[Dovecot] Pam trouble
by Benjamin Dabelow 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hi folks, I can't get dovecot to authenticate properly against ldap/pam. I've been fiddling with it for several days now, to no avail. It keeps crashing with: Child died with signal 11 The system is Solaris9. Enclosed is a trace of dovecot-auth for a connection to pop with correct username and password and my config. Any help is appreciated. Cheers Benjamin Trace----------------------------------------------------- 29964: poll(0x00052E28, 9, 4999) (sleeping...) 29964: poll(0x00052E28, 9, 4999) = 0 29964: poll(0x00052E28, 9, 0) = 0 29964:

[Dovecot] help: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Invalid mask.
by Bodo Gelbe 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Am tryin to move from uw-imapd to dovecot, using dovecot ver 0.99.10.4. Reading with Mozilla Mail v 1.4. I made some test accounts and they seem to be working fine, but my older existing accounts give error messages whenever I connect or subscribe to mailboxes within them. The message that appears on the client is: "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Invalid mask." it appears two or three times in an alert box (on windows) then everything seems to work. The masks (I've put a syslog call into the code) are: "~%", "~%~%" and "~*". The test accounts I created don't have this problem. Thanks in advance for any advice, -- Bodo Gelbe

[Dovecot] Dovecot and Mulberry

FYI. Does Dovecot implement BODYSTRUCTURE? An eval copy of Mulberry can be downloaded from <http://www.cyrusoft.com/mulberry/>. ------------ Forwarded Message ------------ Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 6:56 PM +0100 From: Lennart Petersson <lennart(a)informatik.gu.se> To: mulberry-discuss(a)cyrusoft.com Subject: Dovecot and Mulberry I've recently changed my imap-server from Courier to Dovecot <http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/> for testing purposes and have seen some strange behaviour from Mulberry. Most annoying is that suddenly some incoming mail are parsed wrong, i.e. even if the mail has has proper Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" and Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable, it is displayed as 7bit and us-ascii. All these =F6 and so on is irritating. The only way remedy the problem is to quit mulberry and start again and almost always the email is displayed properly. And if the mail that gets misinterpreted is a multi-part email mulberry only reports that it has one part. But if you view the mail in raw all the parts are there. I've yet to see a pattern in then mulberry starts this misinterpretations. Sometimes it is a email from pine or a mail from a mailinglist or from outlook or ... A collegue that also uses dovecot but mutt instead of mulberry doesn't have this problems. Should I blame Dovecot or Mulberry?

Should I blame Dovecot or Mulberry? | | Anyone one with experience with dovecot (or any other imap-server that | supports Maildirs)? If you see problems with proper interpretation of MIME structure and MIME parameters etc, then it is almost certainly a server bug. Mulberry uses the IMAP server's BODYSTRUCTURE response to determine the MIME structure of a message on the server without having to download the entire message and parse it locally - that is one of the major benefits of IMAP. The details you see listed in the mailbox pane (addresses, subject, attachment types) and the parts listed in the message pane's Parts list are all derived from the server response. If the server gets it wrong, then you will see the incorrect data/structure in Mulberry too. To confirm that it really is a server bug, try copying the message to a local Mulberry mailbox and look at it from the local mailbox. It should appear correctly in that case, because Mulberry will do MIME parsing itself for local messages. To fully diagnose this, put the problem messages in their own IMAP mailbox, then turn protocol logging for IMAP on in Mulberry using <http://www.cyrusoft.com/mulberry/faq/logging.html> and open the mailbox to show the list of message. Then turn logging off and send me (or inspect yourself) the log files. NB Clients that do not take advantage of IMAP's benefits by using BODYSTRUCTURE (and other similar features) will not 'expose' the server bug as they never use that data from the server. PS Getting the BODYSTRUCTURE response wrong is the most common server bug that we see - particularly in relatively new servers. -- Cyrus Daboo ---------- End Forwarded Message ----------

[Dovecot] X-UID
by Paul Adams 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

What is the function of the X-UID header in mbox format? Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 seems to regard it as a simple numbering of the messages; i.e., that the first message in the mbox should have X-UID: 1. Dovecot seems to treat it simply as an ordered unique identifier. Thus, the first message in my actual mbox has X-UID: 3849658. (There are only a few dozen messages in the box.) Running Thunderbird 0.5 against a Dovecot IMAP server with mbox format, Thunderbird displays these UID numbers in the message list, which is fairly useless -- I want a numbered list of my messages starting at 1 (which Pine, for example, is happy to provide). I'm just wondering whether this is Dovecot's fault, Thunderbird's fault, or an ambiguity in the mbox standard. thanks, Paul

[Dovecot] [PATCH] POP3: Fix RFC1939 non-compliance in STAT, LIST and UIDL commands
by Nic Bellamy 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hi all, attached is a patch against 0.99.10.4 that fixes the STAT, LIST and UIDL POP3 command output in the case that they're issued after one or more messages have been deleted. Examples of incorrect behavior (bad spots marked with '***') C: STAT S: +OK 2 806 C: LIST S: +OK 2 messages: S: 1 403 S: 2 403 S: . C: UIDL S: +OK S: 1 1076749908.12 S: 2 1076749908.13 S: . C: DELE 1 S: +OK Marked to be deleted. C: STAT *** S: +OK 2 806 C: LIST *** S: +OK 2 messages: *** S: 1 403 S: 2 403 S: . C: UIDL S: +OK *** S: 1 1076749908.12 S: 2 1076749908.13 S: . What it should have been is: [snip] C: DELE 1 S: +OK Marked to be deleted. C: STAT S: +OK 1 403 C: LIST S: +OK 1 messages: S: 2 403 S: . C: UIDL S: +OK S: 2 1076749908.13 S: . It's unlikely the above issue has been causing much in the way of problems, as it's very rare for mail clients to use any of the faulty commands after they've deleted messages (they tend to do it once at the beginning of the POP3 session and cache the results).

[Dovecot] IMAP subfolders
by Manuel Moran Vaquero 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

Hi: I am using dovecot since the first day on my server (so I have no other mailbox formats). I can't create any subfolders under any IMAP folders. Is this still an issue of dovecot? In mozilla, the operation is simply ignored. With outlook, you can't even click "Accept" if you select to create a subfolder, rather than a top level folder. I have Fedora Core 1, and didn't touch anything special in the configuration file (just one line which enabled pop3 and imap). I have seen the list archives but the existing thread about the issue seems to say that the problem is solved. (?) Thanks in advance for replies Manuel Moran

So, Dovecot above thought "/home/hosted/example.com/users/test" was the storage format and "user" the data part for it. You could change default_mail_env = maildir:~/ but then Dovecot would think "user" as being unknown option.. I'm not sure what to do about this..

[Dovecot] Dovecot -- basic setup
by Tom 19 Feb '04

19 Feb '04

Hey all, After some kind soul made me understand what I can expect from Dovecot, I feel really embarassed for not being able to set it up correctly. What I already had was ~/Mail, containing about six maildirs. Exim got mail, delivered it to procmail, and procmail dropped it in my inbox; a needless extra step that I keep for future, ehm, needs that I might start to care about when I can just succesfully use the most basic mail configuration I can think of. As far as I understood, I just have to point Dovecot to my maildir for it to serve my mail when I connect appropriately with a client. When I test that with KMail connecting to localhost, I get a bizarre overview of my mailfolders, that looks like this: http://www.xs4all.be/~verbreyt/img/scrots/dovecot-kmail.jpg The error message on top is what I get when I try to catch up with any possible new mail: "Unable to get information about folder antwort.index. The server replied: Internal error." Syslog says "lstat(/home/tom/Mail/.antwort.index/cur) failed: Not a directory". Could be, of course: the directory should be ~/Mail/antwort/cur. After I ran KMail and got those errors, ~/Mail, previously only containing some folders, each in turn containing cur/, new/ and tmp/, is stuffed with index files, and three new folders (cur/, new/ and tmp/) directly in the toplevel. ##### $ ls -a Mail . .drafts.index.ids .sent.index.ids .. inbox sent-mail antwort .INBOX .sent-mail.index .antwort.index .inbox.index .sent-mail.index.ids .antwort.index.ids .inbox.index.ids spam check .inbox.index.sorted .spam.index .check.index new .spam.index.ids .check.index.ids outbox tmp cur .outbox.index trash .customflags .outbox.index.ids .trash.index drafts sent .trash.index.ids .drafts.index .sent.index ##### I'm not sure just where it all goes wrong. Yes, I feel stupid about that, but what did, then, did I misunderstand? The only relevant thing in /etc/dovecot.conf I guess would be "default_mail_env" which I have set to "maildir:~/Mail:INBOX=~/Mail/inbox". Documentation may be sparse, it'd still make me sad to be the cause of it being extended for use by the clueless. :-/ Grateful for any corrections, Tom -- "Mongolian drivers do not care much about pedestrians." -- np: Predominance - Luftschiffe (flac)

[Dovecot] File synchronization friendly indexes
by Aredridel 19 Feb '04

19 Feb '04

I've been doing some tests of file synchronization with Unison (think "two way rsync"), and run into one problem: Synching between servers has conflicts on the index file. I can manually exclude, but what seems to me to be a really wonderful feature would be to, preferably, make the indexes somewhat atomic, so that files, once written, don't change (this is a feature of maildirs in general), and barring that, that they include the machine name as part of the filename, so there's no conflicts. Also, on a completely unrelated and somewhat offtopic note: I'd love to hear some brainstorms on how to prevent duplicate messages when maildirs are synched, files are moved from new on one or more ends, flags are changed inconsistently, and synched back.

[Dovecot] More Benchmarks, and a question about indexing
by Anthony Wendell Kay 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

Hi, We are thinking of converting to Dovecot to lighten our I/O load. I have done some performace tests comparing UW-IMAP to Dovecot when using mbox format if anyone is interested. They primarily examine the I/O improvements that can be gained from using Dovecot over UW when staying with mbox format: http://whizzo.uoregon.edu/public/src/mailperf/results.html I had too much cached for this set of tests, and I am going to re-run some with the recommended cache settings...so stay tuned. Anyway, we are stuck with the mbox format for the forseeable future, and I noticed how hard hitting Dovecot is on initial access to a large mailbox, so we need a way to pre-create some of those indexes. I saw in the docs that such an indexer has been planned, but does anyone have a hack for doing it now? -- Anthony Kay Phone: (541) 346-1719 Student Consultant Key Signature: 7195 40B9 FC4F 6F43 C04A University of Oregon Computing Center B4D9 BAF1 C76E AB6E 33E5 "Don't wish your life away." - Mom's best advice

[Dovecot] LDAP configuration
by Giacomo Cariello 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

Hello, I've just installed dovecot to replace courier-imap and I've found out it didn't support some of the typical LDAP userPassword schemes, so I've written some based on OpenSSL API. Furthermore I noticed that the MD5 one seems broken. If it isn't a requirement to ship its own implementation of a crypto algorithm, I would send in a patch to replace schema checks with those based on libcrypto. I also noticed that if I try connecting to an account that doesn't contain a real maildir (es. maildir:%h/.mail, but .mail doesn't exist), the imap segv's. I suppose it would be cool to ship a maildirmake program and have imap use it whenever necessary, if a flag allows it to do so.

[Dovecot] Basic questions concerning mail...
by Tom 16 Feb '04

16 Feb '04

Hey all, A few minutes ago, I installed Dovecot, hoping things would get clear by just looking at the relevant config files, but since they don't, I hope someone here could give me a clue... What I want to achieve is really only basic functionality. It's just for personal use, so it shouldn't get too complicated. Up til now, I have been using fetchmail to get my mail off of several POP3-accounts, exim to hand it over to procmail and procmail to drop it in the mail directories of my girlfriend and I. I'd like to be able to remotely use a webmail program of some kind to check mail without having to use ssh to login. So I thought an IMAP-server might be the way to go, but, embarassing though it may be, I can't quite grasp how Dovecot (any IMAPd of course, for that matter) fits in the whole. Should Dovecot receive mail from fetchmail and put in it it's proper place in the user's home directories? Or does Dovecot merely read any mail that might belong to users, told where to look by dovecot.conf? Since I now notice my questions are put in a way that is equally embarassing as the questions themselves, I'll keep it short: could anyone enlighten me about the role of Dovecot / an IMAPd it the whole of a mail system (mail directories for each user, fetchmail, procmail, an MTA, a MUA)? Sincerely apologizing for wasting your undoubtedly valuable time, Tom -- "Mongolian drivers do not care much about pedestrians." -- np: Vive La Fête - Assez (flac)

About my problem with "dovecot crashes on certain spam messages", I have found that deleting the mail it is working on when it crashes just makes it crash on some other message, but deleting .imap.index.* from the directory of the folder in question makes everything good again.

[Dovecot] ANNOUNCE: Mailadmin - New web interface for virtual domains
by John Thompson 09 Feb '04

09 Feb '04

Hey there, I've written a(nother) web front end for postfix + dovecot + mysql, it's called Mailadmin. (I'm sure you could use it with another POP/IMAP server, I haven't though) You can download it at: http://waste.org/~jello/mailadmin/ Some features are: o Licensed under the GPL o Written in perl o Written with security in mind o Supports regular mailboxes, forward-only boxes, and catchalls. o Ability to undelete deleted users (You'll have to do this manually for now (see TODO)) o You can add as many admins as you want, and they can only see or modify their own domains/users. o Uses HTML::Template, so you can edit the pages to appear as you want without having to muck through a bunch of code There are still a few features left to add (deleting domains for instance), but it's been working great for me for a while. Also, Debian Sarge (or later) users can use the install script and brief instructions to go from a bare-bones install to fully working postfix + dovecot + mysql virtual domains with web front-end in 5 or 10 minutes. Guaranteed! (ok, maybe not _guaranteed_, but it's quite easy). Feedback is much appreciated.

[Dovecot] CRAM-MD5 support?

Hi, I'm wondering what is dovecot's support for CRAM-MD5? The mailing list for November 2003 seems to indicate that Timo has included it into the CVS tree, however the ChangeLogs in the latest version does not say anything about it. The online docs has indicated that it's supported, but the doc files in 0.99.10.4 doesn't seem to mention about it.... Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] Illegal characters in message names
by Lars Skovgaard 06 Feb '04

06 Feb '04

Hi all I've set up Dovecot to use maildir-storage according to the previous hint from Blair Zajac, and it's working perfectly. However, I still have a problem with the way procmail wants to name the received emails. The following is a slightly modified extract from my logs: procmail: [5373] Thu Feb 5 23:59:14 2004 procmail: Assigning "MAILDIR=/Users/name/Maildir/" procmail: Assigning "ORGMAIL=/Users/name/Maildir/" procmail: Assigning "DEFAULT=/Users/name/Maildir/" procmail: Assigning "INCLUDERC=/Users/name/Library/rc.myrules" procmail: Match on "^From:.*someone@somewhere.com" procmail: Error while writing to ".Folder/tmp/1076021954.5373_0.y/rc.myrulessomewhere.com" procmail: Couldn't create or rename temp file ".Folder/tmp/1076021954.5373_0.y/rc.myrulessomewhere.com" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=/Users/name/Maildir/new/ 1076021954.5373_1.rp.comsomewhere.com" procmail: Notified comsat: "name@0:/Users/name/Maildir/new/1076021954.5373_1.rp.comsomewhere.com" As you can see, procmail puts a slash in the middle of the name, which of course is not allowed. This causes the rule to break, and the mail to be delivered to the default mailbox instead of the intended. Does anyone know how to control which characters are allowed in procmail, or how to control the naming eg. by way of grep? /Lars

[Dovecot] Newbie question: How to make dovecot read /var/mail/user while using Maildir
by Lars Skovgaard 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

Hi I've been trying to figure out how to make dovecot read the system standard /var/mail/user, which is in mbox-format, while at the same time using Maildir as the preferred method of storage. When in Maildir-mode, I can store mail on the server without a hitch, but I don't receive mails. When in mbox-format, I can read and write, but the risk of corrupting mails is to high for me to consider mbox as an option. I would appreciate to hear from anyone who has a possible solution to this. Info about my system: MacOSX 10.2 Jaguar Apache 2.0.47 running Squirrelmail 1.4.2 PHP 4.3.2 Sendmail 8.12.9 Procmail v3.21 /Lars

[Dovecot] Dovecot crashes on certain spam messages
by Karl Eklund 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

Dovecot crashes. I think it's because of some message in my spam folder. It has happened once before, and that time I solved it by deleting that folder. It happens when I start gnus ("Checking messages in folder spam" or something like that), which makes gnus just stop, or when I try to enter that folder in mutt. Jan 30 17:07:09 kalle imap(ke): file imap-bodystructure.c: line 278 (part_parse_headers): assertion failed: (part->physical_pos >= input->v_offset - start_offset) Is there something I can do to determine which message it crashed on?

[Dovecot] dovecot crash on sendfilev64 on solaris 8 (32bit) (WORKAROUND)
by Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) 04 Feb '04

04 Feb '04

Hi, related to my previous email i found that setting "mail_save_crlf = no" instead of yes make dovecot working. However if enabled on solaris 8 it doesn't work hanging on sendfilev64() call. I noticed that maildir file names are still different from maildrop and dovecot but now works. However moving bigger mailbox from local storage to remote imap server i receive "Disconnect for inactivity while waiting for command data" error triggered by client_input_timeout function in imap/client.c . The timeout is defined as CLIENT_CMDINPUT_TIMEOUT which is defined as CLIENT_OUTPUT_TIMEOUT which is 1 minute (60*1000) . I think that could be usefull to have this timeout tunable because when you tranfer into the imap server large quantity of data if it takes more than 1 minutes, process goes timeout ( altought with mutt 1.4i client ) . Regards -naif

[Dovecot] Dovecot died due to some SSL related error
by Christof Baumgärtner 04 Feb '04

Hi, Dovecot (pre-compiled version of Fedora Core 1, configured for Maildir) is running fine for me since a few days. It happened now twice to me that dovecot died with the following error message in /var/log/maillog: Feb 4 11:18:27 hundehuette imap-login: RAND_bytes() failed: error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded Feb 4 11:18:27 hundehuette dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down As these previous log messages indicate the login was working before without any problem: Feb 4 11:02:37 hundehuette imap-login: Login: andrea [192.168.2.138] Feb 4 11:05:56 hundehuette last message repeated 30 times Feb 4 11:09:02 hundehuette last message repeated 15 times Feb 4 11:12:08 hundehuette last message repeated 15 times Feb 4 11:15:15 hundehuette last message repeated 15 times Feb 4 11:18:21 hundehuette last message repeated 15 times Feb 4 11:18:26 hundehuette last message repeated 12 times Dovecot is running as user "dovecot" who does not have a ~/.rnd file Any idea? Thanks, Christof

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot crashes on certain spam messages

I'm also seeing this - I wasn't able to get a core dump, but was able to get info from strace/lsof to track down the message: strace shows in a continuous read loop, as it's trying to go past EOF. pread(9, "", 3502, 30524) = 0 pread(9, "", 3502, 30524) = 0 pread(9, "", 3502, 30524) = 0 I've attached the problem message (gzipped). -D -- <dr.pox> does whistling in the dark make me go blind faster?

A regular FAQ on the SA-Talk list is how to integrate SA into someone's IMAP/POP3 server, and once Dovecot gets popular, you'll start seeing that question here. I run SA from sendmail via MIMEDefang (to reject the egregious stuff), and from procmail on delivery (to tag and quarantine the borderline stuff). I'm not sure why people would use it in the IMAP server, but the question does come up.

[Dovecot] Migrating from UW: mbx detection and conversion
by Kenneth Porter 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

I want to migrate my big mail folder hierarchy in preparation for converting from UW-IMAP to Dovecot. I've got a bunch of mbx format folders but some remain mbox. Has anyone done this? Any scripts out there for automating the conversion to all-mbox? I believe the only format conversion available is mailutil (part of UW-IMAP) and it works by opening an IMAP connection to the server and moving messages from one folder to the other. Is there any simpler method?
