[Dovecot] Mbox problem in 1.1.3 solved in 1.1.4
by Tomas Ögren 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hello. This is just a FYI mail to get the problem (and solution) into a searchable archive.. I ran into the following problem with mbox: Panic: IMAP(XXX): file index-sync.c: line 39 (index_mailbox_set_recent_uid): assertion failed: (seq_range_exists(&ibox->recent_flags, uid)) Which was fully reproducable in 1.1.3, but in the newly released 1.1.4 this does not happen anymore. All is well, birds are singing etc. /Tomas -- Tomas Ögren, stric(a)cs.umu.se, http://www.cs.umu.se/~stric/ `- Student and SysAdmin at Computing Science, University of Umeå

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.1.4 managesieve patch
by Geoffroy Desvernay 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm maintainer of managesieve's FreeBSD port. (cc to dovecot's port maintainer) Stephan, do you plan to make available a 1.1.4 specific patch ? Dovecot's port assume that managesieve patch include dovecot's version number: so it may help the port's upgrade process. (seems that 1.1.3's patch is applying smoothly) Another question: I didn't found anything about managesieve support in dovecot 1.2x: - is the patch still required ? - should managesieve server work with dovecot 1.2 in actual state (0.10.3) I'll soon try it on a small setup (FreeBSD+Maildir+fs quotas+managesieve) - -- Geoffroy Desvernay -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkjp79sACgkQGbFYzwF8gKrubACfYBDeX88iGNAePPfeut/YksJ4 6zgAoJAmOTvx6fKjNQ4Vs7VWkxFHjMCp =8G2x -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

by Timo Sirainen 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.4.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.4.tar.gz.sig - SORT: Yet another assert-crashfix when renumbering index sort IDs. - ACL plugin fixes: Negative rights were actually treated as positive rights. 'k' right didn't prevent creating parent/child/child mailbox. ACL groups weren't working. - Maildir++ quota: Fixes to rebuilding when quota limit wasn't specified in Dovecot (0 limit or limit read from maildirsize). - mbox: Several bugfixes causing errors and crashes. - Several fixes to expire plugin / expire-tool. - lock_method=dotlock could have deadlocked with itself. - Many error handling fixes and log message improvements.

[Dovecot] LSUB strangeness continued
by Don Steiny 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hi, I wrote earlier to mention that I am having touble with LSUB command reporting "permission denied' on some accounts and not others that are identical as far as I can see. I am trying various combinations of stuff, so i set up a new IMAP account in Thunderbird that went to one of the accounts I am having trouble with. I was not surprised to get "Server says permission denied". I was surprised that after a minute or so, it went ahead downloaded the mail messages? What the heck? Does Thunderbird try another command? -Don

[Dovecot] Bug in dovecot 1.2 dict
by Sascha Wilde 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hi Timo, Hi *, in 1.2 the dict server (tested with sqlite backend) is somewhat broken. It bails out regularly with "Fatal: dict: Socket already exists: ..." (looks like a race condition as it doesn't fail always). We discovered that this new code in dict-server.c seems to be the problem: server->fd = net_listen_unix_unlink_stale(path, 64); if (server->fd == -1) { if (errno == EADDRINUSE) i_fatal("Socket already exists: %s", path); else i_fatal("net_listen_unix(%s) failed: %m", path); } replacing it with the old code: int i = 0; [...] while (server->fd == -1) { server->fd = net_listen_unix(path, 64); if (server->fd != -1) break; if (errno != EADDRINUSE || ++i == 2) i_fatal("net_listen_unix(%s) failed: %m", path); /* see if it really exists */ if (net_connect_unix(path) != -1 || errno != ECONNREFUSED) i_fatal("Socket already exists: %s", path); /* delete and try again */ if (unlink(path) < 0) i_fatal("unlink(%s) failed: %m", path); } "fixes" the problem. But I think the real fix would have to be done in the new function `net_listen_unix_unlink_stale'. cheers sascha -- Sascha Wilde OpenPGP key: 4BB86568 Intevation GmbH, Osnabrück http://www.intevation.de/~wilde/ Amtsgericht Osnabrück, HR B 18998 http://www.intevation.de/ Geschäftsführer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner
