Re: Dovecot stops responding when I update SSL certificate
by HotSlots Webmaster 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Time to put an end to this saga... I had an issue that Dovecot refused to serve an updated SSL certificate - one that Postfix had no issue with. Though I quadruple-checked that the cert file and private key file were correct, in the end I simply directed both cert and key files to the file I was using for Postfix (which had both the cert and private key). That worked. Darned if I know what it didn't like about the other files, but I'm back in business with the new cert. Thanks for the responsiveness from Aki. Steve L

Replication not working
by Simon Pierre Desrosiers 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hello, I am trying to setup replication between two Mac OS X El Capitan Server. I have added the field as I could understand from the replication page of dovecot and from a few poste in the mailing list. The mac uses the system user _dovecot as main system account. I have setup ssh keys between the two systems for the two _dovecot servers. SSh works fine from the terminal. But yet, I get these messages in the log file : Mar 09 20:18:44 auth: Error: od[getpwnam_ext](submit): No record for user Mar 09 20:18:44 doveadm: Error: Host key verification failed. Mar 09 20:18:44 dsync-local(submit): Error: read(_dovecot(a)laposte.mycompagny.com) failed: EOF Mar 09 20:18:44 dsync-local(submit): Error: Remote command returned error 255 Mar 09 20:23:44 auth: Error: od[getpwnam_ext](submit): No record for user Mar 09 20:23:44 doveadm: Error: Host key verification failed.

I have a few things about which I am not sure. We configure port 12345, but nothing listen on that port. The doveadm_password, what is it exactly ? Should I use a distinct account than _dovecot for synchronisation (all the fields that need to be added for replication) ? Here is my configuration, any help would be appreciated : # 2.2.5: /Library/Server/Mail/Config/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 15.3.0 x86_64 hfs auth_mechanisms = cram-md5 digest-md5 gssapi

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.13.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.22.rc1.
by Stephan Bosch 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hello Dovecot users, Pigeonhole v0.4.12 still compiles against Dovecot v2.2.22.rc1, but only with warnings. That is the primary reason for this new release. However, there are also a few significant changes as listed below. When no significant problems are reported, a definitive release will follow closely after Dovecot v2.2.22 is released. Changelog v0.4.13: * redirect action: Added the list-id header to the duplicate ID for mail loop prevention. This means that the message sent directly to the user and the message coming through the mailing list itself are treated as different messages by the loop detection of the redirect command, even though their Message-ID may be identical. * Changed the Sieve number type to uint64_t, which means that Sieve numbers can now technically range up to 2^64. Some other Sieve implementation allowed this, making this change necessary for successful migration. + Implemented the sieve_implicit_extensions setting. The extensions listed in this setting do not need to be enabled explicitly using the Sieve "require" command. This behavior directkly violates the standard, but can be necessary for compatibility with some existing implementations of Sieve. Do not use this setting unless you really need to! - redirect action: Made mail loop detection more robust by forcibly adding a Message-ID header if it is missing. - Prevent logging a useless "script not found" error message for LDAP scripts for which the entry exists but no attribute containing a script. This is not necessarily an error. - extprograms plugin: Changed the communication channel between parent and child process for a directly forked program from a socketpair to a double pipe. Linux does not support /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout and friends for sockets. For some shell program authors this may be confusing, so that is why it is changed. When using the script service, these device nodes are still not usable though. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.13… 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

dovecot: imap-login: Panic: Trying to allocate 0 bytes

My ISP had a hard drive crash.

[PATCH] imapc: Accept strings in FLAGS responses

segfault in imap and doveadm
by Joe Beaubien 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi everyone, Dovecot keeps on segfaulting on me and I am unsure why. This setup has been running for 5 years and has given me very little trouble. I am running Dovecot 2.1.7, setup with mdbox. The imap process keeps on segfaulting for the same account (makes me think maybe an email or folder of that account is problematic). My big issue is that force-resync also causes doveadm to segfault. Here is the mail.err file I am getting: Mar 7 12:34:36 mba kernel: [ 1955.486324] imap[5663]: segfault at 0 ip 00007ff1c1bd0b5e sp 00007fffd8599a40 error 4 in libdovecot-storage.so.0.0.0[7ff1c1b51000+fb000] Mar 7 12:34:36 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/Sara/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:36 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/Lucie/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:37 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: mdbox map /mba_data/emails/document/storage/dovecot.map.index corrupted: map_uid=284393 refcount too low Mar 7 12:34:37 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/Templates/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:39 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/Sent/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:40 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:40 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:41 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:41 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:41 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:42 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/_EE - a verifier/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:43 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:34:48 mba kernel: [ 1967.972883] imap[5688]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f058ebc9b5e sp 00007fff9baa7c00 error 4 in libdovecot-storage.so.0.0.0[7f058eb4a000+fb000] Mar 7 12:34:49 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: /mba_data/emails/document/mailboxes/INBOX/Lucie/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index reset, view is now inconsistent Mar 7 12:43:44 mba dovecot: imap(document): Error: indexer disconnected unexpectedly Mar 7 12:43:44 mba dovecot: indexer: Error: Indexer worker disconnected, discarding 119 requests for document Mar 7 12:48:31 mba kernel: [ 2790.363755] doveadm[6586]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f1b2023fb5e sp 00007fff4e8ce200 error 4 in libdovecot-storage.so.0.0.0[7f1b201c0000+fb000] Mar 7 12:49:10 mba kernel: [ 2829.203900] doveadm[6604]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fa0d16e4b5e sp 00007fff1b89f480 error 4 in libdovecot-storage.so.0.0.0[7fa0d1665000+fb000] First line is imap segfaulting.

Compilation fails: SSL_TXT_SSLV2 not defined

Hello all, I'm trying to compile dovecot 2.2.21 on OS-X 10.11.3 and I'm running a bit of trouble with OpenSSL.
