As you can see in this snip of the maillog, the domain part of the username is being stripped away: Sep 6 23:12:40 vaj dovecot[114637]: auth-worker(114662): Debug: conn unix:auth-worker (pid=114660,uid=97): auth-worker<2>: passwd(gumby(a)example.com,10.0.0.70,<YlSArw3oaqoKAABG>): Performing userdb lookup Sep 6 23:12:40 vaj dovecot[114637]: auth-worker(114662): Debug: conn unix:auth-worker (pid=114660,uid=97): auth-worker<2>: passwd(gumby(a)example.com,10.0.0.70,<YlSArw3oaqoKAABG>): lookup Sep 6 23:12:40 vaj dovecot[114637]: auth-worker(114662): Debug: conn unix:auth-worker (pid=114660,uid=97): auth-worker<2>: passwd(gumby(a)example.com,10.0.0.70,<YlSArw3oaqoKAABG>): username changed gumby(a)example.com -> gumby Sep 6 23:12:40 vaj dovecot[114637]: auth-worker(114662): Debug: conn unix:auth-worker (pid=114660,uid=97): auth-worker<2>: passwd(gumby,10.0.0.70,<YlSArw3oaqoKAABG>): Finished userdb lookup This means that my mail_location will fail since it stores mail by user and domain. dovecot -n: # 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 5.19.6-200.fc36.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 36 (Thirty Six) # Hostname: vaj.example.com auth_debug = yes auth_default_realm = EXAMPLE.COM auth_gssapi_hostname = $ALL auth_krb5_keytab = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-krb5.keytab auth_mechanisms = gssapi login plain auth_realms = example.com auth_username_format = %u auth_verbose = yes debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/debug info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/info log_path = /var/log/dovecot/error log_timestamp = "%Y.%m.%d %H:%M:%S " mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir/%d mbox_write_locks = fcntl 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 { driver = pam } ssl = no ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_cipher_list = PROFILE=SYSTEM ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { driver = passwd override_fields = mail=maildir:%h/Maildir/%d } verbose_ssl = yes How can I get around this issue?

Permission denied UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?))
by Austin Witmer 07 Sep '22

07 Sep '22

Hello all! Recently I upgraded my mail server to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and ever since then I am periodically getting some dovecot errors like the below in my mail log. As far as I can tell, my unix perms are just fine. What is ACL/MAC? Aug 20 14:41:58 mail dovecot: imap(user(a)domain.com)<56316><1NieGKPmuOdKwxVI>: Error: Mailbox INBOX: stat(/mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.index.lo… failed: Permission denied (euid=1000(austin) egid=1000(austin) UNIX perms appear ok (ACL/MAC wrong?)) And here is the listing showing the permissions for that file. austin@mail:~$ ls -la /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log -rwxrwxr-- 1 austin austin 15796 Aug 20 14:41 /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/domain.com/user/dovecot.index.log What in the world is causing these errors, and what can I do about them? Thanks in advance! Austin Witmer

Config file syntax: secrets from file in key=value
by Tobias Florek 06 Sep '22

06 Sep '22

Hi! I'd like to set up proxy authentication. This works fine, but I cannot get the passwords in to be read from file. Specifically I have this passdb block. passdb { driver = passwd-file mechanisms = plain scram-sha-256 default_fields = proxy=y host=dovecot-backend master=imapc-master-user proxy_mech=plain pass=</run/secrets/dovecot.imapc-master-user/password args = /run/secrets/dovecot.generated.app-passwd-file/passwd } This sets the password to the string /run/secrets/dovecot.imapc-master-user/password. I'd like the password to be set to the content of said file. Is it possible to get the password from a file or less desirable from the environment? Reading https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/config_file/ I assume it's not. Cheers, Tobias Florek

Bypass quota check
by Gabriele Nencioni 05 Sep '22

05 Sep '22

Hi all, I have the following quota configuration: lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = no mail_plugins = notify mail_log quota quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/dovecot-quota quota_exceeded_message = Quota exceeded quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-warning -q 100 -n %n -d %d -e OverQuota quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning -q 80 -n %n -d %d -e FillQuota quota_warning3 = -storage=99%% quota-warning -q 99 -n %n -d %d -e InQuota quota_full_tempfail = yes service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/dovecot/quotamanager.sh unix_listener quota-warning { mail_plugins = notify mail_log quota imap_quota imap_sieve mail_plugins = notify mail_log quota sieve and the quota_rule (per-user) is retrieved by a specific SQL query in my userdb. I'm wondering if there is a way to send an email to an account even if it's in overquota? In other words: is there a way to bypass (or skip) the quota check, maybe setting a sort of ACL, for example if an email comes from a specific ip address? Thanks in advance Regards, -- Gabriele Nencioni

Thousands of SSL certificates stalls new logins during reload - problem with Dovecot config process
by Bartosz Kwitniewski 05 Sep '22

05 Sep '22

Hello, I'm running a dovecot 2.3.19.1 server that has around 6000 SSL certificates in separate config files, each containing: local_name "domain" { ssl_cert = ... ssl_key = ... } When new certificate is added, dovecot is reloaded (around 20 times a day). When dovecot is being reloaded, users are unable to log in for around 30 seconds. The main problem here seems to be that during reload, new config process is immediately designated as the one serving config requests and then it starts parsing config files, which takes around 20-30 seconds. If it would parse config files first, and only then would become a new process for serving config requests, then it would probably solve the problem. Or perhaps there is a better way to load new certificates or a way to optimize? There is another problem with config process and shutdown_clients=no. We do not want to disconnect users during reload, because e.g. Thunderbird displays a popup that server is shutting down. When there are long lasting IMAP connections from Google and other services that aggregate e-mail, old config process is not being killed. Because config process with ~6000 certificates is using ~1 GB of RAM, it can quickly rise to 20 GB of memory used.

Call procmail after sieve
by George Asenov 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

Hello, I'm trying to achieve the following scenario with dovecot + sieve + procmail. Dovecot is set as LDA in postfix (if this makes any difference) I need to set sieve that after it has executed all it's scripts (including before, ~/.sieve etc) and if keep is in still in effect to call procmail to also execute the custom user filters and then return (if it is not forwarded elsewhere or some) to dovecot for normal delivery. If you ask this I need this for backward compatibility. I now use procmail for local delivery,spam/virus filtering, and users have set a lot of custom filters/redirects. mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail-wrapper -o -a $DOMAIN -d $LOGNAME I want to migrate to dovecot as lda and sieve for filtering but to keep procmail working for a while. I have tried to follow (partially) this guide https://www.enricozini.org/blog/2022/debian/migrating-from-procmail-to-siev… but procmail fails to execute ########################## Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail: Establishing connection Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail: Forked child process Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Connected to program Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Finished streaming payload to program Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Finished input to program Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Disconnected Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Waiting for program to finish after 0 msecs (timeout = 10000 msecs) Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112153]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Fatal: execvp(/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail) failed: Permission denied Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Child process ended Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Terminated with non-zero exit code 75 Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Debug: program exec:/var/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/procmail (112153): Destroy Aug 30 15:22:26 uk7 dovecot[112151]: lda(test-uk7.teststring567.tk)<112151><BlNhECIdDmMXtgEAsVjU+A>: Error: sieve: failed to execute to program `procmail': refer to server log for more information.

Lazy Expunge - why oh why deprecating namespace storage for this
by Matt Bryant 01 Sep '22

01 Sep '22

Hi Dovecot, Noticed on your web site that you have marked lazy_expunge storage location to namespace as deprecated since v2.3.0 and suggest a single mailbox with acl is the way to go. This seems to be a backward step for those that make use of the alt storage facility. Is there anyway we can persuade you NOT to deprecate this - it still works atm Why ? Well scenario time .... Installations make use of alt-storage feature so that new messages can be stored along with indexes etc on faster storage, whilst offloading older less viewed mail to a different storage tier. With storage to namespace - that namespace can have a location set that separates it from the mailbox (maybe even on a 3rd tier of storage) BUT with the mailbox solution then any deleted mail will in fact return from the alternate storage to the primary storage, and then will need to have a job run to alt-move it back off the faster storage to sit with the older messages and also can no longer be a potential 3rd tier of storage. This seems crazy and in fact some of reason mdbox is avoided since purging an mdbox means that any messages on alt-storage gets pulled back to primary storage. Alternately are there plans to allow a mailbox to have a 'location' in which case the location of the expunge mailbox could be set differently ? rgds Matt

where to setup virtual_mailbox_maps
by frakass 31 Aug '22

31 Aug '22

Hello, I have a domain in virtual_mailbox_domains: aaa.com I have also the virtual_alias_domains which include: bbb.com I know how to forward x(a)bbb.com to y(a)aaa.com by setting up the file "virtual_alias_maps": x(a)bbb.com y(a)aaa.com (and run postmap after the changes.) But, how can I setup virtual_mailbox_maps (if I name this correctly)? for example, 111(a)aaa.com forwards to 222(a)aaa.com. Thank you.

multiple / backup sql servers for sql server access
by Jack Snodgrass 31 Aug '22

31 Aug '22

I am using this file: dovecot-sql.conf.ext and in there I have a connect = "host=<dbserver> dbname=<dbname> user=<dbuser> password=<dbpass>" My <dbserver> was down and I lost mail access for a few days before I realized that there was an issue. How can I specify a backup server so that if my primary sql server goes down, a backup sql server will be queried? -- jack
