[Dovecot] lately pop3 with #define DEBUG needs GDB=1
by Diego Liziero 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

I'm not sure when this happened. In yesterday dovecot-1.1 hg if pop3 is compiled with DEBUG defined, it needs GDB=1 otherwise it ends with: Panic: Leaked file fd 4: dev 104.2 inode 3342766 Not sure if this can be caused by the fact that I call pop3 with a bash script. protocol pop3 { mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3.sh inside I've something like if [ x`id -un` = "xmyuser" -o x`id -un` = "xtestdovecot" ] then exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-new-test-release else exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 [..] (gdb) bt full #0 0x006ed402 in __kernel_vsyscall () No symbol table info available. #1 0x0043ed20 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 No symbol table info available. #2 0x00440631 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6 No symbol table info available. #3 0x080e44a8 in default_fatal_finish (type=LOG_TYPE_PANIC, status=0) at failures.c:150 backtrace = 0x982b160 "/usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 [0x80e4486] -> /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3(default_error_handler+0) [0x80e4506] -> /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3(i_fatal+0) [0x80e4600] -> /usr/libexec/dovecot/. #4 0x080e4506 in default_fatal_handler (type=LOG_TYPE_PANIC, status=0, format=0x810f568 "Leaked file fd %d: dev %s.%s inode %s", args=0xbfee57a4 "\004") at failures.c:162 No locals. #5 0x080e4600 in i_panic (format=0x810f568 "Leaked file fd %d: dev %s.%s inode %s") at failures.c:197 args = 0xbfee57a4 "\004" #6 0x080e519d in fd_debug_verify_leaks (first_fd=4, last_fd=1024) at fd-close-on-exec.c:71 addr = {family = 58360, u = {ip6 = {in6_u = {u6_addr8 = "\225ï¿½\017\b\a\000\000\000ï¿½XGDï¿½ï¿½\017\b", u6_addr16 = {58005, 2063, 7, 0, 22776, 17479, 58362, 2063}, u6_addr32 = {135258773, 7, 1145526520, 135259130}}}, ip4 = {s_addr = 135258773}}} raddr = {family = 2, u = {ip6 = {in6_u = {u6_addr8 = "\031^ï¿½ï¿½Yï¿½ï¿½Xï¿½\005\021D", u6_addr16 = {24089, 49134, 23028, 49134, 22744, 49134, 4357, 68}, u6_addr32 = {3220069913, 3220068852, 3220068568, 4460805}}}, ip4 = {s_addr = 3220069913}}} port = 4274100 rport = 3220068600 st = {st_dev = 26626, __pad1 = 0, __st_ino = 3342766, st_mode = 33152, st_nlink = 1, st_uid = 0, st_gid = 0, st_rdev = 0, __pad2 = 0, st_size = 6654265, st_blksize = 4096, st_blocks = 13032, st_atim = { tv_sec = 1221681411, tv_nsec = 0}, st_mtim = {tv_sec = 1221683098, tv_nsec = 0}, st_ctim = {tv_sec = 1221683098, tv_nsec = 0}, st_ino = 3342766} old_errno = 9 #7 0x0805c817 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfee5994, envp=0xbfee599c) at main.c:257 No locals.

[Dovecot] two server and dbox
by a.testa＠wifisolution.it 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Dear users, I have a question about the storage dbox. Is it possible to deliver e-mails from two different lda? I would have two independent servers working at the same time on nfs. Is it possible since the e-mails name will be the same? Thanks in advance Alex

[Dovecot] Outlook 2003 and Thunderbird IMAP + getting new headers
by Jan van den Berg 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

Hi, We run 1.1.3 and I use Outlook to connect to my IMAP box and a couple of times per day (randomly) when I click certain folders IMAP will start retrieving ALL headers for that folder again ('retrieving new headers')! I don't understand this. What triggers IMAP to do so, why not just retrieve only the NEW headers? Is it Dovecot or Outlook (probably) and what can be done about this? I already use the Dovecot Outlook workarounds. I have also gotten word that this behavior happens with Thunderbird. This is really a problem causing a lot of load on our storage (I am not the only user). Cheers, Jan

We have home directories on the server. Virtual user's can login (at least I've been able to verify that from using telnet to port 143). Yes the earlier mail was different.

You might need some sort of home directory, but your earlier conf had mail location and home directory pointing to the same place. That location can't be a directory AND a file. Do users have home directories on this server or is it all virtual? Maybe this has more clues; http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

[Dovecot] procmail -> deliver: file too large
by Jim Rosenberg 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

I am using procmail with deliver as recommended on the wiki to send mail snagged by SpamAssassin straight to a spam folder. It seemed to be working fine, but now I'm finding messages like this: Sep 17 12:13:47 hosty deliver(whoey): write() failed with mbox file /var/mail/whoey: File too large I don't think this is a setrlimit problem -- the host operating system is OpenBSD 4.0. My dovecot version is 1.0.13. Is there a maximum size used by deliver? Or is this a procmail problem? It looks like the message is coming from deliver. I don't think this is a postfix problem -- my max message size 33M in postfix. -Thanks, Jim
