If it comes out to empty, your client won't be able to negotiate any SSL sessions, and you'll have include more ciphers. For example, TLSv1 protocol minus any low-grade encryption or SSLv2 ciphers: $ openssl ciphers -tlsv1 'ALL:\!LOW:\!SSLv2' ADH-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:AES256-SHA:ADH-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA:AES128-SHA:ADH-DES-CBC3-SHA:EXP-ADH-DES-CBC-SHA:ADH-RC4-MD5:EXP-ADH-RC4-MD5:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:EXP-EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA:EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:EXP-EDH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:EXP-DES-CBC-SHA:IDEA-CBC-SHA:EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5:RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5:EXP-RC4-MD5 Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

dovecot on wheezy, best ssl configuration ?
by ml＠ruggedinbox.com 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

Hi all, when hardening dovecot against the POODLE vulnerability, we followed the advise to disable SSL2 and SSL3 but this is giving problems with some email clients (claws-mail). ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 results in the following error: dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 1 secs): user=<>, rip=XXX, lip=XXX, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408A0C1:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:no shared cipher, session=<2C8jBjIMmQBVGNd1> Our smtp server is postfix, can you please suggest a better 'ssl_protocols' and 'ssl_cipher_list' configuration ? We are running Debian 7 Wheezy Thank you, RuggedInbox team

auth-deny : from file to LDAP
by hummel＠pasteur.fr 09 Jan '15

09 Jan '15

Hello Timo, I want to deny access to some users. For now I'm doing it using 2 passdb's and listing users in a text file. !include auth-deny.conf.ext -> passwd-file driver !include auth-ldap.conf.ext -> ldap driver I want to do the same using only LDAP. I'm not quite sure how to do it : a) should I . change the driver of the first passdb from passwd-file to ldap . for user to be rejected, add an LDAP attribute named "foo" with a value of "yes" and map it with something like this : pass_attrs = ....,foo=deny in dovecot-ldap.conf.ext ? b) or could I use only one ldap passdb by changing the pass_filter from pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) to something like pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)(!foo=yes)) ?

Corrupted index cache after migrating from maildir to mdbox

Hi guys, I'm running dovecot/postfix on my Debian Jessie maschine: # dovecot --version 2.2.13 doveconf -n output: http://p.bastelfreak.de/HsVwS/ today I migrated from maildir(located at /var/vmail) to mdbox with these commands: rsync -av -f"+ */" -f"- *" /var/vmail/ /home/vmail/ rm /home/vmail/*/*/Maildir -rf for i in $(doveadm user \*); do u=$(echo $i | cut -d@ -f1); d=$(echo $i |cut -d@ -f2); dsync -v -u $i mirror mdbox:/home/vmail/$d/$u/mdbox; done Then I changed the mail_location to mdbox:/home/vmail/%d/%n/mdbox and did the following commands: service dovecot restart for i in $(doveadm user \*); do u=$(echo $i | cut -d@ -f1); d=$(echo $i |cut -d@ -f2); dsync -v -u $i mirror maildir:/var/vmail/$d/$u/Mail; done doveadm index -A all INBOX for i in $(doveadm user \*); do doveadm -Dv fts rescan -u $i;done unfortunately I'm getting the following two kinds of error messages for all mail boxes in my mail.log: Error: Corrupted index cache file /home/vmail/%domain/%user/mdbox/mailboxes/%maildir/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.cache: Broken virtual size for mail UID 2564 and: Error: read(/home/vmail/%domain/%user/mdbox/storage/m.108 ): FETCH BODY[] for mailbox %maildir UID 2564 got too little data: 2417 vs 6319 please let me know if you have any suggestions for fixing this issue or if you need more information. kind regards, Tim

Quota, doveadm, postfixadmin
by Ricardo 09 Jan '15

09 Jan '15

Hello all and happy holidays. I have Postfix+Dovecot+MySQL+Postfixadmin with CentOS 6.6, a virtual machines for testing, and then pass it to servers in production, my problem is the next: I add 30 MB for domain.local, then cast 10 MB for test1(a)domain.local and 20 MB for test2(a)domain.local, so far so good. Sending an attachment from one account to another, the example of test1(a)domain.local to test2(a)domain.local, test2(a)domain.local receive the email with the attachment. If I write in the shell doveadm quota get -u test2(a)domain.local I get the following: Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 3391 20000 16 user MESSAGE 3 10000 0 Informs me that I this consuming 16% of the 20 MB assigned to this account, but if I delete the file and again write doveadm quota get -u test2(a)domain.local I release this: Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 6782 20000 33 user MESSAGE 4 10000 0 Normal serious you continue using 16%, not 33%, when you go into the trash, because that happens from one place to another, right? These statistics the Postfixadmin Dame them so much as writing in the shell doveadm quota get -u test2(a)domain.local. I delete the file in the trash and to again write doveadm quota get -u test2(a)domain.local still see me. Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 6782 20000 33 user MESSAGE 4 10000 0 But I realize that so that it resets to 0%, I have to close the mail client, if not would follow using 33% and is when is 0% as shown here. Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 1 20000 0 user MESSAGE 2 10000 0 Is this normal? The client to send emails and exceed quota will having to always close the mail client, so you reset and stays at 0%? Can anyone help me? I have looked online but I can't find information about this. Has happened to someone? Thanks so much. Best regards.

Dovecot replication - notify not working
by Jonas Plitt 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

Dear Dovecot-Admins, I've set up a pair of Dovecot Servers, please find config of server one attached. They are configured to replicate changes over a tcp connection using port 12345, set up as described in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication article page. Adding the user postboxes to replication using "doveadm replicator add '*' " syncs the mailboxes as expected. Unfortunately both of the servers does not propagate any changes, e.G. new mail in Sent folder. Removing and adding the mailboxes again syncs them again. Can anybody help me to get the notify working, please? many thanks in advance, Jonas

Kerberos problems with /dev/null as dovecot home
by Roland Hopferwieser 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Hi, this is for documentation if someone else has the same problem. After migration from Dovecot 1 to 2.2. it was no longer able use Kerberos (Heimdal). I found out that dovecot tries to read ~/.krb5/config in the home of the dovecot user. This file doesn't need to exist, but if the home is set to /dev/null, it will not work. Maybe it would be nice to have an error message for this case. Regards, Roland

Crashes with tracebacks
by Timothe Litt 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

Crashes, redux. I hope I have provided all the information required for a solution. Many thanks in advance for having a look. I have 71 core files for a user, that all happened in the space of about 6 hours. It appears that mail delivered to 'Junk E-mail' is being accessed. I suspect they're all the same issue. I saw the same syslog entry a while back; did a resync & enabled process dumps. Naturally, it went away -- until this cluster of crashes. File system is ext3. It is NFS mounted by other machines, but only the local machine should be touching the mail directories. The user does not have an interactive login - it's an e-mail only account. This user's IMAP client is AppleMail. The delivery agent is procmail; Junk is detected by spamassassin; clamav is also present. pop3 is configured, but I don't think anyone uses it.

mdbox GUID
by Nagy, Attila 04 Jan '15

04 Jan '15

Hi, The dbox page says: "Each message has a 128 bit globally unique identifier (GUID)" I guess this is what guid_128_generate() generates. Is this believed to be really globally unique? As far as I can tell, in the current architecture they are -given there are enough time precision-, because all dovecot daemons are single threaded, so they have concurrency but doesn't have parallelism (they are not multi threaded). I would like to list all of the messages, with this GUID as the unique identifier, so a collision would be fatal here...

ntlm_auth random failures with dovecot
by Jason Gunthorpe 04 Jan '15

04 Jan '15

I'm still a bit fuzzy on exactly what has blown up here since my 1.2 install (or maybe it was broken then and I never noticed), but it looks like the way dovecot is calling out to ntlm_auth is violating the --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp scheme. The issue is how it handles simultaneous clients connecting - for instance launching thunderbird with NTLM auth creates multiple imapds that all have to be auth'd. Since dovecot doesn't (and apparrently didn't in 1.2?) serialize this it ends up sending a jumble to ntlm_auth. Strace sayth, as example: read(0, "YR xxxxxxx=\n", 4096) = 48 read(0, "YR xxxxxxx=\n", 4096) = 48 read(0, "KK xxxxxxx=\n",4096) = 176 read(0, "KK xxxxxxx=\n",4096) = 176 That is two clients connecting at once, and the sequence has become jumbled. Fiddling around with ntlm_auth manually I can get it to give me this: YR xxx # 1 TT xxx # 1 YR xxx # 2 TT xxx # 2 KK xxx # 2 AF jgg # 2 KK xxx # 1 Called NTLMSSP after state machine was 'done' GENSEC login failed: NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER NA NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER Ie, reordering the sequence (# 1 and # 2) causes it to tell you that, no, the sequence cannot be reordered. To me this says the samba folks expect that the YY/TT/KK/AF sequence is *NOT* reordered. The implication is that the mech-winbind in dovecot must seralize everything, and it doesn't! So, this is fairly broken, I can hit these failure causes with a high probability when using thunderbird. Any thoughts on how to repair this? The simplest answer would be to pool and assign a ntlm_auth process to each incoming auth context, or to actually serialize auth. But it can't treat ntlm_auth as a stateless helper. Jason

[PATCH] LAYOUT=imapdir is broken in v2.2
by Jason Gunthorpe 04 Jan '15

04 Jan '15

The next thing I noticed in my v1.2 -> 2.2 upgrade is that mail_location = maildir:[..]:LAYOUT=imapdir is broken, the symptom is dovecot returning this to the client when requesting any mailbox beyond INBOX: Character not allowed in mailbox name: ' Which is actually trying to say "Character not allowed in mailbox name: '\0'", but since the %c is not escaped it ends up with the truncated string. This patch fixes it: diff --git a/src/lib-storage/list/mailbox-list-maildir.c b/src/lib-storage/list/mailbox-list-maildir.c index c99a2900a6d6..ae5f35d955ac 100644 --- a/src/lib-storage/list/mailbox-list-maildir.c +++ b/src/lib-storage/list/mailbox-list-maildir.c @@ -46,6 +46,7 @@ static struct mailbox_list *imapdir_list_alloc(void) list = p_new(pool, struct maildir_mailbox_list, 1); list->list = imapdir_mailbox_list; list->list.pool = pool; + list->sep = '.'; list->global_temp_prefix = IMAPDIR_GLOBAL_TEMP_PREFIX; list->temp_prefix = p_strconcat(pool, list->global_temp_prefix, Analysis: I noticed this while upgrading a dovecot install from 1.2.15 (squeeze) to 2.2.13 (jessie).

dovecot and ntlm_auth through winbind
by Jason Gunthorpe 04 Jan '15

04 Jan '15

Hi all, I am upgrading a dovecot 1.2 installation to a 2.2 installation and have found and fixed a number of problems.. I've seen several postings in the archive about ntlm_auth not working, and it is true, there are several regressions in dovecot here. The first and simplest is that the enablement instructions in the wikki are wrong. ntlm_auth must be called as root, which is what 1.2 did. 2.2 defaults to calling it as the auth user which subtly doesn't work: Dec 30 20:30:21 quartz dovecot[8439]: auth: Error: Login for user []\[jgg]@[wakko] failed due to [Reading winbind reply failed!] Dec 30 20:30:21 quartz dovecot[8439]: auth: Error: ../auth/ntlmssp/ntlmssp_server.c:454: Checking NTLMSSP password for \jgg failed: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL Dec 30 20:30:21 quartz dovecot[8439]: auth: Error: GENSEC login failed: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL Dec 30 20:30:21 quartz dovecot[8439]: auth: Error: winbind: ntlm_auth exited with exit code 0 The fix is simple, run auth as root: service auth { user = root } This ended up as debian bug #774263 which has a few more details.

Help with installing Apache Solr with Dovecot 2.2
by Kev Lau 03 Jan '15

03 Jan '15

Hi, I am relatively new to Apache Solr and I am trying to get it to integrate with Dovecot 2.2 running on Ubuntu 14.04 and needed a little help with configuration. The following steps I have already configured. Appreciate if someone could help, so please help me! 1. Apache Solr installed, up and running 6406 [main] INFO org.eclipse.jetty.server.AbstractConnector ?

Disabling compressed storage for one public namespace - is it possible?
by Marc Stürmer 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

Greetings, I've got Dovecot 2.2.X running with gzip compressed storage enabled by default. My question though is: is it possible to disable this compressed storage for one specific, public namespace only? I haven't found quite much information about it on the wiki. Thanks in advance.

dovecot 2 low TCP speed (fetching big mail)
by Wojciech Puchar 02 Jan '15

02 Jan '15

i use dovecot 2 under FreeBSD (dovecot2-2.2.15 compiled from ports). tried both with kqueue enabled or not. everything works very fast, EXCEPT fetching big mail. tried multiple clients (thunderbird on windows, alpine on the same server, alpine on other unix server connected by 1Gb/s LAN) and fetching peaks at 1MB/s. NO SSL! could you please point me where to search for a problem. hints: writing over IMAP (eg. writing to Sent folder) works at full speed. Doesn't seem like a problem with unix server, every other service goes at speed 70-100MB/s both directions (like samba, ftp). tried to turn off "kqueue" compile time option, no difference. Please give me a hint at least what to check. Does dovecot use other way to sent data over TCP socket than other programs? thank you.

Postfix and Dovecot SASL - wiki update
by Dan Langille 01 Jan '15

01 Jan '15

I wanted to mention I updated the Postfix and Dovecot SASL wiki entry yesterday. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL The entry: submission inet n - - - - smtpd was incorrect. It should be: submission inet n - n - - smtpd By specifying n for chroot, it ensures that DNS lookups can occur. Otherwise, if you are using reject_unknown_recipient_domain the following error will occur: Recipient address rejected: Domain not found Hope that helps. — Dan Langille http://langille.org/

Authenticating Virtual Users without domain
by Leon Kyneur 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Hi, I'm trying to migrate a large number of users to a new Dovecot cluster. The existing mail system allows a user to authenticate with a bare username if they have connected to the correct local IP on the server. e.g. imap.somedomain.com = 1.1.1.1 imap.anotheromain.com = 2.2.2.2 charlie@somedomain can authnenticate as 'charlie' or 'charlie(a)somedomain.com' as long as he is connected to imap.somedomain.com (1.1.1.1) likewise for bare usernames if they connect to imap.anotherdomain.com. A previous colleague actually achieved this by hacking with the Dovecot source code and writing in a lookup table feature. The code is very old and won't patch cleanly to the latest 2.2.15 source. Another platform we are using (commercial product) also has this feature but we also need to migrate these users to Dovecot. I already have a Dovecot proxy layer for mailbox lookup - so ideally I would like to do this on my Dovecot proxies. I know I can also do this kind of thing if I swapped my dovecot proxy for Perdition, however I don't really want to do that. I've looked into checkpassword scripts and could possibly make something work (albeit ugly) - is this the right direction to take here? Thanks, Leon

Segmentation fault in pigeonhole lib-sieve
by Orion Poplawski 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

The sieve plugin for Thundirbird likes to rapidly compile work in progress sieve scripts to continually give feedback on any errors in the script. This can trigger segmentation faults in lib-sieve with certain pathologically incomplete sieve scripts. One example: #0 tag_comparator_validate (valdtr=0x7f291aa713a0, arg=0x7fff5c3cfa58, cmd=0x7f291aa69360) at sieve-comparators.c:143 143 if ( (*arg)->type != SAAT_STRING ) { Missing separate debuginfos, use: debuginfo-install bzip2-libs-1.0.6-12.el7.x86_64 glibc-2.17-55.el7_0.3.x86_64 sssd-client-1.11.2-68.el7_0.6.x86_64 zlib-1.2.7-13.el7.x86_64 (gdb) list 138 *arg = sieve_ast_argument_next(*arg); 139 140 /* Check syntax: 141 * ":comparator" <comparator-name: string> 142 */ 143 if ( (*arg)->type != SAAT_STRING ) { 144 sieve_argument_validate_error(valdtr, *arg, 145 ":comparator tag requires one string argument, but %s was found", 146 sieve_ast_argument_name(*arg) ); 147 return FALSE; (gdb) print arg $1 = (struct sieve_ast_argument **) 0x7fff5c3cfa58 (gdb) print *arg $2 = (struct sieve_ast_argument *) 0x0 So sieve_ast_argument_next() is returning NULL and we're trying to dereference it without checking.

PAM issues on OS X Yosemite
by Markus Mayer 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hi, I have been running dovecot successfully on OS X Mavericks for several months. After upgrading to Yosemite, however, PAM authentication for dovecot is failing. Or rather, creating the PAM session is failing. Either way, I can't get to my e-mail. $ /usr/pkg/sbin/dovecot --version 2.2.15 $ /usr/pkg/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.2.15: /usr/pkg/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 14.0.0 x86_64 hfs auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes mail_location = maildir:/Volumes/Secure/%u/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = session=yes dovecot driver = pam } ssl_cert = </usr/pkg/etc/openssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </usr/pkg/etc/openssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } $ defaults read "/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion" ProductVersion 10.10.1 Dec 30 13:21:47 my.host.name dovecot[49247]: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=49289) Dec 30 13:21:51 my.host.name dovecot[49247]: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured session=3bBdlHULNgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB lip=::1 rip=::1 lport=143 rport=52278 resp=<hidden> Dec 30 13:21:51 my.host.name dovecot[49247]: auth-worker(49286): Debug: pam(markus,::1): lookup service=dovecot Dec 30 13:21:51 my.host.name dovecot[49247]: auth-worker(49286): Debug: pam(markus,::1): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Dec 30 13:21:51 my.host.name dovecot[49247]: auth-worker(49286): Error: pam(markus,::1): pam_open_session() failed: session failure Dec 30 13:21:53 my.host.name dovecot[49247]: auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 1 user=markus It does successfully verify my password. If I purposefully enter a wrong password the error becomes "pam_authenticate() failed: authentication error (password mismatch?)". So that portion is okay. Do you have any suggestions how I might find out why pam_open_session() is failing? The auth process *is* running as root. I have tried these two PAM configurations. The first one based on Maverick's /etc/pam.d/login and used to work fine on Mavericks. # dovecot: auth account password session auth optional pam_krb5.so use_kcminit auth optional pam_ntlm.so try_first_pass auth optional pam_mount.so try_first_pass auth required pam_opendirectory.so try_first_pass account required pam_nologin.so account required pam_opendirectory.so password required pam_opendirectory.so session required pam_launchd.so session required pam_uwtmp.so session optional pam_mount.so I tried to simplify it by using the one suggested on dovecot's PAM wiki. # dovecot: auth account password session auth required pam_opendirectory.so try_first_pass account required pam_nologin.so account required pam_opendirectory.so password required pam_opendirectory.so On Yosemite, neither works. Or, quite possibly, both configurations are fine and the problem lies elsewhere. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. In the mean time I'll be using auth-passwdfile, since that works. Thanks, -Markus

SPECIAL-USE again
by Peter Mogensen 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hi, Great to see Thunderbird support SPECIAL-USE now. I would like to hear the list about the intended use of SPECIAL-USE. I get the impression from several earlier mails here that the intention is for the server to globally decide what the folder-name of a specific SPECIAL-USE folder is for all users. That's the way the documentation exemplifies it and what I get from posts like this: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-February/088129.html I get the point that if *all* clients ignored the real folder-name and only obeyed SPECIAL-USE, the clients could locally in the GUI decide language and name of the \Sent, \Drafts, \Trash folders. And the real folder name would become just an opaque identifier. However that's not how the world is like. There are plenty of clients ignoring SPECIAL-USE and placing meaning in the actual folder name in a language of their own choice. It seems natural for me to let the user configure their own individual SPECIAL-USE tagging according to their language and/or mix of IMAP clients. - either by setting IMAP METADATA (RFC5464) or by having the userdb return entries like: "namespace/inbox/Papperskorg/specialuse=\Trash" (for a swede) /Peter PS: Also... Isn't there a need for a Sieve extension to allow "fileinto" to target a folder based on special-use ?

Re: doveadm pw generates different hash each time it is invoked

What on earth is going on here? There must be something > fundamental that I am missing. "doveadm pw" is working correctly. CRAM-MD5 and SSHA use hashing in 2 different ways to authenticate a user. CRAM-MD5 is a challenge-response system where the server sends the client a random string each and every session. The client hashes the password and the random string and sends it to the server as proof of authenticity. The server performs the same calculation to verify. However, the server needs to know the password (or password equivalent) in order to duplicate the hash calculation. SSHA precomputes the random strings (salt) and hashes the password with it, and stores both salt and hash in the password database. During authentication, the password is (or ought to be) transmitted plain within a SSL connection from the client to the server, then the server hashes the password with the stored salt and compares with the hash in the database. Every time you run "doveadm pw -s sha" a new random salt is generated, hence a new hash is produced even though you use the same password. You would use challenge-response in situations where the communication channel is insecure (i.e. non-SSL). However, the drawback is the password database contains enough information for someone to authenticate if it should fall into the wrong hands. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

The problem with "slowness" is that it can result from just about anything. I've seen reports of slowness caused by LDAP handups, filesystem and I/O polling, client issues, network issues, firewall issues, anti-virus stuff, resource starvation. That's just the stuff I remember. You'll need to dig further to reduce the scope of where it can be going wrong. I would suggest getting hints from - process tracing - network snooping - logs Test if it's a mail client issue by sampling more than one mail client (or better yet, talk IMAP directly to the server via telnet or netcat and download a large piece of Email). If that provokes a problem, work your way back to the server and do the same thing on the server itself (bypassing the network stack) and see if the problem still persists. Depending on what you find out, at least you'll know which side of the fence you should be looking at. (Also, asks yourself the obvious question: did you change anything before dovecot performance went down the tubes? New hardware? Patches?) Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Deleting files in sdbox
by Jeff Mitchell 28 Dec '14

28 Dec '14

Hello, I'm curious as to what happens if I were to manually delete files in an sdbox on the server. A long time ago -- I'm not sure how, as it was several years ago -- something happened and a number of users got a large number of mail messages duplicated. Literally duplicated -- all headers, all body content. I have a script that can find these duplicated messages (by ignoring the first few and last few lines of each message, and using SHAs to compare and find the duplicates). However, I don't see a doveadm style command to manually delete messages, except for doveadm-expunge. In the past I've used that with search queries but my experience is that trying to do many individual operations on individual files with doveadm-expunge can be quite slow. So, if Dovecot is going to just say "huh, my indexes/metadata are wrong, lemme rebuild them", I'd rather just rm the messages and let Dovecot do its thing. Again, this is with sdbox storage. Dovecot version is 2.2.9. Thanks! --Jeff

Thunderbird supports SPECIAL-USE (Merry x-mas!)
by Patrick Ben Koetter 27 Dec '14

27 Dec '14

I've waited about two years to write this mail... :) As of Dezember, 24th Mozilla Thunderbird can handle SPECIAL-USE. The patch, which adds the required functionality, has passed review and TBs nightly build was successful. The next official Thunderbird release (version 38, release date 2015-05-19) will very likely ship SPECIAL-USE included. \o/ SPECIAL USE is an IMAP extension. It means less mailbox chaos for admins. But more than that it means less configuration work and easier orientation for end users. If IMAP server and client are capable of SPECIAL-USE [1] the server may tell the client some of the folders (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash etc.) are reserved for SPECIAL-USE. Any client, capable of SPECIAL-USE, may adapts its local folders to the servers view. It may map e.g. "Sent Items" to "Sent", "Deleted Items" to "Trassh" etc. pp. All this takes place automatically. No more user interaction. No more locale problems. When all components - server, desktop-, webmail-, and mobile client - can handle SPECIAL-USE live becomes easier. Clients don't create their own 'special folders'. They understand special folders already exist and adapt. No more superfluous ambiguous folders. Users will know where their messages have been stored. Note: Combined with automx [2] users will only have to enter their realname, mail address and (optional) password and their client will setup all the rest automatically. SPECIAL-USE started as a suggestion to friends at IETF. We sponsored its implementation in Dovecot [3], when it had become a RFC standard. Then we took out to bring it to Thunderbird. This took use longer than expected. The moment we had begun to work on it, Mozilla withdrew most people from the Thunderbird team and reassigned them to Firefox OS. Things slowed down significantly and Microsoft Outlook became the first mail client to adopt SPECIAL-USE. Two years later - together with Ben Bucksch (Thunderbird developer) - we finally succeeded and it is about time to close the RFE [4]. Nobody should have to spend more time than required to configure their client. Everyone should be able to focus on their primary goal - communication via mail. We - sys4 and our business partner Becon - sponsored SPECIAL-USE. I hope SPECIAL-USE will make your and your customers life easier. The patch just became ready for x-mas. :) p@rick P.S.

Awfully slow dovecot

doveadm pw generates different hash each time it is invoked !?
by reik red 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

I am absolutely dumbfounded by "doveadm pw". My understanding is that the command should be used to create a hashed password that should in turn be placed into /etc/dovecot/passwd Here comes the "dumbfounded" part. I was creating a new virtual user, running doveadm pw to generate the hashed password. But when I tried to login via imap, the password was rejected. So I started checking that I had populated /etc/dovecot/passwd with the correct values, and in the process I ran "doveadm pw" again to make certain I had not accidentally pasted the wrong value along with a username. (I'm re-submittting after setting up a subscription, so I don't have to wait for the moderator) , What happened next surprised me greatly: if I specify "-s ssha", the resulting hashed password changes each time I invoke "doveadm pw", but if I do not specify the hashing method, I get the same password each time (as I expect). What on earth is going on here? There must be something fundamental that I am missing. ============================================== Illustrative example: machine(user) 6136 > doveadm pw -u joebob Enter new password: Retype new password: {CRAM-MD5}00747cf2ffaf11c5ea4a64979c3901fc1d20dee13f480bb598f7d8575b23e61b machine(user) 6137 > doveadm pw -u joebob Enter new password: Retype new password: {CRAM-MD5}00747cf2ffaf11c5ea4a64979c3901fc1d20dee13f480bb598f7d8575b23e61b #SAME, as expected machine(user) > doveadm pw -u glorg Enter new password: Retype new password: {CRAM-MD5}00747cf2ffaf11c5ea4a64979c3901fc1d20dee13f480bb598f7d8575b23e61b #another surprising behavior: The (virtual) username specified does not affect the hash!!! machine(user) 6138 > doveadm pw -u joebob -s ssha Enter new password: Retype new password: {SSHA}AtjINkQra967qIhU6khRED4U1x3aKwDi machine(user) 6139 > doveadm pw -u joebob -s ssha Enter new password: Retype new password: {SSHA}fZiFlHPKDn6ESM/gnUIcjJ14hRlH10DV # DIFFERENT, very unexpected ============================================== I'm on fedora 19, using dovecot.x86_64 version 1:2.2.15-1.fc19 per yum.

director + lmtp + ldap user
by Lazy 25 Dec '14

25 Dec '14

Hi, recently I have migrated our prevoius dovecot-lda to 2.2 with director + lmtp. And we are having some issues. When lmtp delivers to ldap uid names everything works except sieve vacation (login is not found in headers so reply is not sent). When using full email addresses in rcpt to vacation works but usernames are inconsistent (one user can login using his email address, or aliases, or uid). To fix that in ldap settings a have added uid=user which should be setting the username to approperate values. Most of the times it works but some deliveries are using email addresses not ldap uid's which seems to break dict quota's. It's must be related to auth cache (flushing the cache fixes the issue temporarly for given account). I think that the cache can be "polluted" by some other dovecot service. Does anyone have an idea where this can be comming from ? doveadm auth lookup -f user mon(a)test.com returns expected ldap uid no email address Thanks in advance for any help.

Maildir permissions on creation?
by Von Random 24 Dec '14

24 Dec '14

Hello. In my configuration dovecot reads home from mysql and uses no variables within it. It uses Maildir++ storage with virtual users. I also happen to use LMTP. I want to use a backup solution that does not involve running itself as root. Neither do I want to run it as dovecot's mail user. And there lies the problem: dovecot creates maildirs with 0700 and files within them inherit that set of permissions. And there seems to be no sane way to control it. I think I've figured out what to patch in order to change that default, but if possible, I'd like to avoid doing that. tl;dr: is it possible to change the default set of permissions for new maildirs created by dovecot?

Configuring LMTP/IMAP proxy
by Le Moing, Guenhaël 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Hi, First, my version: [root@centos1 conf.d]# dovecot --version 2.2.15 [root@centos1 conf.d]# I have already configured dovecot that way (on one single VM, so everythinh is stored on the same machine) - A post fix server sending out to LMTP - LMTP is the dovecot LMTP server, configured with "lmtp-proxy= no", - LMTP checks the users receiving messages by using Linux passwd file "userdb" section in auth-passwdfile.conf.ext, - IMAP LOGINS are authenticated using DIGEST-MD5 also configured in auth-passwdfile.conf.ext : - # Authentication for passwd-file users. Included from 10-auth.conf. # # passwd-like file with specified location. # <doc/wiki/AuthDatabase.PasswdFile.txt> passdb { driver = passwd-file args = scheme=DIGEST-MD5 username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users.DIGEST-MD5 #args = scheme=CRAM-MD5 username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users.CRAM-MD5 } userdb { driver = passwd # Default fields that can be overridden by passwd-file #default_fields = quota_rule=*:storage=1G default_fields = uid=root gid=root home=/home/%n # Override fields from passwd-file #override_fields = home=/home/virtual/%u } This works fine, I can send messages through SMTP, and read them using IMAP access. But now, I woukd like to have amore structured architecture with : - A LMTP server configured as PROXY : has to identify the user, and proxy the request to the backen LMTP server (where its mailbox will stand) - On backend, I also have to start another LMTP serevr, but not configured in proxy mode of course, - Same for IMAP : IMAP proxy first checking LOGIN credentials, and then forwarding to IMAP server running on backend. As a first step, I would like to continue using my files to authenticate uses (so passwd file , and users.DIGEST-MD5), but final goal will be using a MySQL DB. So my main question are : 1) I just made a test and changed "lmtp_proxy" to "yes" in my 20_lmtp.cong file, but, strangely, this did not cah nge anything ! The LMTP process still receives mails and stores them on the local host , 2) Are there any documentation describing this process in details ? I only found some pieces on wiki pages, but not enough unfortunately ... 3) Are there some configuratiion files ready to use for my configuration. Thanks in advance. Cordialement. Guenhaël.

zlib, mdbox and spam filtering scripts
by Philon 23 Dec '14

23 Dec '14

Hi all, I am quite happily running a dovecot setup with maildirs. This was once running courier but since the migration I have never ever looked back. Now, with growing userbase I’m looking into using zlib compression and mdbox instead of maildir. This seems to go quite well using dsync on a testbed server. So let’s go production! Before final decision I came across this: - I’m using a spam learning address, where users forward their mails to train SpamAssassin. - there is a cron script on the server, mime-stripping the attachments and feeding them into SA - works quite well even for the still numerous POP users So well… compression ok, I could add a gunzip into the script and go from there. But mdbox seems only accessible via dovecot. I don’t think that accessing via IMAP makes sense for a local script. So I would block myself out when using mdbox. How are your spam/ham training routines? How do you feed SA? thank you! Philon

Hello I have a problem with lmtp delivery to usernames with '-' char. Everythong after - is ignored. when delivering to test-test2 the error message is. User doesn't exist: test I suspect this is a sideefect of auth_username_format = %Lu I have tried %Ln without success. Imap works without problems for those users. How can I disable this mapping for lmtp and use verbatim username for lookup. Thanks in advance for any answers.

LDAP: Connection appears to be hanging, reconnecting
by Matthias Egger 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Hello List I have a strange problem here which i try to analyse, but i'm stuck. Maybe someone has a hint? What happened: A few weeks ago one of the LDAPS Servers which is not maintained by us has crashed. From that moment on, users could still login to check their emails, but they were not able to send any email through postfix (which uses smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot) What i do not understand, is why did dovecot not switch to the second configured LDAPS Server? It looks like it retried for ever to reconnect to the crashed LDAP Server. From the moment of the crash we see a lot of Errors like these in our logfiles: Nov 30 16:51:53 servername dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.error] auth: Error: ldap(userone,USERS_IP1,<WKiTeBUJQQBUSAnE>): Connection appears to be hanging, reconnecting AND Nov 30 16:51:59 servername dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.error] auth: Error: plain(usertwo,USERS_IP2,<QgJvcBUJqABTTWrJ>): Request 1982.83548 timed out after 151 secs, state=1 The used dovecot version is 2.2.13, runs on a solaris 10 system and the configuration for passdb and userdb are: passdb { args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf default_fields = deny = no driver = ldap master = no name = override_fields = pass = no result_failure = continue result_internalfail = continue result_success = return-ok skip = never } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf default_fields = driver = ldap name = override_fields = result_failure = continue result_internalfail = continue result_success = return-ok skip = never } And the dovecot-ldap.conf contains (obfuscated): uris = ldaps://server2.tld ldaps://server1.tld ldaps://server4.tld ldaps://server3.tld dn = ... dnpass = ... ldap_version = 3 auth_bind = yes base = ... scope = onelevel user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid user_filter = ... pass_attrs = uid=user pass_filter = ... The strange thing is, that with the very same binaries and configuration (okay, some minimal modifications have been made to bind to the correct interfaces...) a test on our testsystem works as it should. When we shutdown slapd, dovecot recognizes it an connects to the alternate LDAPS. When we shutdown slapd and start a netcat (just to let something listening without responding)... you guess it. Dovecot does recognize it and switches over to the alternate testsystem. So on our testsystem, everything worked as it should. But the productive system did not. And since the LDAPS are not maintained by us it is somewhat hard to try to reproduce something. At least i got the logfiles from server2.tld and server1.tld. But they only show what i still knew. Our server connected to server2.tld until the crash happened. But server1.tld never got any connection. Has someone an idea what i could try to find out why dovecot did not switch to server1.tld?

dsync summary?
by Randall Gellens 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Is there a way for dsync to report a summary of what it did? For example, when finished, it could report how many messages in how many folders were added (or deleted for a two-way sync) or had flags modified, and if any messages/folders were skipped due to errors or whatever. This could provide a sanity check that a sync looks like it worked. -- Randall Gellens Opinions are personal; facts are suspect; I speak for myself only -------------- Randomly selected tag: --------------- Hippogriff: An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin.

replication - more than 2 servers?
by Ron Cleven 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

We tested dovecot for a fair amount of time and decided finally to put it into production under CentOS 7 (we are running 2.2.10). I just joined the list, so I apologize for what is probably a question that has been answered many times, but I was wondering if there are any plans to implement replication among 3 or more servers (all "masters", as with 2)? As best as I can tell, replication seems to be limited to 2 servers, and it is not obvious to me even how more than 2 would be supported syntactically in the configs. That is, what might be an example of the "mail_replica" clauses if such a thing was supported?

Problem with TLS and Outlook 2010
by Wayne Andersen 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Dovecot 2.0.9 So I am trying to get my Outlook 2010 client to use TLS with Dovecot. The Outlook error that I get is: Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP): A secure connection to the server cannot be established. I have set the port to 143,993,995 none of them work, and the security to TLS. I have all of the certificates in the full chain installed on my machine and when viewing them they all show This certificate is OK. I have turned on Outlook logging and am seeing this: C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~2\Office14\OUTLMIME.DLLIMAP: 14:48:40 [db] Intializing connection [131383B0] IMAP: 14:48:40 [db] Setting internal codepage to 1200 IMAP: 14:48:40 [db] Connecting to 'mail.mydomain.com' on port 143.

Dovecot lda Panic: file mail-transaction-log.c
by Alessio Cecchi 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Hi, I'm running: # 2.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.6 (3e924b1b6c5c+) # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.10 with mailbox in Maildir format and LDA to delivery new email (+ sieve for filter) on the server there is an email account that is used for "archive", it only receives messages and nobody connects to it. Today dovecot was unable to delibery, via LDA, email in the Maildir and in the log i found the following error. Login via POP or IMAP works fine but is impossibile to delivery new email (the INBOX have about 135000 emails). I have delete all files in Maildir except cur/ new/ tmp/ and rebuild the dovecot cache, but the error is the same. Could be a sieve problem? In the user's home there was a file called .dovecot.lda-dupes.lock What is wrong?

Failed installation on Ubuntu with Postfix/Dovecot/Squirrelmail
by ghalvors78＠hushmail.com 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hello all, I did an install following a HOWTO document that has a fair number of positive reviews, but something went wrong along the way: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-mail-se… I made a couple deviations. I opted to not use StartSSL keys, and decided to stay with the default keys. Also, I chose to use Squirrelmail, but not Spamassassin. I tried to ensure that there are no issues with the Postfix installation (Dr. Venama and the team were quite helpful). I also had two Postfix book at my side, but I have none for Dovecot. While my goal is to get my server running, I would like to gain an understanding of Dovecot along the way, because sooner or later, it will break and I'll need to revisit the installation. First hint of a problem was that Squirrelmail would say the IMAP server dropped the connection on a successful login. So I went to a command line and used 'mail' to compose a test message from my laptop and see how the machine at Digital Ocean handled it. It didn't go over so well, in fact, it's generating errors as I'm writing this (every 5 minutes). For privacy, I swapped my domain name, for the generic example.com. Dec 14 20:24:18 example postfix/qmgr[13624]: EF3C0C0A17: from=<gary(a)Garys-MacBook-Pro.local>, size=597, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Dec 14 20:24:18 example dovecot: lmtp(21652): Connect from local Dec 14 20:24:18 example dovecot: lmtp(21652, bob(a)example.com) Error: user bob(a)example.com: Initialization failed: namespace configuration error: inbox=yes namespace missing Dec 14 20:24:18 example dovecot: lmtp(21652): Disconnect from local: Successful quit Dec 14 20:24:18 example postfix/lmtp[21651]: EF3C0C0A17: to=<bob(a)example.com>, relay=mail.example.com[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=168169, delays=168169/0.01/0.01/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (host mail.example.com[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.3.0 <bob(a)example.com> Temporary internal error (in reply to end of DATA command)) Now when I was checking that Postfix wasn't the likely problem, one of them mentioned: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2014-12/0189.html (Postfix-users archive) that I needed: namespace inbox { inbox = yes } But I'm curious why that I'm the only one that seems to have been nailed by this omission. A keyword search on 'namespace' only brought up a single comment. What are your thoughts? Below, I appended the configuration files that I modified. I tried to compress them to a minimum space for the list by omitting the comments. # # /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # !include_try /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/*.protocol protocols = imap lmtp pop3 dict { } !include conf.d/*.conf !include_try local.conf # eof # # /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext # driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=servermail user=usermail password=changed_it default_pass_scheme = SHA512-CRYPT password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'; # eof # # /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf # !include auth-sql.conf.ext # eof # # /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf # mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n mail_privileged_group = mail # eof # # /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf # service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { } inet_listener pop3s { } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { mode = 0600 user = postfix group = postfix } } service imap { } service pop3 { } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix group = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = dovecot } service auth-worker { user = vmail } service dict { unix_listener dict { } } # eof # # /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf # ssl=required ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem # eof Thanks for making it all the way down here!

virtual mailbox segfault
by Tóth Balázs 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hello, I have a segfault problem, and I can not resolve myself. The details below (stack trace, config....). Maybe important to reproduce, everithing working well until I connect with SoGo ActiveSync (SoGo web, and other IMAP clients are working well). So maybe the SoGo send something magical command if the user client use the ActiveSyn... (the IMAP debug attached too) Thanks, Balazs Toth Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0x000002ba68e83609 in array_count_i (array=0x52d1cf10b8) at ../../../src/lib/array.h:140

[2.3 feature request]: multiple passwords for single user
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hi. I wonder if there any plans of finishing "multiple passwords for single user" feature? Few months old thread mentioned this: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-July/097217.html and even a patch that unfortunately was never finished http://dovecot.org/patches/2.0/auth-multi-password-2.0.diff Multiple passwords for single user are great since allow easy password management for users. For example you could have one password on a laptop, one on a phone, one on a tablet. Revoking access to the device is as easy as dropping single password and it doesn't affect other devices. There are more use cases. Untill that happens (not that great) workaround exists: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases Thanks, -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

Userdb's and IMAP proxying
by Thomas HUMMEL 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Hello Timo, In order to plan a migration, I want to setup an IMAP proxy (proxy_maybe) with a dovecot server (I'm running the old dovecot-2.1.15 but I could upgrade or use a proxy only dovecot-2.2.x server)/LDAP pass et userdb's. I'm won't be in charge of the migration itself but I think the idea will be to migrate a chunk of users each night and then let the proxy send them to the new server. I wonder if, instead of altering my LDAP schema to be able to add the needed attributes (matching proxy/proxy_maybe, host, ...) I could use a second userdb (preferably in a file : passwd-file ?) only for those extra_fields (i.e. the second userdb would extend the LDAP one). As a matter of fact, I guess those who will migrate users will prefer writing to a file than to add some LDAP attribute in the user entry. In other words, can I get different extra_fields for the same user in different userdb's ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Groupe Exploitation et Infrastructure

stacking istreams and ostreams
by Philipp Brüll 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Hello, I'm developing an encryption plugin for dovecot and ran into a problem with the stacking of i/o-streams. The encryption i/o-streams are working fine on any kind of mail the test suite is passing through them. But as soon as the zlib plugin is enabled the logs show an cache error: failed: Cached message size larger than expected (214 > 206, box=INBOX, UID=1) I've already double-checked the return values of ostream's sendv and istream's read function. They seem correct (and equal). If the order of the streams are changed (by changing the number in the lib-filename libxx_scrambler.so); meaning that the encryption is done before the compression (which isn't efficient) both streams are working correct without any errors. Is there some way the zlib plugin changes the cached message size? Is there some behaviour of the zlib plugin that I'm missing? Any help would be very welcome. Best regards, Philipp -- simia.tech GbR http://simiatech.com

PATCH - add username_format to the PAM auth module
by Bradley Kite 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

Hi there, Other auth modules (eg passwd-file) allow a username_format to be specified, but not the PAM module. The use-case, is where I want a static userdb configuration which takes the domain into account but still want to use PAM for authentication, eg: userdb { driver = static args = uid=8 gid=12 home=/mnt/storage/mail/vhosts/%d/%n } passdb { driver = pam args = username_format=%n allow_pam_transform=no dovecot } The global "auth_username_format" setting ends up changing the username, so looses the ability to have different mailboxes based on domain. There is also a new setting, allow_pam_transform which stops the username being changed after a successful authentication. Normally, if PAM changes the username, then dovecot must update its record of the username for further processing - but in this use case we must disable this function. -- Brad.

Hello, just setting up mail hub with Postfix & Dovecot I have found BUG in LMTP implementation. * assumptions - latest stable Postix & Dovecot, - Postfix delivers via Dovecot LMTP (virtual_transport = lmtp:127.0.0.1:24), - Dovecot userdb & passwd lookups are made via custom checkpassword interface, - each user (email account) has different UID/GID * description LMTP process must run as root to be able to deliver msgs to each user. It drops privileges temporarily when delivering and then restoring effective UID/GID to root (saved one). The problem is, when an attempt with more than ONE recipients is made. More than one recipient within single session. It seems, that Dovecot LMTP restores root privileges not between each recipient delivery attempt but after whole transaction. The only solution is throttle Postfix to send single message with multiple recipients as many small transactions - all with only ONE rcpt. lmtp_destination_recipient_limit=1 makes this magic. Otherwise you can find: Dec 12 03:30:36 vm dovecot: lmtp(3580, info(a)xxx.com) Fatal: setgid(48672 from userdb lookup) failed with euid=33001, gid=43570, egid=43570: Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process group set to 4867 2 instead of 43570) Can someone confirm that this is an error/bug? Thanks Pete

[Corrected] Can't get shared public folders working

I'm trying to use a shared public namespace. My mail client says it exists, and I can telnet in and SELECT it, but sieve scripts can't write to it. The configuration in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf: # Shared namespace for Foo stuff namespace { type = public separator = '/' prefix = "#Foo/" location = maildir:/local/mnt/mail/shared:INDEXPVT=/local/mnt/mail/%n/shared:LAYOUT=fs # Use the default namespace for saving subscriptions. #subscriptions = no # List the shared/ namespace only if there are visible shared mailboxes. #list = children } I created the location, owned by the vmail user: $ ls -ld /local/mnt/mail/shared drwxr-xr-x 4 vmail vmail 4096 Dec 11 12:38 /local/mnt/mail/shared I created the subfolders, verified that they are there.

mdbox backup strategy
by Jiří František 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hi, now we backup maildir with rdiff-backup every single day. Backup takes almost 20hours. I would like to switch to mdbox, but how to acomplish possibility of restore emails from any date what I want? Now if I need to restore mails from the day before yesterday I put the right date to parametrs of rdiff-backup restore command and I get what I want. But if I use doveadm backup I have backup only from last run. Because we have tens of TB email I couldn't do full backup every single day. Is it possible to restore state of mailbox from backup run before the last run if I use doveadm? I don't want do full backup every day, because backup storage is not unlimited. Thank you Jiri

dovecot & Apple Mail & maildir & lots of Mail
by Thomas Klausner 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hi! I have dovecot 2.1.12 running on a mail server, and recently configured Apple Mail to connect to it using secure IMAP, for the first time. At the beginning it just showed the inbox and everything was fine, but then I wanted to look at some of my folders and found the 'subscribe' menu. When I opened it, Apple Mail went to discover what mailboxes there are, and that's where my trouble began. It seemed to make good progress for some time (though slow -- over days), and now lists the mailboxes from starting with letters a to d on the left hand side (filling all the visible space, so there might be more). However, whenever Apple Mail gets focus, the cursor becomes a spinning rainbow circle and I can't interact with it. I tried deleting the mail account and setting it up again. The inbox was shown again immediately and Apple Mail was usable, but the first time the cursor moved over the mailboxes on the left hand side, it froze again. There were two imap processes on the server, one rather idle, the other eating CPU for about two minutes, then idling, and some time later it disappeared too. My Mail directory is 31G with about 180 directories, each containing mails in maildir format. Has anyone had similar issues? Is my maildir too big for dovecot too handle? How can I debug this? Thanks, Thomas

Quota issue with mailbox.

Interpreting the last section: The transaction log records recent changes to a mailbox, and together with the index, gives the current state of the mailbox. This is an I/O optimization so that mailbox states changes are quickly updated without having to compare an entire index file with the last (in-memory?) index. For large mailboxes, this can save a lot of I/O. It may persist because updates to the indices are not done immediately (again, possibly to reduce I/O), so the current mailbox state is reflected by the index file *and* deltas in the transaction log. I suspect that you could remove the transaction logs (if you do not use dbox) and dovecot should rebuild them (or more likely, rebuild the indices). Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Renaming directories with subdirectories over IMAP
by Зинин Дмитрий Андреевич 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

Hi, I¹ve a problem with renaming directories with subdirectories. In root directory I create directory named ³lvl1² with subdirectory ³lvl2² When I rename directory lvl1 to lvl1-new I get: 1. /lvl1-new with subdir lvl2 but I can use only /lvl1-new and not /lvl1-new/lvl2 2. /lvl1 with subdir lvl2 but I can use only /lvl1/lvl2 and not /lvl1 Is it a feature or a bug? If bug is there a fix? PS: CentOS 6.6 and Dovecot 2.0.9-7 from official repository with all updates. Best regards, Dmitriy

I'm using "/usr/bin/doveadm purge -A" to purge the mdboxes of my users. Unfortunately this command terminates prematurely once it reaches a defective mdbox! Is there a workaround for this?

Dovecot Pre-Login Scripting
by Jeremy Hayden 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Hello, We are in the process of migrating users from one system that is currently not hosted by our company, to our dovecot 2.2.10 installation. We are planning on doing the dovecot dsync command for copying users mail over to the new installation, but the one snag we are running into is ensuring we are able to get the users credentials stored in our system. We are migrating the email from a Gmail ISP account to our installation as they are discontinuing their support next year. The setup is a multistep process we are hoping to accomplish. When a connection is started to our cluster, it will first check the database to see if the credentials match, if not it will verify against Gmail's servers. If the Gmail test is successful, it would pass the credentials to a script to store them for future login attempts. Once the authentication is verified and stored locally, we would run a post-login script to run dsync to copy the mail down to the new system. The problem we are running into is efficiently and appropriately hooking into the dovecot authentication process. We are unable to find anything regarding PreLogin Scripting to contrast the PostLoginScripting we are currently using, and the only other thing we are currently seeing as a possible option is running a custom authentication socket or password imap-login to a script. This seems like it would be a resource nightmare depending on the server load and are hoping for a more elegant option to be unveiled. Any other options or suggestions are welcome. We are also wondering, if we have to go with the custom authentication setup, if there are any examples out there to base our scripts off in setting it up. Thank you, Jeremy

Required SSL with exceptions
by List 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

I have a Dovecot cluster which is on separate machines from my webmail/caldav/cardav cluster, and I currently have the system setup with ssl = required. Unfortunately the caldav/cardav server I am running doesn't support STARTTLS so I was wondering if there is a way to still enforce ssl for every connection with the exception of a certain subnet, or if there is a better way to accomplish this without install a local install of Dovecot on each of my caldav/cardav servers.

Using dovecot with existing mbox hieararchy - possible?
by Chris Green 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

I currently use mutt to read my E-Mail on a machine which runs a postfix server to receive mail by SMTP. Mail is actually delivered to the final mbox mailboxes by a custom filtering script writtin in Python. Will dovecot happily serve mail from the existing hierarchy (obviously if I configure it right) so that I can connect using IMAP to my server machine to read mail? The mbox files are all under ~/Mail with several levels of directories in some trees. Does dovecot need any sort of notification from postfix (or my Python script) to indicate that new mail has been delivered or does it just re-scan the mbox files at intervals to see changes? -- Chris Green

sdbox and IMAP folders
by Jeff Larsen 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

We have just migrated from cyrus-imap to dovecot 2.2.9 on Ubuntu. By default, all our user's manually created folders appear at the same folder level as INBOX (i.e., they are next to INBOX, and not inside INBOX in a typical tree view of the folders). But on Dovecot, users are able to create new folders either parallel to INBOX or as subfolders within INBOX, which I think is going to lead to confusion for our users, especially when working from the limited UI of a smartphone client where folder hierarchy is not as easy to visualize. With cyrus, this behavior depended on the client setting for "IMAP server directory" as it is called in Thunderbird. If the setting was given the value "INBOX", then all folders were parallel to INBOX and you could not create any folder that would appear in the tree inside INBOX. With the setting empty, then all folders appeared as subfolders of INBOX. It was all or nothing. When the mail accounts were migrated to dovecot, the existing top-level user folders were created in dovecot at the same level as INBOX. We did nothing intentional to get this result. We just used cyrus2dovecot to export to maildir, then doveadm sync to convert to the final sdbox. With dovecot, when "IMAP server directory" is empty, we get the original folder tree with all folders parallel to inbox, but users are also able to create subfolders inside INBOX . We are using sdbox storage and the folder heirarchy as seen in the client tree (parallel folders and subfolders) is also reflected in the server's local file system. If we change the "IMAP server directory" setting on the client while using dovecot, then all the folders that were previously at the same level as INBOX become inaccessible, so that's not a viable option. So, my question is this: Can I replicate the cyrus behavior where INBOX subfolders are an all-or-nothing option? Or are we stuck with users (having questionable file management skills in the first place) getting lost between INBOX subfolders and top-level folders.

Missing hits when performing full-text searches
by Frerich Raabe 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hi, we're running Dovecot 2.1.7 together with Solr for efficient fulltext search. A couple of days ago we reinstalled our Solr server on a new machine. After adjusting our Dovecot setup to use the new server, it took a few days to notice that something seems fishy about our full-text search: expected hits wouldn't be shown among the search results. For instance, one of the folders (a shared, read-only folder which is basically a mailinglist archive) with about 210k messages has a plaintext mail with the text 'Amman'. However, logging into the IMAP server and issueing a . SEARCH TEXT Amman In the folder doesn't yield any hits. It seems that this happens for older mails only -- trying other keywords, we did notice hits in recent mails but not in older ones. Some caching related to the old Solr server causing issues? Debugging this further, I noticed that the above IMAP command shows this in the Solr log files: INFO: [] webapp=/solr path=/select params={fl=uid,score&sort=uid+asc&q=(hdr:"Amman"+OR+body:"Amman")&fq=%2Bbox:b68ece09e22fb9502d34010017227a26+%2Buser:""&rows=209392} hits=0 status=0 QTime=229 And indeed, something like $ curl 'http://indexer:8080/solr/select?fl=uid,score&sort=uid+asc&q=(hdr:"Amman"+OR+body:"Amman")&fq=%2Bbox:b68ece09e22fb9502d34010017227a26+%2Buser:""&rows=209392' Yields no results. However, I noticed that if I remove the 'fq=' part from the query then I get a bunch of hits. Alas, I don't know whether those are to be expected or not. Does anybody have an idea what might cause this, or what the meaning of that 'box' checksum is? -- Frerich Raabe - raabe(a)froglogic.com www.froglogic.com - Multi-Platform GUI Testing

userdb lookup not possible with only userdb prefetch
by Yves Goergen 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hello, I am setting up a new server and migrating my Dovecot 1.2.9 config to the new 2.2.9 version. There wasn't much to keep from the old version so I had to recreate the config from scratch. Now I think I'm done but I can't login to IMAP. The log says this: > dovecot: auth: Error: prefetch(box@****.de,2001:****:7765,<bzAOP5QJXwAgAQpgEAXJAZyOMB1qBXdl>): userdb lookup not possible with only userdb prefetch > dovecot: auth: Error: userdb(box@****.de,2001:****:7765,<bzAOP5QJXwAgAQpgEAXJAZyOMB1qBXdl>): user not found from userdb prefetch > dovecot: imap: Error: Authenticated user not found from userdb, auth lookup id=178651137 (client-pid=13711 client-id=1) > dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure (pid=13711 id=1) (internal failure, 1 successful auths): user=<box(a)****.de>, method=PLAIN, rip=2001:****:7765, lip=2a01:****:2, mpid=13717, TLS, session=<bzAOP5QJXwAgAQpgEAXJAZyOMB1qBXdl> That doesn't help me a lot.

Missing metadata on Dovecot 2.2.14, on Kolab 3.3, Centos 6.6
by Max Raafat 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

Hello everyone, We were trying to provision a system with Dovecot instead of another working cyrus kolab system. I am stuck with a problem with the metadata, especially when it comes to the Special Folders in Kolab 3.3, like Calenders, Tasks, etc, as well as any user created Folders. Emails work perfectly, and all the types are correct. But for example, If I try to change the type of Calenders, or create a new folder from inside roundcube and set it to type "Calenders", it stays at the default which is "mail". Therefore it causes problems, when sharing events, since they are displayed as "mail" type and not "event" type. We've tracked the problem down to the metadata not existing for special folders. A simple search only shows the default "mail" metadata, but nothing for shared folders, or special folders, etc. Here is the doveconf -n ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@m3 ~]# doveconf -n # 2.2.14: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.6 (Final) imap_metadata = yes mail_attribute_dict = file:Maildir/dovecot-metadata mail_gid = 5000 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = " acl" mail_uid = 5000 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / type = shared } 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 = separator = / } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } passdb { driver = shadow } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail user = vmail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = vmail mode = 0666 user = vmail } } service lmtp { executable = lmtp unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { address = 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 4190 } } service managesieve { process_limit = 1024 } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/m3.company.includingchain.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/m3.company.de.key userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " acl sieve" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " acl sieve" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " acl imap_acl" } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Would appreciate any help or ideas as to what I can do to fix this.

MD5-CRYPT/CRAM-MD5 vs SHA512-CRYPT/PLAIN
by ML mail 06 Dec '14

06 Dec '14

Hello, I am wondering which variant is more secure for user authentication and password scheme. Basically I am looking at both variants: 1) MD5-CRYPT password scheme storage with CRAM-MD5 auth mechanism 2) SHA512-CRYPT password scheme storage with PLAIN auth mechanism In my opinion the option 2) should be safer although it is using PLAIN auth mechanism. Of course I would always use STARTTLS and not allow unencrypted connection. What is your opinion? Best, ML

Size of array hosts, vhosts_count and modulo operation
by rub zorghy 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hi, Timo Sirainen wrote (May 19, 2010 1:50:34 am) : "When a connection from a newly seen user arrives, it gets assigned to a mail server according to a function: host = vhosts[ md5(username) mod vhosts_count ]" This hash function is it still used as it is without modification ? My another question sounds pretty innocent but I have doubts about vhosts_count. Taking two directors with three backend Dovecot as an example, the number of (v)hosts assigned for each host is "100" (default value of the vhost_count variable). I gather that the value for vhosts_count (to perform the modulo operation) and the size or length of the array (vhosts[]) in terms of number of elements are equal to 300. Thx so much. gdrub

doveadm backup gmail using imapc
by List 05 Dec '14

I am trying to sync a gmail inbox with dovecot 2.2.10 using the following config: imapc_host = 64.233.171.108 imapc_user = %u imapc_master_user = master imapc_password = secret imapc_features = rfc822.size imapc_features = $imapc_features fetch-headers mail_prefetch_count = 20 # If the old IMAP server uses INBOX. namespace prefix, set: #imapc_list_prefix = INBOX # for SSL: imapc_port = 993 imapc_ssl = imaps #imapc_ssl_ca_dir = /etc/ssl imapc_ssl_verify = no And the doveadm command: doveadm -D -o imapc_user=test(a)domain.tld -o imapc_password=password backup -R -x '\All' -x '\Flagged' -x '\Important' -u test(a)domain.tld imapc: I am getting the error: dsync(test(a)domain.tld: Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted. What I really want to do is just sync Gmail's inbox, drafts, sent, trash/archive, and spam folders to my new system. Is this possible using imapc?

Dovecot Director and Dovecot proxy
by rub zorghy 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hi, Dovecot Director is used to keep a temporary user -> Dovecot backend server mapping. So, Director decides which backend handles each user and the user is always redirected to the same server. All user data is stored in shared storage (NFS). The Dovecot presentation featured during this webinar <http://knowledgebase.open-xchange.com/fileadmin/user_upload/open-xchange/mi…> mentions (slide 7) a Dovecot proxy cluster (doing credentials and user info lookup) behind the LB device (F5 Big-IP) Why Dovecot Director server isn't used to perform this without Dovecot proxy ? Thus, the load balancer (F5 Big-IP) can distribute requests based on IMAP protocol to Dovecot Director cluster. Thx so much. gdrub

speed up doveadm search
by Vu Ngoc VU 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

Hello, I have recently migrated our mail accounts from old setup with courier-imapd to Dovecot 2. I thought that I can search quicky messages in mailboxes with doveadm because of indexes. Our users are asking (sometimes) to remove messages that they have sent wrongly. Some of them are coming from Exchange, and there is a feature in Outlook to recall (to delete) a message. So basically, they give me some infos (date, sender, subject) of message to remove. And I planned to do "doveadm search", then "doveadm fetch" and at last "doveadm expunge" on the found results. But it appears that the first run of doveadm is very slow. I don't know if it is because some indexes/caches are missing at this time. But when I run again same commands it is fast. Could you tell me if I speed up search on our maildir storage? I have no idea if I must manually (or with cron) run "doveadm index" on all our accounts because index/cache is only generated when users access their mailboxes. Or do I have to tune some settings like : mail_always_cache_fields, mail_cache_fields, mail_cache_min_mail_count, mail_never_cache_fields Thanks
