[Dovecot] Make entire mailbox read-only (ACLs?)
by David Jonas 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Hello, Is there a way of locking a mailbox, effectively making it read-only to IMAP clients? I've read through http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL. I created dovecot-acl with the content "owner lr" in .INBOX which seems to keep me from copying messages into the folder, but not out. I have the plugin configured correctly, it seems, since MYRIGHTS command shows the correct value: 30 MYRIGHTS "INBOX" * MYRIGHTS "INBOX" lr Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is there an easier way to lock a mailbox? post-login scripting perhaps? Thanks!

[Dovecot] Major bug with hardlinks and lmtp
by Brad Schuetz 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

In working on trying to fix the crash issue from my last email I had enabled LMTP delivery to try it out instead of using the LDA. I have discovered that when a single piece of email is to be delivered to multiple users the message is being hard linked instead of copied into each mail box. This is a major problem that makes LMTP unusable in an environment where each mailbox has it's own UID since the hard linked file will only be readable by one of the users. I assume this is related to "maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=yes", however this setting doesn't say anything about hardlinking across different email accounts. -- Brad Schuetz

[Dovecot] Wish list item: %g/%{gid} variable
by Pascal Volk 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

I think it would be very useful to have a user's GID in a variable. So i could use for example: mail_attachment_dir = /srv/mail/.SiS/%{gid} I use one GID per domain and the aliases fqhns of the domain. When for example example.com would be an alias for exmaple.net (gid: 12345), the attachments would be stored inside /srv/mail/.SiS/12345/, no matter if a message was sent to john.doe(a)example.com or to john.doe(a)example.net. "quota = dict:domain:%{gid}:proxy::quota" would then also work. Regards, Pascal -- The trapper recommends today: c01dcofe.1134217(a)localdomain.org

[Dovecot] "Unstable" vs "Development" vs "Nightly"
by Terry Carmen 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

I'm currently running v2.1rc1, but have been seeing errors like: Dec 8 11:31:55 it kernel: auth[18914]: segfault at 48 ip 00fe2f74 sp bfcaccd0 error 4 in libauthdb_imap.so[fdd000+f000] The unstable and nightly builds are newer, but are they likely to be more or less stable than the version I'm currently running? I'd like to install a newer version, but am trying to get a feel for how usable they're likely to be. Thanks, Terry

[Dovecot] Error: Corrupted index cache file /xxx/yyy/zzz/indexes/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size
by florent＠coppint.com 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi all, I got a problem with a Dovecot IMAP/POP installation. Since a recent failure of our distributed file system (no loss of data btw), Dovecot seems to have a problem with index cache files. For a lot of accounts, I have this error in logs: Error: Corrupted index cache file /xxx/yyy/zzz/indexes/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size If I delete all files from /indexes/ directory, it still occurs... Do you see what can cause this problem ? Or what information can I provide to help ? Our distributed FS is MooseFS. Dovecot is configured like if it was NFS (no mmap, etc...). Thank you for your help :) Flo

Thanks Timo, this patch applied clean against 2.0.16 just running it on live for the past few minutes & seems to have fixed the issues. Mark ________________________________________ From: Mark Zealey Sent: 08 December 2011 07:14 To: Timo Sirainen Cc: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Subject: RE: [Dovecot] sql dict: commit failed: MySQL server has gone away Correct we're not enforcing the quotas at present just want an easy way to monitor everyone's mailbox usage. Thanks for the patch; will it work ok against 2.0.16? if so I'll recompile and give it a test today. Mark

Hi Timo, right after delivering the message to the INBOX the lmtp crashes. I wonder about the "Sent" in the attached backtrace. Regards, Pascal -- The trapper recommends today: c01dcofe.1134117(a)localdomain.org

[Dovecot] problems when using dsync between servers
by Yann Dupont 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

Hello, I'm trying to migrate from maildir++ to mdbox. The maildir++ is a leftover of our previous setup (was using courier) We have 3 virtuals servers for our +70000 accounts. Now, I'd like to use mdbox, so I'm trying using dsync for that. I setup a new virtual server, configured for mdbox. 1st, I tried a basic setup: I established a file with all my accounts (taken from LDAP) and then I use this script : FILENAME=$1 while read LINE do dsync -u $LINE backup $LINE@my_new_server done < $FILENAME But it's quite slow and dsync hangs. So I tried another approach using multi threaded python. Much faster (using all the cores), but dsync still hangs on some accounts. After a certain time dsync exit with an error like that : Panic: file dsync-worker-local.c: line 1688 (local_worker_save_msg_continue): assertion failed: (ret == -1) dsync-remote(E072184L): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x3fd8a) [0x7f34fc577d8a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x32) [0x7f34fc577e72] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7f34fc55119f] -> dsync() [0x40ff0b] -> dsync() [0x410142] -> dsync(dsync_worker_msg_save+0x99) [0x40f639] -> dsync() [0x40e24a] -> dsync() [0x40d8ef] -> dsync() [0x40dbfc] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_call_io+0x48) [0x7f34fc5830d8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0x9f) [0x7f34fc58403f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x28) [0x7f34fc583068] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x13) [0x7f34fc5713a3] -> dsync(main+0x9e1) [0x4078b1] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f34fbde9c4d] -> dsync() [0x406cf9] This is on a RUNNNING server. My aim was to make some pass on the running server, then stop it and make a last pass to finish the process. Is dsync supposed to run only on a stopped server ? Is my approach totally wrong ? -- Yann Dupont - Service IRTS, DSI Université de Nantes Tel : 02.53.48.49.20 - Mail/Jabber : Yann.Dupont(a)univ-nantes.fr
