[Dovecot] assertion failed -0.99 -> 1.0-stable
by Thomas Hummel 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Hello Timo, I've upgraded from dovecot-0.99 to dovecot-1.0-stable (the 2005-05-09 version) on FreeBSD 5.4 and encountered the following problems (problem #4 (assertion failed) made me downgrade back to dovecot-0.99...) : 1. mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/gopauld (5230 > 4407) --> OK, that's documented on the Wiki, not a real problem 2. imap(cxxx): mkdir_parents(/opt/dovecot/c/cxxx/.imap/INBOX) failed: Permission denied --> I can't understand why since /opt/dovecot/c is rwxrwxrwt and belongs to root:wheel 3. dovecot: IMAP(xxxx): UIDs broken with partial sync in mbox file /yyyy/zzzz/xxxx/Mail/Drafts 4. dovecot: IMAP(xxxx): file istream-raw-mbox.c: line 383 (istream_raw_mbox_get_body_size): assertion failed: +(rstream->body_offset != (uoff_t)-1) --> That one occured each time a user connected with Eudora (on OS-X) moved messages from INBOX to some of her IMAP mailboxes. Since it was in real life, I hadn't time to get a gdb backtrace. Notes : . that user had restarted her client (Eudora). . my messages moves from one IMAP mbox to another did work. . the assertion failed occured with the version of 2005-06-04 as well (which I tried since the ChangLog mentionned some similar problems). Any clues ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

by Alan Premselaar 14 Jun '05

Is the CONTROLDIR directive only available (undocumented as it may be) in the 1.0 series? I'm currently using 0.99.13 and I didn't find CONTROLDIR with grep. Thanks alan

[Dovecot] mail directory in user home?
by Knute Johnson 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Hey: When I run dovecot and retrieve any mail for a user, a mail directory is created in the users home. It has a subdirectory Inbox. No mail goes there however, it all goes to /var/spool/username. What is that directory for and how do I get it to not make it or can I? I am only using POP3. Thanks, -- Knute Johnson Molon Labe...

This is a heads-up that certificates will be moving to a new location in FC4. See section 6.2.3.1 in the release notes: <http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/errata/>

[Dovecot] Problem with configure.in in dovecot-stable CVS
by Brian T Glenn 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

I am having trouble with using dovecot-stable from CVS. I get the following error when running autogen.sh: configure.in: 4: required file `./[config.h].in' not found I see the config.h.in file in the root dir, but I cannot figure out what the brackets are for. If I modify the file and remove the brackets, it works properly and I can compile dovecot. What are the brackets in the name for? Am I breaking something by removing them? Thanks, -- Brian T Glenn delink.net Internet Services

Hello, I tried the v1.0 test of dovecot, because it should make the directories for me. I configured it and installed it. The old one is still there, but I shut it down to test the other version. When I start the new v1.0 test of dovecot i get the following message in my log: Jun 6 13:33:08 APOLLO dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-test72 starting up Jun 6 13:33:09 APOLLO dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down Jun 6 13:33:09 APOLLO dovecot: auth(default): dovecot-auth: Fatal: USERDB environment is unset Jun 6 13:33:09 APOLLO dovecot: child 18610 (auth) returned error 89 What does that mean? How can I set this? Thanks in advance, Greetings, Alex

[Dovecot] blank line at the top of mbox
by Chris Barnes 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

On Sat, Mar 13, 2004, somone posted a note which read: It seems dovecop pop3 server sometimes inserts a blank line at the top of the mbox. It only happens for certain users not all. I'm not sure why it's doing that. Looking back into the mailing list, I saw the same post in Oct 6, 2003 but there was no reply to it. Is there a patch or fix that i can use to get around the blank line? I did not see any replies to this post. I am having the same issue... + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Chris Barnes AOL IM: CNBarnes chris(a)txbarnes.com (also MSN IM) Yahoo IM: chrisnbarnes
