[Dovecot] 1.0 stable 20050725 assert, signal 6
by Jeff A. Earickson 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Hi, I was brave enough to upgrade from UW-imap to stable 1.0 20050725 today for our IMAP service. I have seen a few of the following in my syslog: Jul 26 15:37:18 emerald dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(bjkupke): file mbox -sync-update.c: line 372: assertion failed: (ctx->mail.uid == 0 || ctx->mail.uid == mail->uid) Jul 26 15:37:18 emerald dovecot: [ID 684838 mail.error] child 16755 (imap) kille d with signal 6 Only for user bjkupke; his mailbox is not corrupted when I open it with Pine. My setup: Solaris 9, configured dovecot like so: CC=cc CFLAGS="-g" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-ssldir=/opt/openssl/ssl --with-rawlog --enable-debug > configure.out Using Sunstudio 9 compiler. I can't find any core files lying around. Bug? Problem? Suggestions please? BTW, are there searchable dovecot list archives someplace? Jeff Earickson Colby College

[Dovecot] Compile trouble with mysql
by Michael Goth 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Hello! I tried to compile the latest 1.0-test (79) with mysql support, but there is the following error: ... /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(sha1.o)(.text+0x5c): In function `sha1_result': : multiple definition of `sha1_result' ../lib/liblib.a(sha1.o)(.text+0x830):/usr/local/src/dovecot/dovecot-1.0-test79/src/lib/sha1.c:233: first defined here ... So 'sha1_result' is defined by mysqlclient and dovecot. This is an issue I already reported some time ago. According to a search in the list archives, it seems no one else has this problem. But there must be more people using dovecot with MySQL support. Probably this only happens with the statically linked MySQL version from mysql.org? I'd really appreciate any help on this, as I have to set up a new mail server quickly (and Courier just doesn't work the way I want it to). Thanks, Michael

[Dovecot] when will the version 1.0 released ...
by wiki kaha 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

Hi all. I work with the version 0.99.14 on an openbsd. There are an issue with b-tree and maybe something more. I know about the 1.x-test versions but they will never be in the ports on freebsd and openbsd because of the funny title "*-test..." This looks like an RC and the half world is waiting for a release. Is there no way to release a version so that the port world can go around :) I'm looking forward. ps: great software! regards ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

[Dovecot] Default_mail_env..
by Guillermo Llenas 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Hi, I 'm new to Dovecot and we are trying to do some tests in a production environment. We use mysql to authenticate and dovecot imap only. But our structure directory is something special. All of ours accounts are stored in maildir and the path is the following: For example the account pepe(a)inter.net /export/maildir/inter.net/p/e/pepe and into pepe we have cur, tmp, new. This is a problem because we cannot modify the database adding home for all users, so in the other side I played with the default_mail_env default_mail_env = maildir:/export/maildir/%d/%1u/%2u/%n:INBOX=/export/maildir/%d/%1u/%2u/%n but didn't wok out. Because imap(pepe(a)inter.net): Aug 01 18:26:04 Fatal: Failed to create storage with data: INBOX=/export/maildir/inter.net/p/pe/pepe I need only export / maildir / domain / first letter of the username / second letter / and last username Is there any way to do this ?, thanks in advance -- Guillermo Llenas Tecnología Inter.net Argentina ________________________ +54 011 6328-1500 fax 0054 11 6328-1530 www.ar.inter.net guillermo.llenas(a)team.ar.inter.net

by OpenMacNews 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

hi all, i'm setting up Dovecot on OSX to use PAM authentication against a flat_file/static userdb (tho i will _eventually_ mv to pgsql ...). iiuc, to do so i need something like: =================================== (EDITOR) /etc/pam.d/dovecot.imap auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/var/dovecot/imapusers onerr=fail =================================== for a userdb listing in "/var/imapuser". all simple & good, except -- -- where's "pam_listfile.so" on OSX? % ls /usr/lib/pam/ pam_afpmount.so pam_nologin.so pam_securetty.so pam_uwtmp.so pam_deny.so pam_permit.so pam_securityserver.so pam_wheel.so pam_netinfo.so pam_rootok.so pam_unix.so do i have to grab-n-install it from somewhere? or are one of these ^ an 'equivalent' ... this _should_ be simple :-} thanks, richard

[Dovecot] Feature request - umask for index files
by Marc Perkel 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

I'd like a separate feature for setting umask for index and cache files differently from email files. The reason is that I'm putting indexes in a separate location and I need group create rights in directories. Otherwise what happens is that the first user creates the directories, but the second user for the domain that has a different UID gets an error. default_mail_env = mbox:/vhome/%d/home/%n:INBOX=/vhome/%d/home/%n/INBOX:INDEX=/nobackup/imap-index/%d/%n -- Marc Perkel - marc(a)perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com

[Dovecot] Not the server can do anything about it, but...
by Stewart Dean 01 Aug '05

01 Aug '05

WIBNI if the clients' message composition windows displayed the size of the prospective outgoing message as a color-coded BIG number... <50K green <200K yellow <500K orange >1MB red ...or some such.. Idiot clueless users occasionally send inadvertantly huge messages...the problem is that there is currently no feedback loop (like this suggestion)....nobody would mail a 100 pound hardcopy 'quick' USPS note to Aunt Mildred, but they're often doing the equivalent in email. If you bump into any client designers, give them the suggestion -- ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Henderson Computer Resources Center of Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035
