Hi everybody, I'd like to submit a bug: My setup: dovecot version: 2.2.13-1 Kernel: 3.14.5-1-ARCH on arch linux x64 Filesystem: ext4 Bug description: If a virtual mailbox is defined with auto = subscribe dovecot crashes upon access via imap. Configuration is as followed: namespace inbox { [...] mailbox virtual/Flagged { auto = subscribe special_use = \Flagged } [...] dovecot-virtual file: # ~/Maildir/virtual/Flagged/dovecot-virtual * -Trash -Trash/* flagged 'auto' must be set to 'no' for virtual mailboxes, otherwise dovecot crashes when the virtual folder is tried to be accessed via a imap (thunderbird in my case).

[Dovecot] Issues with VANISHED CHANGEDSINCE
by Michael J Rubinsky 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

I've been seeing the following wonky behavior with Dovecot. Currently this is with Dovecot 2.0.19, but I was also seeing it in earlier versions as well, including versions from the 1.x series. Some background, this is from Horde's ActiveSync library, when it is trying to determine what UIDs have recently been expunged. I can guarantee that when this command was sent, there was only one or two emails that were removed since the provided MODSEQ value. C: 8 UID FETCH 1:* UID (VANISHED CHANGEDSINCE 587742) S: * VANISHED (EARLIER) 1:119944,119947:123482,123484:128043,128045:130388,130390:130456,130458:132127,132129:135832,135834:136201,136203:136301,136303:136316,136318:138502,138504:140099,140101:141908,141910:142607,142609:142744,142746:142865,142867:143160,143164:143173,143176:143179,143181:143187,143189:143190,143192:143195,143197:143270,143272:143273,143275:143280,143282:143302,143305:143307,143309:143318,143320:143333,143335:143337,143339:143341,143343:143375,143377:143400,143402:143551,143553:143637,143640:143706,143708:144069,144071:144178,144180:144307,144309:144316,144318:144329,144331:144931,144933:144983,144985:145000,145002:145069,145071:145072,145074:145132,145136:145178,145180:145191,145193 Also, to verify it wasn't something screwy with my server, Michael Slusarz provided me with this from his server: <quote> There's definitely something wonky going on in the code. There's a certain tipping point of modseqs where the values become incorrect. For a mailbox with HIGHESTMODSEQ of 54004, I see this: a uid fetch 1:* UID (VANISHED CHANGEDSINCE 53881) * VANISHED (EARLIER) 1:37308,37310:40788,40791:41032,41034:41083 a OK Fetch completed. b uid fetch 1:* UID (VANISHED CHANGEDSINCE 53882) * VANISHED (EARLIER) 41029:41030,41047:41083 b OK Fetch completed. </quote> Thanks for any guidance. -- mike The Horde Project (www.horde.org) mrubinsk(a)horde.org

[Dovecot] checkpassword memory limit
by a 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hi. I am trying to authenticate dovecot from a wordpress database. I was thinking of using the checkpassword script to start a cli php script. That php script would then include the necessary wordpress functions, do the auth (find the wp username from user database using the email address, and authenticate with the user/pass), and return the result to the checkpassword script. I made the above scripts (the php script will be used to authenticate some other services too), and when I run them "by hand" (even with "sudo -u dovecot ..."), it works. But, when the dovecot runs them, the php runs out of memory. After a lot of debuging, I find out that when the dovecot starts the checkpassword script, it makes a 250kB memory limit. But it is not enough for the php script, it needs 14MB. I tried to put a "ulimit -v 16777216" into the checkpassword.sh, but it doesn't work.Is there some hardcoded limit in the dovecot itself? And if there is, could it be somehow changed?I am using a simple D ebian Wheezy LAMP, and installed everything from repo. Thanks for every idea.

[Dovecot] Authentication Failure (newbie)
by Danny Gorton 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Greetings, I'm am learning about running a mail server and I set up a brand new Ubuntu 14.04 server with postfix and dovecot. I had some initial problems with dovecot not starting, and then with not having proper permissions/access to the various directories and files and pipes, etc, and in the process starting to learn how this thing works. After searching in web-land I seem to have overcome those issues and dovecot and postfix both start and accept connections now (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/TestPop3Installation) However when I check to see if I can authenticate I get Authentication Failed. At the time of these login attempts there are no messages added to syslog or mail.log, dovecot log entries are below. Note I redacted my test user and password values to 'xxxxx', and my domain value to 'domain.com'. Also I'm testing with my plain text password, but I've tried using AUTH PLAIN <base64 encoded uid/pwd>. I have also tried the setup with a default auth domain, and I've tried authenticating with and without the domain name as part of the user name, with the same results. I added the debug settings and disable_plaintext_auth = no to try to solve this issue. Here is my test command set: xxxxx@apacweb:~$ sudo doveadm user xxxxx field valueuserdb lookup: user xxxxx doesn't exist and : xxxxx@apacweb:~$ telnet localhost 110 Trying ::1... Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot (Ubuntu) ready. user xxxxx +OK pass xxxxx -ERR [AUTH] Authentication failed. Here is a cut from the dovecot log: 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Error: passwd-file(xxxxx): stat(uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail//xxxxx /etc/dovecot/users) failed: Address family not supported by protocol I figure this is the root cause of this issue and the solution to it is supposedly to tell dovecot to not listen on IPv6 (listen = *), but I did that and it didn't help (see config). Here is a cut from the dovecot.info log: 2014-06-08 00:16:25 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=3131) 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot//auth-token-secret.dat 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Debug: passwd-file /etc/dovecot/passwd: Read 1 users in 0 secs 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Debug: master in: USER 1 xxxxx service=doveadm 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Debug: userdb out: NOTFOUND 1 Here is my dovecot config: # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.info listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-client { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = postfix mode = 0777 user = postfix } user = vmail } service imap-login { chroot = login executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login user = dovecot } service imap { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap } service pop3-login { chroot = login executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login inet_listener pop3 { address = * port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { address = * port = 995 } user = dovecot } service pop3 { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/smtpd.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/smtpd.key userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%d/%n /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } valid_chroot_dirs = /var/spool/vmail protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } I'm sure I've done something stupid, but after thrashing about for some days I haven't been able to figure out what it is.

[Dovecot] Running dovecot under Cygwin
by Manolis Spanakis 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hi, In http://wiki2.dovecot.org/DovecotFeatures I found the following statement regarding devcot support of cygwin: Cygwin works after a few code changes, but doesn't support SCM_RIGHTS I downloaded "dovecot-2.2.13.tar.gr" and tried to compile it under cygwin version 1.7.30 (0.272/5/3) CYGWIN_NT-6.3-WOW642.580 (32-bit). As I executed the: $./configure I got the following error: error: fd passing is required for Dovecot to work If I bypass this error by changing "configure" I get no other errors either in "configure" or "make". It seems that "src/lib/fdpass.c" is the only library incompatible with cygwin. Is there any file version available that provides a solution? Thank you in advance, Manolis Spanakis

[Dovecot] CRAM-MD5 authentication memory leak problem.
by Kenji Tonami 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

I used dovecot Auth daemon for postfix SMTP Auth. I saved clear password to OpenLDAP, then I set up that as the password will be used. There ware no trouble when authentication had sucessed. But when authentication failed by using "CRAM-MD5", it caused increasing memory allocation of dovecot auth daemon. In case of using "PLAIN" or "LOGIN", there were no problem even if authentication had failed. I got same result on dovecot-2.0.9(RHEL6) and dovecot-2.2.13. Does anyone know similar case? I tried restarting dovecot Auth daemon by using service_count parameter in service auth settings. When authentication failed, message on postfix was as follows: ** 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: "CRAM-MD5 string" When authentication failed and restarting dovecot auth daemon at the same time, message on postfix was changed as follows: ** 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server It looks like that the failed authentication request is suspended by restarting auth daemon. -- config (10-auth.conf) auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 -- -- config (10-master.conf) service auth { executable = auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix group = postfix } } -- -- auth-ldap.conf.ext passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/ldap-passdb.conf.ext } -- -- ldap-passdb.conf.ext host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dn = LDAP Manager DN dnpass = Manager DN password base = ou=mail,dc=xxxxxx,dc=xx scope = subtree pass_attrs = mailID=user,mailClearPassword=password pass_filter = (mailID=%u) auth_bind = no default_pass_scheme = plain -- Thanks. -- Kenji Tonami

It turned out to be a TCP scaling problem. If a router/firewall drops packets with a TCP scaling option set, the endpoints disagree on how many outstanding non-ACK packets are allowed, resulting in timeouts. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935400 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_window_scale_option The Microsoft KB does hint those versions of Outlook may be affected, but I can't figure out why there would be a difference between Dovecot 2.1 and 2.2.

[Dovecot] Sharing folder with others

Hello, The sharing folders with dovecot works, but when the user that i shared the folder reads any e-mails in the folder, all my subcribed folder (the folders that i do not shared with this user) is unsubcribed from my account. The only folders that remains is the default ones ( inbox, trash, spam and sent) and the folder that i shared with that user. my configurations: # separator for master-users, example: "login_user*master_user -> user(a)domain.tld*masteruser auth_master_user_separator = * passdb passwd-file { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot-masterusers master = yes } namespace private { type = private separator = / prefix = #location defaults to mail_location. inbox = yes } namespace shared { type = shared separator = / prefix = Share Folders/%%u/ location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/vmail/%d/%%n:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/vmail/%d/%n/shared/%%u subscriptions = yes list = children } # cat /etc/dovecot-postlogin #!/bin/bash export MASTER_USER="$USER" exec /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap "$@" Can someone help me out with this?

[Dovecot] director with multiple instances

I'm experiencing some problems similar to those described in http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-July/137250.html except with 2.0.9.

[Dovecot] What are the options for HA and\or replication and\or storage?
by Eliezer Croitoru 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

I am considering couple options of converting a current service into a HA using multi servers or any other solutions. The point is that I am thinking about the options and which I am looking for. NFS can be a storage which has it's own pros and cons. There is the option of DRBD but as of now it's limited for two hosts. What options do exist out-there as a solution? The main issues are that the current service is based on Maildir and is on one server with resierfs. The service is composed of one host with 50k users couple disks in raid6. On the same machine we have postfix as mailer. I would like to hear about HA environment that I can use to replicate the boxes. My basic research leaded me to smtp on one host or more and using lmtp to send the messages to dovecot o another host which will have a replicated host and will be used with storage system based on ISCSI or NFS. Any other idea to enhance the current one or to replace it is more then just welcome. Thanks, Eliezer

[Dovecot] General questions about TCP replication with dsync
by Patrick De Zordo 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi Guys, I would like to question why I see this errors in my logs. Let explain me! Dovecot version: 2.2.9 (on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) Ive configured our dovecot servers (2 servers) to do the TCP replication with dsync. This is working flawless. 1. Question: In logs I can see this errors on every sync (on the slave server / server without changes which should be updated): ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- dsync-server(email(a)example.com): Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/replicator-doveadm) failed: Permission denied ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Googling a bit gave me the information This should be normal..? Well ok, errors in logs are not nice to see, but can someone confirm this is really ok? Timo? 2. Question (much more important): We are using sieve scripts for our users, they are replicated to the replica-host but this errors appears in logs on every synchronized message: ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- dsync-server(email(a)example.com): Error: Failed to access mailbox dovecot/sieve: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. dsync-server(email(a)example.com): Error: stat(/var/vmail/example.com/email/.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- So whats going on there? This is strange and should not be, right? Any hints? Thank you very much! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Distinti saluti / Kind regards De Zordo Patrick patrick(a)spamreducer.eu

[Dovecot] IMAP copy fails because the mailbox size of user1 is exceeding the quota limit of user2??
by Katja Wegner 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi all, I do have a mailbox-quota problem in dovecot 2.0.19 that is beond my understanding. Could someone pls. give me a hint. - user1 max. mailbox quota is set to 1GB, the current mailbox size of user1 is 15MB - user2 max. mailbox quota is set to 10MB, the current mailbox size of user1 is 10kB - user1 shares the folder 'shared_folder' to user2 with all rights (read, write ...) - user2 has subscribed to 'shared_folder' the problem: - user2 tries to move a mail (20kB) to the shared folder via telnet: ". copy 1:1 shared/user1/shared_folder" - it fails with: "NO [OVERQUOTA] Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)" - copying the same mail to a local folder of user2 works without problems. - After I raised the max. mailbox quota of user2 from 10MB to 16MB it was possible to move the mail to the 'shared_folder' of user1. It looks like the copy operation fails because the mailbox size of user1 is exceeding the quota limit of user2! Is this possible? Is this a bug?

[Dovecot] attachment sis + EMLINK (too many links) = segfault bug (2.2.12)
by Pavel Stano 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi, we use attachment dedup with lots of emails (still migrating to it from maildir). We use netapp storage with wafl filesystem over nfs. Problem is that netapp has hard limit of 100k hardlinks to one file. And we encountered it. Problem is that dovecot start do segfault (lmtp,dsync,pop3 etc) when it happend when tried to deliver new emails with that attachment. Here is strace of dsync: 6740 link("/nfsmnt/mailatch1/f9/10/hashes/f9108ddaa156ac15738e41ed3bedec1eda50175d", "/nfsmnt/mailatch1/f9/10/f9108ddaa156ac15738e41ed3bedec1eda50175d-7bb7a20ddb598853541a000028db4a9f") = -1 EMLINK (Too many links) 6740 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- ls -lh: -rw------- 100000 vmail vmail 4.7K Apr 28 16:54 /nfsmnt/mailatch1/f9/10/hashes/f9108ddaa156ac15738e41ed3bedec1eda50175d We were using mail_attachment_min_size=4kb, we solve it by increasing it to 8kb. It would be nice to somehow fix this problem. Like not crash when EMLINK happend and maybe do not deduplicate attachments but deliver email without dedup. Or create second file in hashes/ and start hardlinking it instead of original. AFAIK ext4 has also hard-link limit 64k (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link#Limitations_of_hard_links) So this can happen to anyone with lots of emails.

[Dovecot] Plugin mail-filter tangles
by Stanislas SABATIER 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

System installed : Dovecot 2.2.12 as IMAP server and Postfix as MTA. Dovecot and Postfix connected via LMTP + Dovecot mail plugin 'mail-filter' to encrypt/decrypt emails on the fly with public/private users' RSA keys. Case study : You have 3 (virtuals) users belonging to 3 different domains, all managed by your Dovecot server. One of these users is connected to Dovecot with MUA Thunderbird, and he's writing an email to someone outside of yours domains, but he puts the two others users' email addresses in CC : mail from user1(a)domain1.dovecot --> to: someone@outside, CC: user2(a)domain2.dovecot, user3(a)domaine3.dovecot What happens (as far as I can understand) : The email is submitted to Postfix : one copy is delivered outside, the other is passed to Dovecot via LMTP for user2 & user3 @dovecot Dovecot is handling the final delivery, through mail-filter plugin as follow : 1. both users contexts are created from user_db queries 2. mail-filter plugin is init for user2 3. /mail_user_created/ for user2 4. mai-filter plugin arguments are parsed for user2 5. â¦/mail_allocated/ then /mail_save_begin/ for user2 (at this stage, the email is encrypted with users2 params) 6. Dovecot tells to LMTP that mail for user2 is delivered 7. then, â we are still in user2 context â, an other /mail_allocated/ is run, followed by a /istream_opened/ 8. mail user context is swithed to user3 --> /mail_user_created/ --> plugin's args parsed --> â¦ /mail_allocated/ 9. andâ¦ Dovecot tells to LMTP that mail for user3 is delivered So, it appears that Dovecot is re-using user2's email to pass it to user3 by opening an istream in user2's context. In my configuration, Dovecot can't do that because it has not the user2's private rsa key to reopen the email it has just encrypted, so it passes the email to user3 with user2 encryption params. Final result : user3 is receiving the email encrypted with user2's rsa key ! Problem : how to force Dovecot to deinit then reinit mail-filter plugin for each user to be sure that each email is encrypted with the right key before it is saved to users' mailboxes ? Thank you in advance for your help. Stan.

[Dovecot] SQL passdb, LDAP userdb
by Kristof Bajnok 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi, in my current setup, LDAP authentication + userdb works fine. I'd like to integrate Dovecot with Shibboleth. I have a custom module at the IdP (*) that inserts short-time tokens to an SQL table at user authentication, and I want Dovecot to use the token table for passdb but keep LDAP for storing the userdb (uid, quota, etc) I thought it was simple as omitting the sql user_query, but I got: Warning: mysql: Query failed, retrying: Table 'webmail.users' doesn't exist Error: sql(user@domain,ipaddr): User query failed: Table 'webmail.users' doesn't exist (using built-in default user_query: SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d') Do you have any hints how to do this? Thanks, Kristof (*): in SAML there is an Identity Provider that does user authentication, which is separated from the services

UID 26624 is a valid user ('info' of domain14552) but under a compleltly different domain name (hamish is under domain25367). However that user has also not logged in around the time the ownership was changed. There is no relevance to the two users, except that they exist on the system and for some reason this issue happened to the hamish user. The NFS server does not know about the UIDs, it just provides the numeric IDs which is translated on the dovecot/exim servers by NSS and Dovecotr using the replicated MySQL database. Additionally both users have existed for some time and the databases are in sync. Customers also do not have any access to the file system so there will be no symlinks in place. Its also not a single server that we are seeing the issue on, it maybe one Dovecot server accessing one NFS server. Then the next time its a different Dovecot server accessing a different NFS server. >> >the logs for that time which is abnormal (a whole bunch of other logins from >> >other customers but nothing from those two users and no errors) > What about cron jobs, message delivery, backups, ... anything that > possibly can alter that file. I don't think, it's a Dovecot issue, unless > the uid 26624 is valid and hamish is shared with that user. Nothing besides Courier being replaced by Dovecot has changed in the server setup (although I could be wrong there, but we are going through one component at a time and until this issue is resolved we are not moving onto the next), and the only file which is being modified is a file which only Dovecot maintains. There are hourly backups which do an rsync to another server in case of hardware failure, there are scripts which move mailboxes between NFS servers but they show up in logs. Exim has no need to touch a dovecot controlled file, and when it writes mail into the maildir its writing as the correct user. It also seem odd that one login is fine then randomly the next login the file ownership has changed, nothing happens in between the two logins which are in some cases only 5 to 10 minutes apart. All I am really looking for is ideas on where to look, as it seems odd that nobody else is reporting this, and since its a reasonably new setup its possibly something we have done in the config (which I posted in my first email). Is there a reliable way to run a script directly when a dovecot session starts and finishes so we could output the ownership before and after which may also help eliminate the session itself. Cheers, Bruce

[Dovecot] empty emails with 2.2.13/pigeonhole
by Cor Bosman 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

I recently upgraded from 2.2.10 to 2.2.13, and also upgraded pigeonhole. Ever since im seeing some empty emails appear in my inbox. Return-Path: <cricket(a)stats2.xs4all.net> Delivered-To: <cor> Received: from imapdirector1.xs4all.net ([194.109.26.173]) by userimap9.xs4all.nl (Dovecot) with LMTP id CHu0MUDDjlOBdwAAwvsqNQ for <cor>; Wed, 04 Jun 2014 08:57:04 +0200 Thats all this mail contains. This only happens using LMTP/Sieve, and with many different senders/recipients. Debug log shows nothing out of the ordinary, except that the mail seems to be corrupted by the time it hits sieve. It's very hard to diagnose. Our path is kind of lengthy, and in theory it could happen everywhere. Mail first arrives on incoming MX server which is sendmail. From there it's sent to a dovecot director using lmtp, which sends it to a server that does final delivery with sieve. Im not sure where the email gets corrupted. Any extra debugging I could turn on? Two extra things to note. So far it seems to only happen to emails that would have hit a matching sieve filter rule. I have asked a dozen people to verify this, and all emails would have matched a filter if all was well. Instead, it gets dropped into the inbox because pigeonhole seems to be working with the corrupt file and cant match any rules anymore. And second, 99% of our email is handled differently, from the sendmail server directly into a local mailer, and that never causes issues. We're in the process of switching to lmtp. Any insights? cor

[Dovecot] /etc/passwd userdb and long usernames
by Nicolás Reynolds 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

hi! i've configured dovecot to lookup usernames in /etc/passwd and it's working ok but it's having some problems retrieving info when the username is longer than 32 chars (i know it isn't recommended but everything seemed to work ok except for the hardcoded limit in useradd...) i found this on logs showing extra characters on the home field: http://pastie.org/pastes/9257902/text?key=vsxstofu3rf5wum4aic5va is there a limit on username length? i "solved" it by setting auth_username_format = %0.30u -- http://partidopirata.com.ar

[Dovecot] Dovecot + NFS + FreeBSD breakage ?
by Xavier Beaudouin 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

Hi, I am trying to update my old mails servers from dovecot 2.1.15 to 2.2.12 (freebsd ports) and upgrade to FreeBSD 10.0-P3. My mail storage are on NFS with index also. On 2.1.15 everything is ok, and in 10-mail.conf I have the good things to be added as wiki tell me (eg http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS) BUT, when I try a single connection like : $ telnet ::1 110 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. user test@domain +OK pass thebloodypass Connection closed by foreign host.

[Dovecot] Change in LAYOUT=fs between 1.2.9 and 2.0.19?
by Martijn 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

While testing an upgrade from Dovecot 1.2.9 (on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) to 2.0.19 (12.04 LTS) I encountered the following change in behaviour: In both setups, mail_location is defined as follows: mail_location = maildir:~/domains/%d/%n/.Maildir:LAYOUT=fs No other mail_location-related settings are set in the config. On 1.2.9 this leads to new mail being delivered to this example directory: /home/username/domains/example-domain.ext/webmaster/.Maildir/INBOX/new/ On 2.0.19 the exact same mail_location is set, but new mail is now delivered to: /home/username/domains/example-domain.ext/webmaster/.Maildir/new/ Notice the missing /INBOX/ in the path on 2.0.19. I found no mention of this change on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.0 which first lead me to suspect this was a bug in 2.0.19. However, while browsing the 2.0-wiki I found a page which sheds some light on the behaviour that is to be expected from Dovecot 2.0.x. Quote from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir#Directory_layout > "Mailbox directory name": "Without DIRNAME, INBOX will be stored at ~/Maildir/{new,cur,tmp}/, but when DIRNAME is specified, we get an extra path component INBOX/ immediately prior to the DIRNAME value, so in the example above INBOX would be stored at ~/Maildir/INBOX/mAildir/{new,cur,tmp}/." I then changed mail_location to have an empty DIRNAME, like: mail_location = maildir:~/domains/%d/%n/.Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME= It appears this fixes the problem for new mail arriving (haven't tested other folders yet). Questions: 1. Is this a deliberate change in behaviour between the two versions? If so, may I suggest adding this change to the Upgrading to 2.0 wiki page, because I was unable to find the relevant info quickly. If not, is this a misconfiguration on my side, or a (known) bug in one of the two versions? 2. Is the DIRNAME=(empty) a good solution, or is it unusual/hacky to leave DIRNAME empty? Any particular problems I may expect using this configuration? Thanks in advance for your help. -- Kind regards, Martijn

[Dovecot] Info about sharing mail folder
by Gianluca Calloni 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

Hi to all. First of all.. I'm new on the mailing list.. So.. Sorry in advance for any mistake or error on posting here.. The question (or doubt..) is about sharing mail folder. I use a test mail server. Is not the production server (always dovecot + postfix + spamassassin + clamav) Well.. In test mail server i can use the share folder, follow the conf istruction on wiki dovecot. And work fine. But i need to know if is possible for user_a(a)mydomain.com to share only 1 or 2 subfolder (E.g. .INBOX.FOLDER_A and .INBOX.FOLDER_B shared, .INBOX_FOLDER_C not shared) When i do some test sharing folder, the user with wich user_a(a)mydomain.com share the mailbox can view all the subfolder of user_a(a)mydomain.com Following my dovecot versione e config. Thank's in advance My dovecot version is 2.0.19 My dovecot conf is : # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Fatal: open(/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf) failed: Permission denied calloni@dovecot:~$ sudo -i [sudo] password for calloni: root@dovecot:~# dovecot -n # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.5.0-49-generic i686 Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS ext4 dict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 150 last_valid_uid = 150 mail_gid = mail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u mail_plugins = acl mail_uid = vmail namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { list = yes location = maildir:%%h:INDEX=~/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)jodovit.local protocols = " imap pop3" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = mail mode = 0600 user = vmail } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } Thi

Thanks for the suggestion, we have had another occurrence of the wrong ownership on the dovecot-uid today.

Not offhand, but if you want a remote tool, it ought to be simple to cobble together some feeder script and netcat (or openssl s_client). It will also be simpler if you configure the master password feature so you don't have access to all user passwords. So something like this for dumping the INBOX contents #!/bin/sh master-user=masteru master-password=masterp while read user server; do netcat --ssl $server 993 <<_EOF_ >${user}.report 1 LOGIN ${user}*${master-user} ${master-password) 2 SELECT INBOX 3 ... 4 LOGOUT _EOF_ done I don't know enough IMAP to fill in "3 ..." to dump all headers, but I'm sure it's not hard to find out. It's even simpler if you don't need to do it remotely: just use doveadm fetch -A hdr MAILBOX '*' Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] list all emails from command line?
by Tomasz Chmielewski 03 Jun '14

03 Jun '14

This is not strictly Dovecot question, but a more general IMAP one. I'm running a Dovecot server and have a user who is claiming that some email sent to him, say, on 30 May, showed up in his mailbox on 02 Jun. I've checked Postfix logs, and the message was correctly received on 30 May and passed to Dovecot. A similar issue happens every few days. This leaves me with two possibilities: 1) Dovecot is somehow not presenting the new mail to the user in a "timely manner" 2) user's email program is broken Therefore, I wanted to do some kind of "IMAP list" of the account, with a command line tool: - specify username, pass and server, - the tool would return a list of all email in their folders (message ID, From, To, Date, Subject). I would run it i.e. daily and this would let me verify when the mail was really visible in the account. Is anyone aware of a tool I could use to achieve that? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://www.sslrack.com

[Dovecot] dovecot: lda(foo): Error: User foo doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database

Hello everyone, I have a small problem with dovecot installed on ubuntu-13.10. I use dovcot as LDA with a LDAP-passdb and a pam-passdb. The userdb is static.

Can someone explain how I can create message rules to use with this version of Dovecot? I specially switched to this version because it supports then Pigeonhole Sieve. I would like to volunteer to contribute as a volunteer when someone would like to create a html driven user interface that provides a user friendly configuration interface and would make such configuration a piece of cake. -- Best regards, Jos Chrispijn --- Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.1.13: some questions about the mail-filter plugin
by Axel Luttgens 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Looking at mail_filter_mailbox_allocated() of src/plugins/mail-filter/mail-filter-plugin.c: if ((class_flags & MAIL_STORAGE_CLASS_FLAG_OPEN_STREAMS) == 0 && (class_flags & MAIL_STORAGE_CLASS_FLAG_BINARY_DATA) != 0 && muser->out_socket_path != NULL) v->save_begin = mail_filter_mail_save_begin; it seems that a backend with MAIL_STORAGE_CLASS_FLAG_OPEN_STREAMS unset and MAIL_STORAGE_CLASS_FLAG_BINARY_DATA set is expected by the plugin. Technically, this would thus exclude the mbox backend, since its flag configuration seems to be exactly the opposite: struct mail_storage mbox_storage = { .name = MBOX_STORAGE_NAME, .class_flags = MAIL_STORAGE_CLASS_FLAG_MAILBOX_IS_FILE | MAIL_STORAGE_CLASS_FLAG_OPEN_STREAMS | MAIL_STORAGE_CLASS_FLAG_HAVE_MAIL_GUIDS, [...] Is this a correct interpretation? If yes, what is the rationale? I couldn't find any info related to such a limitation in the docs; the README file of http://dovecot.org/patches/2.2/mail-filter.tar.gz even says: "Mail filter plugin can read an email from any storage supported by Dovecot and modify the mail in some way"... All of this stems from my attempts to have working mail filters when I was trying to better understand the behaviors Stanislas was describing in a recent thread... Hence another question; in sdbox-storage.c, the definition of the "alias" for sdbox comes with: struct mail_storage dbox_storage = { .name = "dbox", /* alias */ .class_flags = MAIL_STORAGE_CLASS_FLAG_FILE_PER_MSG, [...] The initialization of member class_flags seems to be incomplete, when compared to the one for the name "sdbox". A typo? On the other hand, Stanislas showed a configuration with mail_location = dbox:/mailboxes/%Ld/%Ln and seemed to have a working mail filter. If above interpretation is correct, this would mean that the "alias" definition isn't used, but that the one for "sdbox" is used instead. Out of curiosity, how/where is that substitution achieved? Regards, Axel

[Dovecot] Combining userdbs
by Bubreg István 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hi, I think that using more than one userdb with setting the result actions doesn't work as expected from the documentation. The goal would be to set user-specific quotas for a few users with a specific passwd-file like this : cat /etc/dovecot/quotas foo:x::::::userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=2G The first userdb is passwd (with pam passwd): userdb { driver = passwd result_failure = return-fail result_internalfail = return-fail result_success = continue-ok skip = never } The second one is for the specific quota userdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/quotas driver = passwd-file result_failure = continue result_internalfail = continue result_success = return-ok skip = notfound } User 'foo' exists in (pam) passd, but there's no place to store his own quota rule, that's why came handy to use a second userdb for storing just one extra field. That's working quiet well, he default quota is overriding form passwd-file. BUT: I've played a lot with changing the result_* and the 'skip' parameters, but none of them worked in the situation where a user ('bar') _only_ exists in passwd (and has to use the default quota config). doveadm quota get -u bar says doveadm(bar): Fatal: User doesn't exist With changing the parameters this error has gone, but the second userdb doesn't used for user 'foo' - even if the parameters are : userdb { driver = passwd result_failure = return-fail result_internalfail = return-fail result_success = continue <-- in theory, the next userdb is coming skip = never } userdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/quotas driver = passwd-file result_failure = continue result_internalfail = continue result_success = return-ok skip = notfound } My question is that how should i set the result_* and 'skip' parameters to solve this : - there's a default quota rule in the config - some (a few) users has a larger quota - there's no way to store the user-specific quotas in the 'real' userdb (because it's pam/passwd) Thank you for your effort. # dovecot -n # 2.2.13 (de9b10f2e168): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.11.0-15-generic i686 Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = " quota" managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave duplicate namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap sieve" service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service managesieve { process_limit = 1024 } ssl = no ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd result_failure = return-fail result_internalfail = return-fail result_success = continue-ok } userdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/quotas driver = passwd-file result_failure = continue-ok result_internalfail = continue-ok skip = notfound } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota }

[Dovecot] Disabling plus sign extension delimiter in lmtp listener (or userdb)
by Benoit Panizzon 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hello We have migrated our email services from a server, which did not support IMAP and folders, therefore threated the plus sign + as a normal character in a part of an email address. Our new server delivers the emails via lmtp to dovecot. the few users which got a + character in the username first could not log-in (fixed by adding + to auth_username_chars). Now the next problem turn out to be, that the lmtp listener stripps everything after the + sign. The MTA correctly sends the whole email address, so it's not the MTA's fault. It can easily be tested by connecting to the dovecot LMTP listener IP address by telnet: 220 grautvornix.imp.ch Dovecot ready. mail from:<nobody> 250 2.1.0 OK rcpt to:<b+enoit(a)iscan.ch> 550 5.1.1 <b+enoit(a)iscan.ch> User doesn't exist: b(a)iscan.ch I could not find any configuration parameters for the lmtp listener or userdb service to tell it what to do with the + sign. Did I miss something, or is it impossible to have the + sign accepted as a normal character in an email address? Kind regards -Benoit-

[Dovecot] Upgraded my dovecot?
by Knute Johnson 31 May '14

31 May '14

I upgraded my server from Ubuntu 12.04LTS to 14.04LTS and it upgrade my dovecot too. Probably should have thought about that a little more before I pushed the button but oh well. So it didn't work when it came back up and I had to add a "inbox=yes" line to my namespace in 15-mailboxes.conf and that fixed it. So is there anything else I should update in my config files for this newer version of dovecot? # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-30-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } protocols = " imap" service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 0 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 0 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { imap_capability = IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS mail_max_userip_connections = 30 } Thanks,

[Dovecot] ot: identifying TB IMAP issues
by voytek＠sbt.net.au 31 May '14

31 May '14

I have a user with with W7/TBird/IMAP to my dovecot 2.1.17 server, the user complains whilst he is composing lengthy emails (with multiple fowrds/replies quoted in the message) he gets 'hour glass' over compose windows with some message about not being able to save drafts, he then powers off ADSL modem, which enables him to continue composing email, powers on ADSL, and sends email what if anything can I assess at server end to identify any issues? any TB tips, what to enable or disable on TB ? looking at dovecot now (past the issue) with 'doveadm who' I don't see the user listed I think the user keeps many messages open concurrently in TB tabs, could that exhaust connection limit ? I expect this to be a TB issue? but, hope for some pointers

by Andy Dills 31 May '14

Hi there, We recently upgraded to 2.2.12 (the current version in FreeBSD's port tree), and are seeing these errors in our logs (not super frequently, but it happens): May 30 13:20:57 mail1 kernel: pid 15752 (imap), uid 1005: exited on signal 6 May 30 13:20:57 mail1 dovecot: imap(xxx): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 15752 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped - set service imap { drop_priv_before_exec=yes }) I tried manually upgrading to 2.2.13, on the off chance that was fixed, but I couldn't get the new pigeonhole (0.4.3) to compile once I did (perhaps why the FreeBSD port maintainer hasn't updated yet?). Suggestions? Right now we just check every couple of hours for affected users, and then delete all of the dovecot files for the affected user, which ends the error. Thanks, Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---

As others have intimated, the use of procmail as your LDA is causing your mailbox to become inconsistent with respect to your indices. Procmail is appending your messages to mailboxes, but is ignorant of the existence of dovecot indices, and does not update them. When your IMAP service access those mailboxes, it detects this condition, and that's the log messages you are seeing. I think those messages are benign -- you can probably ignore it. Dovecot will automatically rebuild them. The alternative is to let dovecot's be responsible for message delivery: it can then update the indices, and IMAP/POP will find consistent indices. Try this at the end of procmailrc for regular delivery to the INBOX ################################################################################ # Replace default action using dovecot-lda to maintains caches. ################################################################################ :0 w | /location/of/dovecot-lda -d $USER For for non-INBOX filtering, try something like :0 Hw *^Subject: TEST |/location/of/dovecot-lda -d $USER -m testbox Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Hey guys, I am getting the following error. It seems not be be severe, since my setup works without any signs of drawbacks. But I'd rather rely on a professional opinion. May 28 23:02:54 example dovecot: auth: Error: open(/var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat.tmp) failed: Permission denied May 28 23:02:54 example dovecot: auth: Error: Failed to write auth token secret file; returned tokens will be invalid once auth restarts Thanks in advance Chris

> * ^List-Id:.*users.lists.fedoraproject.org > | $DELIVER -m $DESTDIR/MLists/Fedora You removed the '-d' parameter -- it may or may not work without it, but you'll need it in a virtual user setup. I'm not sure whether procmail sets $USER by itself or it gets passed as an environment variable, so if $USER is not working, use $LOGNAME, or better yet, just hardcode the value if this is your own script. Also, the -m parameter is the name of a mailbox, not a pathname, so I think "MLists/Fedora" is what you want. > This is what I found in the procmail log: > lda: Fatal: destination user parameter (-d user) not given Well, this error couldn't be more explicit, can it?

[Dovecot] dovecot 2.1.15 hangs while connecting.
by Albert Whale 28 May '14

28 May '14

I am using Dovecot in two Server environments. My Legacy (5 years+ old) servers are running dovecot 1.1.20, and are responding as expected. These servers are using an NFS based storage for the /home directory structure, and are working beautifully. However, I need to replace these inefficient servers, and get more current. That brings me to the problem, where I am implementing Dovecot 2.1.15, which does not complete the authentication cycle. I have converted the 1.1.20 configuration using the documentation available, and I have the following for my running configuration (which is not working): # 2.1.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.8.13.4-server-1.mga3 i686 Mageia 3 auth_debug = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no lock_method = dotlock login_greeting = SpamZapper Email ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c mail_debug = yes mail_fsync = always mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_privileged_group = mail mmap_disable = yes passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { user = root } service imap-login { chroot = login client_limit = 256 user = dovecot } service pop3-login { chroot = login client_limit = 256 user = dovecot } ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 pop3_logout_format = top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } I have captured the Debug output of the dovecot process while attempting to connect: May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=pop3#011session=IzAYqGT6pgBCz4Xk#011lip=66.207.133.227#011rip=66.207.133.228#011lport=110#011rport=38566#011resp=<hidden> May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: auth-worker(551): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: auth-worker(551): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libdriver_mysql.so May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: auth-worker(551): Debug: pam(aewhale,66.207.133.228): lookup service=dovecot May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: auth-worker(551): Debug: pam(aewhale,66.207.133.228): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0111#011user=aewhale May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST#0112671116289#011453#0111#01174d85bf0d878139a83e682a869786da9 May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: auth-worker(551): Debug: passwd(aewhale,66.207.133.228): lookup May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER#0112671116289#011aewhale#011system_groups_user=aewhale#011uid=501#011gid=501#011home=/home/aewhale May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<aewhale>, method=PLAIN, rip=66.207.133.228, lip=66.207.133.227 May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: pop3(aewhale): Debug: Effective uid=501, gid=501, home=/home/aewhale May 27 13:02:10 ns dovecot: pop3(aewhale): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/aewhale/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/aewhale/Maildir, alt= All processing stops here.

[Dovecot] Corrupted Mail?
by Arthur Dent 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hello All, I have a Dovecot v2.2.12 installation running on a Fedora 20 box which is the mailserver for my family. This means that it is serving only 4 accounts. I use fetchmail->procmail to feed Dovecot and I read my mail on clients such as Evolution on (another) Fedora 20 machine, iPad/iPhone or squirrelmail on the web (running on the same Fedora 20 server). The average mail throughput for the whole family is around a couple of hundred messages per day, but each (and every) day I get between 3 and 10 of the following messages: dovecot: imap(mark): Error: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file /home/mark/mail/MLists/Fail2Ban at 3407473: 1 Time(s) I have googled, but with little success. What I have found seemed to suggest that removing the .index files and allowing Dovecot to rebuild them will solve this. I did: find /home -type f -name "dovecot.index.*" -exec rm -f {} \; but it has made no difference. Can anyone help me solve this please? Thanks in advance Mark

[Dovecot] dsync changing source permission to "root" in backup mode
by Peter Mogensen 27 May '14

27 May '14

Hi, We have dsync failing once in a while when running in "backup" mode. What's strange is that the result is that the file permissions on the *source* machine ends up with the wrong permissions (set to uid 0). Even though the dsync manual clearly says: "Backup mails from default mail location to location2 (or vice versa, if -R parameter is given). No changes are ever done to the source location. Any changes done in destination are discarded." Running: 'dsync -R -o mail_home=/users/maildir backup ssh -c arcfour src-host "dsync -o mail_home=/users/maildir"' I know it's running as root, but even then ... it shouldn't modify the source in "backup" mode ?? The error message from dsync when failing is: dsync-remote(root): Error: Cached message size larger than expected (5292 > 5289) dsync-remote(root): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /users/maildir/.Sent/cur/1381224782.M959810P3574.mail,S=5292,W=5411:2,S to /users/maildir/.Sent/cur/1381224782.M959810P3574.mail,S=5289:2,S dsync-remote(root): Error: Corrupted index cache file /users/maildir/.Sent/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 1040 dsync-remote(root): Error: dsync(dst-host): read(/users/maildir/.Sent/cur/1381224782.M959810P3574.mail,S=5292,W=5411:2,S) failed: Cached message size larger than expected (5292 > 5289) /Peter

[Dovecot] Segfault when deselecting virtual folder 2.2.13+ HG TIP
by Colin Knox 27 May '14

27 May '14

Hello, I'm seeing a segfault in the imap process with the current mercurial tip (including changeset 17382 e99cd21e1f92) when selecting a particular virtual mail folder (but no other virtual mailboxes) and then selecting a different mail folder as in the IMAP transcript below. The same segfaults are triggered with IMAP clients. The situation is worse with the 2.2.13 which segfaults when any virtual mailbox is deselected so the recent patch helps partially. Configuration summary, IMAP session in gbd including backtrace and virtual mailbox spec follow. Any ideas what's causing this?

[Dovecot] Odd ownership of the dovecot-uidlist file
by dclist.hook＠hook.net.nz 27 May '14

27 May '14

Hi, We have just recently switched from Courier to Dovecot for both IMAAP and POP access for our shared hosting platform, and while the issues we have been seeing with Courier have gone away a new one has popped up. Unfortunately googling for an answer is difficult as it falls into the ownership and permissions category which people seem to have all the time. But in those cases it always happens, whereas what we are seeing is a random ownership change on the dovecot-uidlist file. Basically what we see is the user is able to login fine for days and then all of a sudden the file has changed ownership to a user under a different domain, what's worse is the other user has not even logged in during that time. Here's a snippet from a case from a month ago which was escalated to us, there are plenty of other examples but its so random we only know its happened when the customer complains or we happen to watch the logs, the current help desk procedure when the customer calls is to just fix the ownership of the file. -- 8<-- Mar 25 11:18:05 brio dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<accounts@DOMAIN1>, method=PLAIN, rip=IP, lip=IP, mpid=21739, TLS, session=<mwQLnGH1ZAB2XalI> Mar 25 11:18:08 brio dovecot: pop3(accounts@DOMAIN1): Disconnected: Logged out top=0 (0 b), retr=4 (274142 b), messages=27 (10797760 b), del=0 Mar 25 11:19:24 brio dovecot: pop3(accounts@DOMAIN1): Error: open(/mnt/spool/keepers/t/DOMAIN1/accounts/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Permission denied Mar 25 11:19:24 brio dovecot: pop3(accounts@DOAMIN1): Error: open(/mnt/spool/keepers/t/DOMAIN1/accounts/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Permission denied -- 8<-- In this case the ownership of the file was: -rw------- 1 jacqui-30747 DOMAIN2 48839 Mar 25 10:31 dovecot-uidlist when it should be: -rw------- 1 accounts-25105 DOMAIN1 48839 Mar 25 10:32 dovecot-uidlist As you can see both the user and the group have changed to a different user as if that user had recreated the file. Its worth noting that the parent directory does not change: drwx------ 8 accounts-25105 DOMAIN1 4096 Mar 25 10:31 . so this user should not even be able to access this file. It would be great if someone can give us some hints where the problem maybe as this has us stumped. Some more detail if it helps: root@brio:~# dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.2 auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 apop auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@& default_process_limit = 3000 disable_plaintext_auth = no lock_method = dotlock mail_fsync = always mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/home/indexes/%1d/%n@%d mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = " quota" maildir_stat_dirs = yes mmap_disable = yes 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 = INBOX. separator = . subscriptions = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-cram.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota } protocols = " imap pop3" service imap-login { inet_listener imap25 { port = 25143 } } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login -d /usr/local/bin/postlogin.sh } service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop325 { port = 25110 } } service pop3 { executable = pop3 imap-postlogin } ssl_cert = </var/www/mailadmin/ssl/cert.pem ssl_crypto_device = dynamic ssl_key = </var/www/mailadmin/ssl/mailx.hosts.net.nz.key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-cram.conf.ext driver = sql } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { imap_capability = +XHOST_brio imap_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota" } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 pop3_lock_session = no pop3_logout_format = top=%t (%p b), retr=%r (%b b), messages=%m (%s b), del=%d pop3_save_uidl = yes pop3_uidl_format = %f } root@brio:~# dpkg -l|grep dovecot ii dovecot-core 1:2.1.7-7 amd64 secure mail server that supports mbox, maildir, dbox and mdbox mailboxes ii dovecot-imapd 1:2.1.7-7 amd64 secure IMAP server that supports mbox, maildir, dbox and mdbox mailboxes ii dovecot-mysql 1:2.1.7-7 amd64 MySQL support for Dovecot ii dovecot-pop3d 1:2.1.7-7 amd64 secure POP3 server that supports mbox, maildir, dbox and mdbox mailboxes Mailbox storage is done over various NFS stores, however each user has a specific NFS store Connections are load balanced using LVS and keepalived over approx 10 real servers, persistant connections are setup so that a single user should only hit a single dovecot server (this is different from our courier setup due to the known NFS limitations with dovecot) We also have IMAP indexes stored on the dovecot servers ext3 file system itself rather than NFS. Each server is setup and maintained by puppet, and any one of the servers may see the issue. All servers are x86 with at least 2Gb of RAM User information comes from a MySQL database, and testing the SQL statements only ever return the correct record. Exim is writing to the Maildir with the correct permissions, and after fixing the ownership of the file dovecot can read and change the mailboxes. We do have a postlogin.sh script which runs after authentication to convert the old courier files over to the dovecot ones, this only happens however when the process has not run before (it appears dovecot deletes the files and recreates them, so we use a state file). Adding debugging to the script shows its running as the correct user at the last successful login. It does not run at all after the ownership has changed. There are some users who this is happening regularly, and other users who it has happened to only once. It is also not just limited to POP3, although this is where we commonly see it as dovecot accepts the IMAP connection if the ownership on a sub folders uidlist is different. If you need any further detail, I can provide it. Debugging could be much more difficult because of how random it is, while it can happen daily there have been periods of up to one week before its seen. Any help in finding this would be greatly appreciated, Cheers, Bruce

[Dovecot] Incorrect IMAP search results when FTS/Squat indexes are present with 2.1.7
by Robert L Mathews 27 May '14

27 May '14

We recently upgraded from Dovecot 1.2.15 (on Debian squeeze) to Dovecot 2.1.7 (on Debian wheezy/stable). For now, we continue to use FTS with Squat indexes. We'd like to eventually switch to Lucene but it's not yet supported in Debian stable. Since upgrading to 2.1.7, we've seen some problems with IMAP search results when an FTS Squat index is present (i.e., when the "dovecot.index.search" and "dovecot.index.search.uids" files are present). If it's present, even header searches sometimes give incorrect results (such as searches on FROM or SUBJECT headers). I'm wondering if this is a known issue with 2.1.7 and whether upgrading to a later version of Dovecot with Squat is likely to fix this (due to, say, <http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2012-June/020881.html>), or if Squat in all versions is a lost cause and I need to switch to Lucene. I can demonstrate the problem by showing the results of three searches on my mailbox. First, here are the correct results for header FTS searches when no "dovecot.index.search[.uids]" file is present: ---- .

[Dovecot] LDAP: allow pop3, restrict imap
by Andreas Schulze 26 May '14

26 May '14

Hello, I have all userdata in a ldapserver. Every user has the right to use pop3. There is no explicit attribute allowing that. It's simply possible. Now I like to add imap. For a starting period I like to restrict, who may use imap. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/RestrictAccess mention a solution where I could modify ldap pass_filter. But that require an attribute "service=pop3" to be present in the ldap servers. In my case I have to add it for every existing user :-/ No way... Are there other options? Thanks, Andreas

[Dovecot] socket /var/spool/postfix/private/auth not created
by lister171254 26 May '14

26 May '14

I'm on Ubuntu 13.10 and followed these instructions http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL to configure Dovecot for Postfix. No matter what I try, the listener is not created. <http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/file/n48182/32.png> dovecot -n does not show the listener (I guess that's why its not created) This is the extract from the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf --------------- service auth { # auth_socket_path points to this userdb socket by default. It's typically # used by dovecot-lda, doveadm, possibly imap process, etc. Users that have # full permissions to this socket are able to get a list of all usernames and # get the results of everyone's userdb lookups. # # The default 0666 mode allows anyone to connect to the socket, but the # userdb lookups will succeed only if the userdb returns an "uid" field that # matches the caller process's UID. Also if caller's uid or gid matches the # socket's uid or gid the lookup succeeds. Anything else causes a failure. # # To give the caller full permissions to lookup all users, set the mode to # something else than 0666 and Dovecot lets the kernel enforce the # permissions (e.g. 0777 allows everyone full permissions). unix_listener auth-userdb { #mode = 0666 #user = #group = } # Postfix smtp-auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0600 user = postfix group = postfix } # Auth process is run as this user. #user = $default_internal_user } ---------------- Postfix is not involved in this right now as I expect the socket to be created when I restart dovecot. Can't find any meaningfull errors in the logs either. I hope I'm missing something obvious Thanks, Leo -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/socket-var-spool-postfix-private-auth-… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Copies of outgoing emails in the Sent folder
by Dmitry Podkovyrkin 26 May '14

26 May '14

Hi! My mail server works in tandem: Dovecot (IMAP) + Postfix. How can I configure in Gmail: Outgoing email copied to the Sent folder using postfix without mail client? This question is for the mailing list for Postfix? Mail client itself copies outgoing messages in the folder Sent, but the messages are large, and the server is far away. And to transmit email twice for sending and copying is not effective. Sorry for my English ). -- Regards Dmitry Podkovyrkin mobile: +7 922 20 56 756 email: dmirty(a)rutelecom.company skype: dmitryrw

[Dovecot] Multilayer mail handling
by Jimmy Thrasibule 26 May '14

26 May '14

Hi, I'm wondering what is the correct architecture and configuration to setup a multilayer mail handling? What I have in mind is something more like what we can found in Web platform architectures. 1. First layer does first checks: user authentication and SSL offloading. If all checks are OK request is proxied to layer 2. 2. Second layer, will actually handle the IMAP/POP3 connection proxied by layer 1, no major checks should be done as already made by layer 1. 3. Finally, layer 3 to do some virus checks on the emails and maybe some other things I can't think about. Do you have some pointers on how to set up such a mail stack where each layer can be on multiple other hosts? Best regards, Jimmy

[Dovecot] Index cache errors worse with 2.2.x
by Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth 25 May '14

25 May '14

Hi! I am getting "Cached message size smaller than expected" errors since dovecot-2.1.x. Until now, I thought that those errors don't do any harm, I assumed that the cache will just be rebuilt after the error had been detected. However, since dovecot 2.2.x (I tried 2.2.7 and 2.2.10), the errors sometimes seem to actually cause mail access to fail. With dovecot-2.1.1, only the first two messages were logged, since using 2.2.7 and 2.2.10, the "read ... failed: Invalid argument" sometimes appear: -------------------- 8< -------------------- May 7 17:03:52 samba dovecot: imap(xyz): Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (2246 < 2247) May 7 17:03:52 samba dovecot: imap(xyz): Error: Corrupted index cache file /home/xyz/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 11277 May 7 17:03:52 samba dovecot: imap(xyz): Error: read(/var/mail/xyz) failed: Invalid argument May 7 17:03:52 samba dovecot: imap(xyz): Error: read(/var/mail/xyz) failed: Invalid argument (uid=11277) -------------------- 8< -------------------- I am using dovecot on RHEL6 with mbox mailboxes. Message size differences are always 1 byte. Any hints would be appreciated! Cheers, --leo P.S.: Those errors occur some times a day and affect different users..

[Dovecot] dsync incredibly slow
by Alan McGinlay 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hi! While performing a dsync from cyrus imap to dovecot 2.2.12, dsync seems to stop for perhaps a minute without disk / cpu / memory activity (that I can see). This happens several times per sync per user so it takes an enormous amount of time to sync just a couple of gigs of mail. dsync -D -v -o mail_fsync=never mirror -f -R -u user(a)example.com imapc: What could possibly be the cause of this slowness? Is it protocol dependent or just dsync it's self? Thanks!

[Dovecot] Dovecot ontop of glusterfs issue.
by Eliezer Croitoru 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hey, I am testing Glusterfs as a storage backend for dovecot as a LDA and imap server. I have seen similar lines in the logs to these: May 21 10:46:01 mailgw dovecot: imap(eliezer(a)ngtech.co.il): Warning: Created dotlock file's timestamp is different than current time (1400658105 vs 1400658361): /home/vmail/ngtech.co.il/eliezer/Maildir/.Mailing_lists.ceph_users/dovecot-uidlist May 21 10:46:01 mailgw dovecot: imap(eliezer(a)ngtech.co.il): Error: Transaction log /home/vmail/ngtech.co.il/eliezer/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: duplicate transaction log sequence (2713) The volume is mounted only by one server with ubutntu 14.04. I have seen threads and posts about similar issue with nfs. I want to try to debug the issue but note that with the same settings of the server nfs worked fine but slower. dovecot -n output: http://pastebin.centos.org/9626/ The glusterfs is a replicated volume constructed of two bricks which is mounted only on one dovecot server. All three servers are using the same ntp pool and are synced. Any direction is better then the state I am now. Thanks, Eliezer

[Dovecot] director with same director / backend servers
by Will Yardley 23 May '14

23 May '14

I know this has been covered somewhat, but I'm still not totally clear. I'm trying to setup a 3 node cluster with 3 directors and 3 backend systems. This post (from 2012) suggests that proxy_maybe should work with director: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-December/069806.html However, these two posts (from 2013) seem to say that it will not: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-November/093776.html http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2013-November/093809.html When I try to just set =proxy_maybe=y in my LDAP config's pass_attrs, and not have an explicit 'director' listener for pop3-login / imap-login, it complains about lack of a host. May 22 14:28:08 XXXX dovecot: pop3-login: Error: proxy: host not given: user=<XXXXXXX>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Guessing the answer is "no", but is there any way (with v 2.x) to have one regular "listener" for imap / pop3, and one "director" listener for each as well, using the same instance of Dovecot? Has anyone gotten this to work successfully? I'm using LDAP, and do not want to explicitly specify a host for each username, I just want director to balance users across the 3 hosts. Obviously, I can just create two instances, but not only does this make the config more convoluted (especially following the convention of having the config files broken out into a bunch of files), but means I have to modify the default init script to really do it cleanly (something we were doing on the older iteration of this system that I had really been hoping to avoid). I'm assuming it's not possible to simply have the listeners for 'foo-login' execute something different depending on the port? I tried a couple different ways of configuring this, but it didn't seem to work. Dovecot is version 2.0.9 from RHEL 6. w

[Dovecot] When the subject portion of an e-mail contains a control character, dovecot.sieve terminates unexpectatedly.
by Atsuko Tanaka 22 May '14

22 May '14

Hello. We have currently set dovecot.sieve to insert the text "[SPAM]" at the beginning of an e-mail's subject when it's X-Spam-Score is above 80%. After we set our system as stated the following errors occur: 1) When an e-mail's subject contains control characters like [Ctrl+V|^V], dovecot.sieve terminates with an error and an e-mail is not able to be sent. When a MIME encoded Subject like [ＴＥＳＴ^VＭＡＩＬ] is sent we're not able to edit the subject and dovecot ends with an error. This is a sample of the data that was used in testing. Subject: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCI1QjRSNTI1QbKEIWGyRCI00jQSNJI0wbKEI=?= X-Spam-Score: 100.00% ↓ Subject: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCI1QjRSNTI1QbKEIWGyRCI00jQSNJI0wbKEI=?= X-Spam-Score: 100.00% This is the log generated by the data above. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sieve: info: started log at May 02 10:46:22. main script: line 14: error: addheader action: specified value `[SPAM] ＴＥＳＴ?・・' is invalid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aside from [Ctrl + V] the following control charcters also cause errors: backspace Ctrl + A Ctrl + C Ctrl + [ Ctrl + X Ctrl + Y 2) When an e-mail's subject line contains a "\0" character, everything following the null character is deleted. When a MIME encoded Subject is sent, for example "ＴＥＳＴ\0ＭＡＩＬ", the subject becomes "[SPAM]ＴＥＳＴ", the characters after the NULL character are deleted and dovecot.sieve ends normally.

[Dovecot] Sieve fileinto extension and redirect action

Hello, Is there any way to limit the use of the "redirect" action (local user only or silent ignore) as provisioned by the RFC in the Pigeonhole implementation ? The only way I found for the moment is to completely disable the fileinto extension which hardly beat the users experience. "redirect" is forbidden by my organization policy. Regards, Emmanuel.

[Dovecot] LMTP hostname ignoring ENV variables
by G H 21 May '14

21 May '14

I am having an issue with LMTP appending the local hostname to received mail from Postfix. I either want to append localhost, a custom string, or nothing at all. Looking through the source code, I believe I should be able to set "export DOVECOT_HOSTNAME" and "export DOVECOT_HOSTDOMAIN" in my initscript to override the hostname set in lmtp/commands.c, client_get_added_headers() I'm using Centos 5; my hostname is mailtest1.atest.qq -- it is not defined in /etc/hosts. The added header is below: Received: from mail.mailorxyz.de by mailtest1.atest.qq (Dovecot) with LMTP id sreUK1+sfFOseQAAPYI4hw for <admin(a)mailorxyz.de>; Wed, 21 May 2014 13:39:03 +0000 Received: by mail.mailorxyz.de (Postfix, from userid 97) id CC743116AB5; Wed, 21 May 2014 13:39:03 +0000 (UTC) I have the following defined in /etc/init.d/dovecot: export DOVECOT_HOSTDOMAIN=dovecot.mailorxyz.de export DOVECOT_HOSTNAME=dovecot.mailorxyz.de Am I missing something or did I misunderstand the source code?

Does the first occurence show some code being excessive somehow? Thanks. MU

[Dovecot] allow_nets + default + ldap
by Andreas Schulze 21 May '14

21 May '14

Hello, I'm playing with allow_nets function. It is really cool! In a filebased passwd backend you simply add "allow_nets=192.0.2.143/32" as mentioned in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/AllowNets But if I use an LDAP backend it looks different. Following http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/AuthBinds and http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/Userdb#Attribute_templates_.28v2… my pass_attrs looks this: pass_attrs = =user=%{ldap:uid}, \ =allow_nets=%{ldap:allownets} Using this syntax I could add an attribute "allownets" in the ldapserver to limit access for a user. A problem occour if the attribute is not present. For example if a user should not be limited or only some but not any user should be limited. So I extend my pass_attrs with a default. pass_attrs = =user=%{ldap:uid}, \ =allow_nets=%{ldap:allownets:10.0.0.0/8} Again, that's fine. Any user was allowed to connect from my private network. But then some users connect via ipv6. I tried to extend my default to pass_attrs = =user=%{ldap:uid}, \ =allow_nets=%{ldap:allownets:10.0.0.0/8,fec0::/16} That syntax, a comma separated list, produces errors no matter if quoting using " or ' or no quoting at all. So I looked at the source (thanks, it's open!) and wrote a little patch to allow simple defaults: - ALL -> allow any address - NONE -> deny any address Now I could write pass_attrs = =user=%{ldap:uid}, =allow_nets=%{ldap:allownets:ALL} or pass_attrs = =user=%{ldap:uid}, =allow_nets=%{ldap:allownets:NONE} to allow or deny any ldap account not having an attribute allownets. Maybe there are other solutions, but that's my way... Andreas

[Dovecot] Dict SQL lookups without username_field
by Andrew Beverley 20 May '14

20 May '14

Dear all, Is it possible to perform dict lookups with a SQL backend, without specifying the username_field in the SQL query? I am using the dict to retrieve a Sieve script. My dict configuration looks like this: map { pattern = priv/sieve/data/$id table = sieve_scripts username_field = email value_field = data fields { id = $id } } I don't want to specify the username though, as the sieve scripts are valid for all users. However, when I remove "username_field" I get the error "data with id `1' for script `main script' not found at path priv/sieve/data/1" Thanks, Andy

[Dovecot] Performing an action on mail receipt
by Andrew Beverley 20 May '14

20 May '14

Dear all, I would like to perform an action for certain users each time a mail arrives via LMTP. I would like to send an email notification to an external email address when new mail has arrived for certain users (note: not a forward). I am assuming that creating my own plugin using the existing "notify" plugin is the way to go. However, before I go down that route, I'd like to check that is the best approach? Or would it be better to perform this sort of thing before the mail reaches Dovecot? Assuming writing a plugin is answer, do they have to be written in C? Dovecot version: 2.1.7 Thanks, Andy

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2.13+ and master user db
by Juan C. Blanco 20 May '14

20 May '14

Hello, I'm upgrading one of our servers to the last HG 2.2.13 versión and I've found some problems with our configuration which has been working fine with previous versions. We have a LDAP userdb for the users and a master userdb for user assistance, Until now the definition of usersdb in 10-auth.conf was: !include auth-master.conf.ext !include auth-system.conf.ext !include auth-ldap.conf.ext With the 2.2.12 version this worked fine but with 2.2.13+ version the LDAP users can't login in dovecot (IMAP), however the master users can login fine. However, if I comment out the master userdb or change the order, i.e. !include auth-system.conf.ext !include auth-ldap.conf.ext !include auth-master.conf.ext In this case LDAP and master users can login normally. Is this configuration change required for the new version or it's a bug? Follows the log sections for both configurations Regards Juan C.

[Dovecot] / vs. </
by Boris 19 May '14

19 May '14

The default configuration file for Dovecot in Debian uses: ssl_cert = </path/to/cert I checked my current configuration and I use: ssl_cert =/path/to/cert What is the difference? (pipe?) And is the former better somehow?

[Dovecot] logging of failed SASL usernames
by Reindl Harald 19 May '14

19 May '14

as far as i understand postfix has no way to know the username of such failed logins like below, IMHO dovecot internally does because it verifies against the sql-userdatabase is there a way that dovecot logs the username? after ask the users to change their passwords for safety caused by Heartbleed it was easy to write a tool find forgotten devices in case of IMAP/POP3 but especially Apple clients force to enter the new password seperated for incoming and outgoing server and don't tell the user if things don't work so there is really a need support them and fuzzy logic based on the last successful IMAP/POP3 login from a IP and failed send attempts from the same IP shortly after receive mail leaves a bad taste of only a guess May 18 11:19:09 mail postfix/smtpd[5173]: warning: unknown[177.139.182.86]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6 May 18 11:19:15 mail postfix/smtpd[5173]: warning: unknown[177.139.182.86]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6

[Dovecot] Configuration of dovecot 2.0.19 to authenticate users via LDAP
by Danylo Esterman 19 May '14

19 May '14

I am trying to get dovecot 2.0.19 authenticate users via LDAP (OpenLDAP 2.4.28) and using Wireshark to debug the process. It looks like the basic configuration of dovecot is fine, but it doesn't pull it off to send the right request to the LDAP server. First of all, this is how my LDAP-entries look: # ht dn: dc=ht objectClass: top objectClass: dcObject objectClass: organization o: ip dc: ht # admin, ht dn: cn=admin,dc=ht objectClass: simpleSecurityObject objectClass: organizationalRole cn: admin description: LDAP administrator userPassword:: e1NTSEF9cFY1b0ZZVUhack1aRTVvaUg1T3c2cytVWHV4aUNvaHI= # people, ht dn: ou=people,dc=ht objectClass: organizationalUnit objectClass: top ou: people # groups, ht dn: ou=groups,dc=ht objectClass: organizationalUnit objectClass: top ou: groups # ipusers, groups, ht dn: cn=ipusers,ou=groups,dc=ht gidNumber: 500 cn: ipusers objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: top # Max Mustermann, people, ht dn: cn=Max Mustermann,ou=people,dc=ht cn: Max Mustermann givenName: Max gidNumber: 500 homeDirectory: /home/users/mmustormann sn: Mustermann objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: top uidNumber: 1000 uid: mmustermann userPassword:: e01ENX1ETUYxdWNEeHRxZ3h3NW5pYVhjbVlRPT0= loginShell: /bin/bash mail: mustorm(a)test.com Now, I use the following configuration for dovecot (/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext) hosts = 10.1.2.1 dn = cn=admin,dc=ht dnpass = a auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=people,dc=ht ldap_version = 3 scope = subtree base = ou=people,dc=ht user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) This is what I see in Wireshark: http://i.stack.imgur.com/ICzDe.png Dovecot cannot authenticate itself for some reason... If i change the configuration as follows: auth_bind = no #auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=people,dc=ht Then I get following picture: http://i.stack.imgur.com/tb5vo.png It doesn't pick up the setting base = ou=people,dc=ht. But what is more crucial is that even looking at the whole tree "<ROOT>" wholeSubTree it can't find the required entry. I am really desperate and don't know how to make it work. Can somebody please give me a clue how to solve this problem?

[Dovecot] Signal 11 with dovecot-lda
by Jim Dishaw 19 May '14

19 May '14

dovecot version: 2.2.13 NetBSD 5.1 on an amd64 architecture Based on the log file, I think this problem first manifested itself when I upgrade from 2.2.9 to 2.2.12. I tried to go back to 2.2.9, but I would have had to rollback some of the other dependencies. I built 2.2.13 and the problem still exists. Mail gets successfully delivered, but the sender get a non-delivery message. I've hacked a temporary workaround to prevent the non-delivery from being sent by having the bounce service run discard instead of bounce.

[Dovecot] RFE: please add Return-Path: to sieve sent mail headers
by Maciej Uhlig 18 May '14

18 May '14

May I ask to add Return-Path: some meaningful header line to sieve sent mail headers in vacation message? Now the header line isn't generated at all and the effect is as follows: on receiving MTA: 2014-05-09T15:04:32+02:00 host/ip postfix/qmgr[2408]: 41F2F6024E: from=<>, size=900, nrcpt=1 (queue active) in received mail body: Return-Path: <> Would be nice to get: Return-Path: <user@domain> Copy of From: header line could be sufficient. Thanks. MU

[Dovecot] antispam plugin doesn't recognize spam folder
by Paul DiSciascio 18 May '14

18 May '14

After a recent upgrade to dovecot 2.2.9 (caused by an ubuntu upgrade to 14.04), the antispam plugin has stopped recognizing my spam folders as spam. I see the plugin initializes properly, but when moving a message, the mailbox_is_spam() function always returns 0. The version of dovecot-antispam that ships with ubuntu is 2.0+20130822-2build1. I also compiled the latest version in the git repository (last update 9/12/2013) and had the same results. This worked fine prior to the upgrade, with dovecot version 2.0.19 and dovecot-antispam version 2.0+20120225-2. Here are the logs from initialization: May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: plugin initialising (2.0-7-gabdad24) May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: verbose debug enabled May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: "SPAM" is exact match spam folder May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: "Spam" is exact match spam folder May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: "Junk" is exact match spam folder May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: no unsure folders May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: "trash" is exact match trash folder May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: "Trash" is exact match trash folder May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: "Deleted Items" is exact match trash folder May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: "Deleted Messages" is exact match trash folder May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: dspam binary set to /usr/bin/dspam May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: dspam extra arg --user May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: dspam extra arg thenut(a)bytemonkey.net May 18 07:48:45 lebeau imap: antispam: signature header line is "X-DSPAM-Signature" And then from the message move: May 18 07:50:06 lebeau imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(SPAM): 0 May 18 07:50:06 lebeau imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(INBOX): 0 May 18 07:50:06 lebeau imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(SPAM): 0 May 18 07:50:06 lebeau imap: antispam: mail copy: from trash: 0, to trash: 0 May 18 07:50:06 lebeau imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(INBOX): 0 May 18 07:50:06 lebeau imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(SPAM): 0 May 18 07:50:06 lebeau imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(INBOX): 0 May 18 07:50:06 lebeau imap: antispam: mail copy: src spam: 0, dst spam: 0, src unsure: 0 Clearly mailbox_is_spam(SPAM) should return 1.

[Dovecot] Feature Request doveadm acl command
by Thomas Leuxner 18 May '14

I have switched to global ACLs for public namespaces which eases their administration greately. Now while running housekeeping scripts (e.g. expunge old mails/archive mails etc.) this requires temporary overriding the global ACLs with mailbox specifix ACLs to expunge mails. The scripts would then revoke the temporary changes (delete flags) and the global ACL would take precedence again. Ideally I would want to get rid of the 'dovecot-acl' file after the scripts ran so the global ACL kicks in. There seems to be no interface command to purge 'dovecot-acl' files so this is handled by the scripts for now: [...] # Get actual path of dovecot-acl file and remove it as it is handled by global ACL acl_path=$(doveadm acl debug -u $mailbox_owner "$source_mailbox_base/$1" 2>&1 | sed -n "s/$.*$$debug_acl_mailbox_path//p") [ -f $acl_path/dovecot-acl ] && rm $acl_path/dovecot-acl It would be nice if purging a specific dovecot-acl would be handled by doveadm to avoid custom-scripting.

[Dovecot] User not found when using shadow for passdb
by John J. Stimson III 17 May '14

17 May '14

I am getting "user unknown" when trying to connect to the dovecot server using IMAP. The client gets an authentication failed message and does not download mail. The host system uses shadow passwords in /etc/shadow. I would like to use the same passwords for IMAP sessions, so I have set the passdb driver to shadow. The system is Slackware, which does not use PAM. Here is the dovecot version and configuration output: # dovecot -n # 2.1.17: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.6.5 i686 Slackware 13.1.0 auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_verbose = yes namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = blocking=no driver = shadow } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { user = root } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = blocking=no driver = passwd } Here are the dovecot auth_passwd_debug level log messages when the client tries to connect: May 2 09:05:07 harlie dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth May 2 09:05:07 harlie dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=22181) May 2 09:05:07 harlie dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH^I1^IPLAIN^Iservice=imap^Isecured^Isession=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP^Ilip=96.229.223.7^Irip=10.0.0.181^Ilport=993^Irport=51898^Iresp=zxywvutsrqponmlkji== May 2 09:05:07 harlie dovecot: auth: Debug: shadow(john,10.0.0.181,<ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP>): lookup May 2 09:05:07 harlie dovecot: auth: shadow(john,10.0.0.181,<ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP>): unknown user May 2 09:05:09 harlie dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL^I1^Iuser=john May 2 09:05:09 harlie dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts in 2 secs): user=<john>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.0.0.181, lip=96.229.223.7, TLS, session=<ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP> The user john is a real account on the host machine and has entries in both /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.

[Dovecot] Problems setting up extprograms in combination with crm114
by Patrick Winnertz 16 May '14

16 May '14

Hello, I've troubles to configure sieve correctly to call the mailreaver script in order to parse mails for spam. I've the task to migrate a existing procmail setup to a sieve setup, and to keep the mail filtering step within sieve. I've added in /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve-filters/ a script called "mailreaver", which contains basically only one line - calling the right mailreaver.crm script: exec /usr/share/crm114/mailreaver.crm -u ~/.crm114 This script is then called in the sieve file using "filter "mailreaver". Indeed the script is invoked for every mail, however the signature is appended at the very end of the mail, not at the end of the header. Invoking the /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve-filters/mailreaver manually this way: cat test-email | /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve-filters/mailreaver or this way: /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve-filters/mailreaver < test-email results in both cases in a correct formatted way, so I don't know what is going wrong here. Adding a | tee /tmp/test-output resulted in the complete mail in /tmp/test-output, as I first thought that maybe the headers are not piped into the script - but this seems to be not the case obviously. Does anybody has a clue, as this seems not to be related to crm114 (as it obviously works on cmd), but to the way sieve calls this script. Or it would help to understand how the external filtering program is called - maybe my assumptions are wrong here (or I've simply missunderstood the documentation available online). Greetings Winnie
