[Dovecot] Clients cannot empty trash
by james edwards 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

I am having a problem with Dovecot and imap; users are not being able to empty their trash from time to time. Here is what I am running: [root@xxxx root]# rpm -q dovecot dovecot-0.99.13-3.FC3 [root@xxxx root]# uname -a Linux xxxx 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp #1 SMP Fri Oct 21 04:03:26 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@xxxx root]# Several times a week different users get the following pop up message when they empty trash (manually by selecting "delete trash" on their mail client): "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. {2006-02-22 08:46:24]." The quick and dirty fix is to go into their home dir and empty the trash folder (ie "> Trash"). I have checked the log and do not see anything useful at the time noted in the pop up error message on the users client. I have now set up logging to separate files to make debugging a bit easier: log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-info.log Most of my users are using Netscape for mail. I have searched the web and archives of this list with little luck. Some people mention issues with quota but I am not running quota. Has anyone seen this or can point me in the right direction to debug this problem further ? James H.

[Dovecot] Dovecot and Squirrelmail problem
by Scott Mayo 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

I get the following error when I check my mail a lot. I can keep refreshing until all errors are gone, then I am alright. This started happening when I turned on the serverside sorting in squirrelmail. How do I check to see which mails are causing this problem? ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: COPY 10223:10223 "INBOX.Trash" Reason Given: Internal error [2006-02-22 10:08:53] All that I am doing is filtering a lot of listserves that I am on to go to the trash. Thanks. -- Scott Mayo Technology Coordinator Bloomfield Schools PH: 573-568-5669 FA: 573-568-4565 Pager: 800-264-2535 X2549 Duct tape is like the force, it has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together.

[Dovecot] fcntl and F_NOTIFY
by Michael Blinn 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

I've set up dovecot on a testbed server. Each time a user ('myusername') connects via imap, I get the following info in mail.log: dovecot: imap(myusername): fcntl(F_NOTIFY) failed: Invalid argument I'm using these config settings in dovecot.conf in an attempt to avoid fcntl lock_method = dotlock mbox_read_locks = dotlock mbox_write_locks = dotlock I've looked through the archives but haven't seen this particular message, so I am a bit lost. I've tried fiddling with the NOTIFY defines in config.h but these don't seem to make a difference, if they compile at all. I'm on lib6 on this Debian Woody (kernel 2.2.25) box. I don't know how realistic it would be to get up to a latest glibc, if this is where the problem exists. Can anyone point me in the right direction or provide some insight?

[Dovecot] Disconnect IMAP session after certain time?
by Jan-Piet Mens 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Is it possible to have Dovecot cleanly terminate an IMAP session after a certain time? I have a number of users who leave their MUA (Mozilla Thunderbird) on all night, and I'd like to have them (cleanly) disconnect in order to free up resources after a certain "inactivity" time (e.g. 2 hours). Can that be done? -JP

[Dovecot] Problem getting new mail from Postfix to Dovecot
by Dave Engbers 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Dear reader, I am having problems getting new mail into my Inbox. I have this in my dovecot.conf: default_mail_env = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%u The logs show nothing special, catting /var/mail/%u shows the new mails coming in, as does /var/log/mail.info Any clues? Regards, Dave.

[Dovecot] Stale configure options...
by Curtis Maloney 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Does the GNUTLS support in Dovecot currently work? Last I saw it was quite stale, and broken. If it doesn't work, should it perhaps be removed as an option from the configure script? ... just a thought. -- Curtis Maloney cmaloney(a)cardgate.net

[Dovecot] building in AIXV5.3 using the IBM C for AIX compiler V6.0
by Stewart Dean 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

What fun. I don't often stoke up the boiler and actually compile open-source code, but here I am at the beginning of just such a joyous and wondrous adventure. I'm running the latest level of AIX (V5.3...V4.3 has been obsolete for at least, what, 5 years) and using the IBM compiler (xlc is similarly obsolete, from back when the compiler came with the O/S...oh, for the halcyon days of Unix's youth) as above The IBM compiler is now know as xlc rather than xlC, and configure doesn't find it: checking for xlC_r... no checking for xlC... no and it isn't happy with the quota stuff: checking sys/quota.h usability... no checking sys/quota.h presence... no checking for sys/quota.h... no checking sys/fs/ufs_quota.h usability... no checking sys/fs/ufs_quota.h presence... no checking for sys/fs/ufs_quota.h... no checking ufs/ufs/quota.h usability... no checking ufs/ufs/quota.h presence... no checking for ufs/ufs/quota.h... no I guess this is because AIX has journalled filesystems and the quota.h stuff is under /usr/include/jfs/quota.h Configure completes with this summary. Install prefix ...................... : /usr/local File offsets ........................ : 32bit I/O loop method ..................... : poll File change notification method ..... : none Building with SSL support ........... : no Building with IPv6 support .......... : yes Building with pop3 server ........... : yes Building with GSSAPI support ........ : no Building with user database modules . : static prefetch passwd passwd-file checkpassword (modules) Building with password lookup modules : passwd passwd-file pam checkpassword (modules) Right now, I'm just shooting (sorry, Mr. Cheney) for a clean compile...I'll leave such niceties as finding the OpenSSL binaries (which IBM, in its wisdom, puts in special places), doing a multiproccesor-enabled compile, etc. for later. Onward! I have defined CC= /usr/vac/bin/cc. But alas, the party just doesn't happen.

[Dovecot] documentation on modifying the configure script
by Stewart Dean 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

On second thought (unless someone is fantastically charitable), I suppose I need to seriously concentrate on modifying the current configure script to work with the current AIX operating system and compiler. Can someone direct me to documentation on configure so I can begin my trek through the wilderness? -- ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resources Center of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] Procmail sending to 'Folder ^'
by Anne Wilson 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Due to a fault in a procmail recipe, a number of files have been sent to 'Folder ^'. Would this mean anything at all to Dovecot? At this point I don't know whether the messages are physically on my drive or have been sent to /dev/null. I know there was one important message among them, so if they are recoverable I'd like to check them. Anne
