[Dovecot] How to have a "public" readonly folder?
by Villalovos, John L 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

I searched the website and the mailing list and had difficulty finding an answer. I have my email users who are using dovecot-1.0.beta2. I also have setup a dummy account to get the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) traffic. I would like to have it so that my IMAP users (maybe POP3 but don't need that) be able to read the LKML mailing list from that email account. I can put the email into an mbox or a maildir for the LKML mail. I have played around with the namespace and public option and I can't get it to work :( I tried this: namespace public { separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/home/virtemail/lkml/ } In my email client (Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5), I am unable to view the Public folder. If I select subscribe, I can see the Public folder but it is grayed out. Any ideas? Thanks, John

[Dovecot] Compilation problems (1.0-beta2)
by Jeff Dubin 07 Feb '06

Hi Folks, I'm running a minimal, textmode only install of FC4, and I'm trying to compile and install Dovecot 1.0-beta2.

So, I thought it's ssl related. I've compiled openssl (0.9.8a) from source as well (installed in default /usr/local/ssl), and set LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib and CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ssl/include, but no help. Here's what I'm doing: ./configure --without-pop3d --without-vpopmail --without-ipv6 --with-ssl=openssl make I've even tried to compile without ssl, but I still get that same error. What am I missing here? Perhaps I'm just making a typo somewhere, but I'm totally stumped. Thanks! Jeff

[Dovecot] Re: MySQL client out of memory error
by Roger Weeks 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Alexander - We had this exact same issue with MySQL authentication. We resolved it by changing this entry in the auth section of the dovecot.conf: # Number of authentication processes to create #count = 1 We set count=20, and then through testing lowered it to count=10. This starts 10 auth-worker processes and to this point we have not had problems with the out of memory condition. -- Roger J.

[Dovecot] Mixed IMAP/POP3 environment: further informations
by Denis Sbragion 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hello All, some further information. While waiting for some info I'm rolling back to UW and I discovered that if I delete the user "~/Maildir" automatically created by Dovecot, so including any index, the POP3 server works as expected. So it isn't the "Status" flag stored in the mbox file that prevents the download but some status information stored in the IMAP indexes created by Dovecot. I've retried this a couple of times to be sure. Does this helps? Bye, -- Denis Sbragion InfoTecna Tel: +39 0362 805396, Fax: +39 0362 805404 URL: http://www.infotecna.it

[Dovecot] Dovecot index issues (Solaris/Thunderbird)
by Mario Nigrovic-rvvk40 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Folks - My setup is that my mail is filed (by procmail) in ~/.mail/Maildir, an NFS filesystem. But I'm running Dovecot (1.0alpha5) on my local machine (as myself on port 2143), just to serve this mail to my browser (Thunderbird 1.0.2). The NFS data is on a netapp which seems to be creating .nfs files LIKE CRAZY. I expect these are the remnants of lock files, so I'm trying to move my indexes onto local disk. To that end, I've created /var/tmp/mario/dovecot and put the following into my dovecot.conf: default_mail_env = maildir:%h/.mail/Maildir:INDEX=/var/tmp/mario/dovecot Dovecot happily makes index files, but then fails to serve some of my subscribed folders! Thunderbird is less than helpful in telling me what's going wrong, but dtmail shows that dovecot is reporting "out of sync" and a couple other errors (UID out of sequence), then closing the connection (for those folders). This may happen only after Thunderbird has tried to open the folder that I see these errors with dtmail: Dovecot ready. [UNSEEN 227] First unseen. [UIDNEXT 341] Predicted next UID IMAP connection broken (server response) No-op dead stream [CLOSED] No-op dead stream I've turned mmap off and set locking to fcntl. As a last resort, I've turned indexes off default_mail_env = maildir:%h/.mail/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY but this makes thunderbird reload all headers every time I open a folder, which takes a very long time. Any suggestions? How do I debug this further? Mario

[Dovecot] passwd-userdb with args
by Thomas Wouters 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

I'm not sure why the 'passwd' userdb didn't allow args, but it meant (for instance) that the quota plugins weren't usable. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get my new quota-rquotad plugin to work, only to find out that it was my 'quota=rquotad:<filesystem list>' argument that wasn't being passed to the imap child :) The attached patch implements arguments for the 'passwd' userdb, just like it exists for the 'static' userdb (in fact, mostly copy-pasted from 'static'.) It doesn't try to avoid clashing with the values found in the passwd-struct, but I suspect it ends up overwriting them. That could probably be a feature ;) I don't use the passwd-file userdb, but that one would probably also enjoy being argified. -- Thomas Wouters <thomas(a)xs4all.net> Hi!

[Dovecot] dovecot rpms, .subscriptions file, mbox to maildir
by Saurabh Barve 07 Feb '06

07 Feb '06

Hi, I am running dovecot 0.99-14 on a Fedora Core 2 machine. I had a few questions: 1) I wanted to upgrade to the dovecot-1.0 release. However, I am not sure if that's really required. dovecot-0.99-14 has been running very well for me for quite some time. Is there a real advantage to switching to the latest release. The reason I'm asking this is because: i) I don't have too many users to server - around 15 only. ii) My mail server is a pretty fast machine (~1 GHz, 1 GB RAM) machine, so hardware isn't too much of an issue. iii) I like to install software from rpm's. It's not that I can't install from source, but installing from rpm's makes it much easier for me. Just a personal preference. The version of dovecot that I am running was obtained from Dag Wieers web site. I haven't seen a newer version there. I've googled for rpm's for newer versions, and they are available, but I don't want to install it from some third party source that I don't know/trust. iv) I am also planning to support web mail for my users (probably through Squirrelmail). Are there any advantages/disadvantages to upgrading dovecot for that? v) People use Mozilla Mail, Mail.app, Thunderbird, Outlook, and Opera. Does the 1.0 version provide better integration with different mail clients (even though I understand that sometimes it's a problem with the client implementation). So, are there newer version of dovecot (1.0-stable) available in rpm formats which are guaranteed to be safe and un-trojaned? And is there any really good reason why I should upgrade to 1.0-stable? 2) My second question is about creating the .subscriptions (or subscriptions in 1.0) file. When I moved people over from using pine to using a mail client like Evolution/Thunderbird, I had to create .subscriptions/.mailboxlist file for them so that they could see the folders that they had created in pine. However, people still sometimes access e-mail using pine. They then create new folders in pine, which they are unable to see in their mail client. Is there a way around it? This occurs especially when people check their mail at the start of the month, and pine asks about saving/deleting old sent-mail folders, Trash folders. Is there a way to add these folders automagically to the .subscriptions file? 3) Would I be able to support web mail using mailboxes in mbox format, as I have them now? Or do I have to go for Maildir format? Since our university introduced web mail, they have had two sets of folders - one with capitalization (Sent, Deleted Messages, etc.) and one without (sent-mail, etc. - these were from our pine days). Is this due to web mail? Also, if I do need to convert from mbox to Maildir, what is the standard tool for doing that? I saw at least three different tools/scripts for doing that (mbox2maildir,mb2d,mb2md-2,mb2md.pl, .. ). Which tool (and from where) should I use to convert mailboxes without problems? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Saurabh. ----- sa(a)atmos.colostate.edu

There was a patch posted to fix dotfile folder names in this mail: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2005-July/008127.html I have a web mail client (which stores preferences in a dot-file/folder through IMAP) and pine users (address book is a dot-folder in IMAP) that this affects. I can certainly hand-apply the patch, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable if this had some future in the real source. -- Anthony Kay University Computing Center (541) 346-1719 GPG Fingerprint: B0DB D46A 60AF FAE7 A94A 5075 0CB4 4D88 9F4F 7F09 I have earned my disillusionment.

[Dovecot] Newbie question

Hi, Finally I managed to build (as ordinary user in my home dir) 1.0b2. (remember, I had problems with db-ldap.h disappeared after compile) What is the (simplest and) safest way to shut down dovecot on the live server and replace the running 0.99.14? I run OpenBSD 3.7 on Sparc. The last step would be 'make install', of course. To shutdown dovecot the last time I resorted to kill processes but I felt I had missed something... the install page (http://wiki.dovecot.org/BasicInstall) says to kill it, it feels a little crude; no nicer signals to send?

[Dovecot] Panic: key not found from hash

[Dovecot] Mixed IMAP/POP3 environment and message status flags
by Denis Sbragion 06 Feb '06

06 Feb '06

Hello All, I'm trying to migrate from UW Imap to Dovecot (latest 1.0 beta 2). The target is to go from the actual environment (Eudora + POP3) to a web based IMAP environment (IMAP + SquirrelMail). While migrating we will need to keep both environments for some time, with users having both the ability to use Eudora through POP3 while in the office and also the ability to check e-mail using the web based interface from time to time when they are out of office. Everything seems to work pretty well except for one little quirk. Whenever new mail messages are checked on-line through IMAP they are marked with "Status: O" or "Status: RO" in the main INBOX file (which is kept in the old mbox format now, and is one of the many reasons for the Dovecort choice). This is correct following the RFC standards but after that the POP3 server seems to completely ignore any message marked as "O" or "RO", making it impossible to download previously seen/read messages through Eudora. I've checked any available Eudora and Dovecot setting, including the pop3_no_flag_updates flag, but so far nothing worked. Looking at mailing list archives it looks like this behaviour is intentional and has been introduced to work around some problems with Eudora when the "Leave mail on server" option is enabled. Nevertheless it seems there's still something wrong. UW Imap seems to get this right, it lets Eudora download the already read message, which are correctly downloaded already marked as read. I haven't been able to identify the source of the problem, i.e. if it is either an Eudora problem which UW circumvent in some way or a real Dovecot problem. I'd really like to move to Dovecot, which provides many feature which are really useful for our situation, expecially maildir folders, which are fast and much more "differential backup" friendly than single file mailboxes. Unfortunately this IMAP/POP3 interaction problem would be a major showstopper because it will prevent a smooth migration from the old environment to the new one. Any hint about this issue? Anybody faced a similar problem so far? Thanks in advance for any help, and my compliments for the excellent job performed so far. Dovecot seems to be the right tool to fill the gap between the simpler UW and the Cyrus monster. Keep on going! :) Bye, -- Denis Sbragion InfoTecna Tel: +39 0362 805396, Fax: +39 0362 805404 URL: http://www.infotecna.it

[Dovecot] vpopmail authentification broken in dovecot 1.0beta
by daniel petre 05 Feb '06

hello, i got * net-mail/dovecot Latest version available: 1.0_beta2 Latest version installed: 1.0_beta2 Size of files: 1,309 kB Homepage: http://dovecot.org/ Description: An IMAP and POP3 server written with security primarily in mind License: LGPL-2.1 and since dovecot-0.99.14-r1 authentification doesnt work no more. i posted something similar with dovecot-1.0_alpha5 but all the answers i got were like "it isnt dovecot's fault, its vpopmails". bummer, my vpopmail did not changed , but dovecot versions yes. so i think dovecot is broken with vpopmail auth. i edited dovecot.conf and enabled all the parts related to vpopmail correctly like in old dovecot.conf here's what i receive in the log: dovecot: Jan 31 14:51:28 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 lip=81.18.x.x rip=81.18.x.x resp= dovecot: Jan 31 14:51:28 Info: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 dovecot: Jan 31 14:51:28 Info: auth(default): client in: CONT 1 AGRhbmlAbGlgudXhzb2x1fdGlvbnMucmh8AcG9jcG9j dovecot: Jan 31 14:51:28 Error: auth(default): vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away dovecot: Jan 31 14:51:28 Info: auth(default): vpopmail(dani(a)domain.ro,81.18.x.x): unknown user dovecot: Jan 31 14:51:29 Info: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=dani(a)domain.ro dovecot: Jan 31 14:51:29 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 2 PLAIN service=POP3 lip=81.18.x.x rip=81.18.x.x resp=AGRhbmlAbGlgudXhzb2x1fdGlvbnMucmh8AcG9jcG9j dovecot: Jan 31 14:51:29 Error: auth(default): vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away dovecot: Jan 31 14:51:29 Info: auth(default): vpopmail(dani(a)domain.ro,81.18.x.x): unknown user dovecot: Jan 31 14:51:31 Info: auth(default): client out: FAIL 2 user=dani(a)domain.ro i tried compiling dovecot with and without mysql support and the log is the same. vpopmail support is compiled in. so i use only vpopmail auth, no passdb, no mysql, no ssl. anyone can help with this error? coz dovecot seems such a nice imap/pop3 daemon but so much broken since last 0.9 version which is a shame.. thank you. -- Daniel Petre System Administrator Tech Support Coordinator .............................................................................

[Dovecot] default_mail_env auto-detect woes for maildir users
by David Friedlander 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

Hello-- I am a fairly new dovecot user and have run into a problem. I am running dovecot 1.0alpha5 (built from source) on a Fedora Core 1 machine. The system has about 400 users with over 80 IMAP users, and we have just transitioned from UW-IMAP. Thus all users are currently still mbox users. I would like to transition them to maildir users (this was the main point for me switching servers), and I chose dovecot because it could simultaneously support both formats. My dovecot.conf uses auto_detect (no default_mail_env defined, by choice). Auto-detect is working fine for mbox users, as shown by this (edited) log snippet: dovecot: imap(janeuser): maildir: couldn't find root dir dovecot: imap(janeuser): mbox: root exists (/Home/janeuser/mail) dovecot: imap(janeuser): mbox: INBOX exists (/var/mail/janeuser) dovecot: imap(janeuser): mbox: root=/Home/janeuser/mail, index=/Home/janeuser/mail, inbox=/var/mail/janeuser However, for another user who already has ~/Maildir and a proper maildir-format spool location ( /var/mail/joeuser/{cur|new|tmp} ) the log shows: dovecot: imap(joeuser): maildir: root exists (/Home/joeuser/Maildir) dovecot: imap(joeuser): maildir: root=/Home/joeuser/Maildir, index=/Home/joeuser/Maildir, control=, inbox= (Mail clients show no messages, but one can see them from the UNIX shell and with mutt on the server.) If I set default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u then everything works fine for 'joeuser'. However, I need auto-detect during this transition phase. My questions, please: * How do I get INBOX ("inbox=") to be properly defined/detected? * Must I do this with namespaces, and how does that affect the fact that there will be a transition period where some users use mbox and others use maildir? * Other advice? I have been unable to track this down so far, between reading the Dovecot documentation and Googling the dovecot mailing list archives. Thanks in advance, David

[Dovecot] Support for Kmail maildir format
by Graham Cobb 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

Has anyone looked into providing support in dovecot for Kmail folders? I would like to make my Kmail folders (on my main desktop system) available to my other systems (including over a VPN when I am travelling). Kmail is my main mail program and I have a lot of mail in a lot of folders, so I don't want to set up a separate IMAP service and move all the mail and folders. Kmail's use of maildir seems to folow the basic maildir approach except that sub-folders are handled differently. If you create a folder (say it is called ABC) in Kmail and start putting mail in it, Kmail creates a directory on the disk called ABC (not .ABC) and creates the cur, new and tmp folders within it to contain the email. If you then create a subfolder of ABC (say it is called DEF, contained within the ABC folder), Kmail creates a directory on the disk called .ABC.directory and creates the DEF directory within that. In other words, maildir directories are given the same name as the mail folder (with no leading dot) but sub-folders are contained in disk directories called .<folder-name>.directory. I have taken a quick look at the dovecot code and am fairly sure this could be handled by a variant on the existing maildir code (e.g. by changes to maildir_fill_readdir and other routines). Has anyone tried this? Graham

[Dovecot] rquotad (NFS) quota plugin
by Thomas Wouters 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

The attached patch is an updated version of my quota-rquotad patch for the quota plugin. Like quota-fs, it only does quota reporting, not enforcing or changing. It also only works on FreeBSD, and possibly other *BSD's. It lacks any and all configure-time tests to see if RPC is even supported, and hardcodes the (Free)BSD way of getting at the NFS server of an NFS mount. I'm mostly mailing it around to avoid duplicate work, in case anyone is looking for it. I do intend to generalize the plugin-patch, and add proper configure checks, I just haven't gotten around to testing it on other BSD systems. Linux support would be nice, but getting at the NFS server of an NFS mount is apparently quite a hassle, as it means reading /etc/mtab or /proc/self/mounts. Yuck. -- Thomas Wouters <thomas(a)xs4all.net> Hi! I'm a .signature virus! copy me into your .signature file to help me spread!

[Dovecot] mbox to maildir conversion on a user-by-user basis!
by Tony Kay 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

In the midst of evaluating Dovecot for use in solving some mbox locking issues (while also waiting for our eventual migration to maildir), I had an epiphany. It looks like Dovecot's auto-detection of mail formats would allow us to migrate from mbox to maildir on a user-by-user basis! I was thinking: 1. Let dovecot autodetect mail storage 2. Use some procmail trickery to detect which format to deliver into (I am researching how to do the detection on a user-by-user basis) 3. Manually convert users as you want by: - Temporarily disable mail delivery for that user (at least make it look like the inbox is locked) - Run conversion on mbox files -> maildir format - Put in the procmail hack for them - Re-enable delivery Way cool. I am still working out the details, but I was wondering if anyone sees a problem with this??? -- Anthony Kay University Computing Center (541) 346-1719 GPG Fingerprint: B0DB D46A 60AF FAE7 A94A 5075 0CB4 4D88 9F4F 7F09 Sanity is a cozy lie.

[Dovecot] not creating homedirs when using maildir format
by Ben Halicki 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi all, I'm in the process of setting up dovecot, but for some reason, it's not creating home directories if they don't already exist. I have the following line in dovecot.conf: default_mail_env = maildir:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u I have set permissions on /home to allow everyone full access, so creating directories in /home by dovecot non-root processes shouldn't be a problem. If I instruct dovecot to use mbox format, directories are created without a problem. The problem only seems to exist with maildir. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Never done this, ISTR there is a PAM module that is supposed to do this (create the directory). It would require you to use PAM, obviously. -- Matthias Andree Thanks for the reply Matthias. Only problem with PAM and pam_mkhomedir, is that Dovecot doesn't seem to open a session, so pam isn't called and pam_mkhomedir doesn't get the chanceto create a home directory.

I could _not_ make dovecot misbehave on NFS w/two physical servers accessing the same mailbox.

UW uses a "kiss of death" signal for collaborative locking...the mtime changes are all assumed to be appends as far as I know. The problem (which I can reproduce) comes with a situation like this: - IMAP host A and B access INBOX for the same user from different physical servers which share the inbox via NFS - Neither sees the other (because UW imap assumes lingering opens come from c-client apps, and it uses signals/flock/tmp to sync them, which are not available when A and B are on separate hosts). - Delete and expunge a message on B - 'A' can still read the expunged message. - Mark two messages for delete on A, including the one previously expunged by B - New message delivered to inbox (possibly by yet another host) - Expunge on A - New message is lost My theory is that the two IMAPs are both holding a fd open, and this causes one of the copies to become stale (in the sense it no longer has a filesystem name). The new mail is delivered to the non-stale box, and then the expunge on 'A' causes the stale open file to be "rewritten" over the top of the non-stale one. Result: mail loss. We also see things like message flags that magically reset themselves, etc. I did some testing w/dovecot 0.99 earlier in this same config, and it seems like it has some issues. For example a delete/expunge on IMAP A was "sort-of" seen by the B (fetch complained that the UIDs had changed, and would not work until a NOOP was done...this is technically OK), but B magically restored the deleted message with a new UID (which is not so good, since a client that caches stuff may now have a strange view of the world...I need to examine the set of "update" notices that went along with these events to better understand the implications). This also worries me because the "magic" reappearance indicates a copy from a stale fd, which could exhibit the same mail loss I produced w/UW IMAP. I am planning on updating to your latest source tree tomorrow (I am out of time today), and see if I can make it "lose" new mail. Opinions??? Thanks! Tony

[Dovecot] extremely slow delete/move operations?
by Gregory K. Ruiz-Ade 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

I've been working to migrate several hundered users on to our new mail servers, which run dovecot 0.99.11 (RHEL4). The problem I'm seeing is that deleting or moving a message seems to take a very long time. It's not uncommon for Thundirbird (1.0.7) to have delays of 5-10 seconds to delete a single message from my Inbox (<500k) and place it in my Trash folder (~100MB right now). The systems are Dell PowerEdge 1850 (dual 3.6GHz Xeon) with two 300GB SCSI drives in a hardware mirror. Filesystems are ext3 on LVM. Inboxes are on /var/spool/mail (/export/mail, symlinked into /var). User mail folders are in their home directories (/export/homes1/<user>, automounted to /home/<user>; some home directories are NFS automounted from a NetApp). Both the mail spool and home directories are available over NFS for compatibility reasons with the former setup. What's really bugging me is that I've used the same software (RHEL4 and dovecot 0.9x.x) at my last workplace, and the performance was outstanding; it beat UWIMAPd hands-down, especially with large mailboxes. Here, the opposite seems to be true. The primary difference seems to be that we're using NFS here, but I wasn't using NFS at my last job. I'm getting a lot of grief over the delays when users delete mail or move mail from their inbox to one of their mail folders. Enough so that they're now resisting moving to the new server. Where do I look to find out what's causing the slowness? What can I do to make it faster? Mailbox formats are mbox. Using these options in /etc/dovecot.conf: ----- protocols = imaps pop3s imap_listen = [::] pop3_listen = [::] ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/csefast.ucsd.edu_cert.pem ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/private/csefast.ucsd.edu_key.pem login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login = imap login = pop3 verbose_proctitle = yes first_valid_uid = 100 default_mail_env = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_full_filesystem_access = yes mbox_locks = dotlock fcntl auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root ----- Thanks in advance, Gregory -- Gregory K.

I.e. how would one dovecot IMAP on server A detect that dovecot on server B had rewritten something like flags on the mailbox they are both accessing? I'm sure it doesn't leave the dot lock sitting around, since that would block mail delivery. It just checks if mbox's mtime has changed. If it has, it checks if there are new mails or if it needs to do some other synchronization (mbox_dirty_syncs / mbox_very_dirty_syncs causes it to delay it as long as possible). UW-IMAP also checks if mtime has changed, but instead of trying to figure out what changed it just disconnects the client with an "unexpected mbox change" error.

[Dovecot] Immutable Maildir (or: "I know drag&drop")
by Michael Renner 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Hi, I'm 'constantly' (every odd month) faced with users happily dragging around or (un)subscribing folders in our shared IMAP account. Is there a "clean" way to prevent users from doing that when having a Maildir? Unix permissions probably won't cut the slack since setting any Maildir (sub)directory to readonly (immutable or chmod u-w ) will probably cause dovecot to hit a wall at high speed sooner or later (lock files, rotated cache/log files) Got any other ideas? best regards, Michael Renner

[Dovecot] Question about Dovecot and NFS
by Tony Kay 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Hi, We are using mbox and UW IMAP, and are having issues because UW IMAP does not support multiple client access when you use NFS for the mail files. I've done some research (see the comments after my 2 questions below), and most of the other major IMAP servers simply don't support it (courier is about the only one that has a positive comment). How much testing have you done w/NFS-mounted mail in mbox format? Have you found a reliable way to handle NFS mbox files? The UW IMAP docs say that multiple client access to mail spools that are NFS mounted is not safe, and the source has comments like this about NFS mail spools: /* Make fcntl() locking of NFS files be a no-op the way it is with flock() * on BSD. This is because the rpc.statd/rpc.lockd daemons don't work very * well and cause cluster-wide hangs if you exercise them at all. The * result of this is that you lose the ability to detect shared mail_open() * on NFS-mounted files. If you are wise, you'll use IMAP instead of NFS * for mail files. * * Sun alleges that it doesn't matter, because they say they have fixed all * the rpc.statd/rpc.lockd bugs. This is absolutely not true; huge amounts * of user and support time have been wasted in cluster-wide hangs. */ Cyrus' FAQ says this about NFS mail spools: (http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/imapd/install-FAQ.html#nfs) NFS (don't) Q: Weird things are happening. The mailspool is mounted over NFS, and... A: Don't mount the mail spool over NFS. Due to locking problems with NFS, this doesn't work (and for various other reasons, probably isn't worth the bother; IMAP appears to be I/O bound, not CPU bound, and scaling in this way is not a good idea). More specifically, if you use NFS and it looks to work, you may have locking problems in the future which will result in silently lost mail. If you use NFS and things go berzerk, it's because mmap(2) apparently has different semantics on local disk than it has on NFS. You can get the above behavior (silently lost mail) if you work at it. Courier is the only one that seems friendly (excerpt from their web site): Courier-IMAP is popular on Qmail/Exim/Postfix sites that are configured to use maildirs. The primary advantage of maildirs is that multiple applications can access the same Maildir simultaneously without requiring any kind of locking whatsoever. Maildir is a faster and more efficient way to store mail. It works particularly well over NFS, which has a long history of locking-related woes. -- Anthony Kay University Computing Center (541) 346-1719 GPG Fingerprint: B0DB D46A 60AF FAE7 A94A 5075 0CB4 4D88 9F4F 7F09 When they discover the center of the universe, a lot of people will be disappointed to discover they are not it.

[Dovecot] worth a few Euros?
by -- -- 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Yo Timo, did you say that login processes "just don't crash"? Found these while doing load/malformed data tests. Got the kernel patch allow_setid_cores working. Don't have time to check if they're exploitable. Probably time to get a gamma version out for people, eh? Cheers, Jared :) =========================================================================================== Note: Running dovecot-1.0.beta2 with simple (no funniness) config Note: Running on Intel (in VmWare) with RH9. Note: I'm using shadow authentication, but tried with PAM and it still dumped. Note: For this first core, I see the server responding with: "*OK Waiting for authentication process to respond.." Note: Not sure, but I think these problems are timing related. Be sure to check if a pointer is valid and that will get rid of most of these. Note: I have plenty of sample cores if you need one to fix. -Jared DeMott [root@server dovecot]# gdb ./dovecot-auth -c core.22753 GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (5.3post-0.20021129.18rh) Copyright 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[Dovecot] beta2: strange assert

I got the following assert yesterday: Jan 30 19:57:15 emerald dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] imap(user): file index-mail-headers.c: line 258 (index_mail_parse_header): assertion failed: (part != NULL) Jan 30 19:57:16 emerald dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] imap(user): file index-mail-headers.c: line 258 (index_mail_parse_header): assertion failed: (part != NULL) The gdb work on the core file is attached. This is a mystery because part was NULL in the core file. Weird. Jeff Earickson Colby College

[Dovecot] adding a select or a poll?
by ohp＠pyrenet.fr 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Since I put my hands on dovecot, I had this recuring problem at startup: Imap-login would'nt connect to the 'default' socket. I've been strugling with the fact that it would eventually connect on a slow or moderely fast machine but not on a really fast machine. According to Unixware doc, the FIRST connect ALWAYS returns -1 and errno=EINPROGRESS AFAICT, imap loop is like this: while (1) connect if no error bu EINPROGRESS send_handshake if successfull break; end while Now, I think the time between connect and send_handshake might be too short for async connect to finish in most case. I recognize is a Unixware probleme but I think this senario can happen on any system that CAN set errno to EINPROGRESS. I think the two possibilities are 1 - remove the setting of NONBLOCK before connecting to unix sock, but that would ruin the way dovecot is written. 2 - add a poll or a select before send_handshake to be sure the socket is writable. The third way would be to tell unixware users to disable async connects methink would be a pitta.

I don't understand this at all. Mounting anything via NFS should only be done from a remote server, where when you type "mount" at a commandline you see something like: 10.10.10.2:/data on /var/mail type nfs (rw,nfsvers=3,addr=10.10.10.2) If your /etc/fstab or your automounts on your RHEL4 box are mouting LOCAL disks as type NFS, you have set up something very very wrong. Local disks should be mounted at boot like so: /dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw) Let's be certain we're clear about this. The disks where dovecot reads and writes your mboxes are local to the RHEL4 machine? If so, you're not using NFS at all. Roger Weeks

[Dovecot] Dovecot-lda/deliver - how to deliver root's mail?
by Shayne Hardesty 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

There's a good chance I could be missing something obvious here, as I can't find much documentation on the LDA other than on the wiki, which is sparse. Local mail delivery works for normal users, but when attempting to deliver mail for root I get this error: Jan 30 13:42:50 apollo deliver: Running as root isn't permitted Both sendmail and dovecot run as root on my server - since I don't allow shell accounts and have multiple layers of security around the server I'm okay with that. How can I tell dovecot-lda it's okay to deliver root's mail as root? Thanks, Shayne

[Dovecot] poprelay, ip v4 vs ip v6 adresses
by Gerhard Hofmann 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hi list, I would like to use poprelay as described here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/PopRelay Excerpt from my /var/log/mail.log: dovecot: 2006-01-26 11:27:52 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<planat99>, method=plain, rip=192.168.1.202, lip=192.168.1.5 dovecot: 2006-01-26 13:10:10 Info: pop3-login: Login: user=<planat99>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.202, lip=192.168.1.5 (these are only two lines but wrapped by my news client) As you can see, the logged remote ip address is in normal ip v4 style, no "ffff" stuff here. The WIKI page says that ip addresses should be in v6-mapped style, how can I achieve this? Respectively, how must I change poprelay.conf to work with my current mail.log style? TIA Gerhard

Hi, I have setup dovecot to log all successful pop3 and imap logins into /var/log/mail.log I want to use pop-before-smtp to process the log file and write a .db file where sendmail can look up ip addresses that are allowd to relay. mail.log entries look like this: dovecot: 2006-01-26 17:22:28 Info: pop3-login: Login: user=<planat25>, method=PLAIN, rip=213.83.32.125, lip=192.168.1.98 So the question is: how should $pat variable look in pop-before-smtp.conf? I tried the patterns suggested in the WIKI and they do not work. I must admit I'm a newbie to this regex stuff. BTW, would it be easier to patch my dovecot daemon to use DRAC instead? TIA Gerhard

[Dovecot] Problem with folders, dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3 and Eudora 7.0.1
by Davide Bolcioni 30 Jan '06

Greetings, the Eudora client is attempting to create a subfolder of an existing folder, using the "Make it a folder option" which creates a directory under /home/<user>/mail/<a few paths>. Eudora is seemingly stuck in attempting to create the directory, but there is nothing under /var/log which seems useful in diagnosing the problem. Thank you for your consideration, Davide Bolcioni -- There is no place like /home.

Hi, I'm still struggling with dovecot and Unixware: On my main server, I have two problems: 1- imap-login has great difficulties to connect to 'default'. I have traced it to accept in auth_master_listener.c witch fails with errno=71 (EPROTO) weird... 2- It some times works and I can log-in but imap gets killed by signal 6 (abort?) See the logs: Jan 24 12:40:25 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.beta2 starting up Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Error sending handshake to auth server: Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Error sending handshake to auth server: Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Error sending handshake to auth server: Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Error sending handshake to auth server: Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Error sending handshake to auth server: Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Error sending handshake to auth server: Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Error sending handshake to auth server: Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Error sending handshake to auth server: Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Error sending handshake to auth server: Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Error sending handshake to auth server: Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Error sending handshake to auth server: Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 24 12:40:26 dovecot: imap-login: Sending log messages too fast, throttling..
