Stats-writer permission denied
by Ken Wright 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

I've got a new Dovecot error (well, new to me, at least)! I ran tail /var/log/mail.err and got the following: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied I checked the file, and it's owned by www-data and the www-data group, with read and write permissions for owner and group... just like I have specified in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf. I can't understand why permission is denied when the file permissions appear to be correct. Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Ubuntu 20.04 Dovecot 2.3.7.2 Ken

Hello, just upgraded one of my testing machine from dovecot 1.2.15 to 2.0.7.

Bug: Logout counters reset after recreating hibernated process
by Eirik Rye 12 Mar '25

12 Mar '25

Hello, # dovecot --version 2.3.20 (80a5ac675d) When using hibernation (`imap_hibernate_timeout = 10s`), counters such as deleted/expunged messages, appear to be reset after the user process is recreated. Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure IMAP hibernation 2. Login with IMAP client 3. Delete+expunge a message 4. IDLE, and wait 10s for process to be hibernated 5. Unhibernate process (`DONE`), and log out 6. Observe the logged line: 2023-09-05T17:36:26+0200 imap(<redacted>)<776933><jA2nYJ4EPdcqAVtAAADwAAutur4AAAAB>: Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=9 out=88 deleted=0 expunged=0 trashed=0 hdr_count=0 hdr_bytes=0 body_count=0 body_bytes=0 The expected output is "deleted=1 expunged=1", not "deleted=0 expunged=0". If you follow the steps above, but skip the IDLE/hibernate step, the output is as expected. Interestingly, if the client is disconnected during hibernation (without recreating the process), the output from `imap-hibernate` is still as expected: 2023-09-05T17:45:15+0200 imap-hibernate(<redacted>)<770540><0qE0gJ4Emt8qAVtAAADwAAutur4AAAAB>: Info: Disconnected: Connection closed in=97 out=1020 deleted=1 expunged=1 trashed=0 hdr_count=0 hdr_bytes=0 body_count=0 body_bytes=0 This leads me to believe the counters are lost during process recreation, not during hibernation. This is an issue as customers will often come to us asking why messages have disappeared in their inbox, or asking for help to identify which client is expunging messages. Right now, this information is lost if hibernation is used and the client is hibernated after expunging. Best regards, Eirik Rye

2.3.21.1 and oauth
by v＠minakov.pro 14 Nov '24

14 Nov '24

Hello! I'm using dovecot with keycloak for oauth authentication. My config is: client_id = dovecot client_secret = MY_SECRET introspection_url = https://MY_KEYCLOAK/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token/introspect introspection_mode = post pass_attrs = pass=%{oauth2:access_token} Everything worked great on version 2.3.20. After upgrading to version 2.3.21.1 oauth stopped working with errors: auth: Debug: http-client: conn [::1]:443 [1]: Got 401 response for request [Req1: POST https://MY_KEYCLOAK/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token/introspect] Unauthorized (took 5 ms + >Aug 16 00:23:58 auth: Error: oauth2(MY_EMAIL,127.0.0.1,<HADwdb8f+PN/AAAB>): oauth2 failed: Introspection failed: No username returned I tried all combination of configurations, debugging and versions of keycloak. Seems something was broken in this version of dovecot.

What is the appropriate action for out of memory error for exceeding vsz_limit in my situation?
by Steve Dondley 08 Nov '24

08 Nov '24

Hi, I have sporadic messages on my server about an account getting an out of memory error: Fatal: master: service(imap): child 17910 returned error 83 (Out of memory (service imap { vsz_limit=325 MB }, you may need to increase it) - set CORE_OUTOFMEM=1 environment to get core dump) In response, I raised the limit from 256MB up to 325. That didn’t seem to help. The server has only 512 MB of RAM so I’m afraid to go much higher. I googled around a bit and some people are saying that when the dovecot.index.cache grows too large, it can cause these errors. The imap account has a dovecot.index.cache file that is 167 MB which seems to be well below the limit (but maybe it is compressed?). So I’m not entirely sure as to what the underlying problem is. So before upgrading to the server to 1024 MB of ram and going on a wild goose chase, I just want to get input on whether I have positively identified the problem and whether there might be something else I can do to manage this problem.

sieve crashes when two optional include scripts are missing
by Michal Hlavinka 27 Oct '24

27 Oct '24

Hi, we've found an issue with sieve plugin. When script includes two missing optional scripts, it causes crash. For reproducing the issue, script names must belong to same hash table node, so either two scripts with same name or scripts where 'hash(name) % table->size' results in same value, like missing_a and missing_aa in reproducer below. Reduced reproducer: cat >dovecot.min.conf <<EOF mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir plugin { sieve = file:/tmp;active=/tmp/dovecot.sieve } EOF cat >reproducer.sieve <<EOF require "include"; include :personal :optional "missing_a"; include :personal :optional "missing_aa"; EOF echo -n > empty sieve-test -c dovecot.min.conf reproducer.sieve empty any test mail would do, but empty file is enough for reproducer # return sblock->id causes the crash as sblock is NULL backtrace: (gdb) bt #0 sieve_binary_block_get_id (sblock=0x0) at src/lib-sieve/sieve-binary.c:421 #1 ext_include_execute_include (renv=0x5555555bbed8, include_id=1, flags=EXT_INCLUDE_FLAG_OPTIONAL) at plugins/include/ext-include-common.c:696 #2 opc_include_execute (renv=0x5555555bbed8, address=0x5555555bbf10) at plugins/include/cmd-include.c:399 #3 sieve_interpreter_operation_execute (interp=0x5555555bbe88) at src/lib-sieve/sieve-interpreter.c:901 #4 sieve_interpreter_continue (interp=0x5555555bbe88, interrupted=0x0) at src/lib-sieve/sieve-interpreter.c:959 #5 sieve_interpreter_start (interp=0x5555555bbe88, result=0x5555555b9230, interrupted=0x0) at src/lib-sieve/sieve-interpreter.c:1049 #6 sieve_interpreter_run (interp=0x5555555bbe88, result=0x5555555b9230) at src/lib-sieve/sieve-interpreter.c:1057 #7 sieve_run (sbin=0x55555558ee18, result=0x5555555b9230, eenv=0x7fffffffe890, ehandler=0x55555558c338) at src/lib-sieve/sieve.c:357 #8 sieve_test (sbin=0x55555558ee18, msgdata=0x7fffffffe9f0, senv=0x7fffffffea30, ehandler=0x55555558c338, stream=0x5555555b2cd0, flags=SIEVE_EXECUTE_FLAG_LOG_RESULT) at src/lib-sieve/sieve.c:598 #9 main (argc=5, argv=0x555555567a10) at src/sieve-tools/sieve-test.c:391 issue seems to be caused by lib-sieve/plugins/include/ext-include-common.c: ext_include_generate_include on first pass (script) the check for script already compiled into binary at 529: included = ext_include_binary_script_get_include_info(binctx, script); returns NULL, so code goes through 'else' block where it hits sieve_script_is_open(script) check. It includes script with NULL block, returns 0 so caller cmd_include_generate does not emit anything. On second pass the above 'included' check returns first missing script, it goes through true block where it just checks flags and returns non-zero, so caller this time goes through the emit code block and the previously included NULL sblock gets referenced causing crash later. Note: despite scripts have different name, they pass the "same script" check because sieve_file_script_equals compares 0==0 dev & inode numbers as scripts do not exist. This is why scripts do not have to have same names. Side effect of this is that as missing_a and missing_aa are treated like the same script, only first one is linked in compiled svbin. Which means that if missing_aa reappears later, svbin won't get recompiled. Another manifestation of the issue is when included missing_a script is present when main script is compiled and later missina_a is removed again. During execution, script is not recompiled and it aborts for hash table dupe check: sieve_binary_open->ext_include_binary_script_include->hash_table_insert There are several ways how to solve this. I've tried a few, but there were other corner cases that appeared. One tried way was for example ext_include_generate_include in the 'if (included)' replicate the check sieve_script_is_open(...) from else block, just check flags, no include and set result to 0. Another way to solve this is to return from ext_include_execute_include early if sblock is NULL just before it tries to derefernce it, similarly as it does if it fails 'once' check. Same for dumping in opc_include_dump. Whilst the first approach seems a bit better, it won't stop crashing in existing environments as it won't trigger svbin recompilation and svbin would fail. This means that the second soultion is sort of needed anyway. This still won't solve the problem with different missing scripts as only first one would be able to trigger recompilation when file becomes available. Just including both in the mentioned function won't work either as they would still be evaluated as same and hash table anti-dupe check would trigger abort. So some changes in script comparison seem needed anyway. This is what I've used in my approach. Return early from ext_include_execute_include and opc_include_dump if sblock is NULL and change sieve_file_script_equals to compare also script->location for missing scripts (when inode is 0). Let me know if you need more information. Cheers, Michal Hlavinka

Uppercase username emails are rejected
by lua8ds＠proton.me 20 Oct '24

20 Oct '24

When a sender writes my email address with my username uppercase, e.g. USERNAME(a)name.com, in the to: field of their MUA, my mail server rejects that email. /var/log/mail.log prints: <USERNAME(a)redacted.com>: host mail.redacted.com[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 > <USERNAME(a)redacted.com> User doesn't exist: USERNAME(a)redacted.com (in reply to RCPT TO > command) In the manual, I found that: auth_username_format Default: %Lu Formatting applied to username before querying the auth database. You can use the standard variables here. Examples: %Lu Lowercases the username [...] My current setting was not the default; I had: auth_username_format = %n So I updated that setting to: auth_username_format = %Lu expecting that %Lu would lowercase the username - and that my problem would be fixed. It does not though. Updating this setting not only prompts my email server to still reject USERNAME(a)redacted.com, but now also rejects (lowercase username) username(a)redacted.com (which my server had no issue receiving beforehand). So I reverted auth_username_format to: auth_username_format = %n Emails sent to username(a)redacted.com land in my mailbox again - but emails sent to USERNAME(a)redacted.com still don't. What can I try to troubleshoot? Which config file shall I share with you?

last_login plugin does not update IP
by Maciej Polewczyński 11 Oct '24

11 Oct '24

When using the last_login plugin I noticed that the IP address information is not updated. If there is no entry in the sql database for a given user, the first time the login date and time information and the IP address will be saved. Each subsequent login only updates the date and time. The IP address remains unchanged. Example configuration for pop3 service: map { pattern = shared/last-login/pop3/$user/$rip table = last_login value_field = last_pop3_access value_type = uint fields { userid = $user last_pop3_ip = $rip } } This is translated into the following sql command: INSERT INTO last_login (last_pop3_access,userid,last_pop3_ip) VALUES (1727691183673,'test','1.2.3.4') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE last_pop3_access=1727691183673 You can see that after "ON DUPLICATE KEY" only the time is updated. Is there any way to influence the behavior of the plugin and the sql query so that the IP address is also updated? I'm using Dovecot v2.3.4 -- Best regards, Maciej Polewczyński Do or do not. There is no try.

Namespace for seperate Storage of Archive
by Christian Großegger 05 Oct '24

05 Oct '24

Hi everyone, I found the Solution myself. The key was to simply create an unnamed mailbox directive so that the namespace prefix directly results into an mailbox that Thunderbirds shows as the Archive. Thanks everbody on the dovecot team for making such a brilliant Software! Greetings! Christian namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / } namespace archivns { prefix = Archive/ <--- this is the Name which now appears at the same Level then Sent/Draft/... location = maildir:/mnt/mails2/%u separator = / mailbox { <--- here a name is omitted auto = subscribe special_use = \Archive } }

Namespace for seperate Storage of Archive
by Christian Großegger 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Hi everyone, I would like to move the "Archives" Folder for every user from my default storage to another storage in the backend, while maintaining the current frontend view of the IMAP Mailboxstructure. Because I didn't manage to get it to work properly on my production server, I made a separate Testserver. My problem is, that I don't know what to put in the "prefix" section of the Namespace, so that the Archive Folder is on the same folder/mailbox hierarchy level as the ones in the default namespace (Sent Messages, Drafts ...). I have read the Namespace RFC (rfc2342) and there is one example which uses the Tilde ~ Character as the Namespace prefix - put the rfc doesn't address the tilde, it only has it in one of the examples (Example 5.4). Because ~ often means 'base folder' I thought this would work. But it doesn't. The Thunderbird client shows: Rootdir/Sent but Rootdir/~/Archive I am aware I can solve this with symlinks, but I would like to do it properly with namespaces. Could you please tell me what I am missing? In case this is an Thunderbird Issue, could you please point out, what I don't understand? Thank you!

Remove hard-coded paths in doc/solr-config-9.xml
by Saman Ghannadzadeh 30 Sep '24

30 Sep '24

Hi, Dovecote includes a config file for use with Solr 9, at 'doc/solr-config-9.xml'. However, this file has two problems: - it hard codes the path to the Solr installation - it hard codes version numbers of Icu/Lucene packages This issue can be be easily fixed by using the '${solr.install.dir}' variable in that config file. The attached patch will fix both issues. Best wishes, Saman Ghannadzaded diff -crB a/doc/solr-config-9.xml b/doc/solr-config-9.xml *** a/doc/solr-config-9.xml 2024-09-29 20:50:42.873229769 +0100 --- b/doc/solr-config-9.xml 2024-09-29 20:58:53.507638810 +0100 *************** *** 75,82 ****   ! <lib dir="/opt/solr/modules/analysis-extras/lib" regex="icu4j-70.1.jar"/> ! <lib dir="/opt/solr/modules/analysis-extras/lib" regex="lucene-analysis-icu-9.8.0.jar"/>   ! <lib dir="${solr.install.dir}/modules/analysis-extras/lib" regex="icu4j-.*\.jar"/> ! <lib dir="${solr.install.dir}/modules/analysis-extras/lib" regex="lucene-analysis-icu-.*\.jar"/> <!-- an exact 'path' can be used instead of a 'dir' to specify a specific jar file.

Dovecot trying to fetch a directory that contains a typo, couldn't figure out where to fix it

Dear list, I am encountering an unusual issue where Thunderbird is incorrectly accessing my "Messagerie" folder.

TLS certificates SQL driver ?
by Andrew Mason 28 Sep '24

28 Sep '24

Hi folks, I was curious if it was possible to configure Dovecot to lookup the TLS certificate it should present in a similar way that the passdb lookups can use a driver. I have a few domains that share the same IP and I'm currently using SNI with both Dovecot and Postfix. I have pretty much all the configuration stored for each domain in a relational database , including the TLS cert that Postfix presents. If I add a new domain, I still have to add an entry to config file for dovecot i.e local_name imap.example.org { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/imap.example.org.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/imap.example.org.key } local_name imap.example2.org { ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/imap.example2.org.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/imap.example2.org.key } I was hoping it was possible to use the same records in the database that I currently use for Postfix. Kind regards Andrew

Dovecot undeleteable folder?
by Benoît Panizzon 27 Sep '24

27 Sep '24

Hi Liste We are and ISP and use Dovecot. From time to time, we have customer reporting not being able to delete IMAP folder they have created. This often seems to happen when some email client is creating temporary folder on some move or copy operations. Permissions look right. I can't figure out, what goes wrong, but I can reproduce via telnet by manually issuing IMAP commands. To me it looks like Dovecot forgets about what folders exist. Is there some caching of the folder information? Is there a way to enable some debug logging of folder creation and deletion? Example: Customer has a Folder named: ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX Folder file exists and permissions look right: ./ARCHIV/AdministrationXXX d delete ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX d OK Delete completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). Folder file is still present and can not be deleted again. Re-Connecting with a client lists the folder as present despite having been deleted. It's sort of a Schrödinger Folder. It is there but it's also not there. c create ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX c OK Create completed (0.007 + 0.000 + 0.006 secs). d delete ARCHIV.AdministrationXXX d OK Delete completed (0.006 + 0.000 + 0.005 secs). Now the Folder File is gone, showing the permissions were correct. I can do this corrective action via telnet. But most mail clients will refuse to create a Folder with the same name as an existing one. What could cause that issue and how I could try to further debug the issue? No errors, no hints in the logs. -- Mit freundlichen Grüssen -Benoît Panizzon- @ HomeOffice und normal erreichbar -- I m p r o W a r e A G - Leiter Commerce Kunden ______________________________________________________ Zurlindenstrasse 29 Tel +41 61 826 93 00 CH-4133 Pratteln Fax +41 61 826 93 01 Schweiz Web http://www.imp.ch ______________________________________________________

dsync with vurtial folder leads to mess of msg ID
by Kirill A. Korinsky 25 Sep '24

25 Sep '24

Greetings, I have a setup with two dovecot servers and dsync replication between them. On both of them I have a virtual folders, forexample All with config: mx1# cat /etc/dovecot/virtual/All/dovecot-virtual * -Trash -Trash/* -Junk -Junk/* all All virtual folders are excluded from replication because it leads to broken replication with errors like: virtual.All can't be created. So, I have. replication_dsync_parameters = -d -l 30 -U -x virtual. Unfortently, after a couple of weeks I've noticed that msg id for the same message on the different servers aren't match. For example: mx1# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox virtual.All header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 157786 mx1# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox INBOX header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 5561 mx1# vs mx2# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox virtual.All header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 157766 mx2# doveadm fetch -u kirill(a)korins.ky 'uid' mailbox INBOX header Message-ID 'macports/macports-ports/pull/22284/c1901369454(a)github.com' uid: 5561 mx2# as you may see msgid at INBOX are matched, but it isn't true for virtual.All, here 157786 vs 157766 So, here the question: how can I sync msg id inside virtual folder on this setup? -- wbr, Kirill

bug dir copy group permissions?
by Marc 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

I am not sure if this page is correct, looks at least like this g+s not ok https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/admin_manual/filesystem_permission/ work-around is to manually create dirs mdbox mdbox/storage mdbox/mailboxes. I would think this is a bug as files seem to be created correctly. group rights are not copied on directories, resulting in getfacl #effective:--- for the acl groups just testing with rm -R -f everything below usertest6 [@ shared]# ls -ln total 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 0 0 34 Sep 23 11:50 bak drwxrwx---+ 4 10001 10001 34 Sep 23 12:18 usertest drwxrwx---+ 3 10002 10002 19 Sep 23 11:51 usertest2 drwxrwx---+ 3 10006 10006 19 Sep 23 12:37 usertest6 -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 121 Sep 23 11:46 README where are the group rights on mdbox?

Mail Backup from IMAP to POP3
by Reprobus 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

Hi, I'm in a situation whereas I need to backup my email from an IMAP server to a POP3 email client of my choosing. I'm hoping Dovecot can do such a task and is there a container to which I can run to set this up from ? My IMAP email server is maxed and I need to dump all the emails off the IMAP to POP3 as to clear it up. Thank You

shared mailbox not visible, acl_shared_dict stays empty
by Marc 22 Sep '24

22 Sep '24

I am creating the mailbox like this: doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest shared/sharedtest1 I can set acl's (I think), at least the acl get produces the same. doveadm acl set -u usertest shared/sharedtest1 user=usertest6 lookup read write write-seen insert post doveadm acl get -u usertest shared/sharedtest1 However this file stays empty, I have read somewhere it should automatically be updated? acl_shared_dict = file:/tmp/shared-mailboxes.db How should I add entries manually there with: doveadm dict set file:/tmp/shared-mailboxes.db shared/sharedtest2 kempotest6 or with this syntax still???? https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-April/038922.html

public mailbox filesystem layout + permission best practice
by Marc 22 Sep '24

22 Sep '24

I have some issues testing public mailboxes with linux users and groups creating mailboxes for users for the first group is not really a problem: doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest public/publictest1 doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest6 public/publictest2 doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup2 mailbox create -u usertest2 public/publictest3 If I remove usertest6 from testgroup2 roundcube instantly stops showing these mailboxes. However when I try to make a new public mailbox with a different group. I am getting errors. doveadm -o mail_gid=testgroup3 mailbox create -u usertest6 public/publictest4 missing +r perm: public/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log public/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log, we're not in group I have the impression I am doing something wrong here, maybe configure the namespace with different filesystem layout? I assume it is possible to work with multiple groups in one public namespace? public/ └── mdbox ├── dovecot.list.index.log ├── dovecot-uidvalidity ├── dovecot-uidvalidity.66f00cc7 ├── mailboxes │ ├── publictest1 │ │ └── dbox-Mails │ │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ │ └── dovecot.index.log │ ├── publictest2 │ │ └── dbox-Mails │ │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ │ └── dovecot.index.log │ ├── publictest3 │ │ └── dbox-Mails │ │ └── dovecot.index.log │ └── testthunderbird │ └── dbox-Mails │ ├── dovecot.index.cache │ └── dovecot.index.log └── storage └── dovecot.map.index.log namespace public { disabled = no type = public separator = / prefix = public/ location = mdbox:/home/popusers/public/mdbox list = yes subscriptions = no }

indexer: Error: conn unix:indexer (pid=562491,uid=10003): didn't reply with a valid VERSION line
by phren＠ist-einmalig.de 20 Sep '24

20 Sep '24

Hi, A few weeks ago we moved our mailserver to a new location. On the new location we use now dovecot v2.3.19.1 insteadof v2.3.4.1. We moved the mailboxes by zipping all mailbox on the old location and unzip on the new location. Now we see an indexer error quite often: > indexer: Error: conn unix:indexer (pid=563158,uid=10005): didn't reply with a valid VERSION line: 1 0 indexer indexer Sometimes when we try to use the index for searching we just get no results. We can't really find a cause for this error on the internet. As solution we found "Just do a re-indexing." Ok, but what may cause this error? And how can we prevent this error in the future? As indexer we use lucene. Any hint is appreciated. -- Phren

In case etc. there's alias from domainA to domainB which results in lmtp delivery with both recipients submitted in the same "lmtp session" as "batch", it seems that only one delivery happens, as by the time zlib plugin kicks in - effective user id for the process is already set to second delivery user which fails zlib(at least disabling that/removing it from mail plugins delivery/save is successful). I know that it can mitigate by modifying (in this case exim's) conf and setting batch_max to 1, which results in single submit(single RCPT TO), though still curious if that's by design? What I guess is asynchronous compression ? Or that would be considered a bug? Best Regards

These merge understudies who are taking courses while working and attempting to change family and profession responsibilities, military understudies on sending, and understudies with genuine inadequacies or sickness that make it pursuing for them to go to classes. Unfortunately, there are many tricks that confirmation to take online courses for you. These affiliations charge ridiculous totals and don't complete their obligations.

Copyright infringement suggests utilizing someone else's words and thoughts without their endorsement. It is viewed as a kind of cheating and can accomplish a delicate grade or even send off from school. It is difficult to ensure that a used professional won't phony.

Correct permissions for global sieve scripts
by Richard 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

Hi there, I've set up dovecot via global sieve scripts to send mails that a user manually moved to their junk directory to rspamd to learn them as spam (and learn messages as ham if they are moved out of it). I thought I had it all properly set up, but I'm now again seeing log messages like this: Sep 15 13:01:00 dovecot[523226]: imap(username)<823661><4+8RXyYi2L9/AAAB>: Error: sieve: failed to execute to program `rspamd-learn-spam.sh': refer to server log for more information. [2024-09-15 13:01:00] Sep 15 13:01:00 dovecot[523226]: imap(username)<823661><4+8RXyYi2L9/AAAB>: Error: sieve: Execution of script /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/learn-spam.sieve failed The content of learn-spam.sieve is this: require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve"]; pipe :copy "rspamd-learn-spam.sh"; And the content of rspamd-learn-spam.sh is this: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/rspamc learn_spam All the necessary files are located in /etc/dovecot/sieve/global and are owned by dovecot:dovecot with rw, r, r permissions. Also, I have compiled the .sieve files with sievec, the resulting .svbin files have the same permissions and ownership. What am I doing wrong? I don't see any further "server log" that will tell me more information. I'm using dovecot 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) on Debian 12.7 Best Richard

Allowing parallel read-only requests via doveadm http api
by Kevin Kelker 16 Sep '24

16 Sep '24

Hi, is there any chance to open the doveadm http api to handle more than one client at a time if the requests are read-only commands that have no risk of breaking something when they run simultaneously? We have a scenario of using it only for getQuota to visualize a live-status of the mailbox usage but every once in a while, there are more than one parallel requests for that that are then getting tcp connection resets. As far as I've seen it in https://dovecot.org/mailman3/archives/list/dovecot@dovecot.org/thread/PYMMJ… spawning another doveadm http api service with another port wouldn't do the trick. If that's not possible, wouldn't be a failure code as a response a more clean approach than just refusing the connection at all? Right now, it's getting logged on the dovecot backend as "doveadm server can handle only a single client" but the requesting client gets a connection reset instead of a json-type response with a failure code.

Selectively query folders for new emails
by Habakuk Tibatong 12 Sep '24

12 Sep '24

Hi folks, I have two questions: - Is it possible to exclude folders from being queried for new emails? I have many folders in my maildir, each of which has many sub-folders, with many sub-sub-folders. My Thunderbird logs in and then queries one folder after the other and this takes a very long time. However, there are only 5 folders into which I automatically sort emails with sieve, and I would like to query only these 5 folders. The other folders are folders into which I sort emails manually. It makes no sense to query them. How could I achieve this? - How can I exclude folders from being displayed in the subscribe window, i.e. that these folders exist, e.g. they are available but cannot be subscribed to, and therefore cannot be displayed in the email client? I plan to introduce a all-times "non-deletable" spam folder, which contains a copy of all spam emails that this user received and which I use to teach spamassassin, without the user being able to see, empty or delete this folder, and without him being able to infect himself with potentially infected emails.

Dovecot v2.3.21.1 released
by Aki Tuomi 07 Sep '24

07 Sep '24

Hi all, we are releasing a CVE patch release 2.3.21.1. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.21.1.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.21.1.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Kind regards, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- - CVE-2024-23184: A large number of address headers in email resulted in excessive CPU usage. - CVE-2024-23185: Abnormally large email headers are now truncated or discarded, with a limit of 10MB on a single header and 50MB for all the headers of all the parts of an email. - oauth2: Dovecot would send client_id and client_secret as POST parameters to introspection server. These need to be optionally in Basic auth instead as required by OIDC specification. - oauth2: JWT key type check was too strict. - oauth2: JWT token audience was not validated against client_id as required by OIDC specification. - oauth2: XOAUTH2 and OAUTHBEARER mechanisms were not giving out protocol specific error message on all errors. This broke OIDC discovery. - oauth2: JWT aud validation was not performed if aud was missing from token, but was configured on Dovecot.

What would be the effect of deleting EVERYTHING in .imap.... will it just get recreated as needed? or do I need to take care and only remove stuff I know is no longer used?

Can I delete duplicate messages under Maildir on the server?
by MI 05 Sep '24

05 Sep '24

After a client misconfiguration, many messages have been deleted. I restored them from backups, but now there are many duplicates. I can identify them on the server, and delete them. But do I need to also delete the dovecot.index files and/or other dovecot* files in the affected folders, or will these be automatically updated? (My Dovecot version is 2.3.13, so I guess I should not use doveadm deduplicate which would risk deleting non-duplicate messages, according to the "doveadm-deduplicate deletes non-duplicates" thread here?)

allow_nets check failure still performs LDAP bind authentication
by Florian Wunderlich 04 Sep '24

04 Sep '24

Postfix authentication via Dovecot. Dovecot performs the allow_nets check, which fails. It then still attempts to authenticate the user via LDAP bind, thus allowing DoS attacks where the entry in the directory will be locked after a few failed attempts. dovecot --version: 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964) Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm), x86, no NFS Sep 04 07:26:05 postfix/smtpd[48225]: connect from unknown[182.176.211.10] Sep 04 07:26:17 dovecot[33863]: auth: *ldap(XXX,182.176.211.10): allow_nets check failed: IP 182.176.211.10 not in allowed networks* Sep 04 07:26:17 dovecot[33863]: auth: *ldap(XXX,182.176.211.10): Password mismatch (for LDAP bind)* Sep 04 07:26:27 postfix/smtpd[48225]: warning: unknown[182.176.211.10]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server, sasl_username=(unavailable) Sep 04 07:26:27 postfix/smtpd[48225]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[182.176.211.10] Sep 04 07:26:27 postfix/smtpd[48225]: disconnect from unknown[182.176.211.10] ehlo=2 starttls=1 auth=0/1 commands=3/4 The allow_nets extra field comes from LDAP. This works as a pass_filter query is performed first, which returns the allow_nets. /DN is looked up by sending a pass_filter LDAP request and getting the DN from the reply. This is very similar to doing a password lookup. The only difference is that userPassword attribute isn’t returned. Just as with password lookups, the pass_attrs may contain special extra fields./ https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/authentication/ldap_bind/#… After this, Dovecot should immediately fail the authentication. /If the user tries to log in from elsewhere, the authentication will fail the same way as if a wrong password was given./ https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/authentication/allow_nets/ There is no need to perform the bind authentication. According to the log (and the locked user accounts), it is still performed. Configuration is irrelevant, for completeness’s sake: auth_bind = yes pass_filter = (&(|(objectClass=simpleSecurityObject)(objectClass=posixAccount))(cn=%n)) pass_attrs = \ cn=user, \ allowNets=allow_nets

After upgrading we have seen in the logs similar messages to the following: 2024-08-29T19:33:27.755399+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: Warning: mdbox /path/user1/mdbox/storage: Inconsistency in map index (2213,40 != 2213,56). 2024-08-29T19:33:27.755399+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: Warning: mdbox /path/user1/mdbox/storage: Inconsistency in map index (2213,40 != 2213,56) 2024-08-29T19:33:27.838990+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: sieve: msgid=<39f9c444-0c08-4bda-bfc9-512c34584470(a)modulus.gr>: fileinto action: stored mail into mailbox 'Replies' 2024-08-29T19:33:27.840222+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: Warning: fscking index file /path/user1/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index 2024-08-29T19:33:27.953281+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: Warning: mdbox /path/user1/mdbox/storage: rebuilding indexes 2024-08-29T19:37:27.989792+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481249><vhzsLROj0GYQVgcAfAk26A:P1>: Error: Timeout (180s)while waiting for lock for transaction log file /path/user1/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log (WRITE lock held by pid 481240) 2024-08-29T19:37:27.995913+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481249><vhzsLROj0GYQVgcAfAk26A:P1>: Error: sieve: msgid=<39f9c444-0c08-4bda-bfc9-512c34584470(a)modulus.gr>: fileinto action: failed to store into mailbox 'Mailbox': Timeout (180s) while waiting for lock for transaction log file /path/user1/mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log (WRITE lock held by pid 481240) This has happened a few times since we upgraded always by a lmtp process. It seems to be happening randomly and we have not been able to reproduce it. The mailboxes are stored in a glusterfs server, and we use the dovecot director with shared mailboxes architecture. Usually this was mitigated automatically by dovecot index rebuilding, but last time it happened on a mailbox with a lot of giga byte of mail data the following logs were produced for more than an hour: 2024-08-29T19:45:30.506694+03:00 server1 dovecot: lmtp(user1(a)modulus.gr)<481240><7TMeHNei0GYpeTkA1g8ogQ:P1>: Error: mmap_anon(/path/user/mdbox/mailboxes/Mailbox/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.cache, 74076160) failed: Cannot allocate memory During that period segfaults starting being generated for the imap processes accessing that mailbox probably caused by timeouts from imap processes attempting to fetch emails from the affected mailbox: [3912187.557029] imap[481783]: segfault at 38 ip 00007fb03248abf8 sp 00007ffc88b264f0 error 4 in libdovecot-storage.so.0.0.0[7fb0323c7000+d8000] likely on CPU 6 (core 3, socket 0) What might be the reason that inconsistency of the map index is introduced on random users? We have seen some other users had similar issues and have mentioned them on this mailing list(dovecot Digest, Vol 249, Issue 4, dovecot Digest, Vol 250, Issue 8)? Is there any update for a mitigation or bug confirmation for dovecot version 2.3.21 that might be responsible? Thank you, Nikos Pyrgiotis

Comments from the dovecot community? Aug 19, 2024 11:07:30 AM bugzilla-noreply(a)freebsd.org: Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla(a)FreeBSD.org> has asked Larry Rosenman <ler(a)FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 280929: mail/dovecot move bogus warning "Time moved forwards" to debug https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280929 --- Description --- Dovecot complains about time moving forward, which seems to be due to a broken mechanism (on FreeBSD) used to measure timeouts. This warning spams the maillog up to several hundred times per day. There's an ongoing thread about this issue in the freebsd forums: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/dovecot-time-moved-forwards.82886 In post #33 RypPn points out the offending line in main.c and in post #34 msplsh suggests instead of completely removing/commenting out the line, it would be more sensible to move it from 'warning' to 'debug'. This is what this patch does: change the log facility to 'debug' to mute that bogus message for standard configurations, but keep it in 'debug' for anyone who might want to debug that issue in the future. I tested the patch as a local patch in poudriere and it builds fine on 13.3-RELEASE with the quarterly and latest branch.
