Dovecot is looking for .dovecot.lda-dupes in the wrong place
by Michael 03 Sep '14

Hi, I just moved the dovecot maildir location for all virtual users to another location. I moved everything from /var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n to /var/vmail/%d/%n/maildir Everything seem to be fine except of one recurring error: Sep 2 10:16:09 mx0 dovecot: lmtp(13226, sv_bogies(a)neurohr.at) Error: file_dotlock_open(/var/mail/vhosts/domain.at/michael/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory Sep 2 13:31:27 mx0 dovecot: lmtp(16248, sv_bogies(a)neurohr.at) Error: file_dotlock_open(/var/mail/vhosts/domain.at/michael/.dovecot.lda-dupes) failed: No such file or directory So Dovecot is looking in the old path.

Trouble viewing Inbox via IMAP Client
by Peter Cook 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

Hello, I have been having trouble with this issue for quite some time now. Here is my environment: CentOS 6.5, Postfix built with PGSQL support, PFA, and dovecot. The problem I am having is that I can send and receive mail fine, but when I try to view my Inbox in an IMAP client like Thunderbird, I can only view sent mail and trash.

dsync-server couldn't create .dovecot-sync.lock file
by Listas＠Adminlinux 02 Sep '14

My dovecot stores users' emails on /var/spool/imap/<user> and stores the messages index on /var/lib/imap/<user>. I have many users who do not yet have their userdb_home directories created on the server, because that is created at the time of first login. I'm testing dsync for replication and have seen the following error: dsync-server(<user>): Error: Couldn't create lock /var/lib/imap/<user>/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory The /var/lib/imap/<user> directory does not exist yet and I think this is the cause.

Master user and non-plaintext auth does not work

mail_location hashing & lowercasing?
by Ralf Hildebrandt 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

Currently, I'm using mail_location = mdbox:/var/spool/mail/%Ld/%Ln/mdbox Now I want to add a partitioning (so I don'T have all directories in one single directory), but can't find the right syntax: mail_location = mdbox:/var/spool/mail/%Ld/<HASHING HERE>/%Ln/mdbox It seems like I'd need to use %N (new hash) on %Ln and then take a substring of that. %2NLn 2 Characters of the %N hash of %Ln (the lowercase username) But this gives me a verbatim "Ln" on the path! -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein

Need help to compile and install a minimal dovecot imap plugin
by Stefan Arentz 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

I am trying to create a plugin that adds a new IMAP capability. So far I have this: const char *foo_plugin_version = DOVECOT_ABI_VERSION; static struct module *foo_module; static imap_client_created_func_t *next_hook_client_created; static void foo_client_created(struct client **client) { str_append((*client)->capability_string, " XFOO"); if (next_hook_client_created != NULL) { next_hook_client_created(client); } } void foo_plugin_init(struct module *module) { i_info(“init”); foo_module = module; next_hook_client_created = imap_client_created_hook_set(foo_client_created); } void foo_plugin_deinit(void) { i_info(“deinit”); imap_client_created_hook_set(next_hook_client_created); } const char foo_plugin_binary_dependency[] = "imap”; On Fedora 20, with the dovecot and dovecot-devel packages installed, I compile this with: cc -Wall -shared -fPIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/include/dovecot -o lib20_foo_plugin.so foo-plugin.c And then install with: sudo cp lib20_foo_plugin.so /usr/lib64/dovecot/ (I also have mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot in 10-mail.conf) I enable this plugin in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf with: protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins foo } But … nothing happens. No warnings, no errors, no crashes. How do I debug this? Am I missing something obvious? Does the naming of the plugin matter? S.

Misleading error message when case-insensitive file/dir names from config files clash with case-sensitive file system.
by Info Akra 30 Aug '14

30 Aug '14

Hi, Is it noted somewhere that Dovecot (v 2.0.9) doesn’t use case in directory names in its config-files? I found that out the hard way (i.e. a week of debugging)!! in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf, the line: unix_listener /var/spool/postOut/auth/dovecot-auth { creates a: Jul 29 22:15:58 server dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): unlink(/var/run/dovecot/) failed: Is a directory but unix_listener /var/spool/postout/auth/dovecot-auth { works just fine (with matching case changes on the directory names themselves). That’s on running on Ubuntu 12.04.4 TLS, standard installation from apt-get, in cooperation with Postfix 2.0.9. — Hugo

Dsync setup... help needed
by Sinergizmas Sin ergizmas 30 Aug '14

30 Aug '14

Hello, I tried to implement Dsync (doveadm version 2.2.10) following https://www.evilcoder.org/2014/08/22/automatic-replication-with-dovecot/ but had no luck. SSH commands working quite well, but I need to respond more quickly. So TCP looks promising. I have Centos 6, Dovecot 2.2.10. I did everything that is written there, but after I restart dovecot doesn't sync. Then i ran netstat command but no service listen to port 12345 also. Iptables service are of in testing scenario...

Migrating courier to dovecot
by Patrick Lion 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Hi, i want to migrate the following setup: postfix / courier-{imap/s,pop3/s,authlib} / maildrop / mysql I´m using the maildir format and quotas as well. My target is the following setup: postfix / dovecot / some sort of quota respecting lda / mysql What i`ve done already: SQL-Implementation for dovecot, login process and also sending mails via auth-userdb is already working. Quotas are read out from database and working. Before i mention my problems while implementing, here is the config im using at this time: # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.14.14-gentoo x86_64 Gentoo Base System release 2.2 auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no info_log_path = syslog login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m ip=%r mpid=%e mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:.maildir mail_plugins = quota namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = .maildir mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = INBOX. separator = . } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = %u quota_rule2 = trash:storage=+150M quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = mail mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mail mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/dovecot/server.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/dovecot/server.key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota } grep -v '^ *$#.*$\?$' dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=postfix user=postfix password=thereisone default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT password_query = \ SELECT username, password \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' user_query = \ SELECT concat('/', home, user, '/', destinationname) AS home, uid, gid, \ concat('*:storage=', round(quota / 1000 * 1.024)) AS quota_rule \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' Where user is the row where the admin-panel user is stored and username is the mbox-user. My problem is the LDA, with dovecot-lda im having the uid / gid trouble and i really dont want to suid oder sudo it. dovecot-lmtp just gives me status=deferred (host xx.xx[/var/run/dovecot/lmtp] said: 451 4.3.0 <box(a)xx.xx> Temporary internal error (in reply to end of DATA command)) Postfix virtual is working as well as maildrop, but no dovecot-implementation wants to, i also didnt find anything about the error above, except a bug in v2.2.2 and a google groups thread where users are just blaming each others for nothing .. I want to use a dovecot lda/lmtp because the quota settings for trash-folders are very nice and reducing my support times but im stuck at getting one of the dovecot-LDAs to work. Let me know if you need any additional information. Any help is greatly appreciated! -- Viele Grüße / Best regards Patrick

Multiple A Records for IMAP service
by Vijay Rajah 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Hello All, I have a quick question. I have 2 MX servers each with a Dovecot Instances (2.2.6). These 2 Dovecot Instances are replicated by using Dsync... All works well. The questions is, Can I have 2 A records for my imap.mydomain.tld? The Idea being, if for any reason, one of the Dovecot IMAP instances are unreachable, the client can connect to the other Instance. (this is purely a fail over scenario). If it matters, The clients are Thunderbird, Android Native (default) Mail client, iOS Mail Client. -Thanks in advance Vijay

Documentation for /usr/lib/dovecot/imap executable
by Christoph Groth 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Dear Dovecot experts, I'm in the process of setting up dovecot with mbsync as a local cache for remote IMAP servers. One recipe that I found involves using the /usr/lib/dovecot/imap (This is with Debian's dovecot package). For example, in .mbsyncrc I have IMAPAccount cwg-wf-local RequireSSL no Tunnel "/usr/lib/dovecot/imap -o mail_location=maildir:/home/cwg/.mail/cwg-wf" This works, but I wonder: is there any documentation for the /usr/lib/dovecot/imap executable? What options does it take? If there's no documentation: where can I find this command in dovecot's sources? Thank you, Christoph

Postfix + dovecot setup
by Timothy Murphy 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

I'm trying to clarify the various ways in which I could set up Postfix + Dovecot + SpamAssassin under CentOS-7, and I'd welcome any comments on the following remarks. As far as I can see there are 3 standard ways of setting this up: 1. Use amavisd 2. Use dovecot + pigeonhole/sieve 3. Use spamass-milter At present I'm following (2), but am thinking of going over to (1), since this seems simpler. (Amavisd wasn't available when I set up CentOS-7, so I didn't consider it then.) It seems to me that (2) is using dovecot in a slightly odd way, since as far as I can see dovecot normally takes email from ~/Maildir/cur/ and then moves marked spam. I'm not quite sure if (3) is a genuine alternative, or if it is why it is not the standard? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

POP/IMAP HA solution for 5k users
by Sinergizmas Sin ergizmas 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

Hello, I want to build simple, cheap HA solution for 5000 users with postfix/dovecot. Each user will have 1.3 GB mailbox (maildir) storage quota. All of the users will use POP and also plus half of them will use IMAP from smart phones. Sometimes they will hit webmail (squirrelmail). I plan that every user will send 20 and receive 20 mails per day. I have 3 locations, but electricity are not very stable there. We have outages for couple of hours 3-4 times per year. So I plan distribute all servers (it's more like good PC's) across locations. I'm very tied on budget also. Or maybe I could say I don't have it and I'm forced to use hardware equipment which is given. We are talking about quite pour HA solution here. Don't judge me please. I start to plan architecture and I would be very thankful for all your thoughts. I'm not expert in this area, but I need to learn, fire up email system and manage it. I will have SMTP server (smtp.example.com) which will filter mail with Clam, Spamassasin, Greylisting and forward emails to IMAP/ POP3/webmail server (mail.example.com) Mail.example.com will sync all user and mail changes to the third server mail2.example.com. Mail2.example.com server is just stand by, hot backup server in cases if main mail server or smtp will not be reachable. Locations of servers are in different cities: Locations #1 - SMTP servers as virtual machines (vmware server or virtualbox), with CPU i3, 6GB RAM, SSD, Centos 6, Virtualmin Location #2 - Dovecot/webmail server: CPU i5, 16GB RAM, HDD 1SSD for OS/dovecot indexes and SATA 2TBx4 LVM (total 8TB) for Maildir's, Centos 6, Virtualmin Location #3 HOT BACKUP (always online) server in case of mail.example.com or smtp.example.com failure, electricity outage and etc. It contains Dovecot/webmail server: CPU i3, 8GB RAM, HDD 1SSD for OS/dovecot indexes and SATA 2x4TB LVM (total 8TB), Centos 6, Virtualmin DNS configuration (and location number): IN MX 10 smpt.example.com. (#1) IN MX 20 mail.example.com. (#2) IN MX 30 mail2.example.com. (#3) .... smtp IN A aa.aa.aa.aa mail IN A bb.bb.bb.bb mail2 IN A cc.cc.cc.cc So I need to solve SMTP, POP, IMAP high availability tasks. SMTP I think will be ok for external users. SMTP feature has all three servers. If smtp.example.com server is offline mail is sent to mail.example.com If mail.example.com is offline, then mail is sent to mail2.example.com If mail2.example.com is offline, the senders SMTP server will hold an email in a queue by default for 3 days (in most cases) and will try to deliver in some intervals. Local (users of domain example.com) SMTP/POP/IMAP users will have problems, because their domain server will be dead. This means that connections from user MTA agents (outlook POP) could not be delivered because DNS A type record pointing to a degraded server. When problem with server mail.example.com (POP/IMAP/webmail) connectivity will happen, I think to login to DNS server and point record (A type) to a working server. So if server in location #2 mail.example.com is dead, I will change mail IN A bb.bb.bb.bb ----> cc.cc.cc.cc The same with the server smtp.example.com. If it's down, I will change mail IN A aa.aa.aa.aa ----> cc.cc.cc.cc I know that this method is not perfect because of ISP DNS caching around the globe, but this the only option I have. Most of my users use ISP that refresh DNS in a period of 30 minutes so it won't be very terrible to half of hour to wait for the connection. My questions: 1. Is this infrastructure is ok for 5000 users? If you think it's not, please write how many users it will serve "normally"? Or maybe I it could handle and 10 000 users load? 2. Is the logic of all setup is right in such situation like mine? What other problems could arise? 3. I prefer to create users from one server. So the LDAP option is the best for me? In case of LDAP it will be on server #2 and I need to replicate it to #3. Is it rigth? Then server #2 will be offline does #3 LDAP will take place? Or should I better use batch command to create user in each server per single command? Actually I do not want to manage and LDAP as extra service. I don't have experience with it. 4. The main problem is to synchronize maildir of POP/IMAP/webmail servers. Because of distance I do not want to use DRBD. It's not suitable for WAN connections. GlusterFS seems an option but.. I saw on internet users also having problems with it performance. Sometimes gluster hang and all cluster must be restarted. Maybe I can sync /home with gluster where maildir resides, but we need to take care of dovecot index and control files synchronization also. The performance of retrieving index'es by several thousands users every 2-5 minutes must be excellent. The only option I found is Dovecot Dsync (or newer Doveadm) command. I made initial tests on two servers, but only to get work with SSH command. The method using TCP connection doesn't work for me. So question, if I use SSH method in several thousand user system does it cause me trouble? SSH adds some overhead comparing to TCP. But could make a permament tunnel and TCP also would be quite secure. So please tell me what methods are you using to sync two mail servers (especially for POP accounts) in different locations? 5. File system. Is it ok to use EXT4 file system? I know that XFS is better in performance working with small files (maildir = a lot of small files), but in power outage it can become corrupted without journal. Thanks.

Hello, I upgraded Dovecot last night and have been receiving core-dumps any time I attempt to access a mailbox (via IMAP) ever since. Logging-in seems to work, but any attempt to access the mailbox contents (regardless of folder) causes a core-dump.

Moving from one Dovecot server to another Dovecot server
by Michael 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

Hi, I'm planning to move all mailboxes from a Dovecot 2.2.10 server to a Dovecot 2.2.9 server. Dovecot is serving virtual users only. I'm not sure if I can use dsync for that. According to the Wiki [1] the command to mirror my own mailbox should look like dsync -u mine(a)michi.su mirror ssh -i my_ssh_key vmail(a)my-mailserver.com dsync -u mine(a)michi.su Where vmail is the user that is used by Dovecot to access mail_location. I assume the above command will only mirror the mailbox of user mine(a)michi.su, right? Is it possible to sync all mailboxes with just one single command? Is it possible to sync also all ACL lists and sieve scripts? Is using dsync the right way for my purpose? Thanks, Michael [1] http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync

LMTP and passdb deny=yes not working
by Jogi Hofmüller 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi all, I start this on in a new thread. I setup the deny-user setting to temporarily prevent users from logging in and (that would be great) also stop mail delivery for said user. All this is because of our upcoming migration. Now it seems that lmtp is ignoring this setting. This is from the logfile: Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: lmtp(pid): Connect from IP Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: auth: passwd-file(fischer,IP): User found from deny passdb Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: lmtp(pid, fischer): 2UErAGzR9VMBPQAAGyzfLQ: sieve: msgid=unspecified: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: lmtp(pid): Disconnect from 172.16.16.205: Successful quit So lmtp seems to find the user and correctly states the fact but then stores the email anyhow. Is this intended or did I hit a bug? Or do I have an error in my config? Cheers, -- j.hofmüller mur.sat -- a space art project http://sat.mur.at/

Everything is working fine, but I have noticed that every time I connect with Thunderbird to my server via IMAP, not one but 4 connections are being logged into /var/log/mail/mail.log: 2014-08-27 09:17:46 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12519, TLS, session=<uyb/N5cB+gBUDFRB> 2014-08-27 09:17:53 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12521, TLS, session=<jioqN5cB/ABUDFRB> 2014-08-27 09:17:53 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12523, TLS, session=<pqwwN5cB/QBUDFRB> 2014-08-27 09:17:54 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12525, TLS, session=<cffremmc/gBUDFRB> This looks like 4 separate sessions are created when I log in from one client. Is this normal behavior? Can somebody please explain why this is so? My Dovecot version is 2.1.7 regards, Martin

LMTP during dsync migration
by Jogi Hofmüller 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi all, Another question regarding migration. While migrating a mailbox with dsync is it safe to deliver mail via LMTP to the new (target) mailbox or is it wiser to deactivate LMTP delivery to this mailbox until it's fully migrated? And what methods could I use to stop delivery to a mailbox during migration? Our user data is stored on an LDAP server. Cheers, -- j.hofmüller http://thesix.mur.at/

Special-Use Mailboxes ?
by Per Jessen 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Lots of people must have had this issue before me - users using different devices&software (pc, smartphone, tablet, thunderbird, outlook, webmail) and languages (e.g. English on the PC, German on the iPhone), some folders end of with different names - e.g. "Sent" and "Gesendete Elemente" - meaning the same thing, namely "sent mails". How do you map these to just one folder such that it shows up correctly independently of what the user happens to be using? It sounds like something for the mailbox "Sent" { special_use = \Drafts } config directive? Is that what it might be used for? mailbox "Sent" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Gesendete Elemente" { special_use = \Sent } -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland.

Object storage
by List 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Timo, We are contemplating building an S3 compatible cluster of storage servers using Pithos <https://github.com/exoscale/pithos> and Cassandra to get multi data center redundancy and availability. Would it be possible to have multiple Dovecot servers in disparate geographical locations all talking to the same object storage, assuming it's consistent between sites? From what I remember about obox the dovecot servers all keep a copy of the index locally and merge it with a file in the object storage at intervals, is this an issue with our concept? Also does your team have any performance analysis data on the obox plugin, or data on it's use in production?

OS X 10.6 Server - Dovecot Issue
by Ian Baker 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

I've just taken over support for an OS X Server (v10.6.8) box, and am a bit new at Postfix & Dovecot. We're having an problem where, intermittently, dovecot seems to be bouncing messages inbound for some of my existing users. Here is the mail.log entry for a successful delivery: Aug 21 16:58:45 mail postfix/pipe[64094]: D68783AE0F75: to=<sblondin(a)eem.ca>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.08, delays=0/0.01/0/0.07, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) And here is what a bounce looks like Aug 22 07:29:28 mail postfix/local[93916]: error: od[getpwnam_ext]: No record for user sblondin Aug 22 07:29:28 mail postfix/pipe[93944]: 852C43AE7ACC: to=<sblondin(a)eem.ca>, relay=dovecot, delay=15, delays=0.14/0.05/0/15, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (user unknown) And a bit later another succcessful delivery.

dict SQL : HA / RR load-balancing ?
by Florent Bautista 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Hi everyone, I am using Dovecot 2.2 with dict SQL. My config is using : connect = host=10.111.5.1X host=10.111.5.1Y host=10.111.5.1Z dbname=mail user=quota_updater password=xxxxxxxx But when an SQL server is down, I have these messages in logs : dict: Error: mysql(10.111.5.1Y): Connect failed to database (mail): Can't connect to MySQL server on '10.111.5.1Y' (111) - waiting for 125 seconds before retry Does Dovecot support HA / RR load-balancing in dict SQL, as in passdb/userdb ? Thank you.

does dovecot assume ~ = /home/userid ?
by Per Jessen 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

See $SUBJ - or is there a setting somewhere to control this? I have a userid = user(a)example.com with homedir (from /etc/shadow) = /home/example.com/user, but when dovecot wants to find e.g. ~/.dovecot.sieve , it looks in /home/user(a)example.com .... Doing "su - user(a)example.com" puts me in the correct directory. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland.

Dovecot authentication LDAP SSL-TLS againts SAMBA4
by Lista de Dovecot 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

Hi, i would like to know if anybody have implemented the authentication of dovecot against samba4 via secure ldap (SSL/TLS). I made it but in plain text through dovecot´s offical page: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/AuthBinds http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP But when i try to do it in a secure way i can´t make it work. Samba4 is listening by port 636 and dovecot is speaking by 389 or 636, but they can´t comunicate themself. I´m wondering if any of you have done this before or have any clue that might help me. Thanks.

Avoid "451 4.4.0 Remote server not answering (timeout while waiting for reply to DATA reply)"
by Florent Bautista 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

Hi all, I have a Dovecot setup (2.1, I will switch to 2.2 soon) with one Director and 2 backend servers. When my MX server (Postfix) tries to deliver mail to Dovecot via LMTP, it often gets an error "451 4.4.0 Remote server not answering (timeout while waiting for reply to DATA reply)" from the Director. Service LMTP is configured with "client_limit = 1" on Director en backends (others limits are default ones). Postfix is using "lmtp_destination_recipient_limit = 1" and "lmtp_destination_concurrency_limit = 1". I want that incoming messages are stored one after one per recipient (have a queue per recipient). I does not seem to be done actually. I think Postfix is sending too many messages at a time to Director. How do you do to handle that ? I already applied the 3 patches available on the list for 2.1, but it does not seem to solve my problem... Thank you a lot. Florent

Folders don't show up

Hello, I've upgraded to the new LTS version of Ubuntu. With that comes a new dovecot version. I think I've migrated my dovecot configuration correctly to the new version. Everything works, except that the mailboxes don't show up in the list of mailboxes in my mail clients. Trying to issue a LIST command, I see the following: CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot (Ubuntu) ready. 1 login USERNAME_HERE PASSWORD_HERE 1 OK [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 SPECIAL-USE BINARY MOVE] Logged in 2 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) " * LIST (\HasNoChildren) " [SNIP...

I'm not an IMAP protocol expert, but those answers to the list command don't quite look like valid IMAP to me. My imapdir has a bunch of maildir directories in it, like a normal imapdir should. Everything worked fine with the previous version of dovecot (1.2?). Maybe a dovecot bug? At least I don't see how my config could cause this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thunderbird not able to edit sieve Message Filters
by Peter Bell 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

I'm not sure when this problem first occurred - it is many months since I last editted a sieve filter. I am certainly several versions of Thunderbird and, probably, a few versions of Dovecot on from when I last editted a sieve filter. However, I do know that I have done so in the past. I have just built Dovecot 2.2.13 and Pigeonhole 0.4.3, installed and running on Slackware 14.1 x64. I am running an up-to-date version of Thunderbird (31.0) on Arch Linux x64. The sieve filters are definitely being applied to incoming mail, and working perfectly well. However, when I attempt to edit the Sieve Filters (from Thunderbird Tools->Sieve Message Filters...), the Sieve Filters tab is displayed, but not populated (eg, the Server Sieve Capabilities are not displayed, and there is an endless 'hourglass' displayed in the main mailfilters pane. Does anyone recognise the symptoms and can advise how to resolve the problem, or suggest what logs I should examine/post in order to identify the cause? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Bell Mob: +63 (0) 9287 340 343 Tagum City, Philippines.

Assertion in istream.c::167 in POP3 mode when maildir content has wrong S value (using 2.2.13)
by Rolf Eike Beer 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

Hi, the affected machine is running 2.2.13 on Gentoo x86_64. For me it looks like the old size is still in some struct or whereever even after the file has been renamed. I see that there are many commits following 2.2.13, is that possibly already fixed or do I need to dig in the code? The original problem seems to be that maildrop uses the file size before piping the mail into spamassassin even if the mail is bigger afterwards. Not relevant here, but in case anyone wonders how this happens. Greetings, Eike Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (81118 < 81308) Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /var/vpopmail/domains/example.org/user/.maildir/cur/1408452738.16341.mail,S=81118:2, to /var/vpopmail/domains/example.org/user/.maildir/cur/1408452738.16341.mail,S=81308:2, Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/vpopmail/domains/example.org/user/.maildir/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 65 Panic: file istream.c: line 167 (i_stream_read): assertion failed: (old_size <= _stream->pos - _stream->skip) Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x6bbef) [0x7f50652a4bef] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x6bc4e) [0x7f50652a4c4e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f506525e2be] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x214) [0x7f50652ad904] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read_data+0x3d) [0x7f50652adfed] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(message_get_body_size+0x9d) [0x7f5065299b3d] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_mail_init_stream+0x200) [0x7f506556f700] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x2dd0f) [0x7f506553cd0f] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_get_stream+0x4b) [0x7f506554915b] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x2dae7) [0x7f506553cae7] -> dovecot/pop3(client_create+0x56d) [0x40622d] -> dovecot/pop3() [0x404ea3] -> dovecot/pop3() [0x40508f] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x28346) [0x7f5065261346] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x28841) [0x7f5065261841] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x4e) [0x7f50652b58de] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xd7) [0x7f50652b68b7] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x9) [0x7f50652b5969] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f50652b59e8] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f50652635a3] -> dovecot/pop3(main+0x233) [0x404bf3] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f5064eb6db5] -> dovecot/pop3() [0x404d49]

About network throughput between Director and backends
by Listas＠Adminlinux 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

I plan to migrate my Dovecot IMAP servers to a clustered structure. I'm planning a cluster with high availability and load balancing. I know I need instances of Dovecot Proxy / Director. But these instances can be on another network? There is need for high network throughput between the Director and the backends? For me it would be cheaper to run Director in VM's at Amazon AWS for example. Thanks! -- Thiago Henrique

by Claus 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

Hi, i have configured my dovecot-proxy with "shutdown_clients = no" and "service_count = 1" for a "default_process_limit = 5000" and "default_client_limit = 25000". I don't know if this is a prefered setup for so many users/concurrent sessions but so i can reload my dovecot without disconnecting all sessions. The main problem are pop3 sessions - if i kill them, the mailbox remains locked and the client gets an error. Back to my problem: If i reload dovecot the "doveadm proxy list" shows me the list of the new processes. Is there any possibility to see the stats of the old sessions (user,source,destination) ? greet's Claus PS.: Could someone explain me why i have to set default_client_limit to 5x default_process_limit?

rebuilding indexes for dovecot pop3
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 21 Aug '14

Hi. doveadm -D fetch -u login \ 'imap.envelope imap.bodystructure size.virtual date.received' '*' according to mail archives allows to regenerate indexes and precache specified headers for imap usage. What headers are needed for dovecot pop3 daemon? I have one server where dovecot works for imap only. For pop3 there is different software being used. I want to migrate to dovecot pop3 but I need to precache and regenerate indexes for dovecot pop3. Note, some users used pop3 only, so dovecot imap had no chance to generate any indexes. Thanks, -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / maven.pl

Re: Frequent error: unknown namespace Trash

Hi Gedalya, I am very sorry for not having replied on-list. That was not my intention! I am not used to this behaviour of mailing lists, normally there is a reply-to field which points to the mailing list mail address. So do I have to use MAILBOX.Trash in 90-quota.conf ?? Or INBOX.Trash ?

Fatal: lazy_expunge: Unknown namespace: '.EXPUNGED/'

Hello List, with dovecot version 2.2.13.9, I actually have a problem using lazy_expunge and acl together. Shared/Public Folders work fine with lazy_expunge disabled. If lazy_expunge is enabled and userA got a shared folder form userB, then there is the error shown in subject. My test case to reproduce the error. doveadm mailbox list -u userA@domain --> Output Fine. doveadm acl set -u userB@domain INBOX user=userA@domain lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert expunge create --> Fine. doveadm mailbox list -u userA@domain --> Some output and then: --> doveadm(userA@domain): Fatal: lazy_expunge: Unknown namespace: '.EXPUNGED/' I think this is a bug in dovecot, can someone of the dovecot developers or someone else confirm this? If it is not please show me the fault in my configuration. In May 2014 there was a thread with the same issue on this mailing list, but with no solution. http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2014-May/096355.html Best regards Philipp Fäustlin --------------------------------------------- # 2.2.13.9 (19befd72d9d8): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 Scientific Linux release 6.5 (Carbon) auth_debug = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb auth_username_format = %Ln auth_verbose = yes listen = * mail_debug = yes mail_gid = vmail mail_location = maildir:~/maildir mail_plugins = " acl lazy_expunge mail_log notify zlib notify replication" mail_shared_explicit_inbox = yes mail_uid = vmail managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave duplicate namespace { hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:%%h/maildir:INDEX=%h/Shared/%%u:CONTROL=%h/Shared/%%u prefix = Shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace { location = maildir:/vmail/%d/public:INDEXPVT=~/index/%d/public prefix = Groups/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = maildir:~/expunged prefix = .EXPUNGED/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = private } namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/global-acls acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ lazy_expunge_only_last_instance = yes mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size mail_replica = tcps:mailhost1.rz.uni-hohenheim.de:12345 sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 6 } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve replication_dsync_parameters = -d -l 30 -U service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0666 user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0666 user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12345 ssl = yes } } service imap-login { process_min_avail = 16 service_count = 0 } service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login /usr/local/bin/postlogin.sh user = $default_internal_user } service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin process_limit = 8192 } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/lmtp-dovecot { group = postfix user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service pop3-login { process_min_avail = 16 service_count = 0 } service pop3 { process_limit = 8192 } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { group = vmail mode = 0660 } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_client_ca_file = /etc/openldap/cacerts/chain.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " acl lazy_expunge mail_log notify zlib notify replication sieve" } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " acl lazy_expunge mail_log notify zlib notify replication imap_acl imap_zlib" }
