Segfault with error 4 in doveadm-server

I set up dovecot on two servers with replication enabled. The replication is over a vpn connection. I get massive segfaults from doveadm-server every few minutes. dmesg: doveadm-server[30030]: segfault at 0 ip 0000557fa16d2e62 sp 00007ffdcaafec50 error 4 in doveadm-server[557fa16a3000+41000] [486397.225636] Code: 40 03 4c 8d 3c c3 48 8d 44 24 18 48 89 44 24 08 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 49 8b bc 24 60 01 00 00 e8 e3 2a 00 00 48 89 44 24 18 <48> 8b 13 48 8d 35 c4 8d 00 00 48 89 c7 e8 2c 2b 00 00 31 c0 c6 45 mail.err dovecot: doveadm: Fatal: master: service(doveadm): child 29507 killed with signal 11 (core dumps disabled) I am absolutely unaware of how I can come to the cause of this error.

LMTP Post login script for acl_groups
by lists＠mlserv.org 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

Hi, I use a post login script for imap, to fetch acl groups from LDAP. Because Dovecot can only deal with a single value, which must be a comma seperated list of groups, I decided to use a post login script do deal with multi values in LDAP: This looks like this in LDAP: rnsMSACLGroup: admin rnsMSACLGroup: automx rnsMSACLGroup: amavis rnsMSACLGroup: postfix rnsMSACLGroup: dovecot rnsMSACLGroup: rspamd rnsMSACLGroup: powerdns rnsMSACLGroup: sogo rnsMSACLGroup: zabbix rnsMSACLGroup: dane-users rnsMSACLGroup: gentoo rnsMSACLGroup: openbsd My post login script looks like this: --------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh BINDDN='cn=dovecot-postlogin,ou=people,ou=it,dc=roessner-net,dc=de' BINDPWFILE='/etc/dovecot/ldap-postlogin.secret' BASE='ou=people,ou=it,dc=roessner-net,dc=de' LDAPSEARCH="/usr/bin/ldapsearch" AWK="/usr/bin/awk" test -x ${LDAPSEARCH} || exec "$@" test -x ${AWK} || exec "$@" ACL_GROUPS=$( ${LDAPSEARCH} -LLL -ZZ -y ${BINDPWFILE} -xD ${BINDDN} -b ${BASE} "(rnsMSDovecotUser=${USER})" rnsMSACLGroup | \ grep rnsMSACLGroup | \ ${AWK} -vORS=, '{ print $2 }' | \ sed 's/,$/\n/' ) export ACL_GROUPS export USERDB_KEYS="${USERDB_KEYS} acl_groups" exec "$@" --------------------------------------------------------- This script is included in imap-postlogin executables and works for logged in users. But it does not work for LMTP. LMTP itself seems not to have any permissions to access the folders associated with these groups. I thought, I simply could add the imap-postlogin block to lmtp-postlogin and that would work, but it doesn't. So here is the question: What am I missing in Dovecot that LMTP can also have ACL_GROUPS like the imap service? Here is my config (non-defaults): --------------------------------------------------------- doveconf -n # 2.3.7.1 (0152c8b10): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.7.1 (db5c74be) # OS:

Ok I'm agree! So, about you, which version can I try to install the 2.2.27 or the previous release of the 2.3 version such as v2.3.2 2018-06-29 or v2.3.1 2018-02-29?

flags not synced correctly with dovecot sync (dsync)
by Dan Christensen 31 Aug '19

31 Aug '19

I'm running dovecot 2.3.4.1 from https://repo.dovecot.org/ on Ubuntu 18.04 on three machines that I'll call server, laptop1 and laptop2. Both laptop1 and laptop2 run dovecot sync against server to keep local copies of my imap folders. Even when I initially had only two machines, laptop1 and server, I occasionally noticed that flags were lost, usually custom flags used by Gnus, but I couldn't reliably reproduce the problem. Now that I have two laptops syncing against the server, the problem has gotten worse and I figured out a way to reproduce it: - on server: create new IMAP folder test, and put two read messages in it - on laptop1: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server - on laptop2: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server At this point, all three machines show the two messages M1 and M2 as being read. - on laptop1: mark message M1 unread - on laptop2: mark message M2 unread - on laptop1: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server Both laptop1 and server have M1 unread, M2 read, as expected. - on laptop2: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server Now laptop2 and server have M1 *read*, M2 unread. - on laptop1: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server Now laptop1 and the server have both M1 and M2 *read*. - on laptop2: doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -f user@server Now laptop2 has both read as well. The two lines that say "*read*" are wrong in my opinion. dsync propagated a read mark to an unread message, even though that message was marked unread more recently than it was marked read. I usually use stateful sync, and get many related problems. I just did a test in which M1 and M2 started out read, and I started with empty files named dstate.test on laptop1 and laptop2. Then I did the above procedure, using the command doveadm sync -u user -l 10 -m test -s "`cat dstate.test`" user@server > dstate.test At the end, laptop2 and server had both messages unread (which is good), but laptop1 had only M1 unread, and repeated runs of the sync command did not correct this. So the stateful sync failed to detect a change. Are these bugs in dovecot? Is there more information that I can provide? The output of doveconf -n on one machine is below, and the others are almost identical. Thanks for any help!

doveadm backup mdbox - initial copy slow
by Gerald Galster 30 Aug '19

30 Aug '19

Hello, when calling doveadm backup like in the following example, it seems to flush every email to disk maxing out harddrives (iops) and resulting in very poor performance: Calling doveadm -o plugin/quota= backup -u "statusmails(a)domain.com" "mdbox:/backup/vmail/domain.com/statusmails" finished in 212 secs [changes:1800 copy:1800 delete:0 expunge:0] The source mdbox holds 1800 small emails and uses about 20 MB disk space only. I've tried -f (full sync) and -l 30 (locking the mailbox) which did not get faster, nor did doveadm sync -1. When using doveadm import all mails are copied in less than 3 seconds: time doveadm -o mail=mdbox:/backup/vmail/domain.com/statusmails import mdbox:/var/vmail/domain.com/statusmails "" all real 0m2.605s Are there any other options I could try to speed up doveadm backup, avoiding the flush after each email? This is doveadm from dovecot 2.2 (>= 2.2.33). Does anyone get better results with 2.3 tree? Best regards Gerald

User / Pass SQL queries

Hi all, Is there any reason Dovecot shows the 'user' variable (ie: user(a)domain.tld) being obtained in the password query and not the (more logical) user query? Thanks, Michael

I've just updated my dovecot on centos, after 'yum update' dovecot failed to work, with manual restart it worked fine, just giving a warning: # dovecot Warning: Corrected permissions for login directory /var/run/dovecot/token-login dovecot --version 2.3.7.2 (3c910f64b) all's good, just reporting in case this is relevant to rpm maintainers thanks, V
