LDA vs LMTP change in header
by ＠lbutlr 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Switching to dovecot LMTP appears to have change the information in the received header, which appears to be causing my spam filter to wig out and mark local to local emails as spam. Here’s what the received header used to look like: Received: from [10.0.5.3] (c-71-229-144-93.hsd1.co.comcast.net [71.229.144.93]) by mail.covisp.net (Postfix) with ESMTPS id B67B8118AD59 for <kreme(a)kreme.com>; Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:19:02 -0600 (MDT) As opposed to now: Received: from darth.lan (c-73-14.161.160.hsd1.co.comcast.net [73.14.161.160]) by mail.covisp.net(Postfix 3.4.5/8.13.0) with SMTP id unknown; Sun, 16 Jun 2019 15:26:32 -0600 (envelope-from <kreme(a)kreme.com>) The first has an ESMTPS id and the other has SMTP id unknown, which seems to be causing Spamass-milter to treat the LMTP emails as unauthenticated and then ding them for being from public IPs. -- Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears, To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears

What does Solr index do and how to handle its high avaliablity?
by luckydog xf 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Hi, guys, Can you give me an example of solr usage in dovecot? As far as I know, you can search email easily by MUA like outlook, so which role does solr play? And based on https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2019-April/115575.html I'm going to use an VIP to host 2 mail servers. Currently, it works in fail over and fail back test except solr index, so how to resolve this? Is it possible to put dovecot index on shared storage like NFS? How to if it's a yes. It seems it's under /var/solr/data/dovecot/data/ How to rebuild if I don't put index data on shared storage in case of fail over? Thanks,

Self-signed TLS client certificates
by Marvin Gülker 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Dear List, I self-host my e-mail and run Dovecot since ever I do that. Dovecot version is 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4), running on Debian testing. Now I am trying to configure Dovecot for client TLS certificates. I have a self-signed certificate whose private key resides on a smartcard (Yubikey, to be exact). I wanted Dovecot to accept that TLS client certificate instead of a password. So I searched and found this wiki page: <https://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration#Client_certificate_verif…> But that Wiki page says: > The CA file should contain the certificate(s) followed by the matching > CRL(s). Note that the CRLs are required to exist. I have now messed three hours or so with OpenSSL to get a CRL generated for my self-signed certificate, but I can't get that to work (the problem appearently being that OpenSSL doesn't play well with private keys on smartcards). It doesn't make sense anyway, why does one need a CRL for a self-signed certificate? If the self-signed certificate's key gets compromised, the CRL does not help at all. So, here are my questions: 1. Is a CRL really a hard requirement? 2. If not: can I just use the self-signed certificate of my private key for the ssl_ca setting? 3. If yes: any idea how I can generate a CRL for my smartcard-bound self-signed certificate? Marvin -- Blog: https://mg.guelker.eu

NOTIFY: bug on mailbox renaming and deletion ?
by kael 16 Jun '19

16 Jun '19

Hello, Testing the NOTIFY extension on imap.vivaldi.net, seems there's a bug when a mailbox is renamed or deleted. Requesting events with: A1 NOTIFY SET (inboxes (SubscriptionChange MailboxName)) Here are the sent events: - mailbox creation with automatic subscription (ok): * LIST () "." foo * LIST (\Subscribed) "." foo - mailbox renaming (bug ?): * LIST () "." bar ("OLDNAME" (foo)) * LIST (\Subscribed) "." bar * LIST () "." foo - mailbox deletion (bug ?): * LIST (\NonExistent) "." Trash.bar * LIST () "." Trash.bar It seems that for the two latter cases, the last received event is incorrect, Dovecot notifying of mailbox unsubscription after the mailbox has been renamed or deleted. In that case a client would consider those two last events not as mailbox renaming or deletion, but as a mailbox creation, wouldn't it ? Am I missing something ? Cheers. -- kael

Dovecot 2.3 error, FreeBSD 12 in a jail
by David Mehler 15 Jun '19

15 Jun '19

Hello, I'm trying to get Dovecot going on my system. It's a FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE system and it's running dovecot 2.3 via ports in a jail. I'm getting the same error message(s) as in this bug report, which has been marked as closed: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225078 Dovecot is not starting at all in this jail when starting with service dovecot start. A service dovecot status also reveals the error message about /var/run/dovecot/dovecot.conf file, but a doveconf -n does not reveal any configuration file issues. I did put a symlink in /var/run/dovecot to /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf, this did not correct the issue. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

LMTP doesn't save to +mailbox
by ＠lbutlr 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

Since switching to lmtp in dovecot, mail to user+mailboix(a)example.com does not get saved in ‘.mailbox’ as it did with LDA, instead it gets saved into the INBOX. If it matters, these are users who do NOT have a ~/.active_sieve file. I could understand (though it would bene a bit annoying) if the save overrode this mechanism. I did add lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes in the protocol lmtp block protocol lmtp { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)covisp.net # required mail_plugins = quota sieve info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp.log lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes } This is the error I am getting when sending to luser+covisp(a)covisp.net lmtp(luser(a)covisp.net)<91193><EqkiJV70A105ZAEAIdGjjQ>: Error: sieve: msgid=<A3ED963A-97FB-4A1F-9F09-45F2AEA96CF6(a)kreme.com>: failed to store into mailbox 'covisp': Mailbox doesn't exist: covisp lmtp(luser(a)covisp.net)<91193><EqkiJV70A105ZAEAIdGjjQ>: Error: sieve: Execution of script /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve failed with unsuccessful implicit keep # cat /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve [13:32] [/var/log] require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-spam-flag" "YES" { fileinto "Junk"; } (This file hasn’t changed in a year, so it worked fine with the lda instead of the lmtp setup.

Dovecot director: show user breakdown by director?
by Eirik Rye 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

Hi, We have recently started using the director in some tests. We are using the static passdb setup (proxy=y nopassword=y) for now, where authentication is done on the downstream IMAP servers. "dovecot director status" shows a breakdown of proxied connections per backend, but there does not seem to be a similar breakdown of user connections per director. The output of "doveadm who" is empty. I assume this is due to there being no local userdb/passdb on the directors? root@xxx:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# doveadm who username # proto (pids) (ips) Is there a way in Dovecot to see which (or even how many) users are connected to a specific director without having to count TCP connections? Best regards, Eirik Rye

MultiMaster dsync (cluster1 cluster2 cluster3)
by Matthew Brown 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

Will MultiMaster dsync work fine or will be big problems ? I configured dovecot to dsync from serv1 to serv2 to serv3 and repeat to serv1 to serv2 to serv3 and repeat... When email received to serv2, it will be synced to serv3, and serv3 will sync it to serv1, and serv1 will sync it to serv2 and will stop here because emails matched. What problems can be with this kind of configuration ? (except that if one of server(cluster) will be stopped, sync will be stopped too until cluster is online again)

Sieve rewrite headers?
by ＠lbutlr 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

I’ve bene looking for examples on how to do this, but so far am coming up short. I want to check certain messages for a reply-ro header and if it is present, rewrite it to X-Reply-To: and then add my own reply-to header. I don’t see anything in the various sieve examples I’ve found on altering the actual message. There is the editheader extension, but I failed to find documentation or examples on how to use it. It appears that I can add a header and delete a header (addheader deleteheader?) but not rewrite one. So something like if header “Reply-to: foo(a)bar.xn--tld-9o0a { addheader "X-Reply-To: foo(a)bar.xn--tld-9o0a deleteheader “Reply-To:” addheader "X-Reply-To: bar(a)foo.xn--tld-9o0a } ?? Do I need to delete the header or will the add header overwrite the one that is there? Also, how do people manage different sieve files? Just cat them all into the active one, or is there a mechanism to import/switch/load other files?

Re: Migrated from maildir to sdbox: questions

Hi Ranbir, i think youre just using the wrong quota backend. https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota You should switch from "quota = maildir...." to another one, like dict.

Outlook renames Junk folder
by Cliff Hayes 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

Hello, Some versions of Outlook will randomly rename the Junk folder to Junk Email. This of course causes errors because Dovecot can no longer store junk. I go in to Outlook for each user and add another Junk folder, so now they have Junk and Junk Email. This fix action lasts a while until Outlook decides to do it again. Is there a way to tell Dovecot that if the Junk folder doesn't exist, try sending the email to Junk Email folder? Thanks in advance.

Sieve logging?
by ＠lbutlr 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

I am trying to create some sieve scripts to filter my mailing lists and am wondering if sieve logs anywhere, and it so where? I don’t see anything in mail.log beyond lines like: dovecot: lda(kremels(a)kreme.com)<39790><hNchChSkAV1umwAAIdGjjQ>: sieve: msgid=<267D5D71-D99C-4790-8706-C1A92BCC9F97(a)kreme.com>: stored mail into mailbox ‘INBOX' Which doesn’t really tell me anything other than that the script failed. -- If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2?

Regarding dovecot, all you need to do is following: <https://wiki.dovecot.org/LMTP> <https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP> (if postfix is your MTA) <https://wiki.dovecot.org/LMTP/Exim> (if exim is your MTA) > And are there any downsides? Not that I’m aware of. Things remained the same as when I was using LDA but using LMTP over Dovecot’s LDA brings some advantages like better performances (no need to fire up new processes for deliveries) among others one. There were several threads on the list related to LDA vs LMTP, such as: <https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2016-June/104670.html> <https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-July/091617.html> > What do I do about > > lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes > lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes > > ? They’re also used by LMTP so no need to worry when migrating from LDA to LMTP. You can check what LDA’s options are specifically also used by LMTP in examples/conf.d/15-lda.conf -- matt [at] lv223.org GPG key ID: 7D91A8CA

Migrated from maildir to sdbox: questions
by Ranbir 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

Hi Everyone, I migrated my maildir mailboxes to sdbox without any show stopping errors, but I did see this during the migration and now I'm also seeing it in the log: Warning: quota: Namespace '' is not Maildir, skipping for Maildir++ quota I'm not quite sure why this is happening. Any ideas? I am using a "public" namespace for several mailboxes to share emails: # public namespace configuration namespace { type = public # the default separator for Maildir is ".", so that is what should be # used automatically. separator = . prefix = Public. location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/thesandhufamily.ca/public subscriptions = no } Under the "public" dir in the old maildir setup, I have folders configured for various mail accounts. For example: .Ads .Junk .Bills etc. These "users" are setup in a passwd file so that I can use a different mail storage location for them than the one they get from ldap (same as above). Using dsync to migrate my other mailboxes was easy, but I don't know how to migrate these public mailboxes. I looked through the wiki and didn't see anything about how to do it. Could someone explain how I can migrate the public mailboxes? -- Ranbir

Sieve to strip html from multipart messages
by ＠lbutlr 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

Is is possible (I’m sure it is, so how) to strip multipart messages that are HTML and text of the HTML portion and leave the bare text message without also stripping other parts (like images or attached files). Or also to take messages that are only HTML and strip the HTML and replace it with a plain text version? I used to do this a long time ago with procmail and lynx, but it was never reliable since procmail doesn’t really understand MIME.

Updating passwords
by ＠lbutlr 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

I created some new users in my MySQL database using postfoxadmin. The passwords looked correct in the database and show the right prefix {SHA256-CRYPT} but logins were failing, so I manually created new passwords from the command line: doveadm pw -s SHA256-CRYPT -p “a password" -u kremels(a)kreme.com {SHA256-CRYPT}$5$ZKsovTv0Ddc9k4… I then went into the postfix database and manually updated the password field in the database. update mailbox set password = '$5$ZKsovTv0Ddc9k4…' where username like 'kremels(a)kreme.com'; SOME of the accounts can now login, but not all. I get a debug line like: dovecot: auth-worker(26599): Debug: sql(kremels(a)kreme.com,xx.xx.xx.xx,<rnadomlookingstuff>): SHA256-CRYPT(a password) != '$5$ZKsovTv0Ddc9k4… -- 'They've given us the answers,' he [Carrot] said. 'Perhaps we can find out what the questions should have been.' --Feet of Clay

LMTP and Sieve with <prefix><recipient_delimiter><user>
by Paul Muster 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Hi there, Dovecot's LMTP implementation and Pigeonhole Sieve already do support the <user><delimiter><suffix> format. RfC 5233, the Sieve subaddress extension, also offers <prefix><delimiter><user>. Could Docecot's LMTP and Pigeonhole be extended to that effect? Thanks & greetings, Paul
