Install locks up my server
by Marc Perkel 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Ever since 2.26 I haven't been able to upgrade. In fact the install locks up my server. I get into and infinite recursive loop where the config-guess program calls itself until the server locks up from overload. I'm running Centos 6 under OpenVZ. What am I missing? I think there's a serious bug. 31233 pts/3 S 0:00 /bin/sh ./config.guess 31235 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31238 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31240 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31241 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31267 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31272 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31279 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31280 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31281 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31283 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31284 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31285 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31292 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31303 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31304 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31305 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31306 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31307 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31321 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31340 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31341 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31426 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess 31530 pts/3 S 0:00 \_ /bin/sh ./config.guess

10-ssl ssl = no but dovecot still reads certs
by lists＠lazygranch.com 22 Jul '17

22 Jul '17

I'm bringing up a new email server starting without TLS initially. In 10-ssl.conf I set ssl = no, but the default ssl_cert and ssl_key lines are not commented out. I got the obvious error message: ------------------------------ doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf line 12: ssl_cert: Can't open file /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem: No such file or directory /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dovecot: WARNING: failed to start dovecot -------------------------- No big deal, but I don't remember this being an issue the last time I set up a server. You would think if ssl=no, the ssl_cert and ssl_key files would not be opened.

NOTIFY broken in 2.2.31?
by Bojan Smojver 04 Jul '17

04 Jul '17

Hi, I just updated my Dovecot to the new build in Fedora 26, which is based on 2.2.31. After I did that, Evolution (3.24.3) is no longer receiving notifications about new mail in folders other than inbox (the same version of Evo that worked fine against Dovecot 2.2.30.2). The only folder that still gets notifications is inbox. I see there have been changes to NOTIFY code in this release. What would you like me to send to you in order to debug this problem? When I run Evo with some debugging options turned on, I can see: ---------------- [imapx:B] I/O: 'B00010 NOTIFY SET (selected (MessageNew (UID RFC822.SIZE RFC822.HEADER FLAGS) MessageExpunge FlagChange)) (personal (MessageNew MessageExpunge MailboxName SubscriptionChange))' [imapx:B] I/O: 'B00010 OK NOTIFY completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs).' ---------------- So, notify setting appears to be happening and it looks pretty much the same as it does against version 2.2.30.2. -- Bojan

Auth Policy Server
by Daniel Miller 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

I've made a preliminary auth policy server in Perl - and it sort of works (mostly) - but I've got some questions on "proper" implementation. It appears the communication is HTTP based - is the intent to talk to a "proper" webserver, or is a simple dedicated daemon appropriate (which is what I made)? Should connections be maintained, or terminated after each response (which is my current setup)? If my implementation is correct, I may have found a bug, as I have some log entries like: Jun 30 08:24:20 bubba dovecot: imap-login: Warning: Auth connection closed with 1 pending requests (max 31 secs, pid=10253, EOF) Jun 30 08:24:20 bubba dovecot: auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child 31631 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Guidance would be appreciated. -- Daniel

imapc making too any connections
by van der Kamp, John 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

Hi, I was testing around with 2.2.31, and saw that it made new extra connections to the backend imap server whenever you make a new mailbox. So client does: A001 login username password A002 create subfolder Previously, dovecot would just send the create command to the backend, but now does (including connection IDs): [conn1] 9 CREATE "subfolder" [conn1] 10 EXAMINE "INBOX" [conn2] 12 LOGIN "username" "password" [conn2] 11 SELECT "subfolder" The new EXAMINE Command is a bit weird, but the secondary connection is a complete waste. I also haven't seen any other action on it yet, but it's kept around. If you make more mailboxes, every time you gain an extra connection from dovecot to the backend imap server. And they all stick around. I don't know which changes this behavior triggered, there were loads of imapc fixes the last couple of releases. John
