kqueue crash on FreeBSD with 2.2.25
by Adam Weinberger 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hi, 2.2.25 crashes on FreeBSD with a kqueue-related message. I see references to something similar (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-February.txt) from a couple years ago. I get: Jul 1 10:07:27 imap dovecot: master: Panic: kevent(EV_ADD, READ, 54) failed: Bad file descriptor It's not dumping core, and I get the message even with "protocols =" Downgrading back to 2.2.24 fixes it. What info would be helpful for me to provide here? # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw(a)adamw.org http://www.adamw.org

duplicate Mails with dsync replication
by Dennis Kuhn 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hi! We have some strange replication issues. Some mails are duplicated when expunged. This bug is quite hard to reproduce, it just happens occasionally. It seems somehow related to sieve. When i deleted the sieve script i could not reproduce this behavior. Here are some logs, mjm-100010(a)mydomain.com is an alias for mjm(a)mydomain.com: # Master Jun 23 00:51:41 dobby4 dovecot: lmtp(mjm-100010(a)mydomain.com): copy from <lmtp DATA>: box=INBOX, uid=7816, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 00:51:41 dobby4 dovecot: lmtp(mjm-100010(a)mydomain.com): 4N23HaMVa1fpmQEAJEBNLA: sieve: msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Jun 23 04:52:57 dobby4 dovecot: pop3(mjm(a)mydomain.com): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=7816, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 04:52:57 dobby4 dovecot: dsync-local(mjm(a)mydomain.com): save: box=INBOX, uid=7817, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 04:55:21 dobby4 dovecot: pop3(mjm(a)mydomain.com): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=7817, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 # Replica Jun 23 00:51:42 dobby5 dovecot: dsync-server(mjm-100010(a)mydomain.com): save: box=INBOX, uid=7816, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 04:52:57 dobby5 dovecot: dsync-server(mjm(a)mydomain.com): copy from INBOX: box=INBOX, uid=7817, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 04:52:57 dobby5 dovecot: dsync-server(mjm(a)mydomain.com): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=7816, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 Jun 23 04:55:22 dobby5 dovecot: dsync-server(mjm(a)mydomain.com): expunge: box=INBOX, uid=7817, msgid=<20160623005132EE517444BB$3A04DF25DD@ABRAHAM>, size=8933 The problem is the "dsync-server(mjm(a)mydomain.com): copy from INBOX: box=INBOX, uid=7817" on dobby5 at 04:52:57. This creates a new uid 7817 and the new mail is replicated back to dobby4. But i have no idea what triggers this copy. Any ideas? The dovecot version is 2.2.24. Thanks Dennis

many imap connections issue
by Бауыржан Сахариев 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

I'm using dovecot 2.1.7 I'm trying to connect to dovecot by imap via Java mail api. My approach described here <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37991025/why-iterating-over-all-java-mai…>. Bill Shannon, author of the Java Mail api recommended me to check carefully my server side (I have dovecot at server side). Actually, imap login in loop works but very slow. Each store.connect(login,password) takes about 1 minute. I tried to increase mail_max_userip_connections client_limit and process limit but it didn't help. My dovecot sometimes performs query, sometimes not! My logs: Jul 04 18:23:25 auth: Error: pgsql: Query failed, aborting: SELECT email, 'maildir:/home/mailboxes/maildir/'||maildir as mail,'/home/mailboxes/home/'||maildir as home, 500 as uid, 500 as gid FROM users WHERE email = 'test(a)test.domain.com' Jul 04 18:23:25 auth: Error: sql(test(a)test.domain.com,127.0.0.1,<HGiPY842jgB/AAAB>): User query failed: ERROR: permission denied for relation users My user and password queries: password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM users WHERE email = '%u' user_query = SELECT email as user, 'maildir:/home/mailboxes/maildir/'||maildir as mail, '/home/mailboxes/home/'||maildir as home, 500 as uid, 500 as gid FROM users WHERE email = '%u' My master conf *Please note, that I'm using same uid!* service imap-login { inet_listener imap { #port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { #port = 993 #ssl = yes } # Number of connections to handle before starting a new process. Typically # the only useful values are 0 (unlimited) or 1. 1 is more secure, but 0 # is faster. <doc/wiki/LoginProcess.txt> #service_count = 1 # Number of processes to always keep waiting for more connections. #process_min_avail = 0 # If you set service_count=0, you probably need to grow this. #vsz_limit = $default_vsz_limit } service imap { # Most of the memory goes to mmap()ing files. You may need to increase this # limit if you have huge mailboxes. #vsz_limit = $default_vsz_limit # Max. number of IMAP processes (connections) #process_limit = 1024 } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { #mode = 0666 #user = #group = } # Postfix smtp-auth #unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { # mode = 0666 #} # Auth process is run as this user. #user = $default_internal_user } service auth-worker { # Auth worker process is run as root by default, so that it can access # /etc/shadow. If this isn't necessary, the user should be changed to # $default_internal_user. #user = root } I'm sure that long login *reason is poor dovecot config* but some things are not clear to me and I can't improve it. 1. Which service are being used when Java connects to dovecot? imap-login,imap or auth? My assumption - imap-login. Imap user for dealing with folders *after* login, auth is for delivery (my assotioations here are postfix,lmtp,lda) =) Is my assumptions about imap-login and other services correct? 2. Which user are being used when I login? One that specified in connection code(one of 50K users in loop) or uid(500) user? I suggested that only one user and increased mail_max_userip_connections is it correct? 3. May some troubles in connection (which I showed above) caused by mode(0660) bad config in master.cf services? 4. Almost each loop iteration connects to dovecot in 60 seconds and rarely connects in a few milliseconds. Is that fact somehow connected with deafult_idle_kill which equlas to 1 mins?

v2.2.25 released
by Timo Sirainen 04 Jul '16

04 Jul '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.25.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.25.tar.gz.sig Some minor fixes and (mainly logging) improvements since rc1. * lmtp: Start tracking lmtp_user_concurrency_limit and reject already at RCPT TO stage. This avoids MTA unnecessarily completing DATA only to get an error. * doveadm: Previously only mail settings were read from protocol doveadm { .. } section. Now all settings are. + quota: Added quota_over_flag_lazy_check setting. It avoids checking quota_over_flag always at startup. Instead it's checked only when quota is being read for some other purpose. + auth: Added a new auth policy service: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Policy + auth: Added PBKDF2 password scheme + auth: Added %{auth_user}, %{auth_username} and %{auth_domain} + auth: Added ":remove" suffix to extra field names to remove them. + auth: Added "delay_until=<timestamp>[+<max random secs>]" passdb extra field. The auth will wait until <timestamp> and optionally some randomness and then return success. + dict proxy: Added idle_msecs=<n> parameter. Support async operations. + Performance improvements for handling large mailboxes. + Added lib-dcrypt API for providing cryptographic functions. + Added "doveadm mailbox update" command + imap commands' output now includes timing spent on the "syncing" stage if it's larger than 0. + cassandra: Added metrics=<path> to connect setting to output internal statistics in JSON format every second to <path>. + doveadm mailbox delete: Added -e parameter to delete only empty mailboxes. Added --unsafe option to quickly delete a mailbox, bypassing lazy_expunge and quota plugins. + doveadm user & auth cache flush are now available via doveadm-server. + doveadm service stop <services> will stop specified services while leaving the rest of Dovecot running. + quota optimization: Avoid reading mail sizes for backends which don't need them (count, fs, dirsize) + Added mailbox { autoexpunge_max_mails=<n> } setting. + Added welcome plugin: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Welcome + fts: Added fts_autoindex_exclude setting. - v2.2.24's MIME parser was assert-crashing on mails having truncated MIME headers. - auth: With multiple userdbs the final success/failure result wasn't always correct. The last userdb's result was always used. - doveadm backup was sometimes deleting entire mailboxes unnecessarily. - doveadm: Command -parameters weren't being sent to doveadm-server. - If dovecot.index read failed e.g. because mmap() reached VSZ limit, an empty index could have been opened instead, corrupting the mailbox state. - imapc: Fixed EXPUNGE handling when imapc_features didn't have modseq. - lazy-expunge: Fixed a crash when copying failed. Various other fixes. - fts-lucene: Fixed crash on index rescan. - auth_stats=yes produced broken output - dict-ldap: Various fixes - dict-sql: NULL values crashed. Now they're treated as "not found".

For example: plugin { #acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes acl_shared_dict = file:/home/vmail/domain.com/shared-mailboxes2 #acl_lookup_dict = file:/home/vmail/domain.com/shared-mailboxes } Any suggestions?
