[Dovecot] Deliver-Problem
by Michael Schröder 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Hi, I installed a Emailserver based on Debian Sarge, exim (4.50-8sarge2) and dovecot (1.0.rc2-1bpo1). Delivering Mails with Exim to my Maildir works fine. Because I want to filter my messages with Sieve, I tried to deliver mails with deliver, but get the following error message (example with a testmail and user "Debian-exim", not delivered via Exim): --8<-- dovecot: 2006-09-19 13:17:23 Error: auth(default): deliver(username(a)domain.tld): "2006-09-19 13:17:23 "Fatal: setgid(1003) failed: Operation not permitted --8<-- Here's the relevant part of my configuration file: --8<-- auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = virtual group = virtual } } } --8<-- User "Debian-exim" is in the same group as user "virtual".

Best regards, Michael. PS: Sorry for my horrible english.

by Amadou Toure 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

hello, I have submitted a few weeks ago problem on sieve implementantion but there not useful solution for me at this time. I think that it depend on my mail architecture : _One NFS server _two dovecot POP/IMAP server (for pop and webmail access) : the POP/IMAP don't run dovecot LDA _two delivery serveur with exim and dovecot LDA : they communicate with external relay servers and deliver mail in box. The mailbox format is maildir and the dovecot version is 1.0 rc2 Question : On which server and how to implement sieve for dovecot. Regards Amadou TOURE

[Dovecot] Problems restoring from dump
by Paul Lathrop 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

Hello all, First, the vital stats: FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE, dovecot 1.0.rc7 from ports. I have run into a vexing little problem that has brought my deployment of a shiny new dovecot server to a screeching halt. Using 'periodic' I've configured regular backups to occur using 'dump'. I have a monthly level 0, a weekly level 4, and a daily level 8. These dumps take advantage of snapshots to ensure they are taking a backup of a consistent filesystem. As part of the beta testing, I decided to delete my maildir and attempt to recover from the dumps. Recovery went well, as dump/restore is a wonderful piece of software. I did a quick check at the file level to be sure my mailbox looked like it had when I took the last level 8 dump, and everything looked good. The problem came when I started up Thunderbird to take a look at my mail. When I selected a message, say one that said "knockout daily run output", I'd be reading a different message entirely, like a recent email from my boss! Most of the messages were like this - hopelessly scrambled! I tried just deleting the account in Thunderbird and connecting again, but that didn't change a thing. What happened!? Dump has faithfully restored the files, including the dovecot indexes... so why are my messages scrambled? Thanks for your help, Paul

[Dovecot] Corrupt mbox folders after migration from uw-imap
by Ian Mortimer 21 Sep '06

21 Sep '06

After migrating our mail server from uw-imap to dovecot at the weekend we've had a few corrupted mbox folders. I assume this is due to messages with bad Content-length headers. Is there any way of checking the Content-length of messages in mbox folders? Thanks -- Ian

Hi, I pasted the logs in #dovecot already, but maybe someone here has a little bit more insight. I'm running dovecot cvs branch_1_0 from Sep. 16th.

Re: [Dovecot] Corrupted Transaction Log caused by deliver
by Alex Pimperton 20 Sep '06

20 Sep '06

Hi All, I've just upgraded to Dovecot 1.0.rc7-1 with Postfix 2.3 on Debian Etch and it's trashing my email. I get lots of the errors below as well as other strange ones in my logs. I don't use NFS. Mail comes in via Postfix, gets passed through MailScanner, gets passed back to Postfix and then Postfix passes it to Dovecot's LDA via: mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver Deliver then chokes and get's a little upset. Is there anyway to wipe out all the indexes/uidlists etc and just have Dovecot regenerate them all with a clean slate? Has anybody seen this with dovecot LDA before? Any hints about troubleshooting it? Is the best plan just to copy my imap mail out, nuke the folders and then copy the mail back in again? Regards, Alex Errors: Sep 20 08:43:41 server01 deliver(alex): Corrupted transaction log file /home/alex/mail/dovecot.index.log: Append with UID 1, but next_uid = 94 Sep 20 08:43:43 server01 deliver(alex): sieve runtime error: Fileinto: Generic Error Sep 20 08:43:43 server01 deliver(alex): Unexpected transaction log desync with index /home/alex/mail/dovecot.index
