FTS-Solr: indexer-worker does not find mailbox
by Marc Stürmer 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Greetings, I am running Dovecot v. 2.2.13 on a Gentoo Box. Mail users are virtual, data for them is stored in a MySQL-DB, Sieve is enabled and deliver is the LDA in conjunction with Postfix. This setup has been running for a few years now without problems, the configuration works. Some weeks ago the setup was still on a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS box, and Dovecot was v. 2.0.9. I've installed a Tomcat there with Solr and configured the FTS-Solr plugin from Dovecot. Worked like a charm without any problems at all. Now the same setup on the Gentoo box does not work at all; either indexer-worker does not find the directory or is just indexing 0 messages. Solr is also installed again (v. 3.6.0) on Tomcat, and Solr is running properly. I checked it with my browser and the logs, they are showing no errors. gentoo ~ # dovecot --version 2.2.13 dovecot -n: http://pastebin.com/NqLfrbp8 dovecot-sql.conf: http://pastebin.com/KLf4pjJZ Debug log.

Virtual User Authentication
by Jerry 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

I have only "virtual users" on the system that I maintain. I am using Postfix which is configured to use Devecot for authentication. I get several attempts everyday to hack into the system, both via Postfix and directly via Dovecot. The following is from the dovecot log: Nov 11 04:14:48 auth-worker(21005): Error: pam(monica,69.193.88.146): pam_authenticate() failed: authentication error (/etc/pam.d/dovecot missing?) Now, I do not use "pam" on this system. Is there a way I can eliminate Dovecot from trying to use it? -- Jerry

Replication Advice Needed
by Asai 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

I successfully set up Dovecot replication, having 2 servers syncing with each other. While I had both servers in the same room on a Gigabit network, they were syncing fine. But I took one to another location, and syncing was turned off for about 2 weeks. Now I've turned both back on, they're sort of syncing, but not really. The one remote server is not populating emails into various folders and it really should be cranking to sync those emails. Do anyone have any insights on how we could troubleshoot this? -- --Asai

deliver an email to a large number of local users directly via doveadm
by Mahdi Mahdi 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Hello,We have a mail service that uses postfix and dovecot. We would like to send an email to a large number of users(about 100K). However, it takes too long to send the email through smtp. Is there any solution to deliver the email locally to all user mailboxes directly.dovecot uses lmtp for transfering local emails. the worst solutoin is that copy the email to all mailboxes via linux file system. But we would prefer to use some tools provided by dovecot like doveadm. is there any way to do this job?

mail location change results in various errors
by Cliff Hayes 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

I have a sendmail/dovecot imap/pop3 system that has been running with the following mail_location: mail_location = mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u In order to reduce errors and simplify operation I removed imap and am now only responding to pop3. I'd like to also simplify the mail_location to get rid of index errors since I don't need indexes: mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%n But when I applied the new mail_location I began to get the following five errors: Nov 6 23:17:24 sendmail dovecot: pop3(chayes): Warning: UIDVALIDITY changed (1132434125 -> 1205169149) in mbox file /var/spool/mail/chayes Nov 6 23:17:26 sendmail dovecot: pop3(chayes): Panic: Message unexpectedly expunged from index Nov 6 23:17:26 sendmail dovecot: pop3(chayes): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0() [0x3340045e2a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0() [0x3340045e6e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x3340019eb3] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0() [0x3ef62567ed] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0() [0x3ef6256e75] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0() [0x3ef62928ed] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_mail_set_seq+0x76) [0x3ef6294ae6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0() [0x3ef625698c] -> dovecot/pop3() [0x405ec7] -> dovecot/pop3(client_command_execute+0x6d7) [0x4071c7] -> dovecot/pop3(client_handle_input+0x78) [0x405618] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x36) [0x3340052c36] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xa7) [0x3340053a57] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x3340052778] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x334003e3c3] -> dovecot/pop3(main+0x283) [0x403cc3] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x359f821a05] -> dovecot/pop3() [0x403e2d] Nov 6 23:17:26 sendmail dovecot: pop3(chayes): Fatal: master: service(pop3): child 3358 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) Nov 6 23:18:00 sendmail dovecot: pop3(jbkirk): Error: open(/var/spool/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log) failed: Permission denied (euid=2151(jbkirk) egid=12(mail) missing +r perm: /var/spool/mail/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log, dir owned by 3575:12 mode=0770) dovecot -n output # 2.1.16: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = plain disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { driver = pam } protocols = pop3 ssl = no ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } What do I need to do to transition to the new mail_location without the errors?
