mdbox: purge only if it's worthwhile
by Sven Strickroth 12 Aug '22

12 Aug '22

Hi, with the mdbox storage one needs to regularly run purge to really clean up deleted mails from the storage. Running purge can be an IO intensive task as the files are append-only and even if in a 10 MB mdbox file only a small mail is deleted all other mails need to be copied to a new file. Therefore, I wonder whether there is the option to apply a threshold before a mdbox file is cleaned up, e.g. only purge an old mail if this affects > 10% of the mdbox filesize or if at least X bytes will be freed in an mdbox file. Is this possible ATM? Otherwise this can be seen as a feature request. Best, Sven PS: From the docs it's unclear to me how the mdbox rotating algorithm works. Is only to the latest mdbox file appended or it is possible that a small mail might be appended to an older mdbox file?

pre-define or alter list of IMAP keywords
by spi 11 Aug '22

11 Aug '22

I am using Dovecot 2.3.4.1 with sdbox and mostly Thunderbird on Linux and FairEmail on Android as IMAP clients. I use a defined set of IMAP keywords to allow different users to mark and filter their mails based on keywords. That works pretty well but I stumble across an issue from time to time: In TB I can pre-define a list of keywords which the user can choose one from. FairEmail shows all those keywords Dovecot presents - there is nothing like the list in TB. Issue 1: If there are no mails flagged in a folder, Dovecot doesn't present any keywords and therefore FairEmail shows none - the user has to remember and type in the correct keyword. Issue 2: After some time FairEmail shows a huge list of keywords for the INBOX, even keywords not in use for quite some time. To get rid of these keywords I deleted the index files on Dovecot (which with sdbox are not meant to be deleted?). It seems, Dovecot caches the keywords in the index files. Question: 1) Is there a way on Dovecot to define a list of keywords Dovecot presents to the IMAP clients? 2) If not, is there a nicer way to clean the keyword lists from old entries not assigned to any mail in that folder? -- Cheers spi

Sieve rule for whitelisting domains after spam processing
by Nicolae Iuoras 10 Aug '22

10 Aug '22

Hello, My mail server has a global Sieve rule defined in sieve_before to file messages classified as spam by spamassassin into the Spam folder: require ["regex", "fileinto", "imap4flags"]; if allof (header :regex "X-Spam-Status" "^Yes") { fileinto "Spam"; } This works great, except I'd like the ability to whitelist certain senders or domains whose emails end up in Spam, usually due to a misconfigured SPF DNS TXT record or something like that. I use Roundcube as my Webmail client, so the easiest way to whitelist would be to create a rule for each domain directly in Roundcube using its built-in Sieve integration to move legitimate messages out of the Spam folder. I already have several rules set up to flag and sort non-spam messages, and they're working fine. I therefore tried adding a simple rule to move Spam into the Inbox: # rule:[Not Spam] if allof (header :contains "from" "user(a)good-domain.com") { fileinto "INBOX"; } However, the above rule does not work as I expected. When I receive an email from good-domain.com that's classified as Spam by spamassassin, the global rule sends it to the Spam folder and it is not re-filed into the Inbox. The second rule doesn't seem to do anything. I'm probably doing something simple wrong, but I can't figure out what (I'm a Sieve newb). Any suggestions please? Thanks, Nick

Submission Service Copy To Sent
by Asai 09 Aug '22

09 Aug '22

Greetings, We've had a longstanding problem with emails not being copied to the Sent folder that seems to be a bug with various email clients (Thunderbird, TypeApp.) I know that Dovecot has the option to use the Submission service to copy emails to Sent without using SMTP to do this. Would this solve the problem we've seen over the years of emails not being copied to the Sent folder on various clients under certain (unknown) conditions? Thanks for your insight here. Asai

Re: how to setup dovecot to accept client certificates signed with a private CA when the server certificate is signed by a public CA
by jean-christophe manciot 09 Aug '22

@Marc@f1-outsourcing.eu No, the private CA certificate was not present there as I thought that its presence in the bundle pointed to by <ssl_ca> was enough. Anyway, placing it in /etc/ssl/certs and restarting dovecot does not change anything for the client, as expected.

how to setup dovecot to accept client certificates signed with a private CA when the server certificate is signed by a public CA
by jean-christophe manciot 08 Aug '22

08 Aug '22

Hi everyone, I'm trying to setup dovecot to accept only client certificates created with a private CA: auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes ssl_verify_client_cert = yes ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/CA_Certificate_CRL_bundle.pem At the same time, dovecot is setup with an SSL certificate created by a public CA (let's encrypt): ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/key.pem When I try to connect to the server with a client (evolution), I get a connection error: "Client did not present valid SSL certificate" except that it is valid. As you probably already know, let's encrypt does not create client certificates. It seems that using a different CA for client certificates and for the server certificate is unsupported. Am I missing something? -- Jean-Christophe

rawlog data in a lua script
by michael.zork＠feierfighter.de 08 Aug '22

08 Aug '22

Hi, I'm searching for a possibility to have the rawlog feature in lua, which would be much easier for processing. Currently Dovecot, when activating rawlog for a user, writes everything to disk (which creates I/O), and I have to somehow read it from there. That's a bit complicated, because I have to get notified via inotify or similar when there are new files created, and then I have to start a "tail" or "epoll" mechanism on the files to get the contents in more or less real time (IMAP sessions can be multiple hours or days). It would be much easier to hook to the "raw request and response events" inside Dovecot and have the rawlog-data in a lua script, where I can prepare it and send it to another maschine for monitoring/collection/analysis/statistics or similar, for example via HTTP. Having the rawlog data available in lua would make things a lot easier. Is there any possibility at the moment to create a lua script and "hook" to those "request and response events"? If not, would it be possible to add that feature in the future? Kind regards Michael

variable %w recursive expanding
by Franz Beslmeisl 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

In order to change the password scheme I wrote a script named updateproxy that needs the plain text password from the user. To get that I use the line password_query = SELECT username as user, password, \ '%w' as userdb_plain_pass FROM auth_user WHERE username='%n' This works nicely with almost all passwords but not with this one 1234567%&/abcd the error message being dovecot: Failed to expand plugin setting plain_pass = '1234567%&/abcd': Unknown variable '%&' It seems to me that dovecot tries to do another level of variable evaluation upon the **value** of the already evaluated variable. So I searched for ways to escape problematic characters like % and changed my line to password_query = SELECT username as user, password, \ '%E{w}' as userdb_plain_pass FROM auth_user WHERE username='%n' but this produces problems with password values containing quotes. So how can I get a plain text password containing any ascii char (or even better any utf-8 char) safely to my script?

Dovecot-lda mysql look ups.
by Simon B 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Hallo again. Dovecot is not doing a look up for the MailDirLoc in the mysql database after postfix hands over the mail to dovecot-lda. Postfix knows the right location # postmap -q user(a)domain.net mysql:/etc/postfix/Mail-Mailbox.cf domain.com/user/ But apparently this has not worked as intended since I moved from courier to dovecot some years back. The minute I change /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf postfix starts spitting SASL authentication errors. How can I make Dovecot-LDA query the DB in that file for the delivery location (userdb_mail)? Grateful for any help :) Regards Simon

With creating x.y.z you really create only folder z and a folder hirarchy x.y, in which you can not store emails (nor have any access). You have to create x and x.y, in order to get complete folders and subfolders usable for emails and be able to delete them :-) Kind regards, Christian Mack -- Christian Mack Universität Konstanz Kommunikations-, Informations-, Medienzentrum (KIM) Abteilung IT-Dienste Forschung, Lehre, Infrastruktur 78457 Konstanz +49 7531 88-4416

large search indexer tasks, submitted to flatcurve+tika+tesseract backend for attachment scanning, timeout even with "fts_index_timeout = 0"; how to increase/remove timeouts?
by PGNet Dev 28 Jul '22

28 Jul '22

i'm running dovecot 2.3.19.1 search indexing is enabled, via fts_flatcurve (dovecot23_fts_flatcurve) attachment processing is via fts_tika, with tika-server-standard-2.4.2 backend & tesseract5 OCR i'm working getting this optimized on a smaller, 4-core server that opt includes capping tesseract @ single-thread, Environment=OMP_THREAD_LIMIT=1 still, some attachments are OCR-scanned, and can take some time. when i exec large reindex jobs, i get occassional timeout errors on dovecot's indexer-worker connection to tiks backend, e.g., 2022-07-23 09:54:43 indexer-worker(postmaster(a)example.com)<DIcjEWb922JhXAAA+IOfAw>: Error: fts_tika: PUT http://127.0.0.1:9998/tika/ failed: Request timed out (Request queued 61.031 secs ago, 1 send attempts in 60.103 secs, 60.080 in http ioloop, 0.000 in other ioloops, connected 60.103 secs ago) 2022-07-23 09:54:43 indexer-worker(postmaster(a)example.com)<DIcjEWb922JhXAAA+IOfAw>: Error: Mailbox Sent: Precache for UID=90782 failed: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2022-07-23 09:54:43] (attempted to index 2 messages between UIDs 90778..90782) i don't see any fts timeout info @ https://wiki.dovecot.org/Timeouts here https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/fts-plugin/#plugin_setting-fts-fts_… " fts_index_timeout Default: 0 Values: Unsigned integer When the full text search backend detects that the index isn’t up-to-date, the indexer is told to index the messages and is given this much time to do so. If this time limit is reached, an error is returned, indicating that the search timed out during waiting for the indexing to complete: NO [INUSE] Timeout while waiting for indexing to finish A value of 0 means no timeout. " double-checking my config, /usr/sbin/dovecot -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf -n submission_relay_connect_timeout = 10 secs submission_timeout = 10 secs there's no tika/fts timeout override, so should be "0" by default. i.e., no timeout @ Patch: enhancements for solr/tika integration https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2022-January/123828.html a patch was proposed for similar issue with fts-solr indexer (not sure if it's in current release AND effective for my config), but that *limits* the size of attachments submitted. i _do_ want to index all/large attachments, so, iiuc, need to ensure no, or longer, timeout. where do I set that timeout to not fail, as above, on large index tasks?

test-crypto.c - Assert failed
by Tamsy 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

Dear List, Please pardon me if this has been already discussed before. I couldn't find the matter with a quick search. On a new standard Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installation Dovecot's "configure && make" runs through but "make check" fails. Is dovecot-2.3.19.1 not yet compatible with openSSL 3.0.2 (openssl 3.0.2-0ubuntu1.6) or is this just happening here?

How to correctly use readonly=yes with the sqlite driver?
by oddlama 24 Jul '22

24 Jul '22

Hi! I want to use a sqlite database in readonly mode, which I found mentionend in the docs [1]. Unfortunately no examples were given, so I tried to infer the usage by inspecting core/driver-sqlite.c. If I interpret it correctly, this should have worked: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = sqlite connect = readonly=yes /var/vmail/virtual.sqlite user_query = #... Unfortunately, dovecot tries to open a file named "readonly=yes /var/vmail/virtual.sqlite" instead. I have no idea why the option is not parsed. Is this a bug or am I using the feature incorrectly? Best regards, oddlama [1]: https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/sql-sqlite/

Tools to get a report of which folders have new mail?
by Steve Litt 20 Jul '22

20 Jul '22

Hi all, I use a Dovecot IMAP server on my Linux desktop computer, and I'm pretty good at writing shellscripts. Is there any way I could use doveadm or other tools to create a report that shows all my folders in a hierarchy? Also, is there a way to show only those with new mail?

Tracing Sieve actions
by Doug Hardie 20 Jul '22

20 Jul '22

I encountered an interesting problem that one originator was being dumped into the Deleted file directly by my sieve. The sieve file was quite large and it was not obvious which entry was causing the issue. I recall there was a way to get sieve-test to show what is going on and which lines it used, but I could not replicate it tonight for anything. I ended up having to change all the deliver to the Deleted files to something else and test one at a time to find the offending entry. It took a long time. How do you get sieve-test to show the actual path it took through the file? -- Doug

Interfacing mutt with Dovecott
by Steve Litt 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hi all, All my email for the past 20 years is held on a Dovecot IMAP server (version 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964)) on my desktop. I've been using Claws-Mail but want to switch to Mutt. In the past I've tried this, but Mutt was unreliable in reading folders from my local Dovecot server. It didn't see a lot of the folders. I know some people have been very successful running Mutt to access an IMAP server, so it appears to be possible. How should I run Mutt to access my Dovecot? Also, in the past I've used Claws-Mail to admin my Dovecot folders (make new folders, move folders, etc). I've heard there are one or more Dovecot provided tools to do this kind of admin. What are the names of those tools? Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt Summer 2022 featured book: Thriving in Tough Times http://www.troubleshooters.com/bookstore/thrive.htm

Deleting "folders only" folder doesn't actually delete
by Alex 19 Jul '22

19 Jul '22

Hi, I'm using dovecot-2.3.17.1-1.fc34.x86_64 on fedora34 and Thunderbird 91 on fedora35. When creating a folder of type "folders only" in Thunderbird, then trying to delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from the filesystem. Is this a permissions problem? Or perhaps a Thunderbird problem? I don't see any messages in the logs that would indicate some type of failed attempt to delete. How do I troubleshoot this? Thanks, Alex

dovecot 2.3.19.1 + tika-server 2.4.1 failed attachment scanning -- ERROR: 'corrupt stream'?
by PGNet Dev 15 Jul '22

15 Jul '22

i'm running dovecot 2.3.19.1 + fts_tika for attachment scanning, with tika-server 2.4.1 submitting a PDF attachment DIRECTLY to tika, via curl, there's no issue -- scan's OK on mail receipt in dovecot, the attachment is submitted to tika via fts, but scanning fails with a 'corrupt stream' ERROR. i've posted the issue, with details here, @ tika ML, https://lists.apache.org/thread/pztsq8tb8xqz3s4kmjpnt9p3zt07y05k where it's suggested the message may be getting truncated since direct-via-curl doesn't truncate, it seems that the submission process -- via fts plugin -- is a possiblity. can anyone confirm PDF attachment scan in a similar config, with latest versions? or suggest what diagnostic to use to dig for further, relevant troubleshooting info in dovecot+fts?

Hi, I'm using ubuntu 22.04 and installed dovecot 2.3.16.

Is multi factor authentication practical/feasible?
by Steve Dondley 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

I have a small client whose insurance company insists they have MFA for their email to be covered under some kind of data protection policy. Currently I have the client set up on a Debian box for the email server coupled with roundcube for webmail. Most the users just use roundcube but some also use their mobile devices to check email. Maybe one person uses outlook. There’s about 5 to 10 users total. I know roundcube offers a MFA plugin. But I don’t have the foggiest idea how of an iPhone, Android device, or Outlook could all be set up to work with MFA with a standard dovecot/postfix setup. Are there any practical solutions for easily implementing MFA that could work across multiple devices?

Thunderbird / Copy to Send folder times out
by Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet Services Inc.) 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

I know this has been asked before in both Dovecot & Thunderbird Forums (i will posting this info there as well) It seems every once in a while that copy to sent folder timeout occurs and you have to hit retry a few time for it to complete I know this is a network issue (ie network speed, congestion etc does cause an issue) That being said is there an imap timeout variable that would addres this issue and or does anyone know about a thunderbird variable I have been unable to locate anything specific to this issue and am aware that we probably need to patch both sides? ideas anyone ?? -- Happy Thursday !!!

Having an issue migrating mailboxes with the doveadm backup tool...
by Tom Spettigue 14 Jul '22

14 Jul '22

Hey all. We've got some users that live on our primary email server (which lives in our internal network) that we need to migrate to a second email server (which lives in our DMZ). Both servers serve our domain, example.com, but our first email server runs UW-IMAP, while our newer second server is running dovecot. We need to get these users cleanly migrated over, with all of their emails, and we're trying to do so with the doveadm backup tool - figuring that it will probably "do" Dovecot better than a generic IMAP to IMAP tool. So far, no dice - we get the following error message: Jul 13 16:00:00 doveadm(user(a)example.com): Fatal: All your namespaces have a location setting. Only namespaces with empty location settings are converted. (One namespace should default to mail_location setting) Here is the command I'm trying to run: doveadm -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-migration.conf -D -o imapc_user=user -o imapc_password=password backup -Ru user(a)example.com imapc: Here is the output of doveconf -n: # 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.18.0-372.16.1.el8_6.x86_64 x86_64 AlmaLinux release 8.6 (Sky Tiger) # Hostname: example.com auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com protocols = imap lmtp service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service lmtp { executable = lmtp -L inet_listener lmtp { address = 1.2.3.4 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 24 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } user = vmail } ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd auth_verbose = yes default_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%u driver = passwd-file } protocol lmtp { lmtp_rawlog_dir = /tmp/dovecot/%u log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp-debug.log } -- Tom Spettigue Staff Engineer (720) 406-5269 Zonit Structured Solutions www.zonit.com

Re: Deleting "folders only" folder doesn't actually delete
by Joseph Tam 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

> I'm using dovecot-2.3.17.1-1.fc34.x86_64 on fedora34 and Thunderbird 91 on fedora35. When creating a folder of type "folders only" in Thunderbird, then trying to delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from the filesystem. Is this a permissions problem? Or perhaps a Thunderbird problem? Are you using MBOX backend? I think I ran across this problem and it's some confusion as to whether the target is a file or directory. I was finally able to delete it by appending '/' to the name of the folder in my mail reader, but some mail readers do not allow you to type the mailbox name to delete. I believe Tbunderbird has some IMAP server setting that will give it a hint. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

dsync confusion
by dovecot＠chubb.wattle.id.au 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

Hi Folks, The man page for doveadm-sync says that the final argument is the destination to which files will be written. But the example later in the man page says the opposite. Under 'Conversion' I read: ``` Assuming that the mail_location setting in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf is set to: mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox, a logged in system user may convert her/his mails from its Maildir in her/his home directory to the mdbox mailbox format. The user has to execute the command: doveadm sync maildir:~/Maildir ``` which has the destination in /etc/dovecot/conf.d and the _source_ as the final argument to doveadm sync. It seems on trying it, that the example doesn't work. To convert from, say mbox to Maildir, I had to do: doveadm backup 'maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs' with /etc/dovecot containing mail_location = mbox:~/Mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indices/%u Even this didn't work properly for me. All the messages from all the mboxen in ~/Mail ended up in ~/Maildir/cur and the other mailboxes ended up with empty cur/ and new/ directories under ~/Maildir/xxx/ Dovecot version 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) installed from Debian sid on x86_64. Home directories are NFS mounted. I don't think the rest of the config is relevant. -- Peter Chubb

CVE-2022-30550: Privilege escalation possible in dovecot when similar master and non-master passdbs are used
by Aki Tuomi 10 Jul '22

10 Jul '22

Affected product: Dovecot IMAP Server Internal reference: DOV-5320 Vulnerability type: Improper Access Control (CWE-284) Vulnerable version: 2.2 Vulnerable component: submission Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed in main Researcher credits: Julian Brook (julezman) Vendor notification: 2022-05-06 CVE reference: CVE-2022-30550 CVSS: 6.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) Vulnerability Details: When two passdb configuration entries exist in Dovecot configuration, which have the same driver and args settings, the incorrect username_filter and mechanism settings can be applied to passdb definitions. These incorrectly applied settings can lead to an unintended security configuration and can permit privilege escalation with certain configurations involving master user authentication. Dovecot documentation does not advise against the use of passdb definitions which have the same driver and args settings. One such configuration would be where an administrator wishes to use the same pam configuration or passwd file for both normal and master users but use the username_filter setting to restrict which of the users is able to be a master user. Risk: If same passwd file or PAM is used for both normal and master users, it is possible for attacker to become master user. Workaround: Always authenticate master users from different source than regular users, e.g. using a separate passwd file. Alternatively, you can use global ACLs to ensure that only legimate master users have priviledged access. Fix: This has been fixed in main branch. See https://github.com/dovecot/core/compare/7bad6a24%5E..a1022072.patch

User authentication / activity log
by Karl Denninger 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

I'm on 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) running on FreeBSD, if it matters. I have a set of maintenance "things" that I want to have happen if someone does not authenticate against Dovecot (to check mail) after some period of time. I was running the Z-Push exchange server, which (as its in PHP) made sticking an "you were here" flag in the user's filesystem easy, which of course means checking it is easy since the modification time on the file is sufficient. I was looking for something similar that I could use with Dovecot and my first thought was the cache or index files, but as it turns out local delivery (I'm running Postfix) updates those, so they're not left alone if no client is connected. I also don't see anything appropriate in the syslog that dovecot dumps into there I can scan for on a sign-in. My auth mechanism is "straight" login, no LDAP or similar, and I use pam as the mechanism. I don't see anything in the auth.log file or dovecot's logs. My authentication section for dovecot is pretty-basic: auth_mechanisms = login disable_plaintext_auth = yes passdb { args = session=yes dovecot driver = pam } protocols = imap Does Dovecot maintain something that I can reasonably find in the filesystem for this? A perusal of the documentation doesn't appear to show anything directly pertinent -- but I may have missed it. It appears that the event export capacity might be able to do this but I'm confused on how to set it up; what would be very useful is if, for each user, the log point could be different (e.g. in their home directory) and if it allowed overwriting (thus becoming an activity flag, basically.) Thanks in advance! -- Karl Denninger karl(a)denninger.net /The Market Ticker/ /[S/MIME encrypted email preferred]/

Case sensitivity and unicode normalisation on ZFS for Dovecot Maildir
by Jørn Åne de Jong 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

I'm wondering about some filesystem considerations when using Dovecot. I've read https://wiki.dovecot.org/FileSystems, but that basically talks about low-level details. My question is not about that. I use the following mail_location: maildir:~/maildir:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/maildir/INBOX:UTF-8 In this setup, because I use LAYOUT=fs and UTF-8, the IMAP names are identical to the directory names. I noticed that the INBOX name is case-insensitive, but all other names are case-sensitive. I wonder if it's possible to have consistent behaviour here. Now since I use ZFS, I have the ability to make the filesystem case insensitive and to normalise unicode codepoints. Is that something that would be useful when running a Dovecot server, or would that be a bad idea?

Doveadm http requests - payload size
by Tony Hartmann - WebBoty 22 Jun '22

22 Jun '22

Hello Team, We are running dovecot version (2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b)) on ubuntu 20.04. Using the doveadm tool via http api we can create emails and move them accordingly to the draft folder by sending http requests via cURL from another server. We can even attach files. However once we create a http API request bigger than 1MB in size we get the “PAYLOAD TO LARGE” response from dovecot. Going through the config I see no option to increase the allowed payload size for doveadm http api requests. However in the source code itself I see that there is a default limit/size of: #define HTTP_REQUEST_DEFAULT_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE (1 * 1024 * 1024) Further I found out that the default is only used if no limit is provided: === if (limits != NULL) { hdr_limits = limits->header; max_payload_size = limits->max_payload_size; } else { i_zero(&hdr_limits); max_payload_size = 0; } /* substitute default limits */ if (parser->max_target_length == 0) parser->max_target_length = HTTP_REQUEST_DEFAULT_MAX_TARGET_LENGTH; if (hdr_limits.max_size == 0) hdr_limits.max_size = HTTP_REQUEST_DEFAULT_MAX_HEADER_SIZE; if (hdr_limits.max_field_size == 0) hdr_limits.max_field_size = HTTP_REQUEST_DEFAULT_MAX_HEADER_FIELD_SIZE; if (hdr_limits.max_fields == 0) hdr_limits.max_fields = HTTP_REQUEST_DEFAULT_MAX_HEADER_FIELDS; if (max_payload_size == 0) max_payload_size = HTTP_REQUEST_DEFAULT_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE; if ((flags & HTTP_REQUEST_PARSE_FLAG_STRICT) != 0) msg_flags |= HTTP_MESSAGE_PARSE_FLAG_STRICT; http_message_parser_init(&parser->parser, input, &hdr_limits, max_payload_size, msg_flags); return parser; The question arises … how can we change / set the allowed payload size for the doveadm http api, so we can store bigger emails and attachments? Can we store the desired allowed payload size in an env file somewhere or are there any options to take control of the allowed payload size without changing the source code? Thanks in advance Tony

running alternate dovecot instances on the same server
by Chris Hoogendyk 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

I'm posting to the list, but not on the list. I presume that means a reply-all to get to me as well as the list? We have two servers (dovecot --version: 2.2.22 (fe789d2)) that handle email for two different departments. We are transitioning mail service to the University central IT. They need to move accounts in an automated fashion and therefore need a master password to our dovecot servers. However, we are running with LDAP authentication, and I understand that a master password is not possible in that configuration. Would it be possible to run an alternate dovecot process that would use local account authentication, have a master password, and use an alternate port for connecting? Ideally it would only read accounts without changing anything, and would not interfere with the operation of the other dovecot process. I'm hoping that I could copy the configuration files, make these changes, and then launch it manually without any startup scripts in /etc/inetd.conf. Oh, by the way, we are running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and have contracts with Ubuntu Advantage for ongoing patch support. The dovecot version is from the distribution, installed with aptitude. -- --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator, Retired c/ /'_ --- Biology & Geosciences Departments (*) \(*) -- 315 Morrill Science Center III ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <hoogendyk(a)bio.umass.edu> --------------- Erdös 4

dovecot and openssl3
by A. Schulze 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

Hello, I tried to build dovecot-2.3.19.1 with openssl-3.0.2 "make test" failed. Good, the test-suite found a problem! I found similar reports and patches: - https://sources.debian.org/src/dovecot/1%3A2.3.19%2Bdfsg1-1/debian/patches/… - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1962035 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dovecot/+bug/1945763 - https://launchpadlibrarian.net/569387479/dovecot.debdiff The patch looks easy and at least 'make test' pass again. Could the dovecot developer have a look at the patch and say something about the roadmap to support openssl3? Thanks Andreas

Malformed XLIST replies
by Bogdan Szczurek 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

Hi! Some (considerable) time ago, I, as one of the Mailspring (https://getmailspring.com/) users, had a problem with setting up IMAP email account hosted on home.pl. I was able to narrow down the problem to how the Mailspring handles server response regarding folder list. The problem is twofold: a) how the response is handled by Mailspring's IMAP libraries, b) how the server itself responds. As to the first part of the problem I submitted relevant bug reports (https://github.com/MailCore/mailcore2/issues/1908 and https://github.com/dinhvh/libetpan/issues/403) and but the second part appears to belong here, since home.pl uses Dovecot as their IMAP server. Now about the problem. When XLIST is used to get the list of the folders, I get, for example: 3 XLIST "" "*" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "Archive" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "Courses" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \Draft) "." "DRAFTS" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \Inbox) "." "INBOX" * XLIST (\HasChildren \) "." "PhD" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Advisor" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Archive" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Articles" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Conferences" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Journals" * XLIST (\HasNoChildren \) "." "PhD.Thesis" 3 OK Completed Compare this with the LIST output: 4 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Archive" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Courses" * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Drafts) "." "DRAFTS" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "PhD" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Advisor" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Archive" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Articles" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Conferences" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Journals" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "PhD.Thesis" 4 OK Completed Notice, how in the XLIST example, every item has an additional “empty” flag (“\”). This part causes libetpan to fail. While ignoring the problem as a library's problem would be perfectly understandable, I think it should be also considered if something shouldn't be done on Dovecot's end. Granted, XLIST has been long depreceated, however it still is implemented and it should be implemented properly. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I failed to find any mention of a thing like “empty flag”. It might not be prohibited, but it strikes me as something bizarre. I am unable to get the information about the Dovecot version used by home.pl, but I suspect this problem may still be present up to the newest version. Also, if someone is willing to take a closer look at the problem, I can provide you with an email account for testing purposes. Best regards! Bogdan

Move sent emails to sent folder?
by Austin Witmer 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

Hello all! I have a server running dovecot & postfix. I have a user on my server who is sending email via smtp on an HP printer and because of that, a copy of the email is not placed in the sent folder like usually happens with clients like outlook and thunderbird. Is there any way to have the sent emails copied to the sent folder for just this user on my server? Thx! Austin Witmer

Home directories with colons in it
by Jonas Pasche 16 Jun '22

16 Jun '22

Howdy folks, we're using Dovecot 2.3.19 in combination with vmailmgr as the virtual user management backend (please don't judge, there are plans to move away from it for various reasons, but as of today it's there), using the wrapper from https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/VMailMgr - and we're facing an interesting problem with colons in home directories. I think this problem is not specific to vmailmgr but happens in any scenario that includes ":" in directory names. tl;dr: - The checkvpw-dovecot-wrapper from the Dovecot wiki converts ":" in directory names to "::" which works fine with general IMAP use, but at least the autoexpunge plugin and ManageSieve don't handle this escaping and thus break on those users. - When patching the ":"->"::" conversion out of the checkvpw-dovecot-wrapper, Dovecot itself bails on it, interpreting it as a sub-setting. - The latter is quite surprising because a HOME/mail_home directory is supposed to be exactly one directory (AFAIK), with no sub-settings like e.g. mail_location, so I did not expect it to be "interpreted" in any way. Short story long: When you set up a user with a name containing dots, vmailmgr converts them to colons, pretty much like qmail does (qmail maps the username "xy.z" to a file named ".qmail-xy:z"; vmailmgr creates the directory "./users/xy:z" for that username). The wrapper from the dovecot wiki escapes ":" into "::" before exporting the user's directory as the HOME environment variable: /* escape possible ':' characters before finally exporting */ escape_colon(buffer, MAXLEN); setenv("HOME", buffer, 1); The result looks like that: [root@stardust ~]# doveadm auth login xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space supersecret passdb: xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space auth succeeded extra fields: user=xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space userdb extra fields: xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space home=/home/coltest/./users/xy::z <---------- notice the double colon here uid=1009 gid=1010 auth_mech=PLAIN So far, so good: Working with IMAP generally works fine, but there's a catch: Not every module seems prepared for this "::" syntax. The first notable exception is the autoexpunge plugin which simply bails on it: Error: autoexpunge: Couldn't create dovecot.autoexpunge.lock lock: file_create_locked(/home/coltest/./users/xy::z/dovecot.autoexpunge.lock) failed: safe_mkstemp(/home/coltest/./users/xy::z/dovecot.autoexpunge.lock) failed: No such file or directory The second notable exception is ManageSieve which takes the escaped directory name "as is", leading to a situation where the Maildir is in "xy:z" while the Sieve stuff is being put in "xy::z" where it effectively is never picked up during delivery (as the stuff is in the wrong location and the .dovecot.sieve symlink is - silently - not created): [coltest@stardust ~]$ ls -la users/* users/xy:z: total 28 drwx------. 9 coltest coltest 4096 Jun 16 11:39 . drwxr-xr-x. 4 coltest coltest 31 Jun 16 11:40 .. drwxr-xr-x. 2 coltest coltest 6 Jun 16 11:39 cur -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 376 Jun 16 11:40 dovecot.index.log -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 2676 Jun 16 11:39 dovecot.list.index.log -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 96 Jun 16 11:39 dovecot.mailbox.log -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 51 Jun 16 11:39 dovecot-uidlist -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 8 Jun 16 11:39 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r--. 1 coltest coltest 0 Jun 16 11:39 dovecot-uidvalidity.62aafa70 drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 108 Jun 16 11:39 .Drafts drwxr-xr-x. 2 coltest coltest 6 Jun 16 11:39 new drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 108 Jun 16 11:39 .Sent drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 108 Jun 16 11:39 .Spam -rw-------. 1 coltest coltest 28 Jun 16 11:39 subscriptions drwxr-xr-x. 2 coltest coltest 6 Jun 16 11:39 tmp drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 108 Jun 16 11:39 .Trash users/xy::z: total 0 drwx------. 3 coltest coltest 19 Jun 16 11:40 . drwxr-xr-x. 4 coltest coltest 31 Jun 16 11:40 .. drwx------. 3 coltest coltest 33 Jun 16 11:40 sieve So my initial thought was: Why is the ":" even escaped to a "::" in the first place? It shouldn't be necessary according to this clean workaround that I found in a posting from 2009 with Timo advising for this type of handling: > Hmm. Although now that I looked at your code, you seem to be using only > HOME. And using ~/ in mail_location should work around any ":" issues. > So what exactly is the problem you're seeing? https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-June/040590.html (In the same thread, Timo _also_ introduced the "::" handling in Dovecot.) This is exactly what we're doing at delivery time: Setting mail_home to the real pathname including a _single_ colon (not an escaped double colon) and then pointing mail_location to "~/": /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -a '$RECIPIENT' -f '$SENDER' -o mail_home='$MAILDIR' -o mail_location='maildir:~/' This works well. So my assumption was: If the checkvpw-dovecot-wrapper returns the HOME directory of a virtual user; where's even the need to escape a single colon to a double colon? So I gave it a try and removed that one line of escaping and recompiled the wrapper. Result: [root@stardust ~]# doveadm auth login xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space supersecret passdb: xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space auth succeeded extra fields: user=xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space userdb extra fields: xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space home=/home/coltest/./users/xy:z <---------- single colon here now uid=1009 gid=1010 auth_mech=PLAIN Using a real IMAP login, though, this lead to the "interesting" situation that the login itself worked correctly, but _then_ immediately an "Internal error occurred": [root@stardust ~]# nc localhost 143 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SPECIAL-USE LITERAL+ STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. 0 LOGIN xy.z(a)coltest.uber.space supersecret 0 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SNIPPET=FUZZY PREVIEW=FUZZY PREVIEW STATUS=SIZE SAVEDATE SPECIAL-USE LITERAL+ NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE] Logged in * BYE Internal error occurred.

Here I'm a bit stuck. My idea is to work around this by eliminating the ":" from directory names altogether by passing an explicit directory name to vadduser: [coltest@stardust ~]$ echo supersecret | vadduser --directory=./users/ab.c ab.c vadduser: user 'ab.c' successfully added [coltest@stardust ~]$ ls -l users total 0 drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 39 Jun 16 10:26 ab.c drwx------. 5 coltest coltest 39 Jun 16 09:31 xy:z But still, it would be nicer if Dovecot cleanly supported the ":" in directory names, as it seems to _want_ to support it (by introducing the "::" escaping) but then only does it halfway. Could this be fixed in whatever direction, or is there any other advice how we should handle this? All the best, Jonas

If this mail client behaves anything like Apple mail clients, these connection storms can come about when doing global searches. The mail clients will march through each mailbox (opening a connection for each mailbox) looking for a pattern. If you can narrow this scenario for one specific user (e.g. $user), you can deep dive what's going on by enabling IMAP session logs for this user protocol imap { ... rawlog_dir = /log/dir/%u } then (Make sure this user has write permissions into this directory) mkdir /log/dir/$user After you're done, you can disable logging, rm -rf /log/dir/$user Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

That's a lot of open folders. By the way, the single command: ps auxw | grep imap | cut -d" " -f1 | sort | uniq -c will get you a nice list with the users and their connection counts.

Issue with one user only, exceeding connections
by Jeremy Schaeffer 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

I keep having this issue with one user, and I have to restart dovecot several times a day to clear it. What I have is a postfix / dovecot mail server (Centos 7) and about a dozen users. All mailboxes are imap ssl. I monitor about 4 mailboxes on my computer and tablet. I use Thunderbird on the computer (cache connections at 2) and K9 on the tablet, but one user of the four I keep getting "Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded" and I have the maximum at 50 "(mail_max_userip_connections=50)" so its hard for me to believe I am actually exceeding it unless dovecot/client is not dropping connections and keeps starting new ones until it reaches the maximum, but again, only for one user, even though I am monitoring 4 on the same devices. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? I don't know if I should be looking at dovecot or the clients, or what I need to look for. It's been going on since I put this server in use over a year ago. I also have issues with Outlook clients disconnecting, just outlook, is there any recommended settings to make Outlook work smoother?

If you have that in both places I'm not certain which one takes precedence, but you might want to check. [In my setup almost all the configuration pieces are in include files, rather than the main .conf.] Starting with a "ps" (and grep &etc.) it's fairly easy to see how many connections any account has open. An open mailbox has one or two connections and then every folder (under a mailbox) that is open will have a connection associated with it too, which pushes up the count quickly if someone holds a lot of folders open.

Occasional service disruptions
by Nikolaos Milas 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

Hello, On a server with (Postfix and) Dovecot 2.3.18 (on a VM running CentOS 7 - 1 CPU, 5 GB RAM) with the config you will see below, we are facing occasional (infrequent) service disruptions: IMAP service seems unavailable to some users. Jun 6 12:01:25 vweb2 roundcube: <1eecb0d4> IMAP Error: Login failed for imaptester against vmail2.noa.gr from 195.251.202.xxx. Could not connect to ssl://vmail2.noa.gr:993: Connection rejected in /var/webs/webmail/rcube/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 211 (POST /?_task=login&_action=login) At that time there was no associated logged event in dovecot log. (Other users are logging in and out.) However, I see some warnings (I list the two of them closest to the above event): Jun 06 12:01:22 imap(user1)<29639><Vr0atcPg5M3BXBCl>: Warning: Inotify instance limit for user 500 (UID vmail) exceeded, disabling.

Increase /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances (In above log excerpts I've only modified real usernames.) Restarting Dovecot returns things back to normal. I have tried to use "service_count = 100" in all configured services, to see how it goes. Most of the config is inherited from the past (older versions) and is not optimized. For example one can observe different "process_limit" values for different services, for no apparent reason I am aware of. Could anyone suggest changes and/or additions to the OS and/or Dovecot to resolve this issue? Any additional suggestions will also be welcome. Thanks in advance for your kind assistance.

The meaning of "tarpit" as used in the auth policy docs?
by Hippo Man 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

I'm trying to understand what is meant by "tarpit" in the ffollowing quote of the Dovecot auth policy docs for the "before" check ... First query is done *before* password and user databases are consulted. This means that any userdb/passdb attributes are left empty. The command used here is ‘allow’ and will appear on the URL as command=allow. status result values: - -1: Reject - 0: Accept - (Any other positive value): *Tarpit for this number of seconds.* What actually happens if a positive status value is returned here? Does it mean that the client will not receive any response for the given number of seconds, but that the given login attempt will still continue after that delay? Or does it mean that the client will not receive a response for the given number of seconds, and then the login will be rejected after that delay? What if the client has connected via pop3 and is sending multple "user" and "pass" combinations? If the "before" check returns, for example, the integer "5" as the status, does this mean there will be a 5-second delay between each login attempt that is being sent to this connection? Ideally, I'd like the following to occur, but I don't know if it is possible: * Client connects via pop3 and intends to send a large batch of "user"/"pass" commands via this connection. * The first "user"/"pass" command is made to wait for many seconds. * Then, the connection is dropped, so that the subsequent "user"/"pass" commands do not even hit the dovecot server. I'm thinking that this is *not* what is meant by "tarpit" in the auth policy docs, correct? Thank you for any clarification. -- hippoman(a)gmail.com Take a hippopotamus to lunch today.

Extremely long line
by Dmitriy Fitisov 07 Jun '22

07 Jun '22

Hello everyone, I’m using https://github.com/karastojko/mailio <https://github.com/karastojko/mailio> to get messages from dovecot-2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b) and 1 of the messages which is 2.5 mbytes in size and has an image attached, has a half megabyte of <80> (0x80) characters at the end. And that is with default encoding of 7 bit (meaning there is no part headers at the end), right after the message those characters. I got a feeling that max length was 998 characters. On other hand, looks like dovecot is replacing NULL chars with 0x80. Is that is correct behavior, should I expect that half meg of bytes in 1 line? Is it a known issue? Thank you. Dmitriy

Any pointers to get dovecot configured with sieve for Roundcube filters? Things I’ve found through search seem a bit all over the place. I’m using CentOS 8/Rocky Linux hosts. Thanks

Hiding imap account and still using it for outgoing email
by Hippo Man 07 Jun '22

07 Jun '22

I'm using dovecot 2.3.18 with a fairly recent version of postfix on my Debian-11 box. I have a question, and I'm not sure whether it pertains to dovecot, postfix, or both. I'm asking first here, but I'm glad to go to a postfix forum if it turns out that my question doesn't pertain to dovecot. On my server, account management in both dovecot and postfix is managed by the same mysql database, and postfix is configured to use dovecot's authentication mechanism. I have an email address which I do not want to be seen as one which can be accessed for imap nor pop3. However, I want to receive email to that address, and I, myself, still do want to be able to use imap or pop3 in order to access email that is sent to that address. I have something I want to try in order to accomplish this, but before I do, I want to make sure that no one can see any issues or "gotchas" with the following approach, or perhaps that there is an easier, more straightforward way to accomplish what I want to do: Assume the email address in question is "myemail(a)domain.com", and assume that I own and manage the "domain.com" domain. (1) Create another email address called "other(a)domain.com", and set it up with the same configuration as is currently set up for "myemail(a)domain.com" (2) In all my email clients, set the outgoing mail address and reply-to address for "other(a)domain.com" to be "myemail(a)domain.com". This way, all outgoing email from "other(a)domain.com" will look like it is being sent from "myemail(a)domain.com". (3) Change "myemail.com" (in the database used by dovecot and postfix) from being a bona-fide email address into becoming simply a forwarding email alias for "other(a)domain.com". (4) In all my email clients, change the inbox that I previously used for "myemail(a)domain.com" to now be associated with "other(a)domain.com". So ... if anyone sends email to "myemail(a)domain.com", it will automatically go to the "other(a)domain.com" inbox. And when I reply to those emails, the sender and reply-to addresses will still be "myemail(a)domain.com". And now, dovecot will no longer see "myemail(a)domain.com" as a mailbox from which email can be retrieved. And I will still be able to retrieve that email via imap or pop3 from the "other(a)domain.com" account. Do you folks think this will work? And again, is there perhaps a simpler way to accomplish this? Thank you in advance for any thoughts and suggestions. -- hippoman(a)gmail.com Take a hippopotamus to lunch today.

Random behavior with sieve extprograms
by Thomas Sommer 04 Jun '22

04 Jun '22

Hi I have a random behavior with dovecot and sieve extprograms. Here is my sieve file: require ["fileinto", "vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imap4flags"]; # rule:[DABS] if header :contains "X-Original-To" "dabs(a)mydomain.ch" { pipe "sieve-dabs-execute.sh"; setflag "\\Seen"; fileinto "acme.DABS"; stop; } Emails matching the condition are processed by a laravel (php) artisan command. See service sieve-pipe-script below. The exit code of this php command is 0. I randomly get the following in my postfix logs: Sieve thinks that the command failed, but the email was always processed correctly. In that case I get a copy in my Inbox. I'm wondering what could be the cause for this random behavior. My guess is that approximately 70% are processed correctly, 30% is as below.

Hello all again, building from 2.3.19 src tarball on Darwin Kernel Version 21.5.0: Tue Apr 26 21:08:29 PDT 2022; root:xnu-8020.121.3~4/RELEASE_ARM64_T8101 arm64 got failure: ioloop-notify-kqueue.c:70:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'i_gettimeofday' is invalid in C99 [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration] i_gettimeofday(&ioloop_timeval); ^ ioloop-notify-kqueue.c:70:2: note: did you mean 'gettimeofday'? /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/sys/time.h:197:9: note: 'gettimeofday' declared here int gettimeofday(struct timeval * __restrict, void * __restrict); ^ 1 error generated.

Openmetrics label truncation
by Daniel Sabotta 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

Hello, I'm using dovecot 2.3.18 and want to collect metrics with prometheus via openmetrics. I need to label the metrics with the destination host name. The configuration works fine, but the label value is truncated after 32 chars (and a '...' is added). My config: service stats { inet_listener http { port = 9323 } } metric my_metric { filter = event=smtp_client_transaction_finished group_by = dest_host status_code } I wrote a simple patch, that fixes that for me: diff --git a/src/stats/stats-metrics.c b/src/stats/stats-metrics.c index 877c142546..30126563ff 100644 --- a/src/stats/stats-metrics.c +++ b/src/stats/stats-metrics.c @@ -357,7 +357,7 @@ stats_metric_sub_metric_alloc(struct metric *metric, const char *name, pool_t po array_append_zero(&fields); sub_metric = stats_metric_alloc(pool, metric->name, metric->set, array_idx(&fields, 0)); - sub_metric->sub_name = p_strdup(pool, str_sanitize_utf8(name, 32)); + sub_metric->sub_name = p_strdup(pool, str_sanitize_utf8(name, 63)); array_append(&metric->sub_metrics, &sub_metric, 1); return sub_metric; } Why are labels truncated after 32? Is there a reason I do not see? I found no reasons in the openmetrics specification [1]. Thanks in advance Daniel

Restrict IMAP login, but allow Postfix SASL
by lutz.niederer＠gmx.net 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

Hi, we have a very simple user-/passdb (like passwd) to authenticate virtual IMAP users. We also use this for Postfix authentication. Nothing special. But, we need to exclude some of the users from IMAP login. This means, some users should be allowed to send mail via Postfix (submission) and therefore authenticate via SASL against dovecot successfully, but they should not be allowed to login to their IMAP mail box. How could this be done? Thanks! -lutzn

Building dovecot-core
by Dmitriy Fitisov 03 Jun '22

03 Jun '22

Hi all, do we have any info on building dovecot-core? INSTALL.md suggests usual way: ./configure … Needless to say, there is no .configure in root dir. I think, instructions need to be updated to correct this. Thank you. Dmitriy

doveadm-deduplicate deletes non-duplicates
by Ryan Kavanagh 31 May '22

31 May '22

Hi, I've been trying to use `doveadm deduplicate` to deduplicate mailboxes. According to doveadm-deduplicate(1), "deduplication will be done by message GUIDs". However, deduplication deletes messages with distinct message GUIDs, i.e., it deletes messages that are not duplicates. Is this a case of user error, do I have some form of corruption going on, or am I running into a bug? In case it helps, I'm including: 1) the list of GUIDs for messages in my INBOX before a deduplication run (as documented in doveadm-deduplicate(1)), 2) the output of `doveadm -D deduplicate -u rak mailbox INBOX`, 3) the list of GUIDs after deduplication, 4) a diff of (1) and (3), 5) the output of doveconf -n. Thanks, Ryan $ doveadm -f table fetch -u rak 'guid uid' mailbox INBOX | sort 0b3bee1414118f6282db0000226807b0 7100 0b4b681c18168f6220940000226807b0 7104 0b83ac1d79cf2962eb3a0100226807b0 6153

The iPhone mail app does not show the read marks.The OS/X mail sets and shows the read marks correctly.Is there a way to fix or at least debug this behaviour ?

Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready ... ???
by Hippo Man 30 May '22

30 May '22

I've been running dovecot 2.2.36.4 (baf9232c1) on my Debian-8 host for a long time with no problems. I am trying to move my email server to a Debian-11 host, and I have Dovecot configured exactly the same way that I have it configured under Debian-8. However, when I try to connect to that server via imap, I always get the following error: 2022.05.30-18:17:21 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 0 secs): user=<>, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured, session=<2+nKqj7g4t4AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> The output of "dovecot -n" appears at the bottom of this message. I'm using mysql on the Debian-8 server for my authentication database, and I'm using mariadb on the Debian-11 server. The contents of the database on the new, Debian-11-based server are exactly the same as those on the Debian-8 server. These are the contents of /opt/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.ext with the comments removed.

Force TCP socket disconnect on imap login failure?
by Lloyd Zusman 27 May '22

27 May '22

I'm running dovecot 2.2.13 under Debian 8. I'd like to force an immediate TCP socket disconnect after any imap login attempt that fails. Right now, if invalid credentials are supplied during an imap login, the client can keep retrying logins with different credentials. However, I want to prevent that from occurring by causing the socket connection to be closed as soon as there is any failed login attempt. I haven't been able to find any dovecot configuration setting which could control this behavior, but I'm hoping that I just missed something. Thank you very much for any suggestions. -- hippoman(a)gmail.com Take a hippopotamus to lunch today.

Re: Duplicate messages if message is moved when using dsync
by Thom Pol 25 May '22

25 May '22

Hi, Thanks for your reply! The dsync is triggered on IMAP/POP3/LDA/LMTP activity. See my config dump from the first email. I'm wondering if my config is not OK so it causes dsync to sync twice? > you need / preferably use a database for your user auth I already do this. > run the command doveadm user '*' - it needs to return a list of users > that will trigger replication (after doing config above) This part works fine.

Panic: file userdb-blocking with Dovecot 2.3.19
by Niklas Meyer 25 May '22

25 May '22

Hello all, since we´ve tested around with the new dovecot release in the mailcow project we´ve came across a curious and new error with Dovecot: /auth: Panic: file userdb-blocking.c: line 124 (userdb_blocking_iter_next): assertion failed: (ctx->conn != NULL)/ *System Information:* *Dovecot Version: 2.3.19 (b3ad6004dc)** * *OS: Debian 11 (dovecot is running in a docker container)* *CPU: x86* *Filesystem: ext4* The error occurs only with the newest Dovecot release (2.3.19), the config hasn´t been changed. In the Attachment you can find all (hopefully) helpful informations. Maybe it is a simple fix. Kind regards and thanks for your help. -- The mailcow Team - Niklas --- The Infrastructure Company GmbH Parkstr. 42 47877 Willich Handelsregister: Amtsgericht Krefeld, HRB 15904 USt-IdNr.: DE308854956 Geschäftsführer: Martin Vogt /*Hinweis: *Der Inhalt dieser E-Mail ist vertraulich und nur für den in der Nachricht angegebenen Empfänger bestimmt.

Moving the message, via TBird, **BACK** to the Inbox, cures the problem -- -- I can immediately, again, open & save the attachments. This 'feels' like cache management misconfiguration to me. Not sure whether in Tbird &/or Dovecot, or what to look for specificially. Hints as to cause/fix of this attachment issue? Or event what/where, specifically, to log?

mail_replica in userdb?
by Coy Hile 23 May '22

23 May '22

I seem to have got replication working from an older instance to a newer one (insofar as the data are present on the new box) that I’m looking to stand up to replace a newer box. In this case, nothing is configured to talk to the new machine yet, so the replication is unidirectional (old -> new).

SQL user_query quota_rule for *:messages=
by James 23 May '22

23 May '22

Hello, dovecot.conf sets the system default quota for storage and message count: plugin { ... quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = *:messages=10000 ... } This quota_rule for the storage is overridden by an SQL user_query in dovecot-sql.conf: user_query = "SELECT ... '*:storage=' || maxstorage || 'M' AS userdb_quota_rule, ...;" Is it possible to override the message count limit with an SQL user_query (and password_query)? I tried returning userdb_quota_rule2 in the SQL but it did not work. "SELECT ... '*:messages=' || maxcount AS userdb_quota_rule2 ...;" Ref: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/user_database_e…

Fix lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox to be case insensitive?
by dovecot＠ptld.com 22 May '22

22 May '22

To bring this up again because i have not found a work around solution. Can dovecot make lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox case-insensitive? If you create a folder "foobar" then an email with recipient user+foobar(a)example.com will be placed in the folder. However with the folder as "foobar" an email with recipient user+FOOBAR(a)example.com will report folder "FOOBAR" not found and the email will be placed in the inbox folder.

LDAP virtual user username being rewritten:
by Coy Hile 21 May '22

21 May '22

Hi all, I’m working on migrating a dovecot instance that formerly had its only user (me) stored in a SQL database to a new instance that uses LDAP so I don’t have to maintain a handful of different passwords. However, I’m ending up getting sent to an incorrect mailbox because the %d part of the username I enter is getting stripped somewhere along the lines. Dovecot debug logs show this happening here: May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured session=itEO5InfPJusEgKD lip=172.18.2.131 rip=172.18.2.131 lport=143 rport=39740 resp=<hidden> May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: ldap(hile(a)coyhile.com,172.18.2.131,<itEO5InfPJusEgKD>): Performing passdb lookup May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: ldap(hile(a)coyhile.com,172.18.2.131,<itEO5InfPJusEgKD>): pass search: base=ou=People,dc=coyhile,dc=com scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=hile)) fields=uid,userPassword May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: ldap(hile(a)coyhile.com,172.18.2.131,<itEO5InfPJusEgKD>): result: uid=hile userPassword=<hidden>; uid,userPassword unused May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: ldap(hile(a)coyhile.com,172.18.2.131,<itEO5InfPJusEgKD>): username changed hile(a)coyhile.com -> hile May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: ldap(hile,172.18.2.131,<itEO5InfPJusEgKD>): Finished passdb lookup May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: auth(hile,172.18.2.131,<itEO5InfPJusEgKD>): Auth request finished May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=hile original_user=hile(a)coyhile.com May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 473956353 9409 1 2c1f94ded4de2c343425c90eeee8d094 session_pid=9412 request_auth_token May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: ldap(hile,172.18.2.131,<itEO5InfPJusEgKD>): Performing userdb lookup May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: ldap(hile,172.18.2.131,<itEO5InfPJusEgKD>): user search: base=ou=People,dc=coyhile,dc=com scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=hile)) fields=homeDirectory,uidNumber,gidNumber May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: ldap(hile,172.18.2.131,<itEO5InfPJusEgKD>): result: homeDirectory=/home/hile uidNumber=10000 gidNumber=10000; homeDirectory,uidNumber,gidNumber unused May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: ldap(hile,172.18.2.131,<itEO5InfPJusEgKD>): Finished userdb lookup May 21 18:36:53 auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 473956353 hile home=/data/mail/vmail//hile uid=998 gid=998 auth_token=3a262da408d33ce2c51ecb1ddd943203fdbb17a3 auth_user=hile(a)coyhile.com Note the “username changed” line above.

Possible to increase connection limit for one user only?
by Kurt Fitzner 20 May '22

20 May '22

I run a medium-sized virtual domain email server for about 15 domains. I also use it myself and have 3 or 4 devices using imap. I am often using a VPN to connect to my home network, which makes all my connections appear to come from one IP. I want to increase mail_max_userip_connections just for myself only so I'm not opening up my server to abuse. Is this possible?

Hi I'm trying to use the variable %{listener} in the following password mysql query: password_query = SELECT accounts.mcf AS password FROM accounts, domains WHERE user = '%n' AND accounts.domain = '%d' AND accounts.domain = domains.domain AND domains.host = '%{hostname}' AND accounts.service IN ('master', '%{listener}') but it doesn't expand, giving: Failed to expand password_query=SELECT accounts.mcf AS password FROM accounts, domains WHERE user = '%n' AND accounts.domain = '%d' AND accounts.domain = domains.domain AND domains.host = '%{hostname}' AND accounts.service IN ('master', '%{listener} ') : Unknown variable '%listener' %{hostname} works correctly, as well as other variables I tried. many thanks Franz ------------------- below my doveconf -n: # 2.3.19 (b3ad6004dc): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.19 (4eae2f79) # OS: Linux 5.10.0-13-amd64 x86_64 Debian 11.3 # Hostname: example.org auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it doveadm_port = 12345 hostname = example.org login_log_format_elements = method=%m lip=%l %c %k mail_fsync = never mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n@%d/:INDEX=/var/vmail_indexes/%d/%n@%d/ mail_max_userip_connections = 200 mail_plugins = " notify replication fts fts_lucene" maildir_stat_dirs = yes maildir_very_dirty_syncs = yes managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { fts = lucene fts_autoindex = yes fts_autoindex_max_recent_msgs = 80 fts_index_timeout = 90 fts_lucene = whitespace_chars=@. last_login_dict = proxy::lastlogin last_login_key = # hidden, use -P to show it sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.filter sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.filter sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve submission service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = dovemail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = dovemail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = dovemail mode = 0660 user = root } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 } } service imap-login { service_count = 1 } service imap { executable = imap } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } process_min_avail = 5 } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service pop3-login { service_count = 1 } service pop3 { executable = pop3 } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { group = dovemail mode = 0600 user = dovemail } } service submission-login { inet_listener submissions { port = 465 ssl = yes } } ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL:!RC4::!eNULL:!LOW:!3DES:!MD5:!EXP:!PSK:!SRP:!DSS ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_prefer_server_ciphers = yes submission_max_mail_size = 100000000 B submission_max_recipients = 100 submission_relay_host = 127.0.0.1 submission_relay_port = 10025 userdb { args = uid=1000 gid=1000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n@%d/ plain_pass=#hidden_use-P_to_show# user_part=%n domain_part=%d driver = static } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf.ext driver = sql } valid_chroot_dirs = /var/vmail:/var/vmail_indexes protocol imap { mail_plugins = " notify replication fts fts_lucene imap_zlib last_login" } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = " notify replication fts fts_lucene last_login" } protocol lmtp { mail_fsync = optimized mail_plugins = " notify replication fts fts_lucene sieve" }

[Rocky Linux 8.6] expire plugin file disappeared

Hi, Rocky Linux Dovecot no longer reads the expired plugin from the library directory. I use Rocky Linux packages. Rocky or Redhat may fail to package. "/usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_expire_plugin.so" seems to have disappeared in the new package. This may not be relevant to the Dovecot project. # /var/log/messages May 18 08:21:22 xxxxxxx dovecot[3508407]: imap(yyyyyyy): Error: Plugin 'expire' not found from directory /usr/lib64/dovecot # cat /etc/redhat-release Rocky Linux release 8.6 (Green Obsidian) # rpm -qa | grep dovecot dovecot-2.3.16-2.el8.x86_64 dovecot-mysql-2.3.16-2.el8.x86_64 Thank you, Masakazu

Re: Duplicate messages if message is moved when using dsync
by Thom Pol 18 May '22

18 May '22

Never mind. It did not work, issue still exists. I guess my network was a little slower when I thought it worked, so the emails were moved by my local client only after the sync had already happened between the servers. So, back to the original message. Anyone any idea how this moving on local client while the remote servers are still running the dsync can work correctly without getting a duplicate?

FTS Solr -- no commit on message delete
by Shawn Heisey 18 May '22

18 May '22

I've been chasing down oddities in behavior related to FTS Solr for a while now. First the part that isn't a problem with dovecot: In cases where message deletes bypass the Trash folder (such as shift-delete and normal workflow with the Drafts and Sent folders), Thunderbird does not inform Dovecot about the change in a way that causes Dovecot to delete the entries from Solr. When you completely exit Thunderbird, it then sends something to dovecot that results in the messages being deleted from Solr. Today I discovered a related problem that I think IS in Dovecot. I did a shift-delete on some messages, and then exited Thunderbird. Dovecot did delete the messages from Solr, but it did not send a commit to make those changes affect subsequent searches. Is this something worth opening a bug? Where would I do that? Thanks, Shawn

Upgrading from 2.3.18 --> 2.3.19
by Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet Services Inc.) 18 May '22

18 May '22

Ok currently running 2.3.18 Would like to upgrade to 2.3.19 (to keep current) Since these are production servers can i down grade back to 2.3.18 if nessesary? Issues at hand is there seems to be conflicting messages about the replication being fixed or not ? so would like to basically try 2.3.19 to see if it fixes some of my issues (large folder counts etc failing to replicate properly) If it does or stays the same then i am ok with that for now. if 2.3.19 causes issues can i go back to 2.3.18 as i already have scripts etc sorting out the sync issues? pls advise -- Happy Wednesday !!!

Re: Can sync/migrate all mail from remote imap account except the main "INBOX"

Your example pointed me to a solution, excellent ! In my case I only needed one pass, I had to supply both imapc_list_prefix AND imapc_prefix AND the "namespace/inbox/prefix=" options. In case anyone runs into this in the future, here's a decent place to start for debugging: /usr/bin/doveadm -Dv -o imapc_list_prefix=INBOX -o imapc_prefix=INBOX. -o "namespace/inbox/prefix=" -o mail_fsync=never -o dsync_commit_msgs_interval=100 -o imapc_features=rfc822.size,fetch-headers -o dsync_features=empty-header-workaround -o imapc_port=143 -o imapc_host=127.0.0.1 -o imapc_password=yayforpasswords -o imapc_user=mailto:wah@hellodemo.ppl -o imapc_rawlog_dir=/tmp/raww -o mail_prefetch_count=20 sync -1Ru mailto:saywhatnow@letest.tld imapc: Thanks again for digging through the old emails where the magic incantations were, I really appreciate it! Darren ---- On Wed, 18 May 2022 05:19:53 -0500 Sami Ketola <sami(a)ketola.io> wrote ---- So adding "-o imapc_list_prefix=INBOX" to the doveadm command line should fix that, I would think ? So is the remote INBOX really 'INBOX' or 'INBOX.INBOX'? Command line arguments depend on which one it is. I managed to find some old archived emails with some tips on how it was solved back then. It was done with something like this: normal doveadm command: 'LOG_STDERR_TIMESTAMP="%b %d %H:%M:%S.%{usecs} " ' + '/usr/bin/doveadm' + dsync_debug + \ " -o mail_prefetch_count=10 " + \ " -o imapc_features=fetch-headers " + \ " -o imapc_host=" + legacy_host + \ " -o imapc_port=" + legacy_port + \ " -o imapc_list_prefix=" + imapc_prefix + \ " -o imapc_prefix=" + imapc_prefix + \ " -o imapc_user=" + self.legacy_user + \ " -o imapc_master_user=" + self.legacy_user + \ " -o imapc_password=" + imapc_master_password + \ " -o mail_fsync=never " + \ " backup -u " + self.uid + \ " -R imapc: >> " + dsync_err_log_location + self.uid + ".dsync_err.log 2>&1" If I remember correctly imapc_prefix was 'INBOX/' since this customer had INBOX/INBOX setup with / as separator. and if user had INBOX/INBOX detected this command was run on top of that to migrate INBOX: 'LOG_STDERR_TIMESTAMP="%b %d %H:%M:%S.%{usecs} " ' + '/usr/bin/doveadm' + dsync_debug + \ " -o namespace/inbox/prefix= " + \ " -o mail_prefetch_count=10 " + \ " -o imapc_features=fetch-headers " + \ " -o imapc_host=" + legacy_host + \ " -o imapc_port=" + legacy_port + \ " -o imapc_user=" + self.legacy_user + \ " -o imapc_master_user=" + self.legacy_user + \ " -o imapc_password=" + imapc_master_password + \ " -o mail_fsync=never " + \ " backup -u " + self.uid + \ " -m INBOX/INBOX " + \ " -R imapc: >> " + dsync_err_log_location + self.uid + ".dsync_err.log 2>&1" HTH, Sami

dovecot virtual users with sendmail, my solution
by Christopher McCrory 18 May '22

18 May '22

Hello... I wanted to use dovecot virtual users with sendmail. As you probably know, this doesn't work by default. The more scalable solution is probably to use LDAP, but I really don't like it. This is how I did it https://github.com/chrismcc-gmail/dovecot-virtual-sendmail Basically I abused glibc's db feature in /etc/nsswitch in /var/db/Makefile something like this: $(VAR_DB)/passwd.db: /etc/dovecot/usersfile @printf %s "$(patsubst %.db,%,$(@F))... " @$(AWK) 'BEGIN { FS=":"; OFS=":" } \ /^[ \t]*$$/ { next } \ /^[ \t]*#/ { next } \ /^root/ { next } \ /^[^#]/ { printf ".%s ", $$1; \ printf "%s:x:65534:65534:%s:/home/vmail/%s:/sbin/nologin\n", $$1, $$1, $$1; \ }' $^ | \ $(MAKEDB) -o $@ - @echo "done." make -C /var/db getent passwd ; shows ... virtualuser:x:65534:65534:virtualuser:/home/vmail/virtualuser:/sbin/nologin othervuser:x:65534:65534:othervuser:/home/vmail/othervuser:/sbin/nologin A longer explanation and more info is in the github repository It takes about 10 minutes to go from new clean server to working email server with this I've been running this in production for about a week now without any problems. Question: Has anyone else done this? I don't see any downsides, but I might be missing something. -- Christopher McCrory To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Preventing deletion of mails in some directories?
by Philip Rhoades 18 May '22

18 May '22

People, I can't get the system "chattr" to do what I want so I am wondering if there is some way to prevent deletion of mails in the INBOX and the Sent folders? Renaming and moving files needs to be possible for Maildir functions and also for me - so I only need deletion prevention . . Is this possible from Dovecot? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

Can sync/migrate all mail from remote imap account except the main "INBOX"

Greetings! I've been trying to sync my email to a server, however it only syncs the mail in folders other than INBOX. For testing purposes, I've created a fake domain, "letest.tld" and a new empty user account "mailto:saywhatnow@letest.tld" to receive the copy of the mail being migrated.

Dovecot and RFC6856
by Tan Mientras 17 May '22

17 May '22

Hi. Just after upgrading *courier* from an old version, we are receiving warning messages instead of mails stating: "This E-mail message was determined to be Unicode-formatted but your E-mail reader does not support Unicode E-mail." warnings. It looks much like: *https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1571672 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1571672>* https://talk.plesk.com/threads/messages-with-unicode-unable-to-pick-up-via-… it seems, malformed mails (they showed errors before migration, but they were shown at least!) are handled incorrectly by thunderbird and the only option is to *revert backwards or migrate to dovecot*. *Does dovecot also implement RFC8656*? Will the same happen if we migrate to dovecot? Any plans for future adoption of that RFC?

Shared mailboxes, users with dots and a bug in subscriptions
by Tobias Stein 17 May '22

17 May '22

Hi, i'm running Dovecot 2.3.14.alpha0 with shared namespaces and stumbled across some errors messages logged, when the list of subscribed mailboxes is queried by a client. For every distinct account of in the list of subscriptions two corresponding lines are logged: Jan 28 11:42:34 mx1 dovecot: auth: missing passwd file: /etc/dovecot/private/example/users Jan 28 11:42:34 mx1 dovecot: auth: missing passwd file: /etc/dovecot/private/example/users Jan 28 11:42:34 mx1 dovecot: auth: missing passwd file: /etc/dovecot/private/example/users Jan 28 11:42:36 mx1 dovecot: imap(example_user(a)example.com)<3638><xl6li/O5VsVfWxyn>: Error: mkdir(/var/run/dovecot/user-not-found/noc@example) failed: Permission denied (euid=109(vmail) egid=118(vmail) missing +w perm: /var/run/dovecot, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Jan 28 11:42:36 mx1 dovecot: imap(example_user(a)example.com)<3638><xl6li/O5VsVfWxyn>: Error: mkdir(/var/run/dovecot/user-not-found/info@example) failed: Permission denied (euid=109(vmail) egid=118(vmail) missing +w perm: /var/run/dovecot, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Jan 28 11:42:36 mx1 dovecot: imap(example_user(a)example.com)<3638><xl6li/O5VsVfWxyn>: Error: mkdir(/var/run/dovecot/user-not-found/root@example) failed: Permission denied (euid=109(vmail) egid=118(vmail) missing +w perm: /var/run/dovecot, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Similar messages are logged, when invalid entries are listed in '/var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes', which i already pruned and haven't received them anymore since. I think these errors are caused by an unintended behaviour when writing "~/Maildir/subscriptions", which looks (shortened) like this. V 2 INBOX/INBOX shared/noc@example com/INBOX shared/info@example com/INBOX shared/root@example com/test shared/root@example com/test test_sub The subscription-file.c explodes the name on every hierarchy separator ('.','\0') and inserts a TAB character. Unfortunately it also explodes on the DNS label delimiter „.‟. This should probably be fixed by passing a structure containing the required information to the formatter to distinguish mailboxes from domain-names. Subscription in combination with multiple domains and shared mailboxes seems broken to me. Actually i can't even explain to me, why it is working in face of the errors. :-) Unfortunately in Maildir++ the separator dot is hard-coded. There is a very old thread on this mailing list, that suggests using „auth_username_translation‟ to replace dots with a different character, but this idea is getting worse the longer i think about it. I absolutely dislike the idea to set LAYOUT=fs, namespace/separator = § to change the separators to split on, because this would mean to restructure the physical layout of all mailboxes (hierarchically) and mess around with lots of files. I attached a dovecot-sysreport to reproduce the behaviour. /etc/dovecot/private/example.com/users looks like this: ### user:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):extra_fields noc:{SSHA512}_hash_:::::: info:{SSHA512}_hash_:::::: root:{SSHA512}_hash_:::::: Please correct me if i'm wrong or point me to a workaround, but i think the layout code needs some love. :-) Best regards Tobias

Hello all, I updated the server tonight and with it Dovecot from 2.2.27 to 2:2.3.19-2+debian11. However, there seems to be a problem with the ACLs, because since then fatal errors are logged (see core dump). I suspect that some outdated configuration is causing this behavior, but so far I couldn't figure out which one it could be. I also have no clue right now how to debug this further. Thank you very much for your help. If more information are needed, I will of course be happy to provide them.

TLS renegotiation issue (CVE-2011-1473) in Dovecot
by Greg Earle 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hello, At work I'm running a Dovecot 2.3.15 server on a RHEL 7.9 system with OpenSSL 1.0.2k. Our IT Security people are threatening to shut it down because of this: > We were notified of a possible TLS renegotiation vulnerability on > [FQHN]. > > [Parent organization] ticket NNNNNNN is open to track efforts. > > We conducted a manual test on the site for TLS Renegotiation on IMAP > port 993. > > We found that this was set to enabled. > > In order to remediate we will need to either: > > 1. Disable Renegotiation (preferred) > 2.

" but that was about it. The IT Security rep sent me a reference to an ancient Red Hat article https://access.redhat.com/articles/23543 which is hysterical - ancient history, references NSS and Tomcat, suggests changes to an add-on product (Red Hat Certificate Server) that is EOL, etc. Is there any way to mitigate this issue? (The only thing I can think of is to upgrade the Dovecot server to RHEL 8 and restrict connections to only TLSv1.3, but that ain't gonna happen overnight.) Thanks, - Greg

Duplicate messages if message is moved when using dsync
by Thom Pol 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hi, Hope you are well. We have a cluster of 2 Dovecot servers, both on v2.3.13 (89f716dc2), using dsync to sync the messages between them. Previously, we used TCPS to sync the messages, but after some testing, we concluded that syncing over SSH resulted in a lot less failed syncs, so we started using SSH. The change has been a success, but I now notice a issue when a email client immediately moves a messages to a separate folder while Dovecot is syncing, where the message is seen twice in the folder (with the exact same headers/content). For example, I have set a filter in my email client, Thunderbird, to immediately move all emails coming from this list to a separate folder. When opening that folder, I do not see one, but two unread messages, both identical to each other. When checking the directories on the server, I see this: mx1: /var/vmail/example.com/joe/Maildir/.Subdir.Subdir/cur/1652615808.M190190P990486.mx2,S=19089,W=19384:2,S /var/vmail/example.com/joe/Maildir/.Subdir.Subdir/cur/1652615811.M180050P1376677.mx1,S=19089,W=19384:2,S mx2: /var/vmail/example.com/joe/Maildir/.Subdir.Subdir/cur/1652615811.M981426P990530.mx2,S=19089,W=19384:2,S /var/vmail/example.com/joe/Maildir/.Subdir.Subdir/cur/1652615808.M190190P990486.mx2,S=19089,W=19384:2,S Note the difference: on mx1, one indicates mx1, and one mx2, while on the other server, both indicate mx2/ Any idea (other then telling end-users not to use such filters) how we could prevent these duplicate messages?

Use different log files
by Cristiano Deana 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hi, I have a mailserver with dovecot logging to syslog (by default, to /var/log/maillog) and my MTA (postfix) is doing the same. I use dovecot's services imap/pop3, auth and lmtp and now logs files are hard to read because I havve all together MTA and these services. Is it possibile to have different log with different services? Example: auth logging: /var/log/mail.auth delivery: /var/log/mail.delivery and so on Thank you -- ############################### # Cristiano Deana # # # # Senior Network Engineer # # Digital Response Team # # CittaStudi S.p.a. # # off. +39 015 855 1172 # # cell +39 328 310 6392 # ###############################

Dovecot v2.3.19 released
by Aki Tuomi 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hi all! We are pleased to release v2.3.19 of Dovecot. The docker images have been upgraded to use bullseye as base image. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.19.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.19.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy -- + Added mail_user_session_finished event, which is emitted when the mail user session is finished (e.g. imap, pop3, lmtp). It also includes fields with some process statistics information. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ for more information. + Added process_shutdown_filter setting. When an event matches the filter, the process will be shutdown after the current connection(s) have finished. This is intended to reduce memory usage of long-running imap processes that keep a lot of memory allocated instead of freeing it to the OS. + auth: Add cache hit indicator to auth passdb/userdb finished events. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ for more information. + doveadm deduplicate: Performance is improved significantly. + imapc: COPY commands were sent one mail at a time to the remote IMAP server. Now the copying is buffered, so multiple mails can be copied with a single COPY command. + lib-lua: Add a Lua interface to Dovecot's HTTP client library. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/lua/ for more information. - auth: Cache lookup would use incorrect cache key after username change. - auth: Improve handling unexpected LDAP connection errors/hangs. Try to fix up these cases by reconnecting to the LDAP server and aborting LDAP requests earlier. - auth: Process crashed if userdb iteration was attempted while auth-workers were already full handling auth requests. - auth: db-oauth2: Using %{oauth2:name} variables caused unnecessary introspection requests. - dict: Timeouts may have been leaked at deinit. - director: Ring may have become unstable if a backend's tag was changed. It could also have caused director process to crash. - doveadm kick: Numeric parameter was treated as IP address. - doveadm: Proxying can panic when flushing print output. Fixes Panic: file ioloop.c: line 865 (io_loop_destroy): assertion failed: (ioloop == current_ioloop). - doveadm sync: BROKENCHAR was wrongly changed to '_' character when migrating mailboxes. This was set by default to %, so any mailbox names containing % characters were modified to "_25". - imapc: Copying or moving mails with doveadm to an imapc mailbox could have produced "Error: Syncing mailbox '[...]' failed" Errors. The operation itself succeeded but attempting to sync the destination mailbox failed. - imapc: Prevent index log synchronization errors when two or more imapc sessions are adding messages to the same mailbox index files, i.e. INDEX=MEMORY is not used. - indexer: Process was slowly leaking memory for each indexing request. - lib-fts: fts header filters caused binary content to be sent to the indexer with non-default configuration. - doveadm-server: Process could hang in some situations when printing output to TCP client, e.g. when printing doveadm sync state. - lib-index: dovecot.index.log files were often read and parsed entirely, rather than only the parts that were actually necessary. This mainly increased CPU usage. - lmtp-proxy: Session ID forwarding would cause same session IDs being used when delivering same mail to multiple backends. - log: Log prefix update may have been lost if log process was busy. This could have caused log prefixes to be empty or in some cases reused between sessions, i.e. log lines could have been logged for the wrong user/session. - mail_crypt: Plugin crashes if it's loaded only for some users. Fixes Panic: Module context mail_crypt_user_module missing. - mail_crypt: When LMTP was delivering mails to both recipients with mail encryption enabled and not enabled, the non-encrypted recipients may have gotten mails encrypted anyway. This happened when the first recipient was encrypted (mail_crypt_save_version=2) and the 2nd recipient was not encrypted (mail_crypt_save_version=0). - pop3: Session would crash if empty line was sent. - stats: HTTP server leaked memory. - submission-login: Long credentials, such as OAUTH2 tokens, were refused during SASL interactive due to submission server applying line length limits. - submission-login: When proxying to remote host, authentication was not using interactive SASL when logging in using long credentials such as OAUTH2 tokens. This caused authentication to fail due to line length constraints in SMTP protocol. - submission: Terminating the client connection with QUIT command after mail transaction is started with MAIL command and before it is finished with DATA/BDAT can cause a segfault crash. - virtual: doveadm search queries with mailbox-guid as the only parameter crashes: Panic: file virtual-search.c: line 77 (virtual_search_get_records): assertion failed: (result != 0)

Recovering deleted mailbox
by Sean McBride 14 May '22

14 May '22

Hi all, I have a user (coworker) that accidentally deleted a mailbox and all its sub-mailboxes. I use Maildir format storage. I have backups. Is it enough to put the mailbox folder back where it was? I'm talking about the folder that contains 'cur', 'new', 'tmp', 'dovecot-uidlist', etc. Or would this desynchronize or otherwise confuse dovecot? Or is it preferable to use some doveadm command? Or...? Thanks, Sean

how is the "Total number of known users" reported by doveadm replicator calculted?
by Arnaud Abélard 13 May '22

13 May '22

Hello, I have a question regarding the "Total number of known users" displayed by doveadm replicator status. How is it calculated? Shouldn't it match the number of users reported by doveadm user '*' ? I have 3 servers being replicated, the "total number of known users" a lot higher than the number of users reports by doveadm user '*' why is that?

FTS solr or xapian and Public Folders
by David Williams 13 May '22

13 May '22

Hi all I hope someone can help with this. I'm looking at setting up FTS on a Dovecot server which has some quite big pubic folders (100,000+ emails each) and would appreciate some info about how fts both Xapian and Solr works with public folders. As background of the folders can receive emails and I use a dummy user and an alias file to deliver them for example testfolder: dummy+Public/MYTESTFOLDER(a)example.com delivers email addressed to testfolder(a)example.com to MYTESTFOLDER in the namespace Public. Has anyone successfully setup FTS with public folders using either Xapian or Solr and what happens when one user changes a folder, does that change show up for other users? E.G.: When an email is delivered by dummy and indexed will that email be indexed for other users as well? Similarly what happens that when an email is moved between, deleted from or copied to public folders by one user will that change then show up for the other users or not? I guess the basic question is: Are public folders indexed once and then the indexes are made available to each user with access or are they indexed for each user? Any info or experience that anyone has will be appreciated. Many thanks David

I tried to copy a mailbox on the same server from src-account1 to dest-account2 and tried to follow this page https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/migrating_mailboxes/ I have tried to get this command running via IMAP but sadly I was not able to bring it up and running. doveadm -D backup -u src-account1 -R dest-account2 This was working but only for INBOX, is there a option to copy the src-account1 recursively? doveadm -D copy -u dest-account2 INBOX user src-account1 Please can anybody recommend a command to copy recursively mails from one mailbox to another on the same server. ``` doveadm config -n # 2.2.36.4 (baf9232c1): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.24.2 (aaba65b7) # OS: Linux 3.10.0-1160.59.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) # Hostname: mail.DOMAIN.com auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = PLAIN LOGIN deliver_log_format = from=%{from}, envelope_sender=%{from_envelope}, subject=%{subject}, msgid=%m, size=%{size}, %$ dict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-share-folder.conf quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-used-quota.conf } first_valid_uid = 2000 last_valid_uid = 2000 listen = * [::] mail_attribute_dict = file:%Lh/dovecot-attributes mail_gid = 2000 mail_location = maildir:%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=%Lh/Maildir/ mail_plugins = quota mailbox_alias acl mail_log notify stats mail_prefetch_count = 20 mail_uid = 2000 managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext imapsieve vnd.dovecot.imapsieve namespace { inbox = yes location = mailbox Archive { auto = no special_use = \Archive } mailbox Archives { auto = no special_use = \Archive } mailbox "Deleted Messages" { auto = no special_use = \Trash } mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox "Junk E-mail" { auto = no special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Items" { auto = no special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { auto = no special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = no special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { list = children location = maildir:%%Lh/Maildir/:INDEXPVT=%%Lh/Maildir/Shared/%%Ld/%%Ln prefix = Shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/var/vmail/sieve/report_spam.sieve imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/var/vmail/sieve/report_ham.sieve imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * imapsieve_url = sieve://192.168.122.173:4190 mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size from subject mailbox_alias_new = Sent Messages mailbox_alias_new2 = Sent Items mailbox_alias_old = Sent mailbox_alias_old2 = Sent quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_grace = 10%% quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-warning 100 %u quota_warning2 = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning3 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u quota_warning4 = storage=85%% quota-warning 85 %u sieve = ~/sieve/dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /var/vmail/sieve/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = /var/vmail/sieve sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.environment sieve_max_redirects = 30 sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/pipe sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms sieve_vacation_send_from_recipient = yes stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes } protocols = imap sieve lmtp recipient_delimiter = -

no full syncs after upgrading to dovecot 2.3.18
by Arnaud Abélard 12 May '22

12 May '22

Hello, I am working on replicating a server (and adding compression on the other side) and since I had "Error: dsync I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds (version not received)" errors I upgraded both source and destination server with the latest 2.3 version (2.3.18). While before the upgrade all the 15 replication connections were busy after upgrading dovecot replicator dsync-status shows that most of the time nothing is being replicated at all. I can see some brief replications that last, but 99,9% of the time nothing is happening at all. I have a replication_full_sync_interval of 12 hours but I have thousands of users with their last full sync over 90 hours ago. "doveadm replicator status" also shows that i have over 35,000 queued full resync requests, but no sync, high or low queued requests so why aren't the full requests occuring? There are no errors in the logs. Thanks, Arnaud -- Arnaud Abélard Responsable pôle Système et Stockage Service Infrastructures DSIN Université de Nantes -

dovecot + sieve: message recovery possible after rule pointed to invalid mailbox?
by Charles Gresham 09 May '22

09 May '22

Hi all, we face the following situation: 1, Customer created a mailbox (aka subfolder) "ABC" and setup a Pigeonhole Sieve script to file the messages into it. So fine, so good. All seemed to work out well. 2. Customer renamed the mailbox to, let's say, "CDE" and did not change the Sieve script accordingly. 3. We noticed this from a ~/.dovecot.sieve.log (after getting a complaint that messages were not arriving properly anymore :-o ): " sieve: info: started log at Apr 28 07:41:11. error: msgid=<433788c81ea044c4ae49cb39a6f673f3(a)ALB-DC-EXC08.CLPL.INTERN>: failed to store into mailbox 'ABC': Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2022-04-28 07:41:10]. " Does anybody in this list know if all these messages went to /dev/null - or else? If the latter: where/can we restore the messages? Which "server log" is meant in this error message? I couldn't find the information needed by going through https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/ <https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/#> but I wonder if all the messages end in digital nirvana if a user sieve script points to non-existing mailboxes? Thanks for any hint. Greetings, C.

Authentication type for lan and haproxy (internet)
by Kees van Vloten 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hi Team, Would it be possible to setup a different authentication method depending on the connection source? I would like to use oauth2 (with mfa) for connections from internet via haproxy, whereas on the lan I run samba-dc and hence AD (krb5) is the method to use. The latter is already setup and works fine, now I want to add oauth2 for haproxy connections (or outside lan ip-range). Here's the relevant bit of "dovecot -n": auth_default_realm = EXAMPLE.COM auth_gssapi_hostname = mailserver.example.com auth_krb5_keytab = /etc/keytab/dovecot.keytab auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = gssapi gss-spnego plain auth_realms = EXAMPLE.COM passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap pass = yes } passdb { driver = pam } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } - Kees.

director service tries to start without any configuration
by Eirik Rye 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hello, - Dovecot 2.3.18 (originally Dovecot 2.3.16, but upgraded in an attempt to fix issue) - Ubuntu 20.04 using Dovecot repo In my organization have run a cluster of dovecot proxy machines, with the director service enabled in a transition period as we have migrated all our users to do direct proxying to backend (e.g. `proxy=y, host=192.168.0.2`), bypassing the director service. Now that all users have been migrated, it is time to disable the director service. However, even after removing all director configuration ("doveconf -n | grep director" returns nothing) and restarting the entire dovecot service (not just "doveadm reload"), the error log still spits out these errors: 2022-04-29T11:27:25+0200 director: Error: Empty server list 2022-04-29T11:27:25+0200 director: Fatal: Invalid value for director_mail_servers setting 2022-04-29T11:27:25+0200 master: Error: service(director): command startup failed, throttling for 60.000 secs Why is this happening? It's not critical, and logins work fine without the director service running, but I'm trying to figure out why and stop the log noise. doveconf stuff: root@director03:~# doveconf -n | grep director # Hostname: director03 root@director03:~# doveconf -n # 2.3.18 (9dd8408c18): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.18 (0bc28b32) # OS: Linux 5.4.0-88-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS # Hostname: director03 debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log default_vsz_limit = 768 M disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it doveadm_port = 24245 event_exporter log { format = json format_args = time-rfc3339 transport = log } imap_id_retain = yes info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log lmtp_add_received_header = no lmtp_proxy = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.err log_timestamp = "%FT%T%z " login_greeting = %{hostname} ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> orig=<%{orig_user}> method=%m proto=%s rip=%r lip=%l session=<%{session}> %c %k login_proxy_max_disconnect_delay = 10 secs login_trusted_networks = <redacted> mail_plugins = quota managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext metric auth_passdb_request_finished { filter = event=auth_passdb_request_finished AND category=service:auth group_by = service passdb_name result } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-redis.conf.ext auth_verbose = yes driver = dict name = redis override_fields = proxy=y } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service doveadm { inet_listener http { port = 8080 } } service imap-login { client_limit = 2048 executable = imap-login inet_listener imap { address = port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { address = port = 993 ssl = yes } process_limit = 32 process_min_avail = 16 service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 1 G } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } } service managesieve-login { client_limit = 1024 executable = managesieve-login inet_listener sieve { address = port = 4190 } process_limit = 2 process_min_avail = 1 service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 1 G } service pop3-login { client_limit = 2048 executable = pop3-login inet_listener pop3 { address = port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { address = port = 995 ssl = yes } process_limit = 4 process_min_avail = 2 service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 1 G } service stats { client_limit = 65536 inet_listener http { port = 9900 } } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/wildcard.crt ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_min_protocol = TLSv1 verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 25 } protocol pop { mail_max_userip_connections = 25 } local 127.0.0.0/8 { doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it }

Informational messages written to ~/.dovecot.sieve.log
by Gedalya 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hi, After adding "vnd.dovecot.debug" to the require list at the top of a sieve script, informational messages started appearing in ~/.dovecot.sieve.log, even when debug_log was not used. The script looks like this: require ["fileinto","imap4flags","reject","duplicate","vnd.dovecot.debug"]; # rule:[Duplicate] if duplicate :header "X-dd-hash" :last { debug_log "Duplicate message, discarding"; discard; } [ .. more rules .. ] Log lines: sieve: info: started log at 2022-04-28 23:49:43 -0400. info: msgid=<xxxxxxxxx>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX'. (no rule matched) sieve: info: started log at 2022-04-29 00:51:40 -0400. info: msgid=<xxxxxxxxx>: fileinto action: stored mail into mailbox 'Alerts'. I would expect / prefer that the log would be used only when debug_log was used. With too many log messages, the interesting ones would get rotated out sooner than desired.

Can I set a different certificate per listen port?
by Kees van Vloten 28 Apr '22

28 Apr '22

Hi all, I am trying to setup dovecot to listen to imaps on the local network and through haproxy from the internet. service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } inet_listener imaps_haproxy { haproxy = yes port = 10993 ssl = yes } } Obviously the dns-name on the internet connection (10993) is different than on the lan (993). In the docs (https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/dovecot_ssl_configuration/) I found multiple options, but unfortunately none of those have the option to distinguish per listen port. Is there a way to setup two different certificates for the two listeners? - Kees

Heads-up: Exim 4.96 RC0 may break your Dovecot LDA delivery
by Kirill Miazine 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

Hi, all The just released RC0 for Exim 4.96 will break Dovecot LDA delivery as described on https://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Exim Here is the relevant ChangeLog entry: JH/25 Taint-check exec arguments for transport-initiated external processes. Previously, tainted values could be used. This affects "pipe", "lmtp" and "queryprogram" transport, transport-filter, and ETRN commands. The ${run} expansion is also affected: in "preexpand" mode no part of the command line may be tainted, in default mode the executable name may not be tainted. As of now I don't have a personal working solution to get untained data. I did try a small hack, but Exim was smart enough to see what I was doing. -- -- Kirill Miazine <km(a)krot.org>

auth between postfix and dovecot?
by ミユナ (alice) 25 Apr '22

25 Apr '22

hello experts, I have installed postfix and dovecot in the same machine. Their configure looks as: service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { mode = 0600 user = postfix group = postfix } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix group = postfix } auth_mechanisms = plain login !include auth-passwdfile.conf.ext my question is: when postfix talks to dovecot, does it require user's username/password for authentication? or this communication just goes without authentication? I asked this, b/c my webmail send mail from localhost has been going without authentication to postifx. so i am not sure if postfix talks to dovecot without requiring auth too. Thanks alice

replication fails with "Error: sync: Unknown user in remote" but user shows up in doveadm user "*"
by Arnaud Abélard 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

Hello, I've been trying to replicate a production server (debian buster, dovecot 2.3.4.1). But I nothing is actually being replicated and for each attempted user the message "Error: sync: Unknown user in remote" is being logged. The ldap settings are actually the same on both server (source and destnation) and the "unknown user" is actually showing up in doveadm user "*" on the destination server. I had already replicated 2 servers and used the same settings. Am I missing something obvious here?

temporary block incoming messages to specific user
by Marc 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

Is it possible to block incoming messages from being delivered to a specific user in such a way that the MTA will try again later. I do not want these message to bounce. (eg while doing some manual maintenance on the user)?

JMAP Support Status
by David Klingenberg 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Hello, has there been any development on JMAP support in Dovecot? Also, I have noticed you planned to do some generic optimizations which could possibly make it easier to implement JMAP. What is status on that? https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2021-March/121620.html Best Regards, David Klingenberg

NFS Config vs Ceph / GlusterFS
by dovecot＠ptld.com 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Do all of the configuration considerations pertaining to using NFS on https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/nfs/ equally apply to using something like Ceph / GlusterFS? And if people wouldn't mind chiming in with which (NFS, Ceph & GlusterFS) they feel is better for maildir mail storage on dedicated non-container servers? Which is better for robustness / stability? Which is better for speed / performance? Thank you.

ssl_min_protocol appears to be ignored?
by Myriam Luce 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Hi, I'm trying to enable TLS1.0 support for an old client. Per dovecot -n # 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.7.2 () # OS: Linux 5.4.0-107-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS ext4 # Hostname: In 10-ssl.conf, I have set ssl_min_protocol = TLSv1 (It doesn't show in dovecot -n, I suspect because it's equal to default value?) I restarted dovecot with systemctl. Then, from another machine, openssl s_client -connect zeserver.com:993 -tls1 fails with this output: CONNECTED(00000003) 140166917489984:error:141E70BF:SSL routines:tls_construct_client_hello:no protocols available:../ssl/statem/statem_clnt.c:1112: --- no peer certificate available --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 0 bytes and written 7 bytes Verification: OK --- New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE) Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE No ALPN negotiated Early data was not sent Verify return code: 0 (ok) --- The same command with -tls1_2 works as intended (certificate printing, imap prompt). Am I forgetting something somewhere, or is this an actual bug?

What google is turning off is "third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password", i.e., using your google login password with "less secure" 3rd party apps. So, you need to set up, and configure your application to use, app passwords.

Dovecot and OAuth2 and gmail
by Steve Litt 13 Apr '22

13 Apr '22

Hi all, I'm not sure Dovecot has anything to do with this, but I'd rather ask and know for sure. I do the following: Gmail IMAP=>fetchmail=>procmail=>Dovecot IMAP Then, I view my Dovecot hosted email with Claws-Mail. I understand that on May 31, 2022, current methods to access Gmail IMAP will turn into pumpkins because of insistence on OAuth2. Do I need to do anything to Dovecot to get ready for this Mass Extinction Event? Do you think I'll need to dump fetchmail for something else?

Permissions and ownership on /dev/shm/dovecot
by doug 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

Hi, Environment: Dovecot 2.3.18 running on CentOS 7, mdbox, LDAP users I'm in the process of moving my mailboxes to NFS and moving with lock and index files in temp storage following instructions from https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/nfs. I set mail_location as: mail_location = mdbox:/mailstore/%u/mail:VOLATILEDIR=/dev/shm/dovecot/%u:LISTINDEX=/dev/shm/dovecot/%u/dovecot.list.index What I discovered is /dev/shm/dovecot is created by the initial user who accesses their mail from a client, and with permissions 700. This prevents subsequent users from creating their own index and lock files. # ls -l /dev/shm/dovecot total 0 drwx------ 2 mary users 60 Mar 25 10:00 mary Sample error message from maillog during mail delivery and from a dsync script. Mar 25 10:37:15 mailsrv1 dovecot: imap(doug)<19284><WKcX5gvbRe7AqFhA>: Error: mkdir(/dev/shm/dovecot/doug) failed: Permission denied (euid=1002(doug) egid=100(users) missing +x perm: /dev/shm/dovecot, dir owned by 97:100 mode=0700) dsync(test): Error: mkdir(/dev/shm/dovecot/test) failed: Permission denied (euid=2003(test) egid=100(users) missing +x perm: /dev/shm/dovecot, dir owned by 97:100 mode=0700) I couldn't locate documentation or discussions on how to set the ownership or permissions for /dev/shm/dovecot in the Dovecot configuration files. As a hack, I added this to /usr/libexec/dovecot/prestartscript. ! [[ -d /dev/shm/dovecot ]] && mkdir /dev/shm/dovecot chown dovecot:users /dev/shm/dovecot chmod 770 /dev/shm/dovecot This solved the problem, but left me wondering if I missed something obvious or if I am setting myself up for a problem later on, like with a Dovecot version upgrade. I could run these commands at bootup out of rc.local or a systemd script rather than customizing a Dovecot provided script. Is there a appropriate way of doing this that I missed? TIA, Doug

Set up per user sieve rules
by Austin Witmer 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

Hello! I am struggling to wrap my mind around how to set up sieve rules for my individual users on my mail server. I set up a global sieve script file at "/var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve” and that works great. My users maildirs are located at /mnt/volume1/mailserver/maildir/user. Do I need to create a sieve script file inside of that folder for sieve scripts to work on an individual basis? If so, what permissions will that script file need? Thanks in advance for your help!

Dovecot 2.3.13 virtual mailboxes subscription problem
by Slavko 10 Apr '22

10 Apr '22

Hi, by discussion on IRC channel is post details here. I am using virtual plugin in dovecot 2.3.13 and i have porblems with subsription to these virtual mailboxes. I can setup autosubscribe to them and it works as expected. I can SUBSCRIBE to them, dovecot returns OK and they are added in subscriptions file, but then they are not shown in LSUB output. I can UNSUBSCRIBE from subscribed virtual mailbox (dovecot returns OK), but it is not removed from subscriptions file and remains there... I bother with this for long time. I tried to setup mailboxes without UTF-8 chars, but that doesn't matter nad currently problematic mailbox has not any nonASCII char (Virtual.Dnes). I tried to define mailboxes in parent namespace too, doesn't help, nor defining only Virtual in parent namespace (with and without separator at end). Some evidence follows. The (my) subscriptions file (the Virtual.Dnes is at end): --------------------------------------------------------- V 2 <snip> Virtual Dnes --------------------------------------------------------- IMAP LIST (only Virtual namespace), as shown by dovecot's imap command: --------------------------------------------------------- * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SNIPPET=FUZZY PREVIEW=FUZZY STATUS=SIZE SAVEDATE LITERAL+ NOTIFY METADATA SPECIAL-USE QUOTA ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in as slavko(a)slavino.sk <snip> * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "."

Verejn&AOk- * LIST (\HasNoChildren \UnMarked) "." Verejn&AOk-.Novinky . OK List completed (0.004 + 0.000 + 0.003 secs). --------------------------------------------------------- One can see that there are three virtual mailboxes, the Virtual.Dnes, the Virtual.Dôležité (encoded) and the Virtual.Prílohy (encoded too), including Virtual namespace. IMAP LSUB output (again only Virtual namespace): --------------------------------------------------------- * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SNIPPET=FUZZY PREVIEW=FUZZY STATUS=SIZE SAVEDATE LITERAL+ NOTIFY METADATA SPECIAL-USE QUOTA ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in as slavko(a)slavino.sk <snip> * LSUB () "."

Virtual.Pr&AO0-lohy a OK Lsub completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). --------------------------------------------------------- As one can see, there are only auto-subscribed Virtual mailboxes, the Virtual.Dnes is missing, despite that it is in subscriptions file.

What is the current state of High Availability Dovecot ?

Postfix - Dovecot alias
by John Doe 09 Apr '22

Unable to write *.sieve files while Dovecot is running
by Ralph Seichter 08 Apr '22

08 Apr '22

I noticed lately that I can no longer modify *.sieve files while Dovecot is running. Write operations appear not to be permitted anymore: $ echo >> example.sieve zsh: permission denied: example.sieve Text editors like vim cannot write either. Since I used to be able to modify Sieve source files on the fly, I am wondering if the behaviour I see nowadays is intentional? Doveconf reports the following versions: # 2.3.14.1 (9f0cfb6426): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.14 (1b5c82b2) # OS: Linux 5.17.1-gentoo-r1-x86_64 x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.7 -Ralph

Problem with initial sync on new mailbox in a replicated setup
by ppq＠tuta.io 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

Hello, I run a two-node replicated setup with director + dovecot and replication between the two nodes. The setup is a couple of years old and has been working properly until recently, so I suspect some type of regression. I'm having an issue with replication and merging of newly created mailboxes. Old mailboxes work properly. When creating a new mailbox, the two nodes will not replicate and sync the new mailbox. I have to manually "merge" the mailbox via a "doveadm sync -1f..." command, after which all works properly. This has not been the case in the past, so I'm trying to debug the issue. When syncing manually, I get the following error: ----------------------------- # doveadm -v sync -df -u 'testaccount(a)mydomain.ext' doveadm(testaccount(a)mydomain.ext)<38041><wl3tAQ5LTWKZlAAAxdOQ8Q>: Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync. You may want to run dsync again: Remote lost mailbox GUID 6bfcbb2f92484d624b890000c5d390f1 (maybe it was just deleted?) ---------------------------- I have to sync once with a one-way merge using sync -1f and after the sync works properly. My setup is running Dovecot CE 2:2.3.18-4+debian11 from the dovecot.org repository installed on debian bullseye. The replicaiton is dove via TCP plaintext connection. Below I'm attaching some debug logs, for both sync -1f and sync -f. Is this a normal behavior or is this a bug ? Kind regards, Dave ---- CUT ---- # doveadm -v sync -df -u 'testaccount(a)mydomain.ext' Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm 2022-04-06 10:12:17 Debug: Loading

resend whole inbox to user
by Marc 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

I was wondering if there is some way to force an imap client to 're-download' all the messages from the inbox. I can remember in the 'old days' that when the connection was dropped during a pop download, the whole inbox was re-downloaded, resulting in quite a lot of duplicates. I am looking for such action.

macOS ManageSieve client?
by Gerben Wierda 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

I have a dovecot & dovecot-sieve running under MacPorts on my macOS ’server’. I do a very low tech maintenance on sieve, by using the cli on the server and edit sieve by hand for myself. I’d like to open this up to other users. How do people use this from their macOS clients? For this, the ManageSieve protocol exists and this is implemented by dovecot-sieve, but other than installing roundcube and offering a web-based mail client that also supports ManageSieve, is there another way? A ManageSieve client that directly runs on the macOS client and interfaces with dovecot-sieve on the server? After all, routing mail to different mailboxes better happens server-side so that all clients profit.

Support of "extlists" in sieve filters
by Marcin Bajer 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Hi all, Don’t really know if this is sth. to post on this forum, but I tried to make a sieve filter which tags mails from my contacts by the category of the contact. Seems this feature is available in Protonmail: https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/sieve-advanced-custom-filters/ require [“fileinto”, “extlists”]; Checks that the sender is in your personal address book if header :list “from” “:addrbook:personal?label=Family” { fileinto “Known”; } Would it be possible to implement such feature also in dovecot? BR, Marcin

Replication issues with 2.3.18 - Replication fails after xxx folders reached.
by Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet) 02 Apr '22

02 Apr '22

please appreciate that i am trying to help .... after much testing i can now reporduce the replication issues at hand I am running on freebsd 12 & 13 stable (both test and production servers) sdram drives etc ... Basically replication works fine until reaching a folder quantity of ~ 256 or more to reproduce using doveadm i created folders like INBOX/folder-0 INBOX/folder-1 INBOX/folder-2 INBOX/folder-3 and so forth ...... I created 200 folders and they replicated ok on both servers I created another 200 (400 total) and the replicator got stuck and would not update the mbox on the alternate server anymore and is still updating 4 days later ? basically replicator goes so far and either hangs or more likely bails on an error that is not reported to the debug reporting ? however dsync will sync the two servers but only when run manually (ie all the folders will sync) I have two test servers avaliable if you need any kind of access - again here to help. [07:28:42] mail18.scom.ca [root:0] ~ # sync.status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 6 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 0 Waiting 'failed' requests 0 Total number of known users 255 username type status paul(a)scom.ca normal Waiting for dsync to finish keith(a)elirpa.com incremental Waiting for dsync to finish ed.hanna(a)dssmgmt.com incremental Waiting for dsync to finish ed(a)scom.ca incremental Waiting for dsync to finish nick(a)elirpa.com incremental Waiting for dsync to finish paul(a)paulkudla.net incremental Waiting for dsync to finish i have been going through the c code and it seems the replication gets requested ok replicator.db does get updated ok with the replicated request for the mbox in question. however i am still looking for the actual replicator function in the lib's that do the actual replication requests the number of folders & subfolders is defanately the issue - not the mbox pyhsical size as thought origionally. if someone can point me in the right direction, it seems either the replicator is not picking up on the number of folders to replicat properly or it has a hard set limit like 256 / 512 / 65535 etc and stops the replication request thereafter. I am mainly a machine code programmer from the 80's and have concentrated on python as of late, 'c' i am starting to go through just to give you a background on my talents. It took 2 months to finger this out. this issue also seems to be indirectly causing the duplicate messages supression not to work as well. python programming to reproduce issue (loops are for last run started @ 200 - fyi) : # cat mbox.gen #!/usr/local/bin/python2 import os,sys from lib import * user = 'paul(a)paulkudla.net' """ for count in range (0,600) : box = 'INBOX/folder-%s' %count print count command = '/usr/local/bin/doveadm mailbox create -s -u %s %s' %(user,box) print command a = commands.getoutput(command) print a """ for count in range (0,600) : box = 'INBOX/folder-0/sub-%' %count print count command = '/usr/local/bin/doveadm mailbox create -s -u %s %s' %(user,box) print command a = commands.getoutput(command) print a #sys.exit()

falsely log "auth: unknown user" when multiple userdb
by Anthony Panko 01 Apr '22

01 Apr '22

Hello, When there is a multiple userdb to look for user, Dovecot log «auth: unknown user» when the first userdb search failed. Then Dovecot successfully search user in the second userdb and things works. But "auth: unknown user" event left in a logs. Logs look like this: Apr 1 12:38:48 mail dovecot[75384]: lmtp(75397): Connect from 127.0.5.1 Apr 1 12:38:48 mail dovecot[75384]: auth: ldap(order(a)XXX,127.0.5.1): unknown user Apr 1 12:38:48 mail dovecot[75384]: lmtp(order)<75397><D8m2HCjIRmKFJgEAABdyCg>: msgid=<157609214.20220331172309@YYY>: saved mail to INBOX Debug show failed search in the first userdb and successfull search in the second userdb. When user found in the first userdb «unknown user» event does not appear. Configuration is: userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/udb-ldap-personal.conf driver = ldap override_fields = home=/mnt/mboxes/personal/%n } userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/udb-ldap-general.conf driver = ldap override_fields = home=/mnt/mboxes/general/%n } Dovecot verision is 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a). -- Best regards, Anthony Pankov

Dovecot Submission - rate limiting
by itanguy＠univ-brest.fr 31 Mar '22

31 Mar '22

Hello, is there any way to rate limit submission mail (counting per user) when using Dovecot/Submission (no Postfix)? Using a milter seems impossible. Using Dovecot Events seems "too" global (not per users discrimination). Maybe rate-limiting has to be external and then include in the pass_db query ? Thank your for any hints. Ismaël Tanguy

Simplifying Support of Virtual and System Users
by Mark Olbert 29 Mar '22

29 Mar '22

Apologies if this has already been raised here (which I suspect it has 😊). I tried to raise it as an issue over on github but issues are not enabled for the repository. The support for mixing virtual users, with fully-qualified email addresses, and system users could be simpler. Assuming it doesn’t mess up other stuff in the code base, of course 😊. The problem appears to be that the PAM passwd module requires just user names without a domain (which makes sense given that they’re system users) but does not, so far as I can see, support the username_format argument. In my setup, the default structure of 10-auth.conf demonstrates this: auth_username_format = %n That means all username arguments lack the domain part…which complicates using fully-qualified ones for virtual users. I realize I could assign arbitrary unique names to the virtual accounts in the lookup file. But that complicates administering the system, so I want to be able to include the domain for virtual users. After about five hair-pulling hours of wrestling with the configuration I stumbled across an answer utilizing conditionals<https://serverfault.com/questions/260488/dovecot-user-lookup-fails-when-usi…> on ServerFault. It works fine. But being able to pass a username_format parameter to the PAM module (which I tried, but it was rejected) would be a lot simpler, and a lot more intuitive. - Mark

Private \seen flags lost during message move for other users
by Cube . 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Hello, I have a shared mailbox set up with a private index: maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/public Per user \Seen flags are working fine until one user moves a message into another folder/sub-mailbox. For that user doing the move the message remains \Seen however for other users who have already seen the message the flag is lost and it appears unread in the new location. If the message is moved back it still appears unread to the other user even if had been read in that folder/sub-mailbox in the past. Is there anyway to retain per user \Seen that follows the message when its moved? Thank you.

dovecot replication on dovecot v 2.3.8
by Stephane Magnier 27 Mar '22

27 Mar '22

Hi, I am trying using a replication. Here is my config : 10-mail.conf. Before going " on real life " I try to make a very basic example... but without any success :-( bad start I took the config example on dovecot wiki The idea is to replicate the user: "user1" on a different server IP 177.28.1.120 at the location /home/SERVER/test and to get at the end the folder "/home/SERVER/test/user1" On the top, I wish to replication with the user / group : vmail. For the transfer, I use the root login on the backup server to avoid other rights problems at the moment 2) how to synchronized specific users ? apparently it's trying to sync other things.. :-) # mbox_very_dirty_syncs = yes mail_plugins=$mail_plugins quota notify replication service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 } dsync_remote_cmd = ssh -l root 177.28.1.120 doveadm dsync-server -u user1 plugin { mail_replica =remote:root@177.28.1.120:/home/SERVER/test/ } service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail } } service replicator { unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } replication_max_conns = 10 But apparently nothing is happening....

log failed plaintext password for specific user only
by mj 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

Hi, We are logging failed authentication attempts, with the attempted password as auth_verbose_passwords=sha1 The question: is it possible to configure auth_verbose_passwords=plain for a specific user only? Turning it on globally would be too much sensitive information for the purpose. Reason: We are currently observing a high number of failed authentications for a specific user, coming from *many* diffirent IPs across the globe, with most IPs only trying once or twice, making this difficult to block. The number of failed authentications cause this account to regularly become blocked in AD. We would like to know if they are trying older actual passwords from the user, or if it's just dictionary attack. Thanks!

Setting imap-login process_limit when service_count>1
by Joseph Tam 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

More of my users are accessing mail remotely, which probably explained why I started seeing Mar 18 05:50:34 dovecot: master: Warning: service(imap-login): process_limit (2) reached, client connections are being dropped I played around with increasing limits, but made the mistake of setting service_count to a value other than 0 and 1. service imap-login { client_limit = 1024 service_count = 10240 process_min_avail = 2 process_limit = 8 } Doubling and redoubling process_limit and increasing service_count didn't prevent IMAP from eventually grinding to a halt because process_limit was reached. Mar 18 12:36:12 dovecot: master: Warning: service(imap-login): process_limit (4) reached, client connections are being dropped Mar 18 20:39:48 viol dovecot: master: Warning: service(imap-login): process_limit (8) reached, client connections are being dropped Observing the way imap-login processes spawn and retain file descriptors, I finally understood the subtlety of [1], which explains that imap-login will not exit despite reaching service_count if one SSL connection is still open. With many long-lived client connections, the asymptotic behaviour is that the total #clients plateaus, but get spread out over many imap-login processes, with many lingering on to hold a few SSL connections. For service_count>1, process_limit should be set to a large fraction of peak simultaneous clients (i.e. the same value used when service_count=1), otherwise there is a high likelihood of running into process_limit and game over. Given this behaviour, there doesn't seem much sense in setting service_count to anything but 0 (unlimited => performance mode) or 1 (security mode). Setting to other values supposedly limit memory leaks, but if a single persistent SSL client can hold up an imap-login process from exiting and releasing memory, it seems to negate this purpose. Anyways, maybe [1] can mention this so others don't fall into the same pit I did. References [1] https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/login_processes/ Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

ok replication does not work
by Paul Kudla (SCOM.CA Internet) 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

would someone please send me the standard that you are working towards (rfc stuff) in the mean time a bad email or folder or both are simply causing replication not to work no there is no logging of any kind of an error i would appreciate the info as i will start ripping down the c code to fix this doveadm / replication (seems to be seperate ???) remote , tcp tcps nothing works your co operation on this matter would be appreciated i dumped the 5 accounts listed below started from scratch and it just simply DOES NOT WORK all account replicate except for # sync.status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 5 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 0 Waiting 'failed' requests 0 Total number of known users 255 username type status paul(a)scom.ca incremental Waiting for dsync to finish nick(a)elirpa.com incremental Waiting for dsync to finish keith(a)elirpa.com incremental Waiting for dsync to finish ed.hanna(a)dssmgmt.com incremental Waiting for dsync to finish ed(a)scom.ca incremental Waiting for dsync to finish always the same five accounts and always they choke without any info i am forced to do a sync every five minutes (ten minute intevals) to keep the servers in sync. someone please give me a standard to work with otherwise the hacks that i do will be exactly that a hack???

imap_metadata plugin panic
by Elisamuel Resto 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

Hello, This may be covered somewhere but recently I enabled the metadata plugin to work with sieve as part of some updates I did a while back and I hadn't checked my logs for any issues with it and so far they're not completely taking my system down. Right now, upon trying to delete a folder I noticed the following in my logs... what am I missing? I see the broken SQL query, but I don't know enough about the dict system or the metadata plugin to know how to add the missing information or fix it otherwise. Regards, Elisamuel Resto Nov 15 12:19:19 wyvern dovecot[461]: dict(51438): Panic: lib-sql: Too many bind args (2) for statement: SELECT meta_key FROM metadata WHERE meta_key LIKE AND username = ?

Disconnected: Shutting down (disconnected while authenticating) :: after mysql restart :: bug?
by rudolf＠padaru.de 17 Mar '22

17 Mar '22

Good morning list, i looking for a while for a solution above problem. We use dovecot 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b) (Ubuntu 20.04) and 2.3.13 (89f716dc2) (Ubuntu 18.04) . Often we have the problem, that the authentication (dovecot <-> mysql) dont work after an mysql restart. Unfortunately i cant reproduce this problem, if i restart the mysql-server the authentication work when the database is up again. If we have this problem it is enough to reload the dovecot. So that the auth-worker will reconnect and everything is fine again. I have tried to encircle the problem with verbose auth-logging a wile ago but i only see timeouts from the auth-worker while mysql is running But this is not the solution für the problem. Is there an option i can set to force the auth-worker to reconnect? Maybe an timeout or something else? Or is there an value set to high in my conf? Somethin like the idle_kill from anvil service? Or is it simply a bug? doveconf output: auth_anonymous_username = anonymous auth_cache_negative_ttl = 1 hours auth_cache_size = 0 auth_cache_ttl = 1 hours auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker = no

Finding Users Over Quota
by dovecot＠ptld.com 17 Mar '22

17 Mar '22

Using doveadm quota will let you see if a specific user is over quota. Is there a way to have dovecot tell you which users are currently over quota? Is the quota_clone plugin a way to save user quota to dict like how last_login saves to dict? The documentation for quota_clone is MIA.

SIS and tracing the origin of an attachment
by doug 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

Hi All, I'm trying to trace an attachment within an SIS subdirectory to the email message(s) that link to it. I say messages because I'm also using dovecot dedup. My understanding is the linked file name is the hash value of the attachments contents concatenated with the GUID of the email message. I have had marginal success with a message I created myself. Example: I generated an email with two attachments. Here are the links in my attachment directory. ./26/c5/26c5c540d41779d83d2f5388041d05c67d720d9a-73eca8051acd276272310000f2bc99a3 ./65/cd/65cd73112a489ef07f17ed5740aa60358e2dd3fb-74eca8051acd276272310000f2bc99a3 In my sent folder the actual GUID of the message is 75eca8051acd276272310000f2bc99a3. So the GUID of the attachment is based on the GUID of the message, but not exact. The second hex byte seems to be decremented as an offset of the attachment index from the GUID of the message. At least in my one example. # doveadm dump /mailstore/doug/mail/mailboxes/Sent/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index | grep guid | tail -1 - guid: 75eca8051acd276272310000f2bc99a3 With that actual GUID I can find the message with a search: # doveadm search -u doug mailbox Sent guid 75eca8051acd276272310000f2bc99a3 doug e5711f1cf2c9294f71090000059b96e4 53526 Now let's try to track down another email when only the HASH-GUID value is known. Here is one randomly picked. ./00/a2/00a2d5de3e41053d59bd10084826bbe094aa1c59-57857b09d1a327627e260000f2bc99a3 # doveadm search -A mailbox '*' guid 57857b09d1a327627e260000f2bc99a3 # doveadm search -A mailbox '*' guid 58857b09d1a327627e260000f2bc99a3 # doveadm search -A mailbox '*' guid 59857b09d1a327627e260000f2bc99a3 I repeated this incrementing and decrementing from 5085... through 5f85... and never located the message. This seems like it should be trivial but I've been struggling with it for days. The GUID isn't random, there must be a way to track the attachment back. What am I missing? And for those wondering why, our virus scanner flagged a number of attachments, some with several links, and I want ask the users to delete the offending messages so I can purge them from the server. If I can find the emails I can give them the mail folder, date/time, and subject of the message. -- Doug

invalid lz4 chunk size??
by Joachim Lindenberg 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

Hello, when accessing one mailbox via ActiveSync / SoGo / Dovecot I get the following error repeatedly in dovecot log: imap(somemailbox(a)example.org)<1579><***>: Error: Mailbox Sent: UID=1553: read(compress()) failed: read() failed: lz4.read(): invalid lz4 chunk size: 1601505441 at 16842752 (read reason=) I can still access the mailbox via IMAP though. What can I do to resolve the issue? Thanks, Joachim

sieve-filter not respecting :create flag of fileinto
by David Arroyo 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

Hello, I recently significantly modified my sieve rules for filing mailing list posts in my Fastmail inbox. The rules contain a few rules that file mail like so: fileinto :create ml.${5}${4}{$3}{$2}{$1}; # reversed list-id The rules work as expected on delivery to fastmail. Because these rules only run on delivery, and the new folder layout is different from my existing one, I want to apply the rules to my existing mail. I thought dovecot's `sieve-filter` command, together with the `imapc` storage backend, would be a good way to do that, so I moved some existing mail into a folder, `sieve-test`, and ran the following: sieve-filter -x '+editheader +mailbox' -W -e rules.sieve sieve-test However, what I see is that sieve-filter fails when the new directory does not exist. Here is some example (redacted) output: Info: imapc(imap.fastmail.com:993): Connected to x.x.x.x:993 (local x.x.x.x) error: msgid=<xxx>: fileinto action: failed to store into mailbox 'ml.gnu.guix-devel': Mailbox does not exist. sieve-filter(me): Info: sieve: msgid=<xxx>: left message in mailbox 'sieve-test' error: sieve script execution failed for this message; message left in source mailbox. sieve-filter(me): Info: sieve: msgid=<yyy>: fileinto action: stored mail into mailbox 'ml.9fans.9fans' My config looks like this: protocols = none mail_location = imapc: namespace { inbox = yes separator = . } imapc_host = imap.fastmail.com imapc_port = 993 imapc_ssl = imaps imapc_user = $username If this is a bug in sieve-filter I'd be happy to try and fix it, but I'm reaching out here first to see if this is expected behavior or a misconfiguration on my part. Thanks for any help, David

mdbox_rotate_size recommendation / performance
by Lucas Rolff 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Hi guys, When using mdbox under Dovecot, the mdbox_rotate_size setting defaults to 10 megabyte - from a performance point of view if using spinning drives does this matter whether one goes for e.g. 2MB versus 10MB, especially in the combination with compression. Does anyone have any performance data regarding it’s size, and what’s a decent trade-off between limiting IOPS required by the drive versus the sequential read/write speeds. Any pointers would be awesome! Thanks in advance

AntiVirus in Maildir
by Masakazu Hirose 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Hi all, I run a mail server on Maildir. Does Dovecot work correctly if I delete the mail files stored in Maildir? Do I need to run the doveadm command? I want to run a virus scan on Maildir. When a virus is detected, the mail file is deleted without notifying Dovecot. I assumed this was incorrect behavior for Dovecot. Please help me when someone has time. Thanks, Masa

allow_nets equivalent for all users?
by Bryan K. Walton 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Hi, It is my understanding that allow_nets is a field that gets used in a password database, and therefore is a per-user setting. Is there an equivalent method for defining allowed network(s) for ALL users? In other words, a single setting that applies to every user? Thanks, Bryan

Possible bug interaction between Dovecot and Thunderbird 98/99 email client
by Arthur Koziol 11 Mar '22

11 Mar '22

Hi Dovecot devs, My name is Arthur. I'm a volunteer with Mozilla and am working with a user who's having some odd issues with his Thunderbird email client. I'm reaching out to you folks because he's using an at-home IMAP setup with Dovecot. It's not 100% clear if his setup is polling his GMail accounts and then pulling everything to his Dovecot setup but if there's any interesting in jumping into the bug we're trying to help this user with, feel free to browse the bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1726319 I asked the user if he's reached out to the Dovecot devs yet but he's not replied. We're not sure if this is a Dovecot / setup issue, a Thunderbird issue or something in between but we could use some other eyes and ideas of what to check for this user if you guys have a couple seconds to take a look. Thanks for reading. best, Arthur

Can't create viable password hashes
by David Griffith 11 Mar '22

11 Mar '22

I recently discovered that I can no longer create viable password hashes for use in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.passwd. So far, I've been using the following command done by root: doveadm_cmd pw -s SHA512-CRYPT -u joe -p mypassword This creates something that looks legit, but dovecot won't accept it. I've been using my own solution for allowing users to change their dovecot passwords (https://gitlab.com/DavidGriffith/dovepasswd) and this is how it generates the hashes. Is there a better way of going about this? -- David Griffith dave(a)661.org A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.

Replicator Issues on Large Mail Boxes

Pigeonhole Sieve: Vacation Extension issue
by Zakaria 05 Mar '22

05 Mar '22

Hi there, I wondered if there is any one who can help me out on this issue. I tried to setup the vacation extension, and it works fine if the Return-Path header and Envelope-From field in Received wasn’t rewritten and contains the actual sender email address which the vacation extension will retrieve from and reply to. Given, I’ve rewritten both headers, to modify TLS connection mailed-by address and I had to revert back to get the vacation extension working, I wondered if there is anyone know how to modify the Sieve settings in Dovecot config for LMTP/LDA and Sieve, or Sieve script rules to retrieve sender email address from From header or any other specific header? If it's not possible, it would be so good if its implemented, it doesn’t seem to be a hard task, so please log this as a feature request. With thanks. Zakaria. Btw, all my prayers and solidarity I send out to Ukraine, Russia and the rest of Europe, and the world, and the sick from this and COVID and alike. We should value one another, Seriously, Putin must urgently stop giving to who want destruction and harm in Europe and manipulating behind the scene such devil affair and leading to this very sickening and unacceptable horror. Palestine deserve justice than preoccupying the world with creating more injustices.

doveadm quota get hangs for 60 seconds (some analysis done)
by jaroslav＠thinline.cz 05 Mar '22

05 Mar '22

Hello, I encountered somewhat strange behaviour when running doveadm quota get with wildcard username (all usernames are in user@domain format): doveadm -f pager quota get -u *(a)example.domain The command hangs for 60 seconds before returning its result. I tried to dig into the issue a bit using strace and found out that there seems to be some kind of communication mismatch between Dovecot processes. Here is what I found - sorry for the wall of text, strace outputs tend to be large, I tried to reduce them as much as possible. I also tried to draw some conclusions below. This is from strace in the doveadm process, it connects to auth-userdb and requests list of users 1646473083.263021 connect(10, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/run/dovecot/auth-userdb"}, 110) = 0 1646473083.263627 write(10, "VERSION\t1\t0\nLIST\t1\tuser=*(a)example.domain\n", 47) = 47 1646473083.263807 read(10, "VERSION\t1\t1\nSPID\t30012\n", 8192) = 23 1646473084.188212 read(10, "LIST\t1\tuser1@notthat.domain\nLIST\t1\tuser2@another.domain\nLIST\t1\tuser3@also.not\nLIST\t1\t.... This list goes on, the server has over 10000 user accounts. (As a side note, this behaviour struck me as strange - I would expect that the result would be filtered by the server side of the connection, only listing users that match the requested wildcard. I don't know anything about Dovecot internals though, so this might be perfectly normal.) At some point the returned data contain users doveadm is interested in (ie. users that match the wildcard) and requests their information from other Dovecot services, this is an excerpt for a dict service: 1646473084.224608 connect(13, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/run/dovecot/dict"}, 110) = 0 1646473084.225617 write(13, "H2\t2\t0\trelevantuser(a)example.domain\tsqldomainquota\n", 50) = 50 No data are read from FD 10 during this time. When all users are queried, reading from FD 10 resumes 1646473084.274405 read(10, "ifth.domain\nLIST\t1\tuser987(a)domain.six\nLIST\t1\t... At this point though, the process gets stuck: 1646473084.274514 epoll_wait(11, [], 1, 0) = 0 1646473084.274555 read(10, 0x5620076d79dd, 6035) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) 1646473084.274601 epoll_wait(11, [{EPOLLIN, {u32=124338208, u64=94695563280416}}], 1, 155000) = 1 It resumes after 60 seconds, reads some more users and then receives string "DONE" 1646473144.287149 read(10, "LIST\t1\tuser456@domain.seven\nLIST\t1\tuser123@domain.e8\nLIST\t1\tuser7865@dom.nine\n", 6035) = 99 1646473144.287149 read(10, "LIST\t1\t ... ", 5936) = 82 ... 1646473144.294373 epoll_wait(11, [{EPOLLIN, {u32=124338208, u64=94695563280416}}], 1, 155000) = 1 1646473144.307846 read(10, "DONE\t1\t\n", 1611) = 8 Note that at this point the read syscall is no longer trucated. As opposed to reads above, which amounted to 8kB blocks, these are reading few addresses at a time. After the "DONE" string is received, there is no more communication with other Dovecot processes, doveadm prints out results to the console and terminates. Next I investigated the auth process. 1646473083.263121 accept(11, {sa_family=AF_UNIX}, [28->2]) = 23 1646473083.263181 getsockname(23, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/run/dovecot/auth-userdb"}, [28->27]) = 0 1646473083.263690 read(23, "VERSION\t1\t0\nLIST\t1\tuser=*(a)example.domain\n", 1024) = 47 1646473083.263939 connect(24, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="auth-worker"}, 110) = 0 1646473083.264228 write(24, "VERSION\tauth-worker\t1\t0\nDBHASH\t1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef\tfedcba0987654321fedcba0987654321\n", 97) = 97 1646473083.264271 writev(24, [{iov_base="1\t", iov_len=2}, {iov_base="LIST\t1\tuser=*(a)example.domain\tservice=\toriginal-username", iov_len=61}, {iov_base="\n", iov_len=1}], 3) = 64 1646473084.187567 read(24, "1\t*\tuser1(a)notthat.domain\n1\t*\t... 1646473084.187977 write(23, "LIST\t1\tuser1(a)notthat.domain\nLIST\t1\t Reads and writes alternate until these syscalls: 1646473084.238938 read(24, " ... \n1\tOK\n", 8167) = 5354 1646473084.239108 write(23, "LIST\t1\t ... , 51224) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) 1646473084.239536 write(23, "LIST\t1\t ... , 51224) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) From the timing this looks like a kernel buffer for the connection is filled because the other side is not reading the data. This matches strace from doveadm which is at this point reading information about quotas from dict service (timestamp 1646473084.225617.) Auth process seems to react to this by putting the FD on epoll list and then it goes to handle other connections. FD 24 is removed from the epoll list at the same time: 1646473084.239926 epoll_ctl(14, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, 23, {EPOLLOUT|EPOLLERR|EPOLLHUP, {u32=109861328, u64=94566699784656}}) = 0 1646473084.239980 epoll_ctl(14, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 24, 0x7ffca3a9ae2c) = 0 FD 23 becomes writable relatively quickly, pending data is written to it and read from FD 24 is attempted with no data available: 1646473084.270224 epoll_ctl(14, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 23, 0x7ffca3a9ae5c) = 0 1646473084.270271 write(23, "LIST\t1\t ... , 51224) = 51224 1646473084.270620 epoll_ctl(14, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, 24, {EPOLLIN|EPOLLPRI|EPOLLERR|EPOLLHUP, {u32=109860944, u64=94566699784272}}) = 0 1646473084.270712 read(24, 0x5602069198e3, 2813) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) Again, nothing else happens for 60 seconds until FD 24 signals what I presume is a connection close attempt. Note that there was no data read from FD 24 but when the "SHUTDOWN" string arrives from it, auth process starts writing items to FD 23, one by one. 1646473144.286936 read(24, "SHUTDOWN\n", 2813) = 9 1646473144.287003 write(23, "LIST\t1\tuser456(a)domain.seven\n", 29) = 29 1646473144.287059 write(23, "LIST\t1\tuser123(a)domain.e8\n", 31) = 31 1646473144.287103 write(23, "LIST\t1\tuser7865(a)dom.nine\n", 39) = 39 There are multiple user databases, I assume the following is a lookup from the others: 1646473144.294256 writev(24, [{iov_base="2\t", iov_len=2}, {iov_base="LIST\t2\tuser=*(a)example.domain\tservice=\toriginal-username", iov_len=61}, {iov_base="\n", iov_len=1}], 3) = 64 1646473144.294379 read(24, 0x5602069198ec, 2804) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) 1646473144.300490 read(24, "2\tOK\n", 2804) = 5 1646473144.300556 writev(24, [{iov_base="3\t", iov_len=2}, {iov_base="LIST\t3\tuser=*(a)example.domain\tservice=\toriginal-username", iov_len=61}, {iov_base="\n", iov_len=1}], 3) = 64 1646473144.300653 read(24, 0x5602069198f1, 2799) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) 1646473144.307687 read(24, "3\tOK\n", 2799) = 5 1646473144.307751 write(23, "DONE\t1\t\n", 8) = 8 1646473144.307944 close(24) = 0 1646473144.308092 read(23, "", 977) = 0 1646473144.308185 close(23) = 0 I also looked into the auth-userdb (auth -w) service, it seems to mirror what happens in the auth process: [pid 22387] 1646473083.407660 accept(7, <unfinished ...> [pid 22387] 1646473083.407767 <... accept resumed>{sa_family=AF_UNIX}, [28->2]) = 17 [pid 22387] 1646473084.187096 write(17, "1\t*\tuser1(a)notthat.domain\n1\t*\t [pid 22387] 1646473084.233120 write(17, "1\tOK\n", 5 <unfinished ...> [pid 22387] 1646473084.233577 epoll_ctl(9, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, 17, {EPOLLIN|EPOLLPRI|EPOLLERR|EPOLLHUP, {u32=659542480, u64=94356796068304}} <unfinished ...> [pid 22387] 1646473084.234006 read(17, <unfinished ...> [pid 22387] 1646473084.234254 <... read resumed>0x55d12753b7d1, 8031) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) And after 60 seconds: [pid 22387] 1646473144.286843 write(17, "SHUTDOWN\n", 9 <unfinished ...> At which point the other two requests come in and are replied to. As I said above, I don't know anything about Dovecot internals but from I can gather from these outputs, all data are exchanged correctly and nothing gets stuck reading them from a permanent storage or alike. This bug doesn't manifest every time but seems to be fairly deterministic in that it always triggers for some domains but not for others. From what I've noticed, this affected domain receives all its users in single 8k read in the doveadm process, which in turns triggers (relatively) lengthy lookups and forces the auth process to put more writes on hold (at timestamp 1646473084.239108) Is it possible that when this happens, the "OK" string received from auth-userdb process (timestamp 1646473084.238938) is overlooked and auth process is waiting for more data from auth-userdb while auth-userdb waits for another request? The server itself runs Dovecot 1:2.3.13+dfsg1-2 from Debian repository on amd64. Output from dovecot --version is 2.3.13 (89f716dc2). As far as I can see, nothing indicates this is a performance problem related to insufficient hardware - server runs at 25% CPU utilization average, Pressure Stall Information reports average of 0.5% for CPU, 1% for I/O. System memory used is 10 out of 64GB. As far as I can see, no Dovecot process becomes CPU-bound when doveadm is running. I tried some web search but found nothing related to this. For our purposes, this issue has a relatively simple workaround - using doveadm quota get on specific usernames instead of the wildcard one. Since this might be an issue with a relatively easy fix for someone who knows where to look, I decided to post this bug report anyway. If needed, I should be able to test patches that apply cleanly to Debian sources and compile with dpkg-buildpackage. Thanks

Dupliate-ish email search?
by ＠lbutlr 04 Mar '22

04 Mar '22

I'm mulling over writing some code to find emails in a maildir that are duplicates, ish. That is to say that sometimes the same message doesn't quite show up as an exact match. Like some ad company may send you three identical messages, except they aren't actually EXACTLY identical, the message-IDs are different, and may the to address quoted part is different, so normal duplicate finders fail to find them. Before I start, is this a solved problem? -- I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise, we climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies.

Issue in 2.3.18 with fts_header_excludes/includes
by Alessio Cecchi 03 Mar '22

03 Mar '22

Hi, I'm still doing some test with fts-flatcurve, after updating to 2.3.18 I enabled: fts_header_excludes = * fts_header_includes = From To Cc Bcc Subject Message-ID but when I try to re-index all messages with FTS flatcurve the fts-flatcurve/ folder inside the Maildir/ become huge. Taking for example a Maildir with cur folder of 1.1G the related fts-flatcurve folder passed from 140M to 2.2G. After remove fts_header_excludes/includes config options, and re-index all messages, the fts-flatcurve/ size return to normal size. Is an issue? Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Does disabling POP3 just mean removing it from the `protocols` list?
by Sean McBride 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

Hi all, Hopefully a simple question. If I want to disable POP3 support (because everyone is using IMAP anyway), it is just a matter of removing `pop3` from the `protocols` setting in dovecot.conf? Are there side effects or other considerations I should be aware of? Thanks, Sean

multiple doveadm ports?
by Joachim Lindenberg 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

Hello, I am trying to add another doveadm listener but am struggling with that. The primary reason is that I want to enable replication between two systems and want the replication to be encrypted using TLS. However there are also other doveadm clients locally that are not using TLS and I don´t want to touch all of them. I tried to define something like service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 2425 } inet_listener { port = 2426 ssl = true } } But didn´t get that to work. Is that not possible? I also tried service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 2425 } inet_listener http { port = 2426 ssl = yes } } but then I failed with plugin { mail_replica = https:dove2.example.com:2426 } Can someone please share what is supported and what not, or any pointer to documentation that does? Thanks a lot! Regards, Joachim

Apple Mail behaviour: can not create sub-folders
by Joseph Tam 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

One of my Apple Mail users recently complained his mail reader couldn't create sub-folders -- he could only create top-level folders. Playing around with this, I discovered that I could create folders ( as opposed to mialboxes) *if* I specified mailbox name with a trailing slash. Has anyone come across this? Is this related to https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/mbox/mboxchildfo… ? Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Custom Authentication Method
by Matthew R 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

Hi guys, we're using Dovecot/Postfix here for our mail system. I'd like to switch the `passdb` authentication on Dovecot from PAM over to a custom implementation. We'd prefer to have some sort of script check the password with an external IAM provider via HTTP. Is there any way we can accomplish this? The idea is to have Dovecot somehow call a script or send a username/password to some service, which checks the username/password against the identity provider and returns a "yes/no" back to Dovecot. `checkpassword` seems like it may work but I see no documentation on its API.

Ok I am running two dovecot servers and feel pretty close to getting things resolved config wise there are however 2 or 3 issues that all seem to be related i have enclosed FULL config files for both mail18.scom.ca & mail19.scom.ca I have a private network that is used for the replication (10.221.0.0/24) - port 12345 is blocked by pf firewall from outside. I am running freebsd 12.1 and built one server and then raid copied it to the second (mail19) so all the ports / builds etc are identical I did start with dovecot-2.3.14 but pigeonhole would not build on freebsd (thanks for that advice / reply )until upgrade to dovecot-2.3.18 dovecot-2.3.18 was built and installed on both servers along with a good build (freebsd build error was fixed after upgrading) dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.18 please note that the second mailserver (mail19) is on an nfs share dedicated to the server (i am awaiting sdram drives to replace this issue) but since i am getting errors on both servers i feel nfs share is not the issue (and yes i enabled dlock) mail18 is on normal sdram drives (more of an fyi as i dont think this is the issue) neither mail server is connected to the other in any kind of a shared way - other then replication postfix should be delivering via : pipe -n dovecot -t unix flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} Replication only works properly at startup (ie the mail boxes do sync), afterwhich nothing seems to trigger the differences between the servers to update (notify i believe) manually running : [05:04:46] mail18.scom.ca [root:0] /usr/local/etc/dovecot # doveadm sync -u paul(a)scom.ca remote:10.221.0.19 & [05:21:18] mail19.scom.ca [root:0] /usr/local/etc/dovecot # doveadm sync -u paul(a)scom.ca remote:10.221.0.18 does seem to work but with mixed results. I also included postfix main.cf & master.cf as well as some googling has indicated the file locking may be on the postfix side ?? Also more then happy to donate just can not figure out how ??? so that being said : General logging errors are as follows ?

This feature is off by default. # # The right-hand side of the lookup tables is conveniently ignored. # In the left-hand side, specify an @domain.tld wild-card, or specify # a user(a)domain.tld address. # #relay_recipient_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/relay_recipients # INPUT RATE CONTROL # # The in_flow_delay configuration parameter implements mail input # flow control. This feature is turned on by default, although it # still needs further development (it's disabled on SCO UNIX due # to an SCO bug). # # A Postfix process will pause for $in_flow_delay seconds before # accepting a new message, when the message arrival rate exceeds the # message delivery rate. With the default 100 SMTP server process # limit, this limits the mail inflow to 100 messages a second more # than the number of messages delivered per second. # # Specify 0 to disable the feature. Valid delays are 0..10. # #in_flow_delay = 1s # ADDRESS REWRITING # # The ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document gives information about # address masquerading or other forms of address rewriting including # username->Firstname.Lastname mapping. # ADDRESS REDIRECTION (VIRTUAL DOMAIN) # # The VIRTUAL_README document gives information about the many forms # of domain hosting that Postfix supports. # "USER HAS MOVED" BOUNCE MESSAGES # # See the discussion in the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document. # TRANSPORT MAP # # See the discussion in the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README document. # ALIAS DATABASE # # The alias_maps parameter specifies the list of alias databases used # by the local delivery agent. The default list is system dependent. # # On systems with NIS, the default is to search the local alias # database, then the NIS alias database. See aliases(5) for syntax # details. # # If you change the alias database, run "postalias /etc/aliases" (or # wherever your system stores the mail alias file), or simply run # "newaliases" to build the necessary DBM or DB file. # # It will take a minute or so before changes become visible.

See canonical(5), # local(8), relocated(5) and virtual(5) for the effects this has on # aliases, canonical, virtual, relocated and .forward file lookups. # Basically, the software tries user+foo and .forward+foo before # trying user and .forward. # recipient_delimiter = + # DELIVERY TO MAILBOX # # The home_mailbox parameter specifies the optional pathname of a # mailbox file relative to a user's home directory. The default # mailbox file is /var/spool/mail/user or /var/mail/user. Specify # "Maildir/" for qmail-style delivery (the / is required). # #home_mailbox = Mailbox #home_mailbox = Maildir/ # The mail_spool_directory parameter specifies the directory where # UNIX-style mailboxes are kept. The default setting depends on the # system type. # #mail_spool_directory = /var/mail # The mailbox_command parameter specifies the optional external # command to use instead of mailbox delivery. The command is run as # the recipient with proper HOME, SHELL and LOGNAME environment settings. # Exception: delivery for root is done as $default_user. # # Other environment variables of interest: USER (recipient username), # EXTENSION (address extension), DOMAIN (domain part of address), # and LOCAL (the address localpart). # # Unlike other Postfix configuration parameters, the mailbox_command # parameter is not subjected to $parameter substitutions. This is to # make it easier to specify shell syntax (see example below). # # Avoid shell meta characters because they will force Postfix to run # an expensive shell process. Procmail alone is expensive enough. # # IF YOU USE THIS TO DELIVER MAIL SYSTEM-WIDE, YOU MUST SET UP AN # ALIAS THAT FORWARDS MAIL FOR ROOT TO A REAL USER. # #mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail #mailbox_command = /some/where/procmail -a "$EXTENSION" # The mailbox_transport specifies the optional transport in master.cf # to use after processing aliases and .forward files. This parameter # has precedence over the mailbox_command, fallback_transport and # luser_relay parameters. # # Specify a string of the form transport:nexthop, where transport is # the name of a mail delivery transport defined in master.cf. The # :nexthop part is optional. For more details see the sample transport # configuration file. # # NOTE: if you use this feature for accounts not in the UNIX password # file, then you must update the "local_recipient_maps" setting in # the main.cf file, otherwise the SMTP server will reject mail for # non-UNIX accounts with "User unknown in local recipient table". # mailbox_transport = dovecot # The fallback_transport specifies the optional transport in master.cf # to use for recipients that are not found in the UNIX passwd database. # This parameter has precedence over the luser_relay parameter. # # Specify a string of the form transport:nexthop, where transport is # the name of a mail delivery transport defined in master.cf.

The file # SMTPD_ACCESS_README provides an overview. # The header_checks parameter specifies an optional table with patterns # that each logical message header is matched against, including # headers that span multiple physical lines. # # By default, these patterns also apply to MIME headers and to the # headers of attached messages. With older Postfix versions, MIME and # attached message headers were treated as body text. # # For details, see "man header_checks". # #header_checks = regexp:/usr/local/etc/postfix/header_checks #Divert to Hold Queue #header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks # FAST ETRN SERVICE # # Postfix maintains per-destination logfiles with information about # deferred mail, so that mail can be flushed quickly with the SMTP # "ETRN domain.tld" command, or by executing "sendmail -qRdomain.tld". # See the ETRN_README document for a detailed description. # # The fast_flush_domains parameter controls what destinations are # eligible for this service. By default, they are all domains that # this server is willing to relay mail to. # #fast_flush_domains = $relay_domains # SHOW SOFTWARE VERSION OR NOT # # The smtpd_banner parameter specifies the text that follows the 220 # code in the SMTP server's greeting banner. Some people like to see # the mail version advertised. By default, Postfix shows no version. # # You MUST specify $myhostname at the start of the text. That is an # RFC requirement. Postfix itself does not care. # #smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name #smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name ($mail_version) # PARALLEL DELIVERY TO THE SAME DESTINATION # # How many parallel deliveries to the same user or domain? With local # delivery, it does not make sense to do massively parallel delivery # to the same user, because mailbox updates must happen sequentially, # and expensive pipelines in .forward files can cause disasters when # too many are run at the same time. With SMTP deliveries, 10 # simultaneous connections to the same domain could be sufficient to # raise eyebrows. # # Each message delivery transport has its XXX_destination_concurrency_limit # parameter. The default is $default_destination_concurrency_limit for # most delivery transports. For the local delivery agent the default is 2. #local_destination_concurrency_limit = 1 #2 #default_destination_concurrency_limit = 100 #20 # DEBUGGING CONTROL # # The debug_peer_level parameter specifies the increment in verbose # logging level when an SMTP client or server host name or address # matches a pattern in the debug_peer_list parameter. # debug_peer_level = 9 # The debug_peer_list parameter specifies an optional list of domain # or network patterns, /file/name patterns or type:name tables.

Hi folks, just step into another problem and don't know why? If i try to configure dovecot with the following: > ./configure --prefix=/test/core/dovecot --with-ssldir=/test/core/dovecot/tls --with-mysql i get > ... > checking for auth_userokay... no > checking for mysql_config... NO > checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... noconfigure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not found After that i've tried to configure with following: > LDFLAGS="-L/test/core/mariadb/lib" ./configure --prefix=/test/core/dovecot --with-ssldir=/test/core/dovecot/tls --with-mysql but with same result. The Content of "/test/core/mariadb/lib" is: libmariadbclient.a libmariadb.so -> libmariadb.so.3 libmariadb.so.3 libmysqlclient.a -> libmariadbclient.a libmysqlclient_r.a -> libmariadbclient.a libmysqlclient_r.so -> libmariadb.so.3 libmysqlclient.so -> libmariadb.so.3 libmysqlservices.a pkgconfigplugin Also the Path "/test/core/mariadb/lib/pkgconfig" is in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable and the Library-Path "/test/core/mariadb/lib" is known by the dynamic linker (/etc/ld.so.conf.d/mylibs.conf). So what am i doing wrong? My Dovecot version: 2.3.18 My Mariadb version: 10.6.5 My OS: Ubuntu 20.04

email location - files or sql
by Robert Moskowitz 25 Feb '22

25 Feb '22

I have been running a Dovecot based mail server for over 10 years and it is time (really past) to upgrade. I really don't want to roll my own anymore. Too much time and too many skills needed. Time to retire. But still want it 'in-house'. What I am seeing is that many of the packages seem to roll the messages into some SQL database. My Dovecot setup uses the /home/vmail/doman/../{cur,new,etc} tree structure. Is there any pros vs cons on this that I can read? Is there some nice packed mailserver I can drop on a Centos-arm server that has Dovecot under the covers and I can easily rsync my current mail store to it? Mail-in-a-box looks interesting. But I have not figured out its internals and if I have to worry about anything compiled for arm that is not part of the distro. Thanks in advance for help.

Messages reappearing in mailboxes as duplicates
by Andrew Skipper 23 Feb '22

23 Feb '22

Hello, We have 3 nodes running, with a two way replication between 2 of them and a 1 way replication to a DR node running off one. We use mdbox, and directors to split traffic across nodes. There is no shared file system. Users are experiencing messages reappearing in their INBOX as unread with duplicate GUID and message headers. This occurs generally several days after a message was first received (and often actioned; read, moved, trashed, expunged, also often bulk moved/deleted). We have attempted to remove replication from the equation by cutting down to one single node with all replication disabled which did not have any impact. We have also started regular cache and mailbox purging. There are no logged events when mail items reappear, and we only observe it based on user report, mailbox inspection (doveadm looking for duplicate GUIDs/unique message headers) or seeing IMAP commands being done against the same message twice (e.g. monday they copy to trash, delete and expunge from inbox, delete and expunge from trash, then the next monday they will have to do the same for the reappearing message).

Pigeonhole page's RFC links broken (fix attached)
by Patrick Nagel 22 Feb '22

22 Feb '22

Hi there, I was just reading https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/ and noticed that all the links to the RFCs are broken. I fixed them via regexp search & replace curl https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/ | sed -e 's|https\?://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc$[0-9]\{4\}$/\?|https://www.ietf.org/r…' >Pigeonhole_fixed_rfc_links.html and attached the resulting page. Cheers, Patrick.

postfix, dovecot-lda, /run/dovecot/stats-writer socket permision and local user delivery, again
by Michael Tokarev 22 Feb '22

22 Feb '22

Hi! There are many questions on the 'net about the same theme: lda(mjt): Error: net_connect_unix(/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied dovecot-lda is run from postfix as mailbox_command for local users. There's even a suggestion on dovecot wiki to make dovecot-lda setgid (to mail) - for a different reason but people use this trick to shut this error message up. See eg the last message at https://forum.zentyal.org/index.php?topic=35236.0 which points to https://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix . But the thing is: mail delivery stops right after making dovecot-lda setgid, like this: Feb 22 00:06:46 tsrv dovecot: lda(mjt)<253650><s+nnHub+E2LS3gMA7tuOMA>: \ Fatal: setresgid(914(dovecot),914(dovecot),8(mail)) failed with euid=1000(mjt): \ Operation not permitted why the hell lda tries to setuid to dovecot user? It will definitely unable to write to the maildir since it is owned by user mjt, not by user dovecot! And I *only* made it setgid, not setuid. How to use dovecot-lda together with postfix, after all? Thanks, /mjt

RE: Different auth logging with cache lookup. (OPEN)

No, the problem is the logging of the cache lookup with password mismatch. (release 2.3.17) We missing client IP and user in the cache lookup logging. auth-worker(1676266): Info: conn unix:auth-worker (pid=1675846,uid=97): auth-worker<2>: Password mismatch (given password: xxxx) Arvid -----Original Message----- From: Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi(a)open-xchange.com> Sent: tirsdag 22. februar 2022 09:15 To: Eikås Arvid <arvid.eikas(a)telenor.no>; dovecot(a)dovecot.org Subject: Re: Different auth logging with cache lookup.

Looks more like 2.3.5 is incorrectly checking both cache and sql? Aki
