sieve trace directory: error
by André Rodier 15 May '18

15 May '18

Hello, I am using a custom directory for sieve logs and trace and it apparently generate an error, in some corner case. - I have an IMAP global sieve script, that is run when appending emails into the "Archives" folder. - I have Thunderbird configured to archive emails by year When archiving an email, for instance in "Archives/2018", I often have an error message like this: Mar 31 08:03:02 homebox dovecot[14078]: imap(andre): Error: sieve: trace: creat(/home/users/andre/mails/sieve/logs//andre.Archives/2018.3.20180331-080302.14235.5.trace) failed: No such file or directory I have this configuration (amongst) for sieve logs: sieve_user_log = ~/mails/sieve/logs/ sieve_trace_dir = ~/mails/sieve/logs/ sieve_trace_level = commands sieve_trace_debug = yes sieve_trace_addresses = yes Did I a misconfigured something? Thanks for your help, André -- https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox

dsync migration from maildir layout=fs to maildir seperator / - folders or inbox but not both
by Matt Bryant 13 May '18

13 May '18

Am attempting to bring my mailserver back to home server post house move and whilst I could use rsync have been trying to get to grips with dsync. However, I seem to have an issue - my current server specifies mail_location as maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs and my imapc config on new server is as follows ... imapc_host = old.mailserver.host imapc_user = %u imapc_master_user = master imapc_password = ********** imapc_features = $imapc_features rfc822.size fetch-headers imapc_list_prefix = INBOX imapc_port = 993 imapc_ssl = imaps imapc_ssl_verify = no the trouble is if I leave imapc_list_prefix = INBOX I get the inbox only - no folders ... If I comment this out delete maildir on target and re-run .. I get the folders but no inbox but folders are in fs layout format rather than being converted to INBOX.folder.subfolder bug perhaps ???? or am I doing something wrong ??? src dovecot version 2.0.9 tgt dovecot version 2.2.33.2 Any ideas would be appreciated ... rgds Matt -- <https://www.postbox-inc.com/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=siglink&utm_campai…>

Marks as read on mover to Archive
by ＠lbutlr 13 May '18

13 May '18

How would I setup dovecot so that when messages are moved to the Archive mailbox, they are marked as read? Would it be similar to the imap-sieve for spam tagging? imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Junk imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve Or is there a simpler method? If it matters: mailbox Archive { auto = subscribe special_use = \Archive -- According to the philosopher Ly Tin Weedle, chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought. It always defeats order, because it is better organized.

Dovecot 2.2.36-rc1 and $HasAttachment
by Alessio Cecchi 10 May '18

10 May '18

Hi, I installed dovecot 2.2.36-rc1 and enabled: mail_attachment_detection_options = add-flags-on-save but when messages are delivery via dovecot-lda into mailbox (Maildir) keywords are not added. Only when the messages is open keywords ($HasAttachment or $HasNoAttachment) are added. From the wiki "attachments are detected and marked during save", delivery via LDA is "save"? For info, doveadm rebuild attachments works fine. Since 2.2.36 will be the last v2.2.x release I hope that this feature will be fixed since is very useful.

mmap failed messages in syslog
by Shawn Heisey 10 May '18

10 May '18

I'm getting mmap failed messages in syslog on version 1.2.15 for dovecot.index.cache files. This old dovecot version is installed with debian packages. The OS and all software is 64-bit. I've found info on this log message, with a suggested fix of raising vsz_limit ... but this seems to be a config option for dovecot 2.x, not 1.x. The file it complains about being unable to mmap is only 90MB, and the biggest cache file I have found on the system is only 180MB. The system has 4GB of total memory with about 1GB of that allocated to OS disk cache right now. The mmap functionality provided by the OS doesn't use *actual* memory, so the amount of memory I have should be irrelevant. Checking 'ulimit -a' with several users shows that vmemory is unlimited for all of them. How do I go about allowing docevot 1.x to use more virtual memory? I do have a migration planned to Ubuntu 16, where I can run a 2.x version, but that's not going to happen for a while. Thanks, Shawn

[sieve][regex] Matching multiple strings in the "Received" header
by Adi Pircalabu 08 May '18

08 May '18

Hi, I'm trying to use this expression in Sieve, but for some reason the filter doesn't work: require ["fileinto","regex"]; # rule:[gmail-outlook-yahoo-aol-friends] if header :regex "received" ".from.*(outbound.protection.outlook.com|.google.com|.yahoo.com|mx.aol.com)." { fileinto "INBOX.gmail-hotmail-yahoo-aol-friends"; stop; } However, it's working fine with egrep: egrep ".from.*(outbound.protection.outlook.com|.google.com|.yahoo.com|mx.aol.com)." * 1525657297.M401428P1459.host01.quick.net.au,S=10073,W=10275:2,S:Received: from APC01-PU1-obe.outbound.protection.outlook.com (mail-oln040092254061.outbound.protection.outlook.com [40.92.254.61]) Am I using Sieve correctly here? Is ".from.*(outbound.protection.outlook.com|.google.com|.yahoo.com|mx.aol.com)." expression valid for Sieve? Or do I have to split it in an array as per https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Examples#Flagging_or_Highlightin… example? Thanks, -- Adi Pircalabu

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.24.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.36.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 08 May '18

08 May '18

Hello Dovecot users, Here's a first release candidate for the upcoming Pigeonhole release for Dovecot v2.2.36. It only contains bugfixes for now. There's one experimental plugin still in the pipeline. Changelog v0.4.24: - Fix assert panics triggered by empty messages that are being forwarded using redirect or vnd.dovecot.report. This does not likely normally occur, but this is seen as a result of certain benign failures in object storage. - Make the length of the subject header for the vacation response configurable and enforce the limit in UTF-8 codepoints rather than bytes. The subject header for a vacation response was statically truncated to 256 bytes, which is too limited for multi-byte UTF-8 characters. - Sieve editheader extension: Fix assertion panic occurring when it is used to manipulate a message header with a very large header field. - Properly abort execution of the sieve_discard script upon error. Before, the LDA Sieve plugin attempted to execute the sieve_discard script when an error occurs. This can lead to the message being lost. - Fix the interaction between quota and the sieve_discard script. When quota was used together with a sieve_discard script, the message delivery did not bounce when the quota was exceeded. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.24… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.24… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Clients connect to the main server only, which is where mail comes in. The second one that experiences the problem with locking is only a redundant server which is a secondary MX, that only gets occasional SMTP deliveries from time to time. So the amount of replication back from the "secondary" is very minimal; the vast bulk of the replication is the primary replicating changes out. Reuben

So dovecot cannot expire, reindex, clean, repair, etc root mail? The mail is crontab mail that is sent out to users via mutt. What would be the "right” way to do this? (The cron tasks run as root because they are scanning system logs on behalf of certain users and those scans cannot be run as the user.) -- My main job is trying to come up with new and innovative and effective ways to reject even more mail.

v2.2.36 release candidate released
by Timo Sirainen 04 May '18

04 May '18

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.36.rc1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.36.rc1.tar.gz.sig v2.2.36 is hopefully going to be the last v2.2.x release. Please test this RC well, so we'll have a good final release! v2.3.2 is still going to take a couple of months before it's ready. * login-proxy: If ssl_require_crl=no, allow revoked certificates. Also don't do CRL checks for incoming client certificates. * stats plugin: Don't temporarily enable PR_SET_DUMPABLE while opening /proc/self/io. This may still cause security problems if the process is ptrace()d at the same time. Instead, open it while still running as root. + doveadm: Added mailbox cache decision&remove commands. See doveadm-mailbox(1) man page for details. + doveadm: Added rebuild attachments command for rebuilding $HasAttachment or $HasNoAttachment flags for matching mails. See doveadm-rebuild(1) man page for details. - dsync: Lock file generation failed if home directory didn't exist - Snippet generation for HTML mails didn't ignore &entities inside blockquotes, producing strange looking snippets. - imapc: Fix assert-crash if getting disconnected and after reconnection all mails in the selected mailbox are gone. - pop3c: Handle unexpected server disconnections without assert-crash - fts: If mails contained NUL characters, the text around it wasn't indexed. - Obsolete dovecot.index.cache offsets were sometimes used. Trying to fetch a field that was just added to cache file may not have always found it.

expiring mail from root's Maildirs?
by ＠lbutlr 04 May '18

04 May '18

I would like to delete old mail from root's sent mailbox but doveadm throws errors when I try to do this, not wanting to process root's mail at all (I am running the commands as root, naturally) # doveadm expunge -u root mailbox Sent SENTBEFORE 1-Apr-2018 doveadm(root): Error: Invalid settings in userdb: userdb returned 0 as uid doveadm(root): Error: User lookup failed: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. The error makes me think this is intentional, and I can see that makes a sort of sense, but it still leaves me with a Sent box that grow forever until I manually go in and remove old mails. I am using passed for userdb and pam for passdb: passdb { username_filter = "!*@*" driver = pam } userdb { driver = passwd } Can I do this with doveadm or am going to have to resort to either manually removing the mail (hah!) or just crontabbing a task to remove the files more than 30 days old?

Use of NO-NOSELECT in mail_location
by Joseph Tam 03 May '18

03 May '18

I enabled NO-NOSELECT in mail_location as it seemed to be an optimization without negative consequences. The wiki states NO-NOSELECT : Automatically delete any \NoSelect mailboxes that have no children. These mailboxes are sometimes confusing to users. Also if a \NoSelect mailbox is attempted to be created with "CREATE box/", it's created as selectable mailbox instead. The last sentence is important: if you allow this, you won't be able to create folders (i.e. directories); this caught me offguard. If you use mbox, this is something you don't want to enable.

v2.3.1: Event leaked (parent=(nil)): http-client.c:137 and 439
by Milan Knížek 03 May '18

03 May '18

Hi, After upgrade to dovecot 2.3.1, many IMAP clients cause errors in dovecot log: May 01 20:15:51 tiger dovecot[21985]: imap: Warning: Event 0x555fd3c01630 leaked (parent=(nil)): http-client.c:137 May 01 20:15:51 tiger dovecot[21985]: imap: Warning: Event 0x555fd3c00140 leaked (parent=(nil)): http-client.c:439 Namely: * roundcube 1.3.3 * offlineimap * nextcloud mail app Despite the errors, the basic functionality seems to work - mails are received by the client. However, the GUI clients display an "internal server error" message window on each refresh. Some other clients do not create any issues: * MailDroid (Android) * getmail Anybody got a similar behaviour? -- Milan Knížek | knizek.confy(a)gmail.com

Hello Dovecoters, I am using dovecot-2.2.10-8.el7.x86_64 on RHEL 7.4 When I backup mdboxes (using SIS) using this command doveadm -Dv -o plugin/quota= sync -1f -u user1(a)user.com mdbox:/mailbackup/user1 mails get backedup but all m files are not copied. Last file copied is m.4 If I run the command again I get below error I tried with doveadm backup command as well (many times). Error: Corrupted dbox file / mailbackup/user1/storage/m.4 (around offset=3732536): EOF reading msg header (got 0/30 bytes) Result is all mails are not backedup. Destination is a folder on a NAS with NFS mapped to the server. Thanks/DP --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hello, I am actually testing dovecot fts search, using doveadm fts lookup.

Listening on multiple ports
by Derek Harding 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

Hi, I want dovecot to listen for imaps (ssl) on both 993 and a non-standard port 8839. I've tried using variations on the inet_listener entries in 10-master.conf as shown in a couple of threads on here but none of the attempts have worked. Can someone provide me with a cut-and-paste solution and confirm into which file it should be placed (i.e. is the dovecot.conf format using the inet_listener = {address} appropriate)? -- Best wishes, Derek

Virtual mailbox doesn't refresh without deleting indexes
by Bret Martin 26 Apr '18

26 Apr '18

Hello, I have a virtual mailbox with the following dovecot-virtual file: mdbox/* -mdbox/Archive/* -mdbox/Junk -mdbox/Notes all younger 604800 not deleted This works at first, but after messages are older than 7 days, they continue to appear in this mailbox forever. Even if I close all IMAP clients and reconnect, I can't get the mailbox to omit the older-than-7-days messages without deleting its indexes. I have other virtual mailboxes that update as expected, but I don't think any of those are date-based. For example, this one "refreshes" as I'd expect: mdbox/* -mdbox/Archive/* -mdbox/Junk flagged Am I doing something wrong with the first virtual mailbox I mentioned above? I'm using dovecot 2.2.13 on Debian GNU/Linux. Thanks! --Bret
