[Dovecot] Error: FETCH [1] for mailbox badbox UID 1 got too little data: 2 vs 4
by Chris Wilson 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hi all, I can send myself a test message that causes Dovecot to crash when I open it in Alpine, with the following error: Jan 12 14:52:52 one-mail dovecot: imap(chris): Error: FETCH [1] for mailbox badbox UID 1 got too little data: 2 vs 4 Jan 12 14:52:52 one-mail dovecot: imap(chris): Error: Corrupted index cache file /home/chris/mail/.imap/badbox/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 1 Jan 12 14:52:52 one-mail dovecot: imap(chris): Disconnected: FETCH failed bytes=485/1394 I can do this as follows: $ touch ~/mail/badbox $ echo test | /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -m badbox $ cat ~/mail/badbox >From MAILER-DAEMON Wed Jan 12 14:52:29 2011 test X-IMAPbase: 1294843949 0000000001 X-UID: 1 Status: X-Keywords: Content-Length: 1 And then when I try to open badbox in Alpine (over IMAP), and then open this email, I get the error above, and the connection is aborted. I expect that the "test" line is not a valid header, but dovecot should not crash when opening it.

[Dovecot] Panic: file mailbox-list-maildir.c: line 133: unreached
by Holger Mauermann 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

I converted personal mailboxes from maildir to sdbox. Public mailboxes are still in maildir format, because I need per-user seen flags. However, if the user is subscribed to public mailboxes and the client sends 'LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "" *', dovecot crashes with: imap(holger(a)mauermann.org): Panic: file mailbox-list-maildir.c: line 133: unreached imap(holger(a)mauermann.org): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x3756a) [0x7f25f7b1456a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x375b6) [0x7f25f7b145b6] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x118ca) [0x7f25f7aee8ca] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x35cce) [0x7f25f7d8acce] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_list_is_valid_pattern+0x26) [0x7f25f7d80146] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x33a31) [0x7f25f7d88a31] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(fs_list_iter_next+0x2f) [0x7f25f7d885cf] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib01_acl_plugin.so(+0xb658) [0x7f25f6f2c658] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_list_iter_next+0xa) [0x7f25f7d7faba] -> dovecot/imap(+0xc529) [0x7f25f824d529] -> dovecot/imap(cmd_list_full+0x43e) [0x7f25f824e48e] -> dovecot/imap(+0x10dad) [0x7f25f8251dad] -> dovecot/imap(+0x10e8d) [0x7f25f8251e8d] -> dovecot/imap(client_handle_input+0x135) [0x7f25f82520c5] -> dovecot/imap(client_in put+0x62) [0x7f25f8252a22] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x48) [0x7f25f7b1f898] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x9f) [0x7f25f7b2080f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x7f25f7b1f828] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f25f7b0dcf3] -> dovecot/imap(main+0x30f) [0x7f25f825b07f] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfe) [0x7f25f736cd8e] -> dovecot/imap(+0x9279) [0x7f25f824a279] master: Error: service(imap): child 32285 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) This does not happen with 'LSUB "" *' or with personal mailboxes in maildir format.

[Dovecot] courier-imap to dovecot-imap migration: missing TLS_TRUSTCERTS feature
by Uffe Jakobsen 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hi, I'm attempting an one-to-one migration from courier-imap to dovecot-imap. current state: Imap-server has a self signed certificate Every client/user has a self signed client certificate that is used for SSL/TLS client authentication. All certificates are self signed "standalone" cerfificates - no CA hierarchy/structure is made. With courier-imap we could just put every client certificate into a trusted cert file (or hashed directory for a larger number of clients) and courier-imap would check that through TLS_TRUSTCERTS. I would like to keep the current appproach and avoid the whole mini CA setup - that way I can also avoid reissuing new certs to all existing users. Question: can a similar setup be achieved with dovecot-imap ? I've already made numerous attempts with no luck. As far as I can see dovecot-imap does not seem to implement the concept of checking trusted (self signed standalone client) certs - even though it is based on openssl like courier-imap is - but I may be wrong here. I'm using dovecot-2.0.7 (from ports) on FreeBSD Thanks in advance. Kind regards Uffe Jakobsen

[Dovecot] dovecot not delivering emails in the right folder
by paulino＠calderonpale.com 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hello everyone, I'm having trouble getting postfix + dovecot to work correctly. It seems like Postfix is receiving and delivering the emails correctly but dovecot is placing/looking for them in the wrong folder therefore the clients aren't receiving any new emails. I switched from courier and followed a tutorial found here: http://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-debian-5-lenny Dovecot's log: deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: auth input: adomain.com/test/@adomain.com deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: auth input: uid=5000 deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: auth input: gid=5000 deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: auth input: home=/home/vmail/adomain.com/adomain.com/test/ deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: maildir: data=/home/vmail/adomain.com/adomain.com/test/ deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: maildir: root=/home/vmail/adomain.com/adomain.com/test, index=/home/vmail/adomain.com/adomain.com/test, control=, inbox= deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: cmusieve: Using sieve path: /home/vmail/globalsieverc deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: cmusieve: Executing script /home/vmail/globalsievercc deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: msgid=<AANLkTimZi7pD2eSFNipHtmS5HZVstk9UF6kjWEyqynz-(a)mail.gmail.com>: saved mail to INBOX It seems like is using a wrong folder value since it should be using /home/vmail/adomain.com/test.

[Dovecot] pop3 index virtual question
by Robert Schetterer 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hi @ll, Timo, on 2.0.9 i have a user reporting pop3 leaving mails on the server does not work as desired i have namespace default { # type = private separator = / prefix = "" list = yes # hidden = no subscriptions = yes } namespace virtual { # type = private prefix = "virtual/" separator = / location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++ #location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual hidden = yes list = no subscriptions= no } namespace real { # type = private prefix = "RealMails/" separator = / list = no hidden = yes } and pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv before it was pop3_uidl_format = %g ( not sure what best ) # Permanently save UIDLs sent to POP3 clients, so pop3_uidl_format changes # won't change those UIDLs. Currently this works only with Maildir. #pop3_save_uidl = no my guess is that location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++ isnt enough should be location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++:INDEX=~/ to store/use indexes in the local maildir which is physical under /usr/local/virtual/domain/user@domain any meanings to this -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Using -s in "doveadm mailbox create"
by Christoph Pleger 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hello, it seems that "doveadm mailbox create" does not handle the mailbox parameters correctly if used with the "-s"-Parameter. I am using the following command in a script for adding new users: doveadm mailbox create -u "${ACCOUNT}" -s INBOX Drafts Sent Trash Spam Templates This creates mailboxes Drafts, Sent, Trash, Spam and Templates, but not INBOX. Likewise, when I omit INBOX in the command, only Sent, Trash, Spam and Templates are created, but not Drafts. With only one mailbox parameter, I get an error message about incorrect usage. When I enter the command without the "-s"-Parameter, all given mailboxes are created. As a workaround, I have to use the command without "-s" first and then call "doveadm mailbox subscribe". Regards Christoph

[Dovecot] Force STARTTLS on port 143 for !internalnetwork

Hi! How can I force users which are connecting from OUTSIDE our newtworks to user STARTTLS on Port 143? Right now we resort to IMAPS on port 993, but an additional STARTTLS enabled login on the default port would make things easier! -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de | http://www.charite.de

by Jose Álvaro Domínguez Díaz 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Hi folks, We are working with Dovecot 2.0.9 with Solr support and there is a thing, a little strange for us. Let me explain. We have this conf for Solr: plugin { ... fts = solr fts_solr = url=http:// solr.domain:8983/solr/ break-imap-search quota = maildir ... } With 'break-imap-search', Dovecot connects with solr, solr indexes all, searchs are fast and all works fine. BUT if we don't add 'break-imap-search', solr doesn't index anything. Logs don't report errors with debug/verbose options enabled. Somebody has any idea about this?. Thank you very much for all. Regards. -- Jose Álvaro Domínguez adominguez(a)yaco.es Yaco Sistemas S.L. http://www.yaco.es/ C/ Rioja 5, 41001 Sevilla Teléfono +34 954 50 00 57 Fax +34 954 50 09 29

[Dovecot] Permissions in shared folders
by Lukas Haase 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Hi, On my mail server I want to implement shared folders for each workgroup where there are many workgroups. One way would be to create a separate namespace for each workgroup. However, this does not scale well so I decided to use a single Shared mailbox and use ACLs: namespace public { separator = . prefix = Shared. location = maildir:/var/mail/shared:CONTROL=~/Maildir/shared } Each workgroup should get a subfolder in "Shared". Until now, this works, I create .Group1, .Group2 and assign correct group permissions and ACL files. However, now a user from group1 wants to create a subfolder in his IMAP folder. Since the permissions for /var/mail/shared/.Group1 are correct (writeable to group1 and the user is member of group1 and 'k' ACL permissions are active) I would expect it to work. However, for obvious reasons, the *sub*folder is created as /var/mail/shared/.Group1.Subfolder so it is actually not a subfolder in sense of the filesystem but rather a folder inside /var/mail/shared However, the user does (and should) not have write permissions to /var/mail/shared (only to /var/mail/shared/.Group1). Is there a way to overcome this problem? Why can't dovecot just use /var/mail/shared/.Group1/.Subfolder? Is there an option to do so? It would make everything a lot easier. The one option is to make /var/mail/shared world-writeable - which is not really a good option. A second option might be to use ACLs and give each group write permissions to /var/mail/shared. However, not even this seems very "clean" to me. What is the best way to handle this? Best regards, Luke

[Dovecot] ldap: LDAP attribute used multiple times. This is currently unsupported
by Lukas Haase 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Hi, I have a problem when migrating from dovecot 1.0 to dovecot 1.2 (Debian lenny to Debian squeeze). In my dovecot-ldap.conf I have: user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid,uid=system_groups_user I use the last parameter for the groups which I need for shared folders. If I only use this, everything works. However, I also use LDAP as passdb with prefetch: pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid,uid=userdb_system_groups_user In this configuration I get the error in the subject line that uid is used multiple times. I know, but the message is somehow "weird" since it says it is *currently* unsupported. However, it seems to me that it is not supported any more. Is this true? Is there a reason for this? How can I fix this problem? Until now my shared folders do not works anymore because the group memberships are not assigned any more because of the missing system_groups_user parameter. Best regards, Luke

[Dovecot] Great time savings backing a mdbox versus Maildir
by Javier Miguel Rodríguez 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Hello I am writing to this mailing list to thanks Timo for dovecot 2 & mdbox. We have almost 30.000 active users and our life was sad with Maildir & backup: 24 hours for a full backup with bacula (zlib enabled maildirs, 1.4 TB). After switching to mdbox, the backup time is under 12 hours ! Instead of backing 17 millions files, with mdbox our backup is only of 1 million files, and that speeds up a lot the backup operation. Timo, here you have detailed info about the bacula backup jobs, you can use them in the wiki if you desire.

[Dovecot] converting from maildir to mdbox ?
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

I´m considering moving from maildir to mdbox, but don´t quite see how I should do the conversion with minimal downtime. Our userdb is ldap, and the we use this setting to point to the users maildirectory: user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:%$:INDEX=/indexes/%1u/%1.1u/%u,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ i.e. every user has a "mailMessageStore" attribute in LDAP that points to his INBOX. Any ideas for how we can migrate user by user to mdbox? Can we add a mailboxFormat attribute to LDAP, and somehow get that used in the user_attrs lookup ? Ideally have it default to maildir if not set, so that the current setup isn´t changed and only migrated users are affected. Or should we be keeping the mailboxFormat as a prefix in all mailMessageStore strings ? -jf

[Dovecot] How to recover a mail box from an assertion failure
by Michael Durket 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

I'm running Dovecot version 1.2.11 and getting this assertion error on a user's mail: Panic: file /home/durket/dovecot-1.2.11/src/lib-index/mail-transaction-log-view.c: line 290 (mail_transaction_log_view_set): assertion failed: (min_file_seq != max_file_seq || max_file_seq != view->head->hdr.file_seq || max_file_offset != (uoff_t)-1 || min_file_offset <= view->head->sync_offset) I realize that there are newer releases of Dovecot (that even may fix this bug) but what I need to know is if there's anything I can do (like having Dovecot recreate indexes or whatnot) that will recover the user's mail (short of having to reconstruct it from backups).

Here's an easy question for you. I'm restoring some emails from a backup. Do I need to delete or otherwise manually rebuild the indexes? dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidlist Or will Dovecot itself detect that something is amiss and handle it on first folder access?

[Dovecot] dovecot: imap-login: Error: net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
by Kurt Hockenbury 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

We recently switched over mail servers to one running dovecot and postfix on RedHat Enterprise 6. The mail store is NFS on a NetApp filer, the index files are on local disk. We have about 6000 total active users, though not all of them access the system at the same time. All goes well for a while, then we start seeing errors like this in the log: dovecot: imap-login: Error: net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable imap-login: Internal login failure (auth failed, 1 attempts) And at this point, users can't log in. I don't know what Resource dovecot is running out of. The machine is a 12-core Xeon 2.27Ghz, with 24GB RAM. I have removed the 1024 nproc limit in /etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf, and upped the nproc and nofile limits to 16384 and 65535 respectively, both in limits.conf, as well as adding ulimit statements in /etc/init.d/dovecot (belt and suspenders). I have tried adjusting dovecot.conf, but I'm obviously missing something. dovecot -n follows: # 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-71.14.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.0 (Santiago) auth_master_user_separator = * auth_mechanisms = plain login default_client_limit = 5000 default_process_limit = 5000 disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_fsync = always mail_gid = 501 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/indexes/%n mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = quota mail_uid = 501 passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers driver = passwd-file master = yes pass = yes } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=200M } service auth { client_limit = 32768 unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } service imap-login { process_min_avail = 12 service_count = 0 } service pop3-login { service_count = 0 } shutdown_clients = no ssl_cert = </etc/pki/postfix/certs/nexus.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/postfix/private/nexus_key.pem userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota } Thanks, -Kurt Hockenbury

[Dovecot] vpopmail passdb deadlock if tcprules binary is missing
by Teodor Milkov 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hello, I've just found that if vpopmail is compiled with --enable-roaming-users=y, but tcprules binary is missing there is kind of denial of service situation, which is not very obvious for debugging. I know this is result of misconfiguration and I suppose this is more of a vpopmail() bug, but it is somewhat hard to debug and causes greater harm to dovecot long running auth process than vpopmail's short living vchkpw process. Symptoms -------- Login to dovecot imap takes very long time. There are auth processes in D state: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 9873 0.0 0.0 2884 1396 ? D 14:04 0:00 dovecot/auth -w root 11292 0.0 0.0 2884 1396 ? S 14:25 0:00 \_ dovecot/auth -w Cause ----- When new user has to be authenticated from vpopmail, the sequence of events goes something like this: * libexec/dovecot/auth -w process is doing the authentication (passdb-vpopmail.c) * passdb-vpopmail.c: at some point user is authenticated and open_smtp_relay() is called * vpopmail.c: open_smtp_relay() gets a write lock on ~vpopmail/etc/open-smtp.lock adds new IP to ~vpopmail/etc/open-smtp and calls update_rules() etc. to rebuild the tcp.cdb file * vpopmailc: tcprules_open() is called and it fork()s and tries to execv() tcprules * if tcprules is not found, execv() fails silently, and we are left with a forked libexec/dovecot/auth instance, which runs all over again up to the open_smtp_relay() point where it tries to obtain write lock on ~vpopmail/etc/open-smtp.lock again (it is already locked by parent) Hope this helps someone.

[Dovecot] maildrop and multi-dbox
by Manfred Lotz 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hi there, I'm using Dovecot 2.0.9-1 under Arch Linux. Currently, I have Maildir configured, and I move all my emails into dovecot by using this sequence: 1) cron starts fetchmail periodically under user manfred to collect my mails from various email accounts. 2) In ~/.fetchmailrc I have configured /usr/bin/maildrop as MDA. 3) In ~/.mailfilter (used by maildrop) I have extensive filtering in place and call bogofilter (by using xfilter) to classify spam mails. This works fine so far. Now I'd like to migrate to dovecot's new format multi-dbox. My question now: Is it correct that then I cannot longer use maildrop and would need to switch do dovecot-lda? -- Thanks, Manfred

[Dovecot] Dovecot Or Debian, Boot-Time Error "Can't assign requested address"
by Sabahattin Gucukoglu 06 Feb '11

Hi all, I have a really weird problem, which for now I have solved by just binding to the IPv6 wildcard address "::". Using the latest packages from Debian unstable (1.x series), I set up a tunnel with tunnelbroker.net for IPv6. I assign two of the delegated addresses in my /48 using IP aliases in /etc/network/interfaces to my ethernet interface (eth0 and eth0:1). All other servers start and run, binding to the primary address (eth0) assigned. The packet forwarder is not necessary, so it isn't turned on using sysctl. But Dovecot will only start if I launch it using the init script after boot. Until then, in syslog there is always: Fatal: listen(2001:470:xxxx::1): Can't assign requested address Anybody have the slightest clue what's going on here? Debian bug, or Dovecot? I suspect some problem with initscript order, yet inspection shows no apparent problem; network starts up before services. Very, very odd. Cheers, Sabahattin
