Just a guess, but I expect the difference is because NetApp de-dupes by checksumming blocks and mark whole blocks as duplicates if they have the same checksum. The message body has the same block offset in maildir (i.e. the start of a message is at byte 0), whereas mdbox might align message body anywhere in a block, so you might have 512 different block configurations for the same message. I don't know whether message alignment would be a worthwhile optimization for mdbox. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Everything costs less than a NetApp...except an EMC. > If anyone has any first-hand experience (or even > off-the-top-of-their-head thoughts), I'd love to hear them) Distributed filesystems give you the advantage of a single filesystem namespace with massive amounts of storage, fairly easy addition of storage space, and distributed replication to allow failure of a storage node without service interruption. Replication mitigates node failure, but not disk failure, so you still need RAID in each node. So you have RAID6 in a node and filesystem block mirroring amongst nodes. Thus storage utilization is -worse- than direct attach, CFS on SAN, or NFS head attached RAID10 and far worse than RAID6 in these 3 setups. And if using large SSD cache you'd surely use RAID6 with DAS, CFS, or NFS. You'd need half as many disk drives vs DFS. Each DFS expansion, assuming the typical model, entails the cost of a server, RAID HBA (unless using md) and disks, not strictly buying disks as with DAS, CFS/SAN, or NFS filer. Then you also need more switch ports, more power connections, greater UPS capacity due to all the CPUs, RAM, etc in the nodes. And you'll have a higher electric bill. So while a distributed filesystem storage architecture may seem less expensive it may not be. And just as one can build a DIY DFS cluster, one can also build a DIY NFS cluster instead of buying a NetApp, saving significant cash on the front end box and on disks since you'd need half as many vs a distributed filesystem architecture, though failure of one node may not be quite as graceful as with a NetApp losing a controller board. -- Stan

[Dovecot] Replication - what am I doing wrong?
by IT geek 31 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Hi, I'm having issues getting replication working, and I'm not also not having much luck finding help on it. So I'm wondering... am I not asking the right questions? Or am I not providing enough information... or do we just not know how this aspect of the technology works? If it's the former, then any pointers on what questions to ask or information to provide would be very helpful. If the community genuinely doesn't know how this works then that's okay too - I will look at another solution (if one exists) and try to move on. But if I can get this working then that would be amazing as I really like Dovecot and would be gutted to move away from it. -Mark

[Dovecot] managesieve - point me in the right direction?
by erik 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Hi, I am using Dovecot 2.1.16. I'm trying to get Roundcube to talk to the managesieve plugin. Postfix/Dovecot/Roundcube all exist on the same server. I'd like to get managesieve working. I've gone through a few guides, such as: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/dovecot#Sieve But so far roundcube won't connect to the managesieve plugin. ("Cant reach server"). I see that port 4190 is listening and I can telnet to that port: Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.

I'm not sure what else to check. Any help appreciated!

Hey guys, i have a weird problem i'm trying to fix since 5 months now, but i really couldn't find any explanation, why this happens and how it can be fixed.

This is the error i'm always getting when my client tries to get new mails, which i want to get rid off: http://sprunge.us/NZhf Jan 25 11:49:30 old dovecot: auth-worker(15979): Debug: sql(root(a)hallowe.lt,81.217.212.85): query: SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'root(a)hallowe.lt' Jan 25 11:49:30 old dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: OK#0111#011user=root(a)hallowe.lt Jan 25 11:49:30 old dovecot: auth-worker(15979): Debug: sql(root(a)hallowe.lt,81.217.212.85): SELECT CONCAT('maildir:/var/vmail/',maildir) AS mail, 1000 AS uid, 1000 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'root(a)hallowe.lt' Jan 25 11:49:30 old dovecot: auth: Debug: master out: USER#0113983671297#011root@hallowe.lt#011mail=maildir:/var/vmail/hallowe.lt/root/#011uid=1000#011gid=1000 Jan 25 11:49:30 old dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<root(a)hallowe.lt>, method=PLAIN, rip=81.217.212.85, lip=10.111.56.107, mpid=17606, TLS, session=<rQGqOsnwuABR2dRV> Jan 25 11:49:30 old dovecot: imap(root(a)hallowe.lt): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home= Jan 25 11:49:30 old dovecot: imap(root(a)hallowe.lt): Debug: quota: No quota setting - plugin disabled Jan 25 11:49:30 old dovecot: imap(root(a)hallowe.lt): Debug: maildir++: root=/var/vmail/hallowe.lt/root, index=, control=, inbox=/var/vmail/hallowe.lt/root, alt= Jan 25 11:49:30 old dovecot: imap(root(a)hallowe.lt): Panic: file index-mailbox-check.c: line 75 (index_mailbox_check_add): assertion failed: (box->notify_min_interval > 0) Jan 25 11:49:30 old dovecot: imap(root(a)hallowe.lt): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4414a) [0x7f858118714a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4418e) [0x7f858118718e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f858115e82a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x99027) [0x7f858146b027] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x4ccc9) [0x7f858141ecc9] -> dovecot/imap(cmd_idle+0x66) [0x7f8581907c96] -> dovecot/imap(command_exec+0x3c) [0x7f858190dedc] -> dovecot/imap(+0x11f2e) [0x7f858190cf2e] -> dovecot/imap(+0x11fda) [0x7f858190cfda] -> dovecot/imap(client_handle_input+0x11d) [0x7f858190d23d] -> dovecot/imap(client_input+0x65) [0x7f858190db35] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x36) [0x7f8581194016] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xa7) [0x7f8581194cc7] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x7f8581193a28] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f8581180483] -> dovecot/imap(main+0x297) [0x7f85819053e7] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f8580dd7ead] -> dovecot/imap(+0xa561) [0x7f8581905561] Jan 25 11:49:30 old dovecot: imap(root(a)hallowe.lt): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 17606 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) I asked for this in the irc already but got no answer.

[Dovecot] outlook will not sync
by Eric Broch 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Dovecot users list, I started having problems with Outlook not syncing with Dovecot a public imap folder upon issuing a send/receive in the client; eventually Outlook timed out, and I received the following error in the Dovecot log. Jan 23 09:20:23 imap(user(a)mydom.com): Error: FETCH [] for mailbox projects.myfolder UID 120 got too little data: 7744 vs 7759 Jan 23 09:20:23 imap(user(a)mydom.com): Error: Maildir filename has wrong W value: /home/vpopmail/domains/mydom.com/shared/projects/.myfolder/cur/1384292337.M440452P9788.mail.mydom.com,S=265901,W=269597:2,Sc Jan 23 09:20:23 imap(user(a)mydom.com): Error: Corrupted index cache file /home/vpopmail/domains/mydom.com/shared/projects/.myfolder/dovecot.index.cache: Broken virtual size for mail UID 120 Jan 23 09:20:23 imap(user@mydom): Info: Disconnected: FETCH failed bytes=175/270387 However, I've since removed the file manually, deleted the old folder and recreated it and Outlook will still not sync even in the absence of the above error.

[Dovecot] dovecot produces messages dupes after nfs problems
by Patrick Westenberg 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

Hi everyone, some days ago I had trouble with my NFS-Server (high delays) which caused dovecot lmtp to deliver the same message several times (up to 10x). I recognized some old/unused .nfsXXXX files in the maildirs which seemed to be index files. I deleted them and everything was fine again. However, there are still 2-3 mailboxen where mails (old and new ones) are delivered multiple times. All duplicates have no "received from" headers. Seperate lmtp log shows only one delivery.

[Dovecot] Architecture for large Dovecot cluster
by Murray Trainer 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

Hi All, I am trying to determine whether a mail server cluster based on Dovecot will be capable of supporting 500,000+ mailboxes with about 50,000 IMAP and 5000 active POP3 connections. I have looked at the Dovecot clustering suggestions here: http://blog.dovecot.org/2012/02/dovecot-clustering-with-dsync-based.html and some other Dovecot mailing list threads but I am not sure how many users such a setup will handle. I have a concern about the I/O performance of NFS in the suggested architecture above. One possible option available to us is to split up the mailboxes over multiple clusters with subsets of domains. Is there anyone out there currently running this many users on a Dovecot based mail cluster? Some suggestions or advice on the best way to go would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Murray

hi, i tried to setup my configuration to use the SETQUOTA command but the only thing i got is: 3 setquota "User quota" (storage 12345) 3 OK Setquota completed. but nothing is changed in database. i modified the password_query and the user_query to return the admin and userdb_admin field, both set to y. all other changes that are done are like in the wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration enabling debug doesn't show anything in debug.log

[Dovecot] Dovecot imap-postlogin failed
by Sayajin 24 Jan '14

24 Jan '14

*** This is 2 posts combined into one which I had asked on linuxquestions.org and never got an answer *** Hi, In short I am trying to run a bash script which will then update a mysql database with the last login date/time & last IP for each mailbox. I have searched google dead but still cant figure out what im doing wrong or if there is some issue with the centos 6 rpm's for dovecot. -- - 1st i had the default dovecot in the centos 6 repo's which is version: 2.0.9 - I read that there was an issue with the script-login binary which was fixed in version 2.0.14, so i updated dovecot to version 2.2.7. - This sadly did not fix my issue with the bash script excecuting. In my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf i have the following service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login /var/www/lighttpd/mail-admin/scripts/lastLogin.sh } But when i try login i still get the same error as with the previous version: - Nov 27 14:44:36 dovecot: imap(MaIlBoX(a)DoMaIn.co.za): Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/imap-postlogin) failed: No such file or directory - One thing i did notice on the one site was that someone had a ls of their /var/run/dovecot directory, and in there was a binary called imap-postlogin. - But i dont have that binary anywhere on my server, with the old or new version of dovecot. Please any help would be appreciated. ===================================================== ===================================================== Ok well i tried a few other things and got it working a bit more.

[Dovecot] Writing an FTS plugin
by John Morrissey 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hi, I'm having some trouble writing an FTS plugin that uses notmuch (http://notmuchmail.org/) as the backend. As a proof of concept, I'm adding a hardcoded UID to the search results in the plugin's lookup handler: seq_range_array_add(&result->definite_uids, 1, 42); but this UID is never returned by IMAP SEARCH commands. I know the plugin is being used, since I'm also syslogging immediately before the call to seq_range_array_add(). Interestingly, SEARCH commands return correct results (based on the mailbox content and the search terms specified), but I'm not sure where those results are coming from. The notmuch plugin is the only configured FTS plugin: mail_plugins = $mail_plugins fts fts_notmuch plugin { fts = notmuch } What might I be doing wrong? Additionally, notmuch returns message filenames, which I'll need to translate to UIDs. I've seen maildir_uidlist_get_uid(), but I'm not sure where to get the struct maildir_uidlist arg it needs. notmuch only supports the Maildir format, so using a maildir_* function seems a reasonably safe assumption, but is there a better way? john -- John Morrissey _o /\ ---- __o jwm(a)horde.net _-< \_ / \ ---- < \, www.horde.net/ __(_)/_(_)________/ \_______(_) /_(_)__

[Dovecot] Problem with LDA. When vacation auto-reply sent, the field from=<>.
by Dmitry 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hi, My problem is that when vacation auto-reply sent the field from=<> Because of this does not work "sender_dependent_relayhost_maps" in postfix. My scheme is: There are several postfix on different machines 1.1.1.1 - domain1 2.2.2.2 - domain2 3.3.3.3 - domain3 All they send messages to one server virtual_transport = lmtp:10.10.10.10:24 where mail is stored. In 10.10.10.10 installed dovecot 2.2.9, dovecot-pigeonhole 0.4.2 and another posfix In postfix inet_interfaces = 10.10.10.10 sender_dependent_relayhost_maps = hash:$config_directory/relayhost_maps relayhost_maps @domain1 [1.1.1.1] @domain2 [2.2.2.2] @domain3 [3.3.3.3] Sieve script make from Roundcube require ["vacation"]; # rule:[autoreply] if true { vacation :days 1 :subject "Test." "Test."; } (if add [":from" string] nothing changes) The letter comes, script fulfills, vacation auto-reply sent. But either /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -f <> -- user@senddomain or, if write in 15-lda.conf submission_host = 10.10.10.10:25 postfix log Jan 1 00:00:00 mail pf-OUT/cleanup[6098]: 4CD104A8A4: message-id=<dovecot-sieve-1390316174-295666-0@mail> Jan 1 00:00:00 mail pf-OUT/qmgr[5950]: 4CD104A8A4: from=<>, size=693, nrcpt=1 (queue active) How to make dovecot and dovecot-pigeonhole write in field MAIL FROM:?

[Dovecot] IDLE dropping EXISTS events on mass message arrival
by Eric Wong 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hi, I'm not sure if this is some throttling/DoS protection or a bug. I didn't see notice anything like it mentioned looking at the NEWS file from hg, this is on 2.1.7 on Debian stable. I have a client doing IDLE on INBOX.vomiteer. When individual messages arrive with some time interval in between them, I get EXISTS events for each message as expected. However, when I store a bunch of messages at once (via tag + mass copy in mutt on a fast-ish connection), I get a few EXISTS events (sometimes one, sometimes two) even though I copied a lot of new messages over. I expected to get an EXISTS event for each message which arrived, but perhaps there's some sort of DoS/throttling mechanism. strace -t -s4096 output of the dovecot process below: fd=13 is inotify, you'll see large read(13, ... indicating multiple filenames from inotify. However, only one EXISTS message got written to the socket. I've filtered out the gettimeofday syscalls for brevity. 07:30:02 epoll_wait(9, {}, 6, 3937) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/cur", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/new", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/new", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/cur", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/dovecot.index.log", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=25920, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 fstat64(10, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=25920, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 epoll_wait(9, {}, 6, 7865) = 0 07:30:14 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [1], 4) = 0 07:30:14 write(11, "* OK Still here\r\n", 17) = 17 07:30:14 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [0], 4) = 0 07:30:14 time(NULL) = 1390289414 07:30:14 epoll_wait(9, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=4159555408, u64=4159555408}}}, 6, 22124) = 1 07:30:17 read(13, "\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\t\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94623P14841.dcvr,S=1580,W=1619:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\n\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94624P14841.dcvr,S=1580,W=1619:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\v\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94625P14841.dcvr,S=1422,W=1460:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\f\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94626P14841.dcvr,S=1422,W=1460:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\r\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94627P14841.dcvr,S=1861,W=1907:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\16\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94628P14841.dcvr,S=1861,W=1907:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\17\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94629P14841.dcvr,S=4732,W=4854:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\20\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94630P14841.dcvr,S=4732,W=4854:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\21\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94631P14841.dcvr,S=4028,W=4128:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\22\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94632P14841.dcvr,S=4028,W=4128:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\23\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94633P14841.dcvr,S=3865,W=3968:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\24\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94634P14841.dcvr,S=3865,W=3968:2,S\0\0", 32768) = 768 07:30:17 epoll_wait(9, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=4159555408, u64=4159555408}}}, 6, 499) = 1 07:30:17 read(13, "\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\25\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94635P14841.dcvr,S=4092,W=4189:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\26\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94636P14841.dcvr,S=4092,W=4189:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\27\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94637P14841.dcvr,S=1517,W=1552:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\30\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94638P14841.dcvr,S=1517,W=1552:2,S\0\0", 32768) = 256 07:30:17 epoll_wait(9, {}, 6, 498) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/new", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/cur", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/dovecot.index.log", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 fstat64(10, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 pread64(10, "\200\200\200\207@\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0$\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\200\200\200\214\0\1\0\20\0\0$\0\337!\336R\344\231\2L\0\0\0\0\t\"\336R\t\"\336R\0\0\0\0\t\"\336R\0\0\0\0007\n\0\0\200\200\200\204 \0\0\20@\0\4\0\234e\0\0\200\200\200\242\2\0\0\20\317\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\320\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\321\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\322\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\323\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\324\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\325\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\326\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\327\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\330\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\331\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\332\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\333\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\334\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\335\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\336\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\200\200\200\207@\0\0\20\1\0\0\0\0\260\2L\0\0\0\0\4\0\4\0\1\0\0\0\200\200\200\242\0\2\0\20\317\0\0\0\250\275\0\0\320\0\0\0\234\277\0\0\321\0\0\0|\301\0\0\322\0\0\0|\304\0\0\323\0\0\0\200\307\0\0\324\0\0\0|\312\0\0\325\0\0\0h\315\0\0\326\0\0\0\\\320\0\0\327\0\0\0\224\323\0\0\330\0\0\0\210\325\0\0\331\0\0\0h\327\0\0\332\0\0\0h\332\0\0\333\0\0\0l\335\0\0\334\0\0\0h\340\0\0\335\0\0\0T\343\0\0\336\0\0\0H\346\0\0\200\200\200\204 \0\0\0200\0\4\0\337\0\0\0", 8192, 25920) = 408 07:30:17 pread64(10, "", 8192, 26328) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/dovecot.index.log", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 fstat64(10, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 time(NULL) = 1390289417 07:30:17 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [1], 4) = 0 07:30:17 write(11, "* 32 EXISTS\r\n", 13) = 13 07:30:17 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [0], 4) = 0 07:30:17 epoll_wait(9, <unfinished ...> (Nothing happened after this) #

This is probably easy but how would a set a secret static master password so that if I typed it in for any login it would be happy? I can't use the * separator method in this case because it screws up squirrelmail.

[Dovecot] Failure in doveconf
by Andrew Ray 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

I ran into a problem while configuring dovecot. Quickly reading the paragraph below, I saw "yes" as one of the options, and put that into the config, as below: # In case of password mismatches, log the attempted password. Valid values are # no, plain and sha1. sha1 can be useful for detecting brute force password # attempts vs. user simply trying the same password over and over again. # You can also truncate the value to n chars by appending ":n" (e.g. sha1:6). auth_verbose_passwords = yes The result from doveconf -n was: doveconf: Error: x�η doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: 0pη (where the error message was always a changing, apparently random set of characters.) So I managed, by going back through the config file and commenting out options, to find this was the problem and then finally read what are the acceptable values. Any other place that I have tried to give a non acceptable value I get a reasonable error message with line number and problem. Well, now I fixed my original problem, but something needs to be adjusted in the error handling code.

[Dovecot] forwarded message is broken in 2.2.10 with pigeonhole-0.4.2
by Burckhard Schmidt 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hi, forwarding a message with sieve like redirect:copy "me(a)other.domain"; was working without any problem until dovecot-2.1.17, dovecots lmtp and dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.5.

[Dovecot] Dovecot doesn't seem to report all subfolders to Thunderbird
by dovecot＠voidptr.de 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hi, I've recently migrated my emails from a Yahoo account to my own mailserver on a VPS. Ever since then, Thunderbird seems to have issues with the mailbox's directory structure: When I start Thunderbird, it immediately deletes the local copies of all 3rd-level folders (i.e. subfolders of a subfolder of a folder in the mailbox root). Since that didn't happen with the Yahoo account, I assume it's some kind of error or misconfiguration of Dovecot. Here's an example of the mailbox structure: voidptr.de '-> University '-> IEEE '-> Conference "University" and "IEEE" work without problems, but "Conference" gets deleted locally every time I start Thunderbird. When I collapse and re-expand "University" in the folder panel, all subfolders (including "Conference") reappear, but Thunderbird has to re-download the contents of "Conference", since it deleted the local copies earlier. It looks as if Dovecot only reported the topmost two folder levels when Thunderbird requests a folder list... Is there any way I can change that behavior? Nils $ doveconf -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-042stab078.22 x86_64 Debian 7.3 auth_verbose = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs namespace { inbox = 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 = subscriptions = yes } passdb { args = scheme=SHA512-CRYPT username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocols = " imap" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 0 } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/own/voidptr.de.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/certs/own/voidptr.de.key userdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/users default_fields = home=/home/%n driver = passwd-file }

[Dovecot] A variable for the unix user or home path would be useful in some cases
by interfaSys sàrl 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hello, In our hosting environment, we let users share mailboxes across all their domains and think it's best if the shared mailbox listing (in a file) stays in their unix home path. That would be: /home/USER/imap/shared-mailboxes.db Unfortunately, it seems there is no way to generate that path using a variable. Something like this would be convenient: acl_shared_dict = file:%v/imap/shared-mailboxes.db Instead, we have to use something like this: acl_shared_dict = file:~/../../../shared-mailboxes.db which only works for virtual users. Did somebody solve this another way? Could we have the unix user or home path as a variable? Or could we have a modifier giving us the path or the unix user based on the unix UID? Cheers, Olivier

Re: [Dovecot] imap abort after upgrade from 2.2.4 to 2.2.7
by morrison 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

When I did upgrade, 2.2.7 was the latest release. When I ran into the problem, I checked back and found 2.2.8 and 2.2.9 were released shortly one after another. It seemed these releases were sort of buggy. I would like to know if what I described in my previous email was an known issue and was addressed before upgrade to 2.2.10. We are using dovecot as our internal mail service. So stable is most important to us. Regards,

[Dovecot] auth_default_realm, pam_krb5, gssapi
by Sergey Urushkin 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi, Just writing here my note about auth_default_realm, pam_krb5 and gssapi. It seems that 'pam' passdb and 'gssapi' auth_mechanism doesn't honor 'auth_default_realm' setting, at least in several setups I deal with. Here is a part of the config: passdb { args = max_requests=100 cache_key=%u%r dovecot driver = pam } auth_default_realm = REALM.COM auth_mechanisms = plain login apop gssapi auth_username_format = %Uu The problem is that pam_krb5 strips default realm from username (by default), even if auth_default_realm is specified and even if user logs in as 'user1(a)realm.com' (with domain part). A part of auth.log: mail auth: pam_krb5(dovecot:auth): user USER1 authenticated as USER1(a)REALM.COM The same for GSSAPI auth, if specified authorization name doesn't contain domain part. A part of mail.log: mail dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<USER1>, method=GSSAPI, rip=172.16.0.1, lip=192.168.1.1, mpid=5828, TLS, session=<bpzvRmDwPACsFwCX> For several reasons I do need username inside dovecot to contain domain part. So, I found a solution to this problem - modifying /etc/krb5.conf this way: [libdefaults] default_realm = REALM.COM [realms] REALM.COM = { auth_to_local = RULE:[1:$1@$0] } This will add realm part to the local username despite using default realm. Maybe it's better to put this example to the wiki? Tested with ubuntu 12.04 and dovecot 2.2.10, mit kerberos 1.10, amd64. Taking the opportunity, I'd like to ask, is there a way to make usernames case insensitive while using GSSAPI. The case: klist shows: Principal: user1(a)REALM.COM username in thunderbird 'uSer1(a)REALM.COM'. Dovecot gives me this message (I use auth_username_format=%Uu for pam_krb5 to be able to login with lowercase realm): dovecot: auth: gssapi(USER1(a)REALM.COM,172.16.0.1,<IIgwMGbw3ACsFgA4>): User not authorized to log in as USER1(a)REALM.COM As I know kerberos usernames are case insensitive (user part), at least kinit and windows against AD works that way. Seems that k5credentials passdb extra field will not help here too. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks. -- Best regards, Sergey Urushkin

[Dovecot] Shared Folters with LDA/Sieve
by Dieter Knopf 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

Hello, i'm searching for a way to use Shared mailboxes with Sieve Filtering. I need global email addresses like: info(a)foo.tld contact(a)foo.tld help(a)foo.tld Every address with own Sieve-rules for filtering and sorting of incoming mails. Now every user needs access to this folders, but how? How should i create the "global" addresses? I already found http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Public , but that's just a public namespace. Is there any FAQ available for this? Thank you very much Dieter

[Dovecot] Sizing MTA servers
by Murray Trainer 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hi All, This is probably a bit off-topic but does anyone have any idea about sizing MTA servers. We have about 200,000 emails/hr incoming and outgoing. I am intending using Exim and Spamassassin on each MTA. How many servers using recent hardware would I need to cope with this mail throughput? What is more important on the servers, CPU or RAM? Should I have mail going both directions on each server or dedicate a pair each for incoming and outgoing mail> Thanks for any feedback. Murray

[Dovecot] doveconf base_dir
by Andreas Schulze 18 Jan '14

18 Jan '14

Hello, today I run the command "doveadm auth cache flush" for the first time. # doveadm auth cache flush doveadm(root): Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecotauth-master) failed: No such file or directory 0 cache entries flushed # base_dir was the only item contain 'run' and it did not end with a / So I tried to set base_dir to /var/run/dovecot/ and could now rerun "doveadm auth cache flush" without problems. I compile dovecot from source and found --with-rundir=/var/run/dovecot as an option to configure. I changed to /var/run/dovecot/, recompile and removed the base_dir setting in dovecot.conf again. Now "doveadm auth cache flush" work out of the box. doveconf -d base_dir is var/run/dovecot/. Finaly I compiled dovecot with --localstatedir=/var and removed --with-rundir from configure. The resulting package had again base_dir = /var/run/dovecot so "doveadm auth cache flush" don't work. looks like somewhere the missing / should be added in case base_dir has no trailing / without special configuration.

[Dovecot] imap abort after upgrade from 2.2.4 to 2.2.7

Hi, I used to use dovecot 2.2.4. I saw lots of warnings saying 'Extension header update points outside header size'. I upgraded to dovecot 2.2.7, based on the discussion in mail list. Now, I see lots of imap aborts around: src/lib-index/mail-index-transaction-export.c:203: i_assert(u32.offset + u32.size <= ext_hdr_size); I also noticed, in some mailbox, imap process kept abort until all index files in the mailbox were manually deleted. Did someone run into the same problem and any solution to this? Thanks,

[Dovecot] Changing user specific configs one at a time using userdb text file to override defaults...
by Charles Marcus 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi all, Ok, I'm now interested in testing converting users one at a time to mdbox+SIS, but want to make sure I understand how to do this. It appears the best way - for smaller installations at least - is to just use a simple text file userdb to override the defaults, then once all of the users have been converted, change the defaults and remove the userdb txt file overrides. So, would love to hear details from others who have done something like this. Thx! -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] Getting more out of the %w variable.
by Julian PG 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hello Dovecot community, I have a backend database application that handles all system wide user authentication (from web to mail and more). Passwords are not stored in plain text. So I would like to support more than PLAIN. Perhaps at least CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 for example. Even though connections over TLS are encouraged (and even enforced). Some MUA and users still think its a better idea than PLAIN (even sent over an encrypted session). I have a vague memory of getting some warnings with thunderbird in regards to the use of PLAIN. Of course the %w variable would have to include the challenge as well as the response. Or perhaps even a seperate variable for the challenge? Or course at the moment the %w variable is an empty string for anything other than PLAIN. This would make some users and MUAs happy (even though pointless over TLS - I agree). Your thoughts would be appreciated. Regards, Julian. -- Not time for sigs!

[Dovecot] Received: header showing 127.0.0.1 after switch to dovecot LDA?
by Charles Marcus 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hi all, I'm guessing this is correct behavior, but wanted to make sure... I noticed that for locally delivered messages (between 2 local users inside our domain, so they never leave the server), the first Received: header line content changed after I switched to the dovecot LDA. Before, using postfix/virtual for delivery, the header looked like this: Received: from [192.168.1.25] (client.example.com [192.168.1.25]) by smtp.example.com (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 67E33A20542; Wed, 6 Jun 2012 10:55:55 -0400 (EDT) But now it looks like this: Received: from [127.0.0.1] (client.example.com.com [192.168.1.14]) by smtp.example.com (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id 4EEF7802AF325 for <me(a)example.com>; Wed, 15 Jan 2014 18:29:17 -0500 (EST) so, 2 questions... 1. Why does it show 127.0.0.1 instead of the client IP, and 2. Why did postfix/virtual include the "for <me(a)example.com>;" but the dovecot LDA doesn't? Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] EAGAIN in dict proxy
by Richard Platel 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hello, We’re using a custom program to manage quotas talking to dovecot via the dovecot dict proxy protocol over a unix socket: plugin { quota = dict:User quota::proxy:/var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/quotasocket:quota } Dovecot gets slammed with quota requests periodically, seemingly because Thunderbird thought it would be a good idea to hardcode having a quota check at 45 seconds past the minute, and thus every Thunderbird client makes several GETQUOTAROOT requests simultaneously. This causes dovecot to make many client connections to the quota proxy, and many of them fail with EAGAIN. In the log we see: Jan 15 16:52:46 imap25 dovecot: imap(rplatel(a)tucows.com): Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/auth_proxy_dovecot/quotasocket) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable And the client gets: * QUOTAROOT Spam "User quota"[0d][0a] * QUOTA "User quota" ()[0d][0a] * BAD Internal quota calculation error[0d][0a] 19 OK Getquotaroot completed.[0d][0a] Thunderbird transparently disconnects and reconnects at this point but obviously this is not ideal. Writing some toy programs, I found that even making a forked server with several processes doing nothing but accept()ing on the listening socket, with a high number for the listen queue, it’s easy to overwhelm it with simultaneous clients who then get EAGAIN. If the clients do indeed immediately try again, they are successful. (An INET listening socket does not seem to have this problem, incidentally) All of this is a long-winded way of saying that I believe in lib-dict/dict-client.c:client_dict_connect() the call to net_connect_unix should be a call to net_connect_unix_with_retries() with a small timeout. It would also be useful for us if an INET socket could be used.

[Dovecot] int/ext mailserver
by Mr.Pine 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

I 'm using potfix-dovcote as an internal mail server(local.myco.com) and wan to run another potfix-dovcote as an external mail server (myco.com) on Internet.75% of my users should only work internally(no external mail) but the rest of users (25%)should be able to send mail to external network! These users have the same username on myco.com. I use smtp_generic_maps to map int username of these users to ext. one. For eg. All email send by test(a)local.myco.com map to test(a)myco.com. So anyone got these mails can reply them. I know that getmail is the tools that can get mails from users external mailbox and put them into int. mailbox. 1. I have a root access to ext mail server. But do not know my ext user password!. How can I use getmail to move ext mail to internal one?! 2. What is your idea about syncing users password in internal/external mail server?! I think its needed for getmail! 3. How can I restrict my internal users to send mail only internally!? I appreciated any help!! TNX

[Dovecot] restored mails
by Wojciech Giel 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hello, I am running dovecot 2.1 on debian wheezy . We are using maildir format. one of our uses deleted content of INBOX folder during xmass. he wants these messages back. I had these mail on tape.

[Dovecot] Why does dovecot require the {} password sheme even if there is a $ crypt scheme.
by da-dovecotlist-15＠abelonline.de 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

The wiki[1] says: If all the passwords are in same format, you can use default_pass_scheme to specify it. Otherwise each password needs to be prefixed with "{password-scheme}", for example "{plain}plaintext-password". Why doesn't dovecot recognize the crypt scheme identifier ($1$ for MD5-CRYPT, $6$ for SHA512-CRYPT etc.)? At the moment I have to have the following in my db for dovecot to work: {SHA512-CRYPT}$6$salt$passwordhash [1]http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/SQL

[Dovecot] dsync mbox to maildir migration does not delete, deleted e-mails
by A M 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hello, I am planning to migrate all users from mbox to maildir. I am trying to do it with minimum downtime. (~100GB data) All users are currently using POP3. Dovecot version is 2.2.10 (latest). Command used is: dsync -u username mirror maildir:~/Maildir Process I plan is: (omitting steps related to sendmail / procmail) 1) keep dovecot running (with mail_location as mbox) 2) dsync for all users (this may take 3-4 hours or more) 3) (downtime starts) stop dovecot and sendmail (to stop new e-mails) 4) block pop3, imap ports on firewall (so users can not connect) 5) start dovecot (still with mbox) 6) dsync again to sync e-mails arrived between step 2 and 3 7) dsync again (just to make sure!) 8) (downtime ends) restart dovecot (with mail_location as maildir) Now, here is my problem. Lets say there is user joe, who has 50 NEW e-mails in mbox (INBOX). Step 2 perfectly syncs his 50 e-mails to 'new' folder of maildir. Now in the mean time, before step 3, he connected via POP3 and downloaded and deleted 50 e-mails. Now when we reach step 6 (re-sync), what I expected was dsync will detect that 50 e-mails are deleted and it will delete 50 e-mails from 'new' directory of maildir. But that is not happening. 50 e-mails are still there. I fear that these e-mails will be re-downloaded on his Outlook once I switch dovecot to maildir. This will happen for each and every user which will cause huge mess. So how to tell, dsync to delete non-existent e-mails which are no more there in mbox (INBOX)? Thanks in advance, Regards, A M

[Dovecot] Dovecot service not responding after about a week of uptime
by Matthieu 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hello, I am running a dovecot 2.1.13 server and lately it stops responding after about a week of uptime. Simply restarting the dovecot service solves the issue. I tried to look a bit in my maillog file but did not find anything obvious. During the time when the server is not responding I can still see imap-login entries from the connection attempt by my email client. Any help about how to diagnose the problem would be appreciated. Thanks, Matthieu

[Dovecot] Dovecot LMTP does not pass envelope recipient +detail to sieve
by Greg Rivers 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

I found this[1] thread that describes the same problem with dovecot-LDA, but the solution (add X-Original-To: header) has no effect with LMTP. My sendmail LMTP configuration: FEATURE(`local_lmtp',`[IPC]',`FILE /var/run/dovecot/lmtp') Sendmail's address test indicates that sendmail is providing user+detail to LMTP (see below). Except for this problem, dovecot, LMTP, and sieve are all working perfectly. Is there something I'm missing, or is this a bug?

[Dovecot] Sieve - not functioning for additional email aliases.
by Jacek Osiecki 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hi, On one of my servers (old one, version 1.2.5) user reported that vacation message for basic address works fine, but not for the aliases. I know that this is an old version, but we can't simply switch them to the most current dovecot release without preparing and testing everything... So I'm rather asking for help with debugging the case :) This person has email my.name(a)olddomain.pl. However, they are switching to new domain - newdomain.pl - and it is becoming their main brand. So temporarily olddomain.pl is still their "home" domain, but there is a domain alias newdomain->olddomain. The sieve file is simple: forward message and reply with vacation: ---- require ["copy","vacation"]; # rule:[redirect] if anyof (true) { redirect :copy "my.boss(a)newdomain.pl"; vacation :days 1 :addresses ["my.name(a)olddomain.pl","my.name(a)newdomain.pl"] text: I'm unavailable now. Please contact my boss: my.boss(a)newdomain.pl Greetings . ; } ---- When I send email to my.name(a)olddomain.pl - it is sent to my.boss(a)newdomain.pl and I receive the vacation message. When I send it to the alias (my.name(a)newdomain.pl) - none of above is done. Any idea how I can debug it? Running test-sieve does not help - it claims that will simply forward and deliver the message... Greetings, -- Jacek Osiecki joshua(a)ceti.pl GG:3828944 I don't want something I need. I want something I want.

[Dovecot] dict ldap
by me＠electronico.nc 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hello everybody, Dovecot 2.2.6 with LDAP auth against AD (Samba4). I would like to know if it's possible to specify an LDAP transport for dict (something like dovecot-dict-ldap.conf.ext). I'm in need to setup shared mailboxes and if I could query LDAP, that would help a lot. IE : user1 user2 user3 are in OU=group1, so group1 (setup as user in AD) would share its mailbox with user1 user2 and user3. Thanks in advance for your time. Nicolas

[Dovecot] Slow authentication performance when switching folder
by ra＠rz.uni-frankfurt.de 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

Hello, we have a problem with Dovecot 2.2.9 running on an AIX 7.1 and compiled with xlc. At first we configured passdb to use our ldap directory via pam and experienced an Internal login failure like the following one Jan 13 16:20:02 imap-login: Info: Internal login failure (pid=29818948 id=1) (internal failure, 1 successful auths): user=<user>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, TLS, session=<r/P1m9vv5ACNAv6j> I read that this error occurs if the last passdb returns a continue and there is no other passdb to ask. We added two more passdb to rule out that pam is the problem. We added ldap directly and as third a fallback passwd file, but we still get the Internal login failure. As far as i can see this only occurs if i switch to another folder and i´m being reauthenticated. Are there any suggestions on what is going wrong? Any push in the right direction would be appreciated. kind regards Manuel PS: This is the dump of our dovecot configuration file: doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (32768) doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (24579) # OS: AIX 1 00F7B83D4C00 auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890- auth_username_format = %n auth_username_translation = AaBbCcDdEeFfGgHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOoPpQqRrSsTtUuVvWwXxYyZz auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot-imap default_process_limit = 8192 disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 100 info_log_path = /mailbase/dovecot/2.2.9/log/dovecot_imap_debug.log log_path = /mailbase/dovecot/2.2.9/log/dovecot_imap.log login_greeting = University-Frankfurt-IMAP-Horde ready. mail_access_groups = mhs mail_debug = yes mail_fsync = never mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/mail-indexes/%u mailbox_idle_check_interval = 90 secs mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private name = } passdb { args = username_format=%u /mailbase/etc/passwd driver = passwd-file } passdb { args = %s driver = pam } plugin { stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes } service replication-notify-fifo { name = aggregator } service anvil-auth-penalty { name = anvil } service auth-worker { name = auth-worker } service auth-client { name = auth } service config { name = config } service dict { name = dict } service login/proxy-notify { name = director } service dns-client { name = dns_client } service doveadm-server { name = doveadm } service { inet_listener { address = * port = 0 name = imap } inet_listener { address = * port = 993 name = imaps } name = imap-login } service imap-urlauth { name = imap-urlauth-login } service imap-urlauth-worker { name = imap-urlauth-worker } service token-login/imap-urlauth { name = imap-urlauth } service login/imap { name = imap } service indexer-worker { name = indexer-worker } service indexer { name = indexer } service ipc { name = ipc } service lmtp { name = lmtp } service log-errors { name = log } service { inet_listener { address = 10.1.1.40 port = 0 name = pop3 } inet_listener { address = * port = 0 name = pop3s } name = pop3-login } service login/pop3 { name = pop3 } service replicator-doveadm { name = replicator } service login/ssl-params { name = ssl-params } service stats-mail { name = stats } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/thot_mit_chain.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/certs/private_key_thot.rz.pem userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = /mailbase/dovecot/2.2.9/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " stats imap_stats" service replication-notify-fifo { name = aggregator } service anvil-auth-penalty { name = anvil } service auth-worker { name = auth-worker } service auth-client { name = auth } service config { name = config } service dict { name = dict } service login/proxy-notify { name = director } service dns-client { name = dns_client } service doveadm-server { name = doveadm } service imap { name = imap-login } service imap-urlauth { name = imap-urlauth-login } service imap-urlauth-worker { name = imap-urlauth-worker } service token-login/imap-urlauth { name = imap-urlauth } service login/imap { name = imap } service indexer-worker { name = indexer-worker } service indexer { name = indexer } service ipc { name = ipc } service lmtp { name = lmtp } service log-errors { name = log } service pop3 { name = pop3-login } service login/pop3 { name = pop3 } service replicator-doveadm { name = replicator } service login/ssl-params { name = ssl-params } service stats-mail { name = stats } }

it's possible to send email from the system after the mailbox quota is full i don't want warning mail i want something else because when i use warning on 100% or 99% or less some times the last message be too large (so if just 5% is free from quota size and the last msg size is 6% from quota ) after that the mailbox will not receive this message or warning message . -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/it-s-possible-to-send-email-from-the-s… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] dsync error: gz trailer has wrong CRC value
by Joe Beaubien 13 Jan '14

13 Jan '14

A few days ago by dovecot installation started behaving weirdly. First it was doveadm fts optimize which would fail (a thread running about that) and now it's dsync, which means my backups are not working. This all started a few days ago, which I find a little weird, because I haven't messed around with the dovecot setup in months. I've been searching the internet, but didn't find anything useful yet. Would anyone know how to fix the errors in the log below?

[Dovecot] Dovecot quota with MySQL - username issue
by michael 11 Jan '14

11 Jan '14

Hi all, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.8 with quota using a MySQL backend. The Quota plugin is listed for POP3, IMAP and LDA. When it is enabled for LDA, it populates the "username" field in the MySQL table with e mail addresses. I end up with a mixture of email addresses and usernames, which causes things to not fully work. It *should* be just usernames. the LDA SQL statement is: user_query = \ SELECT mailboxes.username, accounts.uid, accounts.uid AS gid, \ concat('/home/',mailboxes.username) AS home, \ (SELECT IF(accounts.new_mail_fmt=1, \ CONCAT('Maildir:',home,'/Maildir'), \ CONCAT('mbox:',home,'/Maildir:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/',mailboxes.username))) AS mail_location \ FROM mailboxes JOIN accounts ON accounts.username=mailboxes.username \ WHERE (mailboxes.email='%u' || \ (mailboxes.email=CONCAT('@','%d') AND (SELECT COUNT(email) FROM mailboxes \ WHERE email='%u') = 0) AND mailboxes.active IS TRUE) It clearly knows the username. Usernames on this system are just names, not full email addresses. The configuration of Quota Dict is: dovecot.conf dict/quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf ... quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict dovecot-dict-sql.conf map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota username_field = username value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota username_field = username value_field = messages } Can this be fixed?

[Dovecot] Possible to force cipher order?
by Matthias Rieber 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Hi, is it possible to force the server cipher order instead of the clients preferences? When I connect with openssl using these ciphers: 'RC4-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384' -> RC4-SHA will be selected and with 'DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:RC4-SHA' -> DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 It seems to be recommended for webservers to override that due to bad clients choices and increasing knowledge, like RC4 vs. BEAST, AES128 better (theoretical) than AES256. Regards, Matthias

[Dovecot] Message filtering capability at IMAP proxy
by CM Reddy 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Hi, I would like process the messages at Dovecot IMAP proxy. In one of the documents, it was mentioned that Dovecot proxy currently supports on the fly message filtering in latest releases. Will it it possible to extend the filtering feature to handle the following requirements. 1. Parse the email at IMAP proxy. 2. Replace the links with some other secure links. 3. Replace the attachments with some other document. It would be great, if any one can provide some pointers to move forward. - Thanks in advance CM Reddy

You could also chmod 1777 /var/mail but this will allow arbitrary uses who have filesystem access to create their own files here, and maybe DoS a new user from being created (or maybe even anticipate a new mailbox, create one with mode 0777 and wait to intercept mail?).

[Dovecot] imap auto create mailbox: we're not in group 8(mail)
by Adrian Zaugg 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Dear List Somehow I don't understand the intended work flow to have new mailboxes auto created. On login of a new user with no mailbox, I get 2014-01-09 12:53:06 imap(tester): Error: user tester: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/var/mail/tester) failed: Permission denied (euid=1016(tester) egid=1016(tester) missing +w perm: /var/mail, we're not in group 8(mail), dir owned by 0:8 mode=0771) The imap process runs as the user the login performed and thus it has only the privileges of that user. This is good and desired, when a mailbox already exists. I do not want to allow all users to write to /var/mail, only they should write to their dirs inside /var/mail. Same story for LMTP, if no mailbox exists yet: 2014-01-09 13:01:47 lmtp(20416, tester): Error: user tester: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/var/mail/tester) failed: Permission denied (euid=1016(tester) egid=1016(tester) missing +w perm: /var/mail, we're not in group 8(mail), dir owned by 0:8 mode=0771) How can I configure the auto create mailbox feature that it works and let run LMTP and IMAP process as user %u and group mail and let create the mailboxes in /var/mail as (example user tester) with the following permissions: /var/mail: drwxrwx--x root mail 3072 Dec 18 01:43 . drwx------ tester tester 1024 Jan 09 12:53 tester ...or do I need a different approach?

Re: [Dovecot] BUG report: doveadm HEADER <field> <pattern> when concatenating with another Search key

I tried using logical conjections of header searches and it works with my installation of dovecot, so either it's a bug introduced later than 2.1.16, or perhaps it from the different search engine you use (I use the default that comes with dovecot -- squat?).

[Dovecot] Disallow certain characters in foldernames?
by Charles Marcus 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Is there a way to do this in dovecot? Similar to how you can When using Maildir and Thunderbird, if a user tries to a create folder named "test.1" or "test/1", dovecot will happily create a folder called "test", with a subfolder called "1". Worse, the top level folder "test" is greyed out, which is how Thunderbird displays a folder that can contain only other folders, not both folders and files. I want to disallow this. Obviously I'd prefer if Thunderbird would display a meaningful error, but most likely dovecot cannot control that. I don't really care if the user just gets some kind of weird generic error or not, I'd just prefer to prevent dovecot from creating the problematic folders, and explain the problem to the user if/when they call about it (after NOT reading my carefully crafted documentation explaining the illegal characters that cannot be used in foldernames). -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] acl, shared folders

Hi list, After spending quite some time to figure out how users can share folders I now hope someone of you could help me out. I am quite sure its just a stupid mistake/misunderstanding ... I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the shipped dovecot 2.0.19 When I login via telnet as user1 I get the following: 1 create folder1 1 OK Create completed. 2 setacl folder1 user2 rli 2 OK Setacl complete. 3 getacl folder1 * ACL "folder1" "user2" ilr "user1" lrwstipekxacd 3 OK Getacl completed. This seems fine. However, there is nothing listed in the account of user2. I think the mistake is in the namespace configuration of "location" or "prefix" Please help!

[Dovecot] LMTP with virtual and system users
by Philipp Kolmann 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi, I have a mailsystem where i have some local users with shell access and full home dirs which receive mail and also several SQL virtual users only for mail. With the virtual users, everything works fine. Mail is delivered via LMTP and also sieve works :) The SQL Lookup knows what to do with username(a)domain.com The problem is the system user. If exim delivers the mail to the lmtp socket, the LMTPd can't find username(a)local.host I would be able to specify the global auth_username_format=%n but then my SQL queries break and I like the possibility to have xx(a)domain1.com and xx(a)domain2.com routed to two different accounts. As I have seen in the source, I can't specify username_format=%n in the passdb { driver = pam } backend. Do you have any suggestion how to solve this issue? thanks Philipp

[Dovecot] Question re: filesystem permissions
by Charles Marcus 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi all, I want to make sure the filesystems are correct/optimal and secure as possible. This is a virtual hosting setup only (no system users), and dovecot is currently running in high performance mode (I'm thinking I want to change that too, so wondering if that would affect the permissions)... /var/vmail (and everything under it) is owned by vmail:vmail. Current permissions are: /var/vmail 755 /var/vmail/example1.com 777 /var/vmail/example2.com 777 /var/vmail/example1.com/user1 755 (all other user home dirs are the same) /var/vmail/example1.com/user1/Maildir 700 (all other user Maildirs and all subdirs are the same) All files are 600, with the exception of the dovecot-uidvalidity.blahblah files, which are 444 So... is this right? Anything need to be changed? Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] virtual mailboxes folder structure
by Marco Cusano 08 Jan '14

Hi, I am trying to find a way to list my virtual mailboxes hiding the namespace prefix into my imap client. Fore example now my “All” mailbox is listed under virtual/ as: Inbox Sent Drafts Spam Trash - virtual All I would like to list as this: Inbox Sent Drafts Spam Trash All This is my 10-mail.conf: http://pastebin.com/DumEbbmy and this is my 15-mailboxes.conf: http://pastebin.com/QFzWGzyC I thought that the list = children paramenter would do but it did not.

Re: [Dovecot] BUG report: doveadm HEADER <field> <pattern> when concatenating with another Search key

Hey Joseph! Thanks for testing. > I couldn't recreate this with 2.1.16. Also, my version of "doveadm > search" does not accept missing header patterns. Is this corroborated > by dumping out the header with this same search query? > > doveadm fetch -u exampleuser hdr SUBJECT Silvester \ > HEADER Return-Path someuser at example.com Yes, it's same phenomenon when dumping with fetch. Of course you can only test this properly when you really have some mails with corresponding existing Header fields. (You can also try out other HEADER fields, like Reply-To, References, X-Spam-Score or whatever - just look at some mail headers of your mails and try it with existing fields.) So E.g. When doing doveadm fetch -u exampleuser hdr SUBJECT Silvester HEADER Return-Path someuser(a)example.com it initially outputs 13 headers (same as when using with SUBJECT Silvester only) , when piping it to "grep -i 'Return-Path'" it even found only 3 out of 13 headers containing a Return-Path at all, 2 of them different than someuser(a)example.com - so SAME behaviour as with search.

[Dovecot] how to separate virtual delivery and authentication?
by Mihai Badici 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

I have a "pure ldap" setting with postfix and dovecot. When using dovecot delivery, the recipient is checked via ldap. The same ldap query is used when authenticate. So, if I want to authenticate with the uid , I can't use a filter like uid=%u because the delivery will fail. I don't want to use %nor something else because I could use multiple e-mail addresses on a single account. I actually use a filter like ( mail=%u)|(uid=%u) but I think for more complex situations should be better to have two separate filters, one for authentication and the other for the delivery. What is your oppinion? -- Mihai Bădici http://mihai.badici.ro

[Dovecot] Dovecot can't find CLucene's libstemmer on FreeBSD
by interfaSys sàrl 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hello, A set of patches was created by Lawrence Chen for the Dovecot2 port so that it could recognise and use libstemmer and libexttextcat. They can't be used as is as he's replacing statements with something that works only on FreeBSD, but I think it would be a good idea to try and include some of his fixes. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/175813 Cheers, Olivier

Re: [Dovecot] using OR in doveadm search query

I guess > because now the query has become a mailbox name that does not exist. ( I > am using dovecot 2.2.9) Each search token ought to be a command line argument to doveadm, so if you're looking for all message with the string "a" or "b" in the subject in mailboxes shared/*, then this should be the correct syntax, with all arguments sufficiently escaped from shell interpretation: doveadm search mailbox shared/\* $ SUBJECT a OR SUBJECT b $ (Delete "OR" if both strings must be in the subject: expressions are implicitly AND'd if not OR'd. In fact, you can also remove the parenthesis since precedence doesn't matter anymore.) You can check the search query by fetching some values using the same query: doveadm fetch 'mailbox hdr' mailbox shared/\* $ SUBJECT a OR SUBJECT b $ Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Mailbox autocreate feature cannot create folders
by interfaSys sàrl 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hello, The "new" way of creating default mailboxes doesn't work for us. There seems to be a permission problem. We get this in the logs: imap(testuser(a)domain.com): Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy That error message has nothing to do with NFS (not used) or /var/mail and appears every time an app is requesting a list of folders via IMAP and only if we enable the autocreate feature. We're using mdbox, emails are delivered via LDA and the folder permissions look like this: # la /home/user/imap/domain.com/testuser/mdbox/mailboxes/ total 5 drwx------ 3 user mail 3B Jan 5 19:33 INBOX drwx------ 3 user mail 3B Jan 5 19:33 . drwx------ 4 user mail 8B Jan 7 02:43 .. The mailbox definitions used come straight from the wiki: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings I've enabled debugging, but there is no mention of the mailboxes to create: Debug: dict quota... Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mdbox:~/mdbox Debug: fs:... Debug: acl:... ... Here is what works: - Autocreate plugin - Creating folders via various clients So, it seems Dovecot can create folders, just not using that feature. If that's not a bug, would there be a way to make it work without altering permissions? Cheers, Olivier

[Dovecot] need assistance migrating between apple servers

I am attempting to move imap folders from an Apple Snow Leopard server to a new Apple Mavericks server. Dovecot --version is not working , but I believe the old server is running dovecot 1.1.2 and can confirm the new one is running 2.2.x. I have tried taring and moving folders, but have not been able to get the transfered messages and folders to show up in user accounts (new messages show up fine). I have attempted to recreate index files, but that has not worked either. The last attempt I made to migrate was to use dsync, but it does not exist on the old server and I do not see a way to install it. What method would work best to migrate or move files and folders from the old server and get them to show up for clients on using the new server? -- Raymond Norton LCTN 952.955.7766 Sent from My Desktop

[Dovecot] [SIEVE] Locking Errors with vnd.dovecot.duplicate Extension

Hi, we are running a 4 host setup which each hosts a director+mailbox which is mounted via NFSv4 from a DRBD cluster. * Dovecot upstream release 2.1.16 * Doveadm batch subcommand fix - http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/raw-rev/850b5d8bbcc9 * Pigeonhole release 0.3.4 Now we would like to remove duplicate Mails using the vnd.dovecot.duplicate extension using a SIEVE script like this: require ["vnd.dovecot.duplicate", "fileinto", "mailbox", "regex", "vacation", "variables"]; if duplicate { fileinto :create "Trash"; } But as soon as we start delivering duplicate mails, we're sometimes getting locking errors from the mailbox (which is responsible for the user) according to the director: Dec 27 16:36:30 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(27975, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:33 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(27987, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:35 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(27994, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:36 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(28011, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:36 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(28013, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:38 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(28017, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:39 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(28025, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:42 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(28037, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Dec 27 16:36:43 10.129.3.213 dovecot: lmtp(27973, user001(a)example.org) Error: Creating lock file for /mail/dovecot/example.org/user001/.dovecot.lda-dupes timed out in 20 secs Configs and Error log is attached.

Timo, would you consider adding support for "IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes" <http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6154.txt> any time near in the future? I would really love to get rid of all those folders created by all those different mail clients just because they can't agree to use the same folder for special purpose. Obviously clients need to support it too. Having Dovecot support it certainly would make them adopt the standard sooner. p@rick -- state of mind Digitale Kommunikation http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstraße 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 München Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht München Partnerschaftsregister PR 563

[Dovecot] Allow both SSL/993 and STARTTLS/143 connections (secure only)
by Charles Marcus 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi all, Ok, up until now, I've only always allowed IMAPS connections to dovecot on port 993. I want to also start allowing clients to user port143+STARTTLS, but I walso want to make sure both ports are locked down to ONLY allow secure connections. So... is disable_plaintext_auth = yes in the main config enough to accomplish this? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration says: There are a couple of different ways to specify when SSL/TLS is required: * disable_plaintext_auth=yes allows plaintext authentication <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms> only when SSL/TLS is used first. * ssl = required requires SSL/TLS also for non-plaintext authentication <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms>. * If you have only plaintext mechanisms enabled (auth { mechanisms = plain login } ), you can use either (or both) of the above settings. They behave exactly the same way then and the comments in 10-auth.conf say: # Disable LOGIN command and all other plaintext authentications unless # SSL/TLS is used (LOGINDISABLED capability). Note that if the remote IP # matches the local IP (ie. you're connecting from the same computer), the # connection is considered secure and plaintext authentication is allowed. # See also ssl=required setting. #disable_plaintext_auth = yes These seem to be saying that all I need to do is set either or both (ssl-required and/or disable_plaintext_auth=yes). I'm looking for the simplest, and don't like redundant/unnecessary settings, so... which is the best/preferred way? And what is the difference between ssl=required and disable_plaintext_auth=yes? Thanks, -- Best regards, */Charles/***
