Sieve Symlink Error
by Benjamin Rose 01 Jul '24

01 Jul '24

Hello, I'm in the process of moving our mail server from RHEL 6 to RHEL 9. We will be moving to: # dovecot --version 2.3.16 (7e2e900c1a) My issue is that sieve does not appear to work on the new setup, where it does work on the old one. I made a simple filter rule: # cat /u/mail0test/.sieve/ingo.sieve # Sieve Filter # Generated by Ingo (http://www.horde.org/apps/ingo/) (06/28/2024, 11:14:52 PM) require "fileinto"; # Test if header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "Subject" "filtertest" { fileinto "Fun"; stop; } Upon sending an email to this test account, the following appears in /var/log/maillog: Jun 29 23:19:56 mail5 dovecot[3066980]: lda(mail0test)<3066980><FA8fFtzOgGZkzC4AuM9lWg>: Warning: sieve: file storage: Active sieve script symlink /u/mail0test/.dovecot.sieve is broken: Invalid/unknown path to storage (points to /u/mail0test/.sieve).

I've set the following directives in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf via puppet: augeas { "dovecot_sieve_settings": context => "/files/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf", changes => [ "set plugin/sieve_dir ~/.sieve", "set plugin/sieve_user_log ~/.sieve/log" ], require => Package["dovecot"], notify => Service["dovecot"]; } The full configuration dump is attached. /u in our environment is the path for user homedirs, which is an NFS mount to a NetApp. The OS is Springdale Linux 9.2, a clone of RedHat from before the IBM license change. It will soon be RHEL 9.4 as we have obtained a license, but for all intents and purposes, Springdale 9.2 and RHEL 9.2 should be considered bug-for-bug compatible. The arch is x86_64 with both machines mail5 and mail6 (replicated) having Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6244 CPU @ 3.60GHz and 768gb of memory. I have the same issue with SELinux in both enforcing and permissive modes, so this is not a permissions error due to SELinux. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? I've seen that there have been some previous issues similar to this that ended up being bugs in pigeonhole, so here I am. Thanks, Ben

Glean all from addresses from a users mailbox?
by Austin Witmer 01 Jul '24

01 Jul '24

Hello all! Is there a quick and easy way to search through an entire mailbox for a user on my dovecot server and glean all the “from” email addresses? This user would like a record of all the email addresses who have contacted him. Thanks in advance for your ideas. Austin Witmer

Oauth2 remote IP address
by Scott Q. 27 Jun '24

Anyone knows how to configure Dovecot to send the real remote ip address of the user to the oauth2 provider ( Keycloak in this case ) ? Right now I see the request as coming from the Dovecot server... Thank you, Scott

sieve comparator i;unicode-casemap RFC5051
by Alexey 25 Jun '24

Hello. Am I right that currently there is no chance to compare non-ascii characters case-insensitive? (UTF-8 strings from inside Subject or Body) I'm looking for :comparator i;unicode-casemap, but can't find it. It is described in RFC5051. Regards, Alexey

logging computer name
by hp＠hungpham.no 25 Jun '24

25 Jun '24

I am running Dovecot 2.3.21. One client has multiple computers in their LAN, connecting to my server with a static IP. One or several computers in that LAN keep logging in with failed password, but the Dovecot log only shows the public static IP, like this Jun 25 10:39:20 server-name dovecot[689]: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection closed (auth failed, 2 attempts in 62 secs): user=<xxxx(a)domainyyy.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=client-public-IP, lip=server-IP, TLS, session=<MCLxoK4bksIO8zXR> I tried to enable debug, but there is no more information about the LAN IP or computer names. Is there any setting which helps me with that purpose? So it will be much easier to locate the failed computers in that LAN? Thank you.

From: Nils <dovecot(a)bugblatterbeast.de> > Still, there is no filter rule that would apply to that. Additionally, I > only use "fileinto" actions in my filter rules. No, I meant Thunderbird's rules and filters. If your mail reader decides to not save the message, IMAP and Sireve will never see it. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Only some of my sent emails are stored in sent-folder
by Nils 21 Jun '24

21 Jun '24

Lots of the emails I send aren't stored in the sent folder. It seems that it mostly (but not always) work for sent emails where the main email-address (the one that is also used as login name) is used as sender. It never seems to work when an alias is used as sender name. There isn't any entry in the mail.err log and nothing that looks suspicious to me in the regular mail.log. I didn't notice it at first, because I usually don't check my sent folder that much, but I it seems to have started when I migrated to the new server a few weeks ago. Any idea what could be the reason for it?

It never seems to work when an alias is used as sender name. Sounds to me like some mail reader filtering rule. Ordinarily, dovecot does not handle the capture of outgoing mail, Most of the time, it's the mail reader (MUA) that files outgoing messages to a sent-mail folder, and less commonly, the MTA will do it. Mail readers probably employ their own logic to determine what belongs in the sent mail folder: it could be all outgoing mail, it could be redirected based on some role filter. If you have a repeatable case, check it against your filter rule set. If it's inconsistent (the same message does and does not make it into your sent mail folder), you can look at other causes.
