mail storage auto detection failed?
by Alef Veld 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Hi everyone. Nice to meet you. I’m new to dovecot and i came across a problem it seems. I setup a new user called sales with useradd, and gave it a password. Although it has a home directory, i set login to /sbin/nologin. When logging into the pop server on port 110 (with telnet) i get this in the logs: dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<sales>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=12938, secured, session=<94SotWVRoAB/AAAB> Jun 7 21:49:24 www dovecot: pop3(sales): Error: user sales: Initialization failed: Namespace '': Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/home/sales Jun 7 21:49:24 www dovecot: pop3(sales): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Did i have to initialise the mailbox in the homedirectory? What did i forget. I didn't change anything to the default dovecot.conf, i just installed the package with yum install dovecot (so latest version). This error also shows up when logging into port 143. Thanks for your help. My dovecot -n output if that helps is : [ec2-user@www log]$ dovecot -n # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.9.20-10.30.amzn1.x86_64 x86_64 mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 userdb { driver = passwd } Thanks a lot. -atv

Dovecot login is slow
by Mitocariu Emilian 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Hi, I have an Ubuntu 16.04 server with dovecot 2.2.22 configured as an imap server with an LDAP backend for authentication. This is the output of "dovecot -n": # 2.2.22 (fe789d2): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.13 (7b14904) # OS: Linux 4.4.0-77-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS auth_debug_passwords = yes mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:~/ mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = vmail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocols = imap lmtp service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </path/to/my/cert ssl_key = </path/to/my/key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext default_fields = home=/var/mail/vmail/%n driver = ldap } The problem i'm having is that when i try to login it takes more than 10 seconds, making my webmail very slow. For testing i login to imap like this "openssl s_client -connect localhost:993" and sometimes i get this message "* OK Waiting for authentication master process to respond..". I saw at other people, one of the problem was because they didn't disabled pam authentication when using another backend (like ldap or sql), but i already did that. Does anyone know what could cause such long login times and how to fix it?

Anyway I attached my patch, please have a look. Thanks.

Which allowed services can be defined (imap, pop3, etc.)
by Malte Schmidt 08 Jun '17

08 Jun '17

Hello, I am using Dovecot with an LDAP-backend for authentication. According to the documentation at https://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/RestrictAccess with LDAP and "pass_filter" it is possible to filter allowed services for the user with: pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)(service=%s)) Thats pretty cool. Now, in the LDAP-settings I created corresponding fields (service) and added the allowed services to tthese fields (imap, pop3, etc.). After that change, certain services were not available to that user anymore. So it seems that more services are there and after explicitly setting the services which are allowed, the other, not mentioned services stop to work. Now two questions: Is there any documented, full-featured list of the services that can be added? Is it possible to "flip" that setting so its not allowing certain services but denying the ones that are added to the "service"-fields? Cheers

virtual isp address, local delivery
by Hugh Bragg 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

I'm trying to understand how to deliver mail to an address locally which is popped from my isps email account. I access and keep these emails backed up on dovecot and use postfix smtp to deliver mail. The problem is that while fetchmail uses dovecot lda directly, postfix can't include my isps domain in its $mydestination because I won't be able to send mail to other users in that domain. I want to be able to send mail to other users I'm popping for in that domain, or even send myself mail. Currently postfix just relays the mail to the isp and it returns through fetchmail, but I'd like to have it delivered locally and still be able to email my isp users that I don't pop. As far as I can tell, this can't be done because virtual users have to be in postfix $mydestination. Does someone have a better setup they can share or know how to do this? Hugh

doveadm sync SSL error when upgrading from 2.2.27 -> 2.2.29
by Pallissard, Matthew 07 Jun '17

07 Jun '17

I'm starting to see the following error from doveadm when upgrading from 2.2.27 to 2.2.29. > doveadm(ip.add.re.ss): Error: doveadm client disconnected before handshake: SSL_accept() failed: error:1417A0C1:SSL routines:tls_post_process_client_hello:no shared cipher I'm using a cert/key with the following curve. ASN1 OID: prime256v1 NIST CURVE: P-256 Downgrading to 2.2.27 resolves the issue. Does anyone know about this off the top of their head? If not I'll try to git-bisect 2.2.27->2.2.28 for any offending commits later on this week. -- Matt Pallissard

Multiuser attachment storage (mail_attachment_dir)
by megaone＠yandex.ru 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Was trying to set up attachment storage, but folders are receiving permission only for current user, so if another user is receiving a mail with same attachment he is getting permission denied error on reading hash file. Is it possible to setup global attachment storage to work with all users, at least in domain? mail_access_groups won't help, as folders are given 0 group permission. Umask and setfacl won't help either.

Two domains - same user names filter
by Sandbox 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

Hi, I have two LDAP domains, which has some equal users, eg: abc(a)domain1.com abc(a)domain2.com I sat up this config: domain1 users maildirs are stored in /home/vmail/username domain2 users maildirs are stored in /home/vmail/domain2/username This works fine except one thing: i cant set up the ldap query to choose the correct maildir if the user names are equal. Is it possible to use a user_filter which will choose the correct maildir and user/domain from the email address? My current ldap.conf for domain1: hosts = ldap.domain1.com base = ou=People,dc=domain1,dc=com ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = uid=user user_filter = (uid=%n) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (uid=%n) default_pass_scheme = MD5 and for domain2: hosts = ldap.domain2.com base = ou=People,dc=domain2,dc=com ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = \ =mail=maildir:/home/vmail/%{ldap:departmentNumber)/%n/Maildir user_filter = (uid=%n) pass_attrs = uid=%n,userPassword=password pass_filter = (uid=%n) default_pass_scheme = MD5 Thanks, Robert

vnd.dovecot.pipe in sieve: what user....
by Larry Rosenman 06 Jun '17

06 Jun '17

I have a site-wide bayes database, that currently gets populated by scripts running as a user that is also the user that Exim uses to call spamd. When a script is running from the vnd.dovecot.pipe call, what user is it running as? Would a setuid script work? -- Larry Rosenman http://www.lerctr.org/~ler Phone: +1 214-642-9640 E-Mail: larryrtx(a)gmail.com US Mail: 17716 Limpia Crk, Round Rock, TX 78664-7281

Better back up what you have before trying anything. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

corrupted indexes rebuilding over and over
by micah 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Hi, On saturday one of our dovecot machines had an OOPS, and we had to powercycle it. When it came up, it did a filesystem fsck (ext4) and fixed a couple things, but nothing in lost+found. Now, about 50 users have a problem where their indexes are corrupted. Dovecot tries to fix them, but for some reason it is failing. The users are seeing their mails duplicated and they cannot delete mails. I can see in the logs dovecot detecting this and trying to rebuild operations during delivery and imap login, but its repeating over and over and over. For one user, I've seen more than 4k lines in the logs about this. If i try to do doveadm force-resync -u username INBOX I get this: doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: mdbox /n/nuffsaid/mdbox/storage: Inconsistency in map index (3494,32332 != 3494,383536) doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: fscking index file /srv/dovecot_indexes/n/nuffsaid/storage/dovecot.map.index doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: mdbox /n/nuffsaid/mdbox/storage: rebuilding indexes doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: fscking index file /srv/dovecot_indexes/n/nuffsaid/storage/dovecot.map.index doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: mdbox /n/nuffsaid/mdbox/storage: Inconsistency in map index (3494,32332 != 3494,384024) doveadm(nuffsaid): Warning: fscking index file /srv/dovecot_indexes/n/nuffsaid/storage/dovecot.map.index but then if i do it again, I get the same thing, over and over and over (the numbers change a little). This is dovecot 2.2.27 with mdbox format.... what can I do to fix this? Its driving users mad, and they keep going over quota as their space fills. thanks! micah

Possible RENAME bug
by Gabriele Bulfon 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Hello, I'm having some trouble working on a webapp managing the imap tree on Dovecot. The same doesn't happen on other imap servers (e.g. Cyrus). Looks like if I receive shared folders from another user, and try to rename a folder in it, the rename command returns "ok", then if you list the new folder name, it isn't there. Looks like you've lost all the original folder because if you try listing the parent folder, you don't have nor the original nor the new name, even trying to logout/disconnect and reconnect/login. Luckily nothing is lost actually, if you try to create a new folder on the parent folder, and then list the parent folder, you get both the newly created one and the renamed one also appears magically! Here is the IMAP trace to reproduce: *** ON ACCOUN RECEIVING SHARED FOLDER *** PREPARE A FOLDER IN SHARED TREE WITH JUST ONE CHILD "aaaa" *** THEN RENAME aaaa FOLDER TO bbbb *** AFTER "OK Rename" FOLDER IS NOT PRESENT IN LIST A3 LIST "" Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/Junk/aaaa * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/Junk/aaaa A3 OK List completed. A4 RENAME Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/Junk/aaaa Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/Junk/bbbb A4 OK Rename completed. A5 LIST "" Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/Junk/bbbb A5 OK List completed. *** bbbb IS NOT LISTED AFTER "OK Rename"! *** LOGOUT/DISCONNECT - CONNECT/LOGIN AND LIST BRANCH *** A66 LIST "" "Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/%" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/Sent * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/Drafts * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/Trash * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/Spam * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/Junk * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/INBOX A66 OK List completed. *** Junk HAS NO CHILDREN! *** CREATE A NEW FOLDER IN Junk *** A68 CREATE Shared/gabriele.prova(a)sonicle.com/Junk/zzzz A68 OK Create completed.

NOTHING IS LOST. Is there anything I can do to force "bbbb" to reappear without having to create a new folder? Any idea?

Problem with LMTP
by Angel L. Mateo 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Hello, I'm having a problem with LMTP in a proxy server since I upgraded from 2.1.16 to 2.2.28. In my logs I have: Apr 26 12:54:17 musio12 dovecot: lmtp(2082): Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 2082 killed with signal 11 (core dumped). As far as I could check the message is delivered in a later connection. I have enabled core dumped files, but how could I debug it? -- Angel L.

Retrieving mail from read-only mdbox
by Mark Moseley 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

This is a 'has anyone run into this and solved it' post. And yes, I've been reading and re-reading TFM but without luck. The background is that I'm working on tooling before we start a mass maildir->mdbox conversion. One of those tools is recovering mail from backups (easy as pie with maildir). We've got all of our email on Netapp file servers. They have nice snapshotting but the snapshots are, of course, readonly. My question: is there a doveadm command that will allow for email to be retrieved from a readonly mdbox, either directly (like manipulating the mdbox files directly) or by doveadm talking to the dovecot processes? Ideally, there'd be something like doveadm dump, but that could dump selected message contents. I've tried using IMAP with mail_location pointed at the snapshot, but, though I can get a listing of emails in the mailbox, the fetch fails when dovecot can't write-lock dovecot.index.log. If anyone has gotten something similar to work, I'd love to hear about it. A working IMAP setup would be the ideal, since it's more easily automatible (but I'll take whatever I can get). Any and all hints are most welcome!

10-ssl.conf: Unknown setting: ssl / debian 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u

Hi, I've been trying to get dovecot2 running and kept having this error message: May 13 13:38:32 mail systemd[1]: Started Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server. May 13 13:38:32 mail dovecot[2178]: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 61: Unknown setting: ssl # dovecot --build-options Build options: ioloop=epoll notify=inotify ipv6 openssl io_block_size=8192 Mail storages: shared mdbox sdbox maildir mbox cydir imapc pop3c raw fail SQL driver plugins: mysql postgresql sqlite Passdb: checkpassword ldap pam passwd passwd-file shadow sql Userdb: checkpassword ldap(plugin) nss passwd prefetch passwd-file sql # openssl version OpenSSL 1.0.1t 3 May 2016 This package is from from Debian repos with version number 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u amd64 In case I had inadvertently entered some invisible charaters in 10-ssl.conf, I deleted and typed this out. Not copy-pasted: # >10-ssl.conf # cat 10-ssl.conf # echo 'ssl = required' >10-ssl.conf # echo 'ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/xxx.key' >>10-ssl.conf # echo 'ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/private/xxx.pem' >>10-ssl.conf I’ve done usual searching online for a week and read some dox, but cannot see what I’ve missed out. Any ideas? Please? Thanks, Sophie
