Hi, I have compiled the latest version with those flags: ./configure --with-pgsql --with-sql under FreeBSD/amd64. This worked fine with the previous version. Compilation also works without errors. Yet when I start DC I get this error: Jul 1 22:48:55 section31 dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.2.25 () starting up for imap Jul 1 22:48:55 section31 dovecot: master: Panic: kevent(EV_ADD, READ, 55) failed: Bad file descriptor This does not hapen with the previous version. I could not find any change note that would point in that direction. Any clues?

Aki - made your suggested changes, but no joy :( My /etc/krb5.conf: ------SNIP-------- [libdefaults] default_realm = HPRS.LOCAL dns_lookup_realm = false dns_lookup_kdc = true [libdefaults] default_realm = HPRS.LOCAL dns_lookup_kdc = true kdc_timesync = 1 ccache_type = 4 forwardable = true proxiable = true fcc-mit-ticketflags = true [realms] HPRS.LOCAL = { default_domain = hprs.local auth_to_local_names = { Administrator = root } } [domain_realm] hprs.local = HPRS.LOCAL # this is not a mistake .hprs.local = HPRS.LOCAL ------PINS----------- you wrote: > You can remove the krb4_ stuff I've remove krb4_ stuff from the [libdefaults] and eliminated the [login] section altogether. Question on [realms]Administrator: should that really be root or should it be my AD Administrator? my doveconf -n is exactly the same as posted below, but in particular: auth_krb5_keytab = /etc/krb5.keytab auth_mechanisms = plain login gssapi When I reloaded dovecot no mail was delivered to anyone (even though everyone was still using plain/ssl, no one yet configured for gssapi). In /var/log/maillog I got (repeatedly): Jun 28 09:43:36 mail dovecot: imap-login: Warning: Auth process not responding, delayed sending initial response (greeting): user=<>, rip=192.168.0.54, lip=192.168.0.2, session=<Jy/e0lY2WADAqAA2> Jun 28 09:43:37 mail dovecot: auth: Fatal: Unknown authentication mechanism 'gssapi' Jun 28 09:43:37 mail dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs Jun 28 09:43:37 mail dovecot: imap-login: Warning: Auth process not responding, delayed sending initial response (greeting): user=<>, rip=166.170.27.161, lip=98.102.63.107, TLS, session=</GXn0lY22wCmqhuh> This looks pretty bad right off.

Suggestions? Moving maildir to new storage and may be switch to mdbox
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hi, we got a new storage for our mails and now we think about the best way to use it. Currently about 1TB is stored in maildirs, some mail has been moved to client side local storage temporarily to get space on the old storage. I think of different options, some downtime in mind: a) stay with maildir and just rsync/move all mail to the new storage, mount the new storage at the old mountpoint (or may be new mountpoint and edit the dovecot config). b) "dsync backup" users maildir to mdboxes at a temp mountpoint and change the dovecot config afterwords. c) your suggestions or best practice Thanks for feedback .

v2.2.25 release candidate released
by Timo Sirainen 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.25.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.25.rc1.tar.gz.sig Quite a lot of changes. Please test out before the final v2.2.25 release, which I'm planning for tomorrow. Especially the new lib-dcrypt might have compiling problems with some OpenSSL versions. * lmtp: Start tracking lmtp_user_concurrency_limit and reject already at RCPT TO stage. This avoids MTA unnecessarily completing DATA only to get an error. * doveadm: Previously only mail settings were read from protocol doveadm { .. } section. Now all settings are. + quota: Added quota_over_flag_lazy_check setting. It avoids checking quota_over_flag always at startup. Instead it's checked only when quota is being read for some other purpose. + auth: Added a new auth policy service: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/Policy + auth: Added PBKDF2 password scheme + auth: Added %{auth_user}, %{auth_username} and %{auth_domain} + auth: Added ":remove" suffix to extra field names to remove them. + auth: Added "delay_until=<timestamp>[+<max random secs>]" passdb extra field. The auth will wait until <timestamp> and optionally some randomness and then return success. + dict proxy: Added idle_msecs=<n> parameter. Support async operations. + Performance improvements for handling large mailboxes. + Added lib-dcrypt API for providing cryptographic functions. + Added "doveadm mailbox update" command + imap commands' output now includes timing spent on the "syncing" stage if it's larger than 0. + cassandra: Added metrics=<path> to connect setting to output internal statistics in JSON format every second to <path>. + doveadm mailbox delete: Added -e parameter to delete only empty mailboxes. Added --unsafe option to quickly delete a mailbox, bypassing lazy_expunge and quota plugins. + doveadm user & auth cache flush are now available via doveadm-server. + doveadm service stop <services> will stop specified services while leaving the rest of Dovecot running. + quota optimization: Avoid reading mail sizes for backends which don't need them (count, fs, dirsize) + Added mailbox { autoexpunge_max_mails=<n> } setting. + Added welcome plugin: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Welcome + fts: Added fts_autoindex_exclude setting. - v2.2.24's MIME parser was assert-crashing on mails having truncated MIME headers. - auth: With multiple userdbs the final success/failure result wasn't always correct. The last userdb's result was always used. - doveadm backup was sometimes deleting entire mailboxes unnecessarily. - doveadm: Command -parameters weren't being sent to doveadm-server. - If dovecot.index read failed e.g. because mmap() reached VSZ limit, an empty index could have been opened instead, corrupting the mailbox state. - imapc: Fixed EXPUNGE handling when imapc_features didn't have modseq. - lazy-expunge: Fixed a crash when copying failed. Various other fixes. - fts-lucene: Fixed crash on index rescan. - auth_stats=yes produced broken output - dict-ldap: Various fixes - dict-sql: NULL values crashed. Now they're treated as "not found".

Fwd: Re: Dictionary quota with Flat file database
by Sam 01 Jul '16

Hello Aki, Finally I am using maildir as quota backend and it works! I set the second way like it was write here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Maildir With this method The quota can be personalized per user manually. I only have to create the file once for the new users. But I don't know if these following options in 90-quota.ext works again : quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_grace = 10%% I'm going to test that. Thanks a lot!

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.15.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.25.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Hello Dovecot users, This upcoming release is all about bug fixes, of which only one is really important. It affects the new imapsieve plugin. Changelog v0.4.15: - imapsieve plugin: For any mail transaction, the mailbox was opened a second time, even if no mailbox rule matched. This was unintentional, useless and caused problems when the imapsieve plugin was used with other plugins like acl. - extprograms plugin: Significantly improved error handling. No stream errors were logged. - Several small fixes based on static analysis. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.15… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.15… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

quota-status service
by Michael Fox 30 Jun '16

I'm trying to understand the quota-status service, but I can't find complete documentation. The quota-status service is mentioned here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota And an example configuration is shown: service quota-status { executable = quota-status -p postfix inet_listener { port = 12340 # You can choose any port you want } client_limit = 1 } But I can't find any information on quota-status. "man quota-status" returns nothing. I am unable to find a "quota-status" file on my machine. Where is the executable located? What does the "-p postfix" option do? Are there any other command line options? The above wiki page shows three quota_status_* options in use: quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full" Where are their meanings documented? What are the allowed values? Are there other quota_status_* options? Thanks in advance. Thanks, Michael

quota_full_tempfail
by Felipe Gasper 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Hi all, What specifically does this flag do? Does it affect what happens: -------------- - when the drive is full? - when the system user’s disk quota is full? - when the mailbox’s quota is full? -------------- Also, does it work with both LDA and LMTP? I don’t see much on this option in the docs. Thank you! -Felipe Gasper Houston, TX
