Problems setting up SIS (duplicate files with same hash)
by Joe Beaubien 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to setup our next dovecot server (2.2.18) with SIS enabled, but I have enconutered 1 problem and 1 question: *1) Same attachment, different filenames* I have a feeling a misconfigured something (or forgot to do something) because SIS almost works, but not quite since 3 identical attachment take 3x the space (see end of email for my SIS config). For 3 the emails I sent with the same attachment, I got 3 seperate files with the same hash name but a different string following the dash: -rw------- 1 info info 2.6M Sep 5 11:14 e35083e3280a21c6aaabbae8cb23d54493f514a5-6a22711a7b05eb5509480000045c9bf4 -rw------- 1 info info 2.6M Sep 5 11:16 e35083e3280a21c6aaabbae8cb23d54493f514a5-6c22711a7b05eb5509480000045c9bf4 -rw------- 2 info info 2.6M Sep 5 11:18 e35083e3280a21c6aaabbae8cb23d54493f514a5-6e22711a7b05eb5509480000045c9bf4 drwx------ 2 info info 4.0K Sep 5 11:18 hashes For the record, the "hashes" subfolder has only 1 hash (e35083e3280a21c6aaabbae8cb23d54493f514a5) which perfectly matches the first part of the 3 filenames. *2) Saving attachments under a generic name or more flexible permissions?* It seems that dovecot saves the attachment with the username and group of the user who has received the email. Is it possible to have dovecot save the attachments as a generic user (like dovecot or dovenull) so that all my different users can share the same pool of attachments? Alternatively, is it possible to have dovecot save the attachment under more flexible permissions so that they can be shared between users? This would allow us to save alot of disk space. *Here is the SIS config I am using:* mail_attachment_dir = /data/emails/attachments #mail_attachment_min_size = 128k #mail_attachment_fs = sis posix #mail_attachment_hash = %{sha1} Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you, Joe B

Dovecot and IPA
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hello, I'm trying to get Dovecot to use GSSAPI for authentication. I have an IPA server on CentOS 7 with a bunch of my servers attached to the IPA domain, including the server running Dovecot. I've followed official documentation from Red Hat and read numerous wiki articles on how to configure Dovecot to get it to use GSSAPI correctly. I don't think I've done anything incorrectly, but it refuses to work. This is the error I'm seeing: mailman02 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use unsupported auth mechanism): user=<>, method=PLAIN, rip=1.1.1.1, lip=2.2.2.2, TLS, session=<QhWSqxofyAAKyAkM> I don't understand why no username is being passed. My mail client is Evolution 3.10.4. FYI, Dovecot does work fine using a user/password file. I'm just trying to switch it over to GSSAPI so that I can manage passwords from one system. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar R.S. Sandhu

Multiple vacation
by Michele Locati 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hi all I'm using Dovecot 2.2.9 and I'm having problems configuring multiple vacation actions. The problem is that I'd like to have two different senders and two different messages, selecting the correct case by the recipient email address. I mean, if someone writes me to my email address "to-address1(a)example.com" I'd like to answer from "from-address1(a)example.com" with the message "TEST 1". If someone writes me to my email address "to-address2(a)example.com" I'd like to answer from "from-address2(a)example.com" with the message "TEST 2". Here's my script: require ["fileinto","vacation"]; vacation :addresses ["to-address1(a)example.com"] :from " from-address1(a)example.com" text: TEST 1 . ; } vacation :addresses ["to-address2(a)example.com"] :from " from-address2(a)example.com" text: TEST 2 . ; But the vacation filter doesn't work, and I see this message in the log file: main script: line X: error: duplicate vacation action not allowed (previously triggered one was here: main script: line Y). Is there a way to allow multiple vacation actions? Thank you Michele

Public folder subscriptions with Outlook
by Paul Tansom 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

This is more an Outlook issue than Dovecot, but given that it is connected to Dovecot I figured there would be a good pool of knowledge here that increases the likelihood that somebody knows the answer :) I have a Dovecot server setup with a public folder and keep getting complaints that Outlook users don't see new folders created by other people. In Thunderbird it is simply a case of unchecking the box to only show subscribed folders, but I can't find a way to do this in Outlook. The only thing I can think of is putting a script on the server to check for new folders and update each users subcriptions file, but I'm not completely happy with that solution! Any suggestions welcome. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | https://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 Vice Chair, FSB Portsmouth & SE Hampshire Branch | http://www.fsb.org.uk/ ============================================================================= Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Ralls House, Parklands Business Park, Forrest Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6XP

Different behavior of ACLs in MUA and doveadm
by Thomas Leuxner 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

I have noticed a difference in the behavior of ACLs. When used in a MUA the following global ACL works fine and has the desired effect - new mailboxes can be created by a user being part of the 'PublicMailboxAdmins' group: [ global-acl: ] INBOX owner lrwstiekxap Public/* group=PublicMailboxAdmins lrwsipk Public/* anyone lr Public/* authenticated lrws Creating the same mailbox via doveadm however fails with a permission problem: doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=public, prefix=Public/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=no location=mdbox:/var/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=~/mdbox/public doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/public, index=, indexpvt=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/public, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 0 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=Virtual/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=virtual:~/mdbox/virtual doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/virtual, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 1 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Error: Can't create mailbox Public/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014: Permission denied Interestingly, doveadm succeeds when dovecot-acl is present in the namespace root - which of course is not desirable in the light of the global ACL: [ dovecot-acl: ] group=PublicMailboxAdmins lrwsipk doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=public, prefix=Public/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=no location=mdbox:/var/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=~/mdbox/public doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/public, index=, indexpvt=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/public, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 0 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=Virtual/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=virtual:~/mdbox/virtual doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: fs: root=/var/vmail/domains/leuxner.net/tlx/mdbox/virtual, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile:/var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl:cache_secs=300 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: acl username = tlx(a)leuxner.net doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl: owner = 1 doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACL file: /var/vmail/conf.d/leuxner.net/global-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: reading file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/dovecot-acl doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace Public/: /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014 doesn't exist yet, using default permissions doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: Namespace Public/: Using permissions from /var/vmail/public: mode=0700 gid=default doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found doveadm(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Debug: acl vfile: file /var/vmail/public/mailboxes/Archive/Newsletters/heise-security/2014/dbox-Mails/dovecot-acl not found # 2.2.15 (6078354e6238): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf I know there have been some changes in Mercurial as to how global ACLs are interpreted. Is doveadm probably behind on them? Regards Thomas

Fetch command response questions
by Vlad Pop 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hello, I have the following issue: When using command FETCH 2 (BODY.PEEK[HEADER] UID INTERNALDATE FLAGS BODYSTRUCTURE) on 2 different emails, we get 2 different response structure. First response structure contains the BODYSTRUCTURE in a single line, while in the second response, the BODYSTRUCTURE is divided into multiple lines with "{61}" character at the end of each line. The difference between those 2 emails is the name of some attachments. The attachment is an .eml file named "Re: [SR-Users] Keep-Alive in dialog "freeing a free fragment"" Is this a sort of bug or is it correct to receive the BODYSTRUCTURE on multiple lines? Vlad Pop

segfault when using zlib module with glibc 2.22
by Florian Pritz 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hi, I'm seeing the following segfault when I run `doveadm search mailbox inbox` with the zlib module enabled with dovecot 2.18 and glibc 2.22 on Arch Linux. It does not happen with glibc 2.21. I've noticed that when I remove "zlib" from the mail_plugins line at the beginning of the config file the segfault goes away. I've also tested hg tip and the problem does not appear to be fixed yet. The segfault also happens with other commands like `doveadm purge`. Do you need any more information to reproduce and fix this?

File permissions: system groups for do not work for group/shared mailboxes
by Jens Kirchner 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hello! I am struggling to set up a group mailbox for users of a certain system group. I want to grant access to the mailbox on a filesystem mode by using the system groups. The problem, the set up works fine and when I use setfacl and grant permissions too each user manually, it works fine. However, I want to use a system user's group membership in order to grant access to these mailboxes insted of manually granting for each user. dovecot version: 2.2.9 This is the config part: namespace { location = maildir:/data/mail/public:LAYOUT=fs prefix = GROUP-MAILBOXES/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } ... passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } ... userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } filesystem permissions (getfacl): # file: GroupboxA/ # owner: root # group: root user::rwx user:user1:rwx group::rwx mask::rwx other::--- default:user::rwx default:user:user1:rwx default:group::rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::--- # file: GroupboxB/ # owner: root # group: root user::rwx group::rwx group:group1:rwx mask::rwx other::--- default:user::rwx default:group::rwx default:group:group1:rwx default:mask::rwx default:other::--- user1 is in roup1 When setting username-based permissions (GroupboxA), the mailbox is usable and subsribable; when setting groupname-based permissions (GroupboxB) it is not subscribable/usable. Thanks for your help in advance and best regards, Jens

bug in acl_defaults_from_inbox option
by Marco Giunta 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hi at all, there is a bug in in acl_defaults_from_inbox option: if you define it with ANY value ('yes', 'no', 'whatyouwant', 'xxx') it acts like the value is ALWAYS 'yes', and Dovecot enable it; the only way to disable it, is comment it or delete from configuration file. With 'acl_defaults_from_inbox = no', or 'acl_defaults_from_inbox = whatyouwant', all my folders get ACLs from INBOX; in my case I want to only share INBOX, but also all other folders were shared. When you comment 'acl_defaults_from_inbox', Dovecot works like expected.

Patch for "doveadm -f table" nit (was Re: Dovecot current number of connections being used.)
by Joseph Tam 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

> doveadm who -1 2>/dev/null | wc -l You have to redirect stderr to /dev/null because that's where the first header line is written to. The default format style (table) is inconsistent with the other formats (flow,pager,tab) that write headers and data to stdout. The following patch will pick this nit. This patch will require modifications to scripts that rely on doveadm writing headers to stderr. For example, the above doveadm command could be modified to doveadm who -1 | grep -vc '^username' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- a/dovecot-2.2.16.rc1/src/doveadm/doveadm-print-table.c Wed Mar 18 15:40:40 2015 +++ b/dovecot-2.2.16.rc1/src/doveadm/doveadm-print-table.c Wed Mar 18 15:41:18 2015 @@ -151,3 +151,3 @@ for (i = 0; i < count; i++) { - if (i > 0) fprintf(stderr, " "); + if (i > 0) printf(" "); @@ -155,3 +155,3 @@ DOVEADM_PRINT_HEADER_FLAG_RIGHT_JUSTIFY) == 0) { - fprintf(stderr, "%-*s", (int)headers[i].length, + printf("%-*s", (int)headers[i].length, headers[i].title); @@ -158,3 +158,3 @@ } else { - fprintf(stderr, "%*s", (int)headers[i].length, + printf("%*s", (int)headers[i].length, headers[i].title); @@ -162,3 +162,3 @@ } - fprintf(stderr, "\n"); + printf("\n"); } -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Re: Null deference pointer in dovecot-2.2.18
by 吴迪 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Dear, use our static analysis tools, I find some bugs (Null deference pointer) for dovecot-2.2.18. Null deference pointer bugs often make program crashes, Please confim them, Thanks! 1. dovecot-2.2.18/src/config/config-request.c 332 'setting_export_section_name(ctx->prefix, def, children[i], i);', pointer 'children' in line 202 assigned NULL and if branch 'case SET_DEFLIST_UNIQUE' not execute, so pointer 'children' is always NULL. It load to a bug of null deference pointer In line 332. The same bugs also appeared in : 1. dovecot-2.2.18/src/lib-index/mail-index-fsck.c line 170 or 174, pointer 'kw_rec ' mybe NULL. 2.dovecot-2.2.18/src/lib-storage/mail-search-args-simplify line 349, pointer 'prev_arg' mybe NULL. best wishes~ Amy

RFC 5465 (NOTIFY) violation: missing HIGHESTMODSEQ in initial STATUS responses
by Guilhem Moulin 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Quoting RFC 5465 (NOTIFY): “If the NOTIFY command enables MessageNew, MessageExpunge, AnnotationChange, or FlagChange notifications for a mailbox other than the currently selected mailbox, and the client has specified the STATUS indicator parameter, then the server MUST send a STATUS response for that mailbox before NOTIFY's tagged OK. […] If either AnnotationChange or FlagChange are included and the server also supports the CONDSTORE [RFC4551] and/or QRESYNC [RFC5162] extensions, the STATUS response MUST contain UIDVALIDITY and HIGHESTMODSEQ.” — https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5465#section-3.1 While unsolicited STATUS responses include HIGHESTMODSEQ indeed, the initial STATUS responses (caused by the presence of the STATUS indicator) do not: ~$ /usr/lib/dovecot/imap * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 … CONDSTORE QRESYNC … NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE] Logged in as guilhem a ENABLE QRESYNC * ENABLED QRESYNC a OK Enabled (0.000 secs). b NOTIFY SET STATUS (SUBSCRIBED (MessageNew MessageExpunge FlagChange)) * STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES 9069 UIDNEXT 109398 UIDVALIDITY 1312585007 UNSEEN 0) […] b OK NOTIFY completed (0.008 secs). [time passes… a new message is delivered to INBOX] * STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES 9070 UIDNEXT 109399 UNSEEN 1 HIGHESTMODSEQ 22216) This defeats the purpose of the STATUS indicator for disconnected clients since they have to issue separate STATUS commands (or a LIST command if LIST-{EXTENDED,STATUS} have been advertized) to find out which mailboxes have got a new HIGHESTMODSEQ. Cheers, -- Guilhem.

Here is an example with APPEND $ /usr/lib/dovecot/imap S1: * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 … MOVE NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE] Logged in as guilhem C1: a1 NOTIFY SET (INBOXES (MessageNew MessageExpunge FlagChange)) S1: a1 OK NOTIFY completed (0.000 secs) $ /usr/lib/dovecot/imap S2: * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 … MOVE NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE] Logged in as guilhem C2: a2 APPEND INBOX {1+} C2: x S2: a2 OK [APPENDUID 1384472528 26085] Append completed (0.229 secs). With 2.13 from Debian Jessie, S1 sends a notification for the new message in INBOX, as expected: S1: * STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES 4333 UIDNEXT 26086 UNSEEN 1) However it doesn't with 2.18 from Debian Sid, as if ‘INBOX’ was excluded from the mailbox filter ‘INBOXES’. It does send a notification for ‘virtual/unseen’ instead (as expected), but nothing for ‘INBOX’. S1: * STATUS virtual/unseen (MESSAGES 3 UIDNEXT 15186 UNSEEN 3) This is INBOX-specific because APPENDING the message to another mailbox triggers the notification on both 2.13 and 2.18 as expected: S1: * STATUS test (MESSAGES 2 UIDNEXT 3 UNSEEN 2) S1: * STATUS virtual/unseen (MESSAGES 2 UIDNEXT 15195 UNSEEN 2) I attach the ‘dovecot -n’ output for both 2.13 and 2.18. -- Guilhem.

"NOTIFY SET (mailboxes INBOX (...))" crashes the IMAP client

Hi list, The NOTIFY extension (RFC 5465) works fine for mailboxes in the "virtual/" namespace, but it crashes the IMAP client when used with a mailbox in the empty "" namespace: ~$ /usr/lib/dovecot/imap * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 … NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE] Logged in as guilhem a NAMESPACE * NAMESPACE (("" "/")("virtual/" "/")) NIL NIL a OK Namespace completed. b NOTIFY SET (mailboxes virtual/all (MessageNew MessageExpunge)) b OK NOTIFY completed (0.001 secs). c NOTIFY SET (mailboxes INBOX (MessageNew MessageExpunge)) imap(guilhem): Panic: file mail-namespace.c: line 679 (mail_namespace_find): assertion failed: (ns != NULL) imap(guilhem): Error: Raw backtrace: … Aborted The "subtree" mailbox filter has the same problem, but the non-parameterized ones ("inboxes", "personal" and "subscribed") work fine.

question on autch cache parameters
by matthias lay 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

Hi list, I have a question on auth caching in 2.2.18. I am using acl_groups for a master user, appended in a static userdb file # snip ############################### master@uma:{SHA}XXXX=::::::userdb_acl_groups=umareadmaster allow_nets=127.0.0.1 # snap ############################### and use this group in a global ACL file. I discovered this only works on first NOT-cached login environment in imap-postlogin script on first login: AUTH_TOKEN=e96b5a32ceb2cafc4460c210ad2e92e3d7ab388c MASTER_USER=master@uma SPUSER=private/pdf LOCAL_IP=127.0.0.1 USER=pdf AUTH_USER=master@uma PWD=/var/run/dovecot USERDB_KEYS=ACL_GROUPS HOME SPUSER MASTER_USER AUTH_TOKEN AUTH_USER SHLVL=1 HOME=/var/data/vmail/private/pdf ACL_GROUPS=umareadmaster IP=127.0.0.1 _=/usr/bin/env on the second cached login it looks like this AUTH_TOKEN=12703b11932f233520f6d4b33559c33aeb1cfc7f MASTER_USER=master@uma SPUSER=private/pdf LOCAL_IP=127.0.0.1 USER=pdf AUTH_USER=master@uma PWD=/var/run/dovecot USERDB_KEYS=HOME SPUSER MASTER_USER AUTH_TOKEN AUTH_USER SHLVL=1 HOME=/var/data/vmail/private/pdf IP=127.0.0.1 _=/usr/bin/env so the ACL_GROUPS is gone. is this intended to be like that. so groups not included in cache and I have to find another approach? anybody else encountered similar problems with some auth Variables and caching?

doveadm quota recalc problem for domain
by Samuel 06 Sep '15

06 Sep '15

Hello, I've set up user quota and domain quota for dict SQL and all seems OK. New mail for user increase the user quota and the domain quota. Deleting email count down user quota and domain quota. But in case of SQL failure, I'm trying to rebuild the user quota and domain quota with doveadm quota recalc. The problem is that the command : 'doveadm quota recalc -u foo@bar' sets the domain quota only with user foo@bar even when I try a domain quota recalc : doveadm quota recalc -A or doveadm quota recalc -u *@bar (only one user is taken in account for the domain quota and not all the user). The domain SQL database is broken with value of only one user for the whole domain quota. So how to achieve rebuild domain quota correctly with doveadm ? Thanks a lot. Samuel.

Mailbox can't be created

Hi, I have setup postfix master.cf to use dovecot-lda to deliver (using -m) all messages to PreInbox: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -a ${recipient} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -m PreINBOX And enabled lda_mailbox_autocreate.

Considerations for a not so simple set-up ...
by Lars Hanke 05 Sep '15

05 Sep '15

I want to set up a new IMAP server with Dovecot, so far I've been running Cyrus. I'm running dovecot on Debian Jessie. The general idea of the system would be: 1) Virtual users, i.e. login users are disjoint from any mail accounts. 2) Real-Users authenticate using their kerberos tickets. 3) There is a n-to-n mapping of real to virtual users. 4) Maildirs shall be stored on glusterfs. 5) Fallback passwords for cloud access Concerning 1) and 2) I keep reading that this is possible, but I could not find any concise and current description. I'd welcome pointers to howtos. Concerning 3) this should be a matter of ACL, e.g. a single real user (kerberos pricipal) may have several mail-boxes (virtual users), and groups of real users may share the same mail-box. I have a faint idea, how this could be done in Cyrus (but never did that), but I read that these features should exist in Dovecot as well. But I'm completely lost to even figure out a starting point. I appreciate any keywords for further reading. Concerning 4) I read that there are some issues using NFS. Are there any caveats when using gluster? Concerning 5) Users logging in from outside may not have TGT on their notebooks, which by design should run as stand-alone. They should nevertheless be able to access their mail. I currently think of another set of real users, but anything less messy is welcome. Did someone try something similar, already? Thanks for your help, - lars.

'doveadm expunge' with -A and userdb { driver = passwd }
by Grant 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

I'm expunging mail in my crontab like this: doveadm search -u user1 mailbox INBOX.Trash savedbefore 30d doveadm search -u user2 mailbox INBOX.Trash savedbefore 30d doveadm search -u user3 mailbox INBOX.Trash savedbefore 30d ... I'd rather do this: doveadm search -A mailbox INBOX.Trash savedbefore 30d but I'm told not to: "If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for all users. Using this option in combination with system users from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured with the first_valid_uid setting." I'm using userdb { driver = passwd-file } but I'm guessing that's the same thing. Am I understanding this correctly? - Grant

apple mail fails to connect intermittently
by Eric Smith 04 Sep '15

04 Sep '15

Hi (New to dovecot) I am experiencing intermittent connection failures with both apple mail and ios mail. No specific errors and I cannot find relevant information on the mac logs or on my server. It spontaneously corrects. restarting dovecot - no dice It just happened now (again), this time there might have been a reason, I just dovecot-lda'd some large mailboxes from mbox to Maildir. But as I said, it spontaneously corrects, so is downloading now. While this connection error is occurring, then I can connect to dovecot via a remote mutt session, via web imap client and via outlook. Is this a known issue? FWIW: % doveconf -n # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.19.0-26-generic i686 Ubuntu 15.04 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes 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 } mailbox virtual/All { special_use = \All } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)biovolt.nl protocols = " imap lmtp" ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { info_log_path = /tmp/dovecot-deliver.log log_path = /tmp/dovecot-deliver-errors.log } Thanks Eric

Reviving an old thread: "requiring client certificates for external connections"
by Robert Giles 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

Hi folks - reviving an old thread from 2010: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-December/055837.html We're basically looking to do the same thing: require client certificates for external connections, while preserving certificate-less username/password authentication for internal connections. Any tips on the best way to accomplish this? 'ssl_verify_client_cert = yes' can go within a local {} block, but it doesn't seem to force the client to submit a certificate. Thanks in advance - Robert Giles

new server
by Franc 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

I am going to build a new box (2-3.000 users, 4-500 domains name (50-100 real, remaining used as redirect on the main (.it,.eu,.com,...)) . Is there any how-to or similar to follow for build an updated system? (My current boxes are based on CentoOS 6.x using included Dovecot + PostFix .rpms) I am thinking to CentOS 7.x + Dovecot + PostFix + RoundCube + Squirrel + procmail with unix users and virtual users. But I admit that systemd isn't still my best friend ... :-) In CentOS 7.x there is a default dovecot-2.2.10. Is it enough Ok or better use different rpms source? Any hints is welcomed :-) Thanks, F.

sieve filtering utf 8 strings
by Sergey Schwartz 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

Guys, I'm completely stuck, so asking for advice. My user has a sieve script which checks message header if it contains words in russian like 'Лист бронирования отправлен'. Pritty simple script # rule:[Отправлено] if allof (header :contains "subject" "LDS (robot): Лист бронирования отправлен", header :contains "from" "noreply(a)bgoperator.com") { fileinto "Отправлено"; } I don't have errors compiling the script or executing it via LMTP, but it doesn't work. Normally user receives messages from robot with subject encoded as quoted-printable Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?LDS_(robot):_=D0=9B=D0=B8=D1=81=D1=82?= =?UTF-8?Q?_=D0=B1=D1=80=D0=BE=D0=BD=D0=B8=D1=80=D0=BE=D0=B2=D0=B0=D0=BD?= =?UTF-8?Q?=D0=B8=D1=8F__=D0=BE=D1=82=D0=BF=D1=80=D0=B0=D0=B2=D0=BB=D0=B5?= When I send a test message via Thunderbird with required words - sieve works fine and subject is encoded in base64 Subject: =?UTF-8?B?0JvQuNGB0YIg0LHRgNC+0L3QuNGA0L7QstCw0L3QuNGPINC+0YLQv9GA?= =?UTF-8?B?0LDQstC70LXQvQ==?= It is the same text, but encodind is different - base 64 works fine and quoted-printable does not. Is it possible to have both supported for sieve ? -- Best regards, Sergey Schwartz Senior System Administrator Biblio Globus Tour Operator www.bgoperator.ru T: +7 495 5042500 ext 1532 E: sergey.schwartz(a)bgoperator.com

Where Dovecot stores the information, that I had unsubscribed from this folder? I need this to analyze subscriptions over all mail acounts. Thank you, Miloslav

more than two way replication
by djk 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

Is there anyway of replicating between more than one other instance of Dovecot. I have bidirectional replication working successfully and it seems to be reliable. I would like to replicate from one or more of these instances to one other. Is this possible? Dirk

imap segfaults when using antispam plugin, and moving mail to an 'unsure' folder.
by Andrew McN 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

I put up a question on serverfault first, which has the details, including a stack trace: http://serverfault.com/questions/713687/dovecot-antispam-error-storing-mail . Details also copied below. Is this a known bug? If I built dovecot from source rather than using the Ubuntu 14.04 packages, would I expect that to help? Are there any configuration details that might be relevant? (dovecot -n output shown Any help much appreciated. Andrew McNaughton Details on the serverfault page repeated below, plus a little more. ----------------------------------------------------- Ubuntu 14.04.3 x86_64 Running inside lxc-docker 1.7.0 dovecot-imapd 1:2.2.9-1ubuntu2 dovecot-antispam 2.0+20130822-2build1 Filesystem is via docker, so aufs is involved, and under that on the host systems is ext4 ----------------------------------------------------- I know mail is not supposed to be moved into a mailbox of type 'unsure'.

doveadm-server hangs with 100% cpu usage
by Dennis Kuhn 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

we have some replication issues. From time to time a doveadm-server process takes 100% cpu in the state recv_mailbox_tree_deletes on the replica. The process runs forever until it is manually killed. Strace on this process doesn't show anything. Sometimes we have several doveadm-server processes in this state, all for the same account, all with 100% CPU Load. The logfile on the master says: Error: Timeout during state=recv_mailbox_tree Error: dsync(dobby5.heinlein-support.de): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds My workaround is to delete the user directory on the replica so that the whole account is replicated again. This solves the problem for this specific account. The dovecot version is 2.2.15 on the master and 2.2.16 on the replica.

Moving mails from shared folder to shared folder doesn't work
by Peer Heinlein 02 Sep '15

02 Sep '15

Hi, having the attached configuration with Dovecot 2.2.9, Dovecot's crashing when moving a mail from a shared folder into another shared folder. Moving that mail into a "real" folder of the user or moving that mail from a real folder into the shared folder is always working. But moving from a shared folder into a shared folder doesn't work.

Single Instance Storage after the fact
by Joe Beaubien 01 Sep '15

01 Sep '15

Hi everyone, I tried to find info about this online, but I couldn't find anything talking specifically about what I am trying to accomplish. I am sending and receiving the same attachments pretty often and as a result my email accounts are growing much more rapidly than I would like. *My goal* is to set up a second instance of Dovecot with SIS enabled and transfer everything over to this new Dovecot setup. I was thinking of simply running a dsync backup from the old instance and then a dsync backup -R on the new instance with SIS. Would this effectively create a new set of mailboxes without attachments (and a new folder full of attachments)? If not, can someone point me to information on how to accomplish this? Best regards, Joe B.

Post-migration questions
by Grant 29 Aug '15

29 Aug '15

I just migrated from courier-imap to dovecot and dovecot is a lot faster. My only client is webmail on the same server as dovecot. Max ~10 users. Should I still run imapproxy like I did with courier? Does dovecot periodically empty the trash folder like courier does? I reduced the number of processes courier was running to save RAM and improve performance. Are there any performance tweaks I should consider for dovecot? - Grant

IMAP hibernate feature committed
by Timo Sirainen 29 Aug '15

29 Aug '15

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/64c73e6bd397 Today I finally committed the "imap-hibernate" feature that I first started developing about a year ago (and had been thinking about for several years before that). The main purpose here is to reduce the number of imap processes and the amount of memory they use by moving IDLEing connections into imap-hibernate processes where they are waiting for something to happen (changes to the mailbox or IMAP client to do something). Mailbox changes are noticed only if inotify/kqueue is enabled, so without them the hibernation feature won't work well. For now only the IMAP connections that are in IDLE can be hibernated. In theory non-IDLEing connections could also be hibernated, but the main problem here is that if EXPUNGEs can't be sent at the time the hibernation is over, the current code can't handle it. They would require recreating a view that contains such expunged messages, which could be possible with some extra work. Some IMAP extensions aren't supported yet: - NOTIFY: This would just need to import/export the NOTIFY state. Also hibernation could be done at any time if VANISHED replies could be sent to the selected mailbox. - SEARCH=CONTEXT: A bit more troublesome extension to support. I'm not sure how big the trouble would be. It's rarely used though. - COMPRESS: The [de]compression code would need to be moved to login process instead of being done in imap-compress plugin. This would be a larger change, although it's also useful for various other purposes. The hibernation can be enabled for now simply by setting imap_hibernate_timeout setting to non-zero, which controls how long to wait after client has issued IDLE (and nothing happens) until the process hibernates. Some future work might include: - Moving the hibernation all the way to the first Dovecot proxy layer to avoid the need for imap-hibernate process at all. (Also moving the COMPRESS handling all the way there.) - Dynamically adjusting when the client should be hibernated instead of just a fixed imap_hibernate_timeout setting. Especially try to avoid such a situation where the hibernation is almost always terminated soon after it started. Although that probably is unlikely, so maybe not worth the trouble to prevent.. - Hibernation could be used to control the load of the server. If it's running too slow or if there are already too many imap processes, some of the connections could be moved to hibernation stage. Or just kept in hibernation for a while longer even after the imap process would normally be recreated (e.g. wait for several minutes before reporting new emails, or several seconds before replying to DONE). - The EXPUNGE/VANISHED and FETCH FLAGS replies aren't sent asynchronously, but instead fully buffered to the output buffer. This works as long as the list of changes after hibernation isn't huge, but otherwise it's wasting a lot of memory. - Maybe support non-inotify/kqueue change notifications from lib-storage. This could be complicated though to do efficiently. Or a simple way would be to just send a UDP or UNIX datagram packet on all changes to all the imap-hibernate processes and see if anybody cares about those. I'm not sure how efficient that would be.

Dovecot proxy and password scheme updating
by efs efefsfse 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Hello, I run a dovecot proxy (which is doing authentification itself) and a dovecot backend on separate boxes. I want to change the actual password scheme. Since postlogin scripting is not supported by proxies and %w variable is not forwaded to dovecot backend is there any way that I can update the password scheme with my current setup ? Thanks in advance.

Allow delivery to existing accounts only with LDAP and static
by Miloslav Hůla 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Hi, we are using LDAP binding as a passdb, and static with allow_all_users=yes as an userdb. Works fine, but problem is, Maildirs are created for non-existent accounts too. We would like to prevent it. The LDAP binding does not supporta user lookups. Is the correct way to use checkpassword as a passdb before LDAP, check for account existency here and: result_success=continue result_failure=return-fail ? Thank you, regards, Miloslav

Merging maildirs
by Petter Gunnerud 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Hi List How do I merge files from one maildir into another maildir? Long version: I've been using dovecot/postfix for a 12 user environment for several years, and today was the first time I ran into an issue I could not solve from reading the documentation. The server is gentoo running on esxi. A few times a year I've made a snapshot of the server and copied the files to my home esxi server as a full system backup. 5 days ago the internet connection at the office broke, and I decided to power on the last copy of the server at my home and change public dns so that users could access their new mails via webmail from this spare server. (I didn't allow imap through firewall.) Now the network at the office is back. DNS is updated so that mails are delivered to the office server again. But all the mails sent / received during those 5 days is only at my house. How can I merge those into the office server?I'd like to do this as a server administrator. I do not want to have each user forward the mails to them self from the temporarily webmail. I tried to just copy the mail files on my own account - like I did once when I used courier-imap, but that did not work with dovecot. I hope someone has an idea of how to solve this.

Duplicate folder names
by Paulo Matos 26 Aug '15

26 Aug '15

Hi, I have setup message filtering and for example, I might move a message which a given sender to folder special/. This folder is created and shows up twice in INBOX/special/ and special/. They are however exactly the same folder. If I subscribe to one I am automatically subscribed to the other and viceversa. Not too happy with this configuration. I have a feeling this is related to namespaces but I am not sure in which way to configure things in order to have only INBOX/special but not special/. How can I set this up. My current configuration is: $ dovecot -n # 2.2.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.1.0-x86_64-linode59 x86_64 Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two) ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = yes default_internal_user = root imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } namespace inbox { location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } postmaster_address = pmatos protocols = imap quota_full_tempfail = yes service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = $default_internal_user } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes driver = static } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ log_path = /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 100 } Regards, Paulo Matos

Store ACL files within shared mailbox / rename shared folder problem
by Chris Laif 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

Hi. If $otheruser shares a mailbox to $myuser, my private index is stored in *my* Maildir, according to this template (from the dovecot docs): mail_location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEXPVT=%h/Maildir/shared/%%u If $otheruser renames the shared mailbox, all my private mail flags (Seen) are lost because my mailclient couldn't find the private index anymore. Is there any way to store the private index within the shared mailbox? If $otheruser renames the mailbox, the index will be 'migrated' as well. Something like this: /data/mails/$otheruser/Maildir/.MagicSharedFolder/shared/$myuser.dovecot.index.pvt.log I see no way on how to do craft a INDEXPVT for this. Kind regards, Chris

Hello ! I've installed iRedMail on an Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 I'm not the only one on the iRedMail forum to have the problem, but the developpers of iRedMail doesn't found the problem and advice me to ask you directly.

IMAP Folder Mail Separator
by Alex 23 Aug '15

23 Aug '15

Hi, I have a fedora21 install with dovecot-2.2.18, and when creating a new subfolder with thunderbird, the actual folder name is "Folder1^Folder2" with a carat as a separator, instead of creating Folder2 in the Folder1 directory. Is this a thunderbird problem? I don't recall having this problem prior to upgrading to fedora21, so thought maybe it's a dovecot problem. Maybe the separator character is customizable? Thanks, Alex

migrating servers
by chris 23 Aug '15

23 Aug '15

Hi I am trying to migrate from a Centos dovecot 1.0.7 install to a debian dovecot 2.1.7 install. I thought simply replicating the maildirs would be fine (using rsync) but when I fetch mail from the new server using IMAP thunderbird wants to download all the messages again as duplicates. I searched the wiki over to see if I could find a solution and while it appeared I could use doveadm backup that seems to only work pushing changes from the new server to the old (wrong direction) and that program does not exist on the earlier version of dovecot on the old server. If I can be very blunt the documentation on the wiki assumes far too much knowledge from the reader. It is often hard to decipher exactly what is meant by many of the obtuse instructions. But that is an aside can anyone give me pointers on how to do this migration for all my users so they don't need to sort through hundreds of duplicated emails? Chris

OK, I obviously forgot something when setting up new user accounts (which I did via postfix admin to add them to the MySQL database): dovecot: lda(chance(a)example.com): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': Ambiguous mail location setting, don't know what to do with it: /usr/local/virtual/chance@ example.com (try prefixing it with mbox: or milder:) I have lots of mysql users defined and working, but do I need to manually create the mail store for new ones?

logging into user mailboxes with admin credentials
by Noam Birnbaum 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

Hey folks, We are planning a migration away from Dovecot (sorry) to Google Apps and are trying to figure out how to migrate the contents of user mailboxes to the new provider. Normally we would use an IMAP migration tool to log into each user's mailbox on the old and new providers and transfer the data that way. However, there is no central directory service; all accounts are local. We have a large number of users and for both management and security reasons it's not feasible to compile a list of all IMAP passwords. Is there a way to log into user IMAP accounts on Dovecot using a central administrative credential? Thanks!

NFSv4 delegation
by brd 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

hi all, i'm managing a large installation of a dovecot cluster in director + NFS backend architecture and we are moving from NFSv3 to NFSv4. Our NFS server is a Netapp in clustered mode and reading technical specs of NFSv4 delegation feature it seems that enabling delegation in this type of dovecot architecture should bring great benefits: only one backend server access a specific mailbox at a time (even deliveries are managed by director hashing via LMTP) so the getattr rpc calls should decrease significantly while the risk of conflicting delegations is very low (impacting negatively on the benefits obtainable). Can anyone confirm this hypothesis? I've heard that the linux implementation of NFSv4 delegation is mature only for read delegation (and not yet for write delegation): is this true? And, if true, could this fact limit the benefits of activating NFS delegation feature? Best regards -brd

multiple messages per second to a single mailbox
by Chad M Stewart 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

Dovecot 2.2.18 on CentOS 6 I have a pair of servers setup with MySQL, Postfix, and Dovecot. Replication is setup and working between the two dovecot instances. The problem I'm running into is that a single mailbox receives a lot of messages, at times the rate is multiple messages per second. Delivery from Postfix to Dovecot is via tcp based LMTP. When I do 'ps -aef|grep lmtp|wc -l' I get 62 and does not appear to go higher than that. At the moment I have 4500 and 8300 messages queued on two Postfix instances waiting to deliver via LMTP to the same dovecot instance. Deliveries only happen via LMTP and only one of the two nodes actually gets the deliveries. What I'm seeing is very high load on the system (40) and queues building on the Postfix side. Replication is keeping up. Looking at the logs now I see anywhere from 4-7 messages per second delivered to this single mailbox. I would like to increase that rate a lot. These machines are VMs hosted on Xenserver 6.x. I have them setup with 8 vCPUs (2 sockets with 4 cores per socket), the dom0 machines have dual HBA connectors back to a SAN and have 128 CPUs and 256GB of RAM and are not taxed. I added a 2nd virtual disk that is used for storing mailbox data. It is ext4 and has noatime set during mount. /var is also mounted with noatime. The performance graphs in XenCenter show nearly all 8 vCPUs at about 50%, and the writes on the mailbox data disk are about 20%. iostat is showing mostly <5 for await times for the disks, though I do see a 10 now and again. I'm guessing that maybe I'm hitting a mailbox locking issue and not sure how to reduce the contention and thereby increase the delivery rate to this mailbox. -Chad

Syncing two mail servers?
by Knute Johnson 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

I currently have a mail server using Dovecot and sendmail. I was thinking I would like to have a backup of my mail and an additional server in case of hardware failure. Is it possible to run two identical or nearly identical server setups and sync the mail files between them? If it is possible, in general terms how would one go about this? Thanks, -- Knute Johnson

sieve-filter failure problems
by Jost Krieger 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

I use sieve-filter for postprocessing misclassified mail. For false positives I use the following script: require [ "variables", "include", "fileinto" ]; global [ "FORCENOSPAM", "ext", "ext1" ]; set "FORCENOSPAM" "YES"; fileinto "JUNK-PRENOUCE"; if header :matches "Delivered-To" "*+*@*" { set "ext" "${2}"; set "ext1" "${2}"; } include :personal "production"; FORCENOSPAM suppresses the spam handling and the Delivered-To stuff tries to regenerate envelope info. This is my crontab entry: 1-57/4 * * * * cd ~kriegjcb; /usr/local/dovecot/bin/sieve-filter -v -e -W -u kriegjcb -m Spam/U0-failed ~kriegjcb/sieve/nospamfilter.sieve Spam/U0 Most things work fine, but a few of my rules will try to forward mail. This will fail and my idea was I handle this manually from the folder Spam/U0-failed. Unfortunately the mail will arrive there but will also be left in the source folder Spam/U0 and will be processed again every 4 minutes ... This is probably not intentional?

Duplicate mails with pop3 + dsync replication
by Wolfgang Hennerbichler 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

Hi, When I enable (and it only happens when it is actually running) replication over TCP my users get duplicate mails via pop3. Here’s what happens: * User gets mail * Mail appears in (Maildir) new/ folder on both replicas * user retrieves mail (retr), calls dele. Mail still exists in new/ folder on both replicas. * user runs retr (and gets the duplicate) and dele a second time, the mail is actually removed. If I disable replication this behaviour goes away. I use dovecot from debian stable resources. Any help would _really_ be appreciated. I found one german thread that dealt with the same problem, but no solution for it (http://www.dovecot-buch.de/mailingliste/pop3-fehler-bei-delete-und-dsync-re…) wogri # dovecot --version 2.2.13 # dovecot -n # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 8.0 ext4 auth_verbose = yes doveadm_password = XXX first_valid_gid = 113 first_valid_uid = 108 last_valid_gid = 113 last_valid_uid = 108 mail_gid = dovecot mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%n mail_plugins = quota fts fts_lucene virtual notify replication mail_temp_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/tmp mail_uid = dovecot namespace { list = children location = virtual:/var/mail/%n/virtual prefix = virtual. separator = . } namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox "Deleted Messages" { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { auto = no special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } [48/4646] mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = . subscriptions = yes type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { default_language = de fts = lucene fts_lucene = whitespace_chars=@. mail_replica = tcp:172.16.1.1:12345 quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=4G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_rule3 = Spam:ignore quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u sieve = /etc/sieve/%n.sieve sieve_default = /etc/sieve/default.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +editheader } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)wogri.at protocols = " imap lmtp pop3" service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = dovecot } unix_listener replication-notify { user = dovecot } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 } } service imap { process_limit = 1024 } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 2003 } user = dovecot } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } service_count = 1 } service pop3 { process_limit = 1024 } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/sbin/quota-warning.sh unix_listener quota-warning { user = dovecot } user = dovecot } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/exim4/server.cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/exim4/server.key.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota sieve virtual notify replication } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota fts fts_lucene virtual notify replication sieve } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = quota fts fts_lucene virtual notify replication imap_quota }

sieve and antispam
by Andrew McN 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

I have a fairly standard antispam/dspam setup: postfix delivers to dspam, which classifies and tags the mail, and then passes it to postfix which uses sieve to put mail into the appropriate folders based on dspam's classification. I also have the antispam plugin watching mail being moved between folders and re-training dpsam accordingly. If I now add some sieve filter rules which put incoming mail into appropriate folders, possibly overriding what would normally result from dspam's classification, will that be seen by the antispam plugin and used for training dspam?

ipv4 imap not accepting connections in mixed ipv4/ipv6
by djk 15 Aug '15

15 Aug '15

I have two installations of dovecot 2.18, apart from the necessary changes to allow them to replicate amongst themselves the configs are identical. Both are running Ubuntu 14.04 and are kept up to date. One is running 64bit and the other 32 bit (for historical reasons). Both have ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. The 64 bit installation allows access on port 143 and 993 on both ipv4 and ipv6. The 32 bit installation does not allow access on 143 on ipv4, but allows ipv4/ipv6 on 993. Both installations happily allow connections to any other ports that dovecot might be using on both ipv4/ipv6, as well as everything else that is running (on other ports) on those machines. There are firewalls, but no warning messages. Switching firewalls off makes no difference. Tcpdump shows the SYN packets arriving on the (correct) interface. Any suggestions? Dirk

IMAP folder separator issue
by Alex 15 Aug '15

15 Aug '15

Hi, I'm using dovecot-2.2.18 on fedora22 and having a problem with Thunderbird. I reported this problem some time ago, and received some tips, but no solution that's worked. I'm now trying to fix this in earnest, and having problems. The problem is sub-folders are created with a caret in them, instead of a new folder below the parent folder. So instead of folder/sub-folder, folder^sub-folder is created. I'm using mbox folders, and it worked under previous versions of fedora and dovecot. I believe it has to do with the separator character that's used, based on this wiki page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Listescape The problem is that those instructions cause errors: Aug 14 20:00:01 orion dovecot: pop3(cerberus): Error: User initialization failed: namespace configuration error: Duplicate namespace prefix: "" Aug 14 20:00:01 orion dovecot: pop3(cerberus): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. I've also had to change the "namespace private" to "namespace { type=private }" as that's apparently a deprecated syntax. Perhaps there's an updated page with more instruction and correct information? I'm unsure where this duplicate namespace is that it's talking about... I've included my doveconf output below, in hopes someone can help. I should also point out that "separator = $" is quoted in the original doveconf.conf but apparently doveconf doesn't properly print it. # 2.2.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.0.7-300.fc22.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two) default_client_limit = 2000 mail_gid = mail mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_plugins = " listescape" mail_privileged_group = mail mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = $ type = private } 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 } passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 } process_min_avail = 20 service_count = 0 } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } inet_listener pop3s { address = 192.168.1.100 port = 995 } } ssl_ca = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/ca-bundle.pem ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/orion-2015.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/orion-2015.key userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { driver = passwd }

Hello, Yesterday I tried to back up a 40GB maildir . I tried to move the maildir from home to external HDD but failed. Decided then to compress it(which took several hours). Now changing the disk format from FAT to exFAT to allow the transfer for the large compressed file. How does one back up emails on a external drive? Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

need help debugging deleted mails
by Vu Ngoc VU 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

hello, one of our users complained about the fact that he doesn't receive some messages (randomly) that his teamates have. Grepping for the message-ID in the mail.log, I can see lmtp says it is saved : Aug 12 15:23:23 imap-01 dovecot: lmtp(4943, johndoe(a)example.net) fFuCO09Hy1VPEwAA2t/0+w: sieve: vsize= msgid=<037e01d0d502$0e3687d0$2aa39770$(a)example.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' The only difference with others recipients is the 'sieve:... stored mail' instead of 'saved mail to' when there is no sieve. But when he asked me, the message was no more in his maildir (I checked with doveadm search). As we have checked and disabled all the filters in his MUA and on the server (sieve) and this issue still continue, I did mkdir a dovecot.rawlog inside his home. With the help of rawlog, I can see that the message can be found in a .out file (by grepping the Message-ID). And by reading this .out log raw log, the entire message were sent to the client. So I guess that : * the message was written to disk * it was sent to the MUA But I need your help because I don't get how this message disappear from his maildir. My assumptions was that the client must do some commands like : * STORE the \Deleted flag to this message UID * and then, later do EXPUNGE but I did : * grep -i expunge * 20150812* => no match * grep -iE '\+flags .*\\deleted' => a few matches but not with the appropriate UID snippet from the 20150812-133858-13317.in file: 8nk1 UID FETCH 208209 (UID FLAGS RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER] INTERNALDATE) p7uv IDLE DONE 6yk3 NOOP 83g6 IDLE DONE yhbd UID FETCH 208209 (UID FLAGS BODY.PEEK[]) fy16 IDLE DONE snippet from the 20150812-133858-13317.out file: * 56295 FETCH (UID 208209) wn2p OK Fetch completed. * 56295 FETCH (UID 208209 FLAGS (\Deleted \Seen \Recent) RFC822.SIZE 17138 INTERNALDATE "12-Aug-2015 15:23:22 +0200" BODY[HEADER] {2836} Considering these points: * I cannot find any match with 208209 early in raw logs * I don't see any expunge for the whole day * I've grepped for \Deleted (insensitive) and didn't find matching like a interval of messages UID. What did I miss to find out how/when the message got \Deleted flag and was removed from his maildir? A few about my setup : * system is ubuntu 14.04 inside OpenVZ containers (Proxmox) * dovecot version is 2.2.9 from Ubuntu packages * 2 director with Internet and local ip addresses * 2 backends with only local addresses * these dovecot access storage servers by NFSv3 (that's why we have director) * imap/lmtp are proxied Thanks a lot for reading, I'm really disappointed about this problem. For the moment, I'll delete his script even if all rules are disabled (via roundcube, and I checked the rule is commented in the file). And also I'll try to watch what happens with inotify on the storage server.

SiS does not work

How do you do. I have tried to use SiS to deduplicate attachments in mail storage. Unsuccesful. When goes mail with reasonable size, and SiS try to start, I have receive error, when this mail must be delivered for group of receivers (i.e. through aliases).

userdb / user map with director
by Will Yardley 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

This is with dovecot-ee 2.2.18.2 on RHEL6.... To handle backend and frontend on same machine, I'm using the following hack, as previously outlined here: [in director instance config] passdb { # See thread ending in: # http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2012-June/083817.html # for why this has to be sql instead of 'static' driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } [in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf] driver = sqlite connect = /etc/dovecot/empty.db password_query = select 'y' as proxy, \ NULL as password, \ 'y' as nopassword, \ case '%a' \ when '110' then '10110' \ when '995' then '10110' \ when '143' then '10143' \ when '993' then '10143' end \ as port; This works, but I was getting a failure on usernames, since director instance didn't have a userdb. So I tried the following: [in config] passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb { driver = prefetch } and appended the following to the SQL query: password_query = select '%u' AS user, \ Then I see the following error in the log when I try to run the map "Trying to iterate users, but userdbs don't support it" and doveadm -i director director map returns: Error: User listing returned failure Error: user listing failed [...] I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, so is there an easy fix to make this mapping work? w

Dovecot sends "OK Logged in" with empty tag
by Simon Thelen 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

Hello, I'm currently writing my own IMAP client and testing it against Dovecot, and when doing PLAIN AUTH Dovecot sends the "OK Logged in" with an empty tag at the start. I tried reproducing the conversation with netcat, but Dovecot sends a correctly tagged OK at the end of the AUTH so I assume it's timing related. I've attached pcap dumps of the TCP conversation in both situations as well as the output of dovecot -n. Side Note: Why does Dovecot send the updated capabilities before OK'ing the authentication? Seems strange to me as the client can't assume that the authentication proceeded successfully until it actually receives the OK so it has to assume that those capabilities are pre login. -- Simon Thelen

Using a separate passdb per service
by Gerry 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

Situation: one front-facing server running Dovecot as IMAP/POP3/ ManageSieve proxy, a mixture of IMAP servers (Dovecot, Exchange, ...) in the back-end. Dovecot's passdb does lookups against MySQL which contains a simple user/host mapping, the actual authentication happens on the back-end IMAP servers. The configuration is more or less as described here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy Now I would like to add a Postfix instance on the front-facing server which listens on the submission port and authenticates users via SASL using the local Dovecot's UNIX socket. The idea being that a user only needs to remember one single hostname, one username and one password for all mail-related services. The problem is that Dovecot is operating in proxy mode, which means that the password_query returns NULL as the password and explicitly returns a field "nopasswd" containing "Y". Thus, users can not authenticate against the UNIX socket. What I think I want to do is convince Dovecot to use one passdb for the imap/pop3/managesieve services and different one for the "auth" service. The configuration snippet below doesn't work, but it should illustrate what I want to achieve: > protocols = imap pop3 sieve > > service auth { > passdb sql { > driver = sql > args = /etc/dovecot/mysql-auth-sasl.conf.ext > } > > unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { > user = postfix > group = postfix > mode = 0666 > } > } > > # IMAP/POP3/ManageSieve auth against MySQL > passdb sql { > driver = sql > args = /etc/dovecot/mysql-auth-default.conf.ext > } Example mysql-auth-sasl.conf.ext > driver = mysql > connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mail user=mail password=somethingrandom > password_query = SELECT password AS password FROM users WHERE login = '%u' Example mysql-auth-default.conf.ext: > driver = mysql > connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mail user=mail password=somethingrandom > password_query = SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'Y' AS proxy FROM users WHERE login = '%u' Any pointers?

Trying to back
by Kevin Laurie 09 Aug '15

09 Aug '15

Hi, I am trying to backup multiple mail accounts by using imapsync and Dovecot on my local machine. I am using maildir as a mail storage format and currently have the following setting on my local machine :- mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I am afraid that if I imapsync multiple accounts they will all get stored in the same location. Is there a way to seperate the accounts based on the email address? Appreciate if someone could advise. Thanks! Kevin

Dovecot/Pigeonhole Issue (UTC modtime instead of localtime)
by Christoph Gröver 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

Hi List, We are using the following setup: Dovecot-2.2.18 Pigeonhole-0.4.8 (for Dovecot-2.2) After the mail is finally delivered via a fileinto by the Sieve filter it gets an updated timestamp (modification time). The server has localtime setup correctly IMO (UTC +0200), but still the delivered mail is setup as being two hours old. I think I found out that the function sieve_file_storage_update_mtime() is the cause of this problem. But perhaps there has to be some kind of setup, that tells pigeonhole to use the 2 hour offset of CEST. I think to reset the mtime by utime(s) is a bit strange. It already gets the correct modtime just by storing it in the filesystem. Last version we used (0.2.5) did not have this poblem. So it must be there for some reason? Perhaps you can enlighten me. Thanks for your time.

Renaming shared mailbox makes it disappear from sharee
by Andy Csillag 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

I've run into an interesting thing. If a mailbox has been shared to a second user (I'll call it the sharee), and there are subfolders on that mailbox, and the sharee renames one of those subfolders, it disappears from view to the sharee. The only way I've been able discover to fix it is to have the sharee create a new subfolder -- then the renamed folder shows up again; in addition to the newly created folder. For example, first(a)example.org shares it's INBOX to second(a)example.org. There's a folder INBOX/thing, which second@ renames to INBOX/renamed (ACLs permitting). second@ can no longer can see INBOX/renamed (or INBOX/thing for that matter), via IMAP's LIST command. But if second@ creates a new folder INBOX/other, INBOX/renamed is now visible. This is very reproducible for me. I also tried it without the imappostlogin bit (in the dovecot -n). Anyone else run into this? No NFS is involved, this is a single machine setup.

Structure of dovecot.index.pvt.log

Hi, we are migrating from Cyrus to Dovecot and I would like to migrate seen flags for shared folder too. We have Dovecot 2.2.13 prepared as: location = maildir:/vmail/user/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/Shared/%%n Now I'm looking for 'dovecot.index.pvt.log' syntax to be able migrate Seen flags. All I know is, that index contains messages UID and Seen flag. May I ask you for a link to doc (if it exists) or into a source code? Should I care about 'dovecot.index.pvt.log' timestamps?

Question RE listescape and separators
by Jakob Curdes 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Hello, we just start moving a large number of mailboxes to a new dovecot server with dovecot 2.0.9 (from CentOS) and sdbox as mailbox type. We use imapsync so there is no issue with mailbox type conversion. However, in test runs I noted that some mail folders,e.g. with dots in them, could not be transferred; dovecot says Couldn't create folder [7.8) Personnel] from [7.8) Personnel]: 106 NO Character not allowed in mailbox name: '.' We have the separator "/" defined for our only namespace so the dot should not be an issue!? I tried to use listescape but either the plugin is not loading (how can I verify this?) or it does not escape the dot in the mailbox name. The listescape settings are the defaults: namespace { separator = / (...) } mail_plugins = $mail_plugins listescape plugin { listescape_char = "\\" } What am I doing wrong? How can I make dots in mailboxes possible? Best regards, Jakob Curdes

Deafness
by Steffan Cline 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

I’ve started in the last day or so having issues where users get a timeout when connecting to dovecot. The iPhone interprets this as an auth issue but re-entering the password makes no change. Outlook will either just not connect to it at all or it gives an error to re-enter the password also with no change. This happens within an hour of a "service dovecot restart". I’m using CentOS 6 with dovecot 2.0.9 from the centos repos. There’s nothing visible in the logs. Suggestions of what to check for? Thanks, Steffan

dbox: message internal date
by Francesco 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for the help :) I'm trying to figure out where does dovecot store the message internal date when using single dbox storage format. In Maildir format, the internal date is determined by the actual date of the file on the filesystem, but in dbox it doesn't seem to be the case. I'm looking forward for a way to modify a message internal date when on a dovecot instance running dbox storage engine, maybe anyone knows if it's possible and how to accomplish this? Again, thank you for the help Sincerely Francesco

Hi at all, I have a problem with ACL; I want to share INBOX and Sent folder to an other user, but when I configure ACL on INBOX, all folders are shared (Sent, Junk, Draft, Trash, etc) # doveadm acl get -u janedoe INBOX ID Global Rights user=johndoe expunge insert lookup post read write write-deleted write-seen # doveadm acl get -u janedoe Sent ID Global Rights user=johndoe expunge insert lookup post read write write-deleted write-seen # doveadm acl get -u janedoe Trash ID Global Rights # doveadm acl get -u janedoe Drafts ID Global Rights # doveadm acl get -u janedoe Junk ID Global Rights # doveadm mailbox list -u johndoe Trash Junk Drafts Sent Archives Archives.2015 Other Users Other Users.janedoe Other Users.janedoe.Junk Other Users.janedoe.Drafts Other Users.janedoe.Sent Other Users.janedoe.Trash Other Users.janedoe.INBOX INBOX If I remove the INBOX ACL, only 'Sent' folder is shared, as expected: # doveadm acl delete -u janedoe INBOX johndoe # doveadm mailbox list -u provahe Trash Trash.saved-messages Junk Drafts Sent INBOX_spam Archives Archives.2015 Archives.2015.INBOX_spam Other Users Other Users.janedoe Other Users.janedoe.Sent INBOX My Dovecot instance use a single user, and all my mailboxes use standard maildir files: drwx------ 9 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 10:59 . drwx------ 12 vmail mail 3864 Jul 28 09:39 .. drwx------ 2 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:51 cur -rw------- 1 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 10:59 dovecot-acl -rw------- 1 vmail mail 16 Jul 28 10:59 dovecot-acl-list -rw------- 1 vmail mail 1448 Jul 28 09:51 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 vmail mail 1016 Jul 28 09:52 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 vmail mail 113 Jul 28 09:51 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 vmail mail 8 Jul 28 09:39 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:39 dovecot-uidvalidity.55b731ac drwx------ 5 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:39 .Drafts lrwxrwxrwx 1 vmail mail 5 Jul 28 09:39 .INBOX_spam -> .Junk drwx------ 5 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:39 .Junk -rw------- 1 vmail mail 16 Jul 28 09:39 maildirsize drwx------ 2 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:51 new drwx------ 5 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:50 .Sent -rw------- 1 vmail mail 37 Jul 28 09:39 subscriptions drwx------ 2 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:51 tmp drwx------ 5 vmail mail 0 Jul 28 09:39 .Trash any clue to solve my problem ??

Unfortunely I have problem with certificate, postfix shows, 2015-07-27T12:51:15.025333+02:00 k30 postfix/lmtp[4572]: Untrusted TLS connection established to 192.168.67.30[192.168.67.30]:24: TLSv1.2 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256/256 bits) I checked certs by openssl s_client: #openssl s_client -connect localhost:24 -showcerts -starttls smtp -CApath /etc/ssl/certs/ And I gets didn't found starttls in server response, try anyway... depth=0 OU = GT46258006, OU = See www.rapidssl.com/resources/cps (c)15, OU = Domain Control Validated - RapidSSL(R), CN = mail.active24.pl verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate verify return:1 depth=0 OU = GT46258006, OU = See www.rapidssl.com/resources/cps (c)15, OU = Domain Control Validated - RapidSSL(R), CN = mail.active24.pl verify error:num=27:certificate not trusted verify return:1 depth=0 OU = GT46258006, OU = See www.rapidssl.com/resources/cps (c)15, OU = Domain Control Validated - RapidSSL(R), CN = mail.active24.pl verify error:num=21:unable to verify the first certificate verify return:1 It look likes dovecot lmtp send 3 times the same certificate.

Importing mbox archives into a inbox?
by Paul Hoffman 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

Greetings from a dovecot newbie. I have a bunch of mailing list archives (in mbox) format that I want to dump into the inbox for a particular account on the system. I want them to retain all of their information, particularly the date. I'm not seeing how to do this, but I could be missing it. Is this LDA or LMTP with some command-line options I'm not seeing? --Paul Hoffman

POP3 getting previously delivered messages.
by Jas Reehal 24 Jul '15

24 Jul '15

Hi All, This is my first post to this list. I have recently upgraded to dovecot version 2.2.10. 1. I have one POP3 user who does not want to delete his email on the server. 2. He has accumulated over 19000 messages, and the 'dovecot.uidlist' file has more than 19000 lines! 3. Occasionally now when he has received one or more new emails, and his email client does a 'get new mail' operation (POP3) he begins to receive email he has already received previously. last time this happened all 19000+ messages were delivered again, leaning to duplicate entries in all his mailboxes. I have reproduced this issue with a dummy email account with a POP3 client, leaving all messages on the server. I have delivered 20000 messages to this email account, each about 1.3k ins size and each with .... Subject: Message number <n> Body containing "Message number <n>" where <n> is 1 to 20000 now occasionally if I send another message to this email account, and then check for new messages using a POP3 client I get more messages downloaded than I expect! The 'dovecot.uidlist' file is not corrupt, but I beleive due ti it's size (number of lines) the is an issue on compiling a ' POP3 drop-list'. I have attached a file 'dovecot-a.txt' which shows the 'dovecot -a' output from my server. Based on what I have investigated I believe that this issue may not be correlated with a migration to version 2.2.10, but more to do with the number of messages retained on the server. Is there anyone who has any insight into what is happening and if there is any remedy, perhaps a "pop3_client_workarounds =" or other POP3 or UIDL directive in the conf files? The user is stubbornly resisting migration to IMAP, because of the time and effort he says will be required to replicate his organised filing/storage of messages on the server.
