You can also ask dovecot to look up user "somebody" and debug your way from there: doveadm user somebody Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Hi, After upgrading to v2.2.7 yesterday, I am starting to get a larger number of bugs occurring -- unfortunately I hadn't configured things to save core dumps (now done).

[Dovecot] Message parser loops on certain messages (e.g. with a trailing CR character)
by Tomasz Potega 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hi, dovecot's message parser enters an endless loop when fed with certain multipart messages with stray CR characters. parse_next_body_to_boundary() assumes the '\r' might be the beginning of a boundary line, reducing the block size by one: src/lib-mail/message-parser.c: 404 /* no linefeeds in this block. we can just skip it. */ 405 ret = 0; 406 if (block_r->data[block_r->size-1] == '\r') { 407 /* this may be the beginning of the \r\n--boundary */ 408 block_r->size--; 409 } For a block size of 1 (e.g. the trailing '\r' character), dovecot ends up processing zero-sized blocks, calling message_parser_read_more() without skipping the input stream: ... #6 0x00007f94f49374c7 in i_stream_read (stream=0xbe2fc8) at istream.c:167 #7 0x00007f94f49383d5 in i_stream_read_data (stream=0xbe2fc8, data_r=0x7fff2141d6b0, size_r=0x7fff2141d6b8, threshold=1) at istream.c:497 #8 0x00007f94f4918c2b in message_parser_read_more (ctx=0xbe7c10, block_r=0x7fff2141d6a0, full_r=0x7fff2141d667) at message-parser.c:128 #9 0x00007f94f491af67 in message_parser_parse_next_block (ctx=0xbe7c10, block_r=0x7fff2141d6a0) at message-parser.c:1012 #10 0x00007f94f491b2fb in message_parser_parse_body (ctx=0xbe7c10, hdr_callback=0x7f94f4c69a75 <parse_bodystructure_part_header>, context=0xbf0450) at message-parser.c:1075 #11 0x00007f94f4c6a876 in index_mail_parse_body (mail=0xbecd00, field=MAIL_CACHE_IMAP_BODYSTRUCTURE) at index-mail.c:895 #12 0x00007f94f4c6aedb in index_mail_parse_bodystructure (mail=0xbecd00, field=MAIL_CACHE_IMAP_BODYSTRUCTURE) at index-mail.c:1046 #13 0x00007f94f4c6b4a5 in index_mail_get_special (_mail=0xbecd00, field=MAIL_FETCH_IMAP_BODYSTRUCTURE, value_r=0x7fff2141d958) at index-mail.c:1170 #14 0x00007f94f4bfab53 in maildir_mail_get_special (_mail=0xbecd00, field=MAIL_FETCH_IMAP_BODYSTRUCTURE, value_r=0x7fff2141d958) at maildir-mail.c:570 #15 0x00007f94f4c36ea1 in mail_get_special (mail=0xbecd00, field=MAIL_FETCH_IMAP_BODYSTRUCTURE, value_r=0x7fff2141d958) at mail.c:269 #16 0x000000000041c5d7 in fetch_bodystructure (ctx=0xbd6a48, mail=0xbecd00, context=0x0) at imap-fetch.c:678 ... You will find a sample message attached to this mail. I have added a check to see if the parser is past the EOF (and omit reducing the block size then) as a band-aid fix, but this might call for a more elegant solution.

[Dovecot] Config problem: want SSL + local roundcube
by Rich 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hi, Have used dovecot for many years, happy that it worked well without me needing to do anything much! But since the upgrade from v1 to v2.1.7-7 I've come across some config probs. I want IMAP and to force TLS for all internet connections. However, I run RoundCube on the same server (over https) and this needs access too, but this doesn't need to be TLS because it's local anyway. The auto-config update script made some changes, it added the following to force SSL. service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } ssl = required But this seems to forbid the local roundcube service from logging in. Can anyone help me with my config? I had a stab, adding the following, but it didn't work. Was a complete guess anyway! remote 127.0.0.1 { ssl = no service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } } } Here's my full config: # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.2 ext3 auth_default_realm = artfulrobot.com log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " mail_location = maildir:/home/virtual/%d/%n mail_privileged_group = mail passdb { args = username_format=%n /etc/exim4/virtual_domains/%d/passwords driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener auth-client { group = Debian-exim mode = 0660 } user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/mail.artfulrobot.com-with-chain.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/mail.artfulrobot.com.key userdb { args = uid=1001 gid=1001 driver = static } userdb { driver = passwd } Thanks, Rich

[Dovecot] [bug] ssl-params hangs when FIPS is enabled
by Michal Hlavinka 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hi, we found a bug in ssl-params. It calls openssl DH generator for 512 and 1024 bits, but in FIPS mode, openssl won't generate anything for less than 1024, so it fails with: error:0506A06E:Diffie-Hellman routines:DH_BUILTIN_GENPARAMS:key size too small but when DH generator fails, ssl-params hangs forever in io_loop_run: __epoll_wait_nocancel() io_loop_handler_run(..) at ioloop-epoll.c:176 io_loop_run(..) at ioloop.c:406 master_service_run(..) at master-service.c:566 main(..) at main.c:156 Getting system in FIPS mode can be a little tricky, but DH_generator simulated failure can do the trick. Just change ssl-params/ssl-params-openssl.c:generate_dh_paramaters:39 - if (dh == NULL) { + if (1 || dh == NULL) { and when you run ssl-params (with no ssl-parameters.dat), it hangs. Let me know if you need more information. Regards, Michal Hlavinka

[Dovecot] Issue with postfix not handing over e-mails to dovecot
by Tru Pheenix 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

Hello! I have installed postfix with dovecot and postgresql. I have set up SASL authentication for postfix and dovecot and been able to test them successfully. I am able to send sasl authenticated emails through smtpd on postfix using a mail client like Thunderbird. However, now I am unable to receive any e-mails. When I respond to the emails, I get a not delivered failure from postfix. I cannot figure out why postfix is not handing over the e-mails to dovecot. So here are some links to follow: posftconf output: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7318863 doveconf output: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7318896 tail -f /var/log/mail.* output (when receiving mail): https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7318945 Any help to solve this would be highly appreciated. Regards Tru Pheenix
