[Dovecot] Error: sieve_execute_bytecode(/var/sieve/global.sievec) failed
by Gary V 13 Jan '09

I'm just getting familiar with Dovecot. I get this error when I send mail to a mailbox that is over quota. I have no problem with the way quota is working and I have no problem with the sieve script detecting spam and delivering it to the Spam folder. Just trying to figure out why I get this error when quota is involved: Error: sieve_execute_bytecode(/var/sieve/global.sievec) failed See logs at: http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/sieve-error.txt --------------------------------------- /var/sieve/global.sieve: require "fileinto"; if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" { fileinto "Spam"; } --------------------------------------- # 1.1.8: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 i686 Debian 5.0 ext3 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 6060 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): autocreate quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): autocreate quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-crammd5.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail plugin: quota: maildir:User quota autocreate: Spam autosubscribe: Spam --------------------------------------- driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=postfix user=postfix password=pfix_password default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/var/vmail/',maildir) AS home, 6060 AS uid, 6060 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' --------------------------------------- Thanks much, -- Gary V

[Dovecot] Dovecot, pop3, mBox
by Matej Golob 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

I have to migrate some old system to new one with installed dovecot (It's my first time using dovecot). I have all mails inside /var/spool/mail folder (mbox files). I can connect and receive mails via POP3, but problem is that dovecot doesn't clear mbox file (everytime when I make send/receive in mailclient program I get all mails again). If I look into log file I see (when I do send/receive in mail client program) Jan 11 21:09:12 ns1 dovecot: POP3(matej): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=5/23934, del=5/5, size=23848 Here is output of dovecot -n # 1.1.6: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.27-desktop-0.rc8.2mnb i686 Mandriva Linux release 2009.0 (Official) for i586 protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/tls/private/dovecot.pem disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xv%08Xu auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd Thanks for help.

Dear all, I've been experiencing this problem and still can't find a solution for this. I want to have a dynamic quota for each virtual user. I've followed instruction from : http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL http://workaround.org/articles/ispmail-etch/ But still can't give what I want.

[Dovecot] Deliver *sometimes* delivers via /tmp?
by Kim Bisgaard 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi, I'm running dovecot (1.1.7) deliver and sieve (1.1.5) on a Fedora 9 platform, using selinux targetet mode. Most of the mail deliveries goes well, but once deliver tried to copy the mail to the /tmp directory, which it seems it not allowed by selinux. I guess that deliver wants to sanitize the mail or something and therefore copies it to /tmp. Before I ask for selinux to allow this, I would like to know why? It could also be an error, leading deliver into a seldom used piece of code? I order to get the mail delivered I put selinux into permissive mode, using: semanage permissive -a dovecot_deliver_t And then the mail is delivered - below are excerpts from different logs and I have *NOT* attached the message which could not get delivered - because of its size.

[Dovecot] 1.1.6 -> 1.1.7 regression: dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files
by Mark Zealey 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi all, We updated to 1.1.7 a week or two back from 1.1.6 (both standard atrpms builds). Since doing so, twice now I've seen the imap services accept connections but they hang before the banner is printed (pop seems to be unaffected). I see this in the logs: Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now Dec 23 14:02:15 mail9 dovecot: Created login processes successfully, unstalling Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now Dec 23 14:02:16 mail9 dovecot: Created login processes successfully, unstalling The ulimit for the number of open files on these servers has remained unchanged at 8192 and there are no warnings about too few fd's on dovecot startup. There weren't amazing numbers of imap sessions open at the time (only something like 400-500; we've had 1.5k in the past), so I suspect this is a regression between 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 where you've got a leak of fd's ? If it happens again I'll try and get a snapshot of the fd's open by the master dovecot process.

[Dovecot] Bash script to mark all mail read in Maildir + Dovecot
by Andrew Oakley 12 Jan '09

12 Jan '09

Hi, I'm writing a script to mark all new mail read, including all mail in folders, for my system which uses Maildir and Dovecot. The reason for this script is that I use Google Mail at work, which forwards to my SMTP/IMAP system at home. When I've finished my last check of GMail at work, I want to be able to quickly mark all mail as read at home too. Basically this script moves everything from all /new/ directories to /cur/ directories and appends :2,S ("Seen" info status) to the filename. It seems to work, but I'm relatively new to IMAP and Maildir. Can anyone spot any potential problems? Thanks. ----cut here--- #!/bin/bash # markallread by Andrew Oakley www.aoakley.com Public Domain 2009-01-09 # A script to mark all MAILDIR mail as read, including folders # Assumes Dovecot folder naming dot prefix eg. ~/.maildir/.foldername # Loop through ~/.maildir/.foldername/new/ directories # This also does the ~/.maildir Inbox since it matches ~/.maildir/./new/ for i in `ls -1 ~/.maildir/.*/new/*` do # Replace /new/ with /cur/ # Also add status "seen" to message by appending :2,S to filename # as per http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html mv $i `echo $i | sed -r "s/^(.*)\/new\/(.*)$/\1\/cur\/\2:2,S/"` done ----end cut here--- -- Andrew Oakley andrew(a)aoakley.com

[Dovecot] new flags in Maildir files
by Giuliano Gavazzi 11 Jan '09

11 Jan '09

Sorry if this is a dumb question: I migrated my third system from courier to dovecot. My previous two were MacOSX the third is FreeBSD 6. I noticed (because of an rsync process taking longer than usual...) that on FreeBSD the message files have, most of them at least, gained extra suffix letters (in the range a-h I'd say) that I do not see (mostly if not at all) on my MacOS systems. I wonder if this is because of a different migration process, as in the first two cases I wrongly run courier-dovecot-migrate.pl without the --convert option as I was satisfied that the OK result for all Mailboxes was enough... (no pop here), while on FreeBSD I correctly applied the --convert option. The other difference is the version, 1.1.6 for MacOSX, 1.1.7 for FreeBSD. Cannot find a relevant entryin the ChangeLog. (now running rsync with the --fuzzy option, hopefully it will find the files cutting on transfer times!) Thanks Giuliano
