Replication not working
by Simon Pierre Desrosiers 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hello, I am trying to setup replication between two Mac OS X El Capitan Server. I have added the field as I could understand from the replication page of dovecot and from a few poste in the mailing list. The mac uses the system user _dovecot as main system account. I have setup ssh keys between the two systems for the two _dovecot servers. SSh works fine from the terminal. But yet, I get these messages in the log file : Mar 09 20:18:44 auth: Error: od[getpwnam_ext](submit): No record for user Mar 09 20:18:44 doveadm: Error: Host key verification failed. Mar 09 20:18:44 dsync-local(submit): Error: read(_dovecot(a)laposte.mycompagny.com) failed: EOF Mar 09 20:18:44 dsync-local(submit): Error: Remote command returned error 255 Mar 09 20:23:44 auth: Error: od[getpwnam_ext](submit): No record for user Mar 09 20:23:44 doveadm: Error: Host key verification failed.

I have a few things about which I am not sure. We configure port 12345, but nothing listen on that port. The doveadm_password, what is it exactly ? Should I use a distinct account than _dovecot for synchronisation (all the fields that need to be added for replication) ? Here is my configuration, any help would be appreciated : # 2.2.5: /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 15.3.0 x86_64 hfs auth_mechanisms = cram-md5 digest-md5 gssapi

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.13.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.22.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hello Dovecot users, Pigeonhole v0.4.12 still compiles against Dovecot v2.2.22.rc1, but only with warnings. That is the primary reason for this new release. However, there are also a few significant changes as listed below. When no significant problems are reported, a definitive release will follow closely after Dovecot v2.2.22 is released. Changelog v0.4.13: * redirect action: Added the list-id header to the duplicate ID for mail loop prevention. This means that the message sent directly to the user and the message coming through the mailing list itself are treated as different messages by the loop detection of the redirect command, even though their Message-ID may be identical. * Changed the Sieve number type to uint64_t, which means that Sieve numbers can now technically range up to 2^64. Some other Sieve implementation allowed this, making this change necessary for successful migration. + Implemented the sieve_implicit_extensions setting. The extensions listed in this setting do not need to be enabled explicitly using the Sieve "require" command. This behavior directkly violates the standard, but can be necessary for compatibility with some existing implementations of Sieve. Do not use this setting unless you really need to! - redirect action: Made mail loop detection more robust by forcibly adding a Message-ID header if it is missing. - Prevent logging a useless "script not found" error message for LDAP scripts for which the entry exists but no attribute containing a script. This is not necessarily an error. - extprograms plugin: Changed the communication channel between parent and child process for a directly forked program from a socketpair to a double pipe. Linux does not support /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout and friends for sockets. For some shell program authors this may be confusing, so that is why it is changed. When using the script service, these device nodes are still not usable though. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13… 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

segfault in imap and doveadm
by Joe Beaubien 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi everyone, Dovecot keeps on segfaulting on me and I am unsure why. This setup has been running for 5 years and has given me very little trouble. I am running Dovecot 2.1.7, setup with mdbox. The imap process keeps on segfaulting for the same account (makes me think maybe an email or folder of that account is problematic). My big issue is that force-resync also causes doveadm to segfault. Here is the mail.err file I am getting: Mar 7 12:34:36 mba kernel: [ 1955.486324] imap[5663]: segfault at 0 ip 00007ff1c1bd0b5e sp 00007fffd8599a40 error 4 in libdovecot-storage.so.0.0.0[7ff1c1b51000+fb000] Mar 7 12:34:36 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/Sara/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:36 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/Lucie/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:37 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: mdbox map /mba_data/emails/document/storage/dovecot.map.index corrupted: map_uid=284393 refcount too low Mar 7 12:34:37 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/Templates/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:39 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/Sent/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:40 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:40 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:41 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:41 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:41 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:42 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/_EE - a verifier/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:43 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:48 mba kernel: [ 1967.972883] imap[5688]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f058ebc9b5e sp 00007fff9baa7c00 error 4 in libdovecot-storage.so.0.0.0[7f058eb4a000+fb000] Mar 7 12:34:49 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/Lucie/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:43:44 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: indexer disconnected unexpectedly Mar 7 12:43:44 mba dovecot: indexer: Error: Indexer worker disconnected, discarding 119 requests for document Mar 7 12:48:31 mba kernel: [ 2790.363755] doveadm[6586]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f1b2023fb5e sp 00007fff4e8ce200 error 4 in libdovecot-storage.so.0.0.0[7f1b201c0000+fb000] Mar 7 12:49:10 mba kernel: [ 2829.203900] doveadm[6604]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fa0d16e4b5e sp 00007fff1b89f480 error 4 in libdovecot-storage.so.0.0.0[7fa0d1665000+fb000] First line is imap segfaulting.

questions regarding zlib plugin
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi, faced with a current space problem on our dovecot 2.2.18 server, I thought about using the zlib plugin. My questions: - is it really as simple as adding the options to the conf files as described in the docs :) ? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib - As this just compresses new messages; dose anybody has a sort of simple cron or whatever script or best practice how to compress existing maildir mails? The doc is a bit complicated to me at that point... Thanks a lot and regards . Götz

It's possible it's generating ephemeral DH keys. In a previous post to this list, I note that the run time to generate these keys can vary wildly, and gets worse with longer keys. Sometimes you get lucky, and you'll generate then quickly, sometimes it takes a long while (minutes). http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-November/102447.html Try running openssl dhparam -noout 2048 to see how it varies for you. If what I suspect is true, you can try using shorter keys. A followup post suggest a way you can precompute the key Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Thank you for your suggestion! As much as I hate Outlook (Look Out!), there are loads of people using really old versions; 2003 is no longer supported, but loads of people use 2007. Thunderbird can be expected to be far more up to date. Implementing features to work with older clients will always be a problem. Just a simple example, almost unrelated here, but this is either wrong by TB or wrong by Outlook (versions 2007, 2010 and 2013 that I know of). When the IMAP server sends a message, OL will pop up a window that requires the user to acknowledge the message via a popup. TB just pops up the message in the normal 'new mail' notify if that is configured and it might be lost if notify isn't set to show. Either way, the implementation is different b/w the two client products. Is OL right or is TB right... IMAP doco says that the message should be made to be acknowledged by the client; OL's version can't easily be ignored or missed, but TB's can easily be missed. But TB's implementation is more user friendly if the server wants to keep sending messages from time to time. I considered using this for MOTD type stuff and maybe random inspirational or motivational messages; even to remind or inform users to do certain things [one example in the dovecot wiki is to advise that the vacation message is still active]. A TB notification is next to harmless, but an OL one needs to be acknowledged every time, which would be very painful. Anyway, the point is that if a feature is added for OCSP stabling support, you couldn't really expect older versions of Look Out to comply with it (even though M$ could patch it easily, they care less about older versions than getting people to subscribe to Office 365 these days). Cheers A.

Implementation of TLS OCSP Stapling
by dovecot＠flut.demon.nl 06 Mar '16

06 Mar '16

Hi all, About a year ago, Torsten already asked for OCSP stapling (http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-April/100632.html) Unfortunately, there was no answer to his question. Now RFC 7633 ("TLS Feature Extension", https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7633, a.k.a. "Must Staple") has landed, revocation is getting serious! I personally would like to embed all my TLS certificates with the must-staple extension. The great project Let's Encrypt already supports it: https://github.com/letsencrypt/boulder/pull/1224 I'm aware most MTAs don't really care about the certificate, but big players as Google take TLS encryption very seriously: https://googleblog.blogspot.nl/2016/02/building-safer-web-for-everyone.html So I would like to know if Dovecot is planning to feature OCSP stapling. That way I know for sure my "must staple" certificates can be used by Dovecot. And in my opinion, every TLS offering daemon should be up to par to the capabilities of TLS.. Not lag behind :) What's your opinion on this matter? Thanks in advance for any anwser! Greets, Osiris

dovecot local indexes and multiple servers
by alex 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

Hi, I've been testing mdbox with local indexes on our nfs based directors + multiple imap/lda/pop3 server setup. The performance is noticeably better than maildir with indexes on nfs, so I'd like to make this work. About the possible direction to other servers the wiki says that it will create a new index 'on the fly'. That is true, but after the index is recreated, Thunderbird (imap) re-downloads all the messages and sees all those messages as unread again! This is probably quite logical as the message status is only kept in the indexes, but this is not very customer friendly. Is there a way to avoid this problem? I'd rather not manually sync those local indexes between our servers. In fact, I was planning on deleting (old) indexes when a user moved to another server or even if they haven't checked their mail for XX days. with up to 10Gb mailboxes the indexes themselves can get up to 20-40Mb for a mailbox. that amounts to quite a lot of storage for 200k+ users. Thanks, Alex.

VS: Dovecot stops responding when I update SSL certificate

Did you change dh parameter size as well?

Dear All, I'd like dovecot-lda (deliver) to post a message to a public mailbox. It doesn't seem to work when I just use the -m parameter with the IMAP-Mailbox path, e.g. Public/info . What parameters are required? Do I have to change the headers with formail in any way? TIA! - Chris

Found bug in quota-status + patch
by Thierry Coppey 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hello, I've found a bug in the quota-status util (Dovecot 2.2.21, and probably below): it always return OK (sufficient quota) because it fails to load the user properly. More specifically, the branch " if (quser == NULL) return 1; " in src/plugins/quota/quota-status.c:59 is always taken. (at least with postgresql backend, test your config with the (adapted) command below: printf "recipient=mailbox(a)example.com\nsize=10000000000\n\n" | nc inet:mailstore.example.com 12340 it should reject, unless you have no quota, or more than 10G). Therefore it is pointless to configure the quota-status service as described in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota because of that bug: the mail would be always accepted from the client and rejected at the end of the (Postfix) processing by lda. It is possible to reject directly at SMTP level when the mailbox is full using Postfix and main.cf: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = ... reject_unauth_destination, ... check_policy_service inet:mailstore.example.com:12340 smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions = check_policy_service inet:mailstore.example.com:12340 However there remain a *small inconsistency* as lda will count the size of message including headers whereas smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions seems not to count them towards the message size (or additional headers might be added by other preprocessing e.g. antispam etc...) I propose the patch below to fix quota-status. Could an expert double-check that it doesn't have memory leaks? (it shouldn't but I'm not yet comfortable enough with Dovecot memory management). Best regards, Thierry C.

Dual certificate
by Jean-Baptiste Vignaud 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hello all; Is anyone knows if it's possible to have a dual certificate setup on dovecot like in postfix or apache ? i tried to add several crts in local name section : local_name imap.server.tdl { ssl_cert = <server_rsa_crt.pem ssl_key = <server_rsa_key.pem ssl_cert = <server_ecdsa_crt.pem ssl_key = <server_ecdsa_key.pem } but it seems that dovecot takes the last one (ecdsa) and that rsa cert is not used. to check if booth are working, i check with openssl: openssl s_client openssl s_client -connect imap.server.tdl:143 -starttls imap -servername imap.server.tdl -cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 for rsa and openssl s_client openssl s_client -connect imap.server.tdl:143 -starttls imap -servername imap.server.tdl -cipher ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 for ecdsa In apache we have to duplicate the cert / key lines one for rsa, one for edcda. In postfix, we have some specific ecdsa conf keys. So is there a way to do the same in dovecot ?
