[feature suggestion] pigeonhole - sendmail path for outgoing email
by krzf83＠gmail.com 06 Oct '16

pigeonhole seems to use /usr/sbin/sendmail for its outgoing emails - even tought that is does not seem to be documented anywhere. How about setting to specify diffrent sendmail program path and parameters?

doveadm reload kicked proxy/director users
by Peer Heinlein 06 Oct '16

06 Oct '16

We just noticed, that a doveadm reload kicked all existing imap-sessions on our Dovecot Director. We're surprised about that, because shutdown_clients is set to NO. Is there any way to reload a config change without kicking all IMAP sessions?

Changing Dovecot's format from Maildir to mdbox
by Kristopher Joyce 05 Oct '16

05 Oct '16

Hello, I am trying to change Dovecot's email format from Maildir to mdbox. I have changed Maildir to mdbox in Mail_location from: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n to: mdbox:/var/vmail/%d/%n. Nothing seems to happen after I restart Dovecot. The users are virtual users and not local users. Is there something I am missing?

Dovecot + SAN with dedup+compression
by María Arrea 04 Oct '16

04 Oct '16

Hello We have a big Dovecot Server (over 20 TB of mail, 40K users, over 30K iops) and we are evaluating a new SAN Array. We have competitive proposals from Pure Storage (All Flash) , HP 3Par (Hybrid), NetApp FaaS (Hybrid) & EMC Unity (Hybrid). We rely in mdbox+zlib for main storage and mdbox+lzma for secondary storage, does anybody in the list have experience with SAN-based deduplication/compression? Regards Maria.

I think this is still the case: when I exported NFSv4, I also turned on both r/w delegation as well. The exported filesystem exhibited weird locking or slow write operations on NFS clients (e.g. "touch newfile" would take a second to complete). This went away when I turned off write delegation.

doveadm backup fails (compromised single attachment storage)
by Webert de Souza Lima 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Hi, A couple of months ago I had a problem with Single Attachment Storage after infrastructure migration; All mailboxes were rsynced to another filesystem, and that may have broken Single Attachment Storage. Many, many (if not all) mailboxes show the below logs on dovecot: imap(foo(a)bar.com): Error: read(attachments-connector(zlib(/dovecotdir/mail/ bar.com/foo/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/u.26426))) failed: read(/dovecotdir/attach/ bar.com/de/86/de8673894d6fb3f4460e3c26436eefa9a73517fa0f000452f553822367220… b/l]) failed: open(/dovecotdir/attach/ bar.com/de/86/de8673894d6fb3f4460e3c26436eefa9a73517fa0f000452f553822367220…) failed: No such file or directory When that happens, the MUA keeps syncing forever. Now, I need to migrate all mailboxes (again) to another dovecot instance (with no SAS), which works perfectly for new users but when I try to migrate users from my current dovecot server for this new server, I get such errors again, and I can't migrate: 2016-09-29T12:20:50.995934059Z Sep 29 12:20:50 dsync-server(foo(a)bar.com): Error: dsync(cf7d091311eb): read(attachments-connector(zlib(/dovecotdir/mdbox/bar.com/foo/storage/m.1))) failed: read(/dovecotdir/attach/ bar.com/0c/df/0cdf86b1920938fe3a043f87e2ee9e63dda276bd5b9fba687e4a0c63d181c… b/l]) failed: open(/dovecotdir/attach/ bar.com/0c/df/0cdf86b1920938fe3a043f87e2ee9e63dda276bd5b9fba687e4a0c63d181c…) failed: No such file or directory (last sent=mail, last recv=mail_request (EOL)) Is there a way to fix the attachments problem?

Shared folder in a sharded cluster setup
by Peer Heinlein 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Hi! With Dovecot Director and Proxy or the new (great!) TAG-feature from Dovecot it's easy to set up a shared IMAP-Cluster with individual local filesystems. But I'm unsure if it's possible to build a setup where shared mailboxes still can work. If user A is on Cluster (1) and user B is on (2), and Cluster (1) does not have access to the mail-home from B on (2), then user A can not reach the shared folders provided from User B on (2). I hope that there is a kind of backend-proxy-mechanism, so that the imap process of A on (1) can imap-proxy the requests for the shared folder to a node from cluster shard (2). And: To be exact, the imap process on (1) should forward the request to cluster (2) by the director system to make sure, that the connection will terminate on the right active backend of User B. This sounds like a special problem if local filesystems with mdbox are used and I now the great features of using Dovecot on Object Store, where every node can check out all mail-locations from all users. But especially on obox-systems it is very important that requests for a user are always terminated on the same backend. So how can shared folders work there?! Node (1) can not checkout the shared folders from User B if his obox storage is already active on another host (2)!

Requiring client certificate on only one interface
by Braden Thomas 02 Oct '16

02 Oct '16

Hi, I'm trying to require client certificates on only one interface. I'm running dovecot 2.1.7. There have been a couple of recent threads about this kind of configuration: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-August/105244.html (Aug 2016) http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-February/103067.html (Feb 2016) However, these threads recommend an approach that no longer works. Specifically, the "-l" or "-P" arguments to imap-login no longer work. Is there currently a recommended way to configure dovecot like this? Braden

Bug: Shared Mailbox - Case Sensitivity
by Leander Schäfer 01 Oct '16

Hi, unfortunately I found a bug in Dovecot's ACL handling for shared mailboxes. It turns out Dovecot doesn't enforce lower casing the privileged username to whom the mailbox should be shared to. This results in a invalid configuration.

acl_group not working not working correctly
by Leander Schäfer 01 Oct '16

01 Oct '16

Hi, I'm trying to setup group based ACLs coming from OpenLDAP. My setup doesn't require a POSIX Group match. In the Dovecot configuration file I have this: "user_attrs = [...], mailAclGroups=acl_groups" as well as "acl = vfile:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300". The user has "public" in the LDAP attribute "mailAclGroups". It seems to get everything right. I checked with doveadm - and I see public ist listed as expected: cat /var/log/debug.log [...] Sep 16 23:39:04 WM-01 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=leander(a)mydomain.localdomain acl_groups=public [...] cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot/global-acls INBOX owner lrwstipekxa Drafts owner lrwstipeka Sent owner lrwstipeka Spam owner lrwstipeka Trash owner lrwstipeka Public authenticated l Public group-override=public lrwstipekx Public/* group-override=public lrwstipekx doveadm mailbox list -u leander(a)mydomain.localdomain Drafts Sent Trash Spam Shared Public Public/Service Center Shared/test(a)mydomain.localdomain Shared/test(a)mydomain.localdomain/Drafts Shared/test(a)mydomain.localdomain/Sent Shared/test(a)mydomain.localdomain/Trash Shared/test(a)mydomain.localdomain/Spam INBOX But here comes the strange thing: telnet equal to Thunderbird: .

NFSv4 and Maildir
by Robert Blayzor 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Recently moving to newer storage platforms for mailbox storage so looking at moving mounts from NFSv3 with lots of issues with locking and caching to NFSv4. There seems to be a lot of benefits to v4 along with some other new features, namely “delegation”. So the question boils down to, to delegate or not delegate on Maildir storage. There may be many reasons based on actual platform why to do (or not to do this), but I want to get the general opinion from others that may have more experience with this. Our setup is several FreeBSD 10.x clients running Dovecot/Exim, NetApp NFS mail storage (probably moving to TrueNAS) and using F5 load balancers for client side connections/SSL offload. From what I’ve found (and what i’ve read in the RFC) is that delegation seems to work best when there is NOT a lot of file contention from clients accessing the same files. I realize that in some situations many people are using director to try and keep users on the same client; in our case we’re doing it with F5 iRules. The F5 iRules work great for POP3 and IMAP session persistence, but unfortunately that doesn’t work for SMTP and Dovecot LDA, so we still have possible race conditions from the MTA’s delivering into “INBOX”. (mostly dovecot indexes updating at the same time). So the big question is, who is using Dovecot with maildirs with NFSv4 mounts. What has your experience been? Are you using delegation? By choice and why did you come to that decision. I’m drawing up the conclusion that if you can *mostly* control client control to specific files (ie: directing access to a mailbox to come from one client), then delegation might be ok. However, if you’re not using director and have several NFS mail clients racing to access mailboxes, then delegation might turn into chaos. Your comments welcome and appreciated. -- Robert inoc.net!rblayzor XMPP: rblayzor.AT.inoc.net PGP Key: 78BEDCE1 @ pgp.mit.edu

To be exact here, it's not the compiler but the linker failing (of course, the whole problem is about the linking process). With "--as-needed", the crypto/ssl libraries are not linked at all with the object files. I don't quite understand why it doesn't fall back to the system crypto/ssl libraries because they are in the default pathes with all other libraries. (That's basically what most other software packages do if my custom pathes for "-L" "-Wl,-R" somehow get ignored in the building process.) IMHO, the unusual option "--as-needed" should be removed. There seems to be no benefit but it basically keeps Dovecot to be linked against any custom-specified library. Maybe it's just a problem with RHEL/CentOS 6 and the GCC that ships with it. I'm compiling a lot of software myself and link it against my custom OpenSSL. Never had this problem before, otherwise I would have known to specify "-Wl,--no-as-needed" to reverse ld's behavior to the default. Well, at least I've learned something new. :-) Regards, Andreas

Dovecot Pro Community Edition
by Markus Petzsch 28 Sep '16

Hi, I'm trying to setup push notifications for Open-Xchange (OX) and struggle with finding the push_notification plugin. According to https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:OX_Mail#Requirements it should be found in the Dovecot Pro Community Edition. I'm currently running dovecot that came with CentOS 7.2 but am intrested in OX's push feature. Can someone point me in the right direction where to find the community edition repos? https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=Dovecot:Main_Page_Dovecot#dovecotq… only lists password protected repos. Thx for your help in advance. Best Regards Markus Petzsch

Trying to regain access to my email archive after an upgrade.
by Rick Jones 27 Sep '16

Hi - I had been running an Ubuntu 12.04 system on which I receive email, with an inbox in /var/mail/ and a bunch of folders under ~/Maildir. When I upgraded from 14.04 there were a bunch of questions about keeping old/new config files and my muddling through it has me seeing only the inbox, and then a Drafts, Sent and Trash Folder. I would like to regain access to the messages stored under ~/Maildir, but have been thoroughly unsuccessful. I seem to run into duplicate prefix issues and I suspect I have other issues, when I try to add: namespace rest { separator = / prefix = location = maildir:~/Maildir } to what is already present. I've seen a few of the wiki pages, but not fully understanding what is going-on I'm afraid I've not groked them terribly well. any help/pointers for this cluser would be much appreciated. rick jones raj@tardy:~$ dovecot --version 2.2.9 raj@tardy:~$ dovecot -n # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: NOTE: You can get a new clean config file with: doveconf -n > dovecot-new.conf doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:25: 'imaps' protocol is no longer necessary, remove it doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:732: protocol managesieve {} has been replaced by protocol sieve { } doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:904: add auth_ prefix to all settings inside auth {} and remove the auth {} section completely doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:942: passdb pam {} has been replaced by passdb { driver=pam } doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:1055: userdb passwd {} has been replaced by userdb { driver=passwd } doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:1117: auth_user has been replaced by service auth { user } # OS: Linux 3.13.0-95-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS auth_mechanisms = plain login log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail 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 { driver = pam } passdb { driver = pam } protocols = imap service auth { user = root } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { driver = passwd } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } raj@tardy:~$ vi /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf raj@tardy:~$ dovecot --version 2.2.9
