[Dovecot] delivery to incorrect user
by jpollara＠lawnchair.net 13 Jan '05

13 Jan '05

Yesterday a user reported to me that she received a bunch of emails that were not addressed to her. I'm using dovecot version 0.99.11 along with postfix and amavisd-new. I don't know how this happened because each mail file in /var/mail/ is only readable by the user. Has anyone ever heard of this happening before?

[Dovecot] dovecot + mysql (complements)
by MAGALLON Lionel 13 Jan '05

Hi, I've done some supplementary tests with tcpdump. Apparently, with a login containing the % character, there's no query send to MySQL. Do you know if the % character is filtered by dovecot ? Thanks

[Dovecot] dovecot + mysql
by MAGALLON Lionel 13 Jan '05

13 Jan '05

Hi, I've got a problem of authenticating users when they've got the % character in their login name. It always returns -ERR Authentication failed. I've done some tests (explained below). 1. the mysql answer to SELECT password FROM users WHERE uid = 'foo%domain.com' is 123 2. the mysql answer to SELECT password FROM users WHERE uid = 'foo(a)domain.com' is 123 3. with a password_query like this : password_query = SELECT password FROM users WHERE uid = '%u' it works fine with foo(a)domain.com but not with foo%domain.com 4. everybody can login with password 123 with a password_query like this : password_query = SELECT password FROM users WHERE uid = 'foo%domain.com' => I don't know what's done with the % character when passed to the %u variable. Can somebody enlight me ? Thanks a lot.

[Dovecot] link() failed / maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=no / maildir-save.c.patch
by David C. Reeve 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Hi, I have recently been having a small problem with Dovecot (dovecot-0.99.13) not honouring the "maildir_copy_with_hardlinks" config option, specifically when it is set to "no". This results in errors to the syslog looking like: Jan 12 09:59:21 imap imap(dave): link(/afs/.../tmp/1105541958.P1137Q0M41428.imap, /afs/.../new/1105541958.P1137Q0M41428.imap:2,S) failed in maildir_copy: Invalid cross-device link The supplied patch will, when maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=no, rename files inside maildir's instead of hard linking them, hence honouring the configuration option. A word of caution! This all relies on the filenames in maildir being unique (which they should be, and this shouldn't be a problem, but..). It is possible (although unlikely) that renaming the file could destroy a file in the target directory; no checking is done to assure this is not the case! (If you are paranoid you can always write another patch). Yes I am using AFS (openafs specifically) to hold my maildir's, which does not support hard links. However AFS assures that rename operations are atomic so we can use that instead (this may be the case for other filling systems that do not allow hard links). Hope that helps some one else ;) Dave -- David C. Reeve <David.Reeve(a)pnsol.com> Predictable Network Solutions

[Dovecot] dovecot-auth zombie procs
by jpollara＠lawnchair.net 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Hi, every now and then it seems as if dovecot-auth zombie's out. When this happens nobody can log in. If I kill all the dovecot-auth processes and then restart dovecot everything seems to work again. I'm authenticating against an openldap server on a debian sarge box so I wonder if this has anything to do with it. All my clients are using Outlook. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure of the rest of the history with this, but my FC3 installation has [root@nasrec etc]# cat /etc/procmailrc PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/mail DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ #VERBOSE=on #LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail [root@nasrec etc]# ll /etc/procmailrc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109 May 2 2004 procmailrc I do remember having to delete the old mail box of one of my installs, where I had started using dovecot before putting in my procmailrc file ... I stop dovecot, imap* and pop3* ... Removed all the wrong mailboxs both in user folder and in /var/spool/mail ... Ran mail -s Test user Type a message here < Press Control-D here > Message gets delieverd in maildir format, start dovecot and all seemed well. I hope this helps. Mailed Lee
