[Dovecot] checkpassword memory limit
by a 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hi. I am trying to authenticate dovecot from a wordpress database. I was thinking of using the checkpassword script to start a cli php script. That php script would then include the necessary wordpress functions, do the auth (find the wp username from user database using the email address, and authenticate with the user/pass), and return the result to the checkpassword script. I made the above scripts (the php script will be used to authenticate some other services too), and when I run them "by hand" (even with "sudo -u dovecot ..."), it works. But, when the dovecot runs them, the php runs out of memory. After a lot of debuging, I find out that when the dovecot starts the checkpassword script, it makes a 250kB memory limit. But it is not enough for the php script, it needs 14MB. I tried to put a "ulimit -v 16777216" into the checkpassword.sh, but it doesn't work.Is there some hardcoded limit in the dovecot itself? And if there is, could it be somehow changed?I am using a simple D ebian Wheezy LAMP, and installed everything from repo. Thanks for every idea.

[Dovecot] Authentication Failure (newbie)
by Danny Gorton 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Greetings, I'm am learning about running a mail server and I set up a brand new Ubuntu 14.04 server with postfix and dovecot. I had some initial problems with dovecot not starting, and then with not having proper permissions/access to the various directories and files and pipes, etc, and in the process starting to learn how this thing works. After searching in web-land I seem to have overcome those issues and dovecot and postfix both start and accept connections now (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/TestPop3Installation) However when I check to see if I can authenticate I get Authentication Failed. At the time of these login attempts there are no messages added to syslog or mail.log, dovecot log entries are below. Note I redacted my test user and password values to 'xxxxx', and my domain value to 'domain.com'. Also I'm testing with my plain text password, but I've tried using AUTH PLAIN <base64 encoded uid/pwd>. I have also tried the setup with a default auth domain, and I've tried authenticating with and without the domain name as part of the user name, with the same results. I added the debug settings and disable_plaintext_auth = no to try to solve this issue. Here is my test command set: xxxxx@apacweb:~$ sudo doveadm user xxxxx field valueuserdb lookup: user xxxxx doesn't exist and : xxxxx@apacweb:~$ telnet localhost 110 Trying ::1... Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot (Ubuntu) ready. user xxxxx +OK pass xxxxx -ERR [AUTH] Authentication failed. Here is a cut from the dovecot log: 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Error: passwd-file(xxxxx): stat(uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail//xxxxx /etc/dovecot/users) failed: Address family not supported by protocol I figure this is the root cause of this issue and the solution to it is supposedly to tell dovecot to not listen on IPv6 (listen = *), but I did that and it didn't help (see config). Here is a cut from the dovecot.info log: 2014-06-08 00:16:25 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=3131) 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot//auth-token-secret.dat 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Debug: passwd-file /etc/dovecot/passwd: Read 1 users in 0 secs 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Debug: master in: USER 1 xxxxx service=doveadm 2014-06-08 01:22:10 auth: Debug: userdb out: NOTFOUND 1 Here is my dovecot config: # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.info listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-client { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = postfix mode = 0777 user = postfix } user = vmail } service imap-login { chroot = login executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login user = dovecot } service imap { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap } service pop3-login { chroot = login executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login inet_listener pop3 { address = * port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { address = * port = 995 } user = dovecot } service pop3 { executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/smtpd.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/smtpd.key userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%d/%n /etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } valid_chroot_dirs = /var/spool/vmail protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } I'm sure I've done something stupid, but after thrashing about for some days I haven't been able to figure out what it is.

[Dovecot] Running dovecot under Cygwin
by Manolis Spanakis 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hi, In http://wiki2.dovecot.org/DovecotFeatures I found the following statement regarding devcot support of cygwin: Cygwin works after a few code changes, but doesn't support SCM_RIGHTS I downloaded "dovecot-2.2.13.tar.gr" and tried to compile it under cygwin version 1.7.30 (0.272/5/3) CYGWIN_NT-6.3-WOW642.580 (32-bit). As I executed the: $./configure I got the following error: error: fd passing is required for Dovecot to work If I bypass this error by changing "configure" I get no other errors either in "configure" or "make". It seems that "src/lib/fdpass.c" is the only library incompatible with cygwin. Is there any file version available that provides a solution? Thank you in advance, Manolis Spanakis

[Dovecot] CRAM-MD5 authentication memory leak problem.
by Kenji Tonami 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

I used dovecot Auth daemon for postfix SMTP Auth. I saved clear password to OpenLDAP, then I set up that as the password will be used. There ware no trouble when authentication had sucessed. But when authentication failed by using "CRAM-MD5", it caused increasing memory allocation of dovecot auth daemon. In case of using "PLAIN" or "LOGIN", there were no problem even if authentication had failed. I got same result on dovecot-2.0.9(RHEL6) and dovecot-2.2.13. Does anyone know similar case? I tried restarting dovecot Auth daemon by using service_count parameter in service auth settings. When authentication failed, message on postfix was as follows: ** 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: "CRAM-MD5 string" When authentication failed and restarting dovecot auth daemon at the same time, message on postfix was changed as follows: ** 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server It looks like that the failed authentication request is suspended by restarting auth daemon. -- config (10-auth.conf) auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 -- -- config (10-master.conf) service auth { executable = auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix group = postfix } } -- -- auth-ldap.conf.ext passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/ldap-passdb.conf.ext } -- -- ldap-passdb.conf.ext host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dn = LDAP Manager DN dnpass = Manager DN password base = ou=mail,dc=xxxxxx,dc=xx scope = subtree pass_attrs = mailID=user,mailClearPassword=password pass_filter = (mailID=%u) auth_bind = no default_pass_scheme = plain -- Thanks. -- Kenji Tonami

It turned out to be a TCP scaling problem. If a router/firewall drops packets with a TCP scaling option set, the endpoints disagree on how many outstanding non-ACK packets are allowed, resulting in timeouts. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935400 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_window_scale_option The Microsoft KB does hint those versions of Outlook may be affected, but I can't figure out why there would be a difference between Dovecot 2.1 and 2.2.

[Dovecot] Sharing folder with others
by Claudinei Santos 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hello, The sharing folders with dovecot works, but when the user that i shared the folder reads any e-mails in the folder, all my subcribed folder (the folders that i do not shared with this user) is unsubcribed from my account. The only folders that remains is the default ones ( inbox, trash, spam and sent) and the folder that i shared with that user. my configurations: # separator for master-users, example: "login_user*master_user -> user(a)domain.tld*masteruser auth_master_user_separator = * passdb passwd-file { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot-masterusers master = yes } namespace private { type = private separator = / prefix = #location defaults to mail_location. inbox = yes } namespace shared { type = shared separator = / prefix = Share Folders/%%u/ location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/vmail/%d/%%n:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/vmail/%d/%n/shared/%%u subscriptions = yes list = children } # cat /etc/dovecot-postlogin #!/bin/bash export MASTER_USER="$USER" exec /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap "$@" Can someone help me out with this?

[Dovecot] What are the options for HA and\or replication and\or storage?
by Eliezer Croitoru 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

I am considering couple options of converting a current service into a HA using multi servers or any other solutions. The point is that I am thinking about the options and which I am looking for. NFS can be a storage which has it's own pros and cons. There is the option of DRBD but as of now it's limited for two hosts. What options do exist out-there as a solution? The main issues are that the current service is based on Maildir and is on one server with resierfs. The service is composed of one host with 50k users couple disks in raid6. On the same machine we have postfix as mailer. I would like to hear about HA environment that I can use to replicate the boxes. My basic research leaded me to smtp on one host or more and using lmtp to send the messages to dovecot o another host which will have a replicated host and will be used with storage system based on ISCSI or NFS. Any other idea to enhance the current one or to replace it is more then just welcome. Thanks, Eliezer

[Dovecot] General questions about TCP replication with dsync
by Patrick De Zordo 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi Guys, I would like to question why I see this errors in my logs. Let explain me! Dovecot version: 2.2.9 (on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) Ive configured our dovecot servers (2 servers) to do the TCP replication with dsync. This is working flawless. 1. Question: In logs I can see this errors on every sync (on the slave server / server without changes which should be updated): ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- dsync-server(email(a)example.com): Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/replicator-doveadm) failed: Permission denied ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Googling a bit gave me the information This should be normal..? Well ok, errors in logs are not nice to see, but can someone confirm this is really ok? Timo? 2. Question (much more important): We are using sieve scripts for our users, they are replicated to the replica-host but this errors appears in logs on every synchronized message: ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- dsync-server(email(a)example.com): Error: Failed to access mailbox dovecot/sieve: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. dsync-server(email(a)example.com): Error: stat(/var/vmail/example.com/email/.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- So whats going on there? This is strange and should not be, right? Any hints? Thank you very much! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Distinti saluti / Kind regards De Zordo Patrick patrick(a)spamreducer.eu

[Dovecot] IMAP copy fails because the mailbox size of user1 is exceeding the quota limit of user2??
by Katja Wegner 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi all, I do have a mailbox-quota problem in dovecot 2.0.19 that is beond my understanding. Could someone pls. give me a hint. - user1 max. mailbox quota is set to 1GB, the current mailbox size of user1 is 15MB - user2 max. mailbox quota is set to 10MB, the current mailbox size of user1 is 10kB - user1 shares the folder 'shared_folder' to user2 with all rights (read, write ...) - user2 has subscribed to 'shared_folder' the problem: - user2 tries to move a mail (20kB) to the shared folder via telnet: ". copy 1:1 shared/user1/shared_folder" - it fails with: "NO [OVERQUOTA] Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)" - copying the same mail to a local folder of user2 works without problems. - After I raised the max. mailbox quota of user2 from 10MB to 16MB it was possible to move the mail to the 'shared_folder' of user1. It looks like the copy operation fails because the mailbox size of user1 is exceeding the quota limit of user2! Is this possible? Is this a bug?

[Dovecot] attachment sis + EMLINK (too many links) = segfault bug (2.2.12)
by Pavel Stano 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi, we use attachment dedup with lots of emails (still migrating to it from maildir). We use netapp storage with wafl filesystem over nfs. Problem is that netapp has hard limit of 100k hardlinks to one file. And we encountered it. Problem is that dovecot start do segfault (lmtp,dsync,pop3 etc) when it happend when tried to deliver new emails with that attachment. Here is strace of dsync: 6740 link("/nfsmnt/mailatch1/f9/10/hashes/f9108ddaa156ac15738e41ed3bedec1eda50175d", "/nfsmnt/mailatch1/f9/10/f9108ddaa156ac15738e41ed3bedec1eda50175d-7bb7a20ddb598853541a000028db4a9f") = -1 EMLINK (Too many links) 6740 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- ls -lh: -rw------- 100000 vmail vmail 4.7K Apr 28 16:54 /nfsmnt/mailatch1/f9/10/hashes/f9108ddaa156ac15738e41ed3bedec1eda50175d We were using mail_attachment_min_size=4kb, we solve it by increasing it to 8kb. It would be nice to somehow fix this problem. Like not crash when EMLINK happend and maybe do not deduplicate attachments but deliver email without dedup. Or create second file in hashes/ and start hardlinking it instead of original. AFAIK ext4 has also hard-link limit 64k (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link#Limitations_of_hard_links) So this can happen to anyone with lots of emails.

[Dovecot] Plugin mail-filter tangles
by Stanislas SABATIER 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

System installed : Dovecot 2.2.12 as IMAP server and Postfix as MTA. Dovecot and Postfix connected via LMTP + Dovecot mail plugin 'mail-filter' to encrypt/decrypt emails on the fly with public/private users' RSA keys. Case study : You have 3 (virtuals) users belonging to 3 different domains, all managed by your Dovecot server. One of these users is connected to Dovecot with MUA Thunderbird, and he's writing an email to someone outside of yours domains, but he puts the two others users' email addresses in CC : mail from user1(a)domain1.dovecot --> to: someone@outside, CC: user2(a)domain2.dovecot, user3(a)domaine3.dovecot What happens (as far as I can understand) : The email is submitted to Postfix : one copy is delivered outside, the other is passed to Dovecot via LMTP for user2 & user3 @dovecot Dovecot is handling the final delivery, through mail-filter plugin as follow : 1. both users contexts are created from user_db queries 2. mail-filter plugin is init for user2 3. /mail_user_created/ for user2 4. mai-filter plugin arguments are parsed for user2 5. â¦/mail_allocated/ then /mail_save_begin/ for user2 (at this stage, the email is encrypted with users2 params) 6. Dovecot tells to LMTP that mail for user2 is delivered 7. then, â we are still in user2 context â, an other /mail_allocated/ is run, followed by a /istream_opened/ 8. mail user context is swithed to user3 --> /mail_user_created/ --> plugin's args parsed --> â¦ /mail_allocated/ 9. andâ¦ Dovecot tells to LMTP that mail for user3 is delivered So, it appears that Dovecot is re-using user2's email to pass it to user3 by opening an istream in user2's context. In my configuration, Dovecot can't do that because it has not the user2's private rsa key to reopen the email it has just encrypted, so it passes the email to user3 with user2 encryption params. Final result : user3 is receiving the email encrypted with user2's rsa key ! Problem : how to force Dovecot to deinit then reinit mail-filter plugin for each user to be sure that each email is encrypted with the right key before it is saved to users' mailboxes ? Thank you in advance for your help. Stan.

[Dovecot] SQL passdb, LDAP userdb
by Kristof Bajnok 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi, in my current setup, LDAP authentication + userdb works fine. I'd like to integrate Dovecot with Shibboleth. I have a custom module at the IdP (*) that inserts short-time tokens to an SQL table at user authentication, and I want Dovecot to use the token table for passdb but keep LDAP for storing the userdb (uid, quota, etc) I thought it was simple as omitting the sql user_query, but I got: Warning: mysql: Query failed, retrying: Table 'webmail.users' doesn't exist Error: sql(user@domain,ipaddr): User query failed: Table 'webmail.users' doesn't exist (using built-in default user_query: SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE username = '%n' AND domain = '%d') Do you have any hints how to do this? Thanks, Kristof (*): in SAML there is an Identity Provider that does user authentication, which is separated from the services

UID 26624 is a valid user ('info' of domain14552) but under a compleltly different domain name (hamish is under domain25367). However that user has also not logged in around the time the ownership was changed. There is no relevance to the two users, except that they exist on the system and for some reason this issue happened to the hamish user. The NFS server does not know about the UIDs, it just provides the numeric IDs which is translated on the dovecot/exim servers by NSS and Dovecotr using the replicated MySQL database. Additionally both users have existed for some time and the databases are in sync. Customers also do not have any access to the file system so there will be no symlinks in place. Its also not a single server that we are seeing the issue on, it maybe one Dovecot server accessing one NFS server. Then the next time its a different Dovecot server accessing a different NFS server. >> >the logs for that time which is abnormal (a whole bunch of other logins from >> >other customers but nothing from those two users and no errors) > What about cron jobs, message delivery, backups, ... anything that > possibly can alter that file. I don't think, it's a Dovecot issue, unless > the uid 26624 is valid and hamish is shared with that user. Nothing besides Courier being replaced by Dovecot has changed in the server setup (although I could be wrong there, but we are going through one component at a time and until this issue is resolved we are not moving onto the next), and the only file which is being modified is a file which only Dovecot maintains. There are hourly backups which do an rsync to another server in case of hardware failure, there are scripts which move mailboxes between NFS servers but they show up in logs. Exim has no need to touch a dovecot controlled file, and when it writes mail into the maildir its writing as the correct user. It also seem odd that one login is fine then randomly the next login the file ownership has changed, nothing happens in between the two logins which are in some cases only 5 to 10 minutes apart. All I am really looking for is ideas on where to look, as it seems odd that nobody else is reporting this, and since its a reasonably new setup its possibly something we have done in the config (which I posted in my first email). Is there a reliable way to run a script directly when a dovecot session starts and finishes so we could output the ownership before and after which may also help eliminate the session itself. Cheers, Bruce

[Dovecot] empty emails with 2.2.13/pigeonhole
by Cor Bosman 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

I recently upgraded from 2.2.10 to 2.2.13, and also upgraded pigeonhole. Ever since im seeing some empty emails appear in my inbox. Return-Path: <cricket(a)stats2.xs4all.net> Delivered-To: <cor> Received: from imapdirector1.xs4all.net ([194.109.26.173]) by userimap9.xs4all.nl (Dovecot) with LMTP id CHu0MUDDjlOBdwAAwvsqNQ for <cor>; Wed, 04 Jun 2014 08:57:04 +0200 Thats all this mail contains. This only happens using LMTP/Sieve, and with many different senders/recipients. Debug log shows nothing out of the ordinary, except that the mail seems to be corrupted by the time it hits sieve. It's very hard to diagnose. Our path is kind of lengthy, and in theory it could happen everywhere. Mail first arrives on incoming MX server which is sendmail. From there it's sent to a dovecot director using lmtp, which sends it to a server that does final delivery with sieve. Im not sure where the email gets corrupted. Any extra debugging I could turn on? Two extra things to note. So far it seems to only happen to emails that would have hit a matching sieve filter rule. I have asked a dozen people to verify this, and all emails would have matched a filter if all was well. Instead, it gets dropped into the inbox because pigeonhole seems to be working with the corrupt file and cant match any rules anymore. And second, 99% of our email is handled differently, from the sendmail server directly into a local mailer, and that never causes issues. We're in the process of switching to lmtp. Any insights? cor

[Dovecot] /etc/passwd userdb and long usernames

hi! i've configured dovecot to lookup usernames in /etc/passwd and it's working ok but it's having some problems retrieving info when the username is longer than 32 chars (i know it isn't recommended but everything seemed to work ok except for the hardcoded limit in useradd...) i found this on logs showing extra characters on the home field: http://pastie.org/pastes/9257902/text?key=vsxstofu3rf5wum4aic5va is there a limit on username length? i "solved" it by setting auth_username_format = %0.30u -- http://partidopirata.com.ar

[Dovecot] Dovecot + NFS + FreeBSD breakage ?
by Xavier Beaudouin 04 Jun '14

Hi, I am trying to update my old mails servers from dovecot 2.1.15 to 2.2.12 (freebsd ports) and upgrade to FreeBSD 10.0-P3. My mail storage are on NFS with index also. On 2.1.15 everything is ok, and in 10-mail.conf I have the good things to be added as wiki tell me (eg http://wiki2.dovecot.org/NFS) BUT, when I try a single connection like : $ telnet ::1 110 Trying ::1...

[Dovecot] Change in LAYOUT=fs between 1.2.9 and 2.0.19?
by Martijn 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

While testing an upgrade from Dovecot 1.2.9 (on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) to 2.0.19 (12.04 LTS) I encountered the following change in behaviour: In both setups, mail_location is defined as follows: mail_location = maildir:~/domains/%d/%n/.Maildir:LAYOUT=fs No other mail_location-related settings are set in the config. On 1.2.9 this leads to new mail being delivered to this example directory: /home/username/domains/example-domain.ext/webmaster/.Maildir/INBOX/new/ On 2.0.19 the exact same mail_location is set, but new mail is now delivered to: /home/username/domains/example-domain.ext/webmaster/.Maildir/new/ Notice the missing /INBOX/ in the path on 2.0.19. I found no mention of this change on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.0 which first lead me to suspect this was a bug in 2.0.19. However, while browsing the 2.0-wiki I found a page which sheds some light on the behaviour that is to be expected from Dovecot 2.0.x. Quote from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir#Directory_layout > "Mailbox directory name": "Without DIRNAME, INBOX will be stored at ~/Maildir/{new,cur,tmp}/, but when DIRNAME is specified, we get an extra path component INBOX/ immediately prior to the DIRNAME value, so in the example above INBOX would be stored at ~/Maildir/INBOX/mAildir/{new,cur,tmp}/." I then changed mail_location to have an empty DIRNAME, like: mail_location = maildir:~/domains/%d/%n/.Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME= It appears this fixes the problem for new mail arriving (haven't tested other folders yet). Questions: 1. Is this a deliberate change in behaviour between the two versions? If so, may I suggest adding this change to the Upgrading to 2.0 wiki page, because I was unable to find the relevant info quickly. If not, is this a misconfiguration on my side, or a (known) bug in one of the two versions? 2. Is the DIRNAME=(empty) a good solution, or is it unusual/hacky to leave DIRNAME empty? Any particular problems I may expect using this configuration? Thanks in advance for your help. -- Kind regards, Martijn
