Dovecot v1.1.alpha4 imap after some time stops responding. It can not be restarted as /etc/init.d/dovecot restart killall imap also does not help killall -9 imap and then restart does help in log I see message (repeted periodically) that Sep 12 09:50:02 localhost postfix/local[22533]: C7057753B6: to=<username@domain> , relay=local, delay=5195, delays=5156/0.01/0/39, dsn=4.2.0, status=deferr ed (cannot update mailbox /home/username/Mailbox for user username. unable to lo ck for exclusive access: Resource temporarily unavailable) lsof -n shows that the file is is open by imap process.

[Dovecot] Datehandling bug?
by Ed W 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hi, I am testing dovecot 1.0.3 alongside my existing courier installation and a number of my emails are heading to the top of the inbox even though they are rather old. Closer inspection shows that my mailclient (Thunderbird on Win32) is showing me some screwey dates for a number of messages. One example is an email which says: Date: 2007-08-21 11:42:43 But in TB I see the date shown as only: 03:27 ie just a time and no date OK, the date above is clearly not an RFC date, but any idea why this is showing up only under Dovecot? Is it a dovecot date handling issue? Cheers Ed W

[Dovecot] Deliver parameter problem
by Umut Arus 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hello, I'm using dovecot-1.0.5 with postfix. I have to use deliver from procmail because I have some filters. There is no document about how to using deliver parameters (-d) other than http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA . If I set -d parameters manually as a username everything is ok. I can not set users' mail quota (don't lookup) with mysql db if I haven't set -d parameter as receipt username in procmail. How can I describe user (-d) parameter's variable in procmail? Procmail configuration, :0 | /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f $blabla -d $blabla2 Output of the configuration, # 1.0.5: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s listen: 10.1.1.168 ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.cert.pem ssl_key_file: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.key.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/dovecot/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: maildir:%h/Maildir:INDEX=/var/no-quotas/index/%u:CONTROL=/var/no-quotas/control/%u mail_debug: yes mail_full_filesystem_access: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/dovecot/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xv%08Xu namespace: type: private separator: / location: maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/no-quotas/index/%u:CONTROL=/var/no-quotas/control/%u inbox: yes namespace: type: private separator: / prefix: mail/ location: maildir:~/Maildir/.mail:INDEX=/var/no-quotas/index/%u:CONTROL=/var/no-quotas/control/%u auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 438 plugin: quota: maildir:storage=500000:ignore=trash regards,
