[Dovecot] Panic: file mailbox-list-fs.c
by Burckhard Schmidt 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hi, I have dovecot 2.0.3. Mailboxes have been converted with dsync from mbox to maildir last week. There it was still version 2.0.2. A user "produces" now this error: imap(userx): Panic: file mailbox-list-fs.c: line 150 (fs_list_get_path): assertion failed: (mailbox_list_is_valid_pattern(_list, name)) Error: Raw backtrace: follows. And all other imap processes are closing down. dovecot starts again. master: Info: Dovecot v2.0.3 starting up Additional mail_location = maildir:~/maildir:INDEX=/addons/index/%u:CONTROL=~/control:LAYOUT=fs namespace { inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } Are there charachters which are not allowed or is there a reached a maximal length? regards -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen --- Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] "Documentation" link from http://www.dovecot.org/
by William Blunn 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

On the Dovecot home page http://www.dovecot.org/ we have a link "Documentation" which links to the Dovecot 1.x wiki ( http://wiki.dovecot.org/ ). There is a question mark in my mind as to whether that is a good idea considering as how the current stable version of Dovecot appears to be 2.0.x. In the Dovecot 1.x wiki, there is a pink stripe across the top of the page which says that the documentation is for Dovecot 1.x. It looks as though the intention was to make that prominent so as to guide visitors to the right documentation, and I think to a certain extent it may work. But I am wondering if perhaps the stripe could be too easily missed. People might start browsing around in the Dovecot 1.x wiki without it even occurring to them that there was a whole another wiki for 2.x. I have an idea: Perhaps the "Documentation" link on the home page could be re-worked to something like Documentation v2.x v1.x where "v2.x" and "v1.x" are links to the two wikis. This would make it obvious that there was different documentation available for v2.x and v1.x, and encourage visitors to choose the appropriate set. Bill

[Dovecot] service(imap-login): chiled ... killed with signal 11
by Burckhard Schmidt 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hi, dovecot 2.0.3 After closing the imap(s) connection dovecot crashes: imap-login: Info: Aborted login (no auth attempts): rip=... lip=... mpid=0 master: Error: service(imap-login): child 18636 killed with signal 11 (core not dumped - set service imap-login { drop_priv_before_exec=yes }) master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=18643 uid=0 code=kill) It also happens if I only telnet to the imap(s) port and give the only command "1 logout". How can I get a dump for backtracing? With drop_priv_before_exec=yes I get a config error: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: service(imap-login): drop_priv_before_exec=yes can't be used with chroot As user I can login and work normaly but I have to reconnect after a differnet connection will be closed causing a dovecot crash. Additional information: Solaris 10, packages openssl, openldap by opencsw I had seen a similar error during login process already with an rc-version. Because opencsw offers only an older version of openssl I installed current versions of openssl and openldap, So it works again. Now both packaged are up to date at opencsw. So I would like using these packages again when I install dovecot. Any hints? -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen --- Burckhard Schmidt

[Dovecot] Support for spaces in plaintext passwords?
by Simon 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hi! I have problems with my cellphone. It does not seem to quote the strings to the login command. I can logon using ie SquirrelMail but if i try to login using AndroidMail it just says "autentication failed". If i try maualy i get similar results. Changing password for test to "password-" a login test password- a OK Logged in. Changing password for test to "password " * OK Dovecot ready. a login test password #here i type "password ", but without "" a NO Authentication failed. Uppon examining squirrelmails comunication it sends login "test" "password " I will of cause file a bugreport that Android Mail should use quoted strings when using 'login' autentication as per rfc2060 (which seems to allow it but not demand it). But i wonder if it is possible to work around this issue in Dovecot somehow?

[Dovecot] expire_tool trouble + howto part sasl from 1.1.7 -> 2.0.1?
by Igor Kowalski 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hello! Let me smuggle 2 questions in 1 email: 1) I upgraded from 1.1.7 to 2.0.1, but couldn't get it to work, because the 'dovecot + postfix sasl howto' doesn't seem to be updated and the old sasl settings are incompatible with new version. How do I set up sasl with dovecot2 ? Is there any updated howto available? 2) In dovecot 1.1.7: my expire_plugin seems to work fine, new entries are correctly added to the dictionary, but the messages don't actually get expunged. expire_tool says: dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: maildir: data=~/Maildir Info: maildir++: root=/home/virtual/<domain>/<user>/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/virtual/<domain>/<user>/Maildir Info: <user>@<domain>/Trash: timestamp 1285005106 (Mon Sep 20 18:51:46 2010 ) -> 1290102903 (Mon Sep 20 18:51:46 2010 ) Info: <user2>@<domain>/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Sat Nov 6 18:33:12 2010 Messages are only updated in the dictionary, but nothing is ever expunged.

Because trash can be called wastebasket for example, and then it doesn't work. Spam can be called Junk, and again, it doesn't work. Any response to these queries would be greatly appreciated.

[Dovecot] MD5 to CRAM-MD5 password conversion?
by David Jonas 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

We have a plethora of accounts for which we would like to enable CRAM-MD5 but their passwords are stored as MD5 hashes. Is there anything we can do? Can we take a linux MD5 hashed password (e.g. $1$fac330ee$wd6Tll...) and convert it to dovecot's CRAM-MD5 format (e.g. {CRAM-MD5}b3f297...)? Thanks!

[Dovecot] understand the struct message_header_line
by Alex Baule 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Timo... Using the src/lib-mail/test-istream-header-filter.c as example, and following your tips to jump my desired header value, but i need to store the value from the Header filtered. In the Exemple, the callback is this: static void filter_callback(struct message_header_line *hdr, bool *matched, void *context ATTR_UNUSED) { if (hdr != NULL && hdr->name_offset == 0) { /* drop first header */ *matched = TRUE; } } What i try to understand is how the structs work, it's save the entire header or every line from header call the callback function ? hdr->name_offset is the size of elements in the struct ? (like a array of message_header_line) The void *context ATTR_UNUSED i can pass what i want to change ? like a pointer to a variable ?

[Dovecot] tags disappear in Thunderbird
by Iv Ray 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

We have - Dovecot 1.0.15 (the default on Debian Lenny stable) Thunderbird 3.1.4 In our installation the Inbox is a mbox and the other folders are maildir. When we tag messages in Inbox, the tags disappear after a while. In the other folders they stay. I found two possible solutions suggested - 1. Set mbox_lazy_writes=no 2. Convert the Inbox to maildir What would be the best approach in your opinion? Would suggest not following the Debian Lenny stable version (1.0.15), but compiling the current stable Dovecot? Thank you very much, Iv

[Dovecot] Problem installing latest dovecot w vpopmail

Hello - I am trying to migrate my dovecot installation from an older server running version 1.x to the latest 2.0.3 When I run configure --with-vpopmail, it bombs pretty quick as follows: ./configure --with-vpopmail checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no configure: error: vpopmail support is broken. fix it or access its db another way. however, vpopmail seems to be working fine, i can add domains from vpopmail/bin/vadddomain and they show up in the database just fine. So why do I receive this error and how can i troubleshoot? thank you very much in advance, Joe

[Dovecot] dovecot-2.0.3 - can not upload message, over quota
by LEVAI Daniel 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi! I've upgraded to 2.0.3 from 1.2, and it is so far so good. I especially like the new doveadm tool. I have only one tiny problem: Every time I try to upload a message to the server (eg. to a 'Sent' folder, while sending a message), it fails with an error saying I'm over my quota. I'm using mutt, and this is the exact message I get in mutt: [OVERQUOTA] Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) Now this is not true, because dovecot-lda can save message to any of my folders, and doveadm says I have no quota (which is true): # doveadm quota get -u <user> Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 1075010 - 0 User quota MESSAGE 26750 - 0 Dovecot logs say nothing about this. Why is that error message then? (I must admit that I didn't try with another mail client.) I've tried to recalc the quota with doveadm but no luck. doveconf -n: # 2.0.3: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: OpenBSD 4.7 i386 default_internal_user = _dovecot default_login_user = _dovenull dict { expire = pgsql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } info_log_path = /var/log/mail/dovecot.info listen = 127.0.0.1 log_path = /var/log/mail/dovecot.log mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir/ mail_plugins = quota expire passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } plugin { expire = sa.* 1 expire_dict = proxy::expire quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=100M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+50M } protocols = pop3 imap userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol lda { deliver_log_format = msgid=%m, from=%f, subject=%s: %$ mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve sendmail_path = /usr/local/sbin/sendmail } TIA, Daniel -- LÉVAI Dániel PGP key ID = 0x83B63A8F Key fingerprint = DBEC C66B A47A DFA2 792D 650C C69B BE4C 83B6 3A8F

[Dovecot] v2.0.3 released
by Timo Sirainen 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.3.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.0/dovecot-2.0.3.tar.gz.sig * dovecot-lda: Removed use of non-standard Envelope-To: header as a default for -a. Set lda_original_recipient_header=Envelope-To to returns the old behavior. + Added support for reverse quota warnings (i.e. when quota goes back under the limit). This is enabled by adding '-' to beginning of quota_warning value. Based on patch by Jeroen Koekkoek. + dovecot-lda: Added lda_original_recipient_header setting, which is used for getting original recipient if -a isn't used. + dovecot-lda: Added -r parameter to specify final recipient address. (It may differ from original address for e.g. aliases.) + Maildir: uidlist file can now override message's GUID, making it possible for multiple messages in a mailbox to have the same GUID. This also fixes dsync's message conflict resolution. - dovecot-lda: If destination user isn't found, exit with EX_NOUSER, not EX_TEMPFAIL. - dsync: Fixed handling \Noselect mailboxes - Fixed an infinite loop introduced by v2.0.2's message parser changes. - Fixed a crash introduced by v2.0.2's istream-crlf changes.

[Dovecot] replace istream and unref the old one...
by Alex Baule 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

I Build a plugin, that do some stuffs with a email. To get the input istream, i use the "get_stream" function, like zlib does. I create a concat_stream, with the full_input[3]; struct istream *full_input[3]; //this like zlib input = imail->data.stream; //first input, using the input full_input[0] = i_stream_create_header_filter(input, HEADER_FILTER_EXCLUDE | HEADER_FILTER_NO_CR, exclude_headers, 1, filter_callback, imail); // second input from another file. full_input[1] = i_stream_create_fd(fd1, 0, TRUE); // finish the input full_input[2] = NULL; // recreating the stream imail->data.stream = i_stream_create_concat(full_input); //unref the old one. i_stream_unref(&input); return index_mail_init_stream(imail, hdr_size, body_size, stream_r); I do like zlib, but i got this errors in LOG. I Think it's because something in the unref, but o don't know what.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.3
by Matthias Quernheim 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

I upgraded today to from 1.2.12 to Dovecot 2.0.3 with the dbox format. I just figured out there are still mail in some users directories with the maildir format. These mail are not displayed at all. Nether with roundcube nor with Thunderbird. How could I convert the remaining maildir mails to dbox? Thanks Matthias

[Dovecot] send HUP when rotating log?
by LEVAI Daniel 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi! Is it necessary for Dovecot2 to send it a SIGHUP when I rotate its log files? I'm asking because then I must turn off the 'shutdown_clients' option, because then every user gets disconnected while rotating the logs.

[Dovecot] Change in delivery directory during 2.0.2->2.0.3 upgrade
by Jeffrey Rice 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

In upgrading from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3, Dovecot deliver has started putting new emails into user@host/.user@host/new instead of user@host/new. This change was reversed by downgrading to 2.0.2, so it's due to the minor version change. Has anyone else seen this? dovecot.conf follows: # 2.0.0: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.27.2-xenU i686 Debian 5.0.5 ext3 auth_mechanisms = plain cram-md5 login digest-md5 dotlock_use_excl = yes login_greeting = IMAP ready. mail_fsync = never mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%u passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-mysql.cnf driver = sql } plugin { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master sieve_global_path = /home/vmail/sieve/global.sieve } service auth { unix_listener /var/run/dovecot/auth-master { group = vmail mode = 0600 user = vmail } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth-client { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } service imap-login { client_limit = 256 process_limit = 128 process_min_avail = 4 service_count = 0 user = dovecot } service imap { vsz_limit = 70 } service pop3-login { client_limit = 256 process_limit = 128 process_min_avail = 4 service_count = 0 user = dovecot } service pop3 { vsz_limit = 70 } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/ssl/certs/dovecot_cert.pem ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/ssl/private/dovecot_key.pem userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%u driver = static } protocol imap { mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugins = } protocol lda { auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master info_log_path = /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log log_path = /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)finity.org } deliver is invoked in postfix's master.cf using: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} -- Jeffrey Rice<jeffrice(a)finity.org>

[Dovecot] mbox vs maildir
by Jim Pazarena 18 Sep '10

18 Sep '10

I've had clients 'request' nested folders, and it would seem that maildir is designed with that ability while with mbox it is difficult and.or impossible to implement (nested can be achieved; but not nested AND populated in each nest level). My question is, is one format 'better' than the other? It would take a fair bit of time to convert my system to maildir and I would want to feel comfortable that this would be a true 'upgrade' in abilities, rather than simply a change to accommodate nested folders. Thanks,
