[Dovecot] AIX and posix_fallocate
by Ralf Becker 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, AIX's implementation of posix_fallocate is a little bit, let me say, peculiar. Attached is a patch to "fix" (=work around) this. Without you'll see this in the logs: Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): posix_fallocate() failed: File exists Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): file_set_size() failed with mbox file /u/f0/rzuser/beckerr/Mail/Ham: File exists Funny, isn't it? This is what it should be: Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): posix_fallocate() failed: Operation not supported on socket Jul 28 01:17:41 trevi mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(beckerr): file_set_size() failed with mbox file /u/f0/rzuser/beckerr/Mail/Ham: Operation not supported on socket The problem is, that errno is not correcly set, when posix_fallocate returns EOPNOTSUPP (="Operation not supported on socket"). In this case the return code has to be checked rather than errno. When patched dovecot handles err==EOPNOTSUPP the same way like errno==EINVAL on Solaris. A note for all AIX Admins: Without APAR IZ48778: POSIX_FALLOCATE() FAILS WITH ERROR-25(ENOTTY) resp. IZ46961: POSIX_FALLOCATE() FAILS WITH ERROR-25(ENOTTY) APPLIES TO AIX 5300-06 you don't even get EOPNOTSUPP: posix_fallocate fails with NOTTY. So you have to install one of this fixes to make the patch work. Ralf -- ______________________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Inform.

[Dovecot] lock files causing time outs with Thunderbird
by CJ Keist 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

I have dovecot 1.1.16 running on Solaris 10. We are seeing problem with lock files taking forever to be removed after opening a email folder like Trash with several thousand messages in them. We use mbox format. All users inbox's are local to the mail server, and all other users mail folders are stored on a separate file server mounted via NFS. I see no problems with the NFS mounts. cd'ing into the mount points, listing files and viewing files a perform with now visible delays. Is there something I can do in the config file to speed things up? Here is the config file: # 1.1.16: /userM/mail-services/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 256 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 3072).

[Dovecot] imap, locks, and dovecot
by Mauricio Tavares 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Let's say I have two computers -- a desktop and a laptop -- setup to check email on my postfix/dovecot/mailscanner box by using imap. Now, both machines use thunderbird and have a filter in that mail client to move emails that have a certain to: address (an alias, like support(a)domain.com) to a mail directory. The desktop is setup to check for mail every minute while the laptop initially is told to do the same. So, I send an email to the said address. dovecot (1.1.7) puts it in the inbox. thunderbird in one of those machines sees it and moves it to the, say, support folder. Then, another copy of the same mail is created and placed in the same folder. I then begin increasing the time the laptop waits before checking mails. Up to 5 minutes I am still having the double email issue, but if I the laptop to wait 10 minutes I only have one copy of the said email. That makes me think both clients are seeing the same email and moving it at the same time. I do not know the imap commands being used but it sure seems that there is not some kind of locking system for the mail files (I use maildir) to make sure only one program is accessing the said email. Am I correct? Is there a way around that?

[Dovecot] Filtering with Public Namespaces and Sieve Plugin
by Thomas Leuxner 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, after upgrading to Dovecot 1.2x including the rewritten Sieve plugin replacing 'cmusieve', messages which have formerly been filed to a "Public/Mailing-List" maildir are no longer filtered correctly. The sieve script itself is included in the user's personal-script. The messages are dropped to the INBOX rather than the "Public Namespace Maildir". Log's don't give a hint (at least to me). The documentation says the personal script should automatically fetch the include, and compile it in the users home...

[Dovecot] sieve redirect action
by Nikita Koshikov 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hello Stephan, First of all, thank you for dovecot-sieve implementation. I see that you are adding X-Sieve header to all outgoing e-mail in cmd-redirect.c /* Prepend sieve version header (should not affect signatures) */ rfc2822_header_field_write(f, "X-Sieve", SIEVE_IMPLEMENTATION); How do you look at adding one more header, for example X-Sieve-Forward-From: Now, when redirect action is in use - mail forwards using sendmail command line interface. The problem that there is no suitable way to know which user's script has generate redirect. Received: header may contain envelope receiver but this is valid if only 1 "rcpt to:" command was specified on SMTP session. This invokes problem when forwarding mail to non-local domains, breaking such things like SPF. I'd like to setup SRS for fixing this, but I don't know sender("sieve local user") mail. Adding one header with valid local user e-mail address will fix this. Google add 2 headers for this - X-Forwarded-To: and X-Forwarded-For: . What do you think about this ?

Re: [Dovecot] Some people asked me lately about how professional Dovecot is.
by Stewart Dean 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

I purely love that kind of crap. As if presentations meant anything, as if there aren't all kinds of scholarly work about theoretical perfect world algorithms and conceptual systems that will never be implemented and are as practical and effective as wings on a pig. Please. I'm reminded of the story about how, during the American Civil War, when the North had finally, after years of ignominious defeats, gotten a general would could fight and win a battle, General Grant. A fussy old lady approached President Lincoln and complained loudly that Grant was a drunk. Lincoln blinked at the woman, then said, "Ma'am, if you'll be so kind as to find out what kind of whiskey Grant drinks, I'll send a case of it to all the other generals." Dovecot Works. That's all anyone needs to know. Plus it has a towering wizard of a developer and an avid, engaged and endlessly helpful community. -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035

[Dovecot] sieve 0.1.8 raw backtrace
by jsechser＠gmx.ch 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

hi, I had two problems with deliver / sieve. First one is not reproducible anymore. Im using debian unstable (amd64), often dist-upgraded, with some experimental stuff too (wine i think). The first basically triggered a backtrace when confronted an email with spammassassins report headers prepended. (user_prefs: report_safe 0) However i dont have that backtrace anymore, sorry. The second poped up only later as i began to investigate more the first, a few days later. Now my entire sieve script seemed broken suddenly. After some time i narrowed it down to one offending line: >require ["fileinto","regex"]; > >if address :regex "to" ["m-a-test(a)test\\.ch","m-a-members(a)test\\.ch", \ >"m-a-region(a)test\\.ch","m-a-sig(a)test\\.ch"] { > fileinto "Test"; > stop; >} if i remove even one of the regex tests, then this script will not make deliver or sieve_test go panic. here the backtrace: 2009-07-29 18:15:37 deliver(xxx): Panic: pool_data_stack_realloc(): stack frame changed 2009-07-29 18:15:37 deliver(xxx): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x496bc2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver(default_fatal_handler+0x34) [0x496cc4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x496346] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x4a18fb] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x494185] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver(buffer_write_zero+0xe5) [0x494a55] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca98ff2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_match_value+0xb0) [0x7f444ca8ea10] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_address_match+0xe3) [0x7f444ca8e5f3] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca9291b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_interpreter_continue+0x97) [0x7f444ca89307] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_interpreter_run+0x48) [0x7f444ca894f8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca96716] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so(sieve_execute+0x3d) [0x7f444ca9698d] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so [0x7f444ca7dc8a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver(main+0xf5e) [0x41d0fe] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7f444ceea5c6] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver [0x41b029] I hope this helps cheers

[Dovecot] v1.2.2 released
by Timo Sirainen 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.2.tar.gz.sig Found and fixes several v1.2-specific bugs. Hopefully it's now stable for most people's usage. * GSSAPI: More changes to authentication. Hopefully good now. * lazy_expunge plugin: Drop \Deleted flag when moving message. + dovecot -n/-a now outputs also lda settings. + dovecot.conf !include now supports globs (e.g. !include /etc/dovecot/*.conf). Based on patch by Thomas Guthmann. + acl: Support spaces in user/group identifiers. + shared mailboxes: If only %%n is specified in prefix, default to current user's domain. - Dovecot master process could hang if it received signals too rapidly. - Fixed "corrupted index cache file" errors (and perhaps others) caused by e.g. IMAP's FETCH BODY[] command. - IMAP: When QRESYNC is enabled, don't crash when a new mail is received while IDLEing. - IMAP: FETCH X-* parameters weren't working. - Maildir++ quota: Quota was sometimes updated wrong when it was being recalculated. - Searching quoted-printable message body internally converted "_" characters to spaces and didn't match search keys with "_". - Messages in year's first/last day may have had broken timezones with OSes not having struct tm->tm_gmtoff (e.g. Solaris). - virtual plugin: If another session adds a new mailbox to index, don't crash.

[Dovecot] dovecot-1.2.2+sieve 0.1.9: sieve issues with (global?) includes
by Tom Hendrikx 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi, After upgrading from dovecot 1.1 to dovecot 1.2.2 and the new sieve implementation (0.1.9), I'm having some strange problems. I'm including some general purpose scripts into my user script from sieve_global_dir. After some tests it seems that ths scripts get executed at random: sometimes the mail gets stored in the correct dir, and sometimes it goes to inbox. This also happens while using the same compiled .svbin file. Another indication that something is wrong with the compiled .svbin is output of sieved (see below). Running sieved on the compiled test{1,2,3}.svbin files gives regular output. Any ideas what could be causing this? user script: =============================== require ["include"]; include :global "test1.sieve"; include :global "test2.sieve"; include :global "test3.sieve"; keep; =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test1.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test1" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test2.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test2" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== /etc/dovecot/sieve/test3.sieve: =============================== require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "Subject" "test3" { fileinto "sieve_test"; stop; } =============================== Log output with mail_debug=yes: =============================== #

[Dovecot] Random flags appearing on messages
by Michael M. Slusarz 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Not reproducible every time, but every so often, after viewing an unseen message, I am seeing the first non-system flag set on the message without an intervening STORE call. Here's an example: 2 EXAMINE "XXX" (QRESYNC (1165391112 78 12160:12162,12168:12171,12173,12178,12183,12191,12360,12431,12560,12762,12765,13037,13089,13094,13196,13457,13460,13495,13548,13549,13561,13590,13597,13598)) * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft impflag0 impflag1) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. ... 7 UID FETCH 13608 (ENVELOPE FLAGS RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (LIST-POST X-PRIORITY)]) * 30 FETCH (UID 13608 FLAGS (\Recent) ... On the next access: 2 SELECT "XXX" (QRESYNC (1165391112 79 12160:12162,12168:12171,12173,12178,12183,12191,12360,12431,12560,12762,12765,13037,13089,13094,13196,13457,13460,13495,13548,13549,13561,13590,13597,13598,13608)) * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft impflag0 impflag1) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft impflag0 impflag1 \*)] Flags permitted. ... 3 UID FETCH 13608 (BODY[HEADER]) * 30 FETCH (UID 13608 FLAGS (\Seen \Recent impflag0) BODY[HEADER] {2529} ... As can be seen, impflag0 has been magically set somehow. Stranger still, dovecot won't let you unset the flag (this might have something to do with QRESYNC since, if I run this command without the UNCHANGEDSINCE parameter, it will unset the flag): 4 UID STORE 13608 (UNCHANGEDSINCE 82) -FLAGS (impflag0) 4 OK Store completed. FYI, I am using dovecot 1.2.1 on archlinux (they haven't upgraded the package to 1.2.2 yet, but I didn't see anything in the 1.2.2 release notes that leads me to believe this has been fixed). michael

[Dovecot] High Availability strategies
by Joseba Torre 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hi, we have a medium setup (8000 pop and imap users using almost every available client, 800GB of stored mails using maildir on a Celerra NFS server, with index files on local disks, and procmail for local delivery), being served by a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (2GB RAM and dual P4 Xeon 3,2GHz). Our current not-so-high availability setup is based on a similar server with the same setup and a easy but manual process to switch from one server to another. We are thinking about setting up some kind of serious high availability, but for every strategy we think about some problems appear, and I'd like to hear your opinions about them: - The recommended setup, with each user being sent always to the same server, is not possible because our load balancers (Cisco Catalyst 6000) can't do that. - We could put both servers behind the load balancer, and keep local index files on each server. Usually the same ip we'll be redirected to the same server, so few problems will arise. When a user is sent to a new server, index will be rebuilt so performance will be bad but we should not expect other problems, right? - We could also put the index files on a nfs share. No problems, but pretty bad performance. - We could also get more ram for the servers and keep indices in memory. How can we compare these solutions? Apart from performance, are other problems expected? Using deliver instead of procmail could improve performance? - We've also thought about some more or less weird setups, like setting up a GFS filesystem for the index files, or setting up a proxy on every server which redirect users to their fixed server, but they seem too complex for few advantages. Any recommendations? How are you doing this? -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, área de Explotación

[Dovecot] Stuck with dovecot-sieve and horde-ingo ...
by Stefan G. Weichinger 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Hello, dovecot-users ... as you may read at http://lists.horde.org/archives/horde/Week-of-Mon-20090706/037786.html I am stuck getting dovecot-sieve working with the ingo-application of the horde-framework. To me it seems as if ingo doesn't even trigger any request/command to managesieve ... I set "mail_debug=yes" in the managesieve-section of dovecot.conf but don't see any errors there, in fact not even loglines in /var/log/mail ... Any way to increase the loglevel here? Apache also doesn't log any errors. I am able to contact managesieve via telnet or even thunderbird's sieve-plugin. I edited the relevant backends.php over and over again, substituting, starting from scratch etc ... Could someone maybe give me some hint on how to proceed? I don't know if the problem is with dovecot or ingo or the underlying php/perl/something-stuff ... I currently use these releases: dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.8 dovecot-1.2-managesieve-0.11.7 dovecot-1.2.1 The server is some older Suse 10.1 ... php5-5.1.2-29.45, apache2-2.2.0-21.7, Horde Groupware Webmail Edition 1.2 # pear5 list Installed packages, channel pear.php.net: ========================================= Package Version State Archive_Tar 1.3.1 stable Console_Getopt 1.2 stable DB 1.7.12 stable Date 1.4.7 stable Log 1.9.11 stable Mail 1.1.14 stable Net_Sieve 1.1.6 stable Net_Socket 1.0.9 stable PEAR 1.4.6 stable XML_RPC 1.5.1 stable I would appreciate any input on this as this issue now already is unsolved for weeks now. And as always that is one of the features the customer wants first ;-) Aside from this dovecot is working great here, thanks ! Stefan

Hi all, ok, can someone tell me which header fields that the "Sender" function in sieve looks at ??? I've created a sieve rule to move a mail to a directory that looks like this : # rule:[File Message] if anyof (address :contains "Sender" "Dude") { fileinto "TestFolder"; } And the emails headers look like this : Received: (qmail 5811 invoked by uid 100); 28 Jul 2009 22:33:56 -0000 X-Sieve: Dovecot Sieve 0.1.9 Delivered-To: xxxxxx-xxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com Received: (qmail 5581 invoked from network); 28 Jul 2009 22:33:53 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO mx1.securemailscan.com) (209.132.1.198) by mda1.scaledsystems.com with SMTP; 28 Jul 2009 22:33:53 -0000 X-Envelope-From: xxxxx(a)yahoo.com X-Envelope-To: xxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com Received: From web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com (66.163.179.170) by mx1.securemailscan.com (MAILFOUNDRY) id uh1v8HvGEd6coQAw for xxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com; Tue, 28 Jul 2009 22:33:52 -0000 (GMT) Received: (qmail 76116 invoked by uid 60001); 28 Jul 2009 22:33:52 -0000 DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=yahoo.com; s=s1024; t=1248820432; bh=bMaME6CgqoU7EGtJwkX2i9rjL4ONpP79bbfuft4bEok=; h=Message-ID:X-YMail-OSG:Received:X-RocketSRV:X-Mailer:Date:From:Reply-To:Subject:To:MIME-Version:Content-Type; b=as+pQdsUMeD/yiXAxceO3lYtDm/vCgjqDH1AS1OsfMfQITJV7YMRJSqBst1m4mHIgC0xyShetRIo6o3FEeLxDDOHYKUhy3V31MrS+0d7B+us4Nrjft7OZu3zVPIS87fDWoF6hM9dc9eVXTu4Kuj0a1bul0XwKIRwXqn+AfXepYg= DomainKey-Signature:a=rsa-sha1; q=dns; c=nofws; s=s1024; d=yahoo.com; h=Message-ID:X-YMail-OSG:Received:X-RocketSRV:X-Mailer:Date:From:Reply-To:Subject:To:MIME-Version:Content-Type; b=kHyfgMDzLWxu70JYhQk6KYifrtYSi7jV4T7UqqQ6XfSN+WZeTRlZ4fK6R+nb1ykwTjmp2pROJAPYgHooRPs3MaYMtx54f0+7IL8HjP0c2wqiYIy++6pFzc+mk8j+72OJMBcxMhDTPtV/i52Uu0bDEl5+DbU6QXrQhYbak6BdzLM=; Message-ID: <213398.63258.qm(a)web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com> X-YMail-OSG: nmd_HZwVM1lT6TNyXWr2RcbN36VCejKyF4bZMN8urulX03szfpVuJD36F652_focw.1y1PwSPvcfGlWkoBsq5kEb9H_R.HWV.kcpvFe1pZGC4oWcj6Cc4uO737j.52s0kwXmru.WZEdJi..tsbkjg.8f3y_Lc4wJRFORqhFHjMoKG17xhVM8_z1olhpu_FtyrOVvTuoqaapAk3ioUOGTyEYp52oHRPQAx9TuiKojStPmtmq0AkGjDMybhQeciqJSvFJcrF6KqdL5wEjBX4G1bGGXGD61RYzUaJNGMX8FQ.tJqPEKSI1vlBU- Received: from [76.176.154.181] by web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com via HTTP; Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:33:52 PDT X-RocketSRV: showStationery=1248820330364@dclient.mail.yahoo.com,1248820330363@dclient.mail.yahoo.com,1248820330362@dclient.mail.yahoo.com X-Mailer: YahooMailRC/1358.22 YahooMailWebService/0.7.289.15 Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:33:52 -0700 (PDT) From: Dude Crush <xxxxxxx(a)yahoo.com> Reply-To: Dude Crush <xxxxxxx(a)yahoo.com> Subject: test from dude 2 To: xxxxxxxx(a)xxxxxxxx.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="0-948431439-1248820432=:63258" But when the mail is delivered, it goes into the INBOX, and the dovecot message in the log file looks like this : Jul 28 15:33:56 deliver(xxxxxxx(a)xxxxxx.com): Info: sieve: msgid=<213398.63258.qm(a)web35801.mail.mud.yahoo.com>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' So, I'm a little bi stumped as to why it wouldn't pick up "Dude" in any of the sender addresses...

[Dovecot] Expunged emails getting automatically deleted

Hello, So i had this email in my inbox, i moved it to Folder1/tickets/ folder, then i decided to move the same email back to my inbox and when i went to the inbox it wasnt there nor in Folder1/tickets/ folder... I opened a SSH session to the mail server and went to /srv/mail/ vmail/DOMAIN.COM/rventura/Maildir There i did "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur" and it showed me 300+ emails i then did "cat expunged/.INBOX/cur/the email i needed" and it showed me the email contents and since it was the one i needed i then try to do "mv expunged/.INBOX/cur/email-id" and it returned: mv: cannot stat `expunged/.INBOX/cur/ 1248796845.M207411P29102.housigma20,W=6193:2,STab': No such file or directory I do another "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur/" returns total 0.....

[Dovecot] Cannot get plaintext auth working on IMAP or POP
by crunchbytes 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Server: Ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition Dovecot 1.1.11 Issue: I have set dovecot.conf with: disable_plaintext_auth = no but everytime I have a client (Windows Live Mail, ubuntu evolution) connect from the Internet, I have the following type of message: Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections. in my mail.log, I have: Jul 28 15:09:43 "name" dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use disabled plaintext auth): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x Unfortunately I need plaintext auth IMAP. If I VPN in and use IMAPS, it works a treat - but I can't always do this, hence needing plain old IMAP. Any ideas anyone? What am I missing?

[Dovecot] namespaces / list=no crash
by Jernej Porenta 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hey everyone, I am trying to migrate old UW-IMAP setup to dovecot 1.2.2 using namespaces as recommended for UW-IMAP backwards compatibility: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces I am trying to use these settings: mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=~/.mailbox # default namespace namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } # for backwards compatibility: namespace private { separator = / prefix = mail/ hidden = yes list = no # for v1.1+ subscriptions = no } With upper settings, dovecot crashes upon login. (GDB trace is here: http://www2.arnes.si/~krklubsls13/dovecot-gdb.txt) If I change "list = no" to list = yes|children, everything is working fine. This settings were working fine with dovecot 1.1, so I don't know what is the deal... dovecot -n : http://www2.arnes.si/~krklubsls13/dovecot-conf.txt thanks in advance, regards Jernej

It compiles binaries for system from sources using ebuilds. I attach full compile log, can you tell me where stripping appear? There's no -g parameter given to gcc. The emerge overrides CFLAGS by adding -march=i686 etc. stuff in there, which also removes -g parameter. Try to figure out some way to add it back.

[Dovecot] Dovecot broken with newer OpenSSL
by Brad 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

After updating my system from OpenSSL 0.9.8j to 0.9.8k Dovecot has stopped functioning properly with TLS sessions. The version of Dovecot does not seem to matter as I tried 1.1.11 - 1.1.14. Other programs using SSL/TLS such as Postfix and lightty still work fine when built with the newer release of OpenSSL. The IMAP client doesn't matter. For the time being I have gone back to .13 linked against older OpenSSL. In the logs I see messages like the following... dovecot: Apr 16 23:12:18 Info: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=2001:470:b01e:3:216:41ff:fe17:6933, lip=2001:470:1d:8c::2, TLS handshaking: Disconnected -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.2
by Guy 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hi, I've just tried upgrading from 1.1.8 to 1.2.2. As soon as the new version was started up the number of imap/pop3 processes began to climb to 800+, where I normally have about 300 or so connections at any given time. The load on the server also climbed to 150+. I've reverted back to 1.1.18, which is running just fine, but is there anything I can do to help trace what was causing the problem? Unfortunately I don't have a clue where to start. Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] folder in dovecot
by Diego Roversi 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, I'm quite new to dovecot, and I have some questions about folders. At the moment I've a script that use fetchmail + procmail to get mail from the isp, and save the mail in different folder. The idea is to save mail from different mailing list in different folder. Now I've installed dovecot so i can read mail from different computers, and i want to export all the folders. I start with a simple configuration: root@debian:/home/diego# dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.30-rc8 armv5tel Ubuntu 9.04 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Mail/inbox mail_debug: yes namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:~/Mail/inbox inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: openmoko/ location: maildir:~/Mail/openmoko list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/passwd.dovecot userdb: driver: passwd I use icedove (thunderbird) to connect to the dovecot server and I see the two folder. But openmoko one looks empty, even if there are more then 10k messages. Without namespaces and setting mail_location pointing to the openmoko folder works, i see the messages of openmoko folder as inbox in icedove. What's wrong? Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance, Diego Roversi.

[Dovecot] v1.1.18 released

27 Jul '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.18.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.18.tar.gz.sig A few more fixes to v1.1 series. It probably won't have many released left. + dovecot -n/-a now outputs also lda settings. - Maildir++ quota: Quota was sometimes updated wrong when it was being recalculated. - Searching quoted-printable message body internally converted "_" characters to spaces and didn't match search keys with "_". - Messages in year's first/last day may have had broken timezones with OSes not having struct tm->tm_gmtoff (e.g. Solaris).

[Dovecot] Funky quota things
by Guy 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi guys, I already use Dovecot for imap/pop3 with some simple quota options. I'm starting to look at the switch from maildrop to dovecot lda and I'm wondering whether it's possible to do our unusual quota management with the quota plugin. We have the users total quota in MySQL along with a number of grace days (counts up to 7). The amount of space used is stored in maildirsize in the users maildir. What we currently some bits of voodoo which allow the user to go up to 200% of their quota. When they go over 100% they start receiving warnings and their grace days start counting down. If the account is still using over 100% of quota after the 7 days then the 100% quota is enforced so no new mail will be accepted. So is something like this "burst" quota possible in the Dovecot plugin? Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] Sylpheed-claws and virtual mailboxes
by Thomas Berker 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi! Has someone encountered the following problem? What am I doing wrong or does someone know a workaround? Dovecot 1.2.1 on Debian unstable, two namespaces: namespace private { prefix = location = maildir:~/res/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs inbox = yes list = yes } namespace private { prefix = gtd/ separator = / list = yes location = virtual:~/res/Maildir/gtd:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=~/res/Maildir/gtd } The problem: cur, tmp, new maildir folders get created within the folder gtd when it is opened by Sylpheed-claws (3.7.1). Subfolders in gtd holding the dovecot-virtual files are not recognised as mail folders at all, they show up but do nothing. Other clients (I have tested thunderbird, evolution) work as expected: they show the folder gtd and the sub-folders perform searches. Thanks in advance, tb

[Dovecot] Problems with ioloop on MacOS
by David Abrahams 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

I've been using the macports version of dovecot, which is 1.1.11, on MacOS 10.5.6 $ /opt/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap Fatal: kevent(EV_ADD, 0) failed: Operation not supported This version is configured --with-ioloop=kqueue The problem seems to be known, if not understood: http://lists.apple.com/archives/Darwin-userlevel/2008/Dec/msg00010.html However, if I use --with-ioloop=poll, I eventually get IMAP(dave): [9079]: invalid I/O fd 0, callback 0x9330 (not from the above command; it's a little later when Gnus tries to interact with dovecot through the shell) I've been unable to build/install any later versions of dovecot on MacOS. autogen.sh fails like this: ... glibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'. glibtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh' glibtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.in and glibtoolize: rerunning glibtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree. glibtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am. configure.in:281: installing `./config.guess' configure.in:282: required file `./config.rpath' not found configure.in:281: installing `./config.sub' configure.in:5: installing `./install-sh' configure.in:5: installing `./missing' src/auth/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp' autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

[Dovecot] [BUG] Incorrect maildir quota value after maildirsize creation
by Adam Osuchowski 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

I found a problem with maildir++ quota. When dovecot creates maildirsize file, it counts quota wrong. This is, how I reproduce a situation on version 1.2.0: First, I remove maildirsize file: # cd /var/mail/test # rm -f maildirsize # ls -la total 32 drwx--S--- 5 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:45 . drwxrwsr-x 3 root mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:39 .. drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 20:45 cur -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 491 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8536 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 284 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot.index.log drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 00:58 new drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 00:58 tmp I have 8 emails which take 14183471 bytes together: # find cur new -type f | wc -l 8 # find cur new -type f -printf '%s\n' | awk 'END { print a } { a += $0 }' 14183471 Now, I connect to dovecot via POP3 and delete exactly _one_ email which takes 969 bytes. After that, maildirsize file has been created: # ls -la total 48 drwx--S--- 5 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:50 . drwxrwsr-x 3 root mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:39 .. drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:50 cur -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 491 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidlist -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8 Jul 12 20:45 dovecot-uidvalidity -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 8536 Jul 12 20:50 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 532 Jul 12 20:50 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 mbox mbox 28 Jul 12 20:50 maildirsize drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 00:58 new drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 00:58 tmp # cat maildirsize 5242880S 14182502 7 -969 -1 So, maildirsize says, that there should be 7-1=6 emails which should take 14182502-969=14181533 bytes together. In fact, there are 7 emails (I delete only one of eight emails) which take 14182502 bytes together (deleted email taked 969 bytes): # find cur new -type f | wc -l 7 # find cur new -type f -printf '%s\n' | awk 'END { print a } { a += $0 }' 14182502 I figured, that dovecot after physically file removal, calls function maildir_quota_update(), which calls maildirquota_refresh() first (which in turn recalculate quota with new values), and then calls maildirsize_update(), which additionally and incorrectly decreases quota value. Regards, Adam.

[Dovecot] [PATCH] include parameters can handle globbing
by Thomas GUTHMANN 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hey guys, This patch will allow you to include different configuration files in the main dovecot.conf by using globbing [1] (like Apache for instance). !include = conf.d/*.conf !include_try = /etc/dovecot/extra* So with this you can split the dovecot.conf in different smaller configuration files. It's more the debian way to do that. But it's very handy if you have to generate dynamically parts of dovecot.conf based on a centralized main configuration (imagine you have 10 servers and you want to change the default quota for instance, do a script which update that based on the data contained in SQL/LDAP/XML/whatever). I designed this for my personal use with dovecot 1.2.1. It does the job. But I warn you :) My code may hurt your eyes. If so either close them or improve/fix my code or ... "Hare Krishna" [2] :) The include features has been done and almost kept hidden by Timo :) I've just add the globbing feature to !include and !include_try. The patch will modify - src/lib-settings/settings.c - dovecot-example.conf $ cd dovecot-1.2.1 $ patch -p1 < includepatch.diff It has been test with GNU/Linux Debian dunno if it compiles on FreeBSD/AIX/MacOSX but everything is POSIX compliant so... it should :) Cheers, Thomas [1]: Thanks Aria for the tip about the glob() function. It's cleaner. [2]: Rumor has it that Hare Krishna means hire a consultant in Hindi.

[Dovecot] Newbie: unable to access mailbox more than once
by Matt Petoe 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, I'm using dovecot as a mail relay so that I can back up my providers IMAP mail locally. I'm impressed how easy this was to set up, but I'm having a quirk that I would like help with, if possible. There are many weak links in my set-up chain, if you will, but I think I've narrowed the problem. I'll describe my set-up anyway. I'm running dovecot 1.1.4 on ubuntu 8.10. I have a shared NAS drive running a NFS server. I have chosen to store the .indexes and .control directories on the NAS also, since I want a set-up that will remain backed up and easily replicated if I (accidentally) erase the ubuntu install in the future. I'm using imapsync to copy messages from my email provider. It works once only, and subsequent attempts seem to hang when accessing any local dovecot mailbox folders that were changed last time. I have succeeded in using Thunderbird to access the dovecot mailboxes once. I know the paths are being found, because I can 'list' mailboxes when I telnet locally: b list "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "indexes" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "control" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Junk" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Trash-1000" b OK List completed. However, a 'select' command will only work for empty folders (such as .Trash). If I try to select a full folder such as ".Sent" then the process just hangs. The logs don't mention anything interesting, even though I have enabled debug_on and auth_debug. However, I attached a trace to the 'imap' process and got something interesting. I think maybe the lock process is failing for some reason? Here's a snip of the failure when selecting the .Sent folder: 12:00:21.190011 gettimeofday({1248141621, 190099}, NULL) = 0 12:00:21.190503 read(0, "f select Sent\r\n", 4034) = 15 12:00:21.190906 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.Sent/tmp", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 12:00:21.241561 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 12:00:21.248325 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.Sent/dovecot-shared", 0xbf86c6c8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 12:00:21.248847 time(NULL) = 1248141621 12:00:21.249060 open("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index.log", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 7 12:00:21.286953 fstat64(7, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26472, ...}) = 0 12:00:21.287423 pread64(7, "\1\0\30\0\264:dJ\4\0\0\0\3\0\0\0\\\200\0\0\374?dJ", 24, 0) = 24 12:00:21.287696 stat64("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index.log.2", 0xbf86c5ac) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 12:00:21.288070 open("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index.log.2", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 12:00:21.288614 open("/mnt/Mail/.indexes/.Sent/dovecot.index", O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE) = 9 12:00:21.296814 alarm(60) = 0 12:00:21.297181 fcntl64(9, F_SETLKW64, {type=F_RDLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0} I have set the locks to dotlock_try followed by fcntl.

[Dovecot] lazy expunge - how to unset deleted imap flag
by Colo Colo 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hello, I am using dovecot 1.1.13 in debian lenny with exim4 and I have Outlook 2007 clients. I have configured lazy expunge plugin. User marks messages in INBOX for deletion then click "delete messages from server" then the messages are moved to .EXPUNGED folder which is correct but they are still marked with IMAP deleted flag which is bad cause when user marks another messages in INBOX for deletion and click again on "delete messages from server" the messages which were in .EXPUNGE are gone forever. Is there any possibility to change this behavior i.e. instead from: move messages tagged for deletion to .EXPUNGE folder to: move messages tagged for deletion to .EXPUNGE folder and UNSET deleted flag ? Thanx

Hi, I'm new to Dovecot 1.2 and I'd like to replace uw-imap. I'd like to have the following setup: - Personal mailboxes using maildir for all users (no problem) - Public mailboxes for certain people who are in special groups from /etc/group localed in /var/spool/public as a maildir with subfolders for each group (which should only be visible for that group and also secured by filesystem group permissions). At best those folders should be visible for the users below "shared"-folder or parallel to the inbox. The public mailboxes should be secured by custom ACLs (so that not all ppl. can create new folders and so on). How can I make Dovecot authenticate against pam and use groups in /etc/group? When I activate the ACL plugin all public or shared mailboxes are hidden. How can I avoid this for the public mailboxes? Thanks in advance. Sven

[Dovecot] Search fails on underscores in quoted-printable
by Andreas M. Kirchwitz 27 Jul '09

27 Jul '09

Hi folks, currently I'm running Dovecot 1.2.1. Compiled from source on Fedora 10 Linux 32 Bit (all patches). Clients are Pine 4.64, Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 and Mutt 1.5.20 (using "=b" for server-side searching). When a message contains the text "under_score" and I let the server search for it, Dovecot does not find it in messages with a Content-Transfer-Encoding of "quoted-printable". It works perfectly well with messages without Content-Transfer-Encoding. If I replace the underscore with a space (search for "under score"), it magically matches on "under_score" (no space but underscore). Looks like something goes wrong with the encoding/decoding of quoted-printable (sorry, haven't tried with base64). Example: Dovecot does not find "under_score" | Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 02:08:45 +0200 | From: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | To: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | MIME-Version: 1.0 | Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 | Content-Disposition: inline | Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable | | test for under_score and dovecot search (=E4=F6=FC=DF) Example: Dovecot find's "under_score" without problems | Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2009 02:10:26 +0200 | From: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | To: "Andreas M. Kirchwitz" <amk(a)krell.zikzak.de> | MIME-Version: 1.0 | Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii | Content-Disposition: inline | | test for under_score and dovecot search (1234) The problem is not new to Dovecot 1.2.1 but exists in the 1.1 series as well. Greetings, Andreas

[Dovecot] Handling of file "maildirsize"
by Frank Elsner 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hello, My "exim" is doing the deliveries, "dovecot" handles POP/IMAP. Exim Log shows: 2009-07-24 14:03:40 1MUJUy-0001Jr-B0 == user(a)domain.tu-berlin.de R=maildir_user T=maildir_delivery defer (2): No such file or directory: while opening or reading /var/Mail/Boxes/u/user/maildirsize 2009-07-24 14:20:32 1MUJUy-0001Jr-B0 => user <user(a)domain.tu-berlin.de> F=<user(a)domain.tu-berlin.de> R=maildir_user T=maildir_delivery S=2061 QT=16m52s DT=0s The user was active using IMAP at 14:03:4*. Therefor there must be a short period of time where no maildirsize exists. Can this really happen? If yes, could this behaviour be changed? Kind regards, Frank Elsner

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2, quota and LDAP
by Stian Jordet 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hi! I'm in the progress of upgrading from Dovecot 1.0.15 to 1.2.1. This has gone pretty smooth. I just have one question to check wether I have understood the documentation right. I have both system users and virtual users. That's easy to do when using LDAP for userdb. The system users use filesystems quota, the virtual users use maildir quota. I achieved this using the following in LDAP: "fs:" (for system users, obviously) and "maildir:storage=2048000" for virtual users. This has worked fine for years. But after reading the documentation, it seems I now have to use two ldap-fields to achieve the same thing? One "quota" and one "quota_rule"? Is this correct? It's of course not impossible, but it's kinda a hassle to hand craft a new schema, deploy, and update all the user's entries. If my users didn't have two kind of quotas, it would be easy, but with two quota methods, I don't see any other way than to use two ldap-fields. Which I hope I don't have to :) Thanks. Regards, Stian

[Dovecot] configure performs checks for not needed sasl headers
by Pascal Volk 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

Hi, I'm always surprised when I see output from configure like checking for really_not_needed.h... no The configure script is always 'checking sasl.h usability' even when the --without-ldap option was specified. The attached patch checks the presence of sasl.h / sasl/sasl.h only when using the --with-ldap option && all required LDAP headers and libs are available.
