Fatal Error with sdbox and attachment storage

Hello, we've shortly migrated to sdbox with attachment storage.

Not receiving mails
by Vijay Kumar 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

Hi, I have setup spam filter and opendkim key on our mail server with Postfix,Dovecot and OpenDKIM server. Following are few lines from dovecot.conf which were added to dovecot.conf. After troubleshooting, we removed the following lines and the login from webUI roundcube started working. Can someone please explain the importance of following lines in accordance with Opendkim? Should we disable plaintext authentication for opendkim to work? ----------------------------------------------------- disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_privileged_group = mail mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u userdb { driver = passwd } passdb { args = %s driver = pam } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " autocreate" } plugin { autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Sent autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Sent } service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } ssl=required ----------------------------------------------------- Thanks, Vijay --- http://www.matchfinder.in

IMAP Timeouts
by Vince42 30 May '16

30 May '16

Hi, from time to time the IMAP login times out ... my external monitoring says "connection reset by peer (SSL)" and Thunderbird tries to connect forever. After a short while everything returns back to normal operation. The system resources are plenty, there are no error messages and no greedy background tasks running. I read a little about tweaking imap-login - but all the default parameters seem to be set more generously than what was recommended. Where should I start the debugging process? I really wish there was some "dovecot optimizer tool" ... :P -- Cheers, \\|// Vince (o o) ----------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------- ''' (o)_(o) [ ][0][ ] ô¿ô (=°o°=) World Domination by Copy and Paste [ ][ ][0] - (")_(") [0][0][0] () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments Ooo. ---------------------------.ooO----( )------------------------- ( ) (_/ \_)

pread() failures when using mdbox on btrfs
by Marc Joliet 28 May '16

28 May '16

(Note: I am not subscribed to this ML, so please be sure to CC me in replies.) Hello, I see a strange bug when running dovecot under btrfs with a mailbox in mdbox format. At some point, which can take a few minutes or more than a day, dovecot starts logging pread() failures, like so: Apr 02 23:43:42 thetick dovecot[570]: imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/LinuxAudio/User/dbox- Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error These would trigger when getmail runs (which in turn is configured to use dovecot-lda). It's only ever the *.index.log files, and it would usually happen to the same one many times in a row. To demonstrate, this is the full list of unique pread() failures on one host (my desktop PC): # journalctl -u dovecot -p 3 -o cat | sort -u | grep pread imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/BTRFS/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Gentoo/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/LinuxAudio/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Newsletters/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/SCons/User/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log: Input/output error and on the current host (a home server): # journalctl -u dovecot -p 3 -o cat | sort -u | grep pread imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/mailboxes/Privat/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.log: Input/output error imap(marcec): Error: pread() failed with file /home/marcec/.mdbox/storage/dovecot.map.index.log: Input/output error Rebooting the system would make it go away (without loss of mails), though remounting the file system should have worked, too. I tried a variety of options, but the only one that helped was to convert the mailbox from mdbox to maildir. I have not seen any pread() failures in the two weeks since. I originally wrote to the btrfs ML, see the thread at [0], in particular my messages [1] and [2], for additional details, including references to what little I could find on the web. However, nothing much came of that thread, so I am now posting here.

first_valid_uid
by Vince42 28 May '16

28 May '16

Hi, I have error log entries like dovecot: lmtp(22155, mail): Error: user mail: Mail access for users with UID 8 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup). This obviously tells me that the user mail (UID 8) is trying to access the LMTP daemon. How can I find out why he is doing so and how I can get rid of this error message? The mail system (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS : Postfix + Dovecot) is working - but probably not properly configured. -- Cheers, \\|// Vince (o o) ----------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo------------------------- ''' (o)_(o) [ ][0][ ] ô¿ô (=°o°=) World Domination by Copy and Paste [ ][ ][0] - (")_(") [0][0][0] () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments Ooo. ---------------------------.ooO----( )------------------------- ( ) (_/ \_)

Unable to view shared mailbox
by dev 25 May '16

25 May '16

Hi All, I have a mailing list I'd like to archive and share with a handful of users. The users are all in OpenLDAP. 10-auth-system.conf.ext is setup with "driver=pam" so it appears anyone in LDAP who already is able to SSH into the server may also connect to dovecot with same username/password they use in LDAP. I have a shared mailbox directory called LISTS_Archive. The system directory is /home/shared_imap. I can connect to dovecot using LDAP credentials (using Thunderbird) and this shared folder (LISTS_Archive) is grayed out. I assume I have acls wrong? What I want is for users in LDAP to access the LISTS_Archive imap folder as a shared folder for everyone. Only R/O access however (which is 'lr' in acl file I think). Would someone please point out what I've missed? Thank you. # # egrep -v '(^$|\#)' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf # mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir namespace inbox { type = private separator = / inbox = yes } mail_plugins = acl plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls } namespace { hidden = no inbox = no location = maildir:/home/shared_imap/:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/shared/%%u prefix = LISTS_Archive/ separator = / type = public list = yes subscriptions = no } # # egrep -v '(^$|\#)' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf # protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_acl } # # dir /home/shared_imap/ # total 8 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 May 25 10:26 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 user384 mail-user 0 May 25 10:43 dovecot-acl-list drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail-user 4096 May 25 10:43 . # # cat /etc/dovecot/acls # * user=user384 lr

ot: selfcert IMAP StartTLS 143 Win10 Tbird woes
by voytek＠sbt.net.au 25 May '16

25 May '16

I was trying to set up a replacement laptop running W10/64 to replace a Win7 laptop, installed TBird, and, attempted normal setup: IMAP StartTLS 143, SMTP StartTLS 587 (like on old laptop), and, to cut a long story, eventually discovered it won't work till I changed IMAP SSL/TLS 993 ? SMTP seems OK, only IMAP didn't (I recall earlier similar type of issues with either Outlook or OE or WLive?) is this the self certified part ? or what is it ? what's the best way around ? or just leave it as 993 ? thanks for any hints , pointers or even words of encouragement
