Message events Introduction ------------ Dovecot's Push Notification framework exposes RFC 5423 (Internet Message Store Events) [https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5423] events that occur in Dovecot to a system that can be used to report these events to external services. These events are available within the notification framework, although a driver may not implement all: * FlagsClear * FlagsSet * MailboxCreate * MailboxDelete * MailboxRename * MailboxSubscribe * MailboxUnsubscribe * MessageAppend * MessageExpunge * MessageNew * MessageRead * MessageTrash These events are not supported by the notification framework: * Login (handled by <Authentication.txt>) * Logout (handled by <Authentication.txt>) * QuotaExceed (handled by <Quota.txt>) * QuotaWithin (handled by <Quota.txt>) Usage ----- To use push notifications, both the "notify" and the "push_notification" plugins need to be activated. For LMTP delivery, this is required: ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify push_notification } ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you also want push notifications to work for LDA-based delivery, you would need additional configuration: ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins notify push_notification } ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- Drivers ------- DLOG (Debug log) ---------------- ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- plugin { push_notification_driver = dlog } ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will cause notifications to end up in your debug log. OX (Open-Xchange) driver ------------------------ The OX backend supports sending notifications on MessageNew events (i.e. mail deliveries, not IMAP APPENDs). The HTTP end-point (URL + authentication information) to use is configured in the Dovecot configuration file. The appropriate configuration options will contain the HTTP URL denoting the end-point to connect to as well as the authentication information for Basic Authentication as configured by properties "com.openexchange.rest.services.basic-auth.login" and "com.openexchange.rest.services.basic-auth.password". The URL to configure in Dovecot configuration follows this pattern. ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- <http|https> + "://" + <login> + ":" + <password> + "@" + <host> + ":" + <port> + "/preliminary/http-notify/v1/notify" ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- E.g. ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- plugin { push_notification_driver = ox:url=http://login:pass@node1.domain.tld:8009/preliminary/http-notify/v1/notify } ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- For HTTPS endpoints, system CAs are trusted by default, but internal CAs might need further configuration. Furthermore, it is also possible to specify more than one HTTP end-point to connect to if a new message delivery occurs. Thus the configuration section mentioned above may be extended by additional "push_notification_driver" entries; e.g. push_notification_driver2, push_notification_driver3, etc. Please note that the path "/preliminary/http-notify/v1/notify" denotes the internal REST API of the Open-Xchange Middleware, which is not publicly accessible. The administrator can decide whether to add that path to the Apache configuration (see alsoAppSuite:Apache_Configuration and AppSuite:Grizzly) through a Location/ProxyPass directive: ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Location /preliminary> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all # Only allow access from servers within the network. Do not expose this # location outside of your network. In case you use a load balancing service in front # of your Apache infrastructure you should make sure that access to /preliminary will # be blocked from the internet / outside clients. Examples: # Allow from 192.168.0.1 # Allow from 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 # Allow from 192.168.0. ProxyPass /preliminary balancer://oxcluster/preliminary </Location> ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- In case the "user=" sent by OX in the push_notification_driver url data does not match the IMAP login of a user, Dovecot ignores it. This can be overridden by defining "user_from_metadata" in the push_notification_driver url, e.g. ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- push_notification_driver = ox:url=http://example.com/ user_from_metadata ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example Payload --------------- See https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/plugins/push-notification/push-notification-driver-ox.c. Push notification sent in JSON format with the following fields: * *user*: User identifier (string) * *event*: RFC 5423 event type (string; currently only "'MessageNew'") * *folder*: Mailbox name (string) * *imap-uidvalidity*: RFC 3501 UIDVALIDITY value of the mailbox (integer) * *imap-uid*: UID of the message, if applicable (integer) * *from*: RFC 2822 address of the message sender, if applicable (string) * *subject*: Subject of the message, if applicable (string) * *snippet*: Snippet of the message body, if applicable (string) * *unseen*: RFC 3501 UNSEEN value of the mailbox (integer) ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 { "user": "4@464646669", "imap-uidvalidity": 123412341, "imap-uid": 2345, "folder": "INBOX", "event": "MessageNew", "from": "alice@barfoo.org", "subject": "Test", "snippet": "Hey guys\nThis is only a test...", "unseen": 2 } ---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lua --- Since v2.3.4+ you can use Lua to write custom push notification handlers. See <Design.Lua.txt> for general information about Lua in Dovecot. If you have mail_lua_script (a global script for storage) it will be used if no script is specified.

Currently it supports * mailbox create, delete, rename, subscribe and unsubscribe * message new, append, expunge, read and trash, flags set, flags clear All events are called within a transaction. The event is called with context and an event table, which contains the event parameters.All events contain at least * name - name of the event * user - current mail user Events are always called after the fact. There has to be at least one event handler, or the transaction begin and end functions are never called.This is optimization to avoid roundtrip to Lua when it's not needed. Transactions ------------ * dovecot_lua_notify_begin_txn(user) Start transaction. Return value is used as transaction context and is treated as opaque value by Lua driver. The user parameter is mail_user object. * dovecot_lua_notify_end_txn(context, success) End transaction, context is unreferenced. Mailbox events -------------- All mailbox events contain 'mailbox' parameter, which is the name of the affected mailbox. * dovecot_lua_notify_event_mailbox_create(context, {name, mailbox}) Called when mailbox has been created. * dovecot_lua_notify_event_mailbox_delete(context, {name, mailbox}) Called when mailbox has been deleted. * dovecot_lua_notify_event_mailbox_rename(context, {name, mailbox, mailbox_old}) Called when mailbox has been renamed, old name is retained in mailbox_old attribute. * dovecot_lua_notify_event_mailbox_subscribe(context, {name, mailbox}) Called when mailbox has been subscribed to. The mailbox does not necessarily exist. * dovecot_lua_notify_event_mailbox_unsubscribe(context, {name, mailbox}) Called when mailbox has been unsubscribed from. The mailbox does not necessarily exist. Message events -------------- All message events contain following parameters +--------------+----------------------+ | mailbox | Mailbox name | +--------------+----------------------+ | uid | Message UID | +--------------+----------------------+ | uid_validity | Mailbox UID validity | +--------------+----------------------+ * dovecot_lua_notify_event_message_new(context, {name, mailbox, uid, uid_validity, date, tz, from, to, subject, snippet}) Called when message is delivered. * dovecot_lua_notify_event_message_append(context, {name, mailbox, uid, uid_validity, from, to, subject, snippet}) Called when message is APPENDed to a mailbox. * dovecot_lua_notify_event_message_read(context, {name, mailbox, uid, uid_validity}) Called when message is marked as Seen. * dovecot_lua_notify_event_message_trash(context, {name, mailbox, uid, uid_validity}) Called when message is marked Deleted. * dovecot_lua_notify_event_message_expunge(context, {name, mailbox, uid, uid_validity}) Called when message is EXPUNGEd. * dovecot_lua_notify_event_flags_set(context, {name, mailbox, uid, uid_validity, flags, keywords_set}) Called when message flags or keywords are set. flags is a bitmask. keywords_set is a table of strings of the keywords set by the event. * dovecot_lua_notify_event_flags_clear(context, {name, mailbox, uid, uid_validity, flags, keywords_clear, keywords_old}) Called when message flags or keywords are removed. flags is a bitmask. keywords_clear contains the keywords cleared, keywords_old is the table of keywords that were set before the event.
