[Dovecot] Quota exceeded message
by Timo Sirainen 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

I just realized that "quota" word probably doesn't mean much to many non-native english speakers. Do even non-technical native speakers understand what "Quota exceeded" really means? It's sent by quota plugin, currently in two different situations: 1) To the user doing the operation via IMAP COPY/APPEND. 2) More importantly: If deliver rejects the mail, it's sent to the sender. Here are some ideas for improvements: "Mail storage disk quota exceeded" "User's mail storage disk quota exceeded" "Quota exceeded - not enough disk storage capasity for the user" Any better ideas? I think it should mention "quota" word in any case so that people who understand it would know immediately what the error message is about. The current code doesn't allow cleanly using separate messages for 1) and 2), so I'd prefer to use the same one. But if you've a great suggestion for them separately I could do it.

[Dovecot] Stupid question: Need to increase some connection limits
by Jon Callas 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 When I switch from one network to another, I sometimes get dovecot rejecting my connections. The error I get in the log is similar to: Sep 22 15:23:22 hostname dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded: user=<user>, method=METHOD, rip=1.2.3.4, lip=5.6.7.8 So the question is what parameter increases that?

[Dovecot] authentication issue - dovecot + Mysql
by Reinhard Sanjeet Lal 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hi, I have a FreeBSD 7.0 server with the following version of software's installed: postfix-2.5.4,1 postfixadmin-2.2.1.1 roundcube-0.2.a,1 php5 mysql-server-5.0.67 dovecot-1.1.3_1 Note that pre-reqs for all of the above also has been installed. I have used this guide to walk myself through the setup : http://www.purplehat.org/?page_id=4 My setup uses virtual domain and user style(mostly for hosting provider type) , all stored into the Mysql db, now when I try to telnet to port 110 for pop test or even telnet for IMAP test , I get this error: dovecot: Sep 24 18:51:49 Info: pop3-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<rein>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured note : there are numerous of there errors , but I included only this. Dovecot is not able to authenticate by using the query in its dovecot-sql.conf file. I have tried a lot of tricks by changing the mechanism MD5 , PLAIN LOGIN etc, but no avail. Please , could someone assist me in solving this issue, not that I can send and receive emails but pop and IMAP seems not to work , so is the webmail functionality .

[Dovecot] cyrus2courrier mass migration
by Mathieu Kretchner 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hello, So we've chosen to use dovecot as our imap mail server and replace our old cyrus server ! BUT : I would like to do a conversion of my imap accounts (and keep all theirs characteristics) from cyrus-imapd-2.2.12 in cyrus format to dovecot 1.1.3 in courrier format. I've tried those 3 tools : cyrus2courrier.1.5.ts cyrus2courier-1.3z4 imapsync (works well but very slow and should not be a true solution) But nothing is working to keep the seen/unseen flag (expect imapsync) ! I know my cyrus version is too "recent" but do you have any idea how could I do this migration ? A second problem is that I have 600 Go of imap account to migrate, if you've any clue on how to do a migration without loosing a lot of availability, I would be happy to read you ! Tanks in advance.

[Dovecot] Bug? Expunging Symlinked Maildir w/ Lazy_expunge Enabled
by Rich at Whidbey Telecom 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hi all, Using Dovecot 1.0.3 on RedHat Enterprise 5 (kernel 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5PAE), and NFS storage, we symlinked a Maildir folder: /mailstore/user/Maildir/.Junk -> /junkstore/user/Junkmaildir Everything works fine, until we try to expunge, which produces: A04 NO BUG: Unknown internal error This only happens if "lazy_expunge" is enabled: mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl lazy_expunge lazy_expunge = .EXPUNGED/ .EXPUNGED/ .EXPUNGED/ Lazy_expunge works great on non-symlinked folders. We tried version 1.1 alpha2, which actually crashes in this scenario. The only fix we've found is to disable "lazy_expunge". Attached is our "dovecot -n" config. Anyone have an idea what might be causing this or a workaround? Thanks!

[Dovecot] Corrupted transaction log file / record size too small
by Steven Winikoff 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

I recently upgradeded dovecot on one of our servers from version 1.0.10 to version 1.1.3. Ever since, we've been seeing occasional errors similar to this sequence (with the username and IP addresses elided): Sep 30 00:09:56 alcor dovecot: pop3-login: Login: [4954], XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN Sep 30 00:09:56 alcor dovecot: wrapper[5006]: pop3, XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN Sep 30 00:09:56 alcor dovecot: pop3[5006] XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN: Corrupted transaction log file /home/XXXX/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: record size too small (type=0x40, offset=12224, size=0) Sep 30 00:09:56 alcor dovecot: pop3[5006] XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN: Couldn't init INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2008-09-30 00:09:56] Sep 30 00:09:56 alcor dovecot: pop3[5006] XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN: Mailbox init failed top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0, xfer=0/95 System and dovecot configuration details are appended. I saw an archived mailing list message from January 2007 which may be relevant (www.mailinglistarchive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg07908.html) in which the original poster's symptoms disappeared when he recompiled dovecot with gcc-3.4.0 instead of using gcc-3.1. In my case I used gcc-4.1.2, so I don't know if that's still relevant (and if so, what other version to use instead). In the output of `dovecot -n` which follows, /local/pkg/dovecot/localmods/wrapper.imap is a locally written program which registers the user's IMAP or POP connection in the lastlog file and also ensures that the user's shell is considered valid. I'd be surprised if this is relevant, but I've appended the source code in case it may be (and/or in case anyone else may find it useful!). I've been working around the problem by deleting the contents of ~user/.imap for affected users, but I'd really prefer to fix it properly. :-) Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

[Dovecot] Unknown dict module: mysql
by Oli Schacher 05 Oct '08

Hi I'm trying to set up the dict/expiry plugins, but the dict server always tells me it can't find the modules although they should be there and compiled in. System is: Centos 5.2 64 bit, Using rpm from http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/ dovecot --version 1.1.3 Relevant config: dict { quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot-dict-quota.conf expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot-dict-expire.conf } plugin { quota = dict:::proxy::quotadict quota_rule = *:storage=10M:messages=1000 quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quotawarning.py 95 quota_warning2 = storage=75%% /usr/local/bin/quotawarning.py 75 acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot-acls expire = Trash 30 Trash/* 30 Spam 14 expire_dict = proxy::expire } cat /etc/dovecot-dict-quota.conf connect = host=localhost dbname=*** user=*** password=*** table = quota select_field = current where_field = path username_field = username Logoutput: Starting Dovecot Imap: ILoading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap IModule loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/lib01_acl_plugin.so IModule loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so IModule loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so IModule loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap/lib20_expire_plugin.so IEffective uid=65534, gid=65534, home= IQuota root: name= backend=dict args=:proxy::quotadict Idict quota: user=dump-capability, uri=proxy::quotadict, enforcing=0 IQuota rule: root= mailbox=* bytes=10485760 (0%) messages=1000 (0%) IQuota warning: bytes=9961472 (95%) messages=0 (0%) command=/usr/local/bin/quotawarning.py 95 IQuota warning: bytes=7864320 (75%) messages=0 (0%) command=/usr/local/bin/quotawarning.py 75 When I try to use the dict (by moving mails via IMAP or by passing through the lda) I get: Oct 1 10:52:15 inet2 deliver(oli(a)terrabyte.me): Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda Oct 1 10:52:15 inet2 deliver(oli(a)terrabyte.me): Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/lib10_quota_plugin.so Oct 1 10:52:15 inet2 deliver(oli(a)terrabyte.me): Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/lib20_expire_plugin.so Oct 1 10:52:15 inet2 deliver(oli(a)terrabyte.me): Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so [...] Oct 1 10:52:15 inet2 dovecot: dict: Unknown dict module: mysql Oct 1 10:52:15 inet2 dovecot: dict: Failed to initialize dictionary 'quotadict' Oct 1 10:52:15 inet2 deliver(oli(a)terrabyte.me): read(/var/run/dovecot/dict-server) failed: Remote disconnected Oct 1 10:52:15 inet2 deliver(oli(a)terrabyte.me): Internal quota calculation error I also ran the dict procy through strace to check where it searches for those modules, and I think it finds the correct files: strace ./dict 2>&1 | grep mysql -A 1 open("/usr/lib64/dovecot/dict/libdriver_mysql.so", O_RDONLY) = 8 read(8, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0`\27\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 832) = 832 -- open("/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.15", O_RDONLY) = 8 read(8, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0\320\2\202\2178\0\0\0"..., 832) = 832 Could anyone give me a hint what I could be doing wrong?

[Dovecot] Expunge working on folders, but not main mailbox
by Xev Gittler 05 Oct '08

I've recently installed dovecot, and while the behavior on folders is correct, the inbox cannot be expunged. This is 1.1.3 running on Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) on ext3 filesystems, using both thunderbird and squirrel clients. Any assistance would be appreciated. X # 1.1.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf info_log_path: /tmp/dovecot.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s 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 mail_location: mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_debug: yes 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 auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd plugin: mail_log_events: all
