Indexing Mail faster
by Kevin Laurie 29 Jan '15

Hi, I am trying to get faster search results on our webmail client(Roundcube). Besides using Lucene for FTS are there other options? Would having all mails indexed give fast results? Currently the time it takes to search 25,000mails is 4mins. If indexed how much faster are we looking at? Really appreciate if someone could advise about this. Thanks Kevin

Uniqueness of dovecot mailbox-guids
by Christian Binder Stadt Freilassing 29 Jan '15

Sorry if this is a duplicate message. I'm new in this mailing list and not sure if the first message really got posted ... Dovecot version: 2.2.9 We're using doveadm backup to migrate user mailboxes from cyrus to dovecot. I defined a master user for the old cyrus mailserver in imapc backend to get access to all the mailboxes. Now I realized that after migration every user's "Inbox" or "Trash" on the new dovecot server has the same mailbox-guid, e.g: User a: inbox dd9456... trash 5549cc... User b: inbox dd9456... trash 5549cc... Is this a wanted behaviour? If i do not migrate with doveadm backup and just manually create mailboxes, the mailbox-guids are globally unique, e.g: User a: inbox dd9456... trash 5549cc... User b: inbox c543fe... trash t49ccc... Thanks! Christian

Dear Peter, Noted. Thanks for your input. Appreciate it. At this point my urgent most priority is to get FTS. Waiting 3 mins for a body search email is bad(but of course my email box is large) I need to have this sorted out by today as I have been putting this off for too long mostly because of lack of troubleshooting documentation online(if i do figure this out will create some for guidance) Regards Kevin On Thu, Jan 29, 2015 at 1:18 PM, Peter Hodur <petehodur(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Thursday, January 29, 2015, Kevin Laurie <superinterstellar(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Dear Peter, >> Oh.

Dovecot & gethostbyname() vulnerability
by Timo Sirainen 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

So just a quick note: Dovecot in general doesn't do DNS lookups, except the ones in configuration files and such. So I don't think there are any Dovecot setups which do DNS lookups for untrusted hostnames. Also, gethostbyname() is used only if IPv6 support isn't compiled into Dovecot. And IPv6 support is enabled by default if the libc is detected to support it, so pretty much all systems use it.

Uniqueness of dovecot mailbox-guids
by Christian Binder Stadt Freilassing 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Dovecot version: 2.2.9 I'm using doveadm backup to migrate about hundred user mailboxes from cyrus to dovecot. I defined a master user for the old cyrus mailserver in imapc backend to get access to all the mailboxes. Now I realized that after migration every user's "Inbox" or "Trash" on the new dovecot server has the same mailbox-guid, e.g: User a: inbox dd9456... trash 5549cc... User b: inbox dd9456... trash 5549cc... Is this a wanted behaviour? If i do not migrate with doveadm backup and just manually create mailboxes, the mailbox-guids are globally unique, e.g: User a: inbox dd9456... trash 5549cc... User b: inbox c543fe... trash t49ccc... Thanks! Christian

dovecot migration
by mkawada＠redhat.com 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Dear List, To migrate a dovecot server from dovecot-1.x to dovecot-2.x, then I wonder if the UIDL format "pop3_uidl_format" setting is required in the configuration file for clients not to re-download the same mails from the migrated mail server. Currently, no UIDL format is set in /etc/dovecot file of the one using dovecot-1.x server which means it is commented out as default like below. ]# grep pop3_uidl_format /etc/dovecot.conf #pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv <---- Does this mean the "pop3_uidl_format" is in use as "%08Xu%08Xv" by default? I see the same in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf of the one using dovecot-2.x, and have not been able to find any information saying it's the defualt setting. Here are the questions: 1.Can we say the "pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv" is the enabled default setting? Or any ways to check the default? 2.Do they need to specify anything for the "pop3_uidl_format =" field for their migration in this case? Env infomation: dovecot-1.x dovecot-2.x mail_location = mbox Any information/clues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

How to quote the special wildcard characters '*' and '?'
by David Davidov 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Hello, I am searching for a way to execute doveadm command against mailbox containing a special wildcard character in its name. For example: # doveadm expunge -u 'me?(a)example.com' mailbox 'INBOX.Junk Mail' SAVEDBEFORE 7 The result is: doveadm(root): Error: User listing returned failure doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users with exit code 75 In the mail log: dovecot: auth: Error: Trying to iterate users, but userdbs don't support it To be clear: the question mark is a part of the mailbox's name. Not an attempt to use it as wildcard. Is there a way 1. To quote the special characters or 2. To disable wildcard matcing in the -u parameter regards, -- David Davidov | System Administrator | ICDSoft Ltd.

"error: number of redirect actions exceeds policy limit"
by Kai Sommer 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Greetings, after testing a lot with my system I have to write to this list to ask for help from the cummunity. My system: * Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS * Dovecot 2.0.19 * Dovecot config (extract) ––––– 8< ––––– plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_max_redirects = 10 } ––––– >8–––––– * Sieve filter rules ––––– 8< ––––– require ["copy"]; # rule:[Alles weiterleiten] if true { redirect "mail_1@mydomain"; redirect "mail_2@mydomain"; redirect "mail_3@mydomain"; redirect "mail_4@mydomain"; redirect "mail_5@mydomain"; redirect "mail_6@mydomain"; keep; stop; } ––––– >8–––––– Problem scenario: With the redirect-filter (see above) Dovecot redirects a incoming email to the first address and stops withe the message "error: number of redirect actions exceeds policy limit" (.dovecot.sieve.log). In my mail.log I see the message "Error: sieve: execution of script $PATH/.dovecot.sieve failed, but implicit keep was successful (user logfile $PATH/.dovecot.sieve.log may reveal additional details)". If I reduce the count of recipients to four – which is the Dovecot default number – everything will redireced as expected. I only could find an old problem report here [0] where as the posted solution doesn't work for me (as you can see above). (Also I tried the rule "redirect :copy" that doesn't changed something …) [0] <http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2012-August/085038.html> → Is this problem known? – Is there a solution for that problem? Thanks a lot and best regards! – Kai -- Kai Sommer sig: 5E2E FA58 43BD 5599 4068 | pubkey: http://ma.ximi.se/mekey

Depending on the sending MTA's retry schedule, you might have only a few days or less to to deal with it before the sending MTA stops trying. If it's important not to lose mail, then the deliver on failure strategy would be more appropriate. You can even copy the input message that caused dpam to crash to an inspection queue for later perusal. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

If dspam fails, the mail is dumped, the LDA returns exit code 75, and the MTA will probably issue a bounce Email to the sender. If you really don't want the recipient to lose Email, you should buffer the input into a file, run dspam on it, and if the output is not-null, pipe it to dovecot-lda, otherwise pipe the original input.

from Cyrus to Dovecot, seen status on cyrus.index files
by Norberto Bensa 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

Hello, Using cyrus2dovecot (https://github.com/a-schild/cyrus2dovecot) I have migrated some test mailboxes from Cyrus (2.4.17) to Dovecot (2.2.9). The problem I'm having is that the seen status is in cyrus.index files, which cyrus2dovecot doesn't understand. Does anyone use cyrus2dovecot for migrations? If so, how do you deal with seen status when it is stored in the .index files? Many thanks in advance, Norberto

LDA input validation
by Stéphane Cottin 24 Jan '15

Hi, I'm using qmail + dspam + dovecot-lda. A typical .qmail file : | /usr/bin/dspam --client --deliver=stdout --user "$EXT@$USER" | /usr/bin/preline -f /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d "$EXT@$USER" -a "$EXT@$USER" -m "$EXT2" When dspam segfault or is killed, preline receive an empty content and only pass to dovecot-lda two headers ( Return-Path and Delivered-To ). Then dovecot-lda delivers successfully and the original message contents are lost. Should dovecot-lda returns an error in such conditions ( invalid contents ) ? Qmail will keep it in the queue and retry delivery later. Stéphane

Mailbox corruption (dovecot 2.2.13, Debian 8)
by Santiago Vila 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

Hello. The attached mbox folder becomes corrupted in the server when being retrieved by fetchmail using the --folder option. This happens on a system running Debian jessie (i.e. dovecot 2.2.13) using the default configuration. I've reported this to Debian here: https://bugs.debian.org/776094 but I thought it would be good to post it here as well in case it is still a bug in the latest version (well, if it's not anymore a bug in the latest version, a patch against 2.2.13 will surely help the Debian maintainer in either case). Thanks.

sieve filter not working
by Michael Williamson 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi, I have a question. I have dovecot 2.0.9 running on a CentOS 6.6 email server for a small department, ~15 users. amavis and postfix are also enabled. It appears that amavis invokes spamassassin, which tags incoming spam email. All email is then put into users local inbox directory, regardless of spam tag X-Spam_Flag value of YES or NO. I want instead to redirect spam to a special directory. I put a sieve filter in users home directory, "/home/user/.dovecot.sieve": require ["fileinto"]; # Move spam to spam folder if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" ["YES"] { fileinto "Maildir/.SPAM"; stop; } I try different target directory for fileinto, ".SPAM", "/home/user/Maildir/.SPAM/cur", etc.. I know that those directories exist. The configure file "/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf" is in original state. I changed one line in configure file "/etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf": protocol lda { # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). mail_plugins = sieve $mail_plugins } I changed one line in configure file "/etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-lmtp.conf": protocol lmtp { # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). mail_plugins = sieve $mail_plugins } The configure file "/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf" is unchanged, the relevant part is: plugin { # The path to the user's main active script. sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve ... I restarted dovecot. I checked that it is running. The configuration command # doveconf -a output is attached. It is not working. How do I diagnose the problem? Thanks, -Mike

Client shows null Sender & date
by John Hendrich 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

I'm using Postfix and Dovecot 2.0.19 and Virtual domains & users (mysql). Incoming mail is handled by Postfix and then handed off to Dovecot LMTP for delivery. However, the Sender and Date are essentially null when viewing the email with either the POP3 or IMAP client. The logs (below) show this. I changed the sender and recipient addresses for privacy. Jan 23 08:41:48 klsrv postfix/smtpd[10836]: 1F907F00276: client=unknown[10.0.0.19] Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv postfix/cleanup[10842]: 1F907F00276: message-id=<> Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv postfix/qmgr[4889]: 1F907F00276: from=<sender(a)example.com>, size=217, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv dovecot: lmtp(10845): Connect from local Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv dovecot: lmtp(10845, recipient(a)example.net) wvU2Gq9PwlRdKgAAjuDoqw: subject=test to client: from=: msgid=unspecified: status=saved mail to INBOX: Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv postfix/lmtp[10844]: 1F907F00276: to=<recipient(a)example.net>, relay=klsrv.airhop.net[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=28, delays=28/0.01/0.01/0.01, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 <recipient(a)example.net> wvU2Gq9PwlRdKgAAjuDoqw Saved) Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv dovecot: lmtp(10845): Disconnect from local: Client quit (in reset) Jan 23 08:42:07 klsrv postfix/qmgr[4889]: 1F907F00276: removed You can see that Postfix accepts the incoming mail (from sender(a)example.com) and then the message is handed to Dovecot LMTP. But the from=: should be "from=sender(a)example.com:". Postfix / qmgr has the sender listed (from=<sender(a)example.com>) but no sender (from=) is seen in LMTP log output. My LMTP is setup to use UNIX sockets, not the INET socket. Any help is appreciated.

Postfix Dovecot LDAP setup
by Leander Schäfer 23 Jan '15

[EDIT]: Sorry about the second mail. ignore the first one - it had try & and error mistakes in. Problem is still the very same as explaned below. Thanks a lot. Hi, since days I'm trying to substitude my SQL based Postfix/Dovecot mail server by a LDAP based setup. Everything seems to go smooth so far - thanks to the many how to and Dovecot wiki. Unfortunately I'm struggeling, since I have to create individual a LDAP schema which suits the currently used LDAP structure. The current tructure looks like this: => dc=MyDomain,dc=TLD ==> ou=People ===> uid=User-1 ====> ou=mail ===> uid=User-2 ====> ou=mail ... and so on ... Within ou=mail should be the individual mail account(s) information of a user. So in the end I want to add a(nother) mail account by something like this: cat << EOF > ./newUser.ldif dn: mailAddress=Test(a)Domain.TLD,ou=mail,uid=User-1,ou=people,dc=MyDomain,dc=TLD objectclass: top objectclass: mailAccount mailAddress: Test(a)Domain.TLD MailPassword: {SSHA}SomePassword MailAccountStatus: active [...] EOF Therefore I setup a LDAP schema like the following, but it seems to ignore the attributes "MailPassword" and "noMailAccountStatus".

Trying to get lda to deliver into public sub-sub-folder
by Claudius 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Hi, I have this setup: recipient_delimiter = + mail_location = sdbox:~/sdbox namespace { type = public prefix = public/ location = sdbox:/home/vmail/shared/sdbox subscriptions = no } Postfix delivers via dovecot-lda: dovecot_shared unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/bin/env HOME=/home/vmail/shared /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -m ${user}/${extension} This works fine, ACL are manually defined and also work great. If I want to deliver into a subfolder I tell postfix to rewrite it to: folder+subfolder@dovecot_shared This is how it looks like: /home/vmail/shared/sdbox/mailboxes/{user}/{extension}/dbox-Mails But with this setup I couldn't get it to deliver into a subfolder of "subfolder/extension". Is it at all possible? Changing the HOME directory does not work because of the sdbox folder structure. I tried to generate a service for each subfolder like that: -m ${user}/subfolder/${extension} But when I did not have an extension I got: save failed to open mailbox {user}/subfolder/: Invalid mailbox name even though it exists. I think it doesn't like the trailing slash, but I don't know how to get rid of it. Hope I explained it well enough :) Regards, Claudius

Shared folders - Namespace definition
by Peter Hodur 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Hello, I'm trying to configure shared mailboxes with ACL. My problem is FS layout. Our maildirs is completely outside of home dirs (home dirs is on pure SSD zpool, maildirs on separate HDD zpool). We are using checkpassword auth, which sets mailbox_location for each user. Layout is following: maildirs: /dpool/mail/maldirs/user-uuid/ home is: /dpool/mail/home/user-uuid/ index & control is under home: /dpool/mail/home/user-uuid/[index|control] the problem is how to specify path in NAMESPACE definition. I can use %% variables, but maildirs is not under home and also does not have "fixed" structure (so I can not use %%u for example). Is it possible to for example set some special env variable from checkpassword and than use it in namespace definition like home variable? Or can someone help to find the code in dovecot, which evaluates namespace location patter so I can patch it? thanks Pete

UID changes every few seconds
by Adam Przybylski 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hi, I'm trying to use Gmail-style conversation view, as described in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual#Examples >From a client based on Roundcube Framework I'm fetching message list from "virtual/INBOX" folder and that works fine to some degree, but the problem is that every few seconds or so (probably when new message is delivered or bounced on the mail server) UID of those messages changes. When I'm trying to display the details of given message (fetch body by UID), I'm getting an error because message with given UID do not exist on the server. When I only refresh the list (fetch messages one more time) and compare UIDs of the same messages between fetches, there are completely different numbers - growing every fetch. When I switch from virtual folder to real INBOX everything works fine, UID stays unchanged over time. Is this the intended behavior for virtual folders or some kind of bug? Or am I doing something wrong? I'm using Dovecot 2.1.7 on Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy). The output of dovecot -n is attached. Thanks in advance, Adam

Outlook and TLSv.1
by Oliver Welter 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hi Folks, after adding TLSv1.2 to by TLS options a lot of Outlook users complaint about connection errors, openssl s_client and Thunderbird works fine. I found some posts about this but none of them had a real solution on this - I meanwhile disabled TLSv1.2 which made the Outlook users happy. I run dovecot 2.2.13, OpenSSL 1.0.1j 15 Oct 2014 ssl_cert = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!EXPORT:!LOW:!MEDIUM:!aNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048 ssl_key = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !TLSv1.2 The certificate is from Comodo using sha256. Any idea? Oliver -- Protect your environment - close windows and adopt a penguin!

Still receiving Quota warning: mailbox 95% full altough now 20% full
by ML mail 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Hello I am using the quota warnings e-mail feature of dovecot to warn users at 80% and 95%. The issue here is that I have one use who his mailbox is now back down to 20% but he still receives the 95% mailbox full warning mail. Any ideas what could be wrong or what to do? My dovecot config of the mailbox server can be found here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/80823 Regards ML

pigeonhole - how to whitelist
by Cliff Hayes 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Hello, When new users are added we start them with a spam rule that routes spam to their junk folder. I don't see a way to assign priority ... so how does a user whitelist a spam-flagged email? Are the rules applied in some order? Alphabetically perhaps? If so I can name the spam rule z-spam. Thanks in advance.

move imap mail to new server
by James 19 Jan '15

I tarred up my Maildir from one server and untarred it on another, I had hoped it would work, It partially does. It has all my messages but doesn't show the subdirectories in Thunderbird.

Shared mailboxes not shown or accessible
by Tim ODriscoll 18 Jan '15

Dear All, I'm trying (and failing) to implement a shared mailbox folder. My goal is to share the inbox of a user 'invoices' to a test user 'rubbish'. My ACLs appear to be correct: # doveadm acl get -u invoices inbox ID Global Rights user=rubbish create delete expunge insert lookup post read write write-deleted write-seen The shared-dict is being generated: # cat /var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes shared/shared-boxes/user/rubbish/invoices 1 Yet when I try to list the mailboxes, the shared namespace has no children: . login rubbish password .

Initial development work on fts-elasticsearch
by Joshua Atkins 18 Jan '15

18 Jan '15

Hi all, I have started work on an ElasticSearch FTS plugin for Dovecot. It's available now on GitHub at: https://github.com/ascendantcom/fts-elasticsearch Please note that it is still in heavy development right now. It supports indexing, searching and expunging with some caveats (no multi-mailbox search or attachments). Pull requests, suggestions and bug reports very welcome! Cheers, Josh

dsync SSL fails since 2.2.15
by Martin Carlé 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Hello list, dovecot ran rock-solid on OSX Mavericks for about 1 year replicating my mail between 2 servers via dsync with SSL as that is well described here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication After upgrading to 2.2.15, dsync gets stuck with the Error: "Received invalid SSL certificate" even though neither any of the dovecot configs nor the certs, keys or the CA have changed! When I simply outcomment SSL and switch dsync to use tcp (instead of tcps) everthing replications still works like a charm. Please help me to get SSL back working! I did a lot of testing and come up with a concrete QUESTION below, hopefully leading the way out of this trap. What happend ============= 2 days before I upgraded one of the machines to OSX Yosemite. Along with this, I also upgraded to dovecot 2.2.15 via homebrew (unfortunately on both machines at once). During this process, also openssl was updated to "OpenSSL 1.0.1k 8 Jan 2015". If checking the unchanged certs against the CA, however, the results are still "OK". 1st check: OK ========== sudo /usr/bin/openssl verify -CAfile /etc/ssl/ca/dovecotCA.pem /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot_on27_signed_cert.pem Password: /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot_on27_signed_cert.pem: OK 2nd check: OK (providing the CAfile and connecting to the doveadm_port) =========== openssl s_client -CAfile /etc/ssl/ca/dovecotCA.pem -connect on27.linkpc.net:8082 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=1 CN = dovecotCA2, O = dovecot, OU = dovecot, ST = dovecot, C = AF, L = dovecot, emailAddress = mc(a)aiguphonie.com verify return:1 depth=0 CN = on27.linkpc.net, O = dovecot, OU = dovecot, ST = dovecot, C = AF, L = dovecot, emailAddress = mc(a)aiguphonie.com verify return:1 --- Certificate chain 0 s:/CN=on27.linkpc.net/O=dovecot/OU=dovecot/ST=dovecot/C=AF/L=dovecot/emailA… i:/CN=dovecotCA2/O=dovecot/OU=dovecot/ST=dovecot/C=AF/L=dovecot/emailAddress=mc@aiguphonie.com --- Server certificate -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- dmVjb3RDQTIxEDAOBgNVBAoMB2RvdmVjb3QxEDAOBgNVBAsMB2RvdmVjb3QxEDAO [...] +g== -----END CERTIFICATE----- subject=/CN=on27.linkpc.net/O=dovecot/OU=dovecot/ST=dovecot/C=AF/L=dovecot/… issuer=/CN=dovecotCA2/O=dovecot/OU=dovecot/ST=dovecot/C=AF/L=dovecot/emailAddress=mc(a)aiguphonie.com --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 1709 bytes and written 487 bytes --- New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 Server public key is 2048 bit Secure Renegotiation IS supported Compression: zlib compression Expansion: zlib compression SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1.2 Cipher : ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 Session-ID: C4DDBA1FA50039FA5D94EF2359BA037B3903D66B6B637CA0733A9216BFCC3996 Session-ID-ctx: Master-Key: 0495D21CA11AA54856D78B48C3DBE9B70EFFB65F13224B430D2B4B2F80F12BE5A89F31454F9577F22F5DDC26FDBAAFAC Key-Arg : None PSK identity: None PSK identity hint: None SRP username: None TLS session ticket lifetime hint: 300 (seconds) TLS session ticket: [...] 0090 - 2d 97 37 15 bd a9 be 68-c1 79 fa dd d8 75 76 3f -.7....h.y...uv?

dsync-remote: Error: Failed to set attribute
by Alexander Moisseev 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

1. I am looking for backup solution for mdbox with SIS and experimenting with dsync. I am planning to do it like that: doveadm backup [deSISing] => transmitting to remote host => dsync-server [SISing] Is there more convenient method? 2. I have dovecot 2.2.15 on both hosts. The local host is a mail server. Dovecot on the remote host neither running nor configured (I have created an empty dovecot.conf in the config dir). When I tried to back up mailbox from local to remote host with command doveadm backup -P -u user(a)domain.tld \ ssh -c blowfish -i /tmp/vmail/.ssh/id_dsa vmail@remotehost \ doveadm \ -o mail_location=mdbox:/tmp/vmail/domain.tld/user/mdbox \ -o mail_attachment_dir=/tmp/vmail/attachments \ dsync-server I got error messages: dsync-remote(vmail): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to set attribute vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/sieve/files/roundcube: Internal attributes cannot be changed directly dsync-remote(vmail): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to set attribute vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/sieve/files/main: Internal attributes cannot be changed directly dsync-remote(vmail): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to set attribute vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/sieve/files/test: Internal attributes cannot be changed directly dsync-remote(vmail): Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to set attribute vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt/server/sieve/default: Internal attributes cannot be changed directly What do that errors mean?

File locking issues
by Oliver Welter 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Hi All, I upgrade my mail server from doveot 1.1.7 to 2.2.13 and encounter problems with file locking issues. The server has around 400 clients using IMAP and I get tons of "Warning: fscking index file .. dovecot.index" and "Error: Corrupted transaction log". Sometimes the transaction log problem is followed by "Panic: file mail-transaction-log.c: line 350 (mail_transaction_log_set_mailbox_sync_pos): assertion failed: (file_offset >= log->head->saved_tail_offset)" I tried all offered locking methods (fcntl, flock, dotlock) without success. The server runs inside a virtual guest (linux-vserver which is similar to LXC) using an overlay filesystem. I suspect the overlayfs but have no idea how to test this, besides - as I understand - dotlock should not rely on the fs locking at all :( I even wonder why the old dovecot worked for nearly 10 years without any problems, even under higher loads. The config is pretty straightforward: # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.4.57-vs2.3.3.9-g67e6589-dirty x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.2 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 0 auth_cache_size = 50 M auth_mechanisms = plain cram-md5 debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log default_client_limit = 900 default_process_limit = 250 disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 89 first_valid_uid = 89 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log last_valid_gid = 89 last_valid_uid = 89 listen = * lock_method = dotlock login_greeting = Serverpilot.net Mail Service mail_gid = 89 mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir mail_uid = 89 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 } protocols = imap pop3 service imap-login { process_min_avail = 5 service_count = 0 } ssl_cert = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!EXPORT:!LOW:!MEDIUM:!aNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH ssl_dh_parameters_length = 2048 ssl_key = </var/qmail/control/servercert.pem ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !TLSv1.2 userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 25 } Any ideas are welcome.

attn rick van rein (midget)
by Laeeth Isharc 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

From 11 Oct 2013 (Rick van Rein) "Hello, I love Dovecot, but when developing a small IMAP tool, I ran into searching behaviour can easily be optimised. Please forgive a rather detailed suggestion. This was on Dovecot 1.2.15 on Debian Squeeze. My tool? It's called "midget" and retrieves documents from an IMAP box based on their mid: or cid: identifier, as per RFC 2392. I thought this would be useful to retrieve email attachments into a remote shell environment. When using Kerberos, the credentials and a strong hint of one's mail address are already present anyway, DNS SRV does the rest. If you want to see the early code, I'll be happy to share it here." Hi Rick. Thanks for the suggested optimisation - I am not sure if it is you who I have to think for contributing towards making IMAP search fast again. In any case, if you see this I would be interested to see the source for midget if you are willing to share. If you don't want to post to the list then my email is laeeth at laeeth.com Thanks.

dovecot.org slow & imap search now blazing fast
by Laeeth Isharc 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hi. In case you were not aware, I wanted to let you know that dovecot.org has been very slow (often almost unusable) for at least several days now. Also, I upgraded my dovecot from 2.2.10 to 2.2.15. Thank you for fixing IMAP search. I have c. 2mm messages, and it had become unusable before but it is now very fast. (I saw a reference to an optimisation on the mailing list from back in Oct 2013, so maybe that was it). Regards, Laeeth

pigeonhole ereject vs reject
by Robert Blayzor 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Currently pigeonhole supports reject which would generate a NDR for each message. (If I understand the current documentation) Using Dovecot LMTP it would be more optimal to kick a 5xx back to the primary MTA to reject the delivery rather than generating more back scatter NDRs. Anyone know if this is possible now (to forgo the NDR)'s or do we need to wait for ereject ? If so, how much work is involved? -- Robert inoc.net!rblayzor http://inoc.net/

blowfish crypt
by Edgar Pettijohn 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

I'm setting up a new server and am planning on using blowfish crypt. This page from the wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes says the password will begin with $2a$, however mine are starting $2b$. Is this wrong on the wiki or am I doing something wrong? Just want to catch this before it becomes a problem. Thanks, Edgar

dovecot and glusterfs
by Michael Schwartzkopff 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hi, I did some experiments with dovecot on a glusterfs on the active nodes without a director. So I had concurrent access to the files. With the help of the available documentation about NFS and fcntl locks I managed to find out the following: With the plain mbox format dovecot seems to apply and to honor the fcntl locks. But since this format is not used any more in real setups, it is useless. With mdbox and maildir format I could reliably crash my mail storage just by delivering mails to the both dovecots via LMTP to the same user. In maildir dovecot seems not the set / respect the fnctl locks of the index file. dotlocks do not seems to work either with mdbox. So I think the only solution os to use a director in a real world setup. Or is there any non-obvious trick that I did not check? I think it would be really nice if dovecot could use glusterfs for realy scalable postbox servers.

Proxying when src and dest on non standard ports
by Thomas HUMMEL 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hello, I want to test dovecot proxying, on a user basis, in a simple set up (proxy, no proxy_maybe and forward the passwd to the remote server). This seem pretty simple except that, in order to test it alongside the production server, I set up 3 servers : . the proxy, listening to pop and imap on non standard ports 9143, 9993, 9110, 9995 . a proxy destination for some users, listening on 10143, 10993, 109110, 10995 . another proxy destination for some other users, listening on 20145, 20993, 209110, 20995 But there seems to be only one 'port' extra_field, so how can I handle the proxying of both IMAP and POP3 (especially for the same user who can use both) ? Thanks. -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Groupe Exploitation et Infrastructure

Moving or "upgrading" from MD5 to SSHA512
by Jyri Hovila [Turvamies.fi] 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hello, world! I have a long-running Dovecot & Postfix installation using PostgreSQL back-end. Until now I've been using MD5 hashing but would like to "upgrade" to the salted SSHA512. Is there a way to configure Dovecot so that it would automatically detect the type of the hash stored in the database, so that users who have changed their password (and thus being hashed with SHA512) and users still having an MD5 hash would both be able to authenticate at the same time? Yours, Jyri -- +358-50-5632104 (24/7) +358-46-8822157 (backup) jyri.hovila(a)turvamies.fi

[PATCH] Make Delivered-To optional
by Nagy, Attila 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hi, I've read at least one e-mail on this list about making delivered-to in lmtpd optional, but now I need this too, so I made a patch. The default remains as is now (enabled). Rationale: I would like to dsync users and I have catchall POP mailboxes (meaning: a single mailbox gets the mails for a lot of e-mail addresses). If I deliver the e-mails to Dovecot's lmtpd as the original RCPT TO, the Delivered-To header can be used for the POP client to sort the messages on their side to the correct mailbox, but because Dovecot sees this as a new user, it adds it to the replicator.db. Now imagine a single mailbox with thousands of e-mail addresses, this will make thousands of entries in replicator.db, all of which Dovecot would like to replicate independently... If I deliver to the mailbox uid, Dovecot dsync will work right (only one user will be added, no matter how many different e-mail addresses end up in this mailbox), but the Delivered-To will contain the uid, so the user can't use that to sort the messages into their final destination on their side. So the solution here is that I disable the addition of Delivered-To header in Dovecot (because it doesn't know what is the original address) and add it in an upper layer, so during the lmtp transaction, the message will already contain the right value. Currently Dovecot adds another Delivered-To line, which confuses the clients. Please add this feature to Dovecot. Thanks,

Re: Maildir permissions on creation?
by Von Random 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Yes, and it is not my use case, sadly. ACLs are meant for imap, not filesystem access and mail_access_groups is also useless for some reason. It just does not change anything. Probably because I don't use mail_location and variables when I provide path for home. (It's stored as is in a database on mailbox creation.) 26.12.2014, 12:07, "Tobi" <tobster(a)brain-force.ch>: > Have you checked the dovecot wiki for 'filepermissions in shared mailboxes' ? > Explains how dovecot set ACL when creating mailboxes > > Am 26.

pigeonhole: upgrade 0.4.3 -> 0.4.6 broke script storage
by Petar Bogdanovic 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

Hi, I ran into some troubles while upgrading pigeonhole: crane dovecot: lda(petar): Error: sieve: Failed to access user storage (temporary failure) crane dovecot: lda(petar): Error: sieve: file storage: Could not find storage root directory; path was left unconfigured and autodetection failed After reading through the changelog, I noticed that there have been some changes in the script storage location syntax but that old prefix-less paths should still work fine. My lda-configuration is very simple: # lda protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = <snip> } plugin { sieve = /data/dovecot/user/%u.sieve sieve_extensions = +editheader sieve_max_redirects = 50 } And even if I change $sieve to: sieve = file:/data/dovecot/user/%u.sieve the error messages disappear but based on the sudden unfiltered wave of mails in my INBOX that I usually store somewhere else, I guess the path still doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks, Petar Bogdanovic

Dovecot replication over TCP/SSL, certificate error
by Jonas Plitt 12 Jan '15

Hi All, I'm running TCP-based dsync replication on two dovecot nodes. Nowdays i tried to enable SSL (TCPS). I changed mail_replica prefix from tcp:* to tcps:* and added ssl=yes to the inet_listener. Then on running *doveadm sync* i'm getting the following message: " *doveadm(example(a)example.com <example(a)example.com>): Error: Couldn't initialize SSL context: Can't load CA certs from directory /etc/ssl/certs: error:02001024:system library:fopen:File name too longdoveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users*" this is my config (part): *ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/alpha-servers.pemssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/alpha-servers.keyssl_ca = </etc/ssl/certs/startcom-ca-bundle.pemssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certsssl_client_ca_file = </etc/ssl/certs/startcom-ca.pemssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3* The file startcom-ba-bundle contains the complete chain. The file startcom-ca contains only the ca certificate. Can anybody help, please? -- with kind regards, Jonas

Dovecot on Fedora 20 or 21
by David Mehler 10 Jan '15

10 Jan '15

Hello, Is anyone running Dovecot on either a Fedora 20 or 21 system? I'm having an issue, on a system reboot, which I admit does not happen often, Dovecot fails to start in the systemctl list, output is status failed. The issue seems to be Dovecot can not bind to the ipv6 address. Now later if I manually log in to the box and start dovecot it works just fine no problems. I've googled and seen similar issues to this. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks. Dave.

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 ?

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)) ?

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

I used FreeBSD 10.1 Dovecot 2.2.15 I want pop3s, so I made /usr/local/etc/dovecot/local.conf ssl = yes ssl_cert = </usr/local/etc/dovecot/server.pem ssl_key = </usr/local/etc/dovecot/server.key ssl_ca = </usr/local/etc/dovecot/ca.pem ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!SSLV3:!EXP:!aNULL:!RC4 It's work fine. But, change ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!EXP:!aNULL:!RC4 ( SSLV3 -> SSLv3 ) I did trouble. /var/log/maillog Jan 6 05:41:53 example dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, TLS handshaking, session=<5e9 zuO0LVwB+PO8D> Is this bug ? or I did miss setting ? Thank you for reading. Yoshi

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.

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
by Robin Helgelin 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

Hi, We’re using dovecot 1.0.7, which seems to be the latest version available on CentOS 5. Downloading emails are dead slow. Really small emails goes quickly, but normal emails and emails with attachments are so slow to download it’s almost ridiculous. I’ve googled some and found that it could be related to quota, but I disabled the quota plugins on imap with no difference. dovecot -n: # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf ssl_cert_file: /etc/dovecot/cert.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/dovecot/key.pem disable_plaintext_auth: yes verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login valid_chroot_dirs: /var/mail/domains verbose_proctitle: yes last_valid_uid: 500 mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/domains/%d/%n/mail mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): mail_plugins(imap): mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 384 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: mail plugin: convert_mail: maildir:/var/mail/domains/%d/%u/mail dovecot-ldap.conf: auth_bind = yes hosts = example.com ldap_version = 3 base = o=hosting,dc=example,dc=com dn = cn=phamm,o=hosting,dc=example,dc=com dnpass = password pass_attrs = mail pass_filter = (&(objectClass=VirtualMailAccount)(accountActive=TRUE)(mail=%u)) user_attrs = mail,,,mail,,,quota=quota=maildir:storage user_filter = (&(objectClass=VirtualMailAccount)(accountActive=TRUE)(mail=%u)) deref = never scope = subtree default_pass_scheme = MD5 user_global_uid = 500 user_global_gid = 12

Curious dovecot behavior with service_count = 0
by anon_user＠openmailbox.org 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

Hello, I'm not experiencing this problem at all with service_count = 1 With service_count = 0, this is what I got randomly in my logs: TLS: SSL_read() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer To be successfully logged, the user have to initiate a new connection. I primary thought about vsz_limit but I've put this value to 10GB (yes this is very overkill, that was just for the test) and that don't change anything. I use the lastest version of dovecot. Any ideas ? Thanks.

Re: Maildir permissions on creation?
by Von Random 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

The main reason is that I don't want to provide backup user with unnecessary write permissions within maildirs and mail user within backup logs dir. I was talking about mail_user:mail_group 0750 on dirs and 0640 on files. (Or, possibly, mail_user:backup_group 2750 and 2640.) 26.12.2014, 11:19, "Tobi" <tobster(a)brain-force.ch>: > Whats the reason you do not want to use default dovecot user.

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.
