Is it possible to enable push notifications for iOS/macOS mail clients on a stock dovecot?
by Gerben Wierda 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Now that Apple has abandoned mail server capabilities in macOS Server.app we have to move to an open source solution. I have done this using Macports and it works well (no thanks to Apple as it never published the in 2018 promised migration info for mail services). The MacPorts Apple Push Notification variant based on a patch written a few years ago for dovecot supports APNS but it requires you to export a certificate form your old High Sierra Server.app. With the patch and that certificate, dovecot tells an email client it supports XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE and that makes Apple mail clients think they are talking to macOS Server and they switch to push notifications for updates. Now, that certificate needs to be renewed yearly by Server.app and imported by hand etc. At some point this will stop working (apart from that you need to keep an old macOS Server around to renew) Is there another way to get this working with an open source dovecot, outside of using Apple’s push notification service? Some other standard? Some other service? Probably not, right? G

Using dsync for a single mailbox?
by Wim Lewis 23 Jan '20

23 Jan '20

Is it possble to use `doveadm sync` to migrate a single mailbox? I'm migrating accounts from another IMAP server,and most of the mailboxes are in mbox or maildir format, but a few are in MBX. As far as I can tell the only recommended way to "convert" an MBX mailbox is to sync it via imap. But dsync fails in inscrutable ways, and the documentation is kind of scant on how to control what it does. Even just an example command line showing how to copy remote mailbox FOO into dovecot mailbox BAR would be extremely helpful.

by Domenico Pastore 23 Jan '20

Hello, I have Dovecot configured with Solr for the indexes. I have need your support for upgrade solr 7.7.2 to 8.4.1. Solr 7.7.2 has a security issue CVE-2019-12409. It's possible upgrade of Solr? Dovecot work correctly with Solr 8.x? The Solr documentation recommended after updating: "It is always strongly recommended that you fully reindex your documents after a major version upgrade." There are tips for Dovecot? Br, Domenico

socket dovecot-lmtp is not created anymore

Hello! Since experiments on my testserver two days ago /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp is not created anymore. This the setting in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } I searched nearly the whole system for lmtp but can't find the reason why. What can I do? Debug? Andreas

Cached message size smaller than expected
by Asai 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

Greetings, Can anyone help me to solve this problem? When doveadm sync is running nightly, we have a certain user's mailbox that will not properly sync and the logs give me this error (user private info redacted): Error: Mailbox USER/MAILBOX: UID=79: read(/vmail/domain.org/user/.MAILBOX/cur/1575914253.M611834P7822.triata4,S=… failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (41893 < 41897, box=USER/MAILBOX, UID=79) (read reason=mail stream) I have deleted the dovecot indexes in the synced backup of this mailbox, as well as in the actual user's mailbox itself and I'm still getting this error. What am I missing? Thank you for your help here. -Asai

Getting an extprogram script to work
by Eric Abrahamsen 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

Hi all, I'm trying to do the same thing everyone else is: having rspamd learn_ham or learn_spam depending on where I move a message. My current problem is that Dovecot seems to be reporting success, but nothing ever happens -- the script somehow fails to run. I'm currently using a dummy script that just writes a file to /tmp, until I can get this much working, at least. My bin_dir: --------------------- me@server:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve# ls -l total 40 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 21 03:35 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 12288 Aug 29 06:28 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 112 Jan 21 02:17 report-ham.sieve -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 250 Jan 21 02:17 report-ham.svbin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 112 Jun 3 2019 report-spam.sieve -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 258 Jun 3 2019 report-spam.svbin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 105 Jan 21 03:35 rspamd_ham.sh* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 43 Jun 3 2019 rspamd_spam.sh* --------------------- Then the report-ham.sieve script: --------------------- require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve", "fileinto"]; pipe :copy "rspamd_ham.sh"; #fileinto "INBOX"; --------------------- And the dummy rspamd_ham.sh script: --------------------- #!/bin/bash #exec /usr/bin/rspamc learn_ham tim=`date +%M-%S` echo "${1}" > "/tmp/${tim}_results.txt" --------------------- I can confirm the above script works correctly when run from the command line, both as root and the vmail user. When run as part of the sieve process, no errors are reported, but no file is created under /tmp. From the logs: --------------------- Debug: sieve: Sieve imapsieve plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.4.21 (92477967) loaded Debug: sieve: Sieve Extprograms plugin for Pigeonhole version 0.4.21 (92477967) loaded ...

But that only happens once, then it behaves as above. The "Opened mail UID=XXX" bit changes UID (increments monotonically?) every time. I think that ought to be everything but my dovecot -n.

Authentication per Service
by Oliver Welter 18 Jan '20

18 Jan '20

Hi All, I use dovecot (v2.3.4) with a SQL backend for user authentication, passwords are stored in CRAMMD5 format. My SMTP server uses "doveadm auth" via auth-socket to perform sender authentification. To shut down SMTP access for hacked passwords I want to have a dedicated flag in the user database to allow/disallow SMTP for a user withouth disabling his account for IMAP. So, is there any option to use a separate passdb definition or additional parameters by either setting this in socket definition of "service auth" or using "-x auth_info"? TIA Oliver -- Protect your environment - close windows and adopt a penguin!
