Reappearing emails - IMAP trace
by Ron Cleven 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

A few days back, I sent an overview of this problem, but received no responses. Since then, I have run dozens of traces to isolate the problem, difficult because there are timing issues involved. I have finally nailed it down. If this is not the proper place to report such bugs or if someone knows that this bug has been fixed, please let me know. As I noted in my earlier post, we have been running Dovecot 2.2.10 with a pair of CentOS 7 boxes with replications for the past year. We have been quite happy with the performance and reliability. Recently we received a report that emails could reappear in the INBOX after being deleted. After running a pile of traces, I determined that the problem was strangely related to replications. For the purposes of this discussion, I will refer to the two symmetric replicating servers as A and B. Further, let us assume that during "normal" operation, all the emails are delivered to A via SMTP and are replicated to B. Under those assumptions, if the IMAP user connects to A (where the messages were originally delivered), there is no problem, at least no problem I was able to find. The problem I am describing only arises if the IMAP user connects to B. Connecting to B has never presented any other problems that I am aware of. The test for which I have provided the trace starts with a test mailbox containing only 3 unread messages in the INBOX. Moving 1 of the unread messages to Trash is all that is needed to reproduce the problem. Remember this is ONLY a problem if the IMAP sessions do not connect to the server to which the messages were originally delivered. Also, I found that there is a timing window. The critical IMAP commands are: UID STORE xxx +FLAGS.SILENT (\Seen) UID MOVE xxx Trash If you introduce a large enough delay (I arbitrarily chose 5 seconds) between those two commands, there is no problem. Presumably this has to do with the two boxes syncing up some critical data structure. It takes a short time for the message that was moved to Trash to reappear in the INBOX. The trace initially shows the number of messages going from 3 to 2 when the message is moved to Trash, but a second or so later, the message count goes back up to 3. Interestingly, the reappearing message shows back up as Unseen in the INBOX but a duplicate copy of it stays in Trash as Seen. Dragging unread messages to Trash may not be polite, but it is technically acceptable. Regarding the trace below , CR's show up as \r, LF's show up as \n, and each line starts with S or C depending upon whether it is from the Server or Client. There is blank line following each connection.

syncing mailboxes with dsync after switchover
by Sergey Schwartz 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Gents, I'm relocating mailboxes to a new server. Before switching over to a new server I ran syncing a few times without any issues first I sync files with rsync from the old server to have a local copy, then I sync mailboxes with dsync /usr/bin/doveadm -Dv sync -u $MBOX -R "sdbox:/srv/vmail/temp/srv/srv.bgoperator.ru/${MBOX}:DIRNAME=DbOx-mAiLs" After switching over smtp transport and running dsync as above a few mailboxes were deleted dsync(xxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=1 already exists locally for a different mail: GUIDs don't match (c005a206e1c6e756f02700003a8929e2 vs 0ba1c03796f5dc524c6d0000b4ca29ec) dsync(xxxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=8855 GUID=80d5841f0fe2e35677630000b4ca29ec is missing locally dsync(xxxxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=7508 already exists locally for a different mail: GUIDs don't match (1e03d72074d8e756403700003a8929e2 vs 1dc47a3ac5c4e7562a290000b4ca29ec) dsync(xxxxxx): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'INBOX': UID=8238 GUID=2a6a803bd33fe156f85e0000b4ca29ec is missing locally and a few other mailboxes seemed to fail to sync dsync(xxxxxxx): Warning: Mailbox changes caused a desync.

VS: New dovecot user needs installation help
by Aki Tuomi 15 Mar '16

Can yoi run doveadm log errors too? ---Aki TuomiDovecot oy -------- Alkuperäinen viesti --------Lähettäjä: Jason Pruim <pruimj(a)gmail.com> Päivämäärä: 15.3.2016 4.50 (GMT+02:00) Saaja: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Aihe: New dovecot user needs installation help Hey Everyone, So I just setup my first dovecot install with postfix running for the mail server… I can telnet into my dovecot install and login just fine with my user locally… But when I try to add the account from my phone, computer, or telnetting from my local computer, it just hangs and eventually kicks back a generic error saying it can’t be added… Where can I start looking? I’m hosted with amazon web services and I’m waiting on them to approve my request to white list my IP on my instance, but that should only restrict my ability to send email out on port 25… I should still be able to operate locally… According to the firewall on amazon port 143 and 993 are both allowed from any IP address into the server (All outbound traffic is currently open until I get it working) I’m thinking it’s something easy, and I can handle pointers! I don’t necessarily need my hand held the entire way… At least not yet… Here is the output of my dovecot -n: [ec2-user@ip-172-31-22-222 log]$ dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.14.48-33.39.amzn1.x86_64 x86_64 mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } [ec2-user@ip-172-31-22-222 log]$ Let me know if there is anything else you need, or where to go from here!

dovecot wiki...
by Andrew McGlashan 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

Hi, Just want to know if this is a problem at my end (in my browser), or if it is something else. When I copy text from the wiki, the page changes to an edit one; that is very, very annoying. How can I stop this if it is normal dovecot wiki behaviour and what do you think I might look at in my browser if it isn't? I'm never likely to want to edit the wiki any time soon. Thanks AndrewM

Logging the TLS cipher suite
by Luigi Rosa 12 Mar '16

Hi, could it be possible to log the TLS cipher suite as Postfix does? This is a typical TLS Dovecot log line: imap-login: Login: user=<user(a)acme.com>, method=DIGEST-MD5, rip=1.2.3.4, lip=4.3.2.1, mpid=19671, TLS, session=<Jsvr46wt2c1ScQfY> This is the Postfix equivalent postfix/smtp[59723]: Anonymous TLS connection established to mail.acmne.com[1.2.3.4]:25: TLSv1.2 with cipher AECDH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits) -- Ciao, luigi / +--[Luigi Rosa]-- \ We're not surrounded, we're in a target-rich environment!

Timout for LDAP connection
by Gordon Grubert 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Hi, we are using a round robin dns record for connections to our ldap system. This works fine for almost all cases. In particular, for dovecot does this mean, when an ldap server is stopped, dovecot instantly reconnects to another ldap server. But when the network connection to the active ldap server is broken, dovecot sticks to the failed ldap server. Is there any possibility to define a connection timeout? This is our current configuration for the ldap connection: # 2.2.devel (2d8f665): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.devel (0de2a19) # OS: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 8.3 uris = ldaps://LDAP-SERVER dn = BINDDN dnpass = BINDPASS auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = BASEDN scope = subtree user_attrs= ATTRIBUTES user_filter = USERFILTER pass_filter = PASSFILTER iterate_filter = ITERATEFILTER Best regards, Gordon -- Technischer Leiter & stellv.

Troubleshooting mailbox problems
by Nick Bright 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

Greetings, I'm running Dovecot 2.0.9 on my CentOS 6 server, for several thousand mailboxes. Recently, I've had several reports of "my mailbox is suddenly empty, where'd my mail go?" I've enabled debug logging, but I'd like to make sure I have the best level of debug to see things like "delete message" commands? I've configured in logging: auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = no mail_debug = yes plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_group_events = yes mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size } Does this look like a good start? I really think it's a client side problem, but sometimes end users always want to blame the server; and proof must be shown e.g. "Look, here's the log, you're sending delete commands." At which point, we can proceed with dealing with their software problem.

Setting up public mailboxes - user not found
by Marti Markov 10 Mar '16

Hi all, This is the first time I use the dovecot mail list so I’m sorry if I forget something. My problem is that for some reason I can get public mailboxes to work.

I’m not sure but should Dovecot skip this and check the Public folder first before checking LDAP? Another part of my setup is Exim4. Here is the transport part: dovecot_lmtp: driver = lmtp socket = /var/run/dovecot/lmtp return_path_add #maximum number of deliveries per batch, default 1 batch_max = 200 And here is the auth part: dovecot_login: driver = dovecot public_name = LOGIN server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client # setting server_set_id might break several headers in mails sent by authenticated smtp. So be careful. server_set_id = $auth1 .ifndef AUTH_SERVER_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_in_cipher}{}{}{*}} .endif dovecot_plain: driver = dovecot public_name = PLAIN server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client server_set_id = $auth1 .ifndef AUTH_SERVER_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS server_advertise_condition = ${if eq{$tls_in_cipher}{}{}{*}} .endif So any tips on how to fix this would be great.

zlib plugin doesn't add "Z" flag to Maildir filename
by Tom Sommer 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

I enabled zlib compression, so new mails are saved compressed. Now I want to convert the old mails to gzip with the find and gzip command, but now I don't know which files are already gzip compressed by dovecot. Shouldn't zlib_save itself add Z to the Maildir flags? As suggested in the compress guide on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib ? -- Tom
