Enabling auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker disables proxy mode
by Malte Schmidt 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

Setting "auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker = yes" in order to leverage multiple cores for the Dovecot authentication-process causes Dovecot not to proxy anymore. With debug-logging I figured: auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker = no passdb out: OK 1 user=username host=bla port=10993 ssl=any-cert mail_crypt_global_public_key=key mail_crypt_global_private_key=otherkey hostip=123.123.123.123 proxy pass=pw auth_cache_verify_password_with_worker = yes passdb out: OK 1 user=username The rest seems missing. Dovecot version: v2.3.11.3 Searching for this issue, I found at least two posts mentioning the same symptoms: https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2018-April/111583.html https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2020-April/118564.html https://listen.jpberlin.de/pipermail/dovecot/2020-April/001915.html (same as the english one from april 2020)

Infinity loop when run "doveadm quota get -A" from Dovecot Director with 500 users
by Duc Anh Do 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

Hi all, I have one Dovecot Director, two Dovecot Backends and one LDAP server with about 500 users. I would like to run *doveadm quota get -A* from the Director. In each Backend, there is no problem when run the command: # doveadm quota get -A user1 User quota STORAGE 0 1048576000000000 0 user1 User quota MESSAGE 0 - 0 … user500 User quota STORAGE 0 1048576000000000 0 user500 User quota MESSAGE 0 - 0 However, when I run from the Director, the command might stuck in an infinity loop (I have to terminate to quit): # doveadm quota get -A user1 User quota STORAGE 0 1048576000000000 0 user1 User quota MESSAGE 0 - 0 … user49 User quota STORAGE 0 1048576000000000 0 user49 User quota MESSAGE 0 - 0 user66 User quota STORAGE 0 1048576000000000 0 user66 User quota MESSAGE 0 - 0 ^Cdoveadm(user86): Error: doveadm server failure doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users doveadm: Error: backend2.local:24245: Command quota get failed for user53: EOF doveadm: Error: backend1.local:24245: Command quota get failed for user66: EOF doveadm: Error: Aborted This problem occurs in both Dovecot 2.2.36 and Dovecot 2.3.11, 2.3.13 (I build Dovecot from source). It's ok for me to get quota of one user from the Director: # doveadm quota get -u user1 Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 0 1048576000000000 0 User quota MESSAGE 0 - 0 And if there's only one Backend, *doveadm quota get -A* from the Director works well too. After investigating, I found the infinity loop: File src/doveadm/doveadm-mail-server.c: static void doveadm_server_flush_one(struct doveadm_server *server) { unsigned int count = array_count(&server->queue); do { io_loop_run(current_ioloop); } while (array_count(&server->queue) == count && doveadm_server_have_used_connections(server) && !DOVEADM_MAIL_SERVER_FAILED()); } In case there're many Backends, I see only global variable *current_ioloop* is used to notify in the callback function. Might this be a race condition? I understand there's a workaround to do my work: - Run *doveadm user '*'* to get all users - Loop through all users and run *doveadm quota get -u xxx* Thanks, Anh Do

2.13 read, i_stream_read_memarea: assertion failed: (!stream->blocking)
by Stuart Henderson 28 Jan '21

28 Jan '21

I'm seeing this on some mailboxes with 2.13 on OpenBSD amd64 (recent snapshot): dovecot: imap(sthen)<47220><ARy1oKS5lWDDX7sa>: Panic: file istream.c: line 332 (i_stream_read_memarea): assertion failed: (!stream->blocking) Using sieve, imapsieve, replicator, zlib (zlib_save = lz4 and has been for some time, so the relevant messages probably use this). Using mmap_disable because OpenBSD. Any suggestions how to handle it, preferably automatically? (even if a message is corrupt/lost it would be really nice if a standard client could still access the mailbox rather than kill the imap process while reading headers). bt first for ease of reading, followed by bt full in case it has any additional clues.

doveadm http api expunge call
by tim＠linux-daus.de 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Hi all, i'm start porting some of my maintenance scripts from doveadm cli to doveadm http api. I stumble over the doveadm expunge call. The response doesn't contain any additional output but the generic doveadmresponse object without any additional information. The list is always empty wether the expunge has expunged some emails or not: [['doveadmResponse', [], 'tag1']] Other then the cli command wich outputs a list of the mails that were expunged. Is this a bug? Best regards, Tim

Forwarding parameters for imapc
by bra＠fsn.hu 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Hi, I have the following IMAP setup: dovecot proxy -> dovecot server -> IMAP backend (imapc) What I want to achieve is to have the original client parameters from the proxy in the IMAP backend. Dovecot in proxy mode sends them via an ID command, like this: ID ("x-session-id" "SESS" "x-originating-ip" "IP" "x-originating-port" "PORT" "x-connected-ip" "IP" "x-connected-port" "PORT" "x-proxy-ttl" "4") Is it possible with current dovecot versions to send this to the imapc backend as well? Of course I would expect that if the dovecot proxy is in login_trusted_networks, information from it should be used (IMAP: ID, POP/LMTP: XCLIENT). If this is not the case, could you please implement it? Thanks,

Hello John, Sorry for a bit delayed reply. For some reason some of dovecot mail list messages are not reaching my inbox :( Indeed, I can confirm that your patch works as expected: meaning strips out just the message body. So yes, in my report I supposed to say: message bodies of affected messages are being ignored completely. Sorry for confusion and thanks again for such a useful patch!

New dovecot server, authentication confusion
by Jeff Abrahamson 24 Jan '21

24 Jan '21

I've set up a new dovecot+postfix instance with virtual (not system) users. I've a few questions, mostly about auth. I /think/ that postfix handles auth by asking dovecot. Users need to provide user + password to send (smtps) and receive (imaps). I see where I've configured this for dovecot, which is /etc/dovecot/passwd.db. That file contains lines like this: jeff@mobilitains.fr:{BLF-CRYPT}$2y$05$c... What concerns me is that I see occasional log items like this: Jan 24 11:26:33 nantes-m1 postfix/smtpd[4597]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms (Also, I can't connect with thunderbird.) But I think I've configured SASL auth, so I'm not sure what to look at / how to debug this. I'm looking for suggestions how to approach this. I do not see how postfix knows who is allowed to connect, however. Am I correct that postfix delegates SASL to dovecot? This is the relevant config, I think: [T] jeff@nantes-m1:log $ doveconf -n # 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.7.2 () # OS: Linux 5.4.0-64-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS # Hostname: nantes-m1.p27.eu auth_verbose = yes mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_privileged_group = mail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Archive { auto = subscribe special_use = \Archive } 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 = } passdb { args = username_format=%u scheme=blf-crypt /etc/dovecot/passwd.db driver = passwd-file } plugin { sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_after = /var/mail/vmail/sieve-after sieve_before = /var/mail/vmail/sieve-before sieve_dir = ~/sieve } protocols = " imap" ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/nantes-m1.p27.eu/fullchain.pem ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { args = uid=4000 gid=4000 home=/var/mail/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } protocol lda { deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = postmaster@{{ primary_domain }} quota_full_tempfail = yes rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep tb-lsub-flags mail_max_userip_connections = 20 } [T] jeff@nantes-m1:log $ [T] jeff@nantes-m1:log $ postconf -n | grep -i sasl broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unknown_client_hostname,reject_unknown_sender_domain,reject_unknown_recipient_domain,permit_mynetworks,permit_sasl_authenticated,reject_unauth_destination,reject_invalid_hostname,reject_non_fqdn_sender smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks permit_sasl_authenticated defer_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot [T] jeff@nantes-m1:log $ postconf -Mf smtp inet n - y - - smtpd submission inet n - y - - smtpd -o syslog_name=postfix/submission -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_client_restrictions= -o smtpd_helo_restrictions= -o smtpd_sender_restrictions= -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions= -o smtpd_relay_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING smtps inet n - y - - smtpd -o syslog_name=postfix/smtps -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_reject_unlisted_recipient=no -o smtpd_client_restrictions= -o smtpd_helo_restrictions= -o smtpd_sender_restrictions= -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions= -o smtpd_relay_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING ...

Massive /tmp files
by MRob 22 Jan '21

22 Jan '21

Hello, I just found user who has single folder (standard maildir format) that filled with over 8mil files and 800GB in the /tmp subdirectory of that folder: /email/domain/username/.Folder/tmp The files in there are normal maildir email files. I think the dir ran out of inode space so its not ongoing problem. My question is only can I purge that folder without breaking something more? If it tries to re-fill again I will try to debug Thankyou!!

[BUG REPORT] In some cases dovecot sends (huge) binary data to solr for indexing
by Alexey Panov 21 Jan '21

21 Jan '21

In some cases (exact condition still unknown) dovecot sends binary data (attachments) to SOLR for indexing. This reduces index and overall FTS efficiency dramatically. In extreme condition (below an example of 20MB) dovecot’s hardwired timeout of 60s gets triggered during HTTP exchange with SOLR on just a single file. This results in an unfinished index which, by initial indexing, gets restarted over and over. With multiple affected mailboxes even on moderate usage this can cause an IO overload of the whole system. Message example (doveadm fetch text): https://filebin.ca/5oy5Wc1QrBK3/fetch-text.obfuscated.txt <https://filebin.ca/5oy5Wc1QrBK3/fetch-text.obfuscated.txt> Corresponding raw log data: https://filebin.ca/5oy6yqLSCr3H/rawlog.obfuscated.txt <https://filebin.ca/5oy6yqLSCr3H/rawlog.obfuscated.txt> (Both files were processed with perl doveadm-obfuscate.pl <https://www.dovecot.org/tools/doveadm-obfuscate.pl>; the script doesn’t replace non-latin characters so they were replaced with ‘R’ manually) Workaround: there is a useful patch by John Fawcett <https://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg82296.html> that allows to set the FTS indexing message body maximum size. It works perfectly, but affected messages are getting completely ignored by FTS. This bug report is a summarised result of this discussion <https://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg82599.html>.

If i try i see that the lmtp service search the path from the inbox namespace (so INBOX/Archive/Incoming). Thanks

Where does sieve store its "vacation" state?
by Ron Garret 21 Jan '21

21 Jan '21

Pigeonhole/sieve has a “vacation” feature that keeps track of which addresses it has sent messages to already so it doesn’t send too many. The state for this feature seems to survive a dovecot restart, so it must be persistent somewhere and not just stored in RAM. But I don’t recall configuring any place where that state would reside. So where is it? rg

Mail crypt plugin with HSM
by Dima Kovalyov 21 Jan '21

21 Jan '21

Hello Dovecot developers, I'm using a mail-crypt plugin to perform encryption at rest using per user keys encrypted with their password. Great plugin and I really appreciate it's continuous development and improvement. I have a question regarding mail-crypt keys being stored in HSM. Is it possible? I'm almost sure I've seen some discussion about usage of PKCS#11 in mail-crypt but can't find it in the mailing list. Please advise. Thanks! - Dima

Dovecot Gmail OAuth2.0 Setting Question
by 福田泰葵 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '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. Yours faithfully, ------------------------------ e-mail: taiki.fukuda(a)justsystems.com TEL: 03-5324-7900 mobile: 080-6198-7328 ------------------------------

dovecot 2.3.13 : make check FAILURE : Assert failed: buffer_append_full_file
by J Lumby 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '21

After successfully building dovecot 2.3.13 (linux kernel 5.10.1 , glibc-2.32 , gcc-9.3) make check had one failure as follows : test-buffer-istream.c:54: Assert failed: buffer_append_full_file(result, TEST_FILENAME, SIZE_MAX, &error) == BUFFER_APPEND_READ_ERROR test-buffer-istream.c:56: Assert failed: error != NULL && *error != '\0' buffer_append_full_file .............................................. : FAILED After a brief look at the referenced code in test-buffer-istream.c , I can't find out what this FAIL really means or whether it is serious. The assert is finding that the result of the call to buffer_append_full_file is not BUFFER_APPEND_READ_ERROR, but it does not report what the result code actually was. Maybe errno was actually 0 and call succeeded? I don't know. Nor can I see how to add some code to find out. Can anyone offer any advice on what this means and/or how to investigate? Cheers, John Lumby

Changing the default delivery mailbox to something other than INBOX
by Ron Garret 18 Jan '21

18 Jan '21

Is there an easy way (i.e. a built-in configuration setting) to change the name of the mailbox that the dovecot LDA delivers mail into? The default is INBOX but I’d like mail to be delivered to some other mailbox. The reason for this is that I want all incoming mail to be invisible to the user by default until it has been screened for viruses and spam. I know I could do this with Sieve, but that is a PITA. More details in case anyone is interested: The goal of this filter is to make it work with very little training. To bootstrap the process, the filter is given access to outgoing mail (via a milter) which it uses as a reliable training corpus for good messages. It then leverages that information to filter incoming messages. For example, messages from senders which have been the recipients of outgoing messages are presumed to be good. There is also a spam honeypot to provide a reliable spam corpus. One of the heuristics I want to use is to look for the same subject line in multiple messages from unknown users received over a period of an hour or so because those are almost invariably spam. But that requires a time delay between when a message is received and when it is filtered, and that in turn requires a place to store messages for a while before they are processed. While they are in that temporary storage, I don’t want them in the user’s face, but I do want them to be accessible if the user wants to see them (e.g. if they know that an important message is coming in which may be stuck in the temp storage). So I’d like to make something like an INCOMING mailbox where all mail is delivered. The messages in INCOMING are scanned by the filter and moved to Junk or INBOX as appropriate. Thanks, rg

fts_solr: Indexing failed (fails on particular messages/mailboxes by timeout)
by Alexey Panov 18 Jan '21

18 Jan '21

Hello, I am running recent dovecot 2.3.13 (89f716dc2) within dockerized mailcow setup. During just another update routine I decided to reindex all mailboxes and some of them fail (timeout) on exactly SAME messages in SAME mailboxes: > doveadm(u@d): Error: fts_solr: Indexing failed: Request timed out (Request queued 73.213 secs ago, 1 send attempts in 73.098 secs, 60.597 in http ioloop, 0.000 in other ioloops, connected 127.875 secs ago) > doveadm(u@d): Error: Mailbox Sent: Mail search failed: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2021-01-14 11:23:46] > doveadm(u@d): Error: Mailbox Sent: Transaction commit failed: FTS transaction commit failed: backend deinit This error is persistent and affects only some, but always same folders of same mailboxes (i mean solr can't finish indexing them at all). I/O is in perfect condition and has no corruptions. I also tried to do fts rescan which made no change. RAM is fine, I haven't seen OOM conditions. During my research I found this discussion <https://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg76944.html> which lead me idea of reducing the batch_size to as low as 10 (for testing purposes). Observing SOLR logs during reindexing on the mailbox/folder causing the error I noticed the following strange behaviour. Firstly, it goes very fast but then always kinda freezes on these messages: > solr-mailcow_1 | 2021-01-14 16:05:09.615 INFO (qtp524223214-1151) [ x:dovecot-fts] o.a.s.u.p.LogUpdateProcessorFactory [dovecot-fts] webapp=/solr path=/update params={}{add=[6883/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773188952064), 6884/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773203632128), 6885/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773218312192), 6886/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773227749376), 6887/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773237186560), 6888/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773244526592), 6889/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773250818048), 6890/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773259206656), 6891/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773272838144), 6892/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773288566784)]} 0 101 > solr-mailcow_1 | 2021-01-14 16:06:42.540 INFO (qtp524223214-1143) [ x:dovecot-fts] o.a.s.u.p.LogUpdateProcessorFactory [dovecot-fts] webapp=/solr path=/update params={}{add=[6893/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773329461248), 6894/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878773332606976), 6895/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878774361260032), 6896/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878850290745344), 6897/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878851347709952), 6898/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878852404674560), 6899/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878853586419712), 6900/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878870704422912), 6901/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878870709665792), 6902/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688878870727491584)]} 0 92891 It takes almost one and a half minute to get those ten messages (6893-6902) indexed.

Interestingly, exactly at the time mentioned in the error message (2021-01-14 17:09:40, i.e. 16:06:40 - I don’t know why timezone differs) a message about indexing of a single message 7463 arrives (which is actually NEXT message to the block that gets indexed 20 seconds later). The whole mailbox consists of 8530 messages and doveadm/solr can’t finish indexing it at all starting over and over. Can you please help me understanding the reason of this behaviour? P.S. Is there any possibility to determine what message in vmail maildir corresponds to solr log, e.g. to 7463/78a0ec27b091da5e4054000013681708/u@d (1688879057103486976) ? Thanks, Programmierus

Maybe errno was actually 0 and call succeeded? I don't know. Nor can I see how to add some code to find out. Can anyone offer any advice on what this means and/or how to investigate?

The use of %w in password_query leads to "Failed to expand plugin setting" error
by Filidor Wiese 16 Jan '21

16 Jan '21

Hi, I'm trying to convert my existing users to a more modern password scheme by following the how-to at https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/ConvertPasswordSchemes. One of the steps is to include the use of '%w' in the password_query, like so: password_query = \ SELECT domain, password, '%w' AS userdb_plain_pass, \ domain as userdb_domain, concat('*:storage=', quota) AS userdb_quota_rule, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid, '/home/%d/%n' as userdb_home \ FROM users WHERE (catch='%n' AND domain='%d') and also to configure: userdb { driver = prefetch } in order to combine the user/password_query into one. Now that all seemed to work well, except for one thing. When a user has a % sign in their password, the following error occurs: Error: Failed to expand plugin setting plain_pass = 'Tfew3322gYEp$%5Qjk0': Unknown variable '%Q' Which indicates that dovecot is trying to expand variables in the password. As a consequence, the login process fails. Is there some way around this behavior? Thanks in advance, Filidor Wiese

Replication issue: cannot delete or rename folders
by ppq＠tuta.io 15 Jan '21

15 Jan '21

Hi all, I'm trying to replace a shared NFS (rock solid, btw) with a replicated two-node setup. However I've been struggling with an issue connected in some way with the replication between the two servers (master-master). The issue is once a folder (say "aaa") is created one one account, it cannot be renamed or deleted. If deleted, it will instantly reappear (when replication is running) or when renamed to "bbb", the operation will fail with an error like the one below: Jan 15 18:21:22 ms1 dovecot: dsync-local(test2(a)mydomain.ext)<JtJJARLPAWBPJAAAxdOQ8Q>: Error: rename(/var/vmail-local/mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.bbb <http://mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.bbb>, /var/vmail-local/mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.aaa <http://mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.aaa>) failed: Directory not empty Jan 15 18:21:22 ms1 dovecot: dsync-local(test2(a)mydomain.ext)<JtJJARLPAWBPJAAAxdOQ8Q>: Error: rename(/var/vmail-local/mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.bbb <http://mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.bbb>, /var/vmail-local/mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.aaa <http://mydomain.ext/test2/idx/.aaa>) failed: Directory not empty I can see that the index directory contains both the .aaa and .bbb index directories with dovecot.log files inside. If I stop the one of the nodes all works nicely and I can create, delete and rename folders at will. My setup is as below. dovecot --version -> 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4) the indexes are in a separate directory on /var/vmail-local/ (performance reasons). the mail spool is mounted on /var/vmail/ One node has local disks for everything. It runs with mmap_disable=no, mail_fsync=optimized, mail_nfs_storage=no, mail_nfs_index=no The other node has an NFS based /var/vmail/ and local disks for indexes. On this node I'm using the following settings: mmap_disable=yes, mail_fsync=always, mail_nfs_storage=yes, mail_nfs_index=no The nfs server is v4 The two servers are "orchestrated" by a two-node director cluster. I'm sure I'm missing or misconfigured something. The doveconf -n config is, part from the NFS quick, the same on both nodes as follows: -------- # 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 () doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (2012) doveconf: Warning: service anvil { client_limit=1000 } is lower than required under max. load (1515) # OS: Linux 5.4.78-2-pve x86_64 Debian 10.7 # Hostname: dovecot1.mydomain.ext auth_master_user_separator = + auth_mechanisms = plain login default_process_limit = 500 disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it doveadm_port = 12727 imap_capability = +SPECIAL-USE XLIST listen = *,[::] lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " login_trusted_networks = 172.16.20.0/24 172.16.30.0/24 mail_fsync = always mail_max_userip_connections = 100 mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = quota notify replication lazy_expunge acl mail_privileged_group = vmail mmap_disable = yes namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox EXPUNGED { autoexpunge = 1 days autoexpunge_max_mails = 20 } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = . } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes result_success = continue } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/dovecot.acl lazy_expunge = EXPUNGED mail_replica = tcp:172.16.30.100:12727 quota = dict:user::file:/var/vmail/%d/%n/.quotausage quota_rule = EXPUNGED:ignore quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full quota_status_success = DUNNO sieve = /var/vmail/%d/%n/.sieve sieve_after = /var/vmail/%d/%n/.ispconfig.sieve sieve_before = /var/vmail/%d/%n/.ispconfig-before.sieve sieve_max_actions = 100 sieve_max_redirects = 25 sieve_max_script_size = 2M } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { group = root mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { group = root mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } user = root } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12727 } } service imap-login { client_limit = 1000 process_limit = 512 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service quota-status { client_limit = 1 executable = quota-status -p postfix unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/quota-status { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service stats { unix_listener stats-reader { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } unix_listener stats-writer { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/mail.mydomain.ext/fullchain.pem <http://mail.mydomain.ext/fullchain.pem> ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { auth_verbose = yes mail_plugins = quota imap_quota notify replication lazy_expunge acl } protocol pop3 { auth_verbose = yes mail_plugins = quota notify replication lazy_expunge acl pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve quota notify replication lazy_expunge acl postmaster_address = postmaster(a)dovecot1.mydomain.ext } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota sieve notify replication lazy_expunge acl postmaster_address = postmaster(a)dovecot1.mydomain.ext } -------------- My sql config is this: --- password_query = SELECT email as user, password, maildir as userdb_home, CONCAT( maildir_format, ':', maildir, '/', IF(maildir_format='maildir','Maildir',maildir_format)) as userdb_mail, uid as userdb_uid, gid as userdb_gid, CONCAT('*:storage=', quota, 'B') AS userdb_quota_rule, CONCAT(maildir, '/.sieve') as userdb_sieve FROM mail_user WHERE (login = '%u' OR email = '%u') AND `disable%Ls` = 'n' AND server_id = '20' AND EXISTS (SELECT domain_id FROM mail_domain WHERE domain = '%d' AND active = 'y' AND server_id = 20) user_query = SELECT email as user, maildir as home, CONCAT( maildir_format, ':', maildir, '/', IF(maildir_format='maildir','Maildir',maildir_format),':INDEX=/var/vmail-local/%d/%n/idx') as mail, uid, gid, CONCAT('*:storage=', quota, 'B') AS quota_rule, CONCAT(maildir, '/.sieve') as sieve FROM mail_user WHERE (login = '%u' OR email = '%u') AND `disable%Ls` = 'n' AND server_id = '20' --- Best regards,Dave

doveadm, userdb, and ssl=any-cert
by Felipe Gasper 15 Jan '21

15 Jan '21

Hello, We have a server that answers userdb queries for Dovecot. As of 2.3.11 we’re finding that if proxying fields like `ssl=any-cert` are in a userdb response for doveadm, then doveadm complains about not recognizing that field, e.g.: ----- doveadm(_mainaccount(a)xferme.tld): Error: User lookup failed: Invalid settings in userdb: Invalid userdb input 'ssl=any-cert': Invalid value: any-cert doveadm(_mainaccount(a)xferme.tld): Warning: Event 0x55a3f911b9c0 leaked (parent=(nil)): mail-storage-service.c:1335 ----- We can avoid sending this field in response when doveadm is the requesting service, but was this apparent change in 2.3.11 intended? Thank you! cheers, -Felipe Gasper

Authentication segfault with Dovecot 2.3.13
by Harald Leithner 14 Jan '21

14 Jan '21

Hi, we have a problem upgrading Dovecot from 2.2 to 2.3.13 on one server it seems one user triggers a segfault while trying to authenticate. The user works fine with 2.2.36.4, our last update try mid-late 2020 was aborted because of this reason. While debugging the problem we noticed that the "auth_debug_passwords = no" option doesn't work at least in our logfiles are the passwords logged. We replaced the password in the log with "THIS_SHOULD_NOT_GET_LOGGED" and the user part with "user@redacted". The user uses APOP for authentication, but other users login successfully with APOP. Here is a stacktrace and a log dump: Jan 6 16:29:44 mail kernel: auth[2208397]: segfault at ec ip 00007f67fc147174 sp 00007ffeed993150 error 4 in libdovecot.so.0.0.0[7f67fc06e000+fc000] Jan 6 16:29:44 mail kernel: Code: 1f 80 00 00 00 00 41 54 e8 79 fd ff ff 31 f6 49 89 c4 48 89 c7 31 c0 e8 ca f8 ff ff 4c 89 e0 41 5c c3 0f 1f 40 00 53 48 89 fb <f6> 87 ec 00 00 00 04 75 43 48 83 3d 7b aa 0a 00 00 0f 85 50 15 f4 Jan 6 16:29:44 mail systemd[1]: Started Process Core Dump (PID 2208677/UID 0).

Dovecot v2.3.13 released
by Aki Tuomi 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

We are pleased to release v2.3.13. Please find it from locations below: https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.13.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.13.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- * CVE-2020-24386: Specially crafted command can cause IMAP hibernate to allow logged in user to access other people's emails and filesystem information. * Metric filter and global event filter variable syntax changed to a SQL-like format. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/event_filter/ * auth: Added new aliases for %{variables}. Usage of the old ones is possible, but discouraged. * auth: Removed RPA auth mechanism, SKEY auth mechanism, NTLM auth mechanism and related password schemes. * auth: Removed passdb-sia, passdb-vpopmail and userdb-vpopmail. * auth: Removed postfix postmap socket + auth: Added new fields for auth server events. These fields are now also available for all auth events. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#authentication-server for details. + imap-hibernate: Added imap_client_hibernated, imap_client_unhibernated and imap_client_unhibernate_retried events. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/ for details. + lib-index: Added new mail_index_recreated event. See https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#mail-index-recreated + lib-sql: Support TLS options for cassandra driver. This requires cpp-driver v2.15 (or later) to work reliably. + lib-storage: Missing $HasAttachment / $HasNoAttachment flags are now added to existing mails if mail_attachment_detection_option=add-flags and it can be done inexpensively. + login proxy: Added login_proxy_max_reconnects setting (default 3) to control how many reconnections are attempted. + login proxy: imap/pop3/submission/managesieve proxying now supports reconnection retrying on more than just connect() failure. Any error except a non-temporary authentication failure will result in reconnect attempts. - auth: Lua passdb/userdb leaks stack elements per call, eventually causing the stack to become too deep and crashing the auth or auth-worker process. - auth: SASL authentication PLAIN mechanism could be used to trigger read buffer overflow. However, this doesn't seem to be exploitable in any way. - auth: v2.3.11 regression: GSSAPI authentication fails because dovecot disallows NUL bytes for it. - dict: Process used too much CPU when iterating keys, because each key used a separate write() syscall. - doveadm-server: Crash could occur if logging was done outside command handling. For example http-client could have done debug logging afterwards, resulting in either segfault or Panic: file http-client.c: line 642 (http_client_context_close): assertion failed: (cctx->clients_list == NULL). - doveadm-server: v2.3.11 regression: Trying to connect to doveadm server process via starttls assert-crashed if there were no ssl=yes listeners: Panic: file master-service-ssl.c: line 22 (master_service_ssl_init): assertion failed: (service->ssl_ctx_initialized). - fts-solr: HTTP requests may have assert-crashed: Panic: file http-client-request.c: line 1232 (http_client_request_send_more): assertion failed: (req->payload_input != NULL) - imap: IMAP NOTIFY could crash with a segmentation fault due to a bad configuration that causes errors. Sending the error responses to the client can cause the segmentation fault. This can for example happen when several namespaces use the same mail storage location. - imap: IMAP NOTIFY used on a shared namespace that doesn't actually exist (e.g. public namespace for a nonexistent user) can crash with a panic: Panic: Leaked view for index /tmp/home/asdf/mdbox/dovecot.list.index: Opened in (null):0 - imap: IMAP session can crash with QRESYNC extension if many changes are done before asking for expunged mails since last sync. - imap: Process might hang indefinitely if client disconnects after sending some long-running commands pipelined, for example FETCH+LOGOUT. - lib-compress: Mitigate crashes when configuring a not compiled in compression. Errors with compression configuration now distinguish between not supported and unknown. - lib-compression: Using xz/lzma compression in v2.3.11 could have written truncated output in some situations. This would result in "Broken pipe" read errors when trying to read it back. - lib-compression: zstd compression could have crashed in some situations: Panic: file ostream.c: line 287 (o_stream_sendv_int): assertion failed: (!stream->blocking) - lib-dict: dict client could have crashed in some rare situations when iterating keys. - lib-http: Fix several assert-crashes in HTTP client. - lib-index: v2.3.11 regression: When mails were expunged at the same time as lots of new content was being saved to the cache (e.g. cache file was lost and is being re-filled) a deadlock could occur with dovecot.index.cache / dovecot.index.log. - lib-index: v2.3.11 regression: dovecot.index.cache file was being purged (rewritten) too often when it had a field that hadn't been accessed for over 1 month, but less than 2 months. Every cache file change caused a purging in this situation. - lib-mail: MIME parts were not returned correctly by Dovecot MIME parser. Regression caused by fixing CVE-2020-12100. - lib-mail: When max nested MIME parts were reached, IMAP BODYSTRUCTURE was written in a way that may have caused confusion for both IMAP clients and Dovecot itself when parsing it. The truncated part is now written out using application/octet-stream MIME type. - lib-mail: v2.3.11 regression: Mail delivery / parsing crashed when the 10000th MIME part was message/rfc822 (or if parent was multipart/digest): Panic: file message-parser.c: line 167 (message_part_append): assertion failed: (ctx->total_parts_count <= ctx->max_total_mime_parts). - lib-oauth2: Dovecot incorrectly required oauth2 server introspection reply to contain username with invalid token. - lib-ssl-iostream, lib-dcrypt: Fix building with OpenSSL that has deprecated APIs disabled. - lib-storage: When mail's size is different from the cached one (in dovecot.index.cache or Maildir S=size in the filename), this is handled by logging "Cached message size smaller/larger than expected" error. However, in some situations this also ended up crashing with: Panic: file istream.c: line 315 (i_stream_read_memarea): assertion failed: (old_size <= _stream->pos - _stream->skip). - lib-storage: v2.3 regression: Copying/moving mails was taking much more memory than before. This was mainly visible when copying/moving thousands of mails in a single transaction. - lib-storage: v2.3.11 regression: Searching messages assert-crashed (without FTS): Panic: file message-parser.c: line 174 (message_part_finish): assertion failed: (ctx->nested_parts_count > 0). - lib: Dovecot v2.3 moved signal handlers around in ioloops, causing more CPU usage than in v2.2. - lib: Fixed JSON parsing: '\' escape sequence may have wrongly resulted in error if it happened to be at read boundary. Any NUL characters and '\u0000' will now result in parsing error instead of silently truncating the data. - lmtp, submission: Server may hang if SSL client connection disconnects during the delivery. If this happened repeated, it could have ended up reaching process_limit and preventing any further lmtp/submission deliveries. - lmtp: Proxy does not always properly log TLS connection problems as errors; in some cases, only a debug message is logged if enabled. - lmtp: The LMTP service can hang when commands are pipelined. This can particularly occur when one command in the middle of the pipeline fails. One example of this occurs for proxied LMTP transactions in which the final DATA or BDAT command is pipelined after a failing RCPT command. - login-proxy: The login_source_ips setting has no effect, and therefore the proxy source IPs are not cycled through as they should be. - master: Process was using 100% CPU in some situations when a broken service was being throttled. - pop3-login: POP3 login would fail with "Input buffer full" if the initial response for SASL was too long. - stats: Crash would occur when generating openmetrics data for metrics using aggregating functions.

migration with doveadm backup to new cluster running dovecot 2.2.36 and replicator
by Thomas Winterstein 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

Hello everyone, we are working on migrating from dovecot 2.0.9 (maildir) to 2.2.36 (mdbox). The new cluster has two backend mail servers which replicate through doveadm replicator. To move the data initially we use doveadm backup (imapc). Our migration command doveadm -o mail_fsync=never backup -R -u $user imapc: To test the replication of new and purge of old mails with live data changes we ran imapc on a daily basis but encountered the problem that some mailboxes multiplied in size. We then made sure that imapc and replication don't run at the same time but after the first incremental imapc process, we still had the same problems. The doveadm-backup man-page states that it's possible to run it multiple times during migration. But is it also possible to have the replicator running in between? From our understanding the doveadm backup should just work as an imap connection between the servers, synchronizing all changes made on the source to the destination. Or does the conversion from maildir to mdbox format in our case produce the problems? If you're not supposed to run the replicator before having fully migrated, how can we shorten the downtime? rsync? And how can we be sure that similar problems don't occur after the migration if we can't test all mechanisms together with live data? thanks -- Thomas Winterstein

Dovecot FST not using plugins
by Joan Moreau 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

Hello, With recent git version of dovecot, I can see that the FTS does not use the configured plugin anymore, but tries to sort the mailbox directly on the spot (which is of course very painful). Is there a change in the configuration file in order to recover the old behavior ? or something else has changed ? Thank you Joan

Remap login before authentication
by Miloslav Hůla 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

Hi, with Dovecot 2.3.4 I would like to allow user to login with two different usernames: - USERNAME (no domain) - now works - name.surname(a)domain.tld - would like to add Problem is, that the only authentication method I have is LDAP bind by USERNAME. Now I use: ============ passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext } # Args uris = ldaps://ldap.domain.tld auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,dc=domain,dc=tld base = ============ I know passdb can remap user&domain, but I have no password hash at all. And for example '{SASL}' is not supported password scheme to return e.g. from SQL passdb. Is there any way how to achive this? Maybe somehow remap username in first passdb and then continue to LDAP bind? 1. login as name.surname(a)domain.tld 2. remap to USERNAME 3. do the LDAP bind Milo

Re: status of test code

Update:I was finally able to build 2.3.13 on centos 8 (8.3). I managed this by going back to the qmailtoaster spec file, removing a few things no longer relevant (vpopmail) and disabling all the tests. Most tests were still running but there were also many that did not. The good news is the resulting executable in the RPM no longer complains about not being able to find libdovecot.so. i've done some basic testing on imap and everything appears to be working.Someone who maintains the tests and rpm build should really have a look. Doing a build on a fresh centos 8 machine, as I was able to with the qmailtoaster source rpm, should really be much simpler. My impression is the current spec file may have edits that were eroneously committed? SteveSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device------ Original message------From: steve(a)keptprivate.comDate: Sat, Jan 9, 2021 3:42 PMTo: dovecot(a)dovecot.org;Cc: Subject:status of test codeHi, I'm continuing to try to build 2.3.13 with a source RPM. At this point I've taken the source zip file and I'm working with the previously working qmailtoaster SPEC file and RPM build process. The toaster SPEC file runs the built-in dovecot tests after build... 2.3.11 would make it through all the tests with a few minor exceptions. 2.3.13 seems no longer able to run the test is lib-ssl-iostream or lib-lua (and perhaps others, but that's as far as I've gotten). I can selectively disable the tests to make progress, but it raises the question of what the plans are for the built-in tests. Also, I continue to not be able to find where all the testing is turned on/off at once? I'm sure it will be obvious when someone tells me but please tell me, because I'm pulling my hair out. Steve

lzma mdboxes with unexpected EOF
by Bjoern Franke 10 Jan '21

10 Jan '21

Hi, I'm running dovecot 2.3.13 (until 05.01. it was 2.3.11.3) on Arch Linux and used lzma compressed mdboxes. Yesterday a user called me that she is missing all mails from the beginning of the month until now. I took a look into the logs and saw several "lzma.read [...] unexpected EOF at <....>". As I had no clue why the mdboxes are broken, I tried to convert all 3 mailboxes to Maildir using "doveadm sync" to prevent further issues and stumbled upon several lzma errors for mdbox files of my own user. So I wrote a script which took the offset and size via "doveadm dump" und then dds the xz parts out of the broken mdboxes and extracts them via 7z. But I'm wondering why that happened at all. I stumpled upon [1] but there was no further discussion about it. Best Regards Bjoern [1]https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2019-September/117007.html

auth error log format change
by Adrian Minta 10 Jan '21

Hi, we recently upgraded to 2.3.13 from 2.3.11 and the log format for auth errors seems to have change. This change may have an adverse effect on fail2ban rules. Is there a way to revert to old format ? Thank you ! Old log example: Jan 10 00:32:37 mail dovecot: auth-worker(50806): sql(name(a)domain,112.18.92.0.104,<Dg/+P3+49cMFt1xo>): Password mismatch Jan 10 03:20:02 mail dovecot: auth-worker(26057): sql(name(a)domain,112.18.92.0.104,<oMyxloG4M7AFt1xo>): Password mismatch New log example: Jan 10 00:32:37 mail dovecot: auth-worker(50806): conn unix:auth-worker (pid=22503,uid=0): auth-worker<585236>: sql(name(a)domain,112.18.92.0.104,<Dg/+P3+49cMFt1xo>): Password mismatch Jan 10 03:20:02 mail dovecot: auth-worker(26057): conn unix:auth-worker (pid=25928,uid=0): auth-worker<4234337>: sql(name(a)domain,112.18.92.0.104,<oMyxloG4M7AFt1xo>): Password mismatch -- Best regards, Adrian Minta

problem building on centos 8 (8.3 kernel)

Hi,Yes, a whole subdir "dovecot" in /usr/lib64 with files. The actual so.0 file is a link to an so.0.0.0 file.I was able to successfully build test run the source rpm from qmailtoaster 2.3.11.I'm building from source because I have a patch I want to apply. My suspicion is the problem is config. related given the odd lsb_release issue that happens right at the start of the build.I've tried to review the spec files for differences, qmailtoaster 2.3.11 vs 2.3.13 but the differences are significant.SteveSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device------ Original message------From: Aki TuomiDate: Thu, Jan 7, 2021 3:10 AMTo: steve@keptprivate.com;dovecot@dovecot.org;Cc: Subject:Re: problem building on centos 8 (8.3 kernel)> On 07/01/2021 03:57 steve(a)keptprivate.com wrote: > > > Hi, > > I'm converting from qmailtoaster/vpopmail build. > When I try to build dovecot-2.3.13-2.src.rpm for centos 8.3 the first thing I run into is this: > > + sed -i 's|/etc/ssl|/etc/pki/dovecot|' doc/mkcert.sh doc/example-config/conf.d/10-ssl.conf > + '[' -e buildinfo.commit ']' > ++ head -1 buildinfo.commit > + COMMIT=89f716dc2ec7362864a368d32533184b55fb7831 > ++ /bin/sh /home/build/rpmbuild/SOURCES/lsb_release -is > /bin/sh: /home/build/rpmbuild/SOURCES/lsb_release: No such file or directory > + ID= > error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WFaLYQ (%build) > > > RPM build errors: > Macro expanded in comment on line 455: %{_libdir}/dovecot/settings > > Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WFaLYQ (%build) > > I can get past this with an edit to the dovecot.spec file (removing sourcedir): > > if [ -e "buildinfo.commit" ]; then > COMMIT=`head -1 buildinfo.commit` > ID=`/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -is` > RELEASE=`/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -rs` > CODENAME=`/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -cs` > ARCH=`arch` > fi > > The RPM builds but it fails to run with this message in the logs: > > Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: Starting Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server... > Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: Started Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server. > Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 dovecot[356909]: /usr/sbin/dovecot: error while loading shared libraries: libdovecot.so.0: cannot open shared object > file: No such file or directory > Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=127/n/a > Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. > > Any ideas what I have going wrong? > > Also, a side question, when I build the rpm it's not running the extensive tests that the old qmailtoaster source rpm used to run.

Server searches not working for 1 user only
by Ignacio García 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

Hi there I'm using dovecot version 2.3.4.1 precompiled in Debian stretch-backports (with Maildir, and Lucene FTS). Everything seems to be running fine but server searches by one user (precisely me) using roundcube 1.4.8. For all other checked users server searches work fine. My account is not particularly differnt from others, aprox same amount of mail. The only difference with others is that I use/check my mail constantly and from different devices at the same time (roundcube, a couple of instances of Thunderbird and Aquamail for Android always open). I only use IMAP. Googling around I read about deleting cache/index files with Dovecot recreating them automagically, but since I haven't found anything official on the Wiki, before I do something potentially stupid I wanted to confirm with you all for guidance on this Thanks so much in advance Ignacio

systemd-homed
by Yilin Wei 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

Hi, I’ve been looking into a problem with a local dovecot setup with ~systemd-homed~ and uses PAM authentication. To give a brief overview, ~systemd-homed~ mounts the users home directory upon particular authencation calls (which is configurable through ~/etc/pam.d~). Dovecot currently supports PAM authentication perfectly fine — the problem comes when a system has systemd-homed. This is because the session is created and deleted immediately afterwards [1]. This is a problem because if the server isn’t busy, systemd-homed can run it’s cleanup which causes the home directory to be unavailable once again [2]. To support this properly, ideally the whole of the imap/pop3/lda session needs to happen before the deletion of the session. Does the imap session happen within a ~verify_plain~ [3] call? If not, are there any other authentication backends which currently need to keep a live token?

But here in folder I have got this: sudo ls -la /var/mail/attachments/8b/67/ -rw-rw-rw- 3 buser dovecot 5425280 Jan 5 23:13 8b67b29a73b74ecf48e17e789051602cec13aa78cc01c06c8eee1ca4be7c8e07f700cdc9e9ca0381fa3541bdd4e26289de1d7eee763233dfaa0a200a264e5258-0258913a92f2f45f0d700000035f3f08 -rw-rw-rw- 1 cuser dovecot 5425280 Jan 5 23:13 8b67b29a73b74ecf48e17e789051602cec13aa78cc01c06c8eee1ca4be7c8e07f700cdc9e9ca0381fa3541bdd4e26289de1d7eee763233dfaa0a200a264e5258-28571b018ff2f45f0c700000035f3f08 -rw-rw-rw- 3 buser dovecot 5425280 Jan 5 23:13 8b67b29a73b74ecf48e17e789051602cec13aa78cc01c06c8eee1ca4be7c8e07f700cdc9e9ca0381fa3541bdd4e26289de1d7eee763233dfaa0a200a264e5258-50315d3a8ef2f45f0a700000035f3f08 -rw-rw-rw- 1 auser dovecot 5425280 Jan 5 23:13 8b67b29a73b74ecf48e17e789051602cec13aa78cc01c06c8eee1ca4be7c8e07f700cdc9e9ca0381fa3541bdd4e26289de1d7eee763233dfaa0a200a264e5258-586cdb378ef2f45f07700000035f3f08 drwxrwsrwx 2 buser dovecot 4096 Jan 5 23:13 hashes sudo ls -la /var/mail/attachments/8b/67/hashes/ -rw-rw-rw- 3 buser dovecot 5425280 Jan 5 23:13 8b67b29a73b74ecf48e17e789051602cec13aa78cc01c06c8eee1ca4be7c8e07f700cdc9e9ca0381fa3541bdd4e26289de1d7eee763233dfaa0a200a264e5258 What is wrog?
