Unexpected accounts showing up in replication status (doveadm replicator status '*')
by Daniel Schütze 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

I have a replication set up with two dovecot 2.3.4 servers. Messages appear to be replicating fine between them, however there is an oddity when I run doveadm replicator status '*' and I'm worried work is being carried out needlessly. Both machines have identical configs and have a mysql backend for username/passwords. Both machines point to the same mysql server and same tables. When I run doveadm user '*' On either machine I am presented with the same correct list of users. The users are presented in the form: username and not username@domain. When I run doveadm replicator status '*' On either machine I receive a list of usernames which includes not only username but also username@domain. Both of these "accounts" have fast sync, full sync and success sync entries and these are not the same times between username and username@domain (hence I'm worried unnecessary work is being carried out). My ee dovecot-sql.conf.ext Has these entires re usernames user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE username = '%n' password_query = SELECT username AS user, domain, password, home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid, gid AS userdb_gid FROM users WHERE username = '%u' [Having copied these in I do see the different usage of %u and %n] iterate_query = SELECT username AS user,domain FROM users The users table is as follows +--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | username | varchar(128) | NO | | NULL | | | domain | varchar(128) | NO | | NULL | | | password | varchar(64) | NO | | NULL | | | home | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | | | uid | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | gid | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | active | char(1) | NO | | Y | | | mail_replica | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL | | +--------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ I assume that the duplication of username with and without domains isn't as intended, any suggestions where I am going wrong? I did previously have the servers running with the iterate query commented out and when that was the case doveadm user '*' returned the correct number of accounts but in the format username@domain and the replicator status again 'double listed' accounts as described above.

doveadm proxy list repeats header line
by Michael Goth 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

Hi all, just a minor thing: Why does `doveadm proxy list` repeat the header line after each entry? Too me, that just makes the output harder to read. So instead of this: root@mail1 ~ # doveadm proxy list username proto src ip dest ip port info(a)domain1.de imap 80.152.196.98 222.133.127.53 993 username service src-ip dest-ip dest-port info(a)domain1.de imap 80.152.196.98 222.133.127.53 993 username service src-ip dest-ip dest-port info(a)domain1.de imap 80.152.196.98 222.133.127.53 993 username service src-ip dest-ip dest-port tj(a)domain1.de imap 83.149.131.71 222.133.127.53 993 username service src-ip dest-ip dest-port tj(a)domain1.de imap 83.149.131.71 222.133.127.53 993 I'd prefer this: root@mail1 ~ # doveadm proxy list username proto src ip dest ip port info(a)domain1.de imap 80.152.196.98 222.133.127.53 993 info(a)domain1.de imap 80.152.196.98 222.133.127.53 993 info(a)domain1.de imap 80.152.196.98 222.133.127.53 993 tj(a)domain1.de imap 83.149.131.71 222.133.127.53 993 tj(a)domain1.de imap 83.149.131.71 222.133.127.53 993 The repeated header lines also happen with other formatters.

Request: Pigeonhole - strip CWFS from message-id logs
by Lee Maguire 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

Normally for a log line containing the contents of a Message-Id, it is logged like the following Nov 29 11:41:27 xxx dovecot[211]: lmtp(lee)<30167><XXXXX>: sieve: msgid=<xxxx(a)example.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'Notifications' However, if there is CFWS other than a space, it changes the format of the log line (potentially making the logs harder to process - eg via “logcheck" rules) Nov 29 11:50:09 xxx dovecot[401]: lmtp(lee)<55724><XXXXX>: sieve: msgid=? <xxxx(a)example.com>: stored mail into mailbox ‘Notifications' A message-id line broken up is valid per RFC 5322 and header whitespace shouldn’t be significant for logging purposes https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.6.4 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.2.2

Feature request: client bind address for replication
by John Fawcett 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

Hi would it be possible to consider a new parameter for replication: doveadm_local_ip which allows the source ip address to be set when connection to a remote dovecot for replication? It could be useful when the network interface has multiple ips and a specific one is used for mail services. See attached proposal. I tested against 2.2.36 only. It applies correctly against 2.3.4 with a warning,. John

It will slow down the logins a bit though. service auth-worker { executable = /usr/bin/valgrind -q --vgdb=no /usr/lib/dovecot/auth -w } At least one good thing about this crash is that it seems to happen only at deinit, so it's not impacting users.

Sieve: reject certain mime-types and notify recipient
by Ralf Becker 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

I have to reject office files for a certain domain plus notifying the original recipient about the rejection too. require ["fileinto","reject","body","enotify","variables"]; if allof (address :contains ["To","TO","Cc","CC"] "@example.org", body :content "application/msword" :contains "") { set "to" "${1}"; # :matches is used to get the value of the Subject header if header :matches "Subject" "*" { set "subject" "${1}"; } # :matches is used to get the value of the From header if header :matches "From" "*" { set "from" "${1}"; } notify :message "Rejected Office Datei ${from}: ${subject}" "${to}"; reject text: Aus Sicherheitsgründen nehmen wir keine Office Dateien mehr an. Bitte senden Sie uns ein PDF. . ; } A manual sievec call gives not error and if I remove everything but the reject line it works.

Localhost imap server fails after upgrade from 2.2.33.2-1 to 1:2.3.2.1
by cpblpublic+dovecot＠gmail.com 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

I use a localhost dovecot imap server in order to access maildir folders from Alpine (see 2009 instructions for my set up here https://cpbl.wordpress.com/2009/11/07/alpine-offlineimap-and-gmail-under-ub… ) My configuration has worked nicely since 2009, but failed after a recent upgrade of dovecot (during basic upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.10). The version of Alpine did not change. Uninstalling dovecot-core and dovecot-imapd, and reinstalling the older versions, fully fixes the problem. I would like to know how to get my configuration working with the new version of dovecot. Here's what the problem looks like: I have a file auto-dovecot.conf with only the following two lines. verbose_proctitle = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/meuser/imap/gmailStanford:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=/home/meuser/imap/gmailStanford/INBOX Other /etc/ files are unchanged from installation defaults. Alpine calls imapd when it starts, with the following command: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -c /home/meuser/dotfiles/auto-dovecot.conf When I run that command, I get: imap(meuser,)Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SNIPPET=FUZZY LITERAL+ NOTIFY] Logged in as meuser so I am guessing that the first line is the issue, since when the older version I get instead: * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE] Logged in as meuser Can anyone help me? I cannot find documentation for using a localhost server for Alpine, except my own from 2009. Many thanks! Chris

Issue with LMTP proxying and port number
by Steven Craig 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

Hello there, Everything was working fine on Dovecot 2.2.10 (on CentOS 7), but after updating to version 2.2.36, our director servers are not able to proxy LMTP. We are sending mail from exim to the local Dovecot LMTP socket, which then used to send it to our internal mail servers on port 24. Besides the update, nothing has changed in the config files. The configuration has been working great for months … Then we had a great idea of doing holiday maintenance. (Currently, we are working around this issue by having exim send mail to the IP and port, instead of the socket.) Doing a tcpdump capture shows no TCP traffic either. The logs seem to say that it is trying to go to port 0, so my guess is that it’s not getting the port directive from either static or sql — since the docs state that if these settings aren't specified, it will always use the same connection type for the proxy that it received the connection on. Any thoughts? I can share config if necessary.

Authentication/Penalty disabled (socket mode=0) introduces constant 5 sec delays (2.27 on debian 9)

Hi, I hit a bizare problem with dovecot 2.2.7 on debian 9 with LMTP enabled and auth/penalty disabled as documented here : https://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Penalty Use case : I run a swaks command to send an email to an exim4 that tries to make a callout to dovecot-lmtp.

Dovecot 2.3 no longer accepts ssl_key_password
by Chris Kiakas 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

Hit a little problem when I upgraded a system from FreeBSD 10.3 to 11.2. I did not receive any errors in the upgrade. The system is running 4 jails and everything seems to work except in Dovecot dovecot-2.3.4_5 where when using the exact same configuration which worked in 10.3 with the same password protected certificate key. (doveconf -n -P shows the correct password.) ssl_ca = </usr/local/etc/site.keys/name_com.ca-bundle ssl_cert = </usr/local/etc/site.keys/name_com.crt ssl_dh = </usr/local/etc/dovecot/dh.pem ssl_key = </usr/local/etc/site.keys/name.com.key ssl_key_password = keypassword The password works with openssl. Changing the password on the key has no effect. Removing the password on the cert with openssl and running dovecot with the new key works. I installed on another system and I am experiencing the same results. The issue persists whether I install dovecot from ports or pkg. I can't see where the problem is. It seems that Dovecot is unable to read the key when password protected even though it has the correct password. Has anyone experienced this? Chris

I looked a this a bit and since it is basically only a matter of replacing the hash algorithm, I created a quick implementation (after some refactoring): https://github.com/stephanbosch/dovecot-core/commits/auth-scram-sha-256 However, since there is no client that actually supports this, I cannot test this myself. I've briefly tested that the old SHA-1 still works (using mpop) and that the server properly announces the new mechanism when enabled, but that is it. It is based on the master branch. Configuration is identical to SCRAM-SHA-1, apart from the mechanism (and password scheme) name of course. Don't expect this to be released or even merged to the master branch any time soon: this is likely currently very low on our priority list. But, at least you can run your own server with SCRAM-SHA-256 support (and so can client developers). Maybe if this gets endorsed and supported by clients and gets some testing in the field, we can speed it along a bit, but that is not something I can promise. So, I hatched a chick for you. I hope you can make it lay a few eggs in the future... Regards, Stephan.

IMAP preauth and stats-writer
by Mark Hills 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

I use IMAP preauth; I connect with Alpine over SSH which is very useful. The last few upgrades this has become more difficult to to. Last time (moving 2.2 -> 2.3, I think) I had to put in a workaround: stats_writer_socket_path = It prevented /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap attempting to connect to a central stats service. As of an upgrade today (2.3.2.1_1 -> 2.3.4_3 on FreeBSD) it looks like that 'fix' stopped working, and I get: imap(mark,)Error: net_connect_unix() failed: Permission denied It goes to stderr, which breaks Alpine. "()" is actually the filename. It seems that the empty string is no longer an indication to disable it. Here it is with the default configuration: imap(mark,)Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied I do also have a dovecot running as a system daemon, and, interestingly, disable this and it's 'fixed'; no attempt to connect. However, disabling the service is not an option (needed for smartphone) The best I've come up with so far is when using preauth to hack it to send stderr to /dev/null. And yes, probably Alpine is at fault for interpreting stderr content (separate issue) * Is there a way to cleanly disable reporting to the stats service? Previously, running as preauth was all very clean. * Just wanted to highlight that IMAP preauth is really useful. Even though it might not be mainstream, it seems healthy to be able to easily install dovecot as an unprivilidged user in a "unixy" way. I'm on FreeBSD 11.2, with dovecot from ports. dovecot.conf below. -- Mark # # Dovecot configuration # mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir postmaster_address = postmaster namespace { inbox = yes } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/lets.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/local.key ssl_dh = </etc/ssl/dh.pem # # No writing of statistics to a priviledged service; # this is troublesome for a user to run the IMAP client # #stats_writer_socket_path = # # Authentication: only allow passwords sent over TLS, and # check against the system password database # passdb { driver = pam } userdb { driver = passwd } # # Disable all except standard IMAP with TLS logins # service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 0 } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 0 } } # # An authentication service to allow Exim to use the # same credentials as Dovecot # service auth { unix_listener auth-client { mode = 0600 user = mailnull } } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 40 } # END

BUG 'doveadm mailbox' list does not honour symlinks to (mbox) mailboxes
by Marc Roos 20 Jan '19

20 Jan '19

doveadm mailbox list does not honour symlinks to at least the mbox mailboxes I relocated temporarily. You would expect it to behave similar to the server and use the symlinks. dovecot-2.2.36-3.el7.x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)

I managed to test it successfully using MailKit: https://github.com/jstedfast/MailKit I used the IMAP demo in samples/ImapClientDemo. I limited the available mechanisms presented by the server to SCRAM-SHA-256 exclusively, so the demo needs no modification. So, from our end it seems to work fine. Regards, Stephan.

Reloading dovecot after certificate renewal?

Is it enough to issue a `service restart dovecot` when a certificate renews or do I need to service stop/start? -- "A thousand years ago we thought the world was a bowl.

Sorry I mistakenly overlooked at the ip:s. But anyway that is multiple connections and seems that PAM has some concurrency limit and refuses the third connection Thunderbird opens. so you probably have pam_limits with maxlogins=2 enabled.

Need help deduplicating messages fetched with getmail into dovecot mailbox
by Gabriel Kaufmann 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

Hello everyone, I'm using getmail to fetch some external mails from POP3 into a dovecot mailbox (providing IMAP). Getmail seems to have some serious problems keeping track of mails already fetched. I have every Mail exactly twice in my Mailbox delivered by Dovecot. Of course they are not in the original external POP3 Inbox. I hope I'm in right place here. I think the problem is not dovecot related, but getmail. As there is a huge number of user complains about getmail (and obviously no alternative?!) I hope to find some help here for a workaround. I noticed getmail can be configured for some kind of filtering to sort out Mails for local delivery to dovecot. http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/configuration.html#filter-examples Does anyone know how to query the message-id (given by mail-headers) with doveadm? My first test was this: > doveadm fetch -u my-mailbox(a)domain.net "mailbox date.sent" message-id > "<369408722.286104911.1547114312259.Foo.root(a)someone.org>" But then I noticed this is only ment to be used with dovecot internal GUID - I think... Is it possible to query for the mail message-id also? Is it posible to reconfigure indexing to include this propery from the original message-file? I made a small perl-script to extract it using Perl-Lib Email::Simple. > To: my-mailbox(a)domain.net > *Message-ID: <369408722.286104911.1547114312259.Foo.root(a)someone.org>* > Subject: Some test I also already tried the doveadm deduplicate, but this also doesn't work as it is also basing on the internal GUID of dovecot and every duplicate-message seems to have a new, unique GUID. > doveadm deduplicate -u gabriel.kaufmann(a)gmx.net mailbox-guid May be anyone know a better solution. -- Best regards Gabriel Kaufmann

Accidentally deleted .imap folder, how can I reindex?
by Les 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

Hello, I have several users with Maildir format. After upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3, some directories could not be opened from thunderbird. The server log shows all kinds of errors including these: Corrupted record in index cache file /home/user01/Maildir/.Elk&APw-ld&APY-tt/dovecot.index.cache: UID 2802: Broken physical size in mailbox Cached message size larger than expected (18 > 17, box=Sent, UID=2802) While trying to fix the problem, I have accidentally deleted some of the index/cache directories. In particular, Maildir/.Sent/.imap and Maildir/.Sent/cur/.imap folders were deleted, but all of the mail message files are there. When I try to open the "Sent" folder from thunderbird, it does not show all of the messages. It only shows messages until 2019.01.12. If I send out an email from thunderbird, then a new message is copied into the Maildir/.Sent/ folder, but it is not visible from thunderbird. I have already tried to unsubscribe + subscribe to the Sent folder, but it did not work - it re-downloads all messages until 2019.01.12, but not after that. Can I somehow regenerate the index files, force dovecot to recreated .imap foder, and force thunderbird to re-download and show all of the files somehow? Thank you, Laszlo

If you want, I can help you in setting up the required configuration scripts and such to make it possible to compile it as plugin. Then anyone can download it and install it for their dovecot, even if dovecot itself has been installed from packages, and also makes it possible for package maintainers to consider including it in distributions.

What does the mdbox_rotate_size influence?
by Marc Roos 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

I wondered why mdbox_rotate_size is 2MB by default. I thought if I increased it to 16MB, maybe there would be less disk io, but I dont see any difference. Furthermore I read in some thread that increasing it from 2MB, could give problems when deleting messages, can someone explain this? Does anyone have this on a cephfs mount, does it make sense to set this to 4MB?

mdbox import error from read-only filesystem
by hby 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Dovecot version: 2.2.34 doveadm import tries to call open() on the source indexes/logs of mdbox data, but even if it should work as it is just a read-related call, it fails on read-only filesystems. The main use case for read-only filesystem is restoring from backup: the massive deduplicated backup data is exposed using FUSE. For deduplication to work efficiently, we have to backup the whole mail storage and thus the only way to handle the restore to mount the whole data. I would like to ask for some proper solution for this problem. Suggestions: first, the doveadm import should never modify the indexes, and second: the open() calls should respect the read-only filesystem and should fall back to "r" flag when using open. The problem goes further when using SIS (which goes beyond multiple terrabytes). The only workaround currently is to export the whole mdbox data to a writeable storage, and parametrize the import command to use that and the mounted SIS data separately for import...which is just problematic, ugly and error prune. Thank you for the continous work on dovecot, I hope you get this feedback in a good way.

managesieve configuration
by Dominik Menke 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Hello list, I'm trying to get pidgeonhole/managesieve running, and I'm stuck connecting clients to the server (Dovecot 2.2.33.2-1ubuntu4.1 on an Ubnutu 18.04 machine). So far, my config looks like this: protocols = imap lmtp sieve disable_plaintext_auth = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login scram-sha-1 service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 ssl = yes } service_count = 1 } service managesieve { process_limit = 256 } protocol sieve { managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 } (please let me know if you need more details). When I connect via openssl s_client -connect $myserver:4190 I get the following prompt (after the usual certificate prompt): "IMPLEMENTATION" "Dovecot (Ubuntu) Pigeonhole" "SIEVE" "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 vacation-seconds imapsieve vnd.dovecot.imapsieve" "NOTIFY" "mailto" "SASL" "PLAIN LOGIN SCRAM-SHA-1" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "Dovecot (Ubuntu) ready." and I can login successfully: AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" "base64(0x00 $user 0x00 $password)" OK "Logged In." Note how this is different from the troubleshooting guide [1], which suggests gnutls-bin and waiting for the STARTTLS capability before hitting Ctrl-D. This is what I get with gnutls-bin: $ gnutls-cli --starttls --insecure -p 4190 $myserver Processed 0 CA certificate(s). Resolving '$myserver:4190'... Connecting to '$myserverip:4190'... - Simple Client Mode: _ where "_" denotes the waiting prompt. When I hit Ctrl-D here, I get an output similar that of s_client. Now, my problem are the clients: neither Thunderbird's sieve extenstion [2], nor the Ruby ManageSieve class [3], nor Roundcube's managesieve plugin [4] (via Net_Sieve module [5]) are able to communicate with my server. They all wait for a "STARTTLS" line, before they attempt to perform a TLS handshake. This leads me to my question: How do I force Dovecot to print at least a STARTTLS line after a client connects to port 4190?

Indexing paralelism
by Joan Moreau 14 Jan '19

14 Jan '19

Hi Observing the processes of FTS, I observe the following: 1 - For one user, indexer-wroker does not start several threads for each request. On teh contrary, it waits for the first request to finish before starting the second. How to make sure all requests (or a limited number of it, for instance linked to the CPU number on the machine) are started asap ? 2 - If a IMAP query is received, the dovecot checks the last UID from FTS and launch a request of indexing to finish the index *before* running the search query . THis creates timeouts (and can take a while if many request are pending - see point 1) How to prevent that (i.e. the serach request is launched (read only) no matter what ? THe completeion of missing UIDs is launched in a separate thread ? Thank you

Issue with LMTP proxying and port number
by Laz C. Peterson 13 Jan '19

13 Jan '19

Hello there, Everything was working fine on Dovecot 2.2.10 (on CentOS 7), but after updating to version 2.2.36, our director servers are not able to proxy LMTP. We are sending mail from exim to the local Dovecot LMTP socket, which then used to send it to our internal mail servers on port 24. Besides the update, nothing has changed in the config files. The configuration has been working great for months … Then we had a great idea of doing holiday maintenance. (Currently, we are working around this issue by having exim send mail to the IP and port, instead of the socket.) Doing a tcpdump capture shows no TCP traffic either. The logs seem to say that it is trying to go to port 0, so my guess is that it’s not getting the port directive from either static or sql — since the docs state that if these settings aren't specified, it will always use the same connection type for the proxy that it received the connection on. Any thoughts? I can share config if necessary. ~ Laz Peterson Paravis, LLC

Dovecot Submission Proxy Auth
by Paul Hecker 12 Jan '19

12 Jan '19

Hi, Dovecot 2.3.1 (8e2f634). Could not get Dovecot to forward the (plain) authentication to the SMTP server using submission. Reason why I need it is sender spoofing (do not want my employees to send messages in behalf of me). In exim I can disable sender spoofing with the authenticated user. When sending through dovecot, exim either does not accept the email (need auth) or relay every sender address (because relaying from localhost). Am I missing a setting or do I need any additional field in the (MySQL) user_query/password_query to forward the password? You can find my config here: https://gist.github.com/lluuaapp/7daddf761131da47237b0f45e6bab5a8 Thanks, Paul

(https://github.com/Mailu/Mailu) - I've first seen this issues on my production server, which stores mail on GlusterFS - I've been able to reproduce running the Docker container on a Virtual machine, using local storage. - There is another Mailu user reporting the same problem on a different VM provider / disk infrastructure: https://github.com/Mailu/Mailu/issues/751 - Libc: musl-1.1.19-r10 Output of dovecot -n: # dovecot -n # 2.3.2.1 (0719df592): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.2 (7704de5e) # OS: Linux 4.16.3-301.fc28.x86_64 x86_64 ext4 # Hostname: 98a2726271d3 auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 8 first_valid_uid = 8 hostname = mail.usrpro.io log_path = /dev/stderr mail_access_groups = mail mail_gid = mail mail_home = /mail/%u mail_location = maildir:/mail/%u mail_plugins = " fts fts_lucene quota quota_clone zlib" mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = mail mail_vsize_bg_after_count = 100 maildir_stat_dirs = yes 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 spamtest spamtestplus editheader imapsieve vnd.dovecot.imapsieve namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/auth.conf driver = dict } plugin { fts = lucene fts_autoindex = yes fts_autoindex_exclude = \Junk fts_lucene = whitespace_chars=@. imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/conf/report-spam.sieve imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/conf/report-ham.sieve imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * quota = count:User quota quota_clone_dict = proxy:/tmp/podop.socket:quota quota_vsizes = yes sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = dict:proxy:/tmp/podop.socket:sieve sieve_execute_bin_dir = /conf/bin sieve_extensions = +spamtest +spamtestplus +editheader sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.execute sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms sieve_spamtest_max_value = 15 sieve_spamtest_status_header = X-Spam-Level sieve_spamtest_status_type = strlen sieve_vacation_dont_check_recipient = yes sieve_vacation_send_from_recipient = yes } postmaster_address = admin(a)usrpro.io protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth-worker { unix_listener auth-worker { group = mail mode = 0660 user = dovecot } user = mail } service auth { user = dovecot } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 2525 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } submission_host = 192.168.203.6 userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/auth.conf driver = dict } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " fts fts_lucene quota quota_clone zlib imap_quota imap_sieve" } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " fts fts_lucene quota quota_clone zlib sieve" recipient_delimiter = + } And the actual error log: imap_1 | Dec 19 16:31:08 indexer-worker(admin(a)usrpro.io)<490><m+t5VmJ93K7AqMsG:grc9HUxyGlzqAQAANEhNiw>: Fatal: master: service(indexer-worker): child 490 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) imap_1 | Dec 19 16:31:09 indexer-worker(admin(a)usrpro.io)<493><m+t5VmJ93K7AqMsG:HRLEK0xyGlztAQAANEhNiw>: Error: lucene index /mail/admin(a)usrpro.io/lucene-indexes: IndexWriter() failed (#1): Lock obtain timed out imap_1 | Dec 19 16:31:09 indexer-worker(admin(a)usrpro.io)<493><m+t5VmJ93K7AqMsG:HRLEK0xyGlztAQAANEhNiw>: Error: Mailbox INBOX: Mail search failed: Internal error occurred.

I don't know where that header file is. Tried running "find" on the filesystem and a google search. But nothing specific showed up. I am starting to feel this bug is more musl related than Dovecot. Since this has bitten our project more in the past, I'm considering to move the project to Debian based images. But I want to be 100% sure this is not a dovecot bug. Note, earlier I created an image with Alpine:edge with musl 1.1.20-r2 and Dovecot 2.3.3. Running that image I saw the same error symptoms (Was just a hopeful trail and error). I did not do any debugging on that one. Thanks in advance! Tim

BUG: cannot move messages to root mailfolder in namespace "There can be only one namespace with inbox=yes"
by Marc Roos 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

I can only move messages to a root namespace folder when specifying inbox=yes. That is strange because it is not even the inbox. I don't even get why it is not by default possible, maybe bug there? You have made the mistake of overloading the use of a parameter inbox=yes (or not creating a parameter to tell folder can be used to move messages to), there is indeed only one folder that gets incoming messages delivered to, and that is the inbox=yes. You should have created a 2nd parameter specifying if a folder should be allowed to store mail. (I have been running this dovecot server for 20 years or so, and I am really surprised about still running into issues on such basic things as trying to put folders onto different storage. Not to mention the lack of help you can get here. Is there some roadmap, features implementation overview available? Can you make public issues on github?)

Permission error on stats writer

I’m running Dovecot 2.3.4 on FreeBSD 11.2 with qmail. In my mail log, I see messages like this on every delivery Jan 8 10:30:02 v1 qmail: 1546961402.314222 delivery 533: success: lda(matt,)Error:_net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer)_failed:_Permission_denied/did_0+0+1/ Searching for this error, I found a message on a support forum for a different server that suggested adding this to dovecot.conf: service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { user = vmail group = vmail mode = 0660 } unix_listener stats-writer { user = vmail group = vmail mode = 0660 } } The person reporting the error said that this corrected it. But since I’m running qmail, I have no vmail user/group. I’m guessing that I need to replace user/group with the values that some mail delivery process is running with. I’ve tried a couple of things with no success.

Apple mail fails with Submission
by Ruud Voorjans 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

Dear all, I'm running dovecot # 2.3.2.1 - Pigeonhole version 0.5.2 () - OS: Linux 4.18.0-12-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 18.10 with Submission. It works great except with apple mail (Iphone). I get an error with the MTA (postfix): ""postfix/submission/smtpd[32552]: warning: non-SMTP command from mail.example.org[xx.xx.xx.xx]: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit"" with other mail-client(s) (Outlook (Desktop and Iphone app)) i have no problem and it proxy-sends the e-mail beautiful out to the recipient. I think it is some kind of bug or maybe it just isn't supported (yet), cause as you said it is still "pretty basic". Best Regards

Dovecot no logs by sieve user script
by Christian Wolf 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

Dear mailinglist, I have the problem that I had to migrate a setup and since then my user's sieve script does no longer log anything. I have sieve_user_log unset and sieve points to a folder (ready for ManageSievev service). In the old config I had sieve point to the symlink and sieve_dir point to the folder of all scripts. As sieve_dir is deprecated I use the sieve directive only (see below). According to my understanding of https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/ Configuration this should result in user logging in ~/.dovecot.sieve.log. This file is never generated by dovecot and if I create it manually, it is not filled. Can you tell me, what I am missing here in order to get the per-user logs running? Thank you very much Christian # dovecot --version # dovecot -n # 2.2.27 (c0f36b0): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) # OS: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 x86_64 Debian 9.6 auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Mailbox 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 namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = create special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } plugin { sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve } postmaster_address = postmaster@wolf- stuttgart.net protocols = " imap sieve sieve" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/ private/auth { mode = 0666 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/imap/fullchain.pem ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " sieve" }

special_use folders still created
by Marc Roos 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

dovecot-2.2.36-3.el7.x86_64 The below configuration seems to work for Thunderbird and emclient, when moving a message to Junk. Emclient uses "Junk E-mail" and Thunderbird uses "Junk". On the server is only the file .Junk created as expected. When I move a message to Archive in Thunderbird. On the server the files .Archives and .Archives.2018 are created (Thunderbird creates a subfolder in Archives) How is this possible? On the server there is already an .Archive folder so it should create .Archive.2018 not? imap_capability = +SPECIAL-USE # drafts folders merging mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts auto = create } # archive folders merging mailbox Archive { special_use = \Archive auto = create } mailbox Archives { special_use = \Archive auto = no } # spam folders merging mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk auto = create } mailbox Spam { special_use = \Junk auto = no } mailbox "Junk E-mail" { special_use = \Junk auto = no }

reprocessing mail
by Marc Lucke 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

Hey guys, I had some corruptions whereby dovecot would bomb out on mail files in my maildir. I found that if piped the files to dovecot-lda the all email was clean &lost. I even retrieved email I thought might have been lost for good. I have some better ideas now, but I still processed a few thousand emails like that now & would like to do something like this: * stop dovecot * iterate over each file ** get date ** touch date (linux - to set the date/time) ** rename the file with the correct epoch ** update dovecot-uidlist with correct epoch * start dovecot Will that work? Or is there something I've missed or should do? - Marc

Sieve "OOO" configuration
by Jerry 05 Jan '19

I am able to get sieve issuing an "out of office"message correctly. However, I want to configure it to send an "OOO" message only during certain dates, say on weekends, or only between certain hours. I can do that manually; however, was wondering if there is any automatic method available that could handle this chore. Thanks! -- Jerry

I figured out they might accidentally be compressed twice - they are. How could this happen? I used this script: dovecot-maildir-compress.sh (https://gist.github.com/cviebrock/e37f80a3223dfee19051c936c5ebe509) which appends an additional flag 'Z' after processing/conmpressong the mail and only compresses those without the flag: > find=$(find "$maildir" -type f -name "*,S=*" -mtime +30 ! -name "*,*:2,*,*Z*" -printf "%f\n") ... > if echo $flags | grep ','; > then > newname=$filename"Z" > else > newname=$filename",Z" which is actually neat. Now two possible things: (1) I am not quite sure yet but my best guess is that moving messages from one folder to another (via mail client) the message looses it's 'Z' flag. (2) compressing might have failed to rename but successfully compressed the file and the another consecutive run of the script compressed the file again. How could I recursively (a) check each maildir file if e.g. the output of(zcat $file | zcat) is ASCII or !binary (b) find all mails which are compressed - i.e. valid gzip - but miss the 'Z' flag ? (c) find all mails that are valid gzip but dont contain ASCII if / dont uncompress to mail ? There are backups in place for all files I get a error for, but I want to recursively fix the problem. Any hint? Thanks in advance! -M -- info(a)awib.it

Searching small(ish) sites on ubuntu
by Dirk Koopman 05 Jan '19

05 Jan '19

I run a small dovecot site with ~5 users, some of whom have many large mailboxes. I used to use lucene until the packagers decided that it broke some licencing rules and stopped including it. I have dismally failed to configure Solr, plus it is huge and potentially exposes too many services as well. Squash is deprecated (but still used?) in 2.2+. I am currently on 2.2.33. So what can I use? Or do I have to bite the bullet and install from source, thus losing the advantages of packaging and automatic updates? Dirk

Moving Alternate Storage to another disk.
by bOnK 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Hello, Dovecot 2.3.4_3 on FreeBSD 11.2. I am using mdbox Alternate Storage since about two years without any problems. However, the disk containing this storage is almost full and I have to move this data to another disk, probably zpool. Would it be okay to do the following? 1) Shut down dovecot (and mail server) so no new mail comes in. 2) Copy/move all files in ALT location to new disk, using shell commands like cp/mv/cpdup. 3) Change the path to ALT in dovecot-conf mail_location. 4) Change the 'dbox-alt-root' soft-links in each users main (INBOX) directory to point to this new location. 5) Start up dovecot and mail server. Am I missing something or maybe there is a better way? -- Thanks, and have a nice new year. bOnK

Sieve script unable to file into public folder after dovecot upgrade to version 2.3.4
by Andreas Oster 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Hi all, Wishing you and your families a Happy New Year 2019. I am currently struggling with an odd sieve issue after upgrading dovecot from 2.2.32 to the latest 2.3.4 version. OS is Ubuntu 18.04. For one of our users I have a sieve rule in place which should copy (keep + fileinto) incoming mails from the INBOX to a public namespace folder. Unfortunately this does not work anymore. In the sieve log file of the user I get error messages like this: sieve: info: started log at Jan 02 12:41:31. error: msgid=<dc6bdcb2-7efb-0f0a-3a6d-c1133233c11f(a)novanetwork.de>: failed to store into mailbox 'Public/Verteiler': Permission denied. This is the content of the sieve script : require ["fileinto"]; keep; fileinto "Public/Verteiler"; stop; At first I thought it might be caused by a faulty IMAP ACL but this does not seem to be the case. When I do a manual copy in Thunderbird from the INBOX to this public folder there are no problems at all. Does anybody have an idea what could be the cause of the issue ? Thank you very much for your kind help. Best regards Andreas

dovecot-uidlist path
by Christos Chatzaras 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

When I use this: mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n the dovecot-uidlist file is located in: /home/mail/example.com/user/dovecot-uidlist But when I change it to: mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%n:CONTROL=/var/mail/%d/%n then it's stored in: /var/mail/example.com/user/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist Any idea why is not stored in: /var/mail/example.com/user/dovecot-uidlist ?

Error with virtual index "Broken mailbox_count header"
by Tobias Kirchhofer 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

Hi, we experience trouble with one of our virtual mailboxes. dovecot-virtual: ` * -INBOX/Trash -INBOX/Spam all ` Error log: ```Error: virtual index /var/vmail/mailboxes/kirchhofer.net/tobias/virtual/all: Broken mailbox_count header``` This happens only with the filter form above. All other virtual mailboxes works fine. Jakobus Schürz experienced something similar: https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2018-January/110656.html We do not have the panic message. Is this probably something on our side or is this Dovecot? ``` namespace virtual { prefix = Virtual/ separator = / location = virtual:~/virtual } -- collect(a)shift.agency

I had this previous installation working, with LD_LIBRARY_PATH configured, on solaris 10 u8 since 2014. During this relativelly calm period I did a LiveUpgrade to latest solaris 10 ( u11 ) and the only application that stopped working is dovecot. This mean that ( obviously ) solaris changed something on security. No binary is setuid or setgid in dovecot dir: ls -l /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 259452 Dec 29 14:59 /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot root@puma find . -perm 4000 root@puma find . -perm 2000 root@puma find . -perm 1000 but yes, I agree that eventually the SRL stuffs could make them job. Probably is not tied to the setuid/setgid but with the fork of a binary from inside another one with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in use. Thus the option is ( could be ) to use the R[UN]PATH feature or the wrapper with the new LD_LIBRARY_PATH ( as I'm doing now altough less secure ) or recompile with the -R option passed to linker, as suggested by James ( and verified to be working at least with the "dump" ).

Several problems on Solaris10
by Pierluigi Frullani 01 Jan '19

01 Jan '19

Hi all, I've just upgraded my old Solaris 10 update 8 to Solaris 10 update 11 with the latest patches, but after the reboot with the new update I'm having a lot of problems with dovecot. My version is 2.2.13 ( it was the last one, at the time of the first server setup ). I have seen that ( it seems ) the new solaris don't honour the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The first error was a relocation error: relocation error: file /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-login.so.0: symbol EVP_PKEY_get1_EC_KEY: referenced symbol not found Just to bypass this phase I have linked the openssl-1.0.1e in /usr/local/lib ( libssl and libcrypto ) but then I got a new relocation error: imap: Error: dlopen(/usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so) failed: ld.so.1: imap: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so: symbol http_url_parse: referenced symbol not found Did someone has some idea on how to bypass those troubles ? Thanks in advance Pierluigi

I'm trying to move from my exising server to a new site. In preparation for this I've set up the new server as per the first attachment. I've added additional (temporary) setting to the new site as per these instructions https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync but when I try to do a backup with the following command from the old to the new site sudo doveadm -D -o imapc_user=user1@oldserver -o imapc_password=pw-oldserver backup -R -u user1@newserver imapc: I get ----------------------- Error: User initialization failed: imapc: Login to 'oldserver' failed: Disconnected from server ---------------------- I can connect to both sites without any issues openssl s_client -crlf -connect newserver:993 openssl s_client -crlf -connect oldserver:993 Not sure what I'm missing. Have also included the config for the old site Thanks, Leo

BUG mailboxaliases, does not take into account namespaces
by Marc Roos 30 Dec '18

30 Dec '18

Does not honour namespaces. Should at least get the namespace location and link to that location and not just created a folder and link to it in the main/top? Namespace.

BUG mailboxaliases plugin not working with subfolders
by Marc Roos 30 Dec '18

30 Dec '18

The mailboxalias plugin is not working when subfolders are created, rendering its use quite useless. It should work of course something like this. (then I would be able eg. to put my archive mailboxes on different storage, by just creating one symlink on archive (get it??;)) If there is a new mailbox created And in its path there is a folder/path configured in aliases plugin Get the original folder location of that symlink Create a new file with the original name + new subfolder name, in the same location as the parent And then create a symlink to that created file with Thus not this mailbox_alias_old8 = Archive mailbox_alias_new8 = Archived messages -rw------- 1 xxx xxx 0 Dec 30 15:36 .Archive lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx xxx 8 Dec 30 15:36 .Archived messages -> .Archive -rw------- 1 xxx xxx 0 Dec 30 15:40 .Archived messages.am-test But this: -rw------- 1 xxx xxx 0 Dec 30 15:36 .Archive lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx xxx 8 Dec 30 15:36 .Archived messages -> .Archive -rw------- 1 xxx xxx 0 Dec 30 15:40 .Archive.am-test lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx xxx 8 Dec 30 15:36 .Archived messages.am-test -> .Archive.am-test And then if you fix this, you might aswell take this into account. Thus in case I already have a symlink on .Archive -rw------- 1 xxx xxx 0 Dec 30 15:36 .Archive -> /home/mail-archive/userx/.Archive lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx xxx 8 Dec 30 15:36 .Archived messages -> /home/mail-archive/userx/.Archive lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx xxx 8 Dec 30 15:36 .Archived messages.am-test -> /home/mail-archive/userx/.Archive.am-test Then your mailboxaliases plugin starts to make sense a bit, now it is not consistent in its naming and is only creating a mess.

Archive namespace accepting messages to the main folder
by Marc Roos 29 Dec '18

29 Dec '18

I am struggling with an archive namespace. I am not sure if this is can solved. But if you right click in apple mail on a message and choose archive. It wants to move the message to the folder Archive folder (marked in the attached). If I set inbox=yes it is possible to move the mail in this folder, but then I get other problems (two namespaces with inbox=yes). When I leave it inbox=no, I get a complaint of apple mail that the mailbox is not selectable (attachment) namespace { type = private separator = / prefix = Archive/ location = mbox:/home/mail-archive/%u/Archive/:CONTROL=/home/mail-archive/%u/Archiv e/control:INDEX=/home/mail-archive/%u/Archive/index:LAYOUT=maildir++ inbox = no hidden = no list = yes subscriptions = yes } PS. I would like the archive to be located on different storage/mount -----Original Message----- From: Heinlein-Support Team [mailto:support@heinlein-support.de] Sent: 18 December 2018 19:46 To: Marc Roos Subject: Re: Are you still in business this +49 30 40 50 51 is not working [HPLS-Ticket#2018121810002908] Hallo Marc Roos, > I just talked with someone on this emergency number, they told me > someone would call me back.

Hello, I run Dovecot 2.3.2.1 and I keep separate index / control files: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/liveindexes/indexes/%d/%n:CONTROL=/liveindexes/control/%d/%n When I try to set an ACL on a folder, I get this error: Dec 26 17:35:56 imap2 dovecot: imap(user(a)domain.com): Error: file_dotlock_open(/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/Maildir/.Test/dove… failed: Resource temporarily unavailable Dec 26 17:35:56 imap2 dovecot: Error: imap(user(a)domain.com): Mailbox Test: Failed to set ACL Is it normal for it to try opening the dotlock in the Maildir ?

Problem with different certificates
by Andreas Meyer 27 Dec '18

27 Dec '18

Hello! Dovecot manages different domains. Today I renewed the certifiactes from letsencrypt and since that time, dovecot does not recognized the certs for different domains anymore: This is part of my config: ssl = yes ssl_cert = < /etc/letsencrypt/live/bitcorner.de/fullchain.pem ssl_key = < /etc/letsencrypt/live/bitcorner.de/privkey.pem local 37.120.166.21 { # instead of IP you can also use hostname, which will be resolved protocol imap { ssl_cert = < /etc/letsencrypt/live/bitcorner.de/fullchain.pem ssl_key = < /etc/letsencrypt/live/bitcorner.de/privkey.pem } } local 46.38.231.143 { protocol imap { ssl_cert = < /etc/letsencrypt/live/nimmini.de/fullchain.pem ssl_key = < /etc/letsencrypt/live/nimmini.de/privkey.pem } } This worked for years and I don't know what's wrong now. It seems dovecot just takes the default certs into account and ignores the certs defined with "local" completly. Any help appreciated. Kind regards Andreas -- PGP-Fingerprint: F004 8EEE 5E54 F2EA 566E B939 22E5 85DD AA14 AC0A

Re: Errors with missing links to files when using Single Instance Storage and zlib (Dovecot 2.3.4)
by Daniel Schütze 27 Dec '18

27 Dec '18

Having had a week with the system I'm now inclined to believe that the issues I've seen are not necessarily related to SIS and zlib but may be due to replication instead. After experiencing these issues and looking at historical mailing list posts I wrote a basic script (as was suggested as a possible diagnostic approach for SIS before SIS was even implemented!) which pulled all the mail from a user doveadm fetch -u username body all > /dev/null 2>error.log This generated errors in error.log for every e-mail with a problem. From that and some use of sed,uniq,cut and ln I was able to (re)create the missing links. Unfortunately the error generated was only the first missing link for all the links expected for an e-mail. So my script had to be run multiple times per user until no more errors were reported. This wasn't all that onerous given I was basically running on a test box before mass migrating my users. A better approach would have been to scan the mdbox files for all links expected and check the existence of them all. Having (re)created all missing links I've not had a single instance of a link being missing after a week of delivery of mail (where the errors were regular before this procedure). I have also since looked at how replication handles links. What I hadn't expected was that the links created on the server pair are not the same. Although I had two servers which started in the same state (one a clone of the other) after a month or so of replication they had diverged to the state where if I sent a test message to the one server I could see the file name of the link created to the has was not the same on both servers (although obviously the hash itself was the same name and content wise). This leads me to believe the errors I saw where most likely down to my expecting the two servers in the pair to have identical SIS attachment directories/hardlinks to hashes and the way I handled my migration. Coming from a database mail server were replication master/slave means the backend should be absolutely identical if all is working I may simply have gotten the wrong idea of dovecot replication. With my 2.3.1 and 2.3.4 replication pair there were a lot of the tcp errors which the changelog for Dovecot stated had been fixed post 2.3.1; mainly the connection timing out after 10 minutes. Looking at the code for replication (which I'm not going to claim I've fully go to grips with) it looks like the name of a hardlink is made up of essentially [hash]-[identifier including mailbox GUID]. It must be the case then that the [identifier including mailbox GUID] can diverge between server pairs, at least with 2.3.1 as a version involved.

I am running Dovecot 2.3.4 on FreeBSD11.2 and I did not see this error on Dovecot 2.3.1 FreeBSD 10.4. Both installs had the same configuration for Dovecot. Both installs were made from source code and not packages (as the need for the non standard fts and mysql options). During my testing I had the 2.3.1 install receive mail and replicate to the 2.3.4 and that was working fine (except for tcp connection issues which I saw was fixed in the changelog). Unfortunately having gone into testing with real account and mail being sent to the 2.3.4 install I'm seeing the above errors. My clients are using Thunderbird on desktops and Roundcube for webmail. My users report they can see the e-mails fine in their webmail (Roundcube) and only Thunderbird is giving issues. I admit I don't know how this can be the case as both systems use the same account details. In everycase so far there is a file in the hashes directory I have hand crafted the missing file (i.e. link) using ln and this restores access in Thunderbird. Clearly this is an big issue for my install and I'd appreciate any help! At the moment it looks like my course will be to try and script creation (recreation?) of the links from the error logs (I've seen people talking about this online) but that isn't really what I'm after.

Migration to 2.3.36 using replication
by Thomas Durand 26 Dec '18

26 Dec '18

Hello, I have to migrate my dovecot box to a new one. I would like to know if it’s possible to do this migration with the replication process. My plan is to activate replication between 2.2.10 server and the 2.3.4 new server. Then I will update the DNS to redirect the name to new box. Users will then connect either on the new or the old box depending on the dns upgrade. Does anyone have already experienced such process ? Is there any incompatibility issue ? Thanks. Thomas

Heads-up regarding non-replication of Sieve scripts?
by Markus Ueberall 25 Dec '18

25 Dec '18

Dear all, A couple of months ago, it has been mentioned that multiple users experienced a problem regarding the synchronisation of Sieve scripts by means of "dsync" (whereas e-mails were replicated just fine between servers) [1][2] for Dovecot v2.3.x; the same problem apparently occurred with early versions from the v2.2 branch some three years ago but has been marked/confirmed as fixed back then [3]. Since I'm currently using the 2.2.33.2[-1ubuntu3] packages from the Dovecot community software repository and would like to upgrade to v2.3.x at one point, I'm very interested in hearing whether the above problems have been fixed (if so, how?) since I do not want to semi-manually synchronise the Sieve scripts between two mail servers in active/active mode on my own. Thanks in advance for a heads-up / Kind regards, Markus [1] https://www.dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2018-October/113244.html [2] https://www.dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2018-August/112548.html [3] https://www.dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-February/099658.html

Password expiration: how to trigger it?
by Cédric Jeanneret 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

Dear Dovecot Team, I'm in the (long) process of migrating my whole email infrastructure. Of course, dovecot is in the place, and is working just fine. Still, I have an issue: password expiration. I'm now using FreeIPA backend for the user authentication, and it includes the capacity to expire passwords. Basically, it's an LDAP with fancy things, among them a field named krbPasswordExpiration (yes, that's kerberos). In order to make things simple, I'd rather NOT force my users to set up a kerberos/gssapi/whatever on their personal computer (most of them will just have blank gaze if I start talking about that). Is there a way to make Dovecot use that field? It's apparently a simple date in %Y%M%D%H%m%sZ format, so a pretty neat thing to test. If there's some support for that in Dovecot, that is. If not, as a last resort, I can configure the freeIPA to deactivate the user if the password is expired, and this should push another field in the user description. Would that be a possibility for Dovecot, in case it can't use the datetime field as is? Thank you for your support! Cheers, C.

outlook idiocy - IMAP folders with /
by Wojciech Puchar 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

user attempts to create folders with / dovecot naturally cannot create it so it returns error but outlook of course "create" it and keep data in local store only. data is lost when you remove local store .pst file. The question is - can dovecot be configured so it will automatically replace slash in name with something else?

SIS feature request
by Daniel Miller 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

I tried SIS a couple years ago - I was very excited with the resulting decrease in storage requirements but the undiagnosed intermittent issues became too significant to ignore so I switched away. Recently I was thinking about it again. The primary issue with SIS seemed to be links would be deleted even though the source attachment files and related mails still existed. It was possible to either manually re-build the links or have a script scan the mail error log and perform such. I haven't looked at the code - but a thought for a possible "temporary" fix: 1. Whatever function in dbox code that performs the deletion of links - prior to actually deleting call a new function that will verify if any mails exist that reference it. A new function, without modifying existing code, may catch something the existing functions don't - and if it logs the fact that it was called and found something...perhaps we can find the flaw in the original algorithm. Just a thought. 2. In the mail retrieval function, if the attachment link doesn't exist - perform the relevant scan through the attachment database and if found re-create the link automatically. This should log an error but indicate the recovery. -- Daniel

High Load average on NFS Spool - v.2.1.15 & 2.2.13
by Albert E. Whale, CEH CHS CISA CISSP 19 Dec '18

I have two servers pointing to an NFS mounted mail spool with dovecot. Since I recently switched from using Dovecot v1.X, I have been experiencing high CPU use with the two Dovecot servers. I am not certain why they are not well behaved. Here is the configuration information. This configuration is currently running at a load average of 17. /usr/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.1.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.10.54-server-2.mga3 i686 Mageia 3 base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no lock_method = dotlock login_greeting = SpamZapper Email ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c mail_debug = yes mail_fsync = always mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_privileged_group = mail mbox_lock_timeout = 15 mins mmap_disable = yes passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap pop3 service anvil { client_limit = 203 process_limit = 1 } service auth { user = root } service imap-login { chroot = login client_limit = 10 user = dovecot vsz_limit = 256 M } service pop3-login { chroot = login client_limit = 20 user = dovecot } ssl = no syslog_facility = local2 userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 20 pop3_logout_format = top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 } And the other server which is currently running with a load average of 10. dovecot -n # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=100 } is lower than required under max. load (303) # OS: Linux 4.1.15-server-2.mga5 x86_64 Mageia 4 base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * lock_method = dotlock login_greeting = SpamZapper Email ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c mail_fsync = always mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_privileged_group = mail mmap_disable = yes passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap pop3 service anvil { client_limit = 100 process_limit = 1 } service auth { user = root } service imap-login { chroot = login client_limit = 48 user = dovecot vsz_limit = 256 M } service pop3-login { chroot = login client_limit = 50 user = dovecot } ssl = no syslog_facility = local2 userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 pop3_logout_format = top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 40 } Can you please offer a suggestion on what is happening?

Re: How to configure Dovecot to disable NIST's curves and still rertain EECDH?
by Kurt Fitzner 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

My opinion is that security by RFC is not security, it's mommy medicine. Standards have had a terrible time keeping up with security realities. NITS's curves leak side channel information all over the place. I don't have details on what implementations are set to calculate the NIST curves in constant time, and that's not an easy feat to do anyway so I don't want to depend on implementations that say they are actually doing it the right way. Frankly I can't be bothered to keep up with that. There are better curves TODAY, so yes I intend to use them if I can find a way. Otherwise, I'll just keep EECDH disabled. I have EDH now, and I've not yet run into a client that doesn't support it. I want EECDH, but I won't use it without safe curves. I'm confident that EECDH with safe curves and a second choice of EDH will support any clients that are worth using. OpenSSL supports X25519, and that is half the battle. Is there a way to change the curve selection in Dovecot?

How to configure Dovecot to disable NIST's curves and still rertain EECDH?
by Kurt Fitzner 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

I am interested in configuring Dovecot's TLS so as to retain forward secrecy, but eliminate all of NIST's elliptic curves. Besides being subject to side channel attacks [1], in some quarters there is a general distrust of NIST's curves and any of their other cryptographic primitives after the Dual EC DRBG debacle. >From what I can tell, the following will prevent the use of NIST's curves (along with other dangerous primitives) in Dovecot, but this is accomplished by simply disabling EECDH entirely. ssl_cipher_list = HIGH:!DSS:!EECDH:!ECDH:!SHA1:!aNULL:!eNULL:@STRENGTH This should still retain forward secrecy through the use of EDH, but this doesn't leave much in the way of allowable algorithms on my server: $ openssl ciphers -V 'HIGH:!DSS:!EECDH:!ECDH:!SHA1:!aNULL:!eNULL:@STRENGTH' 0x00,0x9F - DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 TLSv1.2 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=AESGCM(256) Mac=AEAD 0x00,0x6B - DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA256 0x00,0x9D - AES256-GCM-SHA384 TLSv1.2 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AESGCM(256) Mac=AEAD 0x00,0x3D - AES256-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA256 0x00,0x9E - DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=AESGCM(128) Mac=AEAD 0x00,0x67 - DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA256 0x00,0x9C - AES128-GCM-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AESGCM(128) Mac=AEAD 0x00,0x3C - AES128-SHA256 TLSv1.2 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(128) Mac=SHA256 Is there a better way to do this? Is there a way to disable only the suspect NIST curves and still retain EECDH but with side-channel safe curves like X25519?

Errors with missing links to files when using Single Instance Storage and zlib (Dovecot 2.3.4)
by Daniel Schütze 18 Dec '18

18 Dec '18

I'm running Dovecot 2.3.4 with Single Instance Storage (SIS) and zlib and I am frequently seeing errors where files are missing in the attachments directory even though the zipped file in the hash directory is actually there. This appears not to have been an issue in Dovecot 2.3.1 Requested output of the server below. The error looks like this in the log Dec 18 08:58:58 dovecot01 dovecot: imap(username)<3692><RKnPGEh9fC3AqAAB>: Error: Mailbox INBOX/FOLDER: UID=41: read(attachments-connector(zlib(/usr/home/vmail/mail/username//mdbox/storage/m.411))) failed: read(/usr/home/vmail/attachments/91/08/91085773a0774909207852b8f9c98dbe22fe5a31-e88ba0276aae135cd2050000d09efc50[base64:19 b/l]) failed: open(/usr/home/vmail/attachments/91/08/91085773a0774909207852b8f9c98dbe22fe5a31-e88ba0276aae135cd2050000d09efc50) failed: No such file or directory (FETCH BODY[]) I'm also seeing errors when replication fails dovecot: dsync-local(username)<bzg3MqjhGFxmFwAAzRvpBw>: Error: dsync(servername): read(attachments-connector(zlib(/usr/home/vmail/mail/username//mdbox/storage/m.413))) failed: read(/usr/home/vmail/attachments/45/42/4542dcf385f6b4a4dc8752b96db1d7ad8a8023d5-ac735007f6bd135c93440100cd1be907[base64:19 b/l]) failed: open(/usr/home/vmail/attachments/45/42/4542dcf385f6b4a4dc8752b96db1d7ad8a8023d5-ac735007f6bd135c93440100cd1be907) failed: No such file or directory (last sent=mail, last recv=mail (EOL)) It is not the case that every replication fail has a corresponding imap access fail. I am running Dovecot 2.3.4 on FreeBSD11.2 and I did not see this error on Dovecot 2.3.1 FreeBSD 10.4. Both installs had the same configuration for Dovecot. Both installs were made from source code and not packages (as the need for the non standard fts and mysql options). During my testing I had the 2.3.1 install receive mail and replicate to the 2.3.4 and that was working fine (except for tcp connection issues which I saw was fixed in the changelog). Unfortunately having gone into testing with real account and mail being sent to the 2.3.4 install I'm seeing the above errors. My clients are using Thunderbird on desktops and Roundcube for webmail. My users report they can see the e-mails fine in their webmail (Roundcube) and only Thunderbird is giving issues. I admit I don't know how this can be the case as both systems use the same account details. In everycase so far there is a file in the hashes directory I have hand crafted the missing file (i.e. link) using ln and this restores access in Thunderbird. Clearly this is an big issue for my install and I'd appreciate any help! At the moment it looks like my course will be to try and script creation (recreation?) of the links from the error logs (I've seen people talking about this online) but that isn't really what I'm after.

Change default mode for attachment files
by Олег Кривоносов 18 Dec '18

18 Dec '18

Hi I migrated my dovecot server from Maildir to mdbox with saving attachments to external files and enabled SIS a few days ago. Everything works fine except one issue. I have both virtual and system users. Dovecot saves attachments with mode 0600. So I catch such errors for system users: dovecot: lda(wasya): Error: fs-sis: Couldn't read hash file /var/mail/attachments/2e/dc/hashes/2edc6009bc9b6ba38febb581df03986dcaf134d9: Permission denied I want to fix this issue by changing default file mode to 0660 via group policy. I found such feature in the changelog (v2.1.rc2 2012-01-06): lib-fs: Added "mode" parameter to "posix" backend to specify mode for created files/dirs. Unfortunately I can't find any information about this feature in the dovecot documentation. Can I use it to setup mode 0660 for attachments in the dovecot configuration? uname -a Linux diplo.trueconf.ru 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux dovecot --version 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) 10-mail.conf dovecot configuration: mail_access_groups = vmail mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox mdbox_preallocate_space = yes mdbox_rotate_interval = 1 weeks mdbox_rotate_size = 5 M mail_attachment_dir = /var/mail/attachments mail_attachment_min_size = 32k mail_attachment_fs = sis posix mail_attachment_hash = %{sha1} Thank you

Possible attack?

I'm not sure how I'm able to authenticate as root - there isn't a root user defined in my LDAP database and that should be the only auth backend enabled for Dovecot.

We don't replace phones just because new versions are available, we replace them when they stop working, and when we do we usually get refurbished because we hate how much electronic waste is in the world. I have to admit, the tin foil hat of mine just got an alert. We know there are unexplained constants in the NIST curves including P-256 - what if NSA was partially responsible for this bug (back room deal to avoid anti-trust prosecution, similar deal with IBM was made in the 70s I believe also involving cryptography) so that Android apps that use ECDSA (beyond just the mail client, e.g. chat apps) would use P-256 for compatibility and are maybe vulnerable to MITM for the key exchange. I want Ed25519 now.

Overrideing pop delete?
by ＠lbutlr 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

Is it possible to override the POP3 delete on download command and make sure that messages stay on the server for at least X hours or X days? It is important that the messages be around long enough to hit a snapshot cycle (using rsnapshot to backup ever hour). -- Greedo didn't shoot first, motherfucker!

Bug in IDLE implementation for virtual mailbox
by Pali Rohár 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

Hello! I found bug in Dovecot's IDLE implementation when virtual mailbox is in use. IDLE does not notify about new emails when email appears in newly created mailbox and IDLE was issued in virtual folder which matches "*" wildcard and that mailbox was created after opening virtual mailbox. This problem is present in version 2.2.34 which is available in Debian Stretch system with backports. Reproducer: 1. Create virtual "All" mailbox in Gmail-like style: $ cat All/dovecot-virtual * -Drafts -Spam -Trash ALL 2. Ensure that (real non-virtual) mailbox "Test" does not exist. 3. Create sieve rule which deliver some email to "Test" mailbox. require [ "fileinto", "mailbox" ]; ... fileinto :create "Test"; 4. Open dovecot imap connection, select virtual "All" mailbox and then enter IDLE command. 4. Send email which matches that sieve filter. Email will be processed by dovecot sieve. As "Test" mailbox does not exist, dovecot sieve would first create it and then deliver email into it. Now dovecot imap should notify IDLE client that new message into virtual "All" mailbox was delivered (as it collects emails from all - * - mailboxes). But dovecot for some unknown reason does not notify via IDLE that there is a new email. To get notifications, it is needed to re-open that "All" mailbox again. -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar(a)gmail.com

ssh_dh?
by Daniel Miller 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

Don't know if this was corrected in 2.3.4 (haven't upgraded yet but didn't see it in the notes) - but in 2.3.3 I see this in my log: imap-login: Error: Diffie-Hellman key exchange requested, but no DH parameters provided. Set ssh_dh=</path/to/dh.pem So...either there's an undocumented feature of SSH-over-IMAP (that's Dovecot - always on the cutting edge!) or someone had a coffee shortage during a coding session... -- Daniel

Upgrade to 2.3.1 has failed
by C. Andrews Lavarre 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

Problem: We had Dovecot v2.2 working just fine under openSUSE Leap 42.3. But we upgraded openSUSE to Leap 15.0. In the process, Dovecot got upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3.1. It no longer works and I haven't figured out how to downgrade to the older working version. The key issue seems to be the change to requiring dh.pem and changing s sl_protocols to ssl_min_protocols. I think I've navigated both correctly, but it still doesn't work. The error is auth: Error: stats: open(old-stats-user) failed: Permission denied as a consequence of which we get imap-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL server context: Can't load SSL certificate: There is no valid PEM certificate. We have followed the instructions at https://wiki.dovecot.org/S SL/DovecotConfiguration 1. We have created /etc/dovecot/dh.pem (yes it took five hours) 2. We have edited 10-ssl.conf as directed by the Wiki: ssl = yes ssl_cert = /etc/certbot/live/privustech.com/fullchain.pem ssl_key = /etc/certbot/live/privustech.com/privkey.pem ssl_dh = /etc/dovecot/dh.pem #(yes, it took five hours to create...) ssl_min_protocol = TLSv1 ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!kRSA:!SRP:!kDHd:!DSS:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!3DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4:!ADH:!LOW@STRENGTH ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = no 3. We have checked 10-ssl.conf against the 2.3 default at https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/doc/example-config/conf.d/10-ss… 4. We do NOT include the less than (<) symbol before the paths because then dovecot fails to load complaining it cannot find the files. 5. we have checked all the pem keys, certificates, and dh files with cat, they all exist and are in the expected hash format. 6. We have followed the instructions to set their permissions root:root 0444 and 0400 accordingly. 7. We have rebooted the host. Any help or clues would be most appreciated. Kind regards, Andy

mailbox locking
by Victor Sudakov 16 Dec '18

16 Dec '18

Dear Colleagues, I use exim's appendfile transport, procmail and a local mutt on my system, they all (to my knowledge) use lockfiles when working with mboxes. However, `doveconf | grep lock` says dotlock_use_excl = yes lock_method = fcntl mail_max_lock_timeout = 0 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 2 mins mbox_lock_timeout = 5 mins mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl pop3_lock_session = no Do I need to change anything in dovecot's default locking setup? Does it still use lockfiles on mboxes or not? There are some contradictory parameters IMHO. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/

Feature request SCRAM-SHA-256

Hi, is that here the right place to make feature requests? dovecot supports as authentication mechanism SCRAM-SHA-1 from RFC 5802 which was updated to SCRAM-SHA-256 in RFC 7677 Can SCRAM-SHA-256 be added to the authentication mechanisms? I would not like to request, that SCRAM-SHA-1 will be exchanged by SCRAM-SHA-256, since several applications only support SCRAM-SHA-1 Regards Torsten

If you and Alexander are stumped then surely I am too! I swear I didn't change anything, and indeed have tried going back to the backup of 10- ssl.conf, which worked under 2.2, but doesn't under 2.3 even after making the changes described in the upgrade documentation. All I did was change all the repositories to Leap 15.0 from Leap 42.3 and execute zypper dup. It took several hours to complete at which point everything works just fine, except that Dovecot was upgraded from 2.2.xxx? to 2.3.1 without my even agreeing to it... :-( This version 2.3.1 is the openSUSE repository offering for their Leap 15.0. I tried finding a rollback version yesterday—2.2.3, 2.2.9... I don't need all the bells and whistles, I just want it to work—but all had one kind of dependency hell or another... :-( What I've done in the meantime is to mount /home/alavarre/Maildir with sshfs, and then point KMail at it, so I can read and write email without dovecot, but it would be nice to fix it IDC... So maybe the right answer is to try the latest, perhaps in Tumbleweed... I'm usually allergic to self-compiling, I alway seem to find one dependency hell or another, but I'll go ahead and try anyhow. I'll let you know. In the meantime all the failed logins have put me in jail by the provider (Cox Cable) accusing me of being a spammer... :-( But for now I'll go have a gin and tonic and hit it again tomorrow... :-) Enjoy your weekend, and thank you again for your thoughts and time.

Downloading e-mail from a master mail server
by R. Diez 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Hi all: I am trying to migrate a small company from Microsoft Exchange / Outlook to Thunderbird. I am evaluating e-mail server software. We have an Internet provider that we do not really want to rely upon. We also do not have the resources to maintain a mail server visible from the outside, especially regarding security updates. Each employee has an e-mail account on our current Internet provider, and one e-mail account on our internal Exchange Server. Our Exchange server periodically downloads all e-mails from the Internet provider mailboxes to its local mailboxes. Therefore, employees cannot access their e-mails when travelling. We have worked this way for years without problems. There are other ways, like VPN access etc, but we do not have the resources to install or maintain more IT stuff. So I would like to keep this setup, with one important difference: e-mails on the Internet provider mailboxes should remain there for a couple of weeks. This is similar to Thunderbird's option "Leave a copy on server" together with "For at most xx days". This way, employees could access at least their most recent e-mails when travelling, if only over the Internet provider's web interface. I could achieve such a setup without a local mail server at all, only with the Thunderbird clients, but I have not figured out yet how to automatically backup all mailboxes. See this question of mine: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1243605 So I am trying to design a solution with Dovecot, but I know too little about mail servers. How could I configure Dovecot / MTAs / whatever in order to achieve the "Leave a copy on server" together with "For at most xx days" mentioned above? This way, Dovecot does not need to be exposed on the Internet. Failing that, could someone tell me at least how to configure Dovecot / whatever to download the external IMAP mailboxes to the internal IMAP mailboxes? When I read about Postfix and the like, I see SMTP and e-mail queues, but that's not what I need. This guy wants a similar setup: https://serverfault.com/questions/500591/fetch-all-mail-from-an-imap-server… But I did not understand the Fetchmail part, which seems to be discouraged anyway: "Fetchmail can be used as a POP/IMAP-to-SMTP gateway for an entire DNS domain, collecting mail from a single drop box on an ISP and SMTP-forwarding it based on header addresses. (We don't really recommend this, though, as it may lose important envelope-header information. ETRN or a UUCP connection is better.)" I also haven't understood yet the backup part with Dovecot. There is no central e-mail database like in Microsoft Exchange, right? How do I backup all mailboxes for all users? I probably need to stop the Dovecot server an any MTAs before backing the raw files underneath, right? Many thanks in advance, rdiez

dovecot user id and mail folder permissions, was "no shared cipher"
by Marco Fioretti 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Greetings, I thought it may be better to start a separate thread now that the cipher problem is solved. Background: I have had to recreate from scratch, and without notice, a working server to a new VPS, with different versions of dovecot and other software. Now I am having problems with accessing the imap folders from home. Now I have postfix/procmail successfully delivering email to the right IMAP folders. Problem is, postfix/procmail run as user mail_manager, group mail_management, and the permissions on those folders are currently all set to 755. The consequence is that dovecot, running as user "dovecot", extra group mail_management, cannot modify those folders and their indexes. What is the best/safest configuration in these cases? 1) run dovecot too as user "mail_manager"? (if yes, how, with dovecot 2.2.36?) 2) recursively change permissions of ALL the mail folders and files to 775? 3) both 1) and 2) ? 4) other (e.g. certain permissions for folders, others for specific files? Thanks in advance for any advice! Marco

"no shared cypher", no matter what I try
by Marco Fioretti 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Greetings, I have had to reinstall my email server on another Linux (centos 7.6) VPS, with a newer version of dovecot, other software and a brand new letsencrypt certificate just for email withpostfix and dovecot (that certificate works fine with postfix). Output of dovecot --version and dovecot -n on the new server is below. Now, messages ARE delivered in the right IMAP mailboxes, but when I try to connect with Mutt from my home computer, mutt says, before prompting for a password: gnutls_handshake: A TLS fatal alert has been received.(Handshake failed) the corresponding output of dovecot in /var/log/maillog is below. The gist of it **seems** to me to be the "no shared cipher" part, but I may be wrong. In any case, I have already tried to search online for that string, and other relevant parts of the log, without success. All I have found is suggestions to change the values of ssl_protocols and/or ssl_cipher_list to some non-default value, but I have tried all those tips without success. Current values of those variables are these: grep -v ^# /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/MYSERVERNAME/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/MYSERVERNAME/privkey.pem ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!ADH:!LOW:!EXP:!aNULL:+HIGH:+MEDIU any pointer to what to check or change next is VERY welcome.

Indexer worker small bug
by André Rodier 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Hello, I think I submitted this before, but I am not sure this has been addressed I am using AppArmor with Dovecot, without any issue. However, I think there is a bug in the indexer working, from what I can see, a missing trailing slash. See: ------------ Dec 09 14:35:53 portal2 kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(1544366153.379:3035): apparmor="DENIED" operation="file_mmap" info="Failed name lookup - disconnected path" error=-13 profile="/usr/lib/dovecot/indexer-worker" name="var/cache/nscd/hosts" pid=10540 comm="indexer-worker" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1001 ouid=0 ------------ The indexer worker is trying to open the file "var/cache/nscd/hosts" instead of "/var/cache/nscd/hosts", which of course fails. Can someone double check the code of the indexer worker, or this has been fixed? Thanks, André -- https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox

set seen flag and junk moving a mail manually to JUNK
by Jakobus Schürz 10 Dec '18

10 Dec '18

Hi there! I want to set the \seen and the Junk Flag to an email, which i move manually to my Junk-Folder. I tried a lot... but nothing worked like expected. I have a sieve-filter, which takes an email and copy it to a pipe to rspamc. This filter is working correctly, i get a debug-message from the script, which is called through the sieve-filter. But adding another rule (addflag "Junk"; setflag "\\seen";) to this rule is getting ignored... Here is my sieve-rule: require ["imap4flags", "vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve", "environment", "variables"]; if environment :matches "imap.email" "*" { set "email" "${1}"; } addflag "Junk"; setflag "\\seen"; pipe :copy "learn-spam.sh" [ "${email}" ]; How said before, the script learn-spam.sh is called, when i move a Message via drag&drop in thunderbird from the INBOX to the Junk-Folder. But the message in the Junk-Folder is unseen, recent and has no Junk-Flag... What's wrong? BR Jakob

Sieve notify variables not working with body?

Hi, I want to send notification like this: if body :text :matches "*" { notify :importance "3" :message "[NOTIFY] ${1}" "mailto:test@example,com"; } The notification works but the variable ${1} seems to be empty. But in this case: if header :matches "Subject" "*" { notify :importance "3" :message "[NOTIFY] ${1}" "mailto:test@example,com"; } Everything works correct. Regards, Bambero

Mail aliases plugin not honouring namespace?
by Marc Roos 08 Dec '18

I have namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace Archive { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = yes location = mbox:/home/mail-archive/%u/ prefix = Archive/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } Without aliases, folders are created at /home/mail-archive/%u/ which is expected When I am adding these mailbox aliases mailbox_alias_old = Archive mailbox_alias_new = Archives These folders are created in the default namespace .Archive .Archives.2018 .Archives Is this as expected? I am at least not expecting it.

argonid and dovecote
by Jerry 06 Dec '18

on a FreeBSD 11.2 amd64 machine, I am trying to get Dovecot 2.3.4 to play nice with "argonid" encryption.

Dovecot 2.3.4 crashing on Solaris 10 - "Panic: output stream is missing error handling"

Restricting sending mail to domain or group
by admin 06 Dec '18

06 Dec '18

Hi folks, has anybody a simple solution for the following request? I have a group alias (all(a)company.com) (1) Only company.com accounts should be able to send an email to everybody in that company via all(a)company.com. (2) - rather optional: refine the restrictions, e.g. two groups, grp1(a)company.com and grp2(a)company.com. Grp1 members should be able to send mails to grp2 but not vice versa. What else than sieve would keep dealing with that demands as simple as possible? Thanks in advance and sorry for abusing this list for this kind of „problem“ which is not a bug. Regards, -M

Error: Corrupted record in index cache file
by Orion Poplawski 05 Dec '18

05 Dec '18

With dovecot-2.2.36-3.el7.x86_64 we had a couple hours where mail_plugins did not properly include zlib for all of the needed services. This seems to have led to some corruption in our mdbox mailboxes. I've run doveadm force-resync on a number of users, but I'm still seeing messages like this: dovecot[13563]: imap(USER): Error: Corrupted record in index cache file /var/spool/imap/USER/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.cache: UID 67976: Broken physical size in mailbox INBOX: read(zlib(/var/spool/mail/USER/storage/m.1203)) failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (2978 < 8192, box=INBOX, UID=67976) Is there anything that can be done about this? Can I safely delete the dovecot.index.cache file? I'm hesitant to do so since I understand that the mdbox format uses the index to store mailbox information and deleting at least some index files is a destructive operation.

vacation script issue
by fins 05 Dec '18

05 Dec '18

Hello, I have a complete Postfix + Dovecot + openLDAP setup almost working, the only issue I have is the vacation script auto-reply that doesn't work properly. If I send an email to a user with the vacation filter enabled, the auto-reply is send to a local recipient with the same account name. So for example if I send a mail from test(a)xyz.com to test(a)example.com, the auto-reply is received on the test(a)example.com address instead of the test(a)xyz.com who's the original sender. Here's a log file: Dec 3 13:52:48 imap dovecot: lda(test(a)example.com): Debug: sieve: executing script from /var/mail/example.com/test/.dovecot.svbin Dec 3 13:52:48 imap dovecot: lda(test(a)example.com): sieve: msgid=< dovecot-sieve-1543841568-836314-0(a)imap.example.com>: discarding vacation response to auto-submitted message from <MAILER-DAEMON> Dec 3 13:52:48 imap dovecot: lda(test(a)example.com): sieve: msgid=< dovecot-sieve-1543841568-836314-0(a)imap.example.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Dec 3 13:52:48 imap postfix/pipe[6663]: D835A300E05: to=<test(a)example.com>, orig_to=<test(a)xyz.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.1, delays=0.03/0.01/0/0.06, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) Can somebody help with this issue and/or point where to go for debugging?

Random issue on mailbox "assertion failed"
by Thomas Durand 05 Dec '18

Hi, Since few weeks, I have regularly the issue below with some mailboxes - This is happening randomly. Users are complaining emails are not visible. The situation is recovered by removing indexes but I would like to have it fix permanently. Ruuning dovecot 2.2.10 - Anyone to advise me what is wrong ? Thanks.

And what about the "dovecot-keywords" files in both folders? Do they match? The letter "a" seems to indicates that there is at least one non-standard flag defined in the source folder's keywords. By the way, can I assume you move messages only by using Thunderbird/IMAP and not by manipulating the file system? Here's how things look on my server: # On arrival (UNSEEN) 1543968031.M941319P5841.foo,S=1390,W=1422:2, # After reading (SEEN) 1543968031.M941319P5841.foo,S=1390,W=1422:2,S # After being moved to another folder (SEEN) 1543968031.M941319P5841.foo,S=1390,W=1422:2,S I can use IMAP search terms SEEN and UNSEEN as indicated above, and I see the same message state displayed in Notmuch mail (my default, it accesses Dovecot's Maildir storage directly) and various IMAP clients connecting to Dovecot. Things are working just fine here. -Ralph -- Сергей .

Log synchronization error

Hi there! I've installed dovecot for debian from the dovecot-repo in the latest Version 2:2.3.4-2~stretch And i still get this error-messages. dovecot[5817]: imap(user.name)<26484><nzUgti58YaEuffpZ>: Error: Log synchronization error at seq=4,offset=5748 for /var/lib/dovecot/db/indexes/Maildir/user.name/Trash/dovecot.index: Append with UID 202, but next_uid = 203 I read in the release-notes, that doveadm force-resync can solve this problem... But it didn't I ran the command on all Mailboxes, but deleting a message in Thunderbird (= moving it into Trash) causes the error above. Do you need further informations? BG jakob

Mailing list address harvested for spamming
by dovecot-e51＠deemzed.uk 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

Not to stir the pot, but I notice my email address has recently been harvested from this list for spamming purposes. This email address is unique and not used for anything else. I'd distinguish this from spam sent to the mailing list itself, which is obviously different. Is there anything further that could be done to prevent this? -- Dave

Relocate subfolders to different mount point
by Marc Roos 03 Dec '18

03 Dec '18

I would like to relocate the subfolders of the Sent folder to a different location. Now send messages mail is stored in mbox format at the location /home/users/testuser/mail/.Sent. I would like to store the subfolders Sent/2017 and Sent/2018 at the location /home/archive/users/testuser/.Sent.2017 and /home/archive/users/testuser/.Sent.2018 Is this even possible? I am using currently using this mail_location: mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:CONTROL=~/mail/control:INDEX=/var/d ovecot/%u/index:LAYOUT=maildir++ /var/dovecot is on a ssd /var/spool/mail is on sda ~/mail is on sdb with these folders [@mail]# ls -ac1 .folderc .Drafts .foldera control .Trash.folderc .folderb .Sent .Sent.2018 .Trash

The tool metaphor is realistic. In my experience (which dates back to the 1980s), email ist a powerful tool, and people need to learn how to use it properly, with the appropriate software set. Especially in the area of technical mailing lists I see no reason to cater to dumb MUA software. > Email should be intitive If by "intuitive" you mean "used without engaging one's brain", I have to disagree.

Sieve broken after upgrade
by Pavel Stratil 02 Dec '18

02 Dec '18

Hi everyone, after switching to ubuntu (from debian) and running a newer dovecot --version 2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec) i encountered a problem with configuring sieve.

Dovecot crash
by JCA 01 Dec '18

01 Dec '18

This happening when my Thunderbird client is trying to establish a connection with a Dovecot server. Some background first: 1) I am running Thunderbird 6.20.1 from a Linux client. 2) Other clients (e.g. Maildroid in my Android phone) do not have any issues. 3) The Dovecot software is version 2.2.9, running in a Linux server. 4) This may be the root of the problem: at some point, the Dovecot software was changed to version 2.3.1, and the reverted to 2.2.9. The crash started to appear when this reversion took place. My guess is that upgrading to 2.3.1 will eliminate this problem. However, in case that does not solve the problem, I would be grateful if anybody could throw some light into exactly what is going on here, and whether it can be fixed even without the need of upgrading to 2.3.1. What follows are the traces generated by Dovecot 2.2.9 when a connection is attempted from Thunderbird, with usernames and IP addresses disguised for privacy, and some blank lines inserted for readability: Nov 28 13:36:20 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<xyz>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.yyy.z zz.154, lip=aaa.bbb.ccc.7, mpid=29245, TLS, session=<q7jNhL97qQDMhbWa> Nov 28 13:36:20 imap(xyz): Panic: file mail-index-sync-keywords.c: line 227 (key words_update_records): assertion failed: (data_offset >= sizeof(struct mail_index_record)) Nov 28 13:36:20 imap(xyz): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so. 0(+0x65626) [0xb75ae626] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x6569f) [0xb75ae6 9f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0xb756180e] -> /usr/lib/dove cot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_keywords+0x707) [0xb76cb6b7] -> /usr /lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_record+0xf7) [0xb76cc167] - > /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_map+0x2a4) [0xb76cd22 4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_map+0x57c) [0xb76bcb9c ] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xb7c2a) [0xb76b7c2a] -> /usr/lib /dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xb7daa) [0xb76b7daa] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libd ovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_open+0x114) [0xb76b7f54] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libd ovecot-storage.so.0(index_storage_mailbox_open+0xab) [0xb76a808b] -> /usr/lib/do vecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x5a481) [0xb765a481] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdove cot-storage.so.0(+0x5a6f2) [0xb765a6f2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.s o.0(+0x7a017) [0xb767a017] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_o pen+0x26) [0xb767a1d6] -> dovecot/imap(client_open_save_dest_box+0x79) [0x805dca 9] -> dovecot/imap() [0x8052678] -> dovecot/imap(command_exec+0x32) [0x805d7a2] -> dovecot/imap() [0x805c746] -> dovecot/imap() [0x805c820] -> dovecot/imap(clie nt_handle_input+0x125) [0x805cad5] -> dovecot/imap(client_input+0x71) [0x805ce91 ] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x42) [0xb75c1292] -> /usr /lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xdb) [0xb75c22cb] -> /usr/lib/ dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x48) [0xb75c0cd8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdo vecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2d) [0xb756728d] -> dovecot/imap(main+0x2bf) [0x 8066fef] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0xb73cfdb6] Nov 28 13:36:20 imap(xyz): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 29245 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) Nov 28 13:36:20 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<xyz>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.yyy.z zz.154, lip=aaa.bbb.ccc.7, mpid=29247, TLS, session=<xPzShL97lADMhbWa> Nov 28 13:36:21 imap(xyz): Panic: file mail-index-sync-keywords.c: line 227 (key words_update_records): assertion failed: (data_offset >= sizeof(struct mail_inde x_record)) Nov 28 13:36:21 imap(xyz): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so. 0(+0x65626) [0xb7757626] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x6569f) [0xb77576 9f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0xb770a80e] -> /usr/lib/dove cot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_keywords+0x707) [0xb78746b7] -> /usr /lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_record+0xf7) [0xb7875167] - > /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_map+0x2a4) [0xb787622 4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_map+0x57c) [0xb7865b9c ] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xb7c2a) [0xb7860c2a] -> /usr/lib /dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xb7daa) [0xb7860daa] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libd ovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_open+0x114) [0xb7860f54] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libd ovecot-storage.so.0(index_storage_mailbox_open+0xab) [0xb785108b] -> /usr/lib/do vecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x5a481) [0xb7803481] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdove cot-storage.so.0(+0x5a6f2) [0xb78036f2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.s o.0(+0x7a017) [0xb7823017] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_o pen+0x26) [0xb78231d6] -> dovecot/imap(client_open_save_dest_box+0x79) [0x805dca 9] -> dovecot/imap() [0x8052678] -> dovecot/imap(command_exec+0x32) [0x805d7a2] -> dovecot/imap() [0x805c746] -> dovecot/imap() [0x805c820] -> dovecot/imap(clie nt_handle_input+0x125) [0x805cad5] -> dovecot/imap(client_input+0x71) [0x805ce91 ] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x42) [0xb776a292] -> /usr /lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xdb) [0xb776b2cb] -> /usr/lib/ dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x48) [0xb7769cd8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdo vecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2d) [0xb771028d] -> dovecot/imap(main+0x2bf) [0x 8066fef] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0xb7578db6] Nov 28 13:36:21 imap(xyz): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 29247 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled)

Replacing email envelope
by jon.sp2＠wp.pl 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

Hi, Could you please advice how I can replace envelope of a message received on my server? Best would be using sieve. Simple case - email A(a)example.com receives message, which I'd like to repack into new envelope (I want to have control what values in the envelope will be there - from, to, replay-to et.c) and send to B(a)test.com . At first I wanted to use editheader extension, but it is not allowing me to modify From or To values as far as I can tell. Another idea was to use envelope, but I don't see any way of editing values. Only reading. Now, I am thinking of writing script and from sieve it will be passed there, where I'll do message parsing and send new message using mutt or something similar. Frankly speaking I suppose there is much better solution to that and I'd appreciate any advice on the topic. Thanks, Jon

rspamd / imapsieve script is not executed/called
by Michael Ludwig 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

Hi to all of you, as I am struggling around with this a week or so I'm afraid I have to ask for help here. The problem is sitting right in front of the computer, as most of the time. ;-) So let me explain: Dovecot is working properly for IMAP with LE certificates, so I thought it's time to continue with Christoph Haas tutorial primarily and other blogs and tutorials for setting up the server. Next part would be to get rspamd learning what mails the user puts into junk folder. I followed the tutorial, but it will not work. Also I tried to get into debug mode, but I feel that dovecot is not really logging too much. Server is freshly set up Ubuntu 18.04.1, latest patchlevel with packages mostly from Ubuntu sources, except rspamd, but this was added as ppa if my remembering is correct. This is what I get on syslog, whilst *.* is being put at /var/log/allmessages. ######################################### Nov 25 23:30:50 myserver dovecot: imap(info(a)mydomain.tld): Debug: INBOX/Junk: Mailbox opened because: UID move Nov 25 23:30:50 myserver dovecot: imap(info(a)mydomain.tld): Debug: imapsieve: mailbox INBOX/Junk: MOVE event Nov 25 23:30:50 myserver dovecot: imap(info(a)mydomain.tld): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.4.21 (92477967) initializing Nov 25 23:30:50 myserver dovecot: imap(info(a)mydomain.tld): Debug: sieve: Sieve imapsieve plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.4.21 (92477967) loaded Nov 25 23:30:50 myserver dovecot: imap(info(a)mydomain.tld): Debug: sieve: Sieve Extprograms plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.4.21 (92477967) loaded Nov 25 23:30:50 myserver dovecot: imap(info(a)mydomain.tld): Debug: imapsieve: Static mailbox rule [1]: mailbox=`Junk' from=`*' causes=(COPY) => before=`file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve' after=(none) Nov 25 23:30:50 myserver dovecot: imap(info(a)mydomain.tld): Debug: imapsieve: Static mailbox rule [2]: mailbox=`*' from=`Junk' causes=(COPY) => before=`file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve' after=(none) ######################################### So as far as I can interpret there is absolutely no script called when I move a mail from inbox to junk folder in Thunderbird.

Best way of merging mbox files
by Marc Roos 30 Nov '18

30 Nov '18

When concatenating mbox files like described here https://xaizek.github.io/2013-03-30/merge-mbox-mailboxes/. You will end up with an 'unsorted' mbox file. Is this going to be a problem esspecially when they are large >2GB's and new emails will be written to it? The email client nicely sorts the message from folder A "foldera 5 last" as last, but of course the mbox is not like this. Is there a better solution for merging files? Having: A folder A with messages: From Subject Received Size test foldera 1 16:18 665 B test foldera 2 16:18 665 B test foldera 3 16:18 665 B test foldera 4 16:18 665 B test foldera 5 last 16:29 670 B A folder B with messages: From Subject Received Size test folderb 1 16:23 665 B test folderb 2 16:24 665 B test folderb 3 16:24 665 B test folderb 4 16:24 665 B test folderb 5 16:24 665 B [@ mail] cat .foldera .folderb > .folderc Getting a folder C with messages: From Subject Received Size test foldera 1 16:18 665 B test foldera 2 16:18 665 B test foldera 3 16:18 665 B test foldera 4 16:18 665 B Mail System Internal Data DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA 16:19 454 B test folderb 1 16:23 665 B test folderb 2 16:24 665 B test folderb 3 16:24 665 B test folderb 4 16:24 665 B test folderb 5 16:24 665 B test foldera 5 last 16:29 670 B

"merging" folders Sent-Items Sent-Messages Sent
by Marc Roos 29 Nov '18

29 Nov '18

I have a running server and would like to clean up a bit, and merge sent folders and trash folders etc. Is this best done via the mailbox alias plugin like mentioned here? Or is there a better way? I prefer to have one folder listed at the client, and not "Unfortunately it also means that some clients will download the same mails to local cache multiple times." https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailboxAlias dovecot-2.2.10-8.el7.x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)

Dovecot Version: 2.3.2.1 Hello Mailing List, We are having a random issue in a couple of our production servers, where one of the child processes randomly dies with an out of memory error (see below): Nov 26 11:58:17 config: Fatal: pool_system_malloc(8192): Out of memory Nov 26 11:58:17 pop3-login: Fatal: Error reading configuration: read(/var/run/dovecot/config) failed: EOF Nov 26 11:58:17 config: Fatal: master: service(config): child 29696 returned error 83 (Out of memory (service config { vsz_limit=2048 MB }, you may need to increase it) - set CORE_OUTOFMEM=1 environment to get core dump) We only use dovecot for internal application POP3 mail access from a mailbox, and there is under 10 connecting applications. Have have gradually increased the vsz_limit from the default of 256mb up to 2GB now. Is there anything else that should/could be changed instead of continuing to through memory at it? # dovecot -n # 2.3.2.1 (0719df592): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core) # Hostname: <Internal host name here, removed> doveconf: Warning: please set ssl_dh=</etc/dovecot/dh.pem doveconf: Warning: You can generate it with: dd if=/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat bs=1 skip=88 | openssl dhparam -inform der > /etc/dovecot/dh.pem auth_cache_size = 10 M auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ default_vsz_limit = 2 G instance_name = EMX Pop Mailstore listen = <Internal ethernet Name Here, removed> log_path = /var/log/dovecot-echo.log login_greeting = Pop3 MailServer Ready. login_trusted_networks = <IP Addresses Here, removed> mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir 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 = cache_key=%u driver = pam } protocols = pop3 ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_ssl = yes Thanks, Kevin

Hello list. I am running dovecot v2.2.13 on debian 8.8; I tried to add a "address =" statement for only localhost and one private IP, but then I got a complaint from system: dovecot[20515]: Error: systemd listens on port 143, but it's not configured in Dovecot. Closing. What is the proper way to resolve this? TIA & Regards, Dudi

LDAP login fails after LDAP server restart
by Dag Nygren 25 Nov '18

25 Nov '18

Hi! Just udated my Fedora dovecot to version 2.2.36 and found that after the update dovecot will fail all LDAP logins after slapd has been restarted during the logrotate. Restarting dovecot fixes the problem. Is there a bug preventing dovecot to reopen the LDAP session when it fails? Best Dag

Installing on Mojave, with Homebrew and mysql
by James Brown 25 Nov '18

25 Nov '18

I’m using Homebrew to install Dovecot on Mojave, but have to modify the formula to add ‘--with-mysql’. Unfortunately compiling always fails with: checking for mysql_config... NO checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no configure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not found I added: ENV['LD']="-L/usr/local/opt/mysql(a)5.7/lib" to the ‘def install’ section of the formula, but it still fails. config.log shows: … KRB5_LIBS='' LD='-L/usr/local/opt/mysql(a)5.7/lib/' LDAP_LIBS=‘' … And mysqlclient is here: $ locate mysqlclient /usr/local/Cellar/mysql(a)5.7/5.7.24/lib/libmysqlclient.20.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/mysql(a)5.7/5.7.24/lib/libmysqlclient.a /usr/local/Cellar/mysql(a)5.7/5.7.24/lib/libmysqlclient.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/mysql(a)5.7/5.7.24/lib/pkgconfig/mysqlclient.pc I changed the formula to: ENV['LD']="-L/usr/local/Cellar/mysql(a)5.7/5.7.xn--24/lib/-236c And still get the same thing. Any suggestions? Thanks, James.

Is there any information on using dovecot on Mojave? I have been using Mac OS Server for a few years and looking for the preferred way to move to Mojave since dovecot and postfix admin support has been dropped by Apple.

Testing validity of Dovecot config in a script
by Ralph Seichter 24 Nov '18

24 Nov '18

While trying to determine a given configuration is valid from within a script, I found that the following works with Dovecot version 2.3.2.1: #!/usr/bin/env bash doveconf -n >/dev/null || echo "Config is invalid" However, the return code is not documented in the doveconf manual page, and I wonder if the observed behaviour can be relied on? Is this the recommended method to test configuration validity? Personally, I'd like to have a dedicated call available. Something like # Proposal: "-t" for "test config" doveconf -t [-c config-file] with documented return codes would be ideal. -Ralph

Problems after upgrading to 2.3.2.1
by Joel Dahl 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

Hi, I've just upgraded dovecot from 2.2.35 to 2.3.2.1 on my mail server and noticed something odd. My mail clients (mutt and Apple mail) both stopped seeing new mail in my mailboxes. For example, ~/Maildir/mailinglist1/new has 5 new mails. In mutt, vieweing the list of mailboxes mutt reports 0 new mail for "mailinglist1". Opening up the actual mailbox in mutt reveals the 5 new mails. Going back to the list of mailboxes, mutt now correctly reports 5 unread mails. Waiting a few hours, and about 10 new mails have arrived, but mutt still says 5 unread. This is the same for every mailbox. As a test I deleted the index files for a specific mailbox and restarted dovecot. But it didn't help. I use procmail to deliver my mail into the Maildir folders, if that matters. Any ideas? I haven't changed my dovecot configuration in a long time, except for adding ssl_dh after the upgrade. My config is below: auth_mechanisms = plain login imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep tb-lsub-flags info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes passdb { args = session=yes dovecot driver = pam } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </path/to/cert.pem ssl_dh = # hidden ssl_key = # hidden userdb { driver = passwd } -- Joel

doveadm dsync-server doesn't use user parameter?
by Harald Leithner 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

Hi, I tried to migrate my dovecot 2.2 to a new server with a other storage configuration and dovecot 2.3. New (and old) Server uses mysql for user information I use the following storage settings mail_home = /storage1/vmail/%{userdb:path} mail_location = mdbox:/storage1/fast/%{userdb:path}:FULLDIRNAME=iTrNiCs-DBOx-mAiLs:INDEX=/storage1/indexes/vmail/%{userdb:path}:ALT=/storage1/slow/%{userdb:path}:VOLATILEDIR=/tmp/%{userdb:path} userdb:path is generated by the mysql query and ends in something like "2000/6" SQL: CONCAT(u.idAccount, '/', u.idUser) AS userdb_path If I login with imap dovecot is creating the INBOX on the correct path /storage1/fast/2000/6/mailboxes/INBOX btw. it creates a link to dbox-alt-root but without creating the target directory is this expected? Now if I start doveadm backup -u <username> remote:mailstore2 it ignores it seams that dsync-server doesn't make a database query and doesn't use the userdb_path field. It only uses /storage1/fast/mailboxes/INBOX as path. Is this a problem with my configuration? thx --- doveconf -n # 2.3.3 (dcead646b): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.3 (f018bbab) # OS: Linux 4.15.18-7-pve x86_64 Debian 9.6 zfs # Hostname: mailstore2 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 1 secs auth_cache_size = 10 M auth_cache_ttl = 1 secs auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = PLAIN LOGIN APOP auth_verbose = yes default_client_limit = 600 default_vsz_limit = 512 M dict { lastlogin = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext sqlacl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 1001 first_valid_uid = 1001 hostname = mailstore2 imap_hibernate_timeout = 1 mins imap_id_log = * imap_id_send = * imap_idle_notify_interval = 10 mins imap_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o instance_name = mailstore2 last_valid_gid = 1001 last_valid_uid = 1001 lda_original_recipient_header = X-LDA-Original-To lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes login_greeting = ITronic Mail Store login_trusted_networks = 172.22.14.0/24 mail_cache_min_mail_count = 5 mail_gid = vmail mail_home = /storage1/vmail/%{userdb:path} mail_location = mdbox:/storage1/fast/%{userdb:path}:FULLDIRNAME=iTrNiCs-DBOx-mAiLs:INDEX=/storage1/indexes/vmail/%{userdb:path}:ALT=/storage1/slow/%{userdb:path}:VOLATILEDIR=/tmp/%{userdb:path} mail_plugins = lazy_expunge acl quota mail_log notify mail_prefetch_count = 100 mail_server_admin = mailto:postmaster@example.com mail_server_comment = Mail System mail_shared_explicit_inbox = yes mail_uid = vmail 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 vacation-seconds mdbox_preallocate_space = yes namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = mdbox:/storage1/fast/%{userdb:path}:MAILBOXDIR=expunged:LISTINDEX=expunged.list.index:FULLDIRNAME=iTrNiCs-DBOx-mAiLs:INDEX=/storage1/indexes/vmail/%{userdb:path}:ALT=/storage1/slow/%{userdb:path}:VOLATILEDIR=/tmp/%{userdb:path} prefix = "#EXPUNGED/" subscriptions = no type = private } namespace { list = children location = mdbox:%%h/mdbox prefix = "#Users/%%u/" separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { hidden = no inbox = yes location = mailbox Archvie { special_use = \Archive } mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes result_success = continue-ok } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::sqlacl last_login_dict = proxy::lastlogin last_login_key = #

Re: LDAP stored quota
by Aki Tuomi 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

I noticed that you sent replies to me directly... Anyways, seems the problem was that the LDAP user_attrs is missing commas, and the mailRoutingAddress is used wrong, so the correct syntax would be: user_attrs = \ mailRoutingAddress=user, \ =uid=vmail, \ =gid=mail, \ =home=/var/mail/%d/%n, \ =quota_rule=*:bytes=%{ldap:departmentNumber} Aki > On 22 November 2018 at 15:29 Vincent Seynhaeve <vlamsdoem(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > doveadm quota recalc -u test doesn't give anything. > Bellow the ouput of the `doveconf -n` and `doveadm user test` > > doveconf -n > # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > # OS: Linux 3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 > (Core) xfs > auth_debug = yes > auth_mechanisms = plain login > auth_verbose = yes > mail_debug = yes > mail_gid = mail > mail_home = /var/mail/%d/%n > mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir > mail_plugins = " quota" > mail_uid = vmail > managesieve_notify_capability = mailto > managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character > vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags > copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave > mbox_write_locks = fcntl > namespace 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-ldap.conf.ext > driver = ldap > } > plugin { > quota = maildir:User quota > quota_grace = 10%% > quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M > quota_status_nouser = DUNNO > quota_status_overquota = 552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full > quota_status_success = DUNNO > sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve > sieve_dir = ~/sieve > } > protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve > service auth { > unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { > group = postfix > mode = 0666 > user = postfix > } > unix_listener auth-userdb { > group = mail > mode = 0600 > user = vmail > } > } > service imap-login { > inet_listener imap { > port = 0 > } > } > service managesieve-login { > inet_listener sieve { > port = 4190 > } > } > service pop3-login { > inet_listener pop3 { > port = 0 > } > inet_listener pop3s { > port = 0 > } > } > ssl = required > ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/imap.example.com.crt > ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/imap.example.com.key > userdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext > driver = ldap > } > protocol lda { > mail_plugins = " quota sieve" > } > protocol imap { > mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota" > } > > > > > doveadm user test > field value > uid vmail > gid mail > home /var/mail//test > mail maildir:/var/mail//test/Maildir > mailRoutingAddress user =uid=vmail =gid=mail =home=/var/mail//test > =quota_rule=*:bytes=1M > > > Le jeu. 22 nov. 2018 à 14:18, Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi(a)open-xchange.com> a > écrit : > > > Can you provide output of `doveconf -n` and `doveadm user test`?

Same emails appearing multiple time after upgrade to version 2.33

Hi, I have update today dovecot and dovecot pigeonhole to the latest version available on my centos 7. It’s a small email servers with postfix/amavisd/clamav/spamasssin. I had dovecot for IMAP/POP3 with spam plugins to store spam message automatically into the spam folder. After the upgrade, I was noticed by some of my users that they have in their message the same message appearing 2,3 even 10 times. I had the same behavior when using roundecube I was able to stop this after removing pigeonhole rpm (removing/disabling the config was not enough). Would appreciate your help to understand what is wrong with my config.

Multi-server but small scale
by Daniel Miller 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

I have a small but critical server that supports our group. As a single server - it's obviously a single-point-of-failure for lots of things. As I just experienced...again. It was a lot more fun building systems from components when I was younger... Previously 3rd-party hosted solutions didn't look attractive for several reasons...but I'm seeing prices now for cloud virtual machines that are stupid cheap. Even if they wind up being limited speed & availability - it would seem they'd be a lot better than nothing! So I'm considering having at least one backup server for various services - obviously that includes mail. So now I have to wonder about the backend. And while I think I'm reasonably current with networked file systems (not distributed or cluster) I haven't played with replication for a quite a while. For this particular usage (I'm envisioning two servers total) - is there a need/reason to use any form of networked/distributed/cluster file storage? Or would this be accomplished via "pure" Dovecot - dsync replication would keep things updated between the servers and director would handle the connections? So with identically configured SMTP servers, passing to the local LMTP agents, the file system would be "purely local" with no NFS or other interconnection? -- Daniel

analysing of dmarc report
by Poliman - Serwis 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

I have a problem with understanding dmarc reports and some features. I attach two reports. First one come from google.com, second one from tumieszkamy.pl. On my server is dns zone of domain kamir-transport.pl but whole mail service is deployed on Google - in dns zone MX points to Google and there are all mailboxes, aliases etc. Last time I have configured dkim and dmarc policies and I got two reports. Honestly I don't know why two, from two different providers - google.com and tumieszkamy.pl. Moreover in report originating from google I see IP of my server [which fails spf and dkim policies] and I don't understand why this IP is evaluated? Second thing which I don't understand is second report which I got from tumieszkamy.pl. SPF record in dns zone of domain kamir-transport.pl was looking like below (now I changed it to slightly different): *v=spf1 mx include:_spf.google.com <http://spf.google.com> -all* Does anybody could help uderstand these things? -- *Pozdrawiam / Best Regards* *Piotr Bracha*

Quota in MySql Dict not recalculate automatic
by SUnsin＠gv-bayern.de 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi, I have a working Installation with: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Dovecot 2.2.22 MySql 5.7.24 Postfixadmin 3.2 Apache 2.4.18 Rainloop 1.12.1 I manage the E-Mail Accounts with postfixadmin in a MySql-DB. Also I use quotas with Quota Backend postfixadmin-DB (dict). Everything works fine. Now I installed a new Server with the following Versions and migrate the Configs to the new System. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Doveot 2.2.33 MySQL 5.7.24 Postfixadmin 3.2 Apache 2.4.18 Rainloop 1.12.1 The Problem is now: When I receive a E-Mail, the quota will not Update (recalculate) automatical in the MySql-DB from Dovecot. In the old System there execute the SQL Statement after receiving a E-Mail, for example: UPDATE quota2 SET bytes=bytes+3076,messages=messages+1 WHERE username = <E-Mail Address> On the new System with the newer Dovecot Version, the Statement never comes after receive an E-Mail. With Dovecot Version 2.3 on the old System with Ubuntu 16.04, everything works fine with the same config. Is a BUG in the Dovecot Version 2.2.33 possible? Can everbody help me?

Update virtual folders via doveadm?
by Daniel Miller 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

I'm trying to have my server maintain it's FTS indexes reasonably current at all times. From prior threads, and based on my namespace configuration, I have the following hourly cronjob: doveadm index -A -q '*' doveadm index -A -q 'shared/*' doveadm index -A -q 'virtual/*' This seems to work just fine to maintain the FTS (Solr). However - as I understand it Dovecot's virtual folders are not updated with new mails until they are accessed by a client. Therefore the above command sequence would work fine for my default namespace and the shared - but the virtual namespace won't actually be current. So... Would a command such as: doveadm mailbox status -A messages virtual/* Be appropriate to run prior to the virtual/* FTS indexing? -- Daniel

IMAP Limitations with Outlook 2013?
by Robert Adkins 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Good Day! I have a fairly new user on my network that has, over about 10 months, created in root inbox and nested sub-folders totaling over 900 individual folders. In the past few weeks, newly created folders will be visible in Outlook 2013, but when an email is moved into that folder, it is no longer visible. I can ssh into the server, drill down to that sub-folder and see the email in the folder AND it is also available to be seen without issue in Thunderbird. I know this is a longshot, but if there is some feature that I haven't found in Dovecot to force Outlook to synchronize with all the folders/sub-folders, please let me know. Beyond that. With this particular users habits, over the next 5 years, there could be nearly 10,000 folders/sub-folders. Does anyone know if this will create any problems with Dovecot or is this JUST a Microsoft software problem? -- Best Regards, Robert Adkins IT Manager/Tool Designer Impel Industries, Inc. 586-254-5800

macOS Mojave: setgroups(501) failed: Too many extra groups
by Heiko W. Rupp 18 Nov '18

18 Nov '18

Hello, I have recently upgraded to macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and am running into an issue where one use can no longer log into dovecot via imap. Log shows Oct 11 08:10:27 imap(hwr)<12659><YpC/0+133+EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>: Fatal: setgroups(501) failed: Too many extra groups and indeed, the user is in 17 groups, which is more than NGROUPS_MAX (16). Another user with << 16 groups can log in fine. Unfortunately it is not (easily) doable to reduce the number of groups, as macOS seems to set them internally. Is there a config option that I am missing to work around this? Looking at the source, I see this is handled in src/lib/restrict-access.c::fix_groups_list(), where above the call to setgroups() a gid_list2 is constructed. I wonder if one could have a config option to prevent adding all those extra groups, which then make the call to setgroups() fail Any help appreciated Heiko -- hwr(a)pilhuhn.de m:0179/207 4919 b:http://pilhuhn.blogspot.com

Re: Issue sharing folders with Thunderbird

Hi Aki I see what you are saying, and no I don’t believe so. I’m using typical /etc/passwd for the user db. I reviewed https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields <https://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields> but I’m not clear on how to actually return system_user userdb attribute. I also have set mail_user_groups = sharedusers in dovecot.conf and then in /etc/group put all the users with mailboxes into the sharedusers group. I can see why that wouldn’t work if the above is not set. Can you point me in the right direction on how to pass that information?

Mail slowed down to a crawl...
by StarionTech (IMAP) 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Been moving along just fine for a couple years now, then in the last two days, email has slowed to a crawl. Retrieving email via IMAP is very slow, progress bar in the mail client shows that it is downloading messages almost constantly, like it never closes the connection, or it’s getting the messages very slowly. The server that dovecot/postfix is on has also bogged down to a crawl. The postfix queue is sitting with hundreds of queued up good customer email. It’s almost acting like dovecot is not getting the messages from postfix, or they’re being delayed for some reason. How to approach fixing this? Jeff J.

huge increase in storage activity afther dovecot upgrade

Hi, we upgraded our servers from version 2.2.13 to 2.2.27. After the upgrade we notice a 10x increase in traffic with the nfs storage an errors like this in the logfile: Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: Corrupted index cache file /.../dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: unlink(/.../dovecot.index.cache) failed: No such file or directory (in mail-cache.c:29) Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: Corrupted index cache file /.../dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size Nov 12 09:48:16 mail dovecot: imap(...): Error: Broken file /.../dovecot-uidlist line 8: Invalid data: Is this normal ?

dovecot 2.2/openssl 1.0 vs dovecot 2.3/openssl 1.1.1 ssl regression
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

Hi. I'm considering dovecot migration from 2.2.36 run with openssl 1.0.2o to dovecot 2.3.3 run with openssl 1.1.1. Currently I have both variants running with identical configs and certs (the only differences are due to config syntax changes in dovecot 2.3), so for example on both I have: ssl_ca = </etc/openssl/certs/wildcard_ca.pem (this file contains single intermediate certificate of my CA) ssl_cert = </etc/openssl/certs/wildcard_crt.pem (this contains single cerificate for my *.example.com domain) ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it (and one key) No alt certs in use. Chain is: - CA trusted by clients (this certificate isn't provided by my dovecot, it's not needed) - wildcard_ca.pem - intermediate CA - wildcard_crt.pem - wildcard certificate for my *.example.com domain dovecot 2.2.36 behaviour is to provide wildcard_ca.pem and wildcard_crt.pem to the client - that behaviour is OK. Client has full trust chain. dovecot 2.3.3 provides only wildcard_crt.pem certificate to the client which is a big problem because missing wildcard_ca.pem (intermediate certificate) breaks chain and client is not able to verify trust chain. Testing is done with simple: openssl s_client -connect my.example.com:143 -starttls imap -servername my.example.com -showcerts 2.3.x announcements and upgrade wiki mention no such behaviour change, so I assume it is a regression. Now doing cat wildcard_ca.pem >> wildcard_crt.pem solves the problem and dovecot starts providing both certs to clients but if that's the proper way of solving this issue then what's the point of having ssl_ca config setting? Ideas? -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

FETCH BODY vs FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE + FETCH BODY.PEEK
by Alessio Cecchi 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

Hello, we are developing a web page, for a ticket system, to show the email messages ordered by the biggest attachments size present in an IMAP folder, with a pagination of 100 messages per page. Each raw represents a message with "DATE, FROM, SUBJECT, the preview (the first 500 chars of the text/html of the messsage) and the list of the attachments (name + size) it contains. The problem is that the page load is VERY slow because we fetch the entire BODY of all 100 messages, in order to get the preview and the attachments name and size. Now, considering that each messages can contain up to 50 MB of attachments, we risk to download 5000MB from IMAP for every page. An option might be to perform two FETCH for each message: - one fetch with just the BODYSTRUCTURE (where we can get the attachments name and size and the text/html parts). - one fetch with the body parts (BODY.PEEK[]) we need to build the preview (text + html). We are wondering if there is a single FETCH command to get the text and html parts (needed to build the preview) with only the name and the size of the attachments without downloading the entire message. Thanks. -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Dovecot proxy: per user/domain 'namespace/inbox/prefix' from MySQL
by Adi Pircalabu 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

As a way to try and avoid using "prefix = INBOX." ad infinitum for the inbox namespace, I'm looking for ways to move on to "prefix =" for new mail accounts, and grandfather the existing ones. Previously running Courier-IMAP, now Dovecot, I looked at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces#Backwards_Compatibility:_Courier_IMAP and decided it's too risky to go down that path and use namespace compat, with so many IMAP clients out there the scope of testing is huge and the outcome is uncertain and not worth it. After reading https://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces#Per-user_Namespace_Location_From_SQL I thought I might be able to overwrite the server configuration per user returning 'namespace/inbox/prefix' value from SQL. Here's the setup I attempted, briefly: 1. Client connects to the Dovecot proxy, which authenticates the user and proxies to the backend using a query like this in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = mysql connect = <connection_string> password_query = SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = '%u' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 Works a treat. 2. Next, I'm trying to add the prefix lookup in the picture. In the same file I've added: user_query = SELECT ns_inbox_prefix AS 'namespace/inbox/prefix' FROM mailbox WHERE email = '%u' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 3. The mailbox table schema reads: CREATE TABLE `mailbox` ( `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `email` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `password` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `clear_password` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `host` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL, `port` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL, `ns_inbox_prefix` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `lastlog_remote_ips` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `curlog_remote_ips` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `disabled_smtpauth` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0, `last_modified` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT current_timestamp() ON UPDATE current_timestamp(), PRIMARY KEY (`id`), UNIQUE KEY `email` (`email`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; The 2 queries above return: MariaDB [postfix]> SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0; +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ | password | nopassword | host | starttls | proxy | +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ | NULL | Y | 192.168.123.24 | any-cert | Y | +----------+------------+----------------+----------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) MariaDB [postfix]> SELECT ns_inbox_prefix AS 'namespace/inbox/prefix' FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0; +------------------------+ | namespace/inbox/prefix | +------------------------+ | | +------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) After reloading dovecot service with auth_debug = yes are the maillog for an IMAP session: Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat Nov 15 12:43:48 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=7527) Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011session=AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB#011lip=::1#011rip=::1#011lport=1143#011rport=47222#011resp=<hidden> Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: sql(adi2@0aditest.local,::1,<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): cache miss Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth-worker(7533): Debug: sql(adi2@0aditest.local,::1,<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): query: SELECT NULL AS password, 'Y' as nopassword, host, 'any-cert' as 'starttls', 'Y' AS proxy FROM mailbox WHERE email = 'adi2(a)0aditest.local' AND disabled_smtpauth=0 Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0111#011user=adi2@0aditest.local#011host=192.168.123.24#011starttls=any-cert#011proxy#011pass=<hidden> Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: Invalid certificate: [...] Nov 15 12:43:53 proxy1 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(adi2(a)0aditest.local): started proxying to 192.168.123.24:143: user=<adi2(a)0aditest.local>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<AorrLqp6drgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Looks like user_query isn't executed, why?

execute sieve command - fails to notice script has exited
by Lionel Elie Mamane 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi, Running dovecot 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) on Debian GNU/Linux stable (version 9.6), I'm trying to use the execute command in a sieve script, with direct execution (not service socket). The script is executed, and returns (the process exits), but the dovecot-lda process seems to not notice, and thinks the script did not terminate. After sieve_execute_exec_timeout has passed, it sends a TERM, a bit later a KILL and then logs a failure. The "ps -Af f" looks like: S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/exim4 -Mc 1gMazS-0007IV-RB S 0:00 \_ /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f master(a)blitz.conuropsis.org Z 0:00 | \_ [foofilter] <defunct> S 0:00 \_ /usr/sbin/exim4 -Mc 1gMazS-0007IV-RB The dovecot debug log looks like: lda(user): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules lda(user): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib90_sieve_plugin.so lda(user): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/user lda(user): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/user/Maildir, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/home/user/Maildir, alt= lda(user): Debug: userdb lookup skipped, username taken from USER environment lda(user): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= lda(user): Debug: Destination address: user(a)blitz.conuropsis.org (source: user@hostname) lda(user): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) initializing lda(user): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global is not set; it is currently not possible to include `:global' scripts. lda(user): Debug: sieve: Sieve imapsieve plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) loaded lda(user): Debug: sieve: Sieve Extprograms plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 (fed8554) loaded lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Using active Sieve script path: /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Using script storage path: /home/user/sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Relative path to sieve storage in active link: sieve/ lda(user): Debug: sieve: file storage: Using Sieve script path: /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: file script: Opened script `test-foofilter' from `/data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve' lda(user): Debug: sieve: Using the following location for user's Sieve script: /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: Mailbox stdin: Opened mail UID=1 because: header Message-ID (Cache file is unusable) lda(user): Debug: sieve: Opening script 1 of 1 from `/data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve' lda(user): Debug: sieve: Loading script /data/home/user/.dovecot.sieve lda(user): Debug: sieve: Script binary /data/home/user/.dovecot.svbin successfully loaded lda(user): Debug: sieve: binary save: not saving binary /data/home/user/.dovecot.svbin, because it is already stored lda(user): Debug: sieve: Executing script from `/data/home/user/.dovecot.svbin' lda(user): Debug: sieve: action execute: running program: foofilter lda(user): Debug: Mailbox stdin: Opened mail UID=1 because: mail stream lda(user): Debug: waiting for program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-execute/foofilter' to finish after 0 msecs lda(user): Debug: program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-execute/foofilter'(24669) execution timed out after 2000 milliseconds: sending TERM signal lda(user): Debug: program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-execute/foofilter' (24669) did not die after 5000 milliseconds: sending KILL signal and an strace on the dovecot-lda process shows it is in an "epoll_wait(9 ....".

Proxy + 2x static passdb not working as expected
by Michael Goth 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi all, I'm trying to setup a Dovecot proxy that authenticates the user against two backend servers. If login server1 fails, server2 should be tried. The problem: Only the first server seems to be tried, even if the login fails. Config snippet: protocol imap { passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y nopassword=y host=oldserver1.example.com port=993 ssl=y } passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y nopassword=y host=oldserver2.example.com port=993 ssl=y } } With this config, only accounts on oldserver1.example.com can login. If I reverse the two passdb entries, only accounts on oldserver2.example.com can login. I've done the same with SQL passdb first + static passdb second. That worked as expected. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Attached is the output of doveconf -n Thanks Michael Mit freundlichen Grüßen -- Michael Goth .webflow GmbH Geschäftsführer: Andreas Schrei Wasserburger Straße 4 D - 83352 Altenmarkt a. d.

dsync / doveadm sync problem
by admin＠awib.it 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

Hi, I had an old dovecot server with a working backup script. Basic concept was: - to dsync to a temp folder - using tar to preserve datetime - piping this 7z to benefit from my 16 core cpu - piping this through openssl to encrypt Over time the size of all my mail grew from 3GB to about 70GB. I used to keep the last 14 backups, but this uses a lot of space. I now want to dsync my Maildir onto my NAS via NFS and use the backup tool provided by Synology to have incremental compressed backup. However I cannot get dsync to run. root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': stat(/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=1001(vmail) egid=1001(vmail) missing +x perm: /mnt/backup_mail, UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?)) root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace '': stat(/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=1001(vmail) egid=1001(vmail) missing +x perm: /mnt/backup_mail, dir owner missing perms) ——— Error message changed after removing „-f“. I then applied the folder permissions (chmod +x backup_mail/) and I get a different error: root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail dsync(USER@DOMAIN): Error: User initialization failed: namespace configuration error: All list=yes namespaces must use the same separator I found something about the namespace issue, but did not quite understand I guess. (separators seem to differ) From doveconf -n: [...] namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/vmail/mailboxes/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 30 days special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 183 days special_use = \Trash } prefix = } […] ——— However I only set up the namespace for inbox. root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# doveconf namespace gives namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/var/vmail/mailboxes/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u order = 0 prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 0 autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 60 days autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 60 days autoexpunge_max_mails = 0 comment = driver = special_use = \Trash } order = 0 prefix = separator = subscriptions = yes type = private } I guess here we see the config including defaults. Well… I think I only need the inbox namespace either way, so I tried: root@mail:/mnt/backup_mail# dsync -f -u USER@DOMAIN backup maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail/ -n inbox dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: read(remote) failed: EOF (version not received) doveadm(USER@DOMAIN): Fatal: execvp(maildir:/mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail/) failed: No such file or directory dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: Remote command process isn't dying, killing it dsync-local(USER@DOMAIN): Error: kill(15306, SIGKILL) failed: Operation not permitted The folder (mnt/backup_mail/MAILSERVER_FQDN/DOMAIN/USER/mail) however does exist. Can anybody tell me if there is something I miss? Thanks in advance! -M

I lost the whole maildir from my server fro 3 users. They all have iPhones with all the messages safely stored on the Apple Mail app on their phone. There is no way to export them/move them. Is there a way to get Dovecot to just download all the messages and folder structure from the client and restore it on the server? Your help is very very much appreciated. Thanks, ttyllc
