Alternate Storage altmove not working bug
by Daniel van Ham Colchete 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hello everyone! I would like to report a bug here. We are using dovecot's sdbox with alternate storage here. From time to time my SSD partition gets full and I always find users with lots of e-mails stuck there, and altmove just won't move them. It moves most of the e-mails correctly, but a few was getting stuck everyday. So, I think I have found the problem! When a user moves the message from one mailbox to another, the move will keep all the flags! Including MAIL_INDEX_MAIL_FLAG_BACKEND 0x40. So, altmove think this message was already moved and doesn't do anything. I did a doveadm dump on the destination mailbox's index and what I see is a lot of this: RECORD: seq=104, uid=104, flags=0x48 (Seen) - ext 0 keywords : (0000) - ext 1 modseq : 12 (0c00000000000000) - ext 3 cache : 14004 (b4360000) - cache offset=14004 size=76, prev_offset = 0 - mime.parts: (48000000b404000000000000cc04000000000000e542000000000000fd4300000000000018010000) (pos=0 hdr.p=1204 hdr.v=1228 body.p=17125 body.v=17405 flags=48) - size.physical: 18329 (9947000000000000) - date.received: 1418235366 (e68d8854) Although the 0x40 flag is set, the file still lives on the main/ssd storage area. My config: http://pastebin.com/8Wk4bfRK Dovecot version: 2.2.5-0~auto+22 Host is Xeon E3 64bit, running Debian 7. Filesystem is plain local ext4 on both storage areas I know my version is outdated but I didn't find anything related to this there. Just one last question: how can I remove that flag from the message? I have taken a look at doveadm-flags(1) but it doesn't seem to allow anything on that flag. Thank you very much! Best, Daniel Colchete

Return code 139 when enabling auth debugging
by Stefan Midjich 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi I'm running dovecot 2.2.10 installed from base repos on CentOS 7. I'm trying to use sqlite as an auth backend but it's not working so I enabled some auth debugging settings in conf.d/10-logging.conf and then dovecot refused to start. sudo dovecot -F produced 139. Here is doveconf -n: http://dpaste.com/2BNB2F7 Unfortunately when I have these settings enabled doveconf does not work and only produces the first comment line. So here is the output of sudo grep -v '^#' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf | grep -v '^$': http://dpaste.com/0G0VVK8 And when these settings are uncommented dovecot -F produces return code 139 and no output. So I'm having a hard time troubleshooting my authentication when I can't even troubleshoot my debug options not working. ;) -- Hälsningar / Greetings http://Stefan.Midjich.name

Trying to get mail working
by Steve Matzura 15 May '15

15 May '15

I have charge of a very mixed system--current OS (Fedora 20--OK 21's out but I just haven't upgraded yet), current (or nearly so) Mailman (2.1.18-1), Postfix 2.10 with a configuration file sfrom something a lot older which I've run through the upgrade-configuration procedure, and old Dovecot (1.0.15). Is there anything I can do to test each of these components individually, then add a second component and test the three pairs, then all three together? I am nobody's definitioin of an expert in any of these three components, so am having a lot of trouble making them work together, so I thought maybe there might be some test procedure that might straighten me out. Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] IMAP and POP3 operations log per user
by Jorge Bastos 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi, I'd like to have a log per user, and protocol (imap+pop3), where this log would tell me/save the message sender+subject+operation (deleted, marked to expunge/other/was read/other). Is there something similar to this that already exists? If not is there something like this on the TODO/whishlist? Thanks in advanced, Jorge Bastos

Pigeonhole v0.4.8.rc3 compilation error (bad mail-deliver.h)
by Jacques Distler 14 May '15

14 May '15

Got a /usr/local/include/dovecot/mail-deliver.h:30:17: error: field has incomplete type 'struct timeval' struct timeval delivery_time_started; ^ error. This is because mail-deliver.h in dovecot-2.2.17 is missing an #include <sys/time.h> Adding that line to mail-deliver.h fixes the problem. Oddly, I had no problem compiling dovecot itself.

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.17.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.17.tar.gz.sig A few director improvements since RC2, some fixes and a new plugin: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/QuotaClone * Dovecot no longer checks or warns if a mountpoint is removed. This was causing more trouble than it was worth. Make sure that all the mountpoints that Dovecot accesses aren't writable by mail processes when they're unmounted. * dict server wasn't properly escaping/unescaping data. Fixing this broke backwards compatibility with data that contains line feeds. This hopefully affects only very few installations. If you're using dict to save multiline data (Sieve scripts to SQL), you may be affected. * imap: SPECIAL-USE capability is no longer advertised if there are no special_use flags specified for any mailboxes. + lmtp: Added lmtp_hdr_delivery_address setting to specify whether to include email address in Delivered-To: and Received: headers. + Added initial version of full text search library, which includes language-specific text normalization and filtering. This is still in development, but it's already possible to use for testing with fts-lucene and fts-solr. + lda, lmtp: deliver_log_format can now include %{delivery_time}, which expands to how many milliseconds it took to deliver the mail. With LMTP %{session_time} also expands to how many milliseconds the LMTP session took, not including the delivery time. + lmtp proxy: Mail delivery logging includes timing information. + imap: Most IMAP commands now include in the tagged reply how many milliseconds it took to run the command (not counting the time spent on waiting for the IMAP client to read/write data). + director: Implemented director_proxy_maybe passdb extra field to be able to run director and backend in the same Dovecot instance. (LMTP doesn't support mixed proxy/non-proxy destinations currently.) + doveadm: Added -F <file> parameter to read a list of users from the given file and run the command for all the users. This is similar to -A parameter reading the list of users from userdb lookup. + Implemented initial Cassandra CQL support as lib-sql backend.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.8.rc3 for Dovecot v2.2.17
by Stephan Bosch 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hello Dovecot users, RC2 had one more important bug caused by the new sieve_default_name feature. To prevent causing more of such rather stupid bugs in the future, I created an external shell-based test suite to test dovecot-lda delivery, the doveadm sieve tools and ManageSieve. These kind of tests aren't possible with the current Sieve-based test suite that is included in the Pigeonhole tarball. Now I can test most basic top-level Pigeonhole functionality in one go. Additionally, I created one new feature for ManageSieve. It allows logging various statistics at client disconnect, much like POP3 currently supports. This is e.g. useful for debugging. In the process, I fixed a few ManageSieve bugs as well. If RC3 doesn't cause any more issues, I will release 0.4.8 this Friday. Changelog v0.4.8 (updated): * LDA Sieve plugin: Dovecot changed the deliver_log_format setting to include %{delivery_time}. This prompted changes in Pigeonhole that make this release dependent on Dovecot v2.2.17. + Implemented magic to make sieve_default script visible from ManageSieve under a configurable name. This way, users can see the default rules, edit them and store a private adjusted version. This could also be achieved by copying the default script into the user's script storage, but updates to the global sieve_default script would be ignored that way. + ManageSieve: Implemented support for reporting command statistics at disconnect. Statistics include the number of bytes and scripts uploaded/downloaded/checked and the number of scripts deleted/renamed. - Fixed problem in address test: erroneously decoded mime-encoded words in address headers. - extprograms plugin: Fixed failure occurring when connecting to script service without the need to read back the output from the external program. - Fixed bug in script storage path normalization occurring with relative symbolic links below root. - Fixed and updated various parts of the documentation - ManageSieve: Used "managesieve" rather than "sieve" as login service name, which means that all managesieve-specific settings where ignored. - Managesieve: Storage quota was not always enforced properly for scripts uploaded as quoted string. Nobody uses that, but it is allowed in the specification and we support it, so it should work properly. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.rc3… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.rc3… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl
