[Dovecot] Corrupted index cache file issues (Corrupted physical size)
by Brent Bloxam 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hello, I'm running Dovecot 1.1.13 on FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE and I'm receiving a large number of errors much like the following: dovecot: Jun 08 09:27:04 Error: IMAP(x(a)x.x): Corrupted index cache file /nfs/x.x/x/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: Corrupted physical size for uid=2284: 5312 != 5217 dovecot: Jun 08 09:27:04 Error: IMAP(x(a)x.x): Corrupted index cache file /nfs/x.x/x/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: Corrupted physical size for uid=2281: 6992 != 6894 dovecot: Jun 08 09:31:17 Error: IMAP(y(a)y.y): Corrupted index cache file /nfs/y.y/y/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: Corrupted physical size for uid=9241: 14545 != 14453 dovecot: Jun 08 09:37:05 Error: IMAP(z(a)z.z): Corrupted index cache file /nfs/z.z/z/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: Corrupted physical size for uid=22741: 12150 != 12066 These are not occurring for all users, but it occurs frequently for the addresses that do show up in the logs. The maildirs are migrated from a previous courier server. I've tried searching the archives and can't find anything related to this error. Could someone shed some light on it? Other than the error messages, I'm not aware of anything being affected, but I'd like to be sure of it Some info about the configuration: Maildirs are accessed via NFS, related settings are mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes lock_method: dotlock Regards, Brent

[Dovecot] dovecot and ntp: Fatal: Time just moved backwards
by Arno Wald 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

Hallo, I am running dovecot on a PC (a workstation) to have a mail client independent storage for my mails. Now I would like to have the system clock set correctly by using ntpd or ntpdate (using debian/sid). The problem is, that the PC is not online at boot time, but is set online on demand manually using "pon" to start the pppd later. So ntpd cannot sync the time on boot time before dovecot gets started. First I was using ntpdate that was started in ppp's if.up.d/ directory. This tool does set the time very hard instead of just slightly shifting some milliseconds. So dovecot did stop itself, reporting: "Fatal: Time just moved backwards by 118 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now." So I have tried ntpd as I thought it shifts the time in smaller time deltas. But this takes much time (several seconds) when booting, giving up on all configured servers, because they are not reachable when booting (as going online later manually). This turns off ntp functionality because ntpd does think that all servers are unreachable for ever. (I have tried a command "dynamic" in ntp.conf but this did not change anything and ntpd reports it to be obsolete.) My idea now is to not start ntpd on system boot, but only on if-up. But this brings up the same fatal error of dovecot as ntpd seems to hardly set the time, too. The only idea I have left is to stop dovecot, start ntpd and then start dovecot again on if-up. Is there a more elegant way to use dovecot and ntpd on a manually dialed in PC? Thanks, Arno

[Dovecot] cross compiling (arm)
by Stephen Feyrer 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

Hi. I'm trying to cross compile dovecot. My desktop machine is an AMD64 box with bells and whistles. The ARM based machine is a network attached storage box. When I run "make" always get x86_64 binaries. My OS is Gentoo, so I have been able to build using emerge a variety of other programs from source. What am I doing wrong here. (Gentoo doesn't have Dovecot for the arm) I run: ./configure --prefix=/opt --target=armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi host=armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --cache-file=config.cache These are some values from config.cache which I think are pertinent: ac_cv_build=${ac_cv_build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu} ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu=${ac_cv_c_compiler_gnu=yes} ac_cv_env_build_alias_set=set ac_cv_env_build_alias_value=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ac_cv_env_host_alias_set= ac_cv_env_host_alias_value= ac_cv_env_target_alias_set=set ac_cv_env_target_alias_value=armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi acl_cv_path_LD=${acl_cv_path_LD='/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld -m elf_x86_64'} lt_cv_path_LDCXX=${lt_cv_path_LDCXX='/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld -m elf_x86_64'} lt_cv_sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec=${lt_cv_sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec='/lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib //usr/lib32/opengl/nvidia/lib //usr/lib64/opengl/nvidia/lib /lib /usr/lib /lib64 /usr/lib64 /usr/local/lib64 /lib32 /usr/lib32 /usr/local/lib32 /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.2 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.2/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.3 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.3/32 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/32 /usr/lib64/nspr /usr/lib64/nss /usr/lib64/seamonkey /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib/amd64/ /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib/amd64/native_threads/ /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib/amd64/classic/ /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib/amd64/server/ /usr/kde/4.1/lib /usr/kde/4.1/lib64 /usr/kde/4.1/lib32 /usr/kde/4.2/lib /usr/kde/4.2/lib64 /usr/kde/4.2/lib32 /usr/lib64/qca1 /usr/lib64/qca2 /usr/lib/qt4 /usr/lib64/qt4 /usr/lib32/qt4 /usr/qt/3/lib /usr/qt/3/lib64 /usr/qt/3/lib32 /usr/games/lib /usr/games/lib64 /usr/games/lib32 /opt/flash-libcompat /usr/lib64/fltk-1.1 /usr/lib32/libstdc++-v3/ '} lt_cv_sys_lib_search_path_spec=${lt_cv_sys_lib_search_path_spec='/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.2 /usr/lib64 /lib64 /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib'}

Hello, we use dovecot v1.1.16 on two servers with Solaris 9. This week both suddenly stopped authenticating users. The first server was startet on Jun 2 and ran until Jun 18 and the other startet on Jun 3 and failed on Jun 15. Both generated then lots of error messages, three for every user that attemps to login, looking like that: Jun 15 08:35:23 minerva dovecot-auth[20831]: [ID 401707 user.error] open_module: /usr/lib/security/pam_unix_account.so.1 failed: ld.so.1: dovecot-auth: fatal: /usr/lib/security/pam_unix_account.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory Jun 15 08:35:23 minerva dovecot-auth[20831]: [ID 487707 user.error] load_modules: can not open module /usr/lib/security/pam_unix_account.so.1 Jun 15 08:35:23 minerva dovecot: [ID 107833 local0.error] auth-worker(default): pam(gp1071,134.176.2.89): pam_acct_mgmt() failed: Dlopen failure The file /usr/lib/security/pam_unix_account.so.1 was still there and had not been changed.

[Dovecot] compiling dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.5 with the latest dovecot-1.2.rc5
by Tim Traver 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Hi all, ok, downloaded dovecot-1.2.rc5 and compiled it with no problem. Then, I went to compile the latest dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.5 with it, and got the following error : mail-raw.c: In function 'mail_raw_init': mail-raw.c:119: error: 'NAMESPACE_FLAG_INTERNAL' undeclared (first use in this function) mail-raw.c:119: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once mail-raw.c:119: error: for each function it appears in.) *** Error code 1 In looking around, I noticed in a changed log dated last month, that the NAMESPACE_FLAG_INTERNAL was moved to be two separate flags "_NOQUOTA and _NOACL"... But I think that the author of dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.5 hasn't made the change to handle that... So, first of all, I guess I would just like to bring it to the authors attention if it hasn't been already, and second, what is the last rc version before that change so I can actually get things to compile? Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] quota.
by Mauro 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hallo. Sorry for may bad english. I'm running dovecot 1.0.15 on a debian lenny system. I've set quota plugin and, under section plugin, I've set: quota = maildir quota_rule = *:storage=50M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=10%% quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80. For some accounts the quota limit works well. When I send mail I receive a rejected mail for quota exceeded. For some other accounts it doesn'work despite they have passed the 50M storage limit. Why?

[Dovecot] Question about "target is inferior" type of message
by Michael Durket 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

We're converting UW-IMAP users here to dovecot. Some of them have seen the error message issued when Thunderbird clients try to delete folders and I understand what's going on (from previous postings) that Dovecot doesn't support mbox subfolders within folders. What puzzles me is that many of these users already have folders within folders (I've found typically 2 levels of nested folders within their main Mail directory). And they're not complaining that they can't read the messages in those folders. If UW-IMAP supposedly never supported this for mbox format, and Dovecot doesn't support it, how is this possible under Dovecot? (We don't have any maildir format mailboxes here at all).

[Dovecot] enourmous amount of disc writes
by Rainer Sigl 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Hi List, on my mailserver (exim4, dovecot 1.0.0, postgresql, ubuntu dapper, about 500 users) I record an enourmous amount of disc writes (up to 18000 blocks written each second) in the time where most of users are active. This IO activity causes wait-states on the disc interface (RAID5) and finally slows down my mailmachine. Is there a explanation for these disc writes respectively is there a possibility to minimize this activity. Stopping Dovecot on this machine causes stopping most of the disc activity.

[Dovecot] v1.2.rc5 imap ignores configuration reloads
by Pascal Volk 16 Jun '09

16 Jun '09

Hi Timo, after changing the mail_executable in the imap {…} section I have to restart Dovecot v1.2.rc5, otherwise the changes are not accepted. With Dovecot v1.1.x (tested with v1.1.11 and v1.1.16) it's enough to send a SIGHUP to the dovecot process. Regards, Pascal -- The trapper recommends today: c01dcofe.0916521(a)localdomain.org

I've copying messages automatically to sent folder if it sent via our SMTP. Problem is Deliver can't mark message as read on deliver. Does that possible to accomplish using global sieve rule? I'm not familiar with sieve code syntax, know very basics. Also I know there different implementation in Sieve between 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. Thanks

[Dovecot] Authentication cache, failure to login after changed password
by Tom Sommer 16 Jun '09

16 Jun '09

Hi, I have an issue with the authentication cache. When a user changes his password, the cache doesn't seem to get flushed. Meaning the user is unable to log in to his IMAP account after changing his password. Flow: - Log into IMAP account using pass1 - Approved - Stored in auth cache - Change password to pass2 in MySQL - Log into IMAP account using pass2 - Access is denied - Restart dovecot - Log into IMAP account using pass2 - Approved I'd really like to continue to use the auth cache, is there any solution to the above? perhaps a way to debug the cache and auth process? I wasn't able to activate auth_debug without restarting Dovecot and solving the problem. Using version 1.1.1, MySQL userdb, with "nopassword=Y". Maybe it's due to nopassword? Thanks -- Tom
