Handle of "subscription" file/folder for IMAP
by Jorge Bastos 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hi, For IMAP users, there's the subscription file in the user's home, and if I try to subscribe more imap folders that are invisible, there's that one, but as it is a file, nothing is supposed to happen. Is there an way to, allow users to create the "subscriptions" folder without any collision, or just deny or don't show this file as an possible folder (which Is not) to subscribe. What does people normally do? Thanks in advanced,

Storage IOPs Calculation for Qmail Server
by SasiKumar.K 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Dear DovecotORG, In my organization, we are about to implement Qmail Server. * The number of current users will be 800, in future it may increase upto 1200. * The number of concurrent users will be 300. I am the engineer to deploy the Qmail in Linux server. I need to tell the storage team on the IOPs requirement. I requested 8TB usable space for the mail storage (can scale up in future). Kindly provide your suggestion on this. Thanks & Regards, K.SasiKumar Systems Engineer, Locuz Enterprise Solutions Limited, Bangalore

userdb-nss crash
by Yuriy Tabolin 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hi All. I have a some problem with dovecot, when I try to use nss in auth userdb. nss was setup to resolve users and group by winbind. nss and winbind works well, command "id user" shows remote user's info. I would like to use nss userdb, but dovecot crashes on start. Is this a bug or incorrect settings? Thank you for any help. dovecot log Nov 18 14:58:36 mail dovecot: auth: Panic: file userdb-nss.c: line 110 (userdb_nss_preinit): assertion failed: (bufsize > 0) Nov 18 14:58:36 mail dovecot: auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child 19387 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) Nov 18 14:58:36 mail dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 8 secs # doveconf -n # 2.2.15: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p12 amd64 ufs auth_cache_size = 256 M auth_failure_delay = 3 secs auth_username_format = %n auth_verbose = yes auth_winbind_helper_path = /usr/local/bin/ntlm_auth base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir passdb { args = dovecot driver = pam } protocols = imap service anvil { client_limit = 2051 } service auth { client_limit = 3000 } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } process_limit = 1000 process_min_avail = 5 service_count = 1 vsz_limit = 64 M } service imap { process_limit = 2048 vsz_limit = 256 M } ssl = no userdb { args = service=winbind driver = nss } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 20 } # gdb /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/auth /home/tabolin/auth.core GNU gdb 6.1.1 [FreeBSD] Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

custom ssh port doveadm sync
by dvm＠rdyn.net 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hi all, First sorry i really couldn't find it back been searching everywhere even the docs and its bit confusing. I am using # doveadm -D sync -u *(a)mydomain.net remote:myserver.net # which works perfect however for security reasons we now need to change the sshd port on the remote server. How do i tell doveadm to use a custom SSH port (would love to continue to use just the ssh connection), if anyone could explain that would be great, because all i found is custom tcp or tcp ssl which is not what we want to use, as i wish to stick with custom ssh port. Regards, r. -- This email was Virus checked by UTM 9. http://www.astaro.org

Different SSL certificates per IP and protocol
by tree 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hi Dovecot Users and Developers, I am hosting the server with multiple domains. I have setup the dovecot with the instructions from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration Each domain has it's own ip address. However, when I connect via Thunderbird or any other mail clients, the client is ONLY picking up the top-level "default" ssl_key and ssl_cert and the certificat in /etc/ssl/dovecot.pem Is this a bug? This is on Debian Wheezy. Any help pointing in the right direction would be appreciated thanks. Here is the ssl section: ----------- ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot.pem local 192.0.2.10 { # instead of IP you can also use hostname, which will be resolved protocol imap { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/imap-01.example.com.cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot/imap-01.example.com.key.pem } protocol pop3 { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/pop-01.example.com.cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot/pop-01.example.com.key.pem } } local 192.0.2.20 { protocol imap { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/imap-02.example.com.cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot/imap-02.example.com.key.pem } protocol pop3 { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/pop-02.example.com.cert.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot/pop-02.example.com.key.pem } } -----------------------

Mail sync at filesystem level
by Cédric Jeanneret 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hello, I'm currently building a mail infra using some decentralized filesystem for the storage. As I'm wanting to get multiple "entry-points" (servers running dovecot + postfix + other mail-related stuff), all of them sharing the same storage (most probably xtreemfs), how will dovecot cope in this case? As I see things: server1 gets a mail for User1; it pushes it to the xtreemfs directory. server2 shares the same xtreemfs directory, thus it can access the same mail listing User1 connects to server2: will he see the new mail? Will dovecot on server2 know about it? Thanks! Cheers, C.

Understanding why Dovecot unexpectedly died
by Luca Bertoncello 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hi list! I use Dovecot 1.2.17 (I can't upgrade right now, due to many reasons), controlled by Pacemaker (I have an HA-Cluster). Now I see that Pacemaker restarts often Dovecot. I wrote my own script to manage Dovecot, since Pacemaker does not have his own. My script, by the "monitor" section has this: monitor) if [ ! -e $OCF_RESKEY_pid ]; then echo "stopped (no pidfile)" echo "DOVECOT STOPPED - NO PIDFILE" | /usr/bin/logger -p local0.info -t DOVECOT-MONITOR -i exit $OCF_NOT_RUNNING else /bin/ps axuwf | /bin/grep `/bin/cat $OCF_RESKEY_pid` | /bin/grep -v grep > /dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "stopped" echo "DOVECOT STOPPED - NO PROCESS" | /usr/bin/logger -p local0.info -t DOVECOT-MONITOR -i exit $OCF_NOT_RUNNING else if [ "`/bin/netstat -tupan | /bin/grep dovecot | /bin/grep $OCF_RESKEY_bindaddr | /usr/bin/wc -l`" -ne 0 ]; then exit $OCF_SUCCESS else echo "DOVECOT STOPPED - NO LISTEN [`/bin/netstat -tupan | /bin/grep dovecot`]" | /usr/bin/logger -p local0.info -t DOVECOT-MONITOR -i exit $OCF_ERR_GENERIC fi fi fi exit $OCF_SUCCESS ;; The "loggers" was added now to try to understand why it dies... Well, I can see in my syslog, when Pacemaker restarts Dovecot, these lines: ov 15 18:59:09 mail01 DOVECOT-MONITOR[530]: DOVECOT STOPPED - NO LISTEN [tcp 0 0 192.168.33.1:37545 192.168.33.3:3306 ESTABLISHED 637/dovecot-auth Nov 15 18:59:09 mail01 DOVECOT-MONITOR[530]: tcp 0 0 192.168.33.1:37537 192.168.33.3:3306 ESTABLISHED 529/dovecot-auth] So, there is no "dovecot"-Process listening anymore... Normally I have these: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 634/dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 634/dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:993 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 634/dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:995 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 634/dovecot tcp 0 0 192.168.33.1:40994 192.168.33.3:3306 VERBUNDEN 891/dovecot-auth tcp 0 0 192.168.33.1:40984 192.168.33.3:3306 VERBUNDEN 638/dovecot-auth tcp6 0 0 :::110 :::* LISTEN 634/dovecot tcp6 0 0 :::143 :::* LISTEN 634/dovecot tcp6 0 0 :::993 :::* LISTEN 634/dovecot tcp6 0 0 :::995 :::* LISTEN 634/dovecot In the mail.log and mail.err I can't see anything but: Nov 15 18:59:13 mail01 dovecot: Dovecot v1.2.17 starting up Nov 15 18:59:13 mail01 dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to 192.168.33.3 (exim) And in the syslos there is nothing about Dovecot... Any idea? Thanks a lot! Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

LMTPS : TLS over LMTP not working
by Stanislas SABATIER 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hello, I tried to activate SSL on LMTP service, to secure connections between Postfix and Dovecot on my LAN, but Dovecot is not negociating a TLS session with Postfix. If I enforce TLS for LMTP at Postfix's side, communication between Postfix and Dovecot is not working. I put ssl = yes ssl_cert = </dovecot/ssl/ssl-LMTP.pem ssl_key = </dovecot/ssl/ssl-LMTP.key in section protocol LMTP within 20-lmtp.conf and service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { name = dovecot_lmtp address = xx.xx.xx.xx port = 26 ssl = yes } process_min_avail = 5 } within 10-master.conf Did I miss something ? Thank you for your help. Regards, Stan

inbox parameter is ignored within location config for public namespaces?
by Dieter Knopf 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hello, i already asked a similiar question some month ago but still have no fix for my problem :-( This is my global location option in 10-mail.conf: mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/MAILDIR:INBOX=/home/vmail/%d/%n/MAILDIR/.INBOX:INDEX=/home/vmail/%d/%n/INDEX/ This works fine, until i'm using a public namespace. The following namespace is a normal user too, every mail to bos(a)foo.eu is stored in /home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/MAILDIR (within the INBOX-folder) and this directory is used for the location of the namespace. Config: namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = BOS/ location = maildir:/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/MAILDIR:INBOX=/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/MAILDIR/.INBOX:INDEX=/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/S_INDEX:INDEXPVT=/home/vmail/foo.eu/bos/S_INDEXPVT/%u subscriptions = yes } The namespace itself works fine and without a problem, but the INBOX folder is the main problem. Mail users agents like Thunderbird now shows a folder structure like: BOS (grey, not useable) - INBOX (the .INBOX folder) - Other folder 1 - Other folder 2 - Other folder 3 The INBOX-config works fine for every single user, but it don't work on namespaces? Is this a bug? Thanks Dieter

A6 Yes, but be aware of the following point. A file descriptor is a reference to an open file description (see open(2)). Whenever a descriptor is duplicated via dup(2), dup2(2), fcntl(2) F_DUPFD, or fork(2), a new file descriptor referring to the same open file description is created. An open file description continues to exist until all file descriptors referring to it have been closed. A file descriptor is removed from an epoll set only after all the file descriptors referring to the underlying open file description have been closed (or before if the descriptor is explicitly removed using epoll_ctl() EPOLL_CTL_DEL). This means that even after a file descriptor that is part of an epoll set has been closed, events may be reported for that file descriptor if other file descriptors referring to the same under‐ lying file description remain open. So the close(11) should be enough to remove the fd 11 from epoll(10) - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBVGNvlHz1H7kL/d9rAQKYcAf/dJKQGFqi8wZBwG1GevEc+DYJeZYGSUxB YOtMV+szUrVyl+vD0GZNyXKotO6/xn0gipeV1tLTZ1xIg7NIsVcJ2/DC1WENenrE YePmuuX/TQNpj7nOcQiATFtOtenqV9itwm5zrhTN1vzjyVbEnPwhVjsaOAnaUk9u HN/BdxTazDd7QTEQmJNMKJBFyg/Im0ktJpo/eAKuysv/mcZ9HOorTQhtocK7Goro YqOWacuEZVA0TUtD1hqDn9OfvEymp0oPoM8gEYON7lK4OQ9d6+hWMpkH5BG5x+7Z ZPmq9xUJW17tcbe2imKkXw+RBRNofgf5GyhMwNVoLhbOKa29tYWqXw== =yIiy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Optional mail attribute in ldap
by Alexandros Soumplis 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

Hello, I am using an ldap database (active directory) for dovecot authentication and I am trying to change the mail location for some users only, thus any mail should be delivered to the default location unless the ldap query returns a successful result which defines the mail variable. I have chosen the AD atttribute "otherMailbox" and added for the required user the value "=mail=mdbox:/newmailboxes/%Lu/". It seems not to work and mails still get delivered to the default location. Any suggestions ? a.

Understanding filesystem quotas
by Chris Szilagyi 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hello: I've been trying to set up filesystem quotas for IMAP, and cannot seem to get it to work. In IMAP clients it either shows quota unavailable or unknown. I've read the documentation several times. I've enabled the quota plugins and to my knowledge that part is good. I've edited the file 90-quota.conf and uncommented these lines and set them as follows: plugin { quota_rule = *:storage=1G } plugin { quota = fs:User quota:user } To my knowledge, this should enable filesystem quotas by user. However when I run "doveadm quota get -u username", it shows: Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 0 - 0 So basically all zeros. I've also tried running "doveadm -Dv quota get -u username" and don't see anything that stands out or that would indicate an issue. It shows the correct block device and such. I know filesystem quotas are working as I can run "quota username" and it shows the usage. The reason I picked filesystem quotas is because we have /var/spool/mail/username (spool file), and /home/username/mail on the same partition, and because it sounds like it's fast and doesn't require disk I/O. But I'm trying to also figure out by setting the "storage=" command in Dovecot, do I even need to set a hard and soft limit on the filesystem quota then? I would prefer to let Dovecot enforce quotas rather than rely on the filesystem quota mechanism, but keep disk I/O down. Any help would be greatly appreciated on this. Thank you. -- Chris

Using dovecot-lda with sendmail
by Chris Szilagyi 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hello: I'm trying to get dovecot-lda to work with sendmail on a CentOS 7 server. I've tried following the instructions at the wiki, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail, by adding the lines to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, recompiling to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and restarting sendmail -- the process for any sendmail config change. However it is still not working and in the maillog, it shows: sendmail[31949]: sAEM4GTt031742: to=<user@localhost>, ctladdr=<test@localhost> (1000/1000), delay=00:08:31, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=210942, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: local mailer (/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL I verified that SELinux is not interfering in this case. I see talk of having sendmail run /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda as other users, but I see that the file on my system is uid/gid as: root/root. Is there a way to get this working? Thanks much! -- Chris

Evolution clientware and Dovecot
by The Doctor 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

Got a customer using Evolution 2.12.3 and was using SSL and could not retrieve e-mail in the last week. Got the custome to turn off SSL and he was able to retrieve e-mail. Recently I compiled SSL so that any comprimise was removed and then all apps using SSL including dovecot was recompiled. Could this be an app/Evolution issue? -- Member - Liberal International This is doctor@@nl2k.ab.ca Ici doctor@@nl2k.ab.ca God,Queen and country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising! http://www.fullyfollow.me/rootnl2k Look at Psalms 14 and 53 on Atheism Lest we forget 2014

Dovecot wiki LMTP description
by Ron Leach 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

List, we are planning a new configuration to which we'll migrate an existing installation shortly. We are hoping to use Dovecot LMTP and have a query about the wiki entry for LMTP http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LMTP where it suggests this config: service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 192.168.0.24 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 24 } Does this example mean that LMTP will only listen for input messages from the interface with IP address 192.168.0.24 (plus localhost)? If so, I probably haven't understood how LMTP is intended to work. Is there a reason why we want to limit LMTP to listening for messages from a specific IP on the network? I need to understand that so that I replace ...24 with a suitable host interface that exists on our LAN (we don't have a host at 192.168.0.24). Apologies for what must seem, to people using LMTP, a very basic question. Nevertheless, I would be grateful for any clarification. regards, Ron

Dovecot Cur and New Directories are empty
by Nguyen Dinh Phuoc Thanh 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

Hi, Recently, we faced an issue with dovecot.

automatically create Spam mailbox
by Cliff Hayes 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

I am trying to set up dovecot to automatically create a Spam mailbox for every user. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings shows how to do this but not what config file to put it in so I assume 10-mail.conf. When I put it in there as follows... namespace inbox { mailbox Spam { auto = create special_use = \Junk } } ... I get the following error ... doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf line 107: Unknown setting: mailbox How do I create the mailbox?

Core Dump upon startup (SEGV) - v2.2.10

In my recent messages I mentioned how I was having difficuilty in making my wife's email readable in Squirrelmail; this was solved with directory permissions. However, my usual email client is Thunderbird; I was holding off on using that as there appeared to be authentication issues. Today was my opportunity to start debugging those; it occurred to me that I might have issues with PKI and tried to make/install working certificates. When this didn't work, I though to just scrub the installation and start over. On my CentOS 7 system I erased and reinstalled from RPM. With what should have been working certificates, I ran through the config files, and then restarted to the following error: [root@dungeon dovecot]# systemctl -l status dovecot.service dovecot.service - Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dovecot.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: core-dump) since Thu 2014-11-13 19:05:52 EST; 30min ago Process: 23700 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/dovecot -F (code=dumped, signal=SEGV) Process: 23695 ExecStartPre=/usr/libexec/dovecot/prestartscript (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 23700 (code=dumped, signal=SEGV) Nov 13 19:05:52 dungeon.the-leveys.us systemd[1]: Started Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server.

Migrate system users to virtual users
by Ron Leach 13 Nov '14

13 Nov '14

List, good afternoon, We are at the planning stage of wanting to migrate from an existing installation onto a new machine, and also to change from system users to virtual users. May I check that our ideas for user id are correct? I am not sure whether we will encounter a 'permissions' and 'user id' problem when moving from a system-user scheme to a virtual scheme. We use Maildir, and the maildirs at the moment are in their users' linux /home directories. After reading the wiki, we think that the 'single system user for vmail' arrangement, ie just one system user to manage all the mail for all virtual users, will work for us. I think that means that the permissions on all our existing 'system-user-oriented' maildirs will have to be changed (in the new machine) so that they are owned by the 'single-system-user', such as 'vmail'. One thought was to first copy the existing maildirs into the new virtual user file system tree, and then, second, change the owners and permissions on the maildirs and directories and messages to permit control by 'vmail'. From the point of view of transferring all the mail files, is that all we would have to do? (Of course, we would also have to create the virtual users and their passwords, and arrange the appropriate password lookups etc, but that's not the direct topic of this post. And that arrangement has to be compatible with the MTA, as well.) If we do copy the maildirs and change the permissions, does all the metadata that the clients, or Dovecot, use to detect new, existing, or downloaded mail remain valid? Or should we use a different approach? Grateful for any comment regards, Ron

Bug (?) while listing imap folder

Dear All, I think I've hit a bug after migrating our mail server to the newest version of dovecot (version 2.2.15). When I try to list all imap folders for one user the imap process crashes. The listing to a specific folder (ex. INBOX) works fine, only the "*" crashes. Client side: --------------------- [root@mb log]# telnet 127.0.0.1 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1.
