[Dovecot] shared folder: messages become invisible
by Burckhard Schmidt 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hello, after dealing with shared folder within version 2.0 rc* I started using it with a group of users. user1 shares a folder to user2. user2 has access to messages of this shared folder. After a "random" time (minutes up to several days) user2 doesn't see those messages anymore. user1 (the owner) hasn't changed anything inside this folder. All messages are still in place and normal visible for him. If user1 copies (whit TB) a messages into that folder user2 can see sometimes all messages again. But after a "random" time it happens again. user2 sees an empty shared folder. Deleting dovecot.index.log and dovecot.index.cache does not help. I have version 2.0.11 (2.0.10 same problem). mail_gid = sysdov mail_uid = sysdov namespace { inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace { list = yes location = maildir:%%h/maildir:CONTROL=~/control/FremdeOrdner/%%u:LAYOUT=fs prefix = FremdeOrdner/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } mail_location = maildir:~/maildir:INDEX=/addons/index/%u:CONTROL=~/control:LAYOUT=fs I checked in a dialog: user1: 1 login user1 ... 1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in 1 list "" "*" ... * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "94ssl" #this one is shared to user2 * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "94ssl/ansicht" #this one too user2: 1 login user2 ... 1 OK [CAPABILITY ... 1 list "" "*" ... * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user1/94ssl" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "FremdeOrdner/user1/94ssl/ansicht" ... user1: 1 examine 94ssl * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. * 2 EXISTS # 2 messages * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1301570235] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 3] Predicted next UID * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 4] Highest 1 OK [READ-ONLY] Select completed. 1 examine 94ssl/ansicht * OK [CLOSED] Previous mailbox closed. * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft unknown-0) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. * 6 EXISTS # 6 messages * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1301570236] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 7] Predicted next UID * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 14] Highest 1 OK [READ-ONLY] Select completed. user2 1 examine FremdeOrdner/user1/94ssl * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. * 0 EXISTS # no message, should be 2 * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1301570944] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 6] Predicted next UID * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 11] Highest 1 OK [READ-ONLY] Select completed. 1 examine FremdeOrdner/user1/94ssl/ansicht * OK [CLOSED] Previous mailbox closed. * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk unknown-0) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. * 0 EXISTS # no message, shold be 6 * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1301570943] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 33] Predicted next UID * OK [HIGHESTMODSEQ 37] Highest 1 OK [READ-ONLY] Select completed. user1/control/94ssl/dovecot-uidlist: 3 V1301570235 N1 G8406fb358864944d710300000cd09d4f 1 :1301570819.M719509P910.suncom2,S=1319,W=1348 2 :1301585261.M338176P881.suncom2,S=23758,W=24220 user1/control/94ssl/ansicht/dovecot-uidlist: 3 V1301570236 N1 G3e8f0f00b862944d6f0300000cd09d4f 1 :1301570366.M22178P901.suncom2,S=1149,W=1173 2 :1301575917.M12924P1028.suncom2,S=1035,W=1055 3 :1301576897.M502460P1043.suncom2,S=1156,W=1183 4 :1301580697.M399644P1089.suncom2,S=1147,W=1174 5 :1285149220.M287482P15434.suncom2,S=1122,W=1149 6 :1301582382.M287792P1196.suncom2,S=1019,W=1039 user2/control/FremdeOrdner/user1/dovecot-uidvalidity: 4d946580 user2/control/FremdeOrdner/user1/dovecot-uidvalidity.4d946580 user2/control/FremdeOrdner/user1/94ssl/dovecot-uidlist: 3 V1301570944 N6 G9536eb178474944db10300000cd09d4f 3 :1301585261.M338176P881.suncom2,S=23758,W=24220 4 :1301570819.M719509P910.suncom2,S=1319,W=1348 user2/control/FremdeOrdner/user1/94ssl/ansicht/dovecot-uidlist: 3 V1301570943 N33 G5efdb6247f65944d880300000cd09d4f 21 :1301570366.M22178P901.suncom2,S=1149,W=1173 22 :1301575917.M12924P1028.suncom2,S=1035,W=1055 23 :1301576897.M502460P1043.suncom2,S=1156,W=1183 24 :1301580697.M399644P1089.suncom2,S=1147,W=1174 25 :1301582382.M287792P1196.suncom2,S=1019,W=1039 26 :1285149220.M287482P15434.suncom2,S=1122,W=1149 -- regards --- Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] doveadm search doesn't update fts
by metro_domain_admin＠fastmail.fm 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hello, Doveadm search is failing to update our Squat indexes. The search itself works fine but the dovecot.index.search* files remain unchanged. I tried: doveadm search -u test mailbox INBOX body sometext doveadm search -u test mailbox INBOX text sometext I also tried the exact syntax Timo expressed in an earlier post: doveadm search -A body asdf If I run the same search through IMAP, the index files update as expected. The searches finish with a clean exit status and nothing shows up in the logs. I upgraded from 2.0.0 to 2.0.11 but the problem remains. >From doveconf -n: plugin { fts = squat } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 16 mail_plugins = $mail_plugins fts fts_squat } Thank you, Tony

I am trying > not to chmod 777 every mailbox. I was going to write about the same problem. This got me over the hump: chmod 0600 /var/spool/mail/* All my user's mailboxes used to be group=mail mode=0660. I think these settings were left over from Solaris' mail.local: I can't reproduce these permissions now, even for new mailboxes. Maybe it's because the spool directory is now mode=1777 (not g+s mail). Not too keen on these permissions either, but it seems to work. Dovecot seems to transfer group permissions of the mailbox to its corresponding cache. If it can't set group ownership, you get the fatal error message above. If the original mailbox is mode 0600, dovecot is smart enough not to set group ownership. I couldn't find this information: shouldn't it be documented here? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Permissions This situation could also happen if a user is revoked from a group's membership. Would it be useful to make this a configurable behaviour whereby a chgrp() failure of cache files will fall back to chown'ing to user=owner, mode=0600 instead? Or just leave the user to scratch their head? Joseph Tam <tam(a)math.ubc.ca>

[Dovecot] LDA vs LMTP, Cyrus SASL, verbose_proctitle
by Joseph Tam 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Is there a reason I should prefer LMTP over LDA for local delivery? Performance? Security? The Wiki doesn't differentiates LMTP vs LDA with respect to sendmail configuration, so am I correct that I just need to replace mail.local with dovecot-lda, which will choose LDA/LMTP based on dovecot.conf? Also, can I consolidate authentication by configuring dovecot to use what sendmail uses (Cyrus SASL) or vice versa? The Wiki hints this is in the works. Lastly, toggling verbose_proctitle seems to have no effect on the output of ps. Is verbose_proctitle broken for Solaris? Thanks, Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Hi, I tried to use ATrpms (http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-2.0.11-1_126.src.rpm) to rebuild the rpms. It is shown the error message as following: configure: error: unrecognized option: --docdir=/usr/share/doc/dovecot-2.0.11 Try `./configure --help' for more information. I checked `./configure --help', it did contain the '--docdir' option. I don't know how to fix it. Then I tried to remove ' --docdir=%{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version} \' and rebuild it again. It is shown another error message as following: mv: cannot stat `/var/tmp/dovecot-2.0.11-1_126-root//usr/share/doc/dovecot-2.0.11': No such file or directory I tried to modify dovecot.spec again, replace 'mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_docdir}/%{name}-%{version} %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/docinstall ' with 'mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{_docdir}/%{name} %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/docinstall' and rebuild it again. Antoher error shown 'File must begin with "/": %{_initddir}/dovecot', therefore I add '%define _initddir /etc/rc.d/init.d' Finally, I can rebuild the RPMS, but it is shown error message again while I install RPMS: [root@testmail SPECS]# rpm -ivh ../RPMS/x86_64/dovecot-2.0.11-1_126.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:dovecot ########################################### [100%] /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.13056: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `fi' /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.13056: line 3: `fi' error: %post(dovecot-2.0.11-1_126.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 2 Please advise me how to fix the problem and thank you in advance. -- Best Regards, Bruce

[Dovecot] dovecot: auth(default): Can't open configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf: Permission denied
by Kevin P. McDonough 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hello, I have been searching all day for help on an issue I am having after installing and just having begun to configure dovecot. Whenever I try to start the dovecot daemon I receive the following errors in the syslog: Apr 4 13:15:03 ***** dovecot: auth(default): Can't open configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf: Permission denied Apr 4 13:15:03 *****dovecot: dovecot: Fatal: Auth process died too early - shutting down Now, I have gone through the config file (see below) trying various settings for auth including running it as root and as vmail. I have tried a number of permutations for the permissions and ownership on the file specified above from 600 root -> 777 vmail and everything in between, yet always the same issue. If I rename the file and try to start dovecot it notices that the file is missing and gives an appropriate error. I cannot figure out how the permissions can be wrong on the file, I am starting to assume it is a problem elsewhere. (One other note, I was initially getting an error regarding the rawlog permissions, and just removed the rawlog part of the IMAP config to work around that). ---cut--- *****:~ # l /etc/dovecot/ total 160 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 4 14:18 ./ drwxr-xr-x 98 root root 12288 Apr 4 17:41 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52110 Apr 4 14:18 dovecot.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51576 Mar 16 13:31 dovecot.conf~ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 410 Feb 22 19:03 dovecot-db-example.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 782 Feb 22 19:03 dovecot-dict-sql-example.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4986 Feb 22 19:03 dovecot-ldap-example.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5589 Apr 4 13:25 dovecot-sql.backup -rw------- 1 root root 5589 Mar 16 13:31 dovecot-sql.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5097 Feb 22 19:03 dovecot-sql-example.conf ---cut--- ---cut--- *****:~ # dovecot -n # 1.2.16: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Error: setmntent(/etc/mtab) failed: Permission denied # OS: Linux 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop i686 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl: no disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 5000 last_valid_uid: 5000 first_valid_gid: 5000 last_valid_gid: 5000 mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)example.com mail_plugins: sieve quota mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail plugin: quota: maildir sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve ---cut--- I just noticed that setmntent error above, I havent seen that anywhere else previously.

More of a FYI, and please let me know if I should enable something to get better debug data if/when it happens again. -jf

[Dovecot] Invalid old index files
by Reinhard Vicinus 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hi, i'm in the process of evaluating dovecot. I have a rather big testing environment with four dovecot director frontend instances and four dovecot backend instances. Mailboxes are all in mdbox format and stored on nfs. Indexes are stored locally. dovecot nfs setup for high performance is used (mmap_disable = no, dotlock_use_excl = yes, mail_nfs_storage = yes, mail_nfs_index = no). The remaining problem is, if i disable a backend server and the backend server which took over the connection already has some old index files, this index files aren't updated. If there aren't any index files all is fine and the index files are created anew. I can solve this by regularly deleting old index files via a cronjob. But i'm not sure if i made a configuration mistake and dovecot somehow can detect old index files automatically and invalidate them? Thanks in advance Reinhard

[Dovecot] Dsync & random delete problem
by Antoine Millet 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hello, I've updated my home mail server with dovecot 2.0.11 with idea of using dsync to synchronize two master servers (one at home behind an ADSL connection, and another in a DC with a gigabit connection). Dsync is launched every minutes by a cron job for each hosted mailboxes (in Maildir format). Obviously, a lock prevents to launch more than one dsync process at time. On a test mailbox, it worked perfectly, but when I decided to use it on my own mailbox: big drama :-). Some trashed messages reappear after the next sync, by dint of insisting, sometime it are duplicated. Occasionally, the synchronization has the desired effect, but messages reappear few hours later... So, my questions are: * Dsync is it supposed to be used to synchronize two mailboxes on continuously? * Are these problems known? I've found one thread about a random delete problem, so it seem to be? Do you need more informations to debug it? My informations: * Dovecot version: 2.0.11 * Distro: Debian Squeeze amd64 * FS: ext4 * Mailbox format: Maildir * Dsync command: "dsync -u {account} mirror ssh -i /var/vmail/sync/id_vmail -C {dest} dsync -u {account}" * Bug happen randomly, I haven't found a way to reproduce it. * Dovecot configuration: A part in particular is interesting? Thanks in advance, -- Antoine Millet http://inaps.org

[Dovecot] SiS: Attachment file larger than expected

[Dovecot] doveadm mailbox status - getting the size in bytes
by Patrick McLean 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi, doveadm has an option to get the "vsize" of mailboxes, which is calculated by counting the number of linefeeds, but there does not appear to be way to simply get the size in bytes of a mailbox. I was wondering if there is something I am missing (I am using mdbox), or if not is it possible to implement this. Thanks

[Dovecot] dovecot ldap failed to recover
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

One of our backend pop/imap-server running dovecot v1.2.16 experienced some problems yesterday. It suddenly couldn't authenticate users anymore, flooding the logs with: pop3-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<user1(a)example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.42.15, lip=192.168.42.28 The problem seemed to start with this log entry: Mar 29 18:57:21 popimap1 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(userX(a)example.com,192.168.42.15): Connection appears to be hanging, reconnecting and this suspicious entry a few seconds later: Mar 29 18:57:41 popimap1 dovecot: auth(default): LDAP: Reply with unknown msgid 2 Afterward 18:57:21 it was unable to authenticate any users before I restarted the dovecot service. Also some of our postfix servers reported ldap lookup failures between 18:56-18:58, but then recovered. Looking at the ldap server side, we saw no problems logged, but netstat reports there being 3 active ldap sessions towards the dovecot server that failed yesterday, while the dovecot server only has 1: ldap1$ netstat -na |grep 192.168.42.28 tcp 0 0 192.168.43.2:389 192.168.42.28:44408 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 192.168.43.2:389 192.168.42.28:36464 ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 192.168.43.2:389 192.168.42.28:60580 ESTABLISHED popimap1$ netstat -na| grep 192.168.43.2 tcp 0 0 192.168.42.28:60580 192.168.43.2:389 ESTABLISHED So it looks to us like there was some problem with either the network, or the ldap-server for a short periode, and that dovecot then wasn't able to recover from this. -jf
