[Dovecot] 1.2.7: recs[i]->uid < rec-> uid
by Edgar Fuß 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

I'm getting this Panic with some users on dovecot-1.2.7: Panic: file maildir-uidlist.c: line 1242 (maildir_uidlist_records_drop_expunges): assertion failed: (recs[i]- >uid < rec-> uid) There's another dovecot-1.2.3 running on identical hardware accessing the same NFS mail storage without problems.

[Dovecot] restrictions on folder length?
by Brett Dikeman 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Greetings all, After migrating a few dozen people to our departmental mailserver, we've run into a problem with one user who makes extensive use of folders and nesting them. I've seen as many as 8 levels. The longest resulting folder name is 113 characters, which results in a total path length of 137 characters (/var/spool/mail/******). Their old mail server handled this fine, but dovecot is choking on it; imapsync reports "invalid mailbox name", and he gets the same error clicking on the mailboxes in Thunderbird (they seem to have been created, despite the error messages.) Mail was imported over using imapsync, and did so flawlessly for all the other accounts. Are we running up against a soft (configuration file) or hard (source) limit? Or is this a bug? Thanks! Brett

[Dovecot] expire plugin + --exec-mail in 1.2.6 version
by Nikita Koshikov 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hello list, After upgrade to dovecot version 1.2.6 I have noticed some quota malfunctions(users become often overquota). Looking at logs closely I have found that quota value resets to general dovecot-config( quota = maildir:Mailbox quota quota_rule = *:storage=500M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=10%% ), after dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool.sh command. The problem that some users have their own quotas stored in ldap. For example, user sr(a)domain.com have maildirsize before running expire-tool(1G value from ldap): # head -2 /data/mail/domain.com/sr/data/maildirsize 10485760000S 836423205 8285 Then I run expire-tool with mail_debug enabled: # /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool.sh Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap Info: Module loaded:

In changes to version 1.2.6 I see - dovecot --exec-mail was broken. Is fixes to 1.2.6 touch userdb lookups from --exec-mail ? With 1.2.4 expire-tool works correct and I have no config changes to dovecot setup. If dovecot -n output is needed, please let me know. Thanks.

[Dovecot] new to dovecot
by Lars Nielsen 25 Nov '09

Hi there, I have installed debian with exim4 postgresql 8.3 and dovecot 1.0.15. I have the mail delivery part done, so when i send mail it gets delivered in ~/MailDir/ I have tried to authenticate via passwd and postgresql but with no luck. I have read a lot on google but i cannot get dovecot to give me the mails via pop3. Is there a tutorial somewhere i have missed? so far i have messed up my config like this : # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot/errors.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 pop3s login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format: %08Xu%08Xv auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd regards Lars Nielsen

[Dovecot] Newbee, some questions
by Spyros Tsiolis 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hello list, OK, I just registered with the list, so please be tolerant :-) I've been using another MTA for about, oh, I'd say nine years now. Due to reasons beyond me (mainly my clients demanding more for their buck / things like webmail etc.), I was forced to start searching for (always) open source alternatives. The last MTA was only POP3/SMTP. It does no webmail. It interfaces with other software with a lot of pain and difficulty. I'll cut to the chase. I would like to start using some kind of software that can do the following : 1. Do multiple domain handling. 2. Have a centralized user base 3. Have a centralized mail repository for each user (like exchange, only without the admin/maintenance pain that comes with it) 4. be able to do IMAP/POP3 and not SMTP/POP3 (or do I need all three of them ?) 5. Interface with things like web-based mail software (LAMP ?) Am I in the right place ? I would certainly like to think so. However, the feedback belongs to you . Thank you kindly for your hospitality and patience, S. Tsiolis

[Dovecot] shared mailboxes using namespaces in 1.2
by Alexander 'Leo' Bergolth 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hi! I've been using shared mailbox trees using maildir, unix permissions and separate namespaces per shared tree since dovecot 1.0. However now that I've upgraded to 1.2.8, I cannot create subfolders anymore. The server responds with "NO Invalid mailbox name: test/testsub". The hierarchy separator for the namespaces is / because I am mixing maildir and mbox namespaces and list=yes. The details: I am using a post-login script (attached) that detects all subfolders of /var/spool/mail/Shared for which the current user has at least read access. For every subfolder, it creates a separate namespace with the prefix Shared/<mailboxname>. The shared mailbox trees are in maildir format. If one of those namespace-prefixes is e.g. "Shared/sharedmailbox/", I am able to create "Shared/sharedmailbox/test" but trying to create "Shared/sharedmailbox/test/testsub" will fail with the above error. If I set the herarchy separator to '.' even creating "Shared/sharedmailbox/test" will fail. Any hints?
