dsync mirror does not maintain changes between mailboxes
by Alan McGinlay 28 Sep '14

28 Sep '14

Hi, running: dsync -D -v -o mail_fsync=never mirror -R -f -u user@domain imapc: Where "domain" is a cyrus imap server does not do what the documentation says it does, not even close. After the first run to an empty mailbox on the dovecot 2.2.13 server all the mails (1.1GB) seem to be correctly synced. I send a test email to the dovecot server and it shows up correctly. Second run of the above dsync command, first thing that happens is all mails are deleted from the dovecot mailbox (yet the storage used by output of "du -m" doesn't change) and the sync appears to happen again from scratch however the disk space increases again! Now up to about 2GB and another run will take it up a few hundred mb more! I have tried with multiple different mail storage formats, maildir++, mdbox sdbox, all show the same (except maildir which just complains that INBOX can't be deleted on the second dsync run). This is frustrating beyond belief, please please anyone who has any insight let me know, the dsync debug output is a little huge to sanitize and post to the list but i can send it individually if anyone has any ideas! I am ready to give up totally on dovecot but at the same time I just wish it would work! doveconf -n # 2.2.13 (6bb26098a45c): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-67-virtual x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS auth_debug = yes auth_master_user_separator = * default_vsz_limit = 512 M disable_plaintext_auth = yes imapc_features = rfc822.size imapc_host = oldmailhost.domain.com imapc_master_user = cyradmin imapc_password = xxxxxxxx imapc_user = %u mail_gid = vmail mail_home = /var/vmail/domains/%d/%1n/%n mail_location = sdbox:~/sdbox mail_plugins = zlib notify quota fts fts_solr mail_prefetch_count = 30 mail_uid = vmail mailbox_list_index = yes managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto imapflags namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { fts = solr fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8080/solr/ quota = dirsize:User quota quota_grace = 10%% quota_rule = *:storage=20G sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /var/vmail/sieve/domain/%1d/%d/%1n/%n/ sieve_extensions = imapflags fileinto zlib_save = bz2 zlib_save_level = 5 } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth-worker { user = $default_internal_user } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0666 user = vmail } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } vsz_limit = 512 M } service imap { process_limit = 1024 vsz_limit = 512 M } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } verbose_ssl = yes protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = zlib notify quota fts fts_solr quota sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = zlib notify quota fts fts_solr imap_quota } protocol sieve { managesieve_implementation_string = Cyrus timsievd v2.2.13 }

Dovecot Sieve and Postfix header_checks Issue
by Klaipedaville on Google 27 Sep '14

27 Sep '14

Hello List, I tried to subscribe but it's taking forever for the confirmation email to arrive so I thought I would ask away by emailing directly. My apologies in advance should this question appear twice. It may seem real simple to experts but I cannot really figure it out. I'll try to be concise: Dovecot version is 2.1.7. Its dovecot –n is real short one and follows right after my question. I have my Postfix 2.9.6 properties set like this: header_checks = /etc/path/to/myfile. Then I have Dovecot Sieve also configured and working fine. Now the trouble is that these two cannot be combined together can they? Dovecot Sieve and Postfix's header_checks? If I turn off header_checks in Postfix then Dovecot Sieve is working fine. If I vise versa turn off Dovecot Sieve then Postfix's header-checks are also working fine. However, when I keep them both turned on it also works but only partially and in this case Dovecot Sieve never bounces back any rejected massages remotely, the bounce happens only locally. That is I can see it in my logs that it was rejected locally but the message is never sent back to the sender saying something like, "Spam is rejected here". Thus the reject turns into a silent discard without telling the sender anything at all. Any ideas, help, advices how do I fix that? Would be really grateful for any suggestions / assistance at all. Many thanks in advance! P.S. I would like to use both because Dovecot Sieve is a very powerful and great plugin that uses Spamassassin's added tags and headers based on which I create my rules. Postfix in its turn has a very neat feature of checking the headers via regexp but Postfix does not see / detect Spamassassin's added headers at all because I passed delivery and authentication (which is a way better than Postfix's) to dovecot deliver. # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.6 ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 scram-sha-1 auth_verbose = yes hostname = WindTalker info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-sieve.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot-sieve-errors.log mail_location = maildir:/home/mvail/%d/%n 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 passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_default = /etc/dovecot/default.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } pop3_uidl_format = %g postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com protocols = imap pop3 sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/ca.crt ssl_cert = </etc/ssl//new.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/new.key userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u driver = static } protocol lda { mail_debug = yes mail_plugins = sieve } Regards, Dennis.

ALT storage question

27 Sep '14

I want to migrate from a non-hashed storage to a hashed storage. So I set this up: mail_location = mdbox:/srv/vmail/%2.256Hu/%Lu/mdbox:ALT=/srv/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/mdbox I rsynced the "old" mdbox-style mailbox from another machine to to /srv/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/mdbox (/srv/vmail/charite.de/ralf.hildebrandt/mdbox in my case) The mail_location /srv/vmail/c5/ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de was non-existing.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected, Timo. The latter, if it is at all feasible, appears to be an "inside job" type of exploit, where the exploiter already has an account but can arbitrarily change their password. It's not as serious as the pre-login one, but worth addressing if the narrow circumstances of using post-login bash scripts apply. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

doveadm penalty: who is 0.0.0.0?

Using doveadm penalty I just noticed a penalty for 0.0.0.0. Is this Postfix querying the auth-socket for his SASL-requests? I tried adding 0.0.0.0 to login_trusted_networks, but that doesn't help.

Re: director
by Chris Lasater 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

The configuration and run/base_dir directories can be where ever you like. The locations Eduardo stated are the most appropriate for dovecot installed with an RPM. Mine were compiled and set in the home directory, so they are in a slightly different location. As long as you use the -c to point to the correct configuration file you should be good. For mine I kept my dovecot config file in the default location and put the director one elsewhere and created an alias, so that I can start the director by just typing director. This might make things easier for you to manage, then you can just stop it by running "doveadm -i <instance_name> stop" alias director="sudo -E PATH=${PATH} LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} /home/user/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -c /home/user/dovecot/etc/dovecot/director.conf" On 09/23/2014 05:00 PM, jjhoffart wrote: >> Thanks for the replies, >> I am still fairly new to dovecot and still learning. This is a quick run down of my setup: 3 servers running iRedMail (this is a package that installs dovecot 2.1.7, postfix, and LDAP). All three servers share an NFS backend. The same 3 servers are also sitting behind a load balancer. What I want to do is use these three servers as directors and mail servers. So from the replies I have gotten I understand that I need to create 2 config files 1 for director and 1 for dovecot.

Is dovecot vulnerable to the shellshock/CVE-2014-6271 exploit?
by Joseph Tam 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

I'm right now handling this beach-ball sized grenade, and trying to figure out which of our services need to be locked down right away. Since dovecot passes values via environment variables based on user input (e.g. username, password, mailbox?) to auxilliary executables (including possibly bash shell scripts), is dovecot vulnerable to this exploit? (This is not a fault of dovecot, but rather bash's inadequate handling of environment variables.) For example, injection of this sort 1 LOGIN (){x;}exploit-code whatever I guess auth_username_chars would mitigate this particular attempt (assuming it can work), but other values such as mailbox names could also be injected post authentication. Can someone with working knowlegde of dovecot's internals confirm/deny whether this is a something that needs to be addressed? Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

I'm getting this in the log when proxying IMAP (three "valid certificate" messages, two "Invalid certificate" messages) Why is dovecot (acting as a proxy to another dovecot instance here) not recognizing the StartCom Extended Validation Server CA? .

Confusing wording on the wiki
by Alan McGinlay 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

Hi, I am confused by the wording of this Wiki entry: sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve The path to the user's main active Sieve script. When ManageSieve is used, this is a symbolic link pointing to the active script in the sieve_dir directory. Avoid placing the active Sieve script inside the sieve_dir directory. So this should be a link *to* the active script in the sieve_dir directory however the active script shouldn't actually be in that directory???? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration Confused :S /A

LMTP proxying

How exactly is LMTP proxying supposed to work? According to the example on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy I'm only seeing "proxy" in the password_query statements.

Empty mailboxes
by Daniel Miller 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

This is driving me nuts. I need to rebuild a server - got a notification the main drive is failing, and it's been a year or two, so it's time. Got a new drive, fresh install of Ubuntu Tantric, started installing everything needed. Data stored on a RAID array - nicely available separate from the boot/operation drive. Did a fresh compile of Dovecot, copied over the configs from the old drive, mounted the RAID...and... Dovecot starts, authenticates users - and shows empty mailboxes. Nothing shown. Full panic - reboot on old drive. All mails present. Change back - no mail. Executing "doveadm user -u username" seems to give valid results. Mailbox location appears correct (using mdbox). I setup uid/gid the same - I thought it was a rights issue but everything looks correct. What can I do to try to find the stupid mistake I'm making? -- Daniel

quota recalc problem for big maildirs
by Dawid Stawiarski - nazwa.pl 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

hi, we use dovecot 2.2.13, and we've lately started using maildir quota (previously fs quota was used, right now it's "quota = maildir:User quota" changed from "quota = fs:User quota:user:inode_per_mail"). When the change was applied we didn't manually forced generating maildirsize files. So, when the first deliver happens (or the file grows larger then 5KB) it starts quota recalc. However for users with big maildirs, receiving email every couple of seconds, there are tens of delivery processes each doing its own recalc (as they open file for APPEND and there's no locking). What's even worse, after all the stats and getdents (it takes a lot of IO for 60GB account with 2M emails), deliver makes stat on 'new' dir and detects changes after which it unlinks freshly created maildirsize. So possibly this will never be finished as every process drops its own work. The same thing happened when we checked the native dovecot LMTP server (every connection has its own forked process - each running independently of the others). Is it a known unwanted "feature" of maildir quota (and we should use dict quota instead) or a bug that will be fixed? cheers, Dawid Stawiarski

Re: director
by Eduardo Ramos 23 Sep '14

The configuration use to be in /etc/dovecot, and the working dir is /var/run/dovecot. You should store your configuration file in the /etc/dovecot. The dovecot.conf file can be copied to dovecot-backend.conf and dovecot-director, for example, and you will use '-c' argument of dovecot binary to load on or another. If you do this, you will need create two separated working dir, that will be defined in base_dir on each configuration file.

This is a quick run down of my setup: 3 servers running iRedMail (this is a package that installs dovecot 2.1.7, postfix, and LDAP). All three servers share an NFS backend. The same 3 servers are also sitting behind a load balancer. What I want to do is use these three servers as directors and mail servers. So from the replies I have gotten I understand that I need to create 2 config files 1 for director and 1 for dovecot. Now my next question is do these config files need to be stored in /etc/dovecot or /var/run/dovecot?

sieve redirect to foreign email gets “Relay access denied”
by Henry Stack 23 Sep '14

I have a postfix mail server with sql authentication and I want to implement sieve on it. Sieve is working relative good, rules who contain 'fileinto' are executed perfectly. The problem is the redirect to other servers. I configured a rule in Sieve to redirect any email containing "redirect" in subject to a specified foreign destination. # So practically a email coming from sender(a)live.de for the local user testuser(a)server.net should be redirected to destination(a)gmail.com when the subject contains "redirect" if header :contains ["subject"] ["redirect"] {redirect "destination(a)gmail.com"; stop;} when I test it I get the following log entry /postfix/smtpd[32114]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail.server.net[xx.xx.xx.xx]: 554 5.7.1 <destination(a)gmail.com>: Relay access denied; from=<sender(a)live.de> to=<destination(a)gmail.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail.server.net>/ How can I tell postfix to let dovecot/sieve relay the email?

Announce: Plugin for iOS Push Email support
by Stefan Arentz 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

I’ve been hacking on a personal side project to support native iOS Push Email in Dovecot. This is specifically for people who are migrating their mail away from OS X Server while keeping their existing Push Email functionality. Native Push Email has some great advantages: it speeds up email notifications (usually within seconds of being handled by dovecot-lda) and it improves battery life since the native notifications flow over a single highly optimized connection to Apple’s infrastructure. Although this is at version 0.1, it is working pretty well for me and I am looking for some additional testers that are interested. Please note that it is not possible to use this project without legally running a copy of OS X Server. You can purchase OS X Server on the Mac App Store or download it for free if you are a registered Mac or iOS developer. This feature is enabled by two projects: https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-plugin <https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-plugin> https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-daemon <https://github.com/st3fan/dovecot-xaps-daemon> Both projects contain a README that describes how to get things going. I have only developed and tested on Ubuntu 12.04.5 so ideally you run the same version if you are interested in playing with this project. You will need to compile some code and not be afraid of a little admin work. I am also interested in a code review. The Dovecot plugin API is barely documented and I had to guess a lot of things by looking at other plugins. An extra pair of eyes specifically on that code would be awesome. Also from a security perspective. Please file bugs! S.

Hi, Thomas, I happily use Felipe Contreras' excellent git-hg bridge, as I am far happier in a GIT environment than an Hg one: https://github.com/felipec/git/wiki/git-remote-hg The workflow couldn't be much easier, in particular if you set up a few aliases for the common sequences of tasks. $ hg clone http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2 $ git clone "hg::/home/phil/dovecot-2.2" dovecot-2.2-git $ cd dovecot-2.2-git $ git checkout -b hacking $ # work... $ cd ../dovecot-2.2 $ hg pull -u $ cd ../dovecot-2.2-git $ git checkout master $ git rebase master hacking $ # more work... (OK, my workflow includes pushing too ;-) ) Hope that helps. Cheers, Phil

dsync annoyances
by Alan McGinlay 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

Hi! Every time I run dsync for a user against an old Cyrus server, the users mailbox in Dovecot increases by several hundred MB, these are not new emails. So the first dsync run gets the whole mailbox and subsequent runs get a bunch of duplicates or what? doveadm purge clears them all out but why is dsync behaving like this? I didn't happen in previous versions (2.2.13)

[wishlist] testsuite for sieve scripts, libsievetest
by Thomas Koch 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

Hi, I'm writing a test suite with Haskell for my sieve script. - Just to learn Haskell. But it might become something usable. The test suite calls sieve-test and parses the output. So it would of course be much simpler for me if the output of sieve-test would be easier to parse and if I'd know what output to expect. And it would be nice, if there would be an easy way to embed libsievetest as a C library. I looked into the source and the sieve-test binary does quite a bit of setup. This might be a nice hacking project for a beginner... BTW: It would be nice, if I could just 'git clone' dovecot. Thank you for dovecot!

doveadm with multiple instances on same machine(s)
by Will Yardley 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Couple questions about running doveadm with multiple instances... I have Dovecot 2.2.13 on RHEL6 running across 3 boxes, each with a director and main instance running. When I try to lookup something on the main instance (which is handling user auth) via its auth-userdb socket directly, I get an error: # doveadm auth lookup -a /var/run/dovecot-main/auth-userdb myuser doveadm(root): Error: passdb lookup failed for myuser: Configured passdbs don't support crentials lookups When I use the default lookup map, I just get the proxy settings that are configured in the director instance's authdb. # doveadm auth lookup myuser passdb: myuser user : myuser proxy : y nopassword: y In addition, "doveadm director map" can't map the username -I get the error: doveadm(root): Error: User listing returned failure doveadm(root): Error: user listing failed [then I get the whole list, but with <unknown> for each user] The director itself doesn't have the LDAP passdb that the main dovecot instance talks to, but I have, in the director config: service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 8889 } } director_doveadm_port = 8889 local 192.168.x.x/24 { doveadm_password = XXXXXX } doveadm_proxy_port = 8888 And in the main config: service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 8888 } } local 192.168.x.x/24 { doveadm_password = XXXXXXX ## same password as above }

Hello, I've setup a mail server (still in test) with Postfix and Dovecot, authentication made using Active Directory. I authenticate my test user in AD well in Dovecot. However, if I change this user's password in AD, the old password still works for authentication in Dovecot and the new is working too. Is there a time to make Dovecot don't "remember" the old password or is it a bug ? Restarting Dovecot don't solve the problem. Do you already heard about this ? Please tell me what conf files you maybe need. Thanks in advance Nicolas signature -----

Re: LDAP and dovecot

For the record. I compiled dovecot to use the openldap libraries my openldap server uses. My email server and ldap server are on two different machines. So I just copied over my ldap libraries and placed them in the correct place and then compiled dovecot. I saw this clue in a different web page. Something about Solaris ldap libraries being bad. CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/openldap/include \ > LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/openldap/lib -R/usr/local/openldap/lib' \ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/tools/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl --with-solr --with-zlib --with-bzlib --with-ldap=yes This now allows me to authenticate with my openldap server. I am NOW able to authenticate to my ldap server. So my final configuration is: dovecot -n # 2.2.10: /usr/local/tools/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.10 i86pc base_dir = /dovecot/var/run/dovecot log_path = /dovecot/log/log mail_location = mbox:~/posta:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:LAYOUT=maildir++:INDEX=~/posta/index:CONTROL=~/posta/control passdb { args = /dovecot/etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap.settings driver = ldap } protocols = imap service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 } } ssl_cert = </dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </dovecot/certs/dovecot.key ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes userdb { args = /dovecot/etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap.settings driver = ldap } /dovecot/etc/dovecot/conf.d/ldap.settings hosts = ldap.outputservices.com tls = no auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = dc=ldap,dc=outputservices,dc=com Thank you all.

X-DOVECOT capabilities
by Timo Sirainen 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Dovecot has a few hidden features currenly, which I know some webmails have been hardcoded to use. Maybe it would be nice to have these available in a bit more globally usable way and advertise some kind of X-DOVECOT capability? I don't really like the idea of having a ton of separate X-DOVECOT-* capabilities. Maybe instead just have X-DOVECOT-1 for the current functionality and when more is added X-DOVECOT-2 etc? Then describe in Dovecot wiki page what they actually contain. Thoughts? The current list of features are at least: - STATUS (X-SIZE): Sum of all RFC822.SIZEs in a mailbox. (More efficient than FETCHing them.) - STATUS (X-GUID): Show mailbox's GUID. - SEARCH X-SAVEDBEFORE, X-SAVEDON, X-SAVEDSINCE: Search with message's saved-timestamp. - FETCH X-SAVEDATE: Fetch message's saved-timestamp. - SEARCH & FETCH X-GUID: Search/fetch message GUID - SEARCH X-MAILBOX, FETCH X-MAILBOX, FETCH X-REAL-UID: With virtual mailboxes search/fetch the mail's physical mailbox name and message UID. - X-CANCEL <tag>: Stop a (long-running) command, which once in a while goes back to the main loop. For example SEARCH or FETCH.

how to solve : Dovecot version mismatch: Master is v2.1.7, lmtp is v2.2.13
by Dave Myers 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Hello again dovecot list ;) I've recently upgraded my dovecot version from 2.1.7 to 2.2.13. both versions where installed from source. I upgraded why attempting to get lmtp working. I ultimately just coped the executable lmtp to the location that dovecot was expecting it to be in. but then the above error appeared. However when I get the info from dovecot I get the following... $ dovecot -n # 2.2.13: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf so there seems to be an issue somewhere. I should note that I had copied my previous /conf.d/ files and then copied them back after the update. I guess that I have missed a switch during the build, or need to modify a line in the config somewhere that tells what the version is, but that doesn't explain why the dovecot -n returns the correct info, but the error reports something different. I am considering inserting the version_ignore=yes config option, but where should I insert it ? Thanks in advance.

dovecot´s multiple quota roots
by Andreas Kasenides 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

I am trying to find out how Dovecot behaves when there are multiple quota roots. I could not find something authoritative on this. For example, on a nicely running server that used fs quota I now have in 90-quota.conf > plugin { > quota = fs:Mail Quota:user:mount=/Mail > quota2 = maildir:Mail User Quota > } When I do > > doveadm quota get -u atrige01 > Quota name Type Value Limit > % > Mail Quota STORAGE 80036 204800 > 39 > Mail User Quota STORAGE 79306 - > 0 > Mail User Quota MESSAGE 304 - > 0 Apparently both STORAGE quotas values are the same. The question is which of the two is being used by Dovecot. If I insert a limit on the maildir quota which of the two will be used? I am using Dovecot 2.2.12. thank you

Thank you all for your assistance. I was able to locate another web site that mentioned I needed to compile dovecot with my openldap libraries. I then compiled dovecot in the following manner: CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/openldap/include \ LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/openldap/lib -R/usr/local/openldap/lib' \ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/tocevod --with-ssl=openssl --with-solr --with-zlib --with-bzlib --with-ldap=yes This then included the openldap libraries. I tested access and now it works. ldd on /dovecot/libexec/dovecot/auth showed the openldap libraries. libdovecot.so.0 => /usr/local/tools/dovecot/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 libpam.so.1 => /usr/lib/libpam.so.1 libldap-2.4.so.2 => /usr/local/openldap/lib/libldap-2.4.so.2 libsasl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsasl.so.1 libssl.so.0.9.7 => /usr/sfw/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => /usr/sfw/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 liblber-2.4.so.2 => /usr/local/openldap/lib/liblber-2.4.so.2 libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2 libgen.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgen.so.1 librt.so.1 => /usr/lib/librt.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1 libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1 libsendfile.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsendfile.so.1 libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1 libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/sfw/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 libcmd.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcmd.so.1 libmd.so.1 => /usr/lib/libmd.so.1 libaio.so.1 => /usr/lib/libaio.so.1 libmp.so.2 => /usr/lib/libmp.so.2 libscf.so.1 => /usr/lib/libscf.so.1 libdoor.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdoor.so.1 libuutil.so.1 => /usr/lib/libuutil.so.1 libssl_extra.so.0.9.7 => /usr/sfw/lib/libssl_extra.so.0.9.7 libcrypto_extra.so.0.9.7 => /usr/sfw/lib/libcrypto_extra.so.0.9.7 libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 Thanks again.

Support of unicode in then recipient names

Hi Dovecot Community, We are using ltmp to deliver messages through postfix to dovecot. During testing we have found that dovecot does not understand recipient email address if it is composed from national symbols : e.g. ยจฆฟคฏข(a)xn--22cdfh1b8fsa.xn--22cdfh1b8fsa Question is are there any plans to either add native support for such email addresses or to translate it to punycode and then try to find such a recipient? -- Александр Егоров (Alexander Yegorov)

negative auth cache?
by Will Yardley 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

I am using Dovecot 2.2.13, which doesn't yet seem to have the $auth_cache_negative parameter. Should the negative cache value honor $auth_cache_ttl then? I had a problem where some of our ldap systems were reinitialized. Some users, presumably those who tried to login while their records were returning a failure, became unable to login after the records were once again returning normally. I currently have: auth_cache_size = 5 M auth_cache_ttl = 5 mins # Not yet implemented #auth_cache_negative = 2 mins yet the problem seemed to persist for more than an hour. Also, how can I flush the cache for a non-default instance's cache using doveadm -- "doveadm auth cache flush" doesn't seem to have an '-a' option AFAICT. # doveadm auth usage: doveadm [-Dv] [-f <formatter>] auth <command> [<args>] cache flush w

LDAP and dovecot
by dovecot＠outputservices.com 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

At my company I have users who are now becoming remote and using their mobile devices for email. I use Solaris 10 10/09 s10x_u8wos_08a X86 as an operating system and I now need a more secure email solution than the generic sendmail / imap solution. I want to use dovecot and postfix because I have read good reports on these products for ease of setup and use. I need to use both with SSL certificates and username / passwords for both receiving and sending emails. I am having difficulty getting dovecot to work with my ldap password solution. I have read all the documentation, there is a lot of it, and find it confusing. But I have tried very hard to get the solution to work. I have not compiled postfix because I want to use the dovecot authentication solution it mentions. Therefore I need to get dovecot to work first. I have dovecot 2.2.10 & postfix 2.11.1 with openldap 2.4.33. I have tested dovecot with /etc/passwd /etc/shadow password authentication and password flat files. Those work, but not what I need. I need to use ldap so the users only have to set one password. Below is the information I have. I have created self signed SSL certificates for testing purposes.

With dovecot I have to put them in a different folder, I called it posta for now. It then makes them . Files. (.Sent, .Trash ?)

If you only want to dump a few auth cache entries, you can just authenticate with a bad password. When a different (and possibly correct password) is supplied, there will be a cache miss and the new credentials will be cached. echo "1 login someuser badpassword\n2 logout" | netcat --ssl your-imap-server:993 Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Exit status code 134; what is it, in the context of Dovecot Antispam plug-in?
by Ben Johnson 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hello! I just migrated from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14.04 LTS and thereby from Dovecot 2.0.19 to 2.2.9. I've been using dovecot-antispam plugin with great success for the past year with 2.0.19, but after this migration, I've been seeing the exit status code 134 in the syslog when attempting to debug the Dovecot Antispam plugin not working after the migration. I have some debugging output in my pipe script; the output looks something like this: Copying message contents to temporary file for debugging purposes; file is: /tmp/sendmail-msg-7662.txt Checking if the command-line input argument string (--spam) contains the string "ham" or "spam" Mode is "SPAM" Calling (as user vmail) '/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d "sa-training(a)example.com" -m "Training.SPAM" -p "/tmp/sendmail-msg-7662.txt"' Exit status was 134 Yet, I'm able to copy the above command and execute it manually, via the command-line, and it works (and by "works", I mean to say that the behavior is correct and exactly as expected; I receive the "Spam" email at the designated mailbox). Here's how I'm calling it when it works perfectly well (as "root"): # su -c '/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d "sa-training(a)example.com" -m "Training.HAM" -p "/tmp/sendmail-msg-7460.txt"' vmail Any idea what status 134 might be or how to work around it? It looks to be some kind of "temporary failure exception", but that is less than informative in this context. "doveconf -n" output is appended.

replicator only starts for users who log in at least once
by Alan McGinlay 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hi! I recently setup a second with replication to the other. Both machines run ubuntu 12.04 with dovecot 2.2.13 (6bb26098a45c). All users mail accounts are currently synced manually to the first (mb1) using a dsync script, they are synchronised from a cyrus imap server. Users are still logging into the cyrus server. It appears that the only accounts that are replicated are ones who have logged into either of the dovecot servers at least once, is this how it is supposed to work? I was hoping to get full replication of all mail accounts before starting to move users into the new system. Thanks, Alan

My Dsync isn't replicating 'EXPUNGE' IMAP command

Hi! I have two Dovecot-2.2.13 servers with Dsync Replication: server1 and server2. When I execute 'EXPUNGE' on server1 side, the messages with FLAG \Deleted are expunged only on server1. The message is still present in Server2. Could someone give me a hint reason for this ?

Case sensitivity
by John Oliver 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

I think I've answered my last question by changing mail_location But I'm still getting duplicate mailboxes: [joliver@localhost ~]$ sudo ls -l /var/vmail/ total 8 drwx------. 3 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 11 10:30 testuser1 drwx------. 3 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 11 10:36 testUser1 The cn for my user is 'testUser1', and that's where postfix writes mail. But dovecot wants to use 'testuser1', even if I log in as 'testUser1' I suppose one answer may be to try to get postfix to always use lower-case, but in case that can't happen, how can I get dovecot to ignore case when looking for mailboxes? -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * ***********************************************************************

Per-folder (per-mailbox) message expiration with control from client side — is it possible?
by Lev Serebryakov 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 I'm migrating from «old skool» solution with one mail client (MUA) on one computer, which retrieves mail via POP3, sorts it and manages it locally to installation when there are several MUAs on different devices, accessing mail via IMAP4, and all sorting and management should be server-side. Sorting is “easy”: sieve. Here are some nuisance (like, if I want to rename folder/mailbox I need to edit script manually. BTW, it looks like that such thing could be done automagically, as language is very simple and find all references to mailboxes is not too hard task), but it works. But is here good solution for expiration? I have abut 50 folders (mailboxes) and rules are very different for them. They are mostly time-based (like "last 30 days"), but some folders are count-limited ("last 2000 messages") and some folders should have time limit but non-read messages could not be deleted at all. Ok, Thunderbird almost could do it (it doesn't have “don't remove unread messages” option), but I don't want to have any meaningful configuration in MUAs, as each of it could be non-active for long time. Only thing I could find about expiration in dovecot documentation is "doveadm expunge" and helper "Expire" plugin, but it looks like very low-level solution for admins, it could not be managed from client side without direct ssh access to server and it is, in general, very inconvenient. Is here any better solution, maybe, 3rd party one? - -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJUFf2BXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRGOTZEMUNBMEI1RjQzMThCNjc0QjMzMEFF QUIwM0M1OEJGREM0NzhGAAoJEOqwPFi/3EePphIQAJUlYIFgXWBcWcrejcbOFgYf op+g35YF4wfwboPkgb/mKk46V3lcjmQImcHir2fci0SCsSSfARcU1a8y4iaeSkPU l949PaMYD8stfukfCbXjoY5pD5FIpj1Os7dDtgdoygp0tfsA4mDg1O0exZoduR9s q4NNPlsnlKOjX2KMOdcWI2AR8/xiFi4zvDTB/vibQPMy8kXVB8ld4Mk0BF1TUyOv 80KKOKzFDxQeLzvoEiNm6FDAqYGEYmpECUaFGXyKG1a7wslhEmEeShJUH5lsj3Oz niMxoO/KTEW0U9QucHQogFJzrcsKkJiOByjqQovWKgZziJll38lCN0O1murMmRBC bDLmN9t53JC7Ef88AbKsaFeULy/AxriohdGU6ePb8j/4W9KlERSJyvgxFkcMxHTg 9mSPiYAHaPr+Ycrzs9SOqhki5b6tI8Q39W/etRorb2us9FS1JE7ib4XLk5ufiUje XOLc4TACUh1qnd/5UUgcIuUrg/akSJgJLZoXg36LqUF/1OeMJHec4RMJresvewAZ RwseWHH/KpD7KxOWlO2Zw1ceHlVFDLWOO/4KWoy/XwZ66fQxEAkLO8ZVyeKMh5Nh dYL+yLQKZdgNWAjalK4lFmwz3u/9jNITwtP5GYLbYnP28EcbDfiN/w9oKGOI8fsD ulD+ca3vx29qdmGGYcKt =9+bG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

sieve: is it possible to filter ALL mailing lists (with header List-Id) to their folders with ONE rule?
by Lev Serebryakov 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hello, Dovecot. Is it possible to write one rule in sieve, which will: (1) Trigger on any message with "List-Id" header AND (2) Put this message to folder with name build from content of "List-Id" header, in such way, that message with List-Id List-Id: This is decription of list <list-name.host.org> will be put into folder "org.host.list-name" where "." is namespace separator (so, such folders will be shown as hierarchy in mail client)? I don't want to write ~50 rules by hands and add new ones from time to time. I'm speaking about dovecot/pigeonhole sieve implementation, of course. All examples on net shows only manual one-rule-per-list approach :( -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev(a)serebryakov.spb.ru>

Migration - Getting it right the first time.
by Dan Carroll 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hello All, I’m currently in the process of migrating a very old imap installation to a new server. I think I have everything in place now but I’ve not yet written the procedure on how to do it. The outline will be as follows: put MTA-OLD into store mode where it holds the incoming emails for an indefinite period. Copy all IMAP data across to the new server. Process the IMAP data, converting it from courier to dovecot. put MTA-OLD into forward mode, sending all mail to MTA-NEW Adjust MX records accordingly so MTA-OLD is no longer used. The “process” part is where I need to take some care. I am aware of the migration tool available for moving the data, but I’m not confidant that my courier databases are in a healthy state. Does anyone have any idea how I can verify that this is the case? I’m happy to do it either before, or after the migration to dovecot, but I’d probably prefer to do it beforehand on the old server. The biggest thing I am concerned about is losing the order of mail messages. It’s not always enough to trust the “received date” for sorting mail, I’d rather my imap clients trust the imap server to send them the correct order. A second question. Is there a possibility to make the MTA switch, and migrate the messages across in an orderly fashion at a later date? Again, I’d like to ensure that older migrated messages appear further down the “order” than new messages coming into the MTA. Lastly, thanks for an awesome piece of software. My limited experience so far has been refreshing! -Dan

Dovecot HA
by Hoggins! 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

Hello everyone, Following my previous message about replication (I'm still stuck), I was wondering in a more general way how to achieve high availability with Dovecot, and how to store the mail data. Do you have some thoughts about this ? Maybe one or two links leading to people who already have ideas or experience ? I don't host a big e-mail service, nor have a lot of clients connecting. I just need to ensure that data is always available, from the storage to the actual service. Thanks in advance.

charset-specific searches, and continuation lines
by Eric Abrahamsen 12 Sep '14

12 Sep '14

Hi there, I'm looking into improving IMAP search support for the Gnus Emacs mail client, and trying to add the ability to search non-ascii characters. So far as I know, I start this invocation with something like: . UID SEARCH CHARSET UTF-8 TEXT {NNN} Where NNN is the number of bytes in my search string. Dovecot then responds with: + OK So... what do I do then? I don't actually know what the next statement is, to provide the actual search string itself. Googling has proved unhelpful, as most of the examples online don't actually show this "+ OK" response. Can someone just briefly outline what's meant to happen next? I've tried including the search string immediately after the byte-size, separated by various combinations of \n\r, but that always gives me a "Missing LF after literal size" error. I'm using the Archlinux dovecot package, which reports version 2.2.13-1. Thanks! Eric

Here are the relveant namespace configuraiton from the server where it ist working fine: ... namespace { list = children location = mdbox:/home/vmail/%%d/%%n prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } namespace { hidden = no inbox = no list = children location = virtual:/home/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual prefix = [rolmail]/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Items" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / type = private } ... Have you any hint for me how I can fix my problem. Thanks and regards Urban Loesch

minimal configuration for lucene fts
by Eric Abrahamsen 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

Hi, I'm using dovecot (version 2.2.13 on archlinux) in the simplest, no-brainer way possible. It sits between mbsync, which I use to fetch mail from servers, and Gnus, my MUA. Both mbsync and Gnus connect to dovecot with an invocation like this: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:$HOME/.mail/ea/ I have three different mail accounts, all that changes is the final directory on the mail_location path above. I haven't touched anything else: there's no running daemon, no configuration, no user database, no PAM, no nothing. Now I'm trying to set up text searching via lucene, but all the examples I've seen online assume a full running daemon and user accounts. I tried to fake it by running: doveadm index -u eric@localhost -q INBOX -o mail_location-maildir:/home/eric/.mail/ea but it was clearly expecting a user database. Is there any way to create text indexes for my three different accounts, in their respective directories, without fully setting up a running dovecot? I'll do that if I have to, but my current setup works great, and is very simple, and I'd like to keep it simple if I can. Thanks! Eric

Dovecot can't read mail, creates duplicate directories
by John Oliver 11 Sep '14

11 Sep '14

CentOS 6.5, dovecot 2.0.9-7 I used http://www.linuxmail.info/postfix-dovecot-ldap-centos-5/ to configure LDAP authentication for postfix and dovecot. I can log in to dovecot via IMAP, but it cannot read messages. It does wind up creating alternate directories though: [joliver@localhost ~]$ sudo ls -l /var/vmail/ total 8 drwx------. 3 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 10 15:00 testuser1 drwx------. 3 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 10 14:59 testUser1 [joliver@localhost ~]$ sudo ls -l /var/vmail/testuser1/ total 4 drwx------. 3 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 10 15:00 mail [joliver@localhost ~]$ sudo ls -l /var/vmail/testuser1/mail/ total 0 [joliver@localhost ~]$ sudo ls -l /var/vmail/testUser1/ total 4 drwx------. 5 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 10 14:59 Maildir [joliver@localhost ~]$ sudo ls -l /var/vmail/testUser1/Maildir/ total 12 drwx------. 2 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 10 14:59 cur drwx------. 2 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 10 15:01 new drwx------. 2 vmail vmail 4096 Sep 10 15:01 tmp [joliver@localhost ~]$ sudo ls -l /var/vmail/testUser1/Maildir/new/ total 8 -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 444 Sep 10 15:25 1410387938.Vfd02I1e89M2893.localhost.localdomain -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 453 Sep 10 15:26 1410387970.Vfd02I1e8cM685475.localhost.localdomain [joliver@localhost ~]$ telnet localhost 143 Trying ::1...

Just a wild-ass guess, but shouldn't "master_user=%u" be something like "master_user=muser" where "muser" is the master user as defined in your master password file?

outlook 2013
by Bob Miller 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

I am trying really hard to wrap my head around why people insist on using this program... Where I have outlook 2013 users, I have had nothing but problems getting their mail to work with imap. my solution has been to set them up with pop, which works just like it always has. Or move them to a different program. recently, I have a customer who requires multiple machines, all using outlook 2013, to access the same email address, so pretty much have to use imap. if I set up just one of the machines with imap, it works more less as expected, with hiccups such as mail taking an hour or two or more to show up. But shortly after I connect a 2nd machine to the same account, one or both machines start to go wonky. Symptoms include deleted items returning, read messages becoming unread again, and duplicates being constantly created and deleted. The last I can confirm by watching in webmail and refreshing the inbox every few seconds; as mail shows up and deletes in outlook, so it does in webmail too. On my test machine connected to the same server, I have evolution, outlook and thunderbird all connecting to one account with no problems. Well, outlook hiccups, but it's not unusable. And I have other users on the system that share email accounts across a variety of other clients and platforms, including older versions of outlook. I have tried checking message rules, there are none; removing all folder subscriptions; running scanpst, which finds errors even before the account finishes syncing and ever time I run it after that; I have looked for viruses/malware; I have confirmed there is no forwarding or some trickery happening on the server; chkdsk and similar hardware checks all come up clean, the computers are only a couple of months old; I have got certs set up with SANs and the CA installed such that outlook does not error on the certificate; and I have tried just about every combination of settings that seem relevant. The one thing that does seem to work, at least for a few minutes or an hour or two, is deleting and recreating the accounts on one of the computers. But the problem inevitably returns in short order. Surely people have outlook 2013 connecting via imap to dovecot without problems; is there some special trick that google is hiding from me? -- Computerisms Bob Miller 867-334-7117 / 867-633-3760 http://computerisms.ca

Dovecot replication
by Hoggins! 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hello list, I'm trying to achieve very simple replication, but I'm not sure if I'm starting the good way. I have two Dovecot servers that use the same GlusterFS storage. Of course, the indexes get corrupted eventually, even if I apply an "NFS-like" configuration. So I'd like to synchronize my two servers with each other. I'm trying to follow this page : http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication, but I have to admit that it's not really self-explanatory. I got several errors, so I decided to start fresh, and that is why I'm not giving you any configuration, but I prefer asking if I have the prerequisites. The page states that my userdb should have "user listing", and that you can check it by issuing `doveadm user '*'`. But I don't know what it's supposed to produce, apart from my userlist (my userdb is the system passwd file). As my servers are located on the same private LAN, I decided I would not go with the SSH replication solution, but with the simple mutual TCP connection... Maybe this is a wrong start. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance !

Hi. I'm using exim that delivers email over LMTP to dovecot 2.2.13. I noticed that dovecot LMTP service is sometimes (reare but repeats) mixing users. Example below. There is one mail (msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E@KRMXA41>) that is going to be delivered to multiple local recipients.

Replication problem
by Ve (HOME) 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hi, I'm using mdbox and replication. Due to configuration error synchronization was not able to be done last week. Since then the problem has been corrected but synchronisation for some mailbox always failed in I/O stalled timeout for 600 seconds. The link between the two servers is quite slow and multiple sync are done in parallel leading to congested link. I can't replicate with rsync as change in the mdbox has been done on the two servers to get back to a working state. What do you think could be done to resynchronized the two dovecot server. Another question is what is this timeout ? Timeout of communication i.e no data received during 600 seconds ( to me that looks unlikely ) or 600 seconds for doing the full sync or 600 seconds for one mail sync. Thanks for any help. Regards, Vincent

preserving flags for shared mailbox when migrating from cyrus to dovecot
by Jogi Hofmüller 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Dear all, Despite all the progress we are making in our attempt to make the migration as smooth and transparent for our users there are still some important unsolved issues. One thing that I can't figure out is how to preserve a user's flags that s/he has for mail in a shared mailbox. So far we tried 'doveadm backup -R' as well as the cyrus2dovecot script from here [1]. Both work well for individual mailboxes but do not migrate subscriptions for shared mailboxes and -- more importantly -- flags for mail in a shared mailbox. Reconstructing subscriptions is quite easy but I have no clue on how to reconstruct a user's flags. Any hint is greatly appreciated!

master user in ldap?
by Francesco 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hello everyone, i was wondering if it was possible to add master user criteria in ldap backends. the idea is that the users, members of a specific group, should be able to login with their own credentials on behalf of other users. i've tried setting it up like this: hosts = localhost dn = CN=ldapuser,OU=someldapou,DC=domain,DC=tld dnpass = <password> auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = DC=domain,DC=tld user_attrs = sAMAccountName=home=/var/vmail/% $,skip=found,maxStorage=quota_rule=*:storage=% $M,quota_rule2=Trash:storage=+100M user_filter = (&(ObjectClass=person)(sAMAccountName=% u)(memberOf=CN=Domain Admins,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=tld)) then i added a passdb as follows passdb { driver = ldap master = yes args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-masteruser.conf.ext } and of course the separator. but when i try to login with realuser*userinadministratorsgroup passwordofuserinadministratorsgroup i get authentication failed. am i missing something? is it even possible to accomplish such thing? because i didn't see any example in the wiki, only plain passdb and sql. thanks in advance Francesco

Escape comma in the LDAP passdb subquery configuration
by Francesco Fiore 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Hi I have to configure the LDAP passdb to execute a subquery defining dinamically the new DN to use. For example: pass_attrs = @mail=mail=%{login_user},dc=%{login_domain},dc=example,dc=com,\ =proxy=y,\ =host=%{ldap:mailHost@mail} In the previous example, the problem is the use of "," for DN representation, which is also the separator for the attribute template in the pass_attr parameter value. I tried to escape it with '\' or '%' but it doesn't work. Dovecot version is 2.2.13. How can I resolve this issue? Thanks in advance

ACL with Public Namespace
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

I've configured a namespace like this: namespace avisos { type = public list = yes location = maildir:/var/mail.avisos:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/avisos subscriptions = yes prefix = "AVISOS." mailbox DIVULGA { auto = subscribe } } This is the namespace representation in filesystem: root@imap:~# ls -lha /var/mail.avisos/ total 44K drwxr-xr-x 7 vmail mail 4,0K Set 9 18:21 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4,0K Set 9 17:08 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail mail 4,0K Set 9 16:49 .DIVULGA -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17 Set 9 18:21 dovecot-acl -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 0 Set 9 18:11 dovecot-acl-list -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 360 Set 9 18:11 dovecot.mailbox.log -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 8 Set 9 18:02 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 vmail mail 0 Set 9 14:57 dovecot-uidvalidity.540f3f88 -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 249 Set 9 18:11 subscriptions This is the content of dovecot-acl file located at namespace's root level: root@imap:~# cat /var/mail.avisos/dovecot-acl authenticated rs After reload dovecot service, it trows this error message in log: Sep 9 18:14:13 imap dovecot: imap(user@mydomain): Error: Failed to autocreate mailbox AVISOS.DIVULGA: Permission denied So, I've changed the dovecot-acl file to this one and the problem was solved. root@imap:~# cat /var/mail.avisos/dovecot-acl authenticated rsk But that change created another problem: dovecot-acl file is copied into AVISOS.DIVULGA. So, the user can create a maildir inside it. This behaviour is bad because "invalid" maildirs are created under the filesystem. My intention is to don't permit the user to create any maildir inside any location of that namespace. But, I want to make possible to the administrator to edit the dovecot.conf, insert a new mailbox into namespace avisos and reload dovecot service to create new maildirs automatically. How can I solve this problem? -- Att. Bruno Galindro da Costa

Dovecot + Postfix postmulti SASL
by Nerijus Kislauskas 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

Hello, Our Postfix setup uses multi-instance feature. I would like to enable dovecot SASL mechanisms in postfix. Open two unix sockets is not a problem for us: service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-instance1/private/auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-instance2/private/auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } Lets assume, that postfix-instance1 uses LDAP1, and postfix-instance2 uses LDAP2. How can I use different userdb and passdb databases for those sockets? -- Sincerely, Nerijus Kislauskas

Panic/backtrace in dovecot 2.2.13
by Ed W 07 Sep '14

07 Sep '14

Hi I'm running into regular problems with dovecot choking on "corrupted" index files. The main problem is that it doesn't sort itself out and recover. This message below is repeated regularly in the log files (until I delete the index files) I *think* the trigger to get into this situation might be a files being delivered with incorrect S= values in the filename? Which is to say I am using maildrop to deliver messages and occasionally maildrop seems to write files with incorrect S= names (anyone know why or how to fix it?). The error logged regarding incorrect S= values is obviously completely different, but I speculate that it could be the earlier cause that gets the index file out of shape as shown in the problem here Thanks for any help? (note it's not easy to remove maildrop at present) Ed W Sep 1 07:32:51 mail1 dovecot: imap(xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com): Panic: file mail-index-transaction-export.c: line 203 (log_append_ext_hdr_update): assertion failed: (u32.offset + u32.size <= ext_hdr_size) Sep 1 07:32:51 mail1 dovecot: imap(xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x69a9e) [0xedee5a9e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x69b21) [0xedee5b21] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0xede97a69] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_export+0xa36) [0xedfff706] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xa9f50) [0xedffdf50] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit_full+0xc4) [0xedffe454] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit+0x23) [0xedffe513] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_commit+0xef) [0xee0078ef] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x52e05) [0xedfa6e05] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x52040) [0xedfa6040] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x5251a) [0xedfa651a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_init+0xf4) [0xedfa68d4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x3b) [0xedfb786b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync+0x3f) [0xedfb79af] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](cmd_select_full+0x187) [0x80594d7] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](cmd_select+0x17) [0x8059f37] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](command_exec+0x32) [0x805f1a2] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT]() [0x805e197] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT]() [0x805e2d9] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](client_handle_input+0x115) [0x805e515] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](client_input+0x72) [0x805e8c2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x59) [0xedef8e89] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xee) [0xedefa05e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x1c) [0xedef8f1c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x48) [0xedef8fa8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2e) [0xede9d76e] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](main+0x2bd) [0x80520ed] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0xedce9f25] Sep 1 07:32:51 mail1 dovecot: imap(xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 31315 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled)

lmtp memory usage problem - Fatal: pool_system_realloc(268435456): Out of memory
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hi. In my setup exim delivers mails to dovecot using LMTP. In one LMTP session exim can deliver up to 200 recipients (batch_max set to that value). Now the problem is that sometimes 256MB is not enoug for dovecot lmtp to handle incoming emails. My questions: - how big memory limit should be for lmtp? I was thinking that lmtp (more or less) simply reads from one descriptor and writes to file, then does rename() (maildir used here) and that's all. That shouldn't require big number of memory. So how to determine correct memory limit and what affects this limit? - is number of recipients in one LMTP session important here? Not sure, maybe dovecot stores email in memory first and then writes to the user maildirs? Setting (batch) limit to 1 could reduce memory usage then (since no need to store anything in memory) ?

stemmer or no-stemmer..
by Akash 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hi, In the documentation of FTS lucene, I need little more clarification about this section: -------------------------------------------------- --with-lucene --with-stemmer The second switch is only required if you have compiled libstemmer yourself or if it's included in the CLucene you are using. -------------------------------------------------- I am totally unsure but as I understand, on Debian testing, the stemmer support for libclucene comes as part of libclucene-contribs1 package (which isn't a required dependency and doesn't get installed if I install dovecot from repos). Please correct me if I am wrong. When I install dovecot-lucene from repos, libclucene-core1 and libstemmer install with it (but no libclucene-contribs1). Does that mean dovecot search has stemmer support? Now I am compiling dovecot and libclucene for Debian stable (which doesn't have latest libs in repos). If I don't compile the contribs part in clucene package but compile dovecot with --with-stemmer, do I get the stemmer support? If I totally opt of this stemmer thing, do I lose anything on search performance? And when you have a no_snowball option, what is the need of libstemmer altogether? Please help me through these confusions.. -Regards, Akash

Migrating from 2.0.x to 2.2
by Jens Dueholm Christensen 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hi I'm about to migrate a setup with <20 IMAP (but with a few million mails in all) accounts that belong to the same system-user on an older machine running Dovecot 2.0.13 to a new machine running Dovecot 2.2.13 (or possibly newer..). Mails are stored in Maildirs with no special or advanced features (like alternate storage etc etc). Filesystems are prepared for the expected amount of inodes required, and for the time beeing a change to mdbox is seen as an added complexity. One requirement of the migration is that messageID is not changed - mails are referenced by other systems that expect to find individual mails by the ID. Since dsync is incompatible between 2.0<->2.1<->2.2 what is the best way to perform this migration? I was hoping of rsync'ing all Maildirs from the old machine to the new one (including indexes etc etc) and power up Dovecot 2.2.x and see what happens, but is that possible or is there another (and better) way short of installing 2.0.x on the new machine, rsync everything and then upgrade to 2.2.x? Regards, Jens Dueholm Christensen

Trying Dovecot Replication with dsync
by Listas＠Adminlinux 04 Sep '14

Hi, I have a failover cluster for mail server with: Ubuntu12.04 + DRBD (for block replication) + Ext4 filesystem + Dovecot-2.0.19-2 with Mdbox It works fine with ~50k accounts. My cluster design: http://adminlinux.com.br/cluster_design.txt I plan to test Dovecot Replication with dsync to build an active/active cluster with load balancing. Can anyone direct me to some literature? A tutorial for example. I'm installing a cluster (for tests) with Ubuntu 14.04 + Ext4 filesystem (without Drbd) + Dovecot-2.2.9-1ubuntu2.1. My conf is in: http://adminlinux.com.br/replication-doveconf.txt I'm following this doc http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication but I'm getting some errors: 1) Aug 14 15:39:34 ceph1 dovecot: imap(account=domaintest.com): Error: open(/var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo) failed: Permission denied What is the correct perms for /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo ? Currently: # ll /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo prw------- 1 root root 0 Aug 14 15:57 /var/run/dovecot/replication-notify-fifo| 2) Aug 14 16:02:34 ceph1 dovecot: dsync-server(account=domaintest.com): Error: Couldn't create lock /var/lib/imap/account=domaintest.com/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory Aug 14 16:02:34 ceph1 dovecot: dsync-local(account=domaintest.com): Error: Couldn't create lock /var/lib/imap/account=domaintest.com/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory In my production cluster, it is automatically created by dovecot when the user performs the first login: /var/lib/imap/<account> for INDEX /var/spool/imap/<account> for Mdbox Thanks! -- Thiago Henrique

Some Dsync Replication Errors

This one is fairly common: Sep 3 12:58:25 molecular dovecot: dsync-server(user(a)domain.org): Warning: Failed to do incremental sync for mailbox INBOX, retry with a full sync (Modseq 100298 no longer in transaction log) These two I ran into yesterday and today: Sep 2 11:13:32 molecular dovecot: dsync-server(user2(a)domain2.org): Error: Timeout during state=slave_recv_last_common Sep 3 12:52:08 molecular dovecot: dsync-server(user3(a)domain3.org): Error: read(remote.mailserver.net) failed: EOF Configs: mail_plugins = notify replication service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 1234 } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 } } service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail mode = 0600 } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail mode = 0600 } } plugin { mail_replica = tcp:sub.domain.org:1234 } And doveconf -n: [root@molecular dovecot]# doveconf -n # 2.2.13.16 (94835dd63163): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 x86_64 Scientific Linux release 6.5 (Carbon) ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: from=%f: %$ doveadm_password = secret doveadm_port = 1234 mail_debug = yes mail_home = /vmail/%d/%n/home mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n mail_plugins = notify replication 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 duplicate namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } plugin { mail_log_fields = box msgid from flags mail_replica = tcp:sub.domain.org:1234 sieve = /vmail/%d/%n/home/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /vmail/%d/%n/home/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0600 user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0660 user = vmail } user = root } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 1234 } } service imap-login { process_min_avail = 3 service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 0 } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } process_min_avail = 0 service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 64 M } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 } } ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/ssl/sub.domain.org.pem ssl_key = </etc/postfix/ssl/domain.key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } protocol lda { hostname = sub.domain2.org mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/ mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)domain2.org } protocol imap { imap_idle_notify_interval = 24 mins mail_max_userip_connections = 60 } protocol sieve { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 managesieve_implementation_string = Dovecot Pigeonhole managesieve_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 } -- --Asai

Insert custom header in Mail logger plugin
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Is it possible to log a message custom header through Mail logger plugin or other method? It seems that there are a fixed number of info that is configurable via mail_log_fields (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailLog) .. My custom header is X-VERTICAL-IP-Quarantine-ID and I want a log event like this one: Aug 27 09:48:13 imap dovecot: imap(user@domain): copy from INBOX: box=SPAM, uid=213, *X-VERTICAL-IP-Quarantine-ID=u7cnUqYDPA9a*, msgid=< 0.0.D7.290.1CFC155CE887302.0(a)etm2.com>, size=26481, vsize=26949, from==?UTF-8?Q?Dafiti=20-=20Parceiros?= <aaa@domain>, subject==?UTF-8?Q?Sapatos=20com=2040%OFF?==?UTF-8?Q?!=20Apro?=? =?UTF-8?Q?veite!?= -- Att.

Setup sieve failed
by Christian Vielhauer 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Hi, I try to setup sieve but I have some trouble. Using dovecot 2.2.9 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. I replaced my correct domain with „domain.tld“. I am able to create sieve scripts using SOGo. The scripts are created in my mailbox. For example in /var/www/kunden/mail/domain.tld/testuser/sieve/sogo.sieve I have the following script and in same ~/sieve folder is a subdirectory available that’s called "tmp“: ~/sieve ~/sieve/tmp require ["vacation"]; if allof ( not exists ["list-help", "list-unsubscribe", "list-subscribe", "list-owner", "list-post", "list-archive", "list-id", "Mailing-List"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :is "Precedence" ["list", "bulk", "junk"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :matches "To" "Multiple recipients of*" ) {vacation :days 1 :addresses [„testuser(a)domain.tld"] text: This is a vacation test message. Please ignore. . ; } Now I open /var/log/mail.err and I can see the following: Sep 3 17:50:09 mail dovecot: imap(testuser(a)domain.tld): Error: stat(/var/www/kunden/mail/domain.tld/testuser/.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory I try to create ~/.dovecot.sieve folder, but this file exists and is a symlink. 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 vmail vmail 16 Sep 3 18:14 .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/sogo.sieve I think I have some miss configuration because i don’t receive any vacation reply when I send mail to my testuser. In log files i cannot see any entries according to my sieve script.

quota for subfolder with prefix=INBOX.
by Jogi Hofmüller 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Hi all, We use prefix=INBOX. in order to keep things as they were on the old server. Now I started playing with quota and have trouble getting the additional quota for Trash and/or Junk working. My expectation was that once a user is over quota and moves email to trash sh/e should be able to receive new email again. That's what I cannot get to work with our setup. Attached you find the config that I thought should be working. The numbers are ridiculously low but that's just for testing. Here is some output from doveadm doveadm quota get -u user Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 5422 5120 105 User quota MESSAGE 18 - 0 doveadm mailbox status -u user "messages vsize" "*" INBOX messages=13 vsize=3147033 doveadm mailbox status -u user "messages vsize" "INBOX.*" INBOX.Drafts messages=0 vsize=0 INBOX.Sent messages=0 vsize=0 INBOX.Trash messages=5 vsize=2475790 INBOX.Junk messages=0 vsize=0 Regards, -- j.hofmüller We are all idiots with deadlines. - Mike West

Dovecot is looking for .dovecot.lda-dupes in the wrong place

Hi, I just moved the dovecot maildir location for all virtual users to another location. I moved everything from /var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n to /var/vmail/%d/%n/maildir Everything seem to be fine except of one recurring error: Sep 2 10:16:09 mx0 dovecot: lmtp(13226, sv_bogies(a)neurohr.at) Error: file_dotlock_open(/var/mail/vhosts/domain.at/michael/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory Sep 2 13:31:27 mx0 dovecot: lmtp(16248, sv_bogies(a)neurohr.at) Error: file_dotlock_open(/var/mail/vhosts/domain.at/michael/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory So Dovecot is looking in the old path.
