Panic: file ostream-zlib.c
by Bouke J. Henstra | ICT Diensten 24 May '21

Hello, At the moment I am investigating an issue (probably) related to Dovecot /zlib. I am hoping someone is willing to help. Thanks. #Background information Every time a certain user checked her e-mail the following errors would appear in "/var/log/mail.err" (please find the lines below). I am using zlib (please find the details in the configuration below). I did include the Dovecot version, OS details, CPU details and file system details in this message. I did migrate the whole mail domain to Microsoft 365 (as the user has an active subscription and had to move on - for me this was the fastest method to help the user in this case). The mailbox still exists on the server. I suspect there's file corruption somewhere? I am routing mail from the domain to xxxxx-xx.mail.protection.outlook.com (just to be sure that the user doesn't miss anything - mx records have been updated). I did notice that the user had issues with receiving mail. Outlook would keep trying to fetch mail and was hard to close (user had to kill Outlook through the task manager - after migrating to Microsoft 365 this problem is resolved too). I would like to find out what causes/caused this problem. I would like to understand the problem and would like to try to avoid future problems. I did run "dovecot-sysreport" but I did notice the data is not anonymized. I can anonymize the details and submit those if required. #Dovcecot version root@s1:/# dovecot --version 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4) #Operating system root@s1:/# uname -a Linux s1 4.19.0-16-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.181-1 (2021-03-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux root@s1:/# cat /etc/debian_version 10.9 #CPU Architecture root@s1:/# lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian #File System ext4 errors=continue,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 1 #Errors May 17 22:37:11 s1 dovecot: imap(xxxx(a)xxxxx.xx)<18570><MxyEjIzCs8pSoYVo>: Panic: file ostream-zlib.c: line 37 (o_stream_zlib_close): assertion failed: (zstream->ostream.finished || zstream->ostream.ostream.stream_errno != 0 || zstream->ostream.error_handling_disabled) May 17 22:37:11 s1 dovecot: imap(xxxx(a)xxxxx.xx)<18570><MxyEjIzCs8pSoYVo>: Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xdb73b) [0x7f45c109973b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xdb7d1) [0x7f45c10997d1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4a199) [0x7f45c1008199] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_zlib_plugin.so(+0x3c6f) [0x7f45c0dc3c6f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0xffd5e) [0x7f45c10bdd5e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(o_stream_destroy+0x16) [0x7f45c10bdd86] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_save_finish+0x18d) [0x7f45c11d046d] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_save_cancel+0x4d) [0x7f45c11a867d] -> dovecot/imap(+0x10f36) [0x5606b3187f36] -> dovecot/imap(+0x10ff3) [0x5606b3187ff3] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x6f) [0x7f45c10afbef] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x136) [0x7f45c10b11e6] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x4c) [0x7f45c10afc8c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x40) [0x7f45c10afdf0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f45c1030123] -> dovecot/imap(main+0x325) [0x5606b3187bf5] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xeb) [0x7f45c0e1309b] -> dovecot/imap(_start+0x2a) [0x5606b3187d8a] May 17 22:37:11 s1 dovecot: imap(xxxx(a)xxxxx.xx)<18570><MxyEjIzCs8pSoYVo>: Fatal: master: service(imap): child 18570 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled -

Dovecot Subfolder Always Uses dot separator with mdbox
by Steven Smith 22 May '21

22 May '21

I’m trying to configure dovecot to use mailbox subfolders that look like both foo/bar on the IMAP client and the filesystem. But the subfolders created all look like foo.bar, not foo/bar with a proper nesting structure. This also happens when the folder ‘bar’ is moved into the folder ‘foo’—A new folder `foo.bar’ is created. I believe that i’m following the configuration rules at https://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir#Maildir_and_filesystems and https://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir.

Dovecot v2.3.13 reporting (very) incorrect vsize for some maildir folders
by Eirik Rye 22 May '21

22 May '21

Hello! Dovecot v2.3.13. Full, but anonymized, `doveconf -n` attached. We are in the process of migrating maildir-backed users from filesystem quotes, to using dovecot's "count" quota backend. This is not reflected in the doveconf output because we're overriding `quota`, `quota_rule` and `quota_vsizes` in userdb: {"quota":"count:User quota","quota_rule":"*:storage=15G","quota_vsizes":"yes"} Afterwards, for a couple users, we received reports that mail delivery had failed because they were over quota. When looking into it for a specific user, we noticed that the vsize reported for a particular folder (with 47k messages) was reported as being nearly 50 times larger than it's on-disk size: root@mail02:~# doveadm mailbox status -u anonymized_user 'messages recent unseen vsize' 'anonymized/folder/name' [...] anonymized/folder/name messages=47338 recent=0 unseen=0 vsize=14335366070 However, the filesystem itself reports a much smaller size (but correct message count): root@mail02:~# du -hd1 /home/anonymized_user/Maildir/.anonymized.folder.name/ 313M /home/anonymized_user/Maildir/.anonymized.folder.name/cur 36K /home/anonymized_user/Maildir/.anonymized.folder.name/tmp 4.0K /home/anonymized_user/Maildir/.anonymized.folder.name/new 320M /home/anonymized_user/Maildir/.anonymized.folder.name/ root@mail02:~# ls /home/anonymized_user/Maildir/.anonymized.folder.name/cur | wc -l 47338 I have tried: - `doveadm force-resync -u anonymized_user` - deleting the index files in the specific folder, and running `doveadm index -u anonymized_user '*'` as well as `doveadm mailbox status -u anonymized_user vsize '*'` - deleting all `*index*` files in maildir, and running `doveadm index -u anonymized_user '*'` as well as `doveadm mailbox status -u anonymized_user vsize '*'` - comparing all maildir-sizes (S=) with their actual sizes to see if there are discrepancies. There are none. - regardless of the above, set `maildir_broken_filename_sizes = yes`, deleted indexes and reindexed. Even after deleting the list index (dovecot.list.index) as well as the mailbox indexes, recalculating the vsize seems very quick so I feel like the incorrect vsize is being fetched from a cache somewhere instead of being recalculated..? Any idea what is causing dovecot to report this wildly incorrect mailbox size? Are there any other files (not matching `*index*`) that are responsible? I'd rather not touch the user's control files, for obvious reasons. On a side note: We're also experiencing some issues with `mail_vsize_bg_after_count`. It seems to work correctly by returning a temporary error and deferring to a background job, but the indexer-worker job often times never appears to start (or do anything) at all: dovecot 29622 0.0 0.0 4120 1124 ? S 15:22 0:00 dovecot/indexer [0 clients, 0 requests] 266248 29623 0.0 0.0 6008 4604 ? S 15:22 0:00 dovecot/indexer-worker [idling] Waiting a while, and attempting to refetch the quota returns the same temperror with no indexer-worker being started. However, this is a separate issue from the above and can be ignored for now. Best regards, Eirik Rye

director & backend on same server with director_proxy_maybe
by lucas.raynaud＠ircf.fr 21 May '21

21 May '21

Hello, I've 2 mail servers, as test server, with dovecot as backend and setup pop3 and imap connections and NFS. For prevent issues with simultaneous connections I want to setup up Director on the same VM and on the same instance as the backend Dovecot. I found in the documentation that this configuration is broken, but can work with development, and after research on the internet and on the questions encountered previously as on : https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2015-July/101483.html https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2011-September/130939.html https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2012-June/136535.html I find it quite unclear if this is really possible with director_proxy_maybe, which according to the changelog, allows this setup to work. Today I've reached this level with those errors: IPs : mail4 : XX.XX.111.8 mail3 : XX.XX.51.247 doveadm director ring status director ip port type last failed status // on mail3 XX.XX.51.247 9090 self never synced XX.XX.111.8 9090 l+r never synced doveadm director status lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr Current: 5.196.111.8 (expires 2021-05-21 10:48:51) Hashed: 5.196.111.8 Initial config: login with lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr on mail4 mail log on mail4 May 21 10:51:52 mail4 dovecot: auth-worker(12917): Debug: sql(lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr,XX.XX.111.8,<4h3SK9PCYsIFxG8I>): query: SELECT password, 'y' as proxy_maybe, 'y' as director_proxy_maybe FROM mail_user WHERE (login = 'lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr' OR email = 'lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr') AND disableimap = 'n' AND server_id = '8' May 21 10:51:52 mail4 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0111#011user=lucas.raynaud@ircf.fr#011director_proxy_maybe=y#011lip=XX.XX.111.8#011lport=143#011proxy#011pass=x9Im.bprP!CWzbgQ May 21 10:51:52 mail4 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: Ignoring unknown passdb extra field: director_proxy_maybe May 21 10:51:52 mail4 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: Ignoring unknown passdb extra field: lip May 21 10:51:52 mail4 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: Ignoring unknown passdb extra field: lport May 21 10:51:52 mail4 dovecot: imap-login: Error: proxy: host not given: user=<lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr>, method=PLAIN, rip=XX.XX.111.8, lip=XX.XX.111.8, secured, session=<4h3SK9PCYsIFxG8I> May 21 10:51:52 mail4 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (internal failure, 1 successful auths): user=<lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr>, method=PLAIN, rip=XX.XX.111.8, lip=XX.XX.111.8, secured, session=<4h3SK9PCYsIFxG8I> no log on mail3 login with lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr on mail3 mail log on mail3 May 21 10:55:07 mail3 dovecot: auth-worker(19907): Debug: sql(lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr,XX.XX.51.247,<Hh5yN9PCRtAFxDP3>): query: SELECT password, 'y' as proxy_maybe, 'y' as director_proxy_maybe FROM mail_user WHERE (login = 'lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr' OR email = 'lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr') AND disableimap = 'n' AND server_id = '8' May 21 10:55:07 mail3 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0111#011user=lucas.raynaud@ircf.fr#011director_proxy_maybe=y#011lip=XX.XX.51.247#011lport=143#011proxy#011pass=x9Im.bprP!CWzbgQ May 21 10:55:07 mail3 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: Ignoring unknown passdb extra field: director_proxy_maybe May 21 10:55:07 mail3 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: Ignoring unknown passdb extra field: lip May 21 10:55:07 mail3 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: Ignoring unknown passdb extra field: lport May 21 10:55:07 mail3 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr): Login failed to XX.XX.111.8:143: [UNAVAILABLE] Account is temporarily unavailable.: user=<lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr>, method=PLAIN, rip=XX.XX.51.247, lip=XX.XX.51.247, secured, session=<Hh5yN9PCRtAFxDP3> May 21 10:55:07 mail3 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (proxy dest auth failed): user=<lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr>, method=PLAIN, rip=XX.XX.51.247, lip=XX.XX.51.247, secured, session=<Hh5yN9PCRtAFxDP3> mail log on mail4 May 21 10:55:07 mail4 dovecot: auth-worker(13096): Debug: sql(lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr,XX.XX.51.247,<rI10N9PCyKsFxDP3>): query: SELECT password, 'y' as proxy_maybe, 'y' as director_proxy_maybe FROM mail_user WHERE (login = 'lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr' OR email = 'lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr') AND disableimap = 'n' AND server_id = '8' May 21 10:55:07 mail4 dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK#0111#011user=lucas.raynaud@ircf.fr#011director_proxy_maybe=y#011lip=XX.XX.111.8#011lport=143#011proxy#011pass=x9Im.bprP!CWzbgQ May 21 10:55:07 mail4 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: Ignoring unknown passdb extra field: director_proxy_maybe May 21 10:55:07 mail4 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: Ignoring unknown passdb extra field: lip May 21 10:55:07 mail4 dovecot: imap-login: Debug: Ignoring unknown passdb extra field: lport May 21 10:55:07 mail4 dovecot: imap-login: Error: proxy: host not given: user=<lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr>, method=PLAIN, rip=XX.XX.51.247, lip=XX.XX.111.8, session=<rI10N9PCyKsFxDP3> May 21 10:55:07 mail4 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (internal failure, 1 successful auths): user=<lucas.raynaud(a)ircf.fr>, method=PLAIN, rip=XX.XX.51.247, lip=XX.XX.111.8, session=<rI10N9PCyKsFxDP3> sql query : password_query = SELECT password, 'y' as proxy_maybe, 'y' as director_proxy_maybe FROM mail_user WHERE (login = '%u' OR email = '%u') AND disable%Ls = 'n' AND server_id = '8' It seems that Director is working but not adding the "host" extra field when it should, also it's strange that the director_proxy_maybe is unknown.

Sendmail and Doecot
by Stephane Magnier 20 May '21

20 May '21

Hi, I am using Dovecot v 2.2.32 and Sendmail 8.15.2 My "folder" config on Dovecot is : mbox:/var/spool2/%u/mail:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u But in fact, any email arriving into the mailbox, stays in Sendmail into the file location (by default) : /var/spool/mail/user1 and any folder created, can be reached via Dovecot and is located to /var/spool2/user1 If I want to backup the user1's emails, I need to backup the "dovecot" location ( /var/spool2/user1) but also the Sendmail file location ( /var/spool/mail/user1) If I don't do that, I loose fresh emails which are still into the Sendmail directory, which are not copied into the Dovecot location.. Sounds weird I would expect to backup only my Dovecot directory and my email client should see only the Dovecot directory I would expect to have small sendmail email file user ( /var/spool/mail/user1 ) and i should't car about these files. Everything should be copied automatically into my Dovecot location what do you think ? Best regards, Stéve
