Hello, after debian version from 9 to, also dovecot was upgraded. There was problems with right imap and imap-login connection settings. I adjusted process_limit, service count increased /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn from 128 to 1024 for imap It's a system with 1000+ imap and 200+ pop3 connections. When imap connections are over 1000 problems begins. Problem one: 2020-12-07T12:46:39.575586+01:00 vhermes dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process 2020-12-07T12:46:39.576448+01:00 vhermes dovecot: pop3: Fatal: master: service(pop3): child 13975 killed with signal 9 2020-12-07T12:46:42.015726+01:00 vhermes dovecot: master: Error: service(lmtp): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process 2020-12-07T12:46:42.016680+01:00 vhermes dovecot: lmtp: Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 13985 killed with signal 9 2020-12-07T12:46:42.061963+01:00 vhermes dovecot: master: Error: service(lmtp): Initial status notification not received in 30 seconds, killing the process 2020-12-07T12:46:42.062973+01:00 vhermes dovecot: lmtp: Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 13987 killed with signal 9 problem two: 2020-12-07T13:55:43.106017+01:00 vhermes dovecot: pop3: Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable 2020-12-07T13:56:22.300893+01:00 vhermes dovecot: lmtp: Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable 2020-12-07T13:58:11.721892+01:00 vhermes dovecot: imap: Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable problem three - lot of 2020-12-07T10:16:24.773347+01:00 vhermes dovecot: imap-login: Error: master(imap): net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable - http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SocketUnavailable problem four - crashing 020-12-09T07:53:26.914331+01:00 vhermes dovecot: imap(user@domain)<5426><cv8ehAK2npZX7MQb>: Panic: file message-parser.c: line 174 (message_part_finish): assertion failed: (ctx->nested_parts_count > 0) 2020-12-09T07:53:26.916771+01:00 vhermes dovecot: imap(user@domain)<5426><cv8ehAK2npZX7MQb>: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xdb62b) [0x7f31bb0d462b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xdb6c1) [0x7f31bb0d46c1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4a149) [0x7f31bb043149] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x474ac) [0x7f31bb0404ac] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(message_parser_parse_next_block+0x104) [0x7f31bb0bc844] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(message_search_msg+0xa8) [0x7f31bb0bedf8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xcf89e) [0x7f31bb25789e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_search_args_foreach+0x45) [0x7f31bb1d9445] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xd0774) [0x7f31bb258774] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xd1a68) [0x7f31bb259a68] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_storage_search_next_nonblock+0x61) [0x7f31bb25a0e1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_search_next_nonblock+0x28) [0x7f31bb1e2e58] -> dovecot/imap [user@domain 1.2.3.4 UID SORT](+0x2691f) [0x559347dc891f] -> dovecot/imap [user@domain 1.2.3.4 UID SORT](command_exec+0x70) [0x559347dc1d80] -> dovecot/imap [user@domain 1.2.3.4 UID SORT](+0x25ed2) [0x559347dc7ed2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handle_timeouts+0x111) [0x7f31bb0ea8f1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xd0) [0x7f31bb0ec070] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x4c) [0x7f31bb0eab7c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x40) [0x7f31bb0eace0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f31bb06b0d3] -> dovecot/imap [user@domain 1.2.3.4 UID SORT](main+0x325) [0x559347db2bf5] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xeb) [0x7f31bae5609b] -> dovecot/imap [user@domain 1.2.3.4 UID SORT](_start+0x2a) [0x559347db2d8a] 2020-12-09T07:53:26.917634+01:00 vhermes dovecot: imap(user@domain)<5426><cv8ehAK2npZX7MQb>: Fatal: master: service(imap): child 5426 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled - https://dovecot.org/bugreport.html#coredumps) Seems that last problem is solved (if same) https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/a668d767a710ca18ab6e7177d8e8be22a6b0… Thank you for any help -- Lampa

Question about login_log_format_elements in a proxy environment
by Adi Pircalabu 08 Dec '20

08 Dec '20

Hi, I have a Dovecot proxy setup with several proxy machines (currently running 2.3.11.3) in front of the real Dovecot servers (2.3.10.1) storing the mailboxes. "doveconf -a | egrep lip" returns: login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c session=<%{session}> In the real server maillog I'm expecting to have "lip" replaced with the IP address of the proxy. It works as expected for imap-login processes, however for pop3-login processes I still see the real server IP instead of the proxy IP. Ideas? Regards, -- Adi Pircalabu

dovecot/imap killed with signal 6 after SEARCH in specific mailbox
by Jiri 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Hi All, on my older production server (Deb9 dovecot version 2.2.27-3+deb9u6) a client reported that searching text in one mailbox failed while other mailboxes do search ok. He is using Rouddcube webmail and is searching the whole messages including the body. Errorlog shows panic and assertion failed logs. So I'v moved the 'problematic' mailbox to my latest production server (Deb10 2.3.4.1-5+deb10u4 = 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4)) where I have more RAM to eliminate that and the same error appeared. There is nothing special about the mailbox, roughly 600MiB and 2200 messges. Other much larger mailboxes on the same server do search fine. After turning on imap logging in Roundcube mail, the critical command was: A0004 UID SEARCH RETURN (ALL) TEXT whatever I increased default_process_limit and default_client_limit, I run: doveadm index -u ttt(a)mail2.swpraha.cz -q INBOX but didn't help. I used the gdb method to reproduce it and to get the whole info including backtrace: vmail@s6mail:~$ gdb --args /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -u ttt(a)mail2.swpraha.cz (gdb) r Starting program: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap -u ttt(a)mail2.swpraha.cz process 4458 is executing new program: /usr/bin/doveconf process 4458 is executing new program: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE SNIPPET=FUZZY LITERAL+ NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE QUOTA] Logged in as ttt(a)mail2.swpraha.cz a select INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $MDNSent Junk $Forwarded NonJunk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft $MDNSent Junk $Forwarded NonJunk \*)] Flags permitted. * 682 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 639] First unseen. * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1147771637] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 104487] Predicted next UID * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 53108] Highest a OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed (0.002 + 0.000 + 0.001 secs).

logging in to postfixadmin failed probably because of a dovecot error
by peacecop kalmer: 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

I can’t log in to postfixadmin anymore. It says that the username or password is incorrect. It can’t be incorrect as I’ve stored them in Google and “Chrome”. I have two admin accounts and none of them can’t be used for logging in. So I changed the main password with “setup.php” and copied that hash into the configuration file. Then, I deleted one of the admin accounts directly in the database from the table “admin”. Finally, I tried to recreate that deleted admin account using “setup.php”. I get the following error message: “can’t encrypt password with dovecotpw, see error log for details”. I had a look into the error log file of postfixadmin and found these complaints: [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.551048 2020] [authz_core:debug] [pid 30540] mod_authz_core.c(809): [client 192.168.1.65:54948] AH01626: authorization result of Require all granted: granted, referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.551070 2020] [authz_core:debug] [pid 30540] mod_authz_core.c(809): [client 192.168.1.65:54948] AH01626: authorization result of : granted, referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.551280 2020] [php7:warn] [pid 30540] [client 192.168.1.65:54948] PHP Warning: Cannot assign an empty string to a string offset in /usr/share/postfixadmin/variables.inc.php on line 31, referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.568128 2020] [php7:notice] [pid 30540] [client 192.168.1.65:54948] dovecotpw password encryption failed., referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.568155 2020] [php7:notice] [pid 30540] [client 192.168.1.65:54948] STDERR output: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 13: ssl_cert: Can't open file /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.tennis24.ee/fullchain.pem: Permission denied\n, referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php [Wed Dec 02 02:33:37.568897 2020] [deflate:debug] [pid 30540] mod_deflate.c(854): [client 192.168.1.65:54948] AH01384: Zlib: Compressed 1320 to 732 : URL /setup.php, referer:https://postfixadmin.tennis24.ee/setup.php Is the issue connected to the permission problem?

http pipelining on auth_policy_server
by Adrian M 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Hi, I'm curious to know if dovecot can be configured to do pipelining for auth_policy in order to use less connection to the server and keep them for longer. I'm working on making a small policy server and the lack of persistent connections is a cause of overhead. Thank you !

[patch] enhancement for adding limits to solr and tika parsing
by John Fawcett 07 Dec '20

07 Dec '20

Hi As mentioned in a previous thread, the solr + tika combination has caused me some issues due to attachment size. While tika seems to be able to parse large attachments, the resulting volume of text can overwhelm the solr server. One solution would be to throw resources at the problem, but in my case such large attachments don't contain anything worthwile indexing. Additionally I don't want people to be able to randomly crash my solr server by sending large compressed attachments that expand into huge volumes for solr. It's also a safety feature to have sane limits on what can be indexed. Attached is a first attempt to address the problem. I did not find a way to easily get actual attachment sizes, so I used an already available information - the overall message size. It may not be ideal but at least introduces limits where none existed. I have introduced two new parameters for the plugin section, for example: plugin { fts_max_size = 2M fts_max_size_tika = 1M } They can be used separately or together. Both sizes refer to the overall message size. The meaning is: fts_max_size - do not parse message bodies if the message size exceeds this value. A value of 0 indicates no limit. If the message body is not parsed, attachments are also not parsed. fts_max_size_tika - do not parse message attachments with tika if the message size exceeds this value. A value of 0 indicates no limit. If using both settings it makes sense to have fts_max_size > fts_max_size_tika, since with a smaller fts_max_size bodies are not indexed including attachments and the fts_max_size_tika will have no effect. The difference (ft_max_size - fts_max_size_tika) places an upper bound on the size of the non attachment body text that will be indexed. However, any attachments over the fts_size will automatically consume this limit and no body text will be indexed for those messages. I've only updated the tika parser not the script parser though the script parser potentially could benefit from this approach. The attached patch also includes the rolled up patch for using basic auth with the tika server and the previous posted patch (not mine) which solves an assert when using solr and tika together. John

Unfortunately, the issue still persists even with this patch.

quota-status for outgoing mail (Dovecot/Postfix)
by Peter Folta 06 Dec '20

06 Dec '20

[Dovecot version 2.3.11.3 (502c39af9)] Hi all, I’m using Dovecot’s quota-status service to let Postfix check the recipient’s quota before accepting emails following the guide here: https://blog.sys4.de/postfix-dovecot-mailbox-quota-en.html <https://blog.sys4.de/postfix-dovecot-mailbox-quota-en.html>. This works well for inbound emails. I would like to set up something similar for outbound email, i.e. if a user is over quota, they should not be allowed to send new emails. At the moment, the setup is in a bit of an inconsistent state: Users that have exceeded their quota are still able to send outbound emails but saving them in their Sent folder will fail leaving them without a copy. I have tried using Dovecot’s quota-status in Postfix’s smtpd_send_restrictions but didn’t get this to work. A quick look at the Dovecot source code seems to suggest that the quota-status plugin is only checking the recipient address: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/plugins/quota/quota-status.… <https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/plugins/quota/quota-status.…> and https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/plugins/quota/quota-status.… <https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/plugins/quota/quota-status.…>. I suspect it’s not possible to use the quota-status service to control outbound email but thought I’d ask to confirm. I’m wondering if there’s a different way to achieve this? Thanks Peter

Files in tmp directory
by David Morsberger 05 Dec '20

05 Dec '20

I had to restore many thousands of dovecot emails from a crashed Mac Server to a new Ubuntu server. After completing I am noticing a few things that may be okay or may need to be fixed. 1) a couple of mailboxes have a lot (one has 102462) emails in the tmp directory. The files do not have the standard Mairdir++ filename format. An example: 1581262582.M397740P72267.mini.mmpcrofton.com <http://1581262582.m397740p72267.mini.mmpcrofton.com/> (missing the stuff at the end, ,S=,W=:2,S) 2) I see files in the cur directory that do not have the Maildir++ format. An example: 1601287326.V810Ie80087M240104.mmp-mail.mmpcrofton.com:2,S. (do not have the ,S=,W= values and the second value, V810Ie80087M240104, is longer that the other file names) How do I get the emails in (1) out of tmp? Do I need to convert the emails in (2)? David
