[Dovecot] About "Status" to the header
by ogu_yo＠yahoo.co.jp 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

hi list, I'd like to know about "Status" to the header on dovecot. I can see the "Status" to the header in /var/spool/mail/user if I check mail by using mutt, but I cannot see "Status" to the header if I check mail by using evolution, thunderbird etc. - /var/spool/mail/user -------------------------------------- To: test(a)test.example.com Subject: test Status: RO Content-Length: 0 Lines: 0 -------------------------------------- Then, there is a question. Which one is the reason of that cannot see "Status" to the header with evolution and thunderbird? - there isn't "Status" to the header - there is "Status" to the header, but just cannot see Thanks in advance. Regards, Yoko -------------------------------------- Power up the Internet with Yahoo! Toolbar. http://pr.mail.yahoo.co.jp/toolbar/

[Dovecot] dbox problem
by Xueron Nee 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi, I have just tested the dbox format mailbox, it works fine. But when I create dir through imap with `create` command, it only creates the dir onder ~/dbox/mailboxes, such as ~/dbox/mailboxes/newfolder. There was no `dbox-Mails` dir created. So the newfolder was 'noselect'. But the new folders created by `autocreate` plugin was correct. -- Xueron Nee http://www.xueron.com

[Dovecot] Indexing of mails to speed up the IMAP SEARCH command
by Tassilo Horn 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi all, I use a local dovecot server which is synchronized with my two imap accounts using OfflineIMAP. This works very nice and is highly usable. But one thing I'd like to improve is the slow IMAP search. When I search for a string in the subjects of all messages in a mailbox using some mail client, dovecot seems to grep all the messages in there. Is there a way to let dovecot index more informations which are then used to speed up the SEARCH command? Bye, Tassilo

[Dovecot] Moving IMAP folders to NFS volume.
by Frank Bonnet 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hello Due to lack of disk space on local disks I need to move all our imap folders to a NFS volume ( NetAPP filer ) I have a question about Dovecot indexes , is it better to remove all of them before copying folders to the NFS volume and let Dovecot rebuild all indexes when users restart to access to their imap folders ? Thanks a lot.

[Dovecot] Upgrade from 0.99.x to 1.1.x
by Wolfram Schlich 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi! I want to upgrade a Dovecot installation from 0.99.14 to 1.1.15, so I had a look at the following wiki article: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading?action=show&redirect=UpgradingDovecot The article http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0 says something about .customflags -> dovecot-keywords and .subscriptions -> subscriptions change/conversion: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0#Subscriptions http://wiki.dovecot.org/Upgrading/1.0#Keywords Do I understand it correctly that when directly upgrading from 0.99 to 1.1, Dovecot does the subscriptions renaming but not the keywords renaming and conversion, but that when I manually rename all .customflags files to dovecot-keywords, it does the format conversion of that file automatically? Is there anything else what's important to note for such an upgrade? The system is using Maildir as the mailbox format and only local storage (no NFS etc.). -- Regards, Wolfram Schlich <wschlich(a)gentoo.org> Gentoo Linux * http://dev.gentoo.org/~wschlich/

[Dovecot] Multiple use of the same LDAP attribute
by Bernhard Schmidt 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hi, we've found a weird bug (?) in Dovecot 1.1.11. Since day and age we've been running dovecot for our student mailserver, getting the location of the mailbox from a LDAP directory. We allow login and LDA with both full mail address and an internal username, so the mailbox directory is based on a LDAP attribute user_attrs = xxxMailbox=mail=maildir:/home/mailstore/%U$/Maildir:INDEX=/home/mailstore/indexes/%1U$/%U$, uidNumber=vmail, gidNumber=vmail, xxxMailQuota=quota_rule2=*:storage=%$B this worked just fine until we introduced sieve, which made us realize we did not have the home directory set at all. The obvious and easy fix (we thought) was to set the home directory based on the xxxMailbox variable as well: user_attrs = xxxMailbox=mail=maildir:/home/mailstore/%U$/Maildir:INDEX=/home/mailstore/indexes/%1U$/%U$, uidNumber=vmail, gidNumber=vmail, xxxMailQuota=quota_rule2=*:storage=%$B, xxxMailbox=home=/home/mailstore/%U$ unfortunately, after this trivial change hell froze over, because suddenly the mail variable was not set at all anymore, and since we had set mail_location = maildir:/home/mailstore/%Uu/Maildir:INDEX=/home/mailstore/indexes/%1Un/%Un (based on username) it was suddenly delivered into the wrong folder (based on the supplied username, not on the LDAP attribute). Debug from after the change: Apr 8 13:53:39 lxmhs23 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(username(a)xxx.de): user search: base=<deleted> scope=onelevel filter=<deleted> fields=xxxMailbox,uidNumber,gidNumber,xxxMailQuota,xxxMailbox Apr 8 13:53:39 lxmhs23 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(username(a)xxx.de): result: xxxMailQuota(quota_rule2=*:storage=%$B)=*:storage=1073741824B xxxMailbox(home=/home/mailstore/%U$)=/home/mailstore/1636D8B1D7916DEA/ [...] Apr 8 13:53:39 lxmhs23 deliver(username(a)xxx.de): maildir: data=/home/mailstore/USERNAME@XXX.DE/Maildir:INDEX=/home/mailstore/indexes/U/USERNAME As you can see the mail variable wasn't set by LDAP at all. We did some more tests and found a workaround, when using another LDAP (mwnid) attribute that contains the same information it works just fine user_attrs = xxxMailbox=mail=maildir:/home/mailstore/%U$/Maildir:INDEX=/home/mailstore/indexes/%1U$/%U$, uidNumber=vmail, gidNumber=vmail, xxxMailQuota=quota_rule2=*:storage=%$B, mwnid=home=/home/mailstore/%U$ Apr 8 14:18:06 lxmhs23 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(username(a)xxx.de): user search: base=<deleted> scope=onelevel filter=<deleted> fields=xxxMailbox,uidNumber,gidNumber,xxxMailQuota,mwnid Apr 8 14:18:06 lxmhs23 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(username(a)xxx.de): result: xxxMailQuota(quota_rule2=*:storage=%$B)=*:storage=1073741824B xxxMailbox(mail=maildir:/home/mailstore/%U$/Maildir:INDEX=/home/mailstore/indexes/%1U$/%U$)=maildir:/home/mailstore/1636D8B1D7916DEA//Maildir:INDEX=/home/mailstore/indexes/1/1636D8B1D7916DEA/ mwnid(home=/home/mailstore/%U$)=/home/mailstore/1636D8B1D7916DEA Apr 8 14:18:06 lxmhs23 deliver(username(a)xxx.de): maildir: data=/home/mailstore/1636D8B1D7916DEA//Maildir:INDEX=/home/mailstore/indexes/1/1636D8B1D7916DEA/ So, it looks like there is an issue using the same LDAP attribute (xxxMailbox in this case) twice in variable expansion. Is this a known issue? Of course there are several viable workarounds (base mail location on home directory, use the second attribute), but this problem was pretty surprising. Bernhard

[Dovecot] Trying nonplaintext mech with LDAP password-hash
by dovecotlist＠encambio.com 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hello List, The only passdb block in /pfx/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf is: passdb ldap { args = /pfx/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf } In /pfx/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf: auth_bind = no dn = cn=mymgr,dc=host,dc=tld dnpass = ******** default_pass_scheme = LDAP-MD5 In /pfx/etc/openldap/slapd.conf: password-hash {MD5} If I try: $ /pfx/bin/ldapsearch <...> \ | grep '^userPassword' \ | sed -e 's;.*:: $.*$$;\1;' \ | mimencode -u ...I get the correct password (MD5 hashed.) According to wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP/PasswordLookups this should work, and indeed when starting dovecot it does not complain about: 'CRAM-MD5 mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs' Instead it starts right up, but when a thunderbird client connects and tries authenticating with CRAM-MD5 it fails. In the wiki page 'PasswordLookups' it mentions: Supports non-plaintext authentication mechanisms (if returning plaintext/properly hashed passwords). I've already verified that this works correctly with plaintext (CLEARTEXT in slapd.conf), but I really want to store the passwords in LDAP using some hash. Why doesn't LDAP-MD5 work as advertised? What did the author mean by 'properly hashed passwords'? Thanks. -- Eduard

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.1.11 failing to accept SSL/TLS connections
by Mike Brudenell 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Greetings - We are running Dovecot 1.1.11 on our servers and have been gradually migrating people off our old (UW-based) systems onto the new (Dovecot-based) ones. As a result the new systems are seeing more connections from more people. We have started seeing problems reported by users of our webmail service that they are getting an error indicating the webmail software (Prayer) has failed to establish an IMAP connection using TLS to Dovecot. Investigations show it is not just the webmail service that is affected but all mail clients: it's just other clients retry the connection, whereas Prayer fails the login and shows the error message: TLS/SSL failure for username.imap.york.ac.uk: SSL negotiation failed It seems to be related to one of Dovecot's imap-login processes getting a lot of file descriptors in use. We initially spawn off 10 imap-login processes and have each handling 256 connections. Full "dovecot -n" at the end of the message, but the relevant settings here are: login_process_size = 64 login_process_per_connection = no login_processes_count = 10 login_max_processes_count = 128 login_max_connections = 256 We have grown to suspect it is to do with one of the imap-login processes having a large number of files open. Killing the process seems to get rid of the problem. For example currently we have 11 imap-login processes running, one of which has 518 open files -- process 12436 in the list below. I suspect that, as in previous times we've encountered the problem, killing this process will alleviate the problem. (I'll be doing this later on this evening.) It is slightly odd that the imap-login processes have a very skewed distribution of open files, almost as if the algorithm for allocating connections to a process favours some over others. For example the current counts of open files are: Pid = Open files count 12430 = 42 26818 = 237 12431 = 90 12433 = 12 12438 = 304 12437 = 106 12435 = 190 12432 = 14 12436 = 518 12434 = 32 12429 = 12 Process 12436 was one of the 10 imap-login processes initially created back on March 3rd. (Process 26818 was the additional imap-login process spawned a little later on March 4th.) I don't believe the problem lies with the available file descriptors on the system: in the script which starts Dovecot I do date >/var/run/dovecot-limits ulimit -Sa >>/var/run/dovecot-limits echo "----------" >>/var/run/dovecot-limits ulimit -Ha >>/var/run/dovecot-limits ulimit -Sn 10128 echo "==========" >>/var/run/dovecot-limits ulimit -Sa >>/var/run/dovecot-limits echo "----------" >>/var/run/dovecot-limits ulimit -Ha >>/var/run/dovecot-limits $DOVECOT >>/var/run/dovecot-limits 2>&1 (The magic 10128 number came from Dovecot 1.1.11 itself, complaining that the number I had originally was too low.) Likewise the output of the pfiles command on process 12436 (which is the one I believe to be problematic) indicates its limit still has some available -- I'm guessing Dovecot has reduced the limit down to 533 from the 10128 set in the startup script: Current rlimit: 533 file descriptors We originally saw this problem with Dovecot 1.0.3 which we were running up until a couple of weeks ago. From there I upgraded first to 1.0.15 and then to 1.1.11. I'd hoped that upgrading would fix the problem: I see it has been mentioned before on the list, but not for a year or two. Can anyone give any help, please?

[Dovecot] Prohibit removing INBOX
by floss＠pbartels.info 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hello list, I'm using dovecot 1.1.11 and I'm going to prohibit users to remove their INBOX and some other directories in the mailbox root. I used Access Control Lists (http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL) to do this: protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl } plugin { # With global ACLs in /etc/dovecot/acls/ directory: acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls } /etc/dovecot/acls/.DEFAULT: owner lrwstie /etc/dovecot/acls/INBOX/.DEFAULT owner lrwstiekxa Actually - its not possible to create/remove directories under the mailbox root - its possible to create directories under INBOX - its NOT possible to remove directories under INBOX (This is my problem.) I tried symlinks like: /var/mail/.../INBOX/dovecot-acl -> /etc/dovecot/acls/INBOX/.DEFAULT /var/mail/.../dovecot-acl -> /etc/dovecot/acls/.DEFAULT But I think the symlink won't help because they doesn't change anything. And even with the symlinks its not possible to remove directories under IBOX. The documentation says: > If a mailbox has both global and per-mailbox ACL file, both of them > are read and the ACLs are merged. If there are any conflicts: > * v1.0 and v1.1: The per-mailbox ACL file overrides global ACL file. As far I can see it the documentation says nothing about merging ACLs of subdirs. But it seems the given behavior is not wanted by the dovecot design, because it seems it should be possible to override ACLs for subdirs, also give more permissions than the upper dirs. Is this a dovecot failure, do I miss something or is it really wanted by dovecot this way? My MUA (Evolution) says: > Cannot delete folder "INBOX/test". > Because "IMAP command failed: Permission denied". It unsubscribes the folder but it not able to remove it.

[Dovecot] Dovecot, LVS and the issues I have with it.
by neil 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

We run around 5 dovecot (debian etch 1.0.rc15) POP/IMAP 'nodes' using the LVS load balancer and an NFS based SAN. it works pretty well. I love the robustness of load balancing POP/IMAP. We do a reasonable amount of throughput through these especially at peak times pushing our SAN to around 1.5k IOP/s We currently have two issues with this setup. One of which is NFS index corruption issues we get due to NFS/dovecot locking. Basically the UUID list or a .index gets corrupt. This causes a full re-indexing of the mailbox / broken mailbox until i delete the indexes. In the UUID lists case the symptom tends to effect use who use POP rather than IMAP and insist on keeping messages on the server. Because it's corrupt it gets rebuilt one way or the other and the users email client proceeds to redownload the entire mailbox again until he remarks them to be saved. This tends to annoy the user a lot. After a bit of testing we do however expect this to be fixed by version 1.1. However if anyone has any comments on this I would certainly be interested. The other issue is a little tricky to describe or even log effectively. Occasionally a node basically receives more connections than it is able to handle. The connection count goes through the roof for that node. It will go up way beyond 150 dovecot authentication threads and 100 or so active POP/IMAP dovecot threads. The IO_wait/cpu and memory usage also tends to be spiking at this point. The server gets to the tipping point where it can no longer serve it's POP/IMAP requests fast enough compared to the number of connections it's getting. I'd be fine with this but this creates some less than desirable symptoms: 1. We obviously reach the auth thread cap eventually so any new auth requests basically get refused by the server. To the user this is a seen as an outlook/mail client re-auth pop-up request. This annoys them. Ideally if the server stops accepting auth requests it should fall off our load balancer until it can consistently accept them again. Since the LVS detects a node fail by whether the tcp port is still open this doesn't happen, since dovecot keeps the port open. This is obviously more an LVS issue and not for this mailing list I expect unless anyone has any config tweaking tips here? 2. Now here's my real gripe. Dovecot does not handle running out resources very gracefully at all in our setup. It does start killing threads after a while. I get multiple *"dovecot: child 17989 (login) killed with signal 9". *I'm not exactly sure what's going on here because after this all I can see is the machine totally out of memory and the kernel starts killing absolutely everything. All services are killed (including ssh etc..) and I plug a monitor into the server and find the last few lines of the console listing init and other rather important things having just been killed. At this point it is a case of power cycling the server and all is back to normal again. I imagine there's not a huge amount of people using dovecot in this way. But anyone got any recommendations here? I really like using dovecot in this setup it handles it pretty well and the redundancy and functionality options it provides have been invaluable. Neil

[Dovecot] Global Sieve File
by James Butler 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Is anyone here using a global Sieve file that handles messages for an entire server with many users? I understand and use local Sieve files, but I would like to learn more about how to set up Sieve to filter ALL incoming messages using a single file. I would love to read about how you managed to get it working. I'm running Fedora 10 with Postfix 2.5.5 and Dovecot 1.2.rc2. Thanks for any insight! James

[Dovecot] Compiling v1.3 on different OSes
by Timo Sirainen 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I was hoping to finally get shared libdovecot.so and libdovecot-storage.so libraries for v1.3, so Sieve (and maybe others) could link against them. But I'm running into trouble getting it to compile in Solaris 10. Could you non-Linux users test if this compiles with you? http://dovecot.org/tmp/dovecot-1.3.UNSTABLE.tar.gz Or if anyone has ideas why this happens, I'd like to know: libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/home/cras/include -o .libs/rawlog rawlog.o ../lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so -lrt -lsocket -lsendfile -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/local/lib/dovecot ../lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so: undefined reference to `dlerror(a)SUNW_1.22' ../lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so: undefined reference to `dlopen(a)SUNW_1.22' ../lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so: undefined reference to `dlsym(a)SUNW_1.22' ../lib-dovecot/.libs/libdovecot.so: undefined reference to `dlclose(a)SUNW_1.22' If I disable plugins (so dl*() functions aren't used) it compiles, so it's only those functions that are problematic. pvs -s /lib/libc.so lists the dl* functions under SUNW_1.22 so I'd think that should have worked..

[Dovecot] v1.3 plugin locations
by Timo Sirainen 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

It's getting more and more annoying to have separate plugin directories for lda, pop3 and imap. Currently all the plugins are installed into $lib/dovecot/ and then symlinked to the lda, pop3, imap directories. The original reason was that v0.99 just loaded everything in those directories since there was no mail_plugins setting. But then there are things like expire-tool and convert-tool (and the upcoming doveadm) that don't load plugins at all, even though they probably should. Adding just more directories to them seems to be pointless. Also SQL plugins are shared by dovecot-auth and dict and those would need symlinking.. And in future you might want to load SQL plugins to e.g. imap process. So, I was planning on just putting everything into $lib/dovecot/. expire-tool etc. would use mail_plugins setting that wasn't inside protocol {}. So for example: mail_plugins = quota protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { # defaults to mail_plugins=quota above, no need to set it explicitly } That leaves auth and dict.. I was considering adding new auth_plugins and dict_plugins settings, but that might make it more difficult to start using distro-compiled Dovecot where sql, ldap, etc. are in plugins. So perhaps the auth/ and dict/ directories can stay and contain symlinks. But the $lib/dovecot/sql/ directory could go away and the sql plugins be stored just in $lib/dovecot/ among everything else. Any thoughts?

[Dovecot] Compile and configure Solr plugin
by Rui Carneiro 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi all, I'm having some kind of troubles on Solr's integration. I configured Dovecot with the Solr argument (--with-solr) and everything proceeded just fine. But, when I started Dovecot I got this error: Plugin fts_solr not found from directory /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/imap Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf In fact, there is no Solr plugin in that directory. So I tried to make a symbolic link from where the compiled Solr plugin was to this directory: ln -s /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib21_fts_solr_plugin.so And now I have the following error: dlopen(/usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/imap/lib21_fts_solr_plugin.so) failed: /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/imap/lib21_fts_solr_plugin.so: undefined symbol: mailbox_get_virtual_box_patterns Couldn't load required plugins Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf I'm missing some steps in this installation for sure, do anyone have any clue?

[Dovecot] Modified websieve for use with dovecot
by Wolfgang.Friebel＠desy.de 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

In order to let users construct a sieve filter using a GUI I have taken websieve.pl from Alain Turbide (for use with Cyrus) and modified it to work with dovecot. In order to get it working quickly I have removed all the code I did not need (e.g. ldap support, password authentication) and coded Kerberos5 auth (via GSSAPI or SASL) in. I understand that this makes the work mostly useless to others. As however the dovecot adaptations were done by removing internally used perl packages by ones on CPAN such as Mail::IMAPClient and Net::Managesieve that part of the code should be of a broader interest. If someone is interested to have a look or even wants to help make it again a more universal tool I have put the code on ftp://ftp-zeuthen.desy.de/pub/unix/mail/websieve.pl Current status: I have tested the creation and modification of sieve rules, inspecting and setting ACL's (dovecot 1.2), displaying quota and creating folders. All the other code (e.g. the part that deals with an administrative user) is untested and probably not compatible yet with the new perl modules used. -- Wolfgang Friebel Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Phone/Fax: +49 33762 77372/216 Platanenallee 6 Mail: Wolfgang.Friebel AT desy.de D-15738 Zeuthen Germany

[Dovecot] Script to install dovecot 1.2 plus Managerootsieve to CentOS5.2
by Bruce A. Mallett 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

I have no idea if this is of interest to anyone but it might save you some work .. I created a script that will install Dovecot 1.2-rc2 (currently) to a CentOS5.2 installation complete with Stephan Bosch's Managesieve, postfix, virtual users, LDAP, and LDAP personal address books. Oh right! .. and Squirrelmail plus various plugins (change LDAP password, LDIF import, Avelsieve). Also self-signed certificates are created from data supplied in a configuration file. I've stuck the required files here: http://www.nightstorm.com/~bam/CentOS5.2/ I did an install to a 32 bit CentOS so it has worked at least once on that architecture. It *should* work on a 64 bit as well (I provide the RPM) but I've not personally tested it. I am by no means an expert on any of this stuff (particularly the security aspects), so I'd certainly welcome any suggestions for ways to improve on the installation, the script, life, the universe, ... ;-) - Bruce

[Dovecot] Implementation of editheaders in dovecot
by Konstantin Lepa 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hello. I wrote the hook function for deliver. I want to add support of editheaders in the plug-in for dovecot. For this purpose I wrote the function rarules_get_stream. Remover of headrs works properly, but adding does not work. I took Timo Sirainen's advice from http://markmail.org/message/skb6arnll5gaopdr . Do I use a correct way of creation of a message? I give backtrace and a part of my code.

[Dovecot] is it possible to recover files from a dovecot.inboxe.cache file?
by Alfred Nutile 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

I found this file in the mail boz and noticed it had 20 emails in it (though you can only read really the header the body is cryptic cause it is a bin file?) Just not sure if I can and how to use this to restore the lost emails in that inbox. Thanks

[Dovecot] Segfault in Sieve 1.2
by Bernhard Schmidt 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hello, two days ago I've upgraded to 1.2rc2 and the new sieve implementation (version 0.1.4). Today I got the first mail that got stuck in the postfix queue because deliver was dying with a segfault. The mail is spam, thus I don't have any issues sharing it: http://users.birkenwald.de/~berni/temp/deliver-segfault.mail It happens with this small sieve script (my normal one is larger, but this is the part that triggers the segfault): http://users.birkenwald.de/~berni/temp/deliver-segfault.sieve Note that I've been running this script unaltered for months, first with Dovecot 1.1 and CMUSieve and now with various versions of Dovecot 1.2 and the new sieve implementation for about three weeks, this is the first mail that got stuck. I got a coredump, but without debugging symbols it doesn't tell that much. If you can't reproduce it I'll compile it with debugging symbols and try again.

[Dovecot] THREAD X-REFERENCES2 index bug?
by Nathan Kinkade 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Hi all, $ sudo dovecot --version 1.2.beta3 I just started using Dovecot a few weeks ago, and my client is also using the X-REFERENCES2 thread algorithm. The client is misbehaving when trying to list messages in my INBOX, but only when a threaded message exists. I have tracked it down to the thread index that Dovecot is returning, but the problem is only extant when using the X-REFERENCES2 thread algorithm. Here is a snippet of transcript from imap client that comes with Dovecot: $ export MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=~/Maildir/INBOX $ /usr/lib/dovecot/imap <snip> 1 SELECT "INBOX" <snip> 2 THREAD X-REFERENCES2 UTF-8 ALL * THREAD (0)(2)(1 3)(4) 2 OK Thread completed. There are, in fact, only 4 messages in my INBOX, and the reference to (0) seems spurious. When I do the same test, but passing REFERENCES instead of X-REFERENCES2 Dovecot returns an index which I believe to be correct: <snip> 2 THREAD REFERENCES UTF-8 ALL * THREAD (1 3)(2)(4) 2 OK Thread completed. <snip> Is this the normal and expected behavior of X-REFERENCES2 that the client just needs to take into account, or is the reference to thread index (0) an error? Thanks! Nathan

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/rc/dovecot-1.2.rc1.tar.gz.sig I think it's time to get v1.2.0 out soon. Shared mailbox code is beginning to look like it's working and other features should work fine also. I don't really see any reasons to delay it, so please start testing and let's get the last bugs found and fixed quickly. I'm also going to start v1.3 branch soon with configuration rewrite and multi-dbox support. Changes since beta4: * Renamed THREAD X-REFERENCES2 to THREAD REFS (from INTHREAD draft) + When a process is killed, show the signal code and the sending process's pid and uid. + quota-fs: Added support for NFS group quota. - Several fixes to shared mailboxes and ACLs - Removed umask setting. We're nowadays creating practically all files with proper umasks. - acl: Dropped default ACL cache timeout from 5 minutes to 30 seconds. - fts-solr fixes - virtual mailbox fixes - Write to main index file less often.

[Dovecot] Missing mail_max_userip_connections setting
by Thomas M Goerger 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hi, I'm having a problem with a webmail client trying to open multiple IMAP connections with dovecot, and hitting a cap. I see from the error logs from this program that it's hitting the mail_max_userip_connections cap, but I'm not seeing this value as defined in the dovecot.conf file. Would this automatically get set to a certain value by default if it's not present? Thanks, ************************************************************************* * Tom Goerger - Email/Unix System Administrator * * * * University of Minnesota Email: tmg(a)umn.edu * * Operations, Infrastructure and Architecture Phone: 4-5804 * * Internet Services Office: 626J WBOB * * * *************************************************************************

[Dovecot] Maildir files with mtime in the future
by Holger Weiss 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

If Maildir storage is used, the mtime of a given Maildir file is set to the message's INTERNALDATE. Now, when a client APPENDs a message to an IMAP mailbox, the client may optionally specify the INTERNALDATE: | If a date-time is specified, the internal date SHOULD be set in the | resulting message; otherwise, the internal date of the resulting | message is set to the current date and time by default. [ ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/doc/rfc/rfc3501.txt (6.3.11. APPEND Command) ] However, if the client does so, Dovecot will set the mtime of the Maildir file in question to the date specified by the client even if it's in the future. Since files with an mtime in the future can cause all sorts of trouble (e.g., they might get backed up repeatedly by incremental backups), it would be nice if Dovecot would (optionally?) use the current time if the client specifies a time in the future. For example, we use the following patch: ---------- 8< ---------------------------------------- 8< ---------- diff --git a/src/imap/cmd-append.c b/src/imap/cmd-append.c index 0b22fd5..b7e42b9 100644 --- a/src/imap/cmd-append.c +++ b/src/imap/cmd-append.c @@ -319,6 +319,12 @@ static bool cmd_append_continue_parsing(struct client_command_context *cmd) return cmd_append_cancel(ctx, nonsync); } + if (internal_date != (time_t)-1 && internal_date > time(NULL)) { + /* the client specified a time in the future, set it to now. */ + internal_date = (time_t)-1; + timezone_offset = 0; + } + if (ctx->msg_size == 0) { /* no message data, abort */ client_send_tagline(cmd, "NO Can't save a zero byte message."); ---------- 8< ---------------------------------------- 8< ---------- Holger

[Dovecot] v 1.1.13 / GSSAPI / Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server
by Jahnke-Zumbusch, Dirk 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Dear all, I am trying to setup Dovecot with GSSAPI support. For testing purposes gssapi is the only method allowed for login. As I cannot login to my mailbox, I'vo got two questions about the following log entries: dovecot: Info: auth-worker(default): passwd-file /dovecot/store/db/test-userdb: Read 3 users dovecot: Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=3915 dovecot: Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 GSSAPI service=imap lip=131.169.*.* rip=131.169.*.* lport=143 rport=35779 dovecot: Info: auth(default): gssapi(?,131.169.40.218): Obtaining credentials for imap(a)my.host.name dovecot: Error: imap-login: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=3918, input bytes=0 1. I am puzzled about the credentials "imap(a)my.host.name" being obtained; shouldn't this be something like "imap/my.host.name(a)MY.REALM" ? 2. what does "Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server." mean? Who is trying to handshake with whom? Any ideas?

[Dovecot] Time moved backwards errors
by Bloke 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hello, I am experiencing a number of 'Time moved backwards errors' such as: Mar 27 11:38:20 host-78-129-239-60 dovecot: imap-login: Time just moved backwards by 729 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards Mar 27 15:20:10 host-78-129-239-60 dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 4214 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards Mar 29 11:08:59 host-78-129-239-60 dovecot: imap-login: Time just moved backwards by 4341 seconds. This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myself now. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards on my Centos 5.2 openvz - based VPS I have raised the issue with my VPS provider, who are responding that 'the jury is still out' as to whether this is a system, or Dovecot problem. Reading the TimeMovedBackwards article on the Dovecot wiki, and the kernel mailing list thread referred to on it, it would seem quite apparent that this is caused by a failure of the gettimeofday() function to reliably return the correct value. If anyone has any advice as to how I could proceed to fix this (I currently have a watch on the Dovecot service which restarts it after any failures) or how I should best phrase this to get it resolved 'upstream' by the VPS provider, I would be very grateful. Thank you, Patrick Vale

[Dovecot] dbox benchmarks
by Timo Sirainen 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-dbox-redesign/ Looks like multi-dbox scales pretty nicely. Even after 100k messages the peak saved msgs/sec is the same as the initial saved msgs/sec, even if the average slows down somewhat. I tested this by first deleting mailbox, then running "imaptest" for a second to get saving to start writing several fields to dovecot.index.cache file. Then ran imaptest for 60 seconds that did nothing but save messages using IMAP APPEND commands. The summary is that multi-dbox is almost 10x as fast as maildir when fsync is disabled and 2,5 faster with fsyncing: fsync_disable=yes: multi-dbox : ~1700 -> ~1500 msgs/sec, 90842 msgs/60 sec single-dbox: ~1700 -> ~1400 msgs/sec, 86149 msgs/60 sec maildir : ~330 -> ~110 msgs/sec, 9789 msgs/60 sec fsync_disable=no: multi-dbox : ~220 -> ~170 msgs/sec, 10113 msgs/60 sec maildir : ~100 -> ~70 msgs/sec, 4123 msgs/60 sec Also I just noticed that saving messages with two clients gets a peak of 2200 msgs/sec, most likely because two CPU cores can be used then. Hmm. I guess if there were no locking it should have reached 3400 msgs/sec, but it's better than no performance increase.

[Dovecot] An issue of I login my mail server from webmail client
by Alan Zheng 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Dear all: I have a really strange issue, that is when I login my mail server from webmail client (I used SquirrelMail, by the way, I have modified squirrelmail's timeout value, that means not since squirrelmail timeout), I will got timeout issue when I login about 5PM ~ 10PM everyday (it works fine on other time, I also check my cron, that looks no problem), and during this time, I also cannot connect my 993 port with openssl like this: openssl s_client -connect myDomainName:993 But when I use mail client (such as outlook) to access dovecot, that works fine, and during 5PM ~ 10PM, my web site also works fine, and once I restart computer if I can not login during 5PM ~ 10PM from webmail client. that will work fine. can you try to help me? below is my configure of dovecot. *dovecot -n # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/run/dovecot/maillog info_log_path: /var/run/dovecot/maillog protocols: imaps ssl_parameters_regenerate: 0 verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix plugin: convert_mail: mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u* -- Best Regards Alan Zheng
