[Dovecot] cross compiling (arm)
by Stephen Feyrer 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

Hi. I'm trying to cross compile dovecot. My desktop machine is an AMD64 box with bells and whistles. The ARM based machine is a network attached storage box. When I run "make" always get x86_64 binaries. My OS is Gentoo, so I have been able to build using emerge a variety of other programs from source. What am I doing wrong here. (Gentoo doesn't have Dovecot for the arm) I run: ./configure --prefix=/opt --target=armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi host=armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --cache-file=config.cache These are some values from config.cache which I think are pertinent: ac_cv_build=${ac_cv_build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu} ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu=${ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu=yes} ac_cv_env_build_alias_set=set ac_cv_env_build_alias_value=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ac_cv_env_host_alias_set= ac_cv_env_host_alias_value= ac_cv_env_target_alias_set=set ac_cv_env_target_alias_value=armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi acl_cv_path_LD=${acl_cv_path_LD='/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld -m elf_x86_64'} lt_cv_path_LDCXX=${lt_cv_path_LDCXX='/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld -m elf_x86_64'} lt_cv_sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec=${lt_cv_sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec='/lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib //usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib //usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib /lib /usr/lib /lib64 /usr/lib64 /usr/local/lib64 /lib32 /usr/lib32 /usr/local/lib32 /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.2 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.3 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.3/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/32 /usr/lib64/nspr /usr/lib64/nss /usr/lib64/seamonkey /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib/amd64/ /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib/amd64/native_threads/ /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib/amd64/classic/ /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib/amd64/server/ /usr/kde/4.1/lib /usr/kde/4.1/lib64 /usr/kde/4.1/lib32 /usr/kde/4.2/lib /usr/kde/4.2/lib64 /usr/kde/4.2/lib32 /usr/lib64/qca1 /usr/lib64/qca2 /usr/lib/qt4 /usr/lib64/qt4 /usr/lib32/qt4 /usr/qt/3/lib /usr/qt/3/lib64 /usr/qt/3/lib32 /usr/games/lib /usr/games/lib64 /usr/games/lib32 /opt/flash-libcompat /usr/lib64/fltk-1.1 /usr/lib32/libstdc++-v3/ '} lt_cv_sys_lib_search_path_spec=${lt_cv_sys_lib_search_path_spec='/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.2 /usr/lib64 /lib64 /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib'}

[Dovecot] 1.1.16 stops authenticating users after several days
by Juergen Obermann 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Hello, we use dovecot v1.1.16 on two servers with Solaris 9. This week both suddenly stopped authenticating users. The first server was startet on Jun 2 and ran until Jun 18 and the other startet on Jun 3 and failed on Jun 15. Both generated then lots of error messages, three for every user that attemps to login, looking like that: Jun 15 08:35:23 minerva dovecot-auth[20831]: [ID 401707 user.error] open_module: /usr/lib/security/pam_unix_account.so.1 failed: ld.so.1: dovecot-auth: fatal: /usr/lib/security/pam_unix_account.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory Jun 15 08:35:23 minerva dovecot-auth[20831]: [ID 487707 user.error] load_modules: can not open module /usr/lib/security/pam_unix_account.so.1 Jun 15 08:35:23 minerva dovecot: [ID 107833 local0.error] auth-worker(default): pam(gp1071,134.176.2.89): pam_acct_mgmt() failed: Dlopen failure The file /usr/lib/security/pam_unix_account.so.1 was still there and had not been changed.

[Dovecot] compiling dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.5 with the latest dovecot-1.2.rc5
by Tim Traver 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Hi all, ok, downloaded dovecot-1.2.rc5 and compiled it with no problem. Then, I went to compile the latest dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.5 with it, and got the following error : mail-raw.c: In function 'mail_raw_init': mail-raw.c:119: error: 'NAMESPACE_FLAG_INTERNAL' undeclared (first use in this function) mail-raw.c:119: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once mail-raw.c:119: error: for each function it appears in.) *** Error code 1 In looking around, I noticed in a changed log dated last month, that the NAMESPACE_FLAG_INTERNAL was moved to be two separate flags "_NOQUOTA and _NOACL"... But I think that the author of dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.5 hasn't made the change to handle that... So, first of all, I guess I would just like to bring it to the authors attention if it hasn't been already, and second, what is the last rc version before that change so I can actually get things to compile? Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] quota.
by Mauro 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hallo. Sorry for may bad english. I'm running dovecot 1.0.15 on a debian lenny system. I've set quota plugin and, under section plugin, I've set: quota = maildir quota_rule = *:storage=50M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=10%% quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80. For some accounts the quota limit works well. When I send mail I receive a rejected mail for quota exceeded. For some other accounts it doesn'work despite they have passed the 50M storage limit. Why?
