sieve_extprograms: how to filter original message twice?
by N0T3P4D 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hi, I use dovecot and sieve_extprograms to encrypt all incoming messages with the help of a Python script. Now, I want to process the _original_ message a second time. However, as expected, the second filter is applied to the already filtered message. For reference, here's a copy of the sieve script in question: if address :matches "To" "X(a)Y.Z" { fileinto "INBOX"; filter "gpgit.py" ["X(a)Y.Z", "--encrypt"]; fileinto "encrypted"; filter "gpgit.py" ["X(a)Y.Z", "--wrap"]; # Should be applied to the original message but uses the result of the first filter command fileinto "wrapped"; stop; } Does anyone have an idea how to modify the script to get the intended result? Please cc me, as I'm not subscribed. Thanks for your help Jeremias

Building Dovecot 2.2.24 GIT HEAD version
by Juan C. Blanco 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hello, I'm testing the last GIT (master-2.2) versión of dovecot 2.2 but I'm not able to build new rpm packages with our SPEC file on Centos 5.11. The problem seems to be with a new lib-dcrypt library, the file "src/lib-dcrypt/dcrypt-openssl.c" includes the file "openssl/ec.h" but the OpenSSL devel package included in Centos 5.11 is openssl-devel-0.9.8e-40.el5_11 that not contains the "openssl/ec.h" file I don't know if the next dovecot 2.2 release (derived from 2.2.24 GIT) will not be compatible with Centos 5.11 or if it will be necesary to install some optional openssl packages.

Upgrade to 2.2.9 breaks sasl auth
by Paul 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

Hi This is my 1st time here so please be gentle. I have encountered one problem since upgrading from 2.0.19 to 2.2.9 which has me beat. The system provides sasl auth services via inet to a postfix 2.11 system. Since the upgrade postfix complains of no sasl methods available. The same dovecot configuration is used on both versions. Now I get these results looking at the inet connection Version 2.0.19 root@larch:~# telnet 192.168.3.15 12345 Trying 192.168.3.15... Connected to 192.168.3.15. Escape character is '^]'.

Connected to 192.168.3.112. Escape character is '^]'. VERSION 1 1 SPID 5300 Seems be something lacking in the response from 2.2.9 that fits the "no sasl methods" response from postfix I believe I should supply root@larchvm:/etc/dovecot-sasl# dovecot -n -c dovecot.conf # 2.2.9: dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.13.0-88-generic i686 Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 auth_verbose_passwords = plain base_dir = /var/run/dovecot-sasl/ disable_plaintext_auth = no instance_name = sasl mail_chroot = /chroot/mail mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_plugins = quota managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacati on subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy includ e variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot-sasl/dovecot-sqlmd5.conf driver = sql } plugin { deleted_to_trash_folder = Trash quota = maildir:User quota quota:noenforcing quota_rule = Trash:ignore sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } service auth { inet_listener auth-userdb { address = 192.168.3.112 port = 12345 ssl = yes } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 213.210.16.65 port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { address = 213.210.16.65 port = 993 ssl = yes } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { address = 213.210.16.65 port = 4190 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/pe.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/pe.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot-sasl/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota deleted_to_trash } Any help or suggestion warmly welcomed

shutdown_clients has no effect on doveadm stop
by Roland Rosenfeld 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

I try to restart dovecot 2.2.24 (for changing limits) without killing all IMAP and POP3 sessions. dovecot(1) tells me: When shutdown_clients is set to no, existing sessions will continue to use the old settings, after a dovecot reload. Also all sessions will keep alive after a dovecot stop. By default all active sessions will be shut down. According to my "dovecot -n" (see below), I have set "shutdown_clients=no", so "doveadm stop" should keep my open sessions. But if I try this out with a simple telnet to port 143 during "doveadm stop", I see the following: $ telnet imap 143 Connected to imap. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. a login user(a)example.com XXXXX a OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE QUOTA ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in * BYE Server shutting down. Connection closed by foreign host. The "BYE Server shutting down." happens exactly at the time, when I press return after "doveadm stop", "systemctl stop dovecot", or "systemctl restart dovecot" in the other shell. Only "systemctl reload dovecot" keeps the open sessions healthy. So it seems that either the man page is wrong, or shutdown_clients=no has no effect after dovecot stop...

Advice on once a day message delivery setup
by KT Walrus 14 Jun '16

14 Jun '16

I’m adding once a day mail delivery to my site. Messages are marked by the sender as “overnight” or “once a week” delivery. The way I’m planning on implementing this is to queue messages until midnight in a MySQL database. Each mailbox will be kept in two Dovecot mailstores. The first mailstore will give the users IMAP access to their mailbox. A second mailstore will hold the next day’s new messages. At midnight, a cron job runs to send messages in the MySQL database out to the second mailstore. Then, at 6am, a second cron job will run to sync the two mailstores using doveadm sync. What I am expecting to happen is that during the day, notification messages (from the site) may be delivered to the first mailstore (the one providing IMAP access to the user) but no messages from other users sent during the day will come until after 6am the next day. Each time the user submits a new message, a notification message is sent back to the sender with a link for editing the queued message in the MySQL database and an indication of when it is scheduled for delivery. I am kind of assuming that the morning sync process is fast enough so it can easily complete before noon (in 6 hours) even if I end up having lots of mailboxes on each fully loaded Dovecot server. Is the doveadm sync process reliable and efficient enough for this type of “once a day” morning new message mail delivery? Or, should I just start delivering messages after midnight and not bother with the second mailstore and subsequent sync? Just looking for any advice… I kind of like the idea of modeling my mail service after the US Post Office where the mailman delivers new mail once a day rather than like Twitter/Facebook where messages are posted in real time to encourage users to monitor their boxes throughout the day.

Potential bug report: Cannot use ":args" option via Pigeonhole Sieve pipe plugin
by Zeeshan Muhammad 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

Hi all, Following the instructions noted at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Plugins/Pipe , I am trying to make use of the Pigeonhole sieve pipe plugin to execute an application with custom arguments via my test sieve script: require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe"]; if address :is "to" "test(a)example.com" { pipe :args [ "first-arg", "second-arg" ] "sieve-pipe-example"; } I am editing my test sieve script via Mozilla Thunderbird v45.1.1 using the Sieve email-client addon (v0.2.3h, see https://github.com/thsmi/sieve#releases and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/sieve/ ) When I attempt to save the example sieve script above, I get the following error returned by ManageSieve via Mozilla Thunderbird's Sieve addon: "The script could not be saved: Sieve mail filter: line 3: error: unknown tagged argument ':args' for the pipe command (reported only once at first occurrence). Sieve mail filter: error: validation failed." I have setup sieve-pipe-example as follows in my 90-sieve.conf configuration: service sieve-pipe-script { executable = script /usr/bin/echo user = dovenull # socket name is program-name in Sieve unix_listener sieve-pipe-example { } } I cannot see where I am going wrong. I have combed through the specification at http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole/raw-file/tip/doc/rfc/spec-bos… as well as the official Dovecot/Pigeonhole wiki-pages and cannot find a solution. If I omit the :args option (and the arguments array), the sieve script successfully gets accepted by ManageSieve.

Marking an entire mailbox read
by ＠lbutlr 13 Jun '16

13 Jun '16

I have an archive mailbox that contains in excess of 100,000 mail messages (stored in maildir) that accidentally got marked as unread. It is too large for my mail client to select all the mail and mark it as read without throttling. Is there a simple way that I can use doveadm or something to simply mark every message in that maildir as read? Or do I just loop through every message and move it to <messaage>+S? find ~/Maildir/.Archive/cur/* -type f -name “1*:2” --exec mv {} {}S \; -- By the way, I think you might be the prettiest girl I've ever seen outside the pages of a really filthy magazine

sieve vacation script exclude based on sender email address

I thought I'd asked this question a few years ago but can't seem to find any eveidence of that so here goes. I've been looking at the sieve docs and recipes, done a lot of googling but no joy so far. Using stanard vacation script and that works great, however I want to exclude certain sender email addressess from ever receiving a vacation autoresponse, how do I go about adding that to my existing vacation recipe. I suspect my search terminology is what is causing me not to find anything as I typically am using exclude and similar search terms. -- Harondel J. Sibble Sibble Computer Consulting Ltd.

Scalability of Dovecot in the Cloud
by KT Walrus 12 Jun '16

12 Jun '16

Does anyone have any idea of how many IMAP connections a single cloud VM (4 vCores at 2.4GHz, 30GB RAM, local SSD storage - non-RAID) can be expected to handle in production. The mailboxes are fairly small (average 5MB total - 50MB max, as I don’t store attachments in Dovecot expect those saved through IMAP in the Sent/Drafts folders) and each user will probably have an average of 2 devices that have the mail clients configured to access each mailbox. Can such a server handle 100,000 mailboxes (200,000 devices/clients)? Or is it more like 10,000? Or, even smaller? I can scale the cloud VM up to 32 vCores and 240GB RAM (at 8 times the price) or split the mailboxes onto multiple VMs. The VM will also be running LMTP and other Dovecot services (I don’t plan on supporting POP3 at this time). The mailboxes will be sync’d to a backup VM running Dovecot for high availability so has some load from this background activity. LMTP will not be that high a load, I think, since most messages will be delivered by at night. But, clients will have IMAP connections 24/7. Just trying to get an idea of the cost of running a potentially huge/growing mail service in the cloud… I’m going to have to support around a million mailboxes before the site will generate significant revenue to support operations.

postfix+dovecot and usernames different to e-mail addresses
by Benjamin 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Hi, I want to replace an old mailserver setup with postfix+dovecot. The problem I'm facing now is, that the old system had usernames different to the e-mail address of the user. For example: E-Mail-Address: foo(a)example.com Username: foo-example.com I configured postfix so that it passes mails to dovecot using the following command (master.cf): dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mail-data:mail-data argv=/usr/lib/dovecot /dovecot-lda -a $(recipient) When dovecot now receives an e-mail from postfix it logs dovecot: lda(mail-data): Error: User initialization failed: Namespace 'INBOX.': Home directory not set for user. Can't expand ~/ for mail root dir in: ~/Maildir dovecot: lda: Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. My dovecot-ldap configuration looks quite simple: hosts = 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2 dn = cn=mailadmin,dc=example,dc=com dnpass = foo auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = ou=users,dc=example,dc=com user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u)) pass_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u)) I think dovecot does not know that the username is not the e-mail address, but how can I tell him? Furthermore we have alternative addresses here, so for example there may be an e-mail address bar(a)example.com owned by foo-example.com who has foo(a)example.com as primary address. Dovecot itself (IMAP) works fine, so here it can find the correct Maildir for the user. The difference is, that I connect using the username instead of the e-mail address in this case. # dovecot --version 2.2.22 (fe789d2) # postconf -d | grep mail_version mail_version = 3.1.0 # lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial Thanks for your help Benjamin

Easily kick and flush dovecot cache for all dovecot mailboxes in a domain
by Murray T. | Dreamscape 10 Jun '16

10 Jun '16

Hi, We are running a dovecot director cluster. We want to be able to easily kick all mailboxes in a domain off all backend mailstores. We also then want to flush the dovecot cache for all dovecot mailboxes in the domain. Is there a single command we can run on one of the front-end director mail proxies or backend mailstores that will do this instead of having to kick or flush each mailbox in a domain individually on each mailstore.

Re: Advice on once a day message delivery setup

You've rediscovered digesting, which many mailing list (including this one), will batch up messages and periodically send them as one large message (using MIME multipart or some other combination technique). The only difference is that your doing it at the receiving end. I wouldn't recommend it for all mail, but it could be useful to aggregate high-volume low-priority mail into managable chunks. There are many ways you could accomplish it, but the most straightforward way is to deliver new mail to sideline mailbox, and have a cron script deliver them to the user's INBOX (possibly digesting them into one message).

password expire warning for dovecot users in IMAP/POP login
by mkawada＠redhat.com 09 Jun '16

09 Jun '16

Dear list, Is it possible to give a notification about password exprire warning to users authenticated by OpenLDAP when the users login via dovecot using IMAP or POP? For example, when you ssh to a server and/or run ldapsearch, you can be warned with password expire warning like below: # ssh testuser@localhost testuser@localhost's password: Your password will expire in 31 minute(s). <== Last login: Wed Jun 8 12:22:08 2016 from localhost.localdomain ]$ ldapsearch -LLL -D uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com -w redhat "cn=testuser" -e ppolicy ldap_bind: Success (0) (Password expires in 1808 seconds) <== dn: uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com Does the same can be done for dovecot users authenticated by OpenLDAP in IMAP/POP? Thanks, -- Masaharu Kawada

If I’m running only imap-login service in my dovecot imap proxy, do I need to configure userdb or only passdb?

segfault in IMAP APPEND with compressed maildir
by Roland Rosenfeld 08 Jun '16

Hi! After upgrading from Debian wheezy with (self compiled) dovecot 2.2.15 to Debian jessie with (self compiled) 2.2.24, I observe the following segmentation fault in the logs: Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Error: read(<imap client>) failed: read(size=8003) failed: Connection reset by peer (uid=0, box=trash) Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Error: zlib.read(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap): unexpected EOF at 88001 Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Error: read(zlib(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap)) failed: read(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap) failed: zlib.read(/srv/mailstore/user(a)example.com/mail/.trash/tmp/1465283884.M336492P22902.imap): unexpected EOF at 88001 (uid=0, box=trash) Jun 7 09:23:09 imap dovecot: imap(user(a)example.com): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 22902 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) We also observed the same (rare) error in the past on the old system. But on the old system, there were only the first 3 lines without the segmentation fault, so we ignored the issue until now. The problem always happens on IMAP folders where the client writes to, like "trash", "drafts", "sent" and the like. I wasn't able to actively reproduce this issue, but can only observe in the logs that some customers run into this issue from time to time. So all I have is a core dump with the following backtrace: Core was generated by `dovecot/imap'. Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Slow auth
by Ranbir 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Hi Everyone, I'm running dovecot on a CentOS 7 box using PLAIN and GSSAPI auth. I need to use both because I have some clients that can't use GSSAPI. I haven't been able to get the userdb working properly without a password file and a userdb file. For example, I have to set the home default and change the username_format. I use FreeIPA and the dovecot server is joined properly to the realm. Authentication works (I don't have any passwords in the userdb file). The problem is authentication is slow. When I use Roundcube, the login takes longer than it should. In fact, every operation (changing folders, opening an email, replying, etc.) is just slow. The web server where Roundcube is running is barely loaded, the dovecot server isn't loaded and the FreeIPA server is basically sitting idle. When I watch /var/log/secure as I login to roundcube, I see this in the logs: http://pastebin.ca/3620032 Why is pam_unix being hit and then pam_sss? I'm thinking the pam_unix failures are the reason why the auth is slow. Here's the output from dovecot -n: http://pastebin.ca/3620029 I'm sure I haven't configured something correctly, hence the performance problems. Any help would be appreciated. -- Ranbir

Multiple recipient delimiter support?
by Tanstaafl 07 Jun '16

Trying to find out if dovecot supports the use of multiple recipient delimiters, as postfix does, but can't find an answer... The wiki only mentions it in two meaningful places (that I can find)... With respect to postfix: /wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix The above seems to imply that for postfix/LDA all I need to do is define it in postfix (which supports multiple recipient delimiters). And with Pigeonhole/Sieve: wiki.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration It seems to be saying that I must also define the same recipient_delimiters in dovecot config if using LMTP, and also if I want to use sieve for filtering of mail. But, the example and text says nothing about the use of multiple delimiters... So, is this supported? If so, the wiki should be updated to reflect this...
