[Dovecot] Possible mbox corruption if mail is saved with wrong Content-Length header (2.1.6)
by Jost Krieger 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

One of our users likes to delete attachments from his mails. He is using roundcube and we installed a plugin for that. He reports that from time to time one of his mails gets corrupted (cut off in the middle). I could verify there is something wrong in the logs: imap(x1234567): Error: Cached message size larger than expected (6796 > 2844) imap(x1234567): Error: Corrupted index cache file /net/mbx3/disc2/home/85/x1234567/Index/.imap/Sent/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical size for mail … [View More]UID 5001 imap(x1234567): Error: read(/net/mbx3/disc2/home/85/x1234567/Mail/Sent) failed: Input/output error (FETCH for mailbox Sent UID 5001) imap(x1234567): Info: Disconnected: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2012-08-23 00:00:49] in=1124145 out=1324791 I had a look at the plugin and it works by duplicating the message and leaving out the attachment(s). The headers are also duplicated, including Content-Length. I've fixed that in the plugin, (don't know yet if it helps), but I think it shouldn't cause such breakage in dovecot. # doveconf -n # 2.1.6: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.9-103.ELsmp i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 9) doveconf: Warning: Dovecot was last started using /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf, but this config is /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf auth_master_user_separator = * disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = (hidden) lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes log_path = /dev/stderr log_timestamp = mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=~/Mailbox:INDEX=~/Index mail_plugins = " quota zlib mail_log notify virtual" mdbox_rotate_size = 5 M namespace { hidden = no inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes inbox = no list = children location = maildir:~/Maildir prefix = "#MD/" separator = / type = private } passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/passwd.dovcot.master driver = passwd-file master = yes } plugin { acl = vfile mail_log_events = undelete mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mailbox_create mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size quota = fs:Disk quota } protocols = pop3 imap service auth { client_limit = 4300 user = root } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 542 } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 134.147.64.42 port = 143 } service_count = 0 } service imap { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 4096 vsz_limit = 1 G } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { address = 134.147.64.42 port = 110 } service_count = 0 } service pop3 { drop_priv_before_exec = yes process_limit = 2048 vsz_limit = 512 M } ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = " quota zlib mail_log notify virtual imap_quota imap_zlib" } Thanks Jost Krieger -- | Helft Spam ausrotten!

[Dovecot] best way to activate quota
by Angel L. Mateo 14 Sep '12

14 Sep '12

Hello, I'm planning to activate quota control in dovecot, with maildir quota backend. I have about 70k users in my system directed to 4 backend servers (with a director to ensure that a user is always directed to the same server). I have tried to activate it in one of my nodes. The problem is that load of it has increase a lot, as much as the system was unusable (maildir is in nfs storage, with indexes in local disks). What do you think is the best to activate it?

[Dovecot] antispam_plugin prevents IMAP login (error 3) [Dovecot 2.0.19]
by dof＠projektfabrik.com 13 Sep '12

13 Sep '12

Hi everybody, trying to get the Dovecot antispam_plugin to work and I must be doing something wrong, because as soon as it is enabled with a certain backend, imap logins do not work anymore (the session is immediately closed after a successful login). Interestingly, pipe and spool2dir are working (that is, the session won't be closed), dspam-exec and crm114-exec are not. If this happens, mail_debug output is as follows: imap-login: Login: user=<dof>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, … [View More] lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=10420, secured imap: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_autocreate_plugin.so imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_fts_plugin.so imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib21_fts_squat_plugin.so imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib90_antispam_plugin.so imap(dof): Debug: Effective uid=23244, gid=8, home=/var/spool/dovecot/userdata/dof imap(dof): Debug: Home dir not found: /var/spool/dovecot/userdata/dof master: Error: service(imap): child 10420 returned error 3 Without the plugin I get: imap-login: Login: user=<dof>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=10469, secured imap: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_autocreate_plugin.so imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib20_fts_plugin.so imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib21_fts_squat_plugin.so imap(dof): Debug: Effective uid=23244, gid=8, home=/var/spool/dovecot/userdata/dof imap(dof): Debug: Home dir not found: /var/spool/dovecot/userdata/dof imap(dof): Debug: fs: root=/var/spool/dovecot/mail/dof, index=, control=, inbox=/var/spool/dovecot/mail/dof/INBOX, alt= imap(dof): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /var/spool/dovecot/mail/dof: mode=0755 gid=-1 Hopefully this is just a configuration problem.
