Issue with LMTP proxying and port number
Hello there, Everything was working fine on Dovecot 2.2.10 (on CentOS 7), but after updating to version 2.2.36, our director servers are not able to proxy LMTP. We are sending mail from exim to the local Dovecot LMTP socket, which then used to send it to our internal mail servers on port 24. Besides the update, nothing has changed in the config files. The configuration has been working great for months … Then we had a great idea of doing holiday maintenance. (Currently, we are working around this issue by having exim send mail to the IP and port, instead of the socket.) Doing a tcpdump capture shows no TCP traffic either. The logs seem to say that it is trying to go to port 0, so my guess is that it’s not getting the port directive from either static or sql — since the docs state that if these settings aren't specified, it will always use the same connection type for the proxy that it received the connection on. Any thoughts? I can share config if necessary.

Re: Localhost imap server fails after upgrade from 2.2.33.2-1 to 1:2.3.2.1 (fwd)
Hi Aki,
Bingo! Putting that line in dovecot.conf rather than my custom file, and
then using my old custom file, unchanged, from Alpine works perfectly.
My only remaining question, then, would be ... what was this (change)
about / or is there any documentation that I should/could have read to
know what to do without asking a lead developer?
Thank you very much.
I hope you had a great start to the New Year!
Happy 2019,
Chris

Re: Localhost imap server fails after upgrade from 2.2.33.2-1 to 1:2.3.2.1 (fwd)
If your client directly executes imap binary, it is not mandatory for dovecot
to be running, but you need to put the service section into
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and restart the dovecot service.
Putting it to your local config file does not affect the global service.

Re: Localhost imap server fails after upgrade from 2.2.33.2-1 to 1:2.3.2.1 (fwd)
Hi Aki,
I am not 100% sure. I do not really know what my OS does. "ps -A" says
dovecot is running, but if I say "sudo service dovecot stop", my email
client works fine still (that is, assuming the old version of dovecot is
installed). ie the on-demand instances of dovecot-imapd that Alpine calls
are, I assume, started and stopped by Alpine. (?)
Is my OS using dovecot for other stuff, like managing system mail (e.g.
root's reports of cron jobs, which still go to /var/mail, but I never read
them)? I am not certain. But I believed that any other use of dovecot
would be using a different .conf file, so I was hoping I just had to know
how to make my custom one (-c flag) work.
Thanks,
Chris

Oops; I did not think carefully enough about your instructions. Here is the

Re: Localhost imap server fails after upgrade from 2.2.33.2-1 to 1:2.3.2.1
Did you remove the service section before taking doveconf -n? 'cos I can't see
it here..
Also, did you restart dovecot after config change?

Re: Localhost imap server fails after upgrade from 2.2.33.2-1 to 1:2.3.2.1
Hi Aki,
Yes, the same connect error: imap(meuser,)Error:
net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied
The mail location in "doveconf -n" (belo) does not reflect my preferences.
In Alpine, if I acknowledge the error I get, which tells me to add
novalidate-cert in my pinerc file, it prompts me for my POSIX username and
password. After that, I get my /var/spool/mail inbox, which is not what I
want.

You are still getting the connect error?
Can you share your doveconf -n?

Hi Aki,
Thanks. I put that in the .conf file I mentioned, and it made no
difference.

Re: Localhost imap server fails after upgrade from 2.2.33.2-1 to 1:2.3.2.1
Hi!
In your case it's probably easiest to change
service stats {
unix_listener stats-writer {
mode = 0666
}
}

Localhost imap server fails after upgrade from 2.2.33.2-1 to 1:2.3.2.1
I use a localhost dovecot imap server in order to access maildir folders from Alpine (see 2009 instructions for my set up here https://cpbl.wordpress.com/2009/11/07/alpine-offlineimap-and-gmail-under-ubuntu/ ) My configuration has worked nicely since 2009, but failed after a recent upgrade of dovecot (during basic upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 to 18.10). The version of Alpine did not change. Uninstalling dovecot-core and dovecot-imapd, and reinstalling the older versions, fully fixes the problem. I would like to know how to get my configuration working with the new version of dovecot. Here's what the problem looks like: I have a file auto-dovecot.conf with only the following two lines. verbose_proctitle = yes mail_location = maildir:/home/meuser/imap/gmailStanford:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=/home/meuser/imap/gmailStanford/INBOX Other /etc/ files are unchanged from installation defaults. Alpine calls imapd when it starts, with the following command: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -c /home/meuser/dotfiles/auto-dovecot.conf When I run that command, I get: imap(meuser,)Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SNIPPET=FUZZY LITERAL+ NOTIFY] Logged in as meuser so I am guessing that the first line is the issue, since when the older version I get instead: * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE] Logged in as meuser Can anyone help me?

Moving Alternate Storage to another disk.
Hello, Dovecot 2.3.4_3 on FreeBSD 11.2. I am using mdbox Alternate Storage since about two years without any problems. However, the disk containing this storage is almost full and I have to move this data to another disk, probably zpool. Would it be okay to do the following? 1) Shut down dovecot (and mail server) so no new mail comes in. 2) Copy/move all files in ALT location to new disk, using shell commands like cp/mv/cpdup. 3) Change the path to ALT in dovecot-conf mail_location. 4) Change the 'dbox-alt-root' soft-links in each users main (INBOX) directory to point to this new location. 5) Start up dovecot and mail server. Am I missing something or maybe there is a better way? -- Thanks, and have a nice new year. bOnK

Did you notice that you have a mailbox called 'Archive' and namespace called
'Archive'? Namespace roots are not selectable, and this looks more like a
config error.

I get this error message from apple mail when I right click and choose

"The IMAP command "UID COPY" (to Archive) failed for the mailbox "INBOX"

If I add the inbox=yes, the dovecot logs are flooded with

I still don't recommend to use imapsync for migrations as UIDVALIDITY and UID numbers will change and end users will need to invalidate their local client caches and redownload all mail headers and usually also mail bodies again.

Re: Migration
A totally different approach (that is imap-server agnostic), providing that you're setting up those new accounts with temporary passwords (which you know), before users change their passwords to their liking: you could also use imapsync ( https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync) . We here use it with a batch file and a text file containing all accounts to do mass-migrations, usually at night, when there's little to none user interaction with their mail accounts. I like this approach because mail service never gets interrupted and we do programmed syncs all night in case DNS propagation takes more than expected and mail still arrives to the old server.

I'm currently running an small imap-server on Dovecot 2.2.4 but will retire that server. I've set up an new server with Dovecot 2.3.4 and will migrate the mailboxes (maildir-format) from the old to the new server. I'm planning to restructure the accounts a bit when migrating so I need to move them one by one. Its only a few so thats not a big issue. Both servers are using virtual accounts (users file). I've understood that best method for migration is to run doveadm backup -R from the new server. But I really cant figure out what other parameters or settings that I need to perform that task and if it should be run as user vmail or root. Would be greatful for any tips, hints, links or similiar. Once you have the new server set up, you can use dsync over ssh to sync the mailboxes with something like: doveadm backup -u user@newserver -R ssh sudouser@oldserver sudo /usr/bin/doveadm dsync-server -u user@oldserver needs to be run as root on new server. Also ssh access with keys and without password is recommended. Sami
