[Dovecot] dovecot upgrade problems
by Cieslak, Andreas 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hi list, i made an upgrade from dovecot 1.0RC15 to 1.1.20 the default installation was under /etc/dovecot. The upgrade installation was made under /usr/local/etc. After that i changed all the paths in the /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf and the dovecot-binary to work with the new installation. Even path-changes were made for /etc/init.d/dovecot to work with the version 1.1.20. Changes in the /etc/init.d/dovecot: #### PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/dovecot NAME=dovecot DESC="mail server" test -x $DAEMON || exit 0 set -e # The init script should do nothing if dovecot is being run from inetd for p in `sed -r "s/^ *(([^:]+|\[[^]]+]|\*):)?(pop3s?|imaps?)[ \t].*/\3/;t;d" \ /etc/inetd.conf` do for q in `sed -r "s/^ *protocols[ \t]*=[ \t]*(([^\"]*)|\"(.*)\")/\2\3/;t;d" \ /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf` do if [ $p = $q ]; then exit 0 fi done done case "$1" in start) if grep protocols /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf | sed 's/#.*$//' | tr -d '"' | \ egrep -q '[^#]*(\bpop3s?\b|\bimaps?\b)'; then if [ -x /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login -a -x /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap ] \ || [ -x /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login -a -x /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 ] #### If I leave the DAEMON-Path to =/usr/sbin/dovecot Dovecot is running fine!!! The only thing which is missing under /usr/local is the auth-master file. Under /var/run/dovecot the old auth-master file exists. Why not under the upgrade path? Anyway, here is the logging when i try to start dovecot: Apr 6 16:18:37 server dovecot: dovecot v1.1.20 starting up (core dumps disabled) Apr 6 16:18:37 server dovecot: Fatal: auth(default): Dovecot version mismatch: Master is v1.1.20, dovecot-auth is v1.0.rc15 (if you don't care, set version_ignore=yes) Apr 6 16:18:37 server dovecot: Fatal: Auth process died too early - shutting down server:/usr/local/etc# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart Restarting mail server: dovecotWarning: Last died with error (see error log for more information): Auth process died too early - shutting down Also the configuration output: dovecot -n # 1.1.20: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 i686 Debian 4.0 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps pop3s imap ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.key disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_max_processes_count: 256 first_valid_uid: 1000 last_valid_uid: 5000 mail_access_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_full_filesystem_access: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 lda: postmaster_address: cieslak(a)folkwang-hochschule.de hostname: server log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail auth default: mechanisms: login plain verbose: yes debug: yes process_size: 512 passdb: driver: passwd args: /etc/passwd passdb: driver: shadow args: /etc/shadow passdb: driver: ldap args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: passwd args: blocking=yes userdb: driver: ldap args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen master: path: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: mail plugin: quota: maildir ###auth-master is not existing under the path /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master.

[Dovecot] Forcing NOSELECT for a Maildir folder?
by Nils 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Hello, is it at all possible, possibly without modifying the source code of Dovecot, to enforce that a mailbox gets the NOSELECT attribute? I have a namespace set up like this: namespace private { separator = / prefix = Local Folders/ location = maildir:/xyz/core/store/maildir/%u/ inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes subscriptions = yes } And the folder hierarchy my client builds based on the LIST response from Dovecot comes out as: INBOX Local Folders <--- (standard flags, but no NOSELECT) - Folder 1 -- Folder 1.1 - Folder 2 - Sent - Trash Public Folders <--- NOSELECT - Announcements That's how I expect it, except that I don't want "Local Folders" to be selectable. When I select it and list the contents, I get the contents of INBOX. I have no clue why that happens. :-/ For the public namespace, everything works as expected, so I'm lost. Basically: I want "Local Folders" to be like "Public Folders" and have \NOSELECT. In maildir_storage.c I can find places where a MAILBOX_NOSELECT flag is set, but from what I understand that's only done if the path is not a directory or if the permissions are insufficient. Random taking away of permissions on folders didn't yield the result I wanted. Either it resulted in no change, or in Dovecot complaining that the permissions were now too restrictive. Forgive me if I missed something obvious. I only studied the source using grep and nano for 10 minutes before adding an ugly hack in my client to fake that Dovecot gave the "Local Folders" mailbox the NOSELECT attribute (my client is the only one that will ever talk to my installation of Dovecot, so I can do that). The wiki also didn't mention anything on NOSELECT. Google searches didn't help either. I'd much rather have Dovecot give the response I want, rather than bending its responses around in my client. Any ideas how I can achieve that? - Nils --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# dovecot --version 1.2.11 --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# telnet 127.0.0.1 144 * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Private Messages Server 0 LOGIN abc def OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA] Logged in 1 LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Local Folders" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Local Folders/Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Local Folders/Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" "Public Folders" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Public Folders/Announcements" 1 OK List completed. 2 STATUS INBOX (messages) * STATUS "INBOX" (MESSAGES 4) 2 OK Status completed. 3 STATUS "Local Folders" (messages) * STATUS "Local Folders" (MESSAGES 4) 3 OK Status completed. 4 LOGOUT * BYE Logging out 4 OK Logout completed. --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# dovecot -n -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm.conf # 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-ARCH i686 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot-pm/ listen: 127.0.0.1:144 ssl: no disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot-pm//login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: Private Messages Server mail_max_userip_connections: 5 mail_debug: yes mail_plugins: quota imap_quota trash acl namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: Local Folders/ location: maildir:/xyz/core/store/maildir/%u/ inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: public separator: / prefix: Public Folders/ location: maildir:/xyz/core/store/publicmaildir/:INDEX=~/public/ list: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 user: xyz passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm-sql.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=xyz gid=xyz home=/xyz/core/store/maildir/%n plugin: quota: maildir:User Quota quota_rule: *:backend=1000C,26214400S quota_rule2: Trash:storage=25M quota_warning: storage=80%% /xyz/cronobs/QuotaWarning.php quota_warning2: messages=9500 /xyz/cronobs/QuotaWarning.php trash: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm-trash.conf acl_anyone: allow acl: vfile:/etc/dovecot/pm-acls --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm-sql.conf driver = pgsql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=xyz user=abc password=def default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = \ SELECT "Username" AS "username", "Password" as "password" \ FROM "users" WHERE "Username" = '%n'; --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot-pm-trash.conf 1 Local Folders/Trash --------------- [q@lala dovecot]# cat /etc/dovecot/pm-acls/Announcements authenticated lrs

[Dovecot] Testing 2.0b3 - problem with pop3
by Odhiambo Washington 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

I am testing the version on FreeBSD 7.3-PRELEASE (I doubt it's the issue) and I am having a problem with pop3. Here is what I see in the log when I attempt to connect to port 110: Feb 22 18:15:03 master: Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration Feb 22 18:15:08 pop3-login: Panic: file login-settings.c: line 216 (login_settings_read): assertion failed: (input.roots[count] == NULL) Feb 22 18:15:08 master: Error: service(pop3-login): child 70115 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) Feb 22 18:15:08 master: Error: service(pop3-login): command startup failed, throttling And the output of doveconf can be seen at http://62.8.64.102/~wash/2.0b3.txt I've basically made my best effort to reflect the settings I had on 2.0b1 into this version.

[Dovecot] Timeout Value
by JackyC＠umac.mo 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

Dear All, I constantly encounter 'dovecot-auth', 'login-imap', 'login-pop3' and 'imap' processes consume 100% CPU. I run 'ps' and found those hanged up processes were running for a long time. I am wondering whether dovecot.conf has some configuration parameters that timeout those processes (or kill those after certain period of time). I am using dovecot 1.2.11 on RHEL 5.3. Many thanks ~~~ Yours Sincerely, Jacky Chan

[Dovecot] expires
by ben＠electricembers.net 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

When the expire cronjob actually finds a folder needs pruning, does it then purge the row from the database? Or could it update the row with the "new" oldest message's expiration time? I guess I can test this for myself. I did just learn that emptying the Trash removes the row from the expires db. . . I had misconfigured expires here, and think I fixed it, but in checking things over, I do find some "over age" files, and their users don't appear in the expires db. So I'm assuming it's because expiration worked on that folder some time ago, and no "new" messages have been delivered there since then to reset the expires db? (Sometimes I wish there wasn't the db, and we could just have a nightly cronjob do all the work on all users' Trash, Spam, Virus folders -- where we pretty much expect to be constantly pruning, or shaving as it were ;) Benjamin
