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

17 Dec '14

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

dsync summary?
by Randall Gellens 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

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

Anyone know what this means and what the implications are? Does this mean some messages are missing? $sudo dsync -D -v -f -R -o mail_fsync=never backup -u test imapc: ... dsync(test): Error: imapc: Remote server didn't send BODY[] for UID 266 in #somefolder -- Randall Gellens Opinions are personal; facts are suspect; I speak for myself only -------------- Randomly selected tag: --------------- Hippogriff: An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin.

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

17 Dec '14

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

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

16 Dec '14

Dovecot 2.0.9 So I am trying to get my Outlook 2010 client to use TLS with Dovecot. The Outlook error that I get is: Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP): A secure connection to the server cannot be established. I have set the port to 143,993,995 none of them work, and the security to TLS. I have all of the certificates in the full chain installed on my machine and when viewing them they all show This certificate is OK.

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

16 Dec '14

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

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

15 Dec '14

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

virtual mailbox segfault
by Tóth Balázs 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

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

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

15 Dec '14

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

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

15 Dec '14

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

Can't save to folders

When I login through imap, I can see everything in ~/mail/ just fine. I cannot save to any of them. If I have an autocreate-autosubscribe folder (ZZZ here), it shows up as empty (correct).

stacking istreams and ostreams
by Philipp Brüll 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

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

Dsync issues between Cyrus and Dovecot

Hello, I have some issues related with dsync when trying to perform two way synchronization between Cyrus and Dovecot. 1st time synchronization always works and email, folders, flags can be synced between these but once for example in dovecot side the user creates a folder, dsync fails with the following errors: Debug: brain M: Other brain should change mailbox INBOX/dove GUID c77e7711be9a6c77fc845ea745963ddb -> df0d180f71e38a544f9e00008aa015be Debug: brain M: out state=master_send_mailbox changed=1 Debug: brain S: in state=recv_mailbox_tree_deletes Error: Can't create mailbox INBOX/dove: Mailbox already exists INBOX/dove folder was created in Dovecot side and does not exist in Cyrus side. I have tried full sync or backup but without any luck. If I delete the folder from Dovecot side the sync works fine again. I can post more info on the configuration if needed. Thank you, Ova

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

12 Dec '14

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

Error: mremap_anon(###) failed: Cannot allocate memory
by Andy Dills 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

We're running dovecot 2.2.15 with pigeonhole 0.4.6, in a clustered environment, nfs with proxy and backend on all servers. I've been seeing some odd errors from lmtp: Error: mremap_anon(127930368) failed: Cannot allocate memory It seems to affect specific users, but it doesn't seem to manifest in any particular way; no user complaints. Just the occasional log message. I would guess this is a bug? I'm open to suggestions and I'd be happy to post config if somebody has an idea. Thanks, Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---

LMTP BUG
by Peter Hodur 12 Dec '14

12 Dec '14

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

mdbox backup strategy
by Jiří František 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

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

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

11 Dec '14

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

Quota issue with mailbox.

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

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

10 Dec '14

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

doveadm -A operations failing due to broken mdbox
by Ralf Hildebrandt 10 Dec '14

10 Dec '14

I'm using "/usr/bin/doveadm purge -A" to purge the mdboxes of my users. Unfortunately this command terminates prematurely once it reaches a defective mdbox! Is there a workaround for this? Like using doveadm to get a list of valid users and then run "doveadm purge -u" on each of those? -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein

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

09 Dec '14

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

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

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

08 Dec '14

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

sdbox and IMAP folders
by Jeff Larsen 08 Dec '14

08 Dec '14

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

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

08 Dec '14

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

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

08 Dec '14

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

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

06 Dec '14

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

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

05 Dec '14

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

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

05 Dec '14

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

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

05 Dec '14

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

mail_location maildir:~/Maildir Invalid user settings[SOLVED]
by soko.tica 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Hallo list, I was having quite a hard time configuring dovecot on OpenBSD -current. The problem was default Maildir setting in 10-mail.conf, namely: mail_location maildir:~/Maildir was unable to locate user's home directory. As far as I can remember, it was the correct setting on OpenBSD-current a week or two ago. Once I figured out and changed it to mail_location maildir:/path/to/home/%u/Maildir the problem was solved. Attached are dmesg, maillog and doveconf -n output.

Unknown scheme SSHA256.HEX.b64
by grundy 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

I'm getting a very strange error and I'm completely mystified by it. Thank you so much for taking a look! I recently migrated some users from another dovecot server to my own, and the previous admin had the passwords in their database using the SSHA256 scheme in HEX format. All the password hashes are in my database (MySQL) with a {SSHA256.HEX} prefix, and I thought at first that they were working fine, but then I checked my logs and am seeing this: localhost dovecot: auth: Error: password(***(a)***.***): Unknown scheme SSHA256.HEX.b64 (I have replaced the email address with asterisks) I am completely flabbergasted, as I can't imagine how "SSHA256.HEX.b64" is even coming in to existence as a string. I have triple checked the database and that combination appears nowhere in it. Does anybody have any idea how that is happening? Thanks again. -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/Unknown-scheme-SSHA256-HEX-b64-tp50803… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

disabling certain ciphers
by Will Yardley 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Can you use both ssl_protocols *and* ssl_cipher_list in the same config (in a way that's sane)? ssl_protocols (>= 2.1) and ssl_cipher_list co-exist, or are they mutually exclusive? I have a Dovecot 2.2.13 system, and I tried setting: I also tried things like ssl_cipher_list = HIGH or ssl_cipher_list = HIGH:!MEDIUM:!LOW however, doing this seems to make v3 still work unless I explicitly do !SSLv3 in ssl_cipher_list in addition to disabling it in $ssl_protocols. This is different from Apache, which has similar parameters, but where disabling the protocol takes precedence. If I just do: ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 I still get some ciphers that show up as "weak", e.g., | SSLv3: | ciphers: | TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA - strong | TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA - strong | TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA - strong | TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA - weak [....] | TLS_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA - weak Is there a way to exclude these ciphers, while still keeping my config easy to parse and avoiding duplicative or deprecated configs? The behavior is also pretty strange; if I have something like one of the following, with or without $ssl_protocols set to exclude SSLv2 and SSLv3: ssl_cipher_list = HIGH:!MEDIUM:!LOW:!SSLv3 ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!ADH:!LOW:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!EXP:!aNULL:+HIGH:!MEDIUM TLS v1.0 and v1.1 get disabled as well. I also can't seem to explicitly enable TLS 1.0 or 1.1 in $ssl_cipher_list. w

Adding extra fields from an external source
by Ian Allison 02 Dec '14

02 Dec '14

Hi, I have an existing (Open)LDAP which I'm using with dovecot and I would like to implement quotas. I have global quotas working, but I would like per user quotas similar to what is described in the wiki (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration#LDAP) My problem is that there is no obvious attribute in the schemas shipped in the RHEL/Centos 6 to hold the quota string. Is it possible to get User database extra fields from an external source? e.g. flat file or MySQL table. I would like to pull everything else from LDAP but just fill out quota_rule from a different source. I realize I could expand my LDAP but I'm wary of just importing some random schema. I've had mixed results doing that in the past (the qmail schema (http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ape/qmail.html) was incompatible with my existing structure, and at the moment I'm using a hacked version of the linux quota project's LDAP schema (http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxquota/) - I'd rather have something a bit more official). If there is a recommended schema that you guys use which is stable and works well I would like to give that a try. -Thanks, Ian.

If I get a reproducer, I'll see if I can get core dumps. The user involved had several procmail processes hung waiting for the lockfile on this mbox. Killing sendmail & dovecot, the procmails & restarting sendmail & dovecot is all that I did after the errors. It is possible that the last message delivered prior to the errors was truncated ("note the input-eof" in the trace), but this shouldn't result in a panic. I'd expect a warning, then the message truncated to whatever is there, and operations proceeding... Also, it appears that make install doesn't remove the doveadm zlib plugin, which it seems was obsoleted by http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2012-October/021796.html.

v2.2.15 - make check - Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value
by AMM 01 Dec '14

01 Dec '14

Hello, I am currently using Dovecot 2.2.10 on Fedora 16 - 64 bit system I had made v2.2.10 Fedora 16 rpm file using spec file from ATrpms. http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot.spec It has been working well from 6 months or so. Today I tried to make v2.2.15 rpm using same spec file. But "make check" is giving following error: fatal_printf_format_fix .............................................. : ok 0 / 190 tests failed ==8834== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==8834== at 0x4F7FE99: __strspn_sse42 (in /lib64/libc-2.14.90.so) ==8834== by 0x10FCF1: test_ds_recurse (test-data-stack.c:123) ==8834== by 0x10FCC9: test_ds_recurse (test-data-stack.c:119) ==8834== by 0x10FCC9: test_ds_recurse (test-data-stack.c:119) ==8834== by 0x10FCC9: test_ds_recurse (test-data-stack.c:119) ==8834== by 0x10FCC9: test_ds_recurse (test-data-stack.c:119) ==8834== by 0x10FCC9: test_ds_recurse (test-data-stack.c:119) ==8834== by 0x10FCC9: test_ds_recurse (test-data-stack.c:119) ==8834== by 0x10FCC9: test_ds_recurse (test-data-stack.c:119) ==8834== by 0x10FCC9: test_ds_recurse (test-data-stack.c:119) ==8834== by 0x10FCC9: test_ds_recurse (test-data-stack.c:119) ==8834== by 0x10FCC9: test_ds_recurse (test-data-stack.c:119) ==8834== There are more similar errors after that and then rpmbuild aborts. I already saw that someone reported same error recently: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2014-October/098452.html But I do not know what is the right solution / patch? Can I disable "make check" safely? Its a production server so would not take any risk. Can anyone please tell what should I do? Thanks in advance. AMM

Unable to see virtual users

Hi all, I’m having issues getting Dovecot to work with AD on 2012 R2 in a test environment. Background: AD is running on dc1.ad.automaton.uk<http://dc1.ad.automaton.uk>, the domain is ad.automaton.uk<http://ad.automaton.uk>. The DNS server is running on ad.automaton.uk<http://ad.automaton.uk> and the automaton.uk<http://automaton.uk> DNS is set up correctly in the test environment in that everything resolves to the correct IP address and I can authenticate with whichever LDAP clients (ldapsearch, ApacheDS, sssd). It refuses to bind on Dovecot for some reason. aaron@mail:/var/log$ uname -a Linux mail.ad.automaton.uk 3.16.0-23-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 21 17:56:17 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux aaron@mail:/var/log$ dovecot --version 2.2.9 aaron@mail:/var/log$ dpkg -l | grep dovecot ii dovecot-core 1:2.2.9-1ubuntu5 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - core files ii dovecot-gssapi 1:2.2.9-1ubuntu5 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - GSSAPI support ii dovecot-imapd 1:2.2.9-1ubuntu5 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - IMAP daemon ii dovecot-ldap 1:2.2.9-1ubuntu5 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - LDAP support aaron@mail:/var/log/$ cat dovecot-debug.log … Nov 19 09:22:23 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=10345) Nov 19 09:22:23 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured session=pkJxdDkISwAK0zcd lip=10.211.55.33 rip=10.211.55.29lport=993 rport=56395 Nov 19 09:22:23 auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 1 Nov 19 09:22:23 auth: Debug: client in: CONT 1 (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data) Nov 19 09:22:29 auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 1 user=aaron.jenkins temp Nov 19 09:22:29 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 2 PLAIN service=imap secured session=pkJxdDkISwAK0zcd lip=10.211.55.33 rip=10.211.55.29lport=993 rport=56395 resp= (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data) Nov 19 09:22:39 auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 2 user=aaron.jenkins temp Nov 19 09:22:40 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 3 PLAIN service=imap secured session=pkJxdDkISwAK0zcd lip=10.211.55.33 rip=10.211.55.29lport=993 rport=56395 Nov 19 09:22:44 auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT 3 Nov 19 09:22:44 auth: Debug: client in: CONT 3 (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data) Nov 19 09:22:50 auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 3 user=aaron.jenkins temp Nov 19 09:22:50 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 4 PLAIN service=imap secured session=pkJxdDkISwAK0zcd lip=10.211.55.33 rip=10.211.55.29lport=993 rport=56395 resp= (previous base64 data may contain sensitive data) Nov 19 09:22:56 auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 4 user=aaron.jenkins temp (I’ve removed the base64 as it might contain passwords I actually use, if it’s important I’ll re-run it with a different password unredacted) Do you guys have any ideas on how to get it working with 2012 R2?

how to start a replication master-master correctly
by Eduardo Casarero 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

Hi all, I currently have one dovecot 2.2.15 working and I would like to add a second master server. If I configure the second server and enable the dsync in both servers, the sync will copy everything from A to B ? I mean, B server won't remove messages in A as it doesn't have anything in its users mailbox? The second master server will be a cold server just for contingency. Thanks

Move mail behavior
by Martin Stigge 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Hi! I've recently migrated my IMAP mail setup from a server running an older Debian Squeeze with dovecot 1.2.15 to a new Debian Jessie system with dovecot 2.2.13. In the old setup, it used to be so that a mail moved from a folder to another one was marked as deleted in the originating folder (in dovecot 1.2.15). In the new setup, the mail just disappears from the originating folder (with dovecot 2.2.13). The mail arrives properly in the target folder, so that's fine. But I actually liked the old behavior. I observe this with Evolution as well as Icedove (Thunderbird) mail clients, which is why I assume that it's actually a change in the IMAP server behavior. Is it supposed to behave like that? Is there a way to configure this? Regards, Martin

2.2.15: SMTP submission server?
by Ron Leach 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

List, we're migrating to 2.2 from a 1.x version. There has been mention from time to time of a dovecot SMTP submission server. Last I saw was Timo suggesting this would be a 2.3 feature, but that there was already a 'basic' capability in 2.2 that, more or less, merely provided a secured/authorised SMTP submission. I haven't found anything about this in the wiki, but the feature is of interest to us. I would like to *not* have our MTA capable of being exploited as a relay (it isn't, at the moment) whereas users are logging into our dovecot from offsite using imaps with passwords. While moving to 2.2, I'd like to try to use a secure SMTP submission *separate* from the MTA so that that software, with whatever vulnerabilities or weaknesses it might have, remained locked down and could not relay, if at all possible. (Imaps with passwords means the login details are not transmitted in cleartext and, so, leak no security to an observer of the communications channel. Doubtless there are other weaknesses somewhere but, at least, when using hotel wifi, for example, there is little chance of revealing login details to a packet sniffer. It won't be perfect, there are probably other vulnerabilities, not least in the underlying OSs at each end, but the connection - which is a serious vulnerability in many places - will be as good as is practical to make it.) So, is there some kind of SMTP submission service for a logged in dovecot user, and how would a client make use of that? Is it possible to setup 2.2.15 for this? And, crucially, would the connections between the client (eg at a hotel in some unreliable location) be encrypted right from the start, not using STARTTLS, as is the case in imaps? And, just to be really demanding, could we configure its use on a non-standard port? regards, Ron

2.2.15 Panic in mbox_sync_read_next_mail()
by Hans Morten Kind 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

It might not be a fault in dovecot, as the user is accessing the folder locally with alpine while also running imap-sessions. However it would have been nice with a more graceful action than panic? The panic is preceeded by Error: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file PATH Panic: file mbox-sync.c: line 152 (mbox_sync_read_next_mail): assertion failed: (sync_ctx->input->v_offset != mail_ctx->mail.from_offset || sync_ctx->input->eof) At #7 in the enclosed backtrace the actual values are sync_ctx->input->v_offset = 564 mail_ctx->mail.from_offset = 564 sync_ctx->input->eof = 0 Some will recommend convertion to maildir, but with 25 years history, thousands of active users and dozens terrabytes of mboxes, we are not even considering it. hmk GNU gdb 6.8 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Pigeonhole, vacation being sent incorrectly
by Harry Mills 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

Hi, I have an issue with a vacation message in a sieve script. I can't see an error in the script itself. Pigeonhole version: 0.4.2-32 Dovecot Version: 2.2.10 The script was created by Ingo (part of the Horde suite), but I think the script is fine. The problem is that when a message is sent to the "everyone" group (and alias for every person in the organisation), vacation messages are being sent back which I believe is an error. The script is: =============================================== # Sieve Filter # Generated by Ingo (http://www.horde.org/apps/ingo/) (11/11/14, 5:20:06 pm GMT) require ["vacation", "regex", "fileinto"]; # Vacation if allof ( not exists "list-help", not exists "list-unsubscribe", not exists "list-subscribe", not exists "list-owner", not exists "list-post", not exists "list-archive", not exists "list-id", not exists "Mailing-List", not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :is "Precedence" ["list", "bulk", "junk"], not header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :matches "To" "Multiple recipients of*" ) { if header :regex "Received" "^.*(2014) (\$.*\$ )?..:..:..

I cannot see the address for "user2(a)example.com" in any of those fields, or indeed referenced anywhere in the email. Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding something?

imap-login segfaults when using post-login
by Nico Rittner 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

hello, i get these lines in syslog when using post-login within imap-login: imap-login: Fatal: master: service(imap-login): child 574 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) imap[5523]: segfault at 14 ip b7556276 sp bfc1c940 error 4 in libdovecot.so.0.0.0[b7529000+d4000] these are the relevant sections i added: service imap-login { executable = imap post-login } service post-login { executable = script-login /path/to/exec } i also used /bin/true as /path/to/exec to exclude the used exec itself as the reason. same result. version is 2.2.13 on gentoo-linux. i wonder if this error is gentoo-specific (cflags/etc...) or a bug in dovecot. this behaviour can be reproduced on two other of my gentoo-machines. same configuration worked in previous versions, don't know the exact version number. thanks a lot for your suggestions. i'll also cc to the gentoo-people. nico

slow incremental indexing of maildirs with squat
by vitalif＠yourcmc.ru 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

Hi! I'm using Dovecot 2.1.7 on Debian Wheezy 32-bit (package version is 1:2.1.7-7+deb7u1) with maildirs. My problem is that the incremental indexing of maildirs with squat takes a very long time... I don't know if it reindexes anything, but it seems it iterates though all messages on each search query and reads them. It works fast only on successive queries within several minutes, probably because of the messages being in cache. What do you think, is it a bug? -- With best regards, Vitaliy Filippov

Shared mailboxes using SQL
by Daniel Miller 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

I recently tried to change from the simple file to a SQL dictionary for ACL. While the Wiki instructions seemed fairly clear I was having errors. After some further digging, and a little thinking - I read the errors and tried to infer what was happening. I have some IMAP groups configured for sharing. And I guessed the example dictionary didn't allow for them. Looking at my existing shared-mailboxes.db flat file I saw something that gave me a clue. So I added the following: map { pattern = shared/shared-boxes/group/$to/$from table = user_shares value_field = dummy fields { from_user = $from to_user = $to } } And things started working again! A suggestion that perhaps this be added to the wiki - possibly with a bit more information on the "map" sections. Also - would there be any benefit to setting up a separate SQL table for groups? -- Daniel

v2.2.14 released
by Timo Sirainen 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.14.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.14.tar.gz.sig Looks like it took a bit longer to make this release after RC1 than I thought. I'm now in San Jose area for a few months and still jumping between apartments and trying to adjust to the new timezone. Some of the more important fixes since RC1: - Fixed several race conditions with dovecot.index.cache handling that may have caused unnecessary "cache is corrupted" errors. - auth: If auth client listed userdb and disconnected before finishing, the auth worker process got stuck (and eventually all workers could get used up and requests would start failing). Some of the larger changes since v2.2.13: * lmtp: Delivered-To: header no longer contains <> around the email address. Other MDAs don't have it either. * "Out of disk space" errors are now treated as temporary errors (not the same as "Out of disk quota"). * replication plugin: Use replication only for users who have a non-empty mail_replica setting. + lmtp proxy: Log a line about each mail delivery. + Added login_source_ips setting. This can be used to set the source IP address round-robin from a pool of IPs (in case you run out of TCP ports). + Rawlog settings can use tcp:<host>:<port> as the path. + virtual plugin: Don't keep more than virtual_max_open_mailboxes (default 64) number of backend mailboxes open. + SSL/TLS compression can be disabled with ssl_options=no_compression + acl: Global ACL file now supports "quotes" around patterns. + Added last-login plugin to set user's last-login timestamp on login. + LDAP auth: Allow passdb credentials lookup also with auth_bind=yes - IMAP: MODSEQ was sent in FETCH reply even if CONDSTORE/QRESYNC wasn't enabled. This broke at least old Outlooks. - passdb static treated missing password field the same as an empty password field. - mdbox: Fixed potential infinite looping when scanning a broken mdbox file. - imap-login, pop3-login: Fixed potential crashes when client disconnected unexpectedly. - imap proxy: The connection was hanging in some usage patterns. This mainly affected older Outlooks. - lmtp proxy: The proxy sometimes delivered empty mails in error situations or potentially delivered truncated mails. - fts-lucene: If whitespace_chars was set, we may have ended up indexing some garbage words, growing the index size unnecessarily. - -c and -i parameters for dovecot/doveadm commands were ignored if the config socket was readable. - quota: Quota recalculation didn't include INBOX in some setups. - Mail headers were sometimes added to dovecot.index.cache in wrong order. The main problem this caused was with dsync+imapc incremental syncing when the second sync thought the local mailbox had changed. - doveadm backup didn't notice if emails were missing from the middle of the destination mailbox. Now it deletes and resyncs the mailbox.

Possible to adjust username used to determine the proxy destination?
by Andy Dills 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

I'm in a fairly standard cluster environment: shared storage, bunch of servers each acting as both proxies and backends. We do /bin/checkpassword authentication, allowing a great deal of flexibility...protection against brute force, billing mechanisms, but relevant to this issue, I have it set up to allow users to login with either their username (if they are in one of our default domains) or their email address. I'm realizing now that as a consequence of this, "joe" and "joe(a)xecu.net" are unique as far as dovecot is concerned. Users who login with just their username (and not the full email address) can get assigned to a different backend server than when they login with the full email address (which would also include LMTP deliveries). This has been happening for years, a few broken indexes here and there that seem to resolve themselves, so it hasn't been impacting the service, but I'd like to correct it properly. Is there a way to manipulate this? For example, if I moved the authentication to the proxy layer (it's currently proxy=y nopassword=y), and set $ENV{USER} to the full email address, will director use that for selection instead of the user-supplied username? I'm open to suggestions on how best to accomplish this. Thanks, Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---

doveadm backup for all users to file system
by Jeff Larsen 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

The wiki says that doveadm backup supports the -A option for all users, but when I specify a file-system destination (like /tmp, or an NFS mounted folder), it just rewrites each user backup to the same location overwriting the previous user's content. You end up with just the content for the last user processed. I tried the typical %u substitution but that just created folder named '%u' and had the same overwrite problem. My userdb is LDAP which works just fine for other doveadm commands. The verbose/debug output from doveadm backup shows that it is processing every user. Example: doveadm -vD backup -A sdbox:/tmp/backup My understanding is that "doveadm backup" is just a front-end for dsync. The dsync manpage on the other hand says "dsync can currently sync only one user at a time. If you want to dsync all users, you'll need to get a list of all users and execute dsync separately..." It appears that "doveadm backup -A" is doing the iteration for me, but it's not generating individual destination paths for each user. So, is this is a documentation problem for "doveadm backup"? Or am I missing something here? Is there some secret sauce for "doveadm backup -A" that I'm not finding? If all else fails, I know I can write a script to iterate over the available users and run the backup repeatedly, but I would like to keep this as simple as possible. Thanks, Jeff

Outlook 2010 not connecting to secure POP3
by Robert Moskowitz 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

OK, I did not know that this user has a new computer with Outlook 2010. This SHOULD make it easier but... I have the computer right next to me, they brought it over. It is on the same LAN as this notebook. I can access my server with: openssl s_client -connect z9m9z.htt-consult.com:995 And then log the user in with the appropriate POP3 credentials. In Outlook 2010, in Advanced settings I have specified "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)" and it switches to port 995 (from 110). I try connecting and I get an error that "Your server does notg support the connection encryption type you have specified." The first time we tried this it installed my self-signed cert in the local cert store. Any idea on what is going on or how to get this working?

Strange repplication issues
by Bertrand Caplet 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Hi, I know there are lots of questions about replication, but I searched and didn't find my question. I've got some problems with syncing. I've got 2 servers: A and B When a email arrives on server A sometimes it's not syncing in server B I think server A doesn't always notify server B there are new mails to sync. But I don't know how to fix it. And I spotted something, when it isn't syncing. The only thing to do is to send local or remote mail to server B and then it sync or do a "doveadm sync -A tcp:serverB.example:port" of course. My doveconf -n of the two servers are in attachements bellow. By the way both of my dovecot servers are v2.2.9 P.S.: I didn't test from server B to A but I think it's the same problem.

Migrate Separator and prefix
by Hanns Mattes 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Hi, I'm thinking of changing the separator form "." to "/" and also to allow only folders under INBOX, changing the Prefix. I have to dovecot-servers, which are synched by the replication plugin. My idea is to switch off Server B, make the necessary config-changes, delete all user maildirs, restart the server an let replication do it's work. After that (and correcting the sieve-rules of the users if necessary), I'd stop server A, delete, restart, resync. My idea is, that this will avoid dealing with subscriptions files and change them to reflect the new INBOX-Structure. Is this going to work at all and/or is there a better way for the wanted migration? Thanks in advance Hanns

Prevent a message from be deleted but not from be moved
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Is it possible to prevent a message from be deleted but not from be moved to another mailbox via ACL? I need this because I'm using antispam plugin with the mailtrain backend. It calls a script every time a message is moved to/from a monitored spam mailbox. But, if the user deletes a message from the spam folder, the script is executed with the option to train the antispam to consider that excluded message as a non spam. So, what I need is to prevent the user from delete a message from the spam mailbox, but I want to permit the user to move a menssage from the spam mailbox to another mailbox. -- Att.
