[Dovecot] Mailbox usage
by Andrew Velikoredchanin 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

I use dovecot-0.99.11 from RHEL4. dovecot-mysql.conf: === db_host = dbhost db_port = 3306 db = db db_user = dovecot db_passwd = pass default_pass_scheme = PLAIN password_query = SELECT password FROM users WHERE username = '%u' user_query = select maildir AS home,u_id AS uid,g_id AS gid from users WHERE username = '%u' === When I try "telnet localhost 110" and enter test login, I get in errorlog: === dovecot-auth: Jun 06 07:21:49 Info: MySQL: Performing query: SELECT password FROM users WHERE username = 'andy@domain' dovecot-auth: Jun 06 07:21:49 Info: MySQL: Performing query: select maildir AS home,u_id AS uid,g_id AS gid from users WHERE username = 'andy@domain' pop3-login: Jun 06 07:21:49 Info: Login: andy@domain [::ffff:127.0.0.1] dovecot-auth: Jun 06 07:21:49 Info: Login process 9 disconnected dovecot: Jun 06 07:21:49 Fatal: chdir(/var/mail-domain/andy@domain) failed with uid 506: Not a directory dovecot: Jun 06 07:21:49 Error: child 19446 (pop3) returned error 89 === I think, dovecot use "/var/mail-domain/andy@domain" as maildir - not as mailbox. What need set in dovecot config for work with mailbox? Thanks. -- Best regards, Andrew Velikoredchanin

[Dovecot] Debugging test72
by Doug Luce 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

When attempting to save a message from the INBOX to a folder in a collection (like, .projects.dovecot), I get behavior like this (in GDB). Any clue what might be going wrong? Here's where a SIGABRT happens: 280 return array->buffer->used / array->element_size; This is the stack trace: (gdb) where #0 mail_index_map_get_ext_idx (map=0x1200c0db0, ext_id=0, idx_r=0x11ffe828) at ../../src/lib/array.h:280 #1 0x120058dcc in _view_lookup_ext_full (view=0x1200c0db0, seq=0, ext_id=0, map_r=0x11ffe898, data_r=0x11ffe8a0) at mail-index-view.c:395 #2 0x120059468 in mail_index_lookup_ext_full (view=0x1301100d4, seq=0, ext_id=301983784, map_r=0x1300e2078, data_r=0x1200c4f14) at mail-index-view.c:561 #3 0x12005912c in mail_index_lookup_keywords (view=0x1200c4e00, seq=0, keyword_idx=0x11ffe8f8) at mail-index-view.c:475 #4 0x12003e880 in index_mail_get_keywords (_mail=0x1200c0db0) at index-mail.c:184 #5 0x120063238 in mail_get_keywords (mail=0x1301100d4) at mail.c:39 #6 0x120063550 in mail_storage_copy (t=0x1200c2880, mail=0x1200e7020, dest_mail=0x0) at mail-copy.c:22 #7 0x12002a90c in maildir_copy (_t=0x1200c2880, mail=0x1200e7020, dest_mail=0x0) at maildir-copy.c:155 #8 0x120064dac in mailbox_copy (t=0x1301100d4, mail=0x0, dest_mail=0x11ffe828) at mail-storage.c:456 #9 0x120011b78 in fetch_and_copy (t=0x1200c2880, srcbox=0x0, search_args=0x1200e7020) at cmd-copy.c:28 #10 0x120011d98 in cmd_copy (cmd=0x1200c0268) at cmd-copy.c:88 #11 0x120017598 in client_handle_input (cmd=0x1200c0268) at client.c:334 #12 0x120017748 in _client_input (context=0x1200c0db0) at client.c:383 #13 0x12007e670 in io_loop_handler_run (ioloop=0x1200c2000) at ioloop-poll.c:184 #14 0x12007dd5c in io_loop_run (ioloop=0x1200c2000) at ioloop.c:218 #15 0x120022b10 in main (argc=537660848, argv=0x11ffeb10, envp=0x11ffeb20) at main.c:228 And, stepping from this position results in the bomb: (gdb) s Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x130247908 in kill () from /lib/libc.so.5 I'm not too familiar with the source code, so figuring out exactly what this is up to would be a major chore. I'm hoping someone can give me a little clue as to what direction I should take to fix this problem. Thanks! Doug

[Dovecot] assertion failed -0.99 -> 1.0-stable
by Thomas Hummel 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Hello Timo, I've upgraded from dovecot-0.99 to dovecot-1.0-stable (the 2005-05-09 version) on FreeBSD 5.4 and encountered the following problems (problem #4 (assertion failed) made me downgrade back to dovecot-0.99...) : 1. mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/gopauld (5230 > 4407) --> OK, that's documented on the Wiki, not a real problem 2. imap(cxxx): mkdir_parents(/opt/dovecot/c/cxxx/.imap/INBOX) failed: Permission denied --> I can't understand why since /opt/dovecot/c is rwxrwxrwt and belongs to root:wheel 3. dovecot: IMAP(xxxx): UIDs broken with partial sync in mbox file /yyyy/zzzz/xxxx/Mail/Drafts 4. dovecot: IMAP(xxxx): file istream-raw-mbox.c: line 383 (istream_raw_mbox_get_body_size): assertion failed: +(rstream->body_offset != (uoff_t)-1) --> That one occured each time a user connected with Eudora (on OS-X) moved messages from INBOX to some of her IMAP mailboxes. Since it was in real life, I hadn't time to get a gdb backtrace. Notes : . that user had restarted her client (Eudora). . my messages moves from one IMAP mbox to another did work. . the assertion failed occured with the version of 2005-06-04 as well (which I tried since the ChangLog mentionned some similar problems). Any clues ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

Is the CONTROLDIR directive only available (undocumented as it may be) in the 1.0 series? I'm currently using 0.99.13 and I didn't find CONTROLDIR with grep. Thanks alan

[Dovecot] mail directory in user home?
by Knute Johnson 14 Jun '05

14 Jun '05

Hey: When I run dovecot and retrieve any mail for a user, a mail directory is created in the users home. It has a subdirectory Inbox. No mail goes there however, it all goes to /var/spool/username. What is that directory for and how do I get it to not make it or can I? I am only using POP3. Thanks, -- Knute Johnson Molon Labe...

This is a heads-up that certificates will be moving to a new location in FC4. See section 6.2.3.1 in the release notes: <http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/errata/>

[Dovecot] Problem with configure.in in dovecot-stable CVS
by Brian T Glenn 09 Jun '05

09 Jun '05

I am having trouble with using dovecot-stable from CVS. I get the following error when running autogen.sh: configure.in: 4: required file `./[config.h].in' not found I see the config.h.in file in the root dir, but I cannot figure out what the brackets are for. If I modify the file and remove the brackets, it works properly and I can compile dovecot. What are the brackets in the name for? Am I breaking something by removing them? Thanks, -- Brian T Glenn delink.net Internet Services
