postfix-dovecot Auth USER lookup failed
by Timothy Murphy 10 Aug '14

I'm running postfix + dovecot on my CentOS-7 home server. When I send myself a message I get this error message in /var/log/maillog: Aug 9 12:59:57 alfred postfix/lmtp[31336]: B0D02220748: to=<tim(a)localhost.gayleard.eu>, orig_to=<tim@localhost>, relay=alfred.gayleard.eu[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=475, delays=474/0.03/0.02/0.09, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (host alfred.gayleard.eu[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.3.0 <tim(a)localhost.gayleard.eu> Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.

Dovecot v2.2 FTS is not indexing "text/html" emails...
by Akash 09 Aug '14

09 Aug '14

Hi, I am not sure its intended or a fault in the newest Dovecot versions. I have been using Dovecot v1.2.15 on Debian squeeze and FTS is working as expected. When I search a quoted string "very good", I get 107 results including plain and HTML emails which have this phrase. In order to compare the benefits of lucene over squat, I recently started testing dovecot v2.2.13 on Debian Sid with the same maildir content. But now the same search "very good" yielded just 8 results. I thought it could be some problem with lucene so I tried switching to squat and got 107 results again. After this I deleted the old squat search index files created by v1.2.15 and re-indexed the mail-box by using doveadm index command. Now the same squat search is giving 8 results just as lucene. So I have realized that its not a problem with just lucene but FTS in newer dovecot isn't indexing those emails which have Content-type as text/html. Thus if a mail is like this: Content-Type: text/html <b>He is very good.</b> It isn't shown in search by the squat indexes created using dovecot v2.2.13. I have done further testing on some sample emails which confirmed this behavior. Why is this so? -Regards, Akash

Throttling pop3-login connections
by Alex 09 Aug '14

09 Aug '14

Hi, I have a fedora20 system with dovecot-2.2.13 running various services, including pop3. I'm noticing some users are frequently hamming pop3, and wondered if this was normal, or something I should be investigating? Aug 8 14:05:20 email dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<user1>, method=PLAIN, rip=97.77.115.121, lip=192.168.1.1, mpid=30509, session=<DnRtDCIAUQBhTXN5> Aug 8 14:05:21 email dovecot: pop3(user1): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/15, size=5693601 So it is immediately followed by a logout, but when there are 50 of them successively in a five minute period, I wondered if it is creating unnecessary overhead on the system? I suppose this most likely is how they have their email client configured, but wondered if some throttling would be necessary? Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks, Alex

postfix-dovecot via lmtp
by Timothy Murphy 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

I've been trying for some days to get postfix + dovecot + pigeonhole/sieve working on a CentOS-7 home server. I think I may have detected the problem; I read in /var/log/maillog Aug 4 11:29:13 alfred postfix/lmtp[14871]: 9C04C220A99: to=<tim(a)localhost.gayleard.eu>, orig_to=<tim@localhost>, relay=alfred.gayleard.eu[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=971, delays=971/0.03/0.02/0.1, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (host alfred.gayleard.eu[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.3.0 <tim(a)localhost.gayleard.eu> Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. (in reply to RCPT TO command)) (I've split one long line here.) 1) I see that the permissions on /var/spool/postfix/private/ are [tim@alfred ~]$ ls -ls /var/spool/postfix/ 4 drwx------. 2 postfix root 4096 Aug 4 11:30 private The socket dovecot-lmtp setup by postfix is in this directory; does dovecot need permission to access this? 2) I see that this mail (a test email from me) was deferred. What exactly does this mean? Where is the mail stored? I couldn't find it anywhere. (It has already been brought to the server by fetchmail.) 3) Am I right in thinking that there are 2 alternatives to dovecot/sieve a) amavisd-new with postfix + spamassassin b) postfix + procmail ? 4) I remember seeing a posting (probably not in this mailing list) describing how one can trace the progress of email through the server. Unfortunately I didn't note the URL, and now cannot find it. Does anyone have a pointer to such a document? As will probably be obvious, I am not at all clear how postfix and dovecot fit together if one introduces lmtp. I take it that without lmtp (or similar) postfix just delivers email to ~/Maildir/cur (in my case), and dovecot is not involved at all until a client (KMail in my case) looks at email? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Dovecot, Thunderbird and messages in wrong folder
by Gerhard Wiesinger 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

Hello, Sometimes it happens that messages (e.g. one or two) appear in wrong folders in Thunderbird (latest version, also past versions, different computers, also Earlybird). When I repair the folder (folder/Settings/Repair Folder) in Thunderbird, the folder is correct then. It happens on my new server with Fedora 20, Dovecot 2.2.13 and Maildir but it also happened on my old server with Fedora 1, Dovecot 2.2.13 and mbox. Has anyone the same issue? Any guess whether it might be a thunderbird or dovecot issue? Anyone has the same issues with thunderbird and a different IMAP server (e.g. cyrus)? Thank you.

invalid/unknown path to storage
by Benjamin Connelly 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

Am I correct: pigeonhole now wants the symlink to the filter file to use an absolute path instead of the relative paths we had? i.e.) sieve-filterfile@ -> /home/mail/domain/user(a)domain/roundcube.sieve instead of sieve-filterfile@ -> roundcube.sieve Dovecot logs these: dovecot: managesieve(user(a)domain.org): Warning: sieve-storage: Active sieve script symlink /home/mail/domain.org/user(a)domain.org/sieve-filterfile is broken: invalid/unknown path to storage (points to roundcube.sieve). and the debug log: Jul 29 15:37:59 managesieve(user(a)domain.org): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.4.3 initializing Jul 29 15:37:59 managesieve(user(a)domain.org): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global_dir is not set; it is currently not possible to include `:global' scripts. Jul 29 15:37:59 managesieve(user(a)domain.org): Debug: sieve-storage: using active sieve script path: /home/mail/domain.org/user(a)domain.org/sieve-filterfile Jul 29 15:37:59 managesieve(user(a)domain.org): Debug: sieve-storage: using sieve script storage directory: /home/mail/domain.org/user(a)domain.org/ Jul 29 15:37:59 managesieve(user(a)domain.org): Debug: sieve-storage: using permissions from /home/mail/domain.org/user(a)domain.org/: mode=0700 gid=-1 Jul 29 15:37:59 managesieve(user(a)domain.org): Debug: sieve-storage: relative path to sieve storage in active link: I found if I manually delete a symlink and replace it using the full path: sieve-filterfile -> /home/mail/domain.org/user(a)domain.org/roundcube.sieve then everybody is happy. So I'm looking to make a configuration change (and then change all existing symlinks.) I just wanted to check with the list about the two settings we return as part of the user_query: concat(homedir, maildir, 'sieve-filterfile') as sieve, concat(homedir,maildir) as sieve_dir In testing it seems like changing 'sieve' to return not the whole path but just the link name, actuall causes pigeonhole to properly make the symlink with full path! Does this seem right? FreeBSD (8.4) dovecot-pigeonhole (0.4.3_1) dovecot2 (2.2.13_3) Benjamin

Thu, 7 Aug 2014 06:22:01 -0400 I am running Pigeonhole version 0.4.3 on a FreeBSD 10 machine. How do I actually trace which rule in my sieve file is causing a specific action on a specific email. Other then eliminating each rule one by one and rerunning the script to isolate it, how can I discover what rule is causing the problem? Thanks! -- Jerry

Is atomic MOVING of messages between IMAP folders possible?
by Greg Sullivan 07 Aug '14

07 Aug '14

I would like to use a shared IMAP account, with multiple users accessing it simultaneously. The users would take ownership of messages by first attempting to MOVE the messages from the Inbox, into their private IMAP folder, still within the same account. Now, since there will be multiple users competing for the same messages, I naturally want only ONE of the simultaneous moves to be successful at a time. So far, this isn't working. If I do the move from two clients, simultaneously, the messages can go to *both *destination folders - duplicates can result. Is it possible to configure Dovecot and/or an IMAP client to behave the way I want it to? If the answer to this is YES, then I'll offer my config details. If the answer is NO, the next question is - do any email systems at all behave the way I want? (I tried a hosted Exchange/OWA service - it has the same problem) Thanks & regards, Greg.

Panic on alway_bcc mail with attachment while using sdbox

I do always get a panic on service lmtp, while receiving a mail by postfix through always_bcc, containing an attachment.

Important emails
by André Rodier 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

Hi, Sorry if I am not posting on the right mailing list, but I need email and especially IMAP experts opinion. I have developed a small perl script for Amavis that tries to recognise business emails from bulk & mailing lists, in order to promote 'important' emails, ala google. This is a feature I found very useful in corporate environments, where a lot of users are receiving advertisements, but not consider it as spam. (For info, the code is here: https://github.com/arodier/emclass) My script add an email header (X-Email-Type), and dovecot uses a virtual folder called 'Important' to present them. I know there is IMAP labels, and they are server side stored. I have successfully played with Thunderbird, but IMHO, it's not very reliable. The name of the label is the responsibility of the email client. As a result, if one client decided that $Label1 is 'Important', and $Label2 is 'Business', other clients should be configured exactly the same. I wonder if there is some norm - or convention - to attach labels to email headers, or if such a header exists, for instance a header called e.g. 'X-Tags', 'X-Keywords' or 'X-Labels'. So, once stored, an email could contains - for instance - a header like this: X-Tags: Travel,Advertisement,France. Then, it would be easy to have server side search for labels. Thanks for your feedback. Kind regards, André.

maildir: could lda/lmtp log filenames?

hello, on a mailstorage server receiving messages per lda/lmtp I like to pimp my logfile. when starting to search for a specific message I have a queueid. I like to combine that id with the filename the message has after delivery to a maildir. I know, that will not work with other formats then maildir.

Any ideas? Andreas

I have changed in 10-mail.conf the format from maildir to mdbox, and I have executed this command for all my users: dsync -u user(a)domain.org mirror maildir:/mnt/vmail/domain/user The only output of the command has been, for some users, this: dsync(user(a)domain.org): Warning: quota: Namespace '' is not Maildir, skipping for Maildir++ quota Is this important? How can I check that I am effectively using the new format? Thank you, Felix

Migrating from maildir to mdbox
by Felix Rubio Dalmau 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi everybody, I have a virtual user setup that is using maildir, and I'd like to migrate it to mdbox. Following directions from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat and keeping in mind that my maildir is in maildir:/mnt/vmail/%d/%u, after having updated 10-mail.conf I have tried to execute: dsync -u "user(a)domain.org" mirror maildir:/mnt/vmail/domain.org/user But it replies this answer, that I do not understand: dsync(user(a)domain.org): Error: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) What am I doing wrong? Thank you, Felix

dovecot-lda 2.2.13 crashing when sieve_before used
by Christoph Lechleitner 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi together! We use dovecot under Debian wheezy amd64, using the repository ... deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-2.2 main Yesterday's routine upgrade to version 2:2.2.13-1~auto+130 (or some other upgrade that came along from Debian?) introduced a problem with mail delivery, which I was able to track down to a crash of dovecot-lda. Whenever I do something like ... /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d christoph.lechleitner(a)iteg.at <test.msg ... (with test.msg containing a raw e-mail message), dovecot-lda crashes. The gdb backtrace is: #0 buffer_free (_buf=_buf@entry=0x242eb20) at buffer.c:145 #1 0x00007f30d47ea4fd in array_free_i (array=0x242eb20) at /build/dovecot-8Ko2hw/dovecot-2.2.13/src/lib/array.h:108 #2 sieve_file_script_sequence_destroy (seq=0x242eb10) at sieve-file-script-sequence.c:242 #3 0x00007f30d47c963e in sieve_script_sequence_free (_seq=_seq@entry=0x7fffe2dbe900) at sieve-script.c:686 #4 0x00007f30d4a3d4b3 in lda_sieve_multiscript_get_scripts (svinst=svinst@entry=0x242abe0, label=label@entry=0x7f30d4a3e7c0 "sieve_before", location=location@entry=0x2416500 "/etc/dovecot/sieve/discard-viruses.sieve", scripts=scripts@entry=0x7fffe2dbe9b0, error_r=error_r@entry=0x7fffe2dbe998) at lda-sieve-plugin.c:271 #5 0x00007f30d4a3d7e5 in lda_sieve_find_scripts (srctx=0x7fffe2dbea40) at lda-sieve-plugin.c:740 #6 lda_sieve_deliver_mail (mdctx=<optimized out>, storage_r=0x7fffe2dbec00) at lda-sieve-plugin.c:973 #7 0x00007f30d5e05464 in mail_deliver (ctx=ctx@entry=0x7fffe2dbec70, storage_r=storage_r@entry=0x7fffe2dbec00) at mail-deliver.c:400 #8 0x0000000000402a92 in main (argc=3, argv=0x2402390) at main.c:437 The problem vanishes once I remove the sieve_before script, in our case /etc/dovecot/sieve/discard-viruses.sieve The sieve script does not contain anything fancy, and it works perfectly when used as sieve_default. It seems the mere presence of a sieve_before script triggers the problem. Some environment info: As of dovecot -n, I guess only the sieve related parts are relevant, if at all: plugin { sieve = /var/vmail/%d/%n/sieve sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve/discard-viruses.sieve sieve_default = /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_dir = /var/vmail/%d/%n/sieve-scripts } I also tried version 2:2.2.13-1~auto+138 from the dovecot-2.2.patched repository that I stumbled over while browsing the repository server. No difference regarding our problem. Our filesystem is ext4 disguised as simfs by the OpenVZ virtualization kernel. I'm pretty sure the filesystem does not matter with our problem. I'd be happy to re-test with testing releases, but I'd like to avoid setting up a full-blown test environment where unstable and bleeding edge versions would be ok.

Set an archive folder for every user
by Felix Rubio Dalmau 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hi everybody, I have a running postfix+dovecot installation, running flawlessly. The machine this setup is running onto has 2 mirrored SSD disks (in which dovecot stores the mails) and 2 mirrored regular HD. I'd like to keep the fresh emails in the SSD, and move them to an Archive folder after some days/weeks. Is there any way in dovecot to set up a folder for every user, that points to an external disk rather than the default one? Thank you, Felix

prefix behavior with Dovecot / Squirrelmail
by Will Yardley 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Old: Dovecot 1.1.18 + Squirrelmail 1.4.8 + Imapproxy New: Dovecot 2.2.10 + Squirrelmail 1.4.22 (no Imapproxy) In both, we have: [dovecot config] namespace private { separator = . prefix = Mail. inbox = yes } (The 'Mail' prefix is set this way for compatibility reasons) $imap_server_type = 'dovecot'; $default_folder_prefix = 'Mail.'; $trash_folder = 'Mail.Trash'; $sent_folder = 'Mail.Sent'; $draft_folder = 'Mail.Drafts'; $show_contain_subfolders_option = true; $default_sub_of_inbox = false; (I know some of these are redundant with $imap_server_type, but that's how it's setup now). This works as we expect with the old setup - folders are set in, e.g., $maildir/.Sent, and we only see one set of each. With the newer one, it auto-creates folders as Mail.{Trash,Sent,Drafts}, which translates into Mail.Mail.{Trash,Sent,Drafts}. If I set $foo_folder to just 'Foo' (e.g., $trash_folder = 'Trash';), the auto-creation works as expected, however, now I have two sets of folders (one indented) in the folder list, and the set linking to Mail.{Trash,Sent,Drafts} (the indented ones), don't work. What's the easiest way to get the new setup working in a way that will cause the least change (preferably no change) to end-users. TIA w

Solr indexing appends domain to users
by G H 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

My users are set up as "admin", "john", etc -- as opposed to john(a)example.com. When I run test command "/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d admin < /tmp/mymail.txt", the mail is successfully imported with Solr, Tika (yay). However, results are never found when I search within IMAP. Why? Dovecot is appending the domain name to the user and admin fields of the Solr record ("admin(a)example.com" instead of just "admin") during index. But during searching, Dovecot is only searching for the user directly, from the Solr logs: q=body:"TESTCONTENT"&fq=%2Bbox:7dff0b0d4f84df53f25300003d823887+%2Buser:"admin" If I rerun the query via the Solr web gui with user:"admin(a)example.com", the message is found. How do I disable appending the domain name to the solr index names? Thanks, G H
