(Looks like I forgot to reply to the list last time.) With `sudo dovecot -F`, I'm now getting: Fatal: setrlimit(RLIMIT_DATA, 2147483648): Invalid argument The old(?) solution doesn't work for me: default_vsz_limit = 0 It reports: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /opt/homebrew/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: service(log): vsz_limit is too low > On Feb 1, 2025, at 08:55, John Muccigrosso <muccigrosso(a)icloud.com> wrote: > > On Feb 1, 2025, at 07:31, Aki Tuomi via dovecot <dovecot(a)dovecot.org> wrote: > >> You sure the default internal group isnt _dovecot as well? > > I'm not sure what you're asking.

I'm getting conflicting result when checking. That is, when I check the group "mail" for members, _dovecot isn't in it, even though checking which groups _dovecot belongs to includes "mail". The opposite happens for the "dovecot" group. And dovecot itself can't find the _dovecot or dovecot group. Seems to be a macOS thing with group membership. > >> You are missing >> >> mail_home = /Users/%{user} > > Thanks. As I said, I was trying to follow the documentation where they give the two lines under Maildir, but not this third one (even though it's given in the first part of this section).

2.4.0 missing fields in documentation for event smtp_server_transaction_finished
by Christian Rößner 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

Hi, Event: smtp_server_transaction_finished remote_ip and remote_port are also available Feature-request: Please also add user to the fields, as lmtp_proxy=yes does a userdb lookup and is aware of the user. Would make things much easier...

2.4.0 on MacOS
by John Muccigrosso 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

I got bitten by the upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4 on my MacOS laptop. I know enough to be dangerous here and had a set-up that was working fine, but now I can't quite figure out how to modify my conf file to work correctly. The current error I'm getting is that there is no group "dovecot" even though I've created one and made the default user a member: > Fatal: service(dict) Group doesn't exist: dovecot More broadly I find the documentation hard to follow, as others seem to have noted in the past. Any help appreciated. Jackie

Help understanding doveadm-sync stateful
by Bruno MATEU 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

Hello, With the removal of the replication plugin in next releases, i'm trying to setup automatic synchronization using doveadm sync between my master and my replica. I managed to make the full sync work from my replica using the following comamnd `sync -A -N -R -f tcp:master-fqdn:12345` However i'd like to do stateful synchronization to avoid doing the full replication each time, and i haven't managed to do that. I tried the following: `doveadm sync -A -N -R -s "$(</var/lib/dovecot/sync-state)" tcp:master-fqdn:12345 > /var/lib/dovecot/sync-state`. However this output a `doveadm(username): Error: Saved sync state is invalid, falling back to full sync: Invalid base64 data` for every user. After looking at the state in /var/lib/dovecot/sync-state, i noticed that there is one line for every user with an associated state, plus one line with only a state. For some reason, the state is the same for every user, except one where the state is much longer. Do i need to run the command for each user, and give as an argument the corresponding state ? Is it enough to run the doveadm sync command with -A argument if i give the state in the last line outputted by doveadm sync ? Is this the right way to do it ? Best regards, Bruno MATEU

Different Replicator Crash??
by Kent Borg 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

I added the suggested "count--" and recompiled, and it now appears to work, the replication goes both ways, eyeballing the e-mail on the two servers they look the same. Good. But part of the time I am still getting what looks very much like the same crash, is there another "count--" I need to add to that file? > Jan 28 10:53:08 la dovecot[96175]: replicator: Panic: data stack: Out > of memory when allocating 268435496 bytes > Jan 28 10:53:08 la dovecot[96175]: replicator: Error: Raw backtrace: > #0 t_askpass[0x7fb404b0c0] -> #1 backtrace_append[0x7fb404b374] -> #2 > backtr\ > ace_get[0x7fb404b510] -> #3 execvp_const[0x7fb4057ba4] -> #4 > i_syslog_fatal_handler[0x7fb4058510] -> #5 i_panic[0x7fb3fa6808] -> #6 > t_pop_pass_st\ > r[0x7fb4050eb4] -> #7 connection_deinit[0x7fb4056430] -> #8 > pool_datastack_create[0x7fb407e7b0] -> #9 > array_bsearch_insert_pos_i[0x7fb40446d0] ->\ > #10 t_base64_scheme_decode[0x7fb404cb24] -> #11 > buffer_append[0x7fb404d3d0] -> #12 replicator_queue_push[0x558c4b4f40] > -> #13 replicator_brain_i\ > nit[0x558c4b53e4] -> #14 _start[0x558c4b3d70] -> #15 > _start[0x558c4b3f04] -> #16 io_loop_call_io[0x7fb4072f20] -> #17 > io_loop_handler_run_interna\ > l[0x7fb4075450] -> #18 io_loop_handler_run[0x7fb4075680] -> #19 > io_loop_run[0x7fb4075944] -> #20 master_service_run[0x7fb3fd84b0] -> > #21 main[0x5\ > 58c4b3930] -> #22 __libc_init_first[0x7fb3dd76d0] -> #23 > __libc_start_main[0x7fb3dd7780] -> #24 _start[0x558c4b3b80] > Jan 28 10:53:08 la dovecot[96175]: replicator: Fatal: master: > service(replicator): child 96714 killed with signal 6 (core dumps > disabled - https:\ > //dovecot.org/bugreport.html#coredumps) Thanks, -kb

Replication Question: Who Initiates?
by Kent Borg 31 Jan '25

31 Jan '25

As I understand it, if I am doing replication between a pair of servers, I run the replicator on just one and it makes all the two way changes necessary to make the two machines match. But this only happens when some change happens on that machine that runs the replicator. First, is this correct? If so, is there a way to have that other machine give the first machine poke, to get it to run a replication? Thanks, -kb

Writing to a Dictionary Using Lua
by Andrea Gabellini 31 Jan '25

31 Jan '25

Hello, I am using the push_notification_lua plugin and would like to modify my script to write data into a dictionary configured as follows: dict_server { dict proxy { idle_timeout = 300s name = sql slow_warn = 1s } dict sql { sql_driver = mysql mysql localhost { dbname = xxx password = xxx user = xxx } dict_map "shared/dsync/$user" { sql_table = dsync dict_map_value_field last_event { type = uint } dict_map_key_field userid { value = $user } } } } I am not very familiar with Lua, and I couldn't find any relevant examples in the documentation or online. Would it be possible to provide a sample code snippet demonstrating how to write to this dictionary using Lua? Thank you! -- TIM San Marino S.p.A.

"Modseq 34839 no longer in transaction log"
by Kent Borg 30 Jan '25

30 Jan '25

My new custom-built .deb packages seem to work, or at least work better! When new e-mails come in, it quickly attempts a sync, but says it fails: > Jan 29 10:31:49 la dovecot[1199]: doveadm: Error: > doveadm(kentborg)<2465><gL2eARV0mmehCQAAA3PmQQ>: Warning: Failed to do > incremental sync for mai\ > lbox INBOX, retry with a full sync (Modseq 34839 no longer in > transaction log (highest=37557, last_common_uid=12476, nextuid=12614)) Is this a leftover problem from my earlier crashes? I tried a full sync ("doveadm replicator replicate -f kentborg") and rebooting both machines, but I still get the error when new e-mails come in. The number in the error increments by three the several times I have seen this so far. Is there a way to make this happy? Thanks, -kb P.S. I am only doing one-way syncing so far.
