How to prevent, or change priority, of dovecot's FAILed relay-submission to relay's IPv6 address, and submit ONLY/first to IPv4?

Either by (1) trying IPv4 *first*, before IPv6, to avoid the FAIL on submission or (2) turning off submission relay by IPv6 altogether, as I'll never use it What's the config required to do either/both?

debug SMTP commands sent/received to/from the submission service
by Victor Sudakov 09 Apr '21

09 Apr '21

Dear Colleagues, I'm trying to debug SMTP commands clients send to the submission service. I've tried protocol submission { rawlog_dir = /var/tmp/dovecot } but /var/tmp/dovecot remains empty. What am I missing? I'd use Wireshark but the communication between SMTP clients and Dovecot is encrypted after STARTTLS, so Wireshark is pretty useless here. Can you please point me to the right direction to log all SMTP commands? All is happening on Debian/buster, Dovecot 2.3.4.1. -- Victor Sudakov VAS4-RIPE http://vas.tomsk.ru/ 2:5005/49@fidonet

Incorrect value sent to solr
by Łukasz Szczepański 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

Hello, I've recently stumbled upon an error in fts-solr plugin. Dovecot sends "rows" parameter to solr when someone is searching in mailbox, but value of rows can be bigger than int in java. If I understand correctly, rows is equal to the last message id on current imap folder. I have mailbox where last uid value is 2206267083 and when I tried to search in this mailbox I got error 400 - Bad Request. On a Solr side I got an error: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "2206267083" NumberFormat expect an int which max value is 2147483647. Quick test reviles that rows parameter isn't required for correct response from solr. I think that dovecot should check if the value of rows is a correct int, and if not, just skip this argument. Dovecot version: 2.3.11.3 (502c39af9) Solr version: 8.7.0 ------------------ Łukasz Szczepański +48 58 3509284 www.webd.pl [1] Globtel Internet Links: ------ [1] http://www.webd.pl

imapsieve and master user
by André Rodier 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Hello all, I have am imap sieve script, running fine. I would like to check, if it is possible, inside the sieve script, if the current user is a master user or not. I believe this is probably not possible. Otherwise, if it is not possible, I would like to check for an external condition, like an existing file in /tmp or in the mail dir folder, for instance. The issue is that I want my imap sieve script behave differently if the master user is connected. Thanks for any piece of advice. Kind regards, André Rodier

[Sieve] Understand Sieve processing

Hi, I have the following configuration: > cat > /etc/dovecot/conf.d/99-local-sieve.conf << EOF; > plugin { > sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve-spam.sieve > sieve_before2 = /mail/sieve/global_before > sieve_after = /mail/sieve/global_after > sieve = /mail/sieve/%d/%n.sieve > sieve_dir = /mail/sieve/%d/%n > } > EOF > cat /etc/dovecot/sieve-spam.sieve > require ["regex", "fileinto", "imap4flags"]; > > if allof (header :regex "X-Spam-Status" "^Yes") { > fileinto "Spam"; > } (I removed the keyword "stop;" to proceed rule processing, which does not work) Now as a user (/mail/sieve/%d/%n.sieve) I want to create my own "Spam" rule: > require ["regex","reject"]; > # rule:[SPAM] > if allof (header :regex "x-spam-status" "^Yes") > { > reject text: > This E-Mail is SPAM. > . > ; > } I activate the traces and see the following if the e-mail is SPAM: > ## Started executing script 'sieve-spam' > 3: jump if result is false > 3: not jumping > 4: fileinto action > 4: store message in mailbox `Spam' > ## Finished executing script 'sieve-spam' If the e-mail is not SPAM: > ## Started executing script 'sieve-spam' > 3: jump if result is false > 3: jumping to line 4 > ## Finished executing script 'sieve-spam' > > > ## Started executing script 'roundcube' > 3: jump if result is false > 3: jumping to line 10 > ## Finished executing script 'roundcube' So my sieve gets only executed if the e-mail is not SPAM. Thats a bit odd. Could you explain how the sieve processing work and how I can solve this problem? dovecot --version 2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec) on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Best regards Homy

Things are working now. But I'm still baffled why basically the same master.cf config is working on one server but not another. I wonder if different SA configs might be the problem.
