[Dovecot] Postfix, MySQL, Dovecot LDA and alias domains
by Darek M 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi there, I have a postfix/postfixadmin/mysql/dovecot install that was using 'virtual' for the LDA. I tried the 'dovecot' LDA to enable Sieve but ran into trouble with aliases. With domain "some-domain.com" being an alias to "somedomain.com", mail sent to *(a)somedomain.com would be delivered to the Maildir fine, but the 'dovecot' LDA tossed "unknown user" for anything sent to *(a)some-domain.com (the alias to the other domain). My dovecot.sql: driver = mysql connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=postfix user=dovecot password=dovecot user_query = SELECT concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' password_query = SELECT username as user, password, concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_mail, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' The problem is fairly simple: Dovecot isn't being told anything about the 'alias_domain' table that pairs alias domains with actual ones. So the question is: do I add a second "user_query" in dovecot.sql, or is there an "alias_query" directive, or similar? And does anyone have a query that would point an alias domain to the real maildir? - Darek

[Dovecot] Outlook problem
by Patric Falinder 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi, I have some problems that every time I start Outlook and retrieve my e-mails and then later tries to do it on my iPhone for example, I get some sort of problem that I can't get the mails. I searched around on the wiki and found the "outlook-no-nuls" and "outlook-idle" options, but where am I suppose to add them? I only have "pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv" in my "protocol pop3 {}" and it didn't work to add it to a new line there. Thanks, Patric

[Dovecot] "failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Not enough disk space." with large mail
by Johannes Dröge 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hello, I am having this error message on some rare emails with more than 6 mb or so. Neither the dovecot server nor the filesystem where the maildir resides have any quota or are full at the time of delivering. The mails goes getmail->postfix->dovecot delivery agent Is the mail written to any other place than the maildir folder? Even though all my temp folders should also be able to hold some megabytes... Thanks for any help, Johannes message: *sieve: info: started log at ... error: msgid=<XXX>: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Not enough disk space. * dovecot --version 1.2.10 dovecot -n # 1.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.4 xfs log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps ssl_cert_file: /etc/certificates/XXX ssl_key_file: /etc/certificates/XXX login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: XXX mail_access_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:/services/mail/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock lda: postmaster_address: root mail_plugins: sieve auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd plugin: sieve: /var/sieve-scripts/%u/filter.sieve

[Dovecot] New mailbox & autocreate
by Bambero 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi, First of all BIG THANKS for great piece of software. I have a small problem with autocreate. My mails are stored in: /var/mail Ex. /var/mail/test(a)test.pl/Maildir Account information comes from DB. So when new account appears in DB full path including home dir is created. But there is one small problem: Group always is "wheel". Autocreating ignores gid from DB and uses the group of the parent directory - in this case /var/mail. But when I create home dir manualy (setting right group) group of autocreated Maildir is OK. Is it possible to configure dovecot to set group from DB. Regards, Bambero

[Dovecot] Error: dict: Leaked a t_pop() call
by Brendan McCollam 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

I'm running dovecot 1.0.7 on CentOS 5.5, and I've configured it to work with PostfixAdmin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/) Everything seems to work great, except for one problem. Any time a user logs in, I get errors like the following Jun 19 02:21:59 ve dovecot: dict: Leaked a t_pop() call in I/O handler (nil) Jun 19 02:21:59 ve dovecot: dict: Raw backtrace: dict [0x40e85e] -> dict [0x40e5cc] -> dict(io_loop_handler_run+0x1c9) [0x411279] -> dict(io_loop_run+0x18) [0x4106b8] -> dict(main+0x139) [0x408509] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x2ab19ec13994] -> dict[0x407589] The only information I could find online was from this mailing list a few years back: http://copilotco.com/mail-archives/dovecot.2007/msg08975.html The response seems to be "nobody keeps their quota in MySQL", but the setup I'm using is what's recommended by the authors of PostfixAdmin: http://postfixadmin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/postfixadmin/trunk/DOCUMENTS… So, I guess my questions are these: 1) Is this error at all serious? Will it impact performance, or can it be safely ignored? 2) If it is something that should be addressed, do you think I would be better off trying to patch and recompile the 1.0.7 version, or just upgrading to a newer version of Dovecot (keeping in mind that 1.0.7 seems to be the latest available in CentOS repositories) Thank you for your time, and your outstanding software. -Brendan

Thanks for the information. I'm not trying to waste your time, and I wasn't really asking for 'help' per se, as much as simply a clear answer about whether that error was even worth worrying about. I'm well aware that 1.0.7 is a pretty old release, and you don't have much control over what the distro maintainers choose to package. Generally speaking, I think there are advantages (not introducing incompatibility with other software, simple dependency resolution, automatic security updates, etc.) to sticking with repo versions, unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise. In this case, the bugfixes and improvements in quota accuracy are a good reason to upgrade. > > Please download 1.2.12, the current stable release, however read the > release notes because some settings will be incompatible with 1.0.x. > there wont be too many differences but might be some, depending on your > setup. I have moved to 1.2.12 and updated my dovecot-dict-quota.conf file, and it seems to be working great. Thanks again.
