Dear all,

We just found one issue in the newly released iRedMail-0.9.9, please follow the instruction below to fix it.

- iRedMail-0.9.9 has been repacked with this fix.
- iRedMail upgrade tutorial for iRedMail-0.9.9 has been updated with this fix.

About the issue

The SQL/LDAP query used by Dovecot introduced in iRedMail-0.9.9 doesn't convert upper cases to lower cases.

- If you always store maildir paths in lower cases, this issue doesn't impact your server.
- If you have maildir paths in upper cases, this issue will impact your server. When user logs in, Dovecot will create a new empty mailbox for the user.

How to fix it

For OpenLDAP and OpenBSD ldapd backends, find one line in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf (Linux/OpenBSD) or /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf (FreeBSD) like below:

user_attrs      = mail=master_user,mail=user,homeDirectory=home,=mail=%{ldap:mailboxFormat:maildir}:~/%{ldap:mailboxFolder:Maildir}/,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$

Replace it by:

user_attrs      = mail=master_user,mail=user,=home=%L{ldap:homeDirectory},=mail=%{ldap:mailboxFormat:maildir}:~/%{ldap:mailboxFolder:Maildir}/,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$

For MySQL/MariaDB backends, find lines in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf (Linux/OpenBSD) or /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.conf (FreeBSD) like below:

            CONCAT(mailbox.storagebasedirectory, '/', mailbox.storagenode, '/', mailbox.maildir) AS home, \
            CONCAT(mailbox.mailboxformat, ':', mailbox.storagebasedirectory, '/', mailbox.storagenode, '/', mailbox.maildir, '/', mailbox.mailboxfolder, '/') AS mail, \

Replace above 2 lines by:

            LOWER(CONCAT(mailbox.storagebasedirectory, '/', mailbox.storagenode, '/', mailbox.maildir)) AS home, \
            CONCAT(mailbox.mailboxformat, ':~/', mailbox.mailboxfolder, '/') AS mail, \

For PostgreSQL backend with PostgreSQL 8.x, find lines in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pgsql.conf (Linux/OpenBSD) or /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-pgsql.conf (FreeBSD) like below:

    mailbox.storagebasedirectory || '/' || mailbox.storagenode || '/' || mailbox.maildir AS home, \
    mailbox.mailboxformat || ':' || mailbox.storagebasedirectory || '/' || mailbox.storagenode || '/' || mailbox.maildir || '/' || mailbox.mailboxfolder || '/' AS mail, \

Replace above 2 lines by:

    LOWER(mailbox.storagebasedirectory || '/' || mailbox.storagenode || '/' || mailbox.maildir) AS home, \
    LOWER(mailbox.mailboxformat || ':~/' || mailbox.mailboxfolder || '/') AS mail, \

For PostgreSQL backend with PostgreSQL 9.x and later versions, find lines in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pgsql.conf (Linux/OpenBSD) or /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-pgsql.conf (FreeBSD) like below:

            CONCAT(mailbox.storagebasedirectory, '/', mailbox.storagenode, '/', mailbox.maildir) AS home, \
            CONCAT(mailbox.mailboxformat, ':', mailbox.storagebasedirectory, '/', mailbox.storagenode, '/', mailbox.maildir, '/', mailbox.mailboxfolder, '/') AS mail, \

Replace above 2 lines by:

            LOWER(CONCAT(mailbox.storagebasedirectory, '/', mailbox.storagenode, '/', mailbox.maildir)) AS home, \
            CONCAT(mailbox.mailboxformat, ':~/', mailbox.mailboxfolder, '/') AS mail, \
