Authentification fails in dovecot 2.3.0.1

Hi I've upgraded dovecot from 2.2.22 to 2.3.0.1. Now I can't authenticate any longer. My mail client says that the user name and password are rejected by dovecot. I get this line in /var/log/auth.log: Mar 6 19:28:02 desktop auth: PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted And this in /var/log/dovecot.log: Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from /var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=5615) Mar 06 19:28:02 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured session=ggZPmsJmIoh/AAAB lip=127.0.0.1 rip=127.0.0.1 lport=993 rport=34850 local_ Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/lib20_auth_var_expand_crypt.so Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Debug: pam(v,127.0.0.1,<ggZPmsJmIoh/AAAB>): lookup service=dovecot Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Debug: pam(v,127.0.0.1,<ggZPmsJmIoh/AAAB>): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Mar 06 19:28:02 auth-worker(5617): Info: pam(v,127.0.0.1,<ggZPmsJmIoh/AAAB>): pam_authenticate() failed: System error Mar 06 19:28:04 auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL 1 user=v Mar 06 19:28:06 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts in 4 secs): user=<v>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, TLS, session=<ggZPmsJmIoh/AAAB> Now it seems I can't go back to 2.2.22 as well: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3 says "Downgrading is possible to v2.2.27 and later. (v2.2.27 accidentally broke dovecot.index* backwards compatibility a bit.)" What should I do now? Remove the dysfunctional dovecot server and try a fresh new 2.3.0.1 install? How would I migrate my mail?

AppArmor profile for Dovecot on Debian Stretch
by André Rodier 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Hello all, Is there any guide to help in the configuration of Dovecot for AppArmor on Debian / Ubuntu ? Or maybe does any of you already have something that works? I am actually adding AppArmor on an email server project, and I had some trouble with the versions from Debian. I would like to avoid - if possible - the long try and error process for each Dovecot executable. I am using IMAP, LMTP, Sieve and ManageSieve, with LDAP users. The full project reference is here: https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox ii dovecot-core 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-imapd 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-ldap 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-lmtpd 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-managesieved 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-pop3d 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 ii dovecot-sieve 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u2 amd64 Thanks for your advices André

Mail addresses with quotes + Postfix
by Philipp Berger 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Dear all, I have a working setup with Postfix + Dovecot, storing users in a MySQL table. I ran into problems setting up and using a mail address like a"@"b(a)mydomain.tld, which by RFC should be valid, but leads to problems in Dovecot. From my debugging, I can see that on the lookup, Dovecot replaces %n with "a" (quotes added by me) and %d with "b(a)mydomain.tld" (quotes added by me). So the original quotes are gone, and the domain/user split is incorrect. I am not sure of Postfix passes the address without quotes to Dovecot or whether Dovecot can not handle quotes correctly, but I was hoping that someone with more insight into Dovecot could help me out here. System Info: Debian 9, Postifx 3.1.6-0+deb9u1, Dovecot 2.2.27-3+deb9u1 Postfix master.cf for Dovecot: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=virtual:virtual argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} I am grateful for any hints :) Thank you in advance, kind regards, Philipp

extra IMAP folders: how to make all clients use the same Sent folder?
by Stanislaw Findeisen 07 Mar '18

07 Mar '18

Dear All I have just setup IMAP with Maildir, but unfortunately some clients create their own folders instead of using those specified in 15-mailboxes.conf . What could be the reason? Here's what it looks like: > B list "" * > * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Sent) "." "Sent Messages" > * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." Gesendet > * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." Entw&APw-rfe > * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "." Trash > * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." Papierkorb > * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Drafts) "." Drafts > * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Sent) "." Sent > * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." Ausgang > * LIST (\HasNoChildren \Junk) "." Junk > * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." INBOX > B OK List completed. Here for example "Gesendet" (meaning "Sent" in German) is a folder created by some Android client app. This app uses it to store its sent mail, while another client uses the Sent folder. Also, is it correct that all those folders (both pre-made and extra) get created directly in the user's maildir, alongside cur, new, tmp and Dovecot index files? Shouldn't there be any subdir? > # dovecot --version > 2.2.13 Thanks! Stanisław

requiring a full fqdn for authentication

Hello, I'm using dovecot to do postfix authentication. I'm trying to get dovecot to require a complete email address as a login. Currently I can log in by either a username or fqdn.

This is the whole idea behind imap, to be able to do work while off-line and sync changes when on-line or I get it wrong ? thanks anyway George

sieve vacation alias handling problem
by Karol Augustin 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hi, I am using Dovecot LDA as LMTP renders envelope extension unusable. The problem I have noticed is that when user has multiple aliases sieve responds to all of them, not only to :addresses specified. >From testing it seems that :addresses only adds addresses to the list of "known" emails to check against. It is not limiting it. As I understand, sieve should check if To: header is consistent with addresses known to be users. But how Dovecot knows about aliases assigned to the user? >From my testing if header To: address is consistent with envelope To: address the reply is fired. I have sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient left at it's default value (no), so that shouldn't be the case. Now if user address(a)example.com has alias alias(a)example.com specified, the vacation reply will be sent to email addressed to alias(a)example.com, which is weird, because this behavior should be enabled by switching sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient to yes. When user receives an email that was originally sent to his gmail account (forwarded) there is no reply. If I add gmail address to :addresses reply is generated as expected. So my main question is if this is expected? I would like to enable only delivery to primary address and to + extensions to that address by default. I think that it might be that Postfix is expanding aliases and passing the final recipient (as to=<XXX>) to dovecot. Then dovecot is using that address to check for explicit delivery, but something fails, as this address is obviously not in To: header. So it looks like orig_to has to be used as well which should be disabled by sieve_vacation_use_original_recipient? My address is: karol(a)augustin.pl, alias is: carol(a)augustin.pl Mar 2 12:37:32 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<3ba0578a5f6b170e942b5bac1b19be36(a)posteo.net>: sent vacation response to <sender(a)example.com> Mar 2 12:37:32 mail postfix/qmgr[4744]: 3zt82h4CG4z2xlw: from=<>, size=732, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 2 12:37:32 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<3ba0578a5f6b170e942b5bac1b19be36(a)posteo.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Mar 2 12:37:32 mail postfix/pipe[8793]: 3zt82f3x4xz2xmw: to=<karol(a)augustin.pl>, orig_to=<carol(a)augustin.pl>, relay=dovecot, delay=2.2, delays=2.2/0/0/0.06, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) Forward from from gmail: Mar 2 11:38:19 mail postfix/qmgr[4744]: 3zt6kL1yF7z2xgg: from=<karolaug+caf_=karol=augustin.pl(a)gmail.com>, size=5831, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Mar 2 11:38:19 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<e610a47934f9aabb31f833c025075cff(a)posteo.net>: discarding vacation response for implicitly delivered message; no known (envelope) recipient address found in message headers (recipient=<karol(a)augustin.pl>, and additional `:addresses' are specified) Mar 2 11:38:19 mail dovecot: lda(karol(a)augustin.pl): sieve: msgid=<e610a47934f9aabb31f833c025075cff(a)posteo.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Mar 2 11:38:19 mail postfix/pipe[5362]: 3zt6kL1yF7z2xgg: to=<karol(a)augustin.pl>, relay=dovecot, delay=1.3, delays=1.2/0/0/0.05, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) from my master.cf: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -a ${original_recipient} -d ${user}@${nexthop} Thanks, Karol -- Karol Augustin karol(a)augustin.pl http://karolaugustin.pl/ +353 85 775 5312
