[Dovecot] IMAP Client Not Recieving Email (DoveCot + PostFix + IMAP Client)
by ShepN 04 Apr '11

- Postfix is doing its job sending and receiving email. It puts the email in the unix user mailboxes (MBOX). - My Outlook client is authenticating with DoveCot using IMAP protocol without issue.

[Dovecot] Dsync & random delete problem
by Antoine Millet 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hello, I've updated my home mail server with dovecot 2.0.11 with idea of using dsync to synchronize two master servers (one at home behind an ADSL connection, and another in a DC with a gigabit connection). Dsync is launched every minutes by a cron job for each hosted mailboxes (in Maildir format). Obviously, a lock prevents to launch more than one dsync process at time. On a test mailbox, it worked perfectly, but when I decided to use it on my own mailbox: big drama :-). Some trashed messages reappear after the next sync, by dint of insisting, sometime it are duplicated. Occasionally, the synchronization has the desired effect, but messages reappear few hours later... So, my questions are: * Dsync is it supposed to be used to synchronize two mailboxes on continuously? * Are these problems known? I've found one thread about a random delete problem, so it seem to be? Do you need more informations to debug it? My informations: * Dovecot version: 2.0.11 * Distro: Debian Squeeze amd64 * FS: ext4 * Mailbox format: Maildir * Dsync command: "dsync -u {account} mirror ssh -i /var/vmail/sync/id_vmail -C {dest} dsync -u {account}" * Bug happen randomly, I haven't found a way to reproduce it. * Dovecot configuration: A part in particular is interesting? Thanks in advance, -- Antoine Millet http://inaps.org

[Dovecot] SiS: Attachment file larger than expected

I recently set up SiS and imported a large chunk of mail.

[Dovecot] doveadm mailbox status - getting the size in bytes
by Patrick McLean 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi, doveadm has an option to get the "vsize" of mailboxes, which is calculated by counting the number of linefeeds, but there does not appear to be way to simply get the size in bytes of a mailbox. I was wondering if there is something I am missing (I am using mdbox), or if not is it possible to implement this. Thanks

[Dovecot] dovecot ldap failed to recover
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

One of our backend pop/imap-server running dovecot v1.2.16 experienced some problems yesterday. It suddenly couldn't authenticate users anymore, flooding the logs with: pop3-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<user1(a)example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.42.15, lip=192.168.42.28 The problem seemed to start with this log entry: Mar 29 18:57:21 popimap1 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(userX(a)example.com,192.168.42.15): Connection appears to be hanging, reconnecting and this suspicious entry a few seconds later: Mar 29 18:57:41 popimap1 dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: Reply with unknown msgid 2 Afterward 18:57:21 it was unable to authenticate any users before I restarted the dovecot service. Also some of our postfix servers reported ldap lookup failures between 18:56-18:58, but then recovered. Looking at the ldap server side, we saw no problems logged, but netstat reports there being 3 active ldap sessions towards the dovecot server that failed yesterday, while the dovecot server only has 1: ldap1$ netstat -na |grep 192.168.42.28 tcp 0 0 192.168.43.2:389 192.168.42.28:44408 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 192.168.43.2:389 192.168.42.28:36464 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 192.168.43.2:389 192.168.42.28:60580 ESTABLISHED popimap1$ netstat -na| grep 192.168.43.2 tcp 0 0 192.168.42.28:60580 192.168.43.2:389 ESTABLISHED So it looks to us like there was some problem with either the network, or the ldap-server for a short periode, and that dovecot then wasn't able to recover from this. -jf

[Dovecot] install question
by Gerard Ranke 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Dear list, I'm trying to build a dovecot-2.0.11 package for our systems, and so I would like to install it to a temporary directory. But when I use "gmake DESTDIR=/tmp/build install", instead of binaries, it's wrapper scripts that get installed for dovecot, doveconf and doveadm. When I install to the default location all is well. Does anybody know how how to install to a temp location? Thanks in advance for your answer! Best regards, Gerard Ranke
