[Dovecot] Need help with "mbox sync" problem
by Jim Garrison 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

The following is occurring consistently on users in only one vhost domain. Other vhost domains are not having the problem. The email client in use is the same (in both the working and non-working domains). dovecot: Jan 29 21:19:18 Error: POP3(user1(a)mydomain.tld): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/vhosts/mydomain.tld/user1 (5629 > 5423, seq=2, idx_msgs=5) dovecot: Jan 29 21:19:18 Info: POP3(user1(a)mydomain.tld): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=95/508506, del=95/95, size=506866 dovecot: Jan 29 21:19:52 Error: POP3(user2(a)mydomain.tld): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail /vhosts/mydomain.tld/user2 (5634 > 5629, seq=2, idx_msgs=95) dovecot: Jan 29 21:19:52 Info: POP3(user2(a)mydomain.tld): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=5/69654, del=5/5, si ze=69562 Once this message starts occurring, dovecot stops deleting retrieved messages when the user retrieves mail (with 'delete from server' set). The result is that the entire mailbox contents are fetched each time, resulting in copious amounts of duplicate messages. I'm on the rc8 RPM that comes with FC5, but am willing to remove it and install a later Dovecot built from source. 1) Is this a known problem that can be fixed by upgrading? 2) If not, can someone tell me what this message means exactly, and how to gather more information for debugging? The MTA is Postfix. Thanks

Make sure your acl file ends with LF (there is an empty line at the end) otherwise dovecot doesn't read the last line.

[Dovecot] How to prevent SQL injection
by Jochen Schulz 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi, on my way home today I thought a little bit about my setup which involves user and password lookups in an SQL database (Postgres). I asked myself whether I need to do anything to prevent SQL injection via forged user or domainnames. In the wiki I didn't find anything specific, only http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables which mentions that there is the %E modifier which escapes single quites and backslashes. This appears to be a good idea but I am asking myself whether I need to do this since it is not mentioned anywhere. Is anybody able to comment on this? And BTW, it appears that one can use several modifiers at once. This is only implicitly mentioned in the wiki (You can apply modifier*s*), but it appears to work.

Perhaps what you might be seeing is file system caching. I notice this when performing NFS I/O tests: the first re-read is fast but decays over time as data is rolled out of the cache.

[Dovecot] Looking for IMAP maintenance tools
by Jens Knoell 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

Hi I'm currently prowling for some IMAP tools to help me maintain our mailboxes. I'd prefer "pure" IMAP, i.e. no messing with file system directly, but would settle for more crude ways if need be. Specifically I am looking for: - Expunge tool: Outlook does not seem to auto-expunge messages in any way shape or form. So I'd like to run a daily cron to expunge all mailboxes. - Quota helper: Some way to send a warning email once a day or so, saying "you're close to your quota limit, please delete some mail" or somesuch Granted, I could write these two from scratch - but why reinvent the wheel? Thanks Jen

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0 on a Mandriva 2007 box
by hackhound 31 Jan '07

31 Jan '07

I installed the RPM, and fought with it for days before realizing the packaged config file is incorrect. So I downloaded the latest tarball and used the sample dovecot.conf file. I was finally able to get dovecot to run as long as I leave the mail_location line commented out. If I uncomment the line dovecot complains that "mail_location" is an "unknown setting". What am I missing? Thanks, JB

[Dovecot] help a journalist: What do you wish the CIO understood about fighting spam?
by Esther Schindler 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hi, folks. I'm senior online editor at CIO.com, and I'm working on an article for which I'd very much like your help. There's often a lack of communication between techies and top company management. Maybe they don't want to hear about problems; perhaps you give them technical details that are far more granular than they want to know. But dealing with spam is a topic that every e-mail admin has to cope with -- and I'm not sure that the CIO knows the real issues. I have the ear of the boss, however. Essentially, I'm trying to put together the collected wisdom of e-mail and network admins in a fashion that CIOs will understand. Or at least one teeny corner of it. So I have a very simple question to pose to you: ***If you could get your CIO (or top management) to understand one thing, just ONE thing, about fighting spam, what would it be?*** And the follow-up: why did you pick that one item? Feel free to share anecdotes, horror stories, even success stories. While I hope that every CIO will read this article, I also hope that it becomes the document you bring to a new manager ("Here: this is what's important to me"). I'm sure there are plenty of other things that you wish your CIO grokked, whether about e-mail administration or other topics (not the least of which is "the e-mail admin is underpaid"). But I do have to limit myself somehow, and "what's important about fighting spam" has a lot of leeway. I'll be sure to stop by here (as I expect others want to participate in the conversation), but feel free to cc me with your response or send me a private message. I'm hoping for a rather fast turnaround on this article, so please blurt out your first thoughts rather than plan on writing a nice, leisurely response. If all goes well, I'd like to get this article posted in the next couple of weeks. Please be sure to let me know how to refer to you in the article; the usual format is &name, &title, &company and &location ("Esther Schindler is a senior developer at the Groovy Corporation in Scottsdale Arizona"). If you give me some kind of context I'm willing to work without one. That is, I do need some identifying characteristics to give the article credibility ("Esther works at a large finance company in the Southwest").

[Dovecot] Cannot fill the maildir with mails
by Peter Selter 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hello! I have installed Dovecot yesterday as a simple connection between a local mailbox and Novell Evolution. I have set up a POP3 service that I can succesfully connect to. I chose the Maildir structure but the whole box is empty. When I try "echo ´test´ | mail -s ´test´ user42" it doesn´t reach the mailbox. What can I do? I could also try the mbox format but Evolution has problems connection to an mbox file, it just says "loading..." and nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated :-) regards, Peter ____________ Virus checked by G DATA AntiVirusKit

[Dovecot] popa3d migration
by FiL ＠ Kpoxa 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hello, I'm sure there is no good answer to my question, but it doesn't take much to ask, so I will. I am about to migrate my current Dovecot IMAP + Popa3d mailbox server to Maildir. I need to keep both protocols (IMAP and POP3) and will be switching to Dovecot on both. The question is simple - is there any way to keep POP3 UIDs through migration, so people won't get duplicates in their inboxes. Second question is not that important but if somebody has a good answer it will be really nice - is there any way to keep IMAP UIDs? With IMAP it won't create dups, but loosing (changing) UIDs will create extra load on the server. I know, this is more about mailbox->Maildir conversion, not dovecot, but this is the only place I can ask this question P.S. am running dovecot on linux FC5 right now, but will be upgrading to FC6 / dovecot 1.0 release at the time of migration. Won't do it before 1.0 final comes out Thank you, FiL

[Dovecot] dirsize quotas crashing 1.0.rc19
by Dean Brooks 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hi, I've been trying to get dirsize quotas to work properly with 1.0rc19 and Dovecot consistently crashes when attempting to do file copies once a user is over quota. Dovecot works fine for us for regular mbox based IMAP, but as soon as I add the following two entries in their respective locations in dovecot.conf: mail_plugins = quota imap_quota (in the imap{} section) quota = dirsize:storage=2000 (in the plugin{} section) If a user goes over quota, and they attempt to copy a file to a folder via IMAP, all I get is this: dovecot: [ID 684838 mail.error] child 20868 (imap) killed with signal 10 Is anyone successfully using dirsize:storage quotas with 1.0rc19? If so, can someone else verify if they see crashes like this? As soon as I remove the quota plugin, the crashes go away and all is good, so there's obviously some sort of problem in the quota plugin. Regards, Dean Brooks dean(a)iglou.com

Re: [Dovecot] repeat downloads of message headers in 1.0rc19
by James Garrison 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

I reported this against rc7 and rc8, and still see it occasionally. (I'm running the rc8 that comes with Fedora 5). It is always associated with this message in dovecot.log: dovecot: Oct 23 19:26:17 Error: POP3(user(a)domain.tld): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/vhosts/domain.tld/user (12 > 4, seq=2, idx_msgs=5) Once this happens, dovecot will refuse to clear out the mbox file when the user retrieves email via POP. Each time the user logs in to retrieve mail s/he gets everything in the mbox, which continues to grow. The only fix I've been able to find is to manually delete the mbox file. I'm using postfix as the MTA. -- James Garrison Athens Group, Inc. mailto:jhg@athensgroup.com 5608 Parkcrest Dr http://www.athensgroup.com Austin, TX 78731 SKYPE callto:jhg-athensgroup (512) 345-0600 x150 PGP Key ID: 0x22E8DA2A

[Dovecot] repeat downloads of message headers in 1.0rc19
by Brian G. Peterson 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

I upgraded one server to 1.0rc19 (from rc15) over the weekend, and have since received several reports of dovecot erroneously retrieving older messages as new mail. I've seen this myself intermittently on KMail, and users have reported it on Thunderbird, Squirrelmail, and Outlook. I see some things in the archives that suggest that this was a problem in older 1.0 release candidates, but hadn't experienced the problem myself until just now. Has anyone else seen this problem?

[Dovecot] Best small server config
by - 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hi, Busy with dovecot on a linux server with not very much RAM in it (512 MB max total). On this server dovecot will only handle about 12 users, with never more than 3 IMAP webmail users at a time, and a maximum of 2 POP3 users at a time using it. I'm going all secure later on, but first I would like your opinion on what configuration best to use with, say, max 5 users busy at one time, and have it use as little RAM and CPU as possible. (Same machine is also running httpd, squirrelmail, php5, postfix, clamd, clamsmtpd, sshd.) Here's my /etc/dovecot.conf now: # protocols = imap pop3 imap_listen = * pop3_listen = my.servers.ip.address (hidden for this list) ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/imapd.pem ssl_parameters_file = /var/run/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat ssl_parameters_regenerate = 320 login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login = imap login = pop3 default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir mailbox_idle_check_interval = 40 mail_full_filesystem_access = yes login_user = dovecot login_process_size = 64 login_process_per_connection = no login_processes_count = 4 login_max_processes_count = 4 login_max_logging_users = 5 max_mail_processes = 140 imap_process_size = 192 pop3_process_size = 64 first_valid_uid = 500 last_valid_uid = 520 mail_cache_fields = MessagePart mbox_locks = fcntl mbox_read_dotlock = no mbox_lock_timeout = 380 auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_process_size = 64 auth_user = root # Any insight or advice welcomed!

[Dovecot] Benchmarking
by Timo Sirainen 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

I wasted too much time today doing this, but they do show a few interesting things: 1) mmap_disable=yes is faster than mmap_disable=no. I didn't expect this. I'm not yet sure why this is, but possibly because then it updates the mail index by reading the changes from dovecot.index.log, instead of reopening and re-mmaping dovecot.index. At least that's the biggest difference between them. 2) Dovecot is faster than Cyrus, at least in test. I didn't really expect this either, because with maildir Dovecot has to do extra rename() calls for all flag changes. I'm guessing it's expunges that are slowing Cyrus down the most (that causes it to rewrite its cache file). 3) fsync_disable=yes + mmap_disable=yes almost doubles the performance with 1 client, and over quadruples the performance with 10 clients. Why fsync_disable=yes + mmap_disable=no doesn't give that big of a performance difference? I've no idea. This is anyway such a large performance increment that I'll probably go and backport this setting to v1.0 too :) 4) Dovecot's mbox code kicks maildir's ass. 5) dbox is surprisingly slow. I'll have to find out why. I don't think it should be that slow. 6) Courier.. Well, it probably doesn't come as a shock that Dovecot is almost twice as fast. Note that Courier doesn't call fsync(), so it can't be compared to Dovecot's fsync_disable=no numbers or to Cyrus. Oh, one other difference between Courier and others was that it didn't support LITERAL+ extension, so it maybe could have done a bit less appends than others. 7) CVS HEAD and branch_1_0 don't seem to have that big of a performance difference. All the tests were done using my IMAP tester: http://dovecot.org/tools/imaptest.c The mailbox data that was being appended was Dovecot's mailing list: http://dovecot.org/archives/dovecot.mbox The linefeeds were converted to CR+LF. However, for the Dovecot CVS HEAD runs the mails contained also those extra X-UID, Status, etc. headers which I had to remove before Cyrus would accept them (the lines didn't contain CRs).

[Dovecot] dovecot patch for filesystem quota

from a fellow pkgsrc-developer (who is not subscribed to this list) Geert ----- Forwarded message from Manuel Bouyer <Manuel.Bouyer(a)lip6.fr> ----- From: Manuel Bouyer <Manuel.Bouyer(a)lip6.fr> Message-ID: <20070129115851.GA12360(a)asim.lip6.fr> Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 12:58:51 +0100 To: ghen(a)NetBSD.org Subject: dovecot patch for filesystem quota User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.13 (2006-08-11) Hi, I've installed dovecot on a mail server with filesystem quota, and I noticed that dovect reports wrong informations for quotas to the client (the ratio is correct though, so it will properly detect when quota is nearly full anyway). The attached patch fixes it for me, and I suspect is also correct for others BSDs. I don't know for AIX. --- src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c.orig 2007-01-28 22:35:32.000000000 +0100 +++ src/plugins/quota/quota-fs.c 2007-01-28 22:36:12.000000000 +0100 @@ -250,8 +250,8 @@ quota_set_error(_root->setup->quota, "Internal quota error"); return -1; } - *value_r = (uint64_t)dqblk.dqb_curblocks * 1024 / DEV_BSIZE; - *limit_r = (uint64_t)dqblk.dqb_bsoftlimit * 1024 / DEV_BSIZE; + *value_r = (uint64_t)dqblk.dqb_curblocks * DEV_BSIZE / 1024; + *limit_r = (uint64_t)dqblk.dqb_bsoftlimit * DEV_BSIZE / 1024; #else /* Solaris */ if (root->mount->fd == -1) ----- End forwarded message -----

[Dovecot] POP3 logging in wrong timezone
by - 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

I have dovecot running on a CentOS 4.4 server, and it is logging IMAP entries just fine, in the right timezone (GMT+1), which the server itself is running on (CET), but pop3 is being logged in GMT 0, so 1 hour too early. pop3 log-entries are at the right position in the maillog, but with the wrong time next to it. Now I've read some messages in this list about this bug (or feature), but have no clue as to how to solve it. Anyone? Thanks in advance, Ben

[Dovecot] per-network auth mechanisms
by George Moury 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

Hi All, I need use different auth mechanisms for different IP-address of IMAP/SMTP SASL clients (allow plain authorisation only for my own network), but there is no examples at wiki.dovecot.org for this feature. Is this feature available at rc19 version? Thank you in advance. Best regards, George
