[Dovecot] Quota crashing w/ gdb backtrace
by Dean Brooks 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hi, I'm still running into consistent crashing when moving files between folders when dirsize quotas are enabled. This is running Dovecot1.0rc19. Please let me know if I'm posting this to the wrong list. Here is the gdb backtrace: #0 0x377fc in mbox_file_seek (mbox=0xc8560, view=0xc94c0, seq=1, deleted_r=0xffbef157) at mbox-file.c:167 167 if (data == NULL) { (gdb) bt #0 0x377fc in mbox_file_seek (mbox=0xc8560, view=0xc94c0, seq=1, deleted_r=0xffbef157) at mbox-file.c:167 #1 0x39684 in mbox_mail_seek (mail=0xc73a8) at mbox-mail.c:69 #2 0x398f0 in mbox_mail_get_physical_size (_mail=0xc73a8) at mbox-mail.c:163 #3 0x6b880 in mail_get_physical_size (mail=0xc73a8) at mail.c:75 #4 0x7f933a74 in quota_default_try_alloc (ctx=0xc9a58, mail=0xc73a8, too_large_r=0xffbef397) at quota.c:434 #5 0x7f933654 in quota_try_alloc (ctx=0x0, mail=0xc73a8, too_large_r=0xffbef397) at quota.c:301 #6 0x7f9370c8 in quota_check (t=0xc57f0, mail=0xc73a8) at quota-storage.c:120 #7 0x7f9374d0 in quota_save_finish (ctx=0xc7790, dest_mail=0xc73a8) at quota-storage.c:222 #8 0x6cb64 in mailbox_save_finish (_ctx=0xffbef504, dest_mail=0xc73a8) at mail-storage.c:538 #9 0x6ba2c in mail_storage_copy (t=0xc57f0, mail=0xc5c00, flags=MAIL_SEEN, keywords=0x0, dest_mail=0xc73a8) at mail-copy.c:38 #10 0x7f9371e4 in quota_copy (t=0xc57f0, mail=0xc5c00, flags=MAIL_SEEN, keywords=0x0, dest_mail=0x0) at quota-storage.c:148 #11 0x6cbbc in mailbox_copy (t=0xc57f0, mail=0xc5c00, flags=MAIL_SEEN, keywords=0x0, dest_mail=0x0) at mail-storage.c:553 #12 0x1e6b0 in fetch_and_copy (t=0xc57f0, srcbox=0xc57f0, search_args=0x8) at cmd-copy.c:34 #13 0x1e804 in cmd_copy (cmd=0xba6c4) at cmd-copy.c:95 #14 0x21eec in cmd_uid (cmd=0xba6c4) at cmd-uid.c:19 #15 0x22ab8 in client_handle_input (cmd=0xba6c4) at client.c:331 #16 0x22a3c in client_handle_input (cmd=0xba6c4) at client.c:388 #17 0x22bb0 in _client_input (context=0xba680) at client.c:428 #18 0x80e88 in io_loop_handler_run (ioloop=0xb7de8) at ioloop-poll.c:199 #19 0x80794 in io_loop_run (ioloop=0xb7de8) at ioloop.c:281 #20 0x2b3d0 in main (argc=0, argv=0xffbefa7c, envp=0xffbefa8c) at main.c:280 The "data" variable defined as: (gdb) print data $1 = (void *) 0xd9354 (gdb) print &data $3 = (void **) 0xffbef0dc I've noticed that the copy (during a move) *does* complete correctly. However, the original files never gets deleted, so I assume that this crash is occuring during the deletion in the original folder. -- Dean Brooks dean(a)iglou.com

[Dovecot] broken attachments with pop3
by Robert Schetterer 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hi all, ive just upgrade to rc21 ( so i dont know perhaps this report failure is fixed with this release ) i have reports from users that attachments get broken ( with rc19, dont know about before ) with some accounts , which where downloaded via a pop3 service to a exchange server, but in fact nothing is broken when looking with imap to the mailboxes Has anyone an idea, i havent any failure logs about that, is there a parameter which makes logging verbose to such failures? -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen Best Regards Robert Schetterer https://www.schetterer.org Munich/Bavaria/Germany -- Diese Nachricht wurde auf Viren und andere gefährliche Inhalte untersucht und ist - aktuelle Virenscanner vorausgesetzt - sauber.

[Dovecot] SSL error is it due to a self certified certificate?
by Matthew Bickerton 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hi I have set up dovecot with a self signed SSL certificate, created with the mkcert.sh script. Now I see the following in the log: pop3-login: SSL_accept() failed: error:14094416:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert certificate unknown [206.124.112.22] pop3-login: Disconnected: rip=206.124.112.22, lip=204.3.153.71, TLS handshake Is this caused by my self certified certificates. Or is it another problem? Thanks Matthew

[Dovecot] mail_log plugin, log throttling and killing of the IMAP child.
by Tan Shao Yi 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hi, Just a quick check, was wondering if anyone is experiencing problems mass deleting/purging mails from a folder? I am on RC19 with the mail_log plugin enabled. Quite often, when a mass deletion/purge is attempted, we receive the following message in the dovecot logs: dovecot: Feb 01 11:36:27 Error: IMAP(userid): Sending log messages too fast, throttling.. Sometimes this is accompanied by a message like the following and the user will be prompted with an error message saying that the connection has been abruptly terminated. dovecot: Feb 01 11:34:41 Error: child 3908 (imap) killed with signal 11 Is anyone experencing similar behaviour? Cheers, Tan Shao Yi

[Dovecot] Dovecot Wiki: Orphaned page on mbox locking
by Jim Garrison 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

The following shows up in the "orphaned page" list of the Wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxLocking?action=show&redirect=MboxSoftwareLocks Does the description of Dovecot mbox locking still apply to current versions? If yes, it should be linked from the "Troubleshooting" page. -- Jim Garrison (jhg(a)acm.org) PGP Keys at http://www.jhmg.net RSA 0x04B73B7F DH 0x70738D88

[Dovecot] unknown namespace with Mac OS client
by Francisco Reyes 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

I see in this thread, http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-April/012918.html, that others had simmilar problems with Mac OS client. Anyone got a working Dovecot + Mac OS setup? In particular with RC15. Our setup default_mail_env = maildir:Maildir namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } Would it help to use hidden = yes ?? Reading the description doesn't say much to me.. in particular I guess I am not familiar with the IMAP protocol to appreciate the explanation in the config file. The server is getting data originally coming from a Courier setup. I wrote a couple of scripts to convert files names and delete old setup files. So far we have moved 3 domains to this machine and the only one with the problem so far is the customer with the Mac client. Unless we can solve this soon, we will have to move him back to a courier server ... until we can figure how to solve this problem.

[Dovecot] Push IMAP
by Paul 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hearing that today's new Apple device is going to work with push IMAP from Yahoo, my first thought is to wonder whether an extension might make it possible for a Dovecot server to push its own IMAP in a compatible way. Paul

[Dovecot] command line options
by AJ Weber 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Is the wiki up-to-date on the command-line arguments that can be passed to dovecot? I don't like the fact that I have to hard-code the "listen address" in the config file. Even though it shouldn't change (rarely if ever), when I have a multi-homed host, I need to specify only one of the interfaces. Would it be possible to either: 1) Make --listen into an optional, command-line argument; or 2) Make the listen config-file parameter understand interface names instead of just IP Addresses? (Like "eth0") -AJ

[Dovecot] beta8: core, signal 11
by Jeff A. Earickson 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Timo, The gdb analysis is attached. It looks like memory got seriously stomped in this core dump. There was no assert or other useful information in the syslog. My setup: Solaris 9, imap and imaps, mbox format, INBOXes NFS mounted, index files on local ufs filesystem, beta8 configured like so: VERSION=1.0.beta8 CC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot.$VERSION \ --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-ssldir=/opt/openssl/ssl \ --with-sql-drivers=no \ --disable-ipv6 \ > configure.out Jeff Earickson Colby College
