[Dovecot] sigsev with postfix + dovecot SASL
by Udo Rader 05 May '06

05 May '06

hi, I am just playing a bit with the dovecot SASL plugin for postfix and so far my tests have been very successfull, can't wait to get the cyrus-sasl beast replaced. However, I found a potential problem when doing some "illegal" stuff on the postfix side: -------CUT------- cerberus:/var/log# telnet smtptest 25 Trying 192.168.99.99...

[Dovecot] maildir format
by DINH Viêt Hoà 05 May '06

05 May '06

Hello Timo and other dovecot-dev or users, It looks like Dovecot accepts (with APPEND command) messages that begins with 'From[SPACE]' line, which are not valid from RFC 2822 point of view. Additionnally, Dovecot will store them as they are APPENDed, I mean with the starting 'From[SPACE]' line, which generates a bad Maildir format. http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/maildir.html states the following : << Each file in new is a newly delivered mail message. The modification time of the file is the delivery date of the message. The message is delivered without an extra UUCP- style From_ line, without any >From quoting, and without an extra blank line at the end. The message is normally in RFC 822 format, starting with a Return-Path line and a Delivered-To line, but it could contain arbitrary binary data. It might not even end with a newline. >> -- DINH Viêt Hoà

[Dovecot] Solution: NFS & Dovecot!
by Apps Lists 05 May '06

05 May '06

Hi folks! It looks like Timo nailed down the NFS issues we've been seeing here in last night's CVS build. Anyone running Dovecot in a high-usage environment should check this out. Here are some relevant ChangeLog updates that seem to address the problem: 2006-05-02 11:11 Timo Sirainen <timo.sirainen(a)movial.fi> * src/lib-storage/index/maildir/: maildir-save.c, maildir-storage.h, maildir-sync.c, maildir-uidlist.c, maildir-uidlist.h: Adding mail to index while saving it had a race condition. Fixing it required a bit larger changes. Switched uidlist/index locking order so that uidlist is now locked first. 2006-05-02 11:04 Timo Sirainen <timo.sirainen(a)movial.fi> * src/lib-index/: mail-index-private.h, mail-index-sync-update.c, mail-index.c: mmap_disable: When syncing in-memory index from transaction log, we didn't skip external transactions which were already been in our in-memory mapping, causing "Append with UID n, but next_uid = m" errors. The build is available here: http://dovecot.org/nightly/dovecot-20060503.tar.gz Thus far, I've seen no complaints of corrupted indexes or core dumps. This is absolutely fantastic. As always... hats off to Timo. Great work! Steve

Dear all, Getting lots of these errors in our maillog with the INDEX changed: dovecot: IMAP(ghenry): fchown() failed with file /home/ghenry/Maildir/index/.INBOX/dovecot.index.tmp: Operation not permitted For .log and .cache as well. We have: location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir:CONTROL=%h/Maildir/control:INDEX=%h/Maildir/index I looked in safe-mkdir.c and saw: fchown() failed for (line 42) to change the owner first, so don't know why we are getting this error?

[Dovecot] dovecot LDA and pop3 session lock question
by Ken A 05 May '06

05 May '06

If pop3_lock_session = yes, how does Dovecot LDA handle the situation when the pop3 mbox is locked? Does it requeue mail for later delivery immediately (EX_TEMPFAIL), or wait until mbox_lock_timeout? Thanks, Ken A. Pacific.Net

[Dovecot] Problems with Dovecot 1.0 beta7 rpm form atrpm for RHEL4

Hi, I just want to install dovecot 1.0 beta7 from atrpm and noted that it depends on a non official dependency. If you have RHEL4 (Centos) 4.3 fully updated and you try to install: http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-1.0-0_10.99.beta7.el4.at.i386.rpm You get this error: # rpm -ivh dovecot-1.0-0_10.99.beta7.el4.at.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: openssl >= 0.9.7f-4 is needed by dovecot-1.0-0_10.99.beta7.el4.at.i386 The lates official openssl version for RHEL 4.3 is: # rpm -q openssl openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 I think I can solve this problem by compiling the src.rpm, but I get this error: # rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i686 --clean dovecot-1.0-0_10.99.beta7.el4.at.src.rpm Installing /opt/shares/tmp/dovecot-1.0-0_10.99.beta7.el4.at.src.rpm Building target platforms: i686 Building for target i686 error: line 4: Tag takes single token only: Release: 0_%atrelease 10.99.beta7 How can I compile the .src.rpm from atrpm?

[Dovecot] running only the dovecot-auth service
by Udo Rader 05 May '06

05 May '06

Hi, we are just testing postfix 2.3 in combination with its new dovecot SASL plugin. Now what we would like to have was dovecot SASL without acutally running dovecot ... The reason for this is because we have the "real" dovecot running on a different server than the postfix instance and it would be nice if it would not be necessary running an "full" dovecot on that server for only SASL support. So is it possible to start only the "dovecot-auth" part of dovecot? Another idea that I had was to export the created auth socket via nfs. Somewhere, sometimes I think to have read that it was possible to use unix domain sockets over nfs mounted shares, but I am not sure about this (and have failed so far).

[Dovecot] Bug in new mail-index-transaction.c
by Bill Boebel 04 May '06

04 May '06

These changes apparently broke something: > 2006-04-24 09:17 Timo Sirainen <timo.sirainen(a)movial.fi> > > * src/lib-index/mail-index-transaction.c: Fixed crash while > updating keywords (broken by recent changes). > > 2006-04-20 14:10 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> > > * src/lib-index/mail-index-transaction.c: If we sorted appended > messages, we weren't sorting extensions and keywords so they were > mapped to wrong messages (dbox-only problem, keywords not yet > fixed by this change). What I am seeing is when there are messages that have keywords set, Dovecot occasionally hangs while building the index and/or uidlist. It leaves a lock file "dovecot-uidlist.lock" around and the IMAP process reading that folder never completes successfully. To fix it, I have have to rename the message files to remove the keyword. For example: $ mv 1146246349.P365Q2.mail1b.r1.iad.emailsrvr.com:2,Sa 1146246349.P365Q2.mail1b.r1.iad.emailsrvr.com:2,S I reverted back to the copy of src/lib-index/mail-index-transaction.c from the 4/14/2006 CVS snapshot, and this problem completely went away. And mailboxes that were encountering the .lock problem suddenly worked again. If there is any additional information that you need in order to troubleshoot this bug, please let me know and I'll be happy to send it. Bill

It's getting weirder and weirder. 1) imap works fine when i connect to this dovecot from a remote client (e.g. thunderbird or scripts provided above) 2) everything works fine when i use the troubled box and connect to a remote dovecot server, using telnet and the scripts provided above. 3) the scripts above do work when used with localhost but they are extremely slow. It takes about 1,5 to 2 minutes to complete just to perform a login/logout sequence. Seems to be something wrong with connecting to localhost on that port. Can't pinpoint what it is. Oh by the way, results do not differ when the firewall is enabled or disabled. Floris

Next I configured the .spec file and attempted to run a rpmbuild -bb Near the end of the install phase I receive an error which has me stumped.

[Dovecot] Unoffical Survey - What MTA/Spam filtering do you use?
by Marc Perkel 03 May '06

I like this unofficial survey of hardware but wondering what MTA and spam filtering everyone is using. I do front end spam filtering for other servers as well. (junkemailfilter.com) I'm using Exim 4.61 SpamAssassin 3.11 Some version of DSpam that I'm experimenting with Most of my spam filtering happens on the Exim level. My mail spam filter server is: AMD 3800 Dual Core Athlon 2 100gb SATA drives 4 gigs ram 64 bit Fedora Core 4 2 backup servers on higher MX recored that are similar configuration.

[Dovecot] timeout_remove and "Timeout leak" problems
by David Friedlander 03 May '06

03 May '06

Hello, I have run into troubles trying to jump from 1.0alpha5 (basically running smoothly) to 1.0beta5 and/or beta7. I am seeing errors such as the following set for nearly every user. dovecot: May 01 16:21:02 Info: IMAP(joeuser): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: May 01 16:21:02 Error: IMAP(joeuser): file ioloop.c: line 153 (timeout_remove): assertion failed: (*timeout != NULL) dovecot: May 01 16:21:03 Info: IMAP(joeuser): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: May 01 16:21:03 Warning: IMAP(joeuser): Timeout leak: 0x111acc dovecot: May 01 16:21:03 Error: child 20607 (imap) killed with signal 6 (INBOX is on local RAID disks while home directory (hence, ~/Maildir) is on a NetApp NFS file server.) While I tweaked settings for the differences between the 1.0a5 conf file and the beta conf file, things are fundamentally the same between them. The other critical element to this is that imap-login sessions are being left around and the load average climbs inexorably. (It reached 50 on this dual dual-core machine before I killed things off and started the daemon from scratch.) This occurs for users using a whole array of clients: Thunderbird, SquirrelMail, Eudora, Apple Mail, etc. How can I track this down or can someone please help me figure out what is happening here? (I have been unable to find answers between the mailing list archives and Google.) Thanks in advance, David P.S. The only item of note from examining ioloop.c was the differences between the alpha and beta source code: alpha5: void timeout_remove(struct timeout *timeout) { i_assert(timeout != NULL); timeout->destroyed = TRUE; } beta7: void timeout_remove(struct timeout **timeout) { i_assert(*timeout != NULL); (*timeout)->destroyed = TRUE; *timeout = NULL; }

But like Curtis and Brent, I found that Outlook and Outlook Express display "incorrect" dates on messages uploaded via APPEND. That's because they sort messages using INTERNALDATE: wea3 SELECT "Test Folder" pqng UID FETCH 1:* (UID FLAGS RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER] INTERNALDATE) Some have created scripts to sync file timestamps with "Date" headers, which conflicts with the concept of "INTERNALDATE". Others ask users to add the "Date Sent" column, but those dates are only revealed after a message is viewed. I'd like to propose the attached patch to add an optional "outlook- dates" IMAP workaround, which returns the message "Date:" even when INTERNALDATE is specified. Since "BODY.PEEK" is being called anyway, our tests didn't reveal any performance impact. Can anyone think of a scenario this would negatively impact? Another option might be to patch the APPEND function? Thanks! Rich Sandberg richs(a)whidbey.net

[Dovecot] Expunge is not expunging unless it is called twice
by Bill Boebel 03 May '06

03 May '06

Dovecot is requiring two "expunge" calls before it deletes an email. It just seems to ignore the first expunge call, leaving the email file in the maildir cur/ folder. Any idea why? I even waited 10 seconds after setting the Deleted flag, but still the first expunge call did nothing.... 1 OK User logged in 2 select "INBOX" * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Flags permitted. * 12 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1144082550] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 1509] Predicted next UID 2 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. 3 UID STORE 1511 +FLAGS (\Deleted) * 12 FETCH (UID 1508 FLAGS (\Deleted \Seen)) 3 OK Store completed. 4 expunge 4 OK Expunge completed. 5 expunge * 12 EXPUNGE 5 OK Expunge completed.

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA - Performance/issues versus postfix delivery? Also, installing on OS X?
by Dean Blackburn 03 May '06

03 May '06

Can anyone give me an idea of whether or not dovecot-lda can solve the following issue: We seem to have constantly-corrupting dovecot* files for people who fit one (or more) of the following categories: 1) 1000+ message inboxes; 2) multiple clients simultaneously checking mail; 3) people receiving a lot of mail, and/or the server receiving and trying to deliver a single message to all users at once We're using straight postfix maildir delivery, and while the mail keeps coming, we start to see a lot of "temp.xxxx.xxxx.xxx" type lockfiles build up after any inconsistencies appear in the Inbox indexes, and clients start to report timeouts and/or crash as a result. Would switching to LDA by itself resolve this issue (on the argument that delivery would ALSO update the indexes every time), or is there some more fundamental issue we are having that is causing the inconsistency to arise? On a related note: I noticed the darwinports version of 1.0beta7 does not include the code for dovecot-lda... Does anyone have experience setting this up? Thanks! -deano

[Dovecot] madvise() errors
by Mark E. Mallett 02 May '06

02 May '06

(I think this has been mentioned before.) Do these hurt?: May 2 13:41:30 sysname dovecot: POP3(xxxx): madvise() failed with file /users/xx/xxxx/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: Operation not supported I think not, since I've been seeing them forever. But they do muddy the logs. This is on an old BSD/OS server, where the man page for madvise ends with: BUGS This call is not yet supported. The messages are *only* about index.log files. Would it be possible to either suppress the log message if the error is specifically "not supported" or, better yet, detect it at configure time? Completely understandable if it's not worth the effort, though. mm

[Dovecot] create_dovecot_shares
by Gavin Henry 02 May '06

02 May '06

Dear All, We've been working on this for a client to help create and manage maildir shares, via the dovecot-shared file. Our problems are creating lots of dovecot-shared files and permissions and monitoring new Maildir folders that get added by the user (maybe a better way, would love to know). The tool is almost done, with the docs at: http://www.suretecsystems.com/our_docs/create_dovecot_shares.html Maybe this can be of use to others when it's finished. Thanks, Gavin.

[Dovecot] Assertion failed

We're in a bit of a panic here as we're getting a lot of errors along the lines of: May 2 12:39:00 lenny dovecot: IMAP(XXXXX): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 106 (mbox_sync_headers_add_space): assertion failed: (start_pos < data_size) We didn't see this until our mail servers went under a full load and now we've trashed the ability of nearly all our users to read email. We saw this first under 1.0Beta3 and we've tried building 1.0Beta7 and its made no difference. I've tried fiddling with the "dirty" settings for the indices and banning mmap to see if there's any way way of avoiding the broken code, but with no luck. We're running White Box EL4 (2.6 Linux kernel) Does anyone know a workaround or whether there is an older version that doesn't have the bug? We desperately need to get an email service running and I don't want to go back to (shudder) UW-imap if I can help it but my options are limited at the moment. -- ______ J.Knight(a)kis.keele.ac.uk Jonathan Knight, / Keele Information Services / _ __ Telephone: +44 1782 583478 University of Keele, Keele, (_/ (_) / / Fax : +44 1782 713082 Staffordshire.

[Dovecot] Dovecot and NFS with file locking
by Nate Sanders 02 May '06

02 May '06

Greetings all, I'm trying to get an understanding of a problem we are facing here. We're currently running dovecot 1.0-beta3 and have a long standing issue of system crashes on our mail server (Debian Linux 2.4.27-2-k7-smp). Here's what is happening: The machine hangs and the system load climbs as high as 80.0+. Yet, the system response is not effected. Command line is still responds instantly. There are multiple running dovecot PIDs, even if I stop the service. If I try to kill or -9 the PIDs, they will not die. The machine is DOA and must be forcefully restarted. Issuing a reboot will cause the machine to hang when it attempts to unmount network shares. Here's the setup: - Dovecot 1.0-beta3 - lock_method = dotlock - mmap_disable = yes /var/mail is store locally on the mail server and access via NFS to ALL remote machines. All remote machines have /var/mail sym linked to the NFS share on Mail. /home on Mail is NFS'd to another set of servers where IMAP mail folders reside in mbox format. All client machines have /home sym linked to the second NFS server. In other words, there's a lot of NFS shares and one mail transaction can involve 3 machines. What I'm trying to find out is the current state of NFS locking with Dovecot. This system hang happens 1-3 times a week. The current /home NFS mounts are running from SGI machines on IRIX 6.5. Clients are all Linux (debian) 2.4 or Linux (ubuntu) 2.6. Is our setup too much for Dovecot to handle? Are there other variables we're not looking at here? Thanks everyone. -- ============================================== Nate Sanders nate(a)ima.umn.edu Associate Systems Manager (612) 624 - 4353 http://www.ima.umn.edu/ ============================================== Institute for Mathematics and its Applications University of Minnesota 400 Lind Hall, 207 Church St. SE Minneapolis, MN 55455-0463 ==============================================

[Dovecot] blank forwarded messages
by lenny＠edpausa.com 02 May '06

02 May '06

Just switched from uw to dovecot ( latest beta3 + lda ) on production system and everything seems fine except... There's some strange problem with forwarding messages from thundebird, the body of the forwarded message is always completely blank - 0 byte size. Forwarding from squrrel, horde, eudora and outlook works fine. Client setup on thunderbird installs hasn't changed a bit. I'm still investigating why this is happening. Has anyone run into this ?

[Dovecot] FreeBSD 6 - DirectAdmin - dovecot
by Floris van den Berg 02 May '06

02 May '06

Since version 1.0 I experience strange problems with dovecot. At the moment I have beta 7 installed. I use FreeBSD 6.0. * Pop3 works * Imap works, but only when i telnet to localhost * In all other cases I can't connect to the server. Tried with squirrelmail, uebimau and thunderbird. Squirrelmail after a long time waiting: "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server." Happens too with firewall switched off. Happens too when i restart exim and dovecot. /var/log/maillog mentions something about Inactivity. When i do tail -f /var/log/maillog and try to connect using squirrel, i see hardly any imap messages fly by, except 'inactivity'. Any ideas? Floris

Hi, we run a dovecot mail-server with about 50GB of e-mail and at the moment users are responsebil for macking ther own backup of e-mails. But I'd like to have also a backup of the mail, beckause not all users do ther backups ... We use mbox-format-mailboxes.

[Dovecot] mail messages moving between mailfolders
by taras＠elantech.ru 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hello to all! I'm using IMAP-based antispam self-learning. I have a folder "spam" in each Maildir in which I place spam-tagged messages during delivery. If antispam filter makes mistake, user can drag'n'drop message to/from "spam" folder. I running perl-script periodicaly and retrain spam-filter (dSpam). Now I must scan all messages, but it's not a good practice (server load depends from mail volume, not user activity) so I want add a "hook" to IMAP-server, i.e. I want server to report me something like "date: file1 -> file2" via any IPC (socket?) or log file while user moves messages across different mail folders. Overload from antispam retraining will be function from user activity with such feature added. P.S.: Now I'm using courier, but want to try dovecot. Sorry for bad English. With respect, Taras. -- С уважением, Савчук Тарас "ЭЛАНТЕК" +7 (495) 589 68 81 +7 (926) 575 22 11 http://www.elantech.ru

[Dovecot] fedora core 4 + mysql 5 + dovecot
by dave 02 May '06

02 May '06

hi all just a quick question i have dovecot (0.99.14 yum install) running on my fc4 server to get this working, i had to downgrade from mysql 5 to fedora's mysql rpm's i really would prefer to use mysql 5, but to satisfy the dependencies, i had to go to mysql 4 now, i just want to know if there is an rpm (linux rather than specific fc4 version is fine) out there for dovecot, that i can use with mysql 5 definitely prefer rpm's to src as i don't really like getting into the nitty gritty of config/setup thanks dave -- http://dtracorp.com

[Dovecot] Dovecot-1.0.beta7 Build Fedora 3 Error
by Luke Jackson 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hello I'm attempting to configure Dovecot with mysql support so I'm able to have a single database of users and point both postfix and dovecot to this db. I currently have an rpm src that I have download and placed in my RPMBUILDROOT of my linux box. Next I configured the .spec file and attempted to run a rpmbuild -bb Near the end of the install phase I receive an error which has me stumped. I ran rpmbuild again and used the -bi --short-circuit options and logged the output for you to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated..... rpmbuild -bi --short-circuit dovecot-fc5.spec Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.44599 Making install in src make[1]: Entering directory

[Dovecot] How to notify dovecot that maildir contents is changed by third-party helper ?
by Илья Евсеев 02 May '06

02 May '06

Hi, folks! How to notify dovecot that maildir contents is changed by third-party helper? My script performs spam cleanup, but all index/cache files (dovecot-uidlist, dovecot.index, dovecot.index.cache and dovecot.index.log) still unchanged, so, Web-frontend (IlohaMail over IMAP) displays taht mailbox contents isn't refreshed.

Hi, the changelog of beta4 suggested that ACL support was added but I couldn't find any documentation for it neither in the tarball nor in the wiki. Timo, do you already have some writeups regarding the ACLs or do I have to RTFS? best regards, Michael

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA troubles (input in flex scanner failed)
by Mark Moses 01 May '06

01 May '06

Hi all, I'm running fedora core 5 with postfix 2.2.8 (modified rpm version) and dovecot 1.0 beta7 and dovecot-lda nighly cvs snapshot from 14-04-2006 I might need to add that amavisd-new is configured as a content-filter. I have postfix running using virtual users in an mysql database and I have setup dovecot lda in postfix like the wiki says here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#head-dacb9b9a1f19c3ea86bb6f8caa3d64e3ddad9ef8 When I sent an email using this setup I get the following error in my maillog: May 1 20:41:29 calimero postfix/pipe[15760]: 8337934FABB: to=< mark(a)mydomain.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=0, status=bounced (Command died with status 2: "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver". Command output: input in flex scanner failed ) I really don't know if this is a configuration problem or a bug and how I can get more information about the error note: I haven't included config-files, but if they are needed I will provide those of course Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Sincerely, Mark

Building a newer version of Dovecot on Fedora is dead simple: ./configure --with-mysql make make install And you absolutely DO NOT want to run Dovecot with MySQL authentication using the 0.99 builds. There are many many bugs. Go get yourself the latest 1.0 beta version instead. -- Roger J.

[Dovecot] FreeBSD 6 - DirectAdmin - dovecot
by Floris van den Berg 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

Since version 1.0 I experience strange problems with dovecot. At the moment I have beta 7 installed. I use FreeBSD 6.0. * Pop3 works * Imap works, but only when i telnet to localhost * In all other cases I can't connect to the server. Tried with squirrelmail, uebimau and thunderbird. Squirrelmail after a long time waiting: "ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server." Happens too with firewall switched off. Happens too when i restart exim and dovecot. /var/log/maillog mentions something about Inactivity. When i do tail -f /var/log/maillog and try to connect using squirrel, i see hardly any imap messages fly by, except 'inactivity'. Any ideas? Floris

[Dovecot] Question - where's the mail?
by Bob Gustafson 29 Apr '06

29 Apr '06

I am running dovecot and dovecot-lda. Mail is delivered from my ISP via cron script using fetchmail. Over the last few days, there has been a selinux problem which gave permission denied problems whenever deliver would try to store mail in Maildir. I have a big blank spot in my incoming email from about Wed evening (when the latest FC5 upgrade (..) was installed to a few hours ago when I recognized that I may have a problem. Question: What does dovecot deliver do with a message that it cannot store due to permission problems?

[Dovecot] Maildir + NFS + multiple machines = spectacular failure
by Apps Lists 28 Apr '06

28 Apr '06

I'm running beta7 on two machines, with maildir on NFS. I have lockd running on all machines. I've found that Dovecot is highly unstable with NFS when accessing a mailbox on more than one machine at the same time. Both dovecot machines have: mmap_disable = yes lock_method = fcntl NFS is version 3, exported from a third linux machine. All machines are running 2.6.9 kernel. Any ideas what's going wrong here?
