dsync dovecot / Failed connection refused

Dear all, I am using VMWare and I have cloned my emails server. Now I do have two identicals servers, both running the same version of dovecot (2.2.13) and imap.

Benchmarking auth
by micah anderson 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

Hello, I'm attempting to use imaptest to test auths/sec on my imap server, to simulate the number I'm getting now on a new server. Based on my readings of dovecot stats outputs, my current machine is doing somewhere between 11.6 and 196 logins/sec at its busiest, and I want to make sure the new server can handle that amount. With imaptest I attempt to simulate this by just simulating login/logout speed, but I'm not sure I understand the results and where things are being blocked. For testing purposes, I set: mail_max_userip_connections = 6000 mail_max_userip_connections = 6000 auth_worker_max_count = 240 If you have some additional suggestions for what I can also tweak here to improve this, I would like to know. I then ran imaptest with: imaptest clients=196 user=test pass=testpw host=127.0.0.1 port=14300 - select=0 seed=123 secs=300 It doesn't seem like I can simulate *only* authentications/logins. I have to pair them with logouts. It makes me wonder how I can simulate the amount of load on my current live system on this system. How do I read the output? I don't really understand what is being shown here: Logi Logo 100% 100% 0 0 100/100 [51%] does this mean that it tried 100 logins and 100 logouts and 51% succeeded? What are the first two columns? 7 7 104/121 [61%] 6 6 131/139 [70%] 3 3 137/148 (84 stalled >3s) [75%] 84 stalled for more than 3 seconds, how does this relate to the other values presented? 5 5 155/163 (79 stalled >3s) [83%] 1 1 166/166 (107 stalled >3s) [84%] 2 2 168/172 (128 stalled >3s) [87%] 6 5 179/190 (140 stalled >3s) [96%] 22 22 182/196 (136 stalled >3s) 4 3 195/196 (133 stalled >3s) 5845 129 ms/cmd avg I really wonder if these first two columns are ms/cmds?

Apparent Maildir permission issue

Timing information for passdb/userdb lookups
by Marcus Rückert 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

Hi, it would be nice to have an option to enable logging for timings without having to go with auth_verbose/auth_debug. If you try to track down if a slowdown for logging in comes from e.g. running out of login workers or if your auth backend is slow it would really help to get just a one line message per userdb/passdb with the timing for this lookup. something like: imap-login(<username>): userdb ldap lookup time 0.4s imap-login(<username>): passdb ldap lookup time 0.2s or even merging into one: imap-login(<username>): userdb ldap lookup time 0.4s passdb ldap lookup time 0.2s darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org

Clamping down on mailbox sizes...
by SH Development 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

I don’t want to do this for all users….but… I have a few users who insist that they use their mailboxes regularly and don’t want it cancelled. Fine. But they won’t clean them out either. What steps would you all recommend for setting quotas on some users but not others? Specifically starting out with identifying WHICH accounts have excessive amounts of crap in them, by age, then sending them a notice stating they are going to get limited, then deleting mail older than x number of days if they don’t do it themselves by a certain time frame... Thoughts? Jeff

As I read the docs, the auth policy server would only get the hashed password, and wouldn't be able to record the plaintext password. Maybe use the checkpassword hook? http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/CheckPassword Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Quota count does not work with lock_method=dotlock
by mkliewe＠gmx.de 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Hello, dovecot crashes when I switch the quota tracking from dict to count. The following is working since years: quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota I'm using a mysql quota dictionary. Now I want to switch to the new "quota count" + "quota clone" combination. I'm loading the "quota_clone" plugin, and: #quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota quota = count:User quota quota_vsizes = yes quota_clone_dict = proxy::quota It works on a maschine where I'm using NFS with lock_method=fcntl. It's crashing on another maschine where I'm using NFS with lock_method=dotlock. See below. Sadly I have to use dotlock, because of the NFS server. It looks like quota count does not (yet) work with dotlock?

Log authentication attempts
by rej ex 24 Jan '17

24 Jan '17

Hi everyone, We are running Dovecot 2.2.9 as a primary IMAP server. Also we use Dovecot SASL for SMTP authentication. Because we are building some monitoring application, we will need to record all failed and successful login attempts. We need to record remote IP, entered password in plain text, and if possible whether auth request is for SMTP or IMAP session. I checked http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting and noticed that post-login scripts are executed only after result_success, but not after result_failure (password mismatch). Also I read http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase where I saw that since version 2.2.10 it is possible to control what happens after passdb check, but allowed result values don't include executing custom script. Does anyone know a way to call external binary / script, or at least save a record in the database after login attempt without reading the log files? P.S. there is also a special case. When someone logs in from webmail, remote IP is set to webmail's server. In this case, we will log the attempt from the webmail itself, because it has the correct remote IP. Robin Wood
