[Dovecot] Help needed
by Ricardo Dias Campos 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

Hi. Days ago I sent a message to this list asking for help on a problem that seemed to me to be old: dovecot hangs and dovecot-auth posts log messages like: Nov 16 17:04:39 netuno dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Resource temporarily unavailable Nov 16 17:04:42 netuno dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Resource temporarily unavailable Unfortunatelly when this happens the only way to recover is to restart dovecot. After I while I begun to clean the dovecot-auth processes (defunct or not) that remain in the process list and the cycle of running/hunging restart from 1 hang a day until it reaches 1 hang each 10 minutes, when I kill dovecot-auth again. I've seen some days ago some messages related to this problem but they were inconclusive, meaning that they didn't point to a solution. Any help is welcome. Thanks. Ricardo

[Dovecot] LDA Question
by Jeff 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

I need some advice about replacing maildrop with the Dovecot LDA. I need to replicate a setup that uses postfix+maildrop+spamassassin. We'll be using Dovecot 1rc13. In the current setup, maildrop reads a file called .mailfilter in each user's folder, then call spamassassin according to the user's preferences. The file is simple, and looks like this -- if ( $SIZE > 20971520 ) { EXITCODE=77 echo "Your email was rejected because it exceeded limit of 20 MB" exit } if ( $SIZE < 26144 ) { exception { xfilter "/usr/local/bin/spamc -u user(a)domain.com" } } exception { to "$DEFAULT/Maildir/" } What is the most straightforward way to have 'Deliver' do the same thing, without changing the way that SA gets called? Apologies in advance if this is a boneheaded question. I've been sorting through Sieve documentation and HOWTOs and I see everything but what I need.

[Dovecot] maildirsize update error?
by Maykel Moya 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

According to [1], Trash is a reserverd folder name. When moving a message to it, maildirsize should be update with a negative byte count. If I move a message from any folder to Trash, maildirsize gets two lines, one positive and one negative. The problem is that a user can't move messages to Trash while being overquota because the positive entry goes before the negative. I'm using dovecot-1.0rc14.

[Dovecot] Dovecot tries to create bogus files in /var/mail
by Mikhail Teterin 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

After upgrading from 0.99.2 to 1.0rc14, I started seeing log-entries like: Nov 16 12:56:22 corbulon dovecot: IMAP(mksarch): mkdir_parents(/var/mail/mksarch/.imap/INBOX) failed: Not a directory Nov 16 12:56:51 corbulon dovecot: IMAP(anat): open(/var/mail/anat/inbox, O_CREAT) failed: Not a directory Nov 16 12:56:51 corbulon dovecot: IMAP(anat): mkdir_parents(/var/mail/anat/.imap/INBOX) failed: Not a directory And my IMAP client (KMail) shows up error message with "Internal server error". The files in /var/mail/ are just that -- files (in the bad old Unix mbox format), and not directories, why is dovecot treating them as directories? Please advise... Thanks! -mi

[Dovecot] NFSV4?
by Charles Marcus 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hi Timo, I just read about NFSv4 now being included in SuSE and Redhat Enterprise versions, and although I don't use it myself, wondered how this will impact Dovecot for those using it? Will it make life easier? Or is it even supported currently? Just curious... thanks... -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] 1.0.rc13 released
by Timo Sirainen 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc13.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc13.tar.gz.sig I'll just keep on making new releases now whenever something important is fixed. Hopefully there shouldn't be many left anymore. Most of the bugs fixed in this release were found by stress testing with my imaptest tool (http://dovecot.org/tools/imaptest.c) If you're interested in knowing how perfectly your Dovecot setup works (especially if you're using NFS), you could try the tool yourself also. I still see one crash with mmap_disable=yes, but it's pretty rare. Will see if I get it fixed before v1.0, but it's not that important. + deliver: If we're executing as a normal system user, get the HOME environment from passwd if it's not set. This makes it possible to run deliver from .forward. - Older compilers caused LDAP authentication to crash - Dying LDAP connections weren't handled exactly correctly in rc11, although it seemed to work usually - Fixed crashes and memory leaks with AUTHENTICATE command - Fixed crashes and leaks with IMAP/POP3 proxying - maildir: Changing a mailbox while another process was saving a message there at the same may have caused the changes to not be made into the maildir, which could have caused other problems later..
