Dovecot v2.4.1 released
by Aki Tuomi 01 Apr '25

01 Apr '25

Hi! We arey happy to release Dovecot v2.4.1! Some IMPORTANT things to notice (still): - We have changed the signing key for 2.4 going forward, releases are signed with EF0882079FD4ED32BF8B23B2A1B09EF84EDC5219, which can be found at https://repo.dovecot.org/DOVECOT-REPO-GPG-2.4 and is signed with the previous key. The old key has been renamed to https://repo.dovecot.org/DOVECOT-REPO-GPG-2.3. - New 2.4 packages **are not** compatible with old 2.3 configuration, please carefully review https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/installation/upgrade/2.3-to-2.4.html before installing the new packages. - We are happy to provide experimental arm64 support in the form of a Docker image. There are now three kinds of images, latest, latest-dev and latest-root. - The latest docker image is now ran rootless, with UID 1000 as vmail. Please take this into consideration when upgrading. The latest-root image still runs as root. Latest 2.3 image can be used with tag 2.3-latest still We won't be sending separate mail about Pigeonhole anymore as we will release one anyways when we release Dovecot, and Pigeonhole versioning has been changed to match Dovecot versioning.

For additional modules, the mail_plugin_dir parameter is ignored
by Lafiel 31 Mar '25

31 Mar '25

Hi. The NixOS distribution for Dovecot uses a patch that hardcodes the path to the plugins in `/etc/dovecot/modules`. The modules themselves are located at `/nix/store/z9kf4ri8sq9f3r510qsm59g1n6kfc7q6-dovecot-2.3.21.1/lib/dovecot`, the script creates symlinks in the `/etc/dovecot/modules` directory. The additional modules are loaded normally. Now I want to remove the patch. I added the parameter `“--with-moduledir=$(out)/etc/dovecot/modules”`, and the modules are located at path `/nix/store/wb885d6w5dfchg9v481f55zj4a2p3r89-dovecot-2.3.21.1/etc/dovecot/modules`. In the configuration I added the parameter `mail_plugin_dir = /etc/dovecot/modules`. The main modules load fine, but the optional modules don't want to load: ``` Error: Plugin 'imap_sieve' not found from directory /nix/store/wb885d6w5dfchg9v481f55zj4a2p3r89-dovecot-2.3.21.1/etc/dovecot/modules ``` For additional modules, the mail_plugin_dir parameter is ignored. Temporary solution - in src/config/config-parser.h file I replaced the line ``` #define CONFIG_MODULE_DIR MODULEDIR"/settings” ``` by ``` #define CONFIG_MODULE_DIR “/etc/dovecot/modules/settings” ``` -- Best regards, Lafiel mailto:lafiel@elven.pw

Hi, dovecot 2.3.21.1 fails to build with ICU 77. There are also reports it does not build with ICU 76 for the same reason: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=284832 There is no issue when built with ICU 75.

Problem email client iPhone ios18.2
by andrzej.milewski＠gmail.com 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Hello, I have a fairly new installation of the Dovecot server version 2.3.19.1 on Debian 12.8. In general, the server works correctly. It sends and receives emails without issues. The clients primarily use Thunderbird on desktops and Gmail on Android. However, some clients are using iPhones with various hardware versions. Those with iOS below version 18 work correctly without any issues. Those who have updated their phones to version 18 and now even 18.2 are experiencing problems with mailbox synchronization. On version 18.2, the issue appears as follows: When you open the app, you can read several messages. They load correctly, but, for instance, attachments do not. If I wait for some time, the attachment eventually loads. During this time, I observe the server logs, and it shows that a certain session on the Dovecot server has ended. Dec 17 13:13:01 iredmail0 dovecot[408]: imap(xxx(a)xxx.com)<44785><1QGZCHcp/+3AqM2O>: Disconnected: Connection closed (UID SEARCH finished 92.295 secs ago) in=2972 out=6076956 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=0 hdr_bytes=0 body_count=36 body_bytes=6059064 Dec 18 08:40:41 iredmail0 dovecot[408]: imap(xxx(a)xxx.com)<177412>: Disconnected: Connection closed (UID FETCH finished 90.079 secs ago) in=5126 out=1304237 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=94 hdr_bytes=289688 body_count=89 body_bytes=969615 Dec 18 08:42:19 iredmail0 dovecot[408]: imap(xxx(a)xxx.com)<177410><D5mqU4cpZ+nAqM2O>: Disconnected: Connection closed (UID FETCH finished 95.051 secs ago) in=4475 out=1162785 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=95 hdr_bytes=281674 body_count=61 body_bytes=839545 Dec 18 08:44:17 iredmail0 dovecot[408]: imap(edyta.kowalewska(a)laktopol.com.pl)<177918>: Disconnected: Connection closed (UID FETCH finished 92.132 secs ago) in=29399 out=30266644 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=565 hdr_bytes=1726228 body_count=628 body_bytes=28109455 After the session is closed, the attachment loads immediately. From the logs and router analysis, it appears that the download happens in another previously opened session. After this incident, I go to another message with an attachment, and the situation repeats. There are also situations where the email body does not load, and the app waits for the server until the session closes and the content is fetched in another session. It does not matter whether I connect to the server via the internet or through a local network. On an iPhone 7 with iOS 15.8.3, everything works smoothly. Attachments open without issues. On iOS 18.1.1, attachments do not load, and the session does not close on its own. It takes forever unless the app is closed. In the Gmail app, everything works correctly without any issues. This is clearly a problem with the mail client on iPhone. However, is there anything I can adjust in my server settings to mitigate this issue for users?

Bug: Inconsistency in configuration between various clients.
by Louis Schmitz 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

We found out about this through a misconfiguration in our web panel. In the main config file the following line includes a subdirectory; !include conf.d/*.conf The web panel created the following two relevant configuration snippets in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ 11-plesk-security-ssl.conf > ssl_dh=</opt/psa/etc/dhparams2048.pem > ssl_min_protocol=TLSv1.2 > ssl_cipher_list=EECDH+AESGCM+AES128:EECDH+AESGCM+AES256:EECDH+CHACHA20:EECDH+SHA256+AES128:EECDH+SHA384+AES256:EECDH+SHA1+AES128:EECDH+SHA1+AES256:EECDH+HIGH:AESGCM+AES128:AESGCM+AES256:CHACHA20:SHA256+AES128:SHA256+AES256:SHA1+AES128:SHA1+AES256:HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!RC4:!3DES:!MD5:!PSK:!KRB5:!aECDH:!kDH:!EDH > ssl_prefer_server_ciphers=yes > ssl=yes > ssl_cert=</etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem > ssl_key=</etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem This sets a server wide certificate as being the cert in /etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem. Let's say our main server domain is 'acme.com' for example, its 'hostname' (linux hostname) is for example 's02.acme.com'. Then it would also create 14-plesk-sni-mail.acme.com.conf, containing something akin to: > local_name mail.acme.com { > ssl_cert = </opt/psa/var/certificates/scf7b9lcY > ssl_key = </opt/psa/var/certificates/scf7b9lcY > } These point to the ssl cert and key configured for that specific vhost (not the entire server), which can be different from that configured for the server. When some clients connected to the server (connecting to mail.acme.com) it would serve the /etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem certificate. This was renewed and the clients would work without issue. Other clients, however, used the certificate at /opt/psa/var/certificates/scf7b9lcY. This certificate is supposed to be the same, but expired and wasn't renewed along with the other one. This was tricky to figure out since the problems did not appear on our side, only when looking at a client. Once I went around the panel GUI and into the actual dovecot configuration files I found the culprit(s). I think, but do not know, that it could be related to which IP protocol (V4 or V6) is used to connect to dovecot. All clients who failed happened to connect over V6. The cases that did not used V4. This seems entirely unrelated and strange behaviour that must be a bug of some kind. Either both should use the one certificate, or the other, or there should be an error or warning if local_name includes a variant subdomain of the server name, the latter in addition to making a consistent choice. It appears that sometimes the first relevant ssl_key and ssl_cert are used, and other times the second when the option is included twice in the configuration, pointing to different matching certificates/keys. It's not apparently a race condition: The behaviour is very consistent for the same client connecting.

I’m running Dovecot 2.3.21.1 using Authentik for OAuth authentication. I’m using SOGo 5.12.0 as a UI, also with OAuth authentication.

Dovecot and IP check at the user connection (auth-worker problems: no IP...)
by ik7xja＠gmail.com 26 Mar '25

26 Mar '25

Hi to all, I'm using Postfix and Dovecot for my little server. I'm experimenting many false user caming fron the entire world to access to my account. I'm only in a country and I would like to restrict accesso to user coming from IPs located in my country. Since the access is granteg by mysql and SQL in passdb and userdb, I've created a table with only the IPs of my country and check the user remote IP. The trick is working well when I try to access to my account beacuse the variable "%r" is not empy... But... But when there is a delivery of a new message, the auth-worker have no IP and the check fail: auth-worker<5>: sql(user(a)my.domain): unknown user and the new message, coming in my box from other servers come back to the sender as "unknown user" There is a way to user a different query in this auth-worker process (I guess is using the same SQL with the IP-check)? Or "force" an IP (like 127.0.0.1) in the auth-worker invocation? Thanks in advance for any advice.

26 Mar '25

Hello, if I try to retrieve crypt_private_key_file from userdb/ldap doesn't work, infact if I have: crypt_global_private_key main{ crypt_private_key_password=secret crypt_private_key_file=/path/to/file } all is ok. If I want to have: crypt_global_private_key main{ crypt_private_key_password=secret crypt_private_key_file= } userdb ldap { driver = ldap ..... fields { mail_crypt_global_private_key/main/crypt_private_key_file=inline:%{ldap:key} } } I have into logs: lmtp(134879): Fatal: Raw user initialization failed: mail_crypt_plugin: nuovo: Couldn't parse private key : Unknown key format I am sure that the key is correctly base64 encoded, infact if I pick the ldap value of %{ldap:key} and I decode base64 I have the pkey crypted key. Any suggestion?
