limit sharing ability to certain users
by simeon.ott＠onnet.ch 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

Hello Is it possible to limit the ability of sharing it’s own mailboxes to only a few users? We have a few sensitive mailboxes of users where the ability to share via IMAP SETACL should be prevented. I tried the following so far… doveadm acl remove -u test(a)onnet.ch <mailto:test@onnet.ch> INBOX user=test(a)onnet.ch <mailto:user=test@onnet.ch> admin but when doing this the admin rights are still there doveadm acl rights -u test(a)onnet.ch <mailto:test@onnet.ch> INBOX vmail@buserver:~$ doveadm acl rights -u test(a)onnet.ch <mailto:test@onnet.ch> INBOX Rights lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert post expunge create delete admin Thanks in advance for your help Simeon

replication fails and corrupts index with zlib enabled
by fauno 04 Aug '18

04 Aug '18

Hi, I have two Debian Jessie servers with Dovecot 2.2.13 TCP replication on that have worked fine for years, but now one of them is running low on disk space, so I wanted to try enabling zlib. I crafted a script following the description given in https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib and xz'ed some inboxes on the stand-by server, the one with low disk space. So every email in those inboxes is xz'ed but the file name hasn't changed and contains the original size. This server is on stand-by so most of the email is replicated unidirectionally to it. But administrative emails like cronjobs and monitoring are delivered locally, so it replicates those to the hot server. The issue appeared when this stand-by server receives such an email and tries to replicate them to the other server. I'm attaching the full snippet of the log from the hot server, because it throws a longer backtrace. The short version is like this: dovecot[8438]: imap(redacted(a)address.org): Error: Cached message size larger than expected (478 > 289) dovecot[8438]: imap(redacted(a)address.org): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /srv/email/address.org/redacted/Maildir/cur/1533393328.M502775P20341.standby_server,S=478:2, to /srv/email/address.org/redacted/Maildir/cur/1533393328.M502775P20341.standby_server,S=289:2, dovecot[8438]: imap(redacted(a)address.org): Error: Corrupted index cache file /srv/email/address.org/redacted/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 45123 After this there's an error and the replication fails. The file is there, it's gzipped and can be zcat'ed but it appears as a blank email on clients. I've recovered a backup but the issue persists. I also changed from xz to gz because the Debian package docs only mention gz and bzip2, but the issue is the same. From what I understand and tested, the stand-by server is receiving the email and compressing it but maintaining the original size on the file name. So that's ok, but when the hot server receives the copy, it believes the size is wrong and changes it to the compressed size. Then for some reason the index gets corrupted. I'm attaching the doveconf for both servers. They're mostly the same, and the only changes introduced were the zlib plugin and its options. Also the script(s) that I used to compress the inboxes. Am I correct? Is it an issue of replicator not understanding the emails are compressed? I couldn't find anything related to zlib with replication. Maybe it's something fixed in newer versions and I should go that rabbit hole? Thanks! :)

Dovecot lifecycle announcement
by Aki Tuomi 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hi! We are giving the following end of life (EOL) statements: For any version before 2.2, we are not going to be providing any patches or fixes. This has been the case before, but we are now officially declaring them EOL. For 2.2 versions, we are going to provide security and critical bug fixes for 2.2.36 only. If you are using 2.2.x version prior to .36, we will not be providing anything other than critical security fixes. This means that if you are experiencing a problem with Dovecot, we need you to upgrade into latest 2.3 release and reproduce the problem there. If this happens, please file a bug report and we are more than happy to take a look! If you are using a 2.2.x version packaged from an Operating System Vendor, please open a bug against them for fixing it. We do not provide patches or bug fixes against these OS Vendor specific releases. 2.3.x is the current main release, which will receive feature, bug and security patches. We accept bug reports against latest 2.3 version or master version of Dovecot. If you need packages for 2.3, please see https://repo.dovecot.org. Thank you for using Dovecot! Note: Users with a commercial agreement with Open-Xchange (Dovecot Pro) have a separate EOL policy, so this announcement does not apply to those customers. Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy

Debugging rules with Pigeonhole Sieve
by Pete Gonzalez 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

I have a lot of rules in my Sieve script. Sometimes an email message ends up in the wrong folder, due to a problem with one of the rules. However, this is very difficult to debug, because I have no idea which rule matched the email. A log file might be helpful, but that wouldn't be readable without shell access to the mail server. This is not a solution that would work for everyday users, who configure their rules via a web page UI. What would be great would be for the Sieve interpreter to append a custom header to each email message after it gets processed. This header would record which Sieve rules matched the email. Does this feature exist already? Or is there a way to accomplish it via the Dovecot server configuration? Thanks!

Managesieve stopped working - Undefined symbol "i_stream_read_memarea"

After upgrading Dovecot to 2.3.2.1 and Pigeonhole to 0.5.2, managesieve stopped working. I'm using FreeBSD ports tree, to build these. Only domains have been modified in below output.

Re: LMTP error, mysterious
by Andras Kemeny 01 Aug '18

you mean i should define another, "fallback" userdb service if prefetch doesn't work for some reason? is it the problem that it's a chicken and egg scenario and with LMTP address verification (from postfix) there is no login beforehand so then dovecot needs to consult the userdb once again and having no fallback mechanism, it gives up? i can understand that, but then it would need to be emphasized in either the prefetch document or the lmtp document on the wiki. i've tried it and now it works, thank you ever so much.

hi (especially to you, Aki), so to solve the previous UID issue, i went the full LMTP route. however, i seem to be having problems with the prefetch userdb (i'm trying to minimize load on the LDAP server). namely, the log says: Aug 2 00:15:35 rhyno postfix/submission/smtpd[21158]: 5EEF35C05C5: client=localhost[127.0.0.1], sasl_method=login, sasl_username=aik Aug 2 00:15:40 rhyno postfix/cleanup[22201]: 5EEF35C05C5: message-id=<20180801221535.5EEF35C05C5(a)beach.rhyno.tech> Aug 2 00:15:40 rhyno postfix/qmgr[17437]: 5EEF35C05C5: from=<pdx(a)pdx.hu>, size=295, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 2 00:15:40 rhyno dovecot: lmtp(20321): Connect from local Aug 2 00:15:40 rhyno dovecot: auth: Error: prefetch(aik(a)rhyno.tech): userdb lookup not possible with only userdb prefetch Aug 2 00:15:40 rhyno dovecot: lmtp(aik(a)rhyno.tech): Error: user aik(a)rhyno.tech: Auth USER lookup failed Aug 2 00:15:41 rhyno postfix/lmtp[22211]: 5EEF35C05C5: to=<aik(a)rhyno.tech>, relay=beach.rhyno.tech[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=13, delays=13/0.01/0/0.03, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (host beach.rhyno.tech[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.3.0 <aik(a)rhyno.tech> Internal error occurred.
