All, Just move our mail servers over to a new mail server running postfix 2.11.1 and dovecot 2.2.13 and getting the subject line errors in my /var/adm/files. People are complaining of loosing their connections to the mail server. I've been able to google this error but haven't found fix for this yet. NOt sure where to put the drop-priv option in the config files either. Any suggestions?

Changed IMAP MOVE behavior in Dovecot 2.2.x
by Iavor Stoev 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hello, After the migration to Dovecot 2.2.13 from Dovecot 2.1.17, I noticed a changed behavior when I move a message from one folder to another. I use Thunderbird with: Account Settings -> Server Settings -> When I delete a message: Just mark it as deleted. I use Thunderbird 24.6.0 with IMAP. With Dovecot 2.1.x when I move a message, the message appears in the new folder and is marked for deletion in the original folder (which gives me an easy option to undo the action if I made a mistake until I choose to Compact/Purge the folder). With Dovecot 2.2.x when I move the a message it is marked for deletion and is AUTO Compacted/Purged immediately. Is there a way to achieve the 2.1.x behavior with Dovecot 2.2.x? Thank you Iavor

Integrity check of mailboxes before dsync
by Murray Trainer 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hi All, I am migrating a large number of Dovecot mailboxes - some of them are quite old. I hit an issue yesterday with a corrupt file (index?) that was preventing the mailbox from being synced properly As soon as I removed the file the dsync worked. Is there a way to check the integrity of each mailbox / indexes before I dsync it? Thanks Murray

director / main instance
by Will Yardley 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

I have directors and backend servers running on the same systems (x3). To be able to run doveadm foo with a minimum of fuss (without having to list socket paths explicitly), should it be the director that's the "default"? If so, is it safe to symlink '/var/run/dovecot' to '/var/run/dovecot-director', or should I just make the director's base path /var/run/dovecot directly? in dovecot-director.conf, I have: service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 8889 } } local 192.168.x.0/24 { doveadm_password = Foo } doveadm_proxy_port = 8888 and in dovecot-main.conf, I have: service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 8888 } } local 192.168.x.0/24 { doveadm_password = Foo } protocol doveadm { auth_socket_path = director-userdb } Is this correct (and is there anything unneeded / redundant there)? # dovecot instance list path name last used running /var/run/dovecot-director director 2014-07-14 20:36:49 yes /var/run/dovecot-main main 2014-07-14 20:36:49 yes # dovecot director status mail server ip vhosts users 192.168.x.xx 100 2 192.168.x.xx 100 0 192.168.x.xx 100 0

Transition from one server to another.
by Anders Wegge Keller 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

A frind of mine and I are running a dedicated server, that among other things host mail for ourselves and friends and families. All in all about 15 different domains with 35-40 users. The machine in question is old, so we are doing a slow transition from the old server to the new one. So far, we've managed to move web hosts seamlessly. Due to the technical capabilities at some of the user base, it would be nice to get to a setup, where we can move individual users imaps from the old server to the new one, as we get the time to visit them. I have an idea how such a transition could go: 1. Upgrade the old dovecot 1.2.15 to 2.1.whateveritis from debian squeeze backports. 2. Set dsync up to replicate mails from the old server to the new server. I know that 2.2 is recommended, but with a limited amount of user, I'm willing to take a performance hit. 3. Migrate my parents &c to use the new server. 4. When all users have been moved on to using the new server, upgrade MX records for the domain to point at the new server. 5. When all MX records are updated, decalre success. Is this feasible, and what would the risks be. For instance, during step 4, mails are bound to arrive at bothe the old and new server for some time. Will this cause problems? Is there a simpler solution to the problem? -- /Wegge Leder efter redundant peering af dk.*,linux.debian.*

Have you tried: 10-master.conf service imap { drop_priv_before_exec=yes } as suggested by the error?

protocol specific AuthDatabase Queries
by claus 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

Hi, i have to configure different sql-queries for protocol lmtp, another for protocol smtp and one query for other protocols. I have configured in "/etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-sql.conf.ext" one entry for all protocols and 2 protocol specific entries: protocol lmtp { passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-lmtp-sql.conf.ext } } protocol smtp { passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-smtp-sql.conf.ext } } passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } is this correct or do i have to configure all possible protocols seperately? First i had a working configuration for all protocols except for lmtp (but now i need additionally a special query for smtp): protocol !lmtp { .. } protocol lmtp { .. } Can you tell me whats the prefered configuration? Thanks Claus

doveadm dump ignores .pvt
by Thomas Herrmann 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

While debugging a different problem, I used "doveadm dump" to show information about a maildir folder; it happily reported values from dovecot.index and dovecot.index.log (confirmed by strace): [...] messages count ........... = 978 seen messages count ...... = 967 [...] However, mail clients reported different values, I guess because the Seen flags were actually stored in the dovecot.index.pvt.log files. Is this a known problem or a result of my (maybe unsupported?) setup? My public maildir folder contains only links to mailboxes of the private maildir of the mail admin, i.e.: /home/vmail/public/.Info -> ../adwin.de/mail-admin/Maildir/.Info namespace { list = children location = maildir:/home/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=/home/vmail/adwin.de/%n/public prefix = ADwin/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } My setups leads to .pvt-files in the public namespace, could this be a problem? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Symlinks explicitly states that symlinking _should_ work. Using version 2.2.13 (debian packages). Regards, Thomas

Flags in public folders disappear when more than 25 flags are used
by Thomas Herrmann 14 Jul '14

14 Jul '14

Hello, I have been using flags in public folders for quite a while with no problems. Once the flags were added to all clients (Thunderbird), they were visible and synchronized properly. Now I have added some new flags, and in the dovecot-keywords files I see that I am now using more than 25 flags (in which case they are not stored using an additional letter in the filename). Now I see that newly added flags are only visible in the client for a short time and then suddenly disappear. How can I debug this, or what may be a reason for this?

High user number tune
by Edwardo Garcia 13 Jul '14

13 Jul '14

Halo, This might seem like another indirect thread. I Monday started new job, first task must replace courier. The job use POP3. and IMAP only for webmail, but must server support 4K POP3 at one times. I see from similar thread current settings not adequate , we will use TLS and if wiki read right Iprotocol So am close in think that need ? service pop3-login { process_limit = 4096 } service pop3 { process_limit = 4096 } service imap-login { process_limit = 2048 } service imap { process_limit = 2048 } then we have service managesieve { process_limit = 1024 } is that all we need change? I see in other thread someone says service anvil but I can not find out about it, does need change as well ? Why is it so complicated to change to let more user on, most other change one setting, dovecot want dozen :(

Pigeonhole sieve misfile
by Patrick Domack 13 Jul '14

13 Jul '14

I'm having an issue with sieve putting some emails into the spam folder, that should not be matching the spam rule. I tried looking but can't seem to find a debug option. Is there any way I can get a log of what the sieve rule path that matches so I can locate the misfiring rule? or maybe something else that is going on. I already checked the dovecot sieve log file, and there is nothing in there.

macros
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 13 Jul '14

13 Jul '14

Does dovecot support any form of macros? I would like to share configuration file between several servers. Configs are different only in tiny aspects. Somethine like: dovecot-server.conf (different on each server): %define ID 55 %define SOMETHING SELECT FROM * WHERE something %define MECHANISMS digest-md5 dovecot-main.conf (common, shared config) !include dovecot-server.conf user_query = ${SOMETHING} AND id=${ID} auth_mechanisms = plain login ${MECHANISMS} etc -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / maven.pl

Replication on dovecot 2.0
by Tom Barber(Alabs) 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

Hi Guys I'm running an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server and not being particually inclined to upgrade I'm wondering what options I have for replication as it appears to be running dovecot 2.0.19. I saw the wiki page about replication and whilst it says you should use 2.2+ it doesn't say what the minimum requirements are, so I tried doing what it says but I get: Fatal: Plugin 'replication' not found from directory /usr/lib/dovecot/modules Any ideas or tips. Thanks Tom

1.2.4 disk full errors
by Iain Hallam 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

Hi. A user on a rather old mail system we have filled their disk space, and Dovecot has started to give lots of errors in the logs about "Expunged message reappeared" and "Duplicate file entry". The user can only see a few new messages, not the 33,551 in their inbox. In the TODO file in the current source code[1], Timo notes that (line 147): maildir: out-of-disk-space failures apparently cause all kinds of problems, e.g. "Expunged message reappeared", "Duplicate file entry"? [1] http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/file/c55c660d6e9d/TODO Does anyone know what's happening with Dovecot here and how to recover so that this user can see mail again? Unforuntately we're on a very old version, 1.2.4. Though there is a plan for migrating to a newer platform, I need to get this user accessing email again rather more urgently. Thanks, Iain Hallam.

Trigger for using an sqlite dictionary for quota
by David Anderson 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.0.9, and was trying to set up a dictionary process to use an sqlite database for quota management. The wiki page has examples for MySQL and PostgreSQL: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict For sqlite, a trigger needs to be created to get it to work. But I was not sufficiently skilled in sqlite to adapt the PostgreSQL trigger (given on the above URL) for use. Nor did Googling find any example of anyone else who had done it. Does anyone here have an example, or the ability? (Through Googling I found an example trigger for using sqlite with expiries - but I was looking at quotas).

HIGHESTMODSEQ tracking
by Kostya Vasilyev 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Hello, I'd like to follow up on someone else's old thread: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-April/082624.html I understand that Dovecot (that 2012 discussion was about version 2.0.18) can return "HIGHESTMODSEQ 1" upon SELECT if persistent modseq tracking was never enabled for a mailbox. I'd like to get a clarification on how to enable proper persistent modseq tracking. Per RFC 4551, "A client supporting CONDSTORE.... indicates its willingness to receive mod-sequence updates... by issuing:" SELECT mailbox (CONDSTORE) STATUS (... HIGHESTMODSEQ ...) ... others ... It seems that Dovecot 2.1.7 (Debian 7.5) enables persistent modseq tracking after one of the above two commands (and maybe others). So far so good. So my questions are: 1 - Is this (enabling persistent modseq) also the case for all Dovecot versions prior to 2.1.7 that advertise CONDSTORE? There must be people running older versions out there, older than 2.1.7. If not, how can I branch my logic to not use HIGHESTMODSEQ, given that Dovecot doesn't appear to return any version info via its greeting or via the ID command? 2 - Is persistent modseq tracking (assuming it's been enabled) available for all types of backend mailbox formats that Dovecot might be using? To be more specific, can it ever be the case that Dovecot appears to enable modseq tracking, returning nice looking HIGHESTMODSEQ values from SELECT / STATUS, but the actual values get reset or not get updated because they're not properly persistent? I'm excluding changes to UIDVALIDITY here, obviously when that changes, the entire mailbox state must be assumed to have changed completely. 3 - I guess the change to return NOMOSEQ instead of "1" for mailboxes with modseq tracking disabled, as mentioned in that discussion from 2012, never happened? At least on the 2.1 branch? Thanks, -- K

Multiple email clients not in sync
by Marc Perkel 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is an issue with dovecot or my various email clients, or my settings. I'm running 2.2.13 and I have Thunderbird on my desktop and K@mail on my android phone. In theory if I delete email on one it should delete it on the other. It does delete it on the server - but the other client isn't always "aware" of it. Same thing sometimes with read messages. I read on one device but the other didn't know it's read unless I shut down and restart the app. Not knowing the details of how this all works I'm assuming there is some form of notification that goes on in the background so as to let other clients know what other clients do so they can sync up. And that where my setup isn't working consistently. Maybe my expectations are just too high? Maybe I don't have things set up correctly? What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Problem with virtual mailbox when using K9 mail (android)
by Henrik Kjölhede 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hi! I've managed to setup a virtual mailbox that shows all unread or flagged mail from a selection of IMAP folders. This works great with Roundcube, which I use as webmail client. However, using K9 mail on my android phone, a mail that is opened seems to be immediately marked as read, and any flagging I do doesn't take. Presumably this is because it can't be reached any longer in the virtual folder. I tried adding the recent flag to the virtual search line, but that doesn't make any difference. I haven't been able to locate any information about anyone else experiencing this problem, so I was hoping that someone here could help. I realise that this is not exactly a "dovecot problem", but perhaps someone here has found a solution that they are willing to share. The search line in dovecot-virtual is currently "OR RECENT (OR UNSEEN FLAGGED). Regards

Limit confusion
by Micah Anderson 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hi, On one of my dovecot servers, i've got a limit problem... and I'm a little confused about which knobs I should adjust to solve it. I've been getting both of these: Error: net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable - http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SocketUnavailableess This one caused me to go read that wiki page, but none of those seem to apply to me: . i'm running 2.2.9 . i dont have service imap { client_limit }, although I do have service auth ( client_limit = 1024 } . my dovecot/auth process shows: dovecot/auth [91 wait, 0 passdb, 0 userdb] . it doesn't appear the master process is using very much cpu (in fact the system is mostly low load in general) .

Dovecot ignores existing mailboxes and creates its own
by Martin Vegter 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hello, I have Postfix with Maildir format. User's emails are being delivered into $HOME/mail/inbox Apart from ~/mail/inbox, there are the usual folders: $HOME/mail/archive $HOME/mail/drafts $HOME/mail/inbox $HOME/mail/trash Now I have installed dovecot, and set mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs additionally, I have defined mailboxes as follows: namespace inbox { mailbox drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox trash { special_use = \Trash } } The problem I am having is following: 1) dovecot ignores the folders (drafts, sent, trash) and creates its own folders begining with capiotal letter: Drafts Sent Trash 2) dovecot ignores ~/mail/inbox and instead creates ~/mail/cur ~/mail/new ~/mail/tmp can somebody please advise how to tell dovecot, to use my existing folder structure, ie: ~/mail/inbox/{cur,new,tmp} ~/mail/drafts/{cur,new,tmp} ~/mail/sent/{cur,new,tmp} ~/mail/trash/{cur,new,tmp} any advice would be much appreciated thanks, Martin

Dovecot not changing SSL key and certificate as in config file
by Mitchell McMillan 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

I am trying to use my (decrypted) SSL key and certificate in Dovecot. I have changed /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf like so: ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/private/ssl-chain-mail-mydomain.com.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/ssl-key-decrypted-mail-mydomain.com.key However, after running service dovecot restart, dovecot -n still says that the files /etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem and /etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem are being used. I am using dovecot 2.2.9, any help would be greatly appreciated.

doveadm quota recalc -A
by ML mail 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Hello, It looks like my iteration SQL query (iterate_query) does not work as when I try to run "doveadm quota recalc -A" I get the following error: $ sudo -u vmail doveadm quota recalc -A doveadm(nobody): Error: user nobody: Mail access for users with UID 65534 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup). doveadm(nobody): Error: User init failed My iterate_query is quite simple: iterate_query = SELECT username FROM mailbox So from the output I really don't understand why it looks up the user "nobody". I don't have any user "nobody" in my mailbox SQL table. Anyone has an idea? Regards ML

Redis sentinel support in dict
by Lazy 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

Redis sentinel ( http://redis.io/topics/sentinel ) is a service that monitors and manages redis master slave replication. Using sentinel you can easily create a redis ha cluster. You can connect to a sentiniel and subscribe to certain events then in case of an failover update the redis address to new master etc. I think this is better suited to be used with dict proxy. Do You think it can be implemented without changes to dovecot core ? -- Michal Grzedzicki

dovecot 2.2.13 core dump (signal 11)
by Tom Lieuallen 08 Jul '14

We just upgraded from 2.1.16 to 2.2.13. One user is experiencing problems when using the shared namespace. Specifically it happens when opening/reading a message and when deleting messages. These functions work for other users. So far, this appears to be only affecting one user.

Multiple Instances with Director
by Cassidy Larson 08 Jul '14

08 Jul '14

I have four front end servers with two backend servers. Each front end server has three instances for different mail hosts (individual SSL certs, etc). I'm looking at adding a fourth instance on each front end server for the director process. Currently we just return the backend server ip via SQL and use the old master username/password to proxy the inbound POP/IMAP sessions to the correct backend server. The plan is for each instance to have connect to the same list of director_servers (one from each front end server). What's the trick to separate a director instance into its own setup and having multiple instances/servers connect to that director? Currently I have on my proxy instance: director_servers = 10.128.1.42:9090 (this is the inet_listener from the director instance) service director { unix_listener login/director { mode = 0666 } fifo_listener login/proxy-notify { mode = 0600 user = $default_login_user } unix_listener director-userdb { mode = 0600 } } And I get in logs: director: Fatal: No inet_listeners defined for director service (for standalone keep director_servers empty) Do I need an inet_listener on the front end instance if I want to forward all director queries to the director_servers list? Or is there some other trick to get a proxy front end to talk to a separate director instance(s)? Thanks, Cassidy

question on lmtp logged message
by Leonardo Rodrigues 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Hi, I have dovecot running for IMAP4/POP3 and also local delivery through LMTP. It's working just fine, absolutely no problem on that, setup is fine. Anyway, sometimes LMTP seems to not be able to deliver some messages and keep them on postfixqueue. And on the next or third try, the message gets delivered successfully. The logged message, however, is not helping me identify what is happening.Example: (error - message was expunged) Jun 25 11:49:39 correio postfix/lmtp[21835]: ADB0A1AC05108: to=<vanilson.parreira(a)domain.com.br>, relay=correio.domain.com.br[private/dovecot-lmtp], conn_use=6, delay=13, delays=0.07/0/0/13, dsn=4.2.0, status=deferred (host correio.domain.com.br[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.2.0 <vanilson.parreira(a)domain.com.br> Message was expunged (received-date) (in reply to end of DATA command)) (successfull delivery) Jun 25 12:34:42 correio postfix/lmtp[6411]: ADB0A1AC05108: to=<vanilson.parreira(a)domain.com.br>, relay=correio.domain.com.br[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=2716, delays=2714/0/0/2.3, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 <vanilson.parreira(a)domain.com.br> U7pOLAHsqlPvMgAAHvf8vg Saved) During these two log entries, absolutely nothing was changed, no configuration, absolutely nothing. Everything is local, i mean, no NFS involved. So, finally, question is: what does the 'message was expunged' message given from LMTP means ??? This is happening quite often but, as i mentionted, sooner or later all messages are getting delivered. It's working despite the delay this is causing.

dbox alternate storage and samba
by Francesco 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Hello everyone, i was just wondering if it's possible to use a samba share as an alternate storage for dbox format. I tried creating a samba share, but when i try to move the email to the alternate storage using doveadm altmove, no errors are printed but no mails are moved. Everything works if the alternate storage is simply another directory on the server hard drive. am i mssing something? thanks in advance.

rmdir() EBUSY warnings on 2.2.12
by Giel van Schijndel 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Hi, I'm getting a lot of syslog spam on FreeBSD 10 from nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir where, apparently it tries to rmdir() the mountpoint of my mail storage. > Jul 4 00:04:44 mailhost dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail/vhosts/example.com) failed: Device busy We're using ZFS and have /var, /var/mail, /var/mail/vhosts, /var/mail/vhosts/example.com and /var/mail/vhosts/example.com/user as separate ZFS datasets (to enable per-user and per-domain snapshotting). So apart from NFS flushing being unnecessary (ZFS != NFS) I'm not really sure why using rmdir() for another directory than the Maildir specified in mail_location is a good idea. I.e. given that Maildirs shouldn't ever be emtpy (cur,new,tmp) anyway. -- Met vriendelijke groet, With kind regards, Giel van Schijndel -- > A programmer started to cuss > Because getting to sleep was a fuss > As he lay there in bed Looping 'round in his head > was: while(!asleep()) sheep++; > -- piercings -- http://bash.org/?845468

by wuwei 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

hello everybody: I'm using dovecot with pigeonhole sieve Plugin.everything goes well.but when i use vacation module,i found a problem: I write a sieve with a vacation module in, and put it to the sieve location ,used *PUTSCRIPT* comand with *ManageSieve* and *set it ACTIVE*.It's work!I use A email send mail to him and receive an auto-reply.then ,I modify the sieve only change the days num from 7 to 1.Then I use B email send mail to him and receive an auto-reply too. The next day,I send two mails too.But only B receive the auto-reply.I thought that I would receive two mails too. so i think that A email's data in sieve maybe still 7 days.Then I restart the dovecot,but the problem still exsit. Is anyone know how to refresh the data or is their anyother way to solve the problem? thank you! -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/help-how-to-refresh-pigeonhole-sieve-v… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

If like from Nick Edwards suggested a imapproxy is used it will. imapproxy is keeping the connection open. doveadm who will give you a list of all actual logged in users. Without imapproxy you are right: Every page reload will cause a login and a logoff. I get some webmail users by "accident". To get an overview how many users used roudcube within a period check the database table users/last_login. Andreas

Disable user login for a few seconds ?
by Florent B 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

Hi all, I need to move e-mail files of my users from one file system to another. I use a MySQL backend on Dovecot 2.1. How can I do to disable temporary an account while moving files ? I have an "active" bit in my DB, but if I set it to 0, my MX servers are bouncing mails. How can I do to disable temporary an account ? In fact, I need dovecot not to do any change on files... I think I could change account password for a while, and reset it after migration, but it will disturb connected users. Maybe I could chmod 0 files on my old file system during migration ? How Dovecot will act ? Thank you :) Flo

Shared Mailbox + LDAP Easy with this script
by Allan Cassaro 05 Jul '14

05 Jul '14

Hello guys, After some hours fighting with shared mailbox, I finally understand how it works - and, realy, I can't believe how easy it is! So, to help others like me and to improve the shared mailbox with Dovecot this script does all the "hard work". I don't know if this group permit attachments, so, let's the link: https://sites.google.com/site/allancassaro/mkshared.tar.gz Enjoy! ===== From README file ===== This is a simple code to help with Dovecot Public Shared Mailbox function. Just configure a public shared mailbox with ACLs, change the configuration file and run this program. How it works: 1) The program connect to the LDAP server and fetch groups from it (with ldap filter) 2) With groups, it fetches the members and owners (or any attribute you want); 3) It will walk into the "shared folder" folder base directory and: 3.1) Rename any directory that was renamed in LDAP (based on entryUUID ldap attribute); 3.2) Create diretories and skeletion (new, cur and tmp) of any group that exists in LDAP; 3.3) Optionaly, remove any "orphan" directory (wihtout a ldap entrey); Example: dn: cn=Everyone,ou=Shared_Mailbox, dc=example,dc=com objectClass: labeledURIObject objectClass: top objectClass: groupOfURLs cn: Everyone labeledURI: ldap:///ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com?uid?one?(objectClass=person) member: uid=user2,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com member: uid=user3,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com member: uid=user1,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com member: uid=user.surname,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com owner: uid=user4,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com This will create a folder tree like this: /path/toshared/.Everyone /path/toshared/.Everyone/new /path/toshared/.Everyone/cur /path/toshared/.Everyone/tmp With permission file (/path/toshared/.Everyone/dovecot-acl): user=user1 lr ... user=user.surname lr user=user4 lrwstipekxa Hope this helps you!

Shared folders not listed by IMAP

[Dovecot] dovecot: disable ssl compression
by Andreas Schulze 04 Jul '14

04 Jul '14

Hello, Our "it-security" department asked me about Qualys warnings like -> SSL/TLS Compression Algorithm Information Leakage Vulnerability As far as I learned it's compression inside ssl. postfix-2.11 knows 'tls_ssl_options = no_compression' ( see http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#tls_ssl_options ) is the something comparable in dovecot too? Looks like most extensions in ssl exist only to be disabled :-/ Thanks Andreas

mixing Maildir and mdbox
by gustavo panizzo <gfa> 04 Jul '14

04 Jul '14

Hello i'm in the process to architect a new email system. i plan to use dovecot 2.2.9 (debian's wheezy). i would like to use maildir for 2 folders on each account (spam and no-spam) and the rest of the folders stored on mdbox. this should be opaque to my users. the reason for this, is i want to be able to train my anti-spam tools, but they read maildir or mbox, they don't read mdbox or dbox. but i want the other folders as mdbox (performance, backups, alternate storage) is there any way?, i prefer if is configurable in advance for all accounts but i could live with something that is done after account is created thanks! -- 1AE0 322E B8F7 4717 BDEA BF1D 44BB 1BA7 9F6C 6333

stripping extension from domain name
by Jerry 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Thu, 3 Jul 2014 06:29:06 -0400 I know that the "%d" parameter is for the domain. Is there any way to use just the domain name sans its extension. EXAMPLE: example.com ==> example Also, I have a lot of logging going on in my dovecot log file. I want to limit it to just the barest amount, such as indicting what mail box mail was delivered to. Authentication errors, etcetera should only be shown if an error occurs. Is this possible? Thanks! -- Jerry

ACL configuration migration from Dovecot 2.1.17 to 2.2.13
by Iavor Stoev 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hello, I'm preparing migration to the latest Dovecot version 2.2.13 from the previous stable branch 2.1.17 which is deployed on my servers. With version 2.1.17 I use global acl dir to prevent all mail users to delete their INBOX.Junk Mail folder, which is part from our spam protection system. My current config is: cat /etc/dovecot/acls/INBOX.Junk\ Mail owner lrwstiae With version 2.2.13, the global acl dir support is disabled (with the above config, the imap server shows no folders at all) so I must use global acl file. The problem is that the "INBOX.Junk Mail" folder contains space character and I tried to escape it with "",'',/ and enclose the whole name with "" & '' without success. If I change the acl config to INBOX.Mail it works OK. The syntax of my global acl file is: cat /etc/dovecot/acls INBOX.Junk Mail owner lrwstiae The error is: Error: Global ACL file /etc/dovecot/acls line 1: Unknown ID 'Mail' Please advise Iavor Stoev Project Manager // Head of System & Network Administration Department

Bug/feature: mail fs pollution on IMAP select namespace/{non-existent}
by Peter Benko 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hi all, I have noticed a strange behavior with dovecot (tested with 2.2.13). I use shared folders to share mailboxes between users. I have a namespace called "Accounts" that hosts the shared folder for the users (prefix Accounts/%%n/). However, When I issue an IMAP select command on a random non-existent mailbox name under "Accounts", dovecot auto-creates it and pollutes my mail root directory: Python test code snippet: imapConn=imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(serverIP, serverPort) imapConn.login(serverLogin, serverPass) print imapConn.select("Accounts/NonExistentMailbox") imapConn.logout() Resulting in this: drwxr-x--- 1 vmail vmail 4096 Jun 12 10:00 _attachments_ >>> drwx------ 1 vmail vmail 4096 Jun 24 14:27 NonExistentMailbox <<< drwxr-x--- 1 vmail vmail 4096 Jun 24 00:54 user1 drwxr-x--- 1 vmail vmail 4096 Jun 24 01:24 user2 ... -rwxr-x--- 1 vmail vmail 72 Jun 24 14:27 shared-mailboxes.db ls -l NonExistentMailbox/ -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 0 Jun 24 14:27 dovecot-acl-list drwx------ 1 vmail vmail 4096 Jun 24 14:27 mailboxes <<< (empty) I attached a debug log and and my sanitized dovecot config. Please help! Is this a bug or a feature? I assume it might even cause more serious problems e.g., if I would select "Accounts/_attachments_" or something similar... I noticed this behavior with the latest Thunderbird client when I tried to subscribe to shared folders and it started to pollute my mail dirs (which signals that Thunderbird might be also buggy as it should not select non-existent folders under "Accounts"). I just reproduced it for simplicity with the above python script.

Dsync replication one-way
by Muriel 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hi all, I know that I can do a backup using doveadm: doveadm backup -u user ssh backup.server doveadm dsync-server -u user But it's possible to use replicator service to do the same job? Or dsync with replicator can only be used in a two-way environment? Thanks, Muriel

[Dovecot] zlib maildir reindex broken
by Richard Platel 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

I posted to the list about this a while ago but never got a response, I have a bit more information now. Dovecot 2.2.12 and other 2.2 versions are broken when using zlib and maildir. If messages are re-indexed, the INTERNALDATE of all messages is set to the time the re-index is done. The problem seems to be in src/plugins/zlib/zlib-plugin.c in the function zlib_mail_cache_open. During a reindex maildir_mail_get_received_date() does an i_stream_stat on the the i_stream_seekable stream created in zlib_mail_cache_open, but this istream does not know about the original maildir message file and always returns the current time for the file's stat times. This is also broken on initial index, but if mail is indexed when it's received (ours isn't) it coincidentally gets the right time.

BUG: segfault in auth when user listed multiple times in LDAP

Hi, I think I found a bug in the auth module. It can be triggered when the userdb is in LDAP and an user is found multiple times in LDAP.

postfix alias and dovecot quota
by Alexandre Ellert 03 Jul '14

Hello, Can someone tell me if it’s possible to configure dovecot to answer quota information about real mailbox when I query a postfix alias mailbox (this information is actually in a mysql database) ? Example : doveadm quota get - u alias(a)domain.com doveadm(alias(a)domain.com): Fatal: User doesn't exist doveadm quota get - u realmailbox(a)domain.com Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 2048853 2048000 100 user MESSAGE 6783 - 0 I’d like to have this result : doveadm quota get - u alias(a)domain.com Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 2048853 2048000 100 user MESSAGE 6783 - 0 doveadm quota get - u realmailbox(a)domain.com Quota name Type Value Limit % user STORAGE 2048853 2048000 100 user MESSAGE 6783 - 0 Thanks for your help. Alexandre.

Bug in quota_get_status
by Franz Knipp 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hi, the configuration option lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes didn't work, so I traced down the problem: quota_get_status (quota_storage.c:89) calls quota_test_alloc (quota.c:1352) with size = 0 bytes, which leads always to a FALSE result in quota_is_over (quota.c:1305). I've fixed the function quota_is_over by considering ctx->bytes_over and ctx->count_over. See the included patch. Kind regards, Franz -- Franz Knipp, +43 664 3980169 qnipp GmbH, Hauptstraße 54, 7064 Oslip, Österreich http://qnipp.com http://qnipp.com/qnipp.vcf

Mailboxes are in Maildir format. Any good backup tips? Had success with version control?
by deoren 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

I'm still pretty new to running a mail server, but one thing I've come to appreciate over the years is a good backup strategy. Since I have always run my own servers for practice and for personal use I don't have access to Enterprise backup solutions. Because of that I usually just fall back to scripts and tarballs and offload the content on a regular basis. Right now I'm using LVM snapshots + tarballs for daily backups, but I'd like to get better coverage for incremental changes that occur throughout the day. The size of existing content is low, but (small) changes are frequent. I went with Maildir format because based on my reading it is referred to as time tested and corruption resistant. Because individual emails are stored as separate files this also leads me to believe that a version control system (Git, SVN) would allow for easy point in time restores. I'm also going to research the GNU tar utility's support for incremental archives as that sounds promising. Suggestions and warnings are most welcome. Thanks!

How do you configure an iterate_query SQL lookup for the doveadm director? I tried: service director { userdb { ... } } but userdb is not a valid stanza for director. I do not have a default userdb stanza, all my userdb definitions are specified in service imap/lda/lmtp blocks. Thanks. G H

[Dovecot] TLS/SSL for Win8 & Outlook
by Sebastian Goodrick 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello I recently upgraded to dovecot 2.1.7 (as supplied with Debian Weezy). All clients work as expected except for Outlook (2013 &2010) on Win8 with a SSL/TLS connection. (Thunderbird on Win8 and Outlook 2013 on Win 7 works fine. On my previous dovecot version 1.2.13 all clients worked.) As far as I understand, one difference is the support for TLS1.2 and SSL3. And on the client side Win8 is now connecting through the Microsoft Unified Security Protocol Provider.

[Dovecot] lazy_expunge and shared folders
by Florian 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Hi, since migration to Dovecot 2.2 I have troubles with lazy_expunge as soon as a user shares a folder. The user the folder is shared to cannot login anymore, dovecot logs Fatal: lazy_expunge: Unknown namespace: '.EXPUNGED/' - When no folder is shared lazy_expunge is working fine, deleted mails are moved to the expunged namespace and can be recovered without any problems. - Sharing folders works as long as I disable lazy_expunge. I have used the config (with minor changes) with dovecot 2.0 for years without any problem. Switching to dovecot 2.2.10 (atrps repository) or 2.2.12 (dovecot enterprise repo) lazy_expunge and acl do not work together anymore. Is it a bug, a known limitation or is something wrong with my config? Any hints are welcome.

Direct groups of users to pairs of backend mailstores?
by Murray Trainer 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Hi All, We are using Dovecot in a Director setup with two director proxies, six backend mailstores, mailbox storage in NFS, and user accounts stored in LDAP. Currently we have five NFS filesystems on EMC VNX storage which are all mounted on each of the six backend mailstores. At the moment all users could be directed to any of the six mailstores. We have a group of users with very large mailboxes we want to put on separate cheaper Backblaze NFS storage. Because this will be less reliable than our VNX storage we want to be able to direct this group of users to a new pair of backend mailstores that only have the Backblaze NFS mounts. This would isolate the rest of the users isolation from problems with the Backblaze NFS servers. I have read the Dovecot documentation which indicates it is possible to direct users always to a single backend server. Can Dovecot direct users to a pair or more of backend mailstores - ie a subset or another set of mailstores. If not it would be a great enhancement which would allow more scalability, flexibility and redundancy. Thanks Murray

Managing users and home dirs
by deano-dovecot＠areyes.com 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

For those of you using virtual users, and SQL, how are you managing your users and their home dirs ? That is, what process do you use for adding/deleting users, creating their home dirs etc ? I suppose it's easy enough to do manually, inserting rows in the database, creating dirs, chown/chmod yada yada, but there must be a better way to do it ... If you're doing dovecot replication then it gets even more cumbersome, having to duplicate the effort in two places (and make sure it's correct). I have a nice test setup using Percona XtraDB Clustering in a 3-node cluster which works swimmingly, albeit in VMs only at the moment. A master DB node and two dovecot nodes. Dovecot replication is up and running nicely too, and I almost have all the communications going over ipsec tunnels, so it will be nice and secure. I'm thinking of something like a cronjob with two tasks, the first would periodically scan the home dirs and compare the users to what's in the database. When it finds a new userdir (plus a file labeled PASSWD) the script would add the user to the database, create the Maildir and whatever else, then delete the PASSWD file. DB replication will push that to the other nodes. The second task is scanning the user database and comparing to the home dirs - basically opposite of the first cronjob. When it finds a user in the DB that doesn't have a home dir, it would create it and whatever else is needed. This way, to add a user one would just create a PASSWD file in /var/mail/domain.com/newusername/PASSWD on either of the dovecot replication partner systems. The first cronjob task would discover the newusername dir, create the user in the DB, create the Maildir, chown/chmod etc. and delete the PASSWD file, so it's ready to go on that system. DB replication pushes the user table to the other nodes. The second task on the other dovecot system will discover a new user in the DB that doesn't have a home dir, and do its thing to create it all. So the whole create-a-new-user process becomes something like this on either dovecot system : mkdir -p /var/mail/domain.com/newusername ; echo "changeme" > /var/mail/domain.com/newusername/PASSWD A max of 5 minutes later the user is added to the database, and the home dir/Maildir/etc/etc is created on both dovecot systems.

i need a little advice with dovecot master user
by Francesco 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Hello, As a step to migrate to a newer version of dovecot, i've been asked to configure a master user for logging in into mailboxes of a dovecot 1.2. I've followed the instructions from this page: http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers but appearently something is going wrong. I've turned on the auth verbose and what i get in the log is: 2014-06-30 15:25:03 auth(default): Info: passdb(administrator,127.0.0.1,master): Master user logging in as user(a)domain.tld but the output from a telnet session says: Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=PLAIN] server ready. a1 login user(a)domain.tld*administrator <administrator password> a1 NO [AUTHORIZATIONFAILED] Authorization failed what i noticed is that if i type a wrong password i get an AUTHENTICATIONFAILED, which, to me, sounds different from authorization. what am i doing wrong? here is the auth configuration: ____________________________________ auth_master_user_separator=* auth default { mechanisms = login plain passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master = yes pass = yes } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb static { args = uid=65000 gid=65000 mail=maildir:/var/utenti/ADS/%Lu/Maildir } passdb pam { } user = root socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } } ____________________________________

Login failure with SElinux enforcing + Sqlite user DB
by G H 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

I am having a very strange issue with Dovecot + Sqlite + SELinux in enforcing. I am able to log in via IMAPS if SELinux is in permissive, but not able to do so when in enforcing. I do not see any SELinux denials even with dontaudit's enabled. I am running Centos 5 on x86_64 with a customized kernel build and SElinux Strict policy. The log dumps below are in the following order: 1. My syslog output when SElinux is enforcing 2. My mail client's protocol log (using Sylpheed) 3. My syslog output when SElinux is permissive. From the audit log, syscall 2 (from the message "type=SYSCALL ... syscall=2 success=no" appears to be sys_open for x86_64 architectures. syscall 87 is sys_unlink. Why is my mail client getting a SQL error message even though dovecot's auth log reported login success? Is this a sqlite problem instead of a dovecot one? FYI, I am using dovecot-2.2.10 (from ATrpms.net) and sqlite-3.3.6-7 There appears to be several options related to the temporary store on sqlite's documentation, the solution may be to use memory (instead of files) for temporary tables... dovecot: auth-worker(29695): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so dovecot: auth-worker(29695): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_pgsql.so dovecot: auth-worker(29695): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so dovecot: auth-worker(29695): Debug: sql(mailadmin,10.0.77.80): query: SELECT password FROM users WHERE username = 'mailadmin' dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=mailadmin dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 3487432705 29692 1 17d4d0374be5dec51ce20917470caed8 session_pid=29696 request_auth_token dovecot: auth-worker(29695): Debug: sql(mailadmin,10.0.77.80): SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = 'mailadmin' AND view_mail = 't' AND 'imap' = 'imap' dovecot: auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 3487432705 mailadmin uid=97 gid=12 home=/var/mail/mailadmin auth_token=e0d0ed3080574ab089f1a5302d43110ffa15ec42 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<mailadmin>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.0.77.80, lip=10.0.78.223, mpid=29696, TLS, session=<0C+M3A/9OwCsEQFQ> audispd: node=myhost.somewhere type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1404144473.421:46298): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-13 a0=7fff97f77ce0 a1=c2 a2=1a4 a3=0 items=1 ppid=29697 pid=29699 auid=7033 uid=8 gid=12 euid=8 suid=8 fsuid=8 egid=12 sgid=12 fsgid=12 tty=(none) ses=108 comm="sqlite3" exe="/usr/bin/sqlite3" subj=system_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 key="access" audispd: node=myhost.somewhere type=CWD msg=audit(1404144473.421:46298): cwd="/var/run/dovecot" audispd: node=myhost.somewhere type=PATH msg=audit(1404144473.421:46298): item=0 name="./sqlite_ZPh8vGq4ia1CCsJ" inode=8192027 dev=fb:02 mode=040755 ouid=0 ogid=97 rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:dovecot_var_run_t:s0 audispd: node=myhost.somewhere type=EOE msg=audit(1404144473.421:46298): audispd: node=myhost.somewhere type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1404144473.422:46299): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-13 a0=7fff97f77ce0 a1=c2 a2=1a4 a3=0 items=1 ppid=29697 pid=29699 auid=7033 uid=8 gid=12 euid=8 suid=8 fsuid=8 egid=12 sgid=12 fsgid=12 tty=(none) ses=108 comm="sqlite3" exe="/usr/bin/sqlite3" subj=system_u:system_r:dovecot_t:s0 key="access" audispd: node=myhost.somewhere type=CWD msg=audit(1404144473.422:46299): cwd="/var/run/dovecot" audispd: node=myhost.somewhere type=PATH msg=audit(1404144473.422:46299): item=0 name="./sqlite_9i9aIbK0rBuJWFS" inode=8192027 dev=fb:02 mode=040755 ouid=0 ogid=97 rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:dovecot_var_run_t:s0 ...

Sieve seems to break mailbody during automatic redirection
by Urban Loesch 30 Jun '14

Hi, I have a strange problem with sieve. After upgrading to 2.2.13 sieve seems to break the mailbody during automatic redirection.

The part of the mail-header looks normal. But as you can see at beginning of the mailbody something inserts the strange character "^M" after each newline. According to Google this is a endline charachter from Windows. And this seems to break some clients (Eg. Lotus Notes). With dovecot version 2.1.x I don't have this problem. Have you any solution for me? Many thanks Urban Loesch

Any issues with dsync between 2.1.7 and 2.2.9 ?
by deano-dovecot＠areyes.com 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

My current production system is running dovecot 2.1.7-7ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 13.04, and I'm building a new setup based on Ubuntu 14.04 with dovecot 2.2.9-1ubuntu2.1 - current standard in the repos. I'd like to use replication to get the mailstore from the old system to the new. Are there any caveats or gotchas to be aware of ? Is it possible to make it a one-way replication ? So problems or glitches on the new setup don't propagate to the old production ? Thanks - D.

Procmail to Sieve translation
by Gerhard Wiesinger 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

Hello, I'm trying to move from procmail to dovecot sieve. I found the translation script at http://www.dovecot.org/tools/procmail2sieve.pl It works well except the following use cases: * ^From:.*myemail@mydomain.com.* | formail -I"X-Priority: 2 (high)" -I"X-mydomain-com-seen: yes" | $SENDMAIL -oi \ myemail(a)mydomain2.com \ myemail(a)mydomain3.com :0c * ^From:.*myemail@mydomain.com.* ! +1123456789(a)mysmsprovider.com :0c * ^(To|Cc|Bcc):.*myemail@mydomain.com.* ! myemail(a)mydomain2.com myemail(a)mydomain3.com Is there a possibility to support these use cases (can be done manually)? How does forwarding to another domain work at the deliver process? :copy seems not to be supported, right? Thank you. Ciao, Gerhard

Dovecot virtual and SASL with Postfix
by Jerry 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

This is my first attempt to set up virtual users and sasl with Postfix. Can I use a regular password file in this format: user:{plain}password user2:{plain}password2 or do I need to use a different format? I have been trying to find an example of a virtual user SASL file, but without any luck. I suck at Googling too. All of the mail will be delivered to :/var/mail/vmail/<domain>/<user> -- Jerry

mixing Maildir and mdbox
by gustavo panizzo <gfa> 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

Hello i'm in the process to architect a new email system. i plan to use dovecot 2.2.9 (debian's wheezy). i would like to use maildir for 2 folders on each account (spam and no-spam) and the rest of the folders stored on mdbox. this should be opaque to my users. the reason for this, is i want to be able to train my anti-spam tools, but they read maildir or mbox, they don't read mdbox or dbox. but i want the other folders as mdbox (performance, backups, alternate storage) is there any way?, i prefer if is configurable in advance for all accounts but i could live with something that is done after account is created thanks! PD: please keep me CC'ed as i'm not subscribed to the list -- 1AE0 322E B8F7 4717 BDEA BF1D 44BB 1BA7 9F6C 6333

Just did some more scripting and got a total of 1413 distinct emails (distinct queueids) that suffered from this 'message was expunged' problem on the 36 hours i got the problems. As noted before, not even a single one of these 1413 were nrcpt=1. Problems were from nrcpt=2 or greater. So, whatever this is, it really seems to NOT affect single recipient messages. As you suspected, on those 1413 the very first recipient ALWAYS got a status=sent from dovecot/lmtp. "Message was expunged" never happened on the very first recipient delivery. About the first user (the first delivered message) checking the message right after delivery, i tried to confirm that by the logs. To make things a little easier, i used nrcpt=2 and nrcpt=3 situations, just to avoid posting lots of logs here.

Despite of that, 2nd recipient got the message successfully delivered. But we have also a delay=22 ... maybe lmtp instance had already opened the message BEFORE it was erased by the 1st user ? this delay is high, i know that and, usually, server do NOT suffer from this delays on deliveries. Anyway, during this problem period, queues were pretty large and, thus, load was very high, which i think explains this unusual delays. With these two cases, it really seems that this is somehow related to: - lmtp as delivery agent - multiple recipient messages - first (or previous users in fact) checked and deleted the message before all the recipients got the message delivery About the two parameters, maildir_copy_with_hardlinks and pop3_fast_size_lookups, i'll try to change them one at a time and try to reproduce the problems. Fact is i only had the problem with both set to yes and problems were completly vanished when both were set to no. -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues Solutti Tecnologia http://www.solutti.com.br Minha armadilha de SPAM, NÃO mandem email gertrudes(a)solutti.com.br My SPAMTRAP, do not email it

imap/pop3/lmtp proxy question/problem
by Jogi Hofmüller 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Dear list, We are finally back to our task of migrating from cyrus to dovecot. dovecot mostly does what we want in terms of POP3/IMAP server. Now we are preparing for migration. The plan is to use dovecot as proxy for not-yet migrated accounts. This works wonderfully for IMAP but not for LMTP. Here's what I find in the logs when I try to deliver e-mail to the dovecot lmtp port: Jun 25 19:03:06 klee dovecot: lmtp(5037): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= Jun 25 19:03:06 klee dovecot: lmtp(5037): Connect from IP-address Jun 25 19:03:06 klee dovecot: lmtp(5037): Debug: user USER: Auth PASS lookup returned temporary failure: reason=Configured passdbs don't support crentials lookups Jun 25 19:03:06 klee dovecot: lmtp(5037): Debug: auth input: reason=Configured passdbs don't support crentials lookups Delivery works fine without proxy (lmtp_proxy = no). What I would need to do is to configure the proxy part so that POP3/IMAP uses the accounts username/password and LMTP uses a special account to deliver e-mail. This is dovecot-ldap.auth (the =proxy=y will be replaced by a field from ldap once the tests work): uris = ldaps://our.ldap.server/ tls = no auth_bind = yes base = dc=mur,dc=at deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = =home=/srv/vmail/mail/%Lu,=uid=999,=gid=999 user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,=proxy=y,=host=our.imap.server,=starttls=yes iterate_attrs = uid=user iterate_filter = (objectClass=posixAccount) dovecot -n # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 x86_64 Debian jessie/sid auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no lmtp_proxy = yes login_greeting = Dovecot is spitze! mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/srv/vmail/mail/%u mail_plugins = acl namespace { hidden = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/srv/vmail/mail/%%u:INDEX=/srv/vmail/mail/%u/shared/%%u prefix = shared.%%u. separator = . subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = INBOX. separator = . subscriptions = yes type = private } 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 lmtp pop3" service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail user = vmail } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 172.16.16.78 port = 24 } user = vmail } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/server.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/server.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = acl quota sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mur.at } protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl imap_acl } Regards, -- j.hofmüller Gerüchtegenerator http://plagi.at/geruecht

(Please keep me CC'd, I'm not subscribed) Hi folks, I'm using dovecot 2.1.7 (from Debian stable) with sieve. I have default sieve script configured, which lives in /etc/dovecot/sieve. I use dovecot-lda running under the virtual-mail user, which does not have write access to the /etc/dovecot/sieve directory. Now, when a mail gets delivered, I get the following message in my logs. Jun 25 14:29:43 mail dovecot: lda(2001): Error: sieve: binary save: failed to create temporary file: open(/etc/dovecot/sieve/default.svbin.mail.local.18902.) failed: Permission denied (euid=2009(virtual-mail) egid=2009(virtual-mail) missing +w perm: /etc/dovecot/sieve, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Jun 25 14:29:43 mail dovecot: lda(2001): Error: sieve: the lda sieve plugin does not have permission to save global sieve script binaries; global sieve scripts like /etc/dovecot/sieve/default need to be pre-compiled using the sievec tool Due to the lack of permissions, this is of course expected. However, when I then try to precompile the script using sievec, that also fails: # sievec /etc/dovecot/sieve/default sievec(root): Error: sieve: binary save: failed to create temporary file: open(/etc/dovecot/sieve/default.svbin.mail.local.18952.) failed: Permission denied (euid=2009(virtual-mail) egid=2009(virtual-mail) missing +w perm: /etc/dovecot/sieve, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) So, apparently sievec drops privileges to the virtual-mail user. Why does this happen? It seems kind of counter-productive - I don't see a way to properly run sievec as root now? How is this supposed to work? Now I wrote this, I realized that it might be related that I have specified mail_uid and mail_gid globally in my dovecot.conf file. Perhaps those are intended to only be put inside the protocol imap and protocol lda blocks? This would mean duplicating of this bit of configuration, which doesn't really sound nice. Gr.

ot: accepting self certs into win pc?
by voytek＠sbt.net.au 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

few month ago, I've got a new Dovecot/Postfix server with self issued certificate (like the previous server), transferred users, all went well EXCEPT for one user on Win/Outlook (or Outlook Express) who tells me his new PC 'doesn't want to accept certificate' (sorry, I'm short on exact details at this time) I need to get it sorted out, I expect it 'should just work' like it did for other users, BUT, before I start looking, trying to 'educate myself' better if any one has any pointers, dos or don't regarding win email clients with self certified server, pls point me that way is using IE with www.dom.com/mycert.crt good point to start ? (after copying mycer.crt to web linked directory first?) thanks, V

Wheezy Dovecot workarounds
by Steve Litt 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi all, In switching from Ubuntu to Debian Wheezy (7.5 64bit, network install), I'm finding some surprises in getting Dovecot to work. PROBLEM: As installed, the package manager doesn't give you the dovecot executable. WORKAROUND: To install the dovecot executable, you need to follow these instructions: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/DebianStable PROBLEM: Even when you install Dovecot, it doesn't work, as evidenced by the inability of a local email client to talk to it. Further elements of the symptom are that nmap -A -T4 LocalIPAddress, whether LocalIPAddress is the IP of eth0, or 127.0.0.1, fails to find any open ports. Telnet can't operate dovecot at port 143, and openssl can't operate it at 993. However, bizarrly, executing these same commands on a remote machine into the original machine (including accessing the machine's Dovecot from an email client) work perfectly. WORKAROUND To "solve" this problem, do the following raindance as root: ifdown lo ifup lo After the raindance, local access to Dovecot works perfectly, and all nmap commands perform as expected. LOL, hey man, don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger. SteveT Steve Litt * http://www.troubleshooters.com/ Troubleshooting Training * Human Performance

Mangesieve security question
by Vijay Rajah 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hello, I have a dovecot 2.2.6 on a Linux platform. I have configured manageseive extension. I have opened the manageseive port (4190) to entire world. (since I need my thunderbird and other clients to create seive scripts). I just wanted to know if it is ok to open that port to everyone, and get some feedback on some security measures specific to manageseive. -Thanks in advance Vijay PS: I have taken reasonable server hardening measures. This question is specific to manageseive.

Wishlist: add a variable %{x509} expanding to the client cert in Dovecot-auth
by Guilhem Moulin 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Hi there, As of Dovecot 2.2.9, it's possible to enable passwordless authentication using client certificates [1]: ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/ca.pem ssl_verify_client_cert = yes auth_ssl_username_from_cert = yes (Password checking can be bypassed by returning the extra fields ‘password= nopassword’ in the passdb when the variable ‘%k’ expands to "valid".) However this requires the server admin to set up a PKI. Having a variable %{x509} expanding to the X.509 client cert in Dovecot-auth would remove such hassle and instead provide a way to manage authorized clients in the fashion of OpenSSH's ‘authorized_keys’. Postfix has a similar configuration option: relay_clientcerts [2]. There, the keys for the lookup table can be either client cert fingerprints or public key fingerprints (the digest algorithm can be configured with smtpd_tls_fingerprint_digest). I can't see why %{x509} should digest the certificate and not merely PEM-encode it, but having another %{pubkey} variable expanding to the (PEM-encoded) cert's SubjectPublicKeyInfo block would surely be useful :-) I wonder if there are other folks interested in having the client cert available in the passdb. Thanks, cheers, -- Guilhem. [1] http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration#Client_certificate_verifi… [2] http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#relay_clientcerts

ACL group-override question
by Peter Chiochetti 23 Jun '14

23 Jun '14

Trying to get ACLs working, very basic setup: Virtual users are put into different acl_group via passdb. > u:{PLAIN}B::::::userdb_acl_groups=g The global acl file restricts what they can do. > * group-override=g > * group=g lr Shouldn't this mean, that the group rights override the user rights? The effect that I see though is, that the user "u" then may not do anything, not even lookup and read. The wiki text is not fully clear to me: It tells about disabling access fully (probably by specifying a non-existent group?). But this can only be one way to use group_override… -- peter
