[Dovecot] Error: file_dotlock_create failed: Permission denied
by M. Fioretti 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Hi, I have a Fedora 14 x86_64 computer. I run dovecot 2.0.12 on it, only to keep a local imap copy of all my email, in maildir format. A couple days ago the hard disk broke, so I bought a new one, and reinstalled Fedora 14 x86_64 with all the updates. Then I copied all the maildirs from a backup to the new drive. But I can't access email now. No matter how I change sticky bits or ownership and permissions of all the involved files and directories, etc.. Login succeeds, but I get this error whenever I try to create new mailboxes or access existing ones: May 25 13:36:03 polaris dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<marco>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=8489, secured May 25 13:36:06 polaris dovecot: imap(marco): Error: file_dotlock_open(/home/z/email/marco/dovecot.index.log) failed: Permission denied (euid=500(marco) egid=500(marco) missing +w perm: /home/z/email/marco, euid is not dir owner) May 25 13:36:06 polaris dovecot: imap(marco): Error: file_dotlock_create(/home/z/email/marco/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Permission denied (euid=500(marco) egid=500(marco) missing +w perm: /home/z/email/marco, euid is not dir owner) May 25 13:36:06 polaris dovecot: imap(marco): Error: file_dotlock_create(/home/z/email/marco/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Permission denied (euid=500(marco) egid=500(marco) missing +w perm: /home/z/email/marco, euid is not dir owner) May 25 13:36:06 polaris dovecot: imap(marco): Error: opendir(/home/z/email/marco/new) failed: Permission denied (euid=500(marco) egid=500(marco) missing +r perm: /home/z/email/marco/new, euid is not dir owner) May 25 13:36:06 polaris dovecot: imap(marco): Error: file_dotlock_create(/home/z/email/marco/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Permission denied (euid=500(marco) egid=500(marco) missing +w perm: /home/z/email/marco, euid is not dir owner) Again, this doesn't change changing ownership. Output of dovecot -n is below The only possible difference I can find between this and the previous install of the SAME distro/dovecot package is that this time I use ext4 filesystem. Maybe, I don't remember, I was using ext3 in the original install. What must I change to gain access again to my mailboxes??? thanks!

[Dovecot] This is appear a fts bug
by Antonio Perez-Aranda 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

I have checked this on dovecot 2.0.9 and 2.0.13 with fts-solr without patching. If you execute the follow IMAP script, then the imap process die by and a "assert" . select "inbox." . search text something After search, the connection is aborted in the client side, and imap process died on the server. When the log in dovecot says: (fts_backend_solr_init): assertion failed: (*box_name != '\0') After debug the code, there isn't in context any possibility to get "box_name". With squat plugin it is running. -- Antonio Pérez-Aranda Alcaide aperezaranda(a)yaco.es Yaco Sistemas S.L. http://www.yaco.es/ C/ Rioja 5, 41001 Sevilla Teléfono +34 954 50 00 57 Fax +34 954 50 09 29

[Dovecot] shared folders "invisible" on new setup
by Torsten Harenberg 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

Dear list, I hope this is not an old issue, but I couldn't find a solution even after google'ing quite some time. I try to migrate our institute's mail server (~200 users) from an old cyrus-based Mac installation to a new machine (NetBSD, dovecot 2.0.13). Everything went quite smoothly so far, but we are used to have "shared folders" ("public" folders in dovecot) and I simply couldn't make them to appear. I have two separate folders for private (user) mails and for public ones (yes, I set everything to 777 for the moment to avoid file access problems) : mailserver# pwd /var/mail mailserver# ls -al total 8 drwxrwxrwt 4 dovecot wheel 512 May 31 12:26 . drwxr-xr-x 28 root wheel 512 Mar 29 15:05 .. drwxrwxrwx 3 root mail 512 May 31 15:18 public drwxrwxrwx 4 root wheel 512 May 31 12:26 user In the public folder there is a shared folder named "fb8": mailserver# pwd /var/mail/public mailserver# ls -al total 8 drwxrwxrwx 3 root mail 512 May 31 15:18 . drwxrwxrwt 4 dovecot wheel 512 May 31 12:26 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 10001 mail 0 May 31 15:14 dovecot-acl-list -rwxrwxrwx 1 root mail 0 May 31 11:06 dovecot-shared drwxrwxrwx 5 root mail 512 May 31 12:03 fb8 Now my own username (LDAP-based) is "harenber" and I try to subscribe myself to this list: mailserver# doveadm mailbox subscribe -u harenber public.fb8 mailserver# So a "subscriptions" file appears: mailserver# ls -al total 8 drwxrwxrwx 3 root mail 512 May 31 15:18 . drwxrwxrwt 4 dovecot wheel 512 May 31 12:26 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 10001 mail 0 May 31 15:14 dovecot-acl-list -rwxrwxrwx 1 root mail 0 May 31 11:06 dovecot-shared drwxrwxrwx 5 root mail 512 May 31 12:03 fb8 -rw-rw-rw- 1 10001 mail 4 May 31 15:18 subscriptions mailserver# cat subscriptions fb8 mailserver# (although I think this is wrong, as I have namespace { list = children location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=~/public prefix = public. separator = . subscriptions = no type = public } I would assume this file to appear somewhere in /var/mail/user/harenber/public... ) But I cannot access this "fb8" folder with any client. Alpine says that the public folder is empty: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Folder-Collection <test> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [No Folders in Collection] and also Apple Mail sees nothing beneath "public".

[Dovecot] doveadm "-S <socket_path>" option enabled in 2.0.8?
by David Warden 03 Jun '11

03 Jun '11

I apologize if this is a stupid question but I just compiled 2.0.8 and am trying to use doveadm to get the quota for a user using the -S <socket_path> option because I have different options for the various local IPs that dovecot listens on. For example, my default quota is filesystem (NFS rquota) and I can get that by doing: doveadm quota get -u warden which tells me: Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 1313476 1766400 74 But when I try to get my quota on a different local IP using the -S flag to doveadm: doveadm quota get -u warden -S 137.238.2.244:143 I am told: get: invalid option -- S The strange thing is doveadm's usage says that the -S option is valid for quite a few commands and in the man pages for those commands it looks like they should work for the way I'm calling doveadm. In the 2.0.8 source I also see code that looks like it should be parsing the -S flag. I can telnet to 127.0.0.1:143 and do ". getquotaroot inbox" which gives me the same information as "doveadm quota get -u warden" and I can telnet to 137.238.2.244:143 and ". getquotaroot inbox" also tells me my quota, but I'm hoping to use doveadm to periodically recalc my Maildir++ quota and update the squat FTS indexes and for that to happen doveadm needs to be able to be told what local IP address/port to connect to (I think).

Hi, I'm trying to get sieve working with dovecot. I seem to have everything enabled but my scripts done seem to work. both sieve-filter (2000) and sieve (4190) are running along with pop3 and imap. I have a simple script which checks the email address and moves it to a folder. I'm at a loss as to what to check next. Thanks in advance, Matt

[Dovecot] Client IP log variable for proxy/director setups?
by Kelsey Cummings 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

Timo - it would be very convenient if we could get a variable that held the real client ip for use in logging with director/proxy setups. It's clearly already passed around in client->user->remote_ip but at this point, I don't see anyway to get it into the logs and it would take me ages to figure out the Right place to add it since client->user doesn't seem to be available in client-common.c: get_var_expand_table(..). Perhaps I'm missing something obvious? -- Kelsey Cummings - kgc(a)corp.sonic.net sonic.net, inc. System Architect 2260 Apollo Way 707.522.1000 Santa Rosa, CA 95407
