[Dovecot] Assertion failed in mail-search-build.c
by Mark Moseley 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

With Friday's and today's mercurial repo, I'm getting this: Apr 26 12:55:31 master: Info: Dovecot v2.0.beta4 starting up (core dumps disabled) Apr 26 12:58:34 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<mail@box>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.1.1.206, lip=192.168.152.1 Apr 26 12:58:34 imap(mail@box): Panic: file mail-search-build.c: line 59 (mail_search_build_key_int): assertion failed: (sarg->value.subargs != NULL) Apr 26 12:58:34 imap(mail@box): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb76a3ad1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb76a3b4f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0xb76a3e08] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb76f859e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb76f860f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_search_build+0x82) [0xb76f86f2] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 10.1.1.206 SEARCH](imap_search_args_build+0x48) [0x805d8a8] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 10.1.1.206 SEARCH](cmd_search+0xbb) [0x805342b] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 10.1.1.206 SEARCH] [0x80564dc] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 10.1.1.206 SEARCH] [0x8056579] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 10.1.1.206 SEARCH](client_handle_input+0x2d) [0x80566ed] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 10.1.1.206 SEARCH](client_input+0x5f) [0x805710f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xf5) [0xb76b0115] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x30) [0xb76af160] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2a) [0xb769ca5a] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 10.1.1.206 SEARCH](main+0x2b5) [0x805fb95] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xb752e455] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 10.1.1.206 SEARCH] [0x804e951] Apr 26 12:58:34 master: Error: service(imap): child 13220 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) Login is working fine, just blowing up on that assert by doing a search. The search is pretty basic, in python: server.search( None, "(ALL)" ) Testing with a previous version (from a couple of days earlier -- I don't have the intervening), I don't hit that assertion. The last changeset on mail-search-build.c in the working copy is 11146:3649ad8c9f9a. Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to try.

[Dovecot] pop3-login: auth failure -- due to number as first character in login name
by dovecot mail list account 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Seem to have found a error in version 1.2.6 regarding usernames having a number as the first character. Customers with a number as the first character in thier user name can not login via pop3 clients. However they can login through our webmail interface. If we remove the number from the username then the customer can login. # 1.2.6: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.31.12-desktop-3mnb x86_64 Mandriva Linux 2010.0 protocols: pop3 ssl_listen: * ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/tls/private/dovecot.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/home/mail/%u mail_executable: /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format: %08Xv%08Xu lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)example.com auth default: mechanisms: plain login verbose: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix plugin: quota_warning: storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2: storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80

[Dovecot] Problems with Mailbox is in inconsistent state, please relogin.
by Daniel Machado Grilo 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

Dear Dovecot users, I'm a sysadmin in a company that recently migrated the IMAP from courier-imap to dovecot :-) *urray* Everything with the perl migrating scripts (version 1.0) went with OKs and it was a lot of fun (and pray) to move 400Gb of mails and migrate.. and everything is working even better :-) The problem is for some outside users that use webmails, like: - Squirrel - Roundcube - Horde They claim that the connection is constantly dropping.. You might say now: "Webmail's fault!!!" as I said in the beginning :) But the IMAP logs shows SEVERAL times (almost every 10mins ?!): Apr 28 21:10:48 olive dovecot: IMAP(rcoelho): Maildir /cluster/mail/mailboxes/rcoelho sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox (192736 > 192720, file = msg.LDW0C) Apr 28 21:10:48 olive dovecot: IMAP(rcoelho): Disconnected: Mailbox is in inconsistent state, please relogin. Apr 28 19:14:11 olive dovecot: IMAP(pcorreia): Maildir /cluster/mail/mailboxes/pcorreia sync: UID < next_uid (7874 < 7875, file = msg.5BNVC) Apr 28 19:14:12 olive dovecot: IMAP(pcorreia): Disconnected: Mailbox is in inconsistent state, please relogin. and so on. I read somewhere on the web that configuring the mbox_lazy_write=no should work .. it did not :-) I have CentOS 5.4 in our mailserver, so the version of dovecot is not the latest (it is 1.0.7).. But of course, this is production environment and I don't want to update if its not needed :-) So my questions are: - Is this a known bug for this version and I have to upgrade ? - Is this a problem in my configs for dovecot ? - Can this be other problem than dovecot ? -- so probably i should be able to add more debug anoying messages to our logs ? - Probably something went wrong in the migration for these maildirs? So now what can we do to fix this ? Our mail is working and, at the moment, I found 3 users with this error.. They have about 10Gb of mail each, I don't think this is a problem for dovecot.. only for our storages.. :-) Tks for your patience, Best Regards!

Hi guys, I was just wondering if this idea makes sense overall or if there are major impediments (indexing performance ?): http://blogs.nopcode.org/brainstorm/2010/04/28/maildircrypt/ Thanks ! Roman

[Dovecot] Dovecot headers at start of text returned to KMail
by Barry Scott 29 Apr '10

29 Apr '10

The attachment show Kmail (kdepim-4.4.2-1.fc12.x86_64) accessing an email from dovecot over imap. From the wireshark-imap-trace.txt you can see at line 77 that the headers do not end cleanly "X-)". And at line 84 there is text from the headers that is not part of the body "-Spambayes-Trained: ham". The email being access by dovecot is in: 1272011889.M384349P30156.f12barry.office.onelan.co.uk,S=6494,W=6606:2,S Because of this bug kmail fails to show the message cleanly on screen. # 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 12 (Constantine) login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Barry

Re: [Dovecot] returned error 83 (Out of memory)
by J Contad 28 Apr '10

FYI, sorted out this issue by taking out a specific email manually. Not sure if it helps, but the email had these attributes: - X-Mailer is PHPMailer [version 1.73] - References: header is quite large, and contains email addresses external to the sender and I's conversation. Removing the email fixed the issue. -- John

I tried deleting the file, but got pretty much the same issues. Any other hints on how else to go about it? Cheers!

Did you tried to delete the dovecot.index.cache file, maybe it has been corrupted? Regards, - -- Steffen Kaiser -- John

[Dovecot] somebody using Net::Sieve (Perl) with dovecot 1.2.11?
by Heiko Schlittermann 27 Apr '10

27 Apr '10

Hello, I've just (hopefully) fixed some issue with Net::Sieve (0.05) to cooperate with a current (1.2.11) dovecot managesieve server and STARTTLS. Does somebody use this Perl library? If yes, did it work for you (STARTTLS triggers the problem)? If not, which other (Perl) library do you use?
