Mail.app namespaces
by Dan Mahoney (Gushi) 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

All, Dovecot 2.3.13 under Freebsd 11.3, installed via pkg. I had a question related to dovecot and OSX mail.app. My primary mailer is "alpine". Sometimes I need to see a message in a graphical app so I occasionally turn to mail.app. I keep a lot of old mail. Mail.app on recent macos versions insist on downloading *everything* for easier searching and indexing. Most of which I don't need. (20G of mail over the last 20+ years, plus a bunch of mailing lists I keep archived, but only read when I need to search them). ios mail doesn't do this. Subscriptions don't work (in mail.app, subscriptions are only for public/shared folders). Ergo, is there a server-side way to make just one client not able to see/list/download ALL folders? Perhaps by presenting them as subscription folders, or perhaps by hiding them in the namespace. I'm not unwilling to configure an alternate namespace for myself. (It's helps that I'm the sysadmin here). Ideally, this would be a thing I could only set for my account -- match on a user-agent/username string of some sort? (My other option has been "create a different username and forward to myself there", but this feels like it should be solvable). -Dan My doveconf follows: # 2.3.13 (89f716dc2): /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 11.4-RELEASE-p3 amd64 # Hostname: prime.gushi.org disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_full_filesystem_access = yes mail_location = mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=%h/.mail:INDEX=/var/db/indexes/%u namespace { alias_for = hidden = yes list = no location = prefix = mail/ separator = / } namespace { alias_for = hidden = no list = yes location = prefix = ~/mail/ separator = / subscriptions = yes } namespace { alias_for = hidden = yes list = no location = prefix = ~%u/mail/ separator = / } namespace { hidden = no list = yes location = mbox:~%u/.incoming/ prefix = Inbounds/ separator = / } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imap_other { port = 1143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } inet_listener imaps_other { port = 1993 ssl = yes } } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3_other { port = 1110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } inet_listener pop3s_other { port = 1995 ssl = yes } } ssl_cert = </etc/mail/certs/prime.gushi.org.certkey ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } -- --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC FB: fb.com/DanielMahoneyIV LI: linkedin.com/in/gushi Site: http://www.gushi.org ---------------------------

doveadm expunge logging
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

Hello. dovecot 2.3.13 here, using doveadm -c /etc/my.conf expunge -A mailbox SomeFolder savedbefore 31d and my.conf includes plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename save } unfortunately expunged messages are not logged anywhere. Tried -v and -D to see if these will get logged to output (so I could pipe these to syslog) but verbose/debug also don't show which messages were expunged. Is there a way to get this logged? Log like regular dovecot logs would be nice: doveadm(arekm): pid=<14783>, expunge: box=INBOX, uid=0, msgid=<E1l2ZJp-0002NM-Vv(a)example.com>, size=15077 -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

Hi I'm made a lot of test trying to get SLQ auth driver work with vpopmail/mysql configured with many domains (one table for each domain) Finally I made it work, but ... only with PLAIN password Is there a way to make SQL auth work with vpopmail/mysql tables with encrypted password (CRAM-MD5 / MD5-CRYPT) ?

Re: SQL-AUTH driver replace for VPOPMAIL-AUTH

It seems like it would be possible to use a view table (with a union query) to "make" the many domain style table out of the tables by domain. You wouldn't want to do that if you were adding domains often... but it should make the dovecot auth for many domains work on top of the old tables instantly.Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device------ Original message------From: Eric BrochDate: Wed, Feb 10, 2021 2:58 PMTo: dovecot(a)dovecot.org;Cc: Subject:Re: SQL-AUTH driver replace for VPOPMAIL-AUTHPablo, Can you share your dovecot-sql.conf.ext file for 'one table for each domain'.

Problem enabling the mail_log plugin
by Mike Quigley 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

I need to track some issues with deleted messages so I have been trying to set up the mail_log plugin. I have Dovecot v2..27 running on Debian 9. I have configured /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf, 20-imap.conf, and 20-lmtp.conf and restarted dovecot, but I see so difference in /var/log/mail.info & /var/log/syslog when I delete a message from my Inbox in Roundcube. Here is the abbreviated output from doveconf -n: # 2.2.27 (): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.16 () # OS: Linux 4.9.0-14-amd64 x86_64 Debian 9.13 ext4 plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_after = /etc/dovecot/sieve-after sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve pop3" protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve notify mail_log" } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = " notify mail_log" } What am I missing?

I'm unable to get Claws-Mail to work with SSL/993 with a passphrased selfsigned cert
by Steve Litt 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

Hi all, First, thanks to everyone on Freenode #dovecot who helped me with my extreme problems a couple days ago. I once again have Claws-Mail able to connect to my SSL/993 only Dovecot IMAP, after making my own cert and a few other things. Here's the deal though. When I try to use an rsa:4096 cert with a passphrase for dovecot, Claws-Mail cannot connect, even though I put the cert's passphrase in Claws-Mail's passphrase field right below the field for the cert's location/filename. It tells me it can't import the p12 cert. This happens whether I put in the location of the public cert, or the private one. What do I need to do to get Claws-Mail and Dovecot to work together with a passphrased cert? Naturally, this could be a deficency in Claws-Mail, and I've written a similar email to the Claws-Mail group, but either way I'd like to get this solved so I'm not using a no-password cert. By the way, when I do: openssl s_client -connect 192.168.0.2:993 \ -cert/etc/ssl/dovecot_certs/private/dovecot.pem openssl asks me for the passphrase and upon receiving it gives me the information. This does not happen if I give it the location of the public key. Thanks, SteveT Steve Litt Autumn 2020 featured book: Thriving in Tough Times http://www.troubleshooters.com/thrive

Service unavailable, lots of idle dovecot-login processes
by Wolfgang 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

Hi, Web search turned no results to this problem: We have a small site running private e-mail for maybe 12 people, dovecot is used by Postfix-SASL and IMAP clients. PROBLEM: When starting dovecot, after a few hours, IMAP clients are no longer able to connect. Thunderbird indicates that connection is refused. On the server, we see 100 dovecot/imap-login processes. This is the process limit. If we increase the process limit to 200, same thing, we survive a few hours longer but eventually we're seeing 200 imap-login processes and rejected connections. When listing TCP connections via lsof, there are only around 30 connections open to IMAP and we have exactly the same amount of dovecot/imap processes. These connections are held by 30 dovecot/imap-login processes. The other 70 dovecot/imap-login processes seem to do nothing. They're all sitting in "epoll_wait(14," according to strace but don't have TCP connections open. The only way out of this that we have found is re-starting dovecot every few hours. BTW, service_count = 1 for improved security. Dovecot Version: 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4) Interestingly we were using nearly the same config on our old server with 2.2.13 and did not see this issue. Any ideas how to solve that properly? Thank you, Wolfgang

logging verbosity
by Fourhundred Thecat 05 Feb '21

05 Feb '21

Hello, I get lots of these messages in the log: dovecot: imap-login: Login: user(a)1.2.3.4, TLSv1.3 with .. dovecot: imap(user)<10889><glzsCIi6AMbUGQtL>: Disconnected for inactivity ... dovecot: imap(user)<10887><vzjQB4i6/MXUGQtL>: Logged out ... when user clicks on folder in Thunderbird, or sometimes even when the Thunderbird window is in focus (without clicking anything). Anyway, how can I suppress these info messages, while keeping the important ones, such as auth problems? I am using Dovecot v2.3.4.1 with 10-logging.conf with default values. I see there is this line: # Log unsuccessful authentication attempts and the reasons why they failed. auth_verbose = yes I definitely want to keep logging unsuccessful auth, but how can I suppress the verbose rest? and lastly, can these settings be set per-user? Can I suppress verbose for user 'bob' but keep for others? thanks,

Several users, same mailbox
by Adrian 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Hello, I have had Dovecot set up to use PAM authentication, as my current users all have system accounts on Debian. I've just moved over to passwdfile authentication, because I want to add new users who won't have logins on the system. This is working fine with my existing users. Now, the problem is that I want the new users to share the SAME (Maildir) 'mailbox'. Currently 10-mail.conf contains mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs so this needs to be overridden, or I need some new way of mapping users to mail locations. I could probably do it with symlinks from /var/mail/newuser to /var/mail/mail-location but there may be a better way to do it than that. I'd like it to be in a file, not needing mySQL or other database. Lastly, are there any implications for locking? These will be used rarely but if a second user logs in for the same mailbox they should get a lock error. dovecot -n # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () # OS: Linux 4.19.0-11-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.7 ext4 # Hostname: example.com disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs Thanks in advance

Restarting indexing?
by Philip Warner 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Hi, I have about 80GB of mail to index using Dovecot 2.3.4.1 and xapian 1.4.11 FTS. After about 18 hours I had to reboot the server for an unrelated reason (it was perhaps a quarter of the way through indexing). After reboot, the indexing did not restart, and I could find no way to restart it other than via the ‘doveadm index’ command, which I have now done, with the result that the indexing has restarted from scratch. Is there a way to coax it to restart from where it left off, in case I need another reboot? Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Custom quota exeed message
by rudolf＠padaru.de 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Hey there, i need some help with custom quota messages with dovecot and postfix. The quota setup is clear and easy, now i want to manipulate the exceed message, which is generated, if the mailbox is full. Now i got something like that Your message to <user(a)my.server.com> was automatically discarded: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) The first line so i think is generated from postfix and cant be edit or? The second line is generatet from dovecot and i can manipulate there with the quota_exceeded_message variable. My problem is, that the sender cant see the mail-adress where he originally send the mail. Because the user is an local user on my server. I need somethin like that: Your message to <peter.schmidt(a)schmidt.com> was automatically discarded: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) Is there an way to manipulate the first line of answer? Ori s there an way, that i can run a custom script in the quota_exceeded_message var? With the latter variant i would be able to create something like: Your message to <user(a)my.server.com> was automatically discarded: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user <peter.schmidt(a)schmidt.com> is full) But configurations like quota_exceeded_message = script /my/script.sh wont execute the script. Does anybody have an idea? Mit freundlichen Grüßen Yours sincerely Pascal Rudolf

how to dovecot import to folder/, not folder/INBOX
by didar 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, I am trying to import old Gmail mails from a maildir source into dovecot folder. chowm -R vmail:vmail /tmp/batch-1234 doveadm import -u gmail maildir:/tmp/batch-1234 2011 all This works, but it imports the emails into "2011/INBOX" rather just into "2011". Since, the "gmail" user account has maildir storage itself, I rename the "%h/.2011.INBOX" to "%h/.2011" manually and it seems to be working. I am wondering if there is another cleaner way to do it? Maybe import into default INBOX and use "doveadm move" instead? Here is my passdb file: (this is a testing setup inside a VM in my laptop) didar:{plain}e5d903c1615cdcd9c3d088ec2cb71b11927f7650:::: jamir:{plain}9ffeba7706846ed6be4e6e52bcc7afd792330874:::: chaitali:{plain}09ce7f54c7fee999a27967b741dc2e5f3950e7e8:::: rajesh:{plain}308059d2078ba123c435ebf7d0f20d8f137330cf:::: samim:{plain}23b82f0b10a802d25f308960c6071b151e3c37b6:::: monibul:{plain}8da4d1ae5e520ff8fadd415cfbfbafc8fcebb367:::: owasim:{plain}7ef9cf46165c4729e09fc142432cd892e3365c44:::: office:{PBKDF2}$1$9b5a900650285343$5000$1d041a5a6caea807e26b8ff4b41e5389bb4b4427::::/opt/mailstore/common/.Office::userdb_mail=maildir:~/ banking:{PBKDF2}$1$429b69dc44c46b33$5000$25a4b4c106c3fa69a6890253aa9163b66f013d48::::/opt/mailstore/common/.Banking::userdb_mail=maildir:~/ gmail:{PBKDF2}$1$4fadc2241bf79ee5$5000$6b6db95f72fbe2d9dcd311fdad6f614302e98da7::::/opt/mailstore/common/.Gmail::userdb_mail=maildir:~/ automail:{PBKDF2}$1$549cf6f14ab5ceb0$5000$a18fe676ca716148ab1ba75f225044a960420bbf::::/opt/mailstore/common/.Automail::userdb_mail=maildir:~/ Here is my dovecot.conf: # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () # OS: Linux 4.19.0-13-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.7 ext4 # Hostname: dovecot.vbox.lan auth_mechanisms = plain login info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log listen = 10.0.2.90 log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_attachment_dir = /opt/mailstore/attachments mail_location = mdbox:/opt/mailstore/mdboxes/%u mail_plugins = acl namespace { list = children location = maildir:/opt/mailstore/common:INDEXPVT=~/.common prefix = Common/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dai/passwd-imapauth driver = passwd-file } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/dai/global-acl } protocols = imap lmtp service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 127.0.0.1 } } service imap { process_limit = 50 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 10.0.2.90 port = 24 } user = vmail } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dai/dai-dovecot.cert ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dai/passwd-imapauth default_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/opt/mailstore/mdboxes/%u driver = passwd-file } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 2 mail_plugins = acl imap_acl } protocol lmtp { auth_username_format = %n } -- It's all in the mind, ya know.

Obtaining the IMAP GUID from a sieve script
by Ron Garret 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Is there any way to obtain the IMAP GUiD of a message that is being processed by a sieve script? I’m writing a filter that needs to to keep track of message identities as they are moved around between folders. I could add my own id header, but I’d rather not have to reinvent that wheel. Thanks, rg

Dovecot and mutt
by ＠lbutlr 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

I have a user who is unable to use mutt to login. I tested and sent a muttrc that worked for me and all he needed to do was put in his username and password. Which failed. After some back and forth, I figured out that his password contains a '$' and a '[' in it, and it seems like one of, or both, of these characters may be the issue. Is that expected? The account and password work properly via iOS and macOS mail, so the issue does't appear to be dovecot, but I find it very odd that mutt would have a glaring issue like this, so I am wondering if there is something else that I need to do. Mutt 2.0.4 (2020-12-30) The configuration looks like this: # Imap settings set imap_user = "user(a)example.com" set imap_pass = "lasH-hds[er$asd" # Not a real password # Smtp settings set smtp_url = "smtps://mail.covisp.net:587" set smtp_pass = "lasHhds[er$asd" # Remote mail folders set folder = "imaps://mail.covisp.net:993" set spoolfile = "+INBOX" set postponed = "+/Drafts" set record = "+/Sent Mail" set trash = "+/Trash" --

Master user password mismatch
by Gregory Sloop 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Trying to get master users working. I'm not sure what info would be best, but here's the detail I have now, in trying to get it working. Setup the master user file, and enabled master users in the conf files. Created the master user file and user/password hash. Turned on authentication debug. When I try something like: telnet localhost 143 and then supply the master user login - kind of like this: 1 login joeb*jb-master somepassword I get this in the logs. (Some obfuscation done.) --- dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=24985) dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011session=MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB#011lip=::1#011rip=::1#011lport=143#011rport=34376#011resp=<hidden> dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): Master user lookup for login: joeb dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): lookup: user=jb-master file=/etc/dovecot/masterusers-test dovecot: auth: passwd-file(jb-master,::1,master,<MM6QC9a5SIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB>): Password mismatch dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL#0111#011user=jb-master --- Yet I can use htpasswd -b -c -s /etc/dovecot/masterusers-test jb-master somepassword And this succeeds. (I created the masterusers-test file with httpasswd) So, I must have the password right, but dovecot is till failing the auth, claiming a bad password. How do I go about getting more detail so I can determine what's wrong? TIA -Greg

Dovecot Gmail OAuth2.0 Setting Question
by 福田泰葵 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Dear Sir or Madam Unable to build OAuth2.0 authentication to Gmail using dovecot as proxy. I have a question about how to use dovecot as a proxy to perform OAuth 2.0 authentication to Gmail using a mail client. 1. Is the following all I need to do to authenticate to Gmail using dovecot as a proxy? - passdb passdb { driver = oauth2 mechanisms = oauthbearer xoauth2 args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext } passdb { driver = oauth2 mechanisms = plain login args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext } - create dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext and dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext - create gmail service account api 2. grant_url in dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext and dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext is URL for obtaining a Google access token for a web server that I have built myself? 3. I use a Gmail service account, so I don’t need a client ID and secret ID, right? 4. Do I set introspection_url to the URL of my own web server with the access token used for authentication to Google as the response? 5. The documentation says “pass_attrs = host=127.0.0.1”, but if you are authenticating to Gmail, I should use “pass_attrs = proxy=y host=%{if;%s;eq;imap;imap.gmail.com;%{if;%s;eq;pop3;smtp .gmail.com;pop.gmail.com}} port=%{if;%s;eq;imap;993;%{if;%s;eq;pop3;587;465}} proxy_mech=xoauth2 pass=%{oauth2:access_token} user=%{oauth2:email oauth2:email}”? 6. What is the difference between dovecot-oauth2.token.conf.ext and dovecot-oauth2.plain.conf.ext ? Do I need to configure both? I used https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/oauth2/#proxy as a reference. I would appreciate your reply.
