Trying to track down the source of a corrupted cache error
by Grant Keller 10 Dec '24

10 Dec '24

Recently we have been seeing a steady increase (nothing too crazy, just more than usual) in "Deleting corrupted cache record" log errors. What struck me as weird was that it would be for the same message over and over, indicating that the deleted record was making it back into the cache. Digging into one, I realized that the first error was actually this: Dec 4 19:08:59 b.imapd.sonic.net dovecot[2696]: imap(xxx): session=wnZqMH0oHOViI3NN Error: Mailbox INBOX: Maildir filename has wrong W value, renamed the file from /var/spool/mail/17/62/xxx/cur/1733363505.M428026P1491073.b.imapd.sonic.net,S=8966052,W=12155730:2, to /var/spool/mail/17/62/xxx/cur/1733363505.M428026P1491073.b.imapd.sonic.net,S=8966052:2, Dec 4 19:08:59 b.imapd.sonic.net dovecot[2696]: imap(xxx): session=wnZqMH0oHOViI3NN Error: Mailbox INBOX: Deleting corrupted cache record uid=6430670: UID 6430670: Broken virtual size in mailbox INBOX: read(/var/spool/mail/17/62/xxx/cur/1733363505.M428026P1491073.b.imapd.sonic.net,S=8966052,W=12155730:2,): FETCH BODY[]<11796480.393216> got too little data: 359249 vs 359250 Also worth noting that the emails themselves do have a highly unusual number of carriage returns. What causes this and is there a way to fix it besides deleting the offending message?

Info on 'sieve_pipe_bin_dir' needed
by leo1subscr＠zudiewiener.com 06 Dec '24

06 Dec '24

I'm trying to follow the instruction https://doc.dovecot.org/2.3/configuration_manual/howto/antispam_with_sieve/ to setup IMAPSieve I cannot find any info on what sieve_pipe_bin_dir should point to. Any references I have found to this point to the old wiki. My current spam learning sieve scripts are in file:/home/vmail/sieve/global/ Should sieve_pipe_bin_dir point to this? Thanks, Leo

Dovecot IMAP Mail latency
by tamilarasan_ext＠iomd.info 05 Dec '24

05 Dec '24

We are working on importing emails from Gmail to Dovecot. During the process, all emails are written to a new directory within the mail folder. For fetching the emails, we are using the IMAP protocol with the imap_tools Python library. After importing, we run the IMAP fetch at 5-second intervals. However, the newly imported emails do not appear immediately. They only become available after 30 to 40 seconds. How can we resolve this issue? What steps can we take to debug and identify the source of the delay?

Migrating GMail to Dovecot using imapc

Dear Dovecot community, I try to migrate a GMail mailbox to Dovecot using `doveadm backup -R imapc:`. Since it seems that GMail disabled the login without XOAUTH2, I cannot figure out how to authenticate dovecot to GMail. Could you point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance!

So there is no permission issue, directory successfully created. It seems that virtiofs not allowing uid=-1 and gid=-1 I write a small C program for testing. And when using fchown($FileDescriptor, 2000, 2000) there is no error. I can't find a way to tell dovecot to use uid & gid 2000 when he tries to do fchown. If I create a directory structure manually, everything works well. Maybe we can make some parameter in config, telling that we are using virtiofs and skip EINVAL when doing fchown...

Auth timeout after reload
by rudolf＠padaru.de 29 Nov '24

29 Nov '24

Hello everyone, I have a Dovecot running and can often observe that the auth process goes wrong if a reload occurs at the moment of authentication. I have installed dovecot 2.3.21.1 on ubuntu 20. Whether the error also occurs under other versions, I cannot say at the moment. I have included three examples from the mail log: ## start logs ## # 1 # Nov 27 11:28:18 <myServer> dovecot[946292]: auth: Debug: sql(<myUser>,<myIP>,<I1eibOInIOW5zIKi>): Finished passdb lookup Nov 27 11:28:18 <myServer> dovecot[946292]: auth: Debug: auth(<myUser>,<myIP>,<I1eibOInIOW5zIKi>): Auth request finished Nov 27 11:30:49 <myServer> dovecot[946292]: auth: Error: plain(<myUser>,<myIP>,<I1eibOInIOW5zIKi>): Request 946296.13397 timed out after 151 secs, state=3 Nov 27 11:28:18 <myServer> systemd[1]: Reloading Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server. # 2 # Nov 27 09:05:08 <myServer> dovecot[2940195]: auth: Debug: auth(<myUser><myIP>,<nK2cbOAnaMGiIdFS>): Auth request finished Nov 27 09:07:38 <myServer> dovecot[2940195]: auth: Error: plain(<myUser>,<myIP>,<nK2cbOAnaMGiIdFS>): Request 2940206.363 timed out after 150 secs, state=3 Nov 27 09:05:07 <myServer> systemd[1]: Reloading Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server. # 3 # Nov 27 10:02:18 <myServer> dovecot[3736041]: auth: Debug: auth(<myUser><myIP>,<1v4HOeEnWtG5zIKi>): Auth request finished Nov 27 10:04:48 <myServer> dovecot[3736041]: auth: Error: plain(<myUser>,<myIP>,<1v4HOeEnWtG5zIKi>): Request 3736048.4962 timed out after 150 secs, state=3 Nov 27 10:02:18 <myServer> systemd[1]: Reloading Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server. ## end logs ## You can clearly see that the sql query works, but then the auth-worker seems to hang. I suspect that the auth-worker sends the request to the DB, receives the response and is then killed before it can log in the user via imap. This then leads to some users not being able to log in for a long time. I write many configs on the server automatically, then I always run a reload so that the changed config is accepted. Is this a bug or do I have to change something in my setup?

"INBOX can't be deleted" error when syncing from imapc
by Andy Balholm 28 Nov '24

28 Nov '24

I'm syncing mail from an IMAP server to local Maildirs with `doveadm backup -R`, and I sometimes get an error the second time I sync an account: > Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted. I've figured out that the sync completes the first time without an error, but the UIDVALIDITY of the INBOX Maildir doesn't match the UIDVALIDITY on the IMAP server. Then the second time doveadm detects the mismatch and wants to delete the INBOX, but it can't because Maildir INBOXes can't be deleted. So I think the root cause is that the INBOX is being created with the wrong UIDVALIDITY in the first place. It only seems to happen when there are no messages in the INBOX on the server at the time the Maildir is created, but it doesn't seem to happen all the time. Is there anything I can do to make the sync job run smoothly? Andy

Director to keep redirecting users to the same server even it is down

Hello, why the director always proxying IMAP connections to the same backend even if it is down? Also the director is showing the node as up although I have stopped the dovecot service on it: doveadm director status mail server ip tag vhosts state state changed users Node1 100 up - 2 Node2 100 up - 3 on the director here is: doveconf -n # 2.3.21 (47349e2482): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.21 (f6cd4b8e) # OS: Linux 6.8.0-1018-aws x86_64 Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS # Hostname: auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_socket_path = director-userdb auth_verbose = yes director_mail_servers = Node1 Node2 director_servers = dir1 dir2 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log listen = * lmtp_proxy = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log mail_gid = vmail mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = vmail namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-openldap-proxy.conf.ext default_fields = proxy=y driver = ldap } protocols = imap pop3 lmtp service auth { inet_listener { port = 12345 } } service director { fifo_listener login/proxy-notify { mode = 0600 user = $default_login_user } inet_listener { port = 9090 } unix_listener director-admin { mode = 0600 } unix_listener director-userdb { mode = 0600 } unix_listener login/director { mode = 0666 } } service imap-login { executable = imap-login director inet_listener imap { port = 0 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } } service ipc { unix_listener ipc { user = dovecot } } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } } service pop3-login { executable = pop3-login director inet_listener pop3 { port = 0 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service submission-login { inet_listener submission { port = 587 } } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/ssl/fullchain.pem ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs ssl_dh = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it protocol lmtp { auth_socket_path = director-userdb }
