[Dovecot] Migrating from Maildir to dbox+SIS... sdbox or mdbox?
by Charles Marcus 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Ok... Now that I've got the niggling issues resolved, on to bigger and better things. I want to convert everyone from Maildir to dbox and enable SIS (our users use a lot of large attachments), and after some reading/googling, I think it may be better to use dsync instead of rsync for the actual migration after all since it will do this at the same time as the syncing. If I'm not mistaken, once I've figured out the correct syntax for the command, I should be able to do the conversion and migration at the same time. So, that is what I want to do, but I still have to choose between sdbox and mdbox. I tend to feel a little safer with sdbox, just because it seems more stable - and I like the idea that if a file gets corrupted somehow, then it is only that one mail that may potentially be lost, but if mdbox indexes get corrupted, you are guaranteed to lose messages (maybe a lot)... But I also really like the idea of an order of magnitude fewer actual files (would make rsync based backups much faster, etc). Timo - the last comments I was able to find from you were back in 2011... would you mind commenting on the current stated of dbox - especially mdbox, as far as reliability goes? The 'scary warnings' about how important the index files are ... well ... scares me... ;) I know there were definitely some issues with mdbox a few years ago - I found the old thread from 2011, but nothing substantial since, so... So... are there any people here, especially larger installs, using mdbox? sdbox? I'd especially be interested in hearing from anyone who has used both, and picked one over the other, and their reasons for doing so. Thanks, -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] Enabling SIS (single instance storage)
by Charles Marcus 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Ok, didn't find much on this... The bottom of /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf has the following settings: #mail_attachment_dir = #mail_attachment_min_size = 128k #mail_attachment_fs = sis posix #mail_attachment_hash = %{sha1} all of which are apparently the defaults according to doveconf -d output - so no need to set them explicitly, unless I want to change them, right? So, enable the first one - but - the comments don't say anything about supporting variables. I'm assuming you can, otherwise all attachments for all domains would be in a single directory, which some admins might not like (I wouldn't)... so hopefully I can just set it to this: mail_attachment_dir = /var/vmail/%d/.attachments So how does this work during conversion? Users still on maildir simply don't engage it? But as users are converted to dbox, all attachments are de-duped, and then new mails coming in with attachments (for converted users) are de-duped at delivery? The wiki could do with a bit more on enabling and implementing it, especially what to expect when enabling it for the first time on a production system and what to expect along the way when converting existing users... -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] mail_location, user 'home', questions
by Charles Marcus 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Hi all, Ok, another question... I always like changes to the default settings whenever possible (KISS principle)... So, according to the dovecot wiki, the default location for a maildir setup is: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir However, when I first tried to access mail on the new box, something wasn't right, and I ended up having to change this to: mail_location = maildir:~ to get mail to display correctly. The filesystem for a users maildir currently has everything (cur/new/tmp, and the individual folders) inside that users directory, ie: /var/vmail/example.com/user/ Do I need to change this so that everything is under a 'Maildir' subdirectroy inside the users directory, like: /var/vmail/example.com/user/Maildir/ ? Also, I'm aware that it is important that even virtual users have valid 'homes', but I'm confused as to where these are (or are supposed to be) by default. My sql query currently contains: user_query = \ SELECT CONCAT('/var/vmail/', maildir) AS home \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' iterate_query = SELECT username AS user FROM mailbox So... what exactly is this saying? That the users 'home' is '/var/vmail'? Or does it automatically append %d/%u? I'm specifically wondering if the intention for the defaults is for the users home to be: /var/vmail/example.com/user and the users maildirs to be in: /var/vmail/example.com/user/Maildir Would appreciate some clarification... It wouldn't be hard to mv all of the users maildirs to a Maildir subfolder after the sync, but I want to know for sure that that is what I should/need to do... Thanks, -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] dovecot-postfix stack imap_client_workarounds

To use dovecot-postfix stack with thunderbird, do I put the configuration into /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/impad.protocol? That would seem to be how the stack is configured.

[Dovecot] Thunderbird message cache out of sync after repetitive rsyncs...
by Charles Marcus 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Ok, hopefully there is a solution to this. I've been experimenting with multiple rsyncs in preparation for pulling the trigger on the mail server switch, but have a problem that I really want to fox before doing so. Apparently something causes Thunderbirds local message cache to get out of sync with dovecot after a sync. Here is the series of commands I'm running: 1. stop postfix, stop dovecot on new server 2. rsync -rltgovDHP --delete --exclude-from 'excludes.txt' /path/to/vmail/example.com/ /var/vmail/example.com/ 3. chown vmail:vmail /var/vmail 4. start dovecot, start postfix ls -al /var/vmail/example.com/user/cur shows all of the messages that should be there, and all perms are correct. Go to my account that is pointed to this mail server/account, and none of the new messages show up. Also, some messages are still showing up that shouldn't. I've tried compacting the folders, closing/relaunching Thunderbird, but nothing helps. The only way to get them to show up is to go to the local Thunderbird cache for the account, and delete the files associated with the folder having the problem. The problem is, ALL folders will have this problem, which means that everyone will need to delete ALL of their local cahced folders. This will be a major support problem. Anyone have any ideas? -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] Server Migration Attempt - new messages DELETED after secondary rsyncs
by Charles Marcus 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Starting a new thread, as I've got a lot more details now... First, I know this may be (or is even likely) something weird happening with Thunderbird, but the bottom line is, I have to find a resolution or a workaround or something, or I will be unable to pull the trigger on the server migration. It is simply unacceptable to lose ANY mails doing this. Goal: migrate mailstore from old server to new server using rsync Thunderbird (24.2) is set up to access the new account for testing Problem: after rsync, ls shows new messages (11 for the 27th), but when Thunderbird accesses the maildir again after another rsync, MOST (but not all) of the new messages are deleted (only one for the 27th remains) Timo - I'd be happy to do anything necessary to track this down if you'll just tell me what you need... Note: if you are pretty confident that upgrading dovecot on the old server and using dsync to do the migration will solve the problem, obviously I'm willing to do that if there is no other choice, but... I hope you'll want to get to the bottom of this regardless, as, according to you and everything I've read, it should work without losing any emails... Ok, as to details... Source (ol/active server): dovecot 2.1.17, postfix virtual for delivery, vmail owned by postfix:postfix Note: using prefix=INBOX. courier compatibility namespace Target: dovecot 2.2.10, dovecot LDA, vmail owned by vmail:vmail, nothing being actively delivered (yet) Note: NOT using prefix=INBOX. courier compatiblity namespace Both doveconf -n outputs at end of this message *** Could the different namespaces, or differing dovecot versions cause this?

[Dovecot] v2.2.10 released
by Timo Sirainen 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.10.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.10.tar.gz.sig I've been really busy the last few months, as I guess people in Dovecot mailing list have seen since I haven't been very responsive. There are at least some dsync bugs I haven't had time to look into yet. The busyness probably continues for a while more, but the next year is looking much better for me and for Dovecot in general. We're planning to hire a few more Dovecot coders at some point, so if you're interested send me an email. :) + auth: passdb/userdb dict rewrite to support much more complex setups. See doc/example-config/dovecot-dict-auth.conf.ext. The old settings will continue to work. + auth: Added userdb result_success/failure/tempfail and skip settings, similar to passdb's. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase + imap: Implemented SETQUOTA command for admin user when quota_set is configured. See http://master.wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration + quota: Support "*" and "?" wildcards in mailbox names in quota_rules + mysql: Added ssl_verify_server_cert=no|yes parameter. This currently defaults to "no" to make sure nothing breaks, but likely will become "yes" in Dovecot v2.3. + ldap: Added blocking=yes setting to use auth worker processes for ldap lookups. This is a workaround for now to be able to use multiple simultaneous LDAP connections. + pop3c+dsync performance improvements - quota-status: quota_grace was ignored - ldap: Fixed memory leak with auth_bind=yes and without auth_bind_userdn. - imap: Don't send HIGHESTMODSEQ anymore on SELECT/EXAMINE when CONDSTORE/QRESYNC has never before been enabled for the mailbox. - imap: Fixes to handling mailboxes without permanent modseqs. (When [NOMODSEQ] is returned by SELECT, mainly with in-memory indexes.) - imap: Various fixes to METADATA support. - stats plugin: Processes that only temporarily dropped privileges (e.g. indexer-worker) may have been logging errors about not being able to open /proc/self/io.

[Dovecot] obox_fs and Dropbox, someone uses it?
by Alessio Cecchi 27 Dec '13

I purchased the license for the Dovecot Object Storage for Dropbox to test this functionality on a personal domain. Unfortunately I can not make it work, I create the token for my Dropbox account from here https://dropbox.dovecot.fi/ and setup in dovecot configuration. When I try to login with an user I found these errors in log file: ============ Dec 27 10:52:16 mail dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<dovecot1(a)test.it>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=8844, secured, session=<xxCXDIHuTQB/AAAB> Dec 27 10:52:16 mail dovecot: metacache-worker(8839): Error: fs-dropbox: GET 1/metadata/sandbox/dovecot1(a)test.it/idx/?file_limit=25000 failed: 401 Unauthorized Dec 27 10:52:16 archiviomail dovecot: metacache-worker(8839): Error: Failed to iterate dovecot1(a)test.it/idx/: GET 1/metadata/sandbox/dovecot1(a)test.it/idx/?file_limit=25000 failed: 401 Unauthorized Dec 27 10:52:16 mail dovecot: imap(dovecot1(a)test.it): Error: user dovecot1(a)test.it: Initialization failed: Namespace '': obox: USER-REF: /var/run/dovecot/metacache returned failure Dec 27 10:52:16 mail dovecot: imap(dovecot1(a)test.it): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Dec 27 10:52:16 mail dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<dovecot1(a)test.it>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=8846, secured, session=<NTSaDIHuTgB/AAAB> ============= I do not think it's a problem of my configuration, if instead of Dropbox use AWS S3 works fine, seems to be a token problem (401 Unauthorized). The plugin configuration is this: ### Dropbox plugin { obox_fs = fscache 10G:/var/lib/dovecot/cache:dropbox:https://XXXX:YYYY@dropbox/ } Anyone successfully used this setup?

[Dovecot] German Umlauts in folder name and sieve
by Christian Rößner 27 Dec '13

Hi, I had created an imap folder that has German Umlauts in it: „RA Rößner - Merle“ When finished, the result looks like this on filesystem: drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 Dec 27 11:02 RA Ro&AwgA3w-ner - Merle/ I wrote this sieve script (with SOGo): if anyof (address :regex "from" "@.*\\.ra-roessner-merle\\.de") { fileinto "RA Ro&AwgA3w-ner - Merle"; stop; } That creates a new IMAP folder with exactly this strange name.
