Question regarding replication - duplicate emails
by Remko Lodder 21 Oct '17

21 Oct '17

Dear Dovecot and community, We run a small email service for our customers, based on two machines that are made “redundant or clustered” by using the replication feature of Dovecot. This works well, for most emails. Sometimes the following happends: Email to our support database arrives at the inbox. Every period a cronjob looks into that mailbox and parses the information and makes a support ticket from that message. The cronjob deletes the email afterwards and sees whether there are more new mails or not. In between the deletion and the (next) check, the email gets “resynced” again from the “other machine”, and is seen as a new email by the cronjob and gets handled again. So basically we get two tickets for one email. After that second run the email is no longer replicated. This behaviour can also be seen via webmail and email clients, this suggests that the replication might not be aware (enough) that the replication is occurring or that an item already had been synced from A to B (and does not need to get back from B to A after A deleted it). Is there a way to fiddle with the acknowledgement timing or give the processes some more space/time to get on par with eachother? Below is the configuration of machine B, they are synchronised through puppet, so only the hostname and IP addresses are different. (so for replication, A has: tcps:hostname_of_b:12346 and B has tcps:hostname_of_a:12346). Also note that HAproxy is prepared but not in use at all. # 2.2.33.1 (e9afa7f18): /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.20 (7cd71ba) # OS: FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE amd64 auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no doveadm_password = # hidden, use -P to show it haproxy_trusted_networks = IPv4_Haproxy IPv6_Haproxy lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes mail_fsync = always mail_location = sdbox:~/sdbox mail_plugins = " quota notify replication" managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext imapsieve vnd.dovecot.imapsieve namespace { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Spam { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = . } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Spam imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Spam imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size mail_replica = tcps:hostname_of_machine_a:12346 sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_after = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/after/ sieve_before = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/global/ sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms sieve_vacation_dont_check_recipient = yes } postmaster_address = postmaster(a)ourdomain.tld protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve replication_max_conns = 100 service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { mode = 0666 } unix_listener replication-notify { mode = 0666 } } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 12346 ssl = yes } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap_haproxy { haproxy = yes port = 10143 } inet_listener imaps_haproxy { haproxy = yes port = 10144 ssl = yes } service_count = 1 } service imap { process_limit = 1024 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = IPv4, IPv6, 127.0.0.1 ::1 port = 24 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } service pop3 { process_limit = 1024 } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0666 } } ssl_ca = </usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/host.ourdomain.tld/fullchain.pem ssl_cert = </usr/local/etc/letsencrypt/live/host.ourdomain.tld/cert.pem ssl_client_ca_file = /usr/local/certificates/letsencrypt-ca.pem ssl_key = # hidden, use -P to show it ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 userdb { driver = passwd } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { auth_username_format = %n mail_plugins = quota sieve replication notify postmaster_address = postmaster(a)ourdomain.tld } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " quota notify replication sieve replication notify" } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail mail_max_userip_connections = 50 mail_plugins = " quota notify replication imap_quota imap_sieve" }

Also, it happens more as we approach Rush Hour. Help us help you: the problem is most likely pointed out in the log files. Also, a dump of your configurations (doveconf -n) would help. Offhand, it seems you've hit an IMAP resource limit, such as mail_max_userip_connections, or perhaps process/memory limits (e.g. process_limit, vsz_limit, etc.). Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

IMAP stops responding.
by Søren Peter Skou 20 Oct '17

Hiya all, I've experienced that IMAP/IMAPS stops responding. To restore service there is only one way, restart Dovecot completely. This leads to services being interrupted for some people, so it seems to only affect some of the users on the server. But POP3/POP3s is still running happily. Also, it happens more as we approach Rush Hour. All of this leads me to believe that we're facing a problem with clients somehow. I've searched the net for the problem, and dating back I've found references to Apple units being the culprit. So we've taken an old Apple client, and tried to see how many sessions it actually starts, the result of that test was that regardless what we tried it only opened one extra session. A bit of information, Debian OS : dovecot-core 2:2.2.27-1~auto+44 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - core files dovecot-imapd 2:2.2.27-1~auto+44 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - IMAP daemon dovecot-mysql 2:2.2.27-1~auto+44 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - MySQL support dovecot-pop3d 2:2.2.27-1~auto+44 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - POP3 daemon dovecot-sieve 2:2.2.27-1~auto+44 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - Sieve filters support the Config itself is fairly simple, lookup through MySQL to find username/password etc - I don't really see any obvious option. Also, limiting users/sessions per IP isn't really a good idea as we have a great deal of customers behind NAT. Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Søren P.

Dovecot >=2.2.29 + Filesystem quota = incorrect storage information

Hi, I have problem with quota storage information in dovecot-2.2.29 (and newer versions, too - 2.2.30.2). I use FS quota backend. ............................ # 2.2.29.1 (e0b76e3): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 4.4.68-1 x86_64 mail_plugins = quota plugin { quota = fs:User quota:mount=/poczta:user quota2 = fs:Group quota:mount=/poczta:group } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = "imap_quota mail_log notify antispam" } ................................. After upgrade from 2.2.27 to 2.2.29 (newest 2.2.30.2 too), dovecot returns incorrect informations about quota storage: # doveadm quota get -u myusername Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 10960896 100000 10960 or # ( echo "A1 GETQUOTAROOT INBOX"; echo "A2 logout" ) | /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap -u myusername * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS BINARY MOVE NOTIFY SPECIAL-USE QUOTA] Logged in as myusername imap(myusername): Info: Logged out in=31 out=588 * QUOTAROOT INBOX "User quota" * QUOTA "User quota" (STORAGE 10960896 100000) A1 OK Getquotaroot completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). * BYE Logging out A2 OK Logout completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs).
