Dovecot v2.2.25 crashed on startup in Mac OSX
by Michael Chen 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

I built from dovecot-2.2.25.tar.gz on Mac OSX 10.11.15 (El Capitan) the usual way: CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib ./configure make sudo make install sudo /usr/local/sbin/dovecot It consistently crash on startup with the following entries in /var/log/mail.log (edited backtrace): Jul 27 07:39:26 macbook-pro dovecot[70234]: master: Dovecot v2.2.25 (7be1766) starting up for imap, pop3, lmtp Jul 27 07:39:26 macbook-pro dovecot[70234]: master: Panic: kevent(EV_ADD, READ, 60) failed: Bad file descriptor Jul 27 07:39:26 macbook-pro dovecot[70234]: master: Error: Raw backtrace: 2 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001000dc3fb default_fatal_finish + 43 -> 3 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001000dd4e0 syslog_handler + 0 -> 4 dovecot 0x0000000100026f8d master_fatal_callback + 429 -> 5 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001000dca9f i_panic + 415 -> 6 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001000ff022 io_loop_handle_add + 194 -> 7 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001000fb5f1 io_add_file + 385 -> 8 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x00000001000fb456 io_add + 118 -> 9 libdovecot.0.dylib 0x0000000100102b83 lib_signals_set_handler + 355 -> 10 dovecot 0x0000000100027070 main_init + 112 -> 11 dovecot 0x0000000100026628 main + 2024 -> 12 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff889ac5ad start + 1 It looks similar to this report: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/86319/match=panic+kevent HomeBrew installed 2.2.24, and it works in my Mac.

Converting mailboxes to UTF-8
by Артем Перекресний 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Is any proven routine to migrate mailboxes from mUTF-7 to UTF-8 encoding? I've try to use doveadm list/mutf7/rename but have been stuck with nested inboxes. Say I have the next structure: INBOX INBOX.жыр INBOX.жыр.ядъ encoded for FS respectively as .INBOX .INBOX.&BDYESwRA- .INBOX.&BDYESwRA-.&BE8ENARK- When I've try to rename INBOX.жыр with doveadm mailbox rename -u me -s "INBOX.&BDYESwRA-" $(doveadm mailbox mutf7 -7 "INBOX.&BDYESwRA-") I've get the next: .INBOX .INBOX.жыр .INBOX.жыр.&BE8ENARK- Sure when I've try to rename .INBOX.жыр.&BE8ENARK- I've get a message that this is not a valid mUTF7-encoded string. So that is the question.

imap & pop3 using same mailbox with virtual plugin
by Michael Fox 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

This is a noobie question, so bear with me if it's not worded correctly: Primary Requirements: 1) I'd like to have two namespaces - one private/per-user, and one public (visible by all logged-in users). The public mailbox would be used to distribute information to all users. 2) I'd like both POP3 and IMAP users to see both namespaces. As I understand it, this requires the use of the virtual plugin to create a virtual namespace which would mix together the private and public namespaces into one mailbox. I have read: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual https://sys4.de/de/blog/2013/02/11/dovecot-virtual-setup-mit-globaler-sieve- spamfilter-regel-fur-pop3-nutzer/ (via Google translation) I don't really understand the example MySQL code (too much "..." for me to follow) in the above web pages. As I understand it (and I could be very wrong), the solution relies on a MySQL query to determine which namespace should have inbox = yes -- the private namespace or the virtual namespace -- depending on if the user is an imap or pop3 user, respectively. Question 1: How would this be done on a user-by-user basis if the userdb is a passwd-file flat file? Would it be something like this? -- Userdb extra fields for IMAP User: userdb_namespace/inbox/inbox=yes -- Userdb extra fields for POP3 User: userdb_namespace/virtual/inbox=yes Question 2: If I want to allow any user to use either POP3 or IMAP, then could I do it this way? protocol imap { namespace inbox { inbox = yes } } protocol pop3 { namespace virtual { inbox = yes } } Thanks, Michael

Dovecot cannot find mailboxes
by C. Andrews Lavarre 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

Edgar, thank you for your help: I have solved gaining access from a client (Evolution) via IMAP to the server: I can refresh, add folders, and delete folders. But I am still confounded, as IMAP does not see any mailboxes. Neither we from the command line (telnet, openssl, login, select) nor the system can find the mailbox, despite following FindMailLocation: telnet, openssl, login, then b select inbox * 0 EXISTS * 0 RECENT and postfix fails with 2016-07-23T21:22:37.312039-04:00 lavarre postfix/error[17088]: A8DA2C1BB2: to=<andy(a)privustech.com>, orig_to=<andy>, relay But the mailboxes do exist in /var/mail/vhosts/privustech.com/andy and we point to them in /etc/dovecot/users. doveconf -n is attached. ----- Two issues are: 1. file permissions and ownership 2. virtual versus system users 1. It appears that having the correct ownership and permissions on various files is critical (of course), but those parameters must also be included in the interior of the /etc/dovecot/user. So if you change permissions you also must change that file. For example, you said: i also noticed your certificate chain is broken. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/testinstallation I worked through this link, thank you. Changing permissions for the directories /var/mail/* to root:mail ($UID:$GID = 1000:12) and then changing /etc/dovecot/users correspondingly to user(a)privustech.com :{plain}actualpassword: 1000:12 ::/var/mail/vhosts/privustech.com/user now allows a normal login. and we can create a new folder (e.g., work) and delete it. However, this is at variance with http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall which says to set the ownership to vmail:vmail ($UID:$GID = 100: 5000). Doing so breaks dovecot. 2. The various links suggest that having virtual users is preferable to setting system users. The former do not require directories under /homebut they do require a directory in the mail system, which I have provided under /var/mail/vhosts. It also turns out that for virtual users you must include the domain (andy(a)privustech.com) Making that change allowed the success reported above. But despite that, we still cannot find the mailboxes on login. Any thoughts on how to have IMAP find the mailboxes (beyond FindMailLocation, which doesn't seem to work for me) would be most appreciated. Kind regards, Andy

postconf -n display error for "remote"?
by Michael Fox 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

Is this a bug? I configured the following: remote 192.168.7.128/27 { ssl = no } remote 192.168.7.0/24 { ssl = yes } But, when I run doveconf -n, I see: remote 192.168.7.0/24/24 { ssl = yes } remote 192.168.7.128/27/27 { ssl = no } Note the repeated network prefix length (/27/27 and /24/24). Is there a way to tell for sure whether this is just a cosmetic issue or something that could cause a problem? Michael

Cannot connect to Dovecot IMAP or POP
by C. Andrews Lavarre 24 Jul '16

24 Jul '16

Hello all. Thank you for your service. Easy when you know how, but presently I do not. After literally months of research and experimentation we simply cannot log into our PAM / apache2 / postfix / dovecot pop3/imap STARTTLS email server with an ordinary email client, e.g., Evolution or Thunderbird. We can connect to the host server in a host of different ways (no pun intended)—http, https, ssh, vnc, telnet, openssl -sclient Similarly we can connect to postfix and dovecot in yet another number of ways—telnet, openssl -sclient—but cannot log in to the email server with a normal email client (either Evolution or Thunderbird) by either pop3 or imap. SSL certificates are in place, verified, and tested. Part of the problem is the many changes in all the involved operating systems and protocols (e.g., imaps and pop3s are deprecated, openSUSE has migrated to LEAP, etc.) so many of the docs from Google are no longer valid. Additionally, there simply are bugs: Leap 42.1 YAST does not work when it comes to setting up websites. Documented. But I digress. I'm sure it's something really simple, but it evades me. Research details below. Any help would be more than appreciated. Thanks in advance, Andy ======================= Configuration testing details ======================= System is: Linux openSUSE Leap 42.1 Dovecot --version 2.2.18, Postfix Version: 2.11.6-3.1 Apache2 Version: 2.4.16-9.1 Connections 1.

Note, there are no Dovecot users established other than user postfix group postfix service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = postfix user = postfix } } i. postfix has its own set of users, including andy, which works just fine within postfix. We can send mail and read mail in the mailbox. b. Authentication is performed by PAM: passdb { driver = pam } i. Examined PAM: A. The files /etc/pam.d/xxx, where xxx = dovecot, pop, imap, are all the same lavarre:~ # cat /etc/pam.d/xxx #%PAM-1.0 auth include common-auth account include common-account password include common-password session include common-session B. They do not resemble at all the form presented in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/PAM passdb { driver = pam args = %s } C. Add (B.) to see if that works: No change. Comment out the original (A.): No change. Restore it. c.

And we point to them in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf as seen in the above. 6. Checked listening as it does not appear in doveconf -n: lavarre:~ # doveconf protocols listen protocols = imap pop3 lmtp listen = *, :: a. conf.d/10-master.conf ports for service xxx-login {inet_listener} are commented out. In fact, the entire file is commented out. Uncomment the listeners, restart. But no change. So undo.

Managesieve problem
by Joseph Mays 23 Jul '16

23 Jul '16

Trying to get either avelsieve or server side filters to work with managesieve. Managesieve is running but whenever avelsieve or the server settings backend try to talk to it the same thing happens. So I guess it's really a problem with something about managesieve at this point. I hit the Message Filters option, it takes a long time for it to come back, though it finally just times out and does nothing, and immediately when I click on the Message Filters link the following two messages appear in /var/log/dovecot.... 2016-07-18 17:03:02 managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=108(<getpwuid() error>) egid=65534(<getgrgid() error>) missing +x perm: /, dir owned by 0:111 mode=0750) 2016-07-18 17:03:02 managesieve-login: Error: auth: connect(login) in directory / failed: Permission denied (euid=108(<getpwuid() error>) egid=65534(<getgrgid() error>) missing +x perm: /, dir owned by 0:111 mode=0750) Seems to be straightforwardly a permissions error on a directory, but I don't believe it's really the / directory, so which directory is it? Any insights on where to look would be appreciated.

And now I have a new task: I also need Postfix to authenticate OpenLDAP-users using SASL on smtps-port 465. I need it for using on mobile devices, which don't support StartTLS. So I have configured smtps in Postfix: smtps inet n - y - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_enforce_tls=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_sasl_type=dovecot -o smtpd_sasl_path=private/auth -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination -o smtpd_helo_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject While trying to connect to smtps, clients get an error: "Client didn't present valid SSL certificate", and this is clear. The question is: how to configure an additional auth-service in dovecot, which doesn't require private certificates and authenticates users using login/password?

Suggested improvement for antispam plugin documentation
by Ralph Seichter 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hello, I struggled a bit with getting the antispam plugin to work, because the plugin configuration in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Antispam is incomplete. After some twiddling, I ended up with this: # /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf plugin { antispam_backend = mailtrain antispam_mail_spam = spam antispam_mail_notspam = ham antispam_mail_sendmail = /path/to/mailtrain/script antispam_spam = Junk;Spam antispam_trash = Deleted Messages;Trash } I know that the antispam plugin has not yet been officially released, but I think it might be worth updating the documentation anyway. Your thoughts? -Ralph

an e-mail client for dovecot ?
by Spyros Tsiolis 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Hello all, For some years now, I've been using Thunderbird for dovecot. I am not very satisfied with t/b so I thought of using m/s outlook but then I thought that I want to distance my clients from office products. I have a newly created dovecot installation on a very small site. Three nodes, all x86 Windows 7 professional with an ubuntu v14.04 server (x86 again) running dovecot 1.2.17. The clients there use dovecot as an imap server, so they have a real-world e-mail account each and whatever they want to keep , they store by gradding-and-dropping to the imap (local / archive) account. Since I have quite some experiece with thunderbird, I know most of its shortcomings; So I thought if there's an alternative (better?) imap mail client for x86 windows 7 systems than t/b. Even better if there's an alternative client that is also supporeted under linux . Any ideas are welcome, TIA, s.t.

Absolute path in SUBSCRIPTIONS
by Miloslav Hůla 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello, I'm using following two namespaces with Dovecot 2.2.13-12~deb8u1: namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = INBOX. # the previous Cyrus compatibility separator = . subscriptions = yes type = private ... } namespace { inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/vmail/user/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/Shared/%%n prefix = user.%%n. separator = . subscriptions = yes type = shared } For the shared namespace, the subscriptions are stored globally in '/vmail/user/%%n/Maildir/subscribtions' which is bad for me. I would like too keep subscriptions per user. I cannot set 'subscriptions = no' because I have no parent namespace. And when I set :SUBSCRIPTIONS=/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared it does not work (absolute path does not work) and it creates file in: /vmail/user/%%n/Maildir/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared instead of /vmail/user/%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared I found, that relative path hack works: :SUBSCRIPTIONS=../../%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared but I'm not sure it is the legitimate solution. Are there other options? Kind regards, Milo

Panic when runing "doveadm mailbox status ... vsize"
by Mark Costlow 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

I'm using dovecot 2.2.24 on FreeBSD 10.3. I'm working on converting users from maildir to mdbox, for the usual reasons. I have converted some test users and they generally work fine. But when I run "doveadm mailbox status" I get a Panic if I ask for the vsize field (or "all"), but other fields work fine. For example: # doveadm mailbox status -u bubbacheex3 "messages" INBOX INBOX messages=53 # doveadm mailbox status -u bubbacheex3 "guid" INBOX INBOX guid=bf976912f3748957761d0100f906a3d0 # doveadm mailbox status -u bubbacheex3 "unseen" INBOX INBOX unseen=52 # doveadm mailbox status -u bubbacheex3 "vsize" INBOX doveadm(bubbacheex3): Panic: file file-lock.c: line 269: unreached Abort trap I've only converted a few users, but they all exhibit this problem. I converted them with: dsync -u bubbacheex3 mirror maildir:/var/tmp/bubbacheex3 I have done a force-resync, which succeeds but doesn't change the behavior. I spent a little time trying to get gdb running but didn't get very far (couldn't seem to get it to find the source files once I got a few levels deep in the call stack). Before I beat my head on the gdb issue more, I thought I'd check here to see if anyone has any ideas. I didn't turn up anything in google or searching this list.

Virtual mailboxes
by Lefteris Tsintjelis 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

I have been banging my head to the walls for the past couple of days to make virtual mailboxes work and I finally found the problem. It seems when prefetch is used the user_query is not working at all. However, I have not found any reference to this one. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual I have tried to add the SQL statements to the password_query with prefetch but it did not work. It seems that it only works with prefetch off.

dovecot --version tarball
by Leon Kyneur 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

Hi, Trying to understand what the version numbers mean. I typically build from the stable tarball and then apply patches as needed.. however since 2.2.25 this hasn't been working (not sure if it worked before or never really looked closely TBH). http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.25.tar.gz - shows GITID 7be1766 however it has commits / changes newer than this. Also the github tag for 2.2.25 is c1527e5 which doesn't match the source tarball as well. Should the source tarball and git commit hash be related? Thanks Leon

Moving Maildir folders
by Mark Foley 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Our office had a user leave. Another user is taking over her duties and needs reference to the departing user's email. I've copied that entire departed user's Maildir structure to the current user: mv olduser/Maildir/.* curuser/Maildir/.olduser I did change permission and ownership on curuser/Maildir/.olduser to be the target user. I did not bring over the olduser/Maildir/dovecot* files (indexes, subscriptions, etc.) as I thought that would be bad. Nevertheless, the curuser cannot see this new olduser folder (which should be at the same level as Inbox, Junk Mail, etc.). I did manually add olduser to the curuser/Maildir/subscriptions file, but still nothing. So, what did I do wrong and how do I fix it? THX -- Mark

doveconf -n display error for "remote"
by Michael Fox 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Upon further testing, it seems that the issue below may only be a display bug in doveconf. In other words, the remote filter appears to work as configured, even though it is displayed with duplicate prefix length by doveconf. Is this sufficient information to report a bug or is there some other protocol? Michael ------------------------------------------- Dovecot --version: 2.2.9 I configured the following in local.conf: remote 192.168.7.128/27 { ssl = no } remote 192.168.7.0/24 { ssl = yes } But, when I run doveconf -n, I see: remote 192.168.7.0/24/24 { ssl = yes } remote 192.168.7.128/27/27 { ssl = no } Note the repeated network prefix length (/27/27 and /24/24).

controlling STARTTLS by IP address
by Michael Fox 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

On my POP3 server, I need to be able to control the use of STARTTLS by client IP address. Specifically: * Clients on certain internal subnets (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24) must not have the option to use TLS. If the client tries to use STARTTLS, the option should be rejected. This is to satisfy US FCC rules regarding the use of encryption over certain radio frequencies. * All other internal clients (e.g., 192.168.0.0/16, but not 192.168.1.0/24) should be able to use STARTTLS if they choose to. * All external clients (0.0.0.0/0) will be required to use TLS. Is there a way to control which clients are allowed to use STARTTLS according to the client's IP address? Thanks, Michael

authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server
by Zhang Huangbin 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

Dear all, I got error "authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server", i turned on debug mode in Postfix/Dovecot, but this is the error i can get. All other errors point to sasl auth failure, what does "connection lost to authentication server" means? How can i exactly know what the problem is and how to fix it? Here's my Dovecot/Postfix configuration, with Active Directory integration. - dovecot.conf: http://pastebin.com/7T05kvmH - dovecot-ldap.conf: http://pastebin.com/DtkAg01v - Postfix main.cf: http://pastebin.com/Z9Wihmvr Dovecot/Postfix and AD are running in the same network (192.168.10.X), no firewall between them. Thanks for your help. :)

by Joseph Tam 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

I received a bunch of these log messages at a rate of a few thousand per hour for one of my users -- she may have max'd out her quota. The directory is a NFS directory containing mbox formatted INBOX's. Other than alleviating the space crunch, is there any particular action I need to take? Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

quota config - when is the warning messag send?
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 14 Jul '16

14 Jul '16

Hi, we run dovecot 2.2.24 and from what I see, quota management with warning message is configured currently with "noenforcing". Our individual quota limit is stored in the users ldap DN which is fetched as I see from the logs and by "doveadm quota get -u" I tried to trigger the warning mail by going over the limit on my account step by step and can see that values are counted with the command above and in thunderbird by showing the orange and than red warning symbol at the bottom for me. But the warning mail script is not triggert. How may I debug this? from 90-quota.conf: service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh user = vmail # dovecot unix_listener quota-warning { user = vmail } } /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh is owned currently by vmail and executable by vmail. Thanks for feedback and suggestion . /Götz

Pigeonhole vs dovecot gssapi option
by Larry Rosenman 13 Jul '16

Stephan, Is there a reason you don't pick up the dovecot-config file to set additional libraries like the Kerberos libs? I'm the FreeBSD Ports Maintainer for pigeonhole, and a user filed a PR about missing the krb5 libs.

passdb {driver = shadow args = override_username=%variable}
by UNIX admin 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Hello list I want to implement override_username = %variable for the "shadow" driver, so that the following works: passdb { driver = shadow args = override_username=%Ln } by "%variable", I mean "Variables" at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables. I've hacked up a solution with strtok(3C), but that's a hack and a possible security hole, and I'd rather not implement it. What I really want is to be able to leverage Dovecot's var_expand() call, which, looking at the code, appears to be the function responsible for %variable expansion and formatting. The relevant piece of code seems to be this excerpt in auth/passdb-shadow.c: static enum passdb_result shadow_lookup(struct auth_request *request, struct spwd **spw_r) { auth_request_log_debug(request, AUTH_SUBSYS_DB, "lookup"); *spw_r = getspnam(request->user); if (*spw_r == NULL) { auth_request_log_unknown_user(request, AUTH_SUBSYS_DB); return PASSDB_RESULT_USER_UNKNOWN; } when request->user contains 'user(a)domain.tld', I want the code to be able to process "override_username", determine that the format is %Ln so that request->user is lowercased, and everything after the "@" sign is stripped. Therefore, if this user happens to exist in the shadow file, authentication will succeed. Currently, the "shadow" driver only appears to support "args = blocking=no". Please advise.

dovecot master password without "auth_master_user_separator"
by Miguel C 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

Looking at the doc its sugest we can either use auth_master_user_separator to login with a master user (i.e user(a)email.com*master and the master password defined in a file or db) I'm able to use this method with a password file and works just fine, however we need to sync some imap users to another destrination that does not allow us to use this format in the "email address source" (shame) But the doc also sugests if I don't use this flag I should be able to just use the same login used in the SASL mecahnisms which is not working (testing with plain text ). Is there anything more to this? I have tried to add a username to the password file with the same master password but still doens't work :| What am I missing?

Feature Request
by Doug Hardie 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

I would like to request an additional optional argument for queue-id to dovecot-lda. The intended use for this argument is to include in the logging. From what I can tell, the queue-id size is not consistent between the various MTAs and so would need to be allocated dynamically when read during initialization. This element in the log messages would make it easier to find the trace of a received email. Generally I can easily get the queue-id generated by postfix (or sendmail - I use both). One grep would then give me the whole picture rather than having to dig out the message-id and doing a secondary grep to obtain the lda log messages. — Doug I find it interesting that every submission to this list results in a quick response that says moderation is required since I "am not a member". However, I am a member...

is it possible to run a post-login script in a dovecot proxy with local auth?
by Luca Lesinigo 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

We’re using dovecot v2.2.22, authenticating on a local database (passdb with sql driver), and then proxying the connections to the backend server returned by passdb (proxy=y and backend in “host” column). To support some legacy clients we should keep POP/IMAP-before-SMTP running for some time, but right know I don’t know how to hook up a successful authentication in the dovecot proxy. I did read from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting: “...it's not currently possible to run post-login scripts in proxies, because they're not actually logging in to the local Dovecot” Does that also holds true even if the proxy is authenticating users locally before proxying them? Failing that, any idea on how to get successful logins, other than parsing the log file? thank you, -- Luca Lesinigo

I don't grok autotools, but I don't think this will solve the problem. If I understand the patch correctly, it modifies the small program used by configure to test a C99 feature. Manually compiling the small test program (with and without the changes made by the patch) will result in a successful compile, but if you compile sha1.h (line 80,81), it will fail. I've reduced the problem to this: void foo(int X[static 20]); will compile but if you remove "X", it won't. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

question discribe: example: > vim .dovecot.sieve require ["fileinto"]; # rule:[filter1] if anyof (header :contains "Subject" "测试邮件") { fileinto "sieve"; } when i write a mail ,give subject "这是一封测试邮件" , then server convert this subject to " SUBJECT: =?UTF-8?Q?=E8=BF=99=E6=98=AF=E4=B8=80=E5=B0=81=E6=B5=8B=E8=AF=95=E9=82=AE?= =?UTF-8?Q?=E4=BB=B6?= " the essential question is when the mail go through dovecot-sieve plugin, the sieve plugin get mail subject is "这是一封测试邮件" not "这是一封测试邮件"，there is a extra space added(which as segmentation between "=?UTF-8?Q?"). SIMPLY SAY：edit subject"这是一封测试邮件" ——>server convert "SUBJECT: =?UTF-8?Q?=E8=BF=99=E6=98=AF=E4=B8=80=E5=B0=81=E6=B5=8B=E8=AF=95=E9=82=AE?= =?UTF-8?Q?=E4=BB=B6?="——>sieve plugin get "这是一封测试邮件" The result is filter failure. is this a bug ?

Dovecot threading implementation
by Gabriele Bulfon 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hi, I was trying to compare avrious thread refs/references implementation, both server side and client side. While testing dovecot, it looks to me that issuing thread=references or thread=refs I get the same response, while the refs drafts says it should reverse the date ordering inside a branch. Is this correct? Does Dovecot implements references and refs with same sorting? Also, cyrus has subject grouping included in references (which is bad!). What's dovecot doing in references alg? Thanks for any help, Gabriele ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sonicle S.r.l. : http://www.sonicle.com Music: http://www.gabrielebulfon.com Quantum Mechanics : http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/gabrielebulfon

Deletion of mail from Junk mailbox
by Doug Hardie 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

I have a pigeon sive running which directs some of my received mail to the Junk folder. That works just fine. However, a couple minutes later, it is moved to Deleted mailbox and deleted from Junk. At first I thought my client was doing that so I shut down the client and it still happens. Here are the log entries: Jul 2 00:36:31 mail dovecot: imap(doug): copy from INBOX: box=Junk, uid=10842, msgid=<F3C67E609C1A1BC4DB924CEA5FE12C76@ze>, size=3340, from="jnilj" <hr(a)bjwmt.com> Jul 2 00:36:31 mail dovecot: imap(doug): delete: box=INBOX, uid=55719, msgid=<F3C67E609C1A1BC4DB924CEA5FE12C76@ze>, size=3340, from="jnilj" <hr(a)bjwmt.com> Jul 2 00:39:33 mail dovecot: imap(doug): copy from Junk: box=Deleted Messages, uid=31049, msgid=<F3C67E609C1A1BC4DB924CEA5FE12C76@ze>, size=3340, from="jnilj" <hr(a)bjwmt.com> Jul 2 00:39:33 mail dovecot: imap(doug): delete: box=Junk, uid=10842, msgid=<F3C67E609C1A1BC4DB924CEA5FE12C76@ze>, size=3340, from="jnilj" <hr(a)bjwmt.com> Jul 2 00:50:29 mail dovecot: imap(doug): expunge: box=Junk, uid=10842, msgid=<F3C67E609C1A1BC4DB924CEA5FE12C76@ze>, size=3340, from="jnilj" <hr(a)bjwmt.com> Jul 2 00:50:29 mail dovecot: imap(doug): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=55719, msgid=<F3C67E609C1A1BC4DB924CEA5FE12C76@ze>, size=3340, from="jnilj" <hr(a)bjwmt.com> Is this the intended way the Junk maibox is supposed to work? I couldn't find any settings that appear to control (or affect) this behavior. — Doug

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.15 for Dovecot v2.2.25.
by Stephan Bosch 08 Jul '16

08 Jul '16

Hello Dovecot users, I have completed the final release. I found a few more problems while testing this release, so a few more fixes are included. I also added a behavioral change to the vacation extension. Changelog v0.4.15: * vacation extension: The sieve_user_email setting is now used in the check for implicit delivery. - imapsieve plugin: For any mail transaction, the mailbox was opened a second time, even if no mailbox rule matched. This was unintentional, useless and caused problems when the imapsieve plugin was used with other plugins like acl. - extprograms plugin: Significantly improved error handling. No stream errors were logged. - extprograms plugin: Fixed bug in handling of result code from remote program (script service). - extprograms plugin: Connection to remote program service was not retried. - Several small fixes based on static analysis. - Fixed handling of quoted string localparts in email addresses. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.15.ta… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.15.ta… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

LDA autocreate/autosubscribe per namespace?
by Andreas Ntaflos 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Using Dovecot 2.2.25 and Pigeonhole 0.4.14. I can provide the output of doveconf -n if needed. We use a moderately clever global Sieve script to create a read-only (using ACLs) backup/archive of all incoming and outgoing mails. Mail messages filtered this way are filed into folders in a namespace called "Backup", e.g. Backup/sent-backup/${year}/${month} and Backup/received-backup/${year}/${month}. The Sieve script in question can be found at the end of this message for reference. Now obviously we generally want mailboxes to be created automatically, so we set lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes in dovecot.conf. We also want regular mailboxes, created by our users' own Sieve scripts, to be autocreated and autosubscribed, so we also set lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes in dovecot.conf. But we *don't* want the Backup mailboxes to be subscribed automatically, because our users usually only need access to those when they want to restore messages accidentally deleted from their INBOX or other folders. So the idea is to keep these Backup mailboxes unsubscribed, which also saves lots of space and network traffic on the user side. When a user then wants to restore a deleted mail message they subscribe to the right Backup folder and copy the message back to their INBOX (and then unsubscribe again). Is there a way to control autocreate/autosubscribe per namespace? Currently it doesn't look that way, and lda_mailbox_autocreate/lda_mailbox_autosubscribe are valid globally. The "Backup" namespace is configured this way: namespace backup { hidden = no list = yes inbox = no location = maildir:~/Maildir-backup prefix = Backup/ separator = / type = private } This is the Sieve script in /etc/dovecot/sieve.d/before/002-backup-mails.sieve: require ["subaddress", "fileinto", "copy", "envelope", "imap4flags", "variables", "date", "mailbox" ]; if currentdate :matches "year" "*" { set "year" "${1}"; } if currentdate :matches "month" "*" { set "month" "${1}"; } # This makes use of sender_bcc_maps in Postfix if envelope :detail "to" "sent-backup" { fileinto :flags "\\Seen" "Backup/sent-backup/${year}/${month}"; stop; } # We only want to backup incoming mail if it is not marked as spam. if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" ["YES"] { discard; stop; } else { fileinto :copy :flags "\\Seen" "Backup/received-backup/${year}/${month}"; } Thanks, Andreas

duplicated mail in users inbox only
by Tom Priebe 07 Jul '16

07 Jul '16

Hello, one of my users has the issue that some mails seem to get doubled -- but only in their inbox. The mail is bcc'd to them and the original recipient receives one copy as intended. The log shows nothing extraordinary, postfix, dovecot and sieve are certain that they received and delivered one single mail (per user). Further research showed that the doubled mails' mailbox files have the same inode, which seems inexplicable. I'm using dovecot 2.2.13 replicated over two servers (Master-Master). Duplication seems to happen regardless of the receiving server, yet still not all mails they receive with them in bcc are duplicated.

Please keep replies on-list. If you removed the compiler flag, how can you get error about compiler flag? Perhaps you need to contact package maintainer?

Configure Dovecot for GSSAPI [formerly: Looking for GSSAPI config]
by Mark Foley 06 Jul '16

06 Jul '16

After a over a year and a half struggling to get Dovecot to do either NTLM or GSSAPI authentication with Samba4 AD/DC, I believe I've finally got it! Thanks to all those in this list who helped: Jan Jurkus, Edgar Pettijohn, Gregory Sloop, Tom Talpey especially Aki Tuomi; and infinite thanks to Achim Gottinger on the SambaList for his patience in working this through with me. Although my purpose was for Dovecot to authenticate mail clients, the configuration settings needed were on the Samba side. I hope a variation of these instructions can eventually make it into: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Kerberos What is essentially missing from the wiki is how to set up the proper Service Principal Names and the subsequent creation of a dovecot useable kerberos keytab file. The wiki comment on "k5principals passdb" was not helpful and largely unintelligble to me. Perhaps like many of you, I have switched from Microsoft SBS and Exchange to Samaba4 and Dovecot/IMAP. The transition was completely transparent to my users, except they needed a separate password for email authentication in the absence of NTLM or GSSAPI working with Dovecot. A mild inconvenience, but I have been on a "quest" to fill that gap. This solution finally takes care of that last piece. The following describes how to create the SPNs and krb5 keytab files using Samba4 which has its own built-in (Heimdal) kerberos. The procedures are probably similar for other facilities such as setspn for Windows, but I've not used those so I won't attempt to discuss those mechanism here. You do need kerberos as the Samba built-in kerberos does not have needed commands like `klist`. My distro (Slackware 14.1) does not come with kerberos (nor, I think, does Ubuntu), but is easily found at: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.1/network/krb5/ Ubuntu/Debian: apt-get install krb5-config libpam-krb5 krb5-user ssh-krb5 (perhaps more) After provisioning Samba4, copy the krb5.conf template to /etc/krb5.conf. (Note: the actual docs advise symlinking: ln -sf /usr/local/samba/private/krb5.conf /etc/krb5.conf but I prefer making a copy in case I need to modify things). I've set The /etc/krb5.conf file to world readable. It's default contents are (and these do not need to be changed): [libdefaults] default_realm = HPRS.LOCAL dns_lookup_realm = false dns_lookup_kdc = true where HPRS.LOCAL is my realm, of course use your own. Now, we need a samba user in order to create the necessary SPNs (Server Principal Names): $ samba-tool user create dovecot New Password: Retype Password: User 'dovecot' created successfully Next, add the SPN(s), and create the keytab: $ samba-tool spn add imap/mail.hprs.local dovecot $ samba-tool domain exportkeytab --principal imap/mail.hprs.local /etc/dovecot/dovecot.keytab Dovecot does not do my (outgoing) SMTP serving, only (incoming) IMAP, but if it did I'd have to create another SPN for smtp: $ samba-tool spn add smtp/mail.hprs.local dovecot $ samba-tool domain exportkeytab --principal smtp/mail.hprs.local /etc/dovecot/dovecot.keytab Dovecot needs to be able to read the keytab file: $ chgrp dovecot /etc/dovecot/dovecot.keytab $ chmod g+r /etc/dovecot/dovecot.keytab my new keytab: $ klist -Kek /etc/dovecot/dovecot.keytab Keytab name: FILE:/etc/dovecot/dovecot.keytab KVNO Principal ---- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 imap/mail.hprs.local(a)HPRS.LOCAL (des-cbc-crc) (0x232616c2a4fd08f7) 1 imap/mail.hprs.local(a)HPRS.LOCAL (des-cbc-md5) (0x232616c2a4fd08f7) 1 imap/mail.hprs.local(a)HPRS.LOCAL (arcfour-hmac) (0x9dae89a221dc374a39f560833352f60f) (and if I also created the spn for smtp I would also have these:) 1 smtp/mail.hprs.local(a)HPRS.LOCAL (des-cbc-crc) (0x232616c2a4fd08f7) 1 smtp/mail.hprs.local(a)HPRS.LOCAL (des-cbc-md5) (0x232616c2a4fd08f7) 1 smtp/mail.hprs.local(a)HPRS.LOCAL (arcfour-hmac) (0x9dae89a221dc374a39f560833352f60f) DOVECOT SETTINGS: My version: 2.2.15 Of crucial importance is to build dovecot with GSSAPI! That is NOT one of the default settings. In the dovecot build directory: ./configure --with-gssapi=yes Other than that serious build gotcha, settings are pretty simple. Add the following 3 settings to 10-auth.conf: auth_gssapi_hostname = "$ALL" auth_krb5_keytab = /etc/dovecot/dovecot.keytab auth_mechanisms = plain login gssapi The auth_gssapi_hostname is supposedly not required according to some of the above-listed commentors, but my 10-auth.conf template implies differently, so it can't hurt. gssapi does not require a passdb. Use whatever userdb you want. The dovecot wiki doc has some suggestions, not of which I've tried. I use the 'driver = passwd' for my userdb for unrelated reasons. I couldn't get any of this working until I rebooted the Samba AD/DC-Dovecot server, but that just may have been me not stopping/starting Samba and Dovecot in the right sequence (or, everything happened to start working with a concurrent upgrade to Samba 4.2!). In my WIN7 and Ubuntu Thunderbird clients I selected gssapi/kerberos for the IMAP authenticate method and it works! I've even changed the test user's AD password, just to make sure. Someone please put at least the required info on creating the SPNs and krb keytab file for other poor schmucks like me. Now, if I can get NTLM figured out for the remaining Outlook users ... ! --Mark

duplicate Mails with dsync replication
by Dennis Kuhn 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hi! We have some strange replication issues. Some mails are duplicated when expunged. This bug is quite hard to reproduce, it just happens occasionally. It seems somehow related to sieve. When i deleted the sieve script i could not reproduce this behavior. Here are some logs, mjm-100010(a)mydomain.com is an alias for mjm(a)mydomain.com: # Master Jun 23 00:51:41 dobby4 dovecot: lmtp(mjm-100010(a)mydomain.com): copy from <lmtp DATA>: box=INBOX, uid=7816, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 00:51:41 dobby4 dovecot: lmtp(mjm-100010(a)mydomain.com): 4N23HaMVa1fpmQEAJEBNLA: sieve: msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Jun 23 04:52:57 dobby4 dovecot: pop3(mjm(a)mydomain.com): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=7816, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 04:52:57 dobby4 dovecot: dsync-local(mjm(a)mydomain.com): save: box=INBOX, uid=7817, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 04:55:21 dobby4 dovecot: pop3(mjm(a)mydomain.com): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=7817, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 # Replica Jun 23 00:51:42 dobby5 dovecot: dsync-server(mjm-100010(a)mydomain.com): save: box=INBOX, uid=7816, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 04:52:57 dobby5 dovecot: dsync-server(mjm(a)mydomain.com): copy from INBOX: box=INBOX, uid=7817, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 04:52:57 dobby5 dovecot: dsync-server(mjm(a)mydomain.com): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=7816, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 04:55:22 dobby5 dovecot: dsync-server(mjm(a)mydomain.com): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=7817, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 The problem is the "dsync-server(mjm(a)mydomain.com): copy from INBOX: box=INBOX, uid=7817" on dobby5 at 04:52:57. This creates a new uid 7817 and the new mail is replicated back to dobby4. But i have no idea what triggers this copy. Any ideas? The dovecot version is 2.2.24. Thanks Dennis

many imap connections issue
by Бауыржан Сахариев 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

I'm using dovecot 2.1.7 I'm trying to connect to dovecot by imap via Java mail api. My approach described here <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37991025/why-iterating-over-all-java-mai…>. Bill Shannon, author of the Java Mail api recommended me to check carefully my server side (I have dovecot at server side). Actually, imap login in loop works but very slow. Each store.connect(login,password) takes about 1 minute. I tried to increase mail_max_userip_connections client_limit and process limit but it didn't help. My dovecot sometimes performs query, sometimes not! My logs: Jul 04 18:23:25 auth: Error: pgsql: Query failed, aborting: SELECT email, 'maildir:/home/mailboxes/maildir/'||maildir as mail,'/home/mailboxes/home/'||maildir as home, 500 as uid, 500 as gid FROM users WHERE email = 'test(a)test.domain.com' Jul 04 18:23:25 auth: Error: sql(test(a)test.domain.com,127.0.0.1,<HGiPY842jgB/AAAB>): User query failed: ERROR: permission denied for relation users My user and password queries: password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM users WHERE email = '%u' user_query = SELECT email as user, 'maildir:/home/mailboxes/maildir/'||maildir as mail, '/home/mailboxes/home/'||maildir as home, 500 as uid, 500 as gid FROM users WHERE email = '%u' My master conf *Please note, that I'm using same uid!* service imap-login { inet_listener imap { #port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { #port = 993 #ssl = yes } # Number of connections to handle before starting a new process. Typically # the only useful values are 0 (unlimited) or 1. 1 is more secure, but 0 # is faster. <doc/wiki/LoginProcess.txt> #service_count = 1 # Number of processes to always keep waiting for more connections. #process_min_avail = 0 # If you set service_count=0, you probably need to grow this. #vsz_limit = $default_vsz_limit } service imap { # Most of the memory goes to mmap()ing files. You may need to increase this # limit if you have huge mailboxes. #vsz_limit = $default_vsz_limit # Max. number of IMAP processes (connections) #process_limit = 1024 } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { #mode = 0666 #user = #group = } # Postfix smtp-auth #unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { # mode = 0666 #} # Auth process is run as this user. #user = $default_internal_user } service auth-worker { # Auth worker process is run as root by default, so that it can access # /etc/shadow. If this isn't necessary, the user should be changed to # $default_internal_user. #user = root } I'm sure that long login *reason is poor dovecot config* but some things are not clear to me and I can't improve it. 1. Which service are being used when Java connects to dovecot? imap-login,imap or auth? My assumption - imap-login. Imap user for dealing with folders *after* login, auth is for delivery (my assotioations here are postfix,lmtp,lda) =) Is my assumptions about imap-login and other services correct? 2. Which user are being used when I login? One that specified in connection code(one of 50K users in loop) or uid(500) user? I suggested that only one user and increased mail_max_userip_connections is it correct? 3. May some troubles in connection (which I showed above) caused by mode(0660) bad config in master.cf services? 4. Almost each loop iteration connects to dovecot in 60 seconds and rarely connects in a few milliseconds. Is that fact somehow connected with deafult_idle_kill which equlas to 1 mins?

v2.2.25 released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.25.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.25.tar.gz.sig Some minor fixes and (mainly logging) improvements since rc1. * lmtp: Start tracking lmtp_user_concurrency_limit and reject already at RCPT TO stage. This avoids MTA unnecessarily completing DATA only to get an error. * doveadm: Previously only mail settings were read from protocol doveadm { .. } section. Now all settings are. + quota: Added quota_over_flag_lazy_check setting. It avoids checking quota_over_flag always at startup. Instead it's checked only when quota is being read for some other purpose. + auth: Added a new auth policy service: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Policy + auth: Added PBKDF2 password scheme + auth: Added %{auth_user}, %{auth_username} and %{auth_domain} + auth: Added ":remove" suffix to extra field names to remove them. + auth: Added "delay_until=<timestamp>[+<max random secs>]" passdb extra field. The auth will wait until <timestamp> and optionally some randomness and then return success. + dict proxy: Added idle_msecs=<n> parameter. Support async operations. + Performance improvements for handling large mailboxes. + Added lib-dcrypt API for providing cryptographic functions. + Added "doveadm mailbox update" command + imap commands' output now includes timing spent on the "syncing" stage if it's larger than 0. + cassandra: Added metrics=<path> to connect setting to output internal statistics in JSON format every second to <path>. + doveadm mailbox delete: Added -e parameter to delete only empty mailboxes. Added --unsafe option to quickly delete a mailbox, bypassing lazy_expunge and quota plugins. + doveadm user & auth cache flush are now available via doveadm-server. + doveadm service stop <services> will stop specified services while leaving the rest of Dovecot running. + quota optimization: Avoid reading mail sizes for backends which don't need them (count, fs, dirsize) + Added mailbox { autoexpunge_max_mails=<n> } setting. + Added welcome plugin: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Welcome + fts: Added fts_autoindex_exclude setting. - v2.2.24's MIME parser was assert-crashing on mails having truncated MIME headers. - auth: With multiple userdbs the final success/failure result wasn't always correct. The last userdb's result was always used. - doveadm backup was sometimes deleting entire mailboxes unnecessarily. - doveadm: Command -parameters weren't being sent to doveadm-server. - If dovecot.index read failed e.g. because mmap() reached VSZ limit, an empty index could have been opened instead, corrupting the mailbox state. - imapc: Fixed EXPUNGE handling when imapc_features didn't have modseq. - lazy-expunge: Fixed a crash when copying failed. Various other fixes. - fts-lucene: Fixed crash on index rescan. - auth_stats=yes produced broken output - dict-ldap: Various fixes - dict-sql: NULL values crashed. Now they're treated as "not found".

For example: plugin { #acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes acl_shared_dict = file:/home/vmail/domain.com/shared-mailboxes2 #acl_lookup_dict = file:/home/vmail/domain.com/shared-mailboxes } Any suggestions?

Suggestions? Moving maildir to new storage and may be switch to mdbox
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hi, we got a new storage for our mails and now we think about the best way to use it. Currently about 1TB is stored in maildirs, some mail has been moved to client side local storage temporarily to get space on the old storage. I think of different options, some downtime in mind: a) stay with maildir and just rsync/move all mail to the new storage, mount the new storage at the old mountpoint (or may be new mountpoint and edit the dovecot config). b) "dsync backup" users maildir to mdboxes at a temp mountpoint and change the dovecot config afterwords. c) your suggestions or best practice Thanks for feedback .

v2.2.25 release candidate released
by Timo Sirainen 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.25.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.25.rc1.tar.gz.sig Quite a lot of changes. Please test out before the final v2.2.25 release, which I'm planning for tomorrow. Especially the new lib-dcrypt might have compiling problems with some OpenSSL versions. * lmtp: Start tracking lmtp_user_concurrency_limit and reject already at RCPT TO stage. This avoids MTA unnecessarily completing DATA only to get an error. * doveadm: Previously only mail settings were read from protocol doveadm { .. } section. Now all settings are. + quota: Added quota_over_flag_lazy_check setting. It avoids checking quota_over_flag always at startup. Instead it's checked only when quota is being read for some other purpose. + auth: Added a new auth policy service: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Policy + auth: Added PBKDF2 password scheme + auth: Added %{auth_user}, %{auth_username} and %{auth_domain} + auth: Added ":remove" suffix to extra field names to remove them. + auth: Added "delay_until=<timestamp>[+<max random secs>]" passdb extra field. The auth will wait until <timestamp> and optionally some randomness and then return success. + dict proxy: Added idle_msecs=<n> parameter. Support async operations. + Performance improvements for handling large mailboxes. + Added lib-dcrypt API for providing cryptographic functions. + Added "doveadm mailbox update" command + imap commands' output now includes timing spent on the "syncing" stage if it's larger than 0. + cassandra: Added metrics=<path> to connect setting to output internal statistics in JSON format every second to <path>. + doveadm mailbox delete: Added -e parameter to delete only empty mailboxes. Added --unsafe option to quickly delete a mailbox, bypassing lazy_expunge and quota plugins. + doveadm user & auth cache flush are now available via doveadm-server. + doveadm service stop <services> will stop specified services while leaving the rest of Dovecot running. + quota optimization: Avoid reading mail sizes for backends which don't need them (count, fs, dirsize) + Added mailbox { autoexpunge_max_mails=<n> } setting. + Added welcome plugin: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Welcome + fts: Added fts_autoindex_exclude setting. - v2.2.24's MIME parser was assert-crashing on mails having truncated MIME headers. - auth: With multiple userdbs the final success/failure result wasn't always correct. The last userdb's result was always used. - doveadm backup was sometimes deleting entire mailboxes unnecessarily. - doveadm: Command -parameters weren't being sent to doveadm-server. - If dovecot.index read failed e.g. because mmap() reached VSZ limit, an empty index could have been opened instead, corrupting the mailbox state. - imapc: Fixed EXPUNGE handling when imapc_features didn't have modseq. - lazy-expunge: Fixed a crash when copying failed. Various other fixes. - fts-lucene: Fixed crash on index rescan. - auth_stats=yes produced broken output - dict-ldap: Various fixes - dict-sql: NULL values crashed. Now they're treated as "not found".

Fwd: Re: Dictionary quota with Flat file database

Hello Aki, Finally I am using maildir as quota backend and it works! I set the second way like it was write here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Maildir With this method The quota can be personalized per user manually. I only have to create the file once for the new users. But I don't know if these following options in 90-quota.ext works again : quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_grace = 10%% I'm going to test that. Thanks a lot!

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.15.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.25.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hello Dovecot users, This upcoming release is all about bug fixes, of which only one is really important. It affects the new imapsieve plugin. Changelog v0.4.15: - imapsieve plugin: For any mail transaction, the mailbox was opened a second time, even if no mailbox rule matched. This was unintentional, useless and caused problems when the imapsieve plugin was used with other plugins like acl. - extprograms plugin: Significantly improved error handling. No stream errors were logged. - Several small fixes based on static analysis. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.15… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.15… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

quota-status service
by Michael Fox 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

I'm trying to understand the quota-status service, but I can't find complete documentation. The quota-status service is mentioned here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota And an example configuration is shown: service quota-status { executable = quota-status -p postfix inet_listener { port = 12340 # You can choose any port you want } client_limit = 1 } But I can't find any information on quota-status. "man quota-status" returns nothing. I am unable to find a "quota-status" file on my machine. Where is the executable located? What does the "-p postfix" option do? Are there any other command line options? The above wiki page shows three quota_status_* options in use: quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full" Where are their meanings documented? What are the allowed values? Are there other quota_status_* options? Thanks in advance. Thanks, Michael

quota_full_tempfail
by Felipe Gasper 30 Jun '16

Hi all, What specifically does this flag do? Does it affect what happens: -------------- - when the drive is full? - when the system user’s disk quota is full? - when the mailbox’s quota is full? -------------- Also, does it work with both LDA and LMTP? I don’t see much on this option in the docs. Thank you! -Felipe Gasper Houston, TX

Dictionary quota with Flat file database
by Sam 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Hello, I want specific quotas for certain users and I looking for doing that with dictionary quota backend and Flat file. Because I am using "active directory" with PAM for authenticate, I can't get per-user quota limits with set/override them by returning "quota_rule" extra field from userdb. I started reading http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict, saw some good stuff... The problem is that I don't understand how to set the limit in the users files. If I open one created file I only see the current number of messages and the actual size. Not the quota limits... vi /home/vmail/john.doe/Maildir/dovecot-quota : priv/quota/messages 13 priv/quota/storage 600201 Here is /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf file details : plugin { # I think I have to set the default limits here quota_rule = *:storage=10G:messages=10000 } ... plugin { quota = dict:user::file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota # same result with : # quota = dict:User::file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota } my server : CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 dovecot : dovecot-2.2.10-5.el7.x86_64 Thanks for helping.

Unread Mail flag being reset frequently with dovecot -git master-2.2
by Reuben Farrelly 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Hi again, I'm experiencing problems with the Dovecot git master-2.2 branch, in which mails that have been previously read are randomly appearing as unread. This happens slowly and affects more and more emails the more changes that occur to a mailbox. I am using Maildir format and on Gentoo Linux x86_64 on local disks. Usually only a few at a time change their status - and it seems to be random which ones lose their read status. Typically though they are the most recent emails that have been delivered in the past few months (I haven't yet seen this occur with any really old emails). This problem is MUA independent, it can be observed with Thunderbird as well as Roundcube. If I go in and mark all mails as read then they will show as read for a short while until they too slowly start become 'unread' again. Currently I'm running git rev from https://github.com/dovecot/core/commits/master-2.2 : f292589f4b85e02d97d974dfe34324c6c0bb9d9f (I can't run anything newer due to an SSL symbol error which I reported earlier). This rev: b1254dfe442639236f881afae85e0739520ab409 Is known to be good, so the problem started happening somewhere between these two. (I know there are a lot of in-between revisions, but bisecting that could take days of time). Dovecot config is up at: http://www.reub.net/files/dovecot/thunderstorm-dovecot.conf Rawlog debug files are at http://www.reub.net/files/dovecot/rawlogs/ Hopefully someone else may have seen this happen before. Are there any other debugs I can gather which will help get to the bottom of this? Reuben

Yes "dovecot purge" is certainly my mistake in the script but it really works completely analogous "doveadm purge" probably why I did not notice the difference before :) It looks like it just launches the doveadm in this case. Adding slashes after asterisks unfortunately they also adds to the variable and the script gives an error like "doveadm(user/(a)example.org/): Error: User doesn't exist" Thanks for the idea , I think it will be now more correctly : === #!/bin/sh cd /backup/MailRoot/dovecot/domains || exit 1 for i in * do if [ -d $i ]; then cd $i for j in * do if [ -d $j ]; then dovecot purge -u $j@$i fi done cd .. fi done === >Четверг, 30 июня 2016, 13:53 +03:00 от Alexander Moisseev <moiseev(a)mezonplus.ru>: > >On 30.06.16 12:51, Николай Мананков wrote: >> -----screenshot begin----- >> >> mail:/etc/cron.daily # cat ./dovepurge.sh >> #!/bin/sh >> >> cd /MailRoot/dovecot/domains >> >> for i in * >> do >> cd $i >> for j in *; do dovecot purge -u $j@$i; done >> cd .. >> done >> >> -----screenshot end ----- >> >It might be worth to add slashes after asterisks to process only directories. >Does "dovecot purge" actually work? > >-----screenshot begin----- > >#!/bin/sh > >cd /MailRoot/dovecot/domains || exit 1 > >for i in */ > do > cd $i > for j in */; do doveadm purge -u $j@$i; done > cd .. >done > >-----screenshot end ----- > >> It is strange that the daemon does not do this automatically, and even setting up autoexpunge option does not help.

[patch] Support redis AUTH
by Dave 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

A very minor patch to support redis AUTH (for all that's worth) using an extra password= field. I'm not sure if this will be of any value to anyone here. We're testing it in development and "it works for us" but it's yet to be used in anger. Sorry if I'm going about this the wrong way, I tried emailing this directly but heard nothing back; so I'm reposting to the list as I'm honestly not sure what established protocol is regarding code contribution. -- Dave

filtering ssl_cert
by Russell Stuart 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

In dovecot 1 I was able to do something like this: protocol imap { ssl_cert = cert-imap.pem ssl_key = key-imap.pem } local ww.xx.yy.zz { protocol imap { ssl_cert = cert-imap-ww.xx.yy.zz.pem ssl_key = key-imap-ww.xx.yy.zz.pem } } The intent is ww.xx.yy.zz is an externally routable IP address which has a Cert signed by a real CA, other addresses are internal which have a variety of domain names, signed by a self-signed cert. That worked in dovecot 1, but in dovecot 2 I get the error: "Conflict in setting ssl_cert found from filter". Weirdly, this works in dovecot 2: local 0.0.0.0/0 { ssl_cert = cert-imap.pem ssl_key = key-imap.pem } local ww.xx.yy.zz { ssl_cert = cert-imap-ww.xx.yy.zz.pem ssl_key = key-imap-ww.xx.yy.zz.pem } But this doesn't: local 0.0.0.0/0 { protocol imap { ssl_cert = cert-imap.pem ssl_key = key-imap.pem } } local ww.xx.yy.zz { protocol imap { ssl_cert = cert-imap-ww.xx.yy.zz.pem ssl_key = key-imap-ww.xx.yy.zz.pem } } It smells like a bug. Anyway, does anybody know of a way to port my config to dovecot 2?

[patch] Fix for returning NULL values in SQL dict lookups
by NederHost/Sebastiaan Hoogeveen 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Hi, I noticed a bug doing dict lookups on an SQLite database which had NULL values in its columns; a segmentation fault occurred, probably due to a null pointer dereference in str_tabescape. The problem is that sqlite3_column_text returns a null pointer for column values which are (SQL) NULL. It seems the other database drivers do something similar. The following patch makes the dict server check for null pointers and return a 'not found' reply in those cases (I changed the order around in the decision tree to avoid having to repeat return values): diff -Naur dovecot-2.2.24/src/dict/dict-commands.c dovecot-2.2.24-patched/src/dict/dict-commands.c --- dovecot-2.2.24/src/dict/dict-commands.c 2016-04-26 15:01:20.000000000 +0200 +++ dovecot-2.2.24-patched/src/dict/dict-commands.c 2016-05-11 22:04:06.000000000 +0200 @@ -83,14 +83,14 @@ { struct dict_connection_cmd *cmd = context; - if (result->ret > 0) { + if (result->ret > 0 && result->value) { cmd->reply = i_strdup_printf("%c%s\n", DICT_PROTOCOL_REPLY_OK, str_tabescape(result->value)); - } else if (result->ret == 0) { - cmd->reply = i_strdup_printf("%c\n", DICT_PROTOCOL_REPLY_NOTFOUND); - } else { + } else if (result->ret < 0) { i_error("%s", result->error); cmd->reply = i_strdup_printf("%c\n", DICT_PROTOCOL_REPLY_FAIL); + } else { + cmd->reply = i_strdup_printf("%c\n", DICT_PROTOCOL_REPLY_NOTFOUND); } dict_connection_cmds_flush(cmd->conn); } Kind regards, -- Sebastiaan Hoogeveen NederHost https://www.nederhost.nl/ KvK: 34099781

chroot: Error: Temp file creation to /tmp
by bvr 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Hello, We are using dovecot (2.2.10) and it's working great! When I enable chrooting by appending /./ to the homedirs I'm getting errors like this: mail1 dovecot[47074]: imap(user): Error: Temp file creation to /tmp/dovecot.imap.mail1.70079. failed: No such file or directory On the surface everything seems to be working fine and I have not been able to produce the error myself. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, bvr.

dsync unstable? (other strange detail)

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from Cyrus (remote side) to Dovecot 2.2.24 (local). On the local side the destinations folders, and indexes are empty. The command I'm using is doveadm \ -o mail_plugins= \ -o imapc_master_user=<cyrus-user> \ -o imapc_password=<cyrus-password> \ -o imapc_host=<cyrus-ip> \ \ -o imapc_ssl_verify=no \ -o imapc_ssl=imaps \ -o imapc_port=993 \ backup -f -u "heiko" -R imapc: \ || { rc=$? echo "EXIT: $rc" >&2 exit $rc } On successive runs of the above command I get: dsync(heiko): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Serververwaltung.Mailinglisten Anforderung': UID=16 GUID= is missing locally EXIT: 75 dsync(heiko): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Serververwaltung.Mailman': UID=2 GUID= is missing locally EXIT: 75 dsync(heiko): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Serververwaltung.Servermeldungen': UID=514 GUID= is missing locally EXIT: 75 dsync(heiko): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Serververwaltung.Servermeldungen.AIDE': UID=188292 GUID= is missing locally EXIT: 75 dsync(heiko): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Serververwaltung.Servermeldungen.AIDE.AIDE - 2012': UID=9343 GUID= is missing locally EXIT: 75 Any idea where to look next?

FTS search used / useful on an IMAP proxy?
by Luca Lesinigo 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

We are preparing an IMAP proxy based on dovecot-2.2.22, basic proxy functionality is already working and I’m trying to understand if having the FTS service configured on the dovecot *proxy* would be of any use. I do suspect it would be useless, I guess dovecot in imap proxy mode just forwards any command to the backend and does not bother to do anything about it, but I’m failing to find a definitive answer in the documentation. If I am guessing correctly, an fts service would only be useful if configured and working on the actual backend. Can anyone clarify my doubts? thank you, -- Luca Lesinigo

Disabling passdb pam in local.conf
by Patrick Ben Koetter 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Greetings, I'm trying to create a configuration that leaves every config file deployed by an install process or paket management software untouched. The goal is to put every configuration required into /etc/dovecot/local.conf. I've come quite far, but I fail to disable pam as passdb service in local.conf. What I get if I run doveconf -n is this section: passdb { driver = pam } It is in there, because 10-auth.conf includes it: !include auth-system.conf.ext These actions are not an option at the moment: - modify /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf and comment/remove the !include-statement - create an /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf which would contain all options required and would not include any other *.conf files Reading http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ConfigFile I see ways to include external files, but nothing to exclude a file in local.conf. Knowing Timo I would expect there is a way to acchieve what I want. I just don't seem to find it. What am I missing?

Suggestion: Split login_trusted_networks
by Peter Mogensen 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Hi, For the upcoming 2.3 development, I'd like to re-suggest this: It seems the use of login_trusted_networks is overloaded. Example: * It's used for indicating which hosts you trust to provide XCLIENT remote IP's. (like a proxy) * It's used for indicating from which hosts you trust logins enough to disable auth penalty. (like in a webmail) Often these two uses cases have a different set of hosts. So you can't have one set of hosts which you trust for XCLIENT and another set of hosts you trust for not being the origin of brute force attacks. /Peter

Where Dovecot stores subscribtions for shared folder
by Miloslav Hůla 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hi, could please someone hint me, where Dovecot stores subscribtions for shared folder? Our configuration: namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/vmail/user/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/Shared/%%n prefix = user.%%n. separator = . subscriptions = yes type = shared } When I subscribe to 'user.test', I'll get ~Maildir/Shared/test/.INBOX/dovecot.index.pvt.log in it. When I unsubscribe from 'user.test', file stays there and its hash is the same. Kind regards, Milo

doveadm purge -A includes users with gid outside of limits and then reports error
by Michal Hlavinka 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi, one our user reported that when he runs "doveadm purge -A" it goes through users that don't have gid in the first_valid_gid-last_valid_git range and it reports error. For example: doveadm(dovenull): Error: user dovenull: Mail access for users with GID 996 not permitted (see first_valid_gid in config file, gid from userdb lookup). doveadm(dovenull): Error: User init failed auth/userdb-passwd.c : passwd_iterate_want_pw(...) has checks for UID range, but does not have checks for GID range. Is there any reason for this? We've added those checks (see attached patch) and all seems fine. Cheers, Michal Hlavinka

Mailboxes on NFS or iSCSI
by Miloslav Hůla 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hello, we are running Dovecot (2.2.13-12~deb8u1) on Debian stable. Configured with Mailbox++, IMAP, POP3, LMTPD, Managesieved, ACL. Mailboxes are on local 1.2TB RAID, it's about 5310 accounts. We are slowly getting out of space and we are considering to move Mailboxes onto Netapp disk array with two independent network connections. Are there some pitfalls? Not sure we should use NTP or iSCSI mounts (both open implementations are not so shiny). Thanks for sharing any experiences. Kind regards, Milo

If set to "no", the parent # namespace handles them (empty prefix should always have this as "yes") #subscriptions = yes } I had to put this in dovecot.conf in order for the plugin to be enabled: mail_plugins = fts fts_solr solr is reachable at localhost:8880/solr and appears to be working. Please help, any suggestions are welcome Thanks

dsync is unstable?
by Heiko Schlittermann 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi, I'm doing a backup from a Cyrus to a Dovecot (2.2.24) instance. On the dovecot side (localhost) I'm running doveadm \ -o mail_plugins= \ -o imapc_master_user=cyrus \ -o imapc_password=<cyrus-passwd> \ -o imapc_host=<cyrus-ip> \ \ -o imapc_ssl_verify=no \ -o imapc_ssl=imaps \ -o imapc_port=993 \ backup -f -u "heiko" -R imapc: dsync(heiko): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Trash': UID=18290 already exists locally for a different mail: highest than remote's UIDs (remote UIDNEXT=19588) The destination (local system) does not change while running backup, the remote system (cyrus) can't be stopped while running this backup. Repeating the above command sometimes helps, sometimes not. Sometimes the names of the mailboxes dsync deletes change… Any idea how to stabilize it? I'm talking about cca 4500 mailboxes.

Postfix and Dovecot LDA vs. LMTP
by Michael Fox 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

I'm new to Dovecot and will be using it with Postfix. I'm looking for recommendations regarding the use of Dovecot's LDA or LMTP for virtual mailbox delivery. Many of the simple examples on the wiki use LDA. So I've set that up initially. But apparently an advantage of LMTP is recipient verification. So, as I understand it, LMTP would let Postfix know whether or not the message was deliverable to a local virtual recipient without needing to have a separate virtual recipients map in Postfix. That sounds like a nice simplification. But I see in Ubuntu that the dovecot-lmtp package is not marked with the Canonical support icon, like the pop, imap, and other packages are. I don't have a contract with Canonical. But I'm wondering why they would not support the lmtp package when they do support most of the others. Is it possible that the dovecot LMTP package is not as stable or reliable? I'd appreciate comments from experienced users of postfix with dovecot. Are you using Dovecot LDA or LMTP and why? Thanks much, Michael

Authentication Penalty with ID x-originating-ip, HAproxy
by Tobias 24 Jun '16

24 Jun '16

The wiki states that anvil's authentication penalties are skipped when IP is in login_trusted_networks. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Penalty Is there a way to enable the authentication penalties for specific advertised remote IPs, when the connecting IP is in "login_trusted_networks", and it advertises the originating remote IP via 'ID ("x-originating-ip", "<remote-ip>")'? And with regards to HAproxy, is anvil's authentication penalties by default transparent with regards to the remote IP advertised in the proxy protocol header? /Tobias

FW: error using default_fields in passwd-file

newbie userdb lookup problem
by Michael Fox 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

I'm new to Dovecot and I'm having trouble getting basic, flat file userdb lookups to work. This must have been asked before, but if so, I can't find it. I'm following the basic setup here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall with a few minor differences. Output of doveconf -n is below, as well as relevant entries from postfix main.cf and master.cf. When I send a message to a virtual user that will be handled by Dovecot, Postfix hands it off to Dovecot LDA. But I get the following error in the log: Jun 22 20:53:33 xxxxx dovecot: lda: Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +r perm: /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) /var/run/dovecot/ is indeed owned by root:root with 0755 permissions. The actual passwd file used for userdb/passdb is currently owned by root:vmail with 0640 permissions. I read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserIds but I just don't understand the section on "Authentication process user". It's very vague. It doesn't explain which service is used for which circumstances or how to correlate the userdb/passdb file permissions with the service user/group settings for best security. The http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall link mentions nothing about having to modify the auth or auth-worker services. And the http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/VirtualUserFlatFilesPostfix page mentions a new "doveauth" user which isn't described elsewhere and sets service auth to user postfix and group postfix, something not mentioned anywhere else. /etc/doveconf/10-master.conf says that the service auth socket is typically readable only by root. Uhm. OK. Well, my passwd file is owned by root. I don't know how that relates to the socket. So I don't understand the problem. Bottom line, each information source seems to say something completely different. I can't correlate the information in the above sources into any actionable result. Questions: Basically, can someone please explain how the permissions for userdb and passdb lookup work (i.e. file permissions vs. service permissions)? What's the best solution to solve the above problem permission problem in the most secure way? Adjust the config of service auth? If so, how and why? Or adjust my passwd file ownership? If so, how and why? I'm really trying to understand the why, not just the what. Thanks much.

Pluggable SNI?
by Felipe Gasper 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Hello, How feasible would it be to have a “pluggable” Dovecot setup that would permit arbitrary logic for fetching TLS/SNI certificates and key, rather than having to hard-code each domain’s resources in a configuration file? A couple scenarios that I envision such a framework being able to accommodate: 1) An internal TLS service that accepts queries via a UNIX socket by domain name and returns certificate/key. 2) A directory where these resources are stored, indexed by domain name. Thank you! -FG

Storage upgrade maildir suggestions?
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

Hi, we start to run out of diskspace soon as our users start to keep mails for longer time periods. That's fine, but space consuming. The maildirs are about 1 TB in total, and not long ago we enabled zlib which is very nice. Now I have some thoughts about the next steps: a) Migrating the whole system to a new server with more storage? b) Install a virtual server for the mailsystem and an extra storage system may be NFS? c) Stay with the current server and move all mails to a bigger NFS storage. The last option c) would be the most easy one for me as I currently have NFS space. Any thoughts? Hints regarding the NFS storage? Pros Cons? I have seen the dovecot wiki on NFS already and for now we will stay with one single dovecot server. Thanks and regards . Götz

autocreate: We need "auto=init"!
by Peer Heinlein 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

There had been several discussions about the common problem, that there's need for a autocreate-function that creates mailboxes ONLY for new users that had never been logged in before. The reason: Existing users already HAVE "special folders" with localized names. Creating "standard names" at every login will produce confusion, because then they have multiple Sent-Folders and aren't be able to delete them, because they'll always be recreated. I would love to have: 1) auto = init Create the folders ONLY if the whole Storage-Folder (e.g.: ~/Maildir or e.g. `/mdbox) is create (=creation of the INBOX itself). Don't create any folder if the main INBOX already exists. Since there has to be a hook to autoreate a non-existing INBOX it should be able to use this action to also create the folders with auto=init at the same time. 2) auto by type Create that "special folder" only if no other special folder exists. If we have "Sent" and "Sent Items" we could set "mailbox Sent { auto=create-by-type }" so this folder will only be created if no other "\Sent" folder (like "Sent Items") already exists. Dovecot could make sure, that there is AT LEAST ONE or JUST ONE of the special folder \Draft, \Trahs, \Sent. Personally: I would prefere (1) -- and that's what several users already requestet here at the list in the last two years. Function (1) is the only way to change the behavior on a complex, already running system with existing users. That's the way how to introduce new folders for new users without breaking everything for existing users. Any chance for us the get this?

Dovecot 2.2.24 coredump client_check_command_hangs()
by Peter Eriksson 22 Jun '16

22 Jun '16

I’m seeing core dumps from Dovecot’s imap process (around 1/day currently) from client_check_command_hangs(). Dovecot 2.2.24 OS: Solaris 10 CPU: x86 Filesystem: Local ZFS Most crashes are associated with one user (with 25GB of mail in his mailboxes) but some (two) are also associated with other user with “just” 10GB mail. Please find enclosed various log files/traces. Let me know if there is something else I might be able to provide that might give more insight into this. The output is from one of the “25GB”-user crashes. He is able to access mail normally most of the time though so the client recovers and he hasn’t reported this issue to us. — [Lı.U] SysAdmin KITVS-IFM & ITI-NET IT.LiU.SE +46-13-28 2786

Fedora + Dovecot - only one client can connect per user?
by Thomas Cameron 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Howdy - I am running dovecot-2.2.24-1.fc23.x86_64 on Fedora 23. It's up to date as of last night. When I log in from a desktop using Thunderbird on Linux, my Android phone (Nexus 6P) stops receiving mail. It happens if I'm on my laptop or my desktop. My wife has the same problem using Thunderbird on Windows. If she leaves the house and forgets to shut down her MUA, her phone can't retrieve messages. Is this expected behavior? Can I change it? I feel like it's pretty common for folks to have multiple devices which access the same mail account. Between phones, tablets, PCs, etc., this seems like a pretty common scenario. It's a pretty vanilla setup: [root@wintermute ~]# dovecot -n # 2.2.24 (a82c823): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.4.4-301.fc23.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 23 (Twenty Three) 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 { driver = pam } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_cipher_list = PROFILE=SYSTEM ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } Thanks!

Recipient delimiter and lmtp proxying
by Dave 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Hi, I'm attempting to proxy lmtp using director to hash to the same backend as pop3/imap. My pop3/imap users are of the form: username and my lmtp users are of the form: <username@domain> Where domain is fairly redundant but does carry some useful information. Now, I can proxy lmtp using user=%{username} and destuser=%{orig_user}, and this all appears to work correctly. However, if I also try to pass a detail part through to the backend the lmtp users now take the form: <username+detail@domain> I can still use user=%{username} with recipient_delimiter = +, and the detail is correctly stripped, hashing works as expected. However, I can no longer use destuser=%{orig_user} Because recipient_delimiter = +, destuser becomes: <username@domain> And the detail part never reaches the backend. There doesn't appear to be any variables suitable for the destuser expansion - %{auth_user} is unsupported (UNSUPPORTED_VARIABLE_auth_user) on override_fields and in the sql passdb driver. Is there any "correct" way to do this? I can think of a couple of approaches that may work, but both seem like hacks to me: 1. Unset recipient_delimiter and manually strip the detail from the username in the passdb lookup. 2. Give up on passing detail via the login and instead pass the detail via a message header to sieve. Any thoughts/suggestions? -- Dave

Migrate Dovecot email archive
by Marco Usai 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

Yesterday I'vemigrated Dovecot mail archive between two servers using the procedure below: 1) Createon the new server the same email accounts existing on the old server. 2) Transferthe "tarred" mail folder from the old to the new server. For testingpurposes, on Outlook 2007 I've deleted a .pst cache file, forcing the client todownload all emails again. The switchwas absolutely transparent without any problem. All the emails were availableand Outlook 2007 noticed no changes. Can Iconsider this a correct procedure or should I use some tools like Dsync ?

archive all saved IMAP messages
by KT Walrus 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

I need to archive (i.e., send to another mail server) all messages saved on my mail servers. I’ve implemented for SMTP submission, but haven’t figured out how to archive messages saved by IMAP (like to Drafts, Sent, etc.). How would I best implement this? Can I enable Sieve plugin for IMAP? Or, some other method? Like one way backup to archive server? I really only need to archive the messages sent/saved by a user and not the messages received from other users. Kevin

tlsv1 alert unknown ca: SSL alert number 48
by Maurizio Dall'Acqua 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

Hi, I have set up a mail server with postfix+dovecot 2.2.13 on my raspberry pi running Raspbian Jassie OS. Now I would like to add an on-line e-mail client like Squirrelmail or Roundcube. I was able to start up these two clients but when I try to login I get this error message in the dovecot log: tlsv1 alert unknown ca: SSL alert number 48 But I have inserted the self-signed certificate and key in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf Moreover, I can send and receive e-mails from/to my server, and I can login successfully to dovecot IMAP with Thunderbird. Can somebody give me a clue on how to solve this problem? Any help would me much appreciated. Regards, Maurizio

Mail dates
by ＠lbutlr 18 Jun '16

18 Jun '16

Where exactly does dovecot get the date that it reports via IMAP? I have a lot of messages that were restored from an archive and so all have the same date, despite being over the span over several years. I tried setting the timestamps of the files to the date in the Received header, but that didn’t seem to make any difference to what my IMAP clients see. Do I have to rename the files to the right epoch seconds in order for dovecot to show the right dates to the IMAP clients? … It seems I’ve been here before, but I don’t remember the solution … -- 'What is this thing, anyway?' said the Dean, inspecting the implement in his hands.

Advice needed: SMTP/LMTP or IMAP for internal message delivery
by KT Walrus 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

I’ve implemented “next day” delivery this week by taking messages submitted through Postfix, queuing the messages in a MySQL database, and sending them out for delivery through another Postfix instance/Dovecot LMTP proxy with final delivery using the destination mail servers LMTP service. Delivery is sent to a “next day” mail server which is sync’d to the recipient’s mail server using “doveadm sync -A tcp:next-day-mail:12345” on each mail server in the early morning. This all appears to be working well. I do have a need to deliver these messages into specific mail folders in the recipient’s mailbox and I was planning on using global Sieve scripts running on the “next day” mail server to place the messages in the proper folder (not all messages are delivered to the INBOX folder). I am using a PHP script to move the messages from Postfix to the MySQL database and then later sending them via SMTP to the internal Postfix instance for delivery to the “next day” mail server. I started investing how to code the Sieve scripts today and it occurred to me that I could greatly simplify message delivery by using IMAP to deliver the messages to the “next day” mail server. The PHP script would be able to deliver the exact message that should be stored to the proper folders setting the \Seen flags appropriately. My backend “next day” mail server already supports Master password login so I figure the PHP script should be able to login via IMAP to access the folders in the recipient mailboxes. Also, the PHP script could do other mailbox maintenance tasks when it connects to the user’s mailbox such as purge folders by age, message count, etc. The PHP script could also retrieve info about the current state of the user’s mailbox folders (like the date of the oldest unread message, how many messages have been read in the last week or so, etc) and store this data in the MySQL DB. I’m looking for any advice on whether to scrap the current plan of deploying internal Postfix SMTP/Dovecot LMTP proxy/Dovecot LMTP/Sieve script for “next day” mail delivery and just write PHP script to access Dovecot IMAP (direct to the “next day” mail server or to the user’s mail server for “immediate” delivery). This would allow me to drop using Dovecot LMTP at all. Postfix SMTP would only be configured to invoke a PHP script to deliver messages to the database (which is already implemented). Postfix would still use Dovecot IMAP authentication, but only Dovecot IMAP service would need to be “highly available”. Any opinions? Should I dump LMTP? Kevin

Migrate email account from Dovecot to Dovecot servers
by Marco Usai 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Hello, 1) I needto migrate some mbox imap email accounts from a shared webhosting provider toanother one. 2) Bothservers seem to use Devecot, as a telnet command on port 143 shows an identicalresponse:* OK[CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE NAMESPACESTARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. 3) I don'tknow Dovecot version because I don't have access to "dovecot --version"command. 4) I can'tuse "doveadm-sync" because the command is not available on my sharedhosting account. 5) I preferto leave imapsync perl script as the last option because I want to preserve theUID. So, I needto know what migration procedure can be adopted: if I copythe /home/user/mail/ directory containing all email account from the sourceserver to the destination server, can I expect to see all accounts working withall the emails transferred ? Should I firstcreate from cPanel all the email account with identical names and password onthe destination server ? Anysuggestion will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Double variable expansion / multiple password mechanisms
by Leon Kyneur 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Hi, Trying to solve the problem of supporting multiple auth mechanisms + proxy and really don't want to store user passwords in plain test and fine to do master user to backend. I had the crazy thought I could do something like the following: For each user Store supported password schemes as LDAP attributes: userPasswordCRAM-MD5: {CRAM-MD5}xxx userPasswordDIGEST-MD5: {DIGEST-MD5}xxxx userPasswordSCRAM: {SCRAM-SHA-1}xxxx userPasswordNTLM: {NTLM}xxxx then: =password=%{ldap:userPassword%m} <- Though this doesn't work.. just wondering if it could possibly work or if I should give up on this crazy idea :) Thanks Leon

Mailbox location
by Doug Hardie 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

I am running a small server with a fixed number of users. Postfix is using dovecot lda so that I can run pigeonhole. I have setup a user file with the ids and passwords and everything authenticates properly. Postfix uses that also. However, mail is consistently delivered to user@domain. How do I tell it to deliver to just user? I have tried setting a variety of different things like: 10-mail.conf:mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/home_mail/%u userdb { driver = static args = uid=2222 gid=2222 home=/var/mail/home_mail/%u } and a few other things. None of them affected the mailbox location. Fortunately, this is a test system as I probably have mucked up the config files by now. — Doug

sieve-extprogram: How to hand over a variable or pipe a mail so a shell script?
by M. Koehler 17 Jun '16

17 Jun '16

Hi, I´m just playing around with sieve-extprogram but it didn´t works like I think. I want a. execute a shell script that get the subject as parameter my try: require ["fileinto","variables","envelope","vnd.dovecot.execute"]; if header :contains "Subject" "123test" { execute :input "${1}" "exec-test"; keep; } and require ["fileinto","variables","envelope","vnd.dovecot.execute"]; if header :contains "Subject" "123test" { execute "exec-test" "${1}"; keep; } The shell script will create a file with $1 as text. But I didn´t get any output - the created file is empty b. later the complete mail should piped to the shell script require ["fileinto","variables","envelope","vnd.dovecot.execute"]; if header :contains "Subject" "123test" { execute :pipe "exec-test"; keep; } This should (as http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole/raw-file/tip/doc/rfc/spec-bos… described) hand over the complete mail to the script But I don´t know how I handle the complete mail with a shell script? I think the mail will not hand over as a parameter to the shell script, right? But how should I store the mail into a file or should I pipe it through a sed command line (and so one) into a shell script? Hope someone could bring some lights into my darkness :) Best regards, Michael

quota rules for mail users
by mkawada＠redhat.com 16 Jun '16

16 Jun '16

Dear All, Is it possible to make quota rules under $HOME/Maildir/* mailboxes with a specific command such as 'edquota' when the first email arrives at the $HOME/Maildir/{new,cur,tmp} of a user. In the below example, the <UserB> is the one who gets an email for the first time. edquota -p <UserA> <UserB> ---man edquot--- -p, --prototype=protoname Duplicate the quotas of the prototypical user specified for each user specified. This is the normal mechanism used to initialize quotas for groups of users. --- To configure quotas in postfix/dovecot environment, it seems that you need to use dovecot-lda plugin, and then my exact question is as follows: Is it possible to automatically run any commands or scripts in order to set a quota rule to $HOME/Maildir/* mailboxes when users receive an email for the first time? I just found the post-login service allows you to execute scripts after authentication in the following URL, but I have not found the exact way to make it. http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-November/044279.html Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Masaharu Kawada

sieve_extprograms: how to filter original message twice?
by N0T3P4D 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hi, I use dovecot and sieve_extprograms to encrypt all incoming messages with the help of a Python script. Now, I want to process the _original_ message a second time. However, as expected, the second filter is applied to the already filtered message. For reference, here's a copy of the sieve script in question: if address :matches "To" "X(a)Y.Z" { fileinto "INBOX"; filter "gpgit.py" ["X(a)Y.Z", "--encrypt"]; fileinto "encrypted"; filter "gpgit.py" ["X(a)Y.Z", "--wrap"]; # Should be applied to the original message but uses the result of the first filter command fileinto "wrapped"; stop; } Does anyone have an idea how to modify the script to get the intended result? Please cc me, as I'm not subscribed. Thanks for your help Jeremias

Building Dovecot 2.2.24 GIT HEAD version
by Juan C. Blanco 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hello, I'm testing the last GIT (master-2.2) versión of dovecot 2.2 but I'm not able to build new rpm packages with our SPEC file on Centos 5.11. The problem seems to be with a new lib-dcrypt library, the file "src/lib-dcrypt/dcrypt-openssl.c" includes the file "openssl/ec.h" but the OpenSSL devel package included in Centos 5.11 is openssl-devel-0.9.8e-40.el5_11 that not contains the "openssl/ec.h" file I don't know if the next dovecot 2.2 release (derived from 2.2.24 GIT) will not be compatible with Centos 5.11 or if it will be necesary to install some optional openssl packages.

Upgrade to 2.2.9 breaks sasl auth
by Paul 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hi This is my 1st time here so please be gentle. I have encountered one problem since upgrading from 2.0.19 to 2.2.9 which has me beat. The system provides sasl auth services via inet to a postfix 2.11 system. Since the upgrade postfix complains of no sasl methods available. The same dovecot configuration is used on both versions. Now I get these results looking at the inet connection Version 2.0.19 root@larch:~# telnet 192.168.3.15 12345 Trying 192.168.3.15... Connected to 192.168.3.15. Escape character is '^]'.

Connected to 192.168.3.112. Escape character is '^]'.

shutdown_clients has no effect on doveadm stop
by Roland Rosenfeld 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

I try to restart dovecot 2.2.24 (for changing limits) without killing all IMAP and POP3 sessions. dovecot(1) tells me: When shutdown_clients is set to no, existing sessions will continue to use the old settings, after a dovecot reload. Also all sessions will keep alive after a dovecot stop. By default all active sessions will be shut down. According to my "dovecot -n" (see below), I have set "shutdown_clients=no", so "doveadm stop" should keep my open sessions. But if I try this out with a simple telnet to port 143 during "doveadm stop", I see the following: $ telnet imap 143 Connected to imap. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. a login user(a)example.com XXXXX a OK [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 QUOTA ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in * BYE Server shutting down. Connection closed by foreign host. The "BYE Server shutting down." happens exactly at the time, when I press return after "doveadm stop", "systemctl stop dovecot", or "systemctl restart dovecot" in the other shell. Only "systemctl reload dovecot" keeps the open sessions healthy. So it seems that either the man page is wrong, or shutdown_clients=no has no effect after dovecot stop...

Advice on once a day message delivery setup
by KT Walrus 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

I’m adding once a day mail delivery to my site. Messages are marked by the sender as “overnight” or “once a week” delivery. The way I’m planning on implementing this is to queue messages until midnight in a MySQL database. Each mailbox will be kept in two Dovecot mailstores. The first mailstore will give the users IMAP access to their mailbox. A second mailstore will hold the next day’s new messages. At midnight, a cron job runs to send messages in the MySQL database out to the second mailstore. Then, at 6am, a second cron job will run to sync the two mailstores using doveadm sync. What I am expecting to happen is that during the day, notification messages (from the site) may be delivered to the first mailstore (the one providing IMAP access to the user) but no messages from other users sent during the day will come until after 6am the next day. Each time the user submits a new message, a notification message is sent back to the sender with a link for editing the queued message in the MySQL database and an indication of when it is scheduled for delivery. I am kind of assuming that the morning sync process is fast enough so it can easily complete before noon (in 6 hours) even if I end up having lots of mailboxes on each fully loaded Dovecot server. Is the doveadm sync process reliable and efficient enough for this type of “once a day” morning new message mail delivery? Or, should I just start delivering messages after midnight and not bother with the second mailstore and subsequent sync? Just looking for any advice… I kind of like the idea of modeling my mail service after the US Post Office where the mailman delivers new mail once a day rather than like Twitter/Facebook where messages are posted in real time to encourage users to monitor their boxes throughout the day.

Potential bug report: Cannot use ":args" option via Pigeonhole Sieve pipe plugin
by Zeeshan Muhammad 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Hi all, Following the instructions noted at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Pipe , I am trying to make use of the Pigeonhole sieve pipe plugin to execute an application with custom arguments via my test sieve script: require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe"]; if address :is "to" "test(a)example.com" { pipe :args [ "first-arg", "second-arg" ] "sieve-pipe-example"; } I am editing my test sieve script via Mozilla Thunderbird v45.1.1 using the Sieve email-client addon (v0.2.3h, see https://github.com/thsmi/sieve#releases and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/sieve/ ) When I attempt to save the example sieve script above, I get the following error returned by ManageSieve via Mozilla Thunderbird's Sieve addon: "The script could not be saved: Sieve mail filter: line 3: error: unknown tagged argument ':args' for the pipe command (reported only once at first occurrence). Sieve mail filter: error: validation failed." I have setup sieve-pipe-example as follows in my 90-sieve.conf configuration: service sieve-pipe-script { executable = script /usr/bin/echo user = dovenull # socket name is program-name in Sieve unix_listener sieve-pipe-example { } } I cannot see where I am going wrong.

Marking an entire mailbox read
by ＠lbutlr 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

I have an archive mailbox that contains in excess of 100,000 mail messages (stored in maildir) that accidentally got marked as unread. It is too large for my mail client to select all the mail and mark it as read without throttling. Is there a simple way that I can use doveadm or something to simply mark every message in that maildir as read? Or do I just loop through every message and move it to <messaage>+S? find ~/Maildir/.Archive/cur/* -type f -name “1*:2” --exec mv {} {}S \; -- By the way, I think you might be the prettiest girl I've ever seen outside the pages of a really filthy magazine

sieve vacation script exclude based on sender email address
by Harondel J. Sibble 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

I thought I'd asked this question a few years ago but can't seem to find any eveidence of that so here goes. I've been looking at the sieve docs and recipes, done a lot of googling but no joy so far. Using stanard vacation script and that works great, however I want to exclude certain sender email addressess from ever receiving a vacation autoresponse, how do I go about adding that to my existing vacation recipe. I suspect my search terminology is what is causing me not to find anything as I typically am using exclude and similar search terms. -- Harondel J. Sibble Sibble Computer Consulting Ltd.

Scalability of Dovecot in the Cloud
by KT Walrus 12 Jun '16

12 Jun '16

Does anyone have any idea of how many IMAP connections a single cloud VM (4 vCores at 2.4GHz, 30GB RAM, local SSD storage - non-RAID) can be expected to handle in production. The mailboxes are fairly small (average 5MB total - 50MB max, as I don’t store attachments in Dovecot expect those saved through IMAP in the Sent/Drafts folders) and each user will probably have an average of 2 devices that have the mail clients configured to access each mailbox. Can such a server handle 100,000 mailboxes (200,000 devices/clients)? Or is it more like 10,000? Or, even smaller? I can scale the cloud VM up to 32 vCores and 240GB RAM (at 8 times the price) or split the mailboxes onto multiple VMs. The VM will also be running LMTP and other Dovecot services (I don’t plan on supporting POP3 at this time). The mailboxes will be sync’d to a backup VM running Dovecot for high availability so has some load from this background activity. LMTP will not be that high a load, I think, since most messages will be delivered by at night. But, clients will have IMAP connections 24/7. Just trying to get an idea of the cost of running a potentially huge/growing mail service in the cloud… I’m going to have to support around a million mailboxes before the site will generate significant revenue to support operations.

postfix+dovecot and usernames different to e-mail addresses
by Benjamin 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Hi, I want to replace an old mailserver setup with postfix+dovecot. The problem I'm facing now is, that the old system had usernames different to the e-mail address of the user. For example: E-Mail-Address: foo(a)example.com Username: foo-example.com I configured postfix so that it passes mails to dovecot using the following command (master.cf): dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mail-data:mail-data argv=/usr/lib/dovecot /dovecot-lda -a $(recipient) When dovecot now receives an e-mail from postfix it logs dovecot: lda(mail-data): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace 'INBOX.': Home directory not set for user. Can't expand ~/ for mail root dir in: ~/Maildir dovecot: lda: Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. My dovecot-ldap configuration looks quite simple: hosts = 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2 dn = cn=mailadmin,dc=example,dc=com dnpass = foo auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = ou=users,dc=example,dc=com user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u)) pass_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u)) I think dovecot does not know that the username is not the e-mail address, but how can I tell him? Furthermore we have alternative addresses here, so for example there may be an e-mail address bar(a)example.com owned by foo-example.com who has foo(a)example.com as primary address. Dovecot itself (IMAP) works fine, so here it can find the correct Maildir for the user. The difference is, that I connect using the username instead of the e-mail address in this case. # dovecot --version 2.2.22 (fe789d2) # postconf -d | grep mail_version mail_version = 3.1.0 # lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial Thanks for your help Benjamin

Easily kick and flush dovecot cache for all dovecot mailboxes in a domain
by Murray T. | Dreamscape 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Hi, We are running a dovecot director cluster. We want to be able to easily kick all mailboxes in a domain off all backend mailstores. We also then want to flush the dovecot cache for all dovecot mailboxes in the domain. Is there a single command we can run on one of the front-end director mail proxies or backend mailstores that will do this instead of having to kick or flush each mailbox in a domain individually on each mailstore.

Re: Advice on once a day message delivery setup

You've rediscovered digesting, which many mailing list (including this one), will batch up messages and periodically send them as one large message (using MIME multipart or some other combination technique). The only difference is that your doing it at the receiving end. I wouldn't recommend it for all mail, but it could be useful to aggregate high-volume low-priority mail into managable chunks. There are many ways you could accomplish it, but the most straightforward way is to deliver new mail to sideline mailbox, and have a cron script deliver them to the user's INBOX (possibly digesting them into one message).

password expire warning for dovecot users in IMAP/POP login
by mkawada＠redhat.com 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

Dear list, Is it possible to give a notification about password exprire warning to users authenticated by OpenLDAP when the users login via dovecot using IMAP or POP? For example, when you ssh to a server and/or run ldapsearch, you can be warned with password expire warning like below: # ssh testuser@localhost testuser@localhost's password: Your password will expire in 31 minute(s). <== Last login: Wed Jun 8 12:22:08 2016 from localhost.localdomain ]$ ldapsearch -LLL -D uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com -w redhat "cn=testuser" -e ppolicy ldap_bind: Success (0) (Password expires in 1808 seconds) <== dn: uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com Does the same can be done for dovecot users authenticated by OpenLDAP in IMAP/POP? Thanks, -- Masaharu Kawada

segfault in IMAP APPEND with compressed maildir

Hi! After upgrading from Debian wheezy with (self compiled) dovecot 2.2.15 to Debian jessie with (self compiled) 2.2.24, I observe the following segmentation fault in the logs: Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Error: read(<imap client>) failed: read(size=8003) failed: Connection reset by peer (uid=0, box=trash) Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Error: zlib.read(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap): unexpected EOF at 88001 Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Error: read(zlib(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap)) failed: read(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap) failed: zlib.read(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap): unexpected EOF at 88001 (uid=0, box=trash) Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 22902 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) We also observed the same (rare) error in the past on the old system. But on the old system, there were only the first 3 lines without the segmentation fault, so we ignored the issue until now. The problem always happens on IMAP folders where the client writes to, like "trash", "drafts", "sent" and the like.

Slow auth
by Ranbir 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Hi Everyone, I'm running dovecot on a CentOS 7 box using PLAIN and GSSAPI auth. I need to use both because I have some clients that can't use GSSAPI. I haven't been able to get the userdb working properly without a password file and a userdb file. For example, I have to set the home default and change the username_format. I use FreeIPA and the dovecot server is joined properly to the realm. Authentication works (I don't have any passwords in the userdb file). The problem is authentication is slow. When I use Roundcube, the login takes longer than it should. In fact, every operation (changing folders, opening an email, replying, etc.) is just slow. The web server where Roundcube is running is barely loaded, the dovecot server isn't loaded and the FreeIPA server is basically sitting idle. When I watch /var/log/secure as I login to roundcube, I see this in the logs: http://pastebin.ca/3620032 Why is pam_unix being hit and then pam_sss? I'm thinking the pam_unix failures are the reason why the auth is slow. Here's the output from dovecot -n: http://pastebin.ca/3620029 I'm sure I haven't configured something correctly, hence the performance problems. Any help would be appreciated. -- Ranbir

Multiple recipient delimiter support?
by Tanstaafl 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Trying to find out if dovecot supports the use of multiple recipient delimiters, as postfix does, but can't find an answer... The wiki only mentions it in two meaningful places (that I can find)... With respect to postfix: /wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix The above seems to imply that for postfix/LDA all I need to do is define it in postfix (which supports multiple recipient delimiters). And with Pigeonhole/Sieve: wiki.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration It seems to be saying that I must also define the same recipient_delimiters in dovecot config if using LMTP, and also if I want to use sieve for filtering of mail. But, the example and text says nothing about the use of multiple delimiters... So, is this supported? If so, the wiki should be updated to reflect this...

Can't delete emails from or write replies to Inbox
by Edwin Humphries 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Hi, I'm running Dovecot and Thunderbird, with 2 separate accounts (business and personal). One operates fine, but the other one won't allow me to write replies to the Inbox (so that I can track current threads), and if I move emails to another folder, it copies them instead. New emails do appear in the Inbox. I've checked the permissions on the two Inboxes, and they are the same (except for the owner name). I've tried compacting the problem Inbox, but that hasn't changed things. Edwin

Re: Blowfish hashed passwords

(I subscribed to a daily digest for this list and can’t figure out how to reply to a reply.) Anyway, Aki Tuomi replied to my feature request saying: > We support in latest 2.2 release > > MD5 MD5-CRYPT SHA SHA1 SHA256 SHA512 SMD5 SSHA SSHA256 SSHA512 PLAIN > CLEAR CLEARTEXT PLAIN-TRUNC CRAM-MD5 SCRAM-SHA-1 HMAC-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 > PLAIN-MD4 PLAIN-MD5 LDAP-MD5 LANMAN NTLM OTP SKEY RPA CRYPT SHA256-CRYPT > SHA512-CRYPT > > There is also blowfish support as BLF-CRYPT, but that requires that your > system supports it. CRYPT supports whatever your crypt() supports. > The reason I suggest building in fallback hash type support is that my install of Dovecot on Ubuntu 14.04 didn’t support SHA512-CRYPT or BLF-CRYPT. If Dovecot just included the PHP .c files to make sure it can process Blowfish/SHA512 password hashes on all installs, it would greatly simplify adding Dovecot as a service for my existing user accounts (without forcing them to give their password for the site so I can generate new hashes in a form that Dovecot supports). SHA256-CRYPT is probably my best option for password hashing since it supports ROUNDS to make hash generation slower. But, I would rather use BLF-CRYPT so I can re-use my existing hashes for my user accounts. Kevin

[PATCH v2 0/7] Fixes for lib-mail message-address
by Pali Rohár 05 Jun '16

05 Jun '16

Hello, I borrowed dovecot parser for email addresses and I'm using it in my new perl module Email::Address::XS for parsing & formatting list of email addresses. That perl module is available at github [1]. During implementation and testing I found bugs in dovecot code. So I'm sending my patches (together with tests) which I'm using in my perl module. Lot of other (normal & corner) test cases are part of that perl module [2], so if you are interested feel free to reuse them. Because writing new test cases for dovecot is hard for me, I'm not going to do it. In perl for perl modules it is a lot of easier for me.

Shared Mailbox?
by craig 04 Jun '16

04 Jun '16

Hi, I've been doing a lot of reading on this topic, I'm just finding a lot of doco that's potentially out of date now? System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 (Maipo) dovecot-2.2.10-5.el7.x86_64 The need: 1. I'd like to create a mailbox called "accounts", email would simply get delivered to the account via "accounts(a)example.com" (Maildir format) 2. Share this mailbox so it appears in three other accounts as an extra folder called "accounts" 3. If a user reads an email in the "accounts" folder, I'd like the other users to know this. Clients: * Latest Thunderbird * Outlook 2013. Any advice welcome ;) Cheers, Craig

nginx proxy to dovecot servers
by KT Walrus 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

I’m trying to understand how the nginx mail proxy and dovecot work. As a I understand it, nginx can listen on a IP:port for IMAP connections. NGINX then can invoke a PHP script to do authorization and backend server selection. Does NGINX than proxy to the backend dovecot IMAP server all subsequent IMAP commands that the user’s mail client requests? Does the backend dovecot IMAP server do its own authentication with another MySQL password lookup? Or, since NGINX has done the authentication, the password_query lookup is skipped on the dovecot server? I assume the dovecot IMAP server still needs to do a MySQL user_query lookup (to find the location of the user’s mailbox on the server), but I am wondering whether the password will be checked twice, once by NGINX and a second time by dovecot IMAP.

zlib corrupted data

Hello, We are having performance problems with one of our users. We are having a server (2.1.16) for about 8000 users. This server is a vmware vm with 8 cores and 32GB of RAM. Normally, it is working fine, but when one of our users access his email, then the load increases a lot and this high load is maintained while the user is connected. Looking for problems with this user I have found that trying to move messages from one folder to another I have errors like: doveadm(mctm(a)um.es): Error: zlib.read(/mail/users/mailboxes/um.es/mc/mctm/mdbox/storage/m.1486): corrupted data at 30152376 doveadm(mctm(a)um.es): Error: zlib_istream.seek(/mail/users/mailboxes/um.es/mc/mctm/mdbox/storage/m.1486) failed: Invalid argument doveadm(mctm(a)um.es): Error: zlib.read(/mail/users/mailboxes/um.es/mc/mctm/mdbox/storage/m.1473): corrupted data at 7175520 doveadm(mctm(a)um.es): Error: zlib_istream.seek(/mail/users/mailboxes/um.es/mc/mctm/mdbox/storage/m.1473) failed: Invalid argument but a doveadm dump of these files shows no problem.

AD query timeout might be result size limit exceeded
by Julien Lambot 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

Hello list I've been struggling for a while trying to configure multiple domain ldap authentication with full e-mail address authentication. Which in fact was not the issue. There where some discrepancies between the doc and our actual configuration (see appendix A/ ) Seems that pass_filters and user_filters don't need much special settings for our setup. Now it's working correctly at the sole exception that when an OU contains "lots" of users (>200) i suspect that the ldapseach query fails. We can well authenticate when we have 50 users in an OU, but not when the number raises (I don't have the exact number above which it locks). Is there a parameter that we can set to increase the result size limit (as i suspect this to be the cause of this possible bug)? If I query manually it's ok (ldapsearch) if I use "doveadm auth user.name(a)domain.tld", it succeed also but I wonder if it doesn't use the winbind authentication instead. Here is our ldap-auth configuration hosts = master.domain.local:389 dn = DOMAIN\ro-user dnpass = password debug_level = 2 auth_bind = yes #auth_bind_userdn = cn=%u,OU=_myou,OU=Utilisateurs,OU=ouname,DC=domain,DC=local (tried with and without with no better results) ldap_version = 3 #deref = never #base = OU=InfrastructureManagement,DC=domain,DC=local (works has a few users) base = OU=_myou,OU=Utilisateurs,OU=ouname,DC=domain,DC=local scope = subtree user_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(mail=%u)) pass_filter = (&(objectclass=person)(mail=%u)) and some logs in appendix B/ Thanks for any hints on this.

Blowfish hashed passwords
by KT Walrus 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

The PHP app I’m using on my website uses PHP to generate password hashes to be stored into the user database. These password hashes use Blowfish encryption ("$2y$”). In fact, since PHP 5.3.0, PHP contains its own implementation of the hash types it supports including: - CRYPT_STD_DES - CRYPT_EXT_DES - CRYPT_MD5 - CRYPT_BLOWFISH - CRYPT_SHA256 - CRYPT_SHA512 The C code for these hash types is in https://github.com/php/php-src/tree/master/ext/standard <https://github.com/php/php-src/tree/master/ext/standard> I’m working on adding Dovecot to my site, but Dovecot doesn’t seem to support Blowfish password hashes (at least on Ubuntu 14.04). Would you consider adding built-in “fallback” support for Blowfish and SHA512 (which doesn’t seem to be supported either on Ubuntu 14.04 last time I checked) to an upcoming Dovecot release? You could probably take the source code from the GitHub PHP repo to incorporate support for these hash types in Dovecot. That way, Dovecot could easily use the same hash types that PHP supports regardless of what hash types are installed in the OS running Dovecot. And, I wouldn’t have to deal with a second set of hashes for Dovecot passdb for my existing user accounts. See PHP manual for crypt function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php Kevin

special-use for virtual folder
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Hi, I'm running two different Dovecot servers (actually more but those are pretty similar and same versions 2.2.24). Today I configured a virtual All folder on both: namespace { location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual prefix = virtual. separator = . } mailbox virtual.All { special_use = \All } On this system the special-use flag is not applied to the folder (checked via LIST "" "*"). On the other system: namespace { location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/virtual prefix = virtual/ separator = / } mailbox virtual/All { special_use = \All } On the second system I can see * LIST (\HasNoChildren \All) "/" virtual/All Besides the separator I don't see a big difference between both configurations. Any idea? Thanks, Wolfgang

forwarding emails using sieve
by Thorsten von Eicken 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

I know this is a tad tangential to dovecot, but maybe someone has some pointers for me. I'm trying to forward emails using the sieve filtering and redirect doesn't do it because it doesn't wrap the message in a new email, instead, it seems to just change the envelope From (and To). This causes the outbound relay to reject the message for security/spam reasons (forged From). It looks like the dovecot sieve implementation doesn't let me change the From header in the sieve script. Is there a way to accomplish what I'm looking for? Thanks!

IMAP Timeouts
by Vince42 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hi, from time to time the IMAP login times out ... my external monitoring says "connection reset by peer (SSL)" and Thunderbird tries to connect forever. After a short while everything returns back to normal operation. The system resources are plenty, there are no error messages and no greedy background tasks running. I read a little about tweaking imap-login - but all the default parameters seem to be set more generously than what was recommended. Where should I start the debugging process? I really wish there was some "dovecot optimizer tool" ... :P -- Cheers, \\|// Vince (o o) ----------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------- ''' (o)_(o) [ ][0][ ] ô¿ô (=°o°=) World Domination by Copy and Paste [ ][ ][0] - (")_(") [0][0][0] () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments Ooo. ---------------------------.ooO----( )------------------------- ( ) (_/ \_)

pread() failures when using mdbox on btrfs
by Marc Joliet 28 May '16

28 May '16

(Note: I am not subscribed to this ML, so please be sure to CC me in replies.) Hello, I see a strange bug when running dovecot under btrfs with a mailbox in mdbox format. At some point, which can take a few minutes or more than a day, dovecot starts logging pread() failures, like so: Apr 02 23:43:42 thetick dovecot[570]: imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/LinuxAudio/User/dbox- Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error These would trigger when getmail runs (which in turn is configured to use dovecot-lda). It's only ever the *.index.log files, and it would usually happen to the same one many times in a row. To demonstrate, this is the full list of unique pread() failures on one host (my desktop PC): # journalctl -u dovecot -p 3 -o cat | sort -u | grep pread imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/BTRFS/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Gentoo/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/LinuxAudio/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Newsletters/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/SCons/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log: Input/output error and on the current host (a home server): # journalctl -u dovecot -p 3 -o cat | sort -u | grep pread imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Privat/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log: Input/output error Rebooting the system would make it go away (without loss of mails), though remounting the file system should have worked, too. I tried a variety of options, but the only one that helped was to convert the mailbox from mdbox to maildir. I have not seen any pread() failures in the two weeks since. I originally wrote to the btrfs ML, see the thread at [0], in particular my messages [1] and [2], for additional details, including references to what little I could find on the web. However, nothing much came of that thread, so I am now posting here.

first_valid_uid

Hi, I have error log entries like dovecot: lmtp(22155, mail): Error: user mail: Mail access for users with UID 8 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup). This obviously tells me that the user mail (UID 8) is trying to access the LMTP daemon. How can I find out why he is doing so and how I can get rid of this error message? The mail system (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : Postfix + Dovecot) is working - but probably not properly configured. -- Cheers, \\|// Vince (o o) ----------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------- ''' (o)_(o) [ ][0][ ] ô¿ô (=°o°=) World Domination by Copy and Paste [ ][ ][0] - (")_(") [0][0][0] () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments Ooo. ---------------------------.ooO----( )------------------------- ( ) (_/ \_)

Unable to view shared mailbox
by dev 25 May '16

25 May '16

Hi All, I have a mailing list I'd like to archive and share with a handful of users. The users are all in OpenLDAP. 10-auth-system.conf.ext is setup with "driver=pam" so it appears anyone in LDAP who already is able to SSH into the server may also connect to dovecot with same username/password they use in LDAP. I have a shared mailbox directory called LISTS_Archive. The system directory is /home/shared_imap. I can connect to dovecot using LDAP credentials (using Thunderbird) and this shared folder (LISTS_Archive) is grayed out. I assume I have acls wrong? What I want is for users in LDAP to access the LISTS_Archive imap folder as a shared folder for everyone. Only R/O access however (which is 'lr' in acl file I think). Would someone please point out what I've missed? Thank you. # # egrep -v '(^$|\#)' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf # mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir namespace inbox { type = private separator = / inbox = yes } mail_plugins = acl plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls } namespace { hidden = no inbox = no location = maildir:/home/shared_imap/:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = LISTS_Archive/ separator = / type = public list = yes subscriptions = no } # # egrep -v '(^$|\#)' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf # protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_acl } # # dir /home/shared_imap/ # total 8 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 May 25 10:26 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 user384 mail-user 0 May 25 10:43 dovecot-acl-list drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail-user 4096 May 25 10:43 . # # cat /etc/dovecot/acls # * user=user384 lr

ot: selfcert IMAP StartTLS 143 Win10 Tbird woes
by voytek＠sbt.net.au 25 May '16

25 May '16

I was trying to set up a replacement laptop running W10/64 to replace a Win7 laptop, installed TBird, and, attempted normal setup: IMAP StartTLS 143, SMTP StartTLS 587 (like on old laptop), and, to cut a long story, eventually discovered it won't work till I changed IMAP SSL/TLS 993 ? SMTP seems OK, only IMAP didn't (I recall earlier similar type of issues with either Outlook or OE or WLive?) is this the self certified part ? or what is it ? what's the best way around ? or just leave it as 993 ? thanks for any hints , pointers or even words of encouragement

Error: Filename keeps changing
by Ward Romp 24 May '16

24 May '16

Dear all, Two days ago, my ldap server (for authentication) crashed and I had to set up a new one. Everything works fine except the mailbox for one user (let's name him debugger). When I try to access his mail whatever way, dovecot complains about "Error: maildir_file_do(........): Filename keeps changing" For example, a command "doveadm copy -u debugger(a)boontje.net Archive mailbox Netspar" returns doveadm(debugger(a)boontje.net): Error: maildir_file_do(/var/mail/vmail/boontje.net/debugger/mail/Netspar/cur/14230…: Filename keeps changing doveadm(debugger(a)boontje.net): Error: Copying message UID 1 from 'Netspar' failed: Internal error occurred.

Growing number of dovecot processes
by John Oliver 24 May '16

24 May '16

OS is CentOS 6, dovecot-2.0.9-19 Just started using this server as a replacement for an old Debian server running an old dovecot. The number of dovecot processes just grows and grows until there are 100 concurrent login processes (we have maybe 40 or 50 users), and then nobody can log in any more. A reload resets, but the number of stuck processes climbs very quickly. We're authenticating against an OpenLDAP. Unfortunately, this system is not connected to the Internet so I cannot paste logs or output of commands. I've been Googling, but aren't hitting on the right phrase to describe this issue to uncover possible answers :-( If anyone can get me pointed in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * ***********************************************************************

No implicit INBOX with mailbox_list_index = yes?
by Karsten Heiken 23 May '16

23 May '16

Hello all, I am running a Dovecot Cluster (2.2.13 and 2.2.23 show the same behaviour) using dsync replication (as described here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Replication) In addition to that I allow users to share mailboxes using IMAP ACLs. My problem is that I need to set "mail_shared_explicit_inbox = yes" if I want my users to see Inboxes of other users. If I leave mail_shared_explicit_inbox = no, then the user cannot see any Inboxes of other users: > * LIST (\Subscribed \UnMarked) "/" Sent > * LIST (\Subscribed \UnMarked) "/" Drafts > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX When I set explicit_inbox = yes, then I can see the shared mailboxes: > * LIST (\Subscribed \UnMarked) "/" Sent > * LIST (\Subscribed \UnMarked) "/" Drafts > * LIST (\NonExistent) "/" shared > * LIST (\NonExistent) "/" shared/bob(a)luis.uni-hannover.de > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" shared/bob(a)luis.uni-hannover.de/INBOX > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX After some digging I found out that if I set mailbox_list_index = NO, then everything works even without explicit_inbox: > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Sent > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" Drafts > * LIST (\NonExistent) "/" shared > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" shared/bob(a)luis.uni-hannover.de > * LIST (\Subscribed) "/" INBOX Since we are migrating from Cyrus to Dovecot, our users are used to the behaviour of explicit_inbox = no, so I would like to keep it that way. I would simply leave mailbox_list_index disabled, but the comment states it is required for NOTIFY, which in turn is required by the rolling replication -- am I corrent? > # Mailbox list indexes can be used to optimize IMAP STATUS commands. They are > # also required for IMAP NOTIFY extension to be enabled. > # mailbox_list_index = yes What am I doing wrong or don't understand?

dovecot-sieve: require "mailbox" fails (Unbuntu 16.04)
by Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hello everyone, I'm moving some old procmail recipes to sieve, but having problems with it. The problem lies with the mailbox extension, which I'm trying to use as proposed in an example in the Dovecot wiki: > require ["variables","date","fileinto","mailbox"]; > > # Extract date info > if currentdate :matches "year" "*" { set "year" "${1}"; } > if currentdate :matches "month" "*" { set "month" "${1}"; } > > # Archive Dovecot mailing list items by year and month. > # Create folder when it does not exist. > if header :is "list-id" "dovecot.dovecot.org" { > fileinto :create "INBOX.Lists.${year}.${month}.dovecot"; > } I'm trying a similar rule (different condition, different mail folder), but cannot seen to get it to work. I always get the errors: > .DOVECOT: LINE 16: ERROR: UNEXPECTED '}' FOUND AT (THE PRESUMED) END OF FILE. > .DOVECOT: ERROR: PARSE FAILED. I'm using the standard dovecot packages from Ubuntu 16.04: > II DOVECOT-CORE 1:2.2.22-1UBUNTU2 AMD64 SECURE POP3/IMAP SERVER - CORE FILES > II DOVECOT-IMAPD 1:2.2.22-1UBUNTU2 AMD64 SECURE POP3/IMAP SERVER - IMAP DAEMON > II DOVECOT-MANAGESIEVED 1:2.2.22-1UBUNTU2 AMD64 SECURE POP3/IMAP SERVER - MANAGE SIEVE SERVER > II DOVECOT-SIEVE 1:2.2.22-1UBUNTU2 AMD64 SECURE POP3/IMAP SERVER - SIEVE FILTERS SUPPORT I was under the impression that these sieve extensions, including "mailbox", are builtin into dovecot/pigeonhole, or at least packaged into dovecot-sieve. Is that not the case? How can I get the example working under Ubuntu linux 16.04? Do I need to add or reconfigure something by hand? Thanks in advance for any help on the subject. Greetings Kasi Mir

Re: BUG?: Dsync over piped process (DSYNC_RUN_TYPE_CMD): EPIPE if X (done) is received in another write after F (finish)

I think this is intentional. The F(inish) tells the final response whether everything was OK or not, so all the work is done after that. The 'X' is described in code as: > > /* notify remote that we're closing. this is mainly to avoid > "read() failed: EOF" errors on failing dsyncs */ > o_stream_nsend_str(ibc->output, > t_strdup_printf("%c\n", items[ITEM_DONE].chr)); > > and on the receiving side: > > if (line[0] == items[ITEM_DONE].chr) { > /* remote cleanly closed the connection, possibly because of > some failure (which it should have logged). we don't want to > log any stream errors anyway after this. */ > dsync_ibc_stream_stop(ibc); > return DSYNC_IBC_RECV_RET_TRYAGAIN; > } > > So I think it only matters in error handling.

BUG?: Dsync over piped process (DSYNC_RUN_TYPE_CMD): EPIPE if X (done) is received in another write after F (finish)
by J. Nick Koston 20 May '16

20 May '16

Hi, It appears that dsync closes the file handle once it gets the F (finish) response even if it hasn’t received the X (done) response. If the X (done) response gets delivered in another write this will generate EPIPE in the connected process. This is much easier to replicate over SSL, however the trace is provided without SSL since its easier to see whats going on. Thanks J.

synchronous replication based on priority
by Sylvain Allemand 18 May '16

18 May '16

Hi, i see in this page (http://blog.dovecot.org/2012/02/dovecot-clustering-with-dsync-based.html) : "Optionally the replication plugin can also support synchronous replication of new mail deliveries. In this way it connects to replication-notify UNIX socket, tells it to replicate the user with sync (=highest) priority and waits until it is done or replication_sync_timeout occurs. The IMAP/LMTP client won't see an "OK" reply until the mail is replicated (or the replication has failed). The synchronous replication probably adds a noticeable delay, so it might not be acceptable for IMAP, but might be for LMTP." is this fonctionnality effective for LMTP ? If so, where is the config ? The wiki says that replication is asynchronous. Thanks for help, Best regards -- Sylvain Allemand <mailto:sylvain.allemand@math.u-bordeaux1.fr> Cellule Informatique Institut de Mathématiques de Bordeaux - UMR5251 05 40 00 68 86 www.math.u-bordeaux.fr/imb/cellule <http://www.math.u-bordeaux.fr/imb/cellule>

Reloading dovecot and postfix after updates
by ＠lbutlr 17 May '16

17 May '16

Recently someone used webmin to update dovecot, which went fine. However, after the update no one could login to the mail server because of the mismatch in the versions between what was installed and what postfix was expecting. Other that bapping the person on the head and saying “don’t do that” is there anyway to force a reload of postfix after dovecot reloads? Like adding a postfix reload to the dovecot rc.d script or someway of linking them so that if either version changes they both get reloaded? (I don’t even use webmin myself, so maybe it’s even possible through it?) I mean, it’s unlikely to happen again at this point, but still… -- "...and Digby considered how much he liked salt..."

Errors on Cross-Protocol Locking nbmand (ZFS Solaris)

I know this may not be a dovecot error, but any pointers why it is doing this so that I can report it to Oracle. I tried creating a small C program to mimic the same problem but no luck, since I know it would make it easier to get Oracle to fix it. # /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot --version 2.2.24 (a82c823) Thanks for now, Andrew -- Andrew Watkins * Birkbeck, University of London * Computer Science * * http://notallmicrosoft.blogspot.com * * UKOUG Systems SIG Chair * * UKOUG Tech committee * * tel: 020 7631 6720 *

Dovecot configuration: Home dir not found
by Divakar BM 17 May '16

17 May '16

Hi, I've my mail solution configured on Server-A with webmail, Dovecot and Postfix. I'm trying to deploy only Dovecot and postfix on Server-B to reduce IMAP/POP3/SMTP load on server-A. Please note server-B does not mailboxes. It should be mapped to mailboxes on server-A. While the LDAP query from Server-B to Server-A is going successfully, the imap service on Server-B is throwing the below error. imap(user(a)example.com): Debug: Home dir not found: /mail/vmail/**/ I guess imap is looking for *home dir* in server-B. How do I tel the imap that home dir is on server-A and not server-B. Please let me know if there exists a configuration parameter for the above.. Thanks Divakar

Sieve extension for testing for mailbox
by Jon Kristensen 16 May '16

16 May '16

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! Which Pigeonhole Sieve extension should I use to process/test a message depending on whether the message is in a particular mailbox? (Is it the mboxmetadata extension by any chance? If so, I would appreciate if someone could tell me what the reason is for it not being enabled by default.) The reason I want to perform this test is that I have configured my MTA to deliver "outgoing" e-mails to my "Sent" IMAP folder, and these messages arrive unread. I would like to mark them as read using Sieve.

Hi, I've tried to upgrade to dovecot 2.2.24. It seems that lucene reindex issue should be fixed. But instead of this dovecot indexer-worker crashes very often for me. I'm attaching backtrace. Please let me know if you need backtrace from binary without optimizations. -- WBR, Dmitry

SSL on doveadm port
by Patrick Domack 15 May '16

15 May '16

I have been attempting to setup ssl on the doveadm port. So far this works fine, as long as the global certificate is used. I wanted to use a different certificate, one that machines the machine name, instead of the generic mail certificate, but I have not been able to figure out how to do this. Attempts to add the certificate in the services section with the ssl = yes option, cause syntax error, and dovecot doesn't start. Creating a protocol doveadm section with it, is ignored, and setting up a local section with it in it, is ignored also.

FTS and autoindex in a cluster?

15 May '16

In a dovecot replication cluster where both sides have fts_autoindex=yes we have a indexer-worker(user(a)example.com): Indexed 1 messages in INBOX on BOTH sides. a) Is that okay because the duplicated message will be skipped or doesn't harm? b) Or should "autoindex" only be activated on one side?

Dovecot 2.1.7 randomly lost emails
by Paolo Rinaldo 13 May '16

13 May '16

Hi Dovecot 2.1.7 Postfix 2.9.6 Maildir backend, emails filtered by a Postfix frontend (Sqlgrey, Amavis). Lmtp delivering emails using a simple sieve script. Ubuntu 12.04 VMware virtual server. When email are CCed to other recipients on the same domain (the same backend), sometimes they are lost. We hosts approx. 1500 mailboxes, the problem occurs one or two times a day. Recently I changed the frontend, the previous one was delivering one email for each recipient, we had a couple of error per year, we thought it was due to client-side error. The frequency increased with the new frontend, no more “splitting” messages for more than one recipient. The following sample is from a client using a POP3 connection, leaving emails on server. the Postfix mail.log May 11 01:26:55 lmail01 postfix/qmgr[7054]: 96E9CA6628: from=<sender(a)external.com>, size=11822371, nrcpt=2 (queue active) May 11 01:26:55 lmail01 postfix/lmtp[3106]: 96E9CA6628: to=<user-one(a)domain.com>, relay=mail4.robinson.it[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.64, delays=0.45/0/0/0.19, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 <user-one(a)domain.com> 0vNzHyptMlezHgAAk+lh+g Saved) May 11 01:26:55 lmail01 postfix/lmtp[3106]: 96E9CA6628: to=user-two(a)domain.com>, relay=mail4.robinson.it[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.74, delays=0.45/0/0/0.29, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 user-two(a)domain.com> 0vNzHyptMlezHgAAk+lh+g Saved) May 11 01:26:55 lmail01 postfix/qmgr[7054]: 96E9CA6628: removed the dovecot-info.log May 11 01:26:55 lmtp(7859, user-one(a)domain.com) Info: 0vNzHyptMlezHgAAk+lh+g: sieve: msgid=<003A2D931FFF0E48A2314A1ADC87E23E8E4BA1DE(a)t49-ms-exmb02.INTRANET.SAKSROOT.SAKSINC.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' May 11 01:26:55 lmtp(7859, user-two(a)domain.com) Info: 0vNzHyptMlezHgAAk+lh+g: sieve: msgid=<003A2D931FFF0E48A2314A1ADC87E23E8E4BA1DE(a)t49-ms-exmb02.INTRANET.SAKSROOT.SAKSINC.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' I cannot find the email 0vNzHyptMlezHgAAk+lh+g for user-two(a)domain.com<mailto:user-two@domain.com>, nor I cannot suppose problems on the client, nothing changed on the back-end.
