[Dovecot] Running dovecot under Cygwin
by Manolis Spanakis 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hi, In http://wiki2.dovecot.org/DovecotFeatures I found the following statement regarding devcot support of cygwin: Cygwin works after a few code changes, but doesn't support SCM_RIGHTS I downloaded "dovecot-2.2.13.tar.gr" and tried to compile it under cygwin version 1.7.30 (0.272/5/3) CYGWIN_NT-6.3-WOW642.580 (32-bit). As I executed the: $./configure I got the following error: error: fd passing is required for Dovecot to work If I bypass this error by changing "configure" I get no other errors either in "configure" or "make". It seems that "src/lib/fdpass.c" is the only library incompatible with cygwin. Is there any file version available that provides a solution? Thank you in advance, Manolis Spanakis

[Dovecot] CRAM-MD5 authentication memory leak problem.
by Kenji Tonami 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

I used dovecot Auth daemon for postfix SMTP Auth. I saved clear password to OpenLDAP, then I set up that as the password will be used. There ware no trouble when authentication had sucessed. But when authentication failed by using "CRAM-MD5", it caused increasing memory allocation of dovecot auth daemon. In case of using "PLAIN" or "LOGIN", there were no problem even if authentication had failed. I got same result on dovecot-2.0.9(RHEL6) and dovecot-2.2.13. Does anyone know similar case? I tried restarting dovecot Auth daemon by using service_count parameter in service auth settings. When authentication failed, message on postfix was as follows: ** 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: "CRAM-MD5 string" When authentication failed and restarting dovecot auth daemon at the same time, message on postfix was changed as follows: ** 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server It looks like that the failed authentication request is suspended by restarting auth daemon. -- config (10-auth.conf) auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 -- -- config (10-master.conf) service auth { executable = auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix group = postfix } } -- -- auth-ldap.conf.ext passdb { driver = ldap args = /etc/dovecot/ldap-passdb.conf.ext } -- -- ldap-passdb.conf.ext host = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dn = LDAP Manager DN dnpass = Manager DN password base = ou=mail,dc=xxxxxx,dc=xx scope = subtree pass_attrs = mailID=user,mailClearPassword=password pass_filter = (mailID=%u) auth_bind = no default_pass_scheme = plain -- Thanks. -- Kenji Tonami

Re: [Dovecot] Outlook 2007 & 2010 hangs in v2.2?

It turned out to be a TCP scaling problem. If a router/firewall drops packets with a TCP scaling option set, the endpoints disagree on how many outstanding non-ACK packets are allowed, resulting in timeouts. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935400 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_window_scale_option The Microsoft KB does hint those versions of Outlook may be affected, but I can't figure out why there would be a difference between Dovecot 2.1 and 2.2.

[Dovecot] Sharing folder with others
by Claudinei Santos 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hello, The sharing folders with dovecot works, but when the user that i shared the folder reads any e-mails in the folder, all my subcribed folder (the folders that i do not shared with this user) is unsubcribed from my account. The only folders that remains is the default ones ( inbox, trash, spam and sent) and the folder that i shared with that user. my configurations: # separator for master-users, example: "login_user*master_user -> user(a)domain.tld*masteruser auth_master_user_separator = * passdb passwd-file { driver = passwd-file args = /etc/dovecot-masterusers master = yes } namespace private { type = private separator = / prefix = #location defaults to mail_location. inbox = yes } namespace shared { type = shared separator = / prefix = Share Folders/%%u/ location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/vmail/%d/%%n:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/vmail/%d/%n/shared/%%u subscriptions = yes list = children } # cat /etc/dovecot-postlogin #!/bin/bash export MASTER_USER="$USER" exec /usr/lib64/dovecot/imap "$@" Can someone help me out with this? Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] director with multiple instances
by Will Yardley 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

I'm experiencing some problems similar to those described in http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-July/137250.html except with 2.0.9. Adding http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-July/084906.html to the main config didn't seem to help, nor did setting the list of director and backend servers to just the system itself.

[Dovecot] What are the options for HA and\or replication and\or storage?
by Eliezer Croitoru 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

I am considering couple options of converting a current service into a HA using multi servers or any other solutions. The point is that I am thinking about the options and which I am looking for. NFS can be a storage which has it's own pros and cons. There is the option of DRBD but as of now it's limited for two hosts. What options do exist out-there as a solution? The main issues are that the current service is based on Maildir and is on one server with resierfs. The service is composed of one host with 50k users couple disks in raid6. On the same machine we have postfix as mailer. I would like to hear about HA environment that I can use to replicate the boxes. My basic research leaded me to smtp on one host or more and using lmtp to send the messages to dovecot o another host which will have a replicated host and will be used with storage system based on ISCSI or NFS. Any other idea to enhance the current one or to replace it is more then just welcome. Thanks, Eliezer

[Dovecot] General questions about TCP replication with dsync
by Patrick De Zordo 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi Guys, I would like to question why I see this errors in my logs. Let explain me! Dovecot version: 2.2.9 (on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) Ive configured our dovecot servers (2 servers) to do the TCP replication with dsync. This is working flawless. 1. Question: In logs I can see this errors on every sync (on the slave server / server without changes which should be updated): ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- dsync-server(email(a)example.com): Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/replicator-doveadm) failed: Permission denied ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Googling a bit gave me the information This should be normal..? Well ok, errors in logs are not nice to see, but can someone confirm this is really ok? Timo? 2. Question (much more important): We are using sieve scripts for our users, they are replicated to the replica-host but this errors appears in logs on every synchronized message: ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- dsync-server(email(a)example.com): Error: Failed to access mailbox dovecot/sieve: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. dsync-server(email(a)example.com): Error: stat(/var/vmail/example.com/email/.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory ---8<----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- So whats going on there? This is strange and should not be, right? Any hints? Thank you very much! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Distinti saluti / Kind regards De Zordo Patrick patrick(a)spamreducer.eu

[Dovecot] IMAP copy fails because the mailbox size of user1 is exceeding the quota limit of user2??
by Katja Wegner 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi all, I do have a mailbox-quota problem in dovecot 2.0.19 that is beond my understanding. Could someone pls. give me a hint. - user1 max. mailbox quota is set to 1GB, the current mailbox size of user1 is 15MB - user2 max. mailbox quota is set to 10MB, the current mailbox size of user1 is 10kB - user1 shares the folder 'shared_folder' to user2 with all rights (read, write ...) - user2 has subscribed to 'shared_folder' the problem: - user2 tries to move a mail (20kB) to the shared folder via telnet: ". copy 1:1 shared/user1/shared_folder" - it fails with: "NO [OVERQUOTA] Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)" - copying the same mail to a local folder of user2 works without problems. - After I raised the max. mailbox quota of user2 from 10MB to 16MB it was possible to move the mail to the 'shared_folder' of user1. It looks like the copy operation fails because the mailbox size of user1 is exceeding the quota limit of user2! Is this possible? Is this a bug?

[Dovecot] attachment sis + EMLINK (too many links) = segfault bug (2.2.12)
by Pavel Stano 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi, we use attachment dedup with lots of emails (still migrating to it from maildir). We use netapp storage with wafl filesystem over nfs. Problem is that netapp has hard limit of 100k hardlinks to one file. And we encountered it. Problem is that dovecot start do segfault (lmtp,dsync,pop3 etc) when it happend when tried to deliver new emails with that attachment. Here is strace of dsync: 6740 link("/nfsmnt/mailatch1/f9/10/hashes/f9108ddaa156ac15738e41ed3bedec1eda50175d", "/nfsmnt/mailatch1/f9/10/f9108ddaa156ac15738e41ed3bedec1eda50175d-7bb7a20ddb598853541a000028db4a9f") = -1 EMLINK (Too many links) 6740 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- ls -lh: -rw------- 100000 vmail vmail 4.7K Apr 28 16:54 /nfsmnt/mailatch1/f9/10/hashes/f9108ddaa156ac15738e41ed3bedec1eda50175d We were using mail_attachment_min_size=4kb, we solve it by increasing it to 8kb. It would be nice to somehow fix this problem. Like not crash when EMLINK happend and maybe do not deduplicate attachments but deliver email without dedup. Or create second file in hashes/ and start hardlinking it instead of original. AFAIK ext4 has also hard-link limit 64k (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_link#Limitations_of_hard_links) So this can happen to anyone with lots of emails.
