[Dovecot] Bug found, assertion failed
by Tobias Daucher 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Hi there, We're running dovecot 2.06, with mdbox. Following message was in our syslog: Jan 20 09:26:48 servername dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.crit] imap(user): Panic: file istream-limit.c: line 79: assertion failed: (v_offset <= lstream->v_size) The problem could be solved on client side, by just deleting the ImapMail-Folder in Thunderbird. Why? Thunderbird tried to move a message, that obviously wasn't there. Dovecot got killed and the message above was in the syslog. Connection was closed and Thunderbird told me the server is dead. Thunderbird tried this every few seconds, and there was no way to say thunderbird "stop try moving". So the only way was to delete thunderbirds mail cache. I think it would be very nice, if dovecot doesn't die, just because the client tries to move a message, which isn't there.

Go with a cluster filesystem such as OCFS or GFS2 and an inexpensive SAN > storage unit that supports mixed SSD and spinning storage such as the Nexsan > SATABoy with 2GB cache: http://www.nexsan.com/sataboy.php I can't speak for OCFS2, but after several years' experience with the filesystem I strongly recommend NOT using GFS/GFS2. Its locking model is incredibly slow (500 locks/second on a filesystem mounted with quotas enabled and noatime) and results in dire performance - plus there's a known crash vulnerability if files are repeatedly renamed in large directories (this bites us regularly...) GFS2 isn't an "enterprise" filesystem by any stretch of the imagination, despite what a number of enthusiastic salespeople might try to convince you of. We're lucky to keep the GFS servers up for more than a week at a time.

[Dovecot] Upgrading from 1.2 to 2.0
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Greetings Dovecot mailing list! We are an ISP that recently migrated from Courier to Dovecot, and are looking at the next round of upgrades. Hoping that we could get pointed to some documentation or get a general list of best practices for an upgrade from 1.2.13 to 2.0.9. Our current environment consists of four Dovecot machines that share an NFS backend hosting POP and IMAP. Our biggest question is whether we can support a rolling upgrade from 1.2.13 to 2.0.9, or if it would need to be an all for one cut. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Dovecot] Duplicate mail for forwards (dovecot+postfix+postfixadmin)

Cool, thank you Patrick! Must have missed that somehow. I put the setting in main.cf, "receive_override_options = no_address_mappings", right after 'content_filter' (running amavisd on a separate port) and it seems to have fixed the problem. -- Darek On Tue, Jan 18, 2011 at 7:05 PM, Patrick Westenberg <pw(a)wk-serv.de> wrote: > Darek M schrieb: > >> Anyone have an idea of what I should be looking at in a situation like >> this?

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole 2.2 build issue on arm
by Tom Talpey 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

When building Pigeonhole 2.2 for ARM, the following warnings are produced: uri-mailto.c: In function '_parse_hex_value': uri-mailto.c:139: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type uri-mailto.c:145: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type The problem is a test assuming that char is a signed type : static inline int _decode_hex_digit(char digit) { ... static bool _parse_hex_value(const char **in, char *out) { char value; // <<--- change to "int". if ( **in == '\0' || (value=_decode_hex_digit(**in)) < 0 ) return FALSE; *out = value << 4; (*in)++; if ( **in == '\0' || (value=_decode_hex_digit(**in)) < 0 ) return FALSE; This is untested, but I changed the "char value" to "int value" to correct the signed comparisons. There are no warnings when building for x86 in either case, btw. Also, the two tests for "**in == '\0'" seem to be unnecessary?

[Dovecot] Problem with seeing mail after Upgrade from Courier
by apettitt 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

I created a new server for a webmail system because the old server crashed. When I created the server, I installed Dovecot and the old server had Courier. On the new server, I'm doing virtual users where the old one created system users. I moved all the folders over for all the users on to the new server and ran the Courier-Dovecot migration script. The files were created successfully with no issues. The issue I'm having now is that Dovecot is not seeing any mail in the user's directory. If I create a new user, it can send and receive mail with no problems. If I send an email to an existing user, it gets delivered to the new folder but dovecot does not see anything in the new folder. There is also mail in the curr folder that dovecot does not see. I'm using Roundcube as a webmail client but I've also tried using Telnet with the same results. Any ideas? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Problem-with-seeing-mail-after-Upgrade-from-Courier-t… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Dovecot] Duplicate mail for forwards (dovecot+postfix+postfixadmin)
by Darek M 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Dovecot 1.2.11, using postfixAdmin 2.3 to manage, basically using the postfixadmin schema and sql queries during install. - If I set a forward for an account to go to a remote email address, no dupes. - If I set a forward for an account to go to an email address on the same system, I get a dupe in the inbox of the second address. So if account1(a)domain.com has account2(a)domain.com as a forward, account2@ receives two copies of the same message, completely identical, same message IDs, same md5 sum. If I add account3@ into the mix, account3@ will also receive two copies of each message. I will also get a duplicate if I forward mail to account(a)anotherdomain.com, where anotherdomain.com is also hosted on the same system. account1(a)domain.com receives one copy. Here is the Dovecot log: Jan 18 17:24:40 deliver(account2(a)domain.com): Info: msgid=<4D361323.3040000(a)srvr.net>: saved mail to INBOX Jan 18 17:24:40 deliver(account1(a)domain.com): Info: msgid=<4D361323.3040000(a)srvr.net>: saved mail to INBOX Jan 18 17:24:40 deliver(account2(a)domain.com): Info: msgid=<4D361323.3040000(a)srvr.net>: saved mail to INBOX Postfix logs only show one delivery for each message, and since the headers aren't changed at all, I think the lda is at fault here. This is the entry for the account in the 'alias' table ======================== mysql> select * from alias where address='account1(a)domain.com'; +-----------------------+----------------------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+ | address | goto | domain | created | modified | active | +-----------------------+----------------------------------------+------------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+ | account1(a)domain.com | account1@domain.com,account2@domain.com | nyinet.com | 2010-11-28 18:07:40 | 2011-01-18 17:04:03 | 1 | Anyone have an idea of what I should be looking at in a situation like this?
