Hi, We are seeing a frequent assertion failure on LMTP delivery with 2.3.0. This only appears to happen on CentOS/RHEL 7.

Cannot delete IMAP Mail-Folder in Trash
by Gabriel Kaufmann 08 Feb '18

08 Feb '18

Hello, I've noticed an annoying problem. Trying to delete a folder that has been deleted on IMAP and is moved to trash has problems being deleted. Thunderbird reports: "Folder contains children" and stops there. Folder at first disappears. But after restarting Thunderbird they are still there and on Dovecot-Mailbox folder on the server the folders are also still present. I'm using Dovecot 2.2.18 + Thunderbird + FS-Layout. I already tried this workaround-mode: > /protocol imap { //imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep //}/ best regards Gabriel Kaufmann _____________________________ TYPOWORX ΝΞШ.ΜΞDIΑ Gabriel Kaufmann Siegfriedstraße 38 | 38106 Braunschweig USt.Id Nr.

I also deleted Trash.sdb and Trash.msf in ImapMail-Dir of given Mailbox (after closing Thunderbird of course and restart afterwards). I think the repair-button does more or less the same than deleting msf-files. Trash was rebuilding... but the Folders are still there. I was able to get rid of some other "Junk folders" (that not even where shown in my Thunderbird-Trash inside Trash.sdb folder). But the folders causing current issue are still present after sync! And on server-side (vmail Mailbox on imap-server) these folders are also there! I'm still not able to delete them in Thunderbird. Still getting error Folder contains children, delete them first". Obviously this isn't possible as those sub-folders are not shown in Thunderbird! On server-side of imap (vmail Mailbox) there are in fact sub-folders in those folders. Best regards Gabriel Kaufmann

Timo & Company, There have been a ton of fixes since 2.3.0. Is there a 2.3.1 of Dovecot and 0.5.1 of pigeonhole on the near horizon? Thanks!

Segmentation fault in "make check" test_istream_multiplex for 2.3.0 on Solaris Sparc
by Rainer Jung 07 Feb '18

Hi there, I get a crash when doing "make check" for version 2.3.0 on Solaris Sparc. The build was done with gcc 7.3.0. The crash happens in ioloop-poll.c line 181 when running test_istream_multiplex.c: #0 io_loop_handler_run_internal (ioloop=ioloop@entry=0x130dd0) at ioloop-poll.c:181 181 if (pollfd->revents != 0) { Due to the code 180 pollfd = &ctx->fds[ctx->fd_index[io->fd]]; 181 if (pollfd->revents != 0) { I can see in gdb, that io->fd is "-1", so using it as an array index doesn't make much sense: (gdb) print io->fd $2 = -1 and the resulting address of pollfd is not valid. The full io struct is: (gdb) print *io $3 = {io = {condition = IO_READ, source_filename = 0x8c680 "test-multiplex.c", source_linenum = 84, pending = false, callback = 0x33c14 <test_istream_multiplex_stream_read>, context = 0xc4b80 <test_channel+48>, ioloop = 0x130dd0, ctx = 0x0}, prev = 0xecfc0, next = 0xd3548, refcount = 1, fd = -1, istream = 0xd31e8} Full stack: [Current thread is 2 (Thread 1 (LWP 1))] (gdb) bt full #0 io_loop_handler_run_internal (ioloop=ioloop@entry=0x130dd0) at ioloop-poll.c:181 ctx = 0xd05b8 pollfd = 0x526cd8b0 tv = {tv_sec = 2147483, tv_usec = 0} io = 0xecd50 msecs = <optimized out> ret = 1 call = <optimized out> #1 0x000574a8 in io_loop_handler_run (ioloop=<optimized out>) at ioloop.c:666 No locals. #2 0x0005779c in io_loop_run (ioloop=0x130dd0) at ioloop.c:639 __func__ = "io_loop_run" #3 0x00033f7c in test_multiplex_stream () at test-multiplex.c:147 ioloop = 0x130dd0 fds = {6, 7} os = 0x0 is = 0x0 ichan1 = 0xd31e8 ochan1 = 0xd3470 io = 0xd34c8 ichan0 = 0x1b10e8 ochan0 = 0x1b1290 #4 test_multiplex () at test-multiplex.c:164 No locals. #5 0x0003e3d4 in test_run_named_funcs (tests=tests@entry=0x80444 <test_functions>, match=match@entry=0x7fd38 "") at test-common.c:255 _data_stack_cur_id = 2 i = <optimized out> #6 0x0003f1d8 in test_run_named_with_fatals (match=0x7fd38 "", tests=0x80444 <test_functions>, fatals=0x7fde0 <fatal_functions>) at test-common.c:337 No locals. #7 0x0001e024 in _start () I unfortunately don't know, why the fd field is "-1".

New mail notification
by Matthew Allen 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

Hi, So I'm running dovecot 1.2.17 on Mac OSX using maildir in ~/Mail. After using getmail for a while to download my POP3 email and store it in the right place it started not working so I replaced it with a python script that I wrote. All was good for a while and then I stopped getting new mail notifications in my IMAP client. If I close the connection and restart the new mail shows up as !seen but no amount of re-selecting the folder will show the new mail while the connection is active. There is no untagged responses about new mail while the client is IDLEing. The client is InScribe (http://memecode.com/inscribe.php) but I doubt it's client specific. Seems to be server related. Now the python script in question just puts the .eml file in ~/Mail/tmp and then renames it to the ~/Mail/new folder. Does it need to do something else as well to make the notifications work? There aren't any error messages in the log. Just normal login history. If you can point me in the right direction that'd be appreciated. Regards Matthew Allen

Dovecot on GlusterFS via NFS is... strange.
by Frank Wall 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

Hi, I've discovered some interesting behaviour when running Dovecot on a GlusterFS volume (3.10) that is mounted via NFS 4.1 (ganesha NFS). First of all, using the usual settings for NFS storage seemed like an obvious choice for my setup (Dovecot 2.2.33.2, CentOS 7.4): mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = yes mail_fsync = always maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes mmap_disable = yes lock_method = dotlock (FWIW, I've been using these settings for many years on different NFS storages without any issues. Another instance of Dovecot 2.2.33 on FreeBSD 11.1 with a more traditional NFS storage is rock-solid.) SPOILER: These settings caused terrible issues. For example, when trying to clone a mailbox from an old server to this new Dovecot-on-GlusterFS setup (using imapsync), the following errors would show up frequently: Feb 6 16:44:53 dovecot: IMAP(user(a)example.com): Panic: file maildir-uidlist.c: line 1262 (maildir_uidlist_write_fd): assertion failed: (first_idx == 0) Feb 6 16:44:53 dovecot: IMAP(user(a)example.com): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x9f3de) [0x7f7b6b44f3de] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x9f4be) [0x7f7b6b44f4be] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f7b6b3e077c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x79605) [0x7f7b6b75b605] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_uidlist_sync_finish+0x1ac) [0x7f7b6b75d61c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_uidlist_sync_deinit+0x98) [0x7f7b6b75da48] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_transaction_save_commit_pre+0x41f) [0x7f7b6b75483f] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xcccd0) [0x7f7b6b7aecd0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit_full+0x9d) [0x7f7b6b7cb3cd] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_transaction_commit+0x107) [0x7f7b6b7af217] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so(+0xe17c) [0x7f7b6a9ca17c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so(+0xda0a) [0x7f7b6abe0a0a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_transaction_commit_get_changes+0x51) [0x7f7b6b72c161] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)example.com 10.0.0.1 APPEND](+0xf255) [0x55ca8238f255] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)example.com 10.0.0.1 APPEND](command_exec+0x5c) [0x55ca8239cf0c] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)example.com 10.0.0.1 APPEND](+0xe771) [0x55ca8238e771] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x52) [0x7f7b6b464cd2] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0x10f) [0x7f7b6b4663bf] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x3c) [0x7f7b6b464d6c] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f7b6b464f28] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f7b6b3eafa3] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)example.com 10.0.0.1 APPEND](main+0x333) [0x55ca8238e2e3] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f7b6b00ec05] -> dovecot/imap [user(a)example.com 10.0.0.1 APPEND](+0xe476) [0x55ca8238e476] Feb 6 16:44:53 dovecot: IMAP(user(a)example.com): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 84782 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) Feb 6 16:44:56 dovecot: IMAP(user(a)example.com): Error: readdir(/data/mail/abc/default/.Foldername 01_ Foo 1234/new) failed: Unknown error 523 Yes, the folder name is "special" in this example. (I'm not sure if this readdir() error is actually related to the other issue.) So, this caused the imap process to die repeatedly and the user got disconnected many many times. In this state the mail services were not really usable. Side note: The NFS share was mounted by using the most conservative moint options I could think of: vers=4.1,rsize=131072,wsize=131072,nosharecache,noac,nordirplus,proto=tcp And if you're wondering: Yes, I'm using Dovecot director for IMAP and LMTP (currently running 3 VMs for Dovecot director and 3 VMs for Dovecot IMAP). Then the fun began... I've decided to change the following settings: mail_nfs_storage = no mail_nfs_index = no Re-created the maildir and restarted the imapsync copy process. Out of sudden the errors are gone! Now Dovecot is performing pretty well on my GlusterFS volume. Does this make any sense to anyone? Ciao - Frank
