[Dovecot] invalid mbox files
by Harout S. Hedeshian 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hello! I recently upgraded from dovecot 0.9x to 1.0.5-Aplha and now when ever folders are opened (in IMAP), it keeps saying invalid mbox files. It worked fine in 0.99.x. It is detecting the right mbox files because it lists the folders and the subscriptions correctly. I am using "default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u" in the config file, but I get the same error with "Detect automatically". It generates nothing in the log files so I am lost!! I tried both outlook and thunderbird but same results. Thanks for the help, Harout S. Hedeshian

[Dovecot] alpha5: (message_body_search_ctx) assert
by Jeff A. Earickson 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi, My second case of this assert, gdb analysis of the core dump attached. My setup: Solaris 9, dovecot built with gcc 4.0.2, mbox format, imap usage only. INBOX is NFS mounted from another Solaris 9 system, index files are local. Syslog complaint is: imap(user): file message-body-search.c: line 414 (message_body_search_ctx): assertion failed: (input->v_offset == part->physical_pos + part->header_size.physical_size) Jeff Earickson Colby College

[Dovecot] 1.0alpha5: fcntl() locking problem
by Jeff A. Earickson 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi, My setup: Solaris 9, /var/mail is NFS mounted from another Solaris 9 box, home directories and dovecot index stuff is on local ufs filesystems. I upgraded from alpha4 to a5 about 36 hours ago. Dovecot is configured like so during the build: VERSION=1.0.alpha5 CC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot.$VERSION --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-ssldir=/opt/openssl/ssl > configure.out This afternoon dovecot basically locked up where a lot of people (including me) were getting: imap(user): fcntl() failed with mbox file /var/mail/user: No record locks available for syslog messages, and their mailbox operations would fail. In my case pine just closed the mailbox with an internal error. I did a quick fix by stopping dovecot, killing all dovecot processes, killing /usr/lib/nfs/lockd on the dovecot server, and restarting lockd. Ideas? Suggestions? Jeff Earickson Colby College

[Dovecot] Bug with userdb prefetch
by Stian Jordet 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi, when I'm (trying) to use userdb prefetch with ldap, it works fine for system users, but for virtual users without their own uid and gid, it won't work. I get in the log: Dec 31 01:34:47 buick dovecot: auth(default): prefetch(oddrun,127.0.0.1): userdb_uid not returned Dec 31 01:34:47 buick dovecot: auth(default): prefetch(oddrun,127.0.0.1): userdb_gid not returned Which means that the problem is that user_global_uid and user_global_gid is not used when using prefetch. That must be a bug? Best regards, Stian

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, I tried the change from cyrus to dovecot. This was just some days ago and I'm really happy. Just a little problem.

[Dovecot] dovecot and ldaps://
by David Coppa 31 Dec '05

31 Dec '05

Hi all, I've managed to get dovecot running with ldaps (ssl over port 636, not starttls). Btw, it's working right only if i specify "TLSVerifyClient never" in my slapd.conf. With any other parameter (like "TLSVerifyClient demand"), the bind fails with: connection_get(12) connection_get(12): got connid=0 connection_read(12): checking for input on id=0 TLS trace: SSL_accept:before/accept initialization TLS trace: SSL_accept:SSLv3 read client hello A TLS trace: SSL_accept:SSLv3 write server hello A TLS trace: SSL_accept:SSLv3 write certificate A TLS trace: SSL_accept:SSLv3 write certificate request A TLS trace: SSL_accept:SSLv3 flush data TLS trace: SSL_accept:error in SSLv3 read client certificate A TLS trace: SSL_accept:error in SSLv3 read client certificate A connection_get(12) connection_get(12): got connid=0 connection_read(12): checking for input on id=0 TLS trace: SSL3 alert write:fatal:handshake failure TLS trace: SSL_accept:error in SSLv3 read client certificate B TLS: can't accept. TLS: error:140890C7:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE:peer did not return a certificate +/usr/src/lib/libssl/src/ssl/s3_srvr.c:2004 connection_read(12): TLS accept error error=-1 id=0, closing connection_closing: readying conn=0 sd=12 for close connection_close: conn=0 sd=12 Is there a way to specify, in the dovecot-ldap.conf file, where to look for the client certificate and key files? Or maybe make dovecot parse the ldaprc file under /etc? Best Regards, David
