dovecot 2.2.13: LMTP delivery with multiple recipients incorrectly mixes users
Hi. I'm using exim that delivers email over LMTP to dovecot 2.2.13. I noticed that dovecot LMTP service is sometimes (reare but repeats) mixing users. Example below. There is one mail (msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>) that is going to be delivered to multiple local recipients. Some recipients are delivered properly: Sep 1 05:40:33 host dovecot: lmtp(3176): Connect from local Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, gbuser1): TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, jpuser2): TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, rkuser3): TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, gbruser4): TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, pbauser5): TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, mwauser6): TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, mdyuser7): TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to INBOX but some are not: Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, lkrzyuser8): Error: lstat(/var/lib/dovecot/control/gbuser1/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist.lock) failed: Permission denied Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, lkrzyuser8): Error: file_dotlock_create(/var/lib/dovecot/control/gbuser1/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Permission denied (euid=28371(<unknown>) egid=17373(<unknown>) missing +x perm: /var/lib/dovecot/control/gbuser1, dir owned by 67593:17373 mode=0700) Notice it was trying to deliver to user "lkrzyuser8" but it tries to access some other user files (dovecot-uidlist). euid=28371 is indeed "lkrzyuser8" but why it tries to access "gbuser1" files?

All that because it mixes users. That leads to more problems (like when using filesystem quota. Since user A has his files (by uid/gid) stored in directory of user B. A cannot access them, delete them but they still eat user A quota). Looks to be some major brokeness in dovecot lmtp. (batch_max = 1 should workaround the problem I think but that's not a solution)> Some recipients are delivered properly: > > Sep 1 05:40:33 host dovecot: lmtp(3176): Connect from local > Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, gbuser1): TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: > msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to > INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, jpuser2): > TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: > msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to > INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, rkuser3): > TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: > msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to > INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, gbruser4): > TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: > msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to > INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, pbauser5): > TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: > msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to > INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, mwauser6): > TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: > msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to > INBOX Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, mdyuser7): > TDO+HNDpA1RoDAAA16XVAg: > msgid=<1ACE53B70631CA45B62348E4EE8757493731A59E at KRMXA41>: saved mail to > INBOX > > but some are not: > > Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, lkrzyuser8): Error: > lstat(/var/lib/dovecot/control/gbuser1/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist.lock) > failed: Permission denied Sep 1 05:40:34 host dovecot: lmtp(3176, > lkrzyuser8): Error: > file_dotlock_create(/var/lib/dovecot/control/gbuser1/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlis > t) failed: Permission denied (euid=28371(<unknown>) egid=17373(<unknown>) > missing +x perm: /var/lib/dovecot/control/gbuser1, dir owned by > 67593:17373 mode=0700) > > Notice it was trying to deliver to user "lkrzyuser8" but it tries to access > some other user files (dovecot-uidlist). euid=28371 is indeed "lkrzyuser8" > but why it tries to access "gbuser1" files?
