Dovecot & Thunderbird on shared mbox
by Ruga 19 Aug '16

19 Aug '16

Occasional error from TB when selecting a dovecot's shared mbox: "Unable to open the summary file for [shared]" "Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long." The server's disk is clear, and the longest full path is [a-zA-Z\/\.]{46}. The error occurs occasionally.

What might cause messages delivered with dovecot-lda to be "invisible" to IMAP clients?
by Ben Johnson 19 Aug '16

19 Aug '16

Hello! I'm attempting to use dovecot-lda, and for whatever reason, messages that I send with it are not visible in my IMAP client. $ dovecot --version 2.2.22 (fe789d2) (Full "doveconf -n" output is at the bottom of this message!) Here's the the sequence of commands that I'm using: # su vmail $ echo 'This is a test message.' > /tmp/test.txt $ stat /tmp/test.txt File: '/tmp/test.txt' Size: 24 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fd01h/64769d Inode: 783925 Links: 2 Access: (0664/-rw-rw-r--) Uid: ( 5000/ vmail) Gid: ( 5000/ vmail) Access: 2016-08-18 20:49:38.419011552 -0400 Modify: 2016-08-18 20:49:07.178995015 -0400 Change: 2016-08-18 20:49:38.191011425 -0400 Birth: - $ /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d "test(a)example.com" -p "/tmp/test.txt" When I do this, the destination mailbox acts like there's a new message (I'm using Thunderbird, and the mailbox is highlighted in blue and bolded, which is the "new mail" behavior in this client). But when I "check my inbox", i.e., click on the Inbox, I don't see the new message. With regard to the filesystem, the message is present and contains the intended contents. Here's the "stat" output: $ stat /var/vmail/example.com/ben/Maildir/cur/1471567777.M685753P32257.example.com,S=24:2, File: '/var/vmail/example.com/ben/Maildir/cur/1471567777.M685753P32257.example.com,S=24:2,' Size: 24 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fd01h/64769d Inode: 783925 Links: 2 Access: (0664/-rw-rw-r--) Uid: ( 5000/ vmail) Gid: ( 5000/ vmail) Access: 2016-08-18 20:51:05.647059340 -0400 Modify: 2016-08-18 20:50:58.543055378 -0400 Change: 2016-08-18 20:50:58.543055378 -0400 Birth: - Might anyone know why I'm not "seeing" this message in my IMAP client?

Reporting on CephFS being ready to use with Dovecot
by Daniel van Ham Colchete 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

I would like to report that from version 10.2.3 on (next release), Ceph FS is working really well with Dovecot systems. For those that don't know, Ceph is a "distributed object store and file system designed to provide excellent performance, reliability and scalability.". We have used it here since 2013 very successfully, but never with our Dovecot setup. For more information go on http://ceph.com/. Since Ceph Jewel (the current version), Ceph FS is considered production ready by their team. With Ceph FS you have a cache-coherent POSIX-compliant [1] clustered file system, without most of the NFS shortcomings. Ceph have very nice features like online upgrades, online maintenance, constant deep scrubbing of replicated data, cache tiering (HD -> SSD -> etc), erasure coding (clustered RAID6 for really old email - I'm not using), etc. Ceph is very complex to operate but very flexible and robust. This year we moved our Dovecot servers to a Ceph based system, found one bug there (http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/15920) when Dovecot's LMTP was delivery an email, and the fix is about to be released on version 10.2.3. I have been using a fix-build here for a couple of months without issue. So, now I'm glad to share with you guys that it works really well! My setup involves two clusters, each with about 30k-40k users. Each cluster will have two HD storages (with 6TB HDs), two SSD storages (with Intel 480GB SSDs) and two frontends. In a few months will add a third server of each type. Clusters work better with 3's. Here we used mdbox as it is better performant on Ceph for maintenance tasks, since each file is an object on Ceph and maintenance costs increase with the number of objects. We created two base directories: - /srv/dovecot/mail/%d/%n - stored on HDs with the most recent files cached on SSDs, thanks to Ceph Cache Tiering. Also, the directory structure itself is stored on SSDs, so dir listings are very fast (Ceph FS Metadata). - /srv/dovecot/index/%d/%n - stored only on SSDs, thanks for Ceph FS file layout. On our setup about 17% of the IOPs are going to HDs, the rest will go to SSDs, even though SSDs are less than 5% of the space. This is a matter of tuning the cache tiering parameters, but we didn't look at that yet. That setup is working like a charm, performance is about 53% better than when we were using NFS on the same hardware. Our previous DRBD+Heartbeat setup didn't allow for online maintenance and had a few problems. Now we can do 100% online maintenance on storage without users noticing, and on frontends with just a reconnect but without any downtime. Ceph is hard to learn at first but those with bigger setups and stronger SLAs will want to take a look at that. I really recommend that the Dovecot community take at look at that setup. Good luck! Best, Daniel Colchete [1] http://docs.ceph.com/docs/hammer/dev/differences-from-posix/

POP3 strange logging behavior after upgrade from 2.2.13 to 2.2.25
by Iavor Stoev 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

Hello, After the upgrade from Dovecot version 2.2.13 to 2.2.25, we experience the following strange behavior with POP3 logging. When a connection is closed with reason "Connection closed" & "Disconnected for inactivity", the number of deleted mails is missing. Like del=/1166 & del=/4138 from the example bellow. With Dovecot 2.2.13: Feb 14 03:35:20 serverXYZ dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.com): Connection closed top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/946, size=39500197 Feb 15 16:49:18 serverXYZ dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.com): Disconnected for inactivity top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/739, size=52319632 With Dovecot 2.2.25: Jul 31 02:56:03 serverXYZ dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.com): Connection closed top=1/1380, retr=0/0, del=/4138, size=284167741 Jul 31 02:34:47 serverXYZ dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.com): Disconnected for inactivity top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=/1166, size=111425436 For sessions completed normally, everything works fine with both Dovecot versions: Jul 31 06:55:48 serverXYZ dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.com): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 Jul 31 02:36:59 serverXYZ dovecot: pop3(user(a)domain.com): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=1/18821, del=1/1, size=18803 Please advise if this behavior is normal and if yes how should we read entries like "del=/4138"?

dsync replication issue
by Cédric ML 18 Aug '16

18 Aug '16

Hello, I'm facing a problem with dsync : replication between my two dovecot 2.2.10 servers (10.10.10.10 = serverA and 10.10.10.11 = serverB) is not done when a mail is received on any of the two servers. Sync is correctly working when running "doveadm [-D] sync -A tcp:10.10.10.10:12345" from serverB or "doveadm [-D] sync -A tcp:10.10.10.11:12345" from serverA Sieve vacation message replication is functional too, and triggered when a change is done on any of the two servers. I guess it's a notify problem, but I did not find how to debug it... I've enabled dovecot debug, but I don't see anything related to notify in logfile. Here's my doveconf -n (it's the same on the two servers, except IP address changes) Hope somebody will be able to help me.
