Config problem: Service #0 is missing name
by Chris Ross 25 Mar '18

25 Mar '18

Okay. So following up on the problems I was discussing weeks ago, I have hand-patched dovecot to work around problems that I believe may be in libc and not dovecot. Trying to get the properly built and installed dovecot-2.2.35, however, is giving me an error I haven’t seen before. I presume that something got munged while I was hand-configuring and installing/uninstalling/reinstalling the port in recent weeks. Running on a FreeBSD 11-stable machine, when I run “service dovecot start”, it tells me: % sudo service dovecot start Starting dovecot. Fatal: Error reading configuration: Invalid settings: Service #0 is missing name /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dovecot: WARNING: failed to start dovecot % Surprisingly, googling for “Service #0 is missing name” didn’t yield a suggestion. My config is the same as it had been previously, I believe. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong here? Thanks. - Chris

recipient delimiter and sieve filters
by André Rodier 24 Mar '18

24 Mar '18

Dear all, I have found a way to automatically copy sent emails in the "Sent" folder, but I am not sure it is the simplest and more reliable way on the long term. I am open to suggestions if I miss a feature in Dovecot - or Postfix, that allows me to do this. I vaguely remember an SMTP extension that do that, but my memory could be wrong. First, I use "~" as a recipient delimiter. Then, I set up a postfix senders_bcc_map that add the ~Sent part: andre(a)homebox.space → bcc: andre~Sent(a)homebox.space It worked, except that the emails was marked as new. I tried first to add a global sieve filter like this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Sieve script executed before for user require ["fileinto","imap4flags"]; # Move automatically copied emails to the sent folder # And mark them as read if header :contains "Delivered-To" "~Sent" { setflag "\\Seen"; fileinto "Sent"; } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- But it did not work, so maybe there is a trick I am not aware of. If I use the "Received" header and a regex, it works ---------------------------------------------------------------------- require ["fileinto","imap4flags","regex"]; if header :regex "Received" "for <[a-z]+~Sent(a)homebox.space>;" { setflag "\\Seen"; fileinto "Sent"; } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is working perfectly, but there is limitations, IMHO. - If the recipient delimiter is not compatible with a regex (e.g. "+"), then the script will probably fail. - Parsing every new email using a regular expression might not be the best option in term of system load. So, I finally use this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Move automatically copied emails to the sent folder # And mark them as read require ["fileinto","imap4flags"]; if header :contains "Received" "~Sent" { setflag "\\Seen"; fileinto "Sent"; } ---------------------------------------------------------------------- My question is why the first one does not work? Does the email has been moved to the Sent folder, and dovecot sieve plugin is not able to find the email any more? Kind regards, André -- https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox

lmtp service timeouting even after receiving full message
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

I have a problem with some messages passed from exim to dovecot lmtp service: From exim debug: using socket /var/run/dovecot/lmtp LMTP<< 220 mbox8 ready LMTP>> LHLO mbox8...

Isn't .\n always enough for dovecot to signal end of message? Because exim wrote full message to dovecot lmtp unix socket. Now the interesting this - exim does only one write() with 6585 bytes to write that message to lmtp. If exim needs more than one write() to do that (message is larger by some buffer) then it succeeds, dovecot accepts it. Could dovecot lmtp handling for single write() case be broken? dovecot 2.2.35 -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / ( maven.pl | pld-linux.org )

Dovecot replication does not replicate subscription in shared mailboxes
by Ralf Becker 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

We use a pair of replicating Dovecot servers. If a user subscribes to a folder, shared by an other user, in one replica, that does not get replicated to the other node. Subscription of regular folders below INBOX seem to replicate correctly. Is that a general bug, a known problem or do we need to enable that somehow. Here's our configuration for the concerned namespace: namespace users { location = mdbox:%%h/mdbox:INDEXPVT=~/shared/%%u prefix = user/%%n/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } I attached the full doveconf -n. Thanks for any points :) Ralf -- Ralf Becker EGroupware GmbH [www.egroupware.org] Handelsregister HRB Kaiserslautern 3587 Geschäftsführer Birgit und Ralf Becker Leibnizstr. 17, 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany Telefon +49 631 31657-0

How to stop sieve processing to skip sieve_after scripts ?
by Mr Nicolas Belan 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

Hello the list, I am trying to achieve filter processing using sieve, but i am not sure I can do what I want. I want to let the user decide to use my filtering script (sieve_after) or not.According to the documentation, i am trying to stop processing in user sieve script, but processing continue. I am using dovecot 2.2 (CentOS). My sieve configuration is:plugin { sieve = /var/vmail/%d/%n/%n.sieve sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global-before sieve_after = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global [...]} 'sieve' is the filter script created by users. When trying to stop processing, it is generated by roundcube like:# rule:[deliver to mailbox] if anyof (true) { stop; } 'sieve_after' is the filter which handles the spam processing (fileinto Junk). But the processing continue until all sieve filters are processed: Mar 22 14:50:23 lda(user(a)example.com): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt=Mar 22 14:50:23 lda(user(a)example.com): Debug: Destination address: user(a)example.com (source: -a parameter) Mar 22 14:50:23 lda(user(a)example.com): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.4.2 initializing Mar 22 14:50:23 lda(user(a)example.com): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global_dir is not set; it is currently not possible to include `:global' scripts.

Is it possible ? Perhaps a sieve, sieve2 setting exists ? (like sieve_before, sieve_before2 ...) Thank you for your help, ideas :) Best regards, Nicolas

limit pop login per user and per minute
by Markus Eckerl 23 Mar '18

23 Mar '18

Hi, like I have written in the subject line I want to limit the pop login per user and per minute. Currently I am having several customers which are fetching their email with popcon (MS Exchange). This has never been a problem. But... They all have got the same "technician" which take care of their systems. The problem is, that he misconfigured the servers of these customers. In detail: their servers are trying to fetch email every 2 - 5 seconds. For every email address. In the past I contacted the technician and told him about his mistake. He was not very helpful and simply told me that he is doing the same configuration since several years at all of his customer servers. Without problems. It is up to me to fix my problem myself. Well, I googled a lot but all I found is to limit for a specific IP or for a secific account. Both is not what I am looking for. Maybe someone can give me a hint?

dovecot-uidlist is not up-to-date
by Dmitry Filonov 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Hi, Am using dovecot-2.2.10-8 on Centos-7 and everything seemed to be totally fine for many years. Now am trying to migrate our on-premises mail server to the cloud and I had to get some statistics. I was doing that using the doveadm utility. Unfortunately I found that the numbers don't match if I check the real messages in my Maildirs. For some account doveadm was reporting number of messages but that account didn't have any messages stored at all. So I looked a bit further and found that doveadm utility reports data form indexes and indexes are built using dovecot-uidlist data. For quite some folders these files have way more data than actual mailbox has. For example, my personal Inbox has 569 messages but dovecot-uidlist has 716 entries. I don't know when and how that happened but this happens a lot on many different mailboxes on my server. I never touched dovecot-uidlist files outside of dovecot. I might have removed messages from Maildirs though, but not at this scale. Now the question is if there's any way to tell dovecot to rebuild dovecot-uidlist files using actual Maildir data. I don't want to remove dovecot-uidlist files as this triggers the whole mailbox being re-downloaded by the imap client. With some accounts having over 100Gb of mail this is too much of a hassle. I just need dovecot itself to fix it's data. Thanks, Fil -- Dmitry Filonov Network Analyst 300 Longwood Ave. Enders-1262.2 Boston, MA 02115 617-919-4702

"failed to map segment from shared object" in sieve pipe
by Dorian Taylor 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Hello, I have encountered a problem attempting to run a program in a sieve pipe. The program is a Perl script that loads a number of binary (XS) modules at runtime. The program crashes, it appears, if it tries to load too many. The (non-Perl part of the) error message is "failed to map segment from shared object” — no additional information. Cryptic error messages like this have the odour of imposed resource restrictions, so I’m wondering if there are any on the pipe/filter/execute implementation (e.g. via program_client_run). Any configuration knobs I can twiddle? Any insights for debugging? PS this is the dovecot 2.2.22 (fe789d2), the one that ships with Ubuntu Xenial. Regards, -- Dorian Taylor Make things. Make sense. https://doriantaylor.com
