acl and lazy_expunge plugins are incompatible?
by Paolo Cravero 24 Apr '15

24 Apr '15

Hello list. Following two previous unanswered requests (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-August/097449.html and http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-May/096261.html) I fell into the same problem: ACL and lazy_expunge plugins do not work together. I had lazy_expunge enabled working OK. Then I activated ACL plugin, and gave dovecot.2 visibily over paolo.cravero's Inbox: the IMAP connection fails on server-side. Relevant debug log is: Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: Quota grace: root=User quota bytes=576716800 (10%) Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: dict quota: user=paolo.cravero(a)csi.it, uri=file:/maildata1/home/csi.it/p/paolo.cravero/dovecot-quota, noenforcing=0 Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: fs: root=/maildata1/main/csi.it/p/paolo.cravero, index=/maildata1/indexes/csi.it/p/paolo.cravero, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt=/maildata1/altstorage/csi.it/p/paolo.cravero Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: acl: acl username = paolo.cravero(a)csi.it Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: acl: owner = 1 Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Debug: acl vfile: Global ACLs disabled Mar 3 15:59:02 tst-msg03 dovecot: imap(dovecot.2(a)csi.it): Fatal: lazy_expunge: Unknown namespace: '.EXPUNGED/' Removing the lazy_expunge, ACLs do work as expected and I can add/remove/use them.

Moving a local domain to sql
by ＠lbutlr 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

I have a domain that current maps to local users that I want to move into the mysql maps with all the other domains, but I am unsure of the best way to proceed with this. For example, my mail server is covisp.net and my personal domain is kreme.com, and currently kremels(a)kreme.com maps to the local user kremels. I want it to map to the existing mysql database as “kernels(a)kreme.xn--com-9o0a. (For example only, I’m not moving kreme.com, I am too dependent on procmail for all my list processing). Once I setup the user account in the mysql database do I just move the Maildir from /home/kremels to /usr/local/virtual/kremels(a)kreme.com/ and reload dovecot? -- I leave symbols to the symbol-minded - George Carlin

dovecot efficient use of resources
by shouddy＠enet.cu 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

I just started a heavy load imap service and everything fitted OK in functional terms. The problem comes whith stress tests, I have no problem in the directors line. But my doubt comes whether the backends are using efficiently the resources assigned or not. The main goal is to maximize the concurrency without affect the integrity of operations. My question is: Is there a rule for relating the amount of computing resources (RAM, Processor) with the number of simultaneous connections to an IMAP/POP3 server running dovecot? I had made all the adjustmens for high performance in dovecot according to the docs and O.S specs Backend's hardware Processor: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6136 RAM: 16 GB HDD: Enought for testing I'm confident the NFS layer is not making noise (yet). Comparing the results, the output of tests are giving consistent numbers using local file systems (all of them properly tuned) I have run the tests with imaptest but even with 100 clients I'm having system's max load of 46 stable. I have the sense that memory is not using properly (2GB at most from 16GB). Thank you so much in advance, would be grateful for any help Conf below Dovecot version 2.2.10 doveconf -n # OS: Linux 3.10.0-123.20.1.el7.x86_64 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo) nfs4 auth_mechanisms = plain login default_client_limit = 4000 disable_plaintext_auth = no listen = * mail_fsync = always mail_gid = 500 mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%8n/%n:INDEX=MEMORY mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_uid = 500 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 mmap_disable = yes 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-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } service auth { client_limit = 14400 service_count = 0 unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0640 user = vmail } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 24245 } } service imap-login { client_limit = 1000 process_limit = 100 process_min_avail = 16 service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 512 M } service imap { process_limit = 7000 service_count = 0 } service pop3-login { client_limit = 1000 process_limit = 100 process_min_avail = 16 service_count = 0 } service pop3 { process_limit = 7000 service_count = 0 } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 1000 } local 172.28.200.0/24/24 { doveadm_password = secret }

Hallo I can not find a forum at dovecot.org and I get a problem I can not solve. After Updating to the version dovecot2 2.1.16 I can no more get eMails with my eMail-client. All has been working fine before. Server: FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p18, with perl 5, version 18, subversion 4 (v5.18.4) It seems it is an authentication problem with my server. The errors are: #cat dovecot.log Apr 17 22:19:37 imap-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=41810, input bytes=0 Apr 17 22:19:58 auth: Error: auth: environment corrupt; missing value for DOVECOT_ Apr 17 22:19:58 auth: Fatal: unsetenv(RESTRICT_SETUID) failed: Bad address Apr 17 22:19:58 master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs Apr 17 22:24:04 auth: Error: auth: environment corrupt; missing value for DOVECOT_ Apr 17 22:24:04 auth: Fatal: unsetenv(RESTRICT_SETUID) failed: Bad address Apr 17 22:24:04 master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs I have google and has nothing found about "..environment corrupt; missing value for DOVECOT_" and about "auth: Fatal: unsetenv(RESTRICT_SETUID) failed: Bad address" I have make a reinstall - but doesn't help. I get the same error. I have not forget to create new certs with the dovecote shell-script after installation. I'm using passwd (virtual users). Make a cat on passwd shows that it is not empty. Also the date of the file show that the update installation has it not changed. So I have not create the dovecot users again. here are some other logs: #cat dovecot-info.log Apr 17 22:29:03 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 1 secs): user=<>, rip=85.181.222.126, lip=78.47.225.20, TLS handshaking Apr 17 22:29:33 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 30 secs): user=<>, rip=85.181.222.126, lip=78.47.225.20, TLS Apr 17 22:29:33 imap-login: Info: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 30 secs): user=<>, rip=85.181.222.126, lip=78.47.225.20, TLS #cat dovecot-debug.log Apr 17 22:30:03 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth Apr 17 22:30:03 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot//auth-token-secret.dat Apr 17 22:34:01 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth Apr 17 22:34:01 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot//auth-token-secret.dat Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before/accept initialization [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before/accept initialization [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client hello A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server hello A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write certificate A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write key exchange A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server done A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 flush data [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client certificate A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [85.181.222.126] Apr 17 22:34:01 imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [85.181.222.126] ######################################################################################## My configuration is sendmail(MTA) -> procmail(LDA) -> dovecot(IMAP) with TLS and Maildir (no DB) Authentification been done with dovecot password file (no real user, no OpenLDAP, no other DB-User) #dovecot -n # 2.2.16: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p18 amd64 ufs auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = digest-md5 plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log default_internal_user = vmail default_login_user = vmail deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ %f %s disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_uid = 1000 hostname = swdevil.de info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log login_greeting = IMAPd ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c mail_access_groups = mailnull mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/:INBOX=/home/vmail/%d/%n/.INBOX mail_plugins = " virtual" mail_temp_dir = /tmp/mail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = } passdb { args = scheme=DIGEST-MD5 username_format=%n /usr/local/etc/dovecot/pass driver = passwd-file } service auth-worker { group = wheel user = root } service imap-login { group = dovenull inet_listener imap { port = 0 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 } } service imap { process_limit = 100 } service pop3-login { group = dovenull inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 0 } } service pop3 { process_limit = 100 } ssl = required ssl_cert = </usr/local/etc/dovecot/certs/dovecot_ssl_crt.pem ssl_key = </usr/local/etc/dovecot/certs/dovecot_ssl_key.pem userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } verbose_proctitle = yes verbose_ssl = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } Many thanks for Your advice what could be wrong.

Problem: mail moved by thunderbird script is invisible to mail clients, but in cur directory
by David Gessel 18 Apr '15

18 Apr '15

Over the last year I've had a script moving old mail (120 days) into my annual archive folder. This is the first year I've done this with Dovecot, previously it was running against Cyrus. There's nothing particularly clever: a few conditions to match, then "move message to" the appropriate archive folder. There's one for every year from 2000 to 2015. 2015 is just barely ahead of need. 2014 has about a year's mail in the cur directory. The 2000-2013 folders were filled by Cyrus and were migrated over using IMAP Migrate. They're fine, and read normally. The 2014 layout looks normal to me # ls cur dovecot-uidlist dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log.2 new dovecot-keywords dovecot.index dovecot.index.log maildirfolder tmp Permissions are the same as every other folder, as is owner: drw-r----- 2 vmail vmail 9.6K Apr 12 21:13 cur and # ls | wc -l 9822 I've checked with Thunderbird, Mulberry, Claws, and Sylpheed - none can read the directory. The files look normal: 2014/cur 1426411329.M123928P26360.host.domain.com,S=3523,W=3591:2,R More or less the same as a working directory: 2013/cur 1405500734.M958596P27867.host.domain.com,S=794,W=819:2,RS I've run # doveadm force-resync -u user .archives.2014 and nothing changed. I'm at a bit of a loss since no client can read them, something like moving them to another folder and back is a little complicated. Any hints?

Replace autocreate after upgrading
by trash＠skrilnetz.net 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Hi, I just upgraded to 2.2.9 and found out that autocreate should not be used any more. I had a look at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxSettings and I tried to replace my old config but I had no success. Would somebody be so and help me to change my config? Here is my old config: http://pastebin.com/zFUAQmV3 Thanks,

Potentially breaking dict-proxy (dict-sql) backwards compatibility
by Timo Sirainen 17 Apr '15

17 Apr '15

Looks like the dict-proxy code doesn't currently do escaping newlines properly, but it still accidentally happens to work, because the data is stored in the escaped form. I'm thinking about fixing this, but this might break somebody's existing dict usage. But then again maybe nobody is actually using it now, especially because it hasn't been working exactly as expected. So, can anybody tell me if they're currently using a combination of: - dict proxy (especially to dict sql) - containing values which can contain LFs (or TABs) I guess this mainly means storing Sieve scripts or IMAP METADATA to SQL. Or maybe somebody is using dict (via proxy) for their own purposes?..

Thunderbird sync time? (reverse quota warning)
by E.B. 16 Apr '15

16 Apr '15

For reverse quota warning, it looks like webmail works nice. quota_warning3 = -storage=100%% quota-warning below %u # user is no longer over quota But using thunderbird I deleted enough messages to go below quota and I deleted them from trash folder too. But mail log does not show thunderbird connecting to imap to actually delete mails and get the trigger below quota warning msg. It's i thinks a thundrbrd behavior but i wonder if anyone on this list knows how it works? Do i just keep waiting for it to sync eventually? or??????? TIA!

Dovecot and recipient_delimiter

Disk space usage with mdbox
by Alexandros Soumplis 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

Hello, I am using dovecot with mdbox+sis and I notice an ever increasing disk space usage since I converted mailboxes from Maildir to mdboxes. I have checked with a user and while it actually uses only 65K, his mdbox files on disk are more than 6G. The backup of his mailbox is just 64K. Any suggestions ? Below are some relevant commands: [root@mail ~]# doveadm quota get -u test Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 10135 31457280 0 User quota MESSAGE 186 - 0 [root@mail ~]# du -k --max-depth=1 /mdboxes/test/ 220 /mdboxes/test/mailboxes 6029348 /mdboxes/test/storage 6029592 /mdboxes/test/ [root@mail ~]# doveadm purge -u test [root@mail ~]# du -k --max-depth=1 /mdboxes/test/ 220 /mdboxes/test/mailboxes 6029348 /mdboxes/test/storage 6029592 /mdboxes/test/ [root@mail ~]# doveadm backup -u test mdbox:/tmp/MDBOX_TEMP/ [root@mail ~]# du -k --max-depth=1 /tmp/MDBOX_TEMP/ 16 /tmp/MDBOX_TEMP/mailboxes 65540 /tmp/MDBOX_TEMP/storage 65568 /tmp/MDBOX_TEMP/

setting service_count results in Permission denied
by Micah Anderson 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

The load on our machines has gotten too high, so I started to see log messages that directed me to look at this page for config changes: https://pad.riseup.net/redirect#http%3A//wiki2.dovecot.org/SocketUnavailable One of the things I wanted to do on that page was to set the: service imap { service_count = 100 } but when I added that to the service imap block, and restarted dovecot, I see this in the logs: Error: net_connect_unix(/run/dovecot/imap-postlogin) failed: Permission denied I dont understand how this impacts permissions. Its clearly this setting, because when I remove it, things work again. I found nothing else in the logs indicating a configuration problem. This is what the config block looked like: service imap { # Most of the memory goes to mmap()ing files. You may need to increase this # limit if you have huge mailboxes. #vsz_limit = 256M # Max. number of IMAP processes (connections) process_limit = 4096 service_count = 100 executable = imap imap-postlogin } service imap-postlogin { # the script process runs as the user specified here (v2.0.14+): #user = $default_internal_user executable = script-login /usr/local/sbin/postlogin_imap # this UNIX socket listener must use the same name as given to imap executable unix_listener imap-postlogin { } } This is with dovecot 2.2.13, thanks for any help you can provide! micah

concurrent IMAP connections (plus 2 easy questions)
by Ron Cleven 15 Apr '15

15 Apr '15

I posted a few days back asking about configuration issues with a modestly large number of IMAP connections. Several people were kind enough to respond with various ideas. Armed with those ideas and Google, I was able to determine the underlying configuration issues with CentOS 7 and Dovecot 2.2.10. I did some further benchmarking to ensure that we could properly plan our server configuration requirements as we continue to roll this out, so I thought I would share this, partly to see if anyone has experiences that conflict with my findings. I found that each incremental dovecot IMAP process required about 750k of RAM. Simulations confirmed that 8 gig of RAM was sufficient to support approximately 10,000 concurrent IMAP connections (no POP3). CentOS settings: Added: fs/inotify/max_user_instances = 28000 to: /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf Added: * hard nproc 28000 * soft nproc 28000 * hard nofile 28000 * soft nofile 28000 to: /etc/security/limits.d/20-nproc.conf To verify the settings after reboot: cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances ulimit -Hn ulimit -Sn Dovecot: Added: process_limit = 28000 to service imap{} /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf Added (using proxies, would like to just turn off this check): mail_max_userip_connections = 40 to protocol imap {}: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf Added: process_limit = 28000 to service managesieve {}: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf Hope this helps someone. Feedback would be welcome. It would be great if there was a blessed cookbook for Dovecot scaling. At this point it seems a bit like an art form. Now to my two "easy" questions. 1) TCP replication between our two CentOS boxes has been working great, no complaints. However, I realized I did not know how to check the status of replications, as one might want to do if one of the two boxes was taken offline for maintenance or repair. On the surface, it would appear that the command: doveadm replicator status '*' would likely show me what I want to know. However, when I tried it, I got: doveadm(): Fatal: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/replicator-doveadm) failed: No such file or directory The documentation says that doveadm assumes the socket /var/run/dovecot/replicator-doveadm and the command format provides a "-a" override. In that directory, there is no "replicator-doveadm" socket, but I do see a "replicator" socket. So, should I be using the command: doveadm replicator status -a /var/run/dovecot/replicator '*' or is the non-existence of the replicator-doveadm socket indicative of something I might have done wrong with the config? I hate experimenting more than I have to with a production box. The 2.2.10 Dovecot I am running was installed via yum, so there are no potential compilation issues. 2) It seems logical to me that: dovecot stop would first lock out any new user connections, then do the equivalent of a: doveadm kick "*" before actually cycling everything else down to ensure the shutdown is as graceful as possible. I suppose I could experiment and find out for certain, but I have the sense that the "stop" command is not quite that elegant, so we have implemented procedures to work around it. Just a point of curiosity. An alternative would be if there was a doveadm command to lock out any new user connections, which could then be followed by kick and stop. I have found that many clients are VERY quick to reconnect after a kick.

special_use folders
by Roman Gelfand 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

My setup is postfix mail gateway/spamassassin on one machine and dovecot mail box server on another machine. Will the following configuration work? 1. On the mail gateway, I install dovecot-lmtp and use it to deliver locally spam. 2. On the mailbox server, I configure special use junk folder to point mail gateway's spam folder via nfs. If this is correct, how can I configure special use folder to point to a path (variable based on email) which is different from default path? If there is a different way to handle this, I would interested. Thanks in advance

dovecot debug message help required
by Rajesh M 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

hi i was carrying out some testing using qmailtoaster with dovecot on a centos 64 server i am connecting to the mailbox using a windows machine with outlook across the lan. the mailbox is around 7gb in size with around 12000 emails spread across multiple folders and i am trying to sync the mailbox folders to by creating an account imap account in outlook. the mails are getting downloaded in the imap folder but the sync does not complete and outlook throws an error. Task 'Synchronizing subscribed folders for user(a)mydomain.com.' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'Outlook cannot synchronize subscribed folders for user(a)mydomain.com..

Disabling of userdb/passdb modules using config statements
by Jeroen Massar 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Hola, Debian (and possibly other distros) use the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/* setup where default config files are stuffed and then one can just add a 99-myconfig.conf et voila, variables are overruled. This allows the distro to supply updates to the files at package upgrade time without any/much user intervention. The problem (for me ;) is that the system comes provided with: auth-system.conf.ext containing: passdb { driver = pam } userdb { driver = passwd } Hence pam & /etc/passwd based are always enabled. This while I don't have any local users. Replication seems to then always pick up the local users, which are vmail + nobody (65536). doveadm user '*' thus reports vmail, nobody + virtual users Setting: first_valid_uid = 5000 last_valid_uid = 5000 only keeps vmail in there, but apparently some module (guess replication) is still able to figure out that 'nobody' exists: Apr 10 09:48:25 mail dovecot: doveadm(IPADDR,nobody): Error: Mail access for users with UID 65534 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup). Apr 10 09:48:25 mail dovecot: doveadm(IPADDR,nobody): Error: dsync-server: User init failed Apr 10 09:49:38 mail dovecot: doveadm(nobody): Error: sync: Failed to start remote dsync-server command: Remote exit_code=75 and on the other side: Apr 10 09:54:38 mail dovecot: doveadm(nobody): Error: sync: Unknown user in remote This can be resolved by commenting out the entries in auth-system.conf.ext but then I'll have to do that again at package upgrade time. Hence, would it be a cool option to be able (in the 99-myconfig.conf) file to put: passdb { driver = pam enabled = false } userdb { driver = passwd enabled = false } And thereby disabling those modules completely? Thus avoiding upgrade conflicts etc. Greets, Jeroen

Calendar and address book with Dovecot
by mimicafe＠gmail.com 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Hi all I recently install Postfix and Dovecot, and so far so good. My assumption was that calendar and address book (similar to Gmail calendar or address book) are part of Dovecot. However I do not see anything concerning them in any of the docs I have read so far. What other software (ideally open source, free) do I need in other to have Calendar and address book so my users can manage their contact on their phones or computer? I have looked at Roundcube already, but my requirement is not necessarily to provide web mail. Thanks Mimi

pop3 retr responses too large lines - Fails with current python's poplib
by Guillermo M. Narvaja 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Since December 2014, clients using the Python poplib library (getmail in my case) started to limit the line length of RETR and other command responses sent from the server to 2048 bytes: See https://bugs.python.org/issue16041 (Included at least in Python-2.7.9) Dovecot doesn't have line split in the POP3 module, so Python fails to retrieve messages with long lines. RFC 1939 says: " Responses in the POP3 consist of a status indicator and a keyword possibly followed by additional information. All responses are terminated by a CRLF pair. Responses may be up to 512 characters long, including the terminating CRLF. " I think dovecot-pop3 should split it's output in lines of at least 512 characters. Or at least it should have a "pop3_max_line_length" setting (like "imap_max_line_length").

Hola, Dovecot: 2.2.16 (6bde7868cffd) That is the rename-it 2:2.2.16-1~auto+43 edition.

I would not be surprised if this was related to a broken index, as the other side effect I saw during this sync was an ever-expanding maildir (read: sdbox), multiplying itself during sync, keeping large amounts of the the .temp.<xxxx> in the dir, never moving them to a final directory. That was resolved by stopping dovecot, then deleting the broken sdbox (backups++) and performing a 'dovecot force-resync -u user Folder' on the source. Maybe there was a race somewhere while syncing the large amount of data over; seems that everything is okay now though. Greets, Jeroen

sa-learn with remote Dovecot folders
by Andreas Kasenides 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Hi all! The set-up I have is a classic one: 1. one or more Dovecot relay/directors Postfix SMTP servers in DMZ 2. one or more backend IMAP/SMTP servers on the inside network 3. There may or may not be separate incoming or outgoing designated SMTP servers. Now the desired functionality is (of course): 1. relay machines receive messages from outside AND inside 2. relays check for all the bad things (spam, viruses etc). 3. for incoming messages relays check for valid local users and reject messages for invalid users 4. after all checks are done incoming messages are transferred to the backend systems where they are accessed via the Dovecot directors While all the above works nicely, the problem I have is how to train my spamassassin (used by amavisd) on the front ends when all messages are on the back ends. Of course transferring the spam detection procedures internally is not such a great option.Am I missing something? I tried googling for info but nothing substantial turned up. Thanks. -- Andreas Kasenides Senior IT Officer Dept. of Computer Science, University of Cyprus Tel: 22892714, Fax: 22892701 (5B4ANK)

gmail-migration: archived mails in \ALL
by Peer Heinlein 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

Hi, I don't completly understand http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Gmail I can't find the documentation for the -a and the -F Flag. I'd like to migrate ONLY archived mails from an existing gmail-Account. So I'd have to import all Mails from the \ALL-Folder that does NOT have any virtual folder flags set. I tried to use this command: doveadm -D -o imapc_user=user(a)example.com -o pop3c_user=user(a)exampe.com -o imapc_password=secret -o pop3c_password=secret -o imapc_host=imap.googlemail.com -v backup -m '[Gmail]/Tutti i messaggi' -F '-$GmailHaveLabels' -x \Flagged -x \Junk -x \Trash -x \Important -R -u user(a)example.com imapc: But it looks like it's importing too many mails and not only the archived mails without Flags. How do I have do understand -F '-$GmailHaveLabels ?? Is it "that NOT have $GmailHaveLabels"? And: Is there any better way to address the \ALL-Folder? I can use "-x \All" to exclude that folder, but it looks like I can't use "-m \All" to select that folder. We're a little bit in hurry since Google will stop its service this weekend. Any fast help would be appreciated.

Sieve, multiple addresses, and variables
by Andrew Sullivan 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi, I have another sieve question, this time about setting variables. I join a lot of mailing lists at ietf.org. I thought it'd be handy to filter these all into a common folder and then into individual folders, without having to configure each mailing list independently. So wrote this (this is just a part, obviously): require ["envelope", "variables", "date", "fileinto", "mailbox" ]; if address :is :domain "to" "ietf.org" { if address :matches :localpart "to" "*" {set "lopart" "${1}";} } elsif address :is :domain "cc" "ietf.org" { if address :matches :localpart "cc" "*" {set "lopart" "${1}";} } else {set "lopart" "generic-list-box";} fileinto :create "ietf.${lopart}-in"; stop; } Now, this works, unless someone sends a To: line like this: To: ajs(a)crankycanuck.ca, listname(a)ietf.org The problem in that case is that you _do_ get a match, but the bit "if address :matches :localpart "to" "*" {set "lopart" "${1}";}" ends up putting this in a mailbox ietf.ajs-in, when what is the mailbox ietf.listname-in. I thought that allof(if address :matches :localpart "to" "*", address :matches :localpart "to" "*") {set "lopart" "${1}";}, would solve this, but it doesn't seem to. The localpart matching catches the ajs(a)crankycanuck.ca address anyway, which surprised me. Am I dim, am I not understanding something about how to do this, or is this really impossible? Thanks, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs(a)crankycanuck.ca

Hello Everyone, I'm running the antispam plugin on Dovecot 2.0.19 on Ubuntu Server 14.04 and I can't seem to get it to work. In the IMAP section of dovecot.conf I have the following lines: protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota imap_acl antispam # mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota imap_acl imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep # Maximum number of IMAP connections allowed for a user from each IP address. # NOTE: The username is compared case-sensitively. # Default is 10. # Increase it to avoid issue like below: # "Maximum number of concurrent IMAP connections exceeded" mail_max_userip_connections = 20 plugin { antispam_debug_target = syslog antispam_verbose_debug = 1 antispam_backend = pipe antispam_trash = Trash antispam_spam = Junk antispam_pipe_program_spam_arg = --spam antispam_pipe_program_notspam_arg = --ham antispam_pipe_program = /usr/bin/sa-learn antispam_pipe_program_args = --username=%Lu } } For some reason, when I try to move something to Junk, I get the following in my syslog: Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: plugin initialising (2.0-notgit) Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: verbose debug enabled Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: "Junk" is exact match spam folder Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: no unsure folders Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: "Trash" is exact match trash folder Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: pipe backend spam argument = --spam Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: pipe backend not-spam argument = --ham Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: pipe backend program = /usr/bin/sa-learn Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: pipe backend program arg[0] = --username=anthony(a)cajuntechie.org Mar 31 18:27:16 anonymail imap: antispam: pipe backend tmpdir /tmp Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(Junk): 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(INBOX): 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(Junk): 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mail copy: from trash: 0, to trash: 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(INBOX): 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(Junk): 1 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(INBOX): 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: mail copy: src spam: 0, dst spam: 1, src unsure: 0 Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program /usr/bin/sa-learn Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program /usr/bin/sa-learn Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program parameter 1 --username=anthony(a)cajuntechie.org Mar 31 18:27:19 anonymail imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program parameter 2 --spam Mar 31 18:27:21 anonymail imap: antispam: run program failed with exit code -1 This is probably a permissions issue but I'm not able to debug it.

can't create folders under shared mailbox's INBOX

Hello, I have a namespace / ACL problem with shared mailboxes that I can't figure out. I have a local user tam(a)crm.yb.lmax that shares it's INBOX and all other folders with on LDAP group.

ACL syntax for setting specified folders within Maildir/ read-only for owner
by kepa 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi, I have dovecot (2.2.16, see dovecot -n at end) installed to /opt on CentOS 6 for access on a local network. I would like to create an archival mail account which will reduce the primary account file size and still make older emails easily accessible. How can I set specified folders in this Maildir read-only with ACL? For example, I included this in the dovecot-acl file to specify protected folders in the archives@ Maildir but it did not work: "Email 2013/*" user=archives lrs "Email 2014/*" user=archives lrs Also tried this on folders without spaces with no success (the folders were still delete-able by the user via the Thunderbird client). Each "Email..." folder has several child folders that should also be read-only. BTW, what is the maximum size for a Maildir that Dovecot can comfortably handle? Thanks!

Dovecot keeps creating info files in mail directory instead of home
by Jeffrey 'jf' Lim 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a while now, and I'm really at a loss. My userdb is set up correctly to return home, and mail, and a test with 'doveadm user' verifies this: # doveadm user user@domain field value uid 1000 gid 1000 home /var/domain/user mail maildir:/var/mail/user@domain I've reloaded, restarted, stopped and started dovecot again - and even deleted the info files in the mail directory just to be sure - but each and every time I log in with imap, dovecot recreates the files again (dovecot.index.log, dovecot-uidlist, etc.) in the mail directory instead of home. I've even made sure just in case that the home directory is accessible to all, and chmod 777, but nothing gets created there. And I dont get any errors at all in the logs.

Authentication with Samba using Kerberos fails
by Justin Clacherty 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Hi, I've been having some problems getting GSSAPI authentication going against a samba (4.2) server and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've searched through Google and haven't managed to find a solution yet. I followed the config instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Kerberos and run through the testing. Testing from the server with telnet does as expected i.e. I get the "+" after I try "a authenticate GSSAPI". However, when I go to test from Thunderbird on while logged in on a Windows PC joined to the domain authentication fails and I see the following in mail.log (I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS).

Deleting empty folders
by Samuel Williams 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

So, along with the problem of lots of folders ending in 1 1 1 1, I'd like to have a strategy to delete these. I was trying to understand if it is possible to use http://linux.die.net/man/1/doveadm-expunge to delete empty folders, but without also deleting messages? Is this possible and if so what is the syntax? Kind regards, Samuel

What to read about interactions
by Andrew Sullivan 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Hi, TL;DR: I am having a hard time synthesizing the information I need out of the website/wiki documentation, and google isn't turning up what I need, so I'm looking for advice on what I should read next to understand the way aliases, dovecot's lmtp, and pigeonhole work together. Details below. I've been using dovecot happily for some years, but in a recent migration of my mail server I set up something that I think will be slightly easier to maintain. I now have a single (in my case postgres) database backing all user names and so on, with postfix relying on dovecot auth for user validation and delivery. I have the usual anti-spam machinery in there, and have started using the (for me new) pigeonhole implementation of sieve. (My old mail system was built around the earlier dovecot implementation, and while I've patched it over time it's really pretty creaky.) On the whole, this all seems very nice, but I'm having a hard time understanding the details of what interacts with what other bits when. In particular, my mail system is known by several different names, and I thought it'd be much handier to have everything land in one real mailbox, since I could sort the inbound mail into different mailboxes without a lot of trouble using seive. This has turned out to be slightly trickier than I thought it ought to be (procmail is in some ways easier), and I've come to the conclusion that I don't have a strong foundation in exactly how this is supposed to work. Apart from reading the code (which would probably at this point be hard enough for me so as to make it impossible), are there things I ought to read to understand this better? I've read the seive RFCs, but while that gives me a clue about what ought to happen protocol-wise, it isn't helping me at all to understand the interaction among the different subsystems so that I can see clearly how different parts of the delivery chain are interacting. I'm sure there's some crucial bit of, "Everyone knows that," that I've overlooked, and I thought it would be better to ask for the FM than just to read randomly until I stumbled on it.

Using dovecot to serve an email archive
by Ramón Casares 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

I have a collection of old email messages, archived as follows: 1) One file per message. 2) Messages (=files) distributed in a hierarchy of dirs under mailarch. 3) Each file (=message) uses the name <seconds>.R<sha1>.mail Here <seconds> is the date of the message, expressed as the number of seconds from 1-1-1970 00:00 in 10 digits, and <sha1> is the SHA-1 hash of the message contents, expressed in hexadecimal, [0-9a-f]. The advantages of this file naming scheme are: 1) All important metadata are in the file name. 2) You can verify the integrity of each message using only its own data and metadata. 3) Each file name is unique. 4) It is compatible with maildir (qmail) unique names (uniq). 5) If a dir is sorted alphabetically, then it is ordered chronologically. 6) The extension .mail can be used to call an appropriate message reader. >From time to time I add new messages and dirs to the archive, but some dirs are closed forever, so it would be nice to tar.gz'ip them. Now I am looking for an IMAP server that can serve this collection in a read-only (ro) manner. That is, the server should not write the mailarch dir at all. I am exploring two possibilities: 1) using hard links. 2) using FUSE to set a rw layer on top of the ro archive layer. But I am new to dovecot, so perhaps there is an easier way to achieve what I want, and therefore I would appreciate very much your advice.

Sieve/ManageSieve documentation on Wiki2
by Robert Blayzor 06 Apr '15

Is it possible the Sieve/ManageSieve documentation on the Wiki can be cleaned up? It's incredibly confusing now. Some of the Sieve configuration information says certain options are deprecated, but then the example on how to configure it uses the deprecated options rather than what they *should* be now. More confusion is the sieve plugin configuration listing those same deprecated options, yet when you pull the document on how to configure ManageSieve, it (again) uses deprecated configuration information? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/ManageSieve/Configuration Or am I missing something? -- Robert inoc.net!rblayzor http://inoc.net/
