[Dovecot] dovecot Mstone benchmark
by Mathieu Kretchner 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

Hello all, I would like to bench imap with mstone but the only thing I see is imap command read login logout banner but there is no write. So I can't stress as well as with imaptest. Does anyone have a dovecot.wld or a special configuration to test with mstone ? Thanks

[Dovecot] Virtual domain aliases
by Roderick A. Anderson 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

As I said in a previous reply the server is going great. In fact I can even send mail via it. (On the really old server I'm moving from I couldn't get authentication for outbound to work.) I now have a couple of small issues to deal with before moving completely off the old system. Virtual domains aliases? My reading seems to indicate that Postfix only handles aliases in one place/file. Ie., I can't use a /var/mail/vhosts/domain.tld/aliases. This is probably a Postfix question but I'm asking anyway. I am pretty sure there are some Postfix people-of-significance hanging out here. :-) Thanks, Rod --

[Dovecot] IMAP and SMTP Authentication
by Roderick A. Anderson 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

I'm a bit further along but haven't figured out why Authentication is still failing. I've tried a telnet to port 143 and openssl connection to 993. The command I issued, per the debugging page on the wiki, is: a login info(a)aesoft-sbcs.com crap Here is a snapshot from my logs (yup second try and blank lines to make it easier for me to read). Oct 7 08:17:20 mx0 dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 2 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=216.64.180.226 rip=66.193.34.88 lport=993 rport=65026 resp=AGluZm9AYWVzb2Z0LXNiY3MuY29tAGNyYXA= Oct 7 08:17:20 mx0 dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file /var/mail/vhosts/aesoft-sbcs.com/passwd: Read 3 users Oct 7 08:17:20 mx0 dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(info(a)aesoft-sbcs.com,66.193.34.88): lookup: user=info(a)aesoft-sbcs.com file=/var/mail/vhosts/aesoft-sbcs.com/passwd Oct 7 08:17:20 mx0 dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(info(a)aesoft-sbcs.com,66.193.34.88): unknown user Oct 7 08:17:22 mx0 dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 2 user=info(a)aesoft-sbcs.com And here is the relevant line from /var/mail/vhosts/aesoft-sbcs.com/passwd info:{PLAIN}crap:5000:5000::/var/mail/vhosts/aesoft-sbcs.com/info Yes there are three users in the file. What is puzzling me is why the source connection's IP is showing up in the /lookup/. I did not create the directory /var/mail/vhosts/aesoft-sbcs.com/info/Maildir Should I? I've attached the out put from postconf -n and dovecot -n since I'm pretty sure I've got some setting wrong. Thanks for any ideas or clues.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.1.x or 1.2, which way to go for Kolab Server?
by Sascha Wilde 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi Timo, Hi *, was written the other day we started to use Dovecot 1.2 for our Kolab with Dovecot project, but it turned out that there are quite a bunch of issues with 1.2 (which is ok, as it hasn't even been announced as beta till now). We have a customer who should get a first test installation of Kolab with Dovecot in the first week of September and for that we need the features mentioned in my other mails, especially the enhanced name spaces for shared folders. (%%h, listing of shared folders, an checkpassword like backend for userdb). So the big decision to make is: - stay with 1.1.x and port the needed shared namespace stuff back from 1.2 or - build on 1.2 and resolve all issues caused by it Timo, do you have any opinion/advice on this? How far from being production ready is 1.2 in your view? How hard would it be to get the shared folder/namespace stuff in 1.1.x? (or for that matter: who much harder than to do it in 1.2?) We are currently evaluating these questions, but I would highly appreciate your comments on this. cheers sascha -- Sascha Wilde OpenPGP key: 4BB86568 http://www.intevation.de/~wilde/ http://www.intevation.de/ Intevation GmbH, Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabrück; AG Osnabrück, HR B 18998 Geschäftsführer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner

[Dovecot] Maildir++ problem
by Claudio Prono 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi to all, I am semi-new to the dovecot system, but i like it very much for the versatility of all the system. I have a problem: i am migrating my servers from postfix with vda patch + courier imap to dovecot. All works fine, except for one thing: i use Maildir++ format, but i don't know how to make the file maildirsize into the home of the users. This file is needed by me becouse i have a script, running every day, checking the quota status and sending me a mail of the space occuped by every mailbox on my mailserver. The format of the maildirsize file is like this: 15360000S 12393886 1 How dovecot can generate that file? I have searched into all the documentation, but i don't find anything... What parameters must be specified into the config file to generate the maildirsize file? Thank u in advance, and long life to dovecot ;) Claudio. -- ------------ Claudio Prono Systems Development @ Atpss.net Srl, Divisione Implementazione Sistemi Via San Bernardino, 17 - 10137 Torino (TO) - IT Tel +39-011.32.72.100 Fax +39-011.32.46.497 PGP Fingerprint: 75C2 4049 E23D 2FBF A65F 40DB EA5C 11AC C2B0 3647 Disclaimer: http://atpss.net/disclaimer ------------

[Dovecot] Manual verses Wiki
by Roderick A. Anderson 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

I know I'm looking at the answer but probably not seeing it on the Wiki? Is there a "manual" for Dovecot? Or ... where do I find all the options for the userdb and passdb options? While trying to get my head wrapped around this I noticed I might have been mixing args between the two. One example has userdb first then the next one passdb. Rod --

[Dovecot] Improvements to "Authentication failed" error
by Timo Sirainen 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Probably one of the most commonly asked question is "Why does Dovecot just say authentication failed"? It would be nice to be able to get rid of these questions by having Dovecot itself point out the http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork link. But how to do this? There are two groups of people here: 1) People who look at logs after seeing the "Authentication failed" from a client/telnet session. 2) People who don't even think about looking at logs. I'm thinking that the group 1 could be handled by having Dovecot log the link once as informational message if the first authentication attempt fails and it's from localhost. This shouldn't cause problems I think. Group 2 is more difficult though, and I fear they're also the ones asking this question more often than group 1.. I think the only solution would be to change the IMAP/POP3 error message for them. So instead of: NO Authentication failed. they'd get something more usable. So: 2a) NO Authentication failed. See http://wiki.dovecot.org/WhyDoesItNotWork. 2b) NO Authentication failed. Refer to server log for more information. 2c) NO Authentication failed. Enable auth_debug in server for more information. But there are some problems I think: - If it's done only for connections from localhost, the error messages would be different from localhost vs. elsewhere, which might confuse some log parser scripts. - Some people are running stunnel or some other proxies, causing all connections to appear from localhost. Also webmails often run in localhost. So it can't be assumed that only admins will see the error message. I think this rules out 2a) message. I'm certain I don't want end users emailing me and asking why they can't connect to their server because they saw that link. - Sending 2b) for all connections could be a solution, but it might be confusing for end users. They of course can't refer to server log.. Also unless the wiki link is logged for every failure or auth_debug is enabled, there's nothing useful in the server log. - Sending 2c) for all connections when auth_debug isn't enabled (and plain "Authentication failed" when it is) might also work, but it's again confusing to end users since they can't do that. Any thoughts?

[Dovecot] PAM authentication problems
by Tom Lobato 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi all! I`m using dovecot for a while with no problems. Some days ago it started to delay the authentication until the timeout. syslog... Oct 3 09:00:10 coan dovecot: auth(default): pam(rodrigo.botan,121.120.119.179): pipe() failed: Too many open files Oct 3 09:00:11 coan dovecot: auth(default): pam(katia,121.120.200.97): pipe() failed: Too many open files Oct 3 09:00:11 coan dovecot: auth(default): pam(andersoncampos,121.120.200.35): pipe() failed: Too many open files Oct 3 08:25:55 coan dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: method=PLAIN, rip=121.120.119.39, lip=121.120.119.251 Oct 3 08:25:58 coan dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: method=PLAIN, rip=121.120.119.94, lip=121.120.119.251 Oct 3 08:26:01 coan dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: method=PLAIN, rip=121.120.119.148, lip=121.120.119.251 After the commands /etc/init.d/dovecot stop killall -9 dovecot-auth /etc/init.d/dovecot start It come back to work, then after some time, I need to restart again and again... I tried 'ulimit -n 5000' in /etc/init.d/dovecot, but the problem remains. The problem is in the authentication backend, I guess. I`m using PAM, so I leaved only one line in /etc/pam.d/dovecot: auth sufficient pam_permit.so and all worked fine. Of course, just for test, since this allows login with any password. My system: Debian Etch 64bit dovecot version: 1.0.rc15 (from etch repositories) PAM lib version: 0.79-5 (from etch repositories) The system has 200 users, with 30 logins per minute. hardware: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 3050 @ 2.13GHz, 2GB RAM. If you have some pointer to the solution, it will be welcome. Thank you, Tom Lobato

[Dovecot] Transition from Courier-IMAP
by Arno van Amersfoort 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hello all, Currently we are looking at the possibility of moving from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot (the one that comes with Debian Lenny: version 1.0.15). I'm currently testing it on a non-production server and have a few questions: 1) Currently all our clients use Thunderbird as their mail client to read mail from our IMAP server. Thunderbird is configured with "INBOX." as the "IMAP server directory". As we certainly do NOT want to reconfigure over 150 desktops, we would like to know if it's possible to make Dovecot work with Thunderbird Configured this way -> Simply make Dovecot act the same as Courier-IMAP. With the default configuration of Dovecot I can see the (IMAP) Inbox but not its subfolders when "IMAP server directory" is NOT empty. Is there a way to let Dovecot ignore this setting and/or make it compatible with Courier? 2) About a year back we already test-drived Dovecot but we weren't able to get "Delete as marked" option to work in Thunderbird in combination with "Expunge to trash". Any messages marked as deleted would simply be deleted permanently when Thunderbird was closed. This did work properly with Courier where any messages were expunged to Trash (as it should). Is this a known problem and has it been addressed yet? Basically both questions can be brought together as "How can we make Dovecot as compatible as possible with Courier-IMAP"? Thanks, -- Ing.

[Dovecot] Help - I keep getting LSUB permission denied
by Don Steiny 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi, I am using dovecot: 1.0.rc15 I was upgrading Debian and installed new versions of lots of things. My mail came fine and I though there was not problem until a user called and said it was not working through webmail. I tried, it it worked fine and I realized the problem was with dovecot. I have created new users, tried different UIDs. Removed any protections but when I telnet to the port, I get this: a02 LSUB "" "*" * LSUB () "/" "Trash" * LSUB () "/" "Junk" * LSUB () "/" "Sent" * LSUB () "/" "Junk E-mail" * LSUB () "/" "INBOX/Sent" * LSUB () "/" "INBOX/Trash" * LSUB () "/" "INBOX/Drafts" a002 NO Permission denied when I do it on my account, I get: * LSUB () "/" "INBOX/Sent" * LSUB () "/" "INBOX/Trash" * LSUB () "/" "INBOX/Drafts" a002 OK Lsub completed. I have tried making the directory 777, checked the owners. Copied my Maildir into the other user's to see if I could figure out what could be going on, but I still get the same behavior. HELP, my user needs his mail. THANKS -Don

[Dovecot] Stopping imap synchronization on spool failure

Is there any way to tell an IMAP client to not synchronize/delete old mail through IMAP? Let's say that recent events cause a mail spool to not exist, but people may still want to see old messages that are already cached on their machines.

[Dovecot] Postfix, Dovecot, SASL, and Virtual Domains
by Roderick A. Anderson 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

My saga continues, with a few interruptions, to configure a new mail server for several domains. I've had one private post, and read a dozen of more HOWTOs, HOWDONEs, blogs, and posts on doing this but still haven't had any joy. Not quite sure what I got configured incorrectly so before doing more work on this I'll ask if what I'm trying to do is doable. Postfix: mydomain being one of the domains I'm hosting. myhostname will be from one of the hosted domains ... later no local users (except possibly root) Dovecot to authentication/authorize and Deliver to ... well ... deliver :-) Dovecot: users looked up by domain in /var/mail/vhosts/%d/passwd (?) mail placed (after mail sieve) placed in /var/mail/vhosts/$d/$u/Maildir/ Most of the HOWTOs and friends are using PostgreSQL, LDAP, or MySQL but I'd like to hold off on this until I feel more comfortable and informed on how Dovecot, Deliver, and Postfix work together. So am I out to lunch? I think right now it is I'm confused on what/how userdb and passdb are used. (This is my next RTFM on the list.) Thanks for any help, suggestions, or clue-sticks! Rod --

[Dovecot] Expire Plugin
by e-frog 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

I was struggling for a while to get the expire plugin to expunge mail. I was using (and still would like to use) PAM as passdb and passwd as userdb but with this I could not get the expire-tool to delete any mails. For debugging purpose I switch to passwd-file as userdb/passdb and enabled mail_debug=yes. 1. passwd-file contains home directory and userdb_mail (->working!) /etc/dovecot/dovecot.users: foo:{plain}xxxx:2004:100::/home/foo::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir root@mail:# dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: maildir: data=~/Maildir Info: maildir++: root=/home/foo/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/foo/Maildir Info: Trash: seq=1 uid=2586: Expunge Info: Trash: timestamp 1220392046 -> 1220451447 2. passwd-file contains home directory only (->not working!) /etc/dovecot/dovecot.users: foo:{plain}xxxx:2004:100::/home/foo root@mail:# dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: maildir: data=/root/Maildir Info: maildir++: root=/root/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/root/Maildir Error: stat(/root/Maildir/.Trash/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=2005 egid=100) The expire-tool doesn't find foo's mailbox even if mail_location is set global in the configuration file (please see below). This is exactly the same result as when using PAM and passwd. So I guess there is something wrong with user lookup or setting/expanding HOME and MAIL in the expire-tool. root@mail:# dovecot -n # 1.1.3: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot.log ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_process_size: 16 max_mail_processes: 16 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_process_size: 64 mail_plugins: quota imap_quota expire auth default: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: scheme=plain /etc/dovecot/dovecot.users userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.users socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 user: dovecot group: mail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 plugin: quota: maildir quota_rule: *:storage=1GB quota_rule2: Trash:storage=10%% expire: Trash 1 Junk 1 expire_dict: proxy::expiredict dict: expiredict: db:/var/lib/dovecot/expire.db

[Dovecot] some errors on 1.1.3
by Karsten Künne 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hi, we recently upgraded dovecot from 1.0.5 to 1.1.3+latest patches. After the upgrade I saw some errors in the logs and I'm not sure whether they're a cause for concern. Our setup is 2 servers running openSUSE 11.0 and a NetApp Filer as storage backend. Following is the config: protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3-login login_max_processes_count: 512 max_mail_processes: 1024 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 100 mail_location: maildir:~/.Maildir:CONTROL=/var/mailctl/%n:INDEX=/var/mailctl/%n mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 mail_process_size: 512 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota fts fts_squat imap_alert mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota fts fts_squat imap_alert mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login gssapi master_user_separator: * passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master: yes passdb: driver: pam args: dovecot userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 plugin: quota: fs fts: squat fts_squat: partial=4 full=4 The errors we're seeing are: Oct 1 07:39:27 host1 dovecot: IMAP(user1): Invalid transaction log size (83856 vs 83160): /var/mailctl/corey/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log Oct 1 09:14:55 host1 dovecot: IMAP(user2): Broken file /var/mailctl/user2/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist line 15299: UIDs not ordered (206464 > 206464) Oct 1 09:16:43 host1 dovecot: IMAP(user3): Broken file /var/mailctl/user3/.Trash/dovecot-uidlist line 22: UID larger than next_uid (153866 >= 153866) Oct 1 06:03:19 host1 deliver(user2): Corrupted transaction log file /var/mailctl/user2/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log: record size too small (type=0x0, offset=71940, size=0) Oct 1 06:03:19 host1 deliver(user2): Transaction log file /var/mailctl/user2/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log: marked corrupted Oct 1 06:59:45 host1 deliver(user1): Corrupted transaction log file /var/mailctl/user1/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log: Unexpected garbage at EOF Oct 1 07:29:05 host1 dovecot: IMAP(user4): nfs_flush_fcntl: fcntl(/var/mailctl/user4/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache, F_RDLCK) failed: Interrupted system call It only seems to affect a handful of users and they didn't complain so I assume they didn't see any negative effect on the client side. But it would be nice if somebody could explain shortly whether these errors are serious and we should be concerned or if they are harmless.

[Dovecot] v1.2.alpha2 released
by Timo Sirainen 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha2.tar.gz.sig Mainly the same fixes as in v1.1.3 -> v1.1.4 plus some more v1.2-specific fixes. Not many people have been testing v1.2 releases. Wonder if there's something I could do to improve that. I guess v1.2 is kind of missing those killer features that would get a lot of people to try it. :) I've slowly started working on replication, but I've been pretty busy with school recently. I'm hoping to become a bit less busy when some of the courses end in a few weeks, but then again I should also write my B.Sc. essay ("Scalable high-performance email setups" in Finnish) before christmas and that'll probably take some time if I want to do it well.

[Dovecot] Mbox problem in 1.1.3 solved in 1.1.4
by Tomas Ögren 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hello. This is just a FYI mail to get the problem (and solution) into a searchable archive.. I ran into the following problem with mbox: Panic: IMAP(XXX): file index-sync.c: line 39 (index_mailbox_set_recent_uid): assertion failed: (seq_range_exists(&ibox->recent_flags, uid)) Which was fully reproducable in 1.1.3, but in the newly released 1.1.4 this does not happen anymore. All is well, birds are singing etc. /Tomas -- Tomas Ögren, stric(a)cs.umu.se, http://www.cs.umu.se/~stric/ `- Student and SysAdmin at Computing Science, University of Umeå
