Sieve test string and case sensitivity
by Kim Minh Kaplan 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hello, I have found that Pigeonhole comes with an extensive testsuite against the Sieve RFCs. As I am working on a personal Sieve project I decided to run my tool on this testsuite and it stumbled on "Basic assignment: string test failed"[1]. Pigeonhole defaults to comparator "i;octet"[2] for the string test. But Sieve says that the default comparator should be "i;ascii-casemap"[3]. Did I miss some other part of the standard? Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you, Kim Minh.

Sieve addheader directive works only partially
by Peter Folta 25 May '20

25 May '20

Hi all, I want to add a custom header to incoming emails from a particular sender. This is what my user Sieve script looks like: require “editheader”; if address :is "From” “special-sender(a)example.xn--com-9o0a { addheader “X-My-Custom-Header” “Header Value"; } I have enabled the editheader extension in my Dovecot configuration: plugin { … sieve_extensions = +editheader } This doesn’t seem to work and no header is added to the email. However, if I also move the email to a different folder in the same if-block, the header gets added just fine: require “editheader”; require “fileinto”; if address :is "From” “special-sender(a)example.xn--com-9o0a { addheader “X-My-Custom-Header” “Header Value”; fileinto “MyFolder”; } Am I missing something? Thanks Peter

missing man page for “doveadm dsync-server”?
by Felipe Gasper 24 May '20

24 May '20

Hello, Is there a man page for this command? I don’t see one in the repository. Given its utility in, e.g., syncing mailboxes via SSH, it seems like documentation for this command would be useful? Thank you! -Felipe Gasper

Dovecot passdb and postfix login
by Laura Smith 23 May '20

23 May '20

Hi, Long story short I've got a fully functional Dovecot IMAP instance and I am now looking to upgrade some perimiter authenticated SMTP relays to authenticate against the Dovecot instance. Trouble is that I am seeing errors such as "auth: Warning: sql: Ignoring changed user_query in /etc/dovecot/local_sql_users.conf, because userdb sql not used." in my Postfix server logs and not able to successfully authenticate via AUTH LOGIN on the Postfi instance. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious from my config ? Here is the doveconf -n from the Postfix server in question: # 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.19.0-9-amd64 x86_64 Debian 10.4 # Hostname: foobar.example.com auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = sha1:7 disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u 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 { args = /etc/dovecot/local_sql_users.conf driver = sql } service auth { inet_listener { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 7425 } inet_listener { address = ::1 port = 7425 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-authrelay/private/dovecot-auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl = no The local_sql_users.conf is the same one that's used on the functioning IMAP servers, just copied accross to the authenticated relay server: $ sudo cat /etc/dovecot/local_sql_users.conf driver = pgsql connect = host=foo dbname=bar user=secret password=squirrel default_pass_scheme = ARGON2ID password_query = select dovecot_username as user,password from get_user('%u') user_query = select 'vmail' as uid, 'vmail' as gid iterate_query = select dovecot_username as user from get_users()

Sieve regexp matches wrong
by kverizhnikov 23 May '20

23 May '20

Hello! Recently I've faced with strange issue. So, I want to filter some mails which do not contain cyrillic symbols. I would not like receive email on foreign language except russian and I'm using rule below, but it does not work when text of mail has unicode symbol u2019 or ’ - right single quotation mark. |require ["body","regex"];| |# rule:[Regexp test]| |if not body :text :regex ".*[аАбБвВгГдДеЕёЁжЖзЗиИйЙкКлЛмМнНоОпПрРсСтТуУфФхХцЦчЧшШщЩъЪыЫьЬэЭюЮяЯ].*"| |{| | discard;| | stop;| |}| I checked this behavior on different versions of dovecot and pigeonhole, and it was the same in all cases. If I change u2019 to, for instance to apostrophe, it begins work as I expect - the mail discarded. Below some information which was got from sieve-test utility. The text consist of only one phrase *Test’test*. Check string *Test’test *- without u2019, using apostrophe root@a4e4b17d33a1:/srv/mail# tail -2 1586937347.M574837P24389.vps.kveri.ru\,S\=1904\,W\=1944\:2\,S Test'test sieve-test output * Script metadata (block: 0): class = file class.version = 0 location = /srv/mail/roundcube.sieve * Required extensions (block: 1): 0: body (id: 18) 1: regex (id: 13) * Main program (block: 2): Address Line Code 00000000: DEBUG BLOCK: 3 00000001: EXTENSIONS [2]: 00000002: body 00000004: regex 00000006: 3: BODY 00000007: BODY-TRANSFORM: TEXT 0000000b: match type: regex 0000000d: key list: STR[138] ".*[аАбБвВгГдДеЕёЁжЖзЗиИйЙкКлЛмМнНоОпПрРс... 0000009b: 3: JMPTRUE 6 [000000a2] 000000a0: 5: DISCARD 000000a1: 6: STOP 000000a2: 6: [End of code] Performed actions: * discard Implicit keep: (none) In this case the rule works as I expect The second test *Test’test* with ’ instead of apostrophe root@a4e4b17d33a1:/srv/mail# tail -2 1586937347.M574837P24389.vps.kveri.ru\,S\=1904\,W\=1944\:2\,S Test’test sieve-test output * Script metadata (block: 0): class = file class.version = 0 location = /srv/mail/roundcube.sieve * Required extensions (block: 1): 0: body (id: 18) 1: regex (id: 13) * Main program (block: 2): Address Line Code 00000000: DEBUG BLOCK: 3 00000001: EXTENSIONS [2]: 00000002: body 00000004: regex 00000006: 3: BODY 00000007: BODY-TRANSFORM: TEXT 0000000b: match type: regex 0000000d: key list: STR[138] ".*[аАбБвВгГдДеЕёЁжЖзЗиИйЙкКлЛмМнНоОпПрРс... 0000009b: 3: JMPTRUE 6 [000000a2] 000000a0: 5: DISCARD 000000a1: 6: STOP 000000a2: 6: [End of code] Performed actions: (none) Implicit keep: * store message in folder: INBOX In this case email "was located" into INBOX, but I expected it should be discarded. As I said this behavior does not depend on dovecot and pigeonhole version - I've tried dovecot 2.3.7, 2.2.30.x, 2.3.9.3 and 2.3.10, pigeonhole 0.5.7.2, 0.5.9 and 0.5.10, fresh install and working in docker container. The dovecot-sysreport was taken from the last one. What am I doing wrong? Is it pigeonhole bug or smth like that?

Convert standalone mbox to standalone Maildir with Dsync - hierarchy separator error
by Sam Kuper 22 May '20

22 May '20

Dear Dovecot users/devs, I have the following mbox file: /tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September I would like to convert it to a Maildir: /tmp/dsync_test/maildir (Currently, the latter is just an empty directory.) I am attempting this on an old PC running Debian 9 ("Stretch"). I installed the dovecot-core package in order to make the `dsync` tool available on that PC. I have not otherwise done anything with Dovecot on that PC; for instance, I have not created or edited any Dovecot config files. `man dsync` gives the Dovecot version as 2.2. Inspired by the man page and the Dovecot wiki, here was my first attempt to perform the conversion. (I have added newlines between each line of the output, for readability.) $ dsync -Dv -o 'mail_location=maildir:/tmp/dsync_test/maildir' \ backup \ mbox:/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/:INBOX=/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm Debug: Skipping module doveadm_acl_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so: undefined symbol: acl_lookup_dict_iterate_visible_next (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) Debug: Skipping module doveadm_expire_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_expire_plugin.so: undefined symbol: expire_set_deinit (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) Debug: Skipping module doveadm_quota_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_quota_plugin.so: undefined symbol: quota_user_module (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) Debug: Skipping module doveadm_fts_lucene_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib20_doveadm_fts_lucene_plugin.so: undefined symbol: lucene_index_iter_deinit (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) Debug: Skipping module doveadm_fts_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/lib20_doveadm_fts_plugin.so: undefined symbol: fts_user_get_language_list (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) Debug: Skipping module doveadm_mail_crypt_plugin, because dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/doveadm/libdoveadm_mail_crypt_plugin.so: undefined symbol: mail_crypt_box_get_pvt_digests (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) doveadm(sampablokuper): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/sampablokuper doveadm(sampablokuper): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/tmp/dsync_test/maildir doveadm(sampablokuper): Debug: maildir++: root=/tmp/dsync_test/maildir, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/tmp/dsync_test/maildir, alt= doveadm(sampablokuper): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /tmp/dsync_test/maildir: mode=0755 gid=default dsync(sampablokuper): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/sampablokuper dsync(sampablokuper): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=mbox:/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/:INBOX=/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September dsync(sampablokuper): Debug: fs: root=/tmp/dsync_test/mbox, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/tmp/dsync_test/mbox/2002-September, alt= dsync(sampablokuper): Error: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace) As you can see, it ends with "Error: Mail locations must use the same virtual mailbox hierarchy separator (specify separator for the default namespace)".

What causes mails to get striked-over only, and not deleted?
by Sebastian Nielsen 22 May '20

22 May '20

I have tried with this sieve config: imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Sent imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND imapsieve_mailbox1_after = file:/etc/dovecot/sieve/sent.sieve and this sieve file (sent.sieve): discard; This should clearly cause the mail to be deleted right? But whats happen, is that the mail is not deleted, its just marked for deletion (gets a strike-through in Microsoft Outlook). (have tried with _before too, but it wont help). What can I do to ensure the mail actually gets deleted (completely, not moved to trash) and not just flagged for deletion?
