dsync I/O Stalled
by Paolo Daniele 14 Jul '21

14 Jul '21

Hi guys, i've a strange problem between 2 servers. It happened after a changing on our network core routing infrastructure. We've moved to Juniper network and eBGP and iBGP of our server. One of this server is behind a firewall and communicate with another server in another country to sync our emails. Doveadmin replica seems to be fine, but sometimes i get this error message: dsync-server(aaaaa(a)bbb.bb): Error: Timeout during state=sync_mails (send=done recv=mails) It seems like the remote server has troubles to reach our local server but if i do a stupid ping i'm not losing anything. Maybe is there something am i missing? I thought that it could be related to a MTU problem but i'm not so sure and i've increased MTU on the routers involved in routing process without success. I wa missing that both servers are behind a load balancer wich is in our local DC. Can you give me some hints? Regards, Paolo -- Paolo Daniele Intendo s.r.l.

Potential bug: Assumption that POSIX time functions do not clobber errno
by Florian Weimer 13 Jul '21

13 Jul '21

We accidentally ran the dovecot 2.3.14 testsuite on a host where clock_gettime (and probably time and gettimeofday) succeed, but set errno to ENOSYS. This behavior is unusual, but permitted by POSIX: successful function calls can overwrite errno, as long as they don't set it to 0. The relevant log excerpt looks like this: make[3]: Entering directory '/builddir/build/BUILD/dovecot-2.3.14/src/master' for bin in test-auth-client test-auth-master test-master-login-auth; do \ if ! ./$bin; then exit 1; fi; \ done test-common.c:200: Assert failed: suppress == TRUE connection refused: run (ret == -1) .................................. : ok: Connection failed CLIENT: Error: auth-client: conn unix:./auth-client-test: connect(./auth-client-test) failed: Function not implemented connection refused ................................................... : FAILED connection timed out: run (ret == -1) ................................ : ok: Connection failed connection timed out: timeout ........................................ : ok connection timed out ................................................. : ok bad version: run (ret == -1) ......................................... : ok: Connection failed bad version .......................................................... : ok disconnect version: run (ret == -1) .................................. : ok: Internal failure disconnect version ................................................... : ok auth PLAIN disconnect: run (ret < 0) ................................. : ok auth PLAIN disconnect ................................................ : ok auth PLAIN reconnect: run (ret < 0) .................................. : ok auth PLAIN reconnect ................................................. : ok auth PLAIN failure: run (ret < 0) .................................... : ok auth PLAIN failure ................................................... : ok auth PLAIN success: run (ret == 0) ................................... : ok auth PLAIN success ................................................... : ok auth LOGIN failure 1: run (ret < 0) .................................. : ok auth LOGIN failure 1 ................................................. : ok auth LOGIN failure 2: run (ret < 0) .................................. : ok auth LOGIN failure 2 ................................................. : ok auth LOGIN success: run (ret == 0) ................................... : ok auth LOGIN success ................................................... : ok auth PLAIN parallel failure: run (ret < 0) ........................... : ok auth PLAIN parallel failure .......................................... : ok auth PLAIN parallel success: run (ret == 0) .......................... : ok auth PLAIN parallel success .......................................... : ok auth LOGIN parallel failure 1: run (ret < 0) ......................... : ok auth LOGIN parallel failure 1 ........................................ : ok auth LOGIN parallel failure 2: run (ret < 0) ......................... : ok auth LOGIN parallel failure 2 ........................................ : ok auth LOGIN parallel success: run (ret == 0) .......................... : ok auth LOGIN parallel success .......................................... : ok 1 / 49 tests failed make[3]: Leaving directory '/builddir/build/BUILD/dovecot-2.3.14/src/master' “Function not implemented” suggests that dovecot somehow used the clock_gettime (or gettimeofday) ENOSYS error instead of the expected ECONNREFUSED error code. Unfortunately, I have not figured out where this exactly happens. I don't expect that the problematic glibc build escapes to the wild It was a glibc 2.34 development snapshot, and this particular source of ENOSYS errors is gone again. So fixing this is not urgent. Thanks, Florian

move mails between mailboxes
by Tom Doenen 13 Jul '21

13 Jul '21

Hello, i am using dovecot 2.3.4.1 I am tyring to make a script using the doveadm move command to move old emails into a subfolder of the users INBOX ; say all mails from 2016 into INBOX/2016. Selecting and moving is not the issue; everything works just i am amazed that the (test) mail client Thunderbird downloads all mails in INBOX/2016 after the move. When i make an IMAP move of all 2016-mails in Thunderbird; mails are moved between the mailboxes without any mails being (re-)downloaded. So what am i missing here? Thank for the tip :) Kind regards, Tom the doveadm move debug output is : Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules Debug: Module loaded:

[ENHANCEMENT] Doveadm HTTP API and the mail-crypt plugin
by Kevin N. 13 Jul '21

13 Jul '21

Hello everybody, I was wondering, are there any plans for the near future to include the mail-crypt plugin related functions, like changing the user key password, into the doveadm http api? It would probably be possible to implement it in a more secure way than any other external ad-hoc solution. Wouldn't it? Cheers, K.

getting rid of the passwd file unknown user messages

I have configured a userdb file, so I can test with some accounts and override settings. But it is a bit annoying getting unkown user messages for the majority of accounts not in this userdb. Is there a way to skip this reporting? dovecot: auth: passwd-file(aaaaaaaaaaaa,X.X.X.X,<lGapvOzGS5tNPz8/>): unknown user

High Availability Dovecot / Roundcube / PostfixAdmin ?
