Couldn't create lock .dovecot-sync.lock
by listas＠adminlinux.com.br 22 May '15

22 May '15

Hi, In a cluster with two servers and replication via dovecot-dsync, this error is logged: server1 dovecot: dsync-server(<user>): Error: Couldn't create lock /var/lib/imap/user/6a/<user>/.dovecot-sync.lock: No such file or directory This is because "/var/lib/imap/user/6a/<user>/" doesn't exist in server1. In another cluster node, the directory exists and everything seems to work fine. In my view, this indicates that the first sync is failing. In the first user access Dovecot creates home_dir for him. But the sync is not happening at this time to create the home_dir on the other node. My confs with doveconf -n: http://www.adminlinux.com.br/newcluster_doveconf.txt Thanks in advance! -- Thiago Henrique

Problems To Get Dovecot Running On FreeBSD: auth process crashes

I also tried current hg's tip 8737:8906101589f9, but I cannot reproduce the error, no matter what I try. Also, I think, that in this very case the quota is OK still, because it had been updated for the sharing user OTHER-UID. - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEVAwUBVV7xKHz1H7kL/d9rAQIlWAf+M0KHX2IjJufhamNlnlWJRhbGO+qmwnlh A6644yzn8vEtx3zHvOfvULAEZyWPsHlmMnu2YNKa3JrUYXte2zl1M7AzLR0Wsl9k xcBGxsbeRhqkDOrDoNRXMAZaTzWdqHDvXDGBujsh7+whjDh+Uv9uD0/LYxuRo+lb r54QF9qgSv4NLB4DlWhPMcwWjBWmTRu5kJGpU05jwlCgroZxkvB59FXaccMQXe5r ay9YWhBLz1qVVRg7ZsnY6ogwmlM/MyreI0o8A6iPfgDmrOcHjYbQ7jLGb7771vHJ SUjyC5NsU/A9HWr3jI2gmi2kSMIvPKOxHtUKpschLqBprbUkj0tNyg== =0bWX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

dovecot 2.2.18 and ssl_parameters_regenerate
by django＠nausch.org 22 May '15

22 May '15

HI Timo, On http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SSL/DovecotConfiguration I read in chapter SSL security settings: When Dovecot starts up for the first time, it generates new 512bit and 1024bit Diffie Hellman parameters and saves them into <prefix>/var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat. After the initial creation they're by default regenerated every week. With newer computers the generation shouldn't take more than a few seconds, but with older computers it can take as long as half an hour. The extra security gained by the regeneration is quite small, so with slower computers, for Dovecot versions prior to v2.2, you might want to disable it If I discover the default-value of ssl_parameters_regenerate I receive: # doveconf -d ssl_parameters_regenerate ssl_parameters_regenerate = 0 In your doku you wrote, that dovecot will regenerate every week. :/ ? I set it to "1 hours" and watch if /var/lib/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat is build every hour, but nothing happens. ssl-parameters.dat is only rebuild, if I change ssl_dh_parameters_length What's the problem? What I've made false? ttyl Django -- http://dokuwiki.nausch.org http://wetterstation-pliening.info http://ebersberger-liedersammlung.de

charset_to_utf8 assertion of remaining src_size

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi, I have seen the following assertion fails on my own mail server (indexer-worker): Panic: file charset-iconv.c: line 132 (charset_to_utf8): assertion failed: (*src_size - pos <= CHARSET_MAX_PENDING_BUF_SIZE) However, when charset_to_utf8_try returns FALSE (e.g. iconv() got EINVAL or EILSEQ), the for loop in charset_to_utf8 may end earlier, and there may be additional pending characters, and the assertion doesn't seem always hold in the error case, perhaps we should assert that pos is non-zero in the error case?

Log mail access
by Philipp Brüll 20 May '15

20 May '15

Hello, is it somehow possible to log the access to a mail? The log entry should be written, if a user fetches a mail via imap or pop3. It would be convenient for debugging. I've checked the Logging-Wiki and the docs for the mail_log plugin, but they seem to log any event but "mail access". Best regards, Philipp
