updating and wsitching repo to yum.dovecot.fi - Unknown protocol: sieve
by Götz Reinicke - IT Koordinator 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hi, winter is coming and so I start to clean up some left overs of the year. One thing is to use the yum.dovecot.fi repository. After installing the current availabel dovecot and dovecot-ee-pigeonhole package and restarting dovecot I do get the error: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: protocols: Unknown protocol: sieve Is the sieve protocol an extra package? I thought in the 2.2. tree I dont have to do bigger config changes. We run already 2.2.something from city-fan.org and the switch was also the idea of going to the most recent release. Thanks for hints and feedback .

Webmail accessive Dovecot logins
by David Mehler 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hello, I've seen this issue before, running a imap/smtp/database server on localhost and adding in a webmail interface, in this case Roundcube. In my maillog I'm seeing accessive Dovecot connections and logouts just from my own transaction of logging in, going to compose a message, sending, and logging out. I'm using Mysql as database backend and was wondering if there was something I could do to cut down on the amount of connections needed? I'm running 2.2.19 on a FreeBSD 10.2 system. I'm not sure what other information to provide, here's the relevant log and a doveconf -n. Second question, in the doveconf -n there's reference to my ssl_cipher am I using current tls ciphers that support pfs? Thanks. Dave.

Dovecot frequently full-text reindexes the whole maildir
by vitalif＠yourcmc.ru 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Hi! I'm using Dovecot 2.2.13 (Debian Jessie package 1:2.2.13-12~deb8u1) on my personal mail server (the address I'm writing from is on this server). I use Maildirs, I have fts + fts_squat enabled, and I have a problem with it for a long time - dovecot seems to not update the index always "incrementally". Yesterday I've finally made a test by telneting to imap port and issuing a search request. Dovecot started to reindex the mailbox. Full reindexing has taken around 15-20 minutes. After reindexing the fulltext searches were fast, just as they should be. And they were fast yesterday even after some new emails arrived. But I've tried to do a new search today and Dovecot started to reindex the whole maildir again! Why is it reindexing the whole maildir again? Could it be related to my anti-spam scripts removing messages from SPAM imap folder? And if yes, how to remove them correctly? -- With best regards, Vitaliy Filippov

Acl sql dict error, dict crashes
by Christian Kivalo 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hi, I configured shared mailboxes and get an error when i use SQL as the acl_shared_dict. It works when i use a file instead. With SQL as the shared_dict, dict crashes. I have enabled sql query logs on the mariadb server, the table user_shares and anyone_shares are queried but there is no insert to the empty tables. The dovecot-acl files are created in the mailbox when i add an acl with doveadm acl add ... doveadm acl debug shows an error: doveadm acl debug -u my(a)example.net shared/other(a)example.net/INBOX doveadm(my(a)example.net): Info: Mailbox 'INBOX' is in namespace 'shared/other(a)example.net/' doveadm(my(a)example.net): Info: Mailbox path: /srv/mail/other(a)example.net/Maildir doveadm(my(a)example.net): Info: Per-user private flags in mailbox: \Seen doveadm(my(a)example.net): Info: User my(a)example.net has rights: lookup read doveadm(my(a)example.net): Info: Mailbox found from dovecot-acl-list doveadm(my(a)example.net): Error: User other(a)example.net not found from ACL shared dict, rebuilding doveadm(my(a)example.net): Error: read(/var/run/dovecot/dict) failed: Connection reset by peer doveadm(my(a)example.net): Error: acl: dict commit failed doveadm(my(a)example.net): Fatal: ACL lookup dict rebuild failed then the dict crashes Oct 29 10:12:13 uschi dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: USER#0111#011my(a)example.net#011service=doveadm Oct 29 10:12:13 uschi dovecot: auth-worker(27393): Debug: sql(my(a)example.net): SELECT CONCAT("/srv/mail/", dir) AS home, CONCAT("maildir:/srv/mail/", dir, "/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs") AS mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM virtual_users WHERE email = 'my(a)example.net'; Oct 29 10:12:13 uschi dovecot: auth: Debug: userdb out: USER#0111#011my@example.net#011home=/srv/mail/my@example.net#011mail=maildir:/srv/mail/my@example.net/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs#011uid=5000#011gid=5000 Oct 29 10:12:13 uschi dovecot: auth: Debug: master in: USER#0112#011other(a)example.net#011service=doveadm Oct 29 10:12:13 uschi dovecot: auth-worker(27393): Debug: sql(other(a)example.net): SELECT CONCAT("/srv/mail/", dir) AS home, CONCAT("maildir:/srv/mail/", dir, "/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs") AS mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM virtual_users WHERE email = 'other(a)example.net'; Oct 29 10:12:13 uschi dovecot: auth: Debug: userdb out: USER#0112#011other@example.net#011home=/srv/mail/other@example.net#011mail=maildir:/srv/mail/other@example.net/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs#011uid=5000#011gid=5000 Oct 29 10:12:13 uschi dovecot: dict(27421): Panic: file dict-sql.c: line 670 (sql_dict_iterate): assertion failed: ((ctx->flags & DICT_ITERATE_FLAG_ASYNC) != 0) Oct 29 10:12:13 uschi dovecot: dict(27421): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x7e290) [0x7f823f032290] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x7e37c) [0x7f823f03237c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0x7f823efdd65d] -> dovecot/dict() [0x407e84] -> dovecot/dict() [0x405890] -> dovecot/dict() [0x405b01] -> dovecot/dict(dict_command_input+0xa1) [0x405bd1] -> dovecot/dict() [0x404d96] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x4c) [0x7f823f044f7c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xe1) [0x7f823f046231] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x25) [0x7f823f045005] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x38) [0x7f823f0451a8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f823efe2c23] -> dovecot/dict(main+0x149) [0x404809] -> /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0x7f823e4cdb45] -> dovecot/dict() [0x40488d] Oct 29 10:12:13 uschi dovecot: dict(27421): Fatal: master: service(dict): child 27421 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) The SQL query log from mariadb shows 151029 10:18:06 5318 Connect readuser(a)10.1.1.50 as anonymous on mailserver 5318 Query SELECT CONCAT("/srv/mail/", dir) AS home, CONCAT("maildir:/srv/mail/", dir, "/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs") AS mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM virtual_users WHERE email = 'my(a)example.net' 5318 Query SELECT CONCAT("/srv/mail/", dir) AS home, CONCAT("maildir:/srv/mail/", dir, "/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs") AS mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid FROM virtual_users WHERE email = 'other(a)example.net' 5319 Connect writeuser(a)10.1.1.50 as anonymous on mailserver 5319 Query SELECT dummy,from_user FROM anyone_shares 5319 Query SELECT dummy,from_user FROM user_shares WHERE to_user = 'my(a)example.net' 5319 Query SELECT dummy,to_user,from_user FROM user_shares 5319 Query SELECT dummy,from_user FROM anyone_shares There is no insert.

Dovecot, JavaMail, UIDs and Message Numbers
by Gabriele Bulfon 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hi, new to this list, so a little prelude to my issue with Dovecot. We have been using JavaMail against Cyrus for ages, and developed Webtop, a huge Java web collaboration application running on them in production in various installations for all this time. Recently we had to run the same software against Dovecot pre-existing accounts running on Nethesis NethServer solution. After some time of testing, we started having an intermittent problem, where Dovecot started reindexing when Webtop was trying to issue sort or search commands. The same accounts previously worked with Thunderbird clients and/or RoundCube interface, never facing this problem. Digging into the issue, we compared the imap protocol produced by Thunderbird, RoundCube and Webtop, discovering that JavaMail is internally all based on message numbers, so any sort/search/fetch is a normal SORT/SEARCH/FETCH, while RC and TB always use UID SORT/UID SEARCH/UID FETCH. We tried to convert our code to use UIDs instead of msgnums, but turned out to be a huge rewrite of JavaMail, because of how JavaMail imap implementation is tied to msgnums. So my questions are: - is it a known fact that Dovecot prefers and performs better with UIDs than with msgnums? - is there any tweak we can do on Dovecot to work better on msgnums? - anybody already faced this issue with JavaMail/Dovecot? Thanks for any suggestion, Gabriele.

Fran - thanks for your reply. I'm cc'ing you directly on this as well as posting to the list as I'm not sure how often you check the list and I'm down to hanging by my last fingernail on this project. I have some preliminary questions interspersed below. Thanks, --Mark -----Original Message----- > Subject: Re: My dovecot works fine against Active Directory 2003, but not > against AD2008 > To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org > From: Fran <cumc-4361-2(a)chguadalquivir.es> > Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:26:21 +0200 > > Hi Mark, > > when I say AD 2003/8 I mean Active Directory 2003/8. Hmmm, I've not heard of "Active Directory 2003" or 2008. The year numbers indicated to me you might be talking about Windows Small Business Server 2003 or 2008. Is your AD Server Windows? Linux? Something else? I'm using Samba4 AD/DC on Linux. > > My configuration is attached. Thank you very much for that.

"Your a better man that I am Gunga-Din!" If there was more detailed narrative somewhere I couldn't find it. Also, I don't have jXplorer on my system, so probably I couldn't get too far anyway. BIG QUESTIONS: 1. Are you using MS Outlook IMAP clients in your environment? If so, how are you making them connect with LDAP? By checking the SPA checkbox? 2. The mail_gid/mail_uid as vmail confuses me. I see that setting a lot, including in your config. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers says, "You can create, for example, one vmail user which owns all the mails, or you can assign a separate UID for each user." I have assigned a separte UID for each based on the UID returned by `wbinfo -u <username>`. Does assigning separate UIDs mess up my ability to adapt your configuration? little questions: 3. I'm not planning on using quotas. Can I safely omit your mail_plugins = " quota" setting and all your plugin { quota_...} settings? I want to be as simple as possible to start. 4. Likewise, dovecot seems to be able to find users' mailboxes just fine. Can I omit the namespace inbox {} setting? These may seem like amaturish questions, but little details have foiled me a lot on this Dovecot project. If I feel confident with the answers you provide here, I'll move on to trying some things.

events
by Frederik Bosch | Genkgo 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hello, We want to trigger a script after certain actions by the user (event). This script inserts the action into message queue (e.g. Rabbit MQ) accompanied with some data. Then one or more workers picks up the action from the message queue and do something with it. The question is: how can I trigger the script from dovecot? An action/event should at least emitted when moving an e-mail message. The amount of data in the event is unknown. My current goal I would like to at least know the sender and receiver address and the type of action (e.g. move). But I can imagine, when having an event driven application, that others might even want the complete e-mail message to be in data. Is such an event driven system possible? When looking at current features of Dovecot: it would the same as the mail_log feature, but instead of writing to a file, one should able to write to a script or socket. Ideally the format of the event would JSON, XML or another data format. Regards, Frederik Current version: Dovecot 2.2.16.

Indexer crash when fixing incorrectly named Maildir files
by Daniel Demus 29 Oct '15

29 Oct '15

Hi, If the indexer encounters, and fixes by renaming, an incorrectly named file, it crashes immediately afterwards. I would guess the old file-name is re-used after re-naming and but isn't checked because it is assumed to exist having come from a listing of directory contents. dovecot: indexer-worker(<username>): Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value, renamed the file from /home/<username>/Maildir/.INBOX.NYTimes/cur/1095923655.M449995P13207V0000000000000302I01010085_0.server.demus.dk,S=11936:2,S to /home/<username>/Maildir/.INBOX.NYTimes/cur/1095923655.M449995P13207V0000000000000302I01010085_0.server.demus.dk,S=12378:2,S: 1 Time(s) dovecot: indexer-worker(<username>): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x737c4) [0x76e327c4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_warning+0) [0x76e328e4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_panic+0x64) [0x76dda320] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x998b0) [0x76f388b0] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_mail_init_stream+0x1c8) [0x76f38df4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x5391c) [0x76ef291c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_get_stream+0x68) [0x76ec482c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x536f4) [0x76ef26f4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_get_virtual_size+0x48) [0x76ec4454] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(index_mail_precache+0x124) [0x76f3a51c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/lib20_fts_plugin.so(+0xcf20) [0x76beff20] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_precache+0x40) [0x76ec4c84] -> dovecot/indexer-worker(+0x1eec) [0x54b78eec] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x68) [0x76e46794] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xe8) [0x76e47a1c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xc) [0x76e46824] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x50) [0x76e468c8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x14) [0x76de02f0] -> dovecot/indexer-worker(main+0xe8) [0x54b78880] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0x114) [0x76c51d3c]: 1 Time(s) dovecot: indexer-worker(<username>): Error: read(/home/<username>/Maildir/.INBOX.NYTimes/cur/1095923655.M449995P13207V0000000000000302I01010085_0.server.demus.dk,S=11936:2,S) failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (11936 < 12378, box=INBOX.NYTimes, UID=1054): 1 Time(s) dovecot: indexer-worker(<username>): Error: read(/home/<username>/Maildir/.INBOX.NYTimes/cur/1095923655.M449995P13207V0000000000000302I01010085_0.server.demus.dk,S=11936:2,S) failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (11936 < 12378, box=INBOX.NYTimes, UID=1054) (uid=1054, box=INBOX.NYTimes): 2 Time(s) dovecot: indexer-worker(<username>): Fatal: master: service(indexer-worker): child 15655 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled): 1 Time(s) Regards, Daniel Demus
