child killed by signal 6
by Peter Nabbefeld 26 May '20

26 May '20

Hello, from time to time I keep getting problems with some emails causing signal 6. I've already reported those, but it seems not to be easy to find the cause. From the logs, it seems to occur in sieve implementation. I've checked the email envelopes tody by accident, probably this part of my telnet session might help: a11 fetch 1 all * 1 FETCH (RFC822.SIZE 16750 INTERNALDATE "22-May-2020 05:02:34 +0000" ENVELOPE ("Fri, 22 May 2020 03:46:54 +0000" "RE: Http2 tomact server taking time in responding when 1st StreamId is a large integer value like 2147483641" (("Prateek Kohli" NIL "prateek.kohli" "ericsson.com.INVALID")) (("Prateek Kohli" NIL "prateek.kohli" "ericsson.com.INVALID")) (("Tomcat Users List" NIL "users" "tomcat.apache.org")) (("Tomcat Users List" NIL "users" "tomcat.apache.org")) NIL NIL "<d778507f-306b-5395-b583-fc1f2651431d(a)apache.org>" " <DB7PR07MB40285E61F0731810A615E3FB92B40(a)DB7PR07MB4028.eurprd07.prod.outlook.com>") FLAGS (\Seen)) a11 OK FETCH completed a12 fetch 2 all * 2 FETCH (RFC822.SIZE 21146 INTERNALDATE "22-May-2020 06:39:54 +0000" ENVELOPE ("Fri, 22 May 2020 06:39:35 +0000" "RE: RST on TCP level sent by Tomcat" (("Arshiya Shariff" NIL "arshiya.shariff" "ericsson.com.INVALID")) (("Arshiya Shariff" NIL "arshiya.shariff" "ericsson.com.INVALID")) (("Tomcat Users List" NIL "users" "tomcat.apache.org")) (("Tomcat Users List" NIL "users" "tomcat.apache.org")) (("markt(a)apache.org" NIL "markt" "apache.org")("M Venkata Pratap M" NIL "m.m.venkata.pratap" "ericsson.com")) NIL " <AM7PR07MB6561761FA78F23F5AAF398399FB70(a)AM7PR07MB6561.eurprd07.prod.outlook.com>" " <AM7PR07MB65615CD03F422AC8D8384FC09FB40(a)AM7PR07MB6561.eurprd07.prod.outlook.com>") FLAGS ()) a12 OK FETCH completed The first message causes signal 6, the second does not. Probably the problem is killed by the two consecutive "NIL"s? I'm not an experienced administrator, only managing my private computer, so I don't know the meaning of every envelope field. But might these two "NIL"s cause the abort? BTW, to download all messages from my IMAP account to my private dovecot instance I had to delete the first message, since I couldn't download any other messages from the IMAP folder otherwise. Kind regards Peter

Sieve test string and case sensitivity
by Kim Minh Kaplan 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hello, I have found that Pigeonhole comes with an extensive testsuite against the Sieve RFCs. As I am working on a personal Sieve project I decided to run my tool on this testsuite and it stumbled on "Basic assignment: string test failed"[1]. Pigeonhole defaults to comparator "i;octet"[2] for the string test. But Sieve says that the default comparator should be "i;ascii-casemap"[3]. Did I miss some other part of the standard? Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you, Kim Minh.

Sieve addheader directive works only partially
by Peter Folta 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hi all, I want to add a custom header to incoming emails from a particular sender. This is what my user Sieve script looks like: require “editheader”; if address :is "From” “special-sender(a)example.xn--com-9o0a { addheader “X-My-Custom-Header” “Header Value"; } I have enabled the editheader extension in my Dovecot configuration: plugin { … sieve_extensions = +editheader } This doesn’t seem to work and no header is added to the email. However, if I also move the email to a different folder in the same if-block, the header gets added just fine: require “editheader”; require “fileinto”; if address :is "From” “special-sender(a)example.xn--com-9o0a { addheader “X-My-Custom-Header” “Header Value”; fileinto “MyFolder”; } Am I missing something? Thanks Peter

missing man page for “doveadm dsync-server”?
by Felipe Gasper 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hello, Is there a man page for this command? I don’t see one in the repository. Given its utility in, e.g., syncing mailboxes via SSH, it seems like documentation for this command would be useful? Thank you! -Felipe Gasper

Dovecot passdb and postfix login
by Laura Smith 24 May '20

24 May '20

Hi, Long story short I've got a fully functional Dovecot IMAP instance and I am now looking to upgrade some perimiter authenticated SMTP relays to authenticate against the Dovecot instance. Trouble is that I am seeing errors such as "auth: Warning: sql: Ignoring changed user_query in /etc/dovecot/local_sql_users.conf, because userdb sql not used." in my Postfix server logs and not able to successfully authenticate via AUTH LOGIN on the Postfi instance. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious from my config ? Here is the doveconf -n from the Postfix server in question: # 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.19.0-9-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.4 # Hostname: foobar.example.com auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = sha1:7 disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u 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/local_sql_users.conf driver = sql } service auth { inet_listener { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 7425 } inet_listener { address = ::1 port = 7425 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-authrelay/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl = no The local_sql_users.conf is the same one that's used on the functioning IMAP servers, just copied accross to the authenticated relay server: $ sudo cat /etc/dovecot/local_sql_users.conf driver = pgsql connect = host=foo dbname=bar user=secret password=squirrel default_pass_scheme = ARGON2ID password_query = select dovecot_username as user,password from get_user('%u') user_query = select 'vmail' as uid, 'vmail' as gid iterate_query = select dovecot_username as user from get_users()

Sieve regexp matches wrong
by kverizhnikov 23 May '20

23 May '20

Hello! Recently I've faced with strange issue. So, I want to filter some mails which do not contain cyrillic symbols. I would not like receive email on foreign language except russian and I'm using rule below, but it does not work when text of mail has unicode symbol u2019 or ’ - right single quotation mark. |require ["body","regex"];| |# rule:[Regexp test]| |if not body :text :regex ".*[аАбБвВгГдДеЕёЁжЖзЗиИйЙкКлЛмМнНоОпПрРсСтТуУфФхХцЦчЧшШщЩъЪыЫьЬэЭюЮяЯ].*"| |{| | discard;| | stop;| |}| I checked this behavior on different versions of dovecot and pigeonhole, and it was the same in all cases. If I change u2019 to, for instance to apostrophe, it begins work as I expect - the mail discarded. Below some information which was got from sieve-test utility. The text consist of only one phrase *Test’test*. Check string *Test’test *- without u2019, using apostrophe root@a4e4b17d33a1:/srv/mail# tail -2 1586937347.M574837P24389.vps.kveri.ru\,S\=1904\,W\=1944\:2\,S Test'test sieve-test output * Script metadata (block: 0): class = file class.version = 0 location = /srv/mail/roundcube.sieve * Required extensions (block: 1): 0: body (id: 18) 1: regex (id: 13) * Main program (block: 2): Address Line Code 00000000: DEBUG BLOCK: 3 00000001: EXTENSIONS [2]: 00000002: body 00000004: regex 00000006: 3: BODY 00000007: BODY-TRANSFORM: TEXT 0000000b: match type: regex 0000000d: key list: STR[138] ".*[аАбБвВгГдДеЕёЁжЖзЗиИйЙкКлЛмМнНоОпПрРс... 0000009b: 3: JMPTRUE 6 [000000a2] 000000a0: 5: DISCARD 000000a1: 6: STOP 000000a2: 6: [End of code] Performed actions: * discard Implicit keep: (none) In this case the rule works as I expect The second test *Test’test* with ’ instead of apostrophe root@a4e4b17d33a1:/srv/mail# tail -2 1586937347.M574837P24389.vps.kveri.ru\,S\=1904\,W\=1944\:2\,S Test’test sieve-test output * Script metadata (block: 0): class = file class.version = 0 location = /srv/mail/roundcube.sieve * Required extensions (block: 1): 0: body (id: 18) 1: regex (id: 13) * Main program (block: 2): Address Line Code 00000000: DEBUG BLOCK: 3 00000001: EXTENSIONS [2]: 00000002: body 00000004: regex 00000006: 3: BODY 00000007: BODY-TRANSFORM: TEXT 0000000b: match type: regex 0000000d: key list: STR[138] ".*[аАбБвВгГдДеЕёЁжЖзЗиИйЙкКлЛмМнНоОпПрРс... 0000009b: 3: JMPTRUE 6 [000000a2] 000000a0: 5: DISCARD 000000a1: 6: STOP 000000a2: 6: [End of code] Performed actions: (none) Implicit keep: * store message in folder: INBOX In this case email "was located" into INBOX, but I expected it should be discarded. As I said this behavior does not depend on dovecot and pigeonhole version - I've tried dovecot 2.3.7, 2.2.30.x, 2.3.9.3 and 2.3.10, pigeonhole 0.5.7.2, 0.5.9 and 0.5.10, fresh install and working in docker container. The dovecot-sysreport was taken from the last one. What am I doing wrong? Is it pigeonhole bug or smth like that?

Convert standalone mbox to standalone Maildir with Dsync - hierarchy separator error
by Sam Kuper 23 May '20

23 May '20

Dear Dovecot users/devs, I have the following mbox file: /tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September I would like to convert it to a Maildir: /tmp/dsync_test/maildir (Currently, the latter is just an empty directory.) I am attempting this on an old PC running Debian 9 ("Stretch"). I installed the dovecot-core package in order to make the `dsync` tool available on that PC. I have not otherwise done anything with Dovecot on that PC; for instance, I have not created or edited any Dovecot config files. `man dsync` gives the Dovecot version as 2.2. Inspired by the man page and the Dovecot wiki, here was my first attempt to perform the conversion. (I have added newlines between each line of the output, for readability.) $ dsync -Dv -o 'mail_location=maildir:/tmp/dsync_test/maildir' \ backup \ mbox:/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/:INBOX=/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm Debug: Skipping module doveadm_acl_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so: undefined symbol: acl_lookup_dict_iterate_visible_next (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) Debug: Skipping module doveadm_expire_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_expire_plugin.so: undefined symbol: expire_set_deinit (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) Debug: Skipping module doveadm_quota_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_quota_plugin.so: undefined symbol: quota_user_module (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) Debug: Skipping module doveadm_fts_lucene_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib20_doveadm_fts_lucene_plugin.so: undefined symbol: lucene_index_iter_deinit (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) Debug: Skipping module doveadm_fts_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib20_doveadm_fts_plugin.so: undefined symbol: fts_user_get_language_list (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) Debug: Skipping module doveadm_mail_crypt_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/libdoveadm_mail_crypt_plugin.so: undefined symbol: mail_crypt_box_get_pvt_digests (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) doveadm(sampablokuper): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/sampablokuper doveadm(sampablokuper): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/tmp/dsync_test/maildir doveadm(sampablokuper): Debug: maildir++: root=/tmp/dsync_test/maildir, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/tmp/dsync_test/maildir, alt= doveadm(sampablokuper): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /tmp/dsync_test/maildir: mode=0755 gid=default dsync(sampablokuper): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/sampablokuper dsync(sampablokuper): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mbox:/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/:INBOX=/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September dsync(sampablokuper): Debug: fs: root=/tmp/dsync_test/mbox, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September, alt= dsync(sampablokuper): Error: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) As you can see, it ends with "Error: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace)".

What causes mails to get striked-over only, and not deleted?
by Sebastian Nielsen 23 May '20

23 May '20

I have tried with this sieve config: imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Sent imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND imapsieve_mailbox1_after = file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/sent.sieve and this sieve file (sent.sieve): discard; This should clearly cause the mail to be deleted right? But whats happen, is that the mail is not deleted, its just marked for deletion (gets a strike-through in Microsoft Outlook). (have tried with _before too, but it wont help). What can I do to ensure the mail actually gets deleted (completely, not moved to trash) and not just flagged for deletion?

dsync “destination” argument
by Felipe Gasper 22 May '20

22 May '20

Hello, Some code that I didn’t write but am maintaining passes a local script’s path as dsync’s “destination” argument, like so: dsync -D -u john -v backup -R -1 "/code/dsync_client.pl" 127.0.0.1 john(a)mydomain.org dsync_client.pl establishes a TCP connection with a remote dsync process then acts as a proxy between the two dsync processes. “127.0.0.1” and “john(a)mydomain.xn--org-9o0a are given as arguments to dsync_client.pl. I don’t see this usage described in dsync’s man page. I just want to be sure: is this a supported use of dsync? Thank you! cheers, -Felipe Gasper

v2.3.10.1 released
by Aki Tuomi 21 May '20

21 May '20

We are pleased to release v2.3.10.1 Please find it from locations below: https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.10.1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.10.1.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-2020-10957: lmtp/submission: A client can crash the server by sending a NOOP command with an invalid string parameter. This occurs particularly for a parameter that doesn't start with a double quote. This applies to all SMTP services, including submission-login, which makes it possible to crash the submission service without authentication. - CVE-2020-10958: lmtp/submission: Sending many invalid or unknown commands can cause the server to access freed memory, which can lead to a server crash. This happens when the server closes the connection with a "421 Too many invalid commands" error. The bad command limit depends on the service (lmtp or submission) and varies between 10 to 20 bad commands. - CVE-2020-10967: lmtp/submission: Issuing the RCPT command with an address that has the empty quoted string as local-part causes the lmtp service to crash.

dsync multiple mailboxes per connection?
by Felipe Gasper 21 May '20

21 May '20

Hello, Is it possible to batch syncs of multiple mailboxes in a single dsync session? We’re transferring users between servers and want to use dsync to transfer the mail; ideally we’d like to avoid creating a separate TCP connection per user. Thank you! cheers, -Felipe Gasper

question about director_mail_servers setting
by Joe Wong 20 May '20

20 May '20

Hello, I have a question about director_mail_servers setting for director, I am aware that I can define a list of dovecot backend hostname there but I am not sure if the hashing apply to the hostname or underlying IP address of each hostname given? What if the IP of a specify hostname is changed? Will director pickup the new IP automatically? Will the same user hashed into the original IP still be mapped back to the new IP in this case? - Joe

Problem with tika
by Arjen Heidinga 19 May '20

19 May '20

Hello all, For some time now we've bin using solr as a search engine (working great). I have added tika for searching inside documents, however it keeps crashing when indexing. When just indexing mails that arrive works good, but a reindex on all mail constantly crashes with below stacktrace. When I observe the packets with wireshark I see a HTTP-flow going to tika and suddenly, midway a document dovecot (or the server) sends a RST. Sometimes after thousands of documents, sometimes after a few. Usually after a few hundred. It appears there are less errors using http than https. Relevant config: OS: CentOS6, fully updated plugin { fts = solr batch_size = 1 fts_solr = url=https://username:password@solr-01.vevida.net:443/solr/dovecot/ #fts_tika = https://solr-01.vevida.net:443/tika/ batch_size = 1000 fts_autoindex=yes soft_commit=no } # dovecot --version 2.3.9.3 (9f41b88fa) # Configure options: --docdir=%{_docdir}/dovecot \ --disable-static \ --with-nss \ --with-shadow \ --with-pam \ --with-gssapi=plugin \ --with-ldap=plugin \ --with-sql=plugin \ --with-pgsql \ --with-sqlite \ --with-zlib \ --with-bzlib \ --with-lzma \ --with-libcap \ --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-ssldir=%{ssldir} \ --with-solr \ --with-docs # It is compiled agains the latest openssl # Tika and Solr: Both latest versions. #Stacktrace: doveadm(info(a)samenmetrenske.nl): Info: Sent: Caching mails seq=1..161 doveadm(info(a)samenmetrenske.nl): Panic: file http-client-request.c: line 1173 (http_client_request_send_more): assertion failed: (req->payload_input != NULL) doveadm(info(a)xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.x): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_append+0x2f) [0x7f95d805acbf] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(backtrace_get+0x26) [0x7f95d805add6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xe90ba) [0x7f95d80660ba] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xe9161) [0x7f95d8066161] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x41158) [0x7f95d7fbe158] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(http_client_request_send_more+0x424) [0x7f95d8005094] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(http_client_connection_output+0x11a) [0x7f95d800a24a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libssl_iostream_openssl.so(+0x8f6a) [0x7f95d57a2f6a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x114483) [0x7f95d8091483] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x61) [0x7f95d807e581] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xdc) [0x7f95d808076c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x5c) [0x7f95d807e67c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f95d807e8c8] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x89105) [0x7f95d8006105] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(http_client_request_send_payload+0x1f) [0x7f95d80063cf] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0xd31d) [0x7f95d6ad931d] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so(fts_parser_more+0x1a) [0x7f95d6ad83ca] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so(fts_build_mail+0x761) [0x7f95d6ad6401] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0x114ca) [0x7f95d6add4ca] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_precache+0x2a) [0x7f95d835ab4a] -> doveadm(+0x31e75) [0x55e7c1052e75] -> doveadm(+0x321fb) [0x55e7c10531fb] -> doveadm(+0x2c321) [0x55e7c104d321] -> doveadm(+0x2c577) [0x55e7c104d577] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_ver2_to_mail_cmd_wrapper+0x1e8) [0x55e7c104ec38] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_run_ver2+0x52e) [0x55e7c105fafe] -> doveadm(doveadm_cmd_try_run_ver2+0x37) [0x55e7c105fb97] -> doveadm(main+0x21a) [0x55e7c1062aca] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0x100) [0x7f95d7983d20] -> doveadm(+0x1c479) [0x55e7c103d479]

doveadm backup, question
by dovecot-user 19 May '20

19 May '20

Hello everyone. I am an inexperienced user of dovecot and I faced probably a simple problem, but I still do not understand how to solve it. The issue is related to using doveadm backup - I want to backup mailboxes; make this copy on the same machine (hereinafter, files with backup copies will be taken from this machine into the storage by a separate mechanism, this is not related to the issue). I am using dovecot 2.2.27 (c0f36b0) on Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch). The options related to storing mail and attachments are as follows: mail_location = mdbox:/var/mail/%d/%n mail_attachment_dir = /var/mail/%d/%n/attach Thus, the mail of user(a)domain.tld is stored in /var/mail/domain.tld/user/, and mail attachments inside this directory, for example: /var/mail/domain.tld/user/attach. When I start copying (as root while in test mode): #doveadm backup -u "user(a)domain.tld" sdbox:/backup/domain.tld/user, copying passes, but, as I understand it, the attachments are not copied (I am judging so far by the volume of the initial storage and the received one, it should not differ VERY much, but it differs by 10 times, it seems that it’s just the total amount of attachments). Tell me, plz, how to run doveadm backup correctly so that everything is copied so that you can subsequently deploy it from the backup? Thanks.

Multiple vulnerabilities in Dovecot
by Aki Tuomi 18 May '20

18 May '20

Dear subscribers, we are sending notifications for three vulnerabilities, - CVE-2020-10957 - CVE-2020-10958 - CVE-2020-10967 Please find them below --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy ------------------ Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2020-05-18 Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-3784 Vulnerability type: NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476) Vulnerable version: 2.3.0 - 2.3.10 Vulnerable component: submission, lmtp Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.10.1 Researcher credits: Philippe Antoine (Catena Cyber) Vendor notification: 2020-03-24 Solution date: 2020-04-02 Public disclosure: 2020-05-18 CVE reference: CVE-2020-10957 CVSS: 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) Vulnerability Details: Sending malformed NOOP command causes crash in submission, submission-login or lmtp service. Risk: Remote attacker can keep submission-login service down, causing denial of service attack. For lmtp the risk is neglible, as lmtp is usually behind a trusted MTA.

Risk: Malicious actor can cause denial of service to mail delivery by repeatedly sending mails with bad sender or recipient address. Steps to reproduce: Send mail with envelope sender or recipient as ``<""@example.org>``. Workaround: For submission there is no workaround, but triggering the bug requires valid credentials. For lmtp, one can implement sufficient filtering on MTA level to prevent mails with such addresses from ending up in LMTP delivery. Solution: Upgrade to fixed version. ------------------

dovecot sync not pushing automatically ?
by Laura Smith 17 May '20

17 May '20

Hi, I'm aware its an async process, but despite sending test messages and then waiting a few minutes, the stats are still unchanged : $ sudo doveadm replicator status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 0 Waiting 'failed' requests 0 Total number of known users 18 However if I manually run it using : sudo doveadm -D sync -u test(a)example.com -1 -d -N -l 30 -U It syncs fine and the mails are visible on the standby server. The master server is setup as per the docs : replication_dsync_parameters = -1 -d -N -l 30 -U plugin { mail_replica = tcps:foobar.example.com:11867 } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 } service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = foobar } unix_listener replication-notify { user = foobar } } service replicator { unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 user = foobar } } replication_max_conns = 10

iterate_query with static userdb ?
by Laura Smith 17 May '20

17 May '20

Hi, Going by the "static userdb" example on this page (https://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers#homedirs) tried to achieve a similar setup in conjunction with pgsql for passdb. However I get an error "auth: Warning: sql: Ignoring changed iterate_query in /etc/dovecot/local_sql_users.conf, because userdb sql not used. (If this is intentional, set userdb_warning_disable=yes)" Does this mean the following is not a valid config ? Or at least I will not be able to achieve iteration ? mail_location = maildir:/foobar/mail/%d/%n/Maildir passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/local_sql_users.conf } userdb { driver = static args = uid=foo gid=bar home=/foobar/mail/%d/%n }

Fallback driver after autodection
by Bjoern Koenig 16 May '20

16 May '20

Dear developers and dovecot users, I am running a dovecot with virtual users that have a mailbox using the Maildir format. mail_location = maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n New mailboxes are created on-the-fly if a new user logs in. I had the wish that the mailboxes of new users are created using the sdbox format and old mailboxes remain in Maildir format. In case the Maildir and sdbox mailboxes already exist, it is easy to use the "auto" driver which detects the correct format. But it is not possible to create mailboxes with the "auto" driver because there is no way to tell dovecot the preferred mailbox format. I wrote some lines of code which add the possibility to specify a fallback driver that will be used if a mailbox is created with the "auto" driver. mail_location = auto:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%n:FALLBACK=sdbox In case you like the idea you might want to develop it further. I am aware of the fact that there are some caveats if you mix it with other settings like LAYOUT. It won't work in any case.

converting old uucp buffer files to maildir
by mh＠mike.franken.de 15 May '20

15 May '20

Hi *, besides my dovecot maildir structure, that has been migrated from an Exchange server, I have an even older mail structure in an ancient uucp style. The program named CrossPoint I used for this isn't wideley known, but it used so called mpuffer files in a plain text format. It is the program I still use to write for example this mail. I wonder if there already exists a program or script to convert the files from this program to the Dovecot maildir structure or some Howto for writing it myself. The format of these files looks like shown below.

doveadm sync backup from old to new server
by Gregory Sloop 15 May '20

15 May '20

So I've done quite a lot of searching on the list and on the web - and perhaps my google-fu is really bad - but I can't find any real recipes on how to sync mail from the old server to the new. As an FYI - the old server is a CPanel/WHM setup on a VPS. The new is mailcow - which uses docker. However, I don't think either of these platforms is what's causing the issue - but I'm certainly not sure of that. --- I've tried several things - but have lost track of all the things I've tried. This seemed like the best of all the things I've tried. This particular mailbox/user+domain is setup on both servers. doveadm backup -D -u mc-user(a)abc.net ssh root(a)abc.net -p2200 doveadm dsync-server -u cp-user(a)abc.net mc-user(a)abc.net is the MC/NEW mailbox/domain cp-user(a)abc.net is the CPanel/OLD user/domain account The SSH server of the remote system is running on port 2200. However when I try this, I get: WARNING: The WATCHDOG_NOTIFY_EMAIL variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string. dsync-local(user(a)abc.net)<v44NFyRWvF5efgAAb6OASA>: Error: read(remote) failed: EOF (version not received) doveadm(user(a)abc.net): Fatal: execvp(ssh) failed: No such file or directory The process appears to hang, and a Ctrl+C stops it. I'd love to get pointed at a reasonable recipe on how to make this work. I don't really get/understand the docs much at all. [And either everyone else understands it just fine, and never thinks to write a document on how to do it - or, and I think this is a lot more likely - they're using something like imapsync to do it. I found numerous places where others were, essentially, "Dovecot's tool is way too complicated and I can't get it to work right, so I used imapsync." I suppose I should probably just do that too, but it does seem a shame to do that when the dovecot tool is almost certainly the best tool for the job, but I can't figure out how to use it.] If someone can help me grok what's going on, I'm glad to write it up for the list and or a blog entry so it's more accessible. TIA -Greg

Can't connect to Managesieve Server - what´s wrong?
by Anton Blau 15 May '20

Hi, please excuse my bad english language. But I am not a native speaker. I have installed dovecot including sieve and managesieve on a ubuntu 18.04 lts. When I try to access the filter with roundcube (from another vm) I get the error message "Cannot connect to Managesieve-Server".

[Dovecot v2.3.9.3] HTTP API Endpoint for mailbox cryptokey operations
by Thibault HUTTIN-PASSERON 14 May '20

14 May '20

Hello everyone, I successfully set up the mail_crypt plugin using folder keys, and require user's key to be encrypted with a password using mail_crypt_require_encrypted_user_key = yes. As I'm trying to streamline the process of creating a user, and want to develop an application in PHP to help me in that process, I'm very interested in the doveadm HTTP API. Although the mail_crypt plugin is not referenced in the API, I discovered that it could be accessed all the same, provided some camelCase changes. So far I've been able to generate the following json for the mailbox cryptokey generate command: curl -X POST -H "Authorization: X-Dovecot-API <base64-api-token>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '[["mailboxCryptokeyGenerate",{"user":"<username>","userKeyOnly":true},"tag1"]]' http://localhost:8081/doveadm/v1 which is able to give me the same output as the related command: doveadm mailbox cryptokey generate -u <username> -U. This only works if a keypair has already been generated for the user, which is kind of counter-productive in my use case.

Deleting messages from filesystem with sdbox mail format
by Gionatan Danti 11 May '20

11 May '20

Dear list, I recently had to delete some messages from an sdbox mailbox, for which I used the canonical "doveadm expunge" command without issues. However I got curious and, on a test mailbox, I deleted an unimportant message directly from the filesystem (rm u.650). After removing the file, the webmail continued to show it in the mail list - but no text was retrieved when I selected it. I supposed this was due to dovecot.index.cache and, indeed, deleting the cache got rid of the message in the webmail list. While I understand that it is not recommended (deleting and regenerating the index cache is an expensive operation), I wonder if removing a file from the filesystem, and regenerating the index cache file, is a safe operation when using an sdbox mailstore. Specifically, I would like to know if, after a manual filesystem deletion, the main index file (dovecot.index) is automatically updated by dovecot (reflecting the deletion) or if lingering references are kept in it. Thanks. -- Danti Gionatan Supporto Tecnico Assyoma S.r.l. - www.assyoma.it [1] email: g.danti(a)assyoma.it - info(a)assyoma.it GPG public key ID: FF5F32A8

Directory hashing

Hi, I struggle with directory hashing. I want something like this: /srv/mail/c/cf37a8dff5e360927ba10ab2 The final folder is simpel, as it is: %{sha256;truncate=96:user} But how do I get a first level from sha256? Unfortunately, the truncate option aligns only full 8bit and does not divide into low and high nibbles. How can I express this for sha256? in MD5 this would be %1Mu Many thanks in advance Christian -- Rößner-Network-Solutions Karl-Bröger-Str. 10, 36304 Alsfeld Fax: +49 6631 78823409, Mobil: +49 171 9905345 USt-IdNr.: DE225643613, https://roessner.website PGP fingerprint: 658D 1342 B762 F484 2DDF 1E88 38A5 4346 D727 94E5

Unable to disable TLSv1.3 or fallback to TLSv1.2 when 1 cipher is disabled
by Steve Egbert 10 May '20

10 May '20

I have an operational need to disable TLSv1.3 due to inadequate support to exclude certain ciphers. Much to my dismay, the `ssl_protocols` had been renamed and re-functionalized into `ssl_min_protocol`. Now, there is no way to exclude a specific group of one or more TLS versions. For a new bug report, I think we need two new settings: * `ssl_tls13_ciphersuite` and * `ssl_tls10_cipher` settings introduced into Dovecot for better granularity. ALong with support for fallback to TLSv1.2 as outlined in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1250568 I'm still being hammered with the following error with Thunderbird 76.0b3, Dovecot 2.3.4.1-5+deb10u1, Debian 11: May 8 11:15:47 ns1 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before SSL initialization May 8 11:15:47 ns1 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before SSL initialization May 8 11:15:47 ns1 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: before SSL initialization May 8 11:15:47 ns1 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before SSL initialization May 8 11:15:47 ns1 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL alert: where=0x4008, ret=582: fatal protocol version May 8 11:15:47 ns1 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: error May 8 11:15:47 ns1 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL error: SSL_accept() failed: error:14209102:SSL routines:tls_early_post_process_client_hello:unsupported protocol May 8 11:15:47 ns1 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 0 secs): user=<>, rip=XX.XX.XX.XX, lip=XX.XX.XX.XX, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:14209102:SSL routines:tls_early_post_process_client_hello:unsupported protocol, session=<GN/GeCSlYuhEhl2U> May 8 11:15:47 ns1 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL error: SSL_accept() syscall failed: Invalid argument This occurred when specifying one TLSv1.3 cipher to be excluded in ssl_cipher via an exclamation mark.

Marking all emails in "Trash" as opened, and also prohibiting email clients from creating new mails
by Sebastian Nielsen 10 May '20

10 May '20

Dovecot version: 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b) (pkg shipped by: Ubuntu-Desktop 20.04) I want to accomplish 2 things in dovecot: 1: I want to force all mails inside Trash to have an "opened"/"read" flag and "Non-Recent" flag. Basically Status: RO This regardless how the flag appears, either by copying/moving the mail into trash, creating a new mail in trash, flagging email in Trash or whatever. Basically, no email in Trash should ever be able to have a recent or unread flag. I tried with a static mail filter and sieve filter to add \\seen to the email upon COPY (as mentioned here: https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2017-November/110122.html ), but regardless how I do it, it doesn't work when Samsung Email client trashes an unread email, AND/OR also, it causes weird issues like duplicate email in the trash folder sometimes. Best would be some event filter that executes for every mail that somehow end up in Trash, that checks if \\seen is present, if not, then it will add it, on all emails in trash? But how I do to prevent the duplicate copy that appears sometimes? 2: I want to prohibit email clients from ever creating a new mail in Sent folder. If its possible to allow MOVE and/or COPY, it should be allowed, only new mail should be prohibited. (also note that external processes must be able to create new mail in Sent) HOWEVER - this prohibition must be silent - ergo the newly created email is simply discarded. No error message or error codes should be returned to IMAP client. (The reason I want this, is because I have configured my outgoing SMTP server to populate Sent, and some email clients doesn't have the option to "Don't store a copy of the email in Sent folder" resulting in duplicates) Best regards, Sebastian Nielsen

Dovecot v2.3.4.1 Debian 10.3 mbox format - Error: chdir(/var/spool/mail/domain/user) failed: Not a directory
by vik 10 May '20

10 May '20

Hi colleagues, I am trying to setup dovecot and have a strange problem. I configured it to: #dovecot -n|grep ^mail mail_gid = mail mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/mail/%d/mailboxes/%n:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%d/%n mail_uid = mail And also setup exim4 to use it. I sent a test message and observe a mailbox file /var/spool/mail/domain/user, containing this message. But when I try to access dovecot with a client (thunderbird), client cannot fetch mail, and I observe error in the dovecot's log: May 09 23:35:51 imap(user@domain)<25179><JNFIDz2ldeOsEAE3>: Error: chdir(/var/spool/mail/domain/user) failed: Not a directory What is it, and how to solve it? Thank you. Kind regards, Viktor

What's a Reasonable Inbox Size?
by Asai 09 May '20

09 May '20

Greetings, I have several users who have inboxes that are over 20 GB. Lately I have noticed Dovecot logs say it's taking over 30 seconds to sync their mailboxes. As email admins, how do you handle inboxes that are so large? Do you use mailbox types that have better performance like dbox? We're using maildir. What's a reasonable inbox size? Is 20+ GB reasonable and nothing to worry about? Thanks for any insight here. -- Asai7

dovecot-lda quota warning email add BCC
by Admin Beckspaced 08 May '20

08 May '20

Dear dovecot users, I have setup doveot with quota warning. Once a quota wearning is reached a shell script is called which then sends an email to the user via dovecot LDA this is the command in the shell script: /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $USER -o "plugin/quota=dict:User quota::noenforcing:proxy::quota" I already have looked in the docs: https://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA but can't find an option to add a BCC I would like to receive a copy of the quota warning email so I also get notified and know if user mailboxes get filled up. How could I achieve that? thanks & greetings Becki

courier-dovecot-migrate.pl and courier-5: UTF-8 flag
by Maxim Nikulin 08 May '20

08 May '20

Hi, Courier to dovecot migration script https://dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl referenced at the https://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier page has a couple of problems. One of them is that the script could not process courierpop3dsizelist generated by courier-5. File format has been changed a bit to mark UTF-8 messages with an additional attribute. Is it safe to ignore such flag or its value should be stored somewhere for dovecot? Internally courier assumes false value during migration from the previous format version (v2 to v3). --- courier-dovecot-migrate.pl.orig 2012-07-28 17:14:20.000000000 +0000 +++ courier-dovecot-migrate.pl 2020-05-08 09:54:53.249214022 +0000 @@ -170,8 +170,9 @@ my $pop3_fname = "$dir/$courier_pop3_uidfile"; open( $f, $pop3_fname ) || die $!; my $pop3_hdr = <$f>; - if ( $pop3_hdr =~ /^\/2 (\d+) (\d+)$/ ) { + if ( $pop3_hdr =~ /^\/[23] (\d+) (\d+)$/ ) { # /2 <next uid> <uidvalidity> + # /3 <next uid> <uidvalidity> $_ = <$f>; } elsif ( $pop3_hdr =~ /^\/1 (\d+)$/ ) { @@ -193,9 +194,13 @@ chomp $_; $line++; - my ( $full_fname, $fsize, $uid, $uidv ); + my ( $full_fname, $fsize, $uid, $uidv, $_is_utf8 ); - if ( /^([^ ]+) (\d+) (\d+):(\d+)$/ ) { + if ( /^([^ ]+) (\d+) (\d+):(\d+):(\d+)$/ ) { + # v3 + ( $full_fname, $fsize, $uid, $uidv, $_is_utf8 ) = ( $1, $2, $3, $4, $5 ); + } + elsif ( /^([^ ]+) (\d+) (\d+):(\d+)$/ ) { # v2 ( $full_fname, $fsize, $uid, $uidv ) = ( $1, $2, $3, $4 ); }

Seive + Spamprobe terminates with signal 6
by Mark Constable 08 May '20

08 May '20

Ubuntu 20.04, Dovecot 2.3.7.2, SpamProbe v1.4d. For the past weeks my sieve filters that call spamprobe have been crashing out for some users. I have a dozen similar server setups and this is not happening on any of the other servers and it was working just fine for a year up until recently. This particular server is quite busy. There is plenty of disk space and inode usage is about 2.5%. Permissions look the same as on the other servers. I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion as to the cause of this?

auto: mdbox is automatically recognized as sdbox
by 刘莹莹 08 May '20

08 May '20

Hi:   I did a simple test with Dovecot-2.3.9:            First step : A test account uses mdbox format to store emails with 'mail_location = mdbox:%h/%Ld/%Ln:ALT=%h/altstorage/%Ld/%Ln',           Second step: I adjust 'mail_location = auto:'  and dovecot restart           Third step: telnet 127.0.0.1 143  then log in and fetch emails.     When I fetch email data , the log shows that the storage format is automatically recognized as sdbox and index is Rebuild, as the result, all emails is lost： May 08 12:22:15 mail imap(q2(a)a.com)<30883><+nFkVxul5oF/AAAB>: Debug: Mailbox INBOX: Mailbox opened because: SELECT May 08 12:22:15 mail imap(q2(a)a.com)<30883><+nFkVxul5oF/AAAB>: Warning: sdbox /srv/vmail/a.com/q2/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails: Rebuilding index May 08 12:23:12 mail auth-worker(30882): Debug: conn unix:auth-worker (pid=29526,uid=12348): Disconnected: Connection closed (fd=-1) May 08 12:24:19 mail imap(q2(a)a.com)<30883><+nFkVxul5oF/AAAB>: Info: Logged out in=50 out=881 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=0 hdr_bytes=0 body_count=0 body_bytes=0          I am confused why mdbox and sdbox cannot be recognized automatically or there are same problem with my test ??   Thanks

SPECIAL-USE and Outlook folders
by Alessio Cecchi 08 May '20

08 May '20

Hi, in the recent version of Outlook seem impossible to remap the Sent (but also Drafts) folders in order to show as the localized name. I have enabled the "special_use" in 10-mailbox.conf but still is not working: namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / } On Internet someone suggest to add the imap_capability "XLIST" but I haven't understand if it the solutions. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice

Unable to set ssl_min_protocol=TLSv1.3
by Thomas Schneider 07 May '20

07 May '20

Good $daytime, as per the recommendations of Mozilla’s SSL config generator[0], I wanted to set ssl_min_protocol=TLSv1.3 in my dovecot config. This produced the error: imap-login: Error: Failed to initialize SSL server context: Unknown ssl_min_protocol setting 'TLSv1.3' After some digging, I found the function that parses this setting in src/lib-ssl-iostream/iostream-openssl-common.c (openssl_min_protocol_to_options()), which maps strings such as SSL_TXT_TLSV1_2 == "TLSv1.2" (from openssl/ssl.h) to the appropriate version and option defines of OpenSSL. Said openssl/ssl.h does not contain a SSL_TXT_TLSV1_3, so it’s no surprise that dovecot does not know this setting. As a quick fix, I could probably extend struct {…} protocol_versions[] (in iostream-openssl-common.c again) with an appropriate "TLSv1.3" entry (and send a patch), though I would also suggest to OpenSSL to add a SSL_TXT_TLSV1_3 define. Unfortunately, I have not found a config setting in dovecot to set SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2, or in fact any way to enforce TLS >=1.3, except maybe via the cipher list string. I think that dovecot should support setting this, and I’d also gladly provide a patch. Thanks, Thomas [0]: https://ssl-config.mozilla.org/#server=dovecot&version=2.3.4.1&config=moder…
