Couldn't create lock .dovecot-sync.lock
by listas＠adminlinux.com.br 22 May '15

22 May '15

Hi, In a cluster with two servers and replication via dovecot-dsync, this error is logged: server1 dovecot: dsync-server(<user>): Error: Couldn't create lock /var/lib/imap/user/6a/<user>/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory This is because "/var/lib/imap/user/6a/<user>/" doesn't exist in server1. In another cluster node, the directory exists and everything seems to work fine. In my view, this indicates that the first sync is failing. In the first user access Dovecot creates home_dir for him. But the sync is not happening at this time to create the home_dir on the other node. My confs with doveconf -n: http://www.adminlinux.com.br/newcluster_doveconf.txt Thanks in advance! -- Thiago Henrique

dovecot 2.2.18 and ssl_parameters_regenerate
by django＠nausch.org 22 May '15

22 May '15

HI Timo, On http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration I read in chapter SSL security settings: When Dovecot starts up for the first time, it generates new 512bit and 1024bit Diffie Hellman parameters and saves them into <prefix>/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat. After the initial creation they're by default regenerated every week. With newer computers the generation shouldn't take more than a few seconds, but with older computers it can take as long as half an hour. The extra security gained by the regeneration is quite small, so with slower computers, for Dovecot versions prior to v2.2, you might want to disable it If I discover the default-value of ssl_parameters_regenerate I receive: # doveconf -d ssl_parameters_regenerate ssl_parameters_regenerate = 0 In your doku you wrote, that dovecot will regenerate every week. :/ ? I set it to "1 hours" and watch if /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat is build every hour, but nothing happens. ssl-parameters.dat is only rebuild, if I change ssl_dh_parameters_length What's the problem? What I've made false? ttyl Django -- http://dokuwiki.nausch.org http://wetterstation-pliening.info http://ebersberger-liedersammlung.de

charset_to_utf8 assertion of remaining src_size

Log mail access
by Philipp Brüll 20 May '15

20 May '15

Hello, is it somehow possible to log the access to a mail? The log entry should be written, if a user fetches a mail via imap or pop3. It would be convenient for debugging. I've checked the Logging-Wiki and the docs for the mail_log plugin, but they seem to log any event but "mail access". Best regards, Philipp
