[Dovecot] Expire Plugin
by e-frog 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

I was struggling for a while to get the expire plugin to expunge mail. I was using (and still would like to use) PAM as passdb and passwd as userdb but with this I could not get the expire-tool to delete any mails. For debugging purpose I switch to passwd-file as userdb/passdb and enabled mail_debug=yes. 1. passwd-file contains home directory and userdb_mail (->working!) /etc/dovecot/dovecot.users: foo:{plain}xxxx:2004:100::/home/foo::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir root@mail:# dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: maildir: data=~/Maildir Info: maildir++: root=/home/foo/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/foo/Maildir Info: Trash: seq=1 uid=2586: Expunge Info: Trash: timestamp 1220392046 -> 1220451447 2. passwd-file contains home directory only (->not working!) /etc/dovecot/dovecot.users: foo:{plain}xxxx:2004:100::/home/foo root@mail:# dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Info: maildir: data=/root/Maildir Info: maildir++: root=/root/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/root/Maildir Error: stat(/root/Maildir/.Trash/tmp) failed: Permission denied (euid=2005 egid=100) The expire-tool doesn't find foo's mailbox even if mail_location is set global in the configuration file (please see below). This is exactly the same result as when using PAM and passwd. So I guess there is something wrong with user lookup or setting/expanding HOME and MAIL in the expire-tool. root@mail:# dovecot -n # 1.1.3: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/mail/dovecot.log ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_process_size: 16 max_mail_processes: 16 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_process_size: 64 mail_plugins: quota imap_quota expire auth default: passdb: driver: passwd-file args: scheme=plain /etc/dovecot/dovecot.users userdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.users socket: type: listen client: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode: 432 user: dovecot group: mail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 plugin: quota: maildir quota_rule: *:storage=1GB quota_rule2: Trash:storage=10%% expire: Trash 1 Junk 1 expire_dict: proxy::expiredict dict: expiredict: db:/var/lib/dovecot/expire.db

[Dovecot] some errors on 1.1.3
by Karsten Künne 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hi, we recently upgraded dovecot from 1.0.5 to 1.1.3+latest patches. After the upgrade I saw some errors in the logs and I'm not sure whether they're a cause for concern. Our setup is 2 servers running openSUSE 11.0 and a NetApp Filer as storage backend. Following is the config: protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3-login login_max_processes_count: 512 max_mail_processes: 1024 verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 100 mail_location: maildir:~/.Maildir:CONTROL=/var/mailctl/%n:INDEX=/var/mailctl/%n mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/pop3 mail_process_size: 512 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota fts fts_squat imap_alert mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota fts fts_squat imap_alert mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib64/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login gssapi master_user_separator: * passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot/passwd.masterusers master: yes passdb: driver: pam args: dovecot userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 plugin: quota: fs fts: squat fts_squat: partial=4 full=4 The errors we're seeing are: Oct 1 07:39:27 host1 dovecot: IMAP(user1): Invalid transaction log size (83856 vs 83160): /var/mailctl/corey/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log Oct 1 09:14:55 host1 dovecot: IMAP(user2): Broken file /var/mailctl/user2/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist line 15299: UIDs not ordered (206464 > 206464) Oct 1 09:16:43 host1 dovecot: IMAP(user3): Broken file /var/mailctl/user3/.Trash/dovecot-uidlist line 22: UID larger than next_uid (153866 >= 153866) Oct 1 06:03:19 host1 deliver(user2): Corrupted transaction log file /var/mailctl/user2/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log: record size too small (type=0x0, offset=71940, size=0) Oct 1 06:03:19 host1 deliver(user2): Transaction log file /var/mailctl/user2/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log: marked corrupted Oct 1 06:59:45 host1 deliver(user1): Corrupted transaction log file /var/mailctl/user1/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log: Unexpected garbage at EOF Oct 1 07:29:05 host1 dovecot: IMAP(user4): nfs_flush_fcntl: fcntl(/var/mailctl/user4/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache, F_RDLCK) failed: Interrupted system call It only seems to affect a handful of users and they didn't complain so I assume they didn't see any negative effect on the client side. But it would be nice if somebody could explain shortly whether these errors are serious and we should be concerned or if they are harmless.

[Dovecot] v1.2.alpha2 released
by Timo Sirainen 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha2.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/alpha/dovecot-1.2.alpha2.tar.gz.sig Mainly the same fixes as in v1.1.3 -> v1.1.4 plus some more v1.2-specific fixes. Not many people have been testing v1.2 releases. Wonder if there's something I could do to improve that. I guess v1.2 is kind of missing those killer features that would get a lot of people to try it. :) I've slowly started working on replication, but I've been pretty busy with school recently. I'm hoping to become a bit less busy when some of the courses end in a few weeks, but then again I should also write my B.Sc. essay ("Scalable high-performance email setups" in Finnish) before christmas and that'll probably take some time if I want to do it well.

[Dovecot] Mbox problem in 1.1.3 solved in 1.1.4
by Tomas Ögren 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hello. This is just a FYI mail to get the problem (and solution) into a searchable archive.. I ran into the following problem with mbox: Panic: IMAP(XXX): file index-sync.c: line 39 (index_mailbox_set_recent_uid): assertion failed: (seq_range_exists(&ibox->recent_flags, uid)) Which was fully reproducable in 1.1.3, but in the newly released 1.1.4 this does not happen anymore. All is well, birds are singing etc. /Tomas -- Tomas Ögren, stric(a)cs.umu.se, http://www.cs.umu.se/~stric/ `- Student and SysAdmin at Computing Science, University of Umeå

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.1.4 managesieve patch

06 Oct '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm maintainer of managesieve's FreeBSD port. (cc to dovecot's port maintainer) Stephan, do you plan to make available a 1.1.4 specific patch ? Dovecot's port assume that managesieve patch include dovecot's version number: so it may help the port's upgrade process. (seems that 1.1.3's patch is applying smoothly) Another question: I didn't found anything about managesieve support in dovecot 1.2x: - is the patch still required ? - should managesieve server work with dovecot 1.2 in actual state (0.10.3) I'll soon try it on a small setup (FreeBSD+Maildir+fs quotas+managesieve) - -- Geoffroy Desvernay -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjp79sACgkQGbFYzwF8gKrubACfYBDeX88iGNAePPfeut/YksJ4 6zgAoJAmOTvx6fKjNQ4Vs7VWkxFHjMCp =8G2x -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
