Hi I'm doing a network install of Dovecot 1.1.2. All is fine apart from a little annoying mistake I've found: I do this: > ./configure --prefix=/appli/tools_Linux/dovecot/1.1.2 --localstatedir=/var && make && make install however, since the --localstatedir is equal to a default value, it is still being constructed as "PREFIX/var" for some reason and in effect produces binary with following strings being built-in: > strings dovecot | grep var /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/run/dovecot /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat /appli/tools/dovecot/1.1.2/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat var-expand.c var_expand_table_build So, the question is, is this a bug or my understanding wrong? I just need a network install, using local /var directiories for runtime data. Imagine that I have no write permissions to the installation (--prefix) folder. If you can reproduce it, this should be it, if you can't let me know to email you all the environment details.

[Dovecot] Override config in deliver command line
by dovecot＠iotti.biz 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hi all In dovecot deliver LDA, is there a way to override some configuration settings for particular users? Tha full story is: I have a simple postfix/dovecot setup. No virtual users, delivery is done in /home/mail/%u. For a specific user, I would like to deliver to a maildir. Since mail_location is not explicitly configured, I simply created ~/Maildir for that user, relying on the default automatic mailbox location procedure used by dovecot. But I would like to be able to override this setting: for example if I wanted to use a name different from Maildir, this trick would not be sufficient. So it would be nice to have some way to change mail_location (and why not, other config parameters) only for particular users (and for me, doing this on the command line would be good: something like Postfix where you can override config parameters simply writing the new settings in master.cf on the daemon's command line). I noticed the -c command line switch, but I would prefer not to have entirely different configuration files for my users, where a single change must be manually propagated on all the files. I use dovecot-1.0.15 on CentOS5. Maybe this question can be read as a feature request too. Thanks Luigi

[Dovecot] Errors with dovecot 1.1.2
by Lauri Jesmin 25 Aug '08

25 Aug '08

Hello, i upgraded dovecot to 1.1.2 this weekend and i get those errors: grep dovecot /var/log/net/maillog |grep Panic | cut -d " " -f 11-100| sort | uniq -c | sort -rn 7368 file index-sync.c: line 39: assertion failed: (seq_range_exists(&ibox->recent_flags, uid)) 71 file index-mail.c: line 1091: assertion failed: (! mail->data.destroying_stream) 18 file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 590: assertion failed: (mails[idx].from_offset == start_offset) 5 file mbox-lock.c: line 675: assertion failed: (lock_type == F_RDLCK || mbox->mbox_lock_type != F_RDLCK) 3 file ostream-file.c: line 533: assertion failed: ((size_t)ret == total_size || !fstream->file) My setup is this: 3 servers, all Solaris, running dovecot, share home directiories via NFS, mbox format mailboxes in home directories. Indexes are separate in every server, not shared via NFS. About 20 000 users total. When old indexes (1.0.15) were present, mailboxes with UID validity problems did not fix themselves, but after i removed index directories in all machines, seems like it started to repair uid validity problems. The first panic seems to be tied to UID validity problems. Some locking problems may be, because i renamed index directory and created new while dovecot was running. -- Lauri Jesmin <lauri.jesmin(a)ut.ee> Tartu Ülikool
