[Dovecot] doveadm stats top exit with error
by Andreas Schulze 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hello, looks like a cosmetical problem but I like to mention it though: doveadm stats top is interactive. To exit I press as usual CTRL+C and get ^Cdoveadm(root): Error: close(-1[doveadm-stats.c:496]) failed: Interrupted system call It's dovecot-2.2.10. Andreas

[Dovecot] Writing an FTS plugin
by John Morrissey 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hi, I'm having some trouble writing an FTS plugin that uses notmuch (http://notmuchmail.org/) as the backend. As a proof of concept, I'm adding a hardcoded UID to the search results in the plugin's lookup handler: seq_range_array_add(&result->definite_uids, 1, 42); but this UID is never returned by IMAP SEARCH commands. I know the plugin is being used, since I'm also syslogging immediately before the call to seq_range_array_add(). Interestingly, SEARCH commands return correct results (based on the mailbox content and the search terms specified), but I'm not sure where those results are coming from. The notmuch plugin is the only configured FTS plugin: mail_plugins = $mail_plugins fts fts_notmuch plugin { fts = notmuch } What might I be doing wrong? Additionally, notmuch returns message filenames, which I'll need to translate to UIDs. I've seen maildir_uidlist_get_uid(), but I'm not sure where to get the struct maildir_uidlist arg it needs. notmuch only supports the Maildir format, so using a maildir_* function seems a reasonably safe assumption, but is there a better way? john -- John Morrissey _o /\ ---- __o jwm(a)horde.net _-< \_ / \ ---- < \, www.horde.net/ __(_)/_(_)________/ \_______(_) /_(_)__

[Dovecot] Problem with LDA. When vacation auto-reply sent, the field from=<>.
by Dmitry 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hi, My problem is that when vacation auto-reply sent the field from=<> Because of this does not work "sender_dependent_relayhost_maps" in postfix. My scheme is: There are several postfix on different machines 1.1.1.1 - domain1 2.2.2.2 - domain2 3.3.3.3 - domain3 All they send messages to one server virtual_transport = lmtp:10.10.10.10:24 where mail is stored. In 10.10.10.10 installed dovecot 2.2.9, dovecot-pigeonhole 0.4.2 and another posfix In postfix inet_interfaces = 10.10.10.10 sender_dependent_relayhost_maps = hash:$config_directory/relayhost_maps relayhost_maps @domain1 [1.1.1.1] @domain2 [2.2.2.2] @domain3 [3.3.3.3] Sieve script make from Roundcube require ["vacation"]; # rule:[autoreply] if true { vacation :days 1 :subject "Test." "Test."; } (if add [":from" string] nothing changes) The letter comes, script fulfills, vacation auto-reply sent. But either /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -f <> -- user@senddomain or, if write in 15-lda.conf submission_host = 10.10.10.10:25 postfix log Jan 1 00:00:00 mail pf-OUT/cleanup[6098]: 4CD104A8A4: message-id=<dovecot-sieve-1390316174-295666-0@mail> Jan 1 00:00:00 mail pf-OUT/qmgr[5950]: 4CD104A8A4: from=<>, size=693, nrcpt=1 (queue active) How to make dovecot and dovecot-pigeonhole write in field MAIL FROM:? Also, I noticed that does not work protocol lda { .. # remember to give proper permissions for these files as well log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda-errors.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log } from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA Logs are not written.

[Dovecot] IDLE dropping EXISTS events on mass message arrival
by Eric Wong 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hi, I'm not sure if this is some throttling/DoS protection or a bug. I didn't see notice anything like it mentioned looking at the NEWS file from hg, this is on 2.1.7 on Debian stable. I have a client doing IDLE on INBOX.vomiteer. When individual messages arrive with some time interval in between them, I get EXISTS events for each message as expected. However, when I store a bunch of messages at once (via tag + mass copy in mutt on a fast-ish connection), I get a few EXISTS events (sometimes one, sometimes two) even though I copied a lot of new messages over. I expected to get an EXISTS event for each message which arrived, but perhaps there's some sort of DoS/throttling mechanism. strace -t -s4096 output of the dovecot process below: fd=13 is inotify, you'll see large read(13, ... indicating multiple filenames from inotify. However, only one EXISTS message got written to the socket. I've filtered out the gettimeofday syscalls for brevity. 07:30:02 epoll_wait(9, {}, 6, 3937) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/cur", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/new", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/new", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/cur", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/dovecot.index.log", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=25920, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 fstat64(10, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=25920, ...}) = 0 07:30:06 epoll_wait(9, {}, 6, 7865) = 0 07:30:14 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [1], 4) = 0 07:30:14 write(11, "* OK Still here\r\n", 17) = 17 07:30:14 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [0], 4) = 0 07:30:14 time(NULL) = 1390289414 07:30:14 epoll_wait(9, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=4159555408, u64=4159555408}}}, 6, 22124) = 1 07:30:17 read(13, "\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\t\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94623P14841.dcvr,S=1580,W=1619:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\n\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94624P14841.dcvr,S=1580,W=1619:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\v\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94625P14841.dcvr,S=1422,W=1460:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\f\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94626P14841.dcvr,S=1422,W=1460:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\r\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94627P14841.dcvr,S=1861,W=1907:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\16\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94628P14841.dcvr,S=1861,W=1907:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\17\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94629P14841.dcvr,S=4732,W=4854:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\20\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94630P14841.dcvr,S=4732,W=4854:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\21\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94631P14841.dcvr,S=4028,W=4128:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\22\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94632P14841.dcvr,S=4028,W=4128:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\23\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94633P14841.dcvr,S=3865,W=3968:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\24\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94634P14841.dcvr,S=3865,W=3968:2,S\0\0", 32768) = 768 07:30:17 epoll_wait(9, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=4159555408, u64=4159555408}}}, 6, 499) = 1 07:30:17 read(13, "\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\25\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94635P14841.dcvr,S=4092,W=4189:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\26\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94636P14841.dcvr,S=4092,W=4189:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\27\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94637P14841.dcvr,S=1517,W=1552:2,S\0\0\2\0\0\0\200\0\0\0\30\365\r\0000\0\0\0001390289417.M94638P14841.dcvr,S=1517,W=1552:2,S\0\0", 32768) = 256 07:30:17 epoll_wait(9, {}, 6, 498) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/new", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/cur", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=12288, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/dovecot.index.log", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 fstat64(10, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 pread64(10, "\200\200\200\207@\0\0\20\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0$\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\200\200\200\214\0\1\0\20\0\0$\0\337!\336R\344\231\2L\0\0\0\0\t\"\336R\t\"\336R\0\0\0\0\t\"\336R\0\0\0\0007\n\0\0\200\200\200\204 \0\0\20@\0\4\0\234e\0\0\200\200\200\242\2\0\0\20\317\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\320\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\321\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\322\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\323\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\324\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\325\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\326\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\327\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\330\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\331\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\332\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\333\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\334\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\335\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\336\0\0\0\10\0\0\0\200\200\200\207@\0\0\20\1\0\0\0\0\260\2L\0\0\0\0\4\0\4\0\1\0\0\0\200\200\200\242\0\2\0\20\317\0\0\0\250\275\0\0\320\0\0\0\234\277\0\0\321\0\0\0|\301\0\0\322\0\0\0|\304\0\0\323\0\0\0\200\307\0\0\324\0\0\0|\312\0\0\325\0\0\0h\315\0\0\326\0\0\0\\\320\0\0\327\0\0\0\224\323\0\0\330\0\0\0\210\325\0\0\331\0\0\0h\327\0\0\332\0\0\0h\332\0\0\333\0\0\0l\335\0\0\334\0\0\0h\340\0\0\335\0\0\0T\343\0\0\336\0\0\0H\346\0\0\200\200\200\204 \0\0\0200\0\4\0\337\0\0\0", 8192, 25920) = 408 07:30:17 pread64(10, "", 8192, 26328) = 0 07:30:17 stat64("/home/ew/.maildir/.INBOX.vomiteer/dovecot.index.log", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 fstat64(10, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=26328, ...}) = 0 07:30:17 time(NULL) = 1390289417 07:30:17 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [1], 4) = 0 07:30:17 write(11, "* 32 EXISTS\r\n", 13) = 13 07:30:17 setsockopt(11, SOL_TCP, TCP_CORK, [0], 4) = 0 07:30:17 epoll_wait(9, <unfinished ...> (Nothing happened after this) #

This is probably easy but how would a set a secret static master password so that if I typed it in for any login it would be happy? I can't use the * separator method in this case because it screws up squirrelmail.

[Dovecot] Failure in doveconf
by Andrew Ray 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

I ran into a problem while configuring dovecot. Quickly reading the paragraph below, I saw "yes" as one of the options, and put that into the config, as below: # In case of password mismatches, log the attempted password. Valid values are # no, plain and sha1. sha1 can be useful for detecting brute force password # attempts vs. user simply trying the same password over and over again. # You can also truncate the value to n chars by appending ":n" (e.g. sha1:6). auth_verbose_passwords = yes The result from doveconf -n was: doveconf: Error: x�η doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: 0pη (where the error message was always a changing, apparently random set of characters.) So I managed, by going back through the config file and commenting out options, to find this was the problem and then finally read what are the acceptable values. Any other place that I have tried to give a non acceptable value I get a reasonable error message with line number and problem. Well, now I fixed my original problem, but something needs to be adjusted in the error handling code.
