[Dovecot] dsync strange duplicate directories
Hello, i'm testing whether dsync will help me in setting up a redundant master - master imap setup and experience this: 1. Master 1 dovecot is running, master 2 dovecot is down 2. I use rsync to create an exact copy of the master 1 maildir on master 2 3. I start up master 2 dovecot 4. I do a dsync on master 2: dsync -D -u t...@example.com mirror ssh root@master1 dsync -D -u t...@example.com Now what i see is this: Each mail directory is duplicated on master 1 and master 2 to a directory name with some MD5 hash value (as it seems) e.g. before dsync: ls -a /home/vmail/example.com/test/Maildir cur new .Drafts .Junk .Sent ... after dsync: ls -a /home/vmail/example.com/test/Maildir cur new .Drafts .Drafts_af61060f6f9fcb4efc0a2691362e .Junk .Junk_b261060f6f9fcb4efc0a2691362e .Sent .Sent_b261060f6f9fcb4efc0a2691362e ... The new directories contain the same files as the original directories. What am i doing wrong? Thanks for the help Frank
Re: [Dovecot] Overquota bounce
Hello! I have implemented a mail system with postfix and dovecot as LDA. Users who have exceeded their quota when receiving messages dont'see the message bounced. I see this error in maillog: dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure) I had the same problem. For me the problem was solved by doing what the dovecot wiki told me to do in the first place: Make shure that you comment out the "mail_debug" directive in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. Only setting this to "no" does not do the job. See: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix Geetings, Frank -- Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.

[Dovecot] post-login scripting failing with "denied access to user" v2.1.7
I am trying to have a default sieve rule for new mailboxes that can be
edited by users using the round cube sieve plugin.
It would actually be better executed when a new user is created but my
postfixadmin runs on a separate machine so that's a bit tricky.
The "sieve-default =" setting won't quite achieve what I want as I want users
to be able to edit the default rule (to adjust SPAM level)
Mail works fine before I add my post-login script to
10-master.conf
--
service imap {
# tell imap to do post-login lookup using a socket called
"imap-postlogin"
executable = imap imap-postlogin
}
service imap-postlogin {
# all post-login scripts are executed via script-login binary
executable = script-login /etc/dovecot/custom_sieve/postlogin.sh
# the script process runs as the user specified here (v2.0.14+):
user = mail # also tried $default_internal_user and root
# this UNIX socket listener must use the same name as given to imap
executable
unix_listener imap-postlogin {
}
}
After adding this setting, login fails and gives the error below.
It certainly looks like a permission issue, but I have checked my script is
executable and owned by vmail:vmail. The bash script executes fine as the mail
user.
The other possibility is that dovecot is denying access to the $HOME variable,
but that seems unlikely.
Nevertheless, I am stuck!

Re: [Dovecot] post-login scripting failing with "denied access to user" v2.1.7
Thanks Daniel, That worked well. The default spam filter is now created properly. I have placed sieve filters in the parent directory of the Maildir, otherwise the .dovecot.sieve file is erroneously interpreted as a maildir by IMAP clients. The way I have used parent directories ($HOME/../) in the script results in a warning from manage sieve but I think it is harmless as the filter work fine: dovecot: managesieve(t...@fqdn.net): Warning: sieve-storage: Active sieve script symlink /home/vmail/fqdn.net/test/Maildir/../.dovecot.sieve is broken: invalid/unknown path to storage (points to /home/vmail/fqdn.net/test/Maildir/../sieve/managesieve.sieve). Is there a way to suppress this warning?

Dovecot on GlusterFS via NFS is... strange.
Hi, I've discovered some interesting behaviour when running Dovecot on a GlusterFS volume (3.10) that is mounted via NFS 4.1 (ganesha NFS). First of all, using the usual settings for NFS storage seemed like an obvious choice for my setup (Dovecot 2.2.33.2, CentOS 7.4): mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = yes mail_fsync = always maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes mmap_disable = yes lock_method = dotlock (FWIW, I've been using these settings for many years on different NFS storages without any issues. Another instance of Dovecot 2.2.33 on FreeBSD 11.1 with a more traditional NFS storage is rock-solid.) SPOILER: These settings caused terrible issues. For example, when trying to clone a mailbox from an old server to this new Dovecot-on-GlusterFS setup (using imapsync), the following errors would show up frequently: Feb 6 16:44:53 dovecot: IMAP(u...@example.com): Panic: file maildir-uidlist.c: line 1262 (maildir_uidlist_write_fd): assertion failed: (first_idx == 0) Feb 6 16:44:53 dovecot: IMAP(u...@example.com): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x9f3de) [0x7f7b6b44f3de] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x9f4be) [0x7f7b6b44f4be] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f7b6b3e077c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x79605) [0x7f7b6b75b605] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_uidlist_sync_finish+0x1ac) [0x7f7b6b75d61c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_uidlist_sync_deinit+0x98) [0x7f7b6b75da48] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_transaction_save_commit_pre+0x41f) [0x7f7b6b75483f] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xcccd0) [0x7f7b6b7aecd0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit_full+0x9d) [0x7f7b6b7cb3cd] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_transaction_commit+0x107) [0x7f7b6b7af217] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so(+0xe17c) [0x7f7b6a9ca17c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(+0xda0a) [0x7f7b6abe0a0a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_transaction_commit_get_changes+0x51) [0x7f7b6b72c161] -> dovecot/imap [u...@example.com 10.0.0.1 APPEND](+0xf255) [0x55ca8238f255] -> dovecot/imap [u...@example.com 10.0.0.1 APPEND](command_exec+0x5c) [0x55ca8239cf0c] -> dovecot/imap [u...@example.com 10.0.0.1 APPEND](+0xe771) [0x55ca8238e771] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x52) [0x7f7b6b464cd2] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x10f) [0x7f7b6b4663bf] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x3c) [0x7f7b6b464d6c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f7b6b464f28] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f7b6b3eafa3] -> dovecot/imap [u...@example.com 10.0.0.1 APPEND](main+0x333) [0x55ca8238e2e3] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f7b6b00ec05] -> dovecot/imap [u...@example.com 10.0.0.1 APPEND](+0xe476) [0x55ca8238e476] Feb 6 16:44:53 dovecot: IMAP(u...@example.com): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 84782 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) Feb 6 16:44:56 dovecot: IMAP(u...@example.com): Error: readdir(/data/mail/abc/default/.Foldername 01_ Foo 1234/new) failed: Unknown error 523 Yes, the folder name is "special" in this example. (I'm not sure if this readdir() error is actually related to the other issue.) So, this caused the imap process to die repeatedly and the user got disconnected many many times. In this state the mail services were not really usable. Side note: The NFS share was mounted by using the most conservative moint options I could think of: vers=4.1,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,nosharecache,noac,nordirplus,proto=tcp And if you're wondering: Yes, I'm using Dovecot director for IMAP and LMTP (currently running 3 VMs for Dovecot director and 3 VMs for Dovecot IMAP). Then the fun began... I've decided to change the following settings: mail_nfs_storage = no mail_nfs_index = no Re-created the maildir and restarted the imapsync copy process. Out of sudden the errors are gone! Now Dovecot is performing pretty well on my GlusterFS volume. Does this make any sense to anyone? Ciao - Frank
2.3.1 with quota and lmtp; message may be sent more than once
Hi,
I have another problem with dovecot 2.3.1 on FreeBSD (smtpd is postfix
3.3.0). When one mail is sent with different recipients and the quota
limit of one user is exceeded, the message will be delivered repeatedly
to all users. The queue from postfix says:
(lost connection with mailserver.foo.bar[private/lmtp-dovecot] while
sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once)
The problem started with dovecot 2.3.1. With 2.2.3x everything was fine.
Any ideas?
Thanx
Frank

Re: 2.3.1 with quota and lmtp; message may be sent more than once
Hi, thank you very much for your reply. Your solution seems to be a good workaround, until the patch from Stephan is available. Since I activated this setting in postfix, the problem doesn't appear any more.

Hi, I'm looking for some advice or pointers how to best solve a small problem that I have. I have no doubt that this can be done in dovecot, but I'm struggling to find the easiest way to implement it. First of all, what I have: I have a relative small dovecot setup for a dozen domains, and about 50 users in total. All users use IMAP to retrieve mail, and SMTP submission protocol to submit email. Because of the small size, every user has its own UNIX account, authentication is done using PAM and mail is stored in a Maildir folder in their home directory. Works perfectly! There is one minor inconvenience. When a new mail client is configured, users (often guided by the auto config generator of the mail client) tend to use their email address as the username to authenticate instead of their UNIX account name, which fails of course. Would it be possible to configure something that will map an email address to the UNIX account name and use the account name for authentication and obtaining the related information (uid, gid, home dir)? I do have two concerns: 1) I do not want to break existing mail configurations, so authentication with the UNIX username should still be possible. 2) I cannot do a simple reg. exp for the translation because every email domain has e.g. an i...@domain.com mailbox, and I do not want them all to go to UNIX user "info". As said, I would appreciate any advice on how this can be configured the easiest. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Frank

Hello,
on my private fully updated Fedora 34 system I've replaced version 2.3.16 by
version 2.3.17 without touching the configuration.
Whereas version 2.3.16 worked the new 2.3.17 says

Re: The end of Dovecot Director?
On 2022-11-01 16:58, Mark Moseley wrote: TL;DR: I think the real issue here is that Dovecot is removing *existing, long-standing, critical functionality* from the open source version. That is a huge, huge red flag. It certainly looks like a poor decision, driven by corporate interests. Makes me wonder which other feature will be moved to the commercial edition once the dust has settled. It really hurts the great reputation Dovecot has built over all these years. I've got my first Dovecot installation back in ~2006 and ever since I've been advocating it as the best IMAP server. So sad to see this feature removal now. Ciao - Frank

On 2022-11-02 09:11, Aki Tuomi wrote: You can also see the email sent by others which shows how you can do this without replication, using proxy and passdb to direct users to right backend. Which is basically what director does. It's not the same thing. It is not critical functionality. You can feasibly run a two-node dovecot system on NFS without having director. It seems to be critical enough to offer a replacement for paying customers, while at the same time leaving the community edition with no valid replacement. Ciao - Frank

Re: Problems after upgrade from 2.0 to 2.2
Thanks a lot!
This was added by a new debian package file! They added the 15-mailboxes.conf
file with this input-namespace.
It’s a bad thing. For changed configuration the installer asks which version,
old or new to take, but new files are installed without confirmation. But
that’s a debian problem, not dovecot.
Best regards,
Frank

I upgraded my dovecot install from 2.0.19 to 2.2.19. I haved update the

something or not. Here is my configure:

[Dovecot] clarifications on shared mailboxes
Hello
I need some clarifications on shared mailboxes.
Actually we use MBOX format with "real" unix users , but I've been asked
to create some shared mailboxes for some users who need to have some
for their working groups.
What would be the best way to create those shared mailboxes ?
Would it be possible to create some "shared space" on the server
in maildir format to get advantage of the last seen flag ?
If yes some config examples would be a great help.
See attach the doveconf -n output ( certificates names have been
obscured ;-) )
Thank you.

[Dovecot] converting from mbox to maildir ?
Hello We are planning to convert our mailhub ( freebsd 7.4 ) from mbox format to maildir format. I've read the documentation and performed some tests on another machine it is a bit long ... I would like some feedback from guys who did this operation and need some advice on what to convert first ? - first convert INBOX then convert IMAP folders ? - first convert IMAP folders then convert INBOX ? the machine use real users thru openldap ( pam_ldap + nss_ldap ) another problem is disk space. The users's email data takes about 2 Terabytes of data and I cannot duplicate as I only have 3 Tb on the raid array of the server. My idea is to use one of our NFS netapp filer during the convertion to throw the result of the convertion on an NFS mounted directory. Anyone did this before ? If yes I would be greatly interrested by their experience Thank you

nss_ldap can't store the mail_location override field needed to distinguish

so is there a massive conversion method ?
dsync works for that too:
1. dsync backup all users somewhere
2. wait close to the time you can shut down dovecot
3. dsync backup all users the second time
4. shutdown dovecot and MTA
5. dsync backup once more (hopefully this will be relatively quick)
The idea is that you can do incremental dsync backups. You'll of course
need to do this in a way that you don't run out of disk space..
Well I have NFS access to a Netapp filer with a LOT of disk space
I need some modifications in my dovecot configuration to use NFS
I think ?

You'll of course need to do this in a way that you don't run out of disk space.. Well I have NFS access to a Netapp filer with a LOT of disk space I need some modifications in my dovecot configuration to use NFS I think ? No need for any modifications. As long as you don't have multiple Dovecots in different servers accessing the same mails via NFS, there's no trouble. mmap_disable = yes Looks like you also have this already enabled. This is recommended (not required) with NFS, but if you're not normally using NFS at all you shouldn't enable this. OK thank you

[Dovecot] How to make Dovecot verbous
Hello I am struggling with Dovecot 2 (coming from Dovecot 1.0.10) with mysql Authentification for Postfix. I get errors when using it: dovecot: auth: Fatal: Unknown database driver 'mysql' dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling But a first thing would be to log the real errors, if there are any, so I set in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf auth_verbose, auth_verbose_passwords, auth_debug, auth_debug_passwords, mail_debug, verbose_ssl all to yes and I set: debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log but there is no logfile after restarting dovecot. How can I enable a (verbous) own Logfile in Dovecot? frank
Re: [Dovecot] How to make Dovecot verbous
I found the logfile problem: it was an error in 10-logging.conf auth_verbose_passwords = yes this gives an error and all the logging settings are not working. I found it with: doveadm log find Now dovecot logs into the given logfiles. but really not much, still the same information only. I read there: May 16 15:24:16 auth: Fatal: Unknown database driver 'mysql' May 16 15:24:16 master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling But I have the mysql driver, when checking: root@myserver:# dovecot --build-options | tail -n4 Mail storages: shared mdbox sdbox maildir mbox cydir raw --> SQL driver plugins: --> mysql postgresql sqlite Passdb: checkpassword ldap pam passwd passwd-file shadow sql Userdb: checkpassword ldap(plugin) nss passwd prefetch passwd-file sql Anyway I didn't compile it myself, I installed it with aptitude on ubuntu 12.04.

Do you still have specific users? Do you want the users to have
subscriptions? Do you need ACLs?
yes I need specific users using ACL
and yes I would like users have subsciptions
OK, so then you need to have a per-user mail_location for the subscriptions.
Something like:
namespace {
list = children
location = maildir:/var/mail/public
prefix = public/
separator = /
subscriptions = no
type = public
}
namespace inbox {
location = maildir:/var/lib/dovecot/empty:CONTROL=/var/mail/user/%u
prefix = /
inbox = yes
}
With the "empty" directory being non-writable, the users can't create any
private mailboxes, but with the writable control directory they can store subscriptions
there.
OK I see, Thanks a LOT Timo !

So in that case Thunderbird will "see" the subscribables folders that
are living in /var/mail/public ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2 fails after correct login
Hello
I installed dovecot 2.0.9 (and dovecot-mysql!) on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
root-server to work together with Postfix 2.9.1-4
After some struggle, I got Postfix's auth working, using dovecot for
smtp-authentification with mysql.
But dovecot himself is not working properly. When I connect, after giving
plaintext password I read the error in the client (I connect for debug reasons
with a dos-box on windows):
telnet example.org 110
+OK Dovecot ready.
USER m...@example.org
+OK

-ERR [IN-USE] Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information.
If I do:
...

I get:

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot 2 fails after correct login
Tim!
Missing the "crucial part" of your mail made me scrutinize more exactly in the
configuration parts of my dovecot installation.
I discovered now, that in my previous (working) 1.0.10 Dovecot config. I have
set the userdb to static:
userdb static {
args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes
}
So I will try with this again.
Since yet, very thank you for your hint and enlightenment :)
Cheers

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot 2 fails after correct login
Surely this was still a bit mistakely:
userdb static {
args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes
}
but it should be:
userdb static {
driver = static
args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes
}
Dovecot talks, if I start him:
root@myserver:~# dovecot
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: userdb
is missing driver
:)
And now, after setting the user and group of the whole dir (which was just
copied without the permissions owner and groups):
/home/vmail
to vmail:
chown -R vmail:vmail /home/vmail
THE GOOD DOVECOT IS WORKING!
Tank again, Tim!!!

Do you still have specific users? Do you want the users to have

yes I need specific users using ACL
and yes I would like users have subsciptions
OK, so then you need to have a per-user mail_location for the
subscriptions. Something like:
namespace {

location = maildir:/var/mail/public
prefix = public/
separator = /
subscriptions = no
type = public
}
namespace inbox {
location = maildir:/var/lib/dovecot/empty:CONTROL=/var/mail/user/%u

With the "empty" directory being non-writable, the users can't create
any private mailboxes, but with the writable control directory they
can store subscriptions there.

Yes, that's true. But I had never problems to test new versions with a modified
port. I copied
the port files to a new directory and changed the Makefile, e.g.:
WRKDIR=${.CURDIR}/work
DISTDIR= ${.CURDIR}
PACKAGES= /var/ports/packages
PORTNAME= dovecot
DISTVERSION=1.1.beta8
CATEGORIES= mail ipv6
MASTER_SITES= http://www.dovecot.org/releases/1.1/beta/
You can test snapshots with:
#DISTVERSION= 20071023
#MASTER_SITES= http://www.dovecot.org/nightly/
#WRKSRC=${WRKDIR}/dovecot-20070522
#CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with-storages=mbox,maildir
This works on FreeBSD-7 in a jail.

If a configurable number of failed attempts from the same IP is found, the IP is blocked out via iptables or hosts.deny for some time (default 10 minutes). Works pretty well for SSH, though I'm still waiting for the first attempt on my IMAP or SMTP ports ;-) So instead of letting a brute force attack continue at a slower pace, Fail2Ban locks out the attacking system for some time, while a legitimate user can mistype his password at least once or twice without penalty. If he continues to mistype his password, he probably deserves to wait ;-) If anyone want's to try it, a working fail2ban-regex for dovecot 1.05 and mysql is: failregex = Info: auth-worker\(default\): sql\(.*,\): Password mismatch Info: auth-worker\(default\): sql\(.*,\): unknown user Frank

[Dovecot] Problem with passwords surrounded by curly braces
Hello,
one of my users set his password to something surrounded by curly braces,
and promptly all access to his mailbox was refused. After looking through
the logs I found an entry "Unknown password scheme ", where ""
is the user's password, but without the curly braces.
I then browsed through the documentation and there was explained that it
is possible to prefix the password with the password scheme in curly
braces, like "{PLAIN}" where is the password itself.
Manually altering the users password in the database to "{PLAIN}"
(where "" is the user's password WITH curly braces) fixed this problem
for me at this time, but the time a user chooses such a strange password
I would have to edit the table again. So in my opinion the {SCHEME}-prefix
is not a useful thing. Why would anyone need it, anyway? Shouldn't all
passwords have the same scheme which is set in the dovecot.conf file once?
If the feature is indeed used: with a database lookup it should be
replaced by an optional database field or, if that's not possible, it
should be possible to disable this feature from the config file.

[Dovecot] Dovecot pgsqlauthentication database reconnection/failover problem
Hi, Our mail system uses dovecot-1.0-1.2.rc15.el5 in Centos-5.1 as our imap server. It connects to a pgsql database in another server as authentication backend. It works fine except occasionally fails to reconnect to the database after temporary network block, and dovecot has to be restarted to work again in such case. Since I can't find any specific setting in dovecot.conf to handle this reconnection problem, I opt to build a failover pgsql backend. Google led me to http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-January/027899.html. I followed the thread to modify my dovecot-sql.conf containing "connect = host=pgsql1 host=pgsql2 dbname= user=" If both databases are available, dovecot will choose pgsql2 as the default one, and user login works flawlessly. But when I block all traffic to host pgsql2, dovecot will repeatedly try pgsql2 and neglect available host pgsql1. I don't find relevent information in the dovecot wiki either. Can anyone here shed a light on me? Thanks in advance! Regards, Frank Wang

[Dovecot] debugging dovecot and sieve
I have install dovecot and sieve and it doesn't appear to be working.
Below is my dovecot.conf
Are there some debugging settings I can use to test if dovecot is
linking with sieve properly.
Nothing appears to show up in the logs

The attached script might help.
I used it during migration from UW-IMAP to dovecot.
It worked, although I'm not the author :-)

[Dovecot] Sieve plugin should recompile when symbolic link changes [patch]
The sieve plugin compares the modification dates of sieve source and compiled script and compiles the script only if necessary. When the managesieve extension is used, it creates a symbolic link for the script. In order to switch between scripts managesieve changes the link only. Therefore the sieve plugin should include the modification date of an symlink in its decision about compilation. The attached patch adds this functionality.

I maintain the iptables configuration(s) (on Fedora in /etc/sysconfig/iptables)
across machines using scp or rsync. No problem.
