Re: Potfix+Dovecot with dsync replication problem
by Zeljko Dokman 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Hi all, I am still struggling with this issue. I scraped my previous configuration and started from beginning. Thanks to Aki Tuomi and his suggestion I changed the users in my configurations from vmail --> root and that helped. Now I have a working replication but with some problems and strange behavior. Replication works only when I manually execute a command: "doveadm sync -A tcp:secundary:server:12345" Automatic fast and full sync do not work: doveadm replicator status "*" username priority fast sync full sync success sync failed zdokman none 01:46:14 01:46:14 01:46:14 - 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 1 doveadm replicator dsync-status username type status - Not connected maillog has no error entries. my conf files are attached. I don't understand why is this happening and how to fix it, any help is much appreciated.

Stats/Metrics in 2.3
by Nikolai Lusan 03 Jun '19

03 Jun '19

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Greetings, So the changes to the stats modules between v2.2 and v2.3 have broken some of my monitoring. I am attempting to use the new method of gathering "metrics" from "events" - but the details in the documentation are a bit thin. I started with the examples provided at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Statistics and tried to build from there with only moderate success. What I am trying to achieve is the monitoring of login attempts (with successes and failures as separate modules - as well as aborted attempts), user sessions an bytes transferred. All this for multiple virtual domains and users. I have attached my current /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-stats.conf so people can see what I have attempted so far. Based on that file the output I get is: # doveadm stats dump metric_name field count sum min max avg median stddev %95 imap_login_attempt_lusan.id.au duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 imap_login_lusan.id.au_failed duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 imap_login_lusan.id.au_success duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 imap_select_no duration 702 197998 89 13942 282.05 133 1247.14 278 imap_select_no_notfound duration 702 197998 89 13942 282.05 133 1330.67 285 imap_command_list duration 14 287397 17595 25823 20528.36 20060 2194.36 25823 imap_command_select duration 1593 2354698 355 81662 1478.15 743 4583.03 4460 imap_command_search duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 imap_command_fetch_ok duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 storage_http_gets duration 0 0 0 0 0.00 0 0.00 0 Based on the metrics I have set I would expect to see entries in the first 2 lines at least, given that there are multiple users logged into the server from the monitored domain (or at least the domain I am trying to monitor to begin with). I am also not sure how to get the session and data transfer information out of the metrics/stats system. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.

Mailman option "Set Reply-To header to list" unavailable
by Ralph Seichter 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

Looking at https://dovecot.org/mailman/options/dovecot I see that the option "Set Reply-To header to list?" does not accept any changes from me. I assume this might be related to DMARC related header mangling that was discussed at length before. While I do not want to open that particular can of worms again, I would like to force Reply-To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org for my own (!) postings to this mailing list. I actually set this header in my MUA when I post to the Dovecot ML, but it gets overwritten to include my own sender address in Reply-To, which is not what I want. Is there something I can do on my end to ensure that replies get sent to the list only? If not, Is this something the list owners can set for me? Thanks, Ralph

[mail-crypt-plugin] Private key location in Folder Key Mode

Nice. It worked but I think there is a little output error (probably not a big issue): When I type the following command I get this output: user'@'host:~$ doveadm -o plugin/mail_crypt_private_private_password=1234 mailbox cryptokey export -u username -U /var/vmail/domain/username/Maildir/dovecot-attributes Folder: Public ID: <Public key ID> Error: -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- <private_key> -----END PRIVATE KEY----- And when I type the following command I get this output: user'@'host:~$ doveadm mailbox cryptokey export -u username -U /var/vmail/domain/username/Maildir/dovecot-attributes Folder: Public ID: <Public key ID> Error: ERROR: error:03070068:bignum routines:BN_mpi2bn:encoding error Key: So in the first command the private key shows but it's under Error, and I believe it should be under Key.

macOS Notes.app IMAP Syncing Not Working
by Steven Smith 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

I’m requesting help getting macOS’s Notes.app to sync notes with a new dovecot IMAP server. Thanks to dovecot’s excellent online documentation and help from this list, I have a new perfectly functioning IMAP server. The issue is that macOS Note.app does not sync with this server. However, iOS Notes.app *does* sync and work well with this IMAP server, and the differences between macOS and iOS Notes apps are well known. (Thanks, Apple.) https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/265579/notes-wont-sync-via-imap-i… <https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/265579/notes-wont-sync-via-imap-i…> https://jpmens.net/2015/09/28/experiments-using-imap-for-notes/ <https://jpmens.net/2015/09/28/experiments-using-imap-for-notes/> … I am migrating from a working Server.app system in which Notes.app syncing does work across all devices, and therefore have a working dovecot configuration from Server.app, although it does not contain an explicit configuration for the “Notes” mailbox. I would greatly appreciate any help or pointers for these questions: Does anyone have a working template for dovecot that works with macOS Notes.app? I’ve posted doveconf -n of both the new server and the old Server.app server below. Would you all be able to provide advice on TO-DO’s and NOT-TO-DO’s for mailbox/name-space reconfiguration as I try to muck around with a nicely working, deployed IMAP server? I believe that the solution has something to do with name spaces and separators, and I’ve already changed the separator from the original ‘/’ to ‘.’ on the working server without success or obvious changes. All the mail boxes on the new IMAP server look like this, *without* a prefix ‘.’: > ls -1 /var/mail/tld.domain.mail/username/mdbox/mailboxes/ > Archive/ > Deleted Messages/ > Drafts/ > INBOX/ > Junk/ > Notes/ > Sent/ > Trash/ All the mailboxes on the working Server.app mailserver look like this, *with* a prefix ‘.’: > $ sudo ls -1 /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/users/username > .Archive > .Deleted Messages > .Drafts > .Junk > .Notes > .Sent Messages > cur > … > new > subscriptions > tmp Here are the `doveconf -n` of the new server that doesn’t sync macOS Notes.app, and the old Server.app IMAP

[mail-crypt-plugin] Private key location in Folder Key Mode
by emordin 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

Hi, So I am trying to locate the private key in dovecot-attributes but I can't seem to find it. I have went thru the strings in the file with the lib-dcrypt document as a guide but the private key doesn't seem to be in there. I'm guessing the private key is an internal attribute located here '/private/vendor/vendor.dovecot/pvt' , but according to the mail-attribute.h file that location is not accessible. Is this true? Or is there a way to see the private key? Thanks. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

[mail-crypt-plugin] Password Query for Folder Keys questions
by emordin 31 May '19

31 May '19

> Can you try rm dovecot-attributes file? Okay it worked. I kinda did that by 'rm -rf' the entire /var/vmail/domain, and then I ran the following: doveadm -o plugin/mail_crypt_private_password=desired_password mailbox cryptokey generate -u user -UR And I got the check mark and the ID string of characters. I sent a new email to the server, and was able to open and read the email =) I got confused on the docs... So only if using unencrypted folder keys, could I open a CRYPTED email and read it right away. But if using encrypted folder keys, first I would have to set a password for the key before I could open the CRYPTED email ? I thought logging in to the mailbox would connect the password to the key automatically. Thanks again. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

So I believe I generated a key successfully with: 'doveadm mailbox cryptokey generate -u user -UR' because I got the output with the check mark and the Public ID string of characters. However I still can't read the CRYPTED emails when logging in with IMAP.. i'm still getting the following error in the mail log: Error: read() failed: read(/var/vmail/[domain . com/user/Maildir/cur/](http://domain.com/user/Maildir/cur/)<email_index>) failed: Private key not available: Cannot decrypt key ... : error:03070068:big num routines:BN_mpi2bn:encoding error I've tried to list the key with 'doveadm mailbox cryptokey list -u user' but I'm only getting the following output: Folder Active Public ID And I've tried to create a password with 'doveadm mailbox cryptokey password -u user -n Password1' and I'm getting the following output: result: dcrypt_key_load_private(...) failed: password missing Also my settings in conf.d: 10-mail.conf - mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt plugins{ mail_crypt_curve = secp512r1 mail_crypt_save_version = 2 mail_crypt_require_encrypted_user_key = yes } 20-lmtp.conf - protocol lmtp{ mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve } And my settings in dovecot-sql.conf.ext: driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mailserver user=mailuser password=1234 password_query = SELECT email as user,password, '%w' AS userdb_mail_crypt_private_password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'; In the virtual_users table I have: id, domain_id, email, password Any ideas what the issue may be? Also am I suppose to add the 'userdb_mail_crypt_private_password' into the table and put the virtual users email login password in there? Or is it suppose to be a temporary query? Thanks.

In Folder key plugin operation mode, using the following password query: password_query = SELECT \ email as user, password, \ '%w' AS userdb_mail_crypt_private_password \ FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u'; Say I have two 'email' users...will each 'email' have a 'userdb_mail_crypt_private_password' field with a plaintext password (%w) in it? And is the 'userdb_mail_crypt_private_password' used automatically to decrypt the user private key which is stored in 'mail_attribute_dict' ?

Changes in sieve Dovecot 2.2
by Gter Marcelo 29 May '19

29 May '19

Hi People, I'm use dovecot in my mailbox system, until last month i used the dovecot version 2.0 and now i use version 2.2, version 2.2 works well for me, but i have one small problem, in sieve. In version 2.0 i had rules in sieve similiar to rule bellow: if allof (true){ keep; fileinto "INBOX"; redirect "xxxxxx"xxxxxx.com.br"; stop; } In the new version 2.2 this rules above, i have one problem duplicate messages in account from my clients, in paste INBOX, therefore, i changed rule to bellow ( with remove fileinto inbox) if allof (true){ keep; redirect "xxxxxx"xxxxxx.com.br"; stop; } Dovecot really changed your behavor, i did right to fix this ? Thanks a Lot, Marcelo

Dict issue with PostgreSQL for last_login plugin (duplicate key)
by mabi 29 May '19

29 May '19

Hello, I am trying to setup the last_login plugin on Dovecot 2.3 in order to log a user's last IMAP login into a separate PostgreSQL table called last_login. I am actually following that guide: https://docs.iredmail.org/track.user.last.login.html with the exception that I use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. So far it works at least for the very first login of a user but it looks like Dict always want to add a new record into my last_login table instead of updating the existing record for a specific user. Here is the error message from Dovecot: May 19 12:45:14-mbox1 dovecot: imap(user(a)domain.tld)<51915><if6KTzuJMZ25D+Vc>: Error: last_login_dict: Failed to write value: dict-server returned failure: sql dict: commit failed: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "last_logins_pkey" It looks like Dict with PostgreSQL does not support UPDATEing an already existing record in the table. Or am I missing something? or it does not work with PostgreSQL? Which does not make much sense to me... Regards, Mabi

imap userdb Fatal setuid errors
by Steven Smith 28 May '19

28 May '19

I’m trying to configure dovecot lmtp in multi-user mode. My error logs are filled with messages saying that an imap process cannot do a setuid to another user: > May 21 22:28:46 imap(pid 17441 user myuser): Fatal: setuid(512(myuser) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=501(adminuser): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process user set to 512(myuser) instead of 501(adminuser)) I see that others have had similar issues, but I am not able to apply any of the fixes or workarounds to solve this issue (e.g. setting libexec/dovecot/imap as setuid-root). I’ve also tried other fixes like setting the permissions to 0777 on the userdb auth for postfix smtpd. According to the code (restrict-access.c, linked below), it appears that when a user authenticates, an imap worker process is launched that has the bid of the authenticator. When another user authenticates, this last process is used, but it does not have the permissions to perform a setuid to the new user, resulting in the Fatal error that appears in the logs. Is this a bug, or a configuration issue? I’ve posted my doveconf below. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

It's probably the iPhone mail app trying to be clever and auto-configuring the settings for IMAP (and getting it wrong). To stop this behaviour, hardwire the iPhone IMAP parameters, then disable "Automatic manage connection". If you use SSL/TLS, this will also secure you from plaintext MITM attacks. Other oddities I've seen from Apple mail readers: 1) If you don't disable "Automatic manage connection", it will also hunt around for outgoing mail settings. 2) Once in a while, it initiates an idle authenticated SMTP session (i.e. authenticates, but does nothing). 3) Roofs your user IMAP connection limit when the client does global mail searches.

Unknown error message
by Jerry 26 May '19

26 May '19

dovecot 2.3.6 (7eab80676) FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p5 amd64 I have recently been finding error messages similar to the following in my Dovecot log file: May 26 06:58:32 imap(gerard(a)seibercom.net)<87791><WvXT+LyJHBCubeH6>: Error: stat(/var/mail/vmail/seibercom.net/gerard/.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory The message is correct as there is no such directory. The question is why has it suddenly started appearing? I checked my maillog file, and there are no messages being transmitted to Dovecot when that error message is created. Neither is there any mail with that ID number either. Could this be someone attempting to hack into my system? Thanks! -- Jerry

Automatically subscribe to the INBOX folder
by glts 26 May '19

26 May '19

Hello, I am using the ‘auto = subscribe’ feature in the mailbox configuration section in the usual fashion (as shown in conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf): namespace inbox { inbox = yes mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts auto = subscribe } ... } When I connect to an account with the Thunderbird mail client, those mailboxes/folders get autocreated and autosubscribed. Good! INBOX, however, does not get subscribed to automatically. When I look at the account’s subscriptions in Thunderbird, all folders are subscribed, except INBOX. How can I enable autosubscribe for the INBOX folder (like the other folders)? Is there an option for this? This is in Dovecot 2.2.22. Cheers, David

Workaround for infinite loop in XCLIENT command bug
by mabi 26 May '19

26 May '19

Hello, I am running Dovecot 2.3.5 package on OpenBSD 6.5 and it looks like this bug which has been fixed in 2.3.6 is hitting me: lib-smtp: client: Fix infinite loop in XCLIENT command interaction with server https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/5d03f39b345127b80d145ee90772739baa7a… so I was wondering if there is any workarounds? Maybe like disabling the XCLIENT command from the config file or something similar? My original post regarding this issue is here: https://www.mail-archive.com/misc@opensmtpd.org/msg04362.html I first thought this was an OpenSMTPD issue but it seems to be that Dovecot bug. Cheers, Mabi

Dovecot multiple passdb and fail2ban
by Joaquin F 26 May '19

26 May '19

Objective: different password for remote and local imap login Version: 2.2.36 (1f10bfa63) on CentOS 7 Users are from Active Directory, mapped to local users via sssd After much experimentation, I have configured this way: doveconf -n passdb userdb passdb { args = username_format=%Ln /etc/dovecot/remote driver = passwd-file skip = authenticated username_filter = user01 user02 } passdb { driver = pam override_fields = allow_nets=127.0.0.0/8,192.168.1.0/24 skip = authenticated } userdb { driver = passwd } If I put the passdb's in the reverse order, I would get failure messages (when logging in remotely) in /var/log/secure, such as: auth: pam_sss(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser=user02 rhost=xx.xx.xx.xx user=user02 Which caused fail2ban to ban that ip /etc/fail2ban/jail.local [dovecot] enabled = true port = imap,imaps If I set "auth_verbose = yes", then I can see messages in (when logging in locally) in /var/log/maillog dovecot: auth: passwd-file(user02,192.168.1.20,<Na/7f8WJC8HAqAEU>): Password mismatch which is probably not a big deal... but seems inefficient? Question: is there a more elegant way to use different passdb depending on ip? Thanks in advance.

Race condition in IMAP NOTIFY for events received NOTIFY_DELAY_MSECS apart
by Guilhem Moulin 25 May '19

25 May '19

Hi there, There seem to be a race condition in IMAP NOTIFY: when two events for the SELECTED mailbox are received soon after one another, sometimes only the first one is being reported to clients that enabled IMAP NOTIFY. On closer look it seems like this is most often reproducible when the delay between the two events is NOTIFY_DELAY_MSECS (500ms). This is with 2.3.4.1 from Debian sid. $ sed -r 's/^\s*//; s/\s+/ /g' >/tmp/dovecot.conf <<-EOF log_path = /tmp/dovecot.log mailbox_list_index = yes mail_home = /dev/shm/dovecot-test/%u mail_location = dbox:~/mail ssl = no EOF (`doveconf -c /tmp/dovecot.conf -n` output enclosed.) $ rm -rf /dev/shm/dovecot-test && mkdir -m0700 /dev/shm/dovecot-test $ env -i USER=user HOME=/dev/shm/dovecot-test/user PATH=/usr/bin:/bin \ doveadm -c /tmp/dovecot.conf exec imap S: * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 … NOTIFY] Logged in as user C: a NOTIFY SET STATUS (SELECTED (MessageNew MessageExpunge FlagChange)) (MAILBOXES (INBOX test) (MessageNew MessageExpunge FlagChange)) S: * STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES 0 UIDNEXT 1 UIDVALIDITY 1558785754 UNSEEN 0 HIGHESTMODSEQ 1) S: a OK NOTIFY completed (0.004 + 0.000 + 0.003 secs). S: * STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES 0 UIDNEXT 1 UIDVALIDITY 1558785754 UNSEEN 0 HIGHESTMODSEQ 1) C: b SELECT INBOX […] S: b OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). Now deliver two messages to INBOX with ~500ms in between: $ env -i USER=user HOME=/dev/shm/dovecot-test/user PATH=/usr/bin:/bin sh -c \ 'echo -n . | doveadm -c /tmp/dovecot.conf exec dovecot-lda -e -m INBOX; \ sleep 0.500; \ echo -n . | doveadm -c /tmp/dovecot.conf exec dovecot-lda -e -m INBOX' Only the the first message is reported in the above IMAP session: S: * 1 EXISTS S: * 1 RECENT An UNSELECT doesn't trigger the notification, but (of course) a NOOP does: C: c NOOP S: * 2 EXISTS S: * 2 RECENT S: c OK NOOP completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). Similarly, for two flag changes within 0.5s only the first is recorded: $ env -i USER=user HOME=/dev/shm/dovecot-test/user PATH=/usr/bin:/bin sh -c \ 'doveadm -c /tmp/dovecot.conf flags add "\\Seen" mailbox INBOX 1; \ sleep 0.500; \ doveadm -c /tmp/dovecot.conf flags add "\\Answered" mailbox INBOX 2' yields a single unsolicited FETCH response: S: * 1 FETCH (MODSEQ (4) FLAGS (\Seen \Recent)) AFAICT this is only reproducible in the ‘SELECTED’ mailbox specifier: after creating a mailbox "test", $ env -i USER=user HOME=/dev/shm/dovecot-test/user PATH=/usr/bin:/bin sh -c \ 'echo -n . | doveadm -c /tmp/dovecot.conf exec dovecot-lda -e -m test; \ sleep 0.500; \ echo -n . | doveadm -c /tmp/dovecot.conf exec dovecot-lda -e -m test' yields two unsolicited STATUS responses as expected: * STATUS test (MESSAGES 1 UIDNEXT 2 UIDVALIDITY 1558787038 UNSEEN 1 HIGHESTMODSEQ 2) * STATUS test (MESSAGES 2 UIDNEXT 3 UIDVALIDITY 1558787038 UNSEEN 2 HIGHESTMODSEQ 3) (And same thing for two flag updates in the "test" mailbox.) This is not specific to INBOX as once "test" is selected the same problem arises. AFAICT the race is in ‘src/lib-storage/list/mailbox-list-index-notify.c’ which for some reason doesn't acknowledge ST_CHANGED() after inotify_rm_watch(), but I couldn't get my head around that file. Cheers, -- Guilhem.

MailCrypt plugin questions
by MRob 24 May '19

24 May '19

I read the mailcrypt plugin document on the wiki and had couple questions. 1. If I want per-user encryption am I correct I should configure global keys with all related settings override in the userdb lookup? 2. If I do not want to encrypt some user accounts, is it enough to omit the mail_crypt_global_private_key from the userdb lookup? In other word, mail_plugins still active with mail_crypt, will that cause user account to be encrypted unexpectedly if no private key is given? 3. Example command to create EC key does not ask for password, openssl ecparam command does not seem to have password arg. If I want password-protection should I use RSA key which the doc tell to be discouraged?

Another alternative is to use the checkpassword hook that will accept any username/password. The advantage is you can do post-analysis of credentials as the script has access to them.

Catch all for dovecot authentication?
by Tobi 23 May '19

23 May '19

Hi I'm aware that there are several good reasons not to do what I want, but in my use-case it would be an interesting feature. So please no discussions about the reasonableness I have some spamtrap SMTP servers (postfix). Currently SMTP AUTH is disabled. But as I daily have thousands of AUTH tries I thought it would be nice to be able to accept any AUTH request from postfix in dovecot. Is something like this possible with dovecot? If so any good description available on how to achieve? Thanks -- tobi

How to get original recipient from Postfix when using LMTP?
by MRob 22 May '19

22 May '19

Many people prefer to use LMTP for delivery from postfix for better efficiency but X-Original-to header support still missing after many years. One affect of this is need to set sieve_vacation_dont_check_recipient = yes which violate Sieve standard and cause auto-replyies sent to messages that should not happen. Or abandon LMTP. or abandon postfix?? So while feature request is stalled are there any realistic workarounds?

weakforced: Possible to access the ip address of report/allow?

Hi I wonder if the information about the origin of report or allow can be accessed somehow. lt.remote gives the IP of the client trying to login but is there anything in lt which gives the ip of the system that connects to wforced? Thanks and have a good one -- tobi

In the example above $USER1$ did not have a sieve script configured but $USER2$ had one, as you can see. As a workaround, I configured an empty sieve script for all users with out sieve configured. This seems to work but actually I do not want to have users with empty sieve scripts. This bug seems to be related to https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-February/088540.html where Timo stated: "LMTP always delivers the mail to the first user. Then it tries to copy the first mail to the second user, because in some setups this can be done using hard links. With mbox that of course doesn't work, but looks like instead of failing silently it logs an error. So everything is working as it should, except there are these unnecessary errors logged. I'll see about getting rid of them." Is it possible to get rid of these error messages, either by a config setting that prevents if they do not lead to a real problem or by changing the code to avoid the behaviour described by Timo? Attached you can find doveconf -n output and the used ldap.conf (both anonymized), the referenced /etc/dovecot/passdb.deny and /etc/dovecot/userdb.overrides are usually empty files and only used during mailbox migrations.

Converting user mailboxes from maildir to sdbox
by David Mehler 22 May '19

22 May '19

Hello, I've got a Postfix/Dovecot server setup. Currently Dovecot is version 2.3.6, and it's using Maildir storage. The mailbox is: mail_home = /home/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs I'm wanting to convert from Maildir to sdbox. I looked at: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat I was initially thinking mdbox but that's multiple messages per file, which I do not believe is what I want. Am I correct that in the sdbox format if a single message file is corrupted only that message is corrupt and not the rest of the messages as would be the case in a mdbox setup? On the page: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat " maildir -> sdbox migration. Set mail_location=sdbox:~/sdbox and run dsync -u username mirror maildir:~/Maildir " If I set mail_location=sdbox:~/sdbox will that put the user mailboxes in mail_home/sdbox? So it would be: /home/vmail/mailboxes/example.com/username/sdbox I am needing to do this migration, but am paranoid about loosing mail or corrupting mailboxes. All of my users are virtual users and they are stored in a mysql database. Thanks. Dave.

[mail-crypt-plugin] How to decrypt mailbox?
by emordin 22 May '19

22 May '19

How do I enable the mail-crypt-plugin globally? Do I have to place 'mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt' inside ever conf.d file where there is a protocol code block? Like for example the protocol lda codeblock in 15-lda.conf and the protocol imap codeblock in 20-imap.conf I placed 'mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt' in 20-lmtp.conf inside the protocol lmtp code block, and the actual plugin settings are inside 90-plugin.conf inside the plugin codeblock. And I was able to get CRYPTED mail with this config. If I place 'mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt' inside 90-plugin.conf, I get an error telling me to put 'mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_crypt' in 20-lmtp.conf Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Dovecot with LDAP Proxy

Hello, configuring Dovecot with LDAP authentication, adding the parameter in ther sql config file: pass_attrs = \ =proxy=y I see then backend connections always addressed to localhot port 143: /user=utente1(a)domanin.com proxy lip=127.0.0.1 lport=143 / while I expect that connections would be managed by the director and then addressed to my backend IPs and specific port. Is there a way to configure ldap proxy to get that behavior? Thanks in advance. -federico

the make config options for dovecot on FreeBSD list list [x] ICU Use libicu for FTS unicode normalization but https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS makes no mention of libicu (nor of icu at all). is linicu simply in addition to the four options of Solar, Lucene, fts-xapian, and fts-dovecot?

Further issues on FTS engine
by Joan Moreau 20 May '19

20 May '19

Hi, Additionally to the long list of problem on the FTS previously discussed, here a new: WHen I reset the indexes, the indexer-worker seems paralelleizing the indexing (which is good), however, the number available in "ps aux | grep dove" shows that it does not move: dovecot 28549 0.0 0.0 8620 3920 ? S 06:20 0:00 dovecot/indexer [0 clients, 3 requests] mailuse+ 28550 98.6 0.1 167412 86916 ? R 06:20 5:28 dovecot/indexer-worker [jom(a)grosjo.net XXXX - 800/37755] Looking further, if I put a tracer in teh backend, it treats the *same* message several times in parallel, and therefore does not move very fast on the global indexing of the box ANy clue ? THanks
