Users with multiple password
by Eirik Rye 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

Hi! ~ dovecot --version 2.2.22 (fe789d2) I am wondering if there is a way to set up virtual users with multiple valid passwords. We want to be able to provide users with device/app-specific passwords for their email accounts, as well as being able to create temporary "access tokens" for technical support when required. I quickly found out that passdb using passwd-file or an sql-backend does not support returning multiple entries ("Error: passwd-file /etc/dovecot/virtual.passwd: User rye exists more than once"). The documentation mentions that you can pass the plain-text password on to the MySQL-server for verification, and I suppose multiple passwords could could work, given a query like this (pseudo-SQL): `SELECT password FROM account WHERE user = '%u' AND domain = '%d' AND password = TO_BASE64((SHA2('%w', 512));` However, having Dovecot pass the plain-text password and letting the database deal with the hashing and encoding doesn't seem like a very "clean" solution. Preferably, dovecot should be the only piece of software touching the plain-text. Ideally, I would like the following behavior: 1. passdb results multiple possible hashed passwords for the user 2. dovecot attempts the passwords in order 3. login fails normally if none of the passdb results match Does anyone have any experience, or tips for setting up this type of behavior? Other ideas we have touched upon are: 1. Different usernames (eg. 'user_device' or 'user_application') 2. Multiple passdbs(?) Best regards, Eirik Rye

Keeping it in separate files would add slightly more security (defense in depth), that would protect from, for example, an admin fumble or bug in the SSL library. "Michael A.

It's on my to-do list, but I think you can use dehydrated in signing mode. --signcsr (-s) path/to/csr.pem Sign a given CSR, output CRT on stdout (advanced usage) In this way, you can reuse private key, as well as making it more secure by removing a privileged operations (private key acces) allowing dehydrated to be run as a non-privilged/separate user.

Pigeonhole External pipe script going zombie?
by Matt Simpson 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

I’m running dovecot 2.2.27 and pigeonhole 0.4.16 on FreeBSD 11. I’m using the pigeonhole/sieve external pipe plugin to run a Perl program to send a Pushover notification when certain messages are received. The Perl script is executed, and the notification is sent. But then the script task seems to go zombie until it is killed after a timeout. In the user’s sieve log, I get a message like error: msgid=<20170112191921.66140.qmail(a)v1.redhorse.me>: pipe action: failed to pipe message to program `sievepush.pl': refer to server log for more information. [2017-01-12 14:19:36]. (even though the message really was piped to the program successfully) In the dovecot server log, I see Jan 12 14:19:21 v1 dovecot: lda(matt): Debug: sieve: Executing script from `/usr/home/matt/maildoms/.dovecot.svbin' Jan 12 14:19:21 v1 dovecot: lda(matt): Debug: sieve: action pipe: running program: sievepush.pl Jan 12 14:19:21 v1 dovecot: lda(matt): Debug: Mailbox stdin: Opened mail UID=1 because: mail stream Jan 12 14:19:21 v1 dovecot: lda(matt): Debug: waiting for program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/sievepush.pl' to finish after 0 msecs Jan 12 14:19:31 v1 dovecot: lda(matt): Debug: program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/sievepush.pl'(66145) execution timed out after 10000 milliseconds: sending TERM signal Jan 12 14:19:36 v1 dovecot: lda(matt): Debug: program `/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/sievepush.pl' (66145) did not die after 5000 milliseconds: sending KILL signal In the process list during that 10 second interval, I see matt 66142 29972 801 801 0 S - 0:00.00 bin/qmail-local -- matt /home/matt/maildoms jmn-matt - jmn-m matt 66143 66142 801 801 0 S - 0:00.00 /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot matt 66144 66143 801 801 0 S - 0:00.01 /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda matt 66145 66144 801 801 0 Z - 0:00.65 <defunct> I’m not a Unix programming ace, but from what I’ve been able to find out, this seems to mean that the lda process is forking another process to run the pipe script, and not getting the proper notification when it finishes (not issuing a wait?). So after 10 seconds, it sends a TERM to the task which is no longer running, and when that doesn’t work, it sends a KILL.

Problem with Let's Encrypt Certificate
by Bastian Sebode 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Hello Folks, my StartCom SSL-Certificate expires soon and so I wanted to switch to Let's Encrypt Certificates instead. Unfortunatelly Thunderbird seems not to like it, although all -tested- other Clients work without any problems. When I connect with Thunderbird it sends an "Encrypted Alert" directly after the TLS handshake although Dovecot wants to continue the session. In the Dovecot Log it says: Feb 17 17:27:17 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x20, ret=1: SSL negotiation finished successfully [82.100.242.26] Feb 17 17:27:17 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=1: SSL negotiation finished successfully [82.100.242.26] Feb 17 17:27:17 imap-login: Warning: SSL alert: where=0x4004, ret=554: fatal bad certificate [82.100.242.26] But the certificate is okay, cause it works with other Mailclients and openssl also says so. What certificate is Thunderbird complaining about? Thunderbird says something like "There's no supported authentication method". I don't use any Certificates for Client Authentication, neither in Dovecot nor in Thunderbird. When I do, it fails the same way. Weirdly my friend uses the same Dovecot Version with Let's Encrypt on his Server and it works with Thunderbird without any flaws. Mine fails the same way in his Thunderbird and also in a fresh installation. After two weeks of investigating I still have no clue why it behaves like this. I uploaded two Wireshark tracefiles, further logs and dovecot -n, may be someone sees any possible reasons for this weird behavior or has any further tips on solving this issue. https://sebode-online.de/dovecot-letsencrypt/ Every hint is highly appreciated!

Scaling to 10 Million IMAP sessions on a single server
by KT Walrus 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

I just read this blog: https://mrotaru.wordpress.com/2013/10/10/scaling-to-12-million-concurrent-c… <https://mrotaru.wordpress.com/2013/10/10/scaling-to-12-million-concurrent-c…> about scaling to 12 Million Concurrent Connections on a single server and it got me thinking. Would it be possible to scale Dovecot IMAP server to 10 Million IMAP sessions on a single server? I think the current implementation of having a separate process manage each active IMAP session (w/ the possibility of moving idling sessions to a single hibernate process) will never be able to deploy a single server managing 10 Million IMAP sessions. But, would it be possible to implement a new IMAP server plugin that uses a fixed configurable pool of “worker” processes, much like NGINX or PHP-FPM does. These servers can probably scale to 10 Million TCP connections, if the server is carefully tuned and has enough cores/memory to support that many active sessions. I’m thinking that the new IMAP server could use some external database (e.g., Redis or Memcached) to save all the sessions state and have the “worker” processes poll the TCP sockets for new IMAP commands to process (fetching the session state from the external database when it has a command that is waiting on a response). The Dovecot IMAP proxies could even queue incoming commands to proxy many incoming requests to a smaller number of backend connections (like ProxySQL does for MySQL requests). That might allow each Dovecot proxy to support 10 Million IMAP sessions and a single backend could support multiple front end Dovecot proxies (to scale to 100 Million concurrent IMAP connections using 10 proxies for 100 Million connections and 1 backend server for 10 Million connections). Of course, the backend server may need to be beefy and have very fast NVMe SSDs for local storage, but changing the IMAP server to manage a pool of workers instead of requiring a process per active session, would allow bigger scale up and could save large sites a lot of money. Is this a good idea? Or, am I missing something? Kevin

v2.2.28 release candidate 2 released
by Timo Sirainen 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.28.rc2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.28.rc2.tar.gz.sig I'm assuming that most of the bugs are now found and fixed, so the final 2.2.28 should be out in a day or two. Changes since rc1: * Reverted [UNKNOWN-CTE] -> [PARSE] change + pop3c: Added pop3c_features=no-pipelining setting to prevent using PIPELINING extension even though it's advertised. - lmtp_user_concurrency_limit didn't work if userdb changed username - Fixed various bugs that were introduced in rc1 Here's the full list of changes again: * director: "doveadm director move" to same host now refreshes user's timeout. This allows keeping user constantly in the same backend by just periodically moving the user there. * When new mailbox is created, use initially INBOX's dovecot.index.cache caching decisions. * Expunging mails writes GUID to dovecot.index.log now only if the GUID is quickly available from index/cache. * pop3c: Increase timeout for PASS command to 5 minutes. * Mail access errors are no longer ignored when searching or sorting. With IMAP the untagged SEARCH/SORT reply is still sent the same as before, but NO reply is returned instead of OK. + Make dovecot.list.index's filename configurable. This is needed when there are multiple namespaces pointing to the same mail root (e.g. lazy_expunge namespace for mdbox). + Add size.virtual to dovecot.index when folder vsizes are accessed (e.g. quota=count). This is mainly a workaround to avoid slow quota recalculation performance when message sizes get lost from dovecot.index.cache due to corruption or some other reason. + auth: Support OAUTHBEARER and XOAUTH2 mechanisms. Also support them in lib-dsasl for client side. + auth: Support filtering by SASL mechanism: passdb { mechanisms } + Shrink the mail processes' memory usage by not storing settings duplicated unnecessarily many times. + imap: Add imap_fetch_failure setting to control what happens when FETCH fails for some mails (see example-config). + imap: Include info about last command in disconnection log line. + imap: Created new SEARCH=X-MIMEPART extension. It's currently not advertised by default, since it's not fully implemented. + fts-solr: Add support for basic authentication. + Cassandra: Support automatically retrying failed queries if execution_retry_interval and execution_retry_times are set. + doveadm: Added "mailbox path" command. + mail_log plugin: If plugin { mail_log_cached_only=yes }, log the wanted fields only if it doesn't require opening the email. + mail_vsize_bg_after_count setting added (see example-config). + mail_sort_max_read_count setting added (see example-config). + pop3c: Added pop3c_features=no-pipelining setting to prevent using PIPELINING extension even though it's advertised. - Index files: day_first_uid wasn't updated correctly since v2.2.26. This caused dovecot.index.cache to be non-optimal. - imap: SEARCH/SORT may have assert-crashed in client_check_command_hangs - imap: FETCH X-MAILBOX may have assert-crashed in virtual mailboxes. - imap: Running time in tagged command reply was often wrongly 0. - search: Using NOT n:* or NOT UID n:* wasn't handled correctly - director: doveadm director kick was broken - director: Fix crash when using director_flush_socket - director: Fix some bugs when moving users between backends - imapc: Various error handling fixes and improvements - master: doveadm process status output had a lot of duplicates. - autoexpunge: If mailbox's rename timestamp is newer than mail's save-timestamp, use it instead. This is useful when autoexpunging e.g. Trash/* and an entire mailbox is deleted by renaming it under Trash to prevent it from being autoexpunged too early. - autoexpunge: Multiple processes may have been trying to expunge the same mails simultaneously. This was problematic especially with lazy_expunge plugin. - auth: %{passdb:*} was empty in auth-worker processes - auth-policy: hashed_password was always sent empty. - dict-sql: Merge multiple UPDATEs to a single statement if possible. - fts-solr: Escape {} chars when sending queries - fts: fts_autoindex_exclude = \Special-use caused crashes - doveadm-server: Fix leaks and other problems when process is reused for multiple requests (service_count != 1) - sdbox: Fix assert-crash on mailbox create race - lda/lmtp: deliver_log_format values weren't entirely correct if Sieve was used. especially %{storage_id} was broken. - lmtp_user_concurrency_limit didn't work if userdb changed username

Sieve and multi-auth databases
by dovecot＠avv.solutions 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hello Community, I am currently facing the following: - dovecot+postfix+sieve are running smoothly using passwd-file authentication - if a add a second authentication scheme (let's say mysql), I face a problem with sieve: -- receiving thru postfix is ok on both passwd-file and mysql entries and correctly stored -- I am able to send from the server as before ** BUT sieve == does not authenticate anymore from a client (using the same configuration as before ie using imap credentials) == does not process the messages anymore Digging in the sieve logs, it reports not finding the scripts anymore for existing accounts found in the passwd-file Any idea? Thank you! - - - - + - - - - # Here is the 90-sieve.conf: plugin { sieve = file:/sd/MAIL_IMAP_POP/%d/%n/_dovecot-sieve;active=/sd/MAIL_IMAP_POP/%d/%n/_dovecot-sieve-active sieve_default = /sd/myhost/var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve = /sd/MAIL_IMAP_POP/%d/%n/__Sieve sieve_global_dir = /sd/myhost/var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/ sieve_before = /sd/MAIL_IMAP_POP/SieveBefore sieve_after = /sd/MAIL_IMAP_POP/%d/SieveAfter/ sieve_after2 = /sd/MAIL_IMAP_POP/SieveAfter/ sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.filter sieve_filter_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-filters } - - - - + - - - - # Authentication for SQL users.

doveadm: Fatal: All your namespaces have a location setting
by Ben 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hi, I am trying to migrate mail from an old server and am receiving the following error : doveadm(user(a)example.com): Fatal: All your namespaces have a location setting. Only namespaces with empty location settings are converted. (One namespace should default to mail_location setting) I found an old thread (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-September/068269.html) that referred to "location" being set. However this is not the case with me, my config reads: 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 = } My dsync conf looks as follows : imapc_host = old-server.example.com imapc_user = %u imapc_features = rfc822.size imapc_features = $imapc_features fetch-headers mail_prefetch_count = 20 imapc_port = 993 imapc_ssl = imaps imapc_ssl_verify = yes The command I'm calling is: sudo -u my_dovecot_user doveadm -c /etc/dovecot/dsync_config.conf -o mail_fsync=never backup -R -u user(a)example.com imapc:

IMAP directory structure.
by C5ace 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hello, I use Dovecot 2.1.7. and like to know how to force the IMAP directory structure to be: The IMAP server's desired directory structure is: root@server-2:/var/vmail/c5ace.com/test/Maildir# /.INBOX /.INBOX.Archives /.INBOX.Drafts /.INBOX.Junk /.INBOX.Sent /.INBOX.Templates /.INBOX.Trash and to prevent the mail clients like Thunderbird, Claws Mail, etc. to add additional out of tree directories. Thanks in advance. Elmar

v2.2.28 release candidate released
by Timo Sirainen 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.28.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.28.rc1.tar.gz.sig Pretty large release. Please test before the final v2.2.28, which should be out in a few days. BTW. Our plan is to start making new releases approximately every month from now on. * director: "doveadm director move" to same host now refreshes user's timeout. This allows keeping user constantly in the same backend by just periodically moving the user there. * When new mailbox is created, use initially INBOX's dovecot.index.cache caching decisions. * Expunging mails writes GUID to dovecot.index.log now only if the GUID is quickly available from index/cache. * imap: When BINARY FETCH sees invalid content, return NO [PARSE] reply instead of [UNKNOWNCTE] (which is now used only for actually unknown Content-Transfer-Encoding headers). * pop3c: Increase timeout for PASS command to 5 minutes. * Mail access errors are no longer ignored when searching or sorting. With IMAP the untagged SEARCH/SORT reply is still sent the same as before, but NO reply is returned instead of OK. + Make dovecot.list.index's filename configurable. This is needed when there are multiple namespaces pointing to the same mail root (e.g. lazy_expunge namespace for mdbox). + Add size.virtual to dovecot.index when folder vsizes are accessed (e.g. quota=count). This is mainly a workaround to avoid slow quota recalculation performance when message sizes get lost from dovecot.index.cache due to corruption or some other reason. + auth: Support OAUTHBEARER and XOAUTH2 mechanisms. Also support them in lib-dsasl for client side. + auth: Support filtering by SASL mechanism: passdb { mechanisms } + Shrink the mail processes' memory usage by not storing settings duplicated unnecessarily many times. + imap: Add imap_fetch_failure setting to control what happens when FETCH fails for some mails (see example-config). + imap: Include info about last command in disconnection log line. + imap: Created new SEARCH=X-MIMEPART extension. It's currently not advertised by default, since it's not fully implemented. + fts-solr: Add support for basic authentication. + Cassandra: Support automatically retrying failed queries if execution_retry_interval and execution_retry_times are set. + doveadm: Added "mailbox path" command. + mail_log plugin: If plugin { mail_log_cached_only=yes }, log the wanted fields only if it doesn't require opening the email. + mail_vsize_bg_after_count setting added (see example-config). + mail_sort_max_read_count setting added (see example-config). - Index files: day_first_uid wasn't updated correctly since v2.2.26. This caused dovecot.index.cache to be non-optimal. - imap: SEARCH/SORT may have assert-crashed in client_check_command_hangs - imap: FETCH X-MAILBOX may have assert-crashed in virtual mailboxes. - imap: Running time in tagged command reply was often wrongly 0. - search: Using NOT n:* or NOT UID n:* wasn't handled correctly - director: doveadm director kick was broken - director: Fix crash when using director_flush_socket - director: Fix some bugs when moving users between backends - imapc: Various error handling fixes and improvements - master: doveadm process status output had a lot of duplicates. - autoexpunge: If mailbox's rename timestamp is newer than mail's save-timestamp, use it instead. This is useful when autoexpunging e.g. Trash/* and an entire mailbox is deleted by renaming it under Trash to prevent it from being autoexpunged too early. - autoexpunge: Multiple processes may have been trying to expunge the same mails simultaneously. This was problematic especially with lazy_expunge plugin. - auth: %{passdb:*} was empty in auth-worker processes - auth-policy: hashed_password was always sent empty. - dict-sql: Merge multiple UPDATEs to a single statement if possible. - fts-solr: Escape {} chars when sending queries - fts: fts_autoexpunge_exclude = \Special-use caused crashes - doveadm-server: Fix leaks and other problems when process is reused for multiple requests (service_count != 1) - sdbox: Fix assert-crash on mailbox create race - lda/lmtp: deliver_log_format values weren't entirely correct if Sieve was used. especially %{storage_id} was broken.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.17.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.28.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 21 Feb '17

21 Feb '17

Hello Dovecot users, Several bugs were found in the course of the last few months, but no new features were created. So, this will be strictly a bug-fixing release. The previous Pigeonhole release should still work with the new Dovecot release, which means you are not required to upgrade. However, my advice would be to upgrade once this release candidate matures into a final release, since at least the first bug listed below is pretty severe. Changelog v0.4.17: - LDA Sieve plugin: Fixed handling of an early explicit keep during multiscript execution. Action side-effects and the message snapshot would be lost at the final stage where the implicit keep is evaluated. This could result in the IMAP flags assigned to the message to be forgotten or that headers modified by the "editheader" extension would revert to their original state. - file script storage: Amended the up-to-date time stamp comparison for on-disk binaries to include nanoseconds. This will fix problems occurring when both binary and script are saved within the same second. This fix is ineffective on older systems that have no support for nanoseconds in stat() timestamps, which should be pretty rare nowadays. - file script storage: Improve saving and listing permission error to include more details. - imapsieve plugin: Make sure "INBOX" is upper case in static mailbox rules. Otherwise, the mailbox name would never match, since matching is performed case-sensitively and Dovecot only returns the upper-cased "INBOX". - imapsieve plugin: Fixed assert failure occurring when used with virtual mailboxes. - doveadm sieve plugin: Fixed crash when setting Sieve script via attribute's string value. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.17… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.17… 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
