[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0.rc7 ioloop-poll.c assertion failed after SIGHUP
by Chris Wakelin 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Anybody else seen this one? We're running Dovecot 1.0.rc7 on a different port on our live server (we're generally live with 1.0.beta5) and after a HUP to reload the user database (in a passwd-file) this morning we got:- > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Info: IMAP 14482 someuser xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx : Disconnected in IDLE > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Warning: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: No route to host [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Error: Login process died too early - shutting down > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Panic: file ioloop-poll.c: line 105 (io_loop_handle_remove): assertion failed: (index >= 0 && (unsigned int) index < ctx->fds_count) and Dovecot had died. "someuser" was me, and I'd left my Thunderbird client logged in (via IMAPS) by mistake when I hibernated my PC last night. I'd seen exactly the same assert on a test box the day before yesterday, (this time without a machine hibernating):- > dovecot: Sep 19 19:00:45 Info: imap-login: Aborted login: user=<testuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, lip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, secured > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Error: Login process died too early - shutting down > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Panic: file ioloop-poll.c: line 105 (io_loop_handle_remove): assertion failed: (index >= 0 && (unsigned int) index < ctx->fds_count) Where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is actually the test box (I was logging in from the server itself using "openssl s_client"). The thing is, I was hoping to upgrade everyone (~20,000 users) to 1.0.rc7 next Tuesday, but now I'm not so sure!

[Dovecot] Need to detect event: a user move a message to a “spam folder” (for antispam filter)
by Naefen Raphaël 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

I’m writing an immune system based antispam filter. I need to detect when a user move a message to her spam folder (to inform the filter). I I found “cmd_copy” in imap library so I detect the copy event. But at this level I wasn’t able to find info about which mail and which user copy this message. My question is: Were I can find user Info to know how is moving this message in the spam folder. Ideally if I can have information about message (content or id) will be perfect. Thanks

BUG in rc7 (and probably from much earlier). The LDA 'deliver' fails to honour any uid (%i) setting in dovecot.conf. So delivery and reading happen in different places if 'default_mail_env' uses a '%i' variant. Clearly incorrect behaviour. Attached is a draft of a patch which fixes the problem. Please could the patch be reviewed and, in some form, applied? Thanks. -- : David Lee I.T.

[Dovecot] PAM authentication problem: MD5 vs crypt
by bhayden＠umn.edu 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Here's a strange one. I have Dovecot set up on Solaris 9. The auth portion of the config is straight out of the box. Using PAM. We have most users in a dbm file which is just a series of key/value pairs: key is a username, and value is a string equivalent to a shadow entry. nsswitch.conf entry: passwd files dbm. For historical reasons, some users have a classic 13-character Unix crypt password hash, while others have a 34-character MD5 hash. Here's the situation: User location pw Hash Auth succeeds/fails ---------------------------------------------- files crypt succeeds dbm crypt succeeds files MD5 succeeds dbm MD5 FAILS After two days of research, trussing, and etc, I am stumped. Does anyone have a thought? -Brian

[Dovecot] Missing Mailbox
by Nick 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Hi List, I'm setting up a new Dovecot server and am having some issues getting Dovecot to see the mailbox correctly. I already have several mailboxes (From another Dovecot server) but my new install does not see them. I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 w/ Dovecot 1.0.beta3. When I try to login, I get the following in the log. Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT^I1^I Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(nick(a)mogmail.net, 192.168.0.129): query: SELECT password FROM users WHERE email = ' nick(a)mogmail.net' Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT<hidden> Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK^I1^Iuser= nick(a)mogmail.net Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(nick(a)mogmail.net, 192.168.0.129): SELECT CONCAT('/srv/mail/','mogmail.net','/nick') AS home, '5000' AS uid, '5000' AS gid FROM users u, domains d WHERE u.email='nick(a)mogmail.net' AND d.domain='mogmail.net' Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST^I2^I7117^I1 Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER^I2^Inick(a)mogmail.net ^Ihome=/srv/mail/mogmail.net/nick^Iuid=5000^Igid=5000 Sep 23 15:11:55 nibiru dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<nick(a)mogmail.net>, method=plain, rip=192.168.0.129, lip=192.168.0.2 I'm concerned about the "^I" appearing all over the place.
