Re: status of test code

Update:I was finally able to build 2.3.13 on centos 8 (8.3). I managed this by going back to the qmailtoaster spec file, removing a few things no longer relevant (vpopmail) and disabling all the tests. Most tests were still running but there were also many that did not. The good news is the resulting executable in the RPM no longer complains about not being able to find libdovecot.so. i've done some basic testing on imap and everything appears to be working.Someone who maintains the tests and rpm build should really have a look. Doing a build on a fresh centos 8 machine, as I was able to with the qmailtoaster source rpm, should really be much simpler. My impression is the current spec file may have edits that were eroneously committed?

At this point I've taken the source zip file and I'm working with the previously working qmailtoaster SPEC file and RPM build process. The toaster SPEC file runs the built-in dovecot tests after build... 2.3.11 would make it through all the tests with a few minor exceptions. 2.3.13 seems no longer able to run the test is lib-ssl-iostream or lib-lua (and perhaps others, but that's as far as I've gotten). I can selectively disable the tests to make progress, but it raises the question of what the plans are for the built-in tests. Also, I continue to not be able to find where all the testing is turned on/off at once? I'm sure it will be obvious when someone tells me but please tell me, because I'm pulling my hair out. Steve

lzma mdboxes with unexpected EOF
by Bjoern Franke 10 Jan '21

10 Jan '21

Hi, I'm running dovecot 2.3.13 (until 05.01. it was 2.3.11.3) on Arch Linux and used lzma compressed mdboxes. Yesterday a user called me that she is missing all mails from the beginning of the month until now. I took a look into the logs and saw several "lzma.read [...] unexpected EOF at <....>". As I had no clue why the mdboxes are broken, I tried to convert all 3 mailboxes to Maildir using "doveadm sync" to prevent further issues and stumbled upon several lzma errors for mdbox files of my own user. So I wrote a script which took the offset and size via "doveadm dump" und then dds the xz parts out of the broken mdboxes and extracts them via 7z. But I'm wondering why that happened at all. I stumpled upon [1] but there was no further discussion about it. Best Regards Bjoern [1]https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2019-September/117007.html

auth error log format change
by Adrian Minta 10 Jan '21

10 Jan '21

Hi, we recently upgraded to 2.3.13 from 2.3.11 and the log format for auth errors seems to have change. This change may have an adverse effect on fail2ban rules. Is there a way to revert to old format ? Thank you ! Old log example: Jan 10 00:32:37 mail dovecot: auth-worker(50806): sql(name(a)domain,112.18.92.0.104,<Dg/+P3+49cMFt1xo>): Password mismatch Jan 10 03:20:02 mail dovecot: auth-worker(26057): sql(name(a)domain,112.18.92.0.104,<oMyxloG4M7AFt1xo>): Password mismatch New log example: Jan 10 00:32:37 mail dovecot: auth-worker(50806): conn unix:auth-worker (pid=22503,uid=0): auth-worker<585236>: sql(name(a)domain,112.18.92.0.104,<Dg/+P3+49cMFt1xo>): Password mismatch Jan 10 03:20:02 mail dovecot: auth-worker(26057): conn unix:auth-worker (pid=25928,uid=0): auth-worker<4234337>: sql(name(a)domain,112.18.92.0.104,<oMyxloG4M7AFt1xo>): Password mismatch -- Best regards, Adrian Minta

problem building on centos 8 (8.3 kernel)
by steve＠keptprivate.com 09 Jan '21

Hi, I'm converting from qmailtoaster/vpopmail build. When I try to build dovecot-2.3.13-2.src.rpm for centos 8.3 the first thing I run into is this: + sed -i 's|/etc/ssl|/etc/pki/dovecot|' doc/mkcert.sh doc/example-config/conf.d/10-ssl.conf + '[' -e buildinfo.commit ']' ++ head -1 buildinfo.commit + COMMIT=89f716dc2ec7362864a368d32533184b55fb7831 ++ /bin/sh /home/build/rpmbuild/SOURCES/lsb_release -is /bin/sh: /home/build/rpmbuild/SOURCES/lsb_release: No such file or directory + ID= error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WFaLYQ (%build) RPM build errors: Macro expanded in comment on line 455: %{_libdir}/dovecot/settings Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WFaLYQ (%build) I can get past this with an edit to the dovecot.spec file (removing sourcedir): if [ -e "buildinfo.commit" ]; then COMMIT=`head -1 buildinfo.commit` ID=`/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -is` RELEASE=`/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -rs` CODENAME=`/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -cs` ARCH=`arch` fi The RPM builds but it fails to run with this message in the logs: Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: Starting Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server...

Any ideas what I have going wrong? Also, a side question, when I build the rpm it's not running the extensive tests that the old qmailtoaster source rpm used to run. I've looked through the spec file and I don't really see where to turn that back on. Sorry if any of this is stupid, but I'm new to building directly from the dovecot repo. Steve

Hi,Yes, a whole subdir "dovecot" in /usr/lib64 with files. The actual so.0 file is a link to an so.0.0.0 file.I was able to successfully build test run the source rpm from qmailtoaster 2.3.11.I'm building from source because I have a patch I want to apply. My suspicion is the problem is config. related given the odd lsb_release issue that happens right at the start of the build.I've tried to review the spec files for differences, qmailtoaster 2.3.11 vs 2.3.13 but the differences are significant.SteveSent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device------ Original message------From: Aki TuomiDate: Thu, Jan 7, 2021 3:10 AMTo: steve@keptprivate.com;dovecot@dovecot.org;Cc: Subject:Re: problem building on centos 8 (8.3 kernel)> On 07/01/2021 03:57 steve(a)keptprivate.com wrote: > > > Hi, > > I'm converting from qmailtoaster/vpopmail build. > When I try to build dovecot-2.3.13-2.src.rpm for centos 8.3 the first thing I run into is this: > > + sed -i 's|/etc/ssl|/etc/pki/dovecot|' doc/mkcert.sh doc/example-config/conf.d/10-ssl.conf > + '[' -e buildinfo.commit ']' > ++ head -1 buildinfo.commit > + COMMIT=89f716dc2ec7362864a368d32533184b55fb7831 > ++ /bin/sh /home/build/rpmbuild/SOURCES/lsb_release -is > /bin/sh: /home/build/rpmbuild/SOURCES/lsb_release: No such file or directory > + ID= > error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WFaLYQ (%build) > > > RPM build errors: > Macro expanded in comment on line 455: %{_libdir}/dovecot/settings > > Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.WFaLYQ (%build) > > I can get past this with an edit to the dovecot.spec file (removing sourcedir): > > if [ -e "buildinfo.commit" ]; then > COMMIT=`head -1 buildinfo.commit` > ID=`/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -is` > RELEASE=`/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -rs` > CODENAME=`/bin/sh %̶{̶_̶s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶d̶i̶r̶}̶/̶lsb_release -cs` > ARCH=`arch` > fi > > The RPM builds but it fails to run with this message in the logs: > > Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: Starting Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server... > Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: Started Dovecot IMAP/POP3 email server. > Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 dovecot[356909]: /usr/sbin/dovecot: error while loading shared libraries: libdovecot.so.0: cannot open shared object > file: No such file or directory > Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=127/n/a > Jan 6 20:52:11 beta1 systemd[1]: dovecot.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. > > Any ideas what I have going wrong? > > Also, a side question, when I build the rpm it's not running the extensive tests that the old qmailtoaster source rpm used to run.

Server searches not working for 1 user only
by Ignacio García 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

Hi there I'm using dovecot version 2.3.4.1 precompiled in Debian stretch-backports (with Maildir, and Lucene FTS). Everything seems to be running fine but server searches by one user (precisely me) using roundcube 1.4.8. For all other checked users server searches work fine. My account is not particularly differnt from others, aprox same amount of mail. The only difference with others is that I use/check my mail constantly and from different devices at the same time (roundcube, a couple of instances of Thunderbird and Aquamail for Android always open). I only use IMAP. Googling around I read about deleting cache/index files with Dovecot recreating them automagically, but since I haven't found anything official on the Wiki, before I do something potentially stupid I wanted to confirm with you all for guidance on this Thanks so much in advance Ignacio
