[Dovecot] bug? Maildir ... sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox
by Peter Gervai 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Version: 1.00alpha2 Error: imap(grin): Maildir /home/grin/Maildir sync: UID < next_uid (94 < 95, file = 1127311363.H977932P25148.gollum:2,) imap(grin): Maildir /home/grin/Maildir sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox (95 > 94, file = 1127311363.H977932P25148.gollum:2,) This error reappears frequently. Doesn't go away by restarting dovecot, but does go away when I delete all index and cache and whatnot (and restart dovecot). Appears in 10 minutes again... Could be sylpheed-claws-whatever-alpha imap problem, but whatever the client does dovecot shouldn't be fall apart I believe. Peter

[Dovecot] Another address-spec problem
by Chris Wakelin 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

I've had complaints from users about "MISSING_DOMAIN" in header fields and I've tracked it down to having "." in an unquoted display name. By my reading of RFC2822 (especially section 4.1) A N Other <a.n.other(a)somewhere.org> "A. N. Other" <a.n.other(a)somewhere.org> are legal, but A. N. Other <a.n.other(a)somewhere.org> is "obsolete", but should be supported by the server (no clients should do it). I think the relevant syntax is phrase = 1*word / obs-phrase word = atom / quoted-string obs-phrase = word *(word / "." / CFWS) and rfc822_parse_phrase() should be modified to cope with "obs-phrase". I'll have a go, but if Timo or anybody knows how to do it properly, that would be better!

[Dovecot] virtual passwords
by Michael Collins 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I just set up postfix with some virtual domains and users. Dovecot made some dbs in /etc/dovecot. a passdb and userdb. the passdb file has passwords in there and I want to at least know what it is. I have tried to do 'echo -n mypassword | openssl md5 -hex' and insert that into them but it seems to not work. Probably something I am doing wrong. I looked at the archive and could not figure out how to search it. Anyway how do i change a password? Thanks. this is passdb: andreux@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 andrew@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 sikki@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 amanda@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 info@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 help@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 andrew@blu.biz:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 andreux@blu.biz:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 eric@blu.biz:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 jjenkins@blu.biz:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 -- -- Michael H.

[Dovecot] problem with postgreSQL connect=
by octane indice 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

Hello I'm using dovecot with virtual accounts stored in a postgreSQL db. I use in the dovecot.conf: auth_userdb = pgsql /usr/local/etc/dovecot-pgsql-user.conf (and same for pass). In the file dovecot-pgsql-user.conf, I use: connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=vmail user=lecteur password=lire user_query = SELECT '/var/spool/vhosts/'||nom_domaine||'/'||nom_boite AS mail,5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM boites WHERE email = '%u' It doesn't work. If I write: connect = dbname=vmail user=lecteur user_query = SELECT '/var/spool/vhosts/'||nom_domaine||'/'||nom_boite AS mail,5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM boites WHERE email = '%u' It works. Of course the query with psql works: psql -U lecteur -h 127.0.0.1 vmail -c "SELECT '/var/spool/vhosts/'||nom_domaine||'/'||nom_boite AS mail,5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM boites WHERE email = '%u' " with the password 'lire' My question: do I make something wrong? I want to use the network, because in future, dovecot will not be on the same host than postgreSQL. Thanks --------------------------------------------- Etes vous un consom'Acteur ?

[Dovecot] Lost transaction log file /Users/frohro/Maildir/dovecot.index.log.2 seq 1
by Rob Frohne 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

Hi, I got a bunch of the following errors: Lost transaction log file /Users/frohro/Maildir/dovecot.index.log.2 seq 1 when I was trying to apply some rules to move messages from one mailbox to another. Things hadn't been working well and I had recently upgraded to alpha 2, so I moved all dovecot* files in my Maildir/. Things then seem to work better. Rob -- Rob Frohne, Ph.D., P.E. E.F.

[Dovecot] Weird series of errors with dovecot-stable
by Ben Beuchler 21 Sep '05

21 Sep '05

I'm using the dovecot-stable from 7/30, authenticating against an OpenLDAP server. From time to time, dovecot stops responding to new queries. It seems to be a self-correcting problem, lasting about 20 minutes. Here's how it starts: Aug 18 19:38:23 cliff dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity [150.253.42.12] Aug 18 19:38:36 cliff dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity [68.46.174.217] Aug 18 19:39:35 cliff dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity [150.253.42.12] Normally I see almost no "Disconnected: Inactivity" messages, but when this problem shows up I get an almost non-stop barrage of them. In fact, over the 20 minutes or so, there's about 150 of those entries, so I filtered them out of the log snippets. I also filtered out any "normal" activity during the time period. Here's what's left: Aug 18 19:40:29 cliff dovecot: auth(ldap): file mech.c: line 117 (auth_request_destroy): assertion failed: (request->refcount > 0) Aug 18 19:40:29 cliff dovecot: child 22347 (auth) killed with signal 6 Aug 18 19:42:04 cliff dovecot: auth(ldap): ldap(vmail,150.253.80.31): unknown user Aug 18 19:42:41 cliff dovecot: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: EOF [24.26.184.219] Aug 18 19:43:25 cliff dovecot: auth(ldap): Login process has too old (126s) requests, killing it.
