For example, this occurence is typical of the 24 which we've logged since Sept. 26 (which is as far back as we keep dovecot log data online; for the record, we upgraded from 1.0.10 to 1.1.3 on Sept. 23): Oct 8 13:56:39 alcor dovecot: pop3[15127] USER1, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN: Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0, xfer=12/27 Oct 8 13:56:39 alcor dovecot: pop3-login: Login: [15118], USER2, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN Oct 8 13:56:39 alcor dovecot: wrapper[15139]: pop3, USER2, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN Oct 8 13:56:39 alcor dovecot: pop3-login: Login: [15058], USER3, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN Oct 8 13:56:39 alcor dovecot: wrapper[15141]: pop3, USER3, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN Oct 8 13:56:39 alcor dovecot: pop3[15141] USER3, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN: mkdir(/home/USER3/.imap/INBOX) failed: Disk quota exceeded Oct 8 13:56:39 alcor dovecot: imap-login: Login: [15121], USER4, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN Oct 8 13:56:39 alcor dovecot: wrapper[15143]: imap, USER4, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN Oct 8 13:56:39 alcor dovecot: pop3[15139] USER2, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN: Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0, xfer=12/27 Oct 8 13:56:39 alcor dovecot: imap-login: Login: [15001], USER5, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN Oct 8 13:56:40 alcor dovecot: wrapper[15159]: imap, USER5, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN Oct 8 13:56:40 alcor dovecot: imap-login: Login: [15158], USER6, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN Oct 8 13:56:40 alcor dovecot: wrapper[15162]: imap, USER6, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN Oct 8 13:56:40 alcor dovecot: imap[15159] USER5, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN: Disconnected: Logged out bytes=305/13377 Oct 8 13:56:40 alcor dovecot: imap[15162] USER6, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN: Disconnected: Logged out bytes=110/356 Oct 8 13:56:40 alcor dovecot: Panic: imap[15143] USER4, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN: file index-mail.c: line 1091 (index_mail_close): assertion failed: (!mail->data.destroying_stream) Oct 8 13:56:40 alcor dovecot: imap[15143] USER4, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN: Raw backtrace: dovecot-imap [0x4a3ddd] -> dovecot-imap [0x4a4b9d] -> dovecot-imap(i_fatal+0) [0x4a40d1] -> dovecot-imap(index_mail_close+0xfa) [0x4538d4] -> dovecot-imap [0x4538fe] -> dovecot-imap(index_mail_set_seq+0x6a) [0x453ac6] -> dovecot-imap [0x445e6e] -> dovecot-imap(mail_set_seq+0x28) [0x45f6a5] -> dovecot-imap(index_storage_search_next_nonblock+0xe9) [0x458ff0] -> dovecot-imap(mailbox_search_next_nonblock+0x33) [0x462de3] -> dovecot-imap(mailbox_search_next+0x2e) [0x462da2] -> dovecot-imap [0x415e99] -> dovecot-imap(cmd_copy+0x19c) [0x4160ac] -> dovecot-imap [0x41d0ac] -> dovecot-imap [0x41d2e9] -> dovecot-imap [0x41d41c] -> dovecot-imap [0x41d460] -> dovecot-imap(client_input+0xb4) [0x41d5ed] -> dovecot-imap(io_loop_handler_run+0x17d) [0x4aea11] -> dovecot-imap(io_loop_run+0x3b) [0x4adc6a] -> dovecot-imap(main+0x99) [0x42908b] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x2b306fee78c4] -> dovec! ot-imap [0x414939] Oct 8 13:56:40 alcor dovecot: child 15143 (imap) killed with signal 6 Oct 8 13:56:40 alcor dovecot: pop3[15141] USER3, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN: Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=1/12816, del=1/1, size=12798, xfer=40/12944 Oct 8 13:56:40 alcor dovecot: imap-login: Login: [15003], USER7, NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN Although the usernames and IP addresses have been elided, each USERn token always represents the same specific account wherever it appears. >> - this doesn't happen often, but once in a while we see assertion >> failures at line 163 of src/pop3-login/client-authenticate.c or >> line 200 of src/imap-login/client-authenticate.c > >I think I've managed to get this also sometimes when killing dovecot- >auth or doing something else "wrong" (I don't remember exactly), but >not during normal operation.

>> I've been working around the problem by deleting the contents of >> ~user/.imap for affected users, but I'd really prefer to fix it >> properly. :-) Any suggestions would be gratefully received. > >I think this should get fixed by itself? Although the first login fails, >the next one should succeed. Yes, that's right. I didn't realize it at first, because we were also seeing other problems (eg assertion failure at line 39 of index-sync.c) which did require the index to be deleted. I've since made the following changes: 1) commented out the assertion at line 39 of index-sync.c (as per http://www.nabble.com/dovecot-panic-after-upgrade-1.0.15-to-1.1.2-td1909850…) 2) recompiled dovecot without optimization (ie, gcc -O0 instead of -O2) (as per http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg12936.html) 3) reverted to using flock for file locking instead of fcntl (we'd been using flock with dovecot 1.0.10; 1.1.3 used fcntl by default in a couple of places, so I changed it back to see what would happen) After this, we've seen fewer problems, but there are still the occasional ones: - the original corrupted transaction log error which prompted this thread - we still see the occasional assertion failure at line 1091 of index-mail.c; this is the one that I'd hoped to solve by recompiling without optimization, but at least it seems to be happening less frequently than before - this doesn't happen often, but once in a while we see assertion failures at line 163 of src/pop3-login/client-authenticate.c or line 200 of src/imap-login/client-authenticate.c >Can you reproduce this by running imaptest (on a test account)? >http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest Actually this and your other suggestions may not be necessary; I think I just realized what's been going on. I missed this originally, but on reflection I notice in the logs that every time the "record size too small" error appears, inevitably the user involved is over disk quota and out of grace period. For example, Oct 3 17:52:21 alcor dovecot: imap[14973] XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN: Corrupted transaction log file /home/XXXX/mail/.imap/sent-mail/dovecot.index.log: record size too small (type=0xcd91, offset=8180, size=0) Oct 3 17:52:21 alcor dovecot: imap[14973] XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN: fscking index file (in-memory index) Oct 3 17:52:21 alcor dovecot: imap[14973] XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN: Transaction log got desynced for index (in-memory index) Oct 3 17:52:21 alcor dovecot: imap[14973] XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN: Disconnected: IMAP session state is inconsistent, please relogin. bytes=169/1848 Oct 3 17:52:22 alcor dovecot: imap-login: Login: [14998], XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN Oct 3 17:52:22 alcor dovecot: wrapper[15023]: imap, XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN Oct 3 17:52:22 alcor dovecot: imap[15023] XXXX, NNN.NNN.NN.NNN: open(/home/XXXX/mail/.imap/CFI-Howe/.temp.alcor.15023.e786c194b1dcc08c) failed: Disk quota exceeded Having seen this, I went back to the saved log for September 30th (the one containing the excerpt I pasted into my original message in this thread) -- and interestingly, I found that the quota failure wasn't recorded there. I don't know what was different about that occurrence, but everything I've seen recently suggests that "record size too small" is due to interaction with the quota system. ...so this is where I admit that I have indeed read http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/FS; unfortunately, the only user-writable file system on this machine that doesn't have (or need to have!) disk quotas enabled is /var/tmp, which doesn't seem to be a suitable place for dovecot indexes. Under the circumstances, are you still interested in seeing ImapTest results and a backtrace? If so, should I do that before or after upgrading to 1.1.4?

[Dovecot] Request for help with new plugin
by John Lightsey 18 Oct '08

18 Oct '08

Hi there, I was having lots of trouble with the normal expire plugin so I decided to try and come up with a plugin that handles the trash directory in the same way as Courier (when the user logs out it should clean messages from the trash that have been there for more than X days.) I used the expire and trash plugins as a guide but there are probably a number of things done wrong here and I have plenty of questions. To use this you'd need to run autoreconf for the autotools scripts, compile, make, make install, then add "autoexpire" to the imap/pop3 mail_plugins lists and "autoexpire = Trash 7" to the plugin section. 1. Is there any documentation of how the hook system and virtual mailboxes work outside of the source code? 2. I'd like the Trash cleanup to occur at logout, but the closest I could find was mailbox close. This makes the behavior a little quirky. It seems like Dovecot closes the mailbox each time it performs an operation on it, so when the client gets a list of mail in the box it does a close and the oldest items in the returned list will actually be expunged. 3. Is SAVE_DATE the correct field to be looking for here? I want the expiration to be based on the amount of time the letter has spent in the trash folder. 4. For searching through the Trash folder, SEARCH_BEFORE doesn't seem to match up with SAVE_DATE. Is there some other way to limit the search results to the dates that will fall before a certain SAVE_DATE value? J.D.

[Dovecot] deliver not picking up INDEX setting?
by Tim Bishop 18 Oct '08

18 Oct '08

I'm using the post-login script approach to give more customisation to where our users can store their mail. It detects the location and type of the mailbox at runtime and passes it through using the environment to imapd. This works great. However, I can't seem to make deliver do the same. I pass it the same MAIL and NAMESPACE settings in the environment: MAIL=maildir:/home/cur/tdb/Maildir:INDEX=/var/state/dovecot-indexes/tdb NAMESPACE_1=maildir:/home/cur/tdb/Maildir:INDEX=/var/state/dovecot-indexes/tdb NAMESPACE_1_INBOX=1 NAMESPACE_1_LIST=1 NAMESPACE_1_PREFIX=INBOX. NAMESPACE_1_SEP=. NAMESPACE_1_SUBSCRIPTIONS=1 NAMESPACE_1_TYPE=private (plus some others set by my MTA) So INDEX appears to be set correctly. deliver does correctly pick up the mailbox location and has no trouble delivering mail, but the indexes are put in the Maildir directory and not under the indexes directory. Is it possible to make deliver respect the INDEX setting? Thanks, Tim. -- Tim Bishop http://www.bishnet.net/tim/ PGP Key: 0x5AE7D984

[Dovecot] Multiple maildirs
by Vassilis Vatikiotis 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is is possible to specify multiple maildir location in mail_location? (default_mail_env in my case since I'm using version 1.0.rc15/debian etch). What I want to achieve is receive mail in /var/spool/mail, which is going to contain 1 Maildir per user, and have /home/%u/Maildir/ to store (move) messages from spool location. Postfix is taking care of the 1st (delivery in maildir format in spool location), and dovecot should (I want to) be able to read messages from both locations. Ideally, is something like: default_mail_env = maildir:/var/spool/mail:/home/%u/Maildir possible? thx -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFI9MEcgUWLzP4xLCERAoLKAJ4ySsAfIKDqIenmww1sTApcjikM3wCeIBA1 vO0glRfNXUtajKMaPYHM8L4= =eL+3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
