set up for Dovecot redundancy -- store on edge server only if link to backofc server is down, otherwise deliver to final dest?
by PGNet Dev 04 Jan '21

04 Jan '21

I run Postfix + Dovecot. Currently, I've got a cloud-instance of Postfix that handles all the anti-spam/auth/routing. On successful 'pass', it resends email -- over a VPN link -- to a *local* Postfix instance, which then LMTP-delivers to a Dovecot instance on the same box. Works great. I'd like to set up some IMAP redundancy, so that if the VPN link is down for any reason, mail is stored/accessible, and -- eventually -- correctly (re)delivered to the local Dovecot instance when the link's up again. The goal state I'm considering looks like: @cloud Postfix LMTP delivery from Postfix to "Dovecot1" @local LMTP (re)delivery from "Dovecot1", @cloud, to "Dovecot2" IDEALLY, no IMAP mail should ever be persistently stored on the @cloud Dovecot instance -- unless the VPN link is down. Then, when the VPN link is up again, the @cloud-stored IMAP mail should me 'moved' to the @local instance. I.e., I do _not_ want a replicated store. My question is how transparent/automated can this be done? I'd guess that somewhere in Dovecot's config I need logic that provides the conditional delivery to just @cloud vs 'all the way' to @local ... Any suggestions as to how to put this VPN-conditional redundancy in place?

TLS problem with iOS 9 Mail clients
by Maik Musall 02 Jan '21

02 Jan '21

Hi everyone, recently I migrated my mail server from an Ubuntu 16.04 box to an Ubuntu 20.04 box, so from dovecot 2.2.22 to 2.3.7.2, and to openssl 1.1.1.f. While everything else works fine, I have one important user stuck on an iOS 9 device that I need to support for a while longer, with which the IMAP TLS handshake keeps failing. From the logs: TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:14209102:SSL routines:tls_early_post_process_client_hello:unsupported protocol I didn’t find a debug option to dump the TLS handshake details, so I analyzed a packet dump and found the following capabilities and cipher suites offered by the client: Transport Layer Security TLSv1 Record Layer: Handshake Protocol: Client Hello Content Type: Handshake (22) Version: TLS 1.0 (0x0301) Length: 149 Handshake Protocol: Client Hello Handshake Type: Client Hello (1) Length: 145 Version: TLS 1.0 (0x0301) Random: 5fef787ac06215d0a4edefd17602fadf409ab0512e04e62ade6192f2499f4896 Session ID Length: 0 Cipher Suites Length: 50 Cipher Suites (25 suites) Cipher Suite: TLS_EMPTY_RENEGOTIATION_INFO_SCSV (0x00ff) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 (0xc024) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 (0xc023) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA (0xc00a) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (0xc009) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (0xc008) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 (0xc028) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 (0xc027) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA (0xc014) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (0xc013) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (0xc012) Cipher Suite: TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 (0x006b) Cipher Suite: TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 (0x0067) Cipher Suite: TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA (0x0039) Cipher Suite: TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (0x0033) Cipher Suite: TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (0x0016) Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 (0x003d) Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256 (0x003c) Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA (0x0035) Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA (0x002f) Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA (0x000a) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA (0xc007) Cipher Suite: TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA (0xc011) Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA (0x0005) Cipher Suite: TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 (0x0004) Compression Methods Length: 1 Compression Methods (1 method) Compression Method: null (0) Extensions Length: 54 Extension: server_name (len=19) Type: server_name (0) Length: 19 Server Name Indication extension Extension: supported_groups (len=8) Extension: ec_point_formats (len=2) Type: ec_point_formats (11) Length: 2 EC point formats Length: 1 Elliptic curves point formats (1) EC point format: uncompressed (0) Extension: status_request (len=5) Type: status_request (5) Length: 5 Certificate Status Type: OCSP (1) Responder ID list Length: 0 Request Extensions Length: 0 Extension: signed_certificate_timestamp (len=0) Type: signed_certificate_timestamp (18) Length: 0 I already tweaked the dovecot-ssl config down with "ssl_min_protocol = TLSv1” and included ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA in the cipher list, but the client still won’t connect. Does anyone have an idea what else I could try? Thanks Maik

LDA ignores virtual mailbox settings
by Toni Mueller 01 Jan '21

01 Jan '21

Hi, I have a Debian/Buster system with Postfix and Dovecot from the Debian repo, and with virtual users only (ie, no system users). These virtual users are having all of their uids, gids, homes and mail quota in an PostgreSQL database. The intent is to have postfix deliver the email via dovecot's LDA, so I can set quota on a per-user basis. But for some odd reason, Dovecot's LDA can't find the user data from the userdb, and then complains about not being able to write to /var/mail. The following example shows how things fail when delivering a message from Postfix's queue (therefore, the passdb failure is expected): In /etc/dovecot.conf, I have this, amongst other things: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=~/Maildir passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } protocol lda { mail_plugins = autocreate quota mail_log trash virtual notify } 16:04:16 postfix/qmgr[4970]: 8CD6CE072E: from=<user(a)example.com>, size=880, nrcpt=1 (queue active) 16:04:16 dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: USER#0111#011user(a)example.com#011service=lda 16:04:16 dovecot: auth: Debug: prefetch(user(a)example.com): passdb didn't return userdb entries, trying the next userdb 16:04:16 dovecot: auth: Debug: sql(user(a)example.com): SELECT '/path-to-mailboxen/' || virtual_users.home AS home, uid , gid , quota as quota_rule FROM virtual_users WHERE email = 'user(a)example.com' AND status = 'A' 16:04:16 dovecot: auth: Debug: userdb out: USER#0111#011user@example.com#011home=/path-to-mailboxen/example.com/user#011uid=12345#011gid=12345#011quota_rule=*:storage=0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This shows that the database lookup works. The intended effect should be that the message is delivered to /path-to-mailboxen/example.com/user/Maidir/new 16:04:16 dovecot: lda(user(a)example.com)<5291><DDxBHYCw6F+rFAAApiCoHg>: Error: setegid(privileged) failed: Operation not permitted 16:04:16 dovecot: lda(user(a)example.com)<5291><DDxBHYCw6F+rFAAApiCoHg>: Error: Mailbox INBOX: open(/var/mail/user(a)example.com) failed: Permission denied (euid=12345(mailbox) egid=12345(mailbox) missing +w perm: /var/mail, we're not in group 8(mail), dir owned by 0:8 mode=0775) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And this shows that dovecot-lda just ignores the result. 16:04:16 dovecot: lda(user(a)example.com)<5291><DDxBHYCw6F+rFAAApiCoHg>: Error: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to autocreate mailbox: Mailbox INBOX: open(/var/mail/user(a)example.com) failed: Permission denied (euid=12345(mailbox) egid=12345(mailbox) missing +w perm: /var/mail, we're not in group 8(mail), dir owned by 0:8 mode=0775) 16:04:16 dovecot: lda(user(a)example.com)<5291><DDxBHYCw6F+rFAAApiCoHg>: msgid=<20201226224933.014608(a)laptop.example.com>: save failed to open mailbox INBOX: Mailbox INBOX: Failed to autocreate mailbox: Mailbox INBOX: open(/var/mail/user(a)example.com) failed: Permission denied (euid=12345(mailbox) egid=12345(mailbox) missing +w perm: /var/mail, we're not in group 8(mail), dir owned by 0:8 mode=0775) 16:04:16 postfix/pipe[5284]: 8CD6CE072E: to=<user(a)example.com>, orig_to=<userA(a)example2.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=62083, delays=62083/0.04/0/0.04, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure) In /etc/postfix/master.cf, I have this to call it: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=_mailbox argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${domain} -a ${recipient} I've tried strace-ing dovecot-lda, but it didn't really help me to understand why it discards the result of the userdb lookup. Can anyone please provide a cluebat, please? Thanks, Toni

If a folder has new messages, then it has a badge that is dark blue (with the theme I am using) with the number of un-read messages. Otherwise it has a badge that is light-blue to indicate un-read messages only. Folders with no badges have zero un-read messages. So there is definitely a distinction for "new" messages.

migration from 2.0.16
by Barbara M. 01 Jan '21

01 Jan '21

I have an old server with CentOS 6.x and dovecot 2.0.16 (postfix-2.6.6 and roundcube), that was an update from a 1.x many years ago ... Users in /etc/passwd Mailbox format mbox some filtering via procmail About 5.000 users, 1 TB data (/var/mail + /home/users) Obviously I am searching for a smooth upgrade path (with no or minimal downtime and users problems) ;-) Until few days ago my idea was a CentOS 8.x new box with the standard default packages (dovecot-2.3.8, postfix-3.3, ...). Now this can be reconsidered. I suppose there will be a RockyLinux or something equivalent but if there is a good reason I can consider Debian or other OS if they have a decent EOL or some advantages. Anyway, the more relevant problem at the moment is collect info for the best approch to have a smooth dovecot upgrade. My dream is the possibility to configure a new server and rsync the data (/var/mail + /home/users), and, when the tests are satisfiable do the final sync and swap the IP, but I suppose deleting the .imap folders isn't a simple complete solution to compatibility problems. Any hints, links, experiences are appreciated. Thanks, B.

Initial Replication
by David Morsberger 01 Jan '21

01 Jan '21

I searched the archives and do not see a question/answer for this. Should I perform a set of ordered steps after setting up replication? I have setup dovecot on both ends with identical config except for the remote hostname. Main concern is the existing server gets replicated to the new server. I want nothing from new server replicated to the old server. Risking "Trial and error" and "crossing fingers” doesn’t work with production emails Specifically: Do I need to setup the mail directories for the various virtual users on the remote? If so, do the directories need to empty? Should I initially do a manually one-way synch using doveadm from the existing server? If so, is there a way of turning off automatic replication while the manual one runs? Anything else? T David

Imap client with ~7500 imap cmds ~250/~500 read() syscall
by Marc Roos 31 Dec '20

31 Dec '20

I am playing a bit with the monitoring, and I have noticed there is one client of the chart with ~7500, while the others are between ~17 and ~60 (dovecot_user_num_cmds). I assume this is related to the client, or is it possible something is wrong on the server side? Is someone having also such numbers or is this really strange. Is it possible to limit these cmd's?

mail-crypt when using passwd-file driver
by Adam Gould 31 Dec '20

31 Dec '20

Hi, I am just finishing my first personal email server build so I would really appreciate it if the response to my question can be spelled out in enough detail since I am struggling to fill in the gaps to get this working. I have scoured Google and the archives but I am not fully understanding the implementation for my setup. I am looking for a solution to encrypt email using a mechanism that increases the difficulty of decrypting my email. For example, having a plain-text decryption key on disk would not be suitable. From what I understand mail-crypt supports using the user password supplied via IMAP to decrypt email. Can someone explain how this technically works? i.e. is the private key encrypted in disk and then unlocked using the supplied password? Can someone also please step me through 1. how I would ammen the configuration below in order to set this up. 2. the command required to generate keys 3. Any help in understanding the limitations such as password changes or caveats around generating keys securely I am happy to take my notes and update the wiki to help others.

Solr and FTS - assertion failure
by Antonino Esposito 31 Dec '20

31 Dec '20

Hi, in the latest weeks i'm working on the Solr integration and immediately i've faced the assertion failure errors, on 2.0.19, 2.2.9 and 2.3.11.3 servers in our network. Reading the thread on debian ML, I realize this issue is related to nested MIME and it affects large mailboxes In my case, the error in dovecot.log pairs with the following on solr.log and it seems the rows value has the same value of the last UID recorded in the mailbox. For your reference, here is the Solr logs, where *2276996170* is the value passed by Dovecot as rows number and it clearly don't fit with the rows data type. Have you had experienced the same behaviour? Is there a workaround?

Hi Marc, The same document says this: rawlog binary It works by checking if dovecot.rawlog/ directory exists in the logged in user's home directory, and writing the traffic to yyyymmdd-HHMMSS-pid.in and .out files. Each connection gets their own in/out files. *Rawlog will simply skip users who don't have the dovecot.rawlog/ directory and the performance impact for those users is minimal.* On Wed, 30 Dec 2020 at 20:10, Marc Roos <M.Roos(a)f1-outsourcing.eu> wrote: > > You know by any chance how to limit this only for one user? > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Odhiambo Washington [mailto:odhiambo@gmail.com] > Sent: 30 December 2020 18:00 > To: dovecot > Subject: Re: import_environment = $import_environment DEBUG=1 where > should this be logged? > > > Hi Marc, > > If you read the link keenly - Debugging/Rawlog - Dovecot Wiki > <https://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog> - you will realize that you > need to do some stuff. > I have done them and they produced the results. > > Edit /path/to/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf and add the following: > > Under this block: > > add executable = imap postlogin to the block that has service imap { > .... > ... > } > > Then create another block in the same file as follows: > > service postlogin { > executable = script-login -d rawlog > unix_listener postlogin { > } > } > > Identify the user for whom you want the rawlogs: > > doveadm user -u technical(a)mydomain.name > userdb: technical(a)mydomain.name > user : technical(a)mydomain.name > home : /var/spool/virtual/mydomain.name/technical > uid : 26 > gid : 26 > > Now do the following: > cd /var/spool/virtual/mydomain.name/technical > mkdir dovecot.rawlog > chown -R 26:26 dovecot.rawlog > > systemctl restart dovecot (or however you do it in CentOS) > > Now login to imap as the user .. perform some operations. > > Now look inside > /var/spool/virtual/mydomain.name/technical/dovecot.rawlog/ > > PS: Adapt as necessary.

Hi Marc, If you read the link keenly - Debugging/Rawlog - Dovecot Wiki <https://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog> - you will realize that you need to do some stuff. I have done them and they produced the results. Edit /path/to/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf and add the following: Under this block: add executable = imap postlogin to the block that has service imap { .... ... } Then create another block in the same file as follows: service postlogin { executable = script-login -d rawlog unix_listener postlogin { } } Identify the user for whom you want the rawlogs: doveadm user -u technical(a)mydomain.name userdb: technical(a)mydomain.name user : technical(a)mydomain.name home : /var/spool/virtual/mydomain.name/technical uid : 26 gid : 26 Now do the following: cd /var/spool/virtual/mydomain.name/technical mkdir dovecot.rawlog chown -R 26:26 dovecot.rawlog systemctl restart dovecot (or however you do it in CentOS) Now login to imap as the user .. perform some operations. Now look inside /var/spool/virtual/mydomain.name/technical/dovecot.rawlog/ PS: Adapt as necessary. I tested this on FreeBSD with dovecot- 2.3.11.3 Ignore the /tmp/rawlog/%u portion of the HOWTO. I did it too, but there was nothing in /tmp/rawlog/ even though I created the directory and did chmod 1777 /tmp/rawlog. Adios.

import_environment = $import_environment DEBUG=1 where should this be logged?

You can also set DEBUG environment to have rawlog log an info message why it's not doing anything: import_environment = $import_environment DEBUG=1 Where should this message appear, I also don't have this one. [1] https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog

Getting rawlogging working with dovecot 2.2
by Marc Roos 30 Dec '20

30 Dec '20

According to this manual[1] I just have to add these lines to my config, not? protocol imap { rawlog_dir = /tmp/rawlog/%u } I should be seeing something in this /tmp/rawlog if I delete an message via imap not? I have already made this folder 777 and /tmp/rawlog/test 777, but still nothing is there. The normal syslog of dovecot does not report any errors. [1] https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog

Virtual folder with 'younger' not updating
by Jonathan Casiot 30 Dec '20

30 Dec '20

I have a virtual folder set up with the following in dovecot-virtual: INBOX INBOX.temp ALL YOUNGER 86400 The problem is that messages older than 86,400 seconds (24 hours) never disappear from the folder. Is there any fix for this apart from adding INDEX=MEMORY to the mailbox location in the config file? I'm running Dovecot 2.2.36 on CentOS. Regards, -- Jonathan

read state not propagated
by Marc Roos 30 Dec '20

30 Dec '20

I have migrated the inbox namespace from mbox to mdbox by doing a doveadm backup to the new server. Both servers are having CentOS7 + dovecot-2.2.36-6.el7_8.1.x86_64, both servers have identical configurations (new server has some different vsz_limits and stats enabled) Now a user complains that an imap mailbox he opens at the same time with a colleague does not propagate the 'read' state. Previously if his colleague read the message, it would show on his mailbox also 'read'. After the transfer it keeps being unread for him. Am I correct to assume that he should indeed get an updated to 'read'? Where should I look to fix this? What can be the cause of this?

AUTH command behaviour when authentication process failed or aborted by user is changed
by Михаил Сандаков 30 Dec '20

30 Dec '20

Hi all, I have tried to update from 2.3.10.1 to 2.3.11.3 and found some strange change of dovecot behaviour at pop3 authentication. Firstly this changes have been found by my tests with curl. But this can be simply reproduced with telnet too. On version 2.3.10.1 when authentication is failed or aborted by client, client can send "AUTH [auth method]" to retry authentication with the same or another authentication method. Example of client <-> server conversation: server <<< +OK Dovecot ready. client >>> AUTH DIGEST-MD5 server <<< [some_auth_data] client >>> * server <<< -ERR Authentication aborted by client. client >>> AUTH CRAM-MD5 server <<< [another_auth_data] But on version 2.3.11.3 in the same cases client must send only "auth method" without "AUTH". Example of successful conversation on this version: server <<< OK Dovecot ready. client >>> AUTH DIGEST-MD5 server <<< [some_auth_data] client >>> * server <<< -ERR Authentication aborted by client. client >>> CRAM-MD5 server <<< [another_auth_data] And example of what happens if a client will try to do that in an old way on version 2.3.11.3: server <<< OK Dovecot ready. client >>> AUTH DIGEST-MD5 server <<< [some_auth_data] client >>> * server <<< -ERR Authentication aborted by client. client >>> AUTH CRAM-MD5 server <<< ERR [AUTH] Unsupported authentication mechanism. As you can see dovecot tries to find an authentication method by string "AUTH" not by "CRAM-MD5". This change looks strange to me. And changes break curl, because it uses an old way to make authentication. To reproduce it with curl you can just do something like: [user(a)10.52.48.220]# curl -u [user]:[password] --verbose pop3://[dovecot-host] Also seems like new behaviour is not fully accorded to rfc1734 ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1734) Based on this part of rfc: "If an AUTH command fails with a negative response, the session remains in the AUTHORIZATION state and client may try another authentication mechanism by issuing another AUTH command, or may attempt to authenticate by using the USER/PASS or APOP commands." I think "AUTH command" means full auth command started with "AUTH", not only authentication method. But I may be wrong in the interpretation of this part. I suppose this changes was made in commit https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/2c42881c056e5ab2e2e14b2f800d6dc72026…, but not sure about this. Seems like if authentication is aborted or failed client->current_cmd is not going to be cleaned. So I suggest to revert old behaviour in this cases. If I am right with commit, it seems like we just need to add clearing client->current_cmd if the authentication process has failed somehow.

Very slow mail download/notification with dovecot 2.3.7 and Thunderbird
by ml_dovecot＠thorsten-reichelt.de 28 Dec '20

28 Dec '20

Hi! I know that there are many results if I search for "dovecot thunderbird very slow" on Google but none of them helped me with my problem. :( (I already posted this on February 2020, but forgot to answer. O.o) I am running Ubuntu 20.04 (4GB RAM, 40GB HDD with EXT4) server with the following software: - Dovecot 2.3.7.2 ---- All accounts are using Maildir ---- Sieve filters - Postfix 3.4.13 ---- with opendkim, spamassassin, razor, pyzor, .... And as IMAP client I am using Thunderbird 78.6 on Windows 10. Sieve is used to sort some incoming mails into my 228 folders (56 INBOX. folders and its subfolders (output of "find .INBOX.* -maxdepth 4 -type d -print |wc -l")). The total size of my Maildir directory is 5.5GB. My problem is that it always takes very very long to synchronize the INBOX and its subfolders. Even if there are only a few new messages to be downloaded. Sometimes Thunderbird outputs something like "downloading message 1 of 19" and it takes at least 60 seconds to download all of them. None of these mails is larger than 5kB. And sometimes it seems that the transfer is suspended for a long time and it takes >5 Minutes to synchronize only a few mails. :( And it seems that some folders are never updated in TB. In example I sort all messages from this list into a "INBOX.Mailinglists.ML-Dovecot" subfolder by using a simple sieve rule. But even after 10 minutes TB thinks that there are no new messages. As soon as I click on the ML-Dovecot folder I see in the /var/log/dovecot-info.log file that TB logs on to the server and then displays hundreds, of new messages. I checked twice but I have subscribed to all 228 folders. How can I find the bottleneck? Is there a test tool available that simulates a simple mail client and can analyse an IMAP server?

.imap folders
by Elise 27 Dec '20

27 Dec '20

My user account is located at /usr/home/elise and has a subfolder ./mail In that folder I have some subfolders/subdirectories. What happens now is that dovecot creates all kind of .imap folders in these subfolders. They are all exact mirrors of the base folder(s) the .imap is part of. Can you tell me how I can prevent that dovecot creates these .imap folders other than in my home user folder /usr/home/elise and the /usr/home/elise/mail folder? /Elise

Repeated Inbox Corruption, how to Troubleshoot?
by Bryan K. Walton 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

We are running Dovecot Version 2.3.8 (9df20d2db) (from the CentOS 8 repos). Twice in the last week, I've encountered an issue where my Mutt imap client logs into our imap server and has 0 new messages (when I know that there are a lot of new messages waiting on me). Both times, I've had to shut down my mail client, and then run: doveadm -Dv force-resync -u <username> INBOX After which, I reopen Mutt and all of my new emails appear in the inbox of my mail client. Running the force-resync shows no problems. Furthermore, "doveadm log errors" shows no errors on my account and there is nothing in the logs showing that anything is corrupted for me. Yet, the force-resync is fixing a problem that I can't locate. Where should I be looking (or how should I update my logging) so that I can find out the source of the problem that is causing my repeated inbox problems? Thanks! Bryan Walton -- Bryan K.

Fail2ban and login_trusted_networks
by Javi Legido 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

Hi there. First of all many thanks to all the people involved in this project for their time, I really appreciate it. Second my use case: a) Container running Webmail (roundcube) with dovecot-ident plugin enabled <https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/issues/5336#issuecomment-2281310…> . b) Container running Dovecot 2.3.4.1 (docker-mailserver-mysql <https://github.com/Kedu-SCCL/docker-mailserver-mysql>) with fail2ban enabled Since I need to add the private IP address of the webmail to "login_trusted_networks" to "...allow to override their IP addresses and ports" I can keep login to webmail even though if the IP is blocked. Question: there's any way to: a) Allow a certain IP range to override it's IP address and ports (as in "login_trusted_networks") but b) Be blocked, as any other incoming connections, by fail2ban? More context. Once the public IP is banned (8.8.8.8 in this example): ``` 2020-12-21 10:10:31,371 fail2ban.filter [309]: INFO [dovecot] Found 8.8.8.8 - 2020-12-21 10:10:31 2020-12-21 10:10:39,189 fail2ban.filter [309]: INFO [dovecot] Found 8.8.8.8 - 2020-12-21 10:10:39 2020-12-21 10:10:51,222 fail2ban.filter [309]: INFO [dovecot] Found 8.8.8.8 - 2020-12-21 10:10:51 2020-12-21 10:10:52,008 fail2ban.actions [309]: NOTICE [dovecot] Ban 8.8.8.8 ``` I can't reach dovecot by telnet from this public IP: ``` telnet mail.example.com 143 Trying 9.9.9... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused ``` Unless I removed the ban: ``` docker exec mail fail2ban-client set dovecot unbanip 8.8.8.8 ``` Many thanks.

Using dovecot with RoundCubeMail - where is the information for new mail in (blue coloured) directories?
by Philip Rhoades 21 Dec '20

21 Dec '20

People, Every few years I try to work this problem out - occasionally I would like to re-mark a dir as having new mail so that the dir shows up as blue-coloured in RCM. Every time I Google in vain and then have a go at working it out myself but the only thing I can see is that there is a change in the appropriate dir dovecot.index.log file after having the blue dir clicked on (and the colour of the dir name changes back to black) - so is the information stored somewhere in RCM itself?

Dovecot Replication Errors (only) when using tcps: as the mail_replica Protocol
by Reuben Farrelly 18 Dec '20

18 Dec '20

Hi, I've been seeing errors logged for some time with replication processes, whereby replication sessions seem to be timing out periodically. This is with dovecot version 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171) and both are Gentoo x86_64. After some investigation I've determined that these timeouts are only ever occurring with tcps as the replication connection type. These errors never occur if non-encrypted tcp is configured. I've been able to validate this by changing only the replica_type on both ends of the replication configuration to tcp, and with no other changes and after a few days of operation there is not a single error logged. mail_replica = tcps:lightning.reub.net:4813 <<< periodic timeouts mail_replica = tcp:lightning.reub.net:4814 <<< works perfectly Example of the error: Jun 12 15:45:44 thunderstorm.reub.net dovecot[21149]: dsync-local(kaylene)<zx+WKTAU416UMwAAzkCIew>: Error: dsync(lightning.reub.net): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds (last sent=mailbox_delete, last recv=handshake) Jun 12 15:45:44 thunderstorm.reub.net dovecot[21149]: dsync-local(kaylene)<zx+WKTAU416UMwAAzkCIew>: Error: Timeout during state=recv_mailbox_tree doveadm: Error: Timeout during state=slave_recv_mailbox: 6 Time(s) doveadm: Error: Timeout during state=sync_mails (send=mail_requests recv=attributes): 31 Time(s) doveadm: Error: dsync(thunderstorm.reub.net): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds (last sent=mail_change (EOL), last recv=mailbox): 31 Time(s) doveadm: Error: dsync(thunderstorm.reub.net): I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds (last sent=mailbox_delete, last recv=mailbox_delete): 6 Time(s) It is seen on both sides of the replication setup. The replica is offsite but only a few ms of latency away and there is no packet loss. The replication is happening over IPv6, and the local firewall is logging that sessions are always permitted, and only ever finishing due to tcp-fin or tcp-rst-from-client . SSL appears to be correctly configured, and it seems that the replication itself is for the most part working. Clients are able to use imaps just fine so I don't think there's anything much wrong from an SSL perspective else I'd be seeing complete replication failure and/or client devices unable to connect. Can anyone suggest how we can further debug this problem? Thanks, Reuben

Special files under dovecot mail box

17 Dec '20

Hello, even if all the mails(messages) are deleted from my mail box (such as the sent box), the capacity of the following special files will not change, that is, these files will only increase and easily occupy the disk. Is there any other way besides using doveadm index manually? In addition, will these files be affected if they are deleted? -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 3912 Dec 1 13:52 dovecot.index -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 127008 Dec 17 17:21 dovecot.index.cache -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 18800 Dec 17 17:21 dovecot.index.log -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 1567 Jun 20 2019 dovecot.index.thread Dovecot version is 2.2.36.

Disallow acces via imap, but keep lmtp running
by Julian Kippels 16 Dec '20

16 Dec '20

Hi all, what is the best way to temporarily disable access to a mailbox via imap, but keep it possible to deliver to the mailbox via lmtp? I want to migrate some mailboxes around and would like to ensure that the users cannot access their mail while doing so. I would like to keep the users from logging in entirely rather than setting ACLs. Thanks in advance Julian

I thought about that, but that would also kill their access to wifi and other services, because it all comes from the same LDAP.

Dovecot Director scaling / performance
by tim＠linux-daus.de 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Hi, currently i'm going to evaluate the Dovecot Director. Are there someone with experience how the Dovecot Director does scale? The last current information i could find was a post on this mailing list from 2012: 4 Directors are well known, >75 are too much. Are there any more up to date experience regarding how many user (current and new/s) a single Dovecot Director/proxy node could handle and how many director nodes in a ring are known to work (well)? Best regards, Tim

Putting UIDL value into X-UIDL: header
by Süleyman Düzdaban 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Hi, Is there any way to put UIDL value into X-UIDL: header with Dovecot or Sieve? As stated in https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration page QPopper can do that. I'm asking this for preventing clients who are using POP to re-download messages and making future migrations easy. I can really benefit from inserting UIDL values even only for the new messages from now on, but if there is any way to put it into all messages in all mailboxes (Maildir) I would be grateful for that too. Dovecot version: 2.3.8 (9df20d2db) Thanks in advance.

How to reset / remove all replicator users
by Ralf Becker 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

After creating a new replication pair, it was started with an old sqlite userdb, we use for iteration / replication. The situation was quickly resolved by generating a new sqlite userdb, as it is done hourly anyway. Unfortunately I can not get ride of all access users from the replication: / # doveadm replicator status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 14 Waiting 'failed' requests 1 Total number of known users 724 / # doveadm user '*'|wc -l 507 The replication process creates again and again a lot (empty) mailboxes on both sides of the replication. I tried the obvious with no avail: / # doveadm replicator remove '*' Error: Replicator failed: User not found I also tried restarting the pair one after the other, but it seems the users to replicate are somewhere persisted. I'm also trying to delete the users from the newly created (empty) mailboxes, but the number of known users in "doveadm replicator status" is unchanged: root:/var/dovecot/imap# for domain in $(ls -1 |grep -v bb-trunk.egroupware.de|grep -v outdoor-training.de|grep -v rbz-); do for user in $domain/*; do echo "$(basename $user)@$domain"; doveadm replicator remove "$(basename $user)@$domain"; done; rm -rf $domain; done Any idea what else I can do, or where the replication stores it's users?

How to setup Dovecot director in a NAT-like environment?
by Richard Mader 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

How can I setup Dovecot director in a NAT like environment? My mailservers are running within docker and one of them behind a router, so the IP that dovecot binds to does not match the IP that other mailservers have to use to connect to them. Since when running director the servers connect to each other, I'd guess I'd have to set the external IP of the servers in the "director_servers". If I do that I'm unable to start the director nodes since they cannnot find out which of the addresses is their own. I had a quick peek at the sourcecode and director detects its own address by trying to bind to all of the addresses. Since we're behind a NAT, that will of course fail for its external IP. When I set the local address or localhost in the "director_servers" directive, then the director nodes are able to start but they are denied when connecting to other nodes. When using the NAT-internal IP I've got the following error: > Error: Remote director thinks it's someone else (connected to > <other-directors-external-ip>:9090, remote says it's > <other-directors-internal-ip>:9090) When using localhost/127.0.0.1 then I get: > Info: Connecting to <other-directors-external-ip>:9090 (as 127.0.0.1): > Alone in director ring - trying to connect to others > Error: connect(<other-directors-external-ip>:9090) failed: Invalid > argument Is it somehow possible to tell director which of the addresses within "director_servers" is its own address, that it then advertises to other servers, instead of trying figuring that out itself by trying to bind to all ip-addresses on startup? Kafka e.g. has the "advertised.listeners" property to set a custom host to announce to clients and to other Kafka nodes. If there is not such a property or any other workaround, I might consider implementing this into director myself. Although I might need some help getting started since this is my first time contributing to a non Scala/Java or Typescript/NodeJS Project. So far I've discovered that Github seems to be the official repo and is not just a mirror and I was able to compile it on my machine. Now I've got questions such as, where can I find the binaries that I've just compiled and whats the best way to get them running locally and to test my changes, where are unit tests located, ...? Best Regards, Richard

Migrate mailbox from NFS folder to new NFS folder
by Claudio Corvino 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

Hi everyone, I need to migrate many user mailboxes from an NFS folder to a new NFS folder, both mounted on the same Dovecot server (2.2.27). Once migrated, users will connect to a new Dovecot server (2.3.4.1). I would like to know how to use /doveadm backup/ (or sync?) instead of /rsync/ as I noted that after migration with rsync I have duplicates and some e-mails marked as unread. What is the correct way to achieve this? Thanks Cheers

Unexpected behavior of doveadm mailbox delete -e -s
by Mar Alegre 13 Dec '20

13 Dec '20

Hello, I have encountered what I believe to be a bug, or at least inaccurate documentation. I am running version 2.3.4.1 of Dovecot (installed via the default repo for Debian 10), so my apologies if this has been fixed in a more recent version. I tried to look for changelogs but was not able to find any. The `doveadm mailbox delete` command accepts flags `-e` and `-s` (among others). The flags are described by both the man pages and the wiki as follows: - `-e`: Require mailboxes to be empty before deleting. - `-s`: Unsubscribe deleted mailboxes. Based on these descriptions, I would expect that when both of these flags are combined, a directory that is not empty would be neither deleted nor unsubscribed. However, I have discovered that when I run the command `doveadm mailbox delete -u $myusername -e -s $non_empty_dir`, the result is that the directory is not deleted, but it *is* unsubscribed. I assume this is a bug, but if it is intended, the documentation should probably be updated to more clearly communicate that the `-s` flag will cause a directory to be unsubscribed even if it is not deleted. Best, Mar Alegre

fyi: please change /var/run to /run in debian buster repository
by Michael 12 Dec '20

hey, just one minor thing: if there's any time left, please change in the repository debian/buster in the package dovecot-core in the file /lib/systemd/system/dovecot.service the line PIDFile=/var/run/dovecot/master.pid to PIDFile=/run/dovecot/master.pid because systemd always shows the following warning: Dec 12 15:46:30 mail systemd[1]: /lib/systemd/system/dovecot.service:9: PIDFile= references path below legacy directory /var/run/, updating /var/run/dovecot/master.pid → /run/dovecot/master.pid; please update the unit file accordingly. creating a drop-in in /etc/systemd/system/dovecot.service.d/ doesn't do anything. greetings...

Potential issue with lmtp_rawlog_dir when using TLS

Dovecot 2.3.11.3 LMTP dropping connection after first part of multipart message received
by Steve Akerman 11 Dec '20

11 Dec '20

Good afternoon I have been using Dovecot with great success for several months now with one problem: I have received several messages (3 to date out of a much larger number) which cause Dovecot LMTP to drop the connection with sendmail after only receiving the first part of the message. Dovecot saves the first part to INBOX, and then drops the link with sendmail as it sees the rest of the data from sendmail as new (and invalid) commands Sendmail sees the delivery as unsuccessful and requeues the message, so the cycle continues until i kill the queue These messages are all Multipart MIME I have attached an extract from the log which shows the above sequence Finally, I have kept one such message from the sendmail queue (df and qf) should this be useful, but prefer not to post here as not sanitised Any help in correcting my configuration would be appreciated.

Standalone Directors
by William Edwards 11 Dec '20

11 Dec '20

Situation: We will be switching to Dovecot proxy + Director with three email clusters - each cluster will host different email domains and users - with CephFS storage. Problem: A Director instance has one 'director_mail_servers' setting, meaning I could only use one set of email servers, while the set of email servers in the cluster depends on the client's domain. (The reason I use Dovecot proxy is so people can use the same IMAP/POP/SMTP hostnames; regardless of which email server / email cluster they're hosted on.) Question: Is it possible to set 'director_mail_servers' based on the client's email domain? Met vriendelijke groeten, William Edwards

Hello, after debian version from 9 to, also dovecot was upgraded. There was problems with right imap and imap-login connection settings. I adjusted process_limit, service count increased /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn from 128 to 1024 for imap It's a system with 1000+ imap and 200+ pop3 connections. When imap connections are over 1000 problems begins.

Question about login_log_format_elements in a proxy environment
by Adi Pircalabu 08 Dec '20

08 Dec '20

Hi, I have a Dovecot proxy setup with several proxy machines (currently running 2.3.11.3) in front of the real Dovecot servers (2.3.10.1) storing the mailboxes. "doveconf -a | egrep lip" returns: login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c session=<%{session}> In the real server maillog I'm expecting to have "lip" replaced with the IP address of the proxy. It works as expected for imap-login processes, however for pop3-login processes I still see the real server IP instead of the proxy IP. Ideas? Regards, -- Adi Pircalabu

dovecot/imap killed with signal 6 after SEARCH in specific mailbox
by Jiri 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Hi All, on my older production server (Deb9 dovecot version 2.2.27-3+deb9u6) a client reported that searching text in one mailbox failed while other mailboxes do search ok. He is using Rouddcube webmail and is searching the whole messages including the body. Errorlog shows panic and assertion failed logs. So I'v moved the 'problematic' mailbox to my latest production server (Deb10 2.3.4.1-5+deb10u4 = 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4)) where I have more RAM to eliminate that and the same error appeared. There is nothing special about the mailbox, roughly 600MiB and 2200 messges. Other much larger mailboxes on the same server do search fine.

logging in to postfixadmin failed probably because of a dovecot error
by peacecop kalmer: 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

I can’t log in to postfixadmin anymore. It says that the username or password is incorrect. It can’t be incorrect as I’ve stored them in Google and “Chrome”. I have two admin accounts and none of them can’t be used for logging in. So I changed the main password with “setup.php” and copied that hash into the configuration file. Then, I deleted one of the admin accounts directly in the database from the table “admin”. Finally, I tried to recreate that deleted admin account using “setup.php”. I get the following error message: “can’t encrypt password with dovecotpw, see error log for details”. I had a look into the error log file of postfixadmin and found these complaints: [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.551048 2020] [authz_core:debug] [pid 30540] mod_authz_core.c(809): [client 192.168.1.65:54948] AH01626: authorization result of Require all granted: granted, referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.551070 2020] [authz_core:debug] [pid 30540] mod_authz_core.c(809): [client 192.168.1.65:54948] AH01626: authorization result of : granted, referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.551280 2020] [php7:warn] [pid 30540] [client 192.168.1.65:54948] PHP Warning: Cannot assign an empty string to a string offset in /usr/share/postfixadmin/variables.inc.php on line 31, referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.568128 2020] [php7:notice] [pid 30540] [client 192.168.1.65:54948] dovecotpw password encryption failed., referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.568155 2020] [php7:notice] [pid 30540] [client 192.168.1.65:54948] STDERR output: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 13: ssl_cert: Can't open file /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.tennis24.ee/fullchain.pem: Permission denied\n, referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.568897 2020] [deflate:debug] [pid 30540] mod_deflate.c(854): [client 192.168.1.65:54948] AH01384: Zlib: Compressed 1320 to 732 : URL /setup.php, referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php Is the issue connected to the permission problem?

http pipelining on auth_policy_server
by Adrian M 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Hi, I'm curious to know if dovecot can be configured to do pipelining for auth_policy in order to use less connection to the server and keep them for longer. I'm working on making a small policy server and the lack of persistent connections is a cause of overhead. Thank you !

[patch] enhancement for adding limits to solr and tika parsing
by John Fawcett 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Hi As mentioned in a previous thread, the solr + tika combination has caused me some issues due to attachment size. While tika seems to be able to parse large attachments, the resulting volume of text can overwhelm the solr server. One solution would be to throw resources at the problem, but in my case such large attachments don't contain anything worthwile indexing. Additionally I don't want people to be able to randomly crash my solr server by sending large compressed attachments that expand into huge volumes for solr. It's also a safety feature to have sane limits on what can be indexed. Attached is a first attempt to address the problem. I did not find a way to easily get actual attachment sizes, so I used an already available information - the overall message size. It may not be ideal but at least introduces limits where none existed. I have introduced two new parameters for the plugin section, for example: plugin { fts_max_size = 2M fts_max_size_tika = 1M } They can be used separately or together. Both sizes refer to the overall message size. The meaning is: fts_max_size - do not parse message bodies if the message size exceeds this value. A value of 0 indicates no limit. If the message body is not parsed, attachments are also not parsed. fts_max_size_tika - do not parse message attachments with tika if the message size exceeds this value. A value of 0 indicates no limit. If using both settings it makes sense to have fts_max_size > fts_max_size_tika, since with a smaller fts_max_size bodies are not indexed including attachments and the fts_max_size_tika will have no effect. The difference (ft_max_size - fts_max_size_tika) places an upper bound on the size of the non attachment body text that will be indexed. However, any attachments over the fts_size will automatically consume this limit and no body text will be indexed for those messages. I've only updated the tika parser not the script parser though the script parser potentially could benefit from this approach. The attached patch also includes the rolled up patch for using basic auth with the tika server and the previous posted patch (not mine) which solves an assert when using solr and tika together. John

quota-status for outgoing mail (Dovecot/Postfix)
by Peter Folta 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

[Dovecot version 2.3.11.3 (502c39af9)] Hi all, I’m using Dovecot’s quota-status service to let Postfix check the recipient’s quota before accepting emails following the guide here: https://blog.sys4.de/postfix-dovecot-mailbox-quota-en.html <https://blog.sys4.de/postfix-dovecot-mailbox-quota-en.html>. This works well for inbound emails. I would like to set up something similar for outbound email, i.e. if a user is over quota, they should not be allowed to send new emails. At the moment, the setup is in a bit of an inconsistent state: Users that have exceeded their quota are still able to send outbound emails but saving them in their Sent folder will fail leaving them without a copy. I have tried using Dovecot’s quota-status in Postfix’s smtpd_send_restrictions but didn’t get this to work. A quick look at the Dovecot source code seems to suggest that the quota-status plugin is only checking the recipient address: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/plugins/quota/quota-status.… <https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/plugins/quota/quota-status.…> and https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/plugins/quota/quota-status.… <https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/plugins/quota/quota-status.…>. I suspect it’s not possible to use the quota-status service to control outbound email but thought I’d ask to confirm. I’m wondering if there’s a different way to achieve this? Thanks Peter

Files in tmp directory
by David Morsberger 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

I had to restore many thousands of dovecot emails from a crashed Mac Server to a new Ubuntu server. After completing I am noticing a few things that may be okay or may need to be fixed. 1) a couple of mailboxes have a lot (one has 102462) emails in the tmp directory. The files do not have the standard Mairdir++ filename format. An example: 1581262582.M397740P72267.mini.mmpcrofton.com <http://1581262582.m397740p72267.mini.mmpcrofton.com/> (missing the stuff at the end, ,S=,W=:2,S) 2) I see files in the cur directory that do not have the Maildir++ format. An example: 1601287326.V810Ie80087M240104.mmp-mail.mmpcrofton.com:2,S. (do not have the ,S=,W= values and the second value, V810Ie80087M240104, is longer that the other file names) How do I get the emails in (1) out of tmp? Do I need to convert the emails in (2)? David

Combine director and HAProxy for loadbalancig and failover
by Steven Varco 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

Hi All I’m trying to achive an active/active cluster with dovecot-director and HAProxy, as the director does not do health checks (loadblancing only) and I want both, loadblancing AND failover, where the latter is far more important to me (loadblancing I would just use as an addon and for curiosity, it is not really need in my setup). However, I’m not sure if this combination can be used that way, as I found almost no documentation on this. What I found is using either directory OR haproxy with dovecot, but not both. So I guess, that the description here is intended to use without the director: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/HAProxy This older list post is basically exaclty, what I’m trying to achive: https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-July/101487.html Clients --> Load Balancer(HAProxy) --> Dovecot Proxy(DP) --> Dovecot Director(DD) --> MS1 / MS2 As far as I understood, this would require to (statically) set a host= entry for each client which would give another single point of failure? However reading the documentation: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/haproxy/ assumes that this setup IS actually possible. Unfortunately it does not describe how dovecot must be setup at this point. So I assume since HAProxy is listening on port 1143 (for IMAP) and dovecot (with directror enabled) is listening on port 143, which is the main entry point for clients. So in this setup dovecot-director should first pass the mail traffic to HAProxy on port 1143 and then HAProxy passes it to the actual imap servers? So how would the dovecot setup on the director servers look like and how on the dovecot imap mail servers? My setup consist of each two machines: loadblancer (with HAProxy and dovecot-director) and dovecot imap servers. Last but not least, I found documentation for „dovemon“, which, if I got that correctly, should replace the external tool „poolmon“: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/dovemon/ - However, I could not find out where the configuration YAML file (/etc/dovecot/dovemon.config.yml) should get included in the main dovecot configuration. By default this file would not be included at all and therefore would have no effect… thanks. Steven My setup: LOADBALANCERS: Currently one only running on: 10.0.2.26 haproxy: Exactly as: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/haproxy/ where the backend servers line have been replaced with the mail servers. dovecot -n #

Server-side threading
by ohw.giles＠gmail.com 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

Hi list, Considering a message A in INBOX, where a reply B is sent and copied to the recipient's SENT folder, and to which a reply-to-reply C is received, again in INBOX, how should the list of threads in INBOX be (ideally) retrieved? Using THREADS=REFS when listing threads in INBOX to avoid matching unrelated threads unfortunately seems to miss the above example because B is only in SENT, not INBOX. REFERENCES allows A to be linked to C, but the sent message is missing from the returned thread. Of course this is by design. When listing messages in a selected mailbox, many modern clients provide the experience of listing the messages grouped by thread, showing all threads where *at least one message in the thread is in the selected mailbox*. IIUC, clients usually build their own indexes to achieve this, which seems wasteful. Does dovecot provide a server-side way to list or search messages and return threaded results in this manner?

Any RPMs for aarch64 available?
by Peter Cooper Jr. 04 Dec '20

04 Dec '20

Hey, I really appreciate Dovecot being available with standard repos in repo.dovecot.org. I'm currently using the "CentOS 7" one on Amazon Linux 2 and it works great for x86_64. I'm wondering if there are any plans for also providing arm builds (aarch64) at some point? Or if they're available somewhere else already? I may play around with compiling things myself, but just downloading an official package is generally the easier way to go so I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks, Peter

follow up to my mail issues I posted about
by Christy S 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

Okay. A few days late, but I've gone through the replies I received from several of you and consolidated responses into one mail. Of course life gets crazy when I need to sit down and work on things. "It seems to me Thunderbird is struggling to write to the Sent mailbox, so disk space, and file permissions are the obvious ones to check. And yes, on the server rather than your local machine, as you're using IMAP" It's definitely not disc space. I wouldn't think an upgrade would change permissions, but it's a place to check. I'm showing my newbieness here but, I'm not even sure what account should have access to those files. I know, it's a miracle I got all this working in the first place. I should have taken notes, but I did so much fiddling with this and that to make it behave that I didn't know what to write down. "Anything interesting in the dovecot logs at the time when you check?" So I looked up dovecot logs on google, and what I'm seeing is that dovecot generally writes to mail logs under /var/log. The stuff I sent in my first email came from mail.err in that folder. The only other file I could find was mail.log. Using tail on that file, I see entries like these. Dec 2 20:53:07 kylesmith-music postfix/smtpd[396853]: warning: unknown[212.70.149.37]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6 Dec 2 20:53:07 kylesmith-music postfix/smtpd[396853]: disconnect from unknown[212.70.149.37] ehlo=1 auth=0/1 rset=1 quit=1 commands=3/4 There are similar entries from a different ip address, but interestingly neither match the ip address of our fiber modem so I have no idea what's going on there. "First, do you have a backup prior to upgrading the server? You may want to refer to that to get a clean idea of how the configuration was set up initially. Sometimes the upgrade process can reset configuration files and its usually easier to work from a known working configuration. " I really wish I did, but I'm not sure how to effectively back up a VPS. "Second, can you describe how you set the mail stack you are using up?" I can tell you it's postfix and dovecot. That's what a lot of articles recommended, so I went with that. We use different devices so I chose to use imap as it interfaces directly with the stored mail on the server. Usually this is good, except now when it breaks. "Its possible the issue is SSL related but its difficult to say. There have been a number of breaks with SSL encryption in recent years which is why the cipher list has been adjusted," SSL is definitely my weakest point of knowledge. I know I had it working smoothly but it was basically following how to stuff. The reason we're using it even for mail has to do with someone in my husband's life who would get in and mess things up if he had the chance, so I'm trying to make sure he doesn't have that chance by locking things down tight. "google can also be out of date I'd recommend using a date filter when using it for checking configurations and limit it only to the last 1-2 years as you will get more relevant information typically." Oh my gosh, that alone would be extremely helpful. The number of seriously outdated articles I had to filter through when I set this up in the first place is just unreal. Mind telling me how to do a date filter? Otherwise, I'll google how to use google, hahaha. "The configuration parameter for the cipher list uses HIGH as a default profile and if I recall correctly that disables lower TLS versions that are susceptible to certain types of attacks. (SSL3,TLS1,TLS1.1,1.2 I think) The dovecot documentation explains what the defaults are for HIGH. The ! prevents using specifica protocols and configuration is usually a chain (processed from left to right until a match is found). DH is the diffie-helman exchange. Usually this file is recalculated on a per server basis to prevent pre-calculation attacks on SSL and usually it must meet a certain key length. DH Groups 1 and 2 are known to be insecure." Okay, that went way over my head, but it sounds like good information to have and study up more on, hopefully after I get the immediate issue solved. If I'm following you correctly at all though I could see that potentially being my issue, hmm. I will for sure see if I can get my hands on that book. "Some quick thoughts here — if the changes you mentioned did not solve the issue, I would definitely comment those back out so you are only troubleshooting one thing at a time." Fair point. I commented out the one about dh high, then hopefully reloaded the configuration, dovecot reload? That done, I tried sending an email from the domain to my gmail using thunderbird. I got the same message, but it did actually send this time. However, when I replied to the test message with my gmail account, it wasn't received by thunderbird. I do see it using the mail app on the server, though. "Next, are you able to send email using any other client?" I can send mail locally on the server from one account to another for sure. I managed it once, at least. Those mail clients seem clunky though so I may not be doing things correctly to test. "Third, try disabling all SSL and see if you are able to send via Thunderbird or really, any client at all…" Is there an easy way to disable ssl for now and then reenable it? That would definitely help narrow this down. "Your DH parameters are too weak. You should generate at least 2048 byte parameters." To be honest, I don't even recall setting up DH parameters. I would guess that probably happened when I was setting up ssl? Again, thank you to each of you for helping with this. I really try not to send stuff like this to mailing lists that are technical in nature, but this is important business mail he's potentially missing and I'm a bit out of my league. First project once this gets fixed will be learning how to back up the server. Christy

Meanwhile, I also found the fix from October. I can confirm that the issue occurred on 2.3.11.3 only. I switched to the previous version (which is pretty easy thanks to Docker) and the issue disappeared. All messages were indexed properly afterwards. I applied the fix and will observe it for the next couple of days. The assertions have been misplaced anyway from my viewpoint because the asserted fields (or properties or whatever, I don't know how they're called in C) are not accessed in every case. I am happy that this is scheduled for 2.3.13. Although, I hope that the payload_input or payload_output won't be NULL when payload_finished is true. :) Thanks a lot to you guys for all the effort. I would not be able to resolve this on my own without your help. Best, Manuel

Error: Mailbox INBOX: Sync failed
by Jos Chrispijn 02 Dec '20

02 Dec '20

Just saw in my logfile this line appeared: imap(xxxxxx)<56614><CMMJw9i0aoBSsH9H>: Error: Mailbox INBOX: Sync failed for mbox: Expunged message reappeared to mailbox (UID 174550 < 174552, seq=11, idx_msgs=9) Looks like messages' UIDs are mixed up? I thought that if Dovecot sees broken X-UID headers for "new" messages, they're silently fixed? Can you tell how I can correct this error/warning? Thanks! BR, Jos

director_username_hash = %d and doveadm director map
by Ralf Becker 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Our directors hash by domain (director_username_hash = %d), as some of our users share folders with other users of the same domain. We now started using director tags to map domains to their backends. Unfortunately doveadm director map seems no to work with director_username_hash = %d user hash mail server ip expire time <unknown> 432784257 10.44.88.1 2020-11-23 13:10:55 <unknown> 4244233328 10.44.88.1 2020-11-23 13:13:55 <unknown> 1913982503 10.44.88.1 2020-11-23 13:15:40 How can I check to which backend / IP a domain is maped, aka how is that hash calculated? doveadm director move seems also not to do anything meaningful for %d, or at least I have not found out how to use it to move a domain to a different backend.

Dovecot cannot access mailcrypt decryption key

A probably dumb question, but I'm stumped
by Christy S 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Hi folks, I'm stumped on an error we're getting in dovecot after upgrading ubuntu. I will say up front that I'm far from a linux expert. I'm helping my husband by managing a virtual private server to handle his domain, including its email. We set this up two years ago and once I finally got the mail working, it's been humming along just fine since, until two days ago when I performed the ubuntu upgrade. Now, when we try to send mail through his domain thunderbird gives this error: Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. Note that it says this, but the mail isn't actually sent at all. We are using SSL and have been since the beginning which might be part of our problem, but I'm not positive. A google search suggested adding two lines to the 10-ssl.conf file. ssl_dh = </usr/share/dovecot/dh.pem ssl_cipher_list = HIGH:!DH:!aNULL I did both of these things and restarted the server completely, but no luck. looking in /var/log/mail.err I see this. Nov 29 14:08:56 kylesmith-music dovecot: imap-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL server context: Can't load SSL cert ificate: error:140AB18F:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_certificate:ee key too small: user=<>, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, session=<t4qrdkS1kPNLFhL4> What's interesting is that last line only showed up after I added the two lines to the config file. My guess is I need to do something with SSL, update it maybe? But I don't want to go fiddling around purely on a guess and potentially break things even more. So, any of you much more linux familiar types want to point me in the right direction? Thanks! Christy

Repo for ubuntu focal 20.04 LTS
by Sébastien Riccio 27 Nov '20

27 Nov '20

Hello Dovecot, As the new ubuntu LTS 20.04 seems to be out, I would like to ask if there are any plans to add a repo like it already exists for 18.04 LTS. We planned to upgrade our 18.04 LTS boxes to 20.04. It has it’s own dovecot packages (2.3.7 at the time of writing this), but I would prefer we use your repositories like we do with 18.04. Kind regards, Sébastien

Dovecot alternatives with good i18n support?
by David Bürgin 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Hello! I’m interested in exploring alternative IMAP servers that have good support for internationalised email, such as support for SMTPUTF8, IDN mail domains, Unicode local-part, etc. etc. If you used to use Dovecot, and found an alternative that does such things well, I would very much like to hear it. Thank you, -- David

Panic: file istream-seekable.c: line 226
by Eric Mauger 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Hi, I have a lot of Panic in my logs. They happen almost every day and never on the same user. When it happens, the mail is not distributed (it's always lda). I discovered it because my Sympa server had a lot of users in error. The last error (below) was a local user sending a mail to 10 users : 3 of them never get the email. I've looked into my logs and discovered it started after the upgrade from 2.2.27 to 2.3.4 in february. I'm on Debian. This week, I installed the dovecot repo and upgraded to the very last and same thing. The error below happened after the latest upgrade.

Dovecot+Solr+Tika segmentation fault
by Manuel Josupeit-Walter 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

Hi all, I am running a mail server for family and friends based on Dovecot and Docker. Today I made a weird observation which I must have overlooked for a long time so far because they logs were written to the journal. However, I am usually only investigating the Docker logs. It seems that some e-mail indexing leads to segfaults and it seems to be related only with Solr and Tika. I have auto-indexing turned on so sometimes the indexer-worker crashes when moving mails from one folder to the other or searching for mails otherwise. Also, if I try to manually reindex using doveadm index, the doveadm process quits with a segfault. I am always running the most recent Dovecot version, in this case 2.3.11.3, but I am not neccessarily up-to-date with Solr or Tika. I am on Solr Version 7.4 and Tika 1.24.1. On the console I am receiving Tika errors and on the Solr Webinterface I see a couple of Ealry EOFs as well. I am not a Linux expert from a dev perspective, but it seems to me that the client (Dovecot) closes the connection prematurely. Does anyone have a hint? I am happy to provide more information if required. I need to know how to collect them, though. Best, Manuel The following can be found in the journald logs during the attempt to reindex my Sent mailbox with doveadm index: Nov 24 16:59:49 server.name tika[988]: INFO tika/ (application/pdf) Nov

Dovecot authentication hangs when ldap_start_tls_s() fails for invalid certificate
by sebastiano degan 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

On a Debian10 I've installed postfix 3.4.14 and dovecot 2.3.4.1. I've configured multiple passdb sources and I expect that if one fails the other ones are tested. This is usually the case, except when the failure is due to an invalid certificate from the ldap server. In that case all authentication attempts from that moment on will fail. I've trimmed down the configuration as much as possible (see below), and this is the syslog output of my tests: TEST 1 - Everything is configured correctly: No output on syslog TEST 2 - Wrong hostname as a ldap server: Auth attempt 1: Nov 19 11:25:29 debian dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-passdb.conf.ext: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Can't contact LDAP server Nov 19 11:25:29 debian dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf.ext: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Can't contact LDAP server Nov 19 11:25:29 debian dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-passdb.conf.ext: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Can't contact LDAP server Nov 19 11:25:35 debian dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-passdb.conf.ext: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Can't contact LDAP server Auth attempt 2: Nov 19 11:25:57 debian dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-passdb.conf.ext: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Can't contact LDAP server Nov 19 11:25:59 debian dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-passdb.conf.ext: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Can't contact LDAP server Auth attempt 3: Nov 19 11:26:28 debian dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-passdb.conf.ext: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Can't contact LDAP server Nov 19 11:26:30 debian dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-passdb.conf.ext: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Can't contact LDAP server TEST 3 - Invalid certificate: Attempt 1: Nov 19 11:21:20 debian dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-passdb.conf.ext: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Connect error Nov 19 11:21:20 debian dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf.ext: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Connect error No output on other attempts...

You need to configure stats service client limit and imap service client limit. Those are different services than imap-login service.

last-login Plugin
by Andrea Gabellini 16 Nov '20

Hello, i'm using last_login plugin and store data into a MySql DB. I'm using version 2.3.10.1 and the config is at the end of the email. I would like to store also the remote IP and the session name. The config is working but other informations are written only the first time. Any update is ignored but last_login time. Debugging MySQL, I notice that dovecot is using this query: INSERT INTO last_login (last_login,userid,rip,protocol,session) VALUES (1605350938,'xxxx',x.x.x.x','imap','jLFs5A609cdSN4Wh') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE last_login=1605350938 How can I modify the configuration? conf.d/95-last_login.conf: dict { lastlogin = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-last-login.conf.ext } plugin { last_login_dict = proxy::lastlogin last_login_key = last-login/%u/%r/%s/%{session} } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins last_login } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins last_login } dovecot-last-login.conf.ext: connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=dovecot user=xxx password=xxx map { pattern = shared/last-login/$userid/$rip/$service/$session table = last_login value_field = last_login value_type = uint fields { userid = $userid rip = $rip protocol = $service session = $session } } -- __________________________ UNIX is user friendly.

[patch] enhancement for tika server protected by user/password basic auth
by John Fawcett 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

Hi The existing code is designed for a tika server on local host, or on a remote host that is either accessable to all or for example taht is protected by ip restrictions via a proxy in front of it. I've configured a tika server behind an apache proxy which enforces basic auth, but sending basic auth credentials for a tika server is not currently supported by Dovecot. The following patch allows to have user and password specified in the fts_tika url in much the same way you can for fts_solr. fts_tika = https://user:password@tika_host/tika John --- dovecot-2.3.11.3-orig/src/plugins/fts/fts-parser-tika.c 2020-08-12 14:20:41.000000000 +0200 +++ dovecot-2.3.11.3/src/plugins/fts/fts-parser-tika.c 2020-11-15 15:18:24.351281064 +0100 @@ -57,7 +57,7 @@ tuser = p_new(user->pool, struct fts_parser_tika_user, 1); MODULE_CONTEXT_SET(user, fts_parser_tika_user_module, tuser); - if (http_url_parse(url, NULL, 0, user->pool, + if (http_url_parse(url, NULL, HTTP_URL_ALLOW_USERINFO_PART, user->pool, &tuser->http_url, &error) < 0) { i_error("fts_tika: Failed to parse HTTP url %s: %s", url, error); return -1; @@ -152,6 +152,11 @@ http_url->host.name, t_strconcat(http_url->path, http_url->enc_query, NULL), fts_tika_parser_response, parser); + if (http_url->user != NULL) { + http_client_request_set_auth_simple( + http_req, http_url->user, http_url->password); + } + http_client_request_set_port(http_req, http_url->port); http_client_request_set_ssl(http_req, http_url->have_ssl); if (parser_context->content_type != NULL)

Submission service capabilities listing
by Dan 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

Hello all, I'm attempting to implement a submission server with questions in regards to how Dovecot handles the backend hosts capabilities. To my understanding, Dovecot will connect to the host specified in either submission_host or submission_relay_host, and gather a list of capabilities. Once gathered, after the client sends the EHLO greeting Dovecot will respond back with capabilities that the backend host is capable of. My question is, When does this occur? Running a tcpdump with the filter set to the relay host IP, I don't see any traffic until after I send the EHLO command. Dovecot states that CHUNKING is available, but the backend host does not have that capability. Is there a way to disable CHUNKING explicitly? Thanks. submission_relay_host = x.x.x.x submission_host = x.x.x.x submission_relay_ssl = no submission_relay_ssl_verify = no protocol submission { passdb { driver = static args = host=x.x.x.x proxy=y nopassword=y port=587 } }

How do Cerbot files map to Dovecot?
by Raymond Herrera 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

I am postponing the Apache plugin issue (CentOS is not Certbot friendly) and requesting a standalone, generic certificate. After the command "1: Spin up a temporary webserver" I have the following 2 files in the folder /etc/letsencrypt: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 924 Nov 12 11:14 csr/0000_csr-certbot.pem -rw------- 1 root root 1708 Nov 12 11:14 keys/0000_key-certbot.pem The "key" is probably a direct replacement for the file in the distribution. What about the "csr" file? It seems to be a request, not the certificate itself. TIA

The snaps application is not supported by RedHat/CentOS. The solution is simple, just use: # yum install certbot The new error message is this: # certbot certonly --apache Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log Could not choose appropriate plugin: The requested apache plugin does not appear to be installed The requested apache plugin does not appear to be installed I am trying to find which is the "requested apache plugin". The log mentions "authenticator". I am hoping that an Apache Certificate will be useful for Dovecot.

Support TLS for pure remote doveadm commands
by Vincent Brillault 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Dear all, A lot of doveadm commands (e.g. backup/sync, deduplicate, mailbox) support a `-S` (a.k.a `socket-path`) argument that allows to run the command remotely. Unfortunately, I think that there is a bug in the handling of the TLS configuration for this feature. After a bit of debugging, I think it's simply due to doveadm_mail_server_user_get_host (https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/doveadm/doveadm-mail-server…) bailing out too quickly: It's used by doveadm_mail_server_user (https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/doveadm/doveadm-mail-server…) to set its `user`, `host`, `hostip`, `port` and `ssl_flags`. When doveadm_port is not (or set to 0): - `user` is set to `input->username`: OK - `host` is set to `ctx->set->doveadm_socket_path` (the content of the `-S` option): OK - `hostip` is not set: OK (Later on, the `host` is used in that case) - `port` is set to 0: This is OK, as when the `hostip` (or rather the `server->ip` later in the code) is not set, this is only the default, the port is extracted from the `host` (or rather `server->name`) - `ssl_flags` is not modified: this is not OK as there is nothing else modifying it! Bailing out just a few line later (as in https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/dovecot/core/pull/145.patch) fixes the issue for me. To reproduce the issue, with dovecot-2.3.11.3-4, you will need two systems, A & B: A needs to have dovecot configured and port 9091 open in its firewall for B. B just need dovecot to be installed. - Testing without TLS: - Add the following to A's dovecot configuration (and reload it): ``` service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 9091 } } doveadm_password=VeryRandomString ``` - On B, create a file X containing (only): ``` doveadm_password=VeryRandomString ``` - On B, running `doveadm -c X mailbox list -u ${existing_user} -S ${A}:9091` should return the mailbox list - Switching to TLS: - Replace what was added to A's dovecot configuration (and reload it) with: ``` service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 9091 ssl = yes } } doveadm_password=VeryRandomString doveadm_ssl = ssl # Not strictly required ``` - On B, create a file Y containing (only): ``` doveadm_password=VeryRandomString doveadm_ssl=yes ``` - On B, running `doveadm -c Y mailbox list -u ${existing_user} -S ${A}:9091` will not work. - On A, you should see in the logs: `dovecot[16435]: doveadm(${B}): Error: SSL handshake failed: SSL_accept() failed: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol` Applying the patch mentioned above makes the 2nd case work. What do you think? Cheers, Vincent

Recommended Protocols?
by Raymond Herrera 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Hello all: For several years I have been running the following in a Linux server. Dovecot Version: 2.0.9 *IMAP:* Connection Security: SSL/TLS Port: 993 Authentication Method: Normal Password *SMTP:* Connection Security: STARTTLS Port: 587 Authentication Method: Normal Password The E-mail client is Thunderbird on Windows. I am preparing a new server, with Dovecot 2.2.36 and would like to know the currently recommended protocols. Should I stick to what I have? I would prefer to start with the easiest configuration possible, which I will revise later. This is the command that I have been using to verify the server's functionality: % openssl s_client -connect localhost:imaps TIA

SSL alert number 42
by Raymond Herrera 11 Nov '20

This is a followup to my thread "Recommended Protocols?". The error message is as follows: dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: TLS: SSL_read() failed: SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:sslv3 alert bad certificate: SSL alert number 42 I have selected both SSL/TLS and STARTTLS on the Thunderbird side, with identical results. The first question that I have is this. Is there any way to know whether that error messages comes from an attempt to read: (a) The server SSL certificate? (b) The client SSL certificate? Please find attached 2 log files. I am essentially using the distribution files as they come from the box. TIA

Recovering expunged but not purged e-mails from mdbox with zlib compression
by Daniel Schütze 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

Yesterday I had to recover an e-mail which a user had deleted. If I understand this correctly the message was expunged but not purged (doveadm purge had not been run). This e-mail was clearly still in the mdbox stored with zlib compression as I could tell using the doveadm dump command (doveadm dump -t dbox filename). I could however not reveal the e-mail with the normal doveadm fetch -u username "body" guid (guid from dump output) In the end I was able to recover the e-mail by cutting it out from the mdbox and running gunzip over it, but this method was very fiddly and would not have worked for a bulk job. I appreciate I could have just deleted the index files and gotten all the deleted messages back by having the index rebuilt but that would have been the proverbial "hammer to crack a nut". Fortunately this e-mail had no attachment for me to worry about, as those are also detached for sis by dovecot. Can anyone tell me of a quick and easy way to recover one or multiple e-mails marked as expunged but not purged which are stored in a mdbox with zlib compression? I'm sure I'll have to do this again the future and my method wouldn't work with a folder! Clearly if I was not using zlib compression I could just have read the contents of the mdbox without any complication. -- Daniel Schütze Director ------------------ CWA International Ltd 5th Floor, 42 Trinity Square London EC3N 4DJ (t) + 44 (0)20 7242 8444 (e) dms(a)cwa.uk.com (w) http://www.cwa.international/

Sieve body test
by ＠lbutlr 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

I have an email where I need to edit the body. I know this is generally a bad idea, but in this case I need to do it. The email comes in automatically every week or two, and so I thought that SIEVE would be the way to go. if header :contains "from" "theaddress@tehdomain" { if body :raw :contains "A string" { # Magic happens here } } It looks like what I need to do is enable and use vnd.dovecot.filter to pipe the message to a script. (Er. | not vnd.dovecot.pipe) So, if I wanted to transform the message so that the string "foobar13" was changed to "foo-bar-13" I would add filter :try "myfoobarfix.sh" After "magic happens here"> OK so far? Now, what are the requirements on the executable script? Would it literally be as simple as an executable file that simply said sed -e '|foobar13|foo-bar-13|g' Or does it need to be a shebang script and take input on $1 and … ? And lastly, where do the executable scripts need to be? https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dovecot/pigeonhole/master/doc/rfc/spec-bo… says "the external programs cannot be chosen arbitrarily; the available programs are restricted through administrator configuration", but no details on exactly how that is configured. -- "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" Pinky: I think so, Brain. But if I put on two tutu's, would I really be wearing a four-by-four? Brain: Why do I even bother asking? Pinky: I dunno, Brain. Maybe it's all part of some huge, cosmic plot formula!

DOP-1414 sieve vacation address matching is case sensitive
by Mathieu Gosset 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hello, One year ago a bug was reported regarding pigeonhole vacation plugin https://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg78588.html a mail sent to User(a)domain.com instead of user(a)domain.com will generate a " vacation action: discarding vacation response for implicitly delivered message; no known (envelope) recipient address found in message headers (recipient=<user(a)domain.com>, and no additional `:addresses' are specified)" and no auto-response will be sent the problem seems to be located in /src/lib-sieve/plugins/vacation/cmd-vacation.c and the _contains_my_address_() function the comparison is done using dovecot's lib-smtp (src/lib-smtp/smtp-address.h) smtp_address_equals() function, which returns smtp_address_cmp(.) == 0; smtp_address_cmp() does a case insensitive comparison of the domain parts (using null_strcasecmp()) and a case sensitive comparison of the local parts (using null_strcmp()) There is probably a good reason why the local parts comparison is case sensitive within smtp_address_cmp(), but having vacation rely on that function causes the problem described above. Is there any plan to fix that ? Regards

HIGHESTMODSEQ replication issue
by Gustavo Ajeitos [Office365] 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hello, I'm using dovecot 2.3.10 in OpenSUSE and I have configured a master/master replication between two backends, it works well but I have found an issue with the replication of the HIGHESTMODSEQ. When I move a set of message from a mailbox to other, e.g. move 3 messages from INBOX to Junk, the HIGHESTMODSEQ get different on each server, with no errors in the log: [Borrador] 34:34 [Sent] 63:63 [Drafts] 12:12 [Trash] 146:146 [Junk] 219:218 [INBOX] 1133:1130 It can be fixed executing a full sync: $ sudo doveadm -D -v sync -u user(a)test.priv -d -l 30 -U But it is not a solution because it happens all the time that a user move messages. I'm using ActiveSync and the ActiveSync server use the HIGHESTMODSEQ as part of the synchronization key (sync_key), so in that situation the server detect changes on the mailbox if it connects to the backend with a different HIGHESTMODSEQ that it previously cached, causing a loop beetween the ActiveSync server and the the email client, where the server constantly inform email client about nonexistent changes. Could it be a bug in Dovecot replication? How can I solve it? Best regards, Gustavo Ajeitos

Following https://serverfault.com/questions/605342/migrating-from-any-imap-pop3-serve… I did it with: doveadm -D -v \ -o imapc_host=mail.oldserver.tld \ -o imapc_user=contact(a)domain.org \ -o imapc_password=xxxxxxx \ -o imapc_features=rfc822.size \ -o imapc_ssl=starttls \ -o ssl_client_ca_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \ -o mail_fsync=never \ sync -1 -R -u contact(a)domain.org imapc: Btw I am facing with exactly the same error than: https://serverfault.com/questions/960264/doveadm-backup-doesnt-transfer-mai… I.e. it works fine for all subfolders, but the root INBOX stay empty on the new server. Those debug messages tell me something seems wrong with INBOX root but I am unable to understand them: dsync(contact(a)domain.tld): Debug: brain M: Local mailbox tree: INBOX guid=deadbeefdeabbeefdeadbeefdeabbeef uid_validity=1604137198 uid_next=1 subs=no last_change=0 last_subs=0 dsync(contact(a)domain.tld): Debug: brain S: Remote mailbox tree: INBOX guid=deadbeefdeabbeefdeadbeefdeabbeef uid_validity=1604137198 uid_next=1 subs=no last_change=0 last_subs=0 dsync(contact(a)domain.tld): Debug: brain M: Mailbox INBOX: local=deadbeefdeabbeefdeadbeefdeabbeef/0/1, remote=00000000000000000000000000000000/0/0: mailbox not selectable yet dsync(contact(a)domain.tld): Debug: brain S: Mailbox INBOX: local=00000000000000000000000000000000/0/0, remote=deadbeefdeabbeefdeadbeefdeabbeef/0/1: mailbox not selectable yet dsync(contact(a)domain.tld): Debug: brain S: Ignore nonexistent mailbox GUID deadbeefdeabbeefdeadbeefdeabbeef with -1 sync dsync(contact(a)domain.tld): Debug: brain S: We don't have mailbox deadbeefdeabbeefdeadbeefdeabbeef dsync(contact(a)domain.tld): Debug: brain M: Change during sync: Remote lost mailbox GUID deadbeefdeabbeefdeadbeefdeabbeef (maybe it was just deleted?) dsync(contact(a)domain.tld): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync.

Hello I have this issue for Xapian plugin: https://github.com/grosjo/fts-xapian/issues/62 But I am not sure where can it comes from. Is dovecot calling some specific function in the plugin after the init, that would create such error ? In doveadm dealing differently with plugins that dovecot core does ? Has there been some recent changes in the plugin framework that would lead to such error ? Thank you

Understanding the limitations of Dovecot Submission Service
by R. Diez 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

Hi all: The Dovecot Submission Service is very enticing for laz... I mean for busy people like me. A couple of lines in dovecot.conf , and you have a local SMTP server that does authentication. No SASL loops to jump through! Very cool people like me also appreciate cool new features like BURL. But now I want to understand its limitations. Say I just bought e-mail domain xxx(a)example.org . Say employee A has e-mail address a(a)example.org . It this employee turns evil, will he/she be able to send e-mails impersonating b(a)example.org ? Or does the Dovecot Submission Service check that he only has permission to send as a(a)example.org ? My requirements are pretty modest. Basically e-mail should just be sent all right. But are there any other reasons why I should avoid the Dovecot Submission Server anyway? The documentation does not really say much. Thanks in advance, rdiez

Hello, on my dovecot-replicator-backend I see lots of panic-messages "assertion failed: (ctx->nested_parts_count > 0)", produced from a single user. I assume that this is correlated with https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/a668d767a710ca18ab6e7177d8e8be22a6b0… How can I identify the incorrect formatted message in the user's mailbox?

Feature Request: Redis support for username and TLS
by Mark Moseley 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

I was wondering if there was any imminent support in 2.3.12+ for using a username to log into Redis, as well as support for using TLS to connect to Redis. And if not, I'd like to put in a feature request for those two things (AUTH with username/password, and TLS connections to Redis). Specifically, I was looking at using a username/password combo to log into Redis for the quota_clone plugin. I found the 'password' param in the source (not documented at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Dictionary) There's no 'username' param (the 'username' in the source seems to refer to the mailbox, for the purpose of building the key name). Redis 6 supports authenticating with a username and password, as well as the ability to listen on a TLS-enabled port. Both of these significantly improve security, combined with the new ACL system. Obviously, these Redis 6 features are brand new, so I'd be shocked if they were already supported. But it'd be awesome if those were added to Dovecot :) Currently, I've got a localhost Envoy proxy doing TCP proxying from localhost+non-TLS to my Redis TLS port, which is a kludge at best. There's a neat Envoy Redis proxy that *almost* does the trick but the Envoy Redis proxy unfortunately doesn't support MULTI/EXEC, which Dovecot quota_clone uses, or I'd be using that instead of a plain TCP proxy (since the Envoy Redis proxy can use a username/password+tls to connect to the upstream Redis).

Delivering locally through the Submission Server
by R. Diez 03 Nov '20

03 Nov '20

Hi all: I am learning Dovecot step by step. I have enabled the Submission Server, in the hope that I would not need to learn other MTAs like Postfix. The Submission Server is very comfortable: it picks up the existing Dovecot configuration, so that you do not need to configure any user authentication separately. It is working fine on my test setup. My first thought was that, if the recipient is a local mailbox, the Submission Server would not need to relay the message to any external SMTP server, as it could just deliver it locally. After all, it is running on the same Dovecot. But it cannot do that, can it? Is there a work-around? I am still hoping that the mail server still works locally if the Internet connection fails. But I would need to learn some Postfix magic for that, would I? Thanks in advance, rdiez

API support for placing a message for a specific user
by Oren Yehezkely 03 Nov '20

Hello, I am trying to find out if Dovecot API allows placing a message directly in a customer's mailbox, without needing to send the email via SMTP. Thanks for your help, Oren

removing 'use_libfts' from dovecot fts_solr config; docs/examples of solr-backend-only tokenizer config for dovecot?
by PGNet Dev 02 Nov '20

02 Nov '20

given existing problems with fts_solr = ... use_libfts ... i've rm'd it from dovecot config, and am moving all tokenization to solr config. iiuc, in dovecot + solr context, that's correctly config'd in solr/data/dovecot/conf/schema.xml dovecot release ships with 'starter configs', cp -af /usr/share/doc/dovecot/solr-config-7.7.0.xml /path/to/solr/data/dovecot/conf/solrconfig.xml cp -af /usr/share/doc/dovecot/solr-schema-7.7.0.xml /path/to/solr/data/dovecot/conf/schema.xml that^ schema.xml contains a limited solr.StandardTokenizerFactory config. it can of course be extended; lots of generic solr config info available. is there _documentation_, preferably a good example, of a dovecot-'friendly' solr config for non-"use_libfts" use case? specifically, moving any/all of the libfts front-end tokenizers @ https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/tokenization/#fts-tokeniza… https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/fts-plugin/#plugin-fts-setting-fts-… fully to a backend solr instance? i suspect that solr config is fairly well insulated from dovecot's; what i'm not sure of is if dovecot's fts has specific requirements to get the backend-only tokenization working.

It's a choice. You can let solr perform the tokenization etc. or you can let dovecot do it. There is no recommendation when using solr. It seems that use_libfts is broken with solr due to reasons, so I guess the only option for now is not to use it. Aki

sieve-extdata plugin breaks on pigeonhole 0.5 ish
by Ed W 01 Nov '20

01 Nov '20

Hi, I wonder if someone could give me a little help bringing the sieve-extdata plugin up to date to be usable with latest Dovecot/pigeonhole Trying to use both together at present I get an error: managesieve: Fatal: Couldn't load required plugin /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/lib90_sieve_extdata_plugin.so: dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/lib90_sieve_extdata_plugin.so: undefined symbol: sieve_sys_error This appears to be due to the change in error handling in pigeonhole 0.5 which appears to have removes the "sieve_sys_error()" and "sieve_sys_warning()" functions I'm unclear how this code should be change (I've commented it out for now - eek). I find this extension useful to pass in user specific parameters to my sieve scripts that are stored elsewhere in an sql database, eg spam score, size threshold for attachments, perhaps there is some other way to achieve this? Any hints on how to fixing this would be appreciated Thanks Ed W

Dovecot, sa-learn and sieve - where to save the Bayes DB
by Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay 31 Oct '20

31 Oct '20

Hi! I have dovecot, Spamassassin and postfix running. I started to use sa-learn to get better and more precise spam identification and filtering. I have not set the Bayes_path preference on my local.cf file, thus when I call sa-learn -u myuser(a)mydomain.org --spam, the Bayes DB gets updated at /root/.spamassassin. I decided then to create a sieve filter on dovecot, as described on Dovecot's wiki page. Basically, Dovecot's sieve plugin execute sa-learn with a -u argument, apparently the same way I do when I use it manually. BUT, the thing is that when Dovecot executes sa-learn, the bayes database is created on the virtual user's folder, ie., /var/mail/vmail/mydomain.org/user/.spamassassin. When I call it manually, the db used is /root/.spamassassin` I am now confused as I don't know if, when evaluating spam, spamd will use the Bayes DB on the user's Maildir, or if it will use the one under /root/.spamassassin. I would really like to have my spam evaluation done per user, not site wide, so I wonder: - How can I configure bayes_path for each user, individually, on a virtual users setup? - Does calling spamd with --virtual-config-dir have anything to do with this? I tried it, setting it up with my virtual users path, but it didn't seem to make any difference when it comes to what I describe in this post. With or without it set up, the results above are the same. -- Francis Augusto Medeiros-Logeay Oslo, Norway

Odd replication behaviour
by James Pattinson 31 Oct '20

31 Oct '20

Hi, I have just built a new pair of similar machines both running CentOS 8.2 (selinux disabled) and Dovecot 2.3.8 (9df20d2db). One machine is a VPS (host A) and one is on my home network (host B). The idea is that they are set up in a master/master config with Dovecot replication. I seem to have this 95% working but there is one strange issue I can’t work out. Currently B is a perfect replica of A. I have pointed an instance of Thunderbird at it, and I can see all my mails. If I delete any mails or change any flags, I see the same changes almost instantly on the A side. PROBLEM: if host A receives a new mail, I don’t see it on B until I do ‘something’ to change metadata, for example deleting any random email, or marking an email as read on EITHER side causes the new email to appear almost instantly on the B side. I would have expected emails on B to appear immediately. Am I doing something wrong? Extra info - my mailboxes are in Maildir format with single OS user (vmail). I have about 4000 emails in the Inbox and about 30k in other folders. There are only 5 users and I’m using passdb as the very simple backend. Replication is via doveadm on a specified port (not SSH).

Sieve filter script EXECUTION FAILED
by ＠lbutlr 31 Oct '20

31 Oct '20

So, I have the sieve working up to the point that it calls the script, and the script is called (I get different errors if the script is not there, for example). filter action execute program `darkmode.sh' [[EXECUTION ABORTED]] There's no other error logged (for example, when I had sieve_filter_bin_dir miss-set, I would get: sieve: action filter: failed to execute program `darkmode.sh': vnd.dovecot.filter extension is unconfigured In /var/log/messages, but I fixed that. I assume there is something wrong with what I am doing in the script, bit that is something I am not finding any examples on that are proving useful. The script file is simply: Darkmode.sh: #!/bin/sh echo $1 | sed -e '|</head>|<style>* {color:white !important; background-color: black !important; } </style></head>|' Which is somehwat similar to a working script for reporting spam: sa-learn-spam.sh: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/sa-learn -u ${1} --spam -- "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" "I think so, Brain, but won't it go straight to my hips?!"

how to enable automatic sharing of folders added/created in an already shared folder hiearchy?
by PGNet Dev 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

I'm running dovecot --version 2.3.11.3 (502c39af9) folder sharing is enabled & working. as long as I manually enable enable sharing for each folder/subfolder. e.g., if I enable sharing for each of: sharedtopfolder subfolder1 subfolder2 then all's good -- shared-to users can access according to set permissions. BUT, if I drag any folder under that shared-hierarchy e.g., sharedtopfolder subfolder1 subfolder2 + subfolder3 + subfolder4 the just-added subfolder3 subfolder4 are NOT shared. They CAN be -- manually. And, as soon as they are, they're, again, usable by target users. I'd like to have any/all newly-created, or dragged-in, folders under the already-shared "sharedtopfolder" to be **automatically** enabled for sharing. how is that explicitly setup? is it 'just' Dovecot config? &/or does it require some Sieve?

Sieve matching the raw body
by ＠lbutlr 30 Oct '20

30 Oct '20

I have tried the following to match the string '</head>' in the body of an email: if body :raw :contains "</head>" { if body :content "text/html" :contains "</head>" { if body :contains "</head>" { All three result in matching value `' with key `</head>' => 0 finishing match with result: not matched RFC 5173 says: 5.1. Body Transform ":raw" The ":raw" transform matches against the entire undecoded body of a message as a single item. Which seems like exactly what I want. :content does not seem like what I want since it appears to only match the non HTML code content of the mime part. Eventually what I want to do is to alert some of the code in the HTML portion the email. Failing that, to remove the HTML mime part entirely, but that is less desirable. NB: I am not getting sieve.log errors the code seems to parse fine, it's just not matching how I expect. -- I'm the High King of Fillory. I took a blood test.

Hello. If running dovadm replicator status, i get something like the following. root@mail2:~# doveadm replicator status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 4 Waiting 'failed' requests 0 Total number of known users 1000 When would these full resyncs happen? Is it on a schedule? and if so where is said schedule configured? doveadm replicator dsync-status shows plenty of available sessions.

Hi! In order for replication to trigger, you need - load the replication plugin - use dovecot-lda / lmtp to deliver mail If you have done these both, please provide doveconf -n and output of mail_debug=yes logs.

Support of INDEXPVT in Dovecot 2.3 with replication

dovecot quota-warning detection mail
by 森川　孝司 29 Oct '20

29 Oct '20

Hi, all. we use quota-warning emails to notify you of quotas. In rare cases, the email address has changed to the logged-in user. (Because the address of %u is passed as the logged-in user.) So I couldn’t send the email with “Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table”. Why does my email address change to a logged-in user? %u of "quota_warning = storage = 95 %% quota-warning 95% u" The output is the logged-in user. By Morikawa

Directors and LMTP: mailAlternateAddress of same user
by Paterakis E. Ioannis 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Good evening everyone, I'd like to paste a problem i experience the last days with a mail cluster system based on three dovecot servers and two directors in front of them. The Directors are proxying the auth requests to the dovecot servers below (LDAP). The protocols i use are imap/managesieve/lmtp. The setup works as intented, exept one detail. There are a lot of users that happen to have mailAlternateAddress attriutes with different e-mail addresses. The problem is that when a mail arrives to the lmtp of the directors, and the recipient is one of the mailalternateAddresses the same user has, director/lmtp doesn't recognise the real user of that e-mail address, and routes the e-mail to a different dovecot server than the real user is logged in, resulting in a corrupted .index.cache file. I've searched around for a solution to this, and figured out that a special userdb {} section in the protocol lmtp {} section, with driver = ldap etc etc so that i 'd be able to "show" the correct user to the lmtp might work, but strangely that userdb {} setting looks like being ignored by lmtp. Has any of you guys have an idea how will i be able to solve that issue because i get thousands of corrupted .index.cache files every day.... Thank you very much in advance, Ioannis

Looking for a guide to collect all e-mail from the ISP mail server
by R. Diez 28 Oct '20

28 Oct '20

Hi all: I am evaluating mail server solutions for a small business. The trouble is, I am only a part-time admin and a newbie to mail servers. Most guides I have seen are rather unrealistic: they encourage you to expose your e-mail server to the Internet, and hope that you have the resources to keep it patched up. I would rather have an internal mail server that collects e-mails from a standard ISP mail server. It is like the old "POP3 Connector" that came with Microsoft Exchange. Sometimes, there is a mailbox per user on the ISP, and a corresponding one on the local server. Other times, there is a single "catch all" or "multidrop" mailbox on the ISP. Users can still access their internal mailboxes from outside through an OpenVPN connection. The goal is that only VPN, and perhaps SSH, are accessible from the outside. We do not need to arrange any special SMTP configuration with the ISP either. This kind of mail server setup is rather different to the standard configuration. You do not normally need you own antivirus and spam filter, and you do not need to configure SSL certificates, MX or SPF DNS records. Most ISP handle that correctly and economically. Internal e-mail does not leave your LAN, and your internal SMTP server is just a relay for the external ISP SMTP server. Furthermore, most guides do not explain how to setup an autoresponder ("I am on holiday until xxx") so that users can enable theirs with the mouse. Editing configuration files over SSH is not really an option for normal users. This detail is important because it could be the only thing I need above standard e-mail. Further groupware features can be seen as nice but ultimately unnecessary luxury, and a basic shared calendar can be accomplished with a separate server like https://radicale.org/ and a calendar client like one built into Thunderbird. Hopefully, that is all I would need for a small business. Can anyone point me to the kind of guide I need? Failing that, I would need information or examples about using fetchmail, getmail or similar software with Dovecot. Good or bad experiences from you guys would also help. Each of those tools has a detailed man page, but there are many options and ways with different advantages and disadvantages. I would need a simpler guide to get started. I am aware that there are pre-packaged mail server solutions that would perhaps bring an easy-to-use autoresponder, but I haven't seen one yet that where you could tick a box like "this server is only internal and collects mail from the ISP server" during installation. Nor have I seen instructions about reconfiguring the mail server for my ISP mail scenario. I am prepared to learn more and write my own Perl scripts and/or installation guide, but it would be stupid to waste time if something easy already exists. After all, the setup I am describing (external ISP mail server + internal mail server) is not so weird. Thanks in advance, rdiez

doveadm SSL problem with recent update
by Trever L. Adams 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

With a recent update, I started seeing this: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 14: ssl_cert: Can't open file /etc/letsencrypt/live/SERVER/fullchain.pem: Permission denied 1 4 * * * vmail /usr/bin/doveadm expunge -A mailbox MAILBOXINQUESTION savedbefore 1w is one of the crontab entries I am seeing this for. Is there an option to keep doveadm from trying to use the ssl cert from that configuration file? I do not want to have the vmail user having access to the pem cert. Thank you. Trever

Newbie question about replication
by Piotr Auksztulewicz 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Hi, I am a long-time dovecot user/admin for my family mail server, but I had ventured into configuring replication only recently and I am not sure about how it should work and what are the good practices. My intent for replication was to have another instance to switch to in a short time if something fails. I have daily backups, but it will take much more time to rebuild and restore than just to switch to a good instance while taking time to restore the bad one. The setup seems to work just fine from IMAP client point of view (minus sieve scripts - but I have worked it around as I am not yet ready to upgrade dovecot beyond what's in stable Debian at the moment). I have my clients configured to access instance A exclusively; instance B is just sitting around with no clients routinely connected. Also only instance A is receiving deliveries from both my primary and secondary MTAs. I have some doubt however if this is the right thing to do and if it is correct from the dovecot server point of view. I have observed my mail storage directories on both instances and have noticed that they diverge a little over time - the instance B not having all the updates. However the moment I connect another client to instance B and log in as a particular user, the state on instance B springs to the correct state and I see the same content on both clients, and the storage directories become identical as well. I am afraid that, if instance A fails, I would not have the current state on instance B. Is there anything I should have done differently? Here is dovecot -n output of instance A. Instance B config is symmetrical with imap1/2 hostnames switched. FYI: actual domain is substituted for privacy. mail.mydomain.net is an internal subdomain with private IP addresses. Instances of dovecot are containerized with access to internal virtual bridge on which MTAs and supporting processes are present as well. The access from outside is provided by port forwarding/NAT, only for imaps and pop3s ports. Other ports are only internally accessible for local clients (postfix, mutt, doveadm command line tool etc.) or debug purposes. # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () # OS: Linux 4.19.0-9-cloud-amd64 x86_64 # Hostname: imap1.mail.mydomain.net auth_failure_delay = 3 secs auth_verbose = yes auth_worker_max_count = 5 deliver_log_format = msgid=%m; from=%f: %$ disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it doveadm_port = 4551 first_valid_uid = 100 login_greeting = # <redacted> mail_attribute_dict = file:mail/dovecot-attributes mail_gid = 122 mail_home = /var/vmail/%u mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=.MailDir:UTF-8 mail_plugins = " notify replication" mail_privileged_group = vmail mail_uid = 113 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 index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext editheader vnd.dovecot.debug 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 = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext.local driver = sql } plugin { mail_replica = tcp:imap2.mail.mydomain.net sieve = ~/.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.debug +editheader sieve_user_log = ~/log/sieve.log } pop3_fast_size_lookups = yes pop3_lock_session = yes pop3_no_flag_updates = yes pop3_save_uidl = yes protocols = " imap lmtp sieve pop3" replication_max_conns = 5 service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { group = root mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { group = root mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service auth-worker { chroot = /etc/dovecot/db process_limit = 10 unix_listener auth-worker { mode = 0600 user = doveauth } user = doveauth } service auth { client_limit = 64 inet_listener sasl { address = imap1.mail.mydomain.net port = 9192 } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = doveauth } user = doveauth } service dict-async { protocol = none } service dict { protocol = none } service director { protocol = none } service doveadm { inet_listener doveadm { address = imap1.mail.mydomain.net port = 4551 } } service imap-hibernate { protocol = none } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = imap1.mail.mydomain.net port = 143 } process_limit = 30 service_count = 1 } service imap-urlauth-login { protocol = none } service imap-urlauth-worker { protocol = none } service imap-urlauth { protocol = none } service imap { chroot = /var/vmail client_limit = 15 process_limit = 30 service_count = 32 user = vmail } service indexer-worker { process_limit = 3 user = vmail } service indexer { chroot = $base_dir } service lmtp { client_limit = 1 extra_groups = group = vmail inet_listener lmtp { address = imap1.mail.mydomain.net port = 2306 } process_limit = 6 user = vmail } service log { user = $default_internal_user } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { address = imap1.mail.mydomain.net port = 4190 } process_limit = 3 service_count = 1 } service managesieve { chroot = /var/vmail process_limit = 3 service_count = 1 user = vmail } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } process_limit = 4 service_count = 1 } service pop3 { chroot = /var/vmail process_limit = 4 service_count = 1 user = vmail } service replicator { unix_listener replicator-doveadm { group = root mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service submission-login { protocol = none } service tcpwrap { protocol = none } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext.local driver = sql } valid_chroot_dirs = /var/vmail /etc/dovecot/db verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " notify replication sieve" } protocol imap { imap_metadata = yes } -- Piotr "Malgond" Auksztulewicz firstname(a)lastname.net

The new mail arrives on the master, and it is as though dovecot completely ignores it for the purposes of replication. However, I think I have solved the problem by enabling LMTP and forcing postfix to go through that rather than writing to the maildir directly. Perhaps LMTP is required for replication and I just didn't realize it. End result is (I think) it is working properly. J

imapc_port not working

27 Oct '20

Hi, Dovecot v2.3.7.2 on Ubuntu 18.04LTS I have configured for imap proxy to imap.gmail.com However whilst the imapc_host setting is working, imapc_port is not - it ignores the value I set and dovecot always tries to connect to gmail on port 143 (as per error log output). I have the imapc settings in the 10-mail.conf which gets loaded by dovecoat.conf Looks like a bug. Any assistance would appreciated. Regards,David.

forwarding email with sieve of spf domains
by Marc Roos 27 Oct '20

27 Oct '20

Say someone has setup spf for his domain and sends an email to a user that has in roundcube enabled the sieve forward. If the message is forwarded without altering the message headers, this could result in a message being blocked or not relayed, because sending hosts ip, is not in the spf of the from: domain. Possible solutions are: - add option if enabled, it replaces the From: with that of the email address of the sieve user. (Maybe move the original sender to the Reply-To header? Maybe exception for 'internal' forward?) - Upon processing the message, check the spf records, if they are enforced, do the above, otherwise do nothing. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5228#section-4.2

Dovecot replication not picking up new mail in maildir
by jayare~dcml＠videocoding.org 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

I've got a basic dovecot master-master replication setup between two servers (imap1 and imap2). Actions such as deleting messages or moving them between folders are replicated correctly and quickly. However, when new mail is delivered by postfix, replication does not occur until something else triggers it, such as one of the delete/move actions mentioned earlier. A search suggested this may be due to the notify plugin, but I don't see any issue with the settings.

> What you are looking for would be a very advanced setup > [...] I don't think so. But we'll see! I would be happy to take a pre-packaged mail server solution like iRedMail which includes RoundCube or whatever. I just need a "easy", practical guide to reconfigure it to 1) download e-mails from a multidrop, and 2) relay external e-mail to the ISP's SMTP server. Well, at least saying it like that does not sound hard. 8-) > More importantly, most ISPs are very limited in the way of support. > [...] While that assertion is generally true, most ISPs I have seen do get the basic e-mail service right. All have a kind of "catch all" e-mail address. Level of service is normally fine for a small business. If it is not, you can always change ISP. Hardware costs are not a problem. Most small companies I have seen have a file server sitting idle most of the time. Creating a VM with VirtualBox or KVM is relatively easy. Backing the mail server up is easy too: you just copy the VM as a big file. In a small business you may need a few Gigabytes per year if you want to keep all e-mails. I have even written a script that stops a KVM virtual machine every day at 4 am, backs the big file up to a NAS, and the restarts the VM. OK, I am not actually using it, and there is room for improvement, but the basic idea would work. If the server breaks, you have some downtime and you lose some data, but not too much. Most small businesses have more downtime and more data loss for other reasons. Retention is problematic anyway even if you use an external provider. With an external provider you also have to consider data protection issues. Small businesses are often exempt from difficult legal requirements (but I am not a lawyer either). > The server would still need to be accessible publicly for email to be routed to it. That's not the case. It hasn't been for an Exchange Server with "POP3 Connector" that I have seen.

dovecot.lda-dupes
by ＠lbutlr 24 Oct '20

24 Oct '20

What is the purpose and/or use of the dovecot.lda-dupes file that (sometimes) exists in the home folder for each user? I've seen some posts about issues with the file or losing track of the location, etc, but nothing on what the file actually does or how it could be useful. I assume it is just a dovecot file that helps not keep track of … I guess duplicate mails? It looks like it contains the message-ids and email destinations for certain, but not all, duplicate emails, but in a binary format. -- "The good news: Hadron Collider went live and did not destroy ALL reality.

So, this is what I did instead of default_sieve: sieve_before = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/bcc.sieve sieve_before2 = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/filespam.sieve # cat /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/bcc.sieve require ["variables", "copy"]; if address :matches ["To", "Cc"] ["*@*."] { redirect :copy "backup+295.${1}.${2}@. . ."; } # cat /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/filespam.sieve require ["fileinto", "imap4flags"]; if header :contains "X-spam-flag" "YES" { fileinto :flags "\Seen" "Junk"; } The bcc.sieve file is generated each day with a little script to put in the day of the year, so that for the backup user the folder structure for backups for my list mail is, for example: 295 kremels kreme <messages> otheruser kreme <messages> And tomorrow new folders for 296 will be created. So far, I think it's working. 🤞 -- C code. C code run. Run, code, run.

Error: Mailbox INBOX: Transaction commit failed: FTS transaction commit failed: transaction context
by Graham Leggett 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

Hi all, While trying to reindex a large mailbox to take advantage of Apache Tika, dovecot logs the following message: Error: Mailbox INBOX: Transaction commit failed: FTS transaction commit failed: transaction context The message is vague in that a transaction has failed, but nowhere does it say what the transaction boundaries are. Did the transaction affect the indexing of one message, or many messages? Did the indexing of the whole mailbox get aborted and rolled back, or just a single message? A wide question. How do I ensure that my shiny new dovecot index gets completely reindexed? How do I know if dovecot is indexing just the new messages, and ignoring the existing messages? Regards, Graham —

Understanding matches in sieve
by ＠lbutlr 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

RFC 5229 gives the following example: if address :matches ["To", "Cc"] ["coyote(a)**.com", "wile(a)**.com"] { # ${0} is the matching address # ${1} is always the empty string # ${2} is part of the domain name ("ACME.Example") fileinto "INBOX.business.${2}"; stop; And I do not understand why ${1} is always the empty string. In this example, ${1} is the part before the < so using ${2} makes sense. if header :matches "List-ID" "*<*@*" { fileinto "INBOX.lists.${2}"; stop; } I am laso not sure why the first example used **.com instead of *.com (or is that the reason $1 doesn't contain anything because it is the first * of **?). If so, my familiarity with the bash syntax for ** may have been my undoing. If I had # Given to kremels(a)kreme.com if address :matches ["To", "Cc"] ["*(a)*.*"] # ${1} would contain "kremels" # ${2} would contain "kreme" # ${3} would contain "com" Yes? -- "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

Restrictions on default.sieve
by ＠lbutlr 21 Oct '20

21 Oct '20

Are there actions that default.sieve cannot take? I tried adding redirect :copy "backup+foo(a)local.example.com" and… nothing. No errors I can find, but also no mail being redirected. I also tried # there must be 'from' in the received headers if header :contains "received" "from" { redirect :copy "backup+foo(a)local.example.com" } And if header :index 1 :contains "received" "from" { redirect :copy "backup+foo(a)local.example.com" } But still, no mail in .foo for the backup user (yes, dovecot is setup to autofile +address into mailboxes, and that works). -- You couldn't say, 'I had orders.'

A user's last access time
by Victor Sudakov 21 Oct '20

21 Oct '20

Dear Colleagues, Is there a file or directory within a user's Maildir, whose date of modification or access indicates the last time the user accessed his/her E-mail via IMAP or POP3? I'd like to figure out the time a user last logged in into his/her mail account, not the last time a mail was delivered to the INBOX. This information is probably available in the log, but a file which is touched each time a user accesses his/her mail, is more convenient. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/

How to move/reorganise existing e-mails to yearly subfolders
by R. Diez 21 Oct '20

21 Oct '20

Hi all: I am new to e-mail servers and I am evaluating Dovecot. Not really the best combination. 8-) I am trying to find a balance between legal data retention requirements and online mailbox size. I do not want huge online mailboxes, as doing offline, rotating data backups could then take forever (among other reasons). I would rather avoid online (cloud) backups (data protection etc.). If I set a mailbox size limit, users will have to delete old mails by themselves. Or I could somehow script the deletion of attachments from old e-mails, as attachments are usually the main cause of huge mailboxes. Incidentally, can anyone point me to an easy way to achieve this? Preferably over with IMAP, otherwise with Dovecot tools. With regards to legal data retention (which I am no expert about either), I thought I could use some Postfix BCC feature I heard about in order to copy all incoming and outgoing e-mails to a single "data retention" mailbox. Or maybe several of them. I could then archive e-mails from that mailbox on a yearly basis. I would like to automatically organise e-mails inside that mailbox into subfolders like this: 2019/alice 2019/bob 2020/alice 2020/bob That is: [year]/[username] With such a folder structure, it is easier to see what is going on. Is there a tool that can reorganise existing e-mails into such a folder structure? I found some tools on the Internet to backup and export mails from IMAP to IMAP or maildir destinations. But I could not find a tool that just reorganises (moves) e-mails in such a manner inside an existing mailbox, maybe with a user-defined pattern for the destination folders. I guess moving e-mails around on the same mailbox would be much faster than exporting and reimporting them in some clever way. I could always write a Perl script, but that takes time. Such a tool may already exist. Or perhaps somebody could mention a similar, good-written script I can use as a starting point. I am sure there are many small gotchas to avoid. At the moment, I am only confident with Perl and Java. Maybe JavaScript. It would be best to reorganise the e-mails over IMAP. This way, I am independent of the e-mail server. But a Dovecot-specific solution would also be helpful. I could use such a reorganisation tool not just for archiving or data retention purposes, but to reorganise other mailboxes too, like my personal mailbox. I would rather have a script. Clicking around in Thunderbird does not scale. I have seen that you can use a "sieve" in Dovecot to achieve this. But I guess that would only apply to new e-mails. And that would probably apply just to incoming mails, and not to outgoing ones. If I migrate from the existing e-mail servers, the e-mails will probably be mass-imported without going through any "sieve", right? Besides, I already have a few huge mailboxes with many years of e-mails, stored in a different e-mail server, and it would be nice to be able to reorganise them as they are. That way, I could archive the existing older e-mails before migrating to Dovecot, which would reduce the disk size and the export/import time for the migration. Many thanks in advance, rdiez

modify dovecot user/pass_queries to deliver to local aliases via dovecot submission, with postfixadmin/sqlite3 tables?
by PGNet Dev 21 Oct '20

21 Oct '20

I run dovecot + postfix with postfixadmin/sqlite3 I'm set up for all/only virtual users. All outbound mail submits via dovecot submission port. My current dovecot pass/user db queries are password_query = \ SELECT \ username as user, \ password, \ '/data/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir' as userdb_home, \ 5000 as userdb_uid, \ 5000 as userdb_gid \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' user_query = \ SELECT \ '/data/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir' as home, \ 5000 AS uid, \ 5000 AS gid, \ ('dirsize:storage=' || quota) AS quota \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' It works perfectly for real addresses. I've setup an alias address, e.g. REAL: realuser(a)example.com ALIAS: aliasuser(a)example.com INBOUND email to the ALIAS address -- from the 'net, delivered from postfix via LMTP to dovecot backend -- works fine. BUT any/all mail from local users TO the ALIAS addr fail at userDB lookup 2020-10-20 12:26:54 lmtp(aliasuser(a)example.com)<rI49JP45j19D8QAA+IOfAw>: Debug: auth-master: userdb lookup(aliasuser(a)example.com): auth USER input: 2020-10-20 12:26:54 lmtp(aliasuser(a)example.com)<rI49JP45j19D8QAA+IOfAw>: Debug: auth-master: userdb lookup(aliasuser(a)example.com): Userdb lookup failed What mods are required to the password_query &/or user_query in order to FIX the local->aliasuser mail lookup and delivery ... and ideally not break the rest of delivery?

So I changed the query from: (&(sAMAccountName=%n)(objectClass=user)(homeMDB=*)) to (&(sAMAccountName=%n)(objectClass=user)(homeMDB=*)(memberOf=CN=Funktion - E-Mail-Konto,OU=Funktionen,OU=People,DC=ad,DC=company,DC=org)) The baseDN is DC=ad,DC=company,DC=org With ldapsearch I can get all users and their attributes, but Dovecot fail with this error: Oct 20 15:57:10 mailgw02 dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(testuser,80.187.107.28,<eLf0mhqyLwlQu2sc>): ldap_search(base=dc=ad,dc=company,dc=org filter=(&(samAccountName=testuser)(objectClass=user)(homeMDB=*)(memberOf=CN=Funktion - E-Mail-Konto,OU=Funktionen,OU=People,DC=ad,DC=company,DC=org))) failed: Operations error I didn't found any explanation for this error... Can someone help me? The user used for the connection is the same in Dovecot and ldapsearch. Thanks a lot Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

Dovecot docker auto-responder - delegate to external SMTP
by Thomas Pronold 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

Hi all, I have dockerized my dovecot setup. Everything works fine besides auto-responder using sieve. Issue is that the my dovecot docker image does NOT come with a SMTP which could be used for outgoing mail. My SMTP setup (postfix) is in another image/container. I want to keep it that way, so that dovecot and postfix have separate images. So basically I have 2 containers running in the same internal network: a) dovecot IP 192.168.10.11 b) postfix IP 192.168.10.22 How do I have to configure dovecot so that it delegates all outgoing (autoresponder) mails to the SMTP on IP 192.168.10.22. The postfix image is configured in a way that certain IPs are allowed to send mails without authentication. So on postfix side I am set. Currently I did a quickfix: I added postfix to dovecot image and configured postfix to use the relayhost 192.168.10.22 for mailing. This works, still I would prefer having the dovecot image not containing an postfix SMTP. Thanks Tom

Unable to access mail via Outlook
by Odhiambo Washington 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

Hola, Dovecot- 2.3.11.3 with mdbox. I have a situation where I can access (view) the e-mails when I use a web-based IMAP client, but NOT M$ Outlook (configured for IMAP). Is there an easy way to solve this? When I send an e-mail to the mailbox address, I can see it on the webmail, but not on Outlook. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", grep ^[^#] :-)

Using NFS to extend local email storage
by Maciej Kokociński 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

We are running our IMAP mail server on a VPS in the cloud (dovecot+exim+horde webmail), and we are using our on-premises NAS for daily backups through custom rsync scripts (which work well with maildir). There is a lot of storage available on the NAS, while not so much on the VPS. Since, we often get downtime on-premises due to power outages we cannot move the mail server on-premises (though the outages do not interfere too much with the backups). Additional storage in the cloud is at a premium as we would like to avoid further increasing costs. Now, my idea is to set up an NFS volume on the NAS, and configure the cloud-based server as the client. I would like to store only the most recent emails on the main server, and keep the whole data set on the NAS. Naturally I have read the dovecot wiki concerning NFS, and I have browsed this mailing list's archive for answers, but I still have many concerns. Ideally, I would like to use as much storage as possible from the main server, so that only really old emails need to be fetched over the network if requested over IMAP. Also I would like the search function to work regardless whether the NAS is available or not. I wonder if anybody tried a similar configuration before. My concerns are: - should I use NFS volume directly and configure FS-Cache, or should I configure a cache volume separately using e.g. bcache or some other tool? - how to configure the cache to keep as many files and metadata locally? - is it possible to fine tune the cache so it always keeps all the newly created/modified files locally? - is it possible to tune the cache so it keeps at least n files for each user (each maildir)? - will it work fine if I put NFS traffic into an ssh tunnel for security? - will dovecot freeze/crash when the NFS volume disconnects or is temporarily unavailable, what will actually happen in such circumstances? - will the search function work when the NFS volume is unavailable? (I also plan to use solr in the future) - what happens when the main server crashes and then recovers from the NFS share? is the share guaranteed to be consistent? I hope that I have not asked too many questions for a single message... ;) I would really appreciate any help, because I am rather a newbie in dovecot administration, and it overwhelms me. Perhaps, what I am trying to achieve is not the way to go. I am open to suggestions. Best regards, Maciej

Problem reading SSL key
by Tech Support 17 Oct '20

17 Oct '20

All; I'm trying to setup dovecot to use SSL, but I'm getting an error message in the logs. I'm getting the error imap-login: Fatal: Couldn't parse private ssl_key. I'm using a commercial cert so I know that the .crt and .key files themselves are not the problem. I have them configured like so: ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/mail_acmewidgets_net.crt ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/mail_acmewidgets_net.key The crt is mode 444 and the key is mode 400. Since the log is not giving any other information, I don't know what the problem is. Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks; Frank

how to set smtp-client -> submission_relay_host for IPv4 only?

In dovecot conf, for submission relay, I've config'd submission_relay_host = lan.example.com submission_relay_port = 465 hostname -- not IP -- must be used, to inform relay for cert verification match. Here, host lan.example.com lan.example.com has address 10.0.1.47 lan.example.com has IPv6 address fd80:25:01::47 The receiving smtp relay listens only on IPv4 -- no IPv6 service, telnet 10.0.1.47 465 Trying 10.0.1.47...

Dovecot won't accept IMAP TLS 1 connections from older devices [SOLVED]
by Brian Martin 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

I've spent days scouring the Internet and trying various solutions on a problem with my Dovecot installation, so I thought I'd share what I learned in hopes of saving other people a lot of time. The dedicated Dovecot hands will know all of the following already. This is for those of us that have to cover a lot of bases. I upgraded my mail server from Ubuntu 18.04.1 to Ubuntu 20.04.1, and found that older Mac-books and iPads (and probably other devices) could no longer establish IMAP connections to Dovecot. Dovecot logged: SSL routines:tls_early_post_process_client_hello:unsupported protocol and TCP/IP traces showed that it dropped the connection after the client's initial HELLO. I tested what kinds of connections Dovecot would accept with (for example): openssl s_client -tls1_1 -connect localhost:993 # Test whether TLSv1.1 is accepted - received "unsupported protocol" message. Searching showed that Dovecot has a parameter "ssl_min_protocol", which is documented as defaulting to TLSv1. Nevertheless I explicitly set it to TLSv1 with no effect. This was a red herring. I spent a long time looking to see if Dovecot had a bug in handling this newish parameter, etc. Eventually I came across one posting regarding a web server, that told me the OpenSSL libraries that Dovecot and lots of other packages use has a single configuration file for the entire system. In Ubuntu 20.04 it defaults to requiring TLSv1.2 or above. Changing the configuration for OpenSSL affects everything on the system using the library. I changed the file, restarted Dovecot, and it immediately accepted TLSv1 connections. Obviously I'd prefer to maintain the improved security of TLSv1.2, but in my case it was better to continue providing mail service at a lower security level than to deny service to some users until they upgraded their personal devices. You'll need to make your on decision on that score. The file to change is (on Ubuntu, at least) /usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf. The change consists of adding a line of code in the initial section that invokes several new sections later: In the initial section I added: openssl_conf = default_conf Then at the bottom of the file I added: [default_conf] ssl_conf = ssl_sect [ssl_sect] system_default = system_default_sect [system_default_sect] MinProtocol = TLSv1 CipherString = DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1 There is an alternative approach that I have read of but not tested. Basically you can create a new file elsewhere with the customized content, and then set an environmental variable (OPENSSL_CONF) just before launching Dovecot that points to your new file. This way, only Dovecot is using downgraded security. Since my mail server is a dedicated system and I didn't want to muck with the Dovecot start-up environment, I didn't feel the need to go that route. So all my digging into why Dovecot wouldn't accept TLSv1 connections and how to change it were completely on the wrong path. It would be nice if Dovecot could log a message when its ssl_min_protocol is set lower than what OpenSSL will accept, but Dovecot may not be able to tell what OpenSSL is doing. In any case, those are the symptoms, the real problem, and how to fix it. Good luck, and thanks to Matt Caswell for posting the answer that I eventually found.

Auro expunge
by ＠lbutlr 15 Oct '20

15 Oct '20

When using autoexpunge = 14 days in, for example. The trash of junk folders, does that physically remove the messages from disk or simply mark them to be removed and some other action needs to be taken? I ask because my mail server crapped out today and I discovered a Junk folder with 490,000 messages in it, and the sa-spamd and mariadb processes died a horrible death. Haven't had time to track down what was going on, but there were definitely messages in that junk folder from 2019 (though, of course, they may have been added within the last 14 days, I can't verify that as my solution was to remove the folder and recreate a new empty maildir). -- I don't believe there's a power in the 'verse can stop Kaylee from bein' cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct-tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

How do I enable sieve trace debugging?
by Graham Leggett 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

Hi all, I want to enable trace debugging for sieve. Most specifically, I want to know what sieve scripts are running, and whether they’re doing anything. I cannot get anything other than dead silence from dovecot with respect to sieve. I have tried the same as asked in this question: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/550618/dovecot-sieve-trace-does-no… In my case, the config looks like this: ## TRACE DEBUGGING # Trace debugging provides detailed insight in the operations performed by # the Sieve script. These settings apply to both the LDA Sieve plugin and the # IMAPSIEVE plugin. # # WARNING: On a busy server, this functionality can quickly fill up the trace # directory with a lot of trace files. Enable this only temporarily and as # selective as possible. # The directory where trace files are written. Trace debugging is disabled if # this setting is not configured or if the directory does not exist. If the # path is relative or it starts with "~/" it is interpreted relative to the # current user's home directory. sieve_trace_dir = /tmp/sieve-trace # The verbosity level of the trace messages.

Changing IMAP separator - does it break things?
by Victor Sudakov 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

Dear Colleagues, I am using Dovecot 2.3.4.1 with maildirs. Just found out that MacOS Mail clients cannot work with nested folders, presumably because the MacOS Mail does not understand "." as the IMAP separator. Other clients (ThunderBird, Sylpheed, mutt) work fine. Do you think I can change the hierarchy separator in the "inbox" namespace without breaking other clients and the mail layout on disk, losing mail etc? I don't want to break mail for 50 people just to please one Mac Mail user. The users are advanced developers actively using mail sorting rules, nested folders etc. My `doveconf -n` is here: https://termbin.com/w1wd -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/

Hi, Not sure if this is it, but I used to have the same error when I started with dovecot. Aki's response was the following (and solved my problem). ------------- Hi! You can't set service imap { service_count = 256 } if you are using multiple system UIDs. See https://wiki.dovecot.org/Services#imap.2C_pop3.2C_submission.2C_managesieve *service_count* can be changed from 1 if only a single UID is used for mail users. This is improves performance, but it's less secure, because bugs in code may leak email data from another user's earlier connection.

It would be nice to know if there are any zstd or zlib compressed mails that have problems. We did a lot of stress testing with zstd and also with xz, but haven't been able to reproduce any problems. It's also strange that it says taht the error is "Broken pipe" - that doesn't indicate that the mail is corrupted but that there is something more strange going on. So perhaps you don't actually have any mails written as corrupted, but Dovecot is just somehow having trouble reading the mails. I managed to reproduce this. The files aren't corrupted, it's just that reading is failing. The attached patch should fix the xz code and should make your files readable again. Yes, it works ! I switched now to "zstd" compression and currently re-compressing all user imap folders (one by one) Actually, with further testing it looks like the mails were written truncated. My patch simply hides the truncation when reading the mail. But it's anyway best that can be done about them. zstd also has a bug in writing compressed output, but it should always crash instead of writing broken output. We'll try to get fixes to these merged to git soon. currently I am re-compressing the mailboxes and so far i can see only one (1) Error, after about 120GB of recomresses emails : Sep 10 11:32:24 lxc-imap dovecot: imap(ebay)<37070><1aDvPvKus+/AqKjk>: Panic: file ostream.c: line 287 (o_stream_sendv_int): assertion failed: (!stream->blocking) Sep 10 11:32:24 lxc-imap dovecot: imap(ebay)<37070><1aDvPvKus+/AqKjk>: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_append+0x41) [0x7f5b00de6da1] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_get+0x22) [0x7f5b00de6ec2] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xfe5eb) [0x7f5b00df05eb] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xfe687) [0x7f5b00df0687] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x598e1) [0x7f5b00d4b8e1] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x5e2c1) [0x7f5b00d502c1] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(o_stream_sendv+0x32) [0x7f5b00e14a92] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_stream_copy+0x5a) [0x7f5b00e1535a] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(o_stream_send_istream+0x50) [0x7f5b00e15060] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_storage_save_continue+0x2d) [0x7f5b00f9659d] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(dbox_save_continue+0x30) [0x7f5b00f3d3b0] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_save_continue+0x3e) [0x7f5b00f1a34e] -> dovecot/imap [ebay 192.168.168.228 APPEND](+0x13801) [0x55d6905bf801] -> dovecot/imap [ebay 192.168.168.228 APPEND](command_exec+0x6c) [0x55d6905ce3ec] -> dovecot/imap [ebay 192.168.168.228 APPEND](+0x12fdb) [0x55d6905befdb] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x6d) [0x7f5b00e06ced] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x145) [0x7f5b00e08305] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x54) [0x7f5b00e06d94] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x48) [0x7f5b00e06f08] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x17) [0x7f5b00d7f8d7] -> dovecot/imap [ebay 192.168.168.228 APPEND](main+0x459) [0x55d6905bec99] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf3) [0x7f5b00b0e0b3] -> dovecot/imap [ebay 192.168.168.228 APPEND](_start+0x2e) [0x55d6905bed2e] Sep 10 11:32:24 lxc-imap dovecot: imap-login: Panic: epoll_ctl(del, 21) failed: Bad file descriptor Sep 10 11:32:24 lxc-imap dovecot: imap(ebay)<37070><1aDvPvKus+/AqKjk>: Fatal: master: service(imap): child 37070 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled - https://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#coredumps) until now I only have one broken mailbox, I need to repair (I will try that later, just finish all the other users before): Sep 10 12:13:13 lxc-imap dovecot: imap(mtrenner)<41872><KVTf0PKu7+7AqKi0>: Error: lzma.read(/home/vmail/virtualmailboxes/mtrenner/storage/m.349): corrupted data at 3763912 Sep 10 12:13:13 lxc-imap dovecot: imap(mtrenner)<41872><KVTf0PKu7+7AqKi0>: Error: Mailbox Sent: UID=1480: read(zlib(/home/vmail/virtualmailboxes/mtrenner/storage/m.349)) failed: read(/home/vmail/virtualmailboxes/mtrenner/storage/m.349) failed: lzma.read(/home/vmail/virtualmailboxes/mtrenner/storage/m.349): corrupted data at 3763912 (FETCH BODY[]) > zstd also has a bug in writing compressed output, but it should always crash instead of writing broken output. > We'll try to get fixes to these merged to git soon. Uh-Oh, that would be good ... pls notify ! how such thing can slip through the tests ? I just can not remember, the last error with compression was like 10 years ago (dont know if it was me who reported that) However, thank You for Your fast response and taking care !!! Robert

Spam learning for rspamd
by Dan Egli 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

I'm quite new to Dovecot, so forgive me if this is a simple question. I've got rspamd running, and it's rewriting the subject of many messages as spam even when they are not. I've moved things out of the spam folder, which I was under the impression would teach rspamd since I've connected a sieve script that is supposed to call rspamd's learning tool, but nothing is happening. I'm really at a loss as to where to even begin searching for an answer, so any help is appreciated! -- Dan Egli On my Test server

Procmail with Dovecot
by Dan Egli 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

Hey folks, here's a question. I want to enable procmail for the users so that they can have their incoming messages sorted info various folders and such regardless of MUA access or web access. I know I can set procmail to deliver to a maildir, but wouldn't that screw up dovecot's indexes? If it would, what can I do to ensure that the indexes stay correct? Thanks! -- Dan Egli On my Test server

Move older messages to Old folder after a bunch of changes (sql + other stuff)
by Chris Bennett 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

I'm starting to get things better done now. Moved to all virtual users over IMAP. Using a SQL database for users/passwords. Setting up folders working properly with neomutt. Right now, that leaves me with just new mail in the INBOX, and other folders. I have a bunch of old mail in each users Maildirs in their real home folders. Right now, I'd like to move all the old mail into a folder (doesn't really matter what it's called). Right now is actually a perfect time to do this by good luck in timing. How should I go about creating a new folder for those messages and then adding the old mail from system user home Maildir folders to the virtual users folders I'm using? Thanks for any help, Chris Bennett

DKIM fail if WHM adds Message-ID, should be Message-Id
by Robert Martin 13 Oct '20

13 Oct '20

I created a client library to send emails for a webapp. After connecting to the SMTP server with credential setup in CPANEL, and then do NOT add Message-Id header, the DKIM signature 'h' record created by dovecot/WHM is wrong, and a Message-ID (with a capital D) header is added, invalidating the generated DKIM signature value. This causes outlook, yahoo, gmail and other email recipients to add 'dkim:fail' to the message, and thus relegate it to junk or spam. The work around is to add to the message a Message-Id with a little 'd' header. Then the SMTP server processes the email with the correct generated DKIM, correct DKIM 'h' record and does not add a Message-ID header. My SMTP hosting providers that run the WHM/dovecot/CPANEL software are refusing to raise this as a bug and have requested that I do it. Regards Robert

Preparing for replication: dsync-local(testaccount): Panic: file mbox-lock.c

where to specify dovecot v2.3.11.3 SSL configs for fts solr indexer/backend connection?

Providers running dovecot?
by Olivier Cailloux 11 Oct '20

11 Oct '20

Dear list, I am looking for providers of free e-mail addresses known to run Dovecot (or a variant thereof) for IMAP access. I need only a few MB storage space and no particular features beyond SMTP and IMAP. The reason I ask is that Dovecot is known to implement the IMAP spec quite respectfully, and I am writing a software which uses IMAP search (so I would suggest my users to register an e-mail to a provider implementing correctly the IMAP Search specifications, to reduce the probability of bugs). (More details here: https://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1821627.) Do you know of any such provider? -- Olivier
