speedup doveadm
by Chris 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

All, I've to set ACLs in public namespace for more than 5000 folders. That takes some hours. I'm calling doveadm by a perl script. Is there any way to speedup doveadm? Is it possible to set ACLs for multiple folders or users in a single call? - Chris

Problem setting owner
by Luca Bertoncello 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hi list! I have a Dovecot 2.2.9 installed from Ubuntu-Repository. It uses LDAP to authenticate against an Active Directory controller. The authentication works, but it tries always to use the UID of the user for the mailbox... I already added: mail_uid = 1005 mail_gid = 8 in 10-mail.conf and: user_attrs = \ =user=exim, \ =uid=1005, \ =gid=8, \ =quota_rule=*:bytes=%{ldap:quotaBytes}, \ =home=/home/mailboxes/%{ldap:sAMAccountName}/Maildir, \ =mail=maildir:/home/mailboxes/%{ldap:sAMAccountName}/Maildir in the dovecot-ldap.conf.ext, but it seems to ignore them... Could someone help me? Thanks Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

fts-lucene with virtual folders
by Dmitry Nezhevenko 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hi, It looks like I've found something strange. It looks like dovecot updates fts-lucene index every time I'm opening virtual folder that contains FTS query: indexer-worker(dion): Warning: fts-lucene: Settings have changed, rebuilding index for mailbox dovecot-virtual is pretty simple: archive/INBOX BODY "test" first of all, I'm trying to perform FTS in archive/INBOX itself, then I'm trying to open virtual folder. both default namespace and 'archive' are private namespaces with mdbox storage. plugin { fts = lucene fts_lucene = whitespace_chars=@. fts_autoindex = no } Any suggestions? -- WBR, Dmitry

Hi, I´m using dovecot on debian jessie from the xi-rename-it repo (deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-2.2 main). After upgrading to 2.2.23 I´ve got the following error for example if I delete a message: *Apr 13 15:14:10 mail dovecot: dict(18884): Error: Couldn't load plugin /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/dict/libdict_ldap.so: dlopen() failed: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/dict/libdict_ldap.so: undefined symbol: ldap_search_start * But I can´t find any ldap settings in my config (doveconf -a). Are any changes that I overlook? Thanks, Michael

v2.3 development tree forked in git
by Timo Sirainen 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

The git master branch starts tracking Dovecot v2.3 development from now on. There are soon going to be several API changes there that might break plugins. If you wish to keep tracking latest v2.2.x development instead, switch to master-2.2 branch. The nightly releases at http://dovecot.org/nightly/ will also track v2.3 tree.

Warning: Global setting won't change the setting inside an earlier filter
by Oliver Riesen-Mallmann 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hi, I'm using the Dovecot Prebuilt Binary: deb http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-2.2 main I configured multiple SSL certificates with client TLS SNI (see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration) Since my last update I get some warnings: doveconf: Warning: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 12: Global setting ssl_cert won't change the setting inside an earlier filter at /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl-langzeittest.de.conf line 4 doveconf: Warning: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 13: Global setting ssl_key won't change the setting inside an earlier filter at /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl-langzeittest.de.conf line 5 doveconf: Warning: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 12: Global setting ssl_cert won't change the setting inside an earlier filter at /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl-langzeittest.de.conf line 4 doveconf: Warning: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 13: Global setting ssl_key won't change the setting inside an earlier filter at /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl-langzeittest.de.conf line 5 The reason is this commit: doveconf: Log a warning if a global setting is updated after it was a… …lready set inside a filter https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/87404eae4581d7ef834f490507503e59a500… My configuration is (shorted): # dovecot -n # 2.2.devel (87404ea): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.devel (215349a) # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.10 [...] ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/v083.violet.fastwebserver.de/fullchain.pem [...] ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/v083.violet.fastwebserver.de/privkey.pem [...] local_name imap.langzeittest.de { ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/fahrerlager.langzeittest.de/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/fahrerlager.langzeittest.de/privkey.pem } local_name mail.langzeittest.de { ssl_cert = </etc/letsencrypt/live/fahrerlager.langzeittest.de/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </etc/letsencrypt/live/fahrerlager.langzeittest.de/privkey.pem } I understand, that the warning is correct. I configured ssl_cert and ssl_key both, globally (like a default) and in some local_name filters. I tried already to move the global configuration of ssl_cert and ssl_key in an own local_name filter. It didn't work. No login possible: dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.2.devel (87404ea) starting up for imap (core dumps disabled) dovecot: imap-login: Error: SSL: Stacked error: error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line: Expecting: ANY PRIVATE KEY dovecot: imap-login: Fatal: Couldn't parse private ssl_key: Address family not supported by protocol How is the correct configuration in this scenario?

Different usernames for different login method
by Luca Bertoncello 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hi again! With Dovecot 2.2.9 authenticating against the Active Directory I have following problem: - if I login using LOGIN, PLAIN or CRAM, the username is REALM\login (in my case: CCH\lucabert) - if I login using GSSAPI, the username is just login (in my case: lucabert) this makes the access to the mailbox very difficult, since I don't what can I write in mail_location... If I login with LOGIN, I can write: maildir:/home/mailboxes/%4.u/Maildir but of course it does not work if I login using GSSAPI... The mailboxes have just the login (in my case: lucabert). Can someone explain me why %u is different and how can I solve my problem? Thanks a lot Luca Bertoncello (lucabert(a)lucabert.de)

Slow reading of large dovecot-uidlist files
by Bostjan Skufca 13 Apr '16

13 Apr '16

Hi there, (context: I was optimizing Roundcube mailbox list server response, and in that 300-400ms response time, around 170ms is spent on single fgets() call which is waiting IMAP repsonse to "SELECT MyMailbox" command) I straced dovecot and of the whole request/response process, around 30ms is spent for everything else, and overwhelming majority of time (150-170ms) is spent for reading dovecot-uidlist file for given mailbox. I skimmed over src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-uidlist.c and src/src/lib/istream.c, but I am out of ideas on how to optimize mentioned file reading elegantly to make it faster. Is there any way to cache parsed content of uidlist file(s) or some other obvious quicktrick I am missing to speed this process up? Does anyone have any other ideas, how to speed this up? b.

Dsync Header Hashing
by Richard Laager 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

Is there any way to disable the header hashing in dsync? I'm doing a one-time migration to Dovecot using imapc. The FETCHes for Date & Message-ID take a non-trivial amount of time and it's not clear to me if they have a function for a one-time migration. -- Richard

Fwd: Plus addressing on Sentora using Postfix
by Philip McGaw 12 Apr '16

12 Apr '16

I am running Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS “Trusty” and "postconf -d | grep mail_version” gives me “mail_version = 2.11.0”, with Dovecot 2.2.9 I have installed Sentora (http://sentora.org) which sets most of the configuration up for Postfix up, I have made some changes to allow me to use certificates for IMAP and SMTP SSL (https://skippy.org.uk/lets-encrypt-postfix-and-dovecot/) My Postfix main config file is http://pastebin.com/hdxdNK4d My Postfix master process configuration file is http://pastebin.com/YuCTq0JQ Dovecot -n gives me the following http://pastebin.com/05xixDtD I am trying to send an email to site(a)skippy.org.uk and site+test(a)skippy.org.uk (sending from an iCloud account), it works to site(a)skippy.org.uk (site(a)skippy.org.uk is a real email address), the lines from mail.log are as follows: > Mar 11 17:48:07 njoror postfix/smtpd[32706]: connect from mr11p26im-asmtp004.me.com[17.110.86.109] > Mar 11 17:48:07 njoror postfix/smtpd[32706]: Anonymous TLS connection established from mr11p26im-asmtp004.me.com[17.110.86.109]: TLSv1.2 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 (128/128 bits) > Mar 11 17:48:08 njoror postfix/smtpd[32706]: 1BAF055AB6: client=mr11p26im-asmtp004.me.com[17.110.86.109] > Mar 11 17:48:08 njoror postfix/cleanup[32710]: 1BAF055AB6: message-id=<90594925-C294-4A38-8275-C23DA55A9308(a)icloud.com> > Mar 11 17:48:08 njoror postfix/qmgr[32599]: 1BAF055AB6: from=<philipmcgaw(a)icloud.com>, size=1513, nrcpt=1 (queue active) > Mar 11 17:48:08 njoror postfix/pipe[32605]: 1BAF055AB6: to=<site+test(a)skippy.org.uk>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.43, delays=0.34/0.01/0/0.09, dsn=4.1.1, status=SOFTBOUNCE (user unknown) > Mar 11 17:48:08 njoror postfix/smtpd[32706]: disconnect from mr11p26im-asmtp004.me.com[17.110.86.109] vs > Mar 11 17:49:23 njoror postfix/smtpd[32706]: connect from mr11p26im-asmtp004.me.com[17.110.86.109] > Mar 11 17:49:23 njoror postfix/smtpd[32706]: Anonymous TLS connection established from mr11p26im-asmtp004.me.com[17.110.86.109]: TLSv1.2 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 (128/128 bits) > Mar 11 17:49:24 njoror postfix/smtpd[32706]: 33D2355AB9: client=mr11p26im-asmtp004.me.com[17.110.86.109] > Mar 11 17:49:24 njoror postfix/cleanup[32710]: 33D2355AB9: message-id=<2456DC97-4E3A-4A91-B3A0-CAFE056F116F(a)icloud.com> > Mar 11 17:49:24 njoror postfix/qmgr[32599]: 33D2355AB9: from=<philipmcgaw(a)icloud.com>, size=1249, nrcpt=1 (queue active) > Mar 11 17:49:25 njoror postfix/smtpd[32706]: disconnect from mr11p26im-asmtp004.me.com[17.110.86.109] > Mar 11 17:49:26 njoror postfix/pipe[32605]: 33D2355AB9: to=<site(a)skippy.org.uk>, relay=dovecot, delay=1.8, delays=0.63/0/0/1.2, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) > Mar 11 17:49:26 njoror postfix/qmgr[32599]: 33D2355AB9: removed Looking at the lines from mail.log it looks like it thinks there should be a user called site+test(a)skippy.org.uk, this has been puzzling me for a while, I was wondering if any one on here could see what was wrong, and what I needed to change, Looking at a few examples and online guides I thought I had covered all the bases.
