If local Dovecot stops working, check lo
by Steve Litt 17 Jul '14

Hi all, You probably know this already, but just in case... Let's say you have your email client getting mail from a Dovecot server on the same computer (which is a really good way of doing things, by the way). Then one day your email client starts saying "connection refused" after a suitably long timeout. So then, to find out where things are getting stuck, you do the following command: openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:993 -quiet And you don't even get an OK back. This means it's not your username or password, because you never even got that far. Before spending a lot of time doing diagnostic tests and narrowing it to the root cause, try this as root: ifdown lo ifup lo A malfunctioning lo will cause Dovecot not to connect to clients. My experience with Debian Wheezy is that lo "goes down" a lot, so this is one of the first things I do when odd stuff happens.

Resource Temporarily Unavailable on replicator-doveadm
by Cassidy Larson 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

We're running 2.2.13 on two servers with replication. Still trying to get my replication tweaked correctly and I’m noticing a bunch of these errors for the same users over and over again: dsync-server(user(a)host.com): Error: write(/var/run/dovecot/replicator-doveadm) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable The 5-7 that I see all have quite a number of individual mailboxes (20+), I’m wondering if that has something to do with it? Also, my replicator status for full resync requests has been hovering around 2300-2400 the last few days: # doveadm replicator status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 2410 Waiting 'failed' requests 1 Total number of known users 9836 In checking the replication status for some of the “Resource temporarily unavailable” list from above, if I run it multiple times it outputs different results for the fast and full sync time: # doveadm replicator status user(a)host.com username priority fast sync full sync failed user(a)host.com none 00:20:21 49:43:34 - # doveadm replicator status user(a)host.com username priority fast sync full sync failed user(a)host.com none 00:10:55 00:10:55 - # doveadm replicator status user(a)host.com username priority fast sync full sync failed user(a)host.com none 00:10:56 00:10:56 - # doveadm replicator status user(a)host.com username priority fast sync full sync failed user(a)host.com none 00:10:57 00:10:57 - # doveadm replicator status user(a)host.com username priority fast sync full sync failed user(a)host.com none 00:20:24 49:43:37 - doveconf output for the replicator service is: service replicator { process_limit = 10 process_min_avail = 2 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { group = mailsys mode = 0666 user = mailsys } unix_listener replicator { group = mailsys mode = 0666 user = mailsys } } Anybody have any clues or suggestions? I’d be much appreciative. Thanks, Cassidy
