[Dovecot] Mbox corruption - Inbox beginning with 'FFrom' or 'FrFrom'
by Henri Khou 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hi, Since the 23rd of March, we encounter mailbox corruption for some users (15 out of 5000) using POP mainly via Thunderbird. Symptoms are : -users can login but fail to receive new mails and fail to read their inbox -Dovecot.log : ar 29 11:00:06 Error: POP3(user_login): Couldn't init INBOX: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox -The mailbox start with either 'FFrom or 'FrFrom' We can temporarily fix the issue by manually editing the mailbox so that it begins with a proper 'From'. For some users, the problem reoccurred after we apply this workaround. I have to mention that this server has been running fine since almost a year with the current hardware and software configuration. Does anybody has an idea regarding this issue?

[Dovecot] [dovecot] Dovecot Migration so far
by Mark Moseley 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

We've been doing our own beta testing of Dovecot 2.0-beta4 IMAP (both direct IMAP and webmail-fronted), and we've had nothing but glowing compliments from our beta users/victims. I've also been running a lone box with the latest mercurial build and that's been running just fine too. All mail data is on NFS, but I've put indexes on the local disk, which has worked just dandy so far. Everything's been great and all I've seen amiss are a few random problems -- all of which are are barely impacting us and I mention only for the sake of feedback. All boxes are Debian Lenny i386, running 2.6.33.1. One oddity is that I see lots of messages like this (I've obfuscated paths/IPs/usernames, so assume paths are all actually correct) for a variety of different mailboxes prior to their indexes directory getting initially created: Apr 02 13:25:24 imap(mail@box): Error: creat(/var/tmp/Indexes/14/75/mail(a)box/dovecot.mailbox.log) failed: No such file or directory Judging by the mtimes of the containing directories, the directory was created a couple of seconds after the error gets logged, so I'm guessing mailbox_log_alloc is just getting called too early. It obviously just happens that first time. Doesn't seem to actually be hurting anything, that I can tell. One other kind of weird thing I saw was that originally I had my indexes on a dedicated partition with ext4 (Debian Lenny, i386, 2.6.33.1), I was seeing scattered messages like this: Mar 29 18:02:38 imap(mail@box): Error: FETCH [] for mailbox INBOX UID 3244 got too little data: 1116 vs 1087383 Mar 29 18:02:38 imap(mail@box): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/tmp/Indexes/12/dc/mail(a)box/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken virtual size for mail UID 3244 The message corresponding with UID 3244 was around 1116 bytes (+32 bytes, IIRC), so no clue where the 1087383. In all the cases of that error I saw, the lefthand number of bytes was very closer to correct and the righthand was way way off, and the S= flag in the filename was correct too. I'm guessing that the random righthand number was just due to corrupted cache. When I reformatted that partition as ext3, the error went almost completely away (just a few total over the past few days, as opposed to a few per hour when it was on ext4). I don't even have an educated guess as to why that'd happen. A wild guess would be that ext4's delayed allocation was causing problems. Even under ext4, it was still pretty rare and only, say, 1 out of 100 imap logins. And ext3 performance on the indexes partition so far has been just fine, so I don't plan on switching back to ext4 -- though if anyone has any experience with putting indexes on reiserfs and/or xfs versus ext3, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I've also seen a couple of these in the past few days (on beta4, not repo version -- haven't been running repo version long enough to say if it'd do the same): Mar 31 21:52:54 imap(mail@box): Error: fdatasync(/mail/username/mail@box/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Input/output error Mar 31 21:52:54 imap(mail@box): Error: Raw backtrace: /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77c0b71] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77c0bef] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0xb77c0ea8] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_begin_to+0x9a9) [0xb7837ca9] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_begin+0x56) [0xb7837d56] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_sync_index_begin+0x51) [0xb78734d1] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb78716eb] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_force+0x4d) [0xb78719bd] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_uidlist_lookup+0x96) [0xb7877646] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb787215a] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_sync_index+0x7f0) [0xb78729d0] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb78715b6] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_init+0x162) [0xb7871b92] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x39) [0xb7815759] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](imap_sync_init+0x54) [0x805efa4] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](cmd_sync_delayed+0x223) [0x805f2a3] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](client_output+0xb6) [0x8056de6] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77d5d4a] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xf5) [0xb77cd1d5] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x30) [0xb77cc220] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2a) [0xb77b9e1a] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](main+0x1c5) [0x805f8e5] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xb764d455] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID] [0x804e621] Mar 31 21:52:54 master: Error: service(imap): child 4500 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) In 4 days of beta testing with a fair number of users, I've seen maybe 4 of these backtraces total, so not exactly a big issue. These are all super minor things. Everything's been fantastic so far.

[Dovecot] dsync convert Maildir -> mdbox, separators in subscriptions file
by Frode Nordahl 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hello, I'm playing around with Dovecot 2.0 beta 4. If I use dsync to convert a users mail stored in Maildir format to mdbox format, the subscriptions file in the new mdbox is created using the wrong mailbox separator ('.') leading to folders within folders not being readable by clients using the subscription feature. Excerpt from IMAP: . LIST "" "*" * LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam/Test" . LSUB "" "*" * LSUB () "/" "Spam" * LSUB () "/" "Spam.Test" I am not currently using Maildir, and have no plans to either, so I am very pleased with mdbox using '/' as seperator. I am considering to use Maildir as a transition format so that I can use allready available scripts to do the job (uw2dovecot.pl first, then dsync). So the question is, is this a bug in dsync? At the time of conversion mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir I used the following command to do the conversion: # dsync -u username convert mdbox:~/mdbox -- Frode Nordahl

[Dovecot] A new director service in v2.0 for NFS installations
by Timo Sirainen 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

As http://wiki.dovecot.org/NFS describes, the main problem with NFS has always been caching problems. One NFS client changes two files, but another NFS client sees only one of the changes, which Dovecot then assumes is caused by corruption. The recommended solution has always been to redirect the same user to only a single server at the same time. User doesn't have to be permanently assigned there, but as long as a server has some of user's files cached, it should be the only server accessing the user's mailbox. Recently I was thinking about a way to make this possible with an SQL database: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-January/046112.html The company here in Italy didn't really like such idea, so I thought about making it more transparent and simpler to manage. The result is a new "director" service, which does basically the same thing, except without SQL database. The idea is that your load balancer can redirect connections to one or more Dovecot proxies, which internally then figure out where the user should go. So the proxies act kind of like a secondary load balancer layer. When a connection from a newly seen user arrives, it gets assigned to a mail server according to a function: host = vhosts[ md5(username) mod vhosts_count ] This way all of the proxies assign the same user to the same host without having to talk to each others. The vhosts[] is basically an array of hosts, except each host is initially listed there 100 times (vhost count=100). This vhost count can then be increased or decreased as necessary to change the host's load, probably automatically in future. The problem is then of course that if (v)hosts are added or removed, the above function will return a different host than was previously used for the same user. That's why there is also an in-memory database that keeps track of username -> (hostname, timestamp) mappings. Every new connection from user refreshes the timestamp. Also existing connections refresh the timestamp every n minutes. Once all connections are gone, the timestamp expires and the user is removed from database. The final problem then is how multiple proxies synchronize their state. The proxies connect to each others forming a connection ring. For example with 4 proxies the connections would go like A -> B -> C -> A. Each time a user is added/refreshed, a notification is sent to both directions in the ring (e.g. B sends to A and C), which in turn forward it until it reaches a server that has already seen it. This way if a proxy dies (or just hangs for a few seconds), the other proxies still get the changes without waiting for it to timeout. Host changes are replicated in the same way. It's possible that two connections from a user arrive to different proxies while (v)hosts are being added/removed. It's also possible that only one of the proxies has seen the host change. So the proxies could redirect users to different servers during that time. This can be prevented by doing a ring-wide sync, during which all proxies delay assigning hostnames to new users. This delay shouldn't be too bad because a) they should happen rarely, b) it should be over quickly, c) users already in database can still be redirected during the sync. The main complexity here comes from how to handle proxy server failures in different situations. Those are less interesting to describe and I haven't yet implemented all of it, so let's just assume that in future it all works perfectly. :) I was also thinking about writing a test program to simulate the director failures to make sure it all works. Finally, there are the doveadm commands that can be used to: 1) List the director status: # doveadm director status mail server ip vhosts users 11.22.3.44 100 1312 12.33.4.55 50 1424 1) Add a new mail server (defaults are in dovecot.conf): # doveadm director add 1.2.3.4 2) Change a mail server's vhost count to alter its connection count (also works during adding): # doveadm director add 1.2.3.4 50 3) Remove a mail server completely (because it's down): # doveadm director remove 1.2.3.4 If you want to slowly get users away from a specific server, you can assign its vhost count to 0 and wait for its user count to drop to zero. If the server is still working while "doveadm director remove" is called, new connections from the users in that server are going to other servers while the old ones are still being handled.

[Dovecot] question about rpc quota reporting 1.2.11
by Tom Lieuallen 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Timo, thank you for the reply to my question about shared folders yesterday. I'm now trying to get quota reporting working consistently. This is with dovecot 1.2.11 in solaris 10 sparc. We have local quotas for the mail spool (/a1) and quotas for home directories. All are UFS and have rpc (rquota) working fine. With just this: protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } My mail client (thunderbird 3.0.4) reported the home directory quota. So then I added this: plugin { quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/a1 quota2 = fs:Home:mount=%h } First, I had to make /a1/quotas world readable, otherwise I'd get this error: open(/a1/quotas) failed: Permission denied I'm getting the same type of error with the quota2 line now: open(/nfs/rack/u4/quotas) failed: Permission denied Since the home directory quota worked without the plugin configuration, my guess is that the plugin config is not using rpc. I can't find any way to force it to use rpc. Again, if I make that 'quotas' file world readable (which I believe isn't good practice), dovecot stops complaining. Also, what should I expect to see on the client? Will dovecot report only one quota (the one that's closer to the limit), or will it report both? I've only seen the first quota in thunderbird, but that could easily be a client issue. thank you Tom Lieuallen Oregon State University

Hi, I'm trying to configure shared mailboxes using ACLs. On dovecot 1.2.10 it works fine, but the same configuration on dovecot 2.0. beta4 doesn't work. When I try to access to the shared mailbox I get the following message: Query: SELECT "users/user2/INBOX" Reason Given: Mailbox doesn't exist: users/user2/INBOX In the next the dovecot -n output and the dovecot-ldap.conf content: # 2.0.beta4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.9-89.ELsmp i686 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 8) ext3 auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_debug = yes mail_gid = mailusers mail_location = maildir:/mnt/mbox1/mailusers/%n/Maildir mail_uid = mailusers namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = no list = children location = maildir:/mnt/mbox1/mailusers/%%n/Maildir: INDEX=/mnt/mbox1/mailusers/%n/Maildir/users/%%n prefix = users/%%n/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/var/tmp/shared-mailboxes.db } service auth { user = root } ssl = no userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_acl # /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf hosts = ldap-vip base = o=mailusers user_attrs = mailQuota=quota_rule=*:backend=%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(|(uid=%u)(uid=%n))) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(|(uid=%u)(uid=%n))) Regards, Pier Luigi
