You'd need to find out what exactly is locking those mailboxes for that long. It could simply be the user's client. Or I guess it could be LDA itself, or anything really.. Difficult to say. Difficult also to tell easy way to debug this.. Or when this happens does it happen to many people at the same time? Is the system load really high at that time then?

[Dovecot] Login via IMAP with MySQL as user database not working
by Chris Martin 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hello all, I am migrating from Postfix/Cyrus/MySQL mail server to a recently installed dovecot 1.2.8 on a QNAP TS259 NAS via XDove. I am unable to login via IMAP (the only method I've tried and the only method I want). I am using an almost identical database as the current existing Postfix/Cyrus/MySQL setup (with the except of paths). I have been attempting to get this working (off and on) for the past 5 months. During that time I have researched and researched, but have not found a solution. The Maildir has been copied from the existing server to the Dovecot server and have run the script 'courier-dovecot-migrate.pl', which was found at http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl In a nutshell: If I have the password_query string in the SQL config file (shown below) set to return only 1 field, i.e. the password, then the Dovecot authtest app succeeds. But if more than 1 field is returned (i.e.: user and password) the test fails. And if testing with telnet I get the message of "* BYE Internal login failure. Refer to server log for more information.". The logs indicate that the password check returned OK but the userdb read appears to fail. If I change the userdb_query to return only 1 field (such as only the uid), then the logs show the correct value is returned, and yet the telnet login fails. So it seems that anytime there are multiple fields returned from the SQL query, the result is failure at that step (password check or userdb read). Therefore userdb prefetch never works. The NAS doesn't utilize a syslog so it's of no help in debugging. Below are the config files and samples from log files (scrubbed): dovecot.conf- (NOTE: the 'home = /tmp' in the plugin section is an attempt at rawlog from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog ... which doesn't seem to work) # 1.2.8: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.33.2 i686 log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-info.log log_timestamp:

[Dovecot] Solaris 10 Compilation Issue with 2.0.12 (actually post 12690) [WORKAROUND PROVIDED]
by Peter Bray 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Greetings, Post 12689:7f5735ab7c35 / 12690:02829f7f79c7 dovecot uses the reentrant version of get(password/group)* related functions. There are two variants of these functions on Solaris. To get the variant used by dovecot code based you need to define _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS (see attached manual page). Initially I defined this just for the compilation of lib/src/ipwd.c, and got the code to compile / check / run successfully in my environment. After this worked I decided to try compiling the whole code base with CPPFLAGS="-D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS" ./configure .... This also seems to work fine. My environment uses IMAPS (X86) and Proxying IMAPS (SPARC). All code compiles / checks / runs (only 64-bit versions run tested) with the above CPPFLAGS modification on Oracle Solaris 10 Update 9 (both 32/64 bit on both X86 / SPARC with GCC 4.1.2) systems. Regards, Peter Bray Sydney, Australia PS: I have not investigated an appropriate way to modified configure.in to make this addition automatic.
