[Dovecot] Index error copying compressed message
by Richard Platel 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi. Dovecot 2.2, with the zlib plugin, I think we're getting bad index entries on IMAP COPY. On copying a message to an empty folder, in the dovecot error log I see: Sep 19 20:34:25 imap01 dovecot: imap(grain(a)rp-auth-test.com): Error: Cached message size smaller than expected (615 < 971) Sep 19 20:34:25 imap01 dovecot: imap(grain(a)rp-auth-test.com): Error: Corrupted index cache file /mail/index01/434/860/grain(a)rp-auth-test.com/.Bup/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail UID 0 Sep 19 20:34:25 imap01 dovecot: imap(grain(a)rp-auth-test.com): Error: read() failed: Invalid argument (uid=0) (Note this happens from the copy operation, not a subsequent access.

[Dovecot] Released Pigeonhole v0.4.2 for Dovecot v2.2.6 and Pigeonhole v0.3.6 for Dovecot v2.1.17.
by Stephan Bosch 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hello Dovecot users, Now that Dovecot v2.2.6 is released, I can release a new Pigeonhole. Due to the SO_REUSEPORT changes in Dovecot, this Pigeonhole release will not compile cleanly against older Dovecot releases. This release is mainly about bugfixes. I also made a new release for Dovecot v2.1.17 that includes most of these fixes and some older ones. A word of warning for people using doveadm sync in combination with sieve: make sure you update both sides of the replication to avoid problems after upgrade. The attribute sub-tree under which Sieve scripts are replicated has moved to a different root. Since we expect that very few people are affected, there is no facility for backwards compatibility. This is no problem as long as both sides are upgraded. There is one new feature for the Sieve vacation extension. Normally vacation replies are sent with <> sender to prevent mail loops. A setting is provided to override this behavior (doc/extensions/vacation.txt), as requested on the mailing list. This is not a violation of the specification, but use this with care. Changelog v0.4.2: * Incompatible change in Sieve doveadm plugin: the root attribute for Sieve scripts is changed. Make sure that you update both sides of a dsync setup simultaneously when Sieve is involved, otherwise synchronization will likely fail. + Added support for sending Sieve vacation replies with an actual sender, rather than the default <> sender. Check the updated doc/extensions/vacation.txt for more information. - Fixed a binary code read problem in the `set' command of the Sieve variables extension. Using the set command with a modifier and an empty string value would cause code corruption problems while running the script. - Various fixes for doveadm-sieve plugin, mostly crashes. These include a fix for the `Invalid value for default sieve attribute' problem. - Various fixes for compiler and static analyzer warnings, e.g. as reported by CLang and on 32 bit systems. - Fixed the implementation of the new :options flag for the Sieve include extension. - Fixed potential segfault bug at deinitialization of the lda-sieve plugin. - Fixed messed up hex output for sieve-dump tool. Changelog v0.3.6: - Fixed a binary code read problem in the `set' command of the Sieve variables extension. Using the set command with a modifier and an empty string value would cause code corruption problems while running the script. - Various fixes for compiler and static analyzer warnings, as reported by CLang. - ManageSieve: Fixed '[' ']' stupidity for response codes (only happened before login). - Fixed setting name in example-config/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf. - Fixed messed up hex output for sieve-dump tool. The releases are available as follows: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.2.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.2.tar.gz.sig http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.1/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.6.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.1/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.6.tar.gz.sig Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

[Dovecot] Strange errors with imapc+acl in 2.2.x
by René Neumann 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Hi, after migrating to 2.2 (currently using 2.2.5), I see strange error messages when using imapc + public namespace + acl My setup: I create a public shared mailbox with imapc as location. Then I restrict this mailbox to one user only using ACLs. This works for this one special user, but for all others an error gets logged and they can't access their mailbox anymore: Sep 24 18:09:46 [dovecot] imap(other(a)my.domain): Error: user other(a)my.domain: Initialization failed: Namespace 'Gemeinsam.': Ambiguous mail location setting, don't know what to do with it: yes (try prefixing it with mbox: or maildir:) Sep 24 18:09:46 [dovecot] imap(other(a)my.domain): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. My config (relevant parts): ------------------ Dovecot conf ---------------- imapc_host = some_host imapc_port = 143 imapc_user = some_user imapc_password = some3$pwd imapc_ssl = starttls imapc_ssl_verify = no namespace gemeinsam { type = public separator = . location = imapc: prefix = Gemeinsam. subscriptions = no } # I also tried different combinations of hidden and list plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300 } ------------- /etc/dovecot/global-acls/Gemeinsam ------- anyone user=special(a)my.domain lrwstipekxa -------------------------------------------------------- Does anyone have any thoughts about this? Thanks, René

[Dovecot] Dovecot extremely slow!
by Patricio Rojo 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Please help, Dovecot is running extremely slow for the last couple of weeks and it seems to be getting worse (or my patience running short). I attach the 10-master configuration and the log file after running strace according to: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/ProcessTracing I can click on an email and wait for a minute or more before receiving a connection dropped or no error at all. I use many clients (thunderbird, windows 8 mail, maildroid for android, squirrelmail) and they all have similar behavior. It happens both in the inbox and on imap subfolders. Sometimes it helps changing subfolders back and forth. I have many imap folders organized in up to 3 levels of subfolders and use postfix for delivery. Let me know any other info you require. Thanks!

[Dovecot] Courier migration and vpopmail with dovecot-lda
by Charles Sprickman 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

I've been using Dovecot in some fresh installs lately and have found it fairly easy to configure. However I'm starting on a migration that involves moving from some very old software (ancient vpopmail, qmail and Courier). On the Courier front, I've reviewed the migration page in the wiki, and it looks like the main concerns are just matching the namespace and then using the migration script to create new subscription and uidlist files. Given that my Courier IMAP setup is so old (4.0.6), is there anything to be aware of that's not covered in the wiki due to the age of Courier here? Are there any other general issues to be aware of as far as interactions with MUAs are concerned? For example, if Courier has been presenting the user's MUA with a given set of IMAP capabilities and then the MUA sees a bunch of extra capabilities on a subsequent login, will that trigger any strange behavior? And lastly on this subject, I will obviously be doing some testing before cutting over to the other server. Is it valid in something like Thunderbird to have it pointed to "imap.domain.com" and then change the imap server to point to something like "testimap.domain.com" for testing whether subscriptions and the uidlists are working as expected or should I fully replicate the move as an end user would see it by making the change in my local hosts file? Now, assuming that portion of the move goes alright, I'm incredibly confused about getting Dovecot and Vpopmail working together. I assume that initially I can stick with the Maildir++ mailbox format and let vpopmail's vdelivermail continue working as my LDA - vdelivermail understands how to find the user's Maildir, it can check quotas, and it can update the maildirsize file (which I'm assuming dovecot can also read and then report quota/usage to an IMAP client). However it does look like the Dovecot-only mailbox format(s) will offer much better performance than Maildir as the two dbox formats are the only supported mailbox formats with separate index files, correct? Is there any guidance on how to use dovecot's LDA with a virtual mail system such as vpopmail? From what I've read so far, I probably don't want to use the vpopmail extension supplied with dovecot, but query the mysql vpopmail db directly. I'm finding a ton of info while searching for this, but most deals with older versions of dovecot, and there are also many "this works but I don't know why" tutorials on combining dovecot and vpopmail and dovecot's own LDA. I'm not even able to guess how one handles the per-user .qmail files in vpopmail if not using vdelivermail (this is where we enable/disable spam filtering by piping the message through spamc). Any input on the overall migration process is appreciated. It's a bit overwhelming as I have to deal with a big jump in the vpopmail version, rebuilding qmail with a ridiculous number of patches, and then on top of that a migration to new imap/pop server software. eek.

managesieve has gone mad. One person went on holiday when he came back his out of office would not switch off, then it replicated it's self into two other users (the vacation noticE) and started to be sent out for them and those users had never set up an out of office or looted into round cube. even deleting the vacation notice did not stop it, but if we put another vacation notice in then the new one is sent out, if we disable the new one then the old one is sent out…. mad…. how can I refresh the whole thing and start again… ? I am running this on 10.8.4 mountain lion server and I can't stop sieve… I have looked in the /Library/Server/Mail/Data/rules/USERFOLDER and removed all sieve files I have looked in each users mailbox but no seve files there… I have restarted and still sieve will not stop sending out emails…. yesterday it went crazy sending a mail a second from one mailbox back to it's self…. help….. osx 10.8 server using latest roundcube with managesieve plugin.... bash-3.2# ps -aef|grep dovecot 0 27481 1 0 12:07am ??

[Dovecot] Grant access for Unix-User _and_ virtual Users
by marco 26 Sep '13

Hi group, I have installed a postfix as an MTA and configured two "main" domains as well as two virtual mailbox domains. Normal unix users have their maildir in their homes (/home/%u) and the virtual mailboxes are located in /var/mail/vhosts. It works well, I only have a problem configuring dovecot. I wondered if it's possible to configure it in a way that both, unix users and virtual users, can access their mailboxes. I found some tutorials but they either give access to the "normal" unix users or to virtual users who are defined in a text file. Here some system infos: - Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (Kernel Version: 3.2.0-23) - Dovecot Version: 2.0.19 Hope you understand my problem. Cheers, Marco PS: It's the very first time I use a mailing list, so I hope you can forgive me possible beginner's mistakes.
