[Dovecot] Defunct processes w/ v1.2.1
by Chris O'Regan 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

I have limited information at the moment (currently distracted by other projects) but I'm hoping that someone has already found and solved this problem. I have a v1.2.1 installed on my development box waiting for me to tinker with the configuration. On several occasions, I have noticed that all the dovecot processes are listed as "defunct". I don't recall seeing anything significant in the logs the last time I checked. The system is not under any load. Has anyone else encountered this before? If not, I will dig deeper. BTW, ignore the fd limit warning below; limits are set in the init script. # /local/bin/dovecot -n # 1.2.1: /local/pkg/dovecot-1.2.1/root/etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 1024 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 10240).

[Dovecot] virtual plugin question
by Nikita Koshikov 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

Hello list, After enabling virtual plugin in dovecot config, I got imap segmentation faults from time to time. I can't say what event trigs this behavior, but in logs I see: Jul 22 13:55:01 dovecot: Error: child 20908 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Jul 22 13:56:43 dovecot: Error: child 19466 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Jul 22 14:06:16 dovecot: Error: child 22629 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Jul 22 14:08:17 dovecot: Error: child 22879 (imap) killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Here is my config section, which I added to enable virtual plugin: namespace private { prefix = Company/ separator = / location = virtual:/var/mail/virtual subscriptions = no } and "virtual" to mail_plugins in imap and lda section. Full dovecot -n config provided at the end of this message. I'm not sure, if it is save to enable virtual location for all users using the same path, but the main goal for me - to create dovecot-virtual files once for all users. Maybe INDEX-es should be personalize for this setup work correct ? ls -la /var/mail/virtual/ drwxr-xr-x 2 mail mail 4096 Июл 22 15:43 all drwxr-xr-x 2 mail mail 4096 Июл 22 15:37 favorites -rw-r--r-- 1 mail mail 14 Июл 22 13:53 .virtual-subscriptions cat /var/mail/virtual/all/dovecot-virtual #all emails * all cat /var/mail/virtual/favorites/dovecot-virtual #Mark messages * flagged Core dump: gdb /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap /data/mail/domain.com/koshikov.n/core GNU gdb 6.8 Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[Dovecot] Problem with INTERNALDATE when the year in localtime and GMT different
by 도원철 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

In my thought utc_offset function in src/lib/utc-offset.c returns wrong offset value when the year in localtime and GMT different. /* max offset of 24 hours */ if (ltm.tm_yday < gtm.tm_yday) offset = -24 * 60; else if (ltm.tm_yday > gtm.tm_yday) offset = 24 * 60; else offset = 0; I think this code should be modified as followings. /* max offset of 24 hours */ if ((ltm.tm_year == gtm.tm_year && ltm.tm_yday < gtm.tm_yday) || (ltm.tm_year < gtm.tm_year)) offset = -24 * 60; else if ((ltm.tm_year == gtm.tm_year && ltm.tm_yday > gtm.tm_yday) || (ltm.tm_year > gtm.tm_year)) offset = 24 * 60; else offset = 0; On 1 Jan. 2009, I found an error related to this code. The intrenal date of message recieved at 01-Jan-2009 07:17:38 was not display as it received. The protocol log was as followings. FETCH (INTERNALDATE “01-Jan-2009 07:17:38 -3900” RFC822.SIZE 1597 FLAGS (\Seen) ENVELOP (“Thu, 1 Jan 2009 07:17:38 +0900 (KST)” … The INTERNALDATE must be “01-Jan-2009 07:17:38 +0900”, but it was "01-Jan- 2009 07:17:38 -3900". This error may be caused by the bug in utc_offset.c. How do you think?

[Dovecot] [Bug] dovecot deliver v1.2.1 segfaults
by Nikita Koshikov 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hello list, I have noticed strange dovecot behavior with exim system-filter. I'm using exim+dovecot setup. My exim configuration have system filter enable, which restrict some attachments, like exe, vbs etc. When message with forbidden attachment received, exim accept the message, then construct bounce-message(Reject reason + original message) and returns it to sender. Trying to deliver such messages, I always get segmentation faults and message stayed in exim's queue. Others common delivers work fine. This only happens with bouncing system-filter messages. Steps to reproduce: 1) Create message with forbiden attachment 2) Send message. 3) Get segmentation fault. Here is more details: exim -d+all -M 1MSn7r-0003hN-BG (this command runs delivery from exim's queue) 13:14:23 11570 --------> koshikov.n(a)domain.com <-------- 13:14:23 11570 locking

[Dovecot] vpopmail and shared mailbox
by David Fuchs 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

hi all, I'm a long time courier-imap user and just switched to dovecot-1.2.1. my MTA is qmail and all user accounts are virtual vpopmail users. getting dovecot to work was mostly painless, but I am desperately trying to share a user's mailbox and can't seem to figure out how. unfortunately the documentation is not very helpful. I am trying to share the mailbox /home/vpopmail/domains/ example.com/someuser/Maildir here's what I put in dovecot.conf: namespace shared { separator = . prefix = shared.%%u. location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/%%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u subscriptions = no list = yes } I then logged in as someuser and did a "setacl anyone Inbox lrip". /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/shared-mailboxes.db now contains an entry shared/shared-boxes/anyone/someuser(a)example.com 1 and /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/someuser/Maildir/dovecot-acl has anyone ilpr however, when I connect to the server, the client does not see the "shared" namespace. also, dovecot seems to be creating empty shared-mailboxes.db in /home/vpopmail/domains/example/ (missing .com!). I'm very confused at this point, but I'm sure someone has gotten this to work and can help me out. fwiw, the output of dovecot -n is appended. thanks! - Dave.

[Dovecot] Problem with quota-dict
by Sascha Bendix 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hi, I wanted to migrate a mailserver from cyrus to dovecot. The new setup was using postfixadmin let the domain admins configure the hostet domains. To view the used quota in postfixadmin the usage of the quota dict backend is required. I have configured it according to the wiki but everytime I connect I get a sucessfully login and then every next command hangs. It seems to me, that the dict process itself is hanging. I even startet with a fresh mail box. The only way to login with my setup is to disable quota for the used protocol. My system is debian lenny based with dovecot 1.0.15 and PostgreSQL 8.3.7 as database server. My config is the following: # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps pop3s managesieve listen: [::] ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/server.key login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login login_greeting: Ready. first_valid_uid: 8 last_valid_uid: 8 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/mail/%d/%n mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota acl mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota acl mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %v.%u pop3_uidl_format(managesieve): sieve_storage(default): sieve_storage(imap): sieve_storage(pop3): sieve_storage(managesieve): /var/mail/sieve/%d/%n sieve(default): sieve(imap): sieve(pop3): sieve(managesieve): /var/mail/sieve/%d/%n.sieve namespace: type: private inbox: yes auth default: user: dovecot-auth passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: mail group: mail plugin: quota: dict:storage=10240 proxy::quota acl: vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls sieve: /var/mail/sieve/%d/%n.sieve dict: quota: pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf My /etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf: connect = host=localhost dbname=mail user=mail password=dovecot-passwort table = quota select_field = current where_field = path username_field = username My database table: CREATE TABLE quota ( username character varying(255) NOT NULL, path character varying(100) NOT NULL, "current" integer, CONSTRAINT quota_pkey PRIMARY KEY (username, path) ) WITH (OIDS=FALSE); ALTER TABLE quota OWNER TO mail; -- Trigger: mergequota on quota -- DROP TRIGGER mergequota ON quota; CREATE TRIGGER mergequota BEFORE INSERT ON quota FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE merge_quota(); connect = host=localhost dbname=mail user=dovecot password=jianueyeePeev5o table = quota select_field = current where_field = path username_field = username My dovecot logfile with mail_debug=yes: Jul 20 21:06:17 skippy dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.15 starting up Jul 20 21:06:17 skippy dovecot: auth(default): pgsql: Connected to mail Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3/lib10_quota_plugin.so Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): Effective uid=8, gid=8 Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): maildir: data=/var/mail/domain.tld/user Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): maildir: root=/var/mail/domain.tld/user, index=/var/mail/domain.tld/user, control=, inbox= Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): dict quota: uri = proxy::quota Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): dict quota: byte limit = 52428800 Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): dict quota: count limit = 0 Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<user(a)domain.tld>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:1.2.3.4, lip=::ffff:1.2.3.5, TLS Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: dict: pgsql: Connected to mail Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: dict: Timeout leak: 0x40e150 Jul 20 21:07:07 skippy dovecot: dict: WARNING: there is no transaction in progress I'm a little bit clueless because there is no significant output (even in strace).

[Dovecot] Filesystem size limitation?
by Tommy Ng 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

I'm new to dovecot, nice to meet you guys here. Referring to Redhat, 32bit Linux v5 GFS supports 16TB filesystem size while 64bit version supports 8 EB (1EB = 1024TB) size. Reference: http://www.redhat.com/rhel/compare/ My question is, any limitation on a single filesystem (Redhat GFS) that Dovecot can handle? or Dovecot depends only on the limitation of OS?

[Dovecot] Bug in Dovecot Managesieve or Horde ?
by Christian Felsing 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hello, there is a problem between Dovevot 1.2 Managesieve 0.11.7 and Horde webmail 1.2.2 (possibly also in 1.2.3) in imap4flags $ telnet localhost 2000 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. "IMPLEMENTATION" "dovecot" "SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include body variables enotify environment" "SASL" "PLAIN LOGIN" "STARTTLS" "NOTIFY" "mailto" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "taunusstein.net imap4/pop3 ready." This shows imap4flags, Cyrus sieve shows imapflags instead that. Horde Ingos does not like that and complains about missing "imapflags". Two small patches in Horde code resolves that, but I do not know if that's the right way. cd webmail2/ingo/lib vi ./Script/sieve.php: function requires() { //return array('imapflags'); return array('imap4flags'); } vi ./tests/SieveTest.php: function testBlacklistMarker() { $bl = &new Ingo_Storage_blacklist(3); $bl->setBlacklist(array('spammer(a)example.com')); $bl->setBlacklistFolder(INGO_BLACKLIST_MARKER); $this->store($bl); //$this->assertScript('require "imapflags"; $this->assertScript('require "imap4flags"; if address :all :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :is ["From", "Sender", "Resent-From"] "spammer(a)example.com" { addflag "\\\\Deleted"; keep; removeflag "\\\\Deleted"; stop; }'); } After that, Horde Ingo likes Dovecot mailsieve. Is it a bug of mailsieve ? Regards Christian
