Dovecot 2.3 on CentOS 7.

Greetings! I'm having a bit of trouble trying out Dovecot 2.3 on CentOS 7. Dovecot 2.2.33 works fine on the same system (same config as well, minus the SSL changes) but after upgrading to 2.3 I'm getting the following errors: Feb 1 21:30:18 localhost dovecot: imap(reio(a)bwo.mrstuudio.ee)<3566><FoOsnStkXt4KAAgC>: Debug: INBOX.Templates: Mailbox opened because: STATUS Feb 1 21:30:18 localhost dovecot: Error: imap(reio(a)bwo.mrstuudio.ee)<3566><FoOsnStkXt4KAAgC>: open() failed with file /home/dovecot/bwo.mrstuudio.ee/reio/Maildir/.Templates/dovecot.index.log: Read-only file system Feb 1 21:30:18 localhost dovecot: imap(reio(a)bwo.mrstuudio.ee)<3566><FoOsnStkXt4KAAgC>: Error: open(/home/dovecot/bwo.mrstuudio.ee/reio/Maildir/.Templates/dovecot-uidlist.lock) failed: Read-only file system Feb 1 21:30:18 localhost dovecot: Error: imap(reio(a)bwo.mrstuudio.ee)<3566><FoOsnStkXt4KAAgC>: Mailbox INBOX.Templates: file_dotlock_create(/home/dovecot/bwo.mrstuudio.ee/reio/Maildir/.Templates/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Read-only file system Feb 1 21:30:18 localhost dovecot: Error: imap(reio(a)bwo.mrstuudio.ee)<3566><FoOsnStkXt4KAAgC>: Mailbox INBOX.Templates: open(/home/dovecot/bwo.mrstuudio.ee/reio/Maildir/.Templates/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Read-only file system So far I've tried running it with SELinux enforce off and giving the directories 777 permissions to no avail. Is anyone else running 2.3 on CentOS 7? Thanks and good luck! Reio

lda: Warning: Failed to parse return-path header: Invalid character in localpart
by Christian Authmann 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hello, Sometimes, when delivering mails, this warning appears in my syslog: > lda(...): Warning: Failed to parse return-path header: Invalid character in localpart dovecot-lda still exits with 0 and the mail is inserted into my inbox. Looking at the mails in question, I determined that the error is caused by a multiline Return-Path header. Here's a testcase: --- snip --- Return-Path: <nowhere(a)example.com> From: "Nowhere" <nowhere(a)example.com> To: redacted(a)example.com Subject: Testcase for lda warnings Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2018 12:00:00 +0000 This is a message body. --- snap --- Copy into a file, with \r\n line endings, then run something like this: > cat testcase.txt | /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -e -d '<username>' with a username recognized by your running dovecot installation. The header is 'Return-Path:', \r\n, two spaces, '<...>', \r\n According to rfc2822 folding rules, that should be valid - the Return-Path header allows CFWS at that location. The error message originates in lib-lda/mail-deliver.c in mail_deliver_get_return_address(), while the invalid character message seems to originate from one of several places in lib-lda/mail-deliver.c Ciao, Christian Authmann

Hi there! I splitted my Mailarchiv to an extra namespace. Because i have some Problems with the Archiv. I can open all Folders from Mailarchiv with dovecot. But i want to have a "all archives" Mailbox to search in all messages in only one virtual mailbox.

Why does dovecot reject password when authorizing by a certificate?
by yuryb 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

We have FreeBSD-server with dovecot installed on it as IMAP-server. My user and password database is a text file with plaintext passwords. Clients connect to imap-server via TLS protocol and plaintext password. All works fine. But I want to configure ability to authorize with a client certificates. I have generated a client certificate and imported it to email-client. Also I have configured dovecot to verify client certificates. But email-client cannot authorize: Password mismatch. Why dovecot reject my password in this case? Please help!

send specific NDR message for users in certain OU
by lists 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi, The question can perhaps be made more generic like this: Can dovecot generate a *specific* NDR (or an autoreply) for accounts that meet a specific criterium, such as: - user account was found under OU=to-delete,CN=company... contrary to the regular location CN=Users,CN=company... We would like to move to-be-deleted users to this container, before actually deleting them. That gives us an easy way to revert, if the deletion turns out to be erroneous. We could do that with via a sieve config for those accounts, but if dovecot could send a "delivery failure"-type specific for those accounts (with instructions who to contact to revert the situation) it would be very easy: only move the user to the specific OU, and have the system do the rest. Can this be done? (dovecot 2.1.17 on wheezy, yes we know we should upgrade, and we also will, but it runs rock solid...) MJ

2 panics, 1 segmentation fault in dovecot 2.3.0 (fts)
by Infoomatic 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hi, While testing our migration to dovecot 2.3.0, we encountered 2 panics, 1 segmentation fault while we wanted to rebuild the solr indizes. Problem [1] was encountered while rebuilding the indizes, and now I don't know how many mails/documents are indexed or where it got stuck. [2] and [3] encountered while just playing around, since I did not know of "tokenize" and did not find a lot of information about it. This is a ubuntu 16.04 machine, dovecot 2.3.0 compiled from source ( + the patch for the recent zlib problem). "doveadm index" runs on a ~ 4GB mdbox-zipped-mailbox for about 3-4 minutes before aborting with the message above, beforehand I did a "/opt/dovecot/bin/doveadm fts rescan -A". When I repeat "doveadm index" it aborts after about 4 seconds, after a "/opt/dovecot/bin/doveadm fts rescan -A" it runs again for 3-4 minutes. Apache tika logs, but those are probably not related to the problem, however, the devs might want investigate the last line: WARN Parse exception Expected ';', got "," determining content disposition javax.mail.internet.ParseException: Expected ';', got "," and org.apache.tika.exception.ZeroByteFileException: InputStream must have > 0 bytes I would be happy if you could have a look at this, please, and of course just tell me what further information you need.
