[Dovecot] Dovecot failed logins delay all logins
by Dominic Malolepszy 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Hi all, I have observed with my Dovecot setup that unique failed logins cause legitimate correct logins to be slowed. I am running two servers, each with two Dovecot instances, a Proxy with Director, and a backend Dovecot. I suspect that the backend instance is throttling connections from the same IP, and because I am running a Proxy, the backend will only see either of the two server IPs. I confirmed this by directly connecting to the backend, to bypass the proxy and rule it. I initiated dozens of unique failed logins from one IP and separately attempted to login from the same IP, and experienced an extended delay during login. At the same time a login from a different IP suceeded imediately. I see nothing in the logs suggesting some sort of process limits were exceeded, however I do see the following proc title for the backend auth process: "dovecot/auth [7 wait, 0 passdb, 0 userdb]" I have increased the mail_max_userip_connections to a very large value however I believe that setting is a per username/ip limit. Is there any sort of setting in Dovecot that I can configure that stops this authentication throttling per IP? Below is the configuration of the backend Dovecot instance. # 2.1.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago) auth_cache_negative_ttl = 3 secs auth_cache_size = 100 M auth_cache_ttl = 10 mins auth_default_realm = example.com auth_failure_delay = 5 secs auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose_passwords = sha1 auth_worker_max_count = 25 base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 12 first_valid_uid = 8 last_valid_gid = 12 last_valid_uid = 8 login_greeting = Hello there. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c mail_fsync = always mail_gid = mail mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_plugins = " stats" mail_uid = mail mmap_disable = yes namespace { inbox = yes location = maildir:%h/Maildir prefix = INBOX. separator = . } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } protocols = pop3 imap service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mail mode = 0660 user = mail } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 0.0.0.0 port = 9143 } process_min_avail = 5 service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 256 M } service imap { process_limit = 1000 vsz_limit = 256 M } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { address = 0.0.0.0 port = 9110 } process_min_avail = 5 service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 256 M } service pop3 { process_limit = 1000 vsz_limit = 256 M } service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { mode = 0600 user = mail } inet_listener { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 24242 } } ssl = no stats_memory_limit = 64 M userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { imap_logout_format = bytes_read=%i bytes_send=%o mail_max_userip_connections = 1000 mail_plugins = " stats " } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 1000 } Dominic

[Dovecot] Problem with quota update in dovecot 1.2
by tower 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi A have a problem with quota2 table, working under postfixadmin. When I login into imap server with thunderbird client everything works fine, quota is update when i receive a message, but when I move message to trash or any other folder value for messages field in table quota2 increases +1 instead decreases or have still this same value. Only if I close my imap client value descending -2. I wish to table quota2 will be updated immediately after any operation on inbox. Is there any mistake in my configuration?

[Dovecot] Plugin hooks in login process
by Simone Lazzaris 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi all; I've setup dovecot (2.1.10) in a cluster configuration. We have two servers acting as frontend which authenticates users and proxy them to other two servers which handles the "real" work. Users credentials are on a mysql cluster; we have one master, in which read/write queries are processed, and many replicated slave, which process read-only queries. The frontend servers reads users credentials from the read-only mysql slaves. I'd like to execute a query once the client is verified to update the last login data. Right now, that query is executed on the backend servers, via a post-login service: protocols = imap service imap-postlogin { executable = script-login /usr/local/etc/dovecot/postlogin.sh unix_listener imap-postlogin { group = vchkpw mode = 0600 user = vpopmail } } service imap { executable = imap imap-postlogin process_limit = 2048 } Problem is, if I execute the update on the backend, I miss the information regarding the original IP, as I only see the IP of the proxies. I haven't been able to launch the postlogin service on the frontend, so I figured that I can try to write a plugin - that also seems to me the cleanest solution. Looking in the dovecot source code, I noticed that there aren't any hooks in the execution path used by the proxies; I am missing something ? I am the only one missing the presence of this hooks in the auth/proxy process ? I've also thought of a workaround for this problem. One way is to monitor the dovecot logs on the frontend and execute the update asyncronously. One other way is to query directly the main mysql server of the cluster and adjust the query making it call a stored procedure that updates the information in case of successful login. But I'd really prefer to create a plugin, that I'd be willing to share. I attach the configuration of the servers (front and back) generated via postfix -n. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Simone Lazzaris | Responsabile aree datacenter e VoIP Interactive Network srl | via Roggia Vignola 9, 24047 Treviglio (BG) Tel. 0363 1970352 | Fax 0363.1971971 | www.interactive.eu

[Dovecot] Dovecot deliver Segmentation fault when arrive the first message
by Alessio Cecchi 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi, I have found this strange problem. I'm working with Debian 6, dovecot 2.1.9 and vpopmail-auth. LDA is configured and works fine but the problem is when the first message arrive "dovecot-lda" return a "Segmentation fault", the message is written to the user's Mailbox but the message remains, also, in the queue of qmail (deferral: Segmentation_fault/) and at the second attempt is delivered fine. If disable ACL (acl and imap_acl from mail_plugins) in dovecot.conf "Segmentation fault" go away. Moreover, without ACL at the first delivery folders like Sent, Drafts, Trash, Spam appear immediately. An example, new user: root@demo-vpop ~ # tree /home/vpopmail/domains/qboxdns.it/cecchi2/Maildir/ -a /home/vpopmail/domains/qboxdns.it/cecchi2/Maildir/ ├── cur ├── maildirsize ├── new └── tmp

[Dovecot] Search for substring in header?
by Dave Abrahams 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi, According to the IMAP spec (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2060#page-37) if I do a search for "TO isocpp.org" it should find all the messages whose To: field contains the string "isocpp.org", but dovecot is returning me an empty list. However, a search for "TO tm(a)isocpp.org" produces a long list of messages. What am I doing wrong?

[Dovecot] [BUG] Lucene plugin breaks header substring search

Re: [Dovecot] per-user quotas

Hello, Thanks for your replies so far. Still having issues with per-user quotas. To my Mysql virtual_users table I've added a column quota_kb and for a test user I've added in a value of 250000 going for a 250 megabyte quota.

[Dovecot] fts = squat solr
by Dave Abrahams 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

I don't know if this was supposed to have changed with dovecot2, but http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS shows fts = squat solr so, since I have the lucene plugin—"fts = lucene" works by itself—I tried fts = squat lucene but: $ doveadm index '*' doveadm(dave): Error: fts: Failed to initialize backend 'squat lucene': Unknown backend So, is that syntax obsolete, is the wiki wrong, or am I doing something wrong? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost

[Dovecot] POP UIDL
by simon.buongiorno＠gmail.com 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi I run a small mail server with Dovecot and postfix. Several of the accounts are popped by an external email provide I use, mostly out habit and also for a bit of redundancy. I have no details on that external server except that it uses exim. Lately, it's been repopping mail from accounts (mail is left on the server so I can use IMAP) at fairly frequent, but undetermined, intervals. Before I take it to them, I want to be sure it's not an error on my side. How can I be sure Dovecot does not have a problem with the UIDL list causing this external server to repop the mail? For the record, I'm not inclined to think it's a Dovecot issue, but since that's the bit I can fix, I'd like to be sure. Cheers Simon

Hello, I have a weird problem in dovecot, Dovecot Hangs while multiple users download mail for same account using pop3 Three persons use 1 same email , and three of them use outlook express to check That specific mail .. Also some times one of the three users check the mail for this Account using imap (squirrel mail) And here comes the problem. suddenly all the three users are unable to check the mail And when the outlook express connect to the pop3 server, they are unable to disconnect And the outlook express keep asking "the server is not responding for 60 mins would you like to wait ? i checked /var/log/maillog, i can see the following errors dovecot: pop3(sales): Disconnected: Storage error during logout. to=<sales(a)domain.com>, orig_to=<sales(a)domain.,com>, relay=local, delay=357, delays=338/0.01/0/19, dsn=4.2.0, status=deferred (cannot update mailbox /var/mail/sales for user sales. unable to lock for exclusive access: Resource temporarily unavailable) When i used lsof | grep sales pop3 4278 sales 10u REG 8,3 22897673 12615705 /var/spool/mail/sales i went to /home/sales/mail/.imap/INBOX , but i didnot find any lock files -rw------- 1 sales sales 944 Oct 7 13:35 dovecot.index -rw------- 1 sales sales 49152 Oct 7 16:57 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 sales sales 14044 Oct 7 16:57 dovecot.index.log 1- So what is exactly the problem? is the problem that three users are checking the same exact mail ? 2- is the problem that 2 users checking mail using pop3 and the third one checking it using imap insame time ? 3- is dovecot locking the inbox file while one of the users getting the mail ? 4- What is the cause of the problem ?

[Dovecot] Advanced dovecot tricks - spam review/release
by Marc Perkel 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi, I'm looking for some advice to do a really advanced trick with Dovecot. I'm not sure if this can be done. I need to describe first. I have a spam filtering company that does front end spam filtering. (Junk Email Filter) I want to add a system where I store a copy of spam on a server and make it available to the customer to review and maybe resent on false positives. I know I could do something simple where I deliver all spam to a domain account and make it available to an administrator. Then if it's a false positive they would drag the message to a "resend" folder. I'll have something the checks the folder one a minute to pick up and resend. However What would be very cool is delivering the spam to individual accounts. So a user who logs in individually can see their own spam. But the admin for the domain would be able to see all users. Maybe the users would appear as folders? Then a master account (me) would be able to log in and see all the domains as folders and the users as folders inside the domains? One thing I can do is deliver the spam to 3 different places so it's visible on all levels. I'm just wondering if anyone out there has any ideas about that. And I'll need an authentication system.

I could not find anywhere some examples, so here is what i have done so far. -install phpcas and pam_cas -edit /etc/pam.d/dovecot auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_cas.so -simap://webmail.mydomain.com -f /etc/pam_cas.conf -edit /etc.pam_cas.conf host mycas.mydomain.com port 443 uriValidate /cas/proxyValidate ssl on proxy ??????????????????????? trusted_ca /etc/cert/certificate.pem debug on - and finally dovecot.conf which I'm sure is complety wrong userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } passdb { driver = pam args = cache_key=%u dovecot } What I get in log is Oct 15 15:39:58 auth-worker: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Oct 15 15:39:58 auth-worker: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Oct 15 15:39:58 auth-worker: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Oct 15 15:39:58 auth-worker: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_pgsql.so Oct 15 15:39:58 auth-worker: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Oct 15 15:39:58 auth-worker: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Oct 15 15:39:58 auth-worker: Debug: pam(user,127.0.0.1): lookup service=dovecot Oct 15 15:39:58 auth-worker: Debug: pam(user,127.0.0.1): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password: Oct 15 15:39:58 auth-worker: Info: pam(user,127.0.0.1): pam_authenticate() failed: Permission denied Oct 15 15:40:00 auth: Debug: client out: FAIL 1 user=user Oct 15 15:40:00 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<user>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Oct 15 15:40:00 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=9019) Any ideas?

[Dovecot] [sieve] - counting headers
by kjonca＠o2.pl 14 Oct '12

14 Oct '12

In some of my maildrop filters I have rules with weighted scoring[1], but only to count headers (for example to count "Received:" header) ie. all these rules are of form "/pattern/:h,1" Can dovecot sieve do this? KJ [1] http://www.courier-mta.org/maildrop/maildropfilter.html -- http://blogdebart.pl/2012/06/24/hiena/ Wiesz, tryb tekstowy w Linuksie ma się tak do DOSu jak F-117A do paralotni.

[Dovecot] Help!
by Justin Vore 13 Oct '12

13 Oct '12

HELP! I have installed sendmail, dovecot, and squirrel mail. The squirrel mail portion of it works just fine, but I would like to have Mozilla Thunderbird as a client. Whenever I try and connect to the server it says "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account." We do have an MX record in DNS pointing to our server. We are using Ubuntu 12.0.4.1, and have Dovecot 2.2.6 sendmail version 8.14.4-2ubuntu2 We are doing this for a class project and it is due by Tuesday 10/16/2012.. Thanks, Justin

[Dovecot] dsync ignores ssh-agent
by Mark Hills 13 Oct '12

13 Oct '12

I use IMAP over SSH, in pre-auth. I wanted to use dsync to offline mail to my laptop. dsync v2.1.10 would always ask for my SSH key/passphrase, ignoring ssh-agent. The culprit is the env_clean() in the stack below. Reading the source, I saw DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS. When used as follows in my script it enables dsync to find my ssh-agent: export DOVECOT_PRESERVE_ENVS="SSH_AGENT_PID SSH_AUTH_SOCK" dsync mirror ssh imap.example.com /home/mark/opt/dovecot/bin/dsync and it now works without asking for password every time. I'm posting here so that anyone else googling for the same problem will hopefully find this, as I couldn't find anything about this in the docs. Also I'm interested in why dsync so aggressively cleans the environment; I tried a naive removal of env_clean() but this breaks basic functions. With this dsync is working very well for offline mail -- combined with alpine and a local exim for the outbound queue :) Thanks -- Mark Breakpoint 2, env_clean () at env-util.c:59 59 if (clearenv() < 0) (gdb) bt #0 env_clean () at env-util.c:59 #1 0xb7df10fc in master_service_env_clean () at master-service.c:454 #2 0xb7df26d4 in master_service_exec_config (service=0x809e7d0, input=0xbffff7e4) at master-service-settings.c:103 #3 0xb7df29be in config_exec_fallback (service=0x809e7d0, input=0xbffff7e4) at master-service-settings.c:153 #4 0xb7df2b65 in master_service_open_config (service=0x809e7d0, input=0xbffff7e4, path_r=0xbffff780, error_r=0xbffff7d8) at master-service-settings.c:206 #5 0xb7df3130 in master_service_settings_read (service=0x809e7d0, input=0xbffff7e4, output_r=0xbffff7dc, error_r=0xbffff7d8) at master-service-settings.c:345 #6 0x0805c672 in doveadm_read_settings () at doveadm.c:275 #7 0x0805c7d6 in main (argc=5, argv=0x809e1c0) at doveadm.c:342

[Dovecot] INBOX.INBOX.Sent causes problems in 2.0
by Christoph Bußenius 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Hi, we have our namespace rooted at "INBOX.". Sometimes, users have folders like "INBOX.INBOX.Sent" or "INBOX.INBOX.INBOX.Sent". I do not know why these folders are created; I suspect it is due to buggy MUAs. If a mailbox like INBOX.INBOX.Sent exists, then in some cases Dovecot counts all messages in INBOX twice. This behavior can be demonstrated as follows: 1) Create a folder named "INBOX.INBOX.Sent" (using the IMAP CREATE command) 2) Save a message to "INBOX" (in my example the message is 7 MB) 3) dovecot-quota contains: priv/quota/storage 7129025 priv/quota/messages 1 4) doveadm quota recalc -u user1 5) Now dovecot-quota contains priv/quota/storage 14258050 priv/quota/messages 2 I.e. the user will experience that his quota fills up very fast. "doveadm -f flow fetch -u user1 'mailbox guid' ALL" prints: mailbox=INBOX guid=040ce73645177850497d000040c59ffc mailbox=INBOX guid=040ce73645177850497d000040c59ffc However, "doveadm -f flow fetch -u user1 'mailbox guid' mailbox INBOX" prints the message only once: mailbox=INBOX guid=040ce73645177850497d000040c59ffc How can we prevent this kind of confusion? What I'd like most is prevent the creation of these weird folders. Most MUAs have problems listing them properly, especially if both "INBOX.Sent" and "INBOX.INBOX.Sent" exist. Dovecot 2.1 does not seem to count anything twice. Cheers, Christoph Config: # 2.0.21: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=4096 } is lower than required under max. load (6224) # OS: Linux 2.6.32-42-server x86_64 Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_gid = vmail mail_location = mdbox:~/mail mail_plugins = quota mail_uid = vmail namespace default { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } plugin { quota = dict:ROOT::file:%h/dovecot-quota quota_rule = *:storage=5G } protocols = imap pop3 service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail mode = 0660 } } service imap { process_limit = 5000 } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { args = /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot/users driver = passwd-file } protocol imap { imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep mail_max_userip_connections = 20 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } And the contents of the "users" file: user1:{plain}secret:::user1:/mail/users/user1:: -- Christoph Bußenius Rechnerbetriebsgruppe der Fakultäten Informatik und Mathematik Technische Universität München +49 89-289-18519 <> Raum 00.05.040 <> Boltzmannstr. 3 <> Garching

[Dovecot] [PATCH] dovadm plugins underlinking
by Natanael Copa 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Hi, Running doveadm on Alpine Linux will show various underlinking errors: /usr/bin/doveadm: symbol 'acl_user_module': can't resolve symbol in lib '/usr/lib/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so'. /usr/bin/doveadm: symbol 'acl_identifier_parse': can't resolve symbol in lib '/usr/lib/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so'. ... (complete list is found here: http://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/1274) I understand that those are "harmless" (at least as long as you dont use those plugins), and even if some dynamic linkers are forgiving, the doveadm plugin modules are technically underlinked. The lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so uses symbol acl_user_module: $ nm -D /usr/lib/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so | grep acl_user_module U acl_user_module That symbol is defined in lib01_acl_plugin.so: $ nm -D /usr/lib/dovecot/lib01_acl_plugin.so | grep acl_user_module 000000000020fb80 D acl_user_module Which means that lib10_doveadm_acl_plugin.so should be directly linked to lib01_acl_plugin.so.

[Dovecot] imap proxy setup - "killed with signal 11"
by btb 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

hi- i'm setting up an imap proxy in front of a novell groupwise server. it seems to so far be partially working, but dovecot is having trouble in certain cases. i expect that it's ultimately due to what i believe is a very poor implementation of imap provided by groupwise [at least based on other experiences in the past] - but that's a big part of why i'd like to have dovecot in between it and clients. below is information collected during starting of dovecot, opening/initial connection from a client [os x mail.app], closing of the client, and stopping of dovecot. os is ubuntu 12.10 development/beta, dovecot is 2.1.7 courtesy of ubuntu's packages. log entries: Oct 11 13:24:33 halo dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.1.7 starting up Oct 11 13:24:49 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14171, TLS, session=<iHgu2cvLlwAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:50 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14174, TLS, session=<t1E/2cvLoQAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:51 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14176, TLS, session=<OZlM2cvLqgAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:51 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14178, TLS, session=<d3NU2cvLsQAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:51 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Connection closed in=16 out=350 Oct 11 13:24:52 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14180, TLS, session=<oxNa2cvLtAAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:52 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:24:52 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14176 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Oct 11 13:24:57 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:24:57 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14178 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Oct 11 13:24:57 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14182, TLS, session=<FUCv2cvLuAAKRChu> Oct 11 13:24:58 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:24:58 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14180 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Oct 11 13:25:03 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:25:03 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14182 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Oct 11 13:25:03 halo dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<jdoe>, method=PLAIN, rip=10.68.40.110, lip=10.59.1.53, mpid=14184, TLS, session=<DQkF2svLuwAKRChu> Oct 11 13:25:03 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:25:03 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14184 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Oct 11 13:25:09 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Error: imapc: Mailbox 'Trash' state corrupted: Expunged message reappeared in session (uid=6282 < next_uid=6283) Oct 11 13:25:09 halo dovecot: imap(jdoe): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 14174 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) [repeats] Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: dns-client: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: dns-client: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: auth: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: config: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: ssl-params: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: anvil: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) Oct 11 13:25:27 halo dovecot: log: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=1 uid=0 code=kill) gdb backtrace: ~ >gdb /usr/lib/dovecot/imap /var/cache/imapproxy/jdoe/core GNU gdb (GDB) 7.5-ubuntu Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

[Dovecot] per-user quotas
by David Mehler 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Hello, I've got quotas set up on an all-user basis on my system, it's a Postfix, Dovecot, Mysql virtual users setup. Currently I have each user getting a 1GB quota with these settings in 90-quota.conf: plugin { quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota } While this works it's not what I want for all users. Say I add a virtual user called user1 to the mysql database but he's a test user and I only want that user to have 25 megabytes of storage, reading the wiki on quotas per-user items such as for example in a database overrides the global items above, is this right? If so, I'm hoping I'm not going to have to redo my entire user database, some users will have per-user quotas while I'll let others have the global quota. Thanks. Dave.

[Dovecot] Feature Request
by Marc Perkel 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

It would be handy (for me) if there were a userdb where a directory structure defined the db. userdb stat { mail_location=maildir:/fakedir/%d/%n:INBOX=/email/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs } userdb stat { mail_location=maildir:/email/%d/%n:INBOX=/email/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs } The idea being that if the first directory doesn't exist then it will try the second one.

[Dovecot] Multiple Maildir?

OK - Getting close to everything working in my weird configuration. Here's a problem I'm still having. I'm authenticating with this: userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/master-combined-sql.conf } Default mail location: mail_location = maildir:/fakedir/%d/%n:INBOX=/email/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs However - what I'd like to do is if the mail location doesn't exist then I want to try a second mail location: mail_location = maildir:/email/%d/%n:INBOX=/email/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs How do I do that? Thanks in advance

[Dovecot] Shared Squat index for public mailboxes
by Frerich Raabe 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 1.2.17 for serving mail via IMAP as well as for providing access to a mailing list archive. The archive is implemented as a public read-only mailbox with per-user index files (i.e. the \Seen flags are per-user). I recently enbled the Squat plugin to accelerate searches in the message bodies and noticed that every user (I'm using a virtual user setup) gets his own dovecot.index.search and dovecot.index.search.uids copies. Is it possible to share those files among all users of the system? The squat plugin appears to store the search indices among the other index files (as explained on http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Squat) no matter what; I considered storing a central copy of the index files somewhere and then creating symlinks for all users. It should be ok as far as file-permissions go since all mail is owned by a single vmail system user, but I wonder whether the indices are really the same (I noticed their md5 checksums differ) and whether there may be file locking issues in case two users search message bodies simultaneously. Can anybody shed some light? -- Frerich Raabe - raabe(a)froglogic.com www.froglogic.com - Multi-Platform GUI Testing

[Dovecot] memory allocation in new thread
by . . 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi! I have some problems with memory allocation. I create new thread in cidir storage and call malloc(), and it fails to allocate even 1 byte. What can cause this problem? Dovecot vesrion is: 2.1.10 (130563b592c9+) Sample code looks like this (I also link to pthread with: -pthread): #define TEST_MALLOC() \ { \ void *p; \ p = malloc(1); \ if (!p) { \ i_info("%s: malloc() failed", __FUNCTION__); \ } else { \ i_info("%s: malloc() succeeded", __FUNCTION__); \ free(p); \ } \ } #include <pthread.h> static void *test_pthread_malloc_func(void *data_) { TEST_MALLOC(); return NULL; } static void test_pthread_malloc() { int ret; pthread_t tid; TEST_MALLOC(); ret = pthread_create(&tid, NULL, test_pthread_malloc_func, NULL); if (ret) { i_info("failed to start thread"); } else { pthread_join(tid, NULL); } } I call test_pthread_malloc() function. It produces following output: Oct 11 12:56:15 imap(guest): Info: test_pthread_malloc: malloc() succeeded Oct 11 12:56:15 imap(guest): Info: test_pthread_malloc_func: malloc() failed

[Dovecot] Irrelevant information filling logs
by 3.listas＠adminlinux.com.br 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi, I have a "Ubuntu10.04 + dovecot-2.0.13" configuration in my server. My mailbox server is shared by ~ 10k domains. It works fine with ~50k accounts. There is a lot of logs of "quota exceeded" like this: Oct 10 13:00:56 mailboxserver5 dovecot: lmtp(29105, user@mailboxserver5): Error: ifcIN1NxdVCxcQAAMBx7mQ: sieve: msgid=unspecified: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) These messages are not important to me. But these messages fill the log files, damaging the display of messages that could be important. Is there a way to send specific Dovecot errors on specific files or just discard them? Thanks -- Thiago Henrique adminlinux.com.br

[Dovecot] some questions on AOX or rather a mail system setup
by Christoph Anton Mitterer 11 Oct '12

11 Oct '12

Hi folks. Perhaps you find some time to look into this,... I'm trying to plan my mail system and would have some questions. The overall idea is about the following: - There is a (internet) server, which is the MTA (which will be postfix) and imap and/or pop3 server (which shall be, guess, dovecot ... AOX comes in later). - Any spam filtering, virus-scanning, mail filtering happens on that server. - I have not yet decided on whether to use maildrop for this or Sieve. Maildrop is nice, but has one major deficiency which I don't know how to work around. - A few clients (that means I won't serve 100 of users) connect to that server via imap and should see all mails, etc. already in some fancy sorted hierarchy (that means filtered into different directories). So far nothing complicated. But now... - Apart from spam, I never delete mail; and because I'm subscribed to many lists, I get a lot of mail. - Storage on my server is limited and it's located somewhere at my ISP, so I generally do not trust it with respect to safety... For both reasons, I want the canonical archive of all mail to be at home at some local server. - The local server should also be an imap server, so that I can access the archive from may computers at home. - The local server won't be available from the internet. - The local archive should have the same folder hierarchy as the internet server (I'd prefer not to filter twice). - The local archive might be AOX... Mail Flow: - I generally want to have _all_ mail (which is not sorted out because of being spam) to be archived at the local server. - But(!) I want to selectively keep (in addition) mail at the internet server. For example I may want to select the folder that contains all mail form some friend to be kept online completely. But I may want to decide that mailinglists keep only the last 10 days and/or 1000 messages of mail. - The idea is, that the local server regularly (when it is online/running) catches new mail from the internet server... and stores it in the archive. - So apart from new mail that has not yet been read, that local archive contains always all mails that are also on the internet server... the later may contain (for specific directories) the same, or just parts of. - The MUAs will then have two imap accounts, one to the internet server and one to the local archive,... each one being usable, depending on where I am. 1) This is where my first problem arises: How can I implement that mail flow, especially: - How do I secure that all mail is read from the internet server (i.e. that nothing is "forgotten"? - How do I make sure that no mails are retrieved twice (or more)? A problem which I often had with pop, when the mail client crashed during sync? - Further it must be secured, that when I delete something on the internet server, it is NOT deleted on the local server (on the next mail-fetching).... this is why I don't use the word "sync". a) One stupid solution would be, that I duplicate all mail on the online server,... one part is for staying online, one part is for being fetched to the local archive. As soon as it was fetched... that copy gets removed (always). That solution would give a clean and secured separation of both? b) I don't think offlineimap or any other caching-like solution is the right thing... especially as one must always fear that such a cache may be accidentally wiped.

[Dovecot] About ManageSieve and TLS

Hi, I have a "ubuntu10.04 + dovecot-2.0.13" configuration in my server. It works fine with ~50k accounts. Recently I enabled TLS: $ cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ... # Use SSL ? ssl = yes ... The goal was to provide only IMAPS and POP3S. But Managesieve says "STARTTLS": $ telnet _MY_IP_ 2000 Trying _MY_IP_... Connected to _MY_IP_. Escape character is '^]'. "IMPLEMENTATION" "K8 ManageSieve" "SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric copy envelope fileinto imapflags include notify regex reject relational subaddress vacation" "SASL" "PLAIN LOGIN" "STARTTLS" "VERSION" "1.0" OK "K8 IMAP/POP3 server" doveconf -a shows: service managesieve-login { ... inet_listener sieve { address = _MY_IP_ port = 4190 ssl = no } inet_listener sieve_deprecated { address = _MY_IP_ port = 2000 ssl = no } ... } I think there is something wrong there but I don't know. I think Managesieve should not say "STARTTLS". Can someone help me? Thanks. -- Thiago Henrique adminlinux.com.br

Re: [Dovecot] LDAP encryption

I don't think I understand. Right now the problem is the password retrieved from LDAP cannot be hashed to compare against what the user sent because it is encrypted.

[Dovecot] LDAP encryption
by James Devine 09 Oct '12

09 Oct '12

We have an LDAP server that contains AES encrypted passwords. So far I've been able to use this by adding a passdb module that encrypts the user's password prior to ldap comparison. Now I am looking at supporting client-side encrypted passwords. To do this I need to decrypt the password returned by LDAP. Is there a way to insert a module to do this decryption between ldap returning and the auth mechanism?

[Dovecot] some questions on dovecot or rather a mail system setup
by Christoph Anton Mitterer 09 Oct '12

09 Oct '12

Hi folks. Perhaps you find some time to look into this,... if you think I should better direct this do some dovecot mailing list,.. just tell :) I'm trying to plan my mail system and would have some questions. The overall idea is about the following: - There is a (internet) server, which is the MTA (which will be postfix) and imap and/or pop3 server (which shall be, guess, dovecot!). - Any spam filtering, virus-scanning, mail filtering happens on that server. - I have not yet decided on whether to use maildrop for this or Sieve. Maildrop is nice, but has one major deficiency which I don't know how to work around. - A few clients (that means I won't serve 100 of users) connect to that server via imap and should see all mails, etc. already in some fancy sorted hierarchy (that means filtered into different directories). So far nothing complicated. But now... - Apart from spam, I never delete mail; and because I'm subscribed to many lists, I get a lot of mail. - Storage on my server is limited and it's located somewhere at my ISP, so I generally do not trust it with respect to safety... For both reasons, I want the canonical archive of all mail to be at home at some local server. - The local server should also be an imap server, so that I can access the archive from may computers at home. - The local server won't be available from the internet. - The local archive should have the same folder hierarchy as the internet server (I'd prefer not to filter twice). Mail Flow: - I generally want to have _all_ mail (which is not sorted out because of being spam) to be archived at the local server. - But(!) I want to selectively keep (in addition) mail at the internet server. For example I may want to select the folder that contains all mail form some friend to be kept online completely. But I may want to decide that mailinglists keep only the last 10 days and/or 1000 messages of mail. - The idea is, that the local server regularly (when it is online/running) catches new mail from the internet server... and stores it in the archive. - So apart from new mail that has not yet been read, that local archive contains always all mails that are also on the internet server... the later may contain (for specific directories) the same, or just parts of. - The MUAs will then have two imap accounts, one to the internet server and one to the local archive,... each one being usable, depending on where I am. 1) This is where my first problem arises: How can I implement that mail flow, especially: - How do I secure that all mail is read from the internet server (i.e. that nothing is "forgotten"? - How do I make sure that no mails are retrieved twice (or more)? A problem which I often had with pop, when the mail client crashed during sync? - Further it must be secured, that when I delete something on the internet server, it is NOT deleted on the local server (on the next mail-fetching).... this is why I don't use the word "sync". a) One stupid solution would be, that I duplicate all mail on the online server,... one part is for staying online, one part is for being fetched to the local archive. As soon as it was fetched... that copy gets removed (always). That solution would give a clean and secured separation of both? b) I don't think offlineimap or any other caching-like solution is the right thing... especially as one must always fear that such a cache may be accidentally wiped. Are there better solutions than (a)? 2) Problem would be already a refinement of a working solution for (1) (but obviously not when using (1).(a) ). When e.g. reply to or forward a mail using the online server,... and that mail had already been fetched,... can I make the flag synced? 3) Is dovecot suitable for the local server? - Ideally of course, I would use dovecot there, too... because that would mean one piece of software less to understand. - I couldn't sue maildir locally, because I loose just to much space to the block fragmentation. - I'd prefer not to use dbox (the thing that the indices are crucial scares me a bit off). a) When using mbox... is dovecot able to manage a really big folder hierarchy that basically ever keeps growing... with easily several 100k mails per folder... and that is in total already over 100GB? - I would prefer to have fast full text search. Does dovecot provide this? I was looking into database backed mail systems (again,... just for the local archive)... namely dbmail and archiveopteryx (are there other open source solutions?)... Not sure which of the two... or whether it's a good idea at all. I remember some dovecot wiki page that showed a comparison which said that both do not perfectly implement imap. Any suggestions with respect to that? Or is there even some SQL backend planned for dovecot? Thanks a lot, Chris.

[Dovecot] Master User Question
by Marc Perkel 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

OK - I'm trying to do weird stuff so rather not answer why I'm doing this. Trying to log in using a master user: user@example.com*master@master.com When debugging the master authenticates - but then it tries to authenticate user(a)example.com and it's not found. And - it is true that the user doesn't actually exist. What I want to do is allow it to log in without checking if the user exists, just on the credentials of the master. I'm not quite understanding what the login attempt for user(a)example.com is trying to do. Is it looking for more necessary information? Hope I asked this clearly enough. Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] another mysql quota problem
by Tibby 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Hello! I am using dovecot 1.2.15 on Debian 6 I have Postfix configured with mysql, and also dovecot is auth-ing form mysql users table. The users table has username password quota stored. When I set qouta to whatever number, it doesnt even show in dovecot. telnet localhost 143 a login username(a)domain.tld password a getquotaroot inbox * QUOTAROOT "INBOX" a OK Getquotaroot completed. Basicly it doesn't show any kind of quota. in the /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf: driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mail user=USERNAME password=PASSWORD default_pass_scheme = CRYPT password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM users WHERE email='%u'; user_query = SELECT CONCAT(('/home/vmail/'), SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') AS home, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, CONCAT('maildir:storage=', floor(quota/1024)) AS quota FROM users WHERE email='%u'; Why it doesn't get the quota out from the mail DB's users table?

[Dovecot] Large subjects increase memory-usage and enlarge index-files
by Peer Heinlein 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Several times we already had the problems, that accounts with more the 1.3 or 1.7 billion e-mails in one folder run out-of-memory, even if vsize_limit of 750 MB is set. In this case, the lmtpd-process haven't been able to allocate more memory to read/write/update the index-files and crashed (and the index-files become corrupted at the end.) [Please -- don't discuss about the need of INBOXes with 1.7 million (unread) e-mails (don't discuss that with ME. Personally, I agree, that there's NO need for that...).] But: We also noticed accounts with ~ 300.000 e-Mails running out of memory in the same situations. This happends, if the subject is very large (subject or some other header attributes). And: We've been able to reproduce out-of-memory-Problems with just 13.000 e-mails with VERY long subjects (e.g.: network monitoring status informations), even with a vsize_limit of 750 MB (which is already very much). 13.000 e-mails isn't very much. And it's easy to inject several thousands of prepared e-mails. Having many mails for accounts with huge (and broken) index-files slows down the delivery rate VERY much and increases the need for memory and cpu resources and I/O very much. So: This could be used for a very easy to do denial-of-service attac against Dovecot-based mailservers. I don't have a clear solution for that, Dovecot needs the subject information in its index files. But it looks like, it isn't a good idea to put the whole subject into the index. Maybe it's better/necessary to use just the first 50-70 characters for that and to keep the rest away from the index? I think I would prefer that even if that means, that accessing those folders with "special" e-mails will become slower because Dovecot has to get those informations directly from the e-mail. This performance issue is just a problem for the user. But crashing lmtpd-processes and lowering the delivery rate is a *real* problem for the whole IMAP-cluster.

[Dovecot] [OT] How do I convert maildir to bsmtp format?
by Marc Perkel 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Here's what I'm trying to do. I have a spam filtering operation as a front end for other servers. I've created a virtual server for spam storage where the user will be able to log in using squirrelmail/dovecot to review and release their spam. The email is stored in maildir format. Piecing it together I can use squirrelmail to pipe the email into something so that if a use finds a false positive they can hit the "release" button and the message is sent on to the recipient. Squirrelmail sends the message as you would receive it as stored in maildir format. I need to take this format and translate it to send it on to the user. Wondering what is the best way to do that. Something that translated it into bsmtp format would be great. I'm sure thare must be something out there. I just haven't found it yet. Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] Dovecot configuration and question about IP trusted
by Mik J 07 Oct '12

07 Oct '12

Hello list, I've just finished to install Dovecot and things seems to work so far. After some little efforts though. My version is 2.0.20 Question 1: I'm trying to tighten the security a little bit and added in dovecot.conf login_trusted_networks = 192.168.1.0/30 Then restarted Dovecot My client has the IP 192.168.1.20 and it's still able to retrieve emails. I expected it to be forbidden. Am I missing something ? # dovecot -n | grep trust login_trusted_networks = 192.168.1.0/30 Question 2: I feel that Dovecot is slow. I'm doing my test with my iphone as an imap client. Test 1: I retrieve a mail on a remote server provided by a hosting company, it takes 2 seconds Test 2: I retrieve a mail on my server which is on my LAN, the mail includes a few letters in the subject and a few letters in the body. The action takes about 8 seconds. It's quite subtule to measure so first I would like to know if Dovecot tries to do a dns reverse lookup or something like that. And it would explain the overhead. Thank you

failed: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. The wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Services#doveadm states that the privileges are (temporarily) dropped to the mail user's privileges after userdb lookup. It seems that from the second purge on which is passed over a single doveadm connection, the user lookup fails. It also seems a bit strange, that the "-A" parameter can be observed in the doveadm tcp stream to the backend, since iteration should be already done in the director and the backend should purge only a single user: D username(a)example.org purge -A Is there a bug or have I misconfigured/overlooked something? Configs of mailbox backend and director are attached. Kind regards Daniel

[Dovecot] horde sync status ?
by Spyros Tsiolis 05 Oct '12

05 Oct '12

Hello all, I had a quick look at the horde site and noticed that horde is being advertised as, let's say, "smartphone friendly". Does anyone know if the newest horde version can "talk" to smart phones in regards to e-mails ? In other words, can a user owning a smartphone get his/her e-mails on it apart from the webpage ?

[Dovecot] bug formatting results when using doveadm-server
by Angel L. Mateo 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hello, I have a infrastructure using director in front of backend servers. So I normally run doveadm commands in director servers, not the backends. The problem I have is when I try to concatenate commands like this: doveadm search -S /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb -u ${user} SAVEDSINCE 5w | while read guid uid; do doveadm fetch -S /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb -u ${user} size.physical mailbox-guid $guid uid $uid; done The problem is that although when I run doveadm search command in the backend server I correctly get the list of mails, each line with the mailbox-guid and the uid of the message, when I run the same command in the director server, format of the list is corrupted and there are lines that contains just the mailbox-guid and the next the uid (of the previous) and the mailbox-guid of next, and so on. Like: e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 66 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 71 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 74 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 75 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 77 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 78 e62e0d3834ed094e5c7900007efb8a67 so I can't postprocess correctly the output. I think it could be a bug in the communication between the doveadm client and server. PS: As the time of writing this email, I have realized that I could use fetch command directly. But, anyway, I want to report the problem/bug so it can be fixed.

[Dovecot] possible nfs issue
by Cor Bosman 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hi all, we've started receiving complaints from users that seemingly use more quota than they actually have. We noticed that these users have (in some cases many) .nfs files in their mailspool. Some of our admins checked their own dirs, and noticed them there as well. This could of course be unrelated to dovecot (kernel issue, netapp issue) but maybe somehow has an idea about if dovecot could cause this. This has been going on for at least a year, not really enough to notice before now. root@userimap1# find . -type f|grep -i .nfs ./cur/.nfs00000000003967ad003c0603 ./cur/.nfs000000000757b44b003be609 ./cur/.nfs00000000035e89bd003be60b ./cur/.nfs000000000796251c003be60c ./cur/.nfs000000000796251f003be60e ./cur/.nfs000000000262f9a1003be33a ./cur/.nfs00000000096513f3003be524 ./cur/.nfs0000000007962525003be60f ./cur/.nfs0000000003e7d8ab003be62b ./cur/.nfs00000000026f4fad003be50d ./cur/.nfs0000000000bdaeab003c0611 ./cur/.nfs0000000005da42c7003be525 ./cur/.nfs0000000003d74729003be526 ./cur/.nfs000000000229769e003be535 ./cur/.nfs000000000440969e003be516 With NFS these files are created when a file gets unlinked, but another process still has it open. It disappears as soon as the other process closes it. For some reason they dont disappear. As far as I can tell we've had no server crashes that could explain this. One possible theory is that a rename happens after an unlink. In that case the file remains. This could possibly be a dovecot issue. Anyone else with NFS mailspools seeing this? Cor

[Dovecot] LDA vs LMTP index files
by list＠airstreamcomm.net 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

In the docs it states that LDA " ...takes mail from anMTAand delivers it to a user's mailbox, while keeping Dovecot index files up to date." I am wondering if LMTP also interacts with the Dovecot index files and keeps them up to date?

[Dovecot] [PATCH] Add SCRAM-SHA-1 password scheme
by Florian Zeitz 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hello, attached is an hg export on top of the current dovecot-2.2 branch, which adds support for a SCRAM-SHA-1 password scheme. Ideally I'd want doveadm pw's rounds flag to apply to this, but that's currently specific to the crypt password scheme, so I left it out for now. Regards, Florian Zeitz

[Dovecot] Syntax for doveadm auth cache
by Angel L. Mateo 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hello, What is the correct syntax of doveadm auth cache command? According to command line help: usage: doveadm [-Dv] [-f <formatter>] <command> [<args>] altmove [-u <user>|-A] [-S <socket_path>] [-r] <search query> auth [-a <auth socket path>] [-x <auth info>] <user> [<password>] auth cache but when I try to run doveadm auth cache, then I'm asked for a password, so I think the command is trying to authenticate cache user. Moreover... according to previous mails (thread http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2012-June/066691.html) there is a patch to remove a specific user entry from cache. This patch I think is included in dovecot 2.1.9 (which I'm running) and the syntax is (I think): doveadm auth cache flush <user> 4 cache entries flushed So I'm running this command. Whenever I run it, I get the message that 3 (sometimes, is 4) entries are removed, but user information isn't really reloaded and I doubt it is really removed from cache (I have the user in a passwd-file and information used by imap processes is still the old one, no the new one, changed before the flush) -- Angel L.

I conjectured that these attempts are SMTP AUTH, not IMAP, brute forcing. Are you using the dovecot's SASL feature to authenticate outgoing Email (i.e. via Postfix?). Maybe you verify this hypothesis by checking the Postfix logs. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] Spurious " Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions"
by tlhackque 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Dovecot 2.1.10 Client = Thunderbird. Local disks. mbox format. Attempted to rename a folder, failed with: CANNOT Renaming not supported across conflicting directory permissions I don't understand why this should happen. o I was renaming within a directory - the attempt was to rename "Domain Names &- SSL Certificates" to "Domain Names". No directory was specified o The reason the directory has g=s is for dovecot - so that the 'mail' group (12) will stick to any files created. I was getting more understandable permission failures before I added it. Since 's' doesn't apply to files, I don't see why this should be viewed as a conflict. o If I chmod g-s the directory, the command succeeds.

[Dovecot] noisy auth-worker messages in logs (dovecot 2.1.8 FreeBSD)
by Philippe Chevalier 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hello, I don't know if it's been addressed before, but anyway : In my dovecot setup, I have local and virtual users. So, I need multiple passdb backends. Namely, passwd for the local users and ldap for the virtual users. passdb { driver = passwd } passdb { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } Everything work correctly : when a user logs in (imap/pop3) there's a lookup in passwd and if it fails there's a lookup in ldap (if I understand the process correctly), which eventually succeeds. Except that every time a virtual user logs in, dovecot logs an error, like : dovecot: auth-worker(99126): Error: passwd(xxx(a)domain.org,12.34.254.255): getpwnam() failed: Invalid argument I guess it's because the login is a full email that getpwnam fails. Anyway, the user logs in just fine. But I would like to know if/how I can get rid of the messages filling my logs ? I tried : auth_debug_passwords = no auth_verbose = no But no dice. I used dovecot 1.x before and there was no such messages. Thanks for any advice.

[Dovecot] LTMP Proxy fails when backend server connection refused
by Jack Bates 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Version: 2.1.9 Connecting directly to the proxy server on the LMTP port, issue lhlo, mail from, rcpt to, data. After the . closing of data, it just hangs there. The logs on the proxy server show: Sep 27 19:55:12 proxy1 dovecot: lmtp(9398): Connect from 69.8.2.71 Sep 27 19:55:24 proxy1 dovecot: lmtp(9398): Error: lmtp client: connect(lmtp, 7025) failed: Connection refused root 9398 1102 0 19:53 ? 00:00:00 dovecot/lmtp The proxy server is hard coded (not director in this case). I purposefully shut it down to see how the system would handle failures. Unfortunately, it appears that the process just hangs there. For fun, I tried a separate protocol lmtp option in the config to try proxy_timeout. It made no difference. Missing some error handling? protocol lmtp { passdb { driver = static args = proxy=y host=%s nopassword=y proxy_timeout=120 } } Jack

[Dovecot] Logging IP address for failed login
by Scott Neville 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hi, I am trying to use the logs to show the IP that brute force activity comes from, but Im not succeeding. I have read the archives and seen the advice others have had. I can see logs for repeated bad logins, but I need the IP address from the attempts. dovecot 2.0.12 / CentOS 5.4 / imaps only (993) I have tried a bunch of different combinations of 10-logging.conf settings. This is what I have currently (that does not work the way I want): auth_verbose = yes #auth_verbose_passwords = no #auth_debug = yes #auth_debug_passwords = no #mail_debug = no I *dont* want to see the passwords, either failed or successful.

So is this a dovecot logging configuration combination I need to find? Is it getting lost in pam? Is it specific to CentOS? Any help appreciated - happy to read up on it myself, but would need a pointer, since the docs so far either assume I get an imap-login line for failed logins which I dont, or they assume I just want to see the repeated attempts/passwords.

[Dovecot] Log NAT IP address?
by Charles Marcus 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Hi Timo/everyone, Currently we are logging the remote IP, but is there a way to show the IP address that the NAT connection is coming from? The reason I ask is, we are changing ISPs, and I would like to see in the logs when an external connection is coming from our OLD ISP connection, and when it is coming through our new one. We have a Watchguard firewall, and I have both External connections setup and working, and have just pointed our DNS records to the new public IP, and would like to be able to see which WAN connection/IP they are coming from. Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] Problem: dovecot-lda doesn't auto-create folders
by Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci 01 Oct '12

01 Oct '12

Hello everyone, I recently updated to dovecot 2.0.19 (in fact, I updated the whole system to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I am using the dovecot from the Ubuntu packages) and just today found out that the dovecot-lda for some reason doesn't auto-create missing folders anymore as it did with my old installation (1.0.10). I have a "system users" layout and send my mails through a user-specific procmail filter. Every delivery in those filters is done via dovecot-lda using a line list this: > |$DELIVER -d archive -m lists.hylafax-`date "+%Y%m"` where $DELIVER is set to > DELIVER="/usr/bin/sudo /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda" (I use the sudo because some of the procmail lines deliver the mail to folders in a different user's mailbox.) This works fine for all users, unless the mail folder to be delivered to doesn't exist yet. Here's an example of such a delivery attempt: > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda: Debug: auth input: archive > system_groups_user=archive uid=1002 gid=1002 home=/home/archive > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Effective uid=1002, gid=1002, > home=/home/archive > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Namespace : type=private, > prefix=, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes > location=maildir:/home/archive/Maildir > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: maildir++: > root=/home/archive/Maildir, index=, control=, > inbox=/home/archive/Maildir, alt= > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: none: root=, index=, control=, > inbox=, alt= > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Destination address: xxx(a)xxxx.de > (source: user@hostname) > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Namespace : > /home/archive/Maildir/.lists.hylafax-201210 doesn't exist yet, using > default permissions > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions > from /home/archive/Maildir: mode=0755 gid=-1 > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Namespace : > /home/archive/Maildir/.lists.hylafax-201210 doesn't exist yet, using > default permissions > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions > from /home/archive/Maildir: mode=0755 gid=-1 > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Info: > msgid=<201210010954.02813.hylafax_resp(a)earthshod.co.uk>: save failed > to open mailbox lists.hylafax-201210: Mailbox doesn't exist: > lists.hylafax-201210 > Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Info: > msgid=<201210010954.02813.hylafax_resp(a)earthshod.co.uk>: saved mail to > INBOX Can anyone tell me what goes wrong here and how to fix it? From what I could find out dovecot-lda should auto-create those mailbox folders, but somehow it doesn't. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance Kasi Mir

[Dovecot] Dovecot Authentication through different IMAP server?
by Marc Perkel 28 Sep '12

28 Sep '12

Just wondering - is there any way for a dovecot server to authenticate against a different IMAP server? Here's what I'm thinking. I run a spam filtering service and thinking about a way to give users access to their stored spam on my servers. However real email is forwarded to their server, So I'm wondering if I can configure dovecot somehow to do a back end authentication to their email account to gain access to their spam. Open to suggestions

[Dovecot] Hanging IMAP sessions on Mac OS X with dovecot 2.1.10 - worked fine with 2.0.15
by Clemens Schrimpe 28 Sep '12

28 Sep '12

Ok, here's a toughie: Out of a whim (and because of the bad weather) I today decided to upgrade my completely functioning 2.0.15 installation on my Mac OS X 10.6.7 system. NB: It's not a Mac OS X "Server", as sold by Apple - I have compiled my dovecots myself for quite a while. Anyhow: At first everything appeared to work fine after the upgrade. Up until I created a new user and -while testing- SELECTed his INBOX. The SELECT was "stuck". Though the process seemed to be alive I could only get rid of it with a "kill -9 <pid>". The same happened when selecting a newly created mailbox on any of the other (otherwise functioning) accounts, so the problem had nothing to do with the new account, but rather with the fact, that it's INBOX was empty. Using dtruss and gdb I found out, that the dovecot process was trying to obtain a GUID and in the course of doing so invoked gethostbyname(), which intern caused a lot of "mach message" handling and somewhere, deep down there, the process was stuck. Well, that led my to believe, that there was something wrong with the -so called- "mach bootstrap context". I usually start dovecot from with a (home-brewn) startup-script, which invokes it (practically) like so: sudo /usr/libexec/StartupItemContext dovecot (again: all this was working fine under 2.0.15) Now with 2.1.10, when I manually invoke dovecot with just sudo dovecot Everything appears to work fine - at least the sessions don't get stuck any more. But as soon as I logout (with dovecot still running in the background) it loses it's "mach bootstrap context" and finds itself unable to perform even the simplest tasks, like mapping a username to a uid, etc. pp. -- so starting it without the "/usr/libexec/StartupItemContext" in the background is out of the question. Now -with all that said- here's my question: What has changed with regards to "processual context" between 2.0.15 and 2.1.10 when the "imap" process is spawned/exec'd? Any environmental cleanups, closing of unknown fds, deletion/modification of environment variables, process-group-handlers, etc.? It appears, that the imap process no longer "inherits" the StartupItemContext from the main process, so some change between 2.0.15 and 2.1.10 must have broken it ... Any help is highly appreciated - Clemens PS: I google'd around a lot and searched the mailing-lists, of course. I only found a post of someone who ran into the same/similar problem dating back to Feb 21st 2012 under the subject "dovecot freezes when trying to get mail from maildir with mail", but it was quickly dismissed without ever getting resolved and that was that. PS2: I intentionally didn't include any configs with this mail as they seem to be irrelevant, but of course I can generate the necessary output if needed.

[Dovecot] Plugin "lazy_expunge" and subfolder
by Andreas Kossack 28 Sep '12

28 Sep '12

Hi Timo, hi all, we want to use the "lazy_expunge" plugin (from dovecot 2.1.10) and had configured it in a test environemnt like described in "http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Lazyexpunge" (1 namespace) There are some subfolders from "INBOX" (like "INBOX/SPAM") in a "maildir++" configuration. All actions on first level directories ".INBOX", ."Sent" or ".Archives" are working as expected. If there is an expunge activity on e.g. ".INBOX.SPAM" directory we get an error message in dovecot log: Sep 26 12:27:55 imap(testuser): Error: lazy_expunge: Couldn't open expunge mailbox: Character not allowed in mailbox name: '.' What can we do or change to make it work? -- Best regards A.

[Dovecot] sieve vacation
by Bob Miller 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hello, I set up pigeonhole on a server and am using roundcube's sieverules to create a set of rules. When using the vacation feature, I can see in the logs that dovecot is sending the vacation response, but the recipient never receives it. What method does dovecot use to send the response? Does it use the sendmail binary, does it use the mail command, does it connect to some smtp server somewhere, does it use qmail-inject if it finds it? I find no evidence it is using any of these methods on my server, but I am not sure if one of these methods is failing or if there is some place else I should be looking for the missing vacation response... Thank you for any suggestions... -- Computerisms Bob Miller 867-334-7117 / 867 633 3760 http://computerisms.ca

[Dovecot] with mbox format doveadm ignores subfolders of inbox
by Jürgen Obermann 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hello. After we switched the format from mbox to mdbox on our dovecot (version 2.1.9) servers last week, some of our users were missing the subfolders of their inboxes. So far we thought that with the mbox format it is not possible to have mail folders containing both messages and subfolders. Now we know that there is one exception from this rule: the inbox. With mbox format dovecot supports subfolders of the inbox, and a few of our users actually detected and used this feature! Internally the messages are stored in /var/mail/user or in a file named 'inbox' and the subfolders are in the directory 'INBOX'. (The OS is case sensitiv.) The problem was that doveadm and dsync do not support subfolders of the inbox and therefore these folders did not get synchronized from our old mbox server to the new mdbox dovecot server. The command doveadm -o mail_location=mbox:~user123/Mail mailbox list -u user123 '*' did not show any subfolder of INBOX, whereas the the following with a wrong mail_location showed that there are subfolders of INBOX doveadm -o mail_location=mbox:~user123 mailbox list -u user123 '*' Finally we could import the missing subfolders one after one in the mdbox server with commands like this: doveadm import -u user123 mbox:~user123/Mail "" mailbox INBOX/subfolder all It would be nice if doveadm could be changed to not overlook subfolders of the inbox with mbox format.

[Dovecot] Changing Quota downward for special Mailboxes? (2.1.6)
by Jost Krieger 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

It seems there is no way to correct te quota limit downward for some mailboxes, like: quota_rule9 = UCE-TMP:storage=-10%% The idea is to not eat up the users storage with spam, so that spam stays in the queue (for some time) while real mail gets delivered. There *is* a line } else if (*value != '-' && relative_rule) { in quota.c, but nothing else handles it, starting with quota_rule_parse_percentage.

[Dovecot] 76Gb to 146Gb
by Spyros Tsiolis 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hello all, I have a DL360 G4 1U server that does a wonderfull job with dovecot horde, Xmail and OpenLDAP for a company and serving about 40 acouunts. The machine is wonderful. I am very happy with it. However, I am running out of disk space. It has two times 76Gb Drives in RAID1 (disk mirroring) and the capacity has reached 82%. I am starting of getting nervous. Does anyone know of a painless way to migrate the entire contents directly to another pair of 146Gb SCSI RAID1 disks ? I thought of downtime and using clonezilla, but my last experience with it was questionable. I remember having problems declaring disk re-sizing from the smaller capacity drives to the larger ones.

[Dovecot] second dovecot imap server

27 Sep '12

Hello again all, I would like to thank everyone for rushing to help me with the dovecot migration issue. I am , currently, reading and studying what has been said by all the good and kind people who responded to this list. OK, on the same issue,I thought of adding a totally new server with dovecot acting as a secondary/backup server for the mail servicing. Would that be possible ? What if I manage to make it work; Can I retire the old(er) server ? I would think that this is more on-topic than my last post. If I am out of line again, please respond in private. Thank you all! spyros ---- "I merely function as a channel that filters music through the chaos of noise" - Vangelis

I have a user who occasionally reads, then deletes emails using his phone, on his and others email accounts, causing emails deleted on mail server, then he says 'oops, can you recover emails I've deleted?' what's the best way to duplicate all emails to duplicate accounts ? backup folders ? so, next time he deletes emails they can be 'recovered' on the server ? I was thinking along the lines of duplicating ALL emails...? any tips and pointers appreciated -- Voytek

I'm going to bring it back on topic. To recap the issue: 1. 73GB volume, ~82% full. Volume contains OS, spool, and mailboxes 2. Two 146GB drives on hand that are impossible to employ in either a live or offline migration due to hardware limitations--drive slots (0.82*73GB=60GB)-5GB(OS)= ~55GB/40= ~1.375GB/user mailbox (This math assumes the box has already been scoured and things like source files and other temporary stuff has already been removed, along with anything and everything not necessary to the primary functions of this box) 1.375GB/user suggests these users seem to horde old emails, or simply don't keep their mailboxes tidy. Normally I'd guess that a lot of space in a situation like this is taken up by full text search indexes, but you don't appear to have these enabled. I notice in your 'dovecot -n' output that you are already employing zlib, but to what degree is currently unknown to the list. Are you compressing maildirs with a nightly script? If not, and you're compressing on an ad hoc basis, realtime compression during write could save you quite a bit of additional space, extending the operating life of your current drives. Of course a simple request to your users to clean up their mailboxes would surely help as well, if that's a possibility--some users would flog one for making such a suggestion. If you're not fully taking advantage of compression currently, you may want to consider upgrading to Dovecot 2.x which allows transparent compression to dbox and maildir storage. You may want to migrate to mdbox message store format while still using zlib, and enable single instance attachment storage (SIS). As the name suggests, SIS saves an attachment only once, regardless how many user emails in which it exists. See: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Zlib I'd point you to the docs for SIS but I'm unable to find them in the Wiki. Surely someone else can provide the settings and/or update the wiki. -- Stan

[Dovecot] Traffic Accounting
by M. Naumann 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

Hi, I'm trying to find out how to do traffic accounting with Dovecot 2.x, preferrably v2.0.9, preferrably on CentOS 6. I've previously asked on IRC, but there was little feedback, and my understanding is now this list is the preferred media for such inquiries. If I recall correctly, some weeks ago I was told that traffic accounting is not officially supported on Dovecot 2, but that there could still be ways to get it to work, but no details were provided. I can think of the following approaches: * rawlog, preferrably piped (if that's possible?) into something like wc to prevent privacy issues and to reduce the I/O overhead * maildrop filtering in front of dovecot LDA (for mail inbound to mail storage) * sieve filtering Unfortunately I have little experience with either so far, so it's hard to make a good choice. I would appreciate hints on these approaches, and on any other approaches you can think of, as well as any related documentation / how-to you could point me to. While I'm subscribed to the list (for mail authentication purposes), I've disabled receiving any e-mail form the list, so please CC me on any replies. Thanks in advance, Moritz

[Dovecot] dsync

Hi Testing dsync, things go wrong: doveadm sync -u user remote:root@mail2.example.net dsync-local(user): Error: Mailboxes don't have unique GUIDs: 72e3be2c6f203b50883c000044af56a8 is shared by RT and RT_72e3be2c6f203b50883c000044af56a8 Obviously RT_72e3be2c6f203b50883c000044af56a8 is an outdated copy of RT But .mailboxlist does not list that mailbox. Is there a trick to make sure dsync only use valid mailboxes? I have this in dovecot.conf mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/mail/indexes/%u:SUBSCRIPTI ONS=../.mailboxlist Another problem, that may or may not be related: dsync-local(user): Error: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file /home/user/mail/RT at 60298748 dsync-local(user): Error: Failed to sync mailbox RT: Timeout while waiting for lock dsync-local(user): Error: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file /home/user/mail/RT at 63587421 dsync-local(user): Error: Failed to sync mailbox RT: Mailbox GUIDs are not permanent without index files I also get this: dsync-local(user): Error: Failed to sync mailbox RT: Mailbox GUIDs are not permanent without index files dsync-local(user): Error: proxy client timed out (waiting for MSG-GET message from remote) And this: dsync-local(user): Error: read() from worker server failed: EOF And generally speaking ,how good is dsync? is it usabel in production?

[Dovecot] Sieve as mail client?
by Tom Horsley 23 Sep '12

23 Sep '12

A slightly off topic question, but maybe someone here has seen something like this: I want a program that operates entirely on the client side of an IMAP server, and implements the sieve filtering language by doing the necessary client side operations to move mail on the IMAP server, expunge mail, etc. It would also act as a proxy between my real mail client and the IMAP server so I'd never see any mail that hasn't been filtered first. The benefits are obvious: I could finally get sieve filtering on my stupid corporate exchange mail server :-).

[Dovecot] Update: Hanging IMAP sessions on Mac OS X with dovecot 2.1.10 - worked fine with 2.0.15 (and 2.0.21)
by Clemens Schrimpe 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Update: I tried with 2.0.21 and this also works just fine. So it must be something which came in with 2.1.x PS: Where is the documentaion for 2.1.x - i.e. for all the nice additions Timo made? The Website "only" has 2.0.x, as far as I can tell? (might be wrong here - hadn't touched the whole thing for a while, as my "civil life" had occupied me :-) Greetings, Clemens

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.2.11 panic in mail-transaction-log-view?

[Dovecot] thunderbird does not copy a tree-structure to dovecot imap
by Anton 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Hi, running in problems with KMail I decided to switch to dovecot-imap & thunderbird on my kubuntu 12.04 64 bit (so I can read my imap-folder-mails with KMail again if it gets more stable) What I did: - I wrote a python script to convert my KMail mails folder to a thunderbird mailfolder (directory tree containing mbox files and *.sbd folders) - I created a fake pop mail account in thunderbird and imported the whole mail-structure (i just copied it) - I create a local imap account ( so I have a ~/Maildir dovecot folder in my user dir) - In /etc/dovecot: 1. /etc/dovecot/10-mail.conf (line 10) I set: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs 2. /etc/dovecot/20-imap.conf (line 57) I set: imap_client_workarounds = tb-extra-mailbox-sep Now I want to copy the whole mailstructure from my imported fake pop mailfolder to the dovecot imap folder. What happens: Lets say my source structure is mailfolder1 + mail1 + mail2 + subMailFolder2 + mail1-in-subMailFolder2 + mail2-in-subMailFolder2 + subSubMailFolder3 + mail1-in-subMailFolder3 + mail2-in-subMailFolder3 I thunderbird (version 15) I drag and drop my mailFolder1 to the imap folder and I get: mailfolder1 + mail1 + mail2 + subMailFolder2 + subSubMailFolder3 as you See only the mails of the *TOP* folder are copied. All subfolders are created but they contain NO MAILS. Did somebody experience the same problem??? Otherwise I will write a python script to do that (I dont hope to need to write a mailclient in python ;-) ) Any hint is greatly welcome. Anton

[Dovecot] key -> object mailstore
by Damien Churchill 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi, I was wondering what would be entailed in modifying dovecot 2.2 to support storing mail in an object store. I've seen a few mails dotted around in the ML history about supporting such a thing and seen it's basically dependant upon some changes in lib-storage to support writing messages without locking. Is this still the case? Regards, Damien

[Dovecot] Trouble implementing Antispam plug-in for Dovecot
by Ben Johnson 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hello, I am attempting to use the Antispam plug-in for Dovecot and am having trouble with the implementation. My configuration is Dovecot (1.2.9) + Sieve + SpamAssassin on Ubuntu 10.04. Mail that SpamAssassin tags as SPAM is moved into the affected user's "Junk" folder (/var/vmail/example.com/user/Maildir/.Junk). I followed the Wiki article at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Antispam . After restarting Dovecot, my IMAP client (Thunderbird v15) reports the following whenever I attempt to move mail from Inbox to "Junk" directory: "[CANNOT] antispam plugin not configured" That exact phrase appears only once in a Google search ( http://dovecot-antispam.sourcearchive.com/documentation/1.1plus-p20090218.g… ): if (!hamaddr || !spamaddr) { mail_storage_set_error(t->box->storage, ME(NOTPOSSIBLE) "antispam plugin not configured"); return -1; } Based on the surrounding source code, which I realize may be old, it seems that Ham and Spam addresses are required, or similar. I am using the following configuration options: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf -------------------- ## IMAP specific settings protocol imap { mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugins = quota imap_quota antispam } # [...] plugin { antispam_debug_target = syslog antispam_verbose_debug = 1 antispam_backend = pipe antispam_pipe_program = /usr/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh antispam_pipe_program_spam_arg = --spam antispam_pipe_program_notspam_arg = --ham antispam_spam_pattern_ignorecase = spam;junk } -------------------- For what it's worth, the logging directives seem not to have any effect (and perhaps the rest of the directives do not, either, hence the problem I'm having). I tried changing the above directives to their older directive names (I also changed the order slightly, which may be irrelevant): -------------------- plugin { antispam_debug_target = syslog antispam_verbose_debug = 1 antispam_backend = pipe antispam_mail_spam = --spam antispam_mail_notspam = --ham antispam_mail_sendmail = /usr/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh antispam_spam_pattern_ignorecase = spam;junk } -------------------- This changed the message in my IMAP client, when attempting to move a message from my Inbox to the Junk folder, to: "[SERVERBUG] failed to send mail" Does this indicate a problem with the "/usr/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh" script that is provided on the Wiki (cited above)? Also, it was not clear from the documentation ( http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/files/antispam.html ) whether or not the Pipe back-end requires the X-DSPAM-Signature header, and if so, to what value it should be set when using SpamAssassin. Thanks for any pointers, -Ben

[Dovecot] Wrong quota calculation
by Cibest ML 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hi, We've a strange quota behavior on our dovecot servers. It seems that it's somehow doubling the real used storage (or could be something like twice the inbox size + size of other folders, hard to know for sure). It was initial setup with the maildir++ system. Now it's been configured with dict and mysql table but the result is the same. Dovecot version : 2.1.7 (from squeeze-backports). Maildir format is used As example, let's use mailbox(a)domain.com. If I check in the quota table, I'll find : - size : 697151354 - number of files : 1510 Now if I check the Maildir folder on the filesystem, I'll find : - size : 347960000 - number of files : 824 (using find . -type f|grep -v dovecot|wc -l, not 100% accurate) Another mail box Reported by dovecot : 503446986 1081 Filesystem : 248592000 598 Does anyone has an idea of what could be possibly wrong. We've checked & double-checked everything and nothing seems to be wrong (no dsync used). -- Regards Sébastien

[Dovecot] v2.1.10 released
by Timo Sirainen 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.10.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.1/dovecot-2.1.10.tar.gz.sig The director bugfix is pretty important at least when running in two director setups, since it can break the directors until both of them are manually shut down. I'm not entirely sure if the same happens in >2 director setups, but I'd think so (although I do wonder why I haven't seen it happen in them). BTW. I'm hoping for v2.2.alpha1 release within a week or two and to get it stabilized rather quickly. + imap: Implemented THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT extension. + Added "doveadm exec" command to easily execute commands from libexec_dir, e.g. "doveadm exec imap -u user@domain" + Added "doveadm copy" command. + doveadm copy/move: Added optional user parameter to specify the source username. This allows easily copying mails between different users. + Added namespace { disabled } setting to quickly enable/disable namespaces. This is especially useful when its value is returned by userdb. + Added mailbox_alias plugin. It allows creating mailbox aliases using symlinks. + imapc storage: Added imapc_max_idle_time setting to force activity on connection. + fts-solr: Expunging multiple messages is now faster. - director: In some conditions director may have disconnected from another director (without logging about it), thinking it was sending invalid data. - imap: Various fixes to listing mailboxes. - pop3-migration plugin: Avoid disconnection from POP3 server due to idling. - login processes crashed if there were a lot of local {} or remote {} settings blocks.
