TCP replication: high connection rate and looping in incomplete state
by tok 16 Jun '18

16 Jun '18

Hi, I am trying to establish TCP(s)-based replication between two FreeBSD 11.1 machines, both running Dovecot 2.2.35 (via pkg) with 10 virtual users and 1.2GB maildir. I followed the Wiki description (https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication) just skipped the SSH part. My resulting configurations are attached below. Problem: After reloading both Dovecot instances, a few seconds later they start to initiate connections in an absurdly high rate (30-50 new connections during 10 secs, closing old ones after 2-3 secs) and even after 1 hour they do not „calm down". E-mails are copied, but judging by size and file count, not completely (approx. 1GB and maybe 90% of files are getting synced). What is going on here? On the destination host (with empty storage before replication) I see "incremental - Waiting for dsync to finish“ in dsync-status, constantly flipping between handshake and waiting, for solely 4 out of 10 accounts. Replicator status says 0 requests and 10 total users. On the source host, replicator status says 4 queued full resyncs, 3 waiting failed and 10 total users. I already tried both tcps and tcp; activating debug log did not reveal any errors (e.g. SSL). Would be happy for any advice to track this down.

Hi Looks like I have got in a situation with missing or corrupted attachments. I am getting from time to time lmtp(17147, user1(a)example.com) Error: read(attachments-connector(zlib(/var/spool/mail/example.com/user2/mail/stor… failed: read(/srv/attachments/user2/4a/e0/4ae062027dd745f56c2cc1c43fa4f349f52986a0-2bcf4e063994235bfb4200006f28d014[base64:19 b/l]) failed: Stream is smaller than expected (0 < 5098) Replication works, but is there a way to recover the logic even with empty files or cleaning indices? Thanks Vladimir

After logrotation Dovecot still writes to old log file
by Michael Heuberger 15 Jun '18

15 Jun '18

Hi there This is weird. On my latest Ubuntu server Dovecot seems to write to /var/log/dovecot.log.1 instead of a recently created /var/log/dovecot.log Here my logrotate config for Dovecot: /var/log/dovecot.log { su root syslog rotate 7 missingok copytruncate create 666 root syslog sharedscripts postrotate doveadm log reopen endscript } Doveadm should reopen it but no, still writes to old log file. Not sure, maybe it's someone else, not dovecot, writing to the log file? And here the versions: # 2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.21 (92477967) # OS: Linux 4.14.49-rh65-20180612025235.xenU.x86_64 x86_64 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS How can we investigate best? Or is there a mistake in the above logrotate config? - Michael -- Binary Kitchen Michael Heuberger 1/33 Parrish Road Sandringham Auckland 1025 (New Zealand) Mobile (text only) ... +64 21 261 89 81 Email ................ michael(a)binarykitchen.com Website .............. http://www.binarykitchen.com
