Problem with LMTP
by Angel L. Mateo 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Hello, I'm having a problem with LMTP in a proxy server since I upgraded from 2.1.16 to 2.2.28. In my logs I have: Apr 26 12:54:17 musio12 dovecot: lmtp(2082): Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 2082 killed with signal 11 (core dumped). As far as I could check the message is delivered in a later connection. I have enabled core dumped files, but how could I debug it? -- Angel L.

Retrieving mail from read-only mdbox
by Mark Moseley 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

This is a 'has anyone run into this and solved it' post. And yes, I've been reading and re-reading TFM but without luck. The background is that I'm working on tooling before we start a mass maildir->mdbox conversion. One of those tools is recovering mail from backups (easy as pie with maildir). We've got all of our email on Netapp file servers. They have nice snapshotting but the snapshots are, of course, readonly. My question: is there a doveadm command that will allow for email to be retrieved from a readonly mdbox, either directly (like manipulating the mdbox files directly) or by doveadm talking to the dovecot processes? Ideally, there'd be something like doveadm dump, but that could dump selected message contents. I've tried using IMAP with mail_location pointed at the snapshot, but, though I can get a listing of emails in the mailbox, the fetch fails when dovecot can't write-lock dovecot.index.log. If anyone has gotten something similar to work, I'd love to hear about it. A working IMAP setup would be the ideal, since it's more easily automatible (but I'll take whatever I can get). Any and all hints are most welcome!

SSL problem - no banner
by Marcio Merlone 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

Hi, I am running dovecot 2.2.22-1ubuntu2.4 on a ubuntu 16.04 server. It has a valid Letsencrypt certificate but the problem also happens with a self-digned one. Only openssl s_client -connect localhost:993 works fine and fast, while all MUA's and telnet does not. Telnet timeouts waiting for banner after a minute or so: root@netuno:~# openssl s_client -connect localhost:993 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=2 O = Digital Signature Trust Co., CN = DST Root CA X3 verify return:1 depth=1 C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = Let's Encrypt Authority X3 verify return:1 (...)

Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. (about 1 minute later...)

Thanks, best regards. -- *Marcio Merlone*

sieve folders in maildir with imap: not a directory not fixed with maildir_stat_dirs = yes
by David Gessel 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

As my logs fill up with "imap(user(a)domain.com): Error: stat(/mail/doman.com/user//.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory" errors, I followed the advice at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home and https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-June/104403.html and set in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf # By default LIST command returns all entries in maildir beginning with a dot. # Enabling this option makes Dovecot return only entries which are directories. # This is done by stat()ing each entry, so it causes more disk I/O. # (For systems setting struct dirent->d_type, this check is free and it's # done always regardless of this setting) maildir_stat_dirs = yes My mailbox format reads "mail_location = maildir:~:CONTROL=/var/no-quota/%u:INDEX=MEMORY" The error is factually correct, but there is not .dovecot.sieve/tmp directory or file as .dovecot.sieve is a file (the head sieve script that calls the subordinate scripts out of the /sieve directory. There is a tmp directory at /sieve/tmp/ drwxr----- 2 vmail vmail 2B May 31 04:14 tmp Any hints as to why this isn't working? It does seem like the right answer.

shared folder and private index file problems
by Thomas Robers 31 May '17

31 May '17

Hello, I'm using Dovecot 2.2.30 with Pideonhole 0.4.18 and I'm having some problems, perhaps someone can give an hint on how to solve them. When I try to create a folder in the toplevel directory of a shared mailbox, i get a "permission denied" although I have the rights, example: 1.doveadm -f table acl rights -u bob(a)example.com shared/bill(a)example.com Rights lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert post expunge create delete admin 2.doveadm mailbox create -u bob(a)example.com "shared/bill(a)example.com" doveadm(bob(a)example.com): Error: Can't create mailbox shared/bill(a)example.com: Permission denied Creating an subfolder of a folder which already exists works fine: 1.doveadm -f table acl rights -u bob(a)example.com shared/bill(a)example.com /Drafts Rights lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert post expunge create delete admin 2.doveadm mailbox create -u bob(a)example.com "shared/bill(a)example.com /Drafts/Test" (no output) 3.doveadm -f table acl rights -u bob(a)example.com shared/bill(a)example.com /Drafts/Test Rights lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert post expunge create delete So this works, but creating a folder directly in the inbox of the shared mailbox doesn't work and I don't know why. Is this not supported? Or do I miss something important? Another problem I have is, that the private index files in shared folders are often to always marked as inconsistent in the dovecot log file, an example of such log messages look like: - imap(bob(a)example.com): Error: /export/home/imap/bob(a)example.com/shared /bill(a)example.com/.Templates/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent - imap(bob(a)example.com): Error: /export/home/imap/bob(a)example.com/shared /bill(a)example.com/.Templates/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent - imap(bob(a)example.com): Error: /export/home/imap/bob(a)example.com/shared /bill(a)example.com/.Trash/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent - imap(bob(a)example.com): Error: /export/home/imap/bob(a)example.com/shared /bill(a)example.com/.Trash/dovecot.index.pvt view is inconsistent And this is logged for almost every user who has access to a shared mailbox and I don't know how to stop getting the indexes inconsistent.
