account A) has access to the other account (Account X/INBOX) with ACL below. The ACL directory (.DEFAULT) contains: user=AccountA lrwst I removed a test email from Account A/INBOX, which is supposed to remove the email from Account X/INBOX. A fault occurs whenever my client (Thunderbird) attempts to connect and complete the deletion. Other actions complete successfully. It only appears to happen when using Thunderbird. Mac Mail does not cause the fault. I'm not getting a core dump so all I have is what the log outputs. I can reproduce this regularly so let me know if you need any additional information.

maildir, how to always add size tags to filename (,S=).
by Sergei Franco 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi There, I have thoroughly read through documentation and wiki and I simply cannot find how to force dovecot to always add the size tag to the filename when using maildir format. We are using dovecot 2.2.9 (whatever comes from ubuntu 14.04 LTS). We are using dovecot in conjunction with exim with maidirsize file enabled and maildir quotas. For example exim has following configuration: maildir_tag = ,S=$message_size Which adds the size to the filename of the message. This has enormous (orders of magnitude) performance benefit as to calculate quota one does not need to stat every single file (only getents for each directory). I have wrote a script that adds the size tag retrospectively to files it didn't had it, and rebuild the dovecot index/cache if changes where made. This worked fine. Behaviour of dovecot is very peculiar: it generally adds the ,S= tag (along with ,W= tag) but occasionally it does not (I wander if it depends on the IMAP client). Is there anyway to force dovecot to add size tag to the files (like with exim example above)? Thank you very much. Sergei.

Best practices for mailbox network file storage?
by Andy Csillag 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Is there a current best practice for a shared filesystem backend for mailboxes (in my case, all virtual accounts)? NFS 3/4, GFS2, GlusterFS, other? In the case of the latter ones, is the use of Director necessary? Any specific anti-recommendations? Also, if it matters, I *think* I want to use BackBlaze racks for storage. Also, I've seen recommendations for the filesystem underneath like XFS or ext4 or whatever. Is there a best practice? Thanks, Drew

Most of my users are virtual. Do I need defined namespaces or is the default undefined one OK?

LMTP with Postfix Problem
by Steve Matzura 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Here's a maillog entry that's one of many I receive when I try sending a test message to my system. The recipient is a virtual user in /etc/virtual. The way I'm expecting it to work is that my message from me to this Postfix virtual user will be sent back to me. Every time the message delivery is attempted, Dovecot says the LMTP directory doesn't exist. I thought it was created automatically as messages arrive. Jun 18 01:48:27 <machine-name> postfix/lmtp[30644]: 4CA5B8CB6: to=<postmaster@<my-domain>>, orig_to=<postmaster>, relay=none, delay=0.02, delays=0.02/0/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to <my-FQDN>[private/dovecot-lmtp]: No such file or directory)

Pigeonhole vacation from alias address
by Dino Blazeka 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi everyone. I've set up my instance not to check recipient address with sieve_vacation_dont_check_recipient=yes to enable users to set up their vacation script without listing addresses (there are to many). Only problem remaining is that when they receive an e-mail sent to their alias, the vacation response comes from their original mail address. Is there a setting or workaround that would enable vacation extension to send response with from field set to whichever address the original message was addressed to. Thank you in advance, Dino P. S. This is my first message to the list so I apologize in advance if I have broken any rules. It was not done intentionally

privilege of process executed by extprograms plugin
by Takahiro Yakoh 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi, I'm just a beginner of extprograms plugin of sieve. When I execute a process via execute or pipe command, the process start with "root" privilege. Why? I believe the process must be executed with recipient privilege. Give me some checkpoints, or hints, please. My setup is as follows: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS 64bit + dovecot-core, dovecot-sieve plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_execute_bin_dir = /some/where sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.execute +vnd.dovecot.pipe sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /some/where sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" postmaster_address = postmaster(a)some.where } Yakoh

bug in indexer/indexer-worker
by Infoomatic 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi, I have already mentioned this in http://www.dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2014-November/098592.html I could reproduce the errors above in a self-compiled v2.2.18 and the prebuilt packages from xi.rename-it.nl (in addition to version 2.2.15 mentioned in the link) The problem occurs when enabling fts_tika in the plugins (tried tika 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8). I tried to move a folder of my mailbox with about 2000 mails to my server (no users, modern hardware). At some point I get an error and from this time on dovecot keeps repeating the last lines with every mail that comes in ... see [1] I then get kernel syslog messages like in [2]. when I try to index all users (had another testuser) mailboxes with "doveadm index" I get the errors of [3]. The mailfolder does contain mails with attachments of all sorts, videos, office documents etc. When disabling fts_tika it works. dovecot -n output is [4] Could someone of the devs please have a look? best regards, infoomatic [1] Then comes the panic which produces loads of errormessages below the "Raw backtrace" part: Jun 16 10:11:08 testhost dovecot: indexer-worker(user1): Warning: I/O leak:

FTS lucene and english + german mails
by Felix Zielcke 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi, I'm currently looking over the FTS pages to enable it in my dovecot. But I'm unsure what the best settings of the lucene plugin are, if you receive german and english mails. Wiki says: textcat_conf=<path> textcat_dir=<path>: If specified, enable guessing the stemming language for emails and search keywords. This is a little bit problematic in practice, since indexing and searching languages may differ and may not find even exact words because they stem differently. On Debian libstemmer is included in the debian-lucene package. So what settings are the best to have not the problem that exact words can't be found?

SOLR 5
by Robert Gierzinger 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hello, I just wanted to give SOLR 5 a try, however there probably have changed quite some bits in the config files, did not even manage to create a core with various solrconfig.xml and schema.xml files, but I am absolutely no expert in solr. Has anybody given it a try or are there some tips on how to get it running? regards, Robert

dsync userdb and required fields?
by lejeczek 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

hi, I'm fiddling with dsync and get these in the logs: auth: Error: password(ps655@): Password data is not valid for scheme SSHA: Input isn't valid base64 encoded data .. auth: Error: ldap(ns580(a),172.25.12.215): ldap_search(base=ou=,ou=mail,dc=virtual,dc=hosting filter=(&(objectclass=person) .... This is on a dovecot that I'd call second, to which I'd like to replicate, first dovecot which is already populated with users, etc. does not show these errors. and I also have seen complains about possixAccunt I think. Do these mean that there is a base minimum required from dovecot/dsync in order to deem/find a user as a valid user? Also I can tell that those users do belong to different domain (not even this RDN) than the one in which the second dovecot is trying to look. These fields/attributes are nowhere defined/mentioned in my configs thus I wonder. many thanks

Imap process crashes when search in virtual mailbox

Mail to nowhere
by Steve Matzura 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

The next phase of my testing procedure involves the simple act of delivering mail to my test box. When I send a message to either a valid or relayed user at my remote machine's address, it never gets there. I know this virtually for sure because I'm tailing /var/log/maillog and nothing new has been added for the past hour. I'm thinking eventually my ISP will send the message back to me as undeliverable, and in that bounced message there may be some information about why it was undeliverable, but maybe someone has a thought as to why I'm not even seeing anything attempt to connect?

replication of a big mailbox
by Tim Kuijsten 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

I'm running dovecots replicator successfully on 33 mailboxes. There is only one mailbox (the biggest one, 167000 mails) that is not replicating successfully. After 10 minutes the "source" starts logging these messages: dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: dsync(imap.netsend.nl): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: Timeout during state=sync_mails (send=mail_requests recv=changes) dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: Remote command process isn't dying, killing it dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: kill(17459, SIGKILL) failed: Operation not permitted dovecot: doveadm: Error: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal. dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(foo(a)example.com): Error: Couldn't lock //.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 30 seconds dovecot: doveadm: Error: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal. dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(foo(a)example.com): Error: Couldn't lock //.dovecot-sync.lock: Timed out after 30 seconds The 30 seconds timeout keeps repeating, while the doveadm process on the destination keeps on going for hours and hours. Destination imap.netsend.nl is creating a lot of hardlinks (at least one hardlink per message) in .temp.... files. This takes about 1,5 hour, after that the number of hardlinks decline again. But it looks like the connection with source is already lost. I've patched the source to overcome the timeout by changing it from 10 minutes to 3 hours[1] but now I'm running into a memory error: dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: dsync(imap.netsend.nl): I/O has stalled, no activity for 10800 seconds dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: Timeout during state=sync_mails (send=done recv=mails) dovecot: dsync-local(foo(a)example.com): Error: mremap_anon(211677184) failed: Cannot allocate memory The allocate memory error shows up every 10 seconds.

Problem logging in during testing
by Steve Matzura 16 Jun '15

16 Jun '15

Instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/BasicConfiguration say the next thing to test after getting IMAP and Telnet working is to create a dummy user file with the following command: echo "$USER:{PLAIN}password:$UID:$GID::$HOME" > users And place it in /etc/dovecot and protect it appropriately. It was also edited to change the plain-text password from `password' to what it really is. The next section describes changes to 10-auth.conf and other things: If you used the example configuration files, switch to passwd-file by modifying conf.d/10-auth.conf: # Add '#' to comment out the system user login for now: #!include auth-system.conf.ext # Remove '#' to use passwd-file: !include auth-passwdfile.conf.ext In conf.d/auth-passwdfile.conf.ext you should have: passdb { driver = passwd-file args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users } Verify with doveconf -n passdb userdb that the output looks like above (and there are no other passdbs or userdbs). All done successfully. Now, when I telnet 127.0.0.1 143 and attempt to log in with the string: a login <any username> <any password> whether it's one in my users file or not, I get: a NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed.

What became of dovecot.passwd?
by Steve Matzura 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Since I've decided to go to version 2, which is a lot more difficult to set up because I have to look in a lot more places than I did with version 1.0.15, what do I do with the old dovecot/passwd or its contents? I see no references to it in any of the stuff in conf.d or doc/dovecot/wiki. As always, thanks in advance.

More about my SSL certificate problem
by Steve Matzura 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Someone, I don't remember whether it was Alex or Urban, asked me to check on my private keyfile to see if it began with "Begin RSA private key". I reported that it does not. Now here's where things get strange: When I ran the command: $ openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -sha1 -keyout myserver.key -out server.csr on an old Ubuntu system, `myserver.key' does begin with "Begin RSA private key". But when I run that same command on a Fedora 20 system, the word "RSA" isn't there. Could this have anything to do with my 0906D06C error?

dsync replication issues with shared mailboxes

Gentlemen, I've setup 2 servers with dsync replication and hit a serious issue - some messages got duplicated thousands times in some shared mailboxes(~5).

dovecot only partially indexing ... fts
by Infoomatic 14 Jun '15

14 Jun '15

hi, I have a setup using solr as fts, however it seems that when I move messages it does not automatically index the stuff. Also, when using sieve scripts to store messages in different folders I get: dovecot: indexer-worker(user): Indexed 0 messages in testfolder If I get a mail to normal INBOX I get dovecot: indexer-worker(user): Indexed 1 messages in INBOX doveadm index -u user '*' does the trick, however, I have set "fts_autoindex = yes" ... the relevant part of doveconf -n: mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib acl quota zlib fts fts_solr acl plugin { fts = solr fts_autoindex = yes fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8983/solr/ break-imap-search sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags } protocol lda { mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib sieve acl } protocol imap { mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib acl quota imap_acl imap_quota } is this normal behaviour or did I screw something up? TIA, infoomatic

LDA versus LMTP
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

My system has a great big four users. The Dovecot wiki says LMTP is more efficient, and someone on IRC told me I'd need it if I were ever to use sieve, which at this time I have no intention of doing. Should I stick with LDA, or just implement LMTP so I'm ready if ever I need it in the future? The bottom line is, it's unclear from the wiki how to explicitly specify use of one or the other, so that's my question.

Non-Existent Log File
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

My /var/log/maillog was getting pretty big because of lots of testing and re-configuring I've been doing lately with both Dovecot and Postfix. I figured just remove /var/log/maillog and it would be re-created. It wasn't--not by Dovecot, not by Postfix. I had to manually create a new one, put one character in it, save it, properly secure it with chmod, and then Dovecot (and postfix) messages got written to it. This can't possibly be the proper procedure to clear maillog messages ... can it?

Error when starting Dovecot
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

After applying some changes to 10-master.conf as detailed at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP I receive the following when trying to start: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 49: Expecting '{' I'm trying to enable LMTP. The instructions say: Socket configuration The actual socket is configured in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf. The LMTP service can be bound to both INET or Unix sockets. In this example a Unix socket is placed inside the Postfix spool with appropriate permissions set: service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } I copied this block and placed it in my copy of 10-master.conf. Line 49 is the first line of this block, and there's clearly a left-brace there. The braces match, too. Thoughts?

Imap Notify
by Tony Morehen 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

I'm trying to enable Imap Notify in Dovecot 2.2.13. I know that's a bit out of date, but that's what's provided with openSuSe 13.2. The first thing I did was add mailbox_list_index=yes to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. Both doveadm -n and dovecot -n show the change. I then used doveadm reload to force dovecot to reread its config file. Despite this, NOTIFY did not show up it Dovecot's capabilities: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. I then did a systemctl restart dovecot.service and still no luck: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. I also have noticed that the Maildirs of my various accounts include a dovecot.list.index file with a current timestamp, but no dovecot.list.index. So, where do I go for here?

1.0.15 gone, can't start version 2
by Steve Matzura 12 Jun '15

On advice/recommendation received on this list, I removed version 1.0.15 with: rm -rf /usr/local/dovecot However, now that I have version 2 properly installed, configured, and ready to start testing with Postfix, it appears the old version is still in /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/include, /usr/local/libexec, /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/shared/doc. Thinking that anything in /usr/local is something that was installed s a result of having built it from source (which 1.0.15 definitely was), should these also be removed?

That should give you a good idea about what's wrong with your setup. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=dovecot+ssl+setup# B
