I think this might be caused by glibc 2.28. I saw a similar error with the "doveadm purge" command after upgrading my system to that version.

Dovecot User Listing Error - getpwent() failed: Invalid Argument

Hi, I'm running dovecot-2.3 git and seeing on 2 of my Dovecot installations, the following message logged quite frequently: Aug 31 16:55:53 lightning.reub.net dovecot[7698]: auth-worker(7707): Error: getpwent() failed: Invalid argument Aug 31 16:55:53 lightning.reub.net dovecot[7698]: replicator: Error: User listing returned failure Aug 31 16:55:53 lightning.reub.net dovecot[7698]: replicator: Error: listing users failed, can't replicate existing data It appears that this could be having an effect on replication, but it's unclear because the secondary/replica doesn't see much traffic. Authentication is via PAM and the system is Gentoo Linux x86_64. passb driver = pam, userdb driver = static . doveadm user -u '*' shows the system users listed twice like this (is this a problem?) and then prints: ---- reuben liam reuben liam <some other users> Error: User listing returned failure Fatal: user listing failed ---- To me that doesn't look right. Can anyone suggest what could be causing this? I don't recall seeing this message some time ago so I suspect it's a recent change in either dovecot, or pam or glibc etc.. Thanks, Reuben

Shared mailbox name
by Kacper 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Hello, Is it possible to have a custom name on a shared inbox? Currently prefix = shared/%%u/ makes the shared inbox have the name of the user whos sharing the inbox. I would like to set a custom name on the shared inbox such as "My Recipes" (spaces included). Background: I've implemented shared inboxes by using groups in Active Directory. Each group is a user with a mailbox and has it's mailbox shared using a namespace. A post login script fetches all groups a user is member of and includes them into the ACL_GROUPS environment variable. namespace { type = shared separator = / prefix = Shared/%%u/ location = maildir:/var/mail/maildir/%%u:INDEXPVT=/var/mail/maildir/shared/%u/%%u subscriptions = no list = children } I've tried using groups which contain spaces and mixing lower/upper case letters. "doveadm acl set -u "My Recipes" inbox group="My Recipes" create expunge insert lookup read write write-deleted write-seen" works and creates "/var/mail/maildir/My Recepies", but for some reason when refreshing the imap subscriptions in Thunderbird dovecot creates "/var/mail/maildir/my recepies" and "/var/mail/maildir/myrecepies". Thanks, Kacper

SNI Dovecot
by Nicolas 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

Hi all, I'm testing the SNI configuration from dovecot's wiki page, to have multiple domains. I'm using letsencrypt certificates. On the 10-ssl.conf, when I only use one domain, like this, it works : ssl_ca = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.fr/chain.pem ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.fr/cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.fr/privkey.pem I got a warning of course when using my second domain, mydomain2.fr. If I do the config : local_name mail.mydomain.fr { ssl_ca = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.fr/chain.pem ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.fr/cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.fr/privkey.pem } local_name mail.mydomain2.fr { ssl_ca = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain2.fr/chain.pem ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain2.fr/cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain2.fr/privkey.pem } I got this on dovecot's start : dovecot[930]: master: Error: service(imap-login): command startup failed, throttling for 8 secs dovecot[932]: imap-login: Fatal: Couldn't parse private ssl_key: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line: Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY It's working without local_name, so why it can be a certificate issue? Any idea? I'm using dovecot 2.2.27-3+deb9u2 from debian. Thanks, Nicolas

Userdb by directory lookup
by Miloslav Hůla 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

Hi, I have the Dovecot (2.2.27-3+deb9u2) with LMTP and Postfix. Static userdb: userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/data/vmail/user/%n allow_all_users=yes } and passdb by LDAP, only to verify IMAP user password by bind. Problem is, when someone sends email to non-existent(a)mydomain.tld, Dovecot automatically creates its home directory and Maildir. Is there any way how deliver only when /data/vmail/user/%n directory already exists, and reject otherwise? When I remove allow_all_users=yes, LMTP stops to deliver at all with 550 code. I probably understand why, but I cannot figure how to solve it. I cannot use LDAP to user lookup. Milo

Re: where are stored attachments

Based on this you are not using SIS, so I wonder if those are some old emails when you were using SIS? Can you provide an example corpus of such mail? You can use e.g. https://www.dovecot.org/tools/dbox-anonymize.pl https://www.dovecot.org/tools/maildir-obfuscate.pl https://www.dovecot.org/tools/mbox-anonymize.pl https://www.dovecot.org/tools/mdbox-obfuscate.pl to obfuscate the mail.

Sorry, I have checked before I wrote first post. Based on docs - the path should be in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf or /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf (I have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). I have some familiar lines in 10-mail.conf: #mail_attachment_dir = #mail_attachment_min_size = 128k #mail_attachment_fs = sis posix #mail_attachment_hash = %{sha1} but all these lines are commented out. So - in theory - dovecot does not store attachments anywhere but when I log into i.e. Roundcube, I have there mails with attachments. In Maildir/cur I see formatted files related with specific emails. These with attachments have specific hash at the bottom of content. As we could suppose they are hashed by sha1. But still no idea where are real files, which I can download after login to mailbox. 2018-08-28 18:38 GMT+02:00 Aki Tuomi <aki.tuomi(a)dovecot.fi>: > Check your configuration > > > > --- > Aki Tuomi > Dovecot oy > > -------- Original message -------- > From: Poliman - Serwis <serwis(a)poliman.pl> > Date: 28/08/2018 16:40 (GMT+02:00) > To: dovecot <dovecot(a)dovecot.org> > Subject: where are stored attachments > > Hi!

Hi all, In response to a discussion last week about API access--and notwithstanding Aki’s encouragement that integrators prefer the HTTP-based API--I’ve released a Perl module that facilitates access to Dovecot via the Doveadm protocol: https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::Doveadm I hope it’s useful. -Felipe Gasper Mississauga, ON

Update both virtual indexes & FTS indexes
by Daniel Miller 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

Will the following command: doveadm index -A '*' Ensure all Dovecot indexes are current (including virtual mailboxes) and also update FTS? Other than the time/resources needed to parse all users/mailboxes - is there a reason not to schedule this to run on a regular (hourly?) basis? My goal is to have my server constantly working...so my client isn't waiting for either virtual mailbox or Solr FTS updates. -- Daniel

I even chmod’ed the permissions after to rw for global and I get the same error/result. The file does appear to get written to. For example, lets say user u2.name creates a folder called “starbucks” and uses the IMAP commands to share it out to user operations. It seems to write to the acl_shared_dict file in /var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db with an entry like > shared/shared-boxes/user/u2.name/operations > 1 And it writes to the ~/Maildir/.starbucks/dovecot-acl file for u2.user with an entry like: user=operations lrw So it appears to be working. However, if I log into Thunderbird with the user operations account and go to subscribe, I do not see “starbucks” in the list of available folders. And I still get the nfs_flush_chown error.

mail-migration with dovadm sync/backup and mail_attachment_dir
by Ralf Becker 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

I need to run a mail-migration from a Dovecot with mail_attachment_dir / single instance storage enabled. As mailboxes and mail_attachment_dir are rsynced I would normally run a doveadm backup -u <user> -R -d dbox:<path to rsynced mailbox>/dbox How can I tell it the mail_attachment_dir the rsynced source / (reverse) destination uses? Or do I have to start a Dovecot process and use imapc for the migration?

HTTP API vs. doveadm
by Felipe Gasper 24 Aug '18

24 Aug '18

To follow up on an earlier thread: is there any functional advantage of the new HTTP API over the doveadm API? How does the HTTP API deal with a query like “mailbox list”, which (as best I can tell) could return non-UTF8 text? -FG

Is the Doveadm HTTP API considered stable for production use?
by James Beck 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

Hi, I'm running 2.2.34 in production (installed from Debian stretch backports) and want to rework some scripts. Can the HTTP API be considered stable in 2.2.34 please? The wiki says it is "considered experimental in v2.2.22" so I thought I'd check before writing API calls rather than a wrapper around doveadm! -- James Beck Andrews & Arnold Ltd Tel: 03333 400999

allow_nets based on RBL
by Tom Sommer 23 Aug '18

23 Aug '18

This was brought up in 2014, and left without conclusion, so I thought it would be time to bump it :) I would love a way to do allow_nets based on an RBL check, could this be added to the feature-list? https://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/AllowNets Thanks -- Tom

Re: Possible to set quota in size and number of messages
by J Doe 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Hi Reio and list, It appears placing it at the end of the quota rules and then manually recalculating the quotas via doveadm has solved the problem! Configuration: plugin { quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/dovecot-quota quota_rule = *:storage=10G quota_rule1 = INBOX/Inbox:storage=+30M quota_rule2 = INBOX/Trash:storage=+30M quota_rule3 = INBOX/Deleted Messages:storage=+30M quota_rule4 = *:messages=100000 } Recalculate quotas: $ sudo doveadm quota recalc -u <account> Restart Dovecot and Apple Mail. Thanks, - J

Possible to set quota in size and number of messages
by J Doe 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Hello, I am using Dovecot 2.2.33.2 and am attempting to set quotas on mailboxes. I currently have the following: plugin { quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/dovecot-quota quota_rule = *:storage=10G quota_rule1 = INBOX/Inbox:storage=+30M quota_rule2 = INBOX/Trash:storage=+30M quota_rule3 = INBOX/Deleted Messages:storage=+30M } If I check the quota via Apple Mail version 11.5 (3445.9.1) on Mac OS X 10.13.6 by selecting “Get Account Info” it displays the correct quota size in bytes but also states “0 messages” (in that it states I can store 0 messages). Is there a way to signify to an IMAP client that the quota should be _EITHER_ 10 GB or 100,000 messages, just so a user doesn’t see that they can store a total of 0 messages ? My initial thought was to alter the previous quota settings by adding: quota_rule4 = INBOX:messages=100000 … and restarting Dovecot and Apple Mail, but upon checking the quota’s on the user’s account, I still see that a user can store 10 GB or 0 messages. Thanks, - J

lazy expunge folder delete bug

There's a bug in "folder delete" for lazy expunge, type "1 namespace", as descibed on https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge When trying to delete a mailbox that still has messages in it, but that has no EXPUNGED/<name> counterpart, the process hangs after the imap "DELETE" command, and the following appears in the log file after a 60s timeout: Jun 22 15:48:15 userimap6 dovecot: imap(xtra30): Error: Couldn't create mailbox list lock /var/mail/.8d1/index/4/03/xtra30/index/mailboxes.lock: file_create_locked(/var/mail/.8d1/index/4/03/xtra30/index/mailboxes.lock) failed: flock(/var/mail/.8d1/index/4/03/xtra30/index/mailboxes.lock, write-lock) failed: Timed out after 60 seconds (BUG: lock is held by our own process) Jun 22 15:48:15 userimap6 dovecot: imap(xtra30): Error: lazy_expunge: Couldn't open expunge mailbox: Failed to create mailbox EXPUNGED/Test: Internal error occurred.

Seems the delete opeation locks the mailbox list, and then the expunge create hits the same lock. Is this something we can fix by changing settings? Eg use another location for the expunge lock? -- Jan-Pieter Cornet <johnpc(a)xs4all.net> Systeembeheer XS4ALL Internet bv www.xs4all.nl

iOS Mail Client Not Copying to Sent Folder
by Asai 21 Aug '18

21 Aug '18

Greetings, We have many iOS clients, and some report that they’re having problems with iOS mail copying messages to their Sent folder. This happens 2 - 3 times per day, and the phone just says Sending and the client never knows if it sends. Client says apparently email DOES go out, but there is no recording of it. This is usually on our LAN. We’re not sure if this is solved via Postfix or Dovecot, or maybe something else, so I’m posting this message on both forums as a start. Can anyone point us in the right direction here? Running Postfix 2.11.1 and Dovecot ee 2.2.18.2 see doveconf -n below: # 2.2.18.2 (866bffbafde7): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.8 (73d4f6cd676a) # OS: Linux 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.4 (Final) ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: from=%f: %$ lock_method = dotlock mail_home = /vmail/%d/%n/home mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n mail_plugins = " notify" 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 namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } plugin { mail_log_events = delete expunge copy mailbox_delete flag_change append mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = box msgid from flags sieve = /vmail/%d/%n/home/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve/junk-spam.sieve sieve_default = /etc/dovecot/sieve/junk-spam.sieve sieve_dir = /vmail/%d/%n/home/sieve } protocols = imap lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0660 user = vmail } user = root } service imap-login { process_limit = 200 process_min_avail = 16 service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 0 } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } process_min_avail = 0 service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 64 M } ssl_cert = </etc/postfix/ssl/triata.pem ssl_key = </etc/postfix/ssl/triata.key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf driver = sql } protocol lda { hostname = domain.net mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/ mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)domain.net } protocol imap { imap_idle_notify_interval = 24 mins mail_max_userip_connections = 60 } protocol sieve { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 managesieve_implementation_string = Dovecot Pigeonhole managesieve_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 }

Strange problem on lmtp with dovecot 2.3.2.1
by davide marchi 20 Aug '18

20 Aug '18

Hi to all i have compiled and installed dovecot 2.3.2.1 on debian 6 with success but now i'm facing a strange problem on communication from postfix installed on server A with dovecot installed on server B (which version is 2.3.2.1). All incoming emails delivered from esternal from server A to server B with LMTP is rejected with this message error "smtpgw postfix/lmtp[1772]: 6194CA00B3: to=<xxxxxxxxxxxx(a)mail.cgilfe.it>, relay=192.168.10.50[192.168.10.50]:24, delay=0.02, delays=0/0.01/0.01/0, dsn=5.5.4, status=undeliverable (host 192.168.10.50[192.168.10.50] said: 501 5.5.4 Invalid FROM: Missing domain (in reply to MAIL FROM command))" I cant identify what is the problem , for now i have bypassed lmtp using smtp but my goal is returning to lmtp that i have used since old versions of dovecot.

systemd also listening on imaps port
by Kai Schaetzl 20 Aug '18

20 Aug '18

I noticed that most of the time with dovecot 2.3 I get this output, showing systemd listening on the port as well: lsof -i TCP:993 systemd 1 root 38u IPv4 3388360574 0t0 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) systemd 1 root 41u IPv6 3388360575 0t0 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) dovecot 11607 root 5u IPv4 3388360574 0t0 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) dovecot 11607 root 6r IPv6 3388360575 0t0 TCP *:imaps (LISTEN) Sometimes I don't get the extra systemd lines, but I can't reproduce it now. It's only for port 143 and 993. Other ports show only two dovecot processes. Operation seems to be normal. Is this how it is supposed to be with dovecot 2.3? This is Ubuntu 16.04.
