dsync replication issues with shared mailboxes
by Sergey Schwartz 15 Jun '15

15 Jun '15

Gentlemen, I've setup 2 servers with dsync replication and hit a serious issue - some messages got duplicated thousands times in some shared mailboxes(~5). There is actually no reason to replicate anything from shared name space and I've tried to limit replication scope with just 'inbox' name space but it didn't help. dovecot version ||2.2.18 (2de3c7248922) errors in the logs May 26 13:23:38 mx10 dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(korobova@mydomain): Error: Mailbox turkey: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (24498 + 8270) May 26 13:25:16 mx10 dovecot: doveadm: Error: dsync-remote(korobova@mydomain): Error: Mailbox turkey: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (24498 + 8270) May 26 13:26:40 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(zhelonkina@mydomain): Error: Mailbox booking: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (0 + 32768) May 26 13:30:01 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(kashchits@mydomain): Error: Mailbox shared/davydjanc@mydomain/russia: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (17139 + 15629) May 26 13:30:01 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(davydjanc@mydomain): Error: Mailbox russia: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (17139 + 15629) May 26 13:30:01 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(kapitanova@mydomain): Error: Mailbox shared/davydjanc@mydomain/russia: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (17139 + 15629) May 26 13:30:03 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(grinenko@mydomain): Error: Mailbox shared/davydjanc@mydomain/russia: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (17139 + 15629) May 26 13:30:03 mx10 dovecot: dsync-local(maslova@mydomain): Error: Mailbox shared/davydjanc@mydomain/russia: Save commit failed: Message has been copied too many times (17139 + 15629) Data was not lost and I've been able to run deduplicate for most of mailboxes, but one mailbox got broken and I had to manually move message to another mailbox force-resync failed fot that mailbox doveadm(l.davydjanc@mydomain): Error: mdbox map /srv/vmail/current/mydomain/davydjanc/storage/dovecot.map.index corrupted: map_uid=361735 refcount too low Hope you guys have an idea how to work it around :) replication.conf dsync_remote_cmd = /usr/bin/ssh -i /home/vmail/.ssh/id_rsa -l %{login} %{host} doveadm dsync-server -u %u service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail mode = 0600 } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail mode = 0600 } process_min_avail = 1 } service replicator { unix_listener replicator-doveadm { user = vmail mode = 0600 } process_min_avail = 1 } service doveadm { user = vmail process_min_avail = 1 } service config { unix_listener config { user = vmail } process_min_avail = 1 } replication_max_conns = 50 replication_dsync_parameters = -d -n inbox -l 30 -U plugin { mail_replica = remote:vmail@mx20 } doveconf -n #

Sorry, another faq

I've installed a mailserver according to these instructions: http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_7&p=httpd&f=13 When I try to login to the server through Roundcube webmail I get Connection to storage server failed. So checking on this [12-Jun-2015 11:28:53 +0000]: <6jap13r2> IMAP Error: Login failed for martin from 83.251.209.249. Could not connect to ssl://myserver:993: Permission denied in /usr/share/roundcubemail/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 198 (POST /roundcubemail/?.... /etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php Has the following: $config['default_host'] = 'ssl://mail.myserver.tld'; [address obfuscated] $config['default_port'] = 993; as I understand should be correct. I've been looking at various posts on the net that says the problem is a permission on dovecot, but I fail to find anything to how to fix this as it looks right to me. Any suggestions? /Martin S -- Regards, Martin S

dovecot only partially indexing ... fts
by Infoomatic 14 Jun '15

14 Jun '15

hi, I have a setup using solr as fts, however it seems that when I move messages it does not automatically index the stuff. Also, when using sieve scripts to store messages in different folders I get: dovecot: indexer-worker(user): Indexed 0 messages in testfolder If I get a mail to normal INBOX I get dovecot: indexer-worker(user): Indexed 1 messages in INBOX doveadm index -u user '*' does the trick, however, I have set "fts_autoindex = yes" ... the relevant part of doveconf -n: mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib acl quota zlib fts fts_solr acl plugin { fts = solr fts_autoindex = yes fts_solr = url=http://localhost:8983/solr/ break-imap-search sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags } protocol lda { mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib sieve acl } protocol imap { mail_plugins = fts fts_solr zlib acl quota imap_acl imap_quota } is this normal behaviour or did I screw something up? TIA, infoomatic

LDA versus LMTP
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

My system has a great big four users. The Dovecot wiki says LMTP is more efficient, and someone on IRC told me I'd need it if I were ever to use sieve, which at this time I have no intention of doing. Should I stick with LDA, or just implement LMTP so I'm ready if ever I need it in the future? The bottom line is, it's unclear from the wiki how to explicitly specify use of one or the other, so that's my question.

Non-Existent Log File
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

My /var/log/maillog was getting pretty big because of lots of testing and re-configuring I've been doing lately with both Dovecot and Postfix. I figured just remove /var/log/maillog and it would be re-created. It wasn't--not by Dovecot, not by Postfix. I had to manually create a new one, put one character in it, save it, properly secure it with chmod, and then Dovecot (and postfix) messages got written to it. This can't possibly be the proper procedure to clear maillog messages ... can it?

Error when starting Dovecot
by Steve Matzura 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

After applying some changes to 10-master.conf as detailed at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP I receive the following when trying to start: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf line 49: Expecting '{' I'm trying to enable LMTP. The instructions say: Socket configuration The actual socket is configured in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf. The LMTP service can be bound to both INET or Unix sockets. In this example a Unix socket is placed inside the Postfix spool with appropriate permissions set: service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } I copied this block and placed it in my copy of 10-master.conf. Line 49 is the first line of this block, and there's clearly a left-brace there. The braces match, too. Thoughts?
