[Dovecot] Error with 1.1 Beta
by Jeff Grossman 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I am running the latest version of the 1.1 beta and just got the following error: Jan 17 06:20:13 apple dovecot: IMAP(jeff): rename(/home/jeff/Maildir/.Sent Items/dovecot.index.cache.lock, /home/jeff/Maildir/.Sent Items/dovecot.index.cache) failed: No such file or directory Jan 17 06:20:13 apple dovecot: IMAP(jeff): file_dotlock_replace() failed with index cache file /home/jeff/Maildir/.Sent Items/dovecot.index.cache: No such file or directory Is it something I should be concerned about? I had just sent an e-mail about 30 seconds before that one which did not give the error. I will see if I get the error again when I send this one. Jeff

[Dovecot] Master vs Client socket?
by Marc Perkel 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I'm somewhat confused. I need to use a master socket for the dovecot lda but I also need to have a client socket for authenticating through Exim for outgoing smtp. The auth section doesn't allow for two sockets. How do I do this? Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] "Connection queue full" errors
by Jackie Hunt 20 Jan '08

Hi all, Our Dovecot server became non-responsive today and had to be restarted. We had approximately 1200 imap sessions running, and when I looked at the log, I found the following errors: Jan 16 10:02:01 lamar dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection queue full: rip=75.166.40.150, lip=129.82.103.75, TLS handshake Jan 16 10:02:01 lamar dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection queue full: rip=75.166.40.150, lip=129.82.103.75, TLS handshake Jan 16 10:02:12 lamar dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection queue full: rip=75.166.40.150, lip=129.82.103.75, TLS handshake Jan 16 10:02:26 lamar dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection queue full: rip=67.162.151.85, lip=129.82.103.75, TLS handshake Jan 16 10:02:26 lamar dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection queue full: rip=129.82.100.135, lip=129.82.103.75 Jan 16 10:02:26 lamar dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection queue full: rip=71.196.217.203, lip=129.82.103.75 Jan 16 10:02:26 lamar dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection queue full: rip=129.82.100.135, lip=129.82.103.75 Jan 16 10:02:26 lamar dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection queue full: rip=129.82.100.135, lip=129.82.103.75 Jan 16 10:02:26 lamar dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection queue full: rip=129.82.218.58, lip=129.82.103.75 ... We are running v1.0.10 on AIX. Here's the relevant configuration from dovecot.conf: # Set max. process size in megabytes. #login_process_size = 32 # Should each login be processed in it's own process (yes), or should one # login process be allowed to process multiple connections (no)? login_process_per_connection = no # Number of login processes to keep for listening new connections. #login_processes_count = 3 # Maximum number of login processes to create. #login_max_processes_count = 128 # Maximum number of connections allowed per each login process. #login_max_connections = 256 We are running in the high-performance mode, where each login process can handle a number of connections. As I understand it that means we have login_max_connections * login_max_processes_count available possible logins at a given time. That's 32K with our configuration. That seems like a very high limit. Is that what these errors are indicating?

[Dovecot] Deliver core dump in b13 (hg 20080102)
by mikkel＠euro123.dk 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi there I'm redirecting e-mails from mikkel(a)euro123.dk to another account (mikkel2(a)euro123.dk) using sieves "redirect" with sieve 1.1.3. The e-mail is redirected just fine. But deliver still creates a core dump and returns an "e-mail undeliverable" to the sending account (even though delivery is successful). My .dovecot.sieve contains just this: redirect "mikkel2(a)euro123.dk"; keep; As stated before the e-mail is both forwarded and delivered locally just fine. But the sending account receives this error: "<mikkel(a)euro123.dk>: Command died with signal 6: "/opt/freeware/dovecot-20080102/libexec/dovecot/deliver"" Also deliver.log shows some errors (shown below). The nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir error makes me wonder - seems like it tries to delete the homedir of the accounts maildir storage. Also it seems to me like a minor error since the delivery functions as it should, apart from the delivery error it returns and the core dump.

[Dovecot] Plans for 1.1beta14 release?
by Adam McDougall 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I've been glancing at the hg changelogs, watching a number of basic fixes going in, including squat and uidlist fixes. Are there any plans for a beta14 release soon to increase exposure to these fixes, or is it in flux too much? My time lately to spend on dovecot has been sparse but I can definitely afford the time right now to roll betas into service because it is convenient. I have some tiny issues to track down that I noticed in the logs but if a new snapshot fixes them already, it saves both of us time.

[Dovecot] readsocket & saslauthd
by Daniel Aquino 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Does Dovecot support something similar to Exim's ${readsocket} allowing me to custom tailor a query to a unix socket for any type of data? Or does it support authenticating to saslauthd?

[Dovecot] Problem with Quotas
by Ranjith Kumar 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

Hi, I am using dovecot 1.0.10 and using passwd-file as userdb. I have enabled quota plugin in /etc/dovecot.conf. Extra fields are added into userdb. user1:X:500:500:User1:/home/user1:/bin/bash:userdb_quota=maildir:storage=1024 Location of the inbox is /var/spool/mail/user1 I dont think this is working. The user already have 5MB in INBOX and if I send a new mail, it is being delivered. Do I need to change any settings? Thanks, Ranjith

[Dovecot] More than one inbox possible ?
by Schoch Christian 20 Jan '08

20 Jan '08

I wanted to know if more than one INBOX - entry is possible. My situation: Three users with user@domain One Mail-Adress office@domain, where all three users can get the mails. But i dont want to copy the mails from office to the user (like mailinglist), because if one reads a new mail it should be marked as read at all users. Same with answered and deleted. Thanks in advance, Christian
