[Dovecot] v2.1 memory usage
by Timo Sirainen 21 Nov '12

21 Nov '12

v2.1's imap/pop3 processes are linked with OpenSSL by default, because of imapc/pop3c storages. I wonder if you notice any actual (system-global) memory usage reduction when compiling without those and you have thousands of imap processes? ./configure --with-storages=mdbox sdbox maildir mbox cydir I guess I could try it myself also but maybe someone else wanting to reduce memory usage is quicker? :) Related to that, you can look at where imap processes' memory goes with: http://dovecot.org/tools/linux-maps-parse-imap.pl I don't know how much memory those (writable!) file-backed memory areas actually use per-process. Maybe nothing, maybe something..

Dear all, Thank you all for such a wonderful support. Hats off to all :) Few times I came across imap login issues where new users will not be allowed to login. /var/log/mail.err shows the error below Aug 12 07:57:46 mail dovecot: dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Aug 12 07:57:46 mail dovecot: dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now Aug 12 07:58:46 mail dovecot: dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Aug 12 07:59:46 mail dovecot: dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files Aug 12 08:00:46 mail dovecot: dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files I have a dovecot (V 1.2.9) +postfix (V 2.7.0) setup on ubuntu 10.04 # ulimit -Hn 1024 # ulimit -Sn 1024 # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 1238548 # cat /proc/`pidof dovecot`/limits | grep 'Max open' Max open files 1024 1024 files Please advice how to get rid off this.

[Dovecot] (new) director issues in 2.1.10
by Kelsey Cummings 22 Oct '12

22 Oct '12

Timo - I upgraded to 2.1.10 on our director servers two nights ago and apart from errors associated with the directors processes restarting everything looked great for ~24 hours until I failed our the real servers last night to update the nfs mount options for the spools. I followed the suggested procedure for each backend server, just run on one of the directors, which seemed to work as expected. doveadm director add x.x.x.x 0 doveadm director flush x.x.x.x The following errors on the directors that started after this went unnoticed until this AM. director: User bb host lookup failed: Timeout - queued for 30 secs (Ring synced for 36 secs) director: User cc host lookup failed: Timeout - queued for 48 secs (Ring synced for 66 secs, user refreshed 12 secs ago) director: User dd host lookup failed: Timeout - queued for 124 secs (Ring synced for 119 secs, weak user, user refreshed 155 secs ago) director: User ee host lookup failed: Timeout - queued for 79 secs (Ring synced for 119 secs, weak user, user refreshed 113 secs ago) ... User ff host lookup failed: Timeout - queued for 30 secs (Ring synced for 7427 secs, weak user, user refreshed 620 secs ago) This continued, combined with occasional login timeouts (as reported by some internal imap clients.) The login delays/timeouts got bad enough that our load balancers dropped both the servers while I was investigating. They seem to be okay after being restarted. -K

[Dovecot] Dovecot sieve and duplicate email subjects
by Benjamin Thomas 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Hi, I'm running a small email server with the help of iRedMail. I can manage sieve scripts from the Rouncube web interface or manually inside the user's personal sieve folder. I have an email account setup to receive automated tasks. Some of these "alerts" occur too often and they have the same subject line, but different senders. This is the rule I am currently using: ##CODE START## # rule:[AutoAlerts] if anyof ( header :matches "Subject" "AutoAlert Type1*", header :matches "Subject" "AutoAlert Type2*", header :matches "Subject" "AutoAlert Type3*" ) { fileinto "INBOX.AutoAlerts"; stop; } ##CODE END## I was wondering if it's possible to gracefully handle duplicate subjects lines (within a given time frame) with sieve filters ? Ideally, I would like the first email of the day with subject ""AutoAlert Type1..." to get moved to the subfolder given above. Subsequent "duplicate" emails would then go into a "duplicate" subfolder. Is this possible with sieve filters ? I could not find anything striking me as obvious while reading the page http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve. Thanks very much for your input.

[Dovecot] Dovecot deliver Segmentation fault when arrive the first message
by Alessio Cecchi 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi, I have found this strange problem. I'm working with Debian 6, dovecot 2.1.9 and vpopmail-auth. LDA is configured and works fine but the problem is when the first message arrive "dovecot-lda" return a "Segmentation fault", the message is written to the user's Mailbox but the message remains, also, in the queue of qmail (deferral: Segmentation_fault/) and at the second attempt is delivered fine. If disable ACL (acl and imap_acl from mail_plugins) in dovecot.conf "Segmentation fault" go away. Moreover, without ACL at the first delivery folders like Sent, Drafts, Trash, Spam appear immediately. An example, new user: root@demo-vpop ~ # tree /home/vpopmail/domains/qboxdns.it/cecchi2/Maildir/ -a /home/vpopmail/domains/qboxdns.it/cecchi2/Maildir/ ├── cur ├── maildirsize ├── new └── tmp root@demo-vpop ~ # cat testmail.txt | /usr/local/dovecot-2.1/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d cecchi2(a)qboxdns.it Segmentation fault root@demo-vpop ~ # echo $? 139 root@demo-vpop ~ # tree

[Dovecot] doveadm purge -A via doveadm-proxy director fails after some users
by Daniel Parthey 06 Oct '12

06 Oct '12

Hi, we have configured userdb and passdb in the director and try to iterate all users and pass the "purge" command via doveadm proxy to port 19000 on the correct director backend host. A single purge -u username(a)example.org via doveadm-proxy works correctly, but iterating over some users with -A fails.

failed: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. The wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Services#doveadm states that the privileges are (temporarily) dropped to the mail user's privileges after userdb lookup. It seems that from the second purge on which is passed over a single doveadm connection, the user lookup fails. It also seems a bit strange, that the "-A" parameter can be observed in the doveadm tcp stream to the backend, since iteration should be already done in the director and the backend should purge only a single user: D username(a)example.org purge -A Is there a bug or have I misconfigured/overlooked something? Configs of mailbox backend and director are attached. Kind regards Daniel

[Dovecot] bug formatting results when using doveadm-server
by Angel L. Mateo 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hello, I have a infrastructure using director in front of backend servers. So I normally run doveadm commands in director servers, not the backends. The problem I have is when I try to concatenate commands like this: doveadm search -S /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb -u ${user} SAVEDSINCE 5w | while read guid uid; do doveadm fetch -S /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb -u ${user} size.physical mailbox-guid $guid uid $uid; done The problem is that although when I run doveadm search command in the backend server I correctly get the list of mails, each line with the mailbox-guid and the uid of the message, when I run the same command in the director server, format of the list is corrupted and there are lines that contains just the mailbox-guid and the next the uid (of the previous) and the mailbox-guid of next, and so on. Like: e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 66 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 71 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 74 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 75 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 77 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 78 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 so I can't postprocess correctly the output. I think it could be a bug in the communication between the doveadm client and server. PS: As the time of writing this email, I have realized that I could use fetch command directly. But, anyway, I want to report the problem/bug so it can be fixed.

[Dovecot] Syntax for doveadm auth cache
by Angel L. Mateo 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hello, What is the correct syntax of doveadm auth cache command? According to command line help: usage: doveadm [-Dv] [-f <formatter>] <command> [<args>] altmove [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] [-r] <search query> auth [-a <auth socket path>] [-x <auth info>] <user> [<password>] auth cache but when I try to run doveadm auth cache, then I'm asked for a password, so I think the command is trying to authenticate cache user. Moreover... according to previous mails (thread http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-June/066691.html) there is a patch to remove a specific user entry from cache. This patch I think is included in dovecot 2.1.9 (which I'm running) and the syntax is (I think): doveadm auth cache flush <user> 4 cache entries flushed So I'm running this command. Whenever I run it, I get the message that 3 (sometimes, is 4) entries are removed, but user information isn't really reloaded and I doubt it is really removed from cache (I have the user in a passwd-file and information used by imap processes is still the old one, no the new one, changed before the flush) -- Angel L.

[Dovecot] Spurious " Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions"
by tlhackque 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Dovecot 2.1.10 Client = Thunderbird. Local disks. mbox format. Attempted to rename a folder, failed with: CANNOT Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions I don't understand why this should happen. o I was renaming within a directory - the attempt was to rename "Domain Names &- SSL Certificates" to "Domain Names". No directory was specified o The reason the directory has g=s is for dovecot - so that the 'mail' group (12) will stick to any files created. I was getting more understandable permission failures before I added it. Since 's' doesn't apply to files, I don't see why this should be viewed as a conflict. o If I chmod g-s the directory, the command succeeds. But then I'm back to file ownership problems... drwxrws--- 4 4503 12 4096 Sep 22 06:17 F/N/ -rw-rw---- 1 4503 12 81530 Sep 22 06:17 F/N/Domain Names &- SSL Certificates Sequence from TB's trace (crlfs for clarity): 1140[11ebcf00]: 121e8c00:imap.example.com:A:SendData: 66 rename "F/N/Domain Names &- SSL Certificates" "F/N/Domain Names" 1140[11ebcf00]: ReadNextLine [stream=12135a28 nb=80 needmore=0] 1140[11ebcf00]: 121e8c00:imap.example.com:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 66 NO [CANNOT] Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions 9592[c7d6840]: ReadNextLine [stream=ab687e8 nb=22 needmore=0] Config: # 2.1.10: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.22.14-72.fc6 i686 Fedora Core release 6 (Zod) first_valid_gid = 4000 first_valid_uid = 4000 hostname = smtp.example.com login_greeting = Dovecot ready.
