[Dovecot] quota warning issue

16 Feb '09

Hello to all, I'm using version 1.1.11 of dovecot. I set the quota using the following configuration: in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf quota = maildir:%u quota_warning = storage=75%% /root/quota-warning.sh 75 %u in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf user_query = SELECT concat('/var/vmail/', maildir) as home, concat('maildir:/var/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 1000 AS uid, 12 AS gid, concat('*:storage=', ROUND(quota/1000)) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' ## password_query = SELECT username as user, password, concat('/var/vmail/', maildir) as home, concat('maildir:/var/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 1000 AS uid, 12 AS gid, concat('*:storage=', ROUND(quota/1000)) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.25-hardened-r11 x86_64 Gentoo base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/mail.log info_log_path: /var/log/mail.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen(default): *:143 listen(imap): *:143 listen(pop3): *:110 ssl_listen(default): *:993 ssl_listen(imap): *:993 ssl_listen(pop3): *:995 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 1000 last_valid_uid: 1000 mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %v.%u pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: user: nobody verbose: yes passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: mail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: mail plugin: quota: maildir:%u quota_warning: storage=75%% /root/quota-warning.sh 75 %u sieve: /var/vmail/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve The warning is not delivered to users.

[Dovecot] unkillable imap process(es) with high CPU-usage
by Arno Wald 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Hello, I am having a problem with my dovecot-daemon. It is forking one or more (I saw up to perhaps 8 of them) imap processes under my user name. These processes are consuming a lot of CPU time and are not killable: > PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND > 8616 arno 20 0 2900 1600 1204 R 98 0.2 1196:38 imap Stopping dovecot does not quit these processes. Killing them (even "kill -9" as root) is not possible. The only solution to get rid of them is to reboot. I have found a mailing list post of one who seemed to have the same problem. He solved it by upgrading to version 1.1. But in my case this did not help. Is this a known problem? What could I check or do? My system: very up to date debian/sid (sidux) kernel 2.6.27-8.slh.1-sidux-686 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 4300 @ 1.80GHz Filesystem: ext3fs tried dovecot from sid: 1:1.0.15-2.3 tried dovecot from experimental: 1:1.1.2-3 My dovecot.conf is the original debian configuration with only one line changed into: protocols = imaps # dovecot -n # 1.1.2: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_privileged_group: mail auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd I am using dovecot locally on my system with me as the only user. As client I am using thunderbird alias icedove 2.0.0.17-1. Icedove retrieves the Mails from another imap server and sorts them into Maildir-folders in dovecot. I do not know when the imap-process are going mad. It happens after the system (and the mail-client) is up for a while. Do you need more information? Thanks, Arno

[Dovecot] great disappearing email mystery
by dhottinger＠harrisonburg.k12.va.us 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Have there been any issues with dovecot and using outlook express (imap) as an email client? I have had a couple of users come up with random missing emails. Im trying to figure out if it is user error, or something wacky in my mailserver. I cant find anything telling in maillog files or my messages. Dovecot version is 1.0.3. Its ok to reply to me, I get list messages digest. thanks, ddh -- Dwayne Hottinger Network Administrator Harrisonburg City Public Schools "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." -- Albert Einstein "The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in times of moral crisis, preserved their neutrality." -- Dante

We are having the same problem. It's not a problem with imap, only with pop3. We're using deliver as the MDA. We're also using flock() locking for the mbox: is that what everyone else is using as well? Migrating our servers to maildir globally is also not an option for us. In some cases, even convincing customers to use IMAP isn't going to work. One problem which might be making this worse than it needs to be, is the fact that mbox_lock_flock in mbox-lock.c is not using a blocking flock(); instead, it's polling for a non-blocking lock. This technique can cause lock starvation, if another process is dropping the lock and picking it back up again frequently: other processes will only see the lock as being available if they happen to poll for the lock at just the right instant. A better technique to use here, if it's adequately cross-platform, would be to set an alarm() for the max_wait_time, and use a blocking flock(). If the alarm times out and you don't have a lock, it's a timeout. In the meantime, you're guaranteed to eventually get the lock, if it is dropped. That said: I'm not sure whether this will solve our problem in practice. Why doesn't this happen with imap? Why can't we make pop3 do what imap does? Even if it's inefficient, it's better than hanging all incoming mail delivery while deliver eats up our local concurrency limits. Thanks! Alan Ferrency pair Networks, Inc. alan(a)pair.com

[Dovecot] Smooth mailbox to maildir migration
by Luciano Mannucci 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Hi all, I have a postfix+procmail+dovecot installation, now running basicaly on pop3 hence mailbox format, with few thousand users and less than twenty gigabytes mail. I need to move all of them to maildir, to take advantage of IMAP subfolders that do not work with mbox format (so I'm told :). Of course I cannot safely stop the service for more than a bunch of seconds... What I'm about to do: create a second dovecot instance to cope with imap client configured for maildir (and possibly pop3 on another port for those using both), which means a dovecot launched with -c /path/to/alternate.conf and a new /etc/init.d/dovecot2-theRevenge having the proper -i option given to startproc in order to make it ignore the other instance. for each user: convert the mailbox with some sort of mb2mb (which is the better one?) create a .procmailrc with a proper DEFAULT= bearing the magic trailing slash indicating maildir to procmail for each converted user. And I'm done... Have I forgotten something? Is there a better way? Any one else tryed such a thing? Cheers to all, luciano. -- /"\ /Via A.

[Dovecot] Weird Dovecot 1.1.6 + pop3s certificate issues
by Bernhard Schmidt 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Hello everyone, I've been asked by a colleague to have a look at some extremely weird dovecot SSL issue they are seeing on one of the student mailservers. They are running dovecot 1.1.6 (yes, I know, a bit old ...) on SLES 10.2 x86_64 with imap(+starttls), imaps, pop3(+starttls) and pop3s enabled. Every couple of weeks the pop3s and pop3+starttls part bail out out. Clients can't connect, when you try openssl s_client you get this: 15960:error:0407006A:rsa routines:RSA_padding_check_PKCS1_type_1:block type is not 01:rsa_pk1.c:100: 15960:error:04067072:rsa routines:RSA_EAY_PUBLIC_DECRYPT:padding check failed:rsa_eay.c:699: 15960:error:1408D07B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_KEY_EXCHANGE:bad signature:s3_clnt.c:1414: server logs don't show much except for various SSL_accept() errors, including TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:1409441B:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert decrypt error imaps and imap+starttls work fine during the whole time (and always have), although they are much more used. Restarting dovecot fixes the issue for a couple of weeks. Does anyone have an idea where to start debugging? As far as I understand the whole SSL_accept() thing is a giant blackbox for Dovecot, but how comes it only affects POP3? dovecot -n (paths and addresses altered, not sure how much I can reveal without getting shot): # 1.1.6: /mnt//usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.16.60-0.25-smp x86_64 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 # (x86_64) protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen(default): [ipv6]:143, ipv4:143 listen(imap): [ipv6]:143, ipv4:143 listen(pop3): [ipv6]:110, ipv4:110 ssl_listen(default): [ipv6]:993, ipv4:993 ssl_listen(imap): [ipv6]:993, ipv4:993 ssl_listen(pop3): [ipv6]:995, ipv4:995 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /mnt//usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /mnt//usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /mnt//usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_process_per_connection: no login_max_connections: 128 max_mail_processes: 2500 mail_uid: campus mail_gid: lmu mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/home/something/indexes/%-1.1n/%n mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mail_executable(default): /mnt//usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /mnt//usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /mnt//usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /mnt//usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /mnt//usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /mnt//usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xv%08Xu namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes auth default: worker_max_request_count: 500 passdb: driver: ldap args: /mnt//usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: prefetch userdb: driver: ldap args: /mnt//usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: campus group: lmu plugin: quota: maildir quota_rule: Trash:ignore quota_rule2: *:storage=512M Anyone having an idea? bernhard

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot-antispam does not work
by Jehan Pagès 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Hi all, just to say that finally the patch of Marcin worked great. Just my configuration is different from yours to get it work: antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature antispam_trash = trash;Trash;Deleted Items antispam_spam = SPAM;Junk antispam_dspam_binary = /usr/bin/dspam antispam_dspam_args = --client;--source=error;--user;%u antispam_mail_tmpdir = /tmp The difference here is in the syntax. You write "--user=somemail" though in the manual, it is written "--user somemail". But also you were proposing 2 lines "antispam_dspam_args" though in all my tests, when I was doing such a thing, the second line seemed to override the first (in the launch logs, only the second line was displayed, so I guess...). Are you sure that it works exactly the way you intend to, Marcin? And that the "--source=error" (your first line) is indeed added as a parameter to the call of dspam? For the patch to the dovecot-antispam, probably it should not be integrated "as is", but I guess that the return code of call_dspam function must probably be checked and fixed if the call can succeed but still give a failure return code. I set Johannes as a main recipient, maybe you will see this email. Bye and thanks all.
