Latest Dovecot v2.2.devel (9bc8d9b) crashes on login and lmtp

20 Dec '16

I was unable to produce an IMAP core but have been successful with LMTP. Basically it crashes right upon login or delivery: Dec 20 08:55:23 nihlus dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.2.devel (9bc8d9b) starting up for imap, lmtp Dec 20 08:56:15 nihlus dovecot: imap(tlx(a)leuxner.net): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 5710 killed with signal 11 (core not dumped) Dec 20 08:57:23 nihlus dovecot: lmtp(5967): Connect from local Dec 20 08:57:23 nihlus dovecot: lmtp(5967): Fatal: master: service(lmtp): child 5967 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) $ gdb /usr/lib/dovecot/lmtp core_lmtp.5967.nihlus.leuxner.net GNU gdb (Debian 7.7.1+dfsg-5) 7.7.1 Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Checking sieve
by Gerben Wierda 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

A simple question: I’ve installed roundcube on macOS Sierra with Server 5.2 and created a set of sieve rules in my dovecot setup. How can I check their functioning (other than send test mails) e.g. is there some logging I can set / look at? G

Upgrade from version 1 to 2
by Peter Fraser 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

Hi All I am upgrading from dovecot-1.2.17 to dovecot2-2.2.27_4. I configured version 2 from scratch. I have email in the maildir format. Would it be ok in theory if I simply copy over the email files from the version 1 server to the version 2 server or are there any hidden dangers here? Any problems with indexing? Thanks for any advice

Renumbering UID on messages
by Ricardo Branco 19 Dec '16

19 Dec '16

I am having a problem with Horde due to large variations in email UID for a few users. At one time they were receiving thousands of emails a day, they have deleted all these messages but because they still have early emails in the mailbox the UID range from start to now is massive. We use Horde webmail and it creates an internal array based on range of messages but due to large UID range it eats though the ram. If I use dsync on a mailbox will the UIDs be renumbered? -- The information contained in or attached to this email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

RFC 3501 violation in FETCH BODY responses
by Guilhem Moulin 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Hi there, Quoting RFC 3501 sec. 7.4.2 “FETCH Response” (data item BODYSTRUCTURE): “A body type of type MESSAGE and subtype RFC822 contains, immediately after the basic fields, the envelope structure, body structure, and size in text lines of the encapsulated message.” According the ABNF (RFC 3501 sec. 9) the envelope structure is that of the ENVELOPE FETCH data item, and the env-{from,sender,reply-to,to,cc, bcc} fields are non-space-separated address lists: body-type-msg = media-message SP body-fields SP envelope SP body SP body-fld-lines envelope = "(" env-from SP … SP env-to SP … ")" env-from = "(" 1*address ")" / nil env-to = "(" 1*address ")" / nil While this is indeed the case for ‘FETCH … (ENVELOPE)’, for ‘FETCH … (BODY)’ dovecot 2.2.25 adds a space between addresses of an address list of the envelope structure of an encapsulated MESSAGE/RFC822 message. See the attached patch to ‘src/lib-imap/test-imap-bodystructure.c’, which currently (2.2.25) fails as follows test-imap-bodystructure.c:122: Assert failed: strcmp(str_c(str), testmsg_body) == 0 test-imap-bodystructure.c:129: Assert failed: strcmp(str_c(str), testmsg_bodystructure) == 0 imap bodystructure parser ............................................ : FAILED because the ‘env-to’ field of the envelope structure of the encapsulated MESSAGE/RFC822 message is printed as ((NIL NIL "sub-to1" "domain.org") (NIL NIL "sub-to2" "domain.org")) while it should be ((NIL NIL "sub-to1" "domain.org")(NIL NIL "sub-to2" "domain.org")) After a quick look at the source, this seems to be due to src/lib-imap/imap-bodystructure.c:imap_write_list, which always separates list items with spaces. In the case of an envelope, only the top-level list should be space-separated. Indeed, not adding a space between items of type IMAP_ARG_LIST in the recursive call makes the test pass again. Cheers, -- Guilhem.

Error while migrating mailbox with 'doveadm sync'
by Zhang Huangbin 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Dear all, I successfully migrated hundreds of mailboxes with Dovecot 2.2.24 on OpenBSD 6.0 (amd64. Old server is OpenBSD 5.1, i386, Dovecot-2.0.17), but got error while migrating 3 mailboxes: # doveadm -o mail_fsync=never sync -1 -R -s '' -u user(a)domain.com imapc: dsync(user(a)domain.com): Panic: file mailbox-alias-plugin.c: line 77 (mailbox_symlink_exists): assertion failed: (ret > 0) Abort trap Same error while running ‘doveadm … backup …'. What does this error actually mean? How can i fix it? - Here’s full log running doveadm with ‘-D’ option: http://pastebin.com/Um5fbuNM - ‘dovecot -n’ on old server: http://pastebin.com/4E6xzFKU - ‘dovecot -n’ on new server: http://pastebin.com/4uHwQnMN I checked release notes of Dovecot 2.2.25/26/27, there’re 3 fixes related to 'doveadm sync’, but not sure whether it helps fix this issue. 2.2.26: + doveadm sync/backup: Added -I <max size> parameter to skip too large mails. + doveadm sync/backup: Fixed -t parameter and added -e for "end date”. 2.2.27: - doveadm sync -1: Fixed handling mailbox GUID conflicts.

Antispam plugin: insufficent error messages
by Volker Wysk 18 Dec '16

18 Dec '16

Hi! "Dovecot always logs a detailed error message if something goes wrong. If it doesn't, it's considered a bug and will be fixed." (http:// wiki2.dovecot.org/Logging) I'm trying to set up a spam filter with dovecot-antispam and dspam as backend. When I move a spam message from INBOX to Spam, I get this in syslog: Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(Spam): 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(INBOX): 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(Spam): 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mail copy: from trash: 0, to trash: 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(INBOX): 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(Spam): 1 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(INBOX): 0 Nov 28 21:15:58 desktop imap: antispam: mail copy: src spam: 0, dst spam: 1, src unsure: 0 There are no log entries about how dspam is called, or what goes on. Indeed, dspam doesn't get called at all. I know, because I've examined the antispam- plugin source code. There would be a log message if dspam was called. It's hard to study the source code, because there are hardly any comments. I have been able to trace the problem to function signature_extract_to_list() in signature.c. There, -1 is returned: int signature_extract_to_list(const struct signature_config *cfg, struct mailbox_transaction_context *t, struct mail *mail, struct siglist **list, enum classification wanted) { const char *const *signatures; struct siglist *item; signatures = get_mail_headers(mail, cfg->signature_hdr); if (!signatures || !signatures[0]) { if (!cfg->signature_nosig_ignore) { mail_storage_set_error(t->box->storage, ME(NOTPOSSIBLE) "antispam signature not found"); return -1; /* <-- HERE */ } else { return 0; } } while (signatures[1]) signatures++; item = i_new(struct siglist, 1); item->next = *list; item->wanted = wanted; item->sig = i_strdup(signatures[0]); *list = item; return 0; } So, what's happening is "antispam signature not found". My question: What does this mean? What's going on? My "dovecot -n" output is attached. Bye Volker

Managing Sieve on macOS 10.12 Sierra with Server 5.2?
by Gerben Wierda 17 Dec '16

17 Dec '16

I don’t know if this is considered OT, but dovecot has support for sieve. I had a rule set running under Mac OS X 10.8.5 Server 2.2.5 which I did maintain by hand on the server because a while before Mac OS X Server had dropped support for Squirrelmail. Now I wonder if there is a decent way to get sieve running again on macOS 10.12 Sierra with Server 5.2 G

Existing shared mailbox ... does not exist
by Ruga 17 Dec '16

17 Dec '16

Hello, Dovecot 2.2.26.0 Thunderbird 45.4.0 ESR Scenario: We have a shared mailbox with e-mails in its subdirectories. There are no e-mails in the shared mailbox itself. Example: /Shared <----------------------------------- empty /Shared/call_for_papers <-------------- empty /Shared/call_for_papers/AAMAS <-- populated ...more of the same... Problem: When selecting /Shared, Thunderbird chirps this message: "The current operation on 'Shared' did not succeed.
