Strange repplication issues
by Bertrand Caplet 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Hi, I know there are lots of questions about replication, but I searched and didn't find my question. I've got some problems with syncing. I've got 2 servers: A and B When a email arrives on server A sometimes it's not syncing in server B I think server A doesn't always notify server B there are new mails to sync. But I don't know how to fix it. And I spotted something, when it isn't syncing. The only thing to do is to send local or remote mail to server B and then it sync or do a "doveadm sync -A tcp:serverB.example:port" of course. My doveconf -n of the two servers are in attachements bellow. By the way both of my dovecot servers are v2.2.9 P.S.: I didn't test from server B to A but I think it's the same problem.

failed login message

hi i am using dovecot for pop3 and imap along with qmail toaster i had recently changed over from a 32 bit system to a 64 bit system. i use squirrelmail. the issue i face is that when the user inserts an invalid password then the message he gets is connection dropped by imap server (instead of invalid userid or password) such a message confuses the user. my earlier 32 bit version used to give the correct message i am posting this issue here because i am not sure if this is squirrelmail issue or a dovecot issue. can somebody please let me know the reason for this ? rajesh

Migrate Separator and prefix
by Hanns Mattes 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

Hi, I'm thinking of changing the separator form "." to "/" and also to allow only folders under INBOX, changing the Prefix. I have to dovecot-servers, which are synched by the replication plugin. My idea is to switch off Server B, make the necessary config-changes, delete all user maildirs, restart the server an let replication do it's work. After that (and correcting the sieve-rules of the users if necessary), I'd stop server A, delete, restart, resync. My idea is, that this will avoid dealing with subscriptions files and change them to reflect the new INBOX-Structure. Is this going to work at all and/or is there a better way for the wanted migration? Thanks in advance Hanns

Outlook Express and STARTTLS
by Robert Moskowitz 23 Nov '14

23 Nov '14

I have one user that uses Outlook Express. Not only do I not use it, I don't have any systems here that can easily use it. I bit of a challenge. I am strictly enforcing STARTTLS or TLS for SMTP/POP3/IMAP connections. SO far a google search has not shown me how to configure this for a user. Anyone have a pointer to instructions so I can talk the person through the changes?

Static build failure
by Baruch Siach 23 Nov '14

Hi dovecot list, Static build of dovecot fails because src/lib/module-dir.c refers to MODULE_SUFFIX that is undefined when building statically. This least to the following build failure: module-dir.c: In function 'module_file_get_name': module-dir.c:624:20: error: 'MODULE_SUFFIX' undeclared (first use in this function) p = strstr(fname, MODULE_SUFFIX); ^ The following somewhat inelegant patch fixes the problem. diff -Nuar dovecot-2.2.15-orig/src/lib/module-dir.c dovecot-2.2.15/src/lib/module-dir.c --- dovecot-2.2.15-orig/src/lib/module-dir.c 2014-10-18 00:10:15.000000000 +0300 +++ dovecot-2.2.15/src/lib/module-dir.c 2014-11-13 19:27:29.417786313 +0200 @@ -621,7 +621,11 @@ if (*p == '_') fname = p + 1; +#ifdef MODULE_SUFFIX p = strstr(fname, MODULE_SUFFIX); +#else + p = NULL; +#endif if (p == NULL) return fname; baruch -- http://baruch.siach.name/blog/ ~. .~ Tk Open Systems =}------------------------------------------------ooO--U--Ooo------------{= - baruch(a)tkos.co.il - tel: +972.2.679.5364, http://www.tkos.co.il -

Prevent a message from be deleted but not from be moved
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Is it possible to prevent a message from be deleted but not from be moved to another mailbox via ACL? I need this because I'm using antispam plugin with the mailtrain backend. It calls a script every time a message is moved to/from a monitored spam mailbox. But, if the user deletes a message from the spam folder, the script is executed with the option to train the antispam to consider that excluded message as a non spam. So, what I need is to prevent the user from delete a message from the spam mailbox, but I want to permit the user to move a menssage from the spam mailbox to another mailbox. -- Att.

You have the directory entries .dovecot.sieve and .subscriptions, which is anyway a directory indeed, so that's not even a bug. Move all your maildirs to /home/mail/%d/%u/Maildir and then update mail_location accordingly. Then move out the sieve files - .dovecot.sieve, sieve/, .dovecot.sieve.log, .dovecot.svbin to the home directory. It looks like these are not system users, so you may need to set mail_home explicitly to set up the home directory to /home/mail/%d/%u See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home > > root@fastmail:/home/mail/a.com/a@a.com# l > total 108 > drwx------ 13 5000 5000 4096 Nov 20 22:19 ./ > drwx------ 3 5000 5000 4096 Nov 3 23:06 ../ > drwx------ 2 5000 5000 4096 Nov 20 22:07 cur/ > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 9920 Nov 21 03:25 dovecot.index.cache > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 12908 Nov 20 22:19 dovecot.index.log > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 202 Nov 10 22:35 .dovecot.lda-dupes > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 312 Nov 10 22:23 dovecot.mailbox.log > lrwxrwxrwx 1 5000 5000 23 Nov 9 12:21 .dovecot.sieve -> > sieve/managesieve.sieve > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 461 Nov 9 12:28 .dovecot.sieve.log > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 270 Nov 9 15:43 .dovecot.svbin > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 782 Nov 19 23:26 dovecot-uidlist > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 8 Nov 8 16:32 dovecot-uidvalidity > -r--r--r-- 1 5000 5000 0 Nov 3 23:06 dovecot-uidvalidity.54580a72 > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 16:33 .Drafts/ > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 16:33 .Junk/ > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 18:50 .Junk E-mail/ > drwx------ 2 5000 5000 4096 Nov 19 23:44 new/ > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 16:33 .ola ' aaaa \r/ > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 16:33 .Sent Items/ > drwx------ 3 5000 5000 4096 Nov 9 15:42 sieve/ > -rw------- 1 5000 5000 69 Nov 10 22:23 subscriptions > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 21:15 .subscriptions/ > drwx------ 2 5000 5000 4096 Nov 19 23:26 tmp/ > drwx------ 5 5000 5000 4096 Nov 8 21:15 .Trash/ > root@fastmail:/home/mail/a.com/a@a.com# > > > doveconf: > # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf > # OS: Linux 3.14.23x x86_64 Debian 7.6 ext4 > auth_mechanisms = plain login > dict { > sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext > } > disable_plaintext_auth = no > listen = * > login_greeting = myserver > mail_location = maildir:/home/mail/%d/%u > mail_plugins = quota > mail_privileged_group = mail > managesieve_notify_capability = mailto > managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character > vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags > copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave > namespace inbox { > inbox = yes > location = > mailbox Drafts { > special_use = \Drafts > } > mailbox Junk { > special_use = \Junk > } > mailbox Sent { > special_use = \Sent > } > mailbox "Sent Messages" { > special_use = \Sent > } > mailbox Trash { > special_use = \Trash > } > prefix = > } > passdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext > driver = sql > } > plugin { > quota = dict:User Quota::proxy::sqlquota > quota_exceeded_message = Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) / Conta > de destino cheia (o email de destino tem a caixa cheia) > quota_rule = *:storage=100M > sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve > sieve_dir = ~/sieve > sieve_max_script_size = 10M > } > postmaster_address = trash(a)email.pt > protocols = imap lmtp pop3 sieve > service dict { > unix_listener dict { > mode = 0777 > } > } > service imap { > process_limit = 1024 > } > service lmtp { > inet_listener lmtp { > address = 0.0.0.0 > port = 24 > } > process_min_avail = 10 > unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { > group = postfix > mode = 0666 > user = postfix > } > } > service pop3-login { > inet_listener pop3 { > port = 110 > } > } > service pop3 { > process_limit = 1024 > } > ssl = no > ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem > ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem > userdb { > args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext > driver = sql > } > protocol lmtp { > mail_plugins = quota sieve > } > protocol imap { > mail_plugins = quota imap_quota > }

There are a number of funny things here. First of all, dovecot.sieve belongs in the *home* directory, not in Maildir. The home directory can be, typically, the parent directory of the Maildir. Like in: domains/example.com/user1/Maildir - the user1/ is the home directory and dovecot.sieve lives there. Would you please post your complete dovecot config (output of the command: dovecot -n) and also an example output of ls -la of your directory structure? See also http://dovecot.org/mailinglists.html

logwatch reporting

21 Nov '14

I just launched a new mailserver that is using dovecot. My previous mailserver used courier-mail. I am expecting better things with this new server, but I was use to some login information in logwatch that I am not seeing now. For example I would get: [IMAPd] Logout stats: ==================== User | Logouts | Downloaded | Mbox Size --------------------------------------- | ------- | ---------- | ---------- user1(a)htt-consult.com | 55 | 219571 | 0 user2(a)htt-consult.com | 285 | 221681 | 0 user3(a)labs.htt-consult.com | 32 | 15183 | 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 372 | 456435 | 0 **Unmatched Entries** Disconnected, ip=[::ffff:107.150.52.84], time=1, starttls=1: 2 Time(s) ---------------------- IMAP End ------------------------- --------------------- POP-3 Begin ------------------------ [POP3] Logout stats (in MB): ============================ User | Logouts | Downloaded | Mbox Size --------------------------------------- | ------- | ---------- | ---------- user1(a)htt-consult.com | 78 | 5.96 | 0 user2(a)communaljob.com | 215 | 9.24 | 0 user3(a)htt-consult.com | 1 | 7.47 | 0 user4(a)htt-consult.com | 1 | 2.34 | 0 user5(a)htt-consult.com | 301 | 31.08 | 0 user6(a)labs.htt-consult.com | 201 | 4.98 | 0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 797 | 61.06 | 0.00 **Unmatched Entries** Disconnected, ip=[::ffff:107.150.52.84]: 2 Time(s) Disconnected, ip=[::ffff:12.159.43.147]: 50 Time(s) Disconnected, ip=[::ffff:172.245.45.20]: 61 Time(s) LOGIN FAILED, user=Alfredo, ip=[::ffff:172.245.45.20]: 1 Time(s) LOGIN FAILED, user=Antonio, ip=[::ffff:172.245.45.20]: 2 Time(s) LOGIN FAILED, user=postmaster, ip=[::ffff:172.245.45.20]: 7 Time(s) ....

You can contort the virtual plugin to fuse your user's INBOX and spam box together into a virtual INBOX: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual (See section "Virtual POP3 INBOX") This turns the problem from a delivery problem into a reading (or presentation) problem. Seems sort of klunky though. In my opinion, your energy is better invested in converting your POP3 holdouts to IMAP. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

spam folder and POP users
by Robert Moskowitz 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

I am new to actually running dovecot. I actually still use POP as I have for YEARS and thunderbird does not make it easy to convert to IMAP... My server is moving all tagged spam into the IMAP spam folder. Very nice for the IMAP users, but not for the POP users. Of course the server don't know, and the mysql database for users does not have any flags for this. Don't want my server to fill up with spam from POP users that don't know to check via IMAP. I am using roundcubemail for the webmail IMAP client. Is there any way for POP users to indicate that they do not want spam so nicely auto moved to the IMAP spam folder?

UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?)
by [FnG] Lambik 21 Nov '14

Hi, I am struggling with Postfix/SASL/Dovecot-IMAP setup with ~/Maildir/ setup. Receiving the mail works fine, but viewing the mail(+listing) is failing. The setup I use is simple unix users from etc/passwd, (pam thru SASL) as I only host for a few people. The ~/Maildir folder has the ownership of the user, not mail or vmail, as I would have expected from the master.cf from Postfix, the permissions are drwx.- - - .- - - user group Maildir the {USER} and {GROUP} are the user/group of the person logging in on IMAP Can someone help me explain what is going wrong, or how I can increase debugging ? (I did the auth debugging, that was all fine) If you require more information please let me know.

how to recover mails - dovecot 2.2.13
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 21 Nov '14

21 Nov '14

Hi, I still have a messed up user account, with no mail client (appl mail, thunderbird, sogo) mails show up as expected. Folders look empty, some have something in it, but cant access the mails. My idea is, to move the users mal folder, let him regenerate the folderstructure from scratch and than reimport the old mails. Question: We use maildir. Can I just copy the "old" mails from e.g. user-backup/Maildir/curl/* to user/Maildir/curl/* Or which steps are needed? rebuilding any index or something etc ....? Thanks very much for any suggestion!

Dovecot POP3 STARTTLS works on Thunderbird but not on Gmail

Now, I have mail store and indexes stored in a iscsi-ocfs2 volume with that options: mmap_disable = yes dotlock_use_excl = yes mail_fsync = always mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = yes lock_method = dotlock I want to change indexes to local volume ext4 and do this: mmap_disable = no mail_nfs_index = no Could it cause some problem? Thanks.

High I/O wait with Dovecot POP3
by Frido Otten 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Hello, In the past we've had 4 loadbalanced servers configured with courier pop3 and dovecot handling respectively POP3 and IMAP connections. These 4 servers have a shared NFS storage on a Netapp FAS3220 controller with SAS disks. This setup is handling 50 POP3 sessions per second without any problems. Now we're installing 6 new loadbalanced servers to do the same job on the same storage, but using Dovecot to handle the POP3 sessions instead of Courier. The IMAP sessions are already handled by those 6 new servers, but we're encountering high iowait issues when using POP3 on those servers. I've applied the hints from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS but this had no improvement. The 6 new servers are quad core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3323 @ 2.50GHz, with 4 GB RAM connected with gigabit ethernet connection to the storage. The 4 old servers are single core (w/o HT) P4 2,8 GHz with 1 GB RAM. # dovecot --version 2.1.7 # /usr/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem i686 Debian 6.0.10 ext4 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 0 auth_cache_size = 8 k auth_mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 login base_dir = /var/run/imap/ dict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } disable_plaintext_auth = no login_greeting = Dovecot MX. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c mail_fsync = always mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%1u/%1.1u/%u mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes maildir_stat_dirs = yes managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave mmap_disable = yes namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . type = private } namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%%1u/%%1.1u/%%u/:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/%1u/%1.1u/%u/shared/%%u prefix = shared.%%u. separator = . subscriptions = no type = shared } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-auth.conf driver = sql } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl quota = maildir quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+25M } protocols = imap service anvil { client_limit = 4614 } service auth { client_limit = 2560 executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/auth unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0600 user = exim } user = dovecot } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = exim mode = 0660 user = exim } } service imap-login { chroot = login client_limit = 2048 executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login inet_listener imap { address = *, :: port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { address = *, :: port = 993 } process_limit = 2048 process_min_avail = 3 service_count = 0 user = dovecot vsz_limit = 128 M } service imap { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap process_limit = 2048 } service managesieve-login { chroot = login client_limit = 2048 process_limit = 2048 process_min_avail = 3 service_count = 0 user = dovecot vsz_limit = 128 M } service managesieve { process_limit = 2048 } service pop3-login { chroot = login client_limit = 512 inet_listener pop3 { address = 1.2.3.4 port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { address = 1.2.3.4 port = 0 } process_limit = 512 process_min_avail = 3 service_count = 0 user = dovecot vsz_limit = 128 M } service pop3 { process_limit = 2560 } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/wildcardcertificate.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/wildcardcertificate.key syslog_facility = local7 userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-auth.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_acl } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %v.%u } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/imap/auth-master info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log mail_plugins = sieve quota postmaster_address = Mailer-Daemon(a)mx.domain.nl rejection_reason = Your message with subject "%s" was automatically rejected:%n%r sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/exim } Best regards, Frido

redis dict auth and default_fields
by brd 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Hi all, i'm trying to configure default_fields with redis dict (allow_nets, proxy, ...) but it seems that the properties defined are not used even if they appear on output of doveconf. It is a known behaviour? Does default_fields works only for ldap db? I have a director+NFS environment and with dict passdb i'have to put proxy=y for every entry in pass/userdb; to limit the redis memory footprint it should be cool if the proxy=y can be configured as a default_field. It is a limit of using dict for pass/userdb cause using SQL you can manage it as a SELECT fixed field, using LDAP you can manage with default_fields but with dict you are forced to put all inside the db entries. doveconf output: [...] passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-auth.conf.ext default_fields = proxy=y driver = dict } [...] Regards -brd

Dovecot auth process repeatedly crashes on OS X Server 10.9
by James Reynolds 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

My dovecot/auth process crashes several times a minute, sometimes at the same second, sometimes randomly. I’ve turned on auth_debug and been pouring over everything trying to see if I can see what is going on but I can’t find anything. I’m running OS X Server 10.9 and dovecot 2.2.5. I can’t say for sure, but it looks to me like the crashed process doesn’t even save anything to mail-debug.log before it crashes. It takes about 2 seconds for it to come up. Once it crashed about 10 times in 2 seconds. Can anyone give me any ideas where I should look? Here are relevant portions from logs: mail-info.log Nov 06 17:19:10 pop3-login: Info: Aborted login (auth process communication failure): user=<>, method=DIGEST-MD5, rip=155.101.106.229, lip=10.0.0.128, TLS mail-err.log Nov 06 17:19:10 pop3-login: Warning: Auth connection closed with 1 pending requests (max 0 secs, pid=66114, EOF) Nov 06 17:19:10 auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child 66100 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) It looks exactly like what is discussed here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6482632?start=0&tstart=0 I do have clients using Outlook.

Handle of "subscription" file/folder for IMAP
by Jorge Bastos 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hi, For IMAP users, there's the subscription file in the user's home, and if I try to subscribe more imap folders that are invisible, there's that one, but as it is a file, nothing is supposed to happen. Is there an way to, allow users to create the "subscriptions" folder without any collision, or just deny or don't show this file as an possible folder (which Is not) to subscribe. What does people normally do? Thanks in advanced,

Storage IOPs Calculation for Qmail Server
by SasiKumar.K 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Dear DovecotORG, In my organization, we are about to implement Qmail Server. * The number of current users will be 800, in future it may increase upto 1200. * The number of concurrent users will be 300. I am the engineer to deploy the Qmail in Linux server. I need to tell the storage team on the IOPs requirement. I requested 8TB usable space for the mail storage (can scale up in future). Kindly provide your suggestion on this. Thanks & Regards, K.SasiKumar Systems Engineer, Locuz Enterprise Solutions Limited, Bangalore

custom ssh port doveadm sync
by dvm＠rdyn.net 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hi all, First sorry i really couldn't find it back been searching everywhere even the docs and its bit confusing. I am using # doveadm -D sync -u *(a)mydomain.net remote:myserver.net # which works perfect however for security reasons we now need to change the sshd port on the remote server. How do i tell doveadm to use a custom SSH port (would love to continue to use just the ssh connection), if anyone could explain that would be great, because all i found is custom tcp or tcp ssl which is not what we want to use, as i wish to stick with custom ssh port. Regards, r. -- This email was Virus checked by UTM 9. http://www.astaro.org

Different SSL certificates per IP and protocol
by tree 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hi Dovecot Users and Developers, I am hosting the server with multiple domains. I have setup the dovecot with the instructions from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration Each domain has it's own ip address. However, when I connect via Thunderbird or any other mail clients, the client is ONLY picking up the top-level "default" ssl_key and ssl_cert and the certificat in /etc/ssl/dovecot.pem Is this a bug? This is on Debian Wheezy. Any help pointing in the right direction would be appreciated thanks. Here is the ssl section: ----------- ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot.pem local 192.0.2.10 { # instead of IP you can also use hostname, which will be resolved protocol imap { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/imap-01.example.com.cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot/imap-01.example.com.key.pem } protocol pop3 { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/pop-01.example.com.cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot/pop-01.example.com.key.pem } } local 192.0.2.20 { protocol imap { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/imap-02.example.com.cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot/imap-02.example.com.key.pem } protocol pop3 { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/pop-02.example.com.cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot/pop-02.example.com.key.pem } } -----------------------

Mail sync at filesystem level
by Cédric Jeanneret 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hello, I'm currently building a mail infra using some decentralized filesystem for the storage. As I'm wanting to get multiple "entry-points" (servers running dovecot + postfix + other mail-related stuff), all of them sharing the same storage (most probably xtreemfs), how will dovecot cope in this case? As I see things: server1 gets a mail for User1; it pushes it to the xtreemfs directory. server2 shares the same xtreemfs directory, thus it can access the same mail listing User1 connects to server2: will he see the new mail? Will dovecot on server2 know about it? Thanks! Cheers, C.

Understanding why Dovecot unexpectedly died
by Luca Bertoncello 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hi list! I use Dovecot 1.2.17 (I can't upgrade right now, due to many reasons), controlled by Pacemaker (I have an HA-Cluster). Now I see that Pacemaker restarts often Dovecot. I wrote my own script to manage Dovecot, since Pacemaker does not have his own. My script, by the "monitor" section has this: monitor) if [ ! -e $OCF_RESKEY_pid ]; then echo "stopped (no pidfile)" echo "DOVECOT STOPPED - NO PIDFILE" | /usr/bin/logger -p local0.info -t DOVECOT-MONITOR -i exit $OCF_NOT_RUNNING else /bin/ps axuwf | /bin/grep `/bin/cat $OCF_RESKEY_pid` | /bin/grep -v grep > /dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "stopped" echo "DOVECOT STOPPED - NO PROCESS" | /usr/bin/logger -p local0.info -t DOVECOT-MONITOR -i exit $OCF_NOT_RUNNING else if [ "`/bin/netstat -tupan | /bin/grep dovecot | /bin/grep $OCF_RESKEY_bindaddr | /usr/bin/wc -l`" -ne 0 ]; then exit $OCF_SUCCESS else echo "DOVECOT STOPPED - NO LISTEN [`/bin/netstat -tupan | /bin/grep dovecot`]" | /usr/bin/logger -p local0.info -t DOVECOT-MONITOR -i exit $OCF_ERR_GENERIC fi fi fi exit $OCF_SUCCESS ;; The "loggers" was added now to try to understand why it dies...

LMTPS : TLS over LMTP not working
by Stanislas SABATIER 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hello, I tried to activate SSL on LMTP service, to secure connections between Postfix and Dovecot on my LAN, but Dovecot is not negociating a TLS session with Postfix. If I enforce TLS for LMTP at Postfix's side, communication between Postfix and Dovecot is not working. I put ssl = yes ssl_cert = </dovecot/ssl/ssl-LMTP.pem ssl_key = </dovecot/ssl/ssl-LMTP.key in section protocol LMTP within 20-lmtp.conf and service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { name = dovecot_lmtp address = xx.xx.xx.xx port = 26 ssl = yes } process_min_avail = 5 } within 10-master.conf Did I miss something ? Thank you for your help. Regards, Stan

inbox parameter is ignored within location config for public namespaces?
by Dieter Knopf 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hello, i already asked a similiar question some month ago but still have no fix for my problem :-( This is my global location option in 10-mail.conf: mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/MAILDIR:INBOX=/home/vmail/%d/%n/MAILDIR/.INBOX:INDEX=/home/vmail/%d/%n/INDEX/ This works fine, until i'm using a public namespace. The following namespace is a normal user too, every mail to bos(a)foo.eu is stored in /home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/MAILDIR (within the INBOX-folder) and this directory is used for the location of the namespace. Config: namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = BOS/ location = maildir:/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/MAILDIR:INBOX=/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/MAILDIR/.INBOX:INDEX=/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/S_INDEX:INDEXPVT=/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/S_INDEXPVT/%u subscriptions = yes } The namespace itself works fine and without a problem, but the INBOX folder is the main problem. Mail users agents like Thunderbird now shows a folder structure like: BOS (grey, not useable) - INBOX (the .INBOX folder) - Other folder 1 - Other folder 2 - Other folder 3 The INBOX-config works fine for every single user, but it don't work on namespaces? Is this a bug? Thanks Dieter

A6 Yes, but be aware of the following point. A file descriptor is a reference to an open file description (see open(2)). Whenever a descriptor is duplicated via dup(2), dup2(2), fcntl(2) F_DUPFD, or fork(2), a new file descriptor referring to the same open file description is created. An open file description continues to exist until all file descriptors referring to it have been closed. A file descriptor is removed from an epoll set only after all the file descriptors referring to the underlying open file description have been closed (or before if the descriptor is explicitly removed using epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_DEL). This means that even after a file descriptor that is part of an epoll set has been closed, events may be reported for that file descriptor if other file descriptors referring to the same under‐ lying file description remain open. So the close(11) should be enough to remove the fd 11 from epoll(10) - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBVGNvlHz1H7kL/d9rAQKYcAf/dJKQGFqi8wZBwG1GevEc+DYJeZYGSUxB YOtMV+szUrVyl+vD0GZNyXKotO6/xn0gipeV1tLTZ1xIg7NIsVcJ2/DC1WENenrE YePmuuX/TQNpj7nOcQiATFtOtenqV9itwm5zrhTN1vzjyVbEnPwhVjsaOAnaUk9u HN/BdxTazDd7QTEQmJNMKJBFyg/Im0ktJpo/eAKuysv/mcZ9HOorTQhtocK7Goro YqOWacuEZVA0TUtD1hqDn9OfvEymp0oPoM8gEYON7lK4OQ9d6+hWMpkH5BG5x+7Z ZPmq9xUJW17tcbe2imKkXw+RBRNofgf5GyhMwNVoLhbOKa29tYWqXw== =yIiy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Optional mail attribute in ldap
by Alexandros Soumplis 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hello, I am using an ldap database (active directory) for dovecot authentication and I am trying to change the mail location for some users only, thus any mail should be delivered to the default location unless the ldap query returns a successful result which defines the mail variable. I have chosen the AD atttribute "otherMailbox" and added for the required user the value "=mail=mdbox:/newmailboxes/%Lu/". It seems not to work and mails still get delivered to the default location. Any suggestions ? a.

Understanding filesystem quotas
by Chris Szilagyi 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hello: I've been trying to set up filesystem quotas for IMAP, and cannot seem to get it to work. In IMAP clients it either shows quota unavailable or unknown. I've read the documentation several times. I've enabled the quota plugins and to my knowledge that part is good. I've edited the file 90-quota.conf and uncommented these lines and set them as follows: plugin { quota_rule = *:storage=1G } plugin { quota = fs:User quota:user } To my knowledge, this should enable filesystem quotas by user. However when I run "doveadm quota get -u username", it shows: Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 0 - 0 So basically all zeros. I've also tried running "doveadm -Dv quota get -u username" and don't see anything that stands out or that would indicate an issue. It shows the correct block device and such. I know filesystem quotas are working as I can run "quota username" and it shows the usage. The reason I picked filesystem quotas is because we have /var/spool/mail/username (spool file), and /home/username/mail on the same partition, and because it sounds like it's fast and doesn't require disk I/O. But I'm trying to also figure out by setting the "storage=" command in Dovecot, do I even need to set a hard and soft limit on the filesystem quota then? I would prefer to let Dovecot enforce quotas rather than rely on the filesystem quota mechanism, but keep disk I/O down. Any help would be greatly appreciated on this. Thank you. -- Chris

Using dovecot-lda with sendmail
by Chris Szilagyi 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hello: I'm trying to get dovecot-lda to work with sendmail on a CentOS 7 server. I've tried following the instructions at the wiki, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail, by adding the lines to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, recompiling to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and restarting sendmail -- the process for any sendmail config change. However it is still not working and in the maillog, it shows: sendmail[31949]: sAEM4GTt031742: to=<user@localhost>, ctladdr=<test@localhost> (1000/1000), delay=00:08:31, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=210942, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: local mailer (/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL I verified that SELinux is not interfering in this case. I see talk of having sendmail run /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda as other users, but I see that the file on my system is uid/gid as: root/root. Is there a way to get this working? Thanks much! -- Chris

Evolution clientware and Dovecot
by The Doctor 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

Dovecot wiki LMTP description
by Ron Leach 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

List, we are planning a new configuration to which we'll migrate an existing installation shortly. We are hoping to use Dovecot LMTP and have a query about the wiki entry for LMTP http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LMTP where it suggests this config: service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 192.168.0.24 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 24 } Does this example mean that LMTP will only listen for input messages from the interface with IP address 192.168.0.24 (plus localhost)? If so, I probably haven't understood how LMTP is intended to work. Is there a reason why we want to limit LMTP to listening for messages from a specific IP on the network? I need to understand that so that I replace ...24 with a suitable host interface that exists on our LAN (we don't have a host at 192.168.0.24). Apologies for what must seem, to people using LMTP, a very basic question. Nevertheless, I would be grateful for any clarification. regards, Ron

Dovecot Cur and New Directories are empty

Hi, Recently, we faced an issue with dovecot. Mail delivered to New directory, but after we used Outlook to connect with POP3 protocol, there was no email delivered to Outlook and New/Cur directory was empty.

automatically create Spam mailbox
by Cliff Hayes 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

I am trying to set up dovecot to automatically create a Spam mailbox for every user. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings shows how to do this but not what config file to put it in so I assume 10-mail.conf. When I put it in there as follows... namespace inbox { mailbox Spam { auto = create special_use = \Junk } } ... I get the following error ... doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf line 107: Unknown setting: mailbox How do I create the mailbox?

Core Dump upon startup (SEGV) - v2.2.10

In my recent messages I mentioned how I was having difficuilty in making my wife's email readable in Squirrelmail; this was solved with directory permissions. However, my usual email client is Thunderbird; I was holding off on using that as there appeared to be authentication issues. Today was my opportunity to start debugging those; it occurred to me that I might have issues with PKI and tried to make/install working certificates. When this didn't work, I though to just scrub the installation and start over. On my CentOS 7 system I erased and reinstalled from RPM. With what should have been working certificates, I ran through the config files, and then restarted to the following error: [root@dungeon dovecot]# systemctl -l status dovecot.service dovecot.service - Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dovecot.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: core-dump) since Thu 2014-11-13 19:05:52 EST; 30min ago Process: 23700 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dovecot -F (code=dumped, signal=SEGV) Process: 23695 ExecStartPre=/usr/libexec/dovecot/prestartscript (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 23700 (code=dumped, signal=SEGV) Nov 13 19:05:52 dungeon.the-leveys.us systemd[1]: Started Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server.

Migrate system users to virtual users
by Ron Leach 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

List, good afternoon, We are at the planning stage of wanting to migrate from an existing installation onto a new machine, and also to change from system users to virtual users. May I check that our ideas for user id are correct? I am not sure whether we will encounter a 'permissions' and 'user id' problem when moving from a system-user scheme to a virtual scheme. We use Maildir, and the maildirs at the moment are in their users' linux /home directories. After reading the wiki, we think that the 'single system user for vmail' arrangement, ie just one system user to manage all the mail for all virtual users, will work for us. I think that means that the permissions on all our existing 'system-user-oriented' maildirs will have to be changed (in the new machine) so that they are owned by the 'single-system-user', such as 'vmail'. One thought was to first copy the existing maildirs into the new virtual user file system tree, and then, second, change the owners and permissions on the maildirs and directories and messages to permit control by 'vmail'. From the point of view of transferring all the mail files, is that all we would have to do? (Of course, we would also have to create the virtual users and their passwords, and arrange the appropriate password lookups etc, but that's not the direct topic of this post. And that arrangement has to be compatible with the MTA, as well.) If we do copy the maildirs and change the permissions, does all the metadata that the clients, or Dovecot, use to detect new, existing, or downloaded mail remain valid? Or should we use a different approach? Grateful for any comment regards, Ron

Bug (?) while listing imap folder

Query: SELECT "INBOX" permission denied
by Don Levey 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Yesterday I was forced to migrate servers due to a hardware failure. I have been able to bring up my mail server, and set up Squirrelmail and Dovecot. I am able to access (via Squirrelmail) all users' mail except one - which happens to be my wife's, so it would be really helpful if I could get that working too. I am able to log in, but see the following message in the main pane: ERROR: Could not complete request.

Disabling SSLv3 protocol
by Timo Sirainen 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Since people are now talking about the SSLv3 security hole and how to disable it, here's a thread where you can talk about that. In Dovecot v2.1+ you can disable SSLv3 by setting: ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 In older versions you'd have to patch the source code. Attached a patch against v2.0. I don't know if there are any clients that would break by disabling SSLv3. I'd expect all the clients to use the system (or otherwise generic) SSL libraries, which would automatically choose the TLS protocol over SSL. So my guess is that unless somebody is using over a 10 year old client there wouldn't be any problems. Maybe some old mobile phones might be using SSL.. If you find out about any clients that require SSLv3 I'd like to know about it. For Dovecot v2.3 I could maybe disable SSLv3 by default if there's no real need for it. (Also: Don't be confused by SSL/TLS protocols vs. SSL port/STARTTLS, as described in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL. For example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_email_clients#SSL_and_TLS_suppo… is irrelevant here.)

New director features
by Timo Sirainen 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

I implemented a couple of larger director changes today. These could still be changed a bit if somebody has any ideas. http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/b9df3d654710 Support for director "tags", which allow creating multiple Dovecot backend groups using a single director ring. So you can mark different backend hosts with @tag names and then have passdb lookup return the wanted tag for each user. Note that because director works using user hashes, two users with the same hash can't be in different backend groups. Use "doveadm director map -u user@domain" to see which hash is used by the user@domain. http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/b9df3d654710 Added director_consistent_hashing=yes setting so users don't move around much when backend servers are added/removed. Ideally at some point this setting will be removed and directors will automatically switch to it when all the directors in the ring support it.

FTS-Solr: indexer-worker does not find mailbox
by Marc Stürmer 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Greetings, I am running Dovecot v. 2.2.13 on a Gentoo Box. Mail users are virtual, data for them is stored in a MySQL-DB, Sieve is enabled and deliver is the LDA in conjunction with Postfix. This setup has been running for a few years now without problems, the configuration works. Some weeks ago the setup was still on a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS box, and Dovecot was v. 2.0.9. I've installed a Tomcat there with Solr and configured the FTS-Solr plugin from Dovecot. Worked like a charm without any problems at all. Now the same setup on the Gentoo box does not work at all; either indexer-worker does not find the directory or is just indexing 0 messages. Solr is also installed again (v. 3.6.0) on Tomcat, and Solr is running properly. I checked it with my browser and the logs, they are showing no errors. gentoo ~ # dovecot --version 2.2.13 dovecot -n: http://pastebin.com/NqLfrbp8 dovecot-sql.conf: http://pastebin.com/KLf4pjJZ Debug log.

Virtual User Authentication
by Jerry 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

I have only "virtual users" on the system that I maintain. I am using Postfix which is configured to use Devecot for authentication. I get several attempts everyday to hack into the system, both via Postfix and directly via Dovecot. The following is from the dovecot log: Nov 11 04:14:48 auth-worker(21005): Error: pam(monica,69.193.88.146): pam_authenticate() failed: authentication error (/etc/pam.d/dovecot missing?) Now, I do not use "pam" on this system. Is there a way I can eliminate Dovecot from trying to use it? -- Jerry

Replication Advice Needed
by Asai 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

I successfully set up Dovecot replication, having 2 servers syncing with each other. While I had both servers in the same room on a Gigabit network, they were syncing fine. But I took one to another location, and syncing was turned off for about 2 weeks. Now I've turned both back on, they're sort of syncing, but not really. The one remote server is not populating emails into various folders and it really should be cranking to sync those emails. Do anyone have any insights on how we could troubleshoot this? -- --Asai

deliver an email to a large number of local users directly via doveadm
by Mahdi Mahdi 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Hello,We have a mail service that uses postfix and dovecot. We would like to send an email to a large number of users(about 100K). However, it takes too long to send the email through smtp. Is there any solution to deliver the email locally to all user mailboxes directly.dovecot uses lmtp for transfering local emails. the worst solutoin is that copy the email to all mailboxes via linux file system. But we would prefer to use some tools provided by dovecot like doveadm. is there any way to do this job?

I have a sendmail/dovecot imap/pop3 system that has been running with the following mail_location: mail_location = mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u In order to reduce errors and simplify operation I removed imap and am now only responding to pop3. I'd like to also simplify the mail_location to get rid of index errors since I don't need indexes: mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%n But when I applied the new mail_location I began to get the following five errors: Nov 6 23:17:24 sendmail dovecot: pop3(chayes): Warning: UIDVALIDITY changed (1132434125 -> 1205169149) in mbox file /var/spool/mail/chayes Nov 6 23:17:26 sendmail dovecot: pop3(chayes): Panic: Message unexpectedly expunged from index Nov 6 23:17:26 sendmail dovecot: pop3(chayes): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0() [0x3340045e2a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0() [0x3340045e6e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x3340019eb3] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0() [0x3ef62567ed] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0() [0x3ef6256e75] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0() [0x3ef62928ed] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_mail_set_seq+0x76) [0x3ef6294ae6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0() [0x3ef625698c] -> dovecot/pop3() [0x405ec7] -> dovecot/pop3(client_command_execute+0x6d7) [0x4071c7] -> dovecot/pop3(client_handle_input+0x78) [0x405618] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x36) [0x3340052c36] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xa7) [0x3340053a57] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x3340052778] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x334003e3c3] -> dovecot/pop3(main+0x283) [0x403cc3] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x359f821a05] -> dovecot/pop3() [0x403e2d] Nov 6 23:17:26 sendmail dovecot: pop3(chayes): Fatal: master: service(pop3): child 3358 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) Nov 6 23:18:00 sendmail dovecot: pop3(jbkirk): Error: open(/var/spool/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log) failed: Permission denied (euid=2151(jbkirk) egid=12(mail) missing +r perm: /var/spool/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log, dir owned by 3575:12 mode=0770) dovecot -n output # 2.1.16: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u 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 } protocols = pop3 ssl = no ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } What do I need to do to transition to the new mail_location without the errors?

Performance issue
by absolutely_free＠libero.it 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

Hi, Since few days I noticed very high load on my mailserver (Centos 6.6 64bit, 8 GB RAM, 2 x CPU 3.00GHz I am using Dovecot + Postfix + Roundcube + Nginx. I have about 10000 users. Spool is on network attached storage (Coraid). File system is ext4 (mounted with noatime). Problem appears almost every morning (while load is normal during afternoon). I suspect that this can be related to some user that have so many messages in his mailbox. How can I troubleshoot this? Here some messages that I got in maillog: Warning: Maildir: Scanning /var/spool/pop/domains/xxxx.it/YYYYYYYYY/Maildir/new took 71 seconds (1 readdir()s, 1 rename()s to cur/) Warning: Maildir /var/spool/pop/domains/zzzz/WWWWWWWWWWWW/Maildir/.Trash: Synchronization took 74 seconds (5 new msgs, 0 flag change attempts, 0 expunge attempts) dovecot: imap(xxxx(a)zzzz.it): Warning: Inotify instance limit for user 89 (UID postfix) exceeded, disabling. Increase /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances tail: inotify cannot be used, reverting to polling: Too many open files My relevant dovecot conf: mail_location = maildir:/coraid-s2l2/domains namespace { type = private separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } mail_uid = 89 mail_gid = 89 mail_fsync = never first_valid_uid = 89 first_valid_gid = 89 maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes mbox_write_locks = fcntl thank you very much!

Best practise for deleting with Thunderbird
by Stefan G. Weichinger 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

As I mentioned in another thread I set up these 2 namespaces for a couple of users: namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { location = maildir:/home/vmail/oeffentlich:INDEXPVT=/home/vmail/public/index/%d/%u/index prefix = Oeffentlich/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = public } It is planned that they all will use Thunderbird (on MS Windows) to access their mailboxes. Now when I create a folder in the public space and try to delete it via thunderbird I get something like: "Renaming not supported across non-private namespaces" As far as I found out by browsing the web this is related to Thunderbird trying to move (=rename) the mail from the public to the private namespace, correct? Setting TB to immediately remove mails (tested that, this works) seems a bit scary to me: this removes a safety layer for the users because this would also apply to their personal maildirs. Is there any more elegant way of solving this? Do I have to set up some kind of ACLs? Some kind of "public paperbin folder" ?? Pls help me to understand this better ;-) Regards, Stefan

Improvement proposal
by Jorge Bastos 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Hi, I'd like to purpose a small improvement. When a user has a quota set in message limit instead of bytes, the returning message it's the same as in bytes limit quota (Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)) If possible, when the user has the message limit, it could return something different like: Quota exceeded (max messages reached for user) Thanks, Jorge,

Dovecot quota via custom column
by Filip Bartmann 08 Nov '14

08 Nov '14

Hello, we have multiple domains connected to single user account and we want to have quota counted via this column - called account_id. Users are stored in mysql database. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iterate_query = SELECT email AS user FROM mailboxes user_query=SELECT email, 501 AS uid, 501 AS gid, CONCAT('*:storage=',quota,'M') AS quota_rule FROM mailboxes AS m WHERE email='%u' password_query=SELECT email AS user, pw_hash AS password, CONCAT('*:storage=',quota,'M') AS userdb_quota_rule FROM mailboxes AS e WHERE email='%u' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have quota stored in dovecot dictionary and as usable variables we found only - http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables. Is there any way to do use account_id as quota username? Thanks, Filip Bartmann

I'm setting up quota for my users, my users have a UID starting on >5000 and GID = 5000, and when I query the quota, for example in IMAP, I get: Nov 8 14:13:28 fastmail dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<a(a)a.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=18660, secured, session=<uByciFkH2gB/AAAB> Nov 8 14:13:37 fastmail dovecot: imap(a(a)a.com): Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/dict) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(<unknown>) egid=5000(<unknown>) missing +r perm: /var/run/dovecot/dict, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Question is, should I have the GID on the users set to 0, or is there another way to workaround it?

Virtual alias with dovecot
by Jorge Bastos 08 Nov '14

Hi, I've setup virtual alias/users/domains with postfix and dovecot, so far so good.

Dovecot replication causing deleted emails to reappear
by Asai 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

Greetings, I've set up replication successfully on two Dovecot servers. I had fully synced the servers but then took one offline for 2 weeks. When I restored it, the servers synced but ended up replacing deleted emails in random people's inboxes. I'm using maildir. Does anyone have any insights as to correcting this issue? Asai -- --Asai

Dovecot-lda permission errors or maybe authentication errors?
by Robert Kryger 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

I am a new dovecot user who recently transitioned my old mailserver to a new CentOS/Postfix/Dovecot system. I am running a simple configuration with about a dozen system users and Maildir folders. The e-mail setup seems to be running fine when I use the default local-delivery-agent in Postfix. However, I am trying to use the dovecot-lda instead so I can take advantage of the sieve functionality. I have tried to specify the dovecot-lda in two ways. First, in the /etc/postfix/main.cf file: mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT" or alternatively, I leave the mailbox_command blank and specify the following in the .forward file of a test user: | "/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda" Either approach gives me the same error(s). When a mail message is sent to the test user USER1, the following errors appear in the dovecot-lda error file: Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: chdir(/home/user1/) failed: Permission denied (euid=524(user1) egid=524(user1) stat() failed: No such file or directory, euid is not dir owner) Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: chdir(/home/user1) failed: Permission denied Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: user user1: Initialization failed: Namespace 'INBOX.': stat(/home/user1/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=524(user1) egid=524(user1) stat() failed: No such file or directory, euid is not dir owner) Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: chdir(/home/user1/) failed: Permission denied (euid=524(user1) egid=524(user1) stat() failed: No such file or directory, euid is not dir owner) Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: chdir(/home/user1) failed: Permission denied Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: user user1: Initialization failed: Namespace 'INBOX.': stat(/home/user1/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=524(user1) egid=524(user1) stat() failed: No such file or directory, euid is not dir owner) Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. At first, I interpreted this to mean the file permissions were not set correctly on the home directory or the Maildir folder. However, I have opened these up to full rwx access for everyone and I still get the same errors. Alternatively, perhaps this is related somehow to the dovecot-lda authentication process via the password or user databases, but I can't make any sense of the documentation. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong or how to better diagnose? For reference, I am running dovecot version 2.0.9. The dovecot-lda process also outputs the following messages (not errors) when a test message is sent to the USER1 account: Nov 04 08:47:29 lda: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot Nov 04 08:47:29 lda: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib90_sieve_plugin.so Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: Effective uid=524, gid=524, home=/home/user1 Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/user1/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/user1/Maildir Nov 04 08:47:29 lda: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot Nov 04 08:47:29 lda: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib90_sieve_plugin.so Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: Effective uid=524, gid=524, home=/home/user1 Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/user1/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/user1/Maildir The output of dovecot -n is: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final) auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no login_trusted_networks = 71.xx.xx.xx 71.xx.xx.xy 71.xx.xx.xz 71.xx.xx.yx mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = home/sieve sieve_max_script_size = 1M } protocols = imap lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda-errors.log mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)xxxxxxx.com }

Even better it would be to have a recipe for a custom SELinux policy to not be mislead switching off SELinux at all. Such a custom policy is necessary when storing mail in the user's homedir because files created there get a wrong SELinux context for that usecase by default. An general overview about this topic can be found on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux Kind regards Alexander

Can I take mail from Maildir mailbox and deliver it as new?
by James Pryor 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

Hello list, I have a need for someone to point me in the right direction. Our old email system (system A) had an account that acted as a mailing list accumulator/archiver. This account was a member of every list and mail would be sent to it's address. The strange part is that email was not delivered to system A because there was a . (dot) forward alias to another machine (system B) that runs sendmail. System B's sendmail then slurped up the incoming mail and processed it in some fashion which I do not care about. On our new mail server (system C (OS is RHEL6.5, dovecot-2.0.9-7.el6_5.1.x86_64, postfix-2.6.6-6.el6_5.x86_64)), I performed a bulk Linux account and mailbox migration from system A to system C using postfix/dovecot/imapsync. But I forgot to put the alias in place on system C to send all incoming that special account's mail on system B. So mail started to get delivered to local user ar_list on system C. So now I have a Maildir format mailbox on system C that has mail in it and I want to be able to manipulate and/or re-send those emails as new mail to system B. Once it is received by sendmail on system B, then I don't care about it any more. Is there a way to take mail sitting on disk in a mailbox and deliver it as if it was new mail to some other machine? Thanks, James -bash-4.1$ ls -l total 566 drwx------ 2 ar_list users 2048 Aug 7 21:29 cur -rw------- 1 ar_list users 12556 Oct 8 17:09 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 ar_list users 378880 Oct 9 14:41 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 ar_list users 2580 Oct 9 14:41 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 ar_list users 65549 Oct 9 14:41 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 ar_list users 8 Aug 7 19:38 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 ar_list users 0 Aug 7 19:38 dovecot-uidvalidity.53e40ddc drwx------ 2 ar_list users 100352 Oct 9 14:41 new drwx------ 2 ar_list users 2048 Oct 9 14:41 tmp -bash-4.1$ ls new/ | wc -l 1020 -bash-4.1$ ls cur | wc -l 25

Alexander, You are absolutely right - I apologize for my confusion regarding SElinux. In fact, when I turn off SElinux in /etc/selinux/config (setting SELINUX=disabled, instead of =enforcing) then dovecot-lda starts working. Thanks for the advice - I have been fighting with this for several weeks without making headway! Robert

gssapi considered as PLAIN?

05 Nov '14

Hello, as soon as I set "disable_plaintext_auth = yes", AUTH=GSSAPI vanishes from capabilities. ([CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=GSSAPI AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] vs [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS LOGINDISABLED]) Why? I'm wondering especially because at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Mechanisms, GSSAPI is correctly listed under “Non-plaintext authentication“. Thanks, -Harry

ntlm_auth seems ok, initial auth failure with dovecot2 (and winbind 4.1.13)
by Harry Schmalzbauer 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

Hello, I've read quite often that there are problems with ntlm_auth helper (last one here http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-June/096561.html) But haven't found any confirmation, neither it's working for anybody else nor that it's known taht this issue needs debuging. Like for ohers, my authentication tests from the commandline with ntlm_auth exactly give expected results. But initial authentication (with Outlook) fail at first, but after entering the user's password, nevertheless succeeds with mech=NTLM. See the attached ntlm-log.txt Can't exactly tell when this regression occured, one year ago nobody had to enter his password, it worked like intended with Outlook (which still is version 2010). Any idea how to debug? It could be also a regression in samba, both highly appreciated applications were upgraded at the same time… Thanks, -Harry

calling post-login script with doveadm
by Héctor Moreno Blanco 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

Hello everyone, I'm trying to execute some commands with doveadm but I need some information loaded in a post-login script before running these commands. Is possible to run the post-login script while executing doveadm? I've found how to do something similar with -o key=value to override settings, but I want to change a namespace location, as done in the post-login script: ... export USERDB_KEYS="$USERDB_KEYS namespace/archivo/location" exec env "NAMESPACE/ARCHIVO/LOCATION=$location" "$@" ...

Public mailbox confusion
by Stefan G. Weichinger 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

greets, I am quite sure I ask some faq here ... sorry, but I am confused by the many options and choices here. What I want to do is: I migrate lots of public folders from a MS Exchange Server ... The customer wants that there is a "Public" folder containing all these hundreds of folders, the public folder should be visible for all the dovecot-users and all the subfolders should be automatically subscribed as soon a new user logs in. What I have now: namespace { type = private separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/home/vmail/public:INDEXPVT=/home/vmail/public/index/%d/%u/index subscriptions = yes } As far as I see from testing this doesn't yet work that way. When I open the mailbox with eg. roundcube I see "Public" but nothing below it ... Could someone please give me a good pointer here? Thanks! Stefan

sieve replication and .dovecot.lda-dupes
by Jan Behrend 05 Nov '14

05 Nov '14

Hello list, I have a replicated dovecot with two servers. People seem to get vacation responses more often then it is specified in "days: XX", depending on which dovecot instance they receive the incoming mail. Is ".dovecot.lda-dupes" replicated? The other problem is that the vacation response is coming from the wrong address depending on which field the recipient was listed: "to:" or "cc:" Here is my test example: g9-rz has the vacation rule set up: date | mail -s test -r jbehrend(a)mpifr-bonn.mpg.de -c g9-rz(a)mpifr-bonn.mpg.de jan(a)flatpick.de and this returns this vacation response: ### snip ### Return-Path: <> Delivered-To: <jbehrend(a)mpifr-bonn.mpg.de> Received: from mail2.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de ([134.104.18.60]) by mailbox2.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de (Dovecot) with LMTP id +pgPDzm1WFSn9wAAvl5QjA for <jbehrend(a)mpifr-bonn.mpg.de>; Tue, 04 Nov 2014 12:16:13 +0100 X-Sieve: Pigeonhole Sieve 0.4.2 Message-ID: <dovecot-sieve-1415099773-541512-0(a)mailbox1.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de> Date: Tue, 04 Nov 2014 12:16:13 +0100 From: jan(a)flatpick.de To: <jbehrend(a)mpifr-bonn.mpg.de> Subject: Vacation In-Reply-To: <E1Xlc5t-0001LT-Bu(a)jb1.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de> References: <E1Xlc5t-0001LT-Bu(a)jb1.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de> Auto-Submitted: auto-replied (vacation) Precedence: bulk MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Evolution-Source: 1385020682.6450.3@jb1 Ain't here!

SSL Client authentication with trustcenter-certificate
by dovecot.pkoch＠dfgh.net 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

Dear reader, we are using dovecot 2.2.7 and like it very much. Authentication is done via a checkpassword program that does two things: 1) check wether the client has connected via SSL using a client certificate 2) check wether the client is using a one time password generator Most of our users are using certificates that we have created ourself. These certificates contain a x500uniqueidentifier. But some users are using certificates from a german trust center and these certificates do not contain a x500uniqueIdentifier nor something similar. I would like to map these certificates to user accounts and my first idea was to do so from my checkpassword programm. But how do I find out the client-certificate from within a checkpassword script. I tried to add an additional entry to auth_request_var_expand_static_tab and fill in that environment variable in auth_request_get_var_expand_table_full() (both in src/auth/auth-request.c). But where do I find the SSL-context from which I can extract the client certificate? Kind regards Peter Koch

Example records for SQL AUTH
by Jorge Bastos 04 Nov '14

Hi, Where can I get examples for the records for the "users" table? For SHA512-CRYPT, I tried: replace into users values ('a(a)a.com','a.com',ENCRYPT('b', CONCAT('$6$', SUBSTRING(SHA(RAND()), -16))),'',0,0,'true'); schema is: CREATE TABLE `users` ( `username` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `domain` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `password` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `home` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `uid` int(11) NOT NULL, `gid` int(11) NOT NULL, `active` enum('true','false') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'true', PRIMARY KEY (`username`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 Password_query: password_query = select username, domain,password from users where username='%u' and domain='%d' and active='true' What could I be missing? but logs says user is not found in userdb: Nov 3 22:17:24 fastmail dovecot: auth: Error: sql(a(a)a.com,127.0.0.1,<JIsTtvsGZwB/AAAB>): user not found from userdb Nov 3 22:17:24 fastmail dovecot: pop3: Error: Authenticated user not found from userdb, auth lookup id=3938844673 (client-pid=10240 client-id=1) Nov 3 22:17:24 fastmail dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure (pid=10240 id=1) (internal failure, 1 successful auths): user=<a(a)a.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=10247, secured, session=<JIsTtvsGZwB/AAAB>

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.5 for Dovecot v2.2.15.
by Stephan Bosch 02 Nov '14

02 Nov '14

Hello Dovecot users, Unfortunately, Pigeonhole v0.4.4 had a rather big issue with error handling and the execution of the implicit keep. This problem presented itself for example when users exceeded their quota. This did not result in the proper rejection message. This is why I quickly release a new version. Changelog v0.4.5: + Added a Pigeonhole version banner to doveconf output. This way, future bug reports will also include Pigeonhole version information. - Fixed handling of implicit keep. Last version erroneously reported that implicit keep succeeded after an earlier failure, while it in fact had failed. Particularly occurred for mailbox quota errors. - Fixed segfault occurring on SunOS systems when there is no active script. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.5.tar… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.5.tar… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Sa-learn-pipe.sh script modification
by Pierre Barre 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

Hello, I've seen on this wiki page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Antispam A script called "sa-learn-pipe.sh". I've tested it but it slow things down because dovecot wait for the script termination. So, I've made a modification. Now, the task is running in the background and dovecot move the mail without waiting for the script termination: #!/bin/bash echo /usr/bin/sa-learn $* /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt echo "$$-start ($*)" >> /tmp/sa-learn-pipe.log #echo $* > /tmp/sendmail-parms.txt cat<&0 >> /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt /usr/bin/sa-learn $* /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt && rm -f /tmp/sendmail-msg-$$.txt & echo "$$-end" >> /tmp/sa-learn-pipe.log exit 0 I want know if this can cause any problem ? Thanks. -- Best regards, Pierre Barre.

SSLv3 attack on pop3?
by Hans Morten Kind 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

We turned off SSLv3 support on our pop/imap running dovecot on Oct 16th, we did check that all users where using TLSv1 and there have been no complaints (except one old windows-phone). But at 13:00 UTC today, suddenly strange entries is seen in the logfile: Error: SSL: Stacked error: error:140943F2:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert unexpected message: SSL alert number 10 Followed by: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts in 2 secs) user=<>, rip= Some 20 ips have been seen so far, all ips are uniq and none have used our server lately. Just one resoved and it's name ends .cn, some lookups with whois leads to the same origin for all. This makes me anxious that some have made some poodle-like thing for pop3? hmk

vpopmail, open_smtp_relay and non-PLAIN auth mechs
by Jim Jagielski 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

I've noticed that if using the vpopmail auth setup, that the roaming-user functionality provided via open_smtp_relay() is only done if the auth mechanism is PLAIN. For example, if the client authenticates via DIGEST-MD5, the open relay file is not updated, as it should be. This is due to the call to open_smtp_relay only being done via vpopmail_verify_plain(). Instead, imo, that call should be done in auth_request_success() in the auth-request.c file, so that it is done however the authentication is done, as long as it is successful. Attached is a patch for 2.2.15. Let me know if attachments are not the preferred method and I'll cut/paste. tia! -- Jim Jagielski

People, I attach a screen capture of my RoundCubeMail Sent box - why does the second item on the list, which is a separate reply to the thread above it, get sorted to position 2? By the date, and being a single mail, it should be much further down the screen . . I presume it is because the Subject is the same?

Question wrt. dovecot replicator
by Remko Lodder 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hi People, I recently setup a replication service within dovecot between two machines in different datacenters, which has the following configuration; (yes it is hashed out, because I needed to) #service replicator { # unix_listener replicator-doveadm { # mode = 0666 # } # process_min_avail = 1 #} # #service aggregator { # fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { # mode = 0666 # #user = vmail # } # unix_listener replication-notify { # mode = 0666 # #user = vmail # } #} # #service doveadm { # inet_listener { # port = 12346 # } #} # ##doveadm_port = 12346 #doveadm_password = XXXXXXX #replication_max_conns = 30 # and a mail_replica = tcp:host{a,b}:12346 configuration on each host so that they are pointing to eachother; This seems to work fine for most accounts, for example: I never experienced issues with this. However, several other accounts (with a large variety of clients) got duplicated emails. Looking with doveadm I only noticed that the numbers of the messages are closely related to eachother but one number incremented. So they cannot be deleted with the deduplicator function. The replication is provided over TCP only, the connection streams over an OpenVPN tunnel so that the contents are protected, the machines are located in different Datacenters but close to eachother. How can I determine why there are duplicated emails? What kind of messages should I specifically look for? Can I set this up for a few selected accounts instead of all accounts like it was currently? To make sure I do not make things worse for others then needs to be :-) The service had been disabled for the time being to prevent the other users from getting duplicated emails. Thanks for the advice in advance!

different mail location in different namespace
by Héctor Moreno Blanco 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hello everyone, We have Dovecot 2.1.6. With different Namespaces: ... mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir ... namespace { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes type = private } namespace { inbox = no location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . hidden = yes type = private list = no } namespace { location = maildir:/buzon/archivo/%u/_ARCHIVO prefix = _ARCHIVO. hidden = yes separator = . type = private } We take the attribute "home directory" from the LDAP in the userdb attributes. We would like to modify this attribute for the Namespace ARCHIVO. For example, if a home directory is /buzon/buzon1/11111111, the mail location for ARCHIVO would be /buzon/archivo1/11111111. Is this modification possible without adding another attribute at the LDAP (just editing the attribute)? Thank you very much in advanced. Kind regards. Héctor Moreno.

Bug in the combination of Lazy_expunge and acl plugin
by Philipp Faeustlin 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hello Timo, Hello Dovecot Developers, Hello everyone on the list, I think I have some bug, because I haven't found a working configuration till now. I use latest dovecot 2.2.13 from the dovecot-ee repository, with acl and the lazy_expunge plugin. My configuration for shared folders work fine with lazy_expunge disabled. If I enable lazy_expunge and the user (named userA), which I'm testing with, got no shared folders, then lazy_expunge is working as supposed. Now I add some shared folder for example per doveadm: doveadm acl set -u userB(a)domain.de INBOX user=userA(a)domain.de lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert expunge create After that every list command fails with: Fatal: lazy_expunge: Unknown namespace: '.EXPUNGED/' '.EXPUNGED/' is the name for the namespace of lazy_expunge. Easiest way for me to reproduce the error is: doveadm mailbox list -u userA(a)domain.de which results in: ----------------- Trash Drafts Sent doveadm(userA(a)domian.de): Fatal: lazy_expunge: Unknown namespace: '.EXPUNGED/' ------------------ I hope someone can confirm this behavior and or give me some hints to get rid of it.

Bug in fts (solr?, Maildir?) incorrect last_indexed_uid
by Karl O. Pinc 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hi, I thought I should document this. (Dovecot 2.2.9, see config at bottom.) I installed dovecot and then converted a number of mbox mailboxes to Maildir, and had a number of pre-existing Maildir mailboxes. I then installed the debian (wheezy) fts-solar and jetty packages, and tested my inbox using the "telnet localhost imap ... 3 SEARCH text "test" method as described on the dovecot wiki. Everything seemed to work. But when I used balsa to search a mailbox other than my inbox, I got no results. "doveadm dump" on the searched mailbox showed that "last_indexed_uid" to be the last uid of my inbox. Stopping dovecot, deleting out the dovecot-index* files, starting dovecot, and re-running "doveadm dump" showed a non-existant last_indexed_uid -- that is, last_indexed_uid did not show up in the dump output. Using the telnet method above to attempt to search again yielded no results, but this time (I think, I also tried various times with balsa) the last_indexed_uid value was that of the last uid in my trash mailbox. I don't believe I'd yet tried fts on my trash. Using balsa as an imap client the results were very consistent; every Maildir where "doveadm dump" returned no last_indexed_uid value had the last_indexed_uid set to that of the inbox's largest uid. Running "doveadm fts rescan -u foo" fixed the problem. (FWIW, now all the Maildirs seem to have a last_indexed_uid=0.)

Renaming not supported across conflicting directory - why?
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

I wonder what is point of checkign file/dir create mode like this? Here it makes problems since some folders have different permissions than others but both are accessible/writable by user. So renaming is possible (as renaming according to unix permissions). Yet dovecot artificially prevents this. /* if we're renaming under another mailbox, require its permissions to be same as ours. */ if (strchr(newname, mailbox_list_get_hierarchy_sep(newlist)) != NULL) { struct mailbox_permissions old_perm, new_perm; mailbox_list_get_permissions(oldlist, oldname, &old_perm); mailbox_list_get_permissions(newlist, newname, &new_perm); if ((new_perm.file_create_mode != old_perm.file_create_mode || new_perm.dir_create_mode != old_perm.dir_create_mode || new_perm.file_create_gid != old_perm.file_create_gid)) { mailbox_list_set_error(oldlist, MAIL_ERROR_NOTPOSSIBLE, "Renaming not supported across conflicting " "directory permissions"); return -1; } } -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.4 for Dovecot v2.2.15.
by Stephan Bosch 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hello Dovecot users, It's been about 5 months since the last Pigeonhole release, so it is high time for a new one. However, the main reason to make a release now is the fact that Dovecot v2.2.15 has one change that causes problems with the previous release of Pigeonhole. Unlike recent earlier releases, this release has a few big new features. Most notably, I implemented a generic Sieve script storage framework. This means that it is now relatively easy to implement a storage driver to retrieve Sieve scripts from a location other than the file system. An important effect of this new implementation is that these alternative storage locations can also be used with sieve_before/sieve_after. Also, storing Sieve scripts there using ManageSieve is also possible, provided that the driver provides an implementation. I used the new framework to implement an LDAP storage driver. However, it is read-only, which means that it doesn't currently provide ManageSieve support. Several bugs were fixed. The most nasty ones were related to the doveadm-sieve plugin (which is one of the reasons why this release took so long). The new script storage driver framework entailed large changes in this plugin, so many of these problems were addressed implicitly. Hopefully, all problems are solved now. Changelog v0.4.4: * Added support for Japanese mail addresses with dots at non-standard places in localpart. * Changed handling of ENOSPACE into a normal temporary failure and added handling of ENOQUOTA as a user error. * Restructured result execution, so that all actions which involve mail storage are always committed before all others. + Implemented support for generic Sieve storages. Using alternative storages now also possible for sieve_before/sieve_after. + Implemented storage driver for retrieving Sieve scripts from LDAP. This currently cannot be used with ManageSieve. + Implemented sieve_redirect_envelope_from setting, which allows configuring the envelope sender of redirected messages. - Fixed handling of mail storage errors occurring while evaluating the input message. - managesieve-login: - Removed bogus ALERT response code returned for AUTHENTICATE command. - Fixed handling of invalid initial response argument to AUTHENTICATE command. - Fixed handling of stream errors in lexical scanner. - Fixed handling of SMTP errors. Permanent and temporary errors were mixed up. - Fixed several problems reported by CLang 3.4. - duplicate extension: Fixed erroneous compile error about conflicting tags when `:handle' argument was used last. - relational extension: Fixed error handling of `:value' match. - editheader extension: Fixed header unfolding and header iteration. - mailbox extension: Fixed the `:create' tag, which erroneously subscribed an existing folder. - extprograms plugin: Fixed handling of error codes. - doveadm-sieve plugin: Fixed several bugs. Synchronization of symbolic link in the file storage should now also work properly.

v2.2.15 released
by Timo Sirainen 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.15.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.15.tar.gz.sig Some small fixes and changes to v2.2.14. This release is mainly in the hope that it could still make it into the next Debian stable instead of v2.2.14 - mainly because of a couple of new assert crashes that started happening in v2.2.14 and should be fixed now. * Plugins can now print a banner comment in doveconf output (typically the plugin version) * Replication plugin now triggers low (instead of high) priority for mail copying operations. * IMAP/POP3/ManageSieve proxy: If destination server can't be connected to, retry connecting once per second up to the value of proxy_timeout. This allows quick restarts/upgrades on the backend server without returning login failures. * Internal passdb lookups (e.g. done by lmtp/doveadm proxy) wasn't returning failure in some situations where it should have (e.g. allow_nets mismatch) * LMTP uses mail_log_prefix now for logging mail deliveries instead of a hardcoded prefix. The non-delivery log prefix is still hardcoded though. + passdb allow_nets=local matches lookups that don't contain an IP address (internally done by Dovecot services) + Various debug logging and error logging improvements - Various race condition fixes to LAYOUT=index - v2.2.14 virtual plugin crashed in some situations

smtp lastlogin
by Eduardo Ramos 30 Oct '14

30 Oct '14

Hey guys! I've been googling without success. Do anyone know if there is a way to track last login of a smtp authentication? I've tried without success using: service auth { executable = auth lastlogin unix_listener auth-userdb { } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0660 group = postfix } } service lastlogin { executable = script-login -d /usr/local/bin/lastlogin.sh unix_listener lastlogin { user = $default_internal_user mode = 0666 } }

[Pigeonhole] Problem compiling latest snapshot
by Bernd Kuhls 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Hi, http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole/rev/a1e57385b267 added the use of update-version.sh, but this file and is-tagged.py are not included in Pigeonhole, only in Dovecot sourcecode. Therefore pigeonhole- version.h is not generated during compilation leading to a compile error: ../../../../src/lib-sieve/sieve-config.h:8:32: fatal error: pigeonhole- version.h: No such file or directory #include "pigeonhole-version.h" Regards, Bernd

Pigeonhole 0.4.4 error with no sieve rules
by James 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

I have built and installed Pigeonhole 0.4.4 with Dovecot 2.2.15. For users with no sieve at all I am getting an error on delivery. Delivery is from exim via lmtp. Syslog: Oct 28 11:03:50 mailhost dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.crit] lmtp(18915): Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 18915 killed with signal 11 (core not dumped - set service lmtp { drop_priv_before_exec=yes }) There is no global sieve script because there is no global sieve rule. Where an account has sieve rules delivery works as expected. To make it work again I've gone back to 2.2.15 with 0.4.3. James.

Dovecot 2.2.14 and per user \Seen flags
by Thomas Robers 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

Hello, I have a Dovecot Installation Version 2.2.14 on CentOS 6.5 with shared folder. UserA shares his INBOX to user UserB. I activated "per user \Seen flags" with location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=%h/shared/%%u:CONTROL=%h/shared/%%u:INDEXPVT=%h/shared I think the INDEXPVT setting activates this setting, right? I activated this setting when there were already several accounts in use. Before we used shared \Seen flags. But this setting doesn't work on my system. For example UserB marks several Messages as read in a shared INBOX from UserA and erverything seems alright but then suddenly all seen Messages are marked as unread again and I see the following error message in the log file: Oct 27 14:40:48 mail dovecot: imap(UserB(a)tutech.de): Error: /export/home/imap/UserB(a)tutech.de /shared/.INBOX/dovecot.index.pvt reset, view is now inconsistent Oct 27 14:40:48 mail dovecot: imap(UserB(a)tutech.de): Disconnected: BUG: Unknown internal error in=1020 out=2757 My Dovecot configuration is: root@mail:~# doveconf -n # 2.2.14: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final) ext4 auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/export/home/imap/%Lu/Maildir mail_plugins = acl zlib managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave duplicate mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=%h/shared/%%u:CONTROL=%h/shared/%%u:INDEXPVT=%h/shared prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = INBOX/ separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300 acl_shared_dict = file:/export/home/shared-db/shared-mailboxes mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 6 } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service imap-login { process_limit = 500 process_min_avail = 20 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 24 } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/mail.tutech.de.crt_chain ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/mail.tutech.de.key ssl_protocols = !SSLv3 !SSLv2 syslog_facility = local6 userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = acl zlib sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl zlib imap_zlib imap_acl } I don't know, is there something wrong with my configuration, am I missing sonething?

maildir++ quota support on dovecot
by Mirko ML 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Some information about maildir++ that I have read: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Maildir When I have to deliver a message with an MDA I can use dovecot-lda. If I have enabled "quota = maildir:User quota" I am pretty sure that in the mailbox on file system I find a file named "maildirsize" maildirsize on top contain something like this "xxxxxxxxxxS" that specifies the SIZE quota in bytes. LDA could delivery the message only when the SIZE written in mailbox is less than the SIZE defined by mail admin. "Each member of the list consists of an integer followed by a letter, specifying the nature of the quota. Currently defined quota types are 'S' - total size of all messages, and 'C' - the maximum count of messages in the maildir. For example, 10000000S,1000C specifies a quota of 10,000,000 bytes or 1,000 messages, whichever comes first." For this reason the value in bytes defined for the user must have S at the end. At the moment quota-maildir.c contains a control for S or C so I can find this in log: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=20971520 messages=0 But quota-util.c do not contains a control for C and S, so probably the support of maildir++ format is not complete. Please let me know if I am wrong. -- Ciao Mirko

Namespaces (or another way) to put messages in a different drive
by Paulino Michelazzo 28 Oct '14

28 Oct '14

Hello people, I have a situation where I need to create a mailbox for clients where they put old messages (> 1year) but I would like to create this mailbox in a different disk. I have a server with the mailboxes and a storage mapped using NFS just to create those mailboxes for old messages. I was trying to namespaces but every time that I make the configurations, the authentication system stop and the clients can’t log in. I really don’t know if this is the best approach for my situation (mailbox with old emails in a storage) and, if namespaces can solve it. The infos that I have are: Dovecot version 2.1.7 mailboxes: Namespace configs: namespace { type = private separator = / prefix = #location defaults to mail_location. inbox = yes } namespace { type = private separator / prefix = storage/ location = /mnt/exibstor/%u inbox = no hidden = no list = yes } If someone knows how can I do that, I really appreciate it. Best regards, Paulino Michelazzo

Sieve: carry global variables from sieve_before to user sieve scripts
by Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth 26 Oct '14

26 Oct '14

Hi! Is there a way to initialize global variables with default values in sieve_before scripts that can be used in the sieve_default script or in user scripts? I've tried the following code but this doesn't work.. before.d/10-set-defaults.sieve: -------------------- 8< -------------------- require ["variables", "include"]; require "vnd.dovecot.debug"; set "global.S_TESTVAR leo"; debug_log "LEO SIEVE: in before.d/10-set-defaults, S_TESTVAR: ${global.S_TESTVAR}"; -------------------- 8< -------------------- default.sieve: -------------------- 8< -------------------- require ["variables", "include"]; require "vnd.dovecot.debug"; global "S_TESTVAR"; debug_log "LEO SIEVE: in default.sieve: S_TESTVAR: ${global.S_TESTVAR}, ${S_TESTVAR}"; -------------------- 8< -------------------- Is there any other way to set up defaults in a global sieve script?

imap-postlogin and doveadm
by Hans Morten Kind 26 Oct '14

26 Oct '14

We are configuring location= running a bash-script during imap-postlogin setting $MAIL in $USERDB_KEYS, as described in wiki/PostLoginScripting.txt This works fine. However, running a command like 'dovadm index [-u user] folder' only works for users with settings that match the default in mail_location= Would it be possible to make the location available for doveadm in a similar way, either with command line arguments or in the enviroment? hmk

Dynamic tags in email address
by Felix Gustavsson 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

I'm trying to get dynamic tagging (user+sometag(a)example.com) to work on a mail server I'm setting up, however it only works as long as it's sent to the main user and not to aliases. virtual-alias-maps query: SELECT get_email_alias_dyn('%s') virtual-mailbox-domains query: SELECT 1 FROM domain WHERE name='%s' virtual-mailbox-maps query: SELECT 1 FROM user_alias INNER JOIN domain ON user_alias.domainID = domain.id WHERE user_alias.primary = 1 AND CONCAT(user_alias.name, '@', domain.name)='%s' "get_email_alias_dyn()" is a stored function which returns the destination email, so alias+tag(a)example.com returns user(a)example.com, alias(a)example.com returns user(a)example.com and so on. It works perfectly fine when the mail does not contain any tags (alias(a)example.com or user(a)example.com) or if it's the primary email which contains tags (user+sometag(a)example.com) but when it's tags on an alias the mail is bounced due to "user unknown". I tried modifying the dovecot service in master.cf so the addresses can be filtered with Sieve (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix) but that did not solve the issue either, so I have not idea where it goes wrong or how to solve it. I have included the logs from when I sent to alias+tag(a)example.com below: Oct 25 19:54:20 xx postfix/smtpd[10987]: connect from mail-wg0-f50.google.com[74.125.82.50] Oct 25 19:54:21 xx postfix/smtpd[10987]: 10585DFA63: client=mail-wg0-f50.google.com[74.125.82.50] Oct 25 19:54:21 xx postfix/cleanup[10995]: 10585DFA63: message-id=<CAGPeO-YcJwbRJb-Gfga+G_vKqj9cm80rMZf9LAfENRCFfxLVAg(a)mail.gmail.com> Oct 25 19:54:25 xx postfix/qmgr[9945]: 10585DFA63: from=<xx(a)gmail.com>, size=1743, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 25 19:54:25 xx postfix/smtpd[10987]: disconnect from mail-wg0-f50.google.com[74.125.82.50] Oct 25 19:54:25 xx dovecot: auth-worker(11000): mysql(127.0.0.1): Connected to database mailcp Oct 25 19:54:25 xx postfix/pipe[10998]: 10585DFA63: to=<xx+test(a)xx.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=5.4, delays=5.4/0/0/0.03, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (user unknown) Oct 25 19:54:25 xx postfix/cleanup[10995]: D39B2DFC7D: message-id=<20141025175425.D39B2DFC7D(a)xx.com> Oct 25 19:54:25 xx postfix/bounce[11002]: 10585DFA63: sender non-delivery notification: D39B2DFC7D Oct 25 19:54:25 xx postfix/qmgr[9945]: D39B2DFC7D: from=<>, size=3937, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 25 19:54:25 xx postfix/qmgr[9945]: 10585DFA63: removed Oct 25 19:54:26 xx postfix/smtp[11004]: D39B2DFC7D: to=<xx(a)gmail.com>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.195.27]:25, delay=0.24, delays=0/0/0.16/0.07, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1414259666 d8si5463492wiv.41 - gsmtp) Oct 25 19:54:26 xx postfix/qmgr[9945]: D39B2DFC7D: removed The dovecot-sql.conf.ext file looks like this: driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mailcp user=mailcp password=xxx default_pass_scheme = SHA512-CRYPT password_query = SELECT CONCAT(user_alias.name, '@', domain.name) as user, user.password as password, concat('*:bytes=', (CASE WHEN user.quota -1 THEN user.quota ELSE domain.quota END)*1000000) AS userdb_quota_rule FROM user INNER JOIN user_alias ON user.id = user_alias.userID AND user_alias.primary = 1 INNER JOIN domain ON user_alias.domainID = domain.id WHERE CONCAT(user_alias.name, '@', domain.name) ='%u' AND user.status = 1 user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/mail/vmail/', domain.name, '/', user_alias.name) as home, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, concat('*:bytes=', (CASE WHEN user.quota != -1 THEN user.quota ELSE domain.quota END)*1000000) AS userdb_quota_rule FROM user INNER JOIN user_alias ON user.id = user_alias.userID AND user_alias.primary = 1 INNER JOIN domain ON user_alias.domainID = domain.id WHERE CONCAT(user_alias.name, '@', domain.name) ='%u' AND user.status = 1

Sieve duplicate detection
by Bruce Bodger 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

Good day, Gents. We are running: dovecot 1.2.17 dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.19 dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.13 postfix 2.4.3 on OS X 10.5.8 server. Only about 15 users access the server. No problems. My question is... what would I have to upgrade, and to what version, in order to take advantage of pigeonhole sieve's duplicate detection (vnd.dovecot.duplicate) functionality? Thank you very much.

Invoking the spam checker on the sieve script
by Alejandro Exojo 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

Hi. TL/DR version: Is it advisable to invoke an spam checker from the sieve script, and then, once the message is filtered, decide if should be moved to a certain spam folder? A bit more context on why I'm considering this: I'm just a geek who wants to handle his own mail, but not a great experience as a system administrator. I don't have any corporate setup, just a simple VPS with me as the only user. Previously I fetched all my mail through POP, and in the client of my PC I moved (lots of) mailing list traffic to its folders. Then, for those remaining messages (and only those remaining) I passed the spam filter and moved to spam folder. That's a significant saving since I have many mailing list subscriptions, and now I'm even using rss2email, so I have lots of email that is not spam. I moved to IMAP and my filters are server side with sieve, but I don't have spam filtering yet. I thought I could replicate the setup easily, but it seems nobody is doing that, and everyone has the mail already scored when it reaches sieve. Seems like the "extprograms" extension would be a fit, but again, nobody seems to mention on documentation, so I'm fearing I'm probably wrong. Suggestions? Thank you very much! -- Alex (a.k.a. suy) | GPG ID 0x0B8B0BC2 http://barnacity.net/ | http://disperso.net

Properly "locking" a useraccount (on a proxy)
by Ralf Hildebrandt 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

I'm preparing a migration of several mailboxes to another machine. The different useraccounts are distributed to different backend machines by means of a dovecot LMTP/IMAP/POP proxy. Proxying is working really well (now that the kernel does as it should). But how can I "lock" a user during migration? The plan is: ============ * lock the user * kick the user (doveadm kick) * migrate mailbox (some rsync magic) * unlock the user again But how would I lock the user? What locking needs to achieve: 1) Disallow IMAP/POP login (that's easy!) 2) defer LMTP delivery somehow (Postfix is talking to dovecot's LMTP server) Because currently, we're seeing dovecot trying local delivery on the proxy machine once an account is locked (probably because LMTP proxying uses passdb lookups, and since that one is failing it's using the userdb lookup?): Oct 21 20:15:27 lmtp(87892): Error: user sys4(a)test.invalid: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mkdir(/var/mail/test.invalid/sys4/mdbox/mailboxes) failed: Permission denied (euid=10000(vmail) egid=10000(vmail) missing +w perm: /var/mail, we're not in group 8(mail), dir owned by 0:8 mode=0775) Admittedly, this is somehow working. But it's not very elegant to use a side-effect. Is the a reserved userdb/passwd return value which will let dovecot "tempfail" in a n elegant fashion? -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein

Dovecot Master/Master Replication Problem
by Felix Amler 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

Hi, I've set up 2 servers with dovecot 2.2.9 using maildir using structure: /var/maildir/domain/localpart Server A: mx1.xxx.de Server B: mx2.xxx.de Mails are delivered to dovecot only on server A by exim4/dovecot deliver replication to Server B works immediatelly: mark mail as read on server A, mail is marked as read on server B. BUT: when i mark a mail as read on Server B, noting happens. On Server A I get messages like this in dovecot-error.log: 2014-10-22 22:35:05 dsync-server(localpart(a)domain.de): Error: stat(/var/maildir/domain.de/localpart/.dovecot-sync.lock/tmp) failed: Not a directory 2014-10-22 22:35:05 dsync-server(localpart(a)domain.de): Error: Failed to access mailbox dovecot-sync.lock: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2014-10-22 22:35:05] I googled a bit, this could habben if there is a file ".dovecot-sync.lock" in the maildir, but I've double checked that, there is no such file... Why does it work in one direction, but not in the other? Please help best regards Felix

Replication .dovecot-sync.lock
by Hans-Werner Paulsen 25 Oct '14

25 Oct '14

Hello all, I have set up two servers with dovecot and replication. The mail location is mail_location = sdbox:/var/spool/mail/%u Everything works fine when I override the homedirectories userdb { driver = passwd override_fields = home=/var/spool/mail/%u } But, when I do not override the homedirectories, replication does not work, and the following error is logged: Oct 24 14:40:45 dsync-local(hans): Error: Couldn't create lock /afs/mpa/home/hans/.dovecot-sync.lock: Permission denied With a self-written module an IMAP user can get access to his homedirectory: protocol imap { mail_plugins = afsToken } The user has to type in his password. Obviously this does not work for replication. Is there a way to specify a different location for the lockfile? Isn't better to use the maildirectory but the homedirectory? Is there a way to set the homedirectory differently for replication? Thank you for any help.

Replication only sporadic
by Lucas Rothamel - Eye Catching Webdesign 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Hello dear Dovecot Gurus, I am setting up two servers with Dovecot replication as hot-standby servers for a small high availability cluster, switch-over through DNS-redirect. For testing purposes, both servers are generating a small test mail every few minutes and delivering to the local dovecot each. In my mail client, I added both servers through IMAP to watch how the replication is working. However, I noted that replication is very sporadic: sometimes a new email is received "instantaneous" by both servers, then no replication updates are visible for hours, and suddenly all missing mail appear in the other server. Why is this? Can this be changed to be more realtime? Thank you!

Sieve Advice Needed, Please
by Casey Bralla 24 Oct '14

24 Oct '14

Anybody here familiar with the Sieve language? I'm rebuilding my mail server, and I am working with the sieve language to automatically filter spam into a separate account. However, I've hit a snag that I can't get around. BTW, I'm using a clean install of dovecot, postfix, spamassassin on Debian 7.5. I want to do server-side spam filtering, so I've got spamasassin identifying spam, and then have sieve sorting the mail to a special spam folder. I can easily send spam to special folder in the inbox for each mail user, but I wanted to have a single mail account for spam. I can use the "redirect" sieve command to send anything with the X-spam-flag set, but this triggers an error and bounces the offending mail. The bounce message is: From: MAILER-DAEMON(a)NerdWorld.org (Mail Delivery System) To: casey(a)vmailservertest.nerdworld.org Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2014 16:41:49 -0400 (EDT) This is the mail system at host VMailServerTest.NerdWorld.org. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster. If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message.

I tried to get clever and prevent the recursion, but I'm not clever enough. Here is my sieve rule file. # # # A rule to move spam to the spam user # based on spamassassin setting the spam flag # # # require ["redirect"]; (Not needed, since it is part of the basis sieve spec) # # rule:[SPAM] if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" ["YES"] { if address :is "to" "Spam(a)VMailServerTest.NerdWorld.org" { keep; } else { redirect "spam(a)VMailServerTest.NerdWorld.org"; } } # # # Anybody able to give me any advice?

Been there, done that (for a different problem). Not all mail readers will show you banners; to make this really work, you have to implement USER and PASS (accepts anything), STAT and LIST (one message available), RETR (dump your informational message payload), QUIT (disconnect), maybe TOP, and everything else is an +OK no-op.

Hello, I like to enable the allow_nets Feature (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/AllowNets) for my customers. To help them knowing there own IP I imagine a special mailbox/loginuser at the pop3 server. That user could give a valid pop3 answer from a dummy pop3 server or simply throw a login error with customised answer containing the IP information. Has anybody done something similar or ideas to build such a system? Thanks for ideas Andreas

What is the correct way to configure the mail_location option for Mailidr format?
by deoren 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Short version: What is the correct way to configure the mail_location option for Mailidr format? I've long had it setup this way: mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n based on this guide: https://www.linode.com/docs/email/postfix/email-with-postfix-dovecot-and-my… Is that correct? Longer version: After upgrading from Dovecot v2.0.x to v2.2.x yesterday I'm coming to the conclusion that I've got it configured wrong. This is probably compounded by my bright idea of explicitly setting the path separator prior to the upgrade like so: separator = . Because we're using Maildir I thought it would be useful to explicitly set the separator value to what the default is for Maildir. I figured this would be a good way to remind myself what the separator is by default. I also figured while I was merging the conf changes between v2.0 and v2.2 I could roll that additional change in also. Looks like that was a bad idea to include unnecessary changes until things had stabilized. I should know better; I was too optimistic for my own good. Here is an example error message I ran into: stat(/var/vmail/example.com/username/.dovecot.lda-dupes/tmp) failed: Not a directory which is nearly identical (other than leading path) to what is shown here: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-April/048227.html Steffen Kaiser responded with, "You should not (must not) have home == maildir root." That is when I double-checked the guide that I mentioned above and found that I had followed their directions exactly for that conf setting. Looking at some other guides/tutorials shows something more like: mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir I assume the latter is how it's supposed to be done? If so, that would explain the problems I've had with Sieve scripts in the past until I explicitly set 'sieve_dir' like so: sieve_dir = /var/vmail/sieve/%d/%n/sieve_dir I did review the official docs here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir but I didn't find where it explicitly warns against setting home == maildir root. It should probably be apparent, but it wasn't to me when I first configured that setting. Thanks in advance for your help. If it turns out that the linode.com guide is wrong I'll create a Pull request to have that guide updated.

An attacker can get around this by running a botnet against you or opening up many concurrent connections (I think the latter can be capped), but I've rarely seen this. A botnet attack will defeat IP based blocking anyways. > Is it per user or per IP? Irrelevant -- there is no tracking. It's simply pauses the reply to bad auth attempts and tarpits the session. auth_failure_delay does not block BFD attacks, but makes it infeasable for reasonable strength passwords. It's simpler to implement, robust, and fault tolerant (e.g. a user cannot accidentally lock themselves out requiring administrative intervention to restore immediate access, or repeated failures from a NAT'd network does not DoS everything within the NAT'd network).

How to configure read-only access during a migration?
by Jeffrey Tunison 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hi. I would appreciate your advice about this PROBLEM: ======================================================= Find the simplest way to configure a Dovecot 2.2.10 IMAP server to access existing email users' (mbox-format) mail folders via a master_user ****in read-only mode.**** (I've got the master_user access working.) Simplest because while I'm proficient at UNIX systems administration, I'm under time pressure and dovecot has a lot of configuration flexibility. Identifying the right way to do this is proving time- consuming. Namespaces? ACL's? Passdb's? Mounting the mail-containing file systems in read-only mode did not work. (Would it have worked if I had disabled all file-locking rules (if so, how?)?) I thought it was time to bring in the dovecot wizards. You! GOAL: ======================================================= Without knowing or changing users' passwords, migrate several hundred users of dovecot IMAP to MS Exchange using the commercial product Transend. I'm manging the dovecot side, someone else is doing the Transend/Exchange piece. Migration would occur in batches due to slowness of the Transend side when dealing with users with email collections over a few gigabytes. I have a production IMAP server (dovecot 1.0.13 on 32-bit RHEL 4.9). Let's call it PROD for short. Users INBOXes are stored locally on PROD. Their other mail folders are stored on a second machine and accessed via NFS. Those other folders contain the great majority of the email to be migrated. Let's call the NFS server MIGR for short. On MIGR, I've set up a migration IMAP server (dovecot 2.2.10 on 64-bit RHEL 5.10). MIGR is a dedicated NFS server with newer hardware than PROD. It has an unused Ethernet NIC I can tell Transend to use. Both PROD and MIGR use NIS for authentication. Therefore PAM is consulted for passdb information, normally. No SQL db's used. I set up the second server (MIGR) for several reasons: 1) there are some users mail folders larger than the 32-bit file size limit found on the PROD server. 2) the bulk of the email is stored locally on the MIGR server. 3) the version of dovecot is much newer and therefore more likely to have fewer bugs and more configuration options. 4) I don't want to modify the production environment except where really necessary. Pointing Transend at MIGR instead of PROD seems like it will be faster and better. Telling end-users to use MIGR instead of PROD would allow them to verify that their email came across okay (into MS Exchange) without being able to modify the original copy of email (in Dovecot). In the days and weeks after migration. I'd like to disable access ***for a batch of users*** on the PROD server at the time the migration begins for that batch. I may need to re-enable access on PROD for certain users if the migration does not succeed. Transend has been dying on a number of test users despite tweaking its parameters in consultation with the vendor. "Corrupt" messages seem to be the issue. Users (or sysadmins) might be required to identify and delete the offending messages before we retry their migration. (Which folders and which messages are causing problems will hopefully be discernible in Transend logs.) Ha! If you've read this far, then I'd also say that I welcome any advice on changes to increase performance on MIGR, such as whether trying to minimize indexing as I've done is useful. Current configurations of the two servers follow. =========================================================================== PRODUCTION: =========================================================================== # 1.0.13: /etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imaps imap listen: *:143 ssl_listen: *:993 ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.key login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_processes_count: 20 login_max_processes_count: 500 max_mail_processes: 1524 first_valid_uid: 100 mail_location: mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecot-indexes/%u/ mbox_read_locks: dotlock mbox_write_locks: dotlock mbox_dotlock_change_timeout: 60 mbox_min_index_size: 2048 namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: Mail/ hidden: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: ~/Mail/ hidden: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: mail/ hidden: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: ~/mail/ hidden: yes auth default: master_user_separator: * verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot.deny deny: yes passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot.transend master: yes passdb: driver: shadow passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd =========================================================================== MIGRATION: =========================================================================== # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-348.18.1.el5 x86_64 Scientific Linux release 5.10 (Boron) auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_master_user_separator = * auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 100 log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_debug = yes mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/concmail/%u:INDEX=MEMORY mbox_min_index_size = 50048 B 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 = } namespace one { hidden = yes location = prefix = Mail/ separator = / } namespace three { hidden = yes location = prefix = mail/ separator = / } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/deny-users deny = yes driver = passwd-file } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot.transend driver = passwd-file master = yes } passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap service imap-login { process_min_avail = 15 service_count = 10 } service imap { executable = imap postlogin process_limit = 2048 } service postlogin { executable = script-login -d rawlog } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } deny = yes driver = passwd-file } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot.transend driver = passwd-file master = yes } passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap service imap-login { process_min_avail = 15 service_count = 10 } service imap { executable = imap postlogin process_limit = 2048 } service postlogin { executable = script-login -d rawlog } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 1000 }

dictionary attack defense
by Cliff Hayes 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Does dovecot have any dictionary attack defenses yet? In the past I have had to implement defense from outside dovecot, but since dovecot is at the front lines and therefore is the first to know I'm hoping by now there is something we can set. For example, a limit on access failures per minut/hour/day or some such. If not why not?

authenticate plain, and virtual users
by Eric Abrahamsen 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

I'm running dovecot 2.2.14 on Archlinux. I've been using it with the isync syncing utility for quite some time with no problems, using the LOGIN authentication mechanism. Recently Isync was updated to support PLAIN, and I'm having trouble moving to that. The authenticate string that isync is sending is not the one that dovecot is expecting. I suspect this is because of how I have virtual users set up on my machine. This is a personal laptop, no other users, and so I didn't want to go through the rigmarole of creating more system users just for mail accounts. I also wanted everything stored under my home directory. So my dovecot config looks like this: # 2.2.14: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.4-1-ARCH i686 auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_plugins = " fts fts_lucene" passdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } plugin { fts = lucene fts_autoindex = yes fts_lucene = whitespace_chars=@. } protocols = imap ssl = no userdb { args = uid=eric gid=users home=/home/eric/.mail/%d/%n username_format=%u default_fields = mail=maildir:/home/eric/.mail/%d/%n/mail driver = static } My /etc/dovecot/passwd looks like this: eric@ericabrahamsen.net:{PLAIN}password1 eric@paper-republic.org:{PLAIN}password2 When isync tries to log into the local dovecot using PLAIN, it sends the base64-encoded version of this string: eric(a)paper-republic.org\0eric\0password2 With my current dovecot config, telnet experimentation shows that dovecot will accept either of these two: \0eric(a)paper-republic.org\0password2 eric@paper-republic.org\0eric@paper-republic.org\0password2 Ie, either with or without the authorization ID, just like it says at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Authentication Given that I'm unlikely to be able to change how isync sends the string (and that it's really doing the right thing), are there alterations I can make to my dovecot config to get it to accept the authenticate string that isync is sending? Ideally, can I do that without having to set up system users? I've already tried using the other fields in the passwd file, putting "eric" and "eric(a)paper-republic.org" into the UID fields, just in case. No dice. Thanks in advance for any advice! Eric

Multiple user attributes in LDAP userdb query strings
by BINOTTO Luis SIDOR 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Hello list, I have an issue with dovecot and Ldap... Any help will be grateful... I have my virtual users stored in an Active Directory database. I am using 2 attributes in AD to locate the user account: mail (their primary email address) and proxyAddresses (a multivalue attribute containing their mail aliases). I also control the mount point in which the mail is located with another attribute in AD, in this case I used "pager". I have dovecot 1.2.15 and there are no immediate plans to upgrade it. I configured Dovecot's deliver process in order to integrate sieve capability. I have configured userdb ldap and passdb ldap in Dovecot and have set up master and client sockets. I am using maildir format for directory layout. The problem is to set the variables home and mail that will define the mail location. The format must be like this: home: /Mailboxes/<mount point>/<user login>/ mail: /Mailboxes/<mount point>/<user login>/Maildir So, for a particular user (Login: user1, smtp: user1(a)domain1.com, alias smtp: user1_alias(a)domain1.com) the variables will be: home: /Mailboxes/AdmUsers/user1/ mail: /Mailboxes/AdmUsers/user1/Maildir Active Directory has the values in: mail:(user1@domain1.com), proxyAddresses:(user1_alias@domain1.com), sAMAaccountName(user1). I have defined home and mail in dovecot-ldap.conf. # User attributes are given in LDAP-name=dovecot-internal-name list. The # internal names are: # uid - System UID # gid - System GID # home - Home directory # mail - Mail location # # There are also other special fields which can be returned, see # http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields user_attrs = pager=home=/mailboxes/%$/%u,mobile=quota_rule=*:storage=%$M If the mail is sent to the Principal SMTP (user1(a)domain1.com) in which the user part (%u) is the same as sAMAccountName, it works. The variable home is set correctly (home: /Mailboxes/AdmUsers/user1/). The problem is when the mail is sent to the smtp alias, in which the variable home is set incorrectly (home: /Mailboxes/AdmUsers/user1_alias/). There is a way to set two values to user_attrs?, in this case I would need to set pager and sAMAccountName (instead of %u), to it. Thanking you in anticipation...

After fixing the "duplicate compression" problem, we're now encountering "imap-login: Error: proxy(USERNAME): connect(10.x.x.178, 993) failed: Cannot assign requested address (after 0 secs, local=10.x.x.100)" in the logs.

Dovecot Auth Issue

Dear All I have been able to setup postfix and dovecot. Through command line, I can send mail out. Now I have installed roundcube in mail server side, and I am able to access like https://mydomain/webmail.com Login was failing. Then I debugged and modified settings in dovecot and using PAM for authentication. Now I trying to login to email server. I am not sure if authentication by dovecot and pam is successful. I enabled logging for dovecot. The below logs I get when a user "try" logs in.

SMTP authentication setup
by Brian 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

At my company we've had a longstanding problem of not being able to send email from devices outside of our internal network and any specific IP address that we open the relay to. As it turns out, SASL has never been set up. I need to set up SASL ASAP but none of the guides I've found seem to work. This is the latest guide I tried: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL I did everything on here minus the last part because it's on the same server. Also, instead of submission inet n - - - - smtpd I did: 127.0.0.1:1025 inet n - - - - smtpd After all is done, however, I'm unable to send any mail. Thunderbird just says sending message but doesn't send and I don't even get an error. I end up having to disable SASL again before I can send mail. Dovecot version 2.0.9 Postfix version 2.6.6 CentOS 6 I have Postfix, Dovecot, and ASSP on the same server. Thanks everyone. -- This email was Virus checked by Astaro Security Gateway. http://www.sophos.com

90-sieve.conf syntax - moving from v2.0.x to v2.2.x
by deoren 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

Hi, I'm currently running version v2.0.x in production (using Maildir storage) and it's been working well. I'm interested in moving to version 2.2.x and am preparing a test server to do so. As I have been merging the conf file changes between the two versions I noticed syntax changes for the 90-sieve.conf file. There are now 'locations' and presumably to keep referring to local content I'll need to use the 'file:' location type. On my production box (v2.0.x) I have 90-sieve.conf configured like so: sieve = /var/vmail/sieve/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve sieve_default = /var/vmail/sieve/global.sieve sieve_dir = /var/vmail/sieve/%d/%n/sieve_dir Inside of the /var/vmail/sieve/%d/%n/ directory (i.e., /var/vmail/sieve/example.com/testuser/) I find: drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 64 Oct 19 12:07 . drwxr-xr-x 9 vmail vmail 101 Jun 21 10:47 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 vmail vmail 25 Jun 21 11:10 .dovecot.sieve -> sieve_dir/roundcube.sieve -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 3694 Oct 19 12:07 .dovecot.svbin drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 38 Oct 19 11:58 sieve_dir and that works well. I look at the current wiki documentation: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration and I find that the 'seive_dir' conf option is still listed, but the comments for it appear very similar to the comments that precede the 'sieve' conf option in the stock 90-sieve.conf file: # The location of the user's main Sieve script or script storage. The LDA # Sieve plugin uses this to find the active script for Sieve filtering at # delivery. The "include" extension uses this location for retrieving # :personal" scripts. This is also where the ManageSieve service will store # the user's scripts, if supported. Assuming that the 'sieve' and 'sieve_dir' conf settings have not been merged into just 'sieve' (and that I need to use the 'file:' location specifier), is this how I would configure the two settings for Dovecot 2.2.x? sieve = file:/var/vmail/sieve/%d/%n;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = file:/var/vmail/sieve/%d/%n/sieve_dir If the two have been merged, how would I go about configuring the 90-sieve.conf file to get the same results? Thanks for your help.

replication sieve settings
by Martin Schmidt 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

Hello, can someone give me a hint, where to find an info, how to setup dovecote replication with sieve? On my active.active setup, it replicates the user mdboxes and sieve works also, on the active destination fileserver. Client changes the sieve, tests work fine. But the sieve file won't get replicated to the replica server. As i've researched, it was introduced in dovecot v2.2.rc3 Is it default, that doveadm replicator replicate '*' includes the sieve and i made a config error? Or is there an option to set for the replication service? On dovecot director server, i've set director in conf.d/20-managesieve.conf service managesieve-login { executable = managesieve-login director inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } and added sieve to plugins in conf.d/20-lmtp.conf protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve } doveconf -n ... director_mail_servers = 192.168.200.10 192.168.200.11 director_servers = 192.168.200.1:9090 192.168.200.2:9090 disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_port = 24245 lmtp_proxy = yes managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave duplicate plugin { sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve pop3" ... service managesieve-login { executable = managesieve-login director inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ... protocol lmtp { auth_socket_path = director-userdb mail_plugins = " sieve" } ...

fixes for quota support on NetBSD
by Thomas Klausner 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

Hi! dovecot-2.2.13 already has quota support for NetBSD, but it's buggy. The attached patches by Manuel Bouyer <bouyer(a)NetBSD.org> fix the issues. There is one thing that's not nice in them: one include is now for "/usr/include/quota.h" since dovecot comes with its own file "quota.h" which is earlier in the search path. Perhaps dovecot's copy can be renamed to dovecot-quota.h or to some other non-conflicting name? Cheers, Thomas

last_login plugin with MySQL
by Luigi Rosa 20 Oct '14

Hi, I have a Dovecot test installation with MySQL userbase and authentication where I am trying to setup last_login plugin with SQL dictionary I read http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/LastLogin and I addes this to my configuration plugin { last_login_dict = sql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } mail_plugins = $mail_plugins stats protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_stats last_login } When I log in with IMAP I get this error: Error: last_login_dict: dict_init(sql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext) failed: Unknown dict module: sql /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext is the file taht contains the SQL configuration. If I put mysql instead of sql the result is the same: Error: last_login_dict: dict_init(mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext) failed: Unknown dict module: mysql The output of doveconf -n follows. Do you have any idea on how to use MySQL for last_login?

Maybe I'm able to reproduce the problem. :-) It's Solaris10 nroff, and GNU groff 1.19.1. Ancient stuff so I wouldn't spend too much time looking at it.

Fwd: Re: Wiki advice on running getmail on INBOX access - how does that work?

Just re-tried this, and it doesn't seem to fire getmail on access for me. My incrontab is as follows: /home/user/Maildir/cur/ IN_ALL_EVENTS,IN_ONESHOT /home/user/bin/mvmail.sh The incrontab rule does work, but only if I make a physical change in /home/user/Maildir/cur/ e.g. by moving a mail from another folder in there. Just accessing the particular inbox doesn't seem to trigger anything.

sieve folder separator
by Thomas Koch 19 Oct '14

19 Oct '14

Hi, I'm moving from one email provider (me) to another (mailbox.org) and observed that the new provider uses "/" instead of "." as a folder separator. Now I need to adapt my sieve script. It's not too much work and I can even just define a variable at the beginning of my script: set "SEP" "/" But it would be great, if SIEVE would come with a predefined constant for the folder separator. Or does this already exists and I didn't find it? Thank you, Thomas Koch

Hi, I'm currently running getmail in a cron job every 2 minutes, so I was quite intrigued by this on the wiki: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/TriggerGetmailOnIMAPAccess Thing is - I couldn't see how it would work and, when I tried it, it didn't work (at least not for me). It details using incrontab to monitor /home/username/.maildir/cur in order to trigger getmail. However, "cur" won't change unless populated with mail...as an initial result of actually running getmail? Seems like a chicken and egg situation. I reckon I'm missing something fundamental :-), but what is it? Ta.

[Dovecot] Disk Encryption
by Simon Brereton 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

Hi As I understand it email headers need to be unencrypted (otherwise DKIM doesn't work). From the MUA to either Postfix, or Dovecot the connection is (or can/should be) secured with TLS/SSL. What I would like to know is if it is possible to encrypt the mailstore? Postfix is using Dovecot for delivery so it's only Dovecot that would need to encrypt/decrypt the mailstore. Is this possible? Is there a terrible reason to do it even if it is possible? I realise that from MTA to MTA there's no guarantee of encryption (and in fact it's very unlikely unless keys have been exchanged), but my primary goal is supplement the physical security of the mail store of mails we already have or have sent. Mostly just idle curiosity as to what has been done, or what could be done. What is worth doing is a separate thread entirely. Thanks. Simon

High memory usage
by Hanna Ruotsalainen 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

Hi I recently (about 2 weeks ago) moved over my users over to a new version of dovecot (2.0.9) and now the memory usage on the new server seems much higher than it was before. The new server is a CentOS 6 VM with 4 GB of RAM and 4 CPUs and according to top, it's used up all of the RAM and all of the Swap. Here's a sample of the output from top (sorted by allocated memory). top - 10:42:36 up 22 days, 21:57, 1 user, load average: 1.04, 1.40, 1.52 Tasks: 1643 total, 1 running, 1642 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.7%us, 0.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 93.3%id, 5.1%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.1%si, 0.0%st Mem: 3924432k total, 3779236k used, 145196k free, 23740k buffers Swap: 4063228k total, 3181164k used, 882064k free, 156420k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 16738 root 20 0 399m 182m 436 S 0.0 4.8 5:50.58 config 18790 dovenull 20 0 54528 11m 2036 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.05 imap-login 22277 dovenull 20 0 54528 11m 2156 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.04 imap-login 22796 dovenull 20 0 54528 11m 2140 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.03 imap-login 22749 dovenull 20 0 54528 11m 2148 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.03 imap-login 22825 dovenull 20 0 54528 11m 2156 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.03 imap-login This is with 1015 imap processes and 484 imap-login processes. The old version was 1.0.rc15 and running on a CentOS 4 box with 2GB of RAM. It was overloaded but the RAM usage wasn't maxed out like this one is (not much swap usage and a large amount of cached memory). Is this amount of memory usage normal?

replicating (manage)sieve - no symlink on replica?
by Philipp 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

2.2.13/0.4.2, both from source-tarball, no fancy options. tcp-replication between two nodes and following plugin parameters (same on both sides, except the ip-addr) plugin { sieve_before = /home/ssfn/etc/dovecot/sieve.default sieve_global_dir = /home/ssfn/etc/dovecot sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/.sieve sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.duplicate sieve_duplicate_period = 6h mail_replica = tcp:10.66.50.15:9993 } mail_location = sdbox:/home/ssfn/var/mail/boxes/%n mail_home = /home/ssfn/var/mail/boxes/%n Testbed: user getting first email delivered, the subdir %n/.sieve/tmp is automatically created as expected. User logs into managesieve on node1 and uploads a script. The %n/.sieve/managesieve.sieve and the symlink .dovecot.sieve -> .sieve/managesieve.sieve is created as expected.

Re: Unable to get virtual users set up with database auth
by Gedalya 17 Oct '14

When you reply, try to make sure you reply to the list (dovecot(a)dovecot.org) in Thunderbird you should have a Reply List button, or just use reply to all. btw I meant: the output of the 'dovecot -n' command, sorry :D OK so, first of all, lda doesn't do any passdb lookup at all, only userdb. It doesn't have any password to check. Just as a comment, your password query could just as well be: password_query = SELECT uPass as password FROM users WHERE uName = '%n' AND uDomain = '%d' auth_username_format = %Lu -- which I believe is set by default, would lowercase the username for you on the way in from the client, so if all your usernames are meant to be purely lowercase, there is no need to return these fields from the database. Set it explicitly just to be sure. You're using a somewhat old version, I'm not sure how it was back then. Either way, this shouldn't be affecting lda. Now, this seems to be wrong. mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/mail/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u You probably want it more like: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u The first value, ~/mail, will be a /mail directory under the 'home' directory set in your static userdb, and that's where mailboxes (folders) other than INBOX will be stored. It must be a directory, not a file! I'm a little confused about some of the other details in your log. Let's try to correct your mail_location first and see where that takes us. Also, under namespace, you might as well comment out the 'location = ' and 'prefix = ' lines, though I'm not sure it matters.

dsync duplicating identical messages
by Bruno Viaris 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Dear list, I’m trying to setup dovecot/postfix/getmail for a single user application: I have 3 email accounts and 2 main computers (home and work). I want to have an imap server on each machine with sync/replication so that read/reply/delete status and sorting into folders are identical. This part is achieved via dsync and seems to work. Messages are fetched from my ISPs with getmail on both machines. The problem I have is that dsync does not see that a message already fetched on both sides is identical, and duplicates it. I use sdbox (because I like the compression option and the separate storage of attachments). The content of the messages (headers and body) are identical, but the sdbox files have differences in the header and/or trailer. In fact, for each incoming message, I get 4 slightly different files (2 on each machine). Do you know where I could find documentation on how dsync compares messages, and also on sdbox file format ? If you explain me that there is no way to prevent this duplication and that anyway dsync does the right thing, I will probably use getmail only on one machine and let dsync propagate the messages to the other site, but I will miss the redundancy (and some speed) of my wished setup... Thanks -- Bruno P.S. : Background: Home has DSL with 10 MBit/s down and 1 MBit/s up, and full control over NAT / firewall Work internet access is limited by the 100 MBit LAN and has strict firewall and complicated VPN. So it is not easy for my home email client to access the imap server of my work machine, and it is slow for my work email client to access my home imap server. I don’t trust any company for archiving my emails.

Unable to get virtual users set up with database auth
by Cliff Hayes 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

I can't seem to get imap virtual users to work with database authentication on new Scientific Linux 6.5 server with Sendmail 8.14.4 & Dovecot 2.0.9 Apparently I have to also create system users because sendmail/procmail/dovecot want to check directory ownership. So I created a database, made entry for the user, created the user chayes on the system. But %u always contains just chayes instead of chayes(a)domain.tld even though I tried different select statements to put the entire username in the username field. This causes the following errors: Oct 16 00:10:26 avalon sendmail[2536]: s9G5APo9002535: forward /var/spool/mail/chayes(a)domain.tld/chayes/.forward.avalon: Group writable directory Oct 16 00:10:26 avalon sendmail[2536]: s9G5APo9002535: forward /var/spool/mail/chayes(a)domain.tld/chayes/.forward: Group writable directory Oct 16 00:10:26 avalon dovecot: lda(chayes): Debug: Effective uid=497, gid=497, home=/var/spool/mail/chayes(a)domain.tld/chayes Oct 16 00:10:26 avalon dovecot: lda(chayes): Debug: Home dir not found: /var/spool/mail/chayes(a)domain.tld/chayes Oct 16 00:10:26 avalon dovecot: lda(chayes): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=, sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mbox:/var/spool/mail/chayes:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/chayes Oct 16 00:10:26 avalon dovecot: lda(chayes): Debug: fs: root=/var/spool/mail/chayes, index=, control=, inbox=/var/spool/mail/chayes Oct 16 00:10:26 avalon dovecot: lda(chayes): Error: user chayes: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mbox: mbox root directory can't be a file: /var/spool/mail/chayes (http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Mbox) Oct 16 00:10:26 avalon dovecot: lda(chayes): Fatal: Invalid user settings.

[Dovecot/VirtualUsers/VirtualMailBoxes] No mails into mua
by aleskandro 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Hi all, I've configured postfix with multiple host and virtual mailboxes (main.cf is here: http://pastebin.com/798VVxbv) So I can receive email to vuser(a)mydomain.tld into /var/mail/vhosts/mydomain.tld/vuser file. Now I'm configuring dovecot 2.2.13-r1; this is my dovecot -n and /etc/dovecot/passwddir/mydomain.tld/passwd: http://pastebin.com/b4xcjj7t - The auth and server subscribe from a mua is ok and in the vuser file there are some mails but I can't see them in my mua. mail.log doesn't report any error. Where I'm wrong? Aleskandro

Strange quota warning behavior
by Gordon Grubert 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Hi, we are using dovecot 2.2.14. So far, we used the following quota warning configuration quota_rule = *:storage=10G quota_warning = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %n quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %n quota_warning3 = storage=70%% quota-warning 70 %n This works fine. Now, we wanted to add the all clear feature for the quota warning by adding this line: quota_warning4 = -storage=70%% quota-warning 70 %n below The result is really strange. Test 1: 70% exceeded: warning3 executed => OK fall below 70%: quota_warning2 executed => NOT OK quota_warning4 executed => OK Test 2: 70% exceeded: warning3 executed => OK 80% exceeded: warning2 executed => OK fall below 80% (but still more than 70%): quota_warning executed => NOT OK fall below 70%: quota_warning2 executed => NOT OK quota_warning4 executed => OK At the moment, we are running the minimal configuration quota_warning = storage=70%% quota-warning 70 %n quota_warning2 = -storage=70%% quota-warning 70 %n below working like expected (warning when exceeding 70% and all clear when falling below 70%). Does anybody know if there is an error in our configuration or maybe, could this be a bug in dovecot? Best regards, Gordon -- Technischer Leiter & stellv.

index problem with only 1 folder of 1 box
by Guillaume 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Hello, First of all, sorry for my poor english level. I pass to solr indexing. All is OK, except for the inbox of one of the mailboxes. For this inbox (other folders of the same mailbox have no problems), when i do text search, there is always no response. Others mailboxes have no problems. If i do a : "doveadm -Dv fts rescan -u mybox(a)domain.tld", i can do one and only one search with the correct response. It index the folder, take a few seconds and give me the good answer.

pop3-login segfaulting
by James Shewey 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

I upgraded dovecot from v1 to v2 as part of a CentOS upgrade (5.6->6.5) and am now running on 2.0.9. Any time I connect to the pop or imap ports however I get "master: Error: service(imap-login): child 2860 killed with signal 11 (core not dumped - add -D parameter to service imap-login { executable }" after following the core dump instructions at http://www.dovecot.org/bugreport.html. The problem is that I'm not sure how these processes are spawned in order to add the switch. Can I spawn them directly? If so, I ought to be able to do an strace to track down the issue as well.

mmap_disable=yes not honored always
by Peter Benko 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Hi all, I'm experimenting with having the mail store on a 9p file system that lacks mmap() functionality. So I disabled it in dovecot: mmap_disable = yes However, I keep getting the following error messages in my log: Oct 15 16:55:00 computer-name dovecot: imap user(a)domain.com[192.168.1.3] Error: mmap() failed with file /mail/mailboxes/domain.com/user/indexpvt-accounts/other-user/mailboxes/INBOX/dovecot.index.pvt.log: Invalid argument I only get those messages for the shared folder's private indexes. This setup works perfectly on an ext2/3/4 fs. Any opinions, is this a bug? Is mmap_disable not mandatory for all operations? Best regards, Peter

Request to list owner

Hi list owner, Sorry for this. Is it possible to change the reply-to in mailman to be the list, and not the person who replied? Also the [Dovecot] on the subject would be handy. Just two things to get better. Thanks,

permissions when moving mails
by Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Hi! I am using Unix groups to control access to shared mailboxes. This works fine as long as files are not moved between mailboxes that are owned by different groups. The move operation doesn't change group ownership of the mail. Is there a way to force dovecot to e.g. inherit the ownership from the parent folder, not only for new messages bot also for messages moved from one folder to another? The wiki says: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions -------------------- 8< -------------------- When mails are copied between Maildirs, it's usually done by hard linking. If the source and destination directory permissions are different, Dovecot create a new file and copies data the slow way so that it can assign the wanted destination permissions. The source and destination permission lookups are done only by looking at the mailbox root directories' permissions, not individual mail files. This may become a problem if the mail files' permissions aren't as Dovecot expects. -------------------- 8< -------------------- Does dovecot only look at the permissions or does it also take user/group ownership into account? The behavior I experience is that even though the mailbox directories are owned by different groups, dovecot doesn't copy the mails. (See my example below.) Setting maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = no seems to fix the problem but maybe this behavior should be considered as a bug? I am using dovecot 2.2.14 and maildir mailboxes. Cheers, --leo P.S.: Here is an example of the current behavior: before the move from PAS to GSD: -------------------- 8< -------------------- GSD/.Eingang/cur/: total 0 drwxrws--- 2 nobody gsd 6 Oct 13 13:46 . drwxrws--- 5 nobody gsd 81 Oct 15 09:41 ..

Dbox and Exim
by C Peters 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

The Dovecot wiki [1] doesn't list either Exim, Postfix or anything else as supporting the dbox. I did some searching in the Exim archives and have found only one message mentioning dbox, sdbox or mdbox. [2] I think an RFC would go a long way towards getting the format supported. Has Timo, or anyone else, considered submitting an RFC to the IETF? My question was how are we going to use it if Exim doesn't support it. It looks like we can filter it and convert it with dovecot-lda. [3] I have generally avoided using Procmail for a few years because of various problems and it's a dead software project that hasn't been developed in what 15 to 20 years. I am thinking about trying it with Exim's built in Maildrop filtering support. Has anybody tried that? What else are people using to enable dbox? The more specific question on the problem I am trying to solve. I have been using mbox for years, and I can't even get Dovecot, IMAP and Thunderbird working on the LAN because it can't handle the GB's of old mail. Mutt works on the local machine, but I want something that works while I am using something other than ssh and mutt. For example I want to try Mailpile and K9. I would like to try dbox, but given it's lack of support in Exim or Postfix, I'll probably convert to maildir. Thanks, Chuck 1. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat 1. https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20110220.014144.87010abd.en.html Thread view: https://lists.exim.org/lurker/thread/20110216.223226.015539ba.en.html#i2011… 2. http://ramblings.narrabilis.com/mdboxprocmail

bandwidth shaping
by Alan Bailward 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hey all, sorry if this has been asked before, but I haven’t really found a good solution. I have a mac at home and randomly, maybe once a week or once a month, Mail.app will go crazy and use as much bandwidth as I have to pull down mail. I’m not home so I can’t tell what it’s done or why, and sometimes it stops after an hour, sometimes it goes all night, leaving me with a potentially big bandwidth bill for my colo’d server which hosts my mail (dovecot 1.2.9, postfix 2.7.0 on Ubuntu LTS 10.04). I’m wondering if there’s a way to restrict bandwidth that’s the “accepted” and proper way with dovecot? There isn’t anything (AFAICT) built into dovecot, and the alternative seems to be setting up bandwidth shaping with ‘ip’, but that is a pretty horrible nest of ugliness. Is there a fairly simple setup to set it so imap/pop traffic can only ever use 1mb/s (or some arbitrary number)? I’m not looking for a one liner, but each time this happens I say “I’m going to figure this out and fix this”, then get lost in ip and shaping queues and give up in frustration until the next time it happens, when I say “I’m *really* going to figure this out this time…”. Anyone have any pointers? TIA Alan

auth-worker goes wild
by Hans Morten Kind 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

dovecot-2.2.13 running on Solaris-10, app 5000 concurrent connections, and a pretty standard config where passdb is set up with driver = pam. We have had some situations where an auth-worker gets into a loop, the load on the server rises and the auth-master seems blocked untill finally no new imap nor pop session are accepted. A 'doveadm reload' restores normal operations. With debug logging enabled we are observing this: auth: Debug: pam(,10.10.30.33,<7WMu3UkEGQCBsR4h>): cache miss auth-worker(24556): Debug: pam(,10.10.30.33): lookup service=dovecot auth-worker(24556): Debug: pam(,10.10.30.33): #1/1 style=2 msg=Please enter user name: ... auth-worker(24556): Debug: pam(,10.10.30.33): #1/1 style=2 msg=Please enter user name: etc etc After some time dovecot only logs Warning: Auth process not responding, delayed sending initial response (greeting) Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 26 secs) 'truss -wall -aep PID' on the looping auth-worker shows the loop: 0.0757 write(2, 0x080AE0C0, 71) = 71 0101 2 4 5 5 6 p a m ( , 1 0 . 1 0 . 3 0 . 3 3 ) : # 1 / 1 s t y l e = 2 m s g = P l e a s e e n t e r u s e r n a m e : \n 0.0826 write(2, 0x080AE0C0, 71) = 71 0101 2 4 5 5 6 p a m ( , 1 0 . 1 0 . 3 0 . 3 3 ) : # 1 / 1 s t y l e = 2 m s g = P l e a s e e n t e r u s e r n a m e : \n The host at 10.10.30.33 is running RoundCube for app 1000 concurrent users.

With the enclosed patch installed, the loop terminates and normal operation are restored immediately: auth: Debug: pam(,10.10.30.33,<Q8kV6AEFYwCBsR4h>): cache miss auth-worker(18658): Debug: pam(,10.10.30.33): lookup service=dovecot auth-worker(18658): Debug: pam(,10.10.30.33): #1/1 style=2 msg=Please enter user name: auth-worker(18658): Fatal: NO USER? auth-worker(18658): Error: Raw backtrace: 0xfef0798c -> 0xfef06d3b -> 0x807ca6e -> 0xfecc460e -> 0xfecc1d1e -> 0xfe3c0af4 -> 0xfecc2608 -> 0xfecc27f1 -> 0x807cc5e -> 0x807d162 -> 0x807d310 -> 0x8069ca1 -> 0x806ab72 -> 0x806aeec -> 0xfef1e866 -> 0xfef2001c -> 0xfef1e9ff -> 0xfef1e956 -> 0xfeeb0172 -> 0x8071bf2 -> 0x805a650 auth: Error: auth worker: Aborted PASSV request for : Worker process died unexpectedly I think however, that the pam driver should not have been initiated when the username has zero length, definitely there is nobody around to answer the prompt for a username ... hmk

Doveadm quota recalc sets quota for wrong quota root
by Rick van den Hof 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hi, In our setup, we use two quota roots. One for user quota and one for domain quota. If a user has no quota, then the domain quota is applied. For a user with user quota this is how it looks: # doveadm quota get -u test(a)shellz.nl Quota name Type Value Limit % Domain quota STORAGE 1439155 2560000 56 Domain quota MESSAGE 21257 - 0 User quota STORAGE 0 102400 0 User quota MESSAGE 0 - 0 In this case, the whole domain contains 21257 messages but the account itself contains 0. For a user with only domain quota, this is how it looks: # doveadm quota get -u rick(a)shellz.nl Quota name Type Value Limit % Domain quota STORAGE 1439155 2560000 56 Domain quota MESSAGE 21257 - 0 User quota STORAGE 693299 - 0 User quota MESSAGE 12876 - 0 So far so good. My account contains 12876 messages. Now I've sent a message containing a 1mb.bin as attachment to test(a)shellz.nl: # doveadm quota get -u test(a)shellz.nl Quota name Type Value Limit % Domain quota STORAGE 1440540 2560000 56 Domain quota MESSAGE 21258 - 0 User quota STORAGE 1384 102400 1 User quota MESSAGE 1 - 0 Seems to be fine, the message on disk is indeed 1.4MB and this has been added to both domain and user quota. Now see what happens when I run the following command: # doveadm quota recalc -u test(a)shellz.nl # doveadm quota get -u test(a)shellz.nl Quota name Type Value Limit % Domain quota STORAGE 1384 2560000 0 Domain quota MESSAGE 1 - 0 User quota STORAGE 1384 102400 1 User quota MESSAGE 1 - 0 The recalc action has updated the domain usage to reflect the specific user's usage (my 12876 messages are no longer counted). We log domain usage (usage_domain) in a seperate table from mailbox usage (usage_mailbox). These are the queries that set the usage: 256 Query BEGIN 256 Query DELETE FROM usage_domain WHERE domain = 'shellz.nl' 256 Query DELETE FROM usage_domain WHERE domain = 'shellz.nl' 256 Query INSERT INTO usage_domain (bytes,domain) VALUES ('1418118','shellz.nl') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE bytes='1418118' 256 Query INSERT INTO usage_domain (messages,domain) VALUES ('1','shellz.nl') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE messages='1' 256 Query COMMIT 257 Query BEGIN 257 Query DELETE FROM usage_mailbox WHERE userdomain = 'test(a)shellz.nl' 257 Query DELETE FROM usage_mailbox WHERE userdomain = 'test(a)shellz.nl' 257 Query INSERT INTO usage_mailbox (bytes,userdomain) VALUES ('1418118','test(a)shellz.nl') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE bytes='1418118' 257 Query INSERT INTO usage_mailbox (messages,userdomain) VALUES ('1','test(a)shellz.nl') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE messages='1' 257 Query COMMIT How do I prevent this from happening? It should only update the usage_mailbox table when I run the recalc command. Could this be because we use seperate tables for domain and user usage? dovecot -n: # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.13.0-37-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890+=_.-@& dict { expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-expire.conf quotadomaindict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-quota-domain.conf quotauserdict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-quota-user.conf } disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = *,[::] mail_fsync = never mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = quota expire managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-user.conf driver = sql } plugin { expire = Trash expire2 = Spam expire_dict = proxy::expire mail_log_events = delete copy save expunge mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size quota = dict:Domain quota:%d:proxy::quotadomaindict quota_rule2 = Trash:ignore quota_warning = storage=99%% doquotawarning 99 %u quota_warning2 = storage=95%% doquotawarning 95 %u quota_warning3 = storage=75%% doquotawarning 75 %u quota2 = dict:User quota::proxy::quotauserdict quota2_rule2 = Trash:ignore quota2_warning = storage=99%% doquotawarning 99 %u quota2_warning2 = storage=95%% doquotawarning 95 %u quota2_warning3 = storage=75%% doquotawarning 75 %u } protocols = imap pop3 service auth-worker { unix_listener auth-worker { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { mode = 0600 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = vmail } service dict { unix_listener dict { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service doquotawarning { executable = script /usr/bin/doquotawarning.py unix_listener doquotawarning { user = vmail } user = vmail } service imap-login { chroot = process_limit = 200 process_min_avail = 2 } service imap { executable = imap postlogin } service managesieve-login { chroot = } service pop3-login { chroot = process_limit = 50 process_min_avail = 2 } service pop3 { executable = pop3 postlogin } service postlogin { executable = script-login /usr/local/postfixint/dolastlogin.py user = $default_internal_user } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/wild.totaal.net/wild.totaal.net.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM ssl_key = </etc/ssl/certs/wild.totaal.net/wild.totaal.net.key userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-user.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota mail_log notify expire } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = quota expire pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_logout_format = top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s, bytes=%i/%o pop3_uidl_format = %f } protocol lda { deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ mail_fsync = optimized mail_plugins = quota sieve expire postmaster_address = hostmaster(a)vps04.totaal.net rejection_reason = Your message to <%t>' was automatically rejected:%n%r } dovecot-sql-quota-domain.conf: connect = xxx map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = usage_domain username_field = domain value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = usage_domain username_field = domain value_field = messages } dovecot-sql-quota-user.conf: connect = xxx map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = usage_mailbox username_field = userdomain value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = usage_mailbox username_field = userdomain value_field = messages } Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to shed some light in this situation :).

Sorry for the replay to sender instead of the list. As I originally wrote, my need is script or a command like the old Expire_mail.pl that parse a local mbox folder and move/copy mail older than NN days to another local mbox folder. Probably for a Perl programmer is only matter of modify this script or something similar. I searched in docs, wiki, ... but not noticied something that can simply be inserted in a cron job to do the work. Only migration tools or complex (for me), library that can be used to manipulate folders :-) Thanks, F.

[Pigeonhole Sieve interpreter] :create argument and lda_mailbox_autosubscribe setting
by Vivien Lacourba 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

Hi, I am using dovecot and dovecot-sieve packages from Debian Wheezy (2.1.7-7+deb7u1). I noticed that while using ":create" (from the mailbox extension) in my Sieve filter and "lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes" in Dovecot's LDA config it automatically subscribes to the destination mailbox even if that mailbox already existed. Reading Dovecot's documentation and the mailbox extension RFC it seems subscription should happen only if it is a newly created mailbox and should not happen if the mailbox already existed. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5490#section-3.2 [[ 3.2. ":create" Argument to "fileinto" Command (...) If the mailbox already exists, this argument is ignored. (...) ]] /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf [[ # Should automatically created mailboxes be also automatically subscribed? lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes ]] Also I noticed that if I don't use ":create" in my filters and instead set "lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes" in Dovecot's LDA config, then this time the behavior looks correct as the automatic subscription will only happen for a newly created mailbox.
