by Ashraf 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

Hi Timo/all Help me please, i am in the process of migrating courier to dovecot 1.1.14. I want to do migration as users loging so i am using this script * http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl *, When i do use post-logging script to migrate* POP3*, its downloading messages again (*Duplicating messages)* , as some of our users prefer to leave messages on server. If i run the script manually on particular users home directory and try to download it *still duplicating messages, *as its creating whole new set of dovecot files. * * About my environment -- MailDir's stored in NFS location -- User Authenticated using MySQL my dovecot.conf looks like base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap pop3 listen = *, [::] log_path =/var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log ssl_disable = yes login_process_per_connection = no login_processes_count = 10 login_max_processes_count = 128 login_max_connections = 256 login_greeting = Dovecot ready. mail_location = maildir:~/ mail_debug = yes mmap_disable = yes dotlock_use_excl = yes mail_nfs_index = yes lock_method = dotlock mail_drop_priv_before_exec = yes first_valid_uid = 195 max_mail_processes = 512 mail_process_size = 256 mailbox_idle_check_interval = 20 protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { *mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/postpop3.sh* mail_max_userip_connections = 10 pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } user = root } dict { } plugin { } ---- my postloggin script -- $ cat /usr/libexec/dovecot/postpop3.sh #!/bin/sh # WARNING: Be sure to use mail_drop_priv_before_exec=yes, # otherwise the files are created as root! /usr/libexec/dovecot/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl --quiet --to-dovecot --recursive --convert ${HOME} # This is for pop3 exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 ---- Please advise am i doing something wrong, please guide me, let me know if you need any more info about my setup. -- Regards Ashraf

[Dovecot] Quota over NFS with inode limit
by Patrick Domack 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I tried searching this list, but couldn't find anything related to inode limits except for linux quotas. I wanted to add sieve support for our users, so was attempting to get our email system to use dovecot's deliver lda to handle email, instead of postfix's virtual lda, using maildir mailstore. When I did this, I noticed that emails would get stuck in the queue if a user was over quota, this got fixed when I added in quota support, and set it up to check it using the line: quota = fs:User quota:user:inode_per_mail Now if a user excedes disk space via quota, it's bounced with a message. But if a user excedes their inode quota, it's still tempfail and hangs in the queue till it expires. I just wanted to know if anyone knows about this issue, if I made a stupid mistake or anything else, before I go digging into the source.

Hi all, Dovecot with the "new Sieve" works fine, but 1 - how to have a global script AND 1 script per virtual maibox ? 2 - how to allow a user to change this script (from Thunderbird or Outlook) Thanks JM

[Dovecot] record points outside file error with dovecot revision 9116:9ae55b68cf61
by Jonathan Siegle 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I use mbox with mbox-snarf plugin. I get errors like: dovecot: IMAP(testuser): Corrupted index cache file /full/path/ dovecot.index.cache: record points outside file The errors can be in either folders or INBOX. I put some syslog statements in src/lib-index/mail-cache-lookup.c to help understand this. if (offset + sizeof(*rec) > cache->mmap_length) { mail_cache_set_corrupted(cache, "record points outside file"); syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"mail_cache_get_record rec->size is %d ", rec->size); syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"cache->mmap_length is %d ", cache- >mmap_length); syslog(LOG_DEBUG,"offset is %d ", offset); return -1; } syslog: mail_cache_get_record rec->size is 268595472 syslog: cache->mmap_length is 4096 syslog: offset is 1630760037 Oh I forgot to print off sizeof(*rec). Would that help? Thanks, Jonathan

[Dovecot] SELinux
by Kenneth Porter 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

I've temporarily got SELinux set to permissive mode on a fresh install on CentOS 5. It was blocking Dovecot's access to ~/mail because the files were labeled file_t. What's the correct way to label these?

A > restart isn't much better than just ignoring the time change. But really, all this leads is that admin has to detect the dovecot termination and simply go and restart it manually -- after some bad thoughts. I think that a config option to restart silently (or simply kill all connected imap/pop3 instances) would be quite reasonable. Basically it is the only thing I don't like in Dovecot... and was even planning to hack the time check out of the code =)) Best wishes Eugene
