imap-sieve, question concerning "sieve_user_email" and variables, migration from 2.3 to 2.4
by Claus-Justus Heine 17 Apr '26

17 Apr '26

Hi there, I have a question concerning the configuration setting sieve_user_email In a v2.3 setup I had it set to sieve_user_email = %Ln(a)some.concrete.domain Now I am trying to migrate to v2.4 and thought the direct translation from the old variable expansion scheme to the new scheme deployed in v2.4 would be sieve_user_email = %{user|username|lower}(a)some.concrete.domain However, this does not work. Testing the documentation yields the following error: # dovecot -n -c dovecot.conf > /dev/null doveconf: Error: sieve: sieve settings: Failed to parse configuration: Failed to expand sieve_user_email setting variables: Unknown variable 'user' doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file dovecot.conf: Failed to initialize Sieve Setting "sieve_user_email" to something without variable expansion or just commenting it out yields a configuration which is accepted by "dovecot -n". Now I wonder: a) v2.3 did not complain. But perhaps just because it was using "%Ln" literally? b) In case it did work in v2.3, should it work in v2.4 also? And if so: what would be the correct syntax / variable names? c) Under which circumstances is this setting "sieve_user_email" used? The documentation states: https://doc.dovecot.org/main/core/summaries/settings.html#sieve_user_email > The primary e-mail address for the user. > > This is used as a default when no other appropriate address is available for sending messages. > > If this setting is not configured, either the postmaster or null <> address is used as a sender, depending on the action involved. > > This setting is important when there is no message envelope to extract addresses from, such as when the script is executed in IMAP. I thought that then it would make sense to use something which depends on the login-name of the IMAP-user? Or was this "sieve_user_email" intended to hold just one static email like "my_global_catch_all(a)some.concrete.domain"? Kind thanks for clarification, best regards Claus -- Claus-Justus Heine himself(a)claus-justus-heine.de http://www.claus-justus-heine.de/ Schatzmeister der Camerata Academica Freiburg e.V. --- www.cafev.de

INBOX.dovecot.sieve not selectable
by 87auteur-niobium＠icloud.com 14 Apr '26

14 Apr '26

Hi folks, I’m seeing “INBOX.dovecot.sieve” listed on the response of the IMAP LIST command, but attempting to select the mailbox fails with “Internal server error occurred. Refer to the server log for more information”. I assume INBOX.dovecot.sieve is an internal/system folder that shouldn’t be on the LIST response. Is this a known issue? If it is, is it being tracked anywhere (I don’t see an “Issues” tab on GitHub for Dovecot Core)?

imap-login not passing DSN through

Hi, I have a problem with postfix + dovecot 1:2.3.21+dfsg1-2ubuntu6.3 on Ubuntu Server 24.04: When using dovecot's imap-login to verify users and passwords againgst dovecot's user list, it doesn't pass the DSN flag through, therefore effectively disabling DSN.

Dovecot Proxy with mysql passdb and oauth2 authentication: upgrade from 2.3.21 to 2.4.3 does not work
by Urban Loesch 07 Apr '26

07 Apr '26

Hi, I am running a Dovecot IMAP/POP3 proxy in my test environment using the latest version, 2.3.21, installed from the Dovecot repository. It functions as a pure IMAP/POP3 proxy for 7 different IMAP backends (currently always Dovecot 2.3.21). The proxy retrieves all its information from a MySQL database mainly the ip-address to which backend he should pass the connection and forwards all authentication information to the backend. This has always worked without any issues so far. Now I'm trying to upgrade the proxy from 2.3.21 to 2.4.3. I tried to convert my 2.3.21 configuration to 2.4.3 with your very helpfull tool from https://dovecot.org/upgrader/. But now when I try to start dovecot I get the followong error in my logs: ... 2026-04-07T12:00:57.692994+02:00 imap-dev dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth 2026-04-07T12:00:57.695908+02:00 imap-dev dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libdriver_mysql.so 2026-04-07T12:00:57.696532+02:00 imap-dev dovecot: auth: Fatal: Cannot initialize oauth2: Missing oauth2_introspection_mode setting 2026-04-07T12:00:57.697569+02:00 imap-dev dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 4.000 secs ... As I just said, the server only works as a proxy (no mailboxes hosted on itself, etc). Have you any idea how I can solve this issues? Below my current .deb packages installed and "doveconf -n" from 2.4.3.

Dovecot and Pigeonhole v2.4.3 released
by Aki Tuomi 07 Apr '26

07 Apr '26

Hi! We are happy to publish version 2.4.3 of Dovecot and Pigeonhole. These contain several CVEs, discovered by external researches. The majority of these have been discovered with help of automated code analysis tools like claude code security, which is why some of these are rather old, missed bugs. No new supported distros have been added or old removed, no new dependencies have been added. Note that there are experimental features in 2.4, one is enabled with `--enable-experimental-mail-utf8`, and another with `--enable-experimental-imap4rev2`, and you also need to set mail_utf8_extensions=yes and imap4rev2_enabled=yes to enable them in config. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.4/dovecot-2.4.3.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.4/dovecot-2.4.3.tar.gz.sig https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.4/dovecot-pigeonhole-2.4.3.tar.gz https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.4/dovecot-pigeonhole-2.4.3.tar.gz… Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot --- * CVE-2025-59028: Invalid base64 authentication can cause DoS for other logins. * CVE-2025-59031: decode2text.sh OOXML extraction may follow symlinks and read unintended files during indexing.

Fixed escaping to always happen. v2.4 regression. * CVE-2026-27859: Excessive RFC 2231 MIME parameters in email would cause excessive CPU usage. Fixed by limiting number of parameters to process. * CVE-2026-27860: LDAP query injection possible if auth_username_chars is configured empty. Fixed escaping to always happen. v2.4 regression. * CVE-2026-27857: Sending excessive parenthesis causes imap-login to use excessive memory. * CVE-2026-27856: Doveadm credentials were not checked using timing-safe checking function. * CVE-2026-27855: OTP driver vulnerable to replay attack. * Remove default service/*/service_extra_groups=$SET:default_internal_group.
