Tests failing on CentOS 6

Getting this when attempting to build 2.3.11.3 on CentOS 6: test-mail-cache.c:176: Assert failed: strcmp(str_c(str),"123\nfoo\n456\nbar\n") "" != "123 foo 456 bar " test-mail-cache.c:176: Assert failed: strcmp(str_c(str),"123\nfoo\n456\nbar\n") "" != "123 foo 456 bar " mail cache uncommitted lookups ....................................... : FAILED Full make check output is at https://paste.centos.org/view/b48d38a9 I can provide full build logs if you want, but that's a 4M file so I'll provide it upon request. For now I'm going ot have to bypass the make check stage of the build for CentOS 6, but I worry that the failed check could be indicative of something critical. Peter

MDBOX DSYNC error: Broken physical size in mailbox
by paul-dovecotlist＠trainor.nz 17 Aug '20

17 Aug '20

Hi All, I currently have a small Dovecot server (Server A) and I've installed a second dovecot mailbox server (server B) and am trying to sync mailboxes from Server A to Server B. Both servers sit behind two dovecot directors on separate hosts and have identical config files (doveconf -n output below). Mailboxes on Server A are on an NFS mount. Server A has been working fine with no issues for a couple of years. I'm running this command on Server A: doveadm sync -u #user# tcp:#newservername#:24245 Small mailboxes with few items are syncing OK.. but most mailboxes fail (sycn stops) with the following type of error: (Mailbox name, storage file, UID and sizes vary). dsync-local(#username#)<b2vTDKerOV/fAQAAZMK/0g>: Error: Mailbox INBOX: Cache /#usershomedirectory#/mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.cache: Deleting corrupted cache record uid=9: UID 9: Broken physical size in mailbox INBOX: read(/#usershomedirectory#/mdbox/storage/m.1) failed: Cached message size larger than expected (60616 > 8688, box=INBOX, UID=9) If I run it again, I'll get the same error, but with a new UID. If I do a local migration instead of server to server, I still get the errors. e.g. doveadm sync -u #user# maildir:~/Maildir-test/ I tried running a force resync (doveadm force-resync -u #user# -f "*) but it didn't help. There's no issues from an imap client accessing any emails. Using imapsync to sync affected mailboxes works fine for example. But... if I then run a dsync on Server B (doveadm sync -u #user# maildir:~/Maildir-test/) on an account that was successfully migrated with imapsync, I get the issue again. How worried should I be about these corrupted cache records, and any ideas how to resolve? Thanks in advance for your help!

generating secure ARGON2ID passwords
by Felix Zielcke 16 Aug '20

16 Aug '20

Hello, I'm using dovecot 2.3.4.1 on a Debian buster system. with Argon2ID password scheme, it's only possible to configure the parameters used for it via the generic -r option to "doveadm pw". A higher -r will increase time and memory comsumption. But on my dual core VM it always uses p=1. So it seems the needed threads can only be changed on compile time? Will there be in future a way to explicitly specify memory, time and threads needed for Argon2ID?

Bug: GSSAPI: Unexpected NUL in auth data
by Paul Banks 16 Aug '20

16 Aug '20

Hi, After upgrading server to v2.3.11.3 (Arch linux). I can no longer connect from Evolution client to the server via GSSAPI (Kerberos). I get the following message in the log: auth: Debug: gssapi(?,x.x.x.x,<XXX>): Unexpected NUL in auth data The bug appears to have been introduced by this patch: https://github.com/dovecot/core/commit/d196f4c83c7383c17440d39eb994b4cd9ff5… Should mech_gssapi also have the MECH_SEC_ALLOW_NULS flag set? Kind regards, Paul

Doveadm error since 2.3.11.3 when run as unprivileged user
by Arjen de Korte 15 Aug '20

15 Aug '20

I allow users to run 'doveadm' for mailbox maintenance (to expunge mail for instance). Since the upgrade to 2.3.11.3, this no longer works and results in the following error message: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 13: ssl_key: Can't open file /etc/ssl/private/de-korte.org.key: Permission denied This is no surprise, as non-privileged users are not allowed to read the private keys of the server. Question is, why is doveadm trying to read this key in the first place (it is not needed for mailbox maintenance) and why is it failing now? Regards, Arjen
