ACL with Public Namespace
by Bruno Galindro da Costa 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

I've configured a namespace like this: namespace avisos { type = public list = yes location = maildir:/var/mail.avisos:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/avisos subscriptions = yes prefix = "AVISOS." mailbox DIVULGA { auto = subscribe } } This is the namespace representation in filesystem: root@imap:~# ls -lha /var/mail.avisos/ total 44K drwxr-xr-x 7 vmail mail 4,0K Set 9 18:21 . drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4,0K Set 9 17:08 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail mail 4,0K Set 9 16:49 .DIVULGA -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17 Set 9 18:21 dovecot-acl -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 0 Set 9 18:11 dovecot-acl-list -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 360 Set 9 18:11 dovecot.mailbox.log -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 8 Set 9 18:02 dovecot-uidvalidity -r--r--r-- 1 vmail mail 0 Set 9 14:57 dovecot-uidvalidity.540f3f88 -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail mail 249 Set 9 18:11 subscriptions This is the content of dovecot-acl file located at namespace's root level: root@imap:~# cat /var/mail.avisos/dovecot-acl authenticated rs After reload dovecot service, it trows this error message in log: Sep 9 18:14:13 imap dovecot: imap(user@mydomain): Error: Failed to autocreate mailbox AVISOS.DIVULGA: Permission denied So, I've changed the dovecot-acl file to this one and the problem was solved. root@imap:~# cat /var/mail.avisos/dovecot-acl authenticated rsk But that change created another problem: dovecot-acl file is copied into AVISOS.DIVULGA. So, the user can create a maildir inside it. This behaviour is bad because "invalid" maildirs are created under the filesystem. My intention is to don't permit the user to create any maildir inside any location of that namespace. But, I want to make possible to the administrator to edit the dovecot.conf, insert a new mailbox into namespace avisos and reload dovecot service to create new maildirs automatically. How can I solve this problem? -- Att. Bruno Galindro da Costa

Dovecot + Postfix postmulti SASL
by Nerijus Kislauskas 09 Sep '14

09 Sep '14

Hello, Our Postfix setup uses multi-instance feature. I would like to enable dovecot SASL mechanisms in postfix. Open two unix sockets is not a problem for us: service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-instance1/private/auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix-instance2/private/auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } Lets assume, that postfix-instance1 uses LDAP1, and postfix-instance2 uses LDAP2. How can I use different userdb and passdb databases for those sockets? -- Sincerely, Nerijus Kislauskas

Panic/backtrace in dovecot 2.2.13
by Ed W 07 Sep '14

07 Sep '14

Hi I'm running into regular problems with dovecot choking on "corrupted" index files. The main problem is that it doesn't sort itself out and recover. This message below is repeated regularly in the log files (until I delete the index files) I *think* the trigger to get into this situation might be a files being delivered with incorrect S= values in the filename? Which is to say I am using maildrop to deliver messages and occasionally maildrop seems to write files with incorrect S= names (anyone know why or how to fix it?). The error logged regarding incorrect S= values is obviously completely different, but I speculate that it could be the earlier cause that gets the index file out of shape as shown in the problem here Thanks for any help? (note it's not easy to remove maildrop at present) Ed W Sep 1 07:32:51 mail1 dovecot: imap(xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com): Panic: file mail-index-transaction-export.c: line 203 (log_append_ext_hdr_update): assertion failed: (u32.offset + u32.size <= ext_hdr_size) Sep 1 07:32:51 mail1 dovecot: imap(xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x69a9e) [0xedee5a9e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x69b21) [0xedee5b21] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0) [0xede97a69] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_export+0xa36) [0xedfff706] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0xa9f50) [0xedffdf50] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit_full+0xc4) [0xedffe454] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_transaction_commit+0x23) [0xedffe513] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_commit+0xef) [0xee0078ef] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x52e05) [0xedfa6e05] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x52040) [0xedfa6040] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(+0x5251a) [0xedfa651a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_init+0xf4) [0xedfa68d4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x3b) [0xedfb786b] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync+0x3f) [0xedfb79af] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](cmd_select_full+0x187) [0x80594d7] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](cmd_select+0x17) [0x8059f37] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](command_exec+0x32) [0x805f1a2] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT]() [0x805e197] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT]() [0x805e2d9] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](client_handle_input+0x115) [0x805e515] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](client_input+0x72) [0x805e8c2] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x59) [0xedef8e89] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run_internal+0xee) [0xedefa05e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x1c) [0xedef8f1c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x48) [0xedef8fa8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2e) [0xede9d76e] -> dovecot/imap [xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com 80.189.197.148 SELECT](main+0x2bd) [0x80520ed] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5) [0xedce9f25] Sep 1 07:32:51 mail1 dovecot: imap(xxxxxxx(a)mailasail.com): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 31315 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled)

lmtp memory usage problem - Fatal: pool_system_realloc(268435456): Out of memory
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hi. In my setup exim delivers mails to dovecot using LMTP. In one LMTP session exim can deliver up to 200 recipients (batch_max set to that value). Now the problem is that sometimes 256MB is not enoug for dovecot lmtp to handle incoming emails. My questions: - how big memory limit should be for lmtp? I was thinking that lmtp (more or less) simply reads from one descriptor and writes to file, then does rename() (maildir used here) and that's all. That shouldn't require big number of memory. So how to determine correct memory limit and what affects this limit? - is number of recipients in one LMTP session important here? Not sure, maybe dovecot stores email in memory first and then writes to the user maildirs? Setting (batch) limit to 1 could reduce memory usage then (since no need to store anything in memory) ? Thanks, Log: Sep 4 16:10:30 mail dovecot: lmtp(21383, user): Fatal: pool_system_realloc(268435456): Out of memory Sep 4 16:10:30 mail dovecot: lmtp(21383, user): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x682a0) [0x7fe327e632a0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libd ovecot.so.0(+0x6837e) [0x7fe327e6337e] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7fe327e1dbf8] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x7d6a3) [0x7fe327e786a3] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_grow_buffer+0x8f) [0x7fe327e6c4cf] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_try_alloc+0x82) [0x7fe327e6c592] -> /usr/lib6 4/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x73b9b) [0x7fe327e6eb9b] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x73c36) [0x7fe327e6ec36] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x 53) [0x7fe327e6bad3] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x77391) [0x7fe327e72391] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x53) [0x7fe327e6bad3] -> /usr/lib 64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read_data+0x3d) [0x7fe327e6c2fd] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_stream_copy+0x7f) [0x7fe327e7cacf] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdo vecot.so.0(+0x83310) [0x7fe327e7e310] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(o_stream_send_istream+0x4d) [0x7fe327e7c92d] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maild ir_save_continue+0x5a) [0x7fe32811b14a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_storage_copy+0x88) [0x7fe328145328] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 (maildir_copy+0x42) [0x7fe3281179c2] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/plugins/lib10_quota_plugin.so(+0xb52b) [0x7fe32764352b] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_cop y+0x6d) [0x7fe32814d29d] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-lda.so.0(mail_deliver_save+0x185) [0x7fe3283f1765] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-lda.so.0(mail_deliver+0xeb) [0 x7fe3283f1b6b] -> dovecot/lmtp() [0x405d80] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x3f) [0x7fe327e7398f] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handl er_run_internal+0xd7) [0x7fe327e74897] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x9) [0x7fe327e739f9] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x3 8) [0x7fe327e73a78] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7fe327e22ca3] Sep 4 16:10:30 mail dovecot: lmtp(21383, user): Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 21383 returned error 83 (Out of memory (service lmtp { vsz_limit=256 MB }, you may need to increase it) - set CORE_OUTOFMEM=1 environment to get core dump) -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz, arekm / maven.pl

stemmer or no-stemmer..
by Akash 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hi, In the documentation of FTS lucene, I need little more clarification about this section: -------------------------------------------------- --with-lucene --with-stemmer The second switch is only required if you have compiled libstemmer yourself or if it's included in the CLucene you are using. -------------------------------------------------- I am totally unsure but as I understand, on Debian testing, the stemmer support for libclucene comes as part of libclucene-contribs1 package (which isn't a required dependency and doesn't get installed if I install dovecot from repos). Please correct me if I am wrong. When I install dovecot-lucene from repos, libclucene-core1 and libstemmer install with it (but no libclucene-contribs1). Does that mean dovecot search has stemmer support? Now I am compiling dovecot and libclucene for Debian stable (which doesn't have latest libs in repos). If I don't compile the contribs part in clucene package but compile dovecot with --with-stemmer, do I get the stemmer support? If I totally opt of this stemmer thing, do I lose anything on search performance? And when you have a no_snowball option, what is the need of libstemmer altogether? Please help me through these confusions.. -Regards, Akash

Migrating from 2.0.x to 2.2
by Jens Dueholm Christensen 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

Hi I'm about to migrate a setup with <20 IMAP (but with a few million mails in all) accounts that belong to the same system-user on an older machine running Dovecot 2.0.13 to a new machine running Dovecot 2.2.13 (or possibly newer..). Mails are stored in Maildirs with no special or advanced features (like alternate storage etc etc). Filesystems are prepared for the expected amount of inodes required, and for the time beeing a change to mdbox is seen as an added complexity. One requirement of the migration is that messageID is not changed - mails are referenced by other systems that expect to find individual mails by the ID. Since dsync is incompatible between 2.0<->2.1<->2.2 what is the best way to perform this migration? I was hoping of rsync'ing all Maildirs from the old machine to the new one (including indexes etc etc) and power up Dovecot 2.2.x and see what happens, but is that possible or is there another (and better) way short of installing 2.0.x on the new machine, rsync everything and then upgrade to 2.2.x? Regards, Jens Dueholm Christensen

how to profiling imap process with valgrind

Hi, I want to profile runtime performance of imap and pop3 processes. There processes are forked by dovecot master process. I am wondering if there is a way I can profile these processes with valgrind. I tried "service = /bin/valgrind /bin/imap" but this did not work. Thanks,
