Hello, I am trying to migrate emails from: Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.5 (dovecot: 2.0.19apple1) to: RHEL 7.0 (dovecot: 2.2.10) Using command: dsync -m /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/XYZWXYZW-XYZW-XYZW-XYW-XYZXYZXYZXYZ/ -u giedriust mirror giedriust(a)192.168.xx.xx root(a)192.168.xx.xx's password: dsync-remote(giedriust(a)domainname.com): Error: dsync(local): Remote dsync doesn't use compatible protocol dsync-remote(giedriust(a)domainname.com): Error: dsync(local): Remote dsync doesn't use compatible protocol dsync-local(giedriust): Error: Invalid server handshake: VERSION dsync 3 2 Is there a way to synchronise all the emails and convert them from simple Maildir to Maildir (layout=fs) format? -- * Giedrius Tuminauskas*

"Temporary authentication failure" ? Cant connect with ldap user
by David Scheele 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Hello there, first time writing. I'm relatively new to linux and have been tasked with setting up the following configuration: Debian Wheezy Server Postfix Dovecot OpenLDAP So, I set up the Server, installed and configured postfix, ldap and dovecot (in that order) and now simply try to log into the mail account with a used from the LDAP over telnet. The test looks like this: *|> telnet localhost 143* *| a bunch of stuff ending with:* *| OK [**] Dovecot ready.* *|> a login username userpassword* *| a NO [UNAVAILABLE] Temporary authentication failure. [host and date here]* In the logs it says *|[date] mailserver dovecot: auth: Error: LDAP: binding failed (dn cn=admin): Invalid credentials* But I KNOW the admin password I entered into the dovecot-lda.conf.ext is correct as I use it to log into the LDAP directory over jxplorer I also know the password for the user i try to log in with is correct as i set it myself over and over just to be sure there are no typos. I'm at a loss, I've been at this end for a few days now and can't find good tutorials online because its either always an old dovecot, postfix, ldap or debian version and somewhere in the middle it just stops because some file is completely missing. I get the impression I'm just not able-brained for linux useage. Anyway, here are a few more informations about the system: *Dovecot version 2.1.7* Output of grep -v '^ *$#.*$\?$' dovecot-sql.conf: *hosts = localhost* *dn = cn=admin* *dnpass = [password]* *sasl_bind = no* *tls = no* *auth_bind = yes* *ldap_version = 3* *base = dc=[domainname],dc=de* *user_attrs = uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid* *user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u))* *pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password* Output of dovecot -n: *disable_plaintest_auth = no* *mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u* *[namespace config here]* *passdb {* *args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext* *driver = ldap* *}* *plugin {* *sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve* *sieve_dir = ~/sieve* *}* *protocols = " imap pop3"* *ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem* *ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem* *userdb {* *args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext* *driver =ldap* *}* *protocol pop3 {* *pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh* *pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv* *}* Any help would be greatly apprechiated.... I'm going crazy over here. Thanks in advance, David

Metadata suport for public mailboxes
by Sergio Talens-Oliag 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

I'm using the latest version of dovecot (2.2.15) and I was trying to use a public namespace with metadata; I've found that it works for the users with enough permissions to set the metadata, but the values are set per user, that is, each user has its own metadata and does not see the values set by others. That sounds OK, as my mail_attribute_dict is configured as follows: mail_attribute_dict = file:/srv/vmail/%d/spool/%n/dovecot-metadata But for public mailboxes it would make sense to set the metadata in a user independent mode. Searching around I've found the following on the dovecot changelog: 2013-11-02 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> [...] TODO: - Metadata doesn't work for public namespaces. There should probably be a mail_attribute_public_dict setting for that. [...] So my guess that the mail_attribute_public_dict is not available. Is that the case or has it been implemented in a different way? Thanks in advance, Sergio -- Sergio Talens-Oliag <sto(a)iti.es> <http://www.iti.es/> Key fingerprint = FF77 A16B 9D09 FC7B 6656 CFAD 261D E19A 578A 36F2

Updating Dovecot
by Luca Bertoncello 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Hi all! Currently I use Dovecot 1.2.9 from Ubuntu repositories. I'll try to upgrade Dovecot (to 2.2.15), compiling from sources. It seems not too difficult... :) Well, I see, that I have to recreate the configuration, since the old one can not be used with Dovecot2, OK, not a problem. Now: is there something special to be done to upgrade Dovecot or can I just stop the old version and start the new one and all runs without problem? Thanks a lot!

Conditional SASL authentication
by Luciano Mannucci 25 Feb '15

25 Feb '15

Hello, I have a few users that are often hit by a trojan virus that steals e-mail user and password. Having a very little (if not null) power on their machines, I need to be able to block the outgoing mail wich is handled by postfix via dovecot SASL. Blocking it at dovecot level would be optimal, for the virus doesn't necessarily use the e-mail of the user as its from, just the user and password for the authentication phase. Is it feasible?

Permissions problem with mdbox maildir
by Emanuel Evans 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

Hi! Apologies if this has come up before, or if this is a duplicate posting (I tried posting before but I think it got lost). Anyways, I'm trying to set up an IMAP server with dovecot, and everything seems to be more or less working except that I periodically see error messages like this in my logs: Feb 18 01:01:15 stark dovecot: lmtp(31956, root(a)aleme.nu) Error: link(/var/decrypted/vmail/aleme.nu/root/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index, /var/decrypted/vmail/aleme.nu/root/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.backup.tmp) failed: Operation not permitted I'm assuming it's a permissions problem with my maildir, but I can't figure out what the relevant process is in order to fix it. The maildir is owned by vmail with permissions set to 700; here is the output of dovecot -n: # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.8 fuse.encfs mail_gid = vmail mail_location = mdbox:/var/decrypted/vmail/%d/%n mail_uid = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave 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 { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { antispam_allow_append_to_spam = no antispam_dspam_args = --user;root;deliver=;--source=error;--client antispam_spam = Junk antispam_trash = Trash sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/before sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve" service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } service_count = 1 } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } user = vmail } ... <ssl stuff> ... userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " antispam" } As you can see, I'm keeping the maildir on an encfs-encrypted volume, in case that's relevant. Please let me know any ideas for why this might be happening. Thanks in advance! Emanuel

[Dovecot] Sieve vacation not working
by Phill Edwards 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

I've been trying all night to get vacation working in my .dovecot.sieve file. The way our email works is we have one account on dovecot which serves my mail and my wife's and we use procmail and sieve to put the emails in different folders depending on who it's for. I'm trying to set up a vacation reply on my wife's email address (aaaaaaaa@optus* below) so people can update to her new address. Here's my file with the email addresses masked: require ["fileinto", "vacation"]; if address :is "to" "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(a)ozemail.com.au" { fileinto "Phill_OzEmail_Folder"; stop; } elsif address :is "to" "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(a)optusnet.com.au" { fileinto "Phill_Optus_Folder"; stop; } elsif address :matches "to" "aaaaaaaa@optus*" { vacation "Please update my email address to bbbbbbbbb(a)exemail.com.au"; fileinto "Sarah_Optus_Folder"; stop; } else { keep; stop; } The problem I'm having is that no auto-replies are sent. I removed .dovecot.lda-dupes and that didn't help; so then I touched it and now it's a 0 byte file and that didn't help. There is no dovecot.sieve.err file and I can't see anything in /var/log/dovecot.log which gives any message about why this wouldn't work. The emails to aaaaaaa@optus* get filed into the right folder so I know the matching is working. I've also tried a reject recipe and that worked fine, so I know that it can send an email if it chooses to. So it's a complete black box mystery as to why it just won't send a reply. Regards, Phill

Using Dovecot IMAPC to collect mail
by Иван Колосов 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

Hi list. I was looking at Dovecot's imapc feature for some time. I am aiming to use Dovecot with imapc as a kind of "store-and-forward" proxy. If I understand imapc correctly, there are two connections at work — one between the client and Dovecot and one between Dovecot and backend. When the client asks Dovecot for mail, Dovecot will retrieve mail from the backend and then send it to the client. So the question is, is it possible to configure Dovecot with imapc in such a way that it would store the mail it passes to the client? Should I use mail filter plugin to do this? I am also quite confused about authentication in this setting. Let's assume we use 'plain' authentication mechanism, then what happens? I guess that the client just sends Dovecot its credentials, and Dovecot tries to authenticate with them at the backed, responding to the client accordingly. Is this true? Thanks.

Dovecot Director Issue/Bug when host=""
by Julian De Marchi 20 Feb '15

20 Feb '15

heya-- Been playing with dovecot today as I was learning about the features I haven't used yet like the director/proxy stuff. I setup a basic dovecot stack today which is 1 director and 1 IMAP dovecot server behind it. I have one user setup in MySQL and when I first changed from proxy mode to director mode I left the host column populated with the IMAP server. Once I confirmed this was working I then changed host to "" not NULL. When I then preformed my next check I got these errors(no details omitted as this is a test system): Feb 20 14:57:19 smtp-test dovecot: auth-worker(15423): Debug: sql(email3(a)example.com,10.107.0.8): query: SELECT email as user, password, host, 'Y' AS proxy_maybe, 'user' AS master, 'password' AS pass, 'any-cert' AS 'ssl' FROM virtual_users WHERE email='email3(a)example.com'; Feb 20 14:57:19 smtp-test dovecot: auth: Error: proxy(email3(a)example.com,10.107.0.8,<Zz0b430PigAKawAI>): DNS lookup for failed: Invalid input from dns-client Feb 20 14:57:19 smtp-test dovecot: auth: Error: close((null)) failed: Bad file descriptor When I changed the host data from "" to NULL all worked as expected. So the question is: is this a bug with the error output? It was kind of hard for me to diagnose at first without leaning on support in the freenode channel. This is very repeatable as it is a proper error, you can't resolve "". --julian

Xi autobuilds restored
by Stephan Bosch 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

Hi, Xi had problems for more than a month now. I finally managed to access it yesterday, but it was a bit more broken than I anticipated. I had to re-install the whole system. It should now work as before. It is now Debian stable/amd64, so that is now also the master release, which is always built first. Regards, Stephan.

Re: lazy_expunge + mdbox
by fernando.figaro＠uol.com.br 19 Feb '15

19 Feb '15

It appears to me that this issue is related to how lazy_expunge and last_instance work with mdbox - that is different from maildir. With maildir, the message is moved to the expunged namespace only when the last copy is removed (example: from trash folder). With mdbox, first time when you move message from one folder to another, dovecot creates a copy in the expunge namespace. When you delete messages or expunge them from Trash folder (example, nightly 'doveadm expunge' cronjob) they are simply deleted because they already have copies at expunged namespace. @Timo, is that correct ? This is what I could understand from my tests. Thanks, Fernando De: fernando.figaro(a)uol.com.br Enviada: Quarta-feira, 4 de Fevereiro de 2015 23:15 Para: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Assunto: lazy_expunge + mdbox Hi, I'm studying an issue related to mdbox and lazy_expunge. If it is active in the imap configuration, when you delete a message (copy to new folder + expunge old folder), a copy is also sent to the expunge namespace. I realize that is something related to mdbox and lazy_expunge_only_last_instance and found almost no references except this one (http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/file/24d6708cea76/TODO) lazy_expunge_only_last_instance=yes + mdbox doesn't work, because refcounts don't update immediately One other suggestion I found was to disable 'move' capability. Does anyone has other news regarding this issue ? Thanks, Fernando

doveadm sync out of memory
by Casey Stone 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello: I've been looking forward to getting my mail server up to Dovecot 2.2+ to be able to use the sync mechanism. I run my own mail server just for myself, with a few different accounts, and want to keep a master and backup server in sync. I'm running the Ubuntu server 14.04.1 mail stack which features Dovecot 2.2.9 (and Postfix). My setup is to use system users (userdb passwd / passdb pam) with ~/Maildir. I'll post full sanitized output of dovecot -n if it seems necessary. I have not enabled any plugins (do I need the replicator plugin active?) I have in my conf a doveadm_password defined. Anyway, after setting up an ssl listener on the main machine and after considerable struggles with SSL, I was able to run doveadm sync from the backup server successfully for a small mailbox (around 78 MB) with this command: doveadm sync -R tcps:mainserver.example.com:12345 Since I run this command as the system user on the backup server (same system users as main server) it 'just works' for the correct single user with no further options required. My plan is to run a daily cron job to sync once daily for each user. The problem is when I try to sync a larger mailbox, say 1 GB, dsync-server on the remote (master) machine throws fatal error 83 Out of Memory. I already raised vsz_limit to 512 MB. Problems probably arise with mailboxes around 200 MB though I haven't tested specifically. So my question is, is this expected and I will need to give my VM much more memory to be able to use dovecot sync, or do I have something set wrong, or is it a bug? Thanks for your help.

how to run dovecot imap on separate server from postfix?
by Robert Fantini 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hello we are using version 2.2.13 on debian. currently imap runs on the same system as postfix , spamassassin and other mail related software. I'd like to move dovecot imapd and mail storage to its own system. I've search google and wiki and could not see how to do so. could someone please point me in the direction to that done? I like reading documentation.. here is more info on our set up: postfix: # grep dovecot /etc/postfix/* /etc/postfix/main.cf:mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp /etc/postfix/main.cf:smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot kind regards Rob Fantini

Permissions for shared mail don't work
by Damien Desfontaines 17 Feb '15

Hello, (Sorry if you already received this mail. I sent it without having subscribed to the list, but I never got any confirmation; so I assumed it has been filtered by the anti-spam or something.) I'm using dovecot v.2.1.7 on Debian Sid, and the output of dovecot -n is available here: http://paste.fulltxt.net/C-O I'm trying to make the mailbox of (system) user "spam" available to user "ted". I followed these instructions: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions and it doesn't seem to work. To be more precise: - I manually (and recursively) changed the permissions of all files in ~spam/Mail to 660 (and 770 for the directories); - I manually (and recursively) changed the group owner of everything in ~spam/Mail to "mailperso", where "mailperso" is a group whose users are spam and ted; - I added « mail_access_groups=mailperso » into my dovecot config; - and I restarted dovecot. But still, when I send a new email to spam, it appears as being owned by group "spam" and having permissions set to 600, so I can't access it with user "ted". I also tried to set the setgid bit for ~spam/Mail, it didn't change anything, and when I recursively set the setgid for all subdirectories of ~spam/Mail, it gives new mails the correct group (mailperso) but not the correct permissions. Have I missed something, or is this a bug? Thanks in advance and best regards, Damien

Re: Re: Cannot delete folders from Maildir in only one account
by Christian Vielhauer 17 Feb '15

Hi Steffen thanks for your reply. I found that permissions of some folders are different than others… After chmod all permissions to the same go= permissions, it works. No matter what happens to generate different permissions for only this one account. Because all other accounts are correct. I will have a look at this from time to time. As soon it not happens agains this thread is solved.

These new folders are not deleteable, too.

What does Dovecot log? It usually logs to somewhere else. > In another account it works without any problems. (create and delete folders) - -- Steffen Kaiser
