Download Dovecot 2.2.30.2

Dovecot is a mail server with support for imap, pop3, ipv6, ssl and tls, and is partly under an MIT and partly under a Lgplv2.1 license. Maildir, mbox and the self-developed dbox format can be used to store mail messages. In addition, MTAs such as Postfix 2.3+ and Exim 4.64+ can perform their smtp authentication process at Dovecot without any intermediate steps. The developer has released version 2.2.30.2 with the following announcement:

v2.2.30.2 released

Hopefully the last 2.2.30.x..

• auth: Multiple failed authentications within short time caused crashes
• push notification: OX driver crashed at deinit

v2.2.30.1 released

Due to some release process changes I didn’t notice that one important bugfix wasn’t included in the v2.2.30 release branch before I made the release. So fixing it here with v2.2.30.1. Also included another less important fix.

• quota_warning scripts weren’t working in v2.2.30
• vpopmail still wasn’t compiling

Also I guess should mention that in v2.2.30+ the “script” service’s protocol changed to a new version. If anyone had written their own script services (not using the included “script” binary) they would need some changes. I haven’t heard of anyone having done that though.

v2.2.30 released

• auth: Use timing safe comparisons for everything related to passwords. It’s unlikely that these could have been used for practical attacks, especially because Dovecot delays and flushes all failed authentications in 2 second intervals. Also it could have worked only when passwords were stored in plaintext in the passdb.
• master process sends SIGQUIT to all running children at shutdown, which instructs them to close all the socket listeners immediately. This way restarting Dovecot should no longer fail due to some processes keeping the listeners open for a long time.
• auth: Add passdb { mechanisms=none } to match separate passdb lookup
• auth: Add passdb { username_filter } to use passdb only if user matches the filter. see
• dsync: Add dsync_commit_msgs_interval setting. It attempts to commit the transaction after saving this many new messages. Because of the way dsync works, it may not always be possible if mails are copied or UIDs need to change.
• imapc: Support imapc_features=search without ESEARCH extension.
• imapc: Add imapc_features=fetch-bodystructure to pass through remote server’s FETCH BODY and BODYSTRUCTURE.
• imapc: Add quota=imapc backend to use GETQUOTA/GETQUOTAROOT on the remote server.
• passdb imap: Add allow_invalid_cert and ssl_ca_file parameters.
• If dovecot.index.cache corruption is detected, reset only the one corrupted mail instead of the whole file.
• doveadm mailbox status: Add “firstsaved” field.
• director_flush_socket: Add old host’s up/down and vhost count as parameters
• More fixes to automatically fix corruption in dovecot.list.index
• dsync-server: Fix support for dsync_features=empty-header-workaround
• imapc: Various bug fixes, including infinite loops on some errors
• IMAP NOTIFY wasn’t working for non-INBOX if IMAP client hadn’t enabled modseq tracking via CONDSTORE/QRESYNC.
• fts-lucene: Fix it to work again with mbox format
• Some internal error messages may have contained garbage in v2.2.29
• mail-crypt: Re-encrypt when copying/moving mails and per-mailbox keys are used. Otherwise the copied emails can’t be opened.
• vpopmail: Fix compilation
