[Dovecot] POP users complaining about multiple copies of mail
by H. Wade Minter 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

Hello, We just switched from UW to Dovecot for our mail server. The transition went smoothly, except we have some users complaining about their email clients re-downloading mail or getting multiple copies of emails. When we go into their accounts, we only see one copy of the email, so I'm assuming there's something odd in the communication between their client and us that's causing the mail to get downloaded repeatedly. The clients that we've heard about are Outlook and one called "Goldmine". Has anyone run across this before? Scanning the archives didn't show me anything. This is Dovecot 1.2.12-1ubuntu8 on Ubuntu 10.10. Here's my config: # 1.2.12: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.35.4-rscloud x86_64 Ubuntu 10.10 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve ssl_ca_file: /etc/ssl/certs/ca.pem ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/wildcard.skiltech.com.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/wildcard.skiltech.com.key 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 login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_privileged_group: mail mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve 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 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): pop3_enable_last(default): no pop3_enable_last(imap): no pop3_enable_last(pop3): yes pop3_enable_last(managesieve): no pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(managesieve): lda: postmaster_address: postmaster mail_plugins: sieve quota_full_tempfail: yes deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ rejection_reason: Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix plugin: sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir: ~/sieve

[Dovecot] Trying to building a customized auth plugin
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

I'm on dovecot 2.0.7 and I trying to building a customized auth plugin. I take passdb-passwd-file.c and userdb-passwd-file.c to try to build with a simple gcc comand out of dovecot environment as in example: export DOVECOT=/path/to/untar/dovecot-2.0.7 gcc -fPIC -shared -g -Wall -I$DOVECOT \ -I$DOVECOT/src/lib \ -I$DOVECOT/src/lib-auth \ -I$DOVECOT/src/lib-sql \ -I$DOVECOT/src/lib-settings \ -I$DOVECOT/src/lib-ntlm \ -I$DOVECOT/src/lib-master \ -I$DOVECOT/src/auth \ passdb-passwd-file.c -o passdb-passwd-file.o With this, I get errors relate with uoff_t Is possible to build this plugin by this way? Another way is patching against one plugin on dovecot RPM, but I prefer this on a separated RPM.

[Dovecot] Single-instance storage is bad for you!
by Daniel L. Miller 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

This single-instance storage is going to encourage bad habits! I just found myself preparing an e-mail that needs to be sent to multiple recipients - including several within my own organization - yet it's not necessary for everyone (in-house) to get the large attachment. As I was getting ready to split the message into two parts for distribution I remembered - I can just send it to EVERYBODY in-house and it only occupies a single instance - which it would anyway just being in my "sent" folder! Blasting away... You're quite the enabler, Timo! Now any mail admin who tries to lecture users on only sending attachments to those in-house personnel who really need it, because otherwise it's wasteful of precious server storage space, is going to hear the response, "Dude - don't stress out so much - just setup Dovecot with SIS!". Thanks again! -- Daniel

[Dovecot] service_count=0 for imap and pop3
by Mark Moseley 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

This is copy-pasted from Timo's comment in the "Todays Performance Data for 2.0.x" thread, but I didn't want to hijack that thread. In it, Timo says: <snip> service imap { service_count = 0 } (i.e. reuse imap processes) reduced the system CPU usage to almost nothing. But if you use different UIDs for different users you can't do that. </snip> Is that safe to do in imap and/or pop3? Or at least no more insecure than using service_count=0 for imap-login and pop3-login? Since I saw that comment I've been googling around and grepping the wiki but I can only find instances of using it with "service imap-login", not "service imap" or "service pop3". The mention in Timo's comment that it reduces the CPU usage by a lot got my attention, esp for pop3. We're already using service_count=0 for pop3-login and imap-login.

[Dovecot] Local node indexes in a cluster backend with GFS2
by Aliet Santiesteban Sifontes 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Hi, all this days I'm testing a dovecot setup using lvs, director and a cluster email backend with two nodes using rhel5 and gfs2. In the two nodes of the email backend I configured mail location this way: mail_location = sdbox:/var/vmail/%d/%3n/%n/sdbox:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%3n/%n /var/vmail is shared clustered filesystem with GFS2 shared by node1 and node2 /var/indexes is a local filesystem at the node, so each node has his own /var/indexes stuff on ext3 and raid1 for improving performance, I mean each node a different /var/indexes of its own. Now, if the director was using node2 for the email for user1 and I removed node2 now all the connections for that user are redirected to node1, that node has its local /var/indexes, when this ocurr I can not see the emails that in fact are in the mailboxes, I guess should be indexes not current with the user mails. Is supposed indexes to be rebuilt automatically when the node switches?? Or I have to configure the indexes in the shared storage so the two node update the information concurrently? I will appreciate your help... best regards

[Dovecot] Is Dovecot Director stable for production??
by Aliet Santiesteban Sifontes 14 Nov '10

14 Nov '10

Today I will try Dovecot Director for a setup using a Cluster Backend with GFS2 on rhel5, my question is if is Director stable for use in production for large sites, I know is mainly designed for NFS but I believe it will do the job also for a cluster filesystem like GFS2 and should solve the mail persistence problem with a node and locking issues. I plan to add a layer behind a load balancer to do the stuff, I will appreciate if you guys can point me to best practices in configuring the director, or how the thing works since is new for me, I have seen the example conf but I don't have clarity in some of the concepts and the wiki is empty. I use 2.0.6, thank's for a great job with dovecot. best regards, Aliet

[Dovecot] squirrelmail inbox empty
by Paul Cartwright 13 Nov '10

13 Nov '10

I am running Dovecot + Postfix +Squirrelmail on Debian Lenny.Fetchmail pulls the mail, dovecot spreads it around. I had squirrelmail setup & I tested it from within my router ( internal LAN). yesterday I had to go babysit my grand daughter, and I setup port forward for IMAP port 143, and I can use squirrelmail through firefox on my laptop. All the other folders have all the mail from the time I left til now. Yesterday I was reading inbpox mail, deleted a few junks, etc, and suspended my laptop. When I came back my inbox was empty, and I've never seen any more messages in it. I know I should have LOTS of older+new messages that don't get filtered. Unfortunately ssh doesn't seem to work from this linux side, it does from the windos side ( ssh keys?), so I can't get in to look at the logs.. I already removed ( I think ) all the inbox index files... & restarted, but no joy. I am not sure if it is getting filtered from the ibox, or if I just can't see it. I am not familiar with how squirrelmail works with local IMAP folders, so I am unsure where to look or what logs to browse. I will be home later today. suggestions clues or otherwise?? -- Paul Cartwright

I also need to know how to tell someone how to configure their mail client as the pop3 and smtp server. For example do I say pop.pilotalknet.ldyndns.org and smtp.pilotalknet.dyndns.org? The hostname is: pilotalknet.dyndns.org also is it still possible to check the working of the connection via a telnet connection doing: telnet pilotalknet.dyndns.org:995 or do I have to do something different? what I am achieving with the telnet connection is to ensure the pop server comes up with the greeting from dovecot. Thanks much.
