Hi, I have problems with pop3 migration, the server disconect the dovesync when fetching mails after 5 minutes with this error in server log: xx.xx.xx.xx [28F4] 11:54:05 <<< RETR 6548 xx.xx.xx.xx [28F4] 11:54:05 >>> +OK 47522 octets xx.xx.xx.xx [28F4] 11:54:05 <<< RETR 6549 xx.xx.xx.xx [28F4] 11:54:05 >>> +OK 355289 octets xx.xx.xx.xx [28F4] 11:54:05 <<< RETR 6550 xx.xx.xx.xx [28F4] 11:54:05 >>> +OK 9638 octets xx.xx.xx.xx [28F4] 11:54:05 <<< RETR 6551 xx.xx.xx.xx [28F4] 11:54:05 >>> +OK 2188 octets xx.xx.xx.xx [28F4] 11:59:05 >>> -ERR Command unrecognized: "" xx.xx.xx.xx [28F4] 11:59:05 *** <info(a)istan.cz> 6551 477693894 00:12:55 ERROR xx.xx.xx.xx [28F4] 11:59:05 Disconnected and this in dovecot log: dsync(info(a)istan.cz): Debug: imapc(mail.stable.cz:143): Authenticated successfully dsync(info(a)istan.cz): Debug: pop3c(mail.stable.cz): Looking up IP address dsync(info(a)istan.cz): Debug: pop3c(mail.stable.cz): Connecting to 88.86.120.212:110 dsync(info(a)istan.cz): Debug: pop3c(mail.stable.cz): Authenticating as info(a)istan.cz dsync(info(a)istan.cz): Error: pop3c(mail.stable.cz): Server disconnected unexpectedly dsync(info(a)istan.cz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 1: Disconnected dsync(info(a)istan.cz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 2: Disconnected dsync(info(a)istan.cz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 3: Disconnected dsync(info(a)istan.cz): Error: pop3_migration: Failed to get header for msg 4: Disconnected is there any timeout in dovecot for 300s? can anybody point me where may be some problem? This error occurs everytime i test it and the mail box has cca 2GB, on small mailboxes is no problem, i try this patch: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/rev/ab6a4455b27d on dovecot version 2.1.7 but the problem isn't solved. Thanks for help Tomas Herceg

[Dovecot] dsync mirror and sieve ?
by Xavier Beaudouin 07 Sep '12

Hi there, I am currently doing some extensive test with dsync, but it appear that : dsync -u <user> maildir:/path/to/new/Maildir doesn't seems to sync sieves rules. Is there a good way to sync sieves as well ? :p Regards, Xavier

I'm not sure that the auth cache holds that information, but I think you can at least invalidate a particular auth cache entry by 1) Changing the user password (and save the previous hash) 2) Authenticate using the new credentials (and invalidate the auth cache entry). For example, you can just do a manual connection on your dovecot server x login someuser newpassword This will replace the cache entry with a new one. 3) When you are ready to put the account back online, change the password back to the original. A password mismatch forces a resync to your authentication system which will restore the auth cache. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] different userdb and/or passdb for lmtp and pop3/imap?
by Gábor Lénárt 06 Sep '12

06 Sep '12

Dear All, I have a bit complex question about ldap based user/passdb with some twists caused by the LDAP schema I have to use. It's complex for me at least, since it's my first time to try to setup any dovecot install which is more than a "trivial" thing eg for some unix system users. What I'd like to do: Users are stored in LDAP with the following schema: storageMailUid: contains user's uid in x@z format, and it CAN be different than mail address. This value is used to login (pop3/imap) and to get the maildir path (well, home) in the form of /mailstorage/z/x/ regardless of the value of the "mail" attribute. If @z part is missing (I mean the user supplied login, not the LDAP!), some default value (example.com) should be treated (I guess that's easy: auth_default_realm may be enough, isn't it). It is NOT possible to login via pop3/imap with mail, only with storageMailUid! This storageMailUid can specify a string which is not even an existing mail address, of course. mail: contains user's mail address, or even mail addresses (there can be more mail addresses - more mail ldap attributes - for a single ldap entry). This attribute cannot be used for pop3/imap login, neither it counts to resolve the maildir path, it only counts when a mail is received: the location of the user's maildir must be got from storageMailUid. storageMailQuota: it contains the quota value (in bytes) for the given user, which should be enforced on receiving mail, or by using IMAP (not counting the Trash folder which is a fixed size for all users and it must be handled outside of this). All user maildirs have the same fixed unix UID/GID, which is not stored in LDAP, but must be configured statically. "Home directory" of the user is also not stored in LDAP, it must be got from storageMailUid LDAP parameter. Mails are received via LMTP only. I'd like to use prefetchdb to minimalize the amount of LDAP lookups (however I can live without that). I am unsure if auth_bind is OK, or it should not be used, currently I'd like to play with auth_bind, since it worked before on other servers well. I'm totally lost with the user_attrs/pass_attrs to create this kind of configuration. In case of static userdb, it was easy to set up: passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-passdb.conf driver = ldap } userdb { args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/mailstorage/%Ld/%Ln driver = static } With this, pop3/imap worked (quota was not of the scope yet, though), however lmtp is not ("passdb doesn't support lookups, can't verify user's existence" which is odd for me, as userdb does not support it in my opinion). Please, give some suggestion how to set up userdb and passdb to support this configuration which works with the described scenario. I should also set iterate_filter and iterate_attrs I guess, so some doveadm commands can work then (-A stuffs, I guess). I am also not sure if auth service should be used or not (I mean extra configuration related): since I want LMTP not LDA, I guessed I don't need it, but I am not sure. I am also confused, because on receiving a mail (via LMTP) different kind of LDAP lookup is needed: then mail must be searched, but it's storageMailUid based lookup in case of pop3 or imap login ... Is it possible to give different userdb/passdb for lmtp and pop3/imap? In theory it's even possible to have x(a)example.com as mail and y(a)example.com as storageMailUid for one user, and the opposite for the another, so lookups cannot be done together for mail and storageMailUid. The LDAP schema/rest of the system works this way, not an option to change. Any help is greatly welcomed. Thanks a lot in advance, Gábor

[Dovecot] managesieve problem
by Léon Keijser 06 Sep '12

06 Sep '12

Hi, I'm using roundcube in combination with postfix (2.6.6), dovecot (2.0.9) and pigeonhole (2.0.9). All works well except sieve. I've already posted on the roundcube forum (http://www.roundcubeforum.net/index.php/topic,9690.0.html ) but was told I should ask here since it's more likely a dovecot issue rather than roundcube. The problem is that if I want to manage sieve filters from roundcube, I get this error in maillog: Sep 5 12:55:39 emperor dovecot: managesieve-login: Login: user=<leon(a)EXAMPLE.COM>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=1575, secured Sep 5 12:55:39 emperor dovecot: managesieve(leon(a)EXAMPLE.COM): Error: sieve-storage: stat((null)) failed: Bad address Sep 5 12:55:39 emperor dovecot: managesieve(leon(a)EXAMPLE.COM): Error: sieve-storage: stat((null)) failed: Bad address Sep 5 12:55:39 emperor dovecot: managesieve(leon(a)EXAMPLE.COM): Fatal: Failed to open Sieve storage The managesieve daemon is listening though: emperor ~ # netstat -tlpne | grep dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 1275042 362/dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 1275037 362/dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4190 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 1275035 362/dovecot tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:993 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 0 1275044 362/dovecot tcp 0 0 :::143 :::* LISTEN 0 1275043 362/dovecot tcp 0 0 :::2000 :::* LISTEN 0 1275038 362/dovecot tcp 0 0 :::4190 :::* LISTEN 0 1275036 362/dovecot tcp 0 0 :::993 :::* LISTEN 0 1275045 362/dovecot emperor ~ # telnet localhost 4190 Trying 127.0.0.1...
