[FOR THE RECORD] CLIENTID Extension for IMAP/SMTP AUTH in dovecot
by Michael Peddemors 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

More and more email clients are now starting to support the CLIENTID extension for IMAP, including 'libetpan', SaneBox, BlueMail, and now as of Thunderbird 68.5.0, available there as well. This allows for a form of native two factor support, permission token, and/or access control to prevent the unauthorized use of email address and password. (For more information, please see the RFC Drafts, or reach out to us off list for details) While the version of dovecot we use has supported it for some time now, we would like to make it available for more email providers who use dovecot. For the record, for those interested in having your dovecot support transparent multi-factor, in your implementation, you will have to compile it with the patch listed in: https://github.com/dovecot/core/pull/86 Once that is done, please feel free to reach out to us for the dovecot plugin, that enables CLIENTID to be supported in the IMAP protocol. -- "Catch the Magic of Linux..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael Peddemors, President/CEO LinuxMagic Inc.

Doveadm Sync problem with symbolic folders
by Gianluca Scaglia 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Hi, i have two servers (debian 10) that synchronize the emails bidirectionally with Doveadm Sync (dovecot 2.3.4.1). Before updating to debian 10, then with dovecot 2.2, I could also synchronize symbolic folders (made with ln-s) without any problems. Now, however, it continues to create temporary folders (e.g. Sent-temp-1 etc.) and I am forced to stop synchronization. Is there any way to make Doveadm Sync ignore symbolic folders? Thanks a lot, Luca Scaglia

feature request for setting alternative pidfile
by Bjoern Jacke 12 Feb '20

12 Feb '20

Hi, because of an unsupported combination of configuration parameters for different dovecot services I looked into setting up two dovecot instances with different configurations on the same host. It looks like running two different dovecot instances on the same host is not easily possible because the pidfile seems to be hard-coded and there is no way to tell dovecot to use a different one, right? It would be great if this could be made customizable. Björn

Dovecot/doveadm quota
by Martynas Bendorius 12 Feb '20

Hello, Is there any reason why dovecot relies on S= instead of real disk size email takes? 1) compressed mails take less than than the S= specified 2) we could avoid using "S=" for the lookups and count every file there, including indexes and mails without S=... if we'd read filesizes Eample: # ls -l '1567026317.M331058P4751.testing.server.com,S=3086,W=3148:2,S' -rw------- 1 dev mail 1274 Aug 29 00:05 1567026317.M331058P4751.testing.server.com,S=3086,W=3148:2,S Proposed patch (solves #1, not sure about your opinion on #2): --- src/plugins/quota/quota-maildir.c.orig 2020-02-05 19:21:08.582998417 -0700 +++ src/plugins/quota/quota-maildir.c 2020-02-05 19:21:22.184998798 -0700 @@ -84,7 +84,7 @@ p = strstr(dp->d_name, ",S="); num = (uoff_t)-1; - if (p != NULL) { + if (0 && p != NULL) { /* ,S=nnnn[:,] */ p += 3; for (num = 0; *p >= '0' && *p <= '9'; p++) @@ -104,7 +104,7 @@ str_truncate(path, len); str_append(path, dp->d_name); if (stat(str_c(path), &st) == 0) { - *total_bytes += st.st_size; + *total_bytes += st.st_blocks * 512; *total_count += 1; } else if (errno != ENOENT && errno != ESTALE) { *error_r = t_strdup_printf( Thank you! -- Best regards, Martynas Bendorius
