[Dovecot] dovecot-antispam: Failed to read mail beginning, Next message unexpectedly lost

Hello, I'm trying to configure the dovecot-antispam plugin. Now I've run into a problem: whenever I try to move/copy a message in/from the spam mailbox, Thunderbird (and also Sylpheed, haven't tried anything else) says: The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: Failed to read mail beginning. and in the logs I get: dovecot: Aug 07 10:41:23 Error: IMAP(username): Next message unexpectedly lost from 337928 dovecot: Aug 07 10:41:23 Error: IMAP(username): Next message unexpectedly lost from 337928 The message is not moved/copied.

[Dovecot] dovecot panic after upgrade 1.0.15 to 1.1.2
by Eric Rostetter 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

I recently upgraded dovecot from 1.0.15 to 1.1.2 and since then I am getting the following types of things in the logs: Aug 21 17:23:13 mail1 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<myuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=172.16.78.20, lip=172.16.78.22 Aug 21 17:24:01 mail1 dovecot: Panic: IMAP(myuser): file index-sync.c: line 39 (index_mailbox_set_recent_uid): assertion failed: (seq_range_exists(&ibox->recent_flags, uid)) Aug 21 17:24:01 mail1 dovecot: IMAP(myuser): Raw backtrace: imap [0x80d25bb] -> imap [0x80d2def] -> imap [0x80d2719] -> imap [0x809edb8] -> imap(index_mailbox_set_recent_seq+0x46) [0x809ee06] -> imap [0x8083183] -> imap [0x8083621] -> imap [0x8083c3c] -> imap(mbox_sync+0x25) [0x80840d5] -> imap [0x807b993] -> imap(mail_index_transaction_commit+0x51) [0x80aee31] -> imap(index_transaction_commit+0x52) [0x809fe32] -> imap(mailbox_transaction_commit_get_uids+0x34) [0x80a2874] -> imap(cmd_copy+0x16a) [0x805b19a] -> imap [0x806068e] -> imap [0x8060536] -> imap [0x80606ea] -> imap [0x8060791] -> imap(client_input+0x67) [0x8060897] -> imap(io_loop_handler_run+0x112) [0x80daa92] -> imap(io_loop_run+0x2f) [0x80d9e4f] -> imap(main+0x61) [0x8068d81] -> /lib/tls/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xda) [0x12679a] -> imap(__fxstat64+0x6d) [0x8059ed1] Did I miss something in the upgrade process, or is this a bug that has yet to be fixed? This seems to be happening to many various users for various reasons. But I can verify for Andreas M. Kirchwitz who noted the other day that one of the easiest way to produce it seems to be "saving" or "moving" between folders in (Al)Pine... If Timo wants, I can send the dovecot.(index|index.cache|index.log) files for when this happens, but I would need to know what to send (both the folder being moved from and folder being moved to, or just one of them) and anything else needed, and the email to send them to. Sending the folder itself might be problematic, but might be possible. If we can't get this resolved by early next week, I might have to downgrade back to the previous version... -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin Go Longhorns!

[Dovecot] Simplest (static?) build & config for loopback access?
by FZiegler 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

I am installing Dovecot for the sole purpose of maintaining a local mail store that I could 1) manage with any client; 2) keep duplicated on several machines, using Unison; 3) hopefully, index using Spotlight (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mh-e.user/1308 ...). In particular, I have no intention to allow connections from anywhere but localhost. I've followed the instructions at http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/Rootless and it all seems to work quite well, but I'm not sure about 3 things: 1) Initially Dovecot would not respond to Thunderbird ("Could not connect to server localhost; the connection was refused"). Eventually, a "Trying ::1..." in the telnet log (see below) made me find hidden pref "network.dns.disableIPv6" and set it to FALSE. Which solves the problem -- but is this really needed, or have I done something wrong? 2) The Dovecot I built on OS X 10.4 appears to work fine when copied on another Mac running 10.5. Now, I'd love to avoid installing developer tools on both machines, but I fear this an illusion (some libraries are changing under us, e.g. libiconv.2.2.0.dylib --> libiconv.2.4.0.dylib). Does this mean I should try a static build? If so, what are the flags and how do I go about specifying a minimal set of libraries to include for my purposes? 3) Probably offtopic here, but has anyone seen a better way to index mail in Spotlight than just as plain text? E.g. to hook up Apple's importer (Mail.mdimporter in /System/Library/Spotlight) or Thunderbird's (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290057) which I guess can better deal with quoted-printable and other encodings?

[Dovecot] POP3 UID file problem
by naslov naslov 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hello. I upgraded from RHRL4 to RHEL5 and my dovecot version changed from dovecot-0.99.11-8.EL4 to dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5. I also transferred all /home directories of users. The problem is that users have POP3 mail client set that it leaves mail on mailserver for 30 days. When they try to download messages from new server, client (Thinderbird) want to download all messages for those 30 days (he of course already has all those messages..). I suspect UID POP3 database index file format has changed.. How to "convert" dovecot 0.99 POP3 UID files to those used in newer version or how to go around that? Thanks for answering, naslov [root@mercury5 INBOX]# dovecot -n # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key 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 mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

[Dovecot] Quota plugin
by Thiago Monaco Papageorgiou 22 Aug '08

22 Aug '08

Hi! I have some questions about quota plugin. I have taken quota-maildir as example. What does the function maildir_quota_root_get_resources? When it is called? I have tested including some log messages, but it wasn't appears in the log file. When dovecot calls this function? It is an important function?
