SunOS pop01.unix 5.10 Generic_118844-26 i86pc i386 i86pc dovecot-1.0.beta3 Dovecot itself runs well, and was easy to confirgure with LDAP. However, I am seeing a cpu busy-loop in dovecot-auth.

[Dovecot] batch convert mbox to maildir
by Netlink Tech 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Hello, I have used mb2md for an individual user like this: su ~username cd ~ ./mb2md -m This converted /var/spool/mail/username mbox to /home/users/username/Maildir just as I expected. To convert 100s of users the same way would be a chore (su as each user for permissions, etc.). Is there a way to batch process all /var/spool/mail/$USER to /home/users/$USER/Maildir with the correct permissions/file owners for each user?

[Dovecot] Re: Courier to Dovecot Maildir conversion
by Roger Weeks 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

We went through a courier to dovecot conversion. There are a couple of things that might be causing this problem. 1. Dovecot namespaces 2. Client configuration Your namespaces might not be taking into account the fact that courier prefixed all files and directories in the maildir with a dot (.). You can get around this a couple of ways. We had almost no IMAP clients under courier, so I renamed everything in our IMAP client directories away from .files and .directories, and used a default namespace without dots. Also some clients like Apple Mail needed an IMAP prefix like INBOX. to work with courier. I had to remove those with the dovecot namespace I set up. -- Roger J.

[Dovecot] hard quota example, 1.0b3
by Jeff A. Earickson 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Timo, Here's an example of the filesystem quota issue: A user was near his hard filesystem quota, so he moved some junk to his Trash folder to clear disk space. He got the following error on his IMAP client: "Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. {2006-04033 11:08:44]". My setup: Solaris 9, beta3 (soon going to beta4), mbox format, IMAP only. Home directories (where IMAP folders and index files go) have filesystem quotas. Jeff Earickson Colby College

This feature should not rely on plug-ins, mailbox format, etc. It should be built into the base code, IMHO. Jeff Earickson Colby College

[Dovecot] MySQL auth issues?
by Matthias Saou 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Hi, Since my last email about RHEL4 problems on x86_64, I've kept trying to figure out what the problem might be, and just ran into a reply to an old email I sent to the list, which I had missed. It suggests that the issue might be in the MySQL authentication that I'm using. Here is a more detailed log entry, with auto debugging on : Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 lip=::ffff:195.x.x.x rip=::ffff:195.x.x.x resp=AHBhcnRuZXJzQdNvbW1lcm3lZ2F0ZS5jb20Aa2F2YWthdmE= Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: auth(default): client out: OK 1 user=x(a)domain.com Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 70 22190 1 Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: auth-worker(default): sql(x@domain.com,::ffff:195.x.x.x): SELECT maildir, 101 AS uid, 103 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = 'x(a)domain.com' Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER 70 x(a)domain.com maildir=domain.com/x/ uid=101 gid=103 Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<x(a)domain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:195.x.x.x, lip=::ffff:195.x.x.x Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: pop3(x(a)domain.com): ^GUnexpected eof found when reading file 'UNOPENED' (Errcode: 0) Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 last message repeated 2 times Apr 3 13:13:02 s1 dovecot: pop3(x(a)domain.com): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/2, size=17174 Those "Unexpected eof found when reading file 'fileName'" messages are apparently from MySQL, as one can see here for instance : http://www.mysqlfreaks.com/errors/49.php Here is my relevant configuration (all the rest is the default) : login_greeting = Ready. verbose_proctitle = yes first_valid_uid = 101 default_mail_env = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n:INDEX=MEMORY auth_cache_size = 512 auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } } The INDEX=MEMORY was added because of similar errors with the indexes : Apr 3 12:56:44 s1 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<x(a)domain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:195.x.x.x, lip=::ffff:195.x.x.x, TLS Apr 3 12:56:44 s1 dovecot: pop3(x(a)domaine.com): Corrupted transaction log file /home/vmail/domain.com/x/dovecot.index.log: unexpected end of file while reading header Apr 3 12:56:44 s1 dovecot: pop3(x(a)domain.com): Corrupted transaction log file /home/vmail/domain.com/x/dovecot.index.log: unexpected end of file while reading header Apr 3 12:56:44 s1 dovecot: pop3(x(a)domain.com): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 (this was when the auth_debug wasn't enabled) Here is my /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf file : driver = mysql connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=postfix user=postfix password=xxx default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' user_query = SELECT maildir, 101 AS uid, 103 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' I'm using MySQL 4.1.12-3.RHEL4.1 (the original RHEL4 packages), with the server on the same machine (hence the socket access). I was seeing this also with 0.9, not just 1.0 betas. With x86_64 packages, any slight change to the main dovecot.conf file can prevent dovecot from starting (segfault with "Unexpected eof found when reading file 'UNOPENED' (Errcode: 0)" message), whereas i386 packages work somewhat better. This is on the same machine with an i386 compatibility layer. Is anyone using MySQL auth successfully? Any help or pointers would be more than welcome.

[Dovecot] mbox-sync-update.c error
by Carlos Vicente 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Hi, I think the problem is in Dovecot. I'm using both Evolution and Thunderbird on a Gentoo box. One of my folders keeps locking up and the clients can't retrieve the messages. The situation appears to be triggered by trying to move a message into that folder. Deleting the index files (under /var/log/dovecot/xxx/) solves the problem (temporarily). I get these error messages in the logs: Mar 31 15:10:34 dovecot: imap(cvicente): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /home/xxx/Mail/xxx (93 > 3, seq=93, idx_msgs=3455) Mar 31 15:10:34 dovecot: imap(cvicente): file mbox-sync-update.c: line 55 (mbox_sync_move_buffer): assertion failed: (ctx->mail.offset + ctx->mail.space <= ctx->hdr_offset + pos || ctx->mail.offset > ctx->hdr_offset + pos + have) Mar 31 15:10:35 dovecot: child 32373 (imap) killed with signal 6 M I'm running dovecot-1.0_beta3 Hope this gets some attention from the developers. cv >In the maillog I get > > Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<hartr>, > method=plain, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured > Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap(hartr): mbox sync: UID inserted > in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/hartr (8 > 1, seq=2, idx_msgs=4) > Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap(hartr): file mbox-sync-update.c: > line 55 (mbox_sync_move_buffer): assertion failed: (ctx->mail.offset > + ctx->mail.space <= ctx->hdr_offset + pos || ctx->mail.offset > > ctx->hdr_offset + pos + have) > Mar 29 09:17:26 bree dove

[Dovecot] imap processes remaing after dovecot shutdown
by Marten Lehmann 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hello, I'm using dovecot-1.0.beta3. When I shutdown dovecot (kill -term on the master-pid) the main process disappears, but all the child processes still remain. Why doesn't dovecot kill them as I shutdown the master-process? When I shutdown mysql, all child processes will be shutdown, too. When I shutdown apache, all child processes willbe shutdown, too. Thats what I expect on every application. Usually there is no need to shutdown dovecot. But for some reasons, from time to time 50 and more processes of one user are running and I don't know how else to get rid of them. I don't like to kill the child processes always manually.

Re: [Dovecot] Quick question. Thunderbird/Outlook = no love.
by Charlie Davis 02 Apr '06

Ok, it worked once, then stopped working. To get away from maybe it being a thunderbird setup issue, I made a little php script. And now I have an error that didn't show up in the dovecot log even though I have auth_debug and auth_verbose set to yes. Here's what the imap socket returned to the php script: Array ( [0] => Certificate failure for 10.0.0.208: self signed certificate: /OU=IMAP server/CN=imap.example.com/emailAddress=postmaster@example.com ) So, I gotta setup my certificate stuff which I can do, But couldn't this have shown up in the dovecot log somehow? -Charlie ----- On Saturday, April 1, 2006 fishgills(a)fishgills.net wrote: > Turns out some Anti-Virus email scanners don't support TLS. > > Sorry again!

[Dovecot] postfix 2.3 SMTP AUTH and Outlook
by Antonin Karasek 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Hi all, I just maked $SUBJECT to run. The main problem was, that in Dovecot are by default enabled only plain digest-md5 and cram-md5 authentication mechanisms. While MS Outlook knows only "LOGIN" mechanism. So, Outlook users wasn't able to use SMTP AUTH. The solution is to change a line in dovecot.conf: mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 to: mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 login I suggest Timo to change the default configuration, and the page http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication -- more precisely the line "LOGIN: Similiar to PLAIN, not very useful. [in 1.0-tests only]" -- I think, that this line is a little confusing. Becouse since one can use Dovecot for SASL authentication, "LOGIN" is starting to be useful (because of the M*S* bullshit).

[Dovecot] Repot: Problems with Fedora core 5, Dovecot and Thunderbird - is this a Dovecot bete3 bug?
by Robert Hart 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Hi One Wed I posted the following message and have had no replies. I am reposting as I think this is a Dovecot bug but I am not sure. If anyone can assist on this I'd be most grateful. Tks ----------------------------------------------------- Hi I am testing FC5 before upgrading my main server and I am getting errors with dovecot 1.0 beta3 - both the distributed RPM and also the one at ATrpms and thunderbird (the distributed version which is thunderbird-1.5-6) I am running both dovecot and thunderbird on the same machine, pointing thunderbird at 127.0.0.1 for its imap server. The symptoms are an inability to access mail - thunderbird just keeps on trying and getting nowhere and even if I shut down thunderbird on the client, it still leaves processes running that have to be killed by hand. In the maillog I get Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<hartr>, method=plain, rip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, lip=::ffff:127.0.0.1, secured Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap(hartr): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/hartr (8 > 1, seq=2, idx_msgs=4) Mar 29 09:17:25 bree dovecot: imap(hartr): file mbox-sync-update.c: line 55 (mbox_sync_move_buffer): assertion failed: (ctx->mail.offset + ctx->mail.space <= ctx->hdr_offset + pos || ctx->mail.offset > ctx->hdr_offset + pos + have) Mar 29 09:17:26 bree dovecot: child 14242 (imap) killed with signal 6 When I point this thunderbird at my main (dovecot 0.99) server everything is fine, which seems to suggest that this is a dovecot problem and not a thunderbird one. Can anyone give me any pointers on this please as it's a show stopper for upgrading my main server. Tks -- Robert Hart hartr(a)interweft.com.au +61 (0)438 385 533 http://www.hart.wattle.id.au

[Dovecot] Courier to Dovecot Maildir converstion
by Jeff S. 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Hello, I am running Dovecot 0.99 on OpenSuse 10.0. Previously, I was running courier IMAP with vpopmail on Suse 9.3. In the process of the change, I decided to sing MySQL to authenticate the users, provide home dir, uid and gid. I tar'ed up the old mail directories, moved them to the new server, added a new user and group to own the files, set the files uid/gid to match the values in the db. Next, I followed the Migration directions on http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration. I can successfully authenticate the new users, have no errors in the log file but when I am logged in I only see the Inbox. There should be other folders as well as mail in the inbox. No errors in the log files. Any ideas?

[Dovecot] Authentication Problem MD5 hashs
by Fabrizio Steiner 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

Hello I've migrated to dovecot-1.0beta3 and I have taken over the password files from an older system. For some reason the md5 hashs have "[" chars in the salt. For example like this $1$[xxxXX[E$bg/d4JdSSf2kTL8sXXxXXX Now the problem is that in the file src/auth/db-passwd-file.c on line 43 for libpam-pwdfile compatibility it will be searched for "[" to find the type of the password hash. Then only the hash up to this point will be used in future for comparing the passwords. The problem line. p = pass == NULL ? NULL : strchr(pass, '['); I changed the behavior to always use the complete hash out of the file because I don't use pam. Does anyone know if [ chars are allowed in md5 hashs? Kind Regards Fabrizio Steiner
