Error: connect(ipc-proxy) failed: Permission denied

Hello: We have got 2 directors and three backend mailbox servers. I get the following error " Error: connect(ipc-proxy) failed: Permission denied". I have read the article https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-August/137349.html and we have done as signaled in the two director servers with no success, So, we have tried now to set it like this: service ipc { unix_listener ipc { user = dovecot # This is already the default in v2.3.1+ group = mode = 0777 } } that cause the socket to have full permissions: srwxrwxrwx 1 dovecot root 0 ago 8 10:00 /var/run/dovecot/ipc but even so, I still get the same behaviour. And when you try "doveadm director kick user" , nothing happens Can anyone give me any hint.

You have lmtp as unix socket configured but want to access from remote via tcp socket?

Hi, looked into the [ dovecot wiki ] but a search for [ lmtps ] came up empty and thus hoping to get some assistance here.

dsync not replicating ".dovecot.sieve -> .sieve/managesieve.sieve"
by Tony 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hi, Currently using dovecot 2.3.2.1 and pigeonhole 0.5.2 on two identical hosts. I recently noticed ".dovecot.sieve" and ".sieve/managesieve.sieve" are not replicating from one host to the other in either direction. Mail is having no trouble replicating on both hosts with dsync, it is only sieve files that are not replicating for unclear reasons. # doveconf -n host 1: https://ptpb.pw/njs3 host 2: https://ptpb.pw/KsfK If I enable sieve debug logs I don't see anything that would cause alarm. The error logs are also not reporting any trouble. I have tested creating filters in Roundcube which is hosted from host1. This creates the sieve files as expected, but the same sieve files do not replicate to host2. When using Sieve with Thunderbird if the sieve files are created on host1 or host2, these are not replicating with dsync. So it does not seem to matter if the sieve files are created on either host and with any mail client, they just do not replicate at all. # host1 stat /home/vmail/example.email/user\(a)example.email/.dovecot.sieve File: /home/vmail/example.email/user(a)example.email/.dovecot.sieve -> .sieve/managesieve.sieve Size: 24 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 symbolic link Device: 800h/2048d Inode: 596605 Links: 1 Access: (0777/lrwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 5000/ vmail) Gid: ( 5000/ vmail) Access: 2018-08-05 15:24:41.351827516 -0700 Modify: 2018-08-05 15:24:41.351827516 -0700 Change: 2018-08-05 15:24:41.351827516 -0700 Birth: - stat /home/vmail/example.email/user\(a)example.email/.sieve/managesieve.sieve File: /home/vmail/example.email/user(a)example.email/.sieve/managesieve.sieve Size: 65 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 800h/2048d Inode: 1657978 Links: 1 Access: (0600/-rw-------) Uid: ( 5000/ vmail) Gid: ( 5000/ vmail) Access: 2018-08-05 15:27:30.034984088 -0700 Modify: 2018-08-05 15:27:30.034984088 -0700 Change: 2018-08-05 15:27:30.034984088 -0700 Birth: - # host2 stat /home/vmail/example.email/user\(a)example.email/.dovecot.sieve File: /home/vmail/example.email/user(a)example.email/.dovecot.sieve -> .sieve/managesieve.sieve Size: 24 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 symbolic link Device: fe03h/65027d Inode: 787482 Links: 1 Access: (0777/lrwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 5000/ vmail) Gid: ( 5000/ vmail) Access: 2018-08-05 16:10:54.832151815 -0700 Modify: 2018-08-05 16:10:54.815484905 -0700 Change: 2018-08-05 16:10:54.815484905 -0700 Birth: - stat /home/vmail/example.email/user\(a)example.email/.sieve/managesieve.sieve File: /home/vmail/example.email/user(a)example.email/.sieve/managesieve.sieve Size: 18 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fe03h/65027d Inode: 786938 Links: 1 Access: (0600/-rw-------) Uid: ( 5000/ vmail) Gid: ( 5000/ vmail) Access: 2018-08-05 16:10:54.815484905 -0700 Modify: 2018-08-05 16:10:49.818745528 -0700 Change: 2018-08-05 16:10:49.822078910 -0700 Birth: - Here is the Maildir tree view. tree -a /home/vmail/example.email/user\(a)example.email/ /home/vmail/example.email/user(a)example.email/ ├── .dovecot.sieve -> .sieve/managesieve.sieve ├── Maildir │ ├── .Archive │ │ ├── cur │ │ ├── dovecot.index.log │ │ ├── dovecot-uidlist │ │ ├── maildirfolder │ │ ├── new │ │ └── tmp │ ├── cur │ │ ├── 1531611877.M860311P418538.mail,S=5999,W=6167:2,RS │ │ ├── 1531624146.M201381P535494.mail,S=2133,W=2184:2,S │ │ ├── 1533194577.M483202P864896.mail,S=6117,W=6393:2,S │ │ └── 1533195582.M123163P877084.mail,S=1739,W=1786:2,S │ ├── dovecot.index │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ ├── dovecot.index.log │ ├── dovecot-keywords │ ├── dovecot.list.index │ ├── dovecot.list.index.log │ ├── dovecot.mailbox.log │ ├── dovecot-uidlist │ ├── dovecot-uidvalidity │ ├── dovecot-uidvalidity.5b4a79b5 │ ├── .Drafts │ │ ├── cur │ │ ├── dovecot.index.log │ │ ├── dovecot-uidlist │ │ ├── maildirfolder │ │ ├── new │ │ └── tmp │ ├── maildirsize │ ├── new │ ├── .Sent │ │ ├── cur │ │ │ ├── 1531611855.M403833P418688.mail,S=3510,W=3623:2,S │ │ │ └── 1531624037.M238133P535494.mail,S=436,W=451:2,S │ │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ │ ├── dovecot.index.log │ │ ├── dovecot-uidlist │ │ ├── maildirfolder │ │ ├── new │ │ └── tmp │ ├── .Sent Messages │ │ ├── cur │ │ ├── dovecot.index.log │ │ ├── dovecot-uidlist │ │ ├── maildirfolder │ │ ├── new │ │ └── tmp │ ├── .Spam │ │ ├── cur │ │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ │ ├── dovecot.index.log │ │ ├── dovecot-uidlist │ │ ├── maildirfolder │ │ ├── new │ │ └── tmp │ ├── subscriptions │ ├── tmp │ └── .Trash │ ├── cur │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ ├── dovecot.index.log │ ├── dovecot-uidlist │ ├── maildirfolder │ ├── new │ └── tmp └── .sieve ├── managesieve.sieve └── tmp 30 directories, 41 files I know at one point sieve files must have been replicating with dsync, it's just not clear to me at which version of dovecot and pigeonhole this began with the exception of mail files which are replicating.

Assertion failure with IMAP NOTIFY
by Florian Pritz 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

Hi, For a few weeks I've been running a custom notification script[1] that uses IMAP NOTIFY. The script uses a single connection, sets up a NOTIFY watch on a couple of mailboxes + automatic FETCH for the selected mailbox. If a status update arrives for a different mailbox, it selects that box and fetches the mail. Today I got the following error in the log: > Aug 5 14:56:12 karif dovecot[1881]: imap(xxxx)<22699><TBjUXqtyZI5R2c0k>: Panic: file mail.c: line 242 (mail_get_header_stream): assertion failed: (headers->box == mail->box) > Aug 5 14:56:12 karif dovecot[1881]: imap(xxxx)<22699><TBjUXqtyZI5R2c0k>: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xcfbff) [0x7fda11806bff] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xcfcba) [0x7fda11806cba] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x414bb) [0x7fda117784bb] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x3566e) [0x7fda11aec66e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(imap_msgpart_open+0x43b) [0x7fda11bb3a1b] -> dovecot/imap(+0x211ed) [0x55e00d2a21ed] -> dovecot/imap(+0x1f69c) [0x55e00d2a069c] -> dovecot/imap(imap_fetch_more_no_lock_update+0xf) [0x55e00d2a17ff] -> dovecot/imap(+0x23891) [0x55e00d2a4891] -> dovecot/imap(imap_client_notify_newmails+0xfa) [0x55e00d2a4a6a] -> dovecot/imap(imap_sync_more+0x755) [0x55e00d2a9f75] -> dovecot/imap(+0x29006) [0x55e00d2aa006] -> dovecot/imap(cmd_sync_delayed+0x27b) [0x55e00d2aa50b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handle_timeouts+0x10d) [0x7fda1181c82d] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xd2) [0x7fda1181df52] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x4d) [0x7fda1181caad] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x41) [0x7fda1181cc11] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x14) [0x7fda117a0074] -> dovecot/imap(main+0x342) [0x55e00d28fb82] -> /usr/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xeb) [0x7fda1139e06b] -> dovecot/imap(_start+0x2a) [0x55e00d28fd1a] > Aug 5 14:56:12 karif dovecot[1881]: imap(xxxx)<22699><TBjUXqtyZI5R2c0k>: Fatal: master: service(imap): child 22699 killed with signal 6 (core not dumped - https://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#coredumps - set /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable to 2) I'm not sure what happened exactly, but I can tell you that a new mail, that went to the selected mailbox (INBOX), was arriving at the time of the crash.

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 05 Aug '18

05 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! :)
