[Dovecot] cannot use password-file for userdb
by Albert E. Whale 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

OK, I am attempting to use the userdb connection to facilitate per user migration to Maildir format from mbox. Here's the first user: more /home/dovecot.passwd health:$1$MCtvt/Tz$FmKqU/cbWlBhKnhc5W.Ko.:1152:1152:/home/health:userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir The configuration was set up as: userdb passwd { } I changed this to: userdb passwd-file { args = /home/dovecot.conf } And unfortunately the dovecot daemon dies after successfully launching.

[Dovecot] Quick question regarding autocreate plugin
by Jakob Curdes 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hello, just a quick question: if I want to use the autocreate plugin with 1.1.5, I have to compile it "by hand", right? How do I do that? Can I adapt a Makefile from another plugin? JC

[Dovecot] 1.1.5 abort with mal-formed address in header
by Richard Platel 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi An email with a mal-formed address in a header like: To:(receiver@domain.com (Starting with a comment, with no closing ')' ) causes dovecot 1.1.5 to panic and abort.

[Dovecot] mbox to Maildir conversion
by Albert E. Whale 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I've been running a mbox solution using UW's IMAP server. I've run it for years. Now do to heavy message volumes, I've decided to to take the plunge to convert to the Maildir format. I am currently testing a single user, and have successfully converted the mail messages from mbox to Maildir format, and now I am setting up the procmail tool to place the messages into the correct folder. I have been following the http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/MailFormat formula, but now have a question. New Messages are now being placed into the ~user/Maildir/new folder. However, when I attempt to retrieve those messages, Dovecot does not find them. Why not? -- Albert E.

[Dovecot] Possible header parsing problem
by Eric Stadtherr 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi, I ran into a problem wherein my mail client (RoundCube) would not display a message from a Dovecot IMAP server (claiming that the message had no content). The raw source of the message looked fine, but the body structure returned by Dovecot only had the first text/plain part and not the alternative text/html part. The message looks like: ... headers removed ... X-Mailer: Lotus Notes Release 6.5.1 January 21, 2004 Message-ID: <...> From: user(a)host.domain Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:15:55 -0600 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=_alternative 006F3A73872574E8_=" This is a multipart message in MIME format. --=_alternative 006F3A73872574E8_= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii blah blah blah --=_alternative 006F3A73872574E8_= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii <br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">blah blah blah in HTML</font> --=_alternative 006F3A73872574E8_=-- I did a little bit of tracing through the parsing code (message-header-parser.c:message_parse_header_next()) and it appeared that the boundary in the Content-Type header was not parsed correctly, evidently because the header line was folded in the middle of the boundary string. RFC 822 appears to allow folding in a quoted string like this (§3.3 "quoted-string"), so I'm curious whether the parsing is working correctly. Thanks for your help! Here is my Dovecot information: version: 1.1.4 "dovecot -n" output: # 1.1.4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 256 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 384).

[Dovecot] Gah, pop3 falling over
by Brandon Lamb 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Why would I be seeing a million of these? dovecot: 2008-10-27 09:12:33 Warning: chdir(/mail/mail/domain/u/username/) blocked for 18 secs Two servers were working fine and then all of a sudden this morning bam 500 load and theres a million dovecots and tons of these lines in the logs. It is like everyone gets up at exactly 8:30 and hits the pop3 server at once. Anyway, dovecot 1.1.5, nfs mount, debian lenny/sid amd64, 2.6.26-1-amd64 i had the performance mode options for login configured, i just set back to the single process per login though, I think that hasnt fallen over that way but I really dont remember anymore. I included the dovecot -n using the suggest performance login settings?
