SSL problem - no banner
by Marcio Merlone 01 Jun '17

Hi, I am running dovecot 2.2.22-1ubuntu2.4 on a ubuntu 16.04 server. It has a valid Letsencrypt certificate but the problem also happens with a self-digned one. Only openssl s_client -connect localhost:993 works fine and fast, while all MUA's and telnet does not. Telnet timeouts waiting for banner after a minute or so: root@netuno:~# openssl s_client -connect localhost:993 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=2 O = Digital Signature Trust Co., CN = DST Root CA X3 verify return:1 depth=1 C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = Let's Encrypt Authority X3 verify return:1 (...) Start Time: 1496081321 Timeout : 300 (sec) Verify return code: 0 (ok) --- * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. 0 logout * BYE Logging out 0 OK Logout completed. closed root@netuno:~# telnet localhost 993 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. (about 1 minute later...) Connection closed by foreign host. root@netuno:~# I Have enabled verbose_ssl = yes and mail_debug = yes but no useful info got to logs. Has anyone seen this? Any hint? Thanks, best regards. -- *Marcio Merlone*

Two domains, same users
by Sandbox 01 Jun '17

Hi, I have two LDAP domains, which has some equal users, eg: abc(a)domain1.com abc(a)domain2.com I sat up this config: domain1 users maildirs are stored in /home/vmail/username domain2 users maildirs are stored in /home/vmail/domain2/username This works fine except one thing: i cant set up the ldap query to choose the correct maildir if the user names are equal. Is it possible to use a user_filter which will choose the correct maildir and user/domain from the email address? My current ldap.conf for domain1: hosts = ldap.domain1.com base = ou=People,dc=domain1,dc=com ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = uid=user user_filter = (uid=%n) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (uid=%n) default_pass_scheme = MD5 and for domain2: hosts = ldap.domain2.com base = ou=People,dc=domain2,dc=com ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = \ =mail=maildir:/home/vmail/%{ldap:departmentNumber)/%n/Maildir user_filter = (uid=%n) pass_attrs = uid=%n,userPassword=password pass_filter = (uid=%n) default_pass_scheme = MD5 Thanks, Robert

Probably happens when a user is doing I/O on their large INBOX's via NFS, and bogging down. Thanks for explaining this. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

sieve folders in maildir with imap: not a directory not fixed with maildir_stat_dirs = yes
by David Gessel 31 May '17

31 May '17

As my logs fill up with "imap(user(a)domain.com): Error: stat(/mail/doman.com/user//.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory" errors, I followed the advice at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home and https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-June/104403.html and set in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf # By default LIST command returns all entries in maildir beginning with a dot. # Enabling this option makes Dovecot return only entries which are directories. # This is done by stat()ing each entry, so it causes more disk I/O. # (For systems setting struct dirent->d_type, this check is free and it's # done always regardless of this setting) maildir_stat_dirs = yes My mailbox format reads "mail_location = maildir:~:CONTROL=/var/no-quota/%u:INDEX=MEMORY" The error is factually correct, but there is not .dovecot.sieve/tmp directory or file as .dovecot.sieve is a file (the head sieve script that calls the subordinate scripts out of the /sieve directory. There is a tmp directory at /sieve/tmp/ drwxr----- 2 vmail vmail 2B May 31 04:14 tmp Any hints as to why this isn't working? It does seem like the right answer.

If anyone had written their own script services (not using the included "script" binary) they would need some changes.

shared folder and private index file problems
by Thomas Robers 31 May '17

31 May '17

Hello, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.30 with Pideonhole 0.4.18 and I'm having some problems, perhaps someone can give an hint on how to solve them. When I try to create a folder in the toplevel directory of a shared mailbox, i get a "permission denied" although I have the rights, example: 1.doveadm -f table acl rights -u bob(a)example.com shared/bill(a)example.com Rights lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert post expunge create delete admin 2.doveadm mailbox create -u bob(a)example.com "shared/bill(a)example.com" doveadm(bob(a)example.com): Error: Can't create mailbox shared/bill(a)example.com: Permission denied Creating an subfolder of a folder which already exists works fine: 1.doveadm -f table acl rights -u bob(a)example.com shared/bill(a)example.com /Drafts Rights lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert post expunge create delete admin 2.doveadm mailbox create -u bob(a)example.com "shared/bill(a)example.com /Drafts/Test" (no output) 3.doveadm -f table acl rights -u bob(a)example.com shared/bill(a)example.com /Drafts/Test Rights lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert post expunge create delete So this works, but creating a folder directly in the inbox of the shared mailbox doesn't work and I don't know why. Is this not supported? Or do I miss something important? Another problem I have is, that the private index files in shared folders are often to always marked as inconsistent in the dovecot log file, an example of such log messages look like: - imap(bob(a)example.com): Error: /export/home/imap/bob(a)example.com/shared /bill(a)example.com/.Templates/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent - imap(bob(a)example.com): Error: /export/home/imap/bob(a)example.com/shared /bill(a)example.com/.Templates/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent - imap(bob(a)example.com): Error: /export/home/imap/bob(a)example.com/shared /bill(a)example.com/.Trash/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent - imap(bob(a)example.com): Error: /export/home/imap/bob(a)example.com/shared /bill(a)example.com/.Trash/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent And this is logged for almost every user who has access to a shared mailbox and I don't know how to stop getting the indexes inconsistent. Here's my Dovecot configuration: # 2.2.30 (8acbc67): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.18 (29cc74d) # OS: Linux 2.6.32-642.4.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.9 (Final) ext4 auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/export/home/imap/%Lu/Maildir mail_plugins = acl zlib mail_log notify mailbox_idle_check_interval = 10 secs mailbox_list_index = yes managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEXPVT=%h/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = INBOX/ separator = / type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/master-users driver = passwd-file master = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300 acl_shared_dict = file:/export/home/shared-db/shared-mailboxes mail_log_events = append delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename flag_change mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size from flags sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/ sieve_user_log = ~/.dovecot.sieve.log zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 6 } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service imap-login { process_limit = 500 process_min_avail = 20 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 24 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { port = 2000 } } ssl = required ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/mail.tutech.de.crt_chain ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL:!EXPORT ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_protocols = !SSLv3 !SSLv2 syslog_facility = local6 userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = acl zlib mail_log notify sieve } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 100 mail_plugins = acl zlib mail_log notify imap_zlib imap_acl } Any help is appreciated.

Timo Sirainen announced > + If dovecot.index.cache corruption is detected, reset only the one > corrupted mail instead of the whole file. Is this a big performance win? I still have users with jumbo mailboxes who insist on direct mailbox file access using procmail or mail readers, which trigger index rebuilds when dovecot accesses them.
