[Dovecot] new to dovecot
by John O'Loughlin 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

Hello all I'm new to dovecot (and imap in general!) having installed only only today. My current set up is exim as MTA with procmail delivering /var/spool/mail/%user (which gets nfs exported). We also have a pop3 server running as well. I'm moving to new machine and though I'd look at dovecot and squirrelmail. In /etc/dovecot.conf I'm confused by the default_mail_env, what exactly are we trying to set here? We have $MAIL set already, so for example what does the line: default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u try to set Cheers John

[Dovecot] Does anyone have SQL working in 1.03?

This just isn't working for me. I've tried everything. Trailing the logs with debug and vebose... we connect fine === Oct 15 22:51:35 rsrr1 dovecot: Killed with signal 15 Oct 15 22:51:37 rsrr1 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.alpha3 starting up Oct 15 22:51:38 rsrr1 dovecot: auth(default): pgsql: Connected to vmail === and then we die: === Oct 15 23:02:07 rsrr1 dovecot: auth(default): sql (username(a)domain.com,69.86.67.250) query: SELECT password FROM accounts WHERE local_part = 'username' AND domain = 'domain.com' AND active = 'Y' LIMIT 1; Oct 15 23:02:07 rsrr1 dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=username(a)domain.com Oct 15 23:02:07 rsrr1 dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 24 33278 1 Oct 15 23:02:07 rsrr1 dovecot: auth(default): passwd (username(a)domain.com,69.86.67.250) unknown user Oct 15 23:02:07 rsrr1 dovecot: auth(default): passdb (username(a)domain.com,69.86.67.250) passdb didn't return userdb entries Oct 15 23:02:07 rsrr1 dovecot: auth(default): userdb (username(a)domain.com,69.86.67.250) user not found from userdb Oct 15 23:02:07 rsrr1 dovecot: auth(default): master out: NOTFOUND 24 Oct 15 23:02:07 rsrr1 dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure: user=<username(a)domain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=69.86.67.250, lip=66.250.131.114, TLS === I've tried both of these selects on the password: password_query = SELECT local_part || '@' || domain as user, password FROM accounts WHERE local_part = '%n' AND domain = '%d' AND a ctive = 'Y' ; password_query = SELECT password FROM accounts WHERE local_part = '%n' AND domain = '%d' AND active = 'Y' LIMIT 1; and this, and some variants, on the user user_query = SELECT home_dir AS home, uid, gid FROM accounts WHERE local_part = '%n' AND domain = '%d' LIMIT 1; all mimic the functionality of the conf example files.

[Dovecot] Same email recieved
by Bob Hope 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Some of my users seem to be receiving the same e-mail over and over. This doesn't happen all the time, just once in a while it seems to get stuck in a loop. Is it possible that dovecot is the culprit here or is this a problem with something else? I'm running Postfix/amavisd/dovecot on Slackware 10.1. Regards, Savage

[Dovecot] 1.0a3: assert and core dump
by Jeff A. Earickson 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Timo, A rare assert and core dump out of 1.0alpha3. My setup: Solaris 9, mbox format, using imap only. Built dovecot with gcc 4.0.1. The syslog for this was: Oct 14 11:57:56 emerald dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] imap-login: Login: user=<epmccull>, method=PLAIN, rip=137.146.210.59, lip=137.146.210.52, TLS Oct 14 11:58:56 emerald dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.info] imap-login: Login: user=<epmccull>, method=PLAIN, rip=137.146.210.59, lip=137.146.210.52, TLS Oct 14 11:59:03 emerald dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] imap(epmccull): Corrupted index cache file /home/students/e/epmccull/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size Oct 14 11:59:38 emerald dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] imap(epmccull): Corrupted index cache file /home/students/e/epmccull/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Cache record offset 1768 points outside file Oct 14 11:59:39 emerald dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] imap(epmccull): Corrupted index cache file /home/students/e/epmccull/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: used_file_size too small Oct 14 11:59:39 emerald dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] imap(epmccull): file mbox-lock.c: line 518 (mbox_lock): assertion failed: (lock_type == F_RDLCK || mbox->mbox_lock_type != F_RDLCK) Attached is a gdb session on the core dump.

[Dovecot] Message not
by Andrew Hutchings 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

Hi, I'm sure this is a bug fixed in CVS or something stupid I did in the config but here goes: I am getting at least one complaint a day about POP login customers getting 'Message not found' errors while getting their mail. The only thing I can find in the messages that could be related is: Oct 12 15:40:18 svr21 dovecot: pop3(user): Mailbox init failed top=0/0, retr=0/ del=0/0, size=0 It doesn't happen on a very high percentage of logins which makes me think its a locking problem of some kind. Any ideas?

[Dovecot] dovecot won't launch
by Chad Cunningham 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Hi, I downloaded the latest dovecot (1.0 alpha 3) and tried numerous installs which get me nothing. No errors, no crashes, no segfaults and no running dovecot. It just seems to silently exit. I was trying to build with mysql support but I've also tried a plain old install, just configure, make install, etc. I get nada. strace doesn't show anything, at least as far as I can tell. No messages are logged. No output to the console. Any ideas? My only guess, no idea if it matters, is that dovecot doesn't like the fact that this is a VPS (User Mode Linux, Fedora Core 3). But I don't see any reason why not, other mail servers are pretty happy... Here's the strace: -bash-3.00# strace dovecot execve("/usr/local/sbin/dovecot", ["dovecot"], [/* 17 vars */]) = 0 uname({sys="Linux", node="monkey", ...}) = 0 set_tid_address(0) = -1 ENOSYS (Function

[Dovecot] Building dovecot with SSL support on Solaris
by Christian Schmidt 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

Hi all, I'm just trying to build dovecot-1.0.alpha3 on a Solaris 9 machine with SSL support. No matter which options I call ./configure with - it always results in: Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 64bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : none Building with SSL support ........... : no <-- ! Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with mail delivery agent .. : yes Building with user database modules . : static passdb passwd passwd-file checkpassword (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file shadow pam checkpassword (modules) Some more details: $ uname -a SunOS ns 5.9 Generic_117171-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R $ /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 On another system, the build succeeds - including SSL support: $ uname -a SunOS excalibur 5.9 Generic_117171-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 $ /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 I have tried lots of hints Google found in the mailing list archives, but none of them succeeded. I'm looking forward to getting any further hints. If you need some further information, I will post it. Regards & thanks in advance, Christian -- Alle Dinge geschehen aus Notwendigkeit.

[Dovecot] Backup Maildir
by Gabe Granger 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

Hi All, I'm currently doing nightly full backups of /home. I'm not sure if a full back up is the best way to do backups. I know with my fileserver i do weekly full backup and daily incremental which would file on those type of files. I guess my question to the group is, how do you guys backup Maildir? whats the best way of doing it? -- Gabe Granger Pancentric results-driven communications and e-solutions +44 (0) 20 8877 0230 http://www.pancentric.com

[Dovecot] SOLVED: chdir failed: Permission denied
by Joe Sislow 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

Ok, so if anyone runs into a problem where dovecot reports chdir(/home/BLAH) failed with uid NNN: Permission denied in Fedora Core 4 or otherwise, it seems to be a SELinux problem. Turn OFF SELinux and the problem goes away.
