[Dovecot] Errors logging in
by Cassidy B. Larson 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Out of the blue my proxy installations started showing this: dovecot: login: tried to change state 2 -> 2 (if you can't login at all, see src/lib/fdpass.c) Nobody can login. Running 1.0.0 on the proxy and 1.0.2 on my storage boxes. Anybody have any insights? -c

[Dovecot] Quota plugin, Maildir, dict backend loop problem
by David Jonas 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hello, I've been working with the quota plugin(s) the past few days and have been having some real trouble. Only a few entries are appearing in the database, a couple more when I restarted dovecot. None of the current entries were being updated either. I think I've tracked it down to somewhere in the dict backend. I put in a few i_info() statements and recompiled. A few queries get through, then it seems to try the same query about three times and then no new more queries at all (the i_info is right after the allocation of the query string). I couldn't find any errors in the log. An strace of the dict pid shows the following loop. Dovecot -n to follow as well. A quick tcpdump showed a loop something like this: < SELECT current FROM quota WHERE ... > 513965019 < BEGIN < INSERT INTO quota (current, ... < COMMIT > ?? (error_r appears to be (null)) .. repeat .. In all my tests it appears that the quota value being set during the loop is 0, but that would be the most common case anyway. An insert query would look like this: INSERT INTO quota (current, path, username) VALUES (0, 'quota/storage', 'user(a)example.com') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE current = current + 0; Help on what to do/try next would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, David $ strace -p 19816 epoll_wait(5, {{EPOLLIN, {u32=153555248, u64=153555248}}, {EPOLLIN, {u32=153601240, u64=153601240}}, {EPOLLIN|EPOLLHUP, {u32=153567344, u64=153567344}}}, 29, 2147483647) = 3 gettimeofday({1185308526, 494477}, {420, 0}) = 0 read(20, "Lpriv/quota/storage\n", 4044) = 20 fcntl64(9, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 read(9, 0x9271eb8, 8192) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) fcntl64(9, F_SETFL, O_RDWR) = 0 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 write(9, "l\0\0\0\3SELECT current FROM quota W"..., 112) = 112 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 read(9, "\1\0\0\1", 4) = 4 read(9, "\1", 1) = 1 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 read(9, "6\0\0\2", 4) = 4 read(9, "\3def\10vpopmail\5quota\5quota\7curren"..., 54) = 54 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 read(9, "\1\0\0\3", 4) = 4 read(9, "\376", 1) = 1 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 read(9, "\n\0\0\4", 4) = 4 read(9, "\t582670292", 10) = 10 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 read(9, "\5\0\0\5", 4) = 4 read(9, "\376\0\0\2\0", 5) = 5 write(20, "O582670292\n", 11) = 11 read(10, "B1\nA1\tpriv/quota/storage\t-24324\n"..., 4043) = 35 fcntl64(9, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 read(9, 0x9271eb8, 8192) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) fcntl64(9, F_SETFL, O_RDWR) = 0 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 write(9, "\6\0\0\0\3BEGIN", 10) = 10 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 read(9, "\7\0\0\1", 4) = 4 read(9, "\0\0\0\3\0\0\0", 7) = 7 fcntl64(9, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 read(9, 0x9271eb8, 8192) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) fcntl64(9, F_SETFL, O_RDWR) = 0 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 write(9, "\247\0\0\0\3INSERT INTO quota (current,"..., 171) = 171 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 read(9, "\7\0\0\1", 4) = 4 read(9, "\0\2\0\3\0\0\0", 7) = 7 fcntl64(9, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0 read(9, 0x9271eb8, 8192) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) fcntl64(9, F_SETFL, O_RDWR) = 0 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 write(9, "\7\0\0\0\3COMMIT", 11) = 11 setsockopt(9, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, "\2003\341\1\0\0\0\0", 8) = 0 read(9, "\7\0\0\1", 4) = 4 read(9, "\0\0\0\2\0\0\0", 7) = 7 write(10, "O\n", 2) = 2 read(14, "", 3998) = 0 epoll_ctl(5, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 14, {0, {u32=153567344, u64=153567344}}) = 0 close(14) = 0 epoll_wait(5, {{EPOLLIN|EPOLLHUP, {u32=153601240, u64=153601240}}}, 29, 2147483647) = 1 gettimeofday({1185308526, 500644}, {420, 0}) = 0 read(10, "", 4008) = 0 epoll_ctl(5, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 10, {0, {u32=153601240, u64=153601240}}) = 0 close(10) = 0 epoll_wait(5, <unfinished ...> Process 19816 detached $ /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -n #

[Dovecot] qpopper -> dovecot migration : which pop3_uidl_format?
by bob passendon 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hello, I have read in lots of places about how I should use pop3_reuse_xuidl = yes to prevent pop3 users having to re-download mail (and duplicate their e-mail) after a migration. This fails with the message: pop3_uidl_format setting is missing from config file Which setting for pop3_uidl_format should I set to prevent the e-mail being downloaded again?

[Dovecot] v1.1 alpha1: can't pop/imap login with LDAP
by Katsu Yamamoto 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hi, We recentlty upgraded our dovecot from v1.0.2 to v1.1ahpha1 under CentOS 4.4. Also, we are using Postfix 2.4.3 and OpenLDAP 2.3.35. We've been using LDAP for our POP/IAMP user authentication, however after upgrading to v1.1alpha1, LDAP authentication does't seem to be working properly. We re-examined the source code, and made a few modification. We are suspecting that... (1) db-ldap.c is not handling value properly?? (2) userdb-ldap.c is not allocating memory for userdb_reply?? The modification we made are following: *** src/auth/db-ldap.c.orig Thu Jul 12 10:42:49 2007 --- src/auth/db-ldap.c Tue Jul 24 20:20:31 2007 *************** *** 55,60 **** --- 55,62 ---- BerElement *ber; string_t *var, *debug; + + int value_index; }; #define DEF_STR(name) DEF_STRUCT_STR(name, ldap_settings) *************** *** 764,769 **** --- 766,772 ---- ctx->vals = ldap_get_values(ctx->conn->ld, ctx->entry, ctx->attr); ctx->value = ctx->vals[0]; + ctx->value_index = 0; } static void *************** *** 797,804 **** db_ldap_result_change_attr(ctx); } else { /* continuing existing attribute */ ! if (ctx->value != NULL) ! ctx->value++; } if (ctx->value != NULL) { --- 800,806 ---- db_ldap_result_change_attr(ctx); } else { /* continuing existing attribute */ ! ctx->value = ctx->vals[++ctx->value_index]; } if (ctx->value != NULL) { *** src/auth/userdb-ldap.c.orig Thu Jul 12 10:42:49 2007 --- src/auth/userdb-ldap.c Tue Jul 24 20:33:45 2007 *************** *** 37,42 **** --- 37,44 ---- struct db_ldap_result_iterate_context *ldap_iter; const char *name, *const *values; + auth_request_init_userdb_reply(auth_request); + ldap_iter = db_ldap_result_iterate_init(conn, entry, auth_request, conn->user_attr_map); while (db_ldap_result_iterate_next_all(ldap_iter, &name, &values)) { With the modification, LDAP authentication is working without any problem, at least for our system. However we are not sure whether the above modification affect other functions of dovecot. Is there an official patch to fix the problem already released? And somehow we missed it? If there is no patch, then will there be any to be released sometime in near future?

Hi, Just wonder if it's possible to run two dovecot servers on two different machines, but serve out of the same directories. I would like to test second dovecot server before switching from first one to second one. Any suggestions? Simon
