[Dovecot] Problem with DOVECOT - long authentication time
by Jacek Kowalski 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Hi all, I want to start new server with Postfix (I still have qmail ) and I think I have a problem with authentication in dovecot - it takes 3 seconds. Is this normal time?

[Dovecot] Dovecot IMAP is broken after upgrade from 2.1.2 to 2.1.3
by Michael Neubert 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

Hello, I just upgraded my servers from Dovecot 2.1.2 to Dovecot 2.1.3-0~auto+5 by using Debian binaries from "http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ stable-auto/dovecot-2.1 main". The config was not touched but now IMAP connections are not possible anymore (LMTP works fine). When I try to connect to a mailbox, the connect fails. Some log entries: ############################################################################################################### Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x10, ret=1: before/accept initialization [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: before/accept initialization [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv2/v3 read client hello A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=3431) Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client hello A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server hello A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write certificate A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write key exchange A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write server done A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 flush data [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client certificate A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=-1: SSLv3 read client certificate A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read client key exchange A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 read finished A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write session ticket A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write change cipher spec A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 write finished A [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2001, ret=1: SSLv3 flush data [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x20, ret=1: SSL negotiation finished successfully [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL: where=0x2002, ret=1: SSL negotiation finished successfully [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 auth: Debug: client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx lport=993 rport=51379 Mar 23 21:45:28 auth: Debug: client out: CONT 1 Mar 23 21:45:28 auth: Debug: client in: CONT 1 AG5lbWlAdmlzaXQtd29ybGQuZGUAUHJvNDUwLnN1 Mar 23 21:45:28 auth-worker(3433): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth Mar 23 21:45:28 auth-worker(3433): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Mar 23 21:45:28 auth-worker(3433): Info: mysql(zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz): Connected to database dovecot Mar 23 21:45:28 auth-worker(3433): Debug: sql(username,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): query: SELECT password, 'directory' AS userdb_home, 'mail' AS userdb_uid, 'mail' AS userdb_gid FROM users WHERE username = 'username' AND domain = 'domain' AND active = 'Y' Mar 23 21:45:28 auth: Debug: client out: OK 1 user=username Mar 23 21:45:28 auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 2286813185 3394 1 4727968fd3514dd45f623ad9f944e305 Mar 23 21:45:28 auth-worker(3433): Debug: sql(username,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): SELECT home, uid, gid FROM users WHERE username = 'username' AND domain = 'domain' Mar 23 21:45:28 auth: Debug: master out: USER 2286813185 username home=directory uid=8 gid=8 Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<username>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, mpid=3434, TLS Mar 23 21:45:28 imap-login: Warning: SSL alert: where=0x4008, ret=256: warning close notify [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Mar 23 21:45:28 imap(username): Info: Connection closed in=0 out=303 ############################################################################################################### The MySQL authentification seems to work fine, but after this the connection is closed with the SSL alert.

[Dovecot] dovecot-1.2.9: OK No messages copied
by Attila Sipos 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Hi, When I issue an IMAP copy command using the wrong UID, the server gives an "OK No messages copied" response. This seems like the wrong response to me. If the UID doesn't exist, then it should respond with a "No" response - maybe something like "NO - copy error: bad UID" I believe "OK No messages copied" would only be a suitable response if the email with the supplied UID had already been known to be copied successfully. I am using dovecot 1.2.9 - has this been fixed in newer versions of dovecot? Regards Attila Attila Sipos Netcall Telecom Ltd Registered in England 2831215.

[Dovecot] Many messages clustered around the same date.saved value
by Joseph Tam 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Subject: Different user messages clustered around the same date.saved value After updating dovecot to 2.1.3, I can now use "doveadm expunge -A ..." to iterate through all user trash folders and expunge old messages. However, I noticed a strange thing: querying what would have been deleted doveadm -ftab fetch -A "date.saved" mailbox Trash savedbefore 7d showed many date.saved values are clustered around the same timestamp, even among different user's Trash mailbox. One user's trash mailbox having the same date.saved is explained by a user deleting a lot of message at one time, but I can't explain why many different users would have messages with the same (or closeby) date.saved value. For example, the output of the above query on my system showed the 10s window /2012-03-05 18:08:0[0-9]/ matched 7658 messages among 22 different user Trash mailboxes, which is statistically unlikely. I did't see anything special in the dovecot logs at this time to explain this. What would cause this? Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] migrating mailboxes on dovecot
by Spyros Tsiolis 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

Hello all, I want to ask about something I never did before. I have a dovecot/XMail/LAMP/Horde installation on a CentOS 5.5 32-bit system with two domains : domainA and domainB All the users used to have their mailboxes on domainA. However the personell dept decided that 90% of the users will have to have their mailboxes set to domainB and the other 10% will stay at domainA. So, I need to migrate those mailboxes from domainA to domainB. The only thing is I haven't done that ever. The directory structure is : "/var/MailRoot/domains/domainX/Username/Maildir/" and under there the usual suspects : cur (directory) dovecot.index.cache (file) dovecot-keywords (file) dovecot-uidvalidity (file) new (directory) tmp (directory) dovecot.index (file) dovecot.index.log (file) dovecot-uidlist (file) dovecot-uidvalidity.4cc055c6 (file) subscriptions (file) Using dovecot v1.2.15 Any help would be appreciated. Iam supposed to do this today !! :-) Thank you all, s. ---- "I merely function as a channel that filters music through the chaos of noise" - Vangelis

[Dovecot] sysconfdir depreacted
by Noel Butler 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

The purpose of any build scripts --sysconfdir is to tell the configuration to build in a path for its binaries configuration file(s). Dovecot 2.1.3, seems to insist that that directory is now /etc/dovecot/ ignoring --sysconfdir=/etc as in 1.2.x and previous majors before that, is this a bug? if not, then I see no point of sysconfdir any more and it should be removed, if dovecot deliberately ignores what it is told to use.
