mdbox + sis + altstorage: error in attachments-connector (file not found)
by Paolo Cravero 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Hello, first time here. I am playing with Dovecot because of its mdbox storage, SIS feature and altstorage ability. I authenticate against LDAP (passdb), but I don't fetch operational data from LDAP (mail_locations are static from config files and "user_attrs = =uid=500, =gid=500, =home=/maildata1/home/%d/%1n/%n"). On a daily basis I run "doveadm altmove -A savedbefore 5d" Thunderbird apparently works 100%, but only apparently. When accessing one of those mailboxes through Open-Xchange IMAP I got an error for the first time. Then I could reproduce it with Thunderbird as well, I simply had to open the message mentioned in the log: Feb 26 14:06:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(paolo.cravero(a)csi.it): Error: read(attachments-connector(/maildata1/altstorage/csi.it/p/paolo.cravero/storage/m.35)) failed: read(/maildata1/attachments/40/68/40683f07fcbf1f95f09b273e472b3c7067f43210641baf6e3cce333a27b36e11-4a235a29fd05db54fd6800001117ea21[base64:19 b/l]) failed: open(/maildata1/attachments/40/68/40683f07fcbf1f95f09b273e472b3c7067f43210641baf6e3cce333a27b36e11-4a235a29fd05db54fd6800001117ea21) failed: No such file or directory (uid=5940, box=INBOX) Feb 26 14:06:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(paolo.cravero(a)csi.it): Error: read(attachments-connector(/maildata1/altstorage/csi.it/p/paolo.cravero/storage/m.35)) failed: read(/maildata1/attachments/40/68/40683f07fcbf1f95f09b273e472b3c7067f43210641baf6e3cce333a27b36e11-4a235a29fd05db54fd6800001117ea21[base64:19 b/l]) failed: open(/maildata1/attachments/40/68/40683f07fcbf1f95f09b273e472b3c7067f43210641baf6e3cce333a27b36e11-4a235a29fd05db54fd6800001117ea21) failed: No such file or directory (uid=5940, box=INBOX) Feb 26 14:06:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(paolo.cravero(a)csi.it): Disconnected: Internal error occurred.

The detached attachment file does not exist. Sometimes not even the path is there (anymore?). At some point in time I have run "doveadm purge" on the mailbox in error, but I am not sure that is the culprit. Have I hit a bug or done something wrong?

dsync backup touch source index files.
by Anton Chevychalov 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Hi everyone, Can someone explain me why dsync need read-write access to source box when pulling data (dsync -R backup)? I am working on migration from Dovecot 1.x with maildir to latest Dovecot 2.2.15 with mdbox and found that there is no way to do this from ro filesystem (got "failed: Read-only file system" on access to /dovecot.index.log). I am wondering is it bug or feature? I am not sure that this is save to allow dsync v2.2.15 to have write access to v1.x indexes. -- Anton Chevychalov

"Temporary authentication failure" ? Cant connect with ldap user
by David Scheele 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Hello there, first time writing. I'm relatively new to linux and have been tasked with setting up the following configuration: Debian Wheezy Server Postfix Dovecot OpenLDAP So, I set up the Server, installed and configured postfix, ldap and dovecot (in that order) and now simply try to log into the mail account with a used from the LDAP over telnet. The test looks like this: *|> telnet localhost 143* *| a bunch of stuff ending with:* *| OK [**] Dovecot ready.* *|> a login username userpassword* *| a NO [UNAVAILABLE] Temporary authentication failure. [host and date here]* In the logs it says *|[date] mailserver dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP: binding failed (dn cn=admin): Invalid credentials* But I KNOW the admin password I entered into the dovecot-lda.conf.ext is correct as I use it to log into the LDAP directory over jxplorer I also know the password for the user i try to log in with is correct as i set it myself over and over just to be sure there are no typos. I'm at a loss, I've been at this end for a few days now and can't find good tutorials online because its either always an old dovecot, postfix, ldap or debian version and somewhere in the middle it just stops because some file is completely missing. I get the impression I'm just not able-brained for linux useage. Anyway, here are a few more informations about the system: *Dovecot version 2.1.7* Output of grep -v '^ *$#.*$\?$' dovecot-sql.conf: *hosts = localhost* *dn = cn=admin* *dnpass = [password]* *sasl_bind = no* *tls = no* *auth_bind = yes* *ldap_version = 3* *base = dc=[domainname],dc=de* *user_attrs = uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid* *user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u))* *pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password* Output of dovecot -n: *disable_plaintest_auth = no* *mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u* *[namespace config here]* *passdb {* *args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext* *driver = ldap* *}* *plugin {* *sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve* *sieve_dir = ~/sieve* *}* *protocols = " imap pop3"* *ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem* *ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem* *userdb {* *args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext* *driver =ldap* *}* *protocol pop3 {* *pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh* *pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv* *}* Any help would be greatly apprechiated.... I'm going crazy over here. Thanks in advance, David

Metadata suport for public mailboxes
by Sergio Talens-Oliag 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

I'm using the latest version of dovecot (2.2.15) and I was trying to use a public namespace with metadata; I've found that it works for the users with enough permissions to set the metadata, but the values are set per user, that is, each user has its own metadata and does not see the values set by others. That sounds OK, as my mail_attribute_dict is configured as follows: mail_attribute_dict = file:/srv/vmail/%d/spool/%n/dovecot-metadata But for public mailboxes it would make sense to set the metadata in a user independent mode. Searching around I've found the following on the dovecot changelog: 2013-11-02 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> [...] TODO: - Metadata doesn't work for public namespaces. There should probably be a mail_attribute_public_dict setting for that. [...] So my guess that the mail_attribute_public_dict is not available. Is that the case or has it been implemented in a different way?

Updating Dovecot
by Luca Bertoncello 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Hi all! Currently I use Dovecot 1.2.9 from Ubuntu repositories. I'll try to upgrade Dovecot (to 2.2.15), compiling from sources. It seems not too difficult... :) Well, I see, that I have to recreate the configuration, since the old one can not be used with Dovecot2, OK, not a problem. Now: is there something special to be done to upgrade Dovecot or can I just stop the old version and start the new one and all runs without problem? Thanks a lot!

Conditional SASL authentication
by Luciano Mannucci 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Hello, I have a few users that are often hit by a trojan virus that steals e-mail user and password. Having a very little (if not null) power on their machines, I need to be able to block the outgoing mail wich is handled by postfix via dovecot SASL. Blocking it at dovecot level would be optimal, for the virus doesn't necessarily use the e-mail of the user as its from, just the user and password for the authentication phase. Is it feasible?

Permissions problem with mdbox maildir
by Emanuel Evans 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

Hi! Apologies if this has come up before, or if this is a duplicate posting (I tried posting before but I think it got lost). Anyways, I'm trying to set up an IMAP server with dovecot, and everything seems to be more or less working except that I periodically see error messages like this in my logs: Feb 18 01:01:15 stark dovecot: lmtp(31956, root(a)aleme.nu) Error: link(/var/decrypted/vmail/aleme.nu/root/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index, /var/decrypted/vmail/aleme.nu/root/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.backup.tmp) failed: Operation not permitted I'm assuming it's a permissions problem with my maildir, but I can't figure out what the relevant process is in order to fix it. The maildir is owned by vmail with permissions set to 700; here is the output of dovecot -n: # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.8 fuse.encfs mail_gid = vmail mail_location = mdbox:/var/decrypted/vmail/%d/%n mail_uid = vmail 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 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 = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { antispam_allow_append_to_spam = no antispam_dspam_args = --user;root;deliver=;--source=error;--client antispam_spam = Junk antispam_trash = Trash sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/before sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } service_count = 1 } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } user = vmail } ... <ssl stuff> ... userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " antispam" } As you can see, I'm keeping the maildir on an encfs-encrypted volume, in case that's relevant. Please let me know any ideas for why this might be happening. Thanks in advance! Emanuel

[Dovecot] Sieve vacation not working
by Phill Edwards 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

I've been trying all night to get vacation working in my .dovecot.sieve file. The way our email works is we have one account on dovecot which serves my mail and my wife's and we use procmail and sieve to put the emails in different folders depending on who it's for. I'm trying to set up a vacation reply on my wife's email address (aaaaaaaa@optus* below) so people can update to her new address. Here's my file with the email addresses masked: require ["fileinto", "vacation"]; if address :is "to" "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(a)ozemail.com.au" { fileinto "Phill_OzEmail_Folder"; stop; } elsif address :is "to" "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(a)optusnet.com.au" { fileinto "Phill_Optus_Folder"; stop; } elsif address :matches "to" "aaaaaaaa@optus*" { vacation "Please update my email address to bbbbbbbbb(a)exemail.com.au"; fileinto "Sarah_Optus_Folder"; stop; } else { keep; stop; } The problem I'm having is that no auto-replies are sent. I removed .dovecot.lda-dupes and that didn't help; so then I touched it and now it's a 0 byte file and that didn't help. There is no dovecot.sieve.err file and I can't see anything in /var/log/dovecot.log which gives any message about why this wouldn't work. The emails to aaaaaaa@optus* get filed into the right folder so I know the matching is working. I've also tried a reject recipe and that worked fine, so I know that it can send an email if it chooses to. So it's a complete black box mystery as to why it just won't send a reply. Regards, Phill

Using Dovecot IMAPC to collect mail
by Иван Колосов 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

Hi list. I was looking at Dovecot's imapc feature for some time. I am aiming to use Dovecot with imapc as a kind of "store-and-forward" proxy. If I understand imapc correctly, there are two connections at work — one between the client and Dovecot and one between Dovecot and backend. When the client asks Dovecot for mail, Dovecot will retrieve mail from the backend and then send it to the client. So the question is, is it possible to configure Dovecot with imapc in such a way that it would store the mail it passes to the client? Should I use mail filter plugin to do this? I am also quite confused about authentication in this setting. Let's assume we use 'plain' authentication mechanism, then what happens? I guess that the client just sends Dovecot its credentials, and Dovecot tries to authenticate with them at the backed, responding to the client accordingly. Is this true? Thanks.

Dovecot Director Issue/Bug when host=""
by Julian De Marchi 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

heya-- Been playing with dovecot today as I was learning about the features I haven't used yet like the director/proxy stuff. I setup a basic dovecot stack today which is 1 director and 1 IMAP dovecot server behind it. I have one user setup in MySQL and when I first changed from proxy mode to director mode I left the host column populated with the IMAP server. Once I confirmed this was working I then changed host to "" not NULL. When I then preformed my next check I got these errors(no details omitted as this is a test system): Feb 20 14:57:19 smtp-test dovecot: auth-worker(15423): Debug: sql(email3(a)example.com,10.107.0.8): query: SELECT email as user, password, host, 'Y' AS proxy_maybe, 'user' AS master, 'password' AS pass, 'any-cert' AS 'ssl' FROM virtual_users WHERE email='email3(a)example.com'; Feb 20 14:57:19 smtp-test dovecot: auth: Error: proxy(email3(a)example.com,10.107.0.8,<Zz0b430PigAKawAI>): DNS lookup for failed: Invalid input from dns-client Feb 20 14:57:19 smtp-test dovecot: auth: Error: close((null)) failed: Bad file descriptor When I changed the host data from "" to NULL all worked as expected. So the question is: is this a bug with the error output? It was kind of hard for me to diagnose at first without leaning on support in the freenode channel. This is very repeatable as it is a proper error, you can't resolve "". --julian

Xi autobuilds restored
by Stephan Bosch 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Hi, Xi had problems for more than a month now. I finally managed to access it yesterday, but it was a bit more broken than I anticipated. I had to re-install the whole system. It should now work as before. It is now Debian stable/amd64, so that is now also the master release, which is always built first. Regards, Stephan.

Re: lazy_expunge + mdbox
by fernando.figaro＠uol.com.br 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

It appears to me that this issue is related to how lazy_expunge and last_instance work with mdbox - that is different from maildir. With maildir, the message is moved to the expunged namespace only when the last copy is removed (example: from trash folder). With mdbox, first time when you move message from one folder to another, dovecot creates a copy in the expunge namespace. When you delete messages or expunge them from Trash folder (example, nightly 'doveadm expunge' cronjob) they are simply deleted because they already have copies at expunged namespace. @Timo, is that correct ? This is what I could understand from my tests. Thanks, Fernando De: fernando.figaro(a)uol.com.br Enviada: Quarta-feira, 4 de Fevereiro de 2015 23:15 Para: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Assunto: lazy_expunge + mdbox Hi, I'm studying an issue related to mdbox and lazy_expunge. If it is active in the imap configuration, when you delete a message (copy to new folder + expunge old folder), a copy is also sent to the expunge namespace. I realize that is something related to mdbox and lazy_expunge_only_last_instance and found almost no references except this one (http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/file/24d6708cea76/TODO) lazy_expunge_only_last_instance=yes + mdbox doesn't work, because refcounts don't update immediately One other suggestion I found was to disable 'move' capability. Does anyone has other news regarding this issue ? Thanks, Fernando

doveadm sync out of memory
by Casey Stone 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello: I've been looking forward to getting my mail server up to Dovecot 2.2+ to be able to use the sync mechanism. I run my own mail server just for myself, with a few different accounts, and want to keep a master and backup server in sync. I'm running the Ubuntu server 14.04.1 mail stack which features Dovecot 2.2.9 (and Postfix). My setup is to use system users (userdb passwd / passdb pam) with ~/Maildir. I'll post full sanitized output of dovecot -n if it seems necessary. I have not enabled any plugins (do I need the replicator plugin active?) I have in my conf a doveadm_password defined. Anyway, after setting up an ssl listener on the main machine and after considerable struggles with SSL, I was able to run doveadm sync from the backup server successfully for a small mailbox (around 78 MB) with this command: doveadm sync -R tcps:mainserver.example.com:12345 Since I run this command as the system user on the backup server (same system users as main server) it 'just works' for the correct single user with no further options required. My plan is to run a daily cron job to sync once daily for each user. The problem is when I try to sync a larger mailbox, say 1 GB, dsync-server on the remote (master) machine throws fatal error 83 Out of Memory. I already raised vsz_limit to 512 MB. Problems probably arise with mailboxes around 200 MB though I haven't tested specifically. So my question is, is this expected and I will need to give my VM much more memory to be able to use dovecot sync, or do I have something set wrong, or is it a bug? Thanks for your help.

how to run dovecot imap on separate server from postfix?
by Robert Fantini 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello we are using version 2.2.13 on debian. currently imap runs on the same system as postfix , spamassassin and other mail related software. I'd like to move dovecot imapd and mail storage to its own system. I've search google and wiki and could not see how to do so. could someone please point me in the direction to that done? I like reading documentation.. here is more info on our set up: postfix: # grep dovecot /etc/postfix/* /etc/postfix/main.cf:mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp /etc/postfix/main.cf:smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot kind regards Rob Fantini

Permissions for shared mail don't work
by Damien Desfontaines 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hello, (Sorry if you already received this mail. I sent it without having subscribed to the list, but I never got any confirmation; so I assumed it has been filtered by the anti-spam or something.) I'm using dovecot v.2.1.7 on Debian Sid, and the output of dovecot -n is available here: http://paste.fulltxt.net/C-O I'm trying to make the mailbox of (system) user "spam" available to user "ted". I followed these instructions: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions and it doesn't seem to work. To be more precise: - I manually (and recursively) changed the permissions of all files in ~spam/Mail to 660 (and 770 for the directories); - I manually (and recursively) changed the group owner of everything in ~spam/Mail to "mailperso", where "mailperso" is a group whose users are spam and ted; - I added « mail_access_groups=mailperso » into my dovecot config; - and I restarted dovecot. But still, when I send a new email to spam, it appears as being owned by group "spam" and having permissions set to 600, so I can't access it with user "ted". I also tried to set the setgid bit for ~spam/Mail, it didn't change anything, and when I recursively set the setgid for all subdirectories of ~spam/Mail, it gives new mails the correct group (mailperso) but not the correct permissions. Have I missed something, or is this a bug? Thanks in advance and best regards, Damien

Hi Steffen thanks for your reply. I found that permissions of some folders are different than others… After chmod all permissions to the same go= permissions, it works. No matter what happens to generate different permissions for only this one account. Because all other accounts are correct. I will have a look at this from time to time. As soon it not happens agains this thread is solved.

Dovecot fsync question
by Christian Binder Stadt Freilassing 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hello, I followed these steps in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/LocalDisk # Default to no fsyncing mail_fsync = never protocol lda { # Enable fsyncing for LDA mail_fsync = optimized } protocol lmtp { # Enable fsyncing for LMTP mail_fsync = optimized } This gives quite a good performance, but I'm not sure about the risks. Does it mean that things like *put a Sent Mail to Sent folder *change status of mails really don't get synced to disk for a long time (hours??). Or do we talk about seconds and everything is fine when dirty pages get synced by the system. cat /proc/meminfo | grep 'Dirty' lets me assume that there are always just a few KB in the dirty pages and these are written to disk every few seconds. Are the dovecot "mail_fsync = never" transactions inclduded there? Thanks a lot! Christian

Bern OpenVPN has --crl-verify that takes a file as well as a directory. I guess what you're saying is that accepts, but silently ignores the CRLs if put in the cert file. It would be nicest if all the software wanted things configured things the same way. Personally I like the way Dovecot does it, but having things be uniform would be even better. From my quick survey, a lot of the programs (or at least their documentation) doesn't support CRLs at all. Postfix wants multiple certificates specified by different .cf entries (it appears to not support CRLs--at least they aren't mentioned in documentation): smtpd_tls_cert_file smtpd_tls_key_file smtpd_tls_dcert_file smtpd_tls_dkey_file smtpd_tls_eccert_file smptd_tls_eckey_file smtpd_tls_CAfile Apache2.4 wants SSLCertificateFile SSLCertificateKeyFile repeated multiple times for different cert types. Making it worse, Apache2.4.8 wants the whole cert chain in the above, but earlier versions wanted SSLCertificateChainFile to have the non-leaf chain. Courier IMAP SSL wants TLS_CERTFILE specifying a file containing both the certificate and private key catenated. OpenVPN wants ca certificate chain used for signing.pem cert certificate.pem key privatekey.pem crl-verify crl.pem OpenLDAP appears similar to OpenVPN with (appears not to support CRLs): TLSCACertificatePath TLSCertificateFile TLSCertificateKeyFile Racoon wants (appears not to support CRLs): certificate_type x509 certfile keyfile ca_type x509 ca.pem But the man page doesn't talk about where the chain goes. So it appears one should generate the following file formats to satisfy all the software out there: 1. cert standalone (OpenVPN, Racoon, OpenLDAP, Postfix, Apache 2.4.7 and earlier) 2. cert chain (Apache 2.4.8 and later) 3. cert ca crl chain (Dovecot) 4. ca chain (OpenVPN, Racoon?, OpenLDAP, Postfix, Apache 2.4.7 and earlier) 5. crl chain (OpenVPN) 6. cert, key catenation (Courier IMAP) Getting all these configured the same way isn't going to happen, so I guess the next best thing would be a cookbook. Anyone know of one? -Earl

I'll give that a try -- I'll probably still get the odd orphaned process if the client changed address in the middle of a POP session. To close this out, I'll relate my experiments to asnwer the question I posed above in case it's of use to someone. Changing pre-authentication timeouts.

Mon Feb 16 16:02:11 EST 2015 General notes: Dovecot is chock full of these ad-hoc/default/RFC timeout definitions. The interaction of these timeouts between dovecot's internal components as well as remote clients is complex, and could cause problems if you change them. For example, our webmail system opens persistent IMAP connections, and if you set dovecot's idle timeout less than the webmail's idle timeout, the user will get an annoying re-login requests. It would be nice if this problem of mobile WiFi mail readers acquiring (and abandoning) new IPs could be handled in a more gracious way (reaping on a expedited schedule or LRU basis), but unless you really have to and know what you are doing, I would suggest not modifying timeouts.

Why not /etc/dovecot/private? That's where I put my dovecot certs. Dovecot's needs are a bit different from other software, and so it is unclear whether the files won't be unique to it. For example, I haven't seen the following before I read it on the Dovecot wiki: "The CA file should contain the certificate(s) followed by the matching CRL(s). Note that the CRLs are required to exist. For a multi-level CA place the certificates in this order: Issuing CA cert Issuing CA CRL Intermediate CA cert Intermediate CA CRL Root CA cert Root CA CRL" On 2015/2/16 06:42, Wolfgang Gross wrote: > On 16 Feb 2015 at 21:59, Nick Edwards wrote: > >> This directory in later times is where more and more distros are >> putting system wide server CA type certs, most distros are moving to >> this path, so the package maintainer should fix their script, maybe to >> /etc/ssl/private or such. > > Maybe not in /etc/ssl/private for security reasons? > 10-ssl.conf uses the same file name for certificate and private key; better > change this, too. > >> >> On 2/16/15, Wolfgang Gross <WGross(a)uni-hd.de> wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> this is not a genuine Dovecot bug, more a nuisance. >>> It applies to OpenSuse 13.2 but maybe also to other Linux's. >>> >>> The standard installation of Dovecot (especially 10-ssl.conf) places the >>> certificate dovecot.pem in /etc/ssl/certs. >>> Sometimes during updates does OpenSuse renew all certificates in >>> /etc/ssl/certs >>> and erases dovecot.pem.

Thanks for the note. I had never seen anything in the postfix and apache documentation that the CRLs could be intermingled with the CRTs in the CRT file. The documentation for those programs suggests putting the CRLs in a separate file (e.g. apache SSLCARevocationFile) or doesn't talk about putting CRLs in with the certs (e.g. postfix smtpd_tls_cert_file). If it works to put them all in one file for those programs, that's good to know.

curious when certain patches might become part of a release
by Benjamin Connelly 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

We ran in to this same problem others discussed in this thread: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-November/098927.html and have also applied the patches (31262a892ba7 and 80ed82a93c1a) and it seems to have stopped the panics. We usually just use the FreeBSD ports tree to install software, so I'm looking forward to the time when we can go back to that. Will those patches be part of the next release? Benjamin

[SOLVED] Thunderbird client certification validation fails with same profile but changed IMAP server software (Re: It works for two SMTP servers and cyrus-imap, why not Dovecot?)
by Daniel Dickinson 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

In hopes that searching may turn up the solution for others: The reason client certificate validation was failing in Thunderbird when it had previously succeeded with other servers (both IMAP and SMTP) is precisely that: the client and profile where the same ones used to connect to the server who's hostname hadn't changed, and email addresses and usernames were the same, and Thunderbird can't handle that. Keeping your existing Thunderbird profile when switching the IMAP server software running on the hosting server doesn't work even if you change all the configs that should matter (rename old accounts out of the way, replace the server they are supposed to be contacting with blank, and so on) and create new accounts within the same profile. The workaround for this bug in Thunderbird is to move the old profile out of the way and start fresh. The apparent cause of failure (invalid cert messages and other messages that make it look like it's a configuration or certificate/CA file issue) actually has nothing to do with the actual issue and is a major red herring. Sorry for the noise, back to regular scheduled program... Regards, Daniel On 2015-02-12 6:29 AM, Daniel Curran-Dickinson wrote: > Ok, the patch doesn't actually fix the bug.

Howto NTML
by Mark Foley 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Has anyone gotten NTLM working with Dovecot and Outlook? I have a Samba4 domain controller / active directory running just fine on Linux Slackware64 14.1. PLAIN authenticiation works just fine if I create /etc/passwd accounts for the domain users. I've tried for over two weeks to get NTLM working from Outlook 2007 on a domain workstation without success. I end up with various permission errors and ultimately procmail won't deliver if I "adjust" mailbox folder permissions too liberally. Also it seems I have to log in each time in Outlook. If someone has made this work, I'd be very interesting in seeing the doveconf -n output, the permissions on the mailbox directories, the nsswitch.conf, and anything else you had to tweak to get this working. I'd really love to have AD authentication working on this setup! --Mark

Enabling mod-sequences
by Luca Bertoncello 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Hi list! I have Dovecot 1.2.9 from Ubuntu repositories on my server. Now I installed Horde and it give me sometimes the error "Mailbox does not support mod-sequences". Well, I must say, that I didn't know these mod-sequences, but I can' know all... Well, the question now is: how can I enable the support of the mod-sequences on the mailboxes of my Server? I searched in the Dovecot-Wiki, but I didn't found anything... Thanks a lot for your help Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

Dovecot dsync not replicating ".dovecot.sieve -> .sieve/managesieve.sieve" / setactive
by Martin Štefany 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hello, I've ran into problem with Dovecot and dsync replication. Everything works perfectly, including replication of sieve scripts, except fact that if user activates the 'managesieve' ruleset (I'm using currently Roundcubemail) on "mail1" host, it wouldn't be activated on "mail2" host, by creating symlink ".dovecot.sieve -> .sieve/managesieve.sieve". I've also tried to use 'replication_full_sync_interval', but symlink is not created anyway. I found 2 references already for this problem, but none came to any conclusion: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2014-June/096650.html

[Patch] Allow for more than one recipient_delimiter (a la postfix 2.11)
by Lennart Weller 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hey everyone, as my previous emails apparently got stuck in a spam filter I'll try this again. The patches attached here allow for more than one recipient delimiter in the address. Which is allowed in postfix since version 2.11. E.g. lhw+postfix(a)ring0.de would be equal to lhw-postfix(a)ring0.de if configured that way. Same as postfix only the first discovered delimiter is taken into account and the priority is first to last in the list. Lennart

Controlling inactivity timeout for IMAP
by Joseph Tam 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

I have a problem with a user who uses a wireless carrier that keeps changing his IP as he travels throughout the city. From the perspective of our dovecot IMAP server, the user keeps logging in from another IP, and after a short while, hits up against the mail_max_userip_connections limit. It takes 30 minutes before those orphaned connections times out. Is there any way to decrease the IMAP idle timeout other than to recompile dovecot with a new value? imap-common.h:#define CLIENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MSECS (60*30*1000) For example, will this work? service imap { idle_kill = 600 } Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[PATCH] Fix for client certificate validation does not work
by Daniel Dickinson 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hi all, As I reported earlier (with a typo in the work [BUG]) client certification validation *does not* work even if you do everything exactly according to all documentation and attempts at helpful advice. I have seen this issue with both startssl.com and self-signed certificates, and based on what I've seen from searching the web, this is a problem that has gotten little attention because most people don't bother, but are more than willing to give out useless advice on how to make it work. Furthermore the issue does NOT occur with the cyrus-imap mail server, so it is definitely a server-side issue. The actual issue is that the code for calling OpenSSL that constructs the client certificate validation is in fact WRONG. I don't have a perfect patch as I was mostly interested in getting it working for my needs and didn't bother with constructing the list of CA names to send to the client, preferring to let OpenSSL handle all that sort of thing. What it comes down to is that the code, which probably worked at one point, was not correctly updated at some point and since then client side certificate validation has been BROKEN. I have patched against 2.2.9, however I have seen this problem in the versions in both Debian Wheezy and Debian Jessie as well. As you will see from the patch (which is an attachment as people tend to complain that patches get mangled when you inline them, and even if I have a good client I've gotten heck because the receiver didn't. Regards, Daniel

Processing Maildir contents on message-by-message basis
by Jeff Kletsky 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

I (finally) moved over to Maildir storage here and would like to implement some "scripts" to manage taking actions on emails manually identified as misclassified as spam/ham. After reading through the Dovecot 2 description of how it works to try to see how it interacts with other processes changing the files. I'm concerned that I would be corrupting the message indexes if I just go hog-wild and run the scripts on the filesystem, rather than through Dovecot in some way. The types of actions taken would likely be: * Select a message from a given mailbox (the "source") * Potentially modify it drastically (remove spamassassin markup, for example) * Pipe the modified message to a mail-delivery agent (still running procmail here) and/or to sa-learn * Assuming successful completion of the pipe action(s), remove the source message from the mailbox While I can use doveadm to do bulk move/delete actions, I don't see a clear way to iterate through a set of messages and perform actions on them. First off, if I wrangle and mangle the message files directly, do I have to worry about the indexes, or do the indexes "magically" repair themselves in cases where the messages are either altered (including headers) or removed? Have I missed a way to iterate over messages and process it using external tools using the dovecot tools? Has this been discussed ad nauseum and I somehow missed it? (If so, for which I apologize profusely). Thanks, Jeff

When using CRYPT to encrypt the password, you must put the following in dovecot-sql.conf.ext default_pass_scheme = CRYPT I hope this can help more people, in addition to leave you as I did my query: password_query = \ SELECT password \ FROM users WHERE login = '%u -- editor de sueños

Per-protocol ssl_protocols settings
by Gionatan Danti 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi all, I have a question regarding the "ssl_protocols" parameter. I understand that editing the 10-ssl.conf file I can set the ssl_protocols variable as required. At the same time, I can edit a single protocol file (eg: 20-pop3.conf) to set the ssl_protocols for a specific protocol/listener. I wander if (and how) I can create a different listener for another POP3 instance, for example listening on port 10995, and using another ssl_protocol setting. In short, I would like to create a different, firewalled pop3s service enabling the SSLv3 stack, while disabling it at system-wide settings. I am able to successfully create a new listener for port 10995, but I don't understand how to associate the ssl_protocols value to the new listener. Simply putting the ssl_protocols value into the listener section give me a configuration error. Thank you all. -- Danti Gionatan Supporto Tecnico Assyoma S.r.l. - www.assyoma.it email: g.danti(a)assyoma.it - info(a)assyoma.it GPG public key ID: FF5F32A8

Hi friends, I am migrating imap-courier to dovecot, I use openbsd+postfix+imap-courier, and now I'm trying to run openbsd+opensmtpd+dovecot.

Best way to delete an user mailbox with mdbox format and all attachments detach/dedup ?
by Tan 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hello everybody, On a Dovecot 2.x, what is the best way to delete an user mailbox when : * all attachments for all users detach in a common directory (mail_attachment_dir = var/mail/attachments ). * attachments use SIS deduplication (mail_attachment_fs = sis posix) * mailbox are in mdbox Trying to delete user mailbox directory (rm) and do the command : doveadm -v purge -u johndoe , all attachments of this user are orphelins. In another way, is there a dovecot command to delete or to synchronize attachments ? Best regards, TaN

Mails Not Deleting in first POP3 Session
by Smith, Michael H. (GSFC-760.0)[NICS] 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

The dovecot -n output is attached to this email. Filename dovecot-n_filtered.conf. Dovecot Version: 2.2.10 OS: CentOS 6.6 MTA: Postfix version 2.6.6 The system is using dsync between two mailbox servers. Problem: When a pop3 session deletes a new message and the pop3 session ends, the message is not deleted. On a subsequent pop3 session, the same messages is deleted again and when the session ends, this time the messages is removed. This results in automated scripts getting duplicate messages. Previous mail server utilized postfix and dbmail. The problem did not exist. All of our replication settings are located in the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/12-replicator.conf. When I move the above file out of /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ on both mailbox servers and restart dovecot, the pop3 deletion problem goes away and the system behaves as expected i.e. when a messages is deleted, it's removed when the session ends (of course its not replicated to the secondary server). Numerous tests using IMAP and deleted messages behaved as expected.with or without replication Here is some additional information that I hope helps: Below I'm running watch 'pwd; ls -l; echo "../cur"; ls -l ../cur | tail -2' On the primary mailbox server: Every 2.0s: pwd; ls -l; echo "../cur"; ls -l ../cur | t...

Postfix , Dovecot & the Spam fight
by Leander Schäfer 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

Hi, I'm currently busy with a substiution of my current mail server. I'm currently using * Clam-SMTP and * SpamAssassin to fight Spam. I wonder if it is worth implementing AmaViS with SpamAssassin backend instead and also using AmaViS to speak to clamd directly. But I more and more wonder wether AmaViS is even worth it?! It currently looks to me as if AmaViS is eating LOTS of ressources and it is very uncomfortable for automated installations if you have to do dynamic batch changes on the AmaViS configs - sed(1) is your friend but this hectic escaping and workarrounds is really not sustainable to maintain. So my question is: Does AmaViS have any advantages compared to the current setup? I don't seem to find lots of qualified discussions for this on the net. The AmaViS related articles I found are freaking old. Would be nice the get your best practice as a change. Thanks a lot Best regards Leander

doveadm quota get doesn't recalculate quota (Maildir backend)
by Teodor Milkov 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Hello, I've noticed that "doveadm quota get" doesn't recalculate quota if maildirsize file is missing for some reason. It just says quota is unknown, usage is 0. In contrast, vpopmail does regenerate maildirsize if it is missing. Reading the Maildir++ specification there is this part: ...If maildirsize does not exist, or if its size is at least 5120 bytes, recalculate it using the procedure defined above, and use the recalculated numbers... One seemingly legitimate reason for maildirsize to be missing is when vpopmail mailbox is set to NOQUOTA (i.e. no limits). My workaround to this is to use a fallback quota: quota_rule = ?:messages=10000000 That is, if there's no backend limit detected (missing maildirsize) then fallback to 10 mln message count quota. In this case doveadm quota get _does_ recalculate usage and even creates maildirsize file. So, my questions are: 1. Isn't it still better to calculate and show usage even if maildirsize is missing? Because calling quota recalc and then quota get is racy - someone else may change configuration or usage etc. between our two calls (forks). 2. If there's good reason against implicit recalculation, then maybe quota get output should be more specific that neither quota nor usage are known? Instead of usage=0 show -1 or "-" or "n/a" or "unkown"?

Resubmission after N days
by Thomas Güttler 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Hi, I would like to implement a 43Folder system[1] with dovecot and a mail user agent. Use case: - I have a new mail in my inbox. I read it and see that I can't handle it now. I want to handle this mail in 5 days. - Now I want to have some sort of resubmission: the mail should be moved to a different location for these 5 days. - After 5 days the mail should be moved to my inbox again. How can this be done with Dovecot/IMAP? I have programming experience, but I am new to Dovecot/IMAP. I would like solve this with Dovecot only (without a database or web server). Does the IMAP protocol over methods which could help? [1] 43Folder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tickler_file -- http://www.thomas-guettler.de/

dsync and smooth conversion of Maildir to mdbox
by Sven Strickroth 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Hi, I was experimenting with dsync for Maildir to mdbox conversion. Two isses arised there: * "subscriptions" only contained subscriptions of that namespace, all others were lost - Is there any configuration missing on my side? * "dovecot-acl-list" and "dovecot-acl" shares/permissions were not synced; UPDATE: if I also add "acl" to "mail_plugins" when running dsync (using -o mail_plugins="acl zlib") it works, however, all documentation, e.g. the wiki2, only mention to add acl to lmtp/lda and imap services. - Is there any problem adding acl to "global" mail_plugins? Regarding shared namespace: I cannot convert all mailboxes at once and have to do it mailbox after mailbox. The setting "location = maildir:%%h/Maildir" won't work as some mailboxes are already converted and others aren't. Is there a way to cope with that?

Interface for managing users?
by Thomas Moulia 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Hey all, I'd like to use dovecot as an testing/benchmarking IMAP server for switchboard (https://github.com/thusfresh/switchboard) As part of the tests, I need to add and destroy dovecot users. Is there an interface or tool for this sort of user management at a higher-level than editing the user store, e.g. passwd-file, sql, ...? Also, more generally, are there any tools for using dovecot to test against? Thanks! -Thomas

dovecot.index.log in Maildir/cur

I'm seeing two bogus messages appearing my Maildir/cur directory. They're dovecot.index.log and dovecot-uidlist. -rw------- 1 gsexton users 51 Feb 4 09:04 Maildir/cur/dovecot-uidlist:2,S -rw------- 1 gsexton users 244 Feb 4 09:04 Maildir/cur/dovecot.index.log These files are only appearing in the Maildir/cur directory, and not in any other directory that mail is delivered to (e.g. mail list directories). I'm using the current version of Mozilla Thunderbird as my mail client. Mail is delivered to Maildir/ by procmail. I was originally using Courier, but changed to dovecot. I did run the conversion program on all the mail boxes. Other than these If anyone could help me understand what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.

That really doesn't change my answer, but since you control the entire DNS chain of query and response, you can further debug it at the server end via logs or network tracing. And you should still run a comprehesive DNS trace (e.g. http://dns.squish.net/) since a misconfiguration could still cause your DNS resolver to go on wild goose chases. In either case, it's probably not Dovecot related. If you want to triage it, just enter static entries into your proxy's /etc/hosts file. Or use bare IPs in your configurations.

Block folder names in IMAP

Hi, I just merged to Maildir "/" as separator with a fs layout. So I am afraid of running into problems when someone creates a folder named "new", "cur", etc. ... I know I could work this around, but isn't there a way to block folders by their name from being created? Thank you! -- André Peters

Bug when using METADATA and ACLs
by Sergio Talens-Oliag 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Hi, I'm trying to use the current version of dovecot as the IMAP server for Kolab and things seem to be working more or less OK, but while working on it I've found a dovecot bug that can probably be fixed quickly by someone familiar with the code. I've found the problem using shared folders, but it is related to ACLs and METADATA. The problem appears when a user only has the 'l' (lookup) permission on a folder and later tries to get METADATA from all his or her folders; a sample session to ilustrate the problem: A1 GETACL "foo" * ACL foo admin akxeilprwtscd -admin "" sto(a)iti.es lrwstipekxacd A1 OK Getacl completed. A2 SETACL "foo" sto(a)iti.es l A2 OK Setacl complete. A3 GETACL "foo" * ACL foo admin akxeilprwtscd -admin "" sto(a)iti.es al A3 OK Getacl completed. A4 GETMETADATA "foo" (/private/vendor/kolab/folder-type /shared/vendor/kolab/folder-type) A4 NO [NOPERM] Permission denied A5 GETMETADATA "*" (/private/vendor/kolab/folder-type /shared/vendor/kolab/folder-type) <CORE DUMPED> The dovecot.log messages are: Feb 05 13:59:12 imap(sto(a)iti.es): Panic: file imap-client.c: line 636 (client_command_free): assertion failed: (client->output_cmd_lock == NULL) Feb 05 13:59:12 imap(sto(a)iti.es): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x756cf) [0x7f55ab3da6cf] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x7572e) [0x7f55ab3da72e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f55ab38c575] -> dovecot/imap [sto(a)iti.es 127.0.0.1 GETMETADATA](+0x18c9e) [0x7f55abba5c9e] -> dovecot/imap [sto(a)iti.es 127.0.0.1 GETMETADATA](+0x18e9a) [0x7f55abba5e9a] -> dovecot/imap [sto(a)iti.es 127.0.0.1 GETMETADATA](+0x18ef4) [0x7f55abba5ef4] -> dovecot/imap [sto(a)iti.es 127.0.0.1 GETMETADATA](client_handle_input+0x115) [0x7f55abba61e5] -> dovecot/imap [sto(a)iti.es 127.0.0.1 GETMETADATA](client_input+0x75) [0x7f55abba65b5] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x5b) [0x7f55ab3ec51b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xbb) [0x7f55ab3ed59b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x9) [0x7f55ab3ec5a9] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f55ab3ec628] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f55ab391a43] -> dovecot/imap [sto(a)iti.es 127.0.0.1 GETMETADATA](main+0x2b7) [0x7f55abb9a717] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f55aaff7ead] -> dovecot/imap [sto(a)iti.es 127.0.0.1 GETMETADATA](+0xd889) [0x7f55abb9a889] Feb 05 13:59:12 imap(sto(a)iti.es): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 32404 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) And the gdb output is (my binary has no debug symbols, so I guess it is not really useful): (gdb) bt full #0 0x00007f55ab00b165 in raise () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 No symbol table info available. #1 0x00007f55ab00e3e0 in abort () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 No symbol table info available. #2 0x00007f55ab3da6c5 in ??

Hello, I am running a dovecot and proxy server on two different virtual machines and on the dovecot proxy server I see around 5-6 times per day the following warning: Feb 03 16:15:12 auth: Warning: proxy(email(a)domain.com,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,<ABC123456789>): DNS lookup for mailboxserver.domain.com took 1.550 s I do not really understand how from time to time DNS queries are slow, I tried replicate this issue using dig to resolve the same DNS entry and it was always very fast. Is there any way I can debug better this issue? or is this nothing to worry about really? Regards ML

lazy_expunge + mdbox
by fernando.figaro＠uol.com.br 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Hi, I'm studying an issue related to mdbox and lazy_expunge. If it is active in the imap configuration, when you delete a message (copy to new folder + expunge old folder), a copy is also sent to the expunge namespace. I realize that is something related to mdbox and lazy_expunge_only_last_instance and found almost no references except this one (http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/file/24d6708cea76/TODO) lazy_expunge_only_last_instance=yes + mdbox doesn't work, because refcounts don't update immediately One other suggestion I found was to disable 'move' capability. Does anyone has other news regarding this issue ? Thanks, Fernando

As another poster has commented, a slow DNS response may not be anything related to your setup, but caused by upstream DNS service. Slow DNS response or timeouts is not uncommon, and if you're only getting 6 per day, you should count yourself lucky. If it's the same FDQN that's being delayed, you can maybe run an online DNS diagnostic -- they're may be some bum delegation or unsync'd data you can report, but it will probably not be worth your time to chase this to ground unless it's causing your client to get hung.

Hitting wall at 2048 IMAP connections
by Ron Cleven 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

We are gradually rolling out Dovecot (IMAP only, no POP3) to our customer base. We are replicating between a pair of CentOS 7 boxes. All has been working wonderfully. However, to be sure our rollout continues to go smoothly, we put together a simple benchmark client program to fire up X persistent IMAP connections (using hundreds of mailboxes) that login, list the folders, select the INBOX, periodically FETCH an email from the INBOX, and otherwise sit in an IDLE loop. As long as we keep the number of concurrent IMAP connections under 2k, everything works fine. 2,000 processes generate a minimal load on the server. However, 2048 is a "hard limit" for number of IMAP processes on a box the way things are configured right now. The number (2048) is a bit too magical to be anything but a misconfiguration of either some kernel limit or a dovecot configuration limit. I have been unable to figure out where else to look. I have pasted in my dovecot config below along with the kernel setting for max_user_instances. Hoping someone can tell me what stupid mistake I have made or what else to check. Just an aside, we front-end this with a separate set of proxy servers that provide an SSL front-end, hence, no SSL in the dovecot config. /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances = 4096 # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.10.0-123.13.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Cor e) auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login default_internal_user = sysadm default_login_user = sysadm default_vsz_limit = 512 M disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = ************** doveadm_port = 12345 imap_max_line_length = 128 k listen = * mail_gid = 2001 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = notify replication mail_uid = 2001 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = 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 = scheme=PLAIN /z/imap/usr/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } passdb { args = scheme=PLAIN username_format=%u /z/imap/usr/users driver = passwd-file } plugin { mail_replica = tcp:imap0s sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_max_actions = 32 sieve_max_redirects = 4 sieve_max_script_size = 1M } protocols = imap pop3 sieve service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0666 user = sysadm } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0666 user = sysadm } } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0777 } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 } user = sysadm } service imap { process_limit = 4096 } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service managesieve { process_limit = 4096 } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 } ssl = no userdb { args = username_format=%u /z/imap/usr/users driver = passwd-file } protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve notify replication } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 40 } protocol sieve { managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 }

Corruption of index files
by Oliver Welter 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Hi All, after upgrading my mail server (dovecot 1.1.7 -> 2.2.13) I get tons of messages about corrupted index files in the syslog ("Error: Corrupted transaction log" and "Warning: fscking index file .. dovecot.index". I tried flock and even dotlock, but the problems persist. The system is a VPS with an overlay filesystem which did work flawlessly with the old dovecot install and is not reporting any errors in the host machine. From time to time I get warnings about an exceeded inotify limit for the dovecot user - might this be a problem? Anybody has an idea what might be the cause those problems and how to track them down.

quote strings passed to sql

Hello list. I'm thinking to migrate the hole user db from system users to mysql. I already did it in a test environment, but something is annoying my OCD... I don't quote the variables username and password sent to the mysql server. I know, the mysql user that dovecot uses only has select rights, but it stills bother me, because its possible to do an useless sql code injection. Is there a way to quote that? Something like exim's quote_mysql? Saludos, Juan.

Checking the logs I see: Dec 9 00:09:59 mailhost dovecot: lda(gessel(a)domain.com): Error: sieve: binary save: failed to create temporary file: open(/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/10-move-spam.svbin.mailhost.domain.com.114.) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +w perm: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve, we're not in group 6(mail), dir owned by 143:6 mode=0775) Dec 9 00:09:59 mailhost dovecot: lda(gessel(a)domain.com): Error: sieve: The LDA Sieve plugin does not have permission to save global Sieve script binaries; global Sieve scripts like `/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/10-move-spam.sieve' need to be pre-compiled using the sievec tool However this fairly clear advice on the failure seems to be contradicted by: # id vmail uid=5000(vmail) gid=5000(vmail) groups=5000(vmail),6(mail) ? dovecot-pigeonhole-0.4.6 = up-to-date with index dovecot2-2.2.15_1 = up-to-date with index uname -a FreeBSD host.domain.com 9.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE #0 r268932: Mon Jul 21 15:51:38 PDT 2014 gessel@host1.domain.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BARCELONA-13-08 amd64

Hello.

auth: Error: auth worker: Aborted request: Lookup timed out
by ML mail 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Hello, I was checking the errors on my mailbox server using "doveadm log errors" and found that around 2-3 times a day I get the following error: Jan 29 22:14:43 auth: Error: auth worker: Aborted request: Lookup timed out Any ideas if this is a bad sign? For example some timeout on my side which is too low or is it just an aborted connection from the side of the IMAP client? The configuration on my Dovecot mailbox server can be found here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/80823 It is a Debian 7 box with standard debian packages. Best regards ML

[Bug ?] IMAP keywords are not preserved during mailbox conversion
by Alexander Moisseev 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

IMAP keywords (Thunderbird Tags) are not preserved during Maildir to mdbox conversion. For mailbox conversion I am using the command: # doveadm -o mail_location=maildir:~/Maildir sync -u user(a)example.com mdbox:~/mdbox After conversion all Thunderbird Tags are lost. Is it a bug or expected behavior? -- Alexander

LDAP Quota Limits & Warnings
by Leander Schäfer 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

I found this on the dovecot wiki: The following limit names are supported: * *storage*: Quota limit in kilobytes, 0 means unlimited. * *bytes*: Quota limit in bytes, 0 means unlimited. * *messages*: Quota limit in number of messages, 0 means unlimited. This probably isn't very useful. * *backend*: Quota backend-specific limit configuration. * *ignore*: Don't include the specified mailbox in quota at all. As I understood it, all 5 limit categories are valid to use with maildir format while only "storage" and "messages" are valid to use with dmbox format, right? Also the "ignore" limit may appear more than one time for a user - like Trash:ignore and Spam:ignore, right? So I assumed following should work - and it does - except for "ignore" - even though LDAP does not hold multiple values for it - only a single one for each limit: user_attrs = [...] mailQuotaStorage=quota_rule=*:storage=%$, mailQuotaMessages=quota_rule2=*:messages=%$, mailQuotaIgnore=quota_rule3=*:ignore=%$ pass_attrs = [...] mailQuotaStorage=userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=%$, mailQuotaMessages=userdb_quota_rule2=*:messages=%$, mailQuotaIgnore=userdb_quota_rule3=*:ignore=%$ And unfortunately /var/log/maillog tells me: dovecot: imap(abuse(a)netocean.local): Error: user abuse(a)netocean.local: Initialization failed: Failed to initialize quota: Invalid quota root quota: Invalid rule *:ignore=Trash: Unknown rule limit name: ignore Yet /var/log/debug.log sounds a bit more promising ... but then again not really ... dovecot: imap: Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=maildir:/usr/local/www/default/mail/user@mydomain.tld dovecot: imap: Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:storage=1048576 dovecot: imap: Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule2=*:messages=10 dovecot: imap: Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule3=*:ignore=Trash dovecot: imap(abuse(a)netocean.local): Debug: Effective uid=2110, gid=2110, home=/var/vmail/user(a)mydomain.tld/mail dovecot: imap(abuse(a)netocean.local): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= dovecot: imap(abuse(a)netocean.local): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=1073741824 messages=0 dovecot: imap(abuse(a)netocean.local): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=1073741824 messages=10 dovecot: imap(abuse(a)netocean.local): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=1073741824 messages=10 Additionally, if one of the two working quotas (storage & messages) is exceeded than Dovecot sends out a warning from this setting: plugin { quota_warning = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u quota_warning2 = storage=75%% quota-warning 75 %u # What message to send to IMAP clients (and SMTP senders) when quota is exceeded? quota_exceeded_message = Quota exceeded, please go to http://MyDomain.TLD for instructions on how to fix this. } No my question is how to provide two different warnings. One for storage like: Sorry, you're mail storage is full. Please delete some. And a second for messages like: Sorry, you've too many messages. Please delete some. Thanks & Best Regards Leander

Re: Uniqueness of dovecot mailbox-guids

If mailbox guids should be unique systemwide, would it be safe to delete all 'dovecot-uidlist' files of the user's mailboxes and then do a doveadm force-resync after mailbox migration? Thanks!

Re: mdbox: Broken virtual size for mail UID ...

Is that correct? To create proper assessment of the damage, I need to know a bit more: 1. In the script on line 43, the comment says: # end of metadata block missing, finish the previous mail That seems to be wrong, since idx2!=-1 and state==STATE_BODY on that line, while I understand it should be -1 and STATE_META if we were still reading the metadata block. I guess it should be something like: # still in data block, finish the previous mail 2. Line 47 reads: # truncated / broken data? just keep writing to previous file That is the only error which could be detected in that script, right? 3. A message could also be corrupted by loosing its complete data block from \001\003 to \001\002, which cannot be detected in the script, right? 4. The only case to detect this and find other unexpected oddities would be to compare each msg.* in size and offset with the messages referenced in the dovecot.map.index file, correct? How do I do that, if the dovecot.map.index does not contain the GUID of the message? Do I need to fuzzy match the file_id, offset and size with my current values, or is there a more reliable way to do this? 5. Metadata refers to the RFC822 mail headers? Or are they also included in the body, and the mentioned metadata is dovecot-only metadata? If the latter, do they also contain the size of the body and similar information? Best regards, Dennis

Dovecot antispam
by David Mehler 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Hello, This is not specifically a dovecot issue, but to it's antispam plugin, that being the case if private responses are deemed so please do so. I've got a Postfix, amavisd-new, dovecot (delivery and sieve), setup with spamassassin. It's for the most part working fine, here's the problem, false positives and false negatives. The sieve moves spamassassin-tagged messages in to the Spam folder, sometimes it misses either a false positive or negative. What I'm wanting to do and this is where the dovecot-antispam plugin comes in is automatically retrain messages, a false positive or negative needs to be moved and reclassified accordingly. I've found a lot of google results indicating dspam, when I used this the results were terrible after three months of usage I gave up on it. I've thought about using spamc with dovecot-antispam to handle retraining or crm114, but not much on getting this going. If anyone has any information on this or any other non-dspam setup that would work I'd appreciate knowing about it. Thanks. Dave.

When I'm stumped, one of the diagnostic tools I use is process tracing. Connect via IMAP, in another window/session process trace the IMAP worker process (Linux: strace -r -otrace.dump {pid})), initiate the search and quit. Then you can look through the trace and see whether it gets hung on a particular operation. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>
