[Dovecot] failed creating protocol instance to play queued url
by Ken Mandelberg 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

I run thunderbird (both 3.x and 5.x) against dovecot 2.x and frequently see delays "loading message". I admit to having a very large mailbox and running multiple imap clients. I've turned on thunderbird debugging, and at least one pattern I see in the log during the delays (maybe a minute long) is the failed protocol message above. These are no the only delays, but are the ones that catch my eye. The thunderbird debug logs are not time stamped (that I can tell), so its difficult to go back and find the delays from the log. Here is an example of one of the delays. Any thought? -1215891312[b760f060]: considering playing queued url:imap://km@mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:993/addmsgflags>UID>/INBOX>134829>1 -1215891312[b760f060]: creating protocol instance to play queued url:imap://km@mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:993/addmsgflags>UID>/INBOX>134829>1 -1215891312[b760f060]: failed creating protocol instance to play queued url:imap://km@mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:993/addmsgflags>UID>/INBOX>134829>1 80784240[8db84f80]: ImapThreadMainLoop leaving [this=8f345000] a Minute or so delay -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=153 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $notjunk $Forwarded $label1 $MDNSent junk $junk $label3 junkrecorded $label4 $label2 $label5) -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=187 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $notjunk $Forwarded $label1 $MDNSent junk $junk $label3 junkrecorded $label4 $label2 $label5 \*)] Flags permitted. -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=16 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * 60229 EXISTS -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=12 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * 0 RECENT -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=35 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * OK [UNSEEN 60218] First unseen. -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=42 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1287420195] UIDs valid -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=42 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * OK [UIDNEXT 134841] Predicted next UID -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=36 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 16298] Highest -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=37 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 4 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:S-INBOX:SendData: 5 UID fetch 134841:* (FLAGS) -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=44 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:S-INBOX:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * 60229 FETCH (UID 134840 FLAGS (NonJunk)) -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=23 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:S-INBOX:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 5 OK Fetch completed. -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:S-INBOX:SendData: 6 UID fetch 134829 (UID RFC822.SIZE BODY[]) -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=82 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:S-INBOX:CreateNewLineFromSocket: * 60218 FETCH (UID 134829 RFC822.SIZE 16236 FLAGS (\Seen NonJunk) BODY[] {16236} -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:S-INBOX:STREAM:OPEN Size: 16236: Begin Message Download Stream -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=50 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:S-INBOX:CreateNewLineFromSocket: Return-Path: <sunray-users-bounces(a)filibeto.org> -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=68 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:S-INBOX:CreateNewLineFromSocket: Received: from mr5.cc.emory.edu (mr5.cc.emory.edu [170.140.52.94]) -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=77 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:S-INBOX:CreateNewLineFromSocket: by cssun.mathcs.emory.edu (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id p6IMb4KL014274 -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: ReadNextLine [stream=8e5049c8 nb=67 needmore=0] -1675625616[8e59a5b0]: 9023c800:mailhost.mathcs.emory.edu:S-INBOX:CreateNewLineFromSocket: for <km(a)mathcs.emory.edu>;

[Dovecot] Dovecot2 Antispam plugin questions
by Steve Fatula 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Tried to find some doc on this (other than the c code), couldn't, so, asking. I do almost every programming language, except C! When using DSPAM backend with this tool, will the plugin send ONLY the signature and not the entire message to dspam for retraining? Concerned about very large emails. If this is the case, I'd rather do this than use say the mailtrain backend which I presume would send the entire message. Having some permission problems though with the dspam binary since regular users can't execute dspam the way it is currently set up. Any security reason to not allow regular users to run the binary?

[Dovecot] Shared folders and home directories
by Christian Lerrahn 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi, I've recently migrated a server from a Qmail/VPOPMail setup to a Postfix/system accounts setup. Everything worked pretty much out of the box after just changing the passdb and userdb to pam and passwd. However, I cannot get my shared folders to work. In the logs I will always see something like Jul 21 07:24:10 mybox dovecot: IMAP(foobar): Namespace 'shared/': Could not lookup home for user bla Jul 21 07:24:11 mybox dovecot: IMAP(foobar): userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory Now, I don't understand why I need auth-master to find the home directory of user "bla" (who owns the shared folder). However, even if I configure auth-master, only the error messages will go away but I still can't see the shared folders. The configuration (as shown below) worked fine with vpopmail and is just taken from http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared . What do I have to change to make this work with passwd instead? Do I really need auth-master? If yes, how do I need to set it up to do the job properly?

[Dovecot] %w variable is missing
by Tom Sommer 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi, I just noticed that the %w variable is now empty, after upgrading to version 2.0.11? I can still find references to it in the documentation, and in doc/wiki/Variables.txt - but the variable is empty and I can't find any references to it in the sourcecode. Was it overlooked or has it been removed? I'm in need of it :) Thanks. // Tom

[Dovecot] POP3 vs. IMAP Load/Memory usage in Dovecot 1.0.15
by lists＠truthisfreedom.org.uk 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

Hi all, We've just provisioned a new cluster of dovecot nodes running Centos and Dovecot 1.0.15 (we needed to match the original configuration, we're upgrading to 1.2 next week!). The nodes are currently equally allocated (50/50 split) to IMAP and POP3, with the intention to move them into a single cluster hosting both services in the next month. All the servers are of identical spec (24 cores, 24G RAM) and are configured to load the indices, control files and maildirs via NFS. We have noticed that the IMAP servers appear to be under much less load and utilising drastically less RAM than the POP3 servers and I'm wondering if there is a reason for this as we have seen some swapping onto disk yet we are only handling 500 concurrent POP3 connections to each server at any given time compared with over 600 IMAP connections. I'm wondering if we've missed a config flag somewhere or (better still!) this issue will go away when we upgrade to 1.2. If anyone can shed any light on this, that would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Matt

[Dovecot] dovecot2 on Snow Leopard trouble
by Denis J. Cirulis 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hello list, I have one task to complete - to install and configure imap server on Mac Mini OS X 10.6.8. I'm not new to dovecot, so the favorite imap server is dovecot. Are there any special settings running dovecot on OS X ? I've compiled dovecot 2.0.13 with mysql5 and openssl via macports. Configured virtual users from mysql and turned on all debug, but when I connect to this server via MUA I'm receiving the message "Mailbox locked. Next try in XX seconds" or something like that. No errors in dovecot.log, clean auth process, correct data (passwords,spool dirs) from mysql. Same configuration works on Linux,FreeBSD and Solaris like a charm. What can be a problem running on OS X ?

[Dovecot] Performance with 200k messages in Maildir
by Vegard Svanberg 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

What should I expect performance-wise if I put 200000 messages in a Maildir store and use two or three MUAs (mutt and Thunderbird), on an Athlon dual core 2GHz with SATA drives in software RAID (Linux)? Like; would it be useless/crawling, usable or pretty fast. I imagine MUA startup / first time folder read would be slow, but daily use more or less ok. Thanks to Dovecot's indexing, I imagine I would be better off interfacing Mutt to Maildir via IMAP and Dovecot rather than accessing Maildir/ directly? -- Vegard Svanberg <vegard(a)svanberg.no> [*Takapa@IRC (EFnet)]

[Dovecot] passwd not found
by Erik - versatel 20 Jul '11

If I use in dovecot.conf passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/%d/etc/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } I get an authorisation failure in my mail.log file. If I use passdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/vhosts/shadow } userdb static { args = uid=virtual gid=virtual home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%u allow_all_users=yes } This works !!! (without the %d) in the passdb passwd-file Than the %d/%u is correctly rewritten in the userdb static. PS I have in the passwd-file the username@domain and the username documented for testing. I think there is some problem with the %d (DOMAIN) How can I check if %d is filled ?? And how can i make different authorisationdirs and files per domain.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2, Imap service, client_limit
by Steve Fatula 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

I see back in November of last year, a thread about using client_limit in the imap service (not imap-login) that would allow each imap process serve more than one connection. Sounded good, until I tried it! When I did, unlike the OP of that thread, I got: dovecot: imap(submit.user): Fatal: setuid(503(submit.user) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=501(links): Operation not permitted (This binary should probably be called with process user set to 503(submit.user) instead of 501(links)) So, it would appear that this does not work. Still, the thread was posting results of their testing even that showed it worked. Sample message within the thread, read for more: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-November/054893.html I'd love to be able to use a single imap process for more than one connection. Is this still possible, or, not? If so, how? Steve

[Dovecot] Dovecot + Vpopmail quota issues
by qmail＠top-consulting.net 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

I can't get dovecot to ignore a certain directory/namespace when calculating quotas. I am running dovecot 1.2.16 with vpopmail configured for quotas. I use the dot (.) as my separator and my user structure is as follows: ../domain.com/user/Maildir for all the user directories I also have for each user: ../domain.com/user/Maildir/Archive which is a symlink to a NFS mounted partition that holds read-only archives In dovecot.conf I have defined them as follows: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace private { separator = . prefix = ARCHIVE. inbox = no hidden = yes list = yes location = maildir:~/Maildir/Archive } namespace private { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes } This works very well, in as much as I see the Archive namespace and its folders. The problem arises in the fact that Dovecot insists on calculating the 'Archive' namespace/directory storage towards the total storage used. My Quota configuration is as follows: auth default { mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 passdb vpopmail { args = webmail=192.168.1.12 } userdb vpopmail { args = quota_template=quota_rule3=*:backend=%q } ... } plugin { quota = maildir quota_rule = ?:storage=0 quota_rule2 = Archive:ignore quota_rule3 = ARCHIVE:ignore } From what I've read, this is supposed to use the maildirsize file when available or otherwise return no quota. It worked just fine before this new Archive namespace. For a certain user, vpopmail writes the 'maildirsize' file in ../domain.com/user/Maildir/maildirsize and it contains the correct value ( without the /Archive directory ). The problem is that for some reason, something ( I suspect dovecot ) writes a new maildirsize file in ../domain.com/user/Maildir/Archive/maildirsize which also contains the size of Archive. Subsequently, Dovecot adds the two of them up and usually throws me over quota. To test, I have emptied the maildirsize file under Archive and changed its owner to root (perms are 755 ) so that nobody but root can write to it. Dovecot complained right away about it: Jul 19 12:55:21 pop1 dovecot: IMAP(user(a)domain.com): open(/home/vpopmail/domains/B/domain.com/user/Maildir/Archive/maildirsize) failed: Permission denied Despite passing the quota responsibility to vpopmail it seems that Dovecot still tries to update that file. And finally the question... How do I get dovecot to not calculate a quota for that directory/namespace ?

[Dovecot] Problem with zlib plugin and flags
by Jeremy Maryott 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi, I'm working on enabling the zlib plugin and compressing most of the mail on my mail server, and I've run into a bit of a problem with doing things as described on the wiki's zlib plugin page (here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib) I'm using Dovecot 1.2.15 and maildir as a mailbox format on Debian 5. I have a script that implements the steps listed at the bottom of the wiki page. The problem has to do with step 5, which recommends that you add a 'Z' flag to each email that you compress so that you don't compress it again. The problem that I ran into is that when you move an email to another mail folder, this flag appears to go away. As a result, my script has compressed some emails that were already compressed, rendering them unreadable by Dovecot. I've mostly solved that problem, and my compression script now runs 'file' and looks to see if it's gzipped already for each file that's a candidate for compression. I'm not sure this is the best solution (it's definitely slower than just checking the filename), so I'm open to better alternatives. Reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir, I see that Dovecot supports 'non-standard fields' specified after normal flags and a comma. It seems like that might be a better place to put the 'Z' flag, if Dovecot won't retain it when places with the normal flags. I'm unsure how the filename would look if it doesn't currently have any flags, though. Would there just be two commas in a row, followed by my non-standard flag? If I haven't missed or misconfigured anything and what I said above is correct, the wiki should be changed so others don't run into the same problems I have. I'm happy to do so, but I didn't want to make any changes without making sure I was right about what was going on. Thanks, Jeremy
