[Dovecot] bug? Maildir ... sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox
by Peter Gervai 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

Version: 1.00alpha2 Error: imap(grin): Maildir /home/grin/Maildir sync: UID < next_uid (94 < 95, file = 1127311363.H977932P25148.gollum:2,) imap(grin): Maildir /home/grin/Maildir sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox (95 > 94, file = 1127311363.H977932P25148.gollum:2,) This error reappears frequently. Doesn't go away by restarting dovecot, but does go away when I delete all index and cache and whatnot (and restart dovecot). Appears in 10 minutes again... Could be sylpheed-claws-whatever-alpha imap problem, but whatever the client does dovecot shouldn't be fall apart I believe. Peter

[Dovecot] Another address-spec problem
by Chris Wakelin 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

I've had complaints from users about "MISSING_DOMAIN" in header fields and I've tracked it down to having "." in an unquoted display name. By my reading of RFC2822 (especially section 4.1) A N Other <a.n.other(a)somewhere.org> "A. N. Other" <a.n.other(a)somewhere.org> are legal, but A. N. Other <a.n.other(a)somewhere.org> is "obsolete", but should be supported by the server (no clients should do it). I think the relevant syntax is phrase = 1*word / obs-phrase word = atom / quoted-string obs-phrase = word *(word / "." / CFWS) and rfc822_parse_phrase() should be modified to cope with "obs-phrase". I'll have a go, but if Timo or anybody knows how to do it properly, that would be better!

[Dovecot] virtual passwords
by Michael Collins 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I just set up postfix with some virtual domains and users. Dovecot made some dbs in /etc/dovecot. a passdb and userdb. the passdb file has passwords in there and I want to at least know what it is. I have tried to do 'echo -n mypassword | openssl md5 -hex' and insert that into them but it seems to not work. Probably something I am doing wrong. I looked at the archive and could not figure out how to search it. Anyway how do i change a password? Thanks. this is passdb: andreux@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 andrew@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 sikki@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 amanda@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 info@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 help@bla.com:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 andrew@blu.biz:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 andreux@blu.biz:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 eric@blu.biz:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 jjenkins@blu.biz:$1$G/FqlOG5$Vj0xmc9fKY.UVr8OWr/7C1 -- -- Michael H.

[Dovecot] problem with postgreSQL connect=
by octane indice 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

Hello I'm using dovecot with virtual accounts stored in a postgreSQL db. I use in the dovecot.conf: auth_userdb = pgsql /usr/local/etc/dovecot-pgsql-user.conf (and same for pass). In the file dovecot-pgsql-user.conf, I use: connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=vmail user=lecteur password=lire user_query = SELECT '/var/spool/vhosts/'||nom_domaine||'/'||nom_boite AS mail,5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM boites WHERE email = '%u' It doesn't work. If I write: connect = dbname=vmail user=lecteur user_query = SELECT '/var/spool/vhosts/'||nom_domaine||'/'||nom_boite AS mail,5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM boites WHERE email = '%u' It works. Of course the query with psql works: psql -U lecteur -h 127.0.0.1 vmail -c "SELECT '/var/spool/vhosts/'||nom_domaine||'/'||nom_boite AS mail,5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM boites WHERE email = '%u' " with the password 'lire' My question: do I make something wrong? I want to use the network, because in future, dovecot will not be on the same host than postgreSQL. Thanks --------------------------------------------- Etes vous un consom'Acteur ?

[Dovecot] Lost transaction log file /Users/frohro/Maildir/dovecot.index.log.2 seq 1
by Rob Frohne 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

Hi, I got a bunch of the following errors: Lost transaction log file /Users/frohro/Maildir/dovecot.index.log.2 seq 1 when I was trying to apply some rules to move messages from one mailbox to another. Things hadn't been working well and I had recently upgraded to alpha 2, so I moved all dovecot* files in my Maildir/. Things then seem to work better. Rob -- Rob Frohne, Ph.D., P.E. E.F.

[Dovecot] Weird series of errors with dovecot-stable
by Ben Beuchler 21 Sep '05

21 Sep '05

I'm using the dovecot-stable from 7/30, authenticating against an OpenLDAP server. From time to time, dovecot stops responding to new queries. It seems to be a self-correcting problem, lasting about 20 minutes. Here's how it starts: Aug 18 19:38:23 cliff dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity [150.253.42.12] Aug 18 19:38:36 cliff dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity [68.46.174.217] Aug 18 19:39:35 cliff dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity [150.253.42.12] Normally I see almost no "Disconnected: Inactivity" messages, but when this problem shows up I get an almost non-stop barrage of them. In fact, over the 20 minutes or so, there's about 150 of those entries, so I filtered them out of the log snippets. I also filtered out any "normal" activity during the time period. Here's what's left: Aug 18 19:40:29 cliff dovecot: auth(ldap): file mech.c: line 117 (auth_request_destroy): assertion failed: (request->refcount > 0) Aug 18 19:40:29 cliff dovecot: child 22347 (auth) killed with signal 6 Aug 18 19:42:04 cliff dovecot: auth(ldap): ldap(vmail,150.253.80.31): unknown user Aug 18 19:42:41 cliff dovecot: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: EOF [24.26.184.219] Aug 18 19:43:25 cliff dovecot: auth(ldap): Login process has too old (126s) requests, killing it.

[Dovecot] ALL TCP/IP connection REST when one mail contains format error
by Yi Xuan 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

Hi, I have setup a dovecot pop3 server on IP_A and using mbox format I have 6 users behind a NATed network, the public IP is IP_B. And one mail of one user seems contain format error. He always cannot receive the 5th mail from anywhere. Then when he receive mail in the intranet, all the TCP/IP connection REST between IP_A and IP_B. http/ssh/pop/smtp etc. all NG. After I delete the 5th mail from webmail, then the services work well. 1.It seems unreasonable, Can dovecot improve it and let it donot influence other users and other service? 2.What may cause mbox format error? and how can we avoid it? Best regards,

[Dovecot] Two strange behaviours with dovecot+postfix+squirrelmail
by Francisco Neira 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

Hi all, About a week ago I was forced to migrate my main (production) email server from RH9 to Centos4.1. The installation has dovecot-0.99.11 + postfix-2.1.5 and >600 mbox accessed email accounts. Number 1. Some users accessing thru squirremail (installed in my webserver) can read their INBOX at /var/spool/mail directory but when trying to delete a message they receive the following error message from squirrelmail: ERROR: Could not complete request. Consulta: COPY 1279 "mail/Trash" Reason Given: Internal error occured. Error report written to server log. [2005-09-16 15:08:04] and the error logged is the following: Sep 16 15:09:27 mail imap(username): mkdir_parents(/home/username//mail/.imap/Trash) failed: Permission denied I never stated that .imap/Trash when configuring dovecot and the strangest thing is that my account, as most of others, can delete messages moving from /var/spool/mail/my_name to /home/my_name/mail/Trash Number 2. Randomly, some users connecting from Mozilla Thunderbird via IMAP get an error message telling that there has been an error connecting to INBOX. Watching the maillog I found the following: Sep 16 13:07:43 mail imap(otheruser): File isn't in mbox format: /var/spool/mail/otheruser I accessed the user's inbox file with vi and found that there was a "--604" at the beginning of the file. In other case I found that the file was beginning with a truncated email message. Trying to "walk on the safer side", I changed the mbox_lock setting from "fcntl" to "dotlock" in the /etc/dovecot.conf file. Any suggestions and comments about his will be highly appreciated. Forgive me about my English, it is not my native lanaguage. Regards, -- Francisco Neira B. Administrador de Red Defensoria del Pueblo Lima, Peru, -05:00 UTC

[Dovecot] NO: Unsupported authentication mechanism
by Steve [Dovecot] 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

I'm happily using dovecot as my IMAP server and accessing mails using Thunderbird... but I want to use the Net::IMAP facilities in the Ruby standard library to write some scripts to automate various spam-related tasks & housekeeping. My Ruby script: require "net/imap" imap = Net::IMAP.new('localhost') imap.authenticate('LOGIN','myuser','mypassword') # More stuff using imap... From the documentation LOGIN uses plaintext authentication - which I understand is always acceptable for Dovecot when connecting from localhost. On the 3rd line I get a "NO response" exception raised (indicating that the IMAP server replied "NO") and the error message "Net::IMAP::NoResponseError: Unsupported authentication mechanism" If I change 'LOGIN' to 'CRAM-MD5' (the other value supported by Net::IMAP) then I get a similar (but not identical) error: "Net::IMAP::NoResponseError: Authentication failed: Unsupported authentication mechanism" If I use anything other than either 'LOGIN' or 'CRAM-MD5' I get an error from the Net::IMAP library saying "Unknown auth type" - which is reasonable. N.B. I've tried both where 'myuser' and 'mypassword' are valid - and not... this doesn't affect the error messages. There doesn't seem to be anything of interest in /var/log/messages... Can anyone tell me what is going wrong, and how to resolve this?

[Dovecot] FreeBSD port
by David King 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

FreeBSD users: I notice that the version of Dovecot in the FreeBSD ports system is back at .99. Are there any objections to my submitting an update to the FreeBSD ports for version 1.0a? Is it better to wait for 1.0 to be progressed a little or is it considered to be ready? 1.0a compiles and seems to run fine (on 5.3), so are there any obvious patches that would be needed for the FreeBSD build? -- Don't forget that 19 September is National Talk-Like-A-Pirate Day! http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html

[Dovecot] Very minor feature request
by Steffen Kaiser 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

Hello, I'd suggest a way to get to know the "capabilities" of a compiled Dovecot. The background is that I've run the sequence ./configure --with-ldap && make && make install twice, all three commands tell me that all is fine (ldap is listed in the modules), but still dovecot told me that ldap is no Usedb module. A "make clean" before solved the problem -- well, something one should anyway. Besides, the "dovecot --capabilities" should also list all the defaults. Bye, -- Steffen Kaiser

[Dovecot] "racing" error ???
by Andy Cravens 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Anybody know what this racing error means? I've got hundreds of them in my Dovecot log file. I tried to search the archives but couldn't find a search link. Nothing on Google search either. dovecot: Aug 30 16:55:54 Error: IMAP(testuser): maildir_file_do(/export/home/testuser/mail) racing -- Andy Cravens

[Dovecot] Newbie question
by Andrés Rusconi 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Hi, my name is Andrés Rusconi, from Tucumán, Argentina. Sorry my English, please. I am a very happy new user of Dovecot: I gained speed and simplicity with him. But I noticed that in clients who use Outlook, the deleted messages do not copy to the trash folder. This is not critical, but did not happen with Courier, and the users askme about this behavior. If some of you has somehow solved this small question, I will thank for their commentary. Saludos Andrés

[Dovecot] Master account
by Diego M. Vadell 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Hi, Is there an administrator o master account in dovecot, which could be able too access all mailboxes? I need to periodically delete some emails (older than a number of days). I wanted to use imapfilter, a program that uses imap to access mailboxes to do that, but as the users can change their passwords, I can't do it. Is there a way to do that? Thanks in advance, -- Diego.

[Dovecot] Dovecot & SquirrelMail
by Mark Smith 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

At the moment SquirrelMail can only view the INBOX folder. Trash, Sent, Drafts and other folders i create are not listed. I remember there is a config in dovecot.conf to view where the default box is. I'm not sure how it should be set. My Inbox is in: /var/mail/$user/ The Other Dirs are in: /home/user/mail/ What should the config look like? Please Help Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn.co.uk/newsletters

[Dovecot] Local authentication without password
by Sebastjan Trepca 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Hi, is it possible to configure dovecot so that users from a specific IP (let's say 127.0.0.1) don't have to send password? They would be authenticated no matter if passwords match or not. Thanks, Sebastjan

[Dovecot] Error indexing mbox file (LF error)
by Kevin Old 18 Sep '05

18 Sep '05

Hello everyone, I'm getting the error below for 2 different users on my system of 150+ users: Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3-login: Login: cah [::ffff:172.16.3.107] Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Error indexing mbox file /var/mail/cah: LF not found where expected Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Error indexing mbox file /var/mail/cah: LF not found where expected Sep 12 09:32:49 uavco pop3(cah): Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occured. Refer to server log for more information. [2005-09-12 09:32:49] I've read in the archives that it's the blank line at the beginning of the mbox file, and once deleted everything works fine. The thing is, it keeps happening and I can't figure out why. Email clients that send mail to these accounts are the latest Outlook Express. As I said, I have 150+ users on the same system and they are fine. I'm not sure if protocol makes a difference, but we are using POP3 only. Any ideas what I can do to fix/prevent/correct this either programatically or with a patch of some sort? Is this actively being worked on? I'm running FC4 with dovecot-0.99.14-4.fc4. Any help is appreciated! Kevin -- Kevin Old kevinold(a)gmail.com
