[Dovecot] rc7 crashing under heavy load
by Jeff A. Earickson 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Help! Our students are back and they are pounding my dovecot server to death (ie "Login process died too early - shutting down" or "too many open files" type crash). I've had my third crash today. My setup: Solaris 10, imap and imaps, 3K users coming in via horde webmail. My current connection settings are: login_max_processes_count = 2048 login_max_connections = 4096 Q: Does raising these limits actually make my problem worse or better? Are there any other variables that I should change to prevent the "too many open files"? Suggestions? Jeff Earickson Colby College

[Dovecot] sent message not always saved in imap sent folder
by Ian Mortimer 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Users who have their sent folder on the imap server report that sometimes a sent message is saved locally instead of on the server. This is the error from evolution: Error while performing operation. Failed to append to whoever@imap.server:Sent: Server unexpectedly disconnected: Unknown error Appending to local `Sent' folder instead.. We're seeing this with more than one client: evolution (linux) and thunderbird (OS X). It only happens occasionally but often enough to be annoying. It could be because the user's Sent folders are in their home directories which are NFS mounted. Are there any dovecot settings which might help? Thanks -- Ian

[Dovecot] Lost email (inbox) TWICE
by Sezer Yalcin 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

I have been losing my inbox. It happened twice. (2 days ago and just half an hour ago) I am using RHEL 4.0 with dovecot-0.99.11-4.EL4 System uses sendmail + procmail, dovecot is up and running. Here is how it happened: I was using Mozilla Firefox with IMAP. At the same time, I logged in from Squirrel Webmail in IMAP to the same account. Squirrel mail did not show my inbox contents. And I turned back to Thunderbird and it said, ' an error has occurred and logged to system log' and INBOX WAS LOST! squirrelmail 1.4.6 and mozilla thunderbird version 1.5.0.7 I checked server log, I see I log in but there are no further logs. This happened 2 days ago, I was wondering what the hell happened. I did not have any issues before. However recently we had a hard drive crash and all home folders are restored from backups. I assume it can be related to this. My inbox and imap folders are all in mbox format. I believe dovecot could not write to log or had something unexpected which lead to loss of inbox. There were no configuration issues and all mail system including dovecot were working fine. Now it works fine as well, but I believe it will lose inbox folder again. Has anybody experienced this? Any suggestions to recover inbox? File was reset to 0 bytes (could be deleted as well), when i did 'stat' on file, there was a file with 1 new message, all were lost. Thank you. Sezer

[Dovecot] Using NFS - which OS would you chose
by Jonathan 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hi, I'm still looking at a large (under 100,000) user deployment of Dovecot, with a NetApp NFS server as the back-end storage. I've read a few remarks about needing the latest NFS patches from Trond Myklebust to prevent lock-ups. My management would be happiest with a vendor-supported distribution (and especially Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9 or 10). We will be running on an x86 platform. Under these circumstances, which operating system/distribution would you choose? And why? Suse SLES9 OpenSuse Debian RedHat FreeBSD Solaris_x86 Nexenta (www.nexenta.org) Many thanks for your thoughts/war stories. Jonathan.

[Dovecot] Cache fields
by Tony Kay 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

Hi, We are using Dovecot with maildir, and the mail client requests flags, internaldate, and uid for all messages on folder open, which on average takes 3 seconds, but for large folders is much longer. It seems like I want mail_cache_fields to include "flags", but which date corresponds to internaldate? date.received? Is UID always cached for messages, or does it have to read through the directory to get them? Are there other optimizations I can do that will improve the speed of folder opens? -- Anthony Kay University Computing Center (541) 346-1719 GPG Fingerprint: B0DB D46A 60AF FAE7 A94A 5075 0CB4 4D88 9F4F 7F09 This isn't right.

[Dovecot] Date Received question
by Timothy Martin 09 Oct '06

09 Oct '06

I migrated from Courier to Dovecot, and today I notice that all my "date received" fields in my client (apple mail) show as the approx date/time of the migration rather than when the emails were received from the smtp server. Is this expected behavior? I normally sort by received date rather than sent -- since I don't care when someone sends something as much as when i get it. But those fields are totally bogus now. .tim

[Dovecot] Outlook "IMAP server closed connection"
by Mark Adams 08 Oct '06

08 Oct '06

Hi All, Dovecot 1.0rc2. Currently having a problem with Outlook clients popping up with the error; "Your IMAP server has closed the connection. This may occur if you have left the connection idle for to long" I initially though this would be the imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle option, but this is currently set and always has been. I dont think this is a known issue that has been fixed with newer releases, as we have rc2 on another server that does not have this problem. Any help thankfully recieved. Regards, Mark

[Dovecot] Add virtual users to the Dovecot configuration
by Jens E. Madsen Jr. 08 Oct '06

08 Oct '06

Dear Dovecot Mail List, I have used Dovecot for quite a while to service remote users on my SOHO network. A local not-for-profit asked about getting their own dedicated domain name for mail. I followed: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_postfix_virtual_hosting to set up a virtual, but the article leaves out system accounts and I have not been able to access both system and virtual users at the same time. I have the following lines: default_mail_env = maildir:/var/spool/vmail/%d/%n/ which, when commented out, works for system users default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u which, when commented out, which works for virtual users If both are uncommented, only system users work. Wiki-ing and Googling, I learned that namespace could be applied to the problem. Here is the namespace from the configuration file. #namespace private { # Hierarchy separator to use. You should use the same separator for all # namespaces or some clients get confused. '/' is usually a good one. # The default however depends on the underlying mail storage format. #separator = # Prefix required to access this namespace. This needs to be different for # all namespaces. For example "Public/". #prefix = # Physical location of the mailbox. This is in same format as # default_mail_env, which is also the default for it. #location = # There can be only one INBOX, and this setting defines which namespace # has it. #inbox = yes # If namespace is hidden, it's not advertised to clients via NAMESPACE # extension or shown in LIST replies. This is mostly useful when converting # from another server with different namespaces which you want to deprecate # but still keep working. For example you can create hidden namespaces with # prefixes "~/mail/", "~%u/mail/" and "mail/". #hidden = yes #} How do I specify which users use which namespace. Is there a good description of namespaces and how to use them? Thanks Jens

After fsck we could mount the HD and investigate the problem. Main problem was an error in the /etc/rc.conf.. The dovecot_enable was missing the quotes...

[Dovecot] dovecot mailbox to csv
by John Heim 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

We (the Math department at the U of Wisconsin) recently switched over from another server to dovecot One thing that a lot of people here do is set up an on-line form that sends them email. They use formmail for this. I have them edit their procmail config so that all the messages go into a particular mail folder.... So far so good. With our old system, all messages in a folder were kept in a single file. With dovecot, they go into a couple of different directories. This is problematic because we often need to convert the form field data to csv values so it can be imported into a spreadsheet. So a professor can create an on-line form and end up with the data from it in an Excell spreadsheet. Slick (when it works). I understand that I can make dovecot store messages in a file by leaving the trailing slash off when specifying the folder name. Sample procmail segment: :0: * Subject:.*\[feedback\] .feedback But I can't get the feedback folder to show up in the list of IMAP folders in my mail client. I've tried Outlook Express and Thunderbird. If I put the slash at the end, it creates a .feedback folder and then I can see it in my mail client. But then I can't export it to cvs. Anybody know why I can't see the .feeback folder? Or maybe somebody has a good way to get data from the body of messages stored in a dovecot folder, for example, .feedback/cur/ and .feedback/new/.

[Dovecot] bug with rsh/ssh connections
by David Lee 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

(Using rc7 code) There seems to be a bug in rsh/ssh-style connections. For reference, on a normal imap connection (port 143, 993, etc.) things are OK. The imap session ends (from a client-end command "a logout") thus: --- a logout * BYE Logging out a OK Logout completed. Connection closed by foreign host. unix-prompt% --- But when the connection had been established using rsh or ssh to the servers's "/etc/rimapd" which contains: exec /usr/dovecot/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail imap the session ends thus: --- a logout * BYE Logging out a OK Logout completed. imap(<username>): Info: Disconnected: Logged out unix-prompt% --- Note that additional, protocol-breaking, "imap(...): Info ..." line. This seems to be coming from "imap/cmd-logout.c" calling: client_disconnect(client, "Logged out"); which in turn ("imap/client.c") does: i_info("Disconnected: %s", reason); On the imap connection, this "i_info(...)" output goes (correctly) to syslog, but on the rsh/ssh connection this output seems to go to something like stdout. This strongly suggests a bug: an inconsistency between the two connection types, possibly regarding the way that stdout, stderr, syslog etc. are initialised, assigned, adjusted, etc. -- : David Lee I.T.

[Dovecot] Bug: auth_cache breaks master password feature
by Bill Boebel 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

When you set auth_cache_size to a value greater than zero, it breaks the master password feature in Dovecot. It appears that during a cache hit, Dovecot attempts to query the userdb for use the master user's home directory and other settings, rather than querying for the userdb settings of the user that the master was trying to log in for... causing the login to fail. Perhaps caching the userdb settings in addition to the passdb settings (since that is on the TODO list) would indirectly fix this problem. Bill

It sounded like there was going to be one, so that some of the fixes that didn't make it into rc7 could be easily tested before releasing 1.0? -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] No inbox for user error
by Ron 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

Hi, I'm getting 'no inbox for user' error. Set up sendmail, and can send and receive mail using Webmin/Usermin both to internal addresses and external ones. But Dovecot gives the no inbox error. I've tried telnetting in and get: +OK dovecot ready. USER myob -ERR Unknown command USER myob +UK PASS <password> +OK Logged in. -ERR No INBOX for user. No idea why the first USER command gives an error. And, of course, when I try using Evolution I get 'Cannot get POP summary'. The Dovecot config file, less all the commented out bits is: imap_listen = [::] pop3_listen = [::] imaps_listen = [::] pop3s_listen = [::] ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login_chroot = yes login = imap login_user = dovecot login = pop3 default_mail_env = mbox_locks = fcntl auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root Any and all ideas very welcome. I'm a total newbie at this server business... Thanks in advance. Ron

[Dovecot] Dovecot as LDA
by Gerard Seibert 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p8 postfix-current-2.4.20060903,3 dovecot-1.0.r7 I am experiencing a problem with dovecot as an LDA. It will not deliver mail unless the mail directory is chmod'd to 1777. Below is an example of the log file output. The dovecot.log file had over a hundred entries similar to this: deliver(gerard): Error: open(/var/mail/.temp.scorpio.seibercom.net.1123.cd38cd4d82e1368f) failed: Permission denied deliver(gerard): Error: file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/gerard: Permission denied Obviously the /var/log/maillog had similar fail warnings. By changing the permission to 1777 on the /var/mail directory and running postsuper -r ALL, I was able to get the mail delivered. What I am trying to determine is if I really should have those settings on the directory, or if I have something configured wrong in either postfix or dovecot. Postfix will deliver mail without any problem so I think it has to do with dovecot although I am not sure what. -- Gerard

[Dovecot] Quota with quota dict and peruser quota, dovecot LDA needed?
by Peter Veerman 03 Oct '06

Hi, This mail sources from the thread with this topic title: Re: [Dovecot] [SOLVED] quota with: postfixadmin, postfix, mysql & dovecot As this title does no longer cover the topic i decided to start a new thread. I have set up quota:dict with the proxy::quotadict option and i'm not using dovecot LDA. My quota table is filled with records like username: pveerman(a)nemo.kabelfoon.net path: 0 current: 0 and the personal max-quota reported by the client is okay, but the current-quota is 0. What am I doing wrong here? Peter

[Dovecot] [SOLVED] quota with: postfixadmin, postfix, mysql & dovecot
by Peter Veerman 01 Oct '06

01 Oct '06

Hi, I'm quite new to dovecot but already quite satisfied. Your documentation in the wiki is great but on quota + mysql it is not very clear. Because of the previously mentioned I have got the following note to make which you will hopefully use to adjust your wiki documentation on per-user-quota + mysql. I've searched your mail archive as good as possible and found no messages on this. If already messages have been exactly on this topic I want to apologize for sending this one. The notes I want to make is about this page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota I'm using postfix + postfixadmin & mysql and dovecot (previously I used courier-imap instead of dovecot). The problems I ran in to was with setting up the per-user quota, as the explanation at the wiki is quite vague. For instance, the dict plugin is used to keep the quota counters in the mysql backend but only one single line shows how to set-up a per user quota. Setting up a per user quota where the max-quota is stored in mysql should be made making use of this setting: ========== user_query = SELECT home, uid, gid, 'dirsize:storage=' || quota_bytes AS quota FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' ========== nowhere is mentioned that this should also! be set: =========== protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota } =========== the second point I want to make is that the mysqlquery is incorrect as || does not do the job of joining the two strings. Secondly is dovecot making use of kilobytes instead of bytes like postfix (and postfixadmin) does. For this I have found the following solution: ========== user_query = SELECT maildir, 125 AS uid, 125 AS gid,\ CONCAT('dirsize:storage=', ROUND( mailbox.quota / 1024 ) ) AS quota \ FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' ========== Here I select the quota field from the mailbox table. This is then divided by 1024 (1Kbyte) and ROUNDED off in order to get rid of the .00 that results from this division. Greetz, Peter Veerman pveerman NO-SPAM at NO-SPAM hackwerk DOT net

[Dovecot] Passdb passwd on FreeBSD
by Jim Flowers 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

I am trying to use dovecot for both virtual and local pop3 mailboxes. When I try to access a local account, I get an "unknown user" reject from 'passdb sql', as expected. However, I also get a reject from 'passdb pam' with the message: dovecot: auth(default_with_listener): pam(username(a)domain.tld,###.###.###.###): pam_authenticate() failed: authentication error. Is this because it is trying to authenticate username(a)domain.tld instead of just username? What can I do about it? Although I have a block for 'passdb passwd' following the 'passdb pam' block, there is nothing in the log. Why is this, I wonder? Any help to point me in the right direction will be appreciated. Thanks. -- Jim Flowers <jflowers(a)ezo.net> -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[Dovecot] Quota plugin rewrite
by Timo Sirainen 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Backported from CVS HEAD to branch_1_0. You can get it as a patch from http://dovecot.org/patches/1.0/quota-rewrite.diff New features include support for multiple quota roots, so you could have eg. per-user quota and a larger domain quota (although no backend actually supports this yet..). The more important feature is that you can configure specific mailboxes to have a bit more space available for them, such as Trash or Spam. The configuration has also changed. Normally you'd use something like this: quota = maildir # 1GB quota in general quota_rule = *:storage=1048576 # Trash mailbox gets 100MB more (so max. 1,1GB) quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=102400 # Spam mailbox gets also +100MB (still maxes at 1,1GB, not 1,2GB) quota_rule3 = Spam:storage=102400 You can place all the above into plugin { .. } section in dovecot.conf. In userdb if users have different quotas you'd then need to override only quota_rule (not quota, quota_rule2 and quota_rule3). I tested quickly that this seemed to work as described above. Please test and report. :)

[Dovecot] LDA and chroot
by Uldis Pakuls 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

Hi, I'd like to ask: is it possible to use Dovecot's LDA with mail_chroot variable set, e.g. "mail_chroot = /serv/storage19/vmail"? Without "mail_chroot" set all works fine. If mail_chroot is set and user database contains relative paths to home directory (without chroot part like "domain.net/user") deliver ignores this and tries to work at real root, while imap and pop3 processes founds home directory correctly. If users database contains full paths deliver works correctly, but imap/pop3 processes tries to access chroot directory + full path (and fails). Home directory in form "/chroot/path/./domain.net/user" solves the problem..., but as I understand, it is jut form to override default. Thus I can't find a way to correctly set default chroot path. Any suggestions? Tnx, Uldis

[Dovecot] LDA directly to Maildir/cur

i'm tired of dealing with buggy clients so i'm moving more processing into the server-side. i configured procmail as LDA with maildir-style mailboxes. i would like to simulate an automatic "mark as read" feature during procmail processing. simplest way looks to be forcing delivery directly to Maildir/cur instead of Maildir/new, but i suspect this may screw up dovecot. will this work? is there another (better) method? -SM-

[Dovecot] dovecot checkpassword passdb and vmailmgr
by Mij 28 Sep '06

28 Sep '06

hello some times ago I posted some patches to workaround vmailmgr not fitting into dovecot's passdb-checkpassword authentication module. Yesterday I spent some spare time for carrying out a cleaner solution for this problem. Check out these patches. If you're not interested in merging them, I will make them available at the same page I used for the former solution [ http://mij.oltrelinux.com/net/dovecot-qmail-vmailmgr ]; there were some 20 people/month that checked it out. This is a brief explanation of the patches: The root of all evil is that the checkpassword interface [ http://cr.yp.to/checkpwd/interface.html ] leaves room to interpretation when the scope is not system login. Vmailmgr and vpopmail, for example, collapse many mail users on the same system account. So, what "home" is here is not specified. In the case of vmailmgr, it's "checkvpw" sets HOME to the system user's home, and returns the path of the actual mail user differently. The solution I applied for this problem is to generalize the process that fetches authentication data (what currently is "checkpassword- reply"). I was set up for a specific passdb-vmailmgr module, but this would have seen a lot of code replication. Similarly (but I did not inspect further), I guess vpopmail can fit in this solution as well. So 1) provide a module "vmailmgr-reply", with the same behavior as checkpassword-reply, that's aware of the way checkvpw returns accounting information and pass this back to dovecot transparently so, this patch ships vmailmgr-reply along with checkpassword-reply (name them "fetcher"s for brevity) The idea is that every checkpassword-compatible module may have its own fetcher for passing correct info back to dovecot. Now with this generalization, the user must be able to specify if its checkpassword module needs a custom fetcher, and if it does, what's its path. So 2) modify auth/passdb-checkpassword.c and pump "args =". By default it takes the path of the checkpassword module (e.g. "checkvpw"), now it can be appended another field, that is the path of the custom fetcher. If this optional is omitted, the default checkpassword-reply will be used, and the cp module is supposed to behave like dovecot expects from it. Otherwise, a comma appear after the first path. e.g. passdb checkpassword { args = /xyz/checkvpw,/libexec/vmailmgr-reply } if one needs to specify paths with commas in the first one, commas can be escaped with \ (eg args=first\,path,second_path) Last but not least, the patch addresses again the problem with colons in paths. Currently, dovecot dictates no colons can exist in mailbox path names. In UNIX, no such constraint exist. Moreover, paths with colons are common when working specifically with qmail (see dot-qmail). When dovecot encounters ':', it truncates the path. This way, for example, if the authentication module returned home "/ path/name:surname", dovecot will truncante it to "/path/name". If name exist, name:surname will browse his mail without effort. All this comes from dovecot parsing params on MAIL environment (INDEX, INBOX, CONTROL), but it also happens if none of them was actually specified. So 3) modify lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.c for fixing the parsing problem with the mail environment. [ I did not provide the same fix for the remaining storages, but this can easily be done by copy/paste if convenient ]. For simplification and without loss of generality, this fix mandates ":INBOX=", ":INDEX=" and ":CONTROL=" params to follow in this order, if they appear. [ a minor patch agains auth/Makefile.am is provided for including vmailmgr-reply when building the rest of the auth stuff ] Any comment on this is welcome for discussion. bye
