Pacaging/build issues with AIX and vac (dovecot-2.2.25)

Hi. I finally decided it was really time to stop being lazy and really move away from gmail. After I have a server in my basement using power, etc. So I turned on the imap provided - and did not quite cry - it will have to do for now, but imap2 is wanting. A real server yes, but not Linux. (Using linux would require another server AND I would feel I am being lazy again). So, I downloaded dovecot-2.2.25 and tried to build. Configure (messages to stderr) xlc is /usr/vacpp/bin/xlc + CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/include -I/opt/buildaix/include" CFLAGS="-I/opt/include -O2 -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=pwr5 -I/opt/buildaix/includes ./configure\ --prefix=/opt \ --sysconfdir=/var/dovecot/etc\ --sharedstatedir=/var/dovecot/com\ --localstatedir=/var/dovecot\ --mandir=/usr/share/man\ --infodir=/opt/share/info/dovecot \ > .buildaix/configure.out xlc_r: 1501-216 (W) command option -dM is not recognized - passed to ld xlc_r: 1501-228 (W) input file c not found 1506-297 (S) Unable to open input file null.

I am quite willing to dig and dig - but I want to be know if there will be any interest and/or support for dovecot on AIX. Sincerely, Michael

[Dovecot] Dovecot stops with "Fatal: kevent(): Invalid argument"
by Henrik Larsson 09 Jun '17

09 Jun '17

# 2.0.11: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE amd64 Dovecot stops with the following logged: - master: Fatal: kevent(): Invalid argument I have found that a diff was created for "src/lib/ioloop-kqueue.c" for a similar issue: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2010-November/054855.html I have patched my system with this and haven't seen the problem since, but I don't know if this is a coincidence. Could you please explain if the diff should actually fix anything or just add some more logging in case it stops again? Best regards Henrik Larsson

Fatal error with IMAP MOVE from a shared mailbox to Trash folder
by Daniele Barresi 30 May '17

30 May '17

Hello everyone. I have a problem using Dovecot 2.2.26 with ACL plugin and deleting e-mails from a shared mailbox. My user doesn't have the "expunge" permission on the shared mailbox, but it has the "write-deleted" permission. So, when I delete a message from the shared mailbox using a client that implements the IMAP MOVE command, it tries to move the message to my Trash folder. Then the server closes the connection to the client (process aborted) and I get three lines in the log file with a backtrace and "Fatal" error. In this case the message doesn't get copied or moved from the shared folder and the client complaints. I found the same thing happens whenever I try to move anything between folders of the shared mailbox itself, while logged in with my user. I can move messages inside my own mailbox just fine. If I try the same operation from a client that uses the IMAP COPY + DELETE commands, no errors are logged and the outcome is as expected: the message gets copied from the shared folder to my Trash and gets the flag "\Deleted" set on the shared folder.

I tested and reproduced the error with Thunderbird and Roundcube. The Apple Mail client uses IMAP COPY + DELETE, instead of IMAP MOVE, and no errors are reported. So I think it's related to the IMAP MOVE implementation on Dovecot server. Has anyone seen the same error? Any suggestions? Is this a Dovecot bug? --- Daniele Barresi

[Bug] Mailbox aliases still broken
by azurit＠pobox.sk 20 Mar '17

20 Mar '17

Hi, about an year ago i was reporting a bug in mailbox aliases, which remains unfixed and unasnwered (probably totally ignored, don't understand why). I thought it was because the bug is old and already fixed but yesterday i upgraded to Dovecot 2.2.24 and problem persists. Here is the original report, everything, except the Dovecot version, is still correct: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2015-June/101176.html Will this be fixed? Thanks for info. azur

Dict protocol changes string
by Nagy, Attila 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Hi, I use pass and userdb with dict protocol in a similar way: key passdb { key = passdb^MAuth-User: %u^MAuth-Pass: %w^MAuth-Protocol: %s^MClient-IP: %r format = json } (^M is an \r character, inserted with vi CTRL-v + enter) Until 2.2.24 this has worked, but 2.2.25 seems to convert that ASCII 13 into an ASCII 1 and an "r". Python printout from what I get with 2.2.25: 'Lshared/passdb\x01rAuth-User: user\x01rAuth-Pass: pass\x01rAuth-Protocol: pop3\x01rClient-IP: 1.2.3.4' Is this change intentional? Why?

Sieve Script Replication Gliches (Report #2)
by Reuben Farrelly 26 Feb '17

26 Feb '17

Hi, I've observed some odd behaviour with dsync replication between two hosts, specifically to do with sieve script replication. In short, I have two hosts which replicate in a master-master type setup where almost all of the reads and writes happen to just one of the two hosts. They are both running 2.2.devel (9dc6403), which is close to the latest 2.2 -git . Pigeonhole is running master-0.4 . This is on x86_64 Gentoo. Normal mail replication between Maildir's for all users works fine, however it appears that something recently committed to the code has broken sieve script replication between the two. I am sure this did once work. Replication is via tcps: . Sieve scripts on the lesser-used host are not up to date by an order of days/weeks with the main host and they don't seem to re-replicate - even if the rules don't exist at all on the replica. The symptoms and effects look to be the same as this (unanswered) post from December: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2015-December/102690.html I am not sure how to view the transaction log files, but I am seeing the same symptoms, ie no live replication, and on the lesser-used host almost all the scripts were old and some had the 1970 date on them. Even after forcing a [dsync replication replicate '*'] the scripts are not replicated. As it stands now there are no sieve scripts on one of the two members and the system seems unable to replicate by itself. Secondly, I am also seeing some doubled up outputs if I run 'doveadm sieve list -A': thunderstorm reuben # doveadm sieve list -A reuben rules ACTIVE liam rules ACTIVE kaylene rules ACTIVE reuben rules ACTIVE liam rules ACTIVE kaylene rules ACTIVE ... Has anyone else experienced the replication problem? Are sieve scripts actually replicating in live time for other 2.2.24/2.2.25 users as well? For me I didn't notice this till I went looking so I wonder if other people are experiencing this but just not aware of it yet...? Reuben

Replication sieve scripts.
by Luescher Claude 26 Feb '17

26 Feb '17

Hello, Following up on old thread: http://www.dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2014-December/099003.html I have the exact same issue with 2.2.10: ii dovecot-antispam 2.0+20130822-2 amd64 Dovecot plugins for training spam filters ii dovecot-core 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - core files ii dovecot-imapd 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - IMAP daemon ii dovecot-ldap 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - LDAP support ii dovecot-lmtpd 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - LMTP server ii dovecot-managesieved 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - ManageSieve server ii dovecot-mysql 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - MySQL support ii dovecot-pop3d 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - POP3 daemon ii dovecot-sieve 1:2.2.10-1 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - Sieve filters support As even his version should already support sieve replication through dsync mine would have to support it for sure but I would like to hear a confirmation from the developers. The mail sync just works perfectly between the 2 nodes, it is only the sieve scripts which don't get replicated. I have tried to add additional sieve related options to the replicator: service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 } plugin { mail_replica = tcp:1.2.3.4 replication_full_sync_interval = 1 hours #Added (makes no difference) sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve_after sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.duplicate sieve_duplicate_period = 1h #Added (makes no difference) } service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail } } It did not help. If there is one way I would like to get this work without upgrading dovecot. Thank you.

antispam plugin pipe backend error when moving multiple emails
by Stéphane Cottin 12 Feb '17

12 Feb '17

Hi, I've got some trouble with the dovecot antispam plugin and the pipe backend. I'm using dovecot 2.2.18 with maildirs and zlib compression enabled. When moving 2 or more emails at once from the Junk folder to another one, I always have the following error : "Failed to copy to temporary file" In the server logs : imap(vvv(a)vvv.vvv): Error: read(zlib(/data/Maildir/.test/tmp/1446974366.M123890P936.vvv)) failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (13553 < 13562, box=test, UID=0) The same operation with one email at a time, on the same emails, works as expected.

Vacation Sending To Root
by Shaun Forsyth 31 Jan '17

31 Jan '17

Dovecot Version 2.0.9 I am having an issue where all vacation messages are being sent to root. Is any one able to advise. Dovecot Log Shows :- Sieve: msgid=< CAMD5TViw0sSigGm8JY5WOv0ROs1UdCJFnvb9vo-RzcNN74E92Q(a)mail.xxxxxx.com>: sent vacation response to <root> The emails are handed off to dovecot from sendmail using procmail :0 w | $DELIVER The variable $DELIVER is set as DELIVER="/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver" I do have DROPPRIVS=YES in procmail, however I don't think deliver works without this. Any advice would greatly help. Shaun
