imap service count>1 (was System load spike ...)
by Joseph Tam 21 Apr '17

I'm using different user IDs for users, so I > need to have imap {service_count=1} - i.e. I have a lots of imap > processes running. I had a misconception this service's service_count was non-adjustable. (https://wiki.dovecot.org/Services on imap service) service_count can be changed from 1 if only a single UID is used for mail users. This is improves performance, but it's less secure, because bugs in code may leak email data from another user's earlier connection. How easy would it be to implement a hybrid solution that maps all imap service for a unique UID to a single worker process. It would result in modest performance gain for busy servers, and data leakage security would be minimal. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Pipe to PHP script using Sieve Extprograms
by Thomas 21 Apr '17

21 Apr '17

Hello, I seem to be having some issues trying to setup a pipe to PHP scripts using Sieve Extprograms. I am trying to allow each individual mailbox to setup its own PHP pipe rules (in other words, each user should be able to pipe incoming emails to a user defined PHP script). I have the following lines in my main Sieve configuration file (/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf): sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.execute sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms I have configured a Sieve service that looks like this (/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve-extprograms.conf): service php { # Define the executed script as parameter to the sieve service executable = /var/run/dovecot/sieve-pipe/php.sh # Use some unprivileged user for executing the program user = dovenull # The unix socket located in the sieve_pipe_socket_dir (as defined in the # plugin {} section above) unix_listener sieve-pipe/php { # LDA/LMTP must have access user = vmail mode = 0600 } } Contents of /var/run/dovecot/sieve-pipe/php.sh: #!/usr/bin/php Sieve script for one of my mailboxes: require ["fileinto", "regex", "date", "relational", "vacation"]; require ["mailbox", "imap4flags", "vnd.dovecot.pipe"]; # Move spam to spam folder if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Junk"; # Stop here so that we do not reply on spams stop; } pipe :try "php /var/www/web2/piping.php support(a)example.com" keep; This results however in the following error in my log file: main script: line 5: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability `vnd.dovecot.pipe'. main script: line 14: error: unknown command 'pipe' (only reported once at first occurence). main script: error: validation failed. I am also not quite confident I have set this up correctly. Am I heading in the right direction for what I am trying to achieve?

javamail imap listing
by Matthew Broadhead 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

Hi, i am using dovecot-2.2.10-7.el7.x86_64 on centos-release-7-3.1611.el7.centos.x86_64. if i follow this tutorial https://delog.wordpress.com/2011/05/10/access-imap-server-from-the-command-… i can login to my server and successfully list the folders using tag LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX tag OK List completed. no folders are listed using tag LIST / "*" tag OK List completed. when i request a folder listing using JavaMail it similarly sends the following command and no folders are listed a97 LIST / "*" a97 OK List completed. if i follow the tutorial again and use my gmail account instead of my dovecot installation i can successfully list folders using both methods tag LIST / "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "youtube" tag OK List completed. is there some way to make dovecot list folders when it receives the command LIST / "*" i note that in the listings my dovecot installation has "." in the middle and gmail has a "/"

JavaMail setFlags on readonly folder
by Gabriele Bulfon 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

Hi, I'm facing a strange issue using JavaMail, where Dovecot let me open "READ_WRITE" a folder with readonly ACLs (same happens on other imap servers), but then doesn't issue any error when if try to setFlags(...) on that folder. The result is that the code thinks the folder marked the messages (deleted, flagged, etc), while it actually did not. Just refreshing the folder from the java client, you get back your original messages as they were before the operation. Is there any known issue about this?

Using filter in an imapsieve script?
by Tobi 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

Hello list I currently have an issue with an imapsieve script on my dovecot server CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) Dovecot 2.2.26.0 (23d1de6) Pigeonhole 2.2.26.0 The goal is to "fire" an imapsieve script upon mailclient saves message to sent folder I setup the following in 90-plugin.conf: plugin { sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.filter +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.execute sieve_filter_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-filters sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-filters sieve_execute_bin_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve-filters sieve_filter_exec_timeout = 10000 sieve_pipe_exec_timeout = 10000 sieve_execute_exec_timeout = 10000 imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Sent imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/home/vmail/domain/user/dovecot-crypt-sent.sieve } and the content of the sieve script is: require ["environment", "vnd.dovecot.filter", "variables", "imapsieve", "vnd.dovecot.pipe", "vnd.dovecot.execute"]; if anyof (environment :is "imap.cause" "APPEND", environment :is "imap.cause" "COPY") { filter "gpgit" "myuser(a)mydomain.tld"; } gpgit is a perl script that encrypts a given message using the users pub key and returns back the encrypted message As a sieve script for lmtp/lda it works fine and encrypted messages show up in the mailbox. But it does not work if it is used as imap sieve script There is nothing in the logs that indicates a problem with the imap sieve script. Is it possible that 'filter' is not supported for imapsieve as it changes the content of a message? Thanks for any hint tobi

RSA key not found
by Michael Segel 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

I’ve got a couple of issues with a new mail server set up… I’m getting the following error: warning: cannot get RSA certificate from file /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/<mycert>.pem: disabling TLS support The problem is that <mycert>.pem isn’t an RSA ticket, but a X509 certificate. The RSA ticket is in /etc/pki/dovecot/private directory. I checked both files and they are good certificates. I’m using webmin to manage my server. In webmin, the TLS certificate file is the X509 and the private key is the RSA file. So why does Postfix check the certificate link for the RSA file and not the X509? Thx -Mike
