by Lazy 19 Dec '14

19 Dec '14

Hello I have a problem with lmtp delivery to usernames with '-' char. Everythong after - is ignored. when delivering to test-test2 the error message is. User doesn't exist: test I suspect this is a sideefect of auth_username_format = %Lu I have tried %Ln without success. Imap works without problems for those users. How can I disable this mapping for lmtp and use verbatim username for lookup. Thanks in advance for any answers.

LDAP: Connection appears to be hanging, reconnecting
by Matthias Egger 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Hello List I have a strange problem here which i try to analyse, but i'm stuck. Maybe someone has a hint? What happened: A few weeks ago one of the LDAPS Servers which is not maintained by us has crashed. From that moment on, users could still login to check their emails, but they were not able to send any email through postfix (which uses smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot) What i do not understand, is why did dovecot not switch to the second configured LDAPS Server? It looks like it retried for ever to reconnect to the crashed LDAP Server. From the moment of the crash we see a lot of Errors like these in our logfiles: Nov 30 16:51:53 servername dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.error] auth: Error: ldap(userone,USERS_IP1,<WKiTeBUJQQBUSAnE>): Connection appears to be hanging, reconnecting AND Nov 30 16:51:59 servername dovecot: [ID 583609 mail.error] auth: Error: plain(usertwo,USERS_IP2,<QgJvcBUJqABTTWrJ>): Request 1982.83548 timed out after 151 secs, state=1 The used dovecot version is 2.2.13, runs on a solaris 10 system and the configuration for passdb and userdb are: passdb { args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf default_fields = deny = no driver = ldap master = no name = override_fields = pass = no result_failure = continue result_internalfail = continue result_success = return-ok skip = never } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf default_fields = driver = ldap name = override_fields = result_failure = continue result_internalfail = continue result_success = return-ok skip = never } And the dovecot-ldap.conf contains (obfuscated): uris = ldaps://server2.tld ldaps://server1.tld ldaps://server4.tld ldaps://server3.tld dn = ... dnpass = ... ldap_version = 3 auth_bind = yes base = ... scope = onelevel user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid user_filter = ... pass_attrs = uid=user pass_filter = ... The strange thing is, that with the very same binaries and configuration (okay, some minimal modifications have been made to bind to the correct interfaces...) a test on our testsystem works as it should. When we shutdown slapd, dovecot recognizes it an connects to the alternate LDAPS. When we shutdown slapd and start a netcat (just to let something listening without responding)... you guess it. Dovecot does recognize it and switches over to the alternate testsystem. So on our testsystem, everything worked as it should. But the productive system did not. And since the LDAPS are not maintained by us it is somewhat hard to try to reproduce something. At least i got the logfiles from server2.tld and server1.tld. But they only show what i still knew. Our server connected to server2.tld until the crash happened. But server1.tld never got any connection. Has someone an idea what i could try to find out why dovecot did not switch to server1.tld?

dsync summary?
by Randall Gellens 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Is there a way for dsync to report a summary of what it did? For example, when finished, it could report how many messages in how many folders were added (or deleted for a two-way sync) or had flags modified, and if any messages/folders were skipped due to errors or whatever. This could provide a sanity check that a sync looks like it worked. -- Randall Gellens Opinions are personal; facts are suspect; I speak for myself only -------------- Randomly selected tag: --------------- Hippogriff: An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin. The griffin was itself a compound creature, half lion and half eagle. The hippogriff was actually, therefore, only one quarter eagle, which is two dollars and fifty cents in gold.

Anyone know what this means and what the implications are? Does this mean some messages are missing? $sudo dsync -D -v -f -R -o mail_fsync=never backup -u test imapc: ... dsync(test): Error: imapc: Remote server didn't send BODY[] for UID 266 in #somefolder -- Randall Gellens Opinions are personal; facts are suspect; I speak for myself only -------------- Randomly selected tag: --------------- Hippogriff: An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin.

replication - more than 2 servers?
by Ron Cleven 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

We tested dovecot for a fair amount of time and decided finally to put it into production under CentOS 7 (we are running 2.2.10). I just joined the list, so I apologize for what is probably a question that has been answered many times, but I was wondering if there are any plans to implement replication among 3 or more servers (all "masters", as with 2)? As best as I can tell, replication seems to be limited to 2 servers, and it is not obvious to me even how more than 2 would be supported syntactically in the configs. That is, what might be an example of the "mail_replica" clauses if such a thing was supported?

Replication sieve scripts.

Hi, according to changelog 2.2.rc3, dsync should replicate sieve scripts. Do I need turn on or switch some option(s), for this to work?
