How to use quota with dovecot
by Mik J 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Hello, I would like to use quotas with dovecot and things are not clear to me. I read this page https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota 1) I did this # ls /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so # grep mail_plugins /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf mail_plugins = notify replication quota Then the page tells about 20-imap.conf but an explanation is written # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins). So what is that default global mail_plugins ? Is it the one coming from 10-mail.conf ? 2) I tried both use this mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota in 20-imap.conf or comment it. And restarted dovecot each time Then commented out in 90-quota.conf quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_grace = 10%% } But I have this message # doveadm quota recalc -u user(a)mydomain.org doveadm(user(a)mydomain.org): Error: Quota not enabled Does anyone knows why ?

v2.2.29 released
by Timo Sirainen 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.29.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.29.tar.gz.sig * passdb/userdb dict: Don't double-expand %variables in keys. If dict was used as the authentication passdb, using specially crafted %variables in the username could be used to cause DoS (CVE-2017-2669) * When Dovecot encounters an internal error, it logs the real error and usually logs another line saying what function failed. Previously the second log line's error message was a rather uninformative "Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information." Now the real error message is duplicated in this second log line. * lmtp: If a delivery has multiple recipients, run autoexpunging only for the last recipient. This avoids a problem where a long autoexpunge run causes LMTP client to timeout between the DATA replies, resulting in duplicate mail deliveries. * config: Don't stop the process due to idling. Otherwise the configuration is reloaded when the process restarts. * mail_log plugin: Differentiate autoexpunges from regular expunges * imapc: Use LOGOUT to cleanly disconnect from server. * lib-http: Internal status codes (>9000) are no longer visible in logs * director: Log vhost count changes and HOST-UP/DOWN + quota: Add plugin { quota_max_mail_size } setting to limit the maximum individual mail size that can be saved. + imapc: Add imapc_features=delay-login. If set, connecting to the remote IMAP server isn't done until it's necessary. + imapc: Add imapc_connection_retry_count and imapc_connection_retry_interval settings. + imap, pop3, indexer-worker: Add (deinit) to process title before autoexpunging runs. + Added %{encrypt} and %{decrypt} variables + imap/pop3 proxy: Log proxy state in errors as human-readable string. + imap/pop3-login: All forward_* extra fields returned by passdb are sent to the next hop when proxying using ID/XCLIENT commands. On the receiving side these fields are imported and sent to auth process where they're accessible via %{passdb:forward_*}. This is done only if the sending IP address matches login_trusted_networks. + imap-login: If imap_id_retain=yes, send the IMAP ID string to auth process. %{client_id} expands to it in auth process. The ID string is also sent to the next hop when proxying. + passdb imap: Use ssl_client_ca_* settings for CA validation. - fts-tika: Fixed crash when parsing attachment without Content-Disposition header. Broken by 2.2.28. - trash plugin was broken in 2.2.28 - auth: When passdb/userdb lookups were done via auth-workers, too much data was added to auth cache. This could have resulted in wrong replies when using multiple passdbs/userdbs. - auth: passdb { skip & mechanisms } were ignored for the first passdb - oauth2: Various fixes, including fixes to crashes - dsync: Large Sieve scripts (or other large metadata) weren't always synced. - Index rebuild (e.g. doveadm force-resync) set all mails as \Recent - imap-hibernate: %{userdb:*} wasn't expanded in mail_log_prefix - doveadm: Exit codes weren't preserved when proxying commands via doveadm-server. Almost all errors used exit code 75 (tempfail). - ACLs weren't applied to not-yet-existing autocreated mailboxes. - Fixed a potential crash when parsing a broken message header. - cassandra: Fallback consistency settings weren't working correctly. - doveadm director status <user>: "Initial config" was always empty - imapc: Various reconnection fixes.

How to migration my mails from another server ?
by Mik J 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Hello, I would like to host my mails and I would like to retrieve my existing mailbox content from my ISP My ISP ====== I don't have root access on the server The server seem to use Dovecot according to the banner. My machine ========== I have root access on the server I use Dovecot 2.2.21 I use Maildir I read this page multiple times but it's not clear to me https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Dsync "Set up configuration for the IMAP server you wish to migrate from" Is it my ISP's server or my server ? In which configuration file should I do this ? The same for this option dsync_features = empty-header-workaroundwhere is it supposed to be configured ? My most important case is quite "simple": the mailboxes (there are 2 or 3) I want to migrate don't exist on my machine, so there is no such problems as merge existing mails. Will this migration use imap and retrieve the content of the mails ? Will it use port 143 or 993 ? I'll use the backup option I have another case which there are mails on both servers. So I would like to keep existing mails on my machine. I'll use the sync -1 option ? Thank you

[Bug] FTS invalid address parsing
by azurit＠pobox.sk 10 Apr '17

10 Apr '17

Hi, i found another bug in FTS while parsing quoted-printable/base64-encoded sender's name inside 'From' header (again, i was figuring out why some of messages cannot be searched). Header: From: =?UTF-8?Q?A=2CB?= <test(a)example.com> Data send to Solr by Dovecot: <field name="from">A@, B &lt;test(a)example.com&gt;</field> Header: From: =?UTF-8?Q?A_B=2CC?= <test(a)example.com> Data send to Solr by Dovecot: <field name="from">A@</field> Header: From: =?UTF-8?B?QSBCLEMK?= <test(a)example.com> Data send to Solr by Dovecot: <field name="from">A@</field> Dovecot 2.2.27. azur

[Bug] FTS double escaping
by azurit＠pobox.sk 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Hi, i'm trying to resolve few problems with indexing 'From' headers using FTS/Solr. I was tcpdumping the communication between Dovecot and Jetty/Solr and noticed that 'From' headers, which includes also sender's name, are double escaped. This is what was Dovecot sending to Solr: </field><field name="from">Name Surname &lt;test(a)example.com&gt;</field></doc></add> As you can see, characters < and > were escaped to < and > which were, again, escaped to &lt; and &gt;. This is doing problems while trying to index whole e-mail address, as Solr sees it as '<test(a)example.com>'. I spend hours trying to figure out why i'm able to search in all parts of e-mail addresses but searching for full and exact e-mail address was successfull ONLY for messages which doesn't include sender's name in 'From' header. Finally, after i found this bug, this fixed all search problems: <filter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory" pattern="&lt;" replacement=""/> <filter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory" pattern="&gt;" replacement=""/> I hope that, at least, this bug, reported by me, will be fixed. Thank you. azur

sieve does not seem to be working
by Robert Moskowitz 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

my local.conf has: # 90-sieve.conf plugin { sieve_before = /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve } and cat /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve require ["fileinto","mailbox"]; if anyof ( header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES", header :contains "subject" "***SPAM***" ) { fileinto :create "Spam"; } There IS a globalfilter.svbin when I tried: sendmail -i testit3(a)test.htt-consult.com < sample-spam-GTUBE-junk.txt amavis is flagging it as ***Spam*** but it stays in inbox. So I tried: sieve-test -e -l /home/vmail/test.htt-consult.com/testit3/ /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve /home/vmail/test.htt-consult.com/testit3/cur/1491512409.M371278P6513.z9m9z.test.htt-consult.com\,S\=1823\,W\=1868\:2\, info: msgid=<GTUBE1.1010101(a)example.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'Spam'. sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success And it DID get copied to Spam, not moved. I am now seeing it in inbox and Spam. Of course ownership on the message in Spam were wrong (root:root instead of vmail:mail, but I fixed that). So two questions, probably linked: Why did sieve not work. Is the subject test case sensitive? If it is case sensitive, why did the sieve-test work? thanks

Pigeonhole Sieve Extprograms Plugin
by KT Walrus 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Just discovered the Pigeonhole Sieve Extprograms plugin (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Extprograms <https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Extprograms>)… I currently have Postfix configured to run a script to store all incoming messages into a Mysql DB and a batch job that retrieves the messages in the DB, processes them and delivers them to the recipients' Dovecot servers. Seems to me it might be better to have Postfix deliver all incoming messages directly to a single Dovecot mailbox and use this Sieve plugin to do the whole job of updating the DB, processing the message, and delivering to the recipients. Also, I have a need to implement updating the DB when the recipient reads a message for the first time (setting the \Seen flag). Would this work best to execute a script using this Sieve plugin from a IMAP Sieve script that watches for \Seen flag changes? This might be a whole lot better than the way I was thinking of doing it before. I’m basically implementing mailing lists where the senders receive a notification reply with a link to a web page where the message may be edited/deleted before it is sent to recipients (after a fixed amount of time has elapsed). This gives the sender the opportunity to change his mind before it is too late or to send to recipients immediately (by marking the message as Urgent). Also, even after the message has been sent out, I want to allow the sender to be able to delete it in the recipients mailboxes if they have not read it yet (downloaded it to their email client) or to see which recipients have read the message (and when they read/downloaded it for the first time). Both the sender and the recipients will have Dovecot mailboxes so I want to give more control over the messages for their entire lifetimes (both for senders and for recipients) than normal email does. Any thoughts? Kevin

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.18.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.29.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

Hello Dovecot users, This is a rather small release. It fixes one important bug in the new discard script feature. It also adds a couple of new features for IMAPSieve. Changelog v0.4.18: + imapsieve plugin: Implemented the copy_source_after rule action. When this is enabled for a mailbox rule, the specified Sieve script is executed for the message in the source mailbox during a "COPY" event. This happens only after the Sieve script that is executed for the corresponding message in the destination mailbox finishes running successfully. + imapsieve plugin: Added non-standard Sieve environment items for the source and destination mailbox. - multiscript: The execution of the discard script had an implicit "keep", rather than an implicit "discard". The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.18… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x 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

Updating mysql db when messages first read by IMAP user
by KT Walrus 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

I need to implement updating a mysql db when the \SEEN flag is set by IMAP. New message delivery is done by having Postfix store all new inbound messages in a mysql db and a batch job watching the db for new messages and delivering them to the correct Dovecot server for the recipients. The batch job leaves a log entry in the db (for each recipient) with the current timestamp and adds a header with the log id to the outgoing message that is sent to Dovecot. The log table has a column for the first read timestamp which is set to 0 initially. I plan on implementing a Sieve IMAP script that watches for changes to the \SEEN flag and sends a mailto: notify message that contains the log id (from the message header) and the current date to a mail address dedicated for keep track of \SEEN flag changes. The notify message will be delivered to this mail address where a batch job watches that mail address and updates the db for the log id in the notify message with the timestamp and the current date if the row in the log table has a first read timestamp of 0. I plan on providing a web page that the sender can use to see whether the messages they have sent have been seen by the recipients. The web page will show other info too, but the part that I need to implement next is updating the db when a sent message has been read by the recipients of the message. Is this a good way to do this? Or, is there a better way than using an IMAP Sieve script to send notify messages? Is there any other way to have a Sieve script update a mysql database? Or, is there some other mechanism in Dovecot to use instead of an IMAP Sieve script? Kevin

IMAPSieve Changed flags cause?
by MRob 09 Apr '17

09 Apr '17

RFC 6785 says I should be able to run scripts when a command changes flags on a message but I can't understand what to put in imapsieve_mailboxXXX_causes. Dovecot logs something like STORE as an invalid cause. How do I run an administrator Sieve script caused from change in flags?

LAYOUT=fs and subfolders listing
by Dovecot＠9livesdata 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

dovecot-2.2.28-1.el6_31.wing.x86_64 I've created this public shared namespace with namespace public2 { type = public separator = . prefix = Public2. location = maildir:/mail/public2:INDEX=/mail/%u/public:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=.store subscriptions = no } and I'm using the "imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep" and filesystem structure listed at the end. The problem is that with this configuration thunderbird (and roundcubemail) shows the Public2 namespace but empty - without any folders. I've tried with another DIRNAME=StoR - same effect If I will not use DIRNAME at all(and no .stor directories) TB sees the f1 f2 folders but not the f2/s1 subfolder. Just like it would not list any subfolders for subscription. Within TB I can create subfolder say f1/mysub1 but after it's unsubscribed cannot be subscribed again(not shown in listing) Can You provide any hints? I can live without the DIRNAME= but it has to list subfolders for subscription.

Running sievec as user vmail
by Robert Moskowitz 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

My sieve problem ended up a permissions problem. I ran sievec as root and .svbin needs vmail:mail ownership. I could always just add the chown command to my process, but I wonder if there is some 'clean' way to run sievec as user vmail while logged in as root? thanks

Doubt with imap/imap-login processes in proxy server
by Angel L. Mateo 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

Hi, I have a question I have not cleared after reading https://wiki.dovecot.org/LoginProcess. I'm developing a proxy server (without director, because the backend server is specified by a ldap lookup). My question is: the limit of imap (or pop3) concurrently users that the proxy can handle is determined by the imap-login limit or the imap one? -- Angel L.

Spam instead of Junk folder
by Robert Moskowitz 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

Traditionally I have used 'Spam' as the folder name for all those emails that get tagged as, well Spam. But it seems that the standard is now 'Junk' as from 15-mailboxes.conf # Space separated list of IMAP SPECIAL-USE attributes as specified by # RFC 6154: \All \Archive \Drafts \Flagged \Junk \Sent \Trash #special_use = If I have in local.conf # 15-mailboxes.conf namespace inbox { mailbox Spam { special_use = \Junk } } This would auto make Spam, but: Would Junk (and all the others specified in 15-mailboxes.conf) still get created? What actually controls which folders get created?

Dovecot impatient with mysql?
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

It seems dovecot is impatient with connecting with mysql, as I see in maillog entries like: Apr 6 11:48:30 z9m9z dovecot: dict: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) - waiting for 5 seconds before retry Apr 6 11:48:35 z9m9z dovecot: dict: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) - waiting for 25 seconds before retry I suspect it does connect eventually. This is a test system with only 1GB of memory and free reports: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 1025484 696344 24556 21528 304584 251552 Swap: 524284 92168 432116 The production box has 2GB, so if the problem is mysql is swapping out, that will be 'fixed', if it is processor, well this is an ARMv7 duo core, as is the production box. I am considering buying the new quad core. Is there anything I can do to get dovecot more patient with mysql, or just ignore there messages? thank you

Replication for Pigeonhole ManageSieve
by Joe Nahmias 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '17

Hello, I currently have one machine running postfix SMTP server as MTA along with dovecot IMAP server for email. Although it only supports a handful of users, email service is important to us all; so I'm looking to make this a more fault-tolerant / highly-available system. To that end, I'm planning on configuring postfix to use deliver/dovecot-lda as my MDA (using procmail at the moment), spinning up another machine with postfix/dovecot and setting up master/master replication using dsync/doveadm-sync. My reading on the subject suggests that this should (given appropriate MX & SRV dns records) make traffic balanced across both nodes, and the system should be resilient if one of the nodes should fail without the need for much/any human intervention. In order to replace the functionality that procmail currently provides as MDA, I was thinking to use Sieve. Fortunately, it seems the Pigeonhole project provides almost everything I need on the server side to make this work. The one potential gap I have identified is the syncing of the sieve scripts between the two machines. Has any one dealt with this and come up with a good solution? Does dsync already handle this and I just haven't figured it out? Let me know if my question is best directed elsewhere. Thanks in advance for any help, --Joe PS - please cc me as I don't subscribe to this list.

Problem with Dovecot and BlackBerry

Hi all, i've got a strange behaviour with a BlackBerry Classic Phone (BBOS 10.3.2.2876) in combination with Dovecot 2.2.13 while trying to fetch mails.

Meaning of "protocol !indexer-worker"
by Angel L. Mateo 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Hello, I'm configuring dovecot 2.2.28. Comparing with previous versions I have found now in 10-mail.conf the config: protocol !indexer-worker { # If folder vsize calculation requires opening more than this many mails from # disk (i.e. mail sizes aren't in cache already), return failure and finish # the calculation via indexer process. Disabled by default. This setting must # be 0 for indexer-worker processes. #mail_vsize_bg_after_count = 0 } I can see that indexer-worker is the index service in dovecot. But I don't what the '!' means in front of the service name. Any who can explain it to me? -- Angel L.

Users home path inside a sieve script

Perhaps I have not looked hard enough but is it possible to get at the current users auth userdb "home" (or $HOME) variable from inside a sieve script? Example?
