[Dovecot] FOLDER INTERNAL DATA (uw pine header)
by Charles Gregory 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hello! I run Dovecot on CentOS 4 (dovecot-1.1.4-0_81.el4), and I *also* run the "Alpine" mail system that comes with that OS. Alpine still writes out the 'FOLDER INTERNAL DATA' pseudo-message at the beginning of each user's mbox, but dovecot does not. I make use of that record as a simle/quick way to verify when a user actually last read their e-mail (for administrative purposes, identifying stale/unused accounts), so is there any way to configure/command dovecot to write (or update) these hidden messages? (Note: I tried looking in the archives, but most references seemed to be about this message being a 'side effect' of transferring *from* UW IMAP, and how to get 'rid' of it. Not what I need. :) Apologies if this was covered before in a different thread.) - Charles

[Dovecot] uint_cmp bug
by Mike Abbott 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

In reviewing the differences between 1.1.8 and 1.1.9 I saw a probable bug in the new function uint_cmp() in src/lib-storage/index/maildir/ maildir-sync-index.c: if (*i1 < *i2) return -1; else if (*i1 > *i2) return -1; else return 0; The second case should return 1 not -1.

[Dovecot] Released ManageSieve v0.10.5 for Dovecot v1.1.9
by Stephan Bosch 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hello Dovecot users, Because there was a crash bug in the ManageSieve v0.10.4 login daemon, I made a new release of the ManageSieve service for Dovecot v1.1. This release includes two other small fixes as well. Changelog v0.10.5: - Fixed a segfault bug in the authentication time-out. Bug report and trace provided by Wolfgang Friebel. - Fixed maximum permissions for uploaded scripts; was 0777. This was shielded however by the default umask (not documented to be configurable), so the actual permissions would never have been 0777. - Fixed handling of ~/ in use of mail-data for script location The following files are released: ManageSieve package: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.5.tar.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.5.tar.gz.s… ManageSieve patch: http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9-managesieve-0.10.5.diff.gz http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9-managesieve-0.10.5.diff.g… Have fun testing the new releases and don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems.

Hi all, I am running Dovecot v1.1.7 in a relatively quiet and calm environment. Suddenly overnight cron job has started throwing out errors like: /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool Error: userdb(user1(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Error: userdb(user2(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Indeed, running this command produces: ------------------------- $ sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool --test Error: userdb(user1(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Info: User lookup failed: user1(a)mail.example Error: userdb(user2(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Info: User lookup failed: user2(a)mail.example ------------------------- Yet these mailboxes are valid, corresponding users can login, send and receive mail. Other mailboxes are OK, too. Where to to start looking? I found that similar error message with v1.1.6 is fixed in v1.1.7, but I am running v.1.1.7 already. Please see dovecot configuration below.

[Dovecot] Shared Mailboxes (symlink) and kmail: known issues?
by Wilhelm Meier 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi, are there any known issues with symlinked-shared-mailboxes and kmail? I use virtual users (LDAP), so there are no unix-permissions related problems here: all mailboxes are owned by the local user vmail. Each user maildir has some symlinks to shared mailboxes. This works fine if I use squirrelmail as a MUA. kmail instead seems to have some problems: if I save a mail into the shared-folder, the other users are seeing this new mail almost immediately. But if I delete(!) a mail from the shared-folder, the list of the other kmails remains untouch. Refreshing does nothing. I have to close kmail and restart. Is this related to some sort of wrong config of the shared mailboxes or is this a (known) dovecot <-> kmail problem? -- Wilhelm

[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes support status
by Thomas Hummel 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hello Timo, I'm running dovecot-1.1.8 and I'm about to play with namespaces and shared mailboxes. I've read on the list that the Kolab people did contribute to that, and I read at http://dovecot.org/doc/NEWS-1.2 "+ Full support for shared mailboxes and IMAP ACL extension." I'd like to know the differences between shared mailboxes support between 1.1. and 1.2 branches and if it may be considered "safe" to use shared mailboxes on a production server running 1.1.8+ dovecot version (i.e. is it working and how, compared to the upcoming 1.2 release). I guess part of the answer is in the diffences between shared and public namespaces handling. Thanks -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

[Dovecot] Postfix and Dovecot
by Leonardo Coelho 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi Everybody, I'm mount two failover servers which use Postfix and Dovecot but the hostname of the machines r diferent: first node # uname -n # mail secound node #uname -n #mail2 So far so good, the real problem is that the e-mail file name on server is like this: 1232449377.P31789Q0M963611.mail2 and when I using the server called mail the file stay like this: 1232449377.P31789Q0M963611.mail I'm using drbd disk for the mailboxes and when I'm using the server called mail the files with mail2 on the end is not read for the dovecot when the user turn on the mail client but if I change the end from mail2 to mail that's ok the dovecot can read. How can I make dovecot read both files or any name on the end?

[Dovecot] Dovecot upgrade broke per-user Sieve scripts
by John Reese 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

Hi all, I'm migrating my private mail server from Dovecot 1.0.10 to Dovecot 1.1.4 (both the latest package in Ubuntu Hardy and Intrepid, resp.). I'm using Postfix with Postfixadmin virtual users , passing mail to Dspam, which in turn passes email to the Dovecot LDA. The relevant configuration section is attached below. When running on the old version of Dovecot, the LDA correctly executed either the user's personal sieverc script, or the global sieverc, as expected. However, after the upgrade to 1.1.4, Dovecot will not execute any per-user Sieve scripts, although the configuration and file permissions hasn't changed. I've added debug logging to Dovecot, and the relevant portions of the log file are also attached below. What am I missing here? Why can't cmusieve find the user's script?

[Dovecot] v1.1.9 released
by Timo Sirainen 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.1/dovecot-1.1.9.tar.gz.sig Lots of small dbox fixes, hopefully migrations from Maildir are now working correctly. I'm also planning on releasing v1.2.beta1 in a few days. + Sending SIGUSR2 to dovecot-auth now also logs statistics about cache inserts. This could help figuring out auth cache size. + deliver: Added rejection_subject setting, which is used for rejected mails. + pop3: Prevent clients from looping forever trying to fetch an expunged message. + If login process crashes, log the IP address that (maybe) caused it. + If core dump limit is 0, add "core dumps disabled" to startup log line. + Log better messages for "Permission denied" errors - mbox: Fixed assert-crash with pop3_lock_session=yes - dbox: Fixes to handling maildir-converted files. - Auth cache wasn't working correctly for all fields (e.g. allow_nets) with blocking passdbs (e.g. mysql). - pgsql: Handle reconnecting to server without failing auth lookups. - Berkeley DB memory/resource leak fixes. - maildir: Fixes to handling over 26 keywords.

[Dovecot] Sieve regex match problem
by Andy Howell 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

I'm trying to make a regex to match common mailing list addresses and file messages to corresponding folders. I'm using sieve-test to try and understand what is happening. The sieve script is: require [ "fileinto", "regex", "variables" ]; if header :regex ["Sender"] ["(.*>[ \\t]*,?[ \\t]*)?([^-@]*)-([^-@]*)(-bounces)?@antlr.org"] { fileinto "${0} :: 1:${1} 2:${2} 3:${3} 4:${4} 5:${5} 6:${6} 7:${7}"; } The email contains: Sender: antlr-interest-bounces(a)antlr.org I'm trying to form a folder from the first two parts of the sender. In the real script, that will do a "fileto antlr.interest;" Running sieve-test, I get: * store message in folder: antlr-interest-bounces(a)antlr.org :: 1: 2:antlr 3: 4:interest 5: 6:-bounces 7: I don't understand why parts 3 and 5 are empty. From the regex grouping, I expected Part 2 "antlr" Part 3 "interest" Part 4 "-bounces" The regex groups break done as: 1: (.*>[ \\t]*,?[ \\t]*)? - match leading name, comma or spaces 2: ([^-@]*) - match first part: 'antlr' in his case - - Hyphen between parts 3: ([^-@]*) - match second part: interest in this case 4: (-bounces)? - When cc'd, -bounces part isn't used The same regex tested with perl works as I expected. Without the first group of the regex '(.*>[ \\t]*,?[ \\t]*)?', it works correctly. That group isn't getting matched anyway, so it shouldn't matter. This is with 1.2alpha5. What am I missing? Thanks, Andy

[Dovecot] Migration question: .INBOX?
by Peter Lindgren 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Hi, Not much left to fix in my migration script (moving between two dovecot servers). However, I discovered a mail folder .INBOX without cur, new and tmp subfolders, and the .imap.index files were rather old (feb 2006). Is this an old relic from early dovecot versions (I once ran 0.99 on this old server)? Or is it old client software? There are no data in it. TIA, Peter -- Peter Lindgren http://www.norrskenkonsult.com

[Dovecot] Intermittent "certificate cannot be verified" error
by Guy 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

Hi guys, Not sure where to start looking for this. I've got a few users getting intermittent "certificate cannot be verified" messages when connecting through SSL to Dovecot. Connections go through haproxy to Dovecot 1.1.8 on the back end servers. I've got verbose_ssl and auth_debug enabled. All I'm seeing on the logs for the time the users reported the error is this: Jan 21 23:30:51 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:30:51 mink dovecot: IMAP(user1(a)domain1.net): Disconnected in IDLE bytes=73/4235 Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=x.x.x.x, lip=x.x.x.x Jan 21 23:24:23 mink dovecot: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=28811 Jan 21 23:24:24 mink dovecot: IMAP(user2(a)domain1.net): Disconnected in IDLE bytes=89/920 Since it's so intermittent I'm not sure where to start. Since there are no real errors in the Dovecot logs I'm suspecting that haproxy is perhaps not routing every packet correctly leading to Dovecot not getting all the data needed for the connection. Are there any other possibilities I've missed?

[Dovecot] Courier->dovecot migration script
by Warren Baker 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

HI All, We have the latest Dovecot 1.1.6 running and I need to migrate some POP3 users over from Courier to Dovecot and would need to convert the courierpop3dsizelist to maintain the UIDs. I just need to confirm that the script (http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl) only works for Dovecot v1.0 and not for v1.1? As the dovecout-uidlist file that is created (by the script) is not in the same format as dovecot-uidlist file that is created by the 1.1.6 server. Thanks, Warren

Hello folks An Apple user here have troubles between Dovecot and its Apple mail client that presents ALL attachements inline inside emails instead of "Attachements" the problem occurs only when using IMAP , when using POP3 attachements appears as they are supposed to do. I would like to know if other Apple users in this list has experienced and solved that problem , the machine in running MacOS 10.5 Thanks a lot. -- Cordialement Frank Bonnet ESIEE Paris

[Dovecot] docecot managesieve global filter, service name
by Wolfgang.Friebel＠desy.de 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

I do have two questions related to the managesieve setup in dovecot 1) I did setup a global sieve filter, that is invoked if a user has no other sieve filter. If a user installs a sieve filter and activates it (PUTSCRIPT, SETACTIVE) then the sieve filter gets compiled (.sievec) and deliver does use it. If I want to deactivate the filter (SETACTIVE "") only the symlink (to the .sieve script) is removed, the .sievec file remains intact. On the other hand the dovecot documentation reads (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve) To stop using sieve, both the .sieve source file and the compiled .sievec file must be deleted How can I let a user switch between the globally installed sieve filter and an own filter. Activation seems to be ok, but deactivation would not result in the switch back to the global filter if I believe the docs. 2) To use the SASL authentication with managesieve the name of the service has to be given. In the managesieve RFC http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sieve-managesieve-09 I can read (page13): The service name specified by this protocol's profile of SASL is "sieve". On the other hand I can find in managesieve-0.10.4 in client-authenticate.c #define MANAGESIEVE_SERVICE_NAME "managesieve" The name is important for the Kerberos5 auth I am doing, as I have to provide a service key for managesieve.hostname@REALM instead of sieve.hostname@REALM. Currently I have adapted my auth to the "managesieve" service name but maybe that should be changed. My Installation: dovecot 1.1.8 patched for dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.4 Authentication using SASL (GSSAPI), contained in the perl Module Net::ManageSieve on CPAN. -- Wolfgang Friebel Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY Phone/Fax: +49 33762 77372/216 Platanenallee 6 Mail: Wolfgang.Friebel AT desy.de D-15738 Zeuthen Germany

[Dovecot] Questions regarding Dovecot's POP3 implementation
by Dale Gallagher 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi all I'm considering moving over my POP3 service from qmail-pop3d to Dovecot for the following reasons: - Support for Maildir++ which I have yet to implement - Already using Dovecot for IMAP, so makes sense i.t.o Maildir++ - Support for SQL based user authentication My primary concerns are performance and security. Before I go down that route of migrating away from qmail-pop3d, I'd appreciate some answers and feedback on the following. There is mention of the Maildir filename extension W= for virtual file size here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/POP3Server However, I can't find any MDAs which support writing the filename in this format. Maildrop seems to support S= only? If Dovecot is only able to read W= in the filename, I would imagine that it might make sense to have an MDA like Maildrop write the message to disk, replacing all LF with CR+LF and finally write the filename with identical S= and W= filename extensions included? Example: Maildrop replaces all LFs with CR+LF in incoming message. Maildrop writes message as: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1000 (where 1000 is the file's RFC822.SIZE) Then Dovecot doesn't have to calculate virtual message sizes. I've also found this thread: http://markmail.org/message/oznf2f7m7hvsxqn6 ... which suggests changing mail_get_virtual_size to mail_get_physical_size in src/pop3/client.c Would this read the size from S=, or do a stat()? 5. Does anyone use Dovecot pop3 service on thousands of mailboxes and if so, what specific tweaks / setup do you use? Thanks Dale

[Dovecot] deliver rejection bounces

Is there any reason not to make (for v1.2) 1) deliver -e behavior the defaut? 2) not even provide the option for the current default (have deliver send bounces itself)? The only reason it even works like it does currently is because I just mostly copied what Cyrus did.

[Dovecot] Active Directory authentication

Hello all I would like to ask if there is adequate mechanism to authenticate users through POP3 against Active Directory by Outlook Express so that users will authenticate seamlessly using logon credentials. I have implemented LDAP authentication but users must supply their credentials to Outlook Express although they have logged on to Windows (AD). the ntlm auth in Dovecot 1.1 (windind) satisies this requirement (no credentials in Outlook)? thanks Dimitrios

[Dovecot] Move from 1.0.rc29 to 1.1.7?
by Peter Lindgren 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hello! I am moving my mail from the old server with 1.0.rc29 to a brand new server with 1.1.7. I use Maildir in both servers. A few questions: 1) The new server has another name, can I just copy the mail files as-is, will the server name in the file names matter? 2) The new server has a different architecture and different endian, so I plan not to copy the index and cache files; they seem to have become broken from time to time in the old server anyway. Dovecot will also re-create them when needed. Ok? 3) 1.0.rc29 did not store the message size in the file name as later versions. When will Dovecot do the check and rename the files to include the message size? There are some folders with quite large number of messages, the largest is some 45,000 messages. TIA, /Peter -- Peter Lindgren http://www.norrskenkonsult.com

[Dovecot] Dovecot optimisation
by Proskurin Kirill 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hello all. We start to use Dovecot at our email production but it runs not such fast as we expect. We use Dell 2950 with 4GbRAM at FreeBSD-7.0-p9 - load avarage never upper a 0.5 We have about 500 clients most of it use Outlook 2007 via IMAP. We run in this problems: 1) Sync of imap folder is really slow(I think it is Outlook problem) 2) Time after time we got Sync error from outlook 3) Time after time our monitoring system says what IMAP port not answer in 10 sec. In real life it start to answer in 15-20 sec what is not really good - client thinks what server don`t work. If I restart dovecot - it start to answer in 1-3 sec. I think problem in my conf, may be I need tune it? *dovecot -n don`t give full conf so i use this:* mail# grep -v '#' /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf | egrep -v '^$' base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve listen = * disable_plaintext_auth = yes shutdown_clients = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log log_timestamp = "%b %d %H:%M:%S " syslog_facility = mail ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /usr/local/etc/certs/fxclub_org.crt ssl_key_file = /usr/local/etc/certs/fxclub_org.key ssl_ca_file = /usr/local/etc/certs/GlobalSignCA.crt ssl_verify_client_cert = no ssl_parameters_regenerate = 168 ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2 verbose_ssl = no login_dir = /var/run/dovecot/login login_user = dovecot login_process_size = 64 login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 10 login_max_processes_count = 128 login_greeting = Dovecot ready. login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l %c login_log_format = %$: %s mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/dovecot/domains/%d/%n/ mail_uid = dmail mail_gid = dmail mail_privileged_group = mail mail_full_filesystem_access = no mail_debug = no mail_log_prefix = "%Us(%u): " mail_log_max_lines_per_sec = 10 mmap_disable = no dotlock_use_excl = yes fsync_disable = no mail_nfs_storage = no mail_nfs_index = no lock_method = fcntl mail_drop_priv_before_exec = no verbose_proctitle = yes first_valid_uid = 500 first_valid_gid = 0 max_mail_processes = 512 mail_process_size = 256 mail_max_keyword_length = 50 mail_cache_min_mail_count = 0 mailbox_idle_check_interval = 30 mail_save_crlf = no maildir_stat_dirs = no maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename = no mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl mbox_lock_timeout = 300 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 120 mbox_min_index_size = 0 protocol imap { login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap imap_max_line_length = 65536 mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota autocreate mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap login_greeting_capability = yes imap_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep } protocol pop3 { login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 pop3_enable_last = no pop3_lock_session = no pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv pop3_logout_format = top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s mail_max_userip_connections = 3 mail_plugins = quota mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)fxclub.org hostname = mail.fxclub.org mail_plugins = cmusieve quota mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda quota_full_tempfail = yes deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$ log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliver.log sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master sieve_global_path = /var/spool/dovecot/global.sieve } protocol managesieve { listen = *:2000 login_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/managesieve managesieve_max_line_length = 65536 sieve_storage = % sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve mail_location = managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot } auth_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth auth_process_size = 256 auth_cache_size = 0 auth_cache_ttl = 3600 auth_cache_negative_ttl = 3600 auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@ auth_username_format = %Lu auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = no auth_debug_passwords = no auth_worker_max_count = 100 auth_failure_delay = 2 auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb ldap { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } userdb ldap { args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } user = dovecot-auth count = 1 ssl_require_client_cert = no socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = dmail } client { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0660 user = exim } } } dict { } plugin { quota = maildir quota_rule = *:storage=1024M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=1256M quota_rule3 = SPAM:ignore quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Sent autocreate3 = Spam autosubscribe = Trash autosubscribe2 = Sent autosubscribe3 = Spam } -- Best regards, Proskurin Kirill

Hi, Is is possible to redirect temp email files to another folder like /tmp or somewhere else, instead of having it in the same /var/spool where the mbox is?

[Dovecot] Errmsgs b4 and after migration DC V1.0.15 to V1.1.8
by Stewart Dean 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Last Wednesday at 12:21 I made this switch, which seemed to be uneventful. In any case, no user has reported problems since the migration. Not content to leave well enough alone, this morning I scanned the syslog and maillog for dovecot related errors. What I found was that: Before the Migration=========================== I saw a lot of SSL errors that look like this: > Jan 14 11:49:23 mercury mail:warn|warning dovecot: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer [69.180.200.184] > Jan 14 11:52:28 mercury mail:warn|warning dovecot: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer [68.6.82.45] Which l took to be breakin attempts of some sort, except that I haven't seen any since the migration! After the migration==================================== I see errors like this: > Jan 14 12:21:45 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(eg115): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/eg115/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 1934 > Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(alexande): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/alexande/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 132641 > Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(ls454): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/ls454/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 47 > Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(tr489): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/tr489/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 1 > Jan 14 12:21:54 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(bh265): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/bh265/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 2 > Jan 14 12:22:01 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(crouch): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/crouch/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 4863 > It appears that this error appears the first time a folder is referenced, then not again (I think but am not absolutely positive). Did the indexing method/format change in some way that would cause this (and Dovecot heals itself!) ? Is there any continuing problem inherent in this that needs to be dealt with?

Hello again, I have a coding question again: I can obtain the path of the current user's mailbox with the function mail_storage_get_mailbox_path(...) - so far so good. But is it possible to get this mailbox path for another user than the logged in one? Thanks in advance. Best regards.

Hi i want to migrate from dbmail to dovecot, the main problem is passwords. dbmail uses "md5-hash" wich crypt "111" to "$1$tZNR7pR4$jMuuKWm7ljRyL8iEMfjep.". Tried all dovecot pass schemes thru `dovecotpw` and no one matches. The main question is how to migrate dbmail -> dovecot.

[Dovecot] "userdb didn't return a home directory" with v1.1.7
by Ivars Strazdiņš 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi all, I am running Dovecot v1.1.7 in a relatively quiet and calm environment. Suddenly overnight cron job started throwing out errors like: /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool Error: userdb(user1(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Error: userdb(user2(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Indeed, running this command produces: ------------------------- $ sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/lib/dovecot/expire-tool --test Error: userdb(user1(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Info: User lookup failed: user1(a)mail.example Error: userdb(user2(a)mail.example) didn't return a home directory Info: User lookup failed: user2(a)mail.example ------------------------- Yet these mailboxes are valid, corresponding users can login, send and receive mail. Other mailboxes are OK, too. Where to to start looking? I found that similar error message with v1.1.6 is fixed in v1.1.7, but I am running v.1.1.7 already. Please see dovecot configuration attached. Thank you for your time, Ivars

[Dovecot] checkpassword auth issues
by Tim Traver 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Hi, ok, I'm am developing a new solution that includes dovecot, and will be wanting to use the latest sieve implementation, so I have chosen to start with 1.2 as the base. I had a working install of 1.1.8 installed, and got a checkpassword setup working properly with it to authenticate a user. I used the passdb to call checkpassword, and the prefetch userdb to tell it to use the values that I sent back from the checkpassword script... I compiled and installed 1.2.alpha5, and now my checkpassword does not seem to be working, and I can't figure out why. If I go back and install 1.1.8, it all works again... here is the dovecot -n : [root@mta3 /local/logs]# dovecot -n # 1.2.alpha5: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE i386 log_path: /local/logs/dovecot.errors protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 100 mail_uid: 100 mail_gid: 100 mail_location: maildir:%h/Maildir mail_debug: yes mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_storage: yes mail_nfs_index: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: username_translation: %@ username_format: %Lu verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: checkpassword args: /bin/checkpassword userdb: driver: prefetch and here is a snip of the logs that I get when trying to log in : dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=imap secured lip=209.132.1.203 rip=209.132.9.162 lport=993 rport=1053 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): client in: CONT 1 AHRpbUBtdGEzLnNjYWxlZHN5c3RlbXMuY29tAENvbGRTdW4x dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): execute: /bin/checkpassword /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/checkpassword-reply dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): Received input: user=tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com userdb_home=/home/mailboxes/data/30/tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com userdb_uid=100 userdb_gid=100 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): Received no input dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Info: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): exit_status=2 dovecot: Jan 19 11:37:47 Error: auth(default): checkpassword(tim(a)mta3.scaledsystems.com,209.132.9.162): Child 43345 exited with status 2 As you can see, the checkpassword routine is indeed sending outthe userdb_home variable as well as the other necessary variables. Is it possible that checks for the return code from calling the checkpassword script have changed between the versions??? I currently exit the checkpassword script with _exit(0); to make the status 0 when it is successful, and I also set the AUTHORIZED environment variable to "2" as told... wierd thing is that it works in 1.1.8, but not in 1.2 Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] Reject message if user is over quota. 2/3 solution for Postfix w/ PostgreSQL
by Pascal Volk 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi, according to the both discussions in the last few days I've tried to find a solution for Postfix with a PostgreSQL back-end. Its working nice for regular recipient addresses like user(a)example.com and addresses with an extension like user+foo(a)example.com. Alias addresses are currently ignored. * An alias may expand into multiple destinations. If one of this destinations is over quota Postfix will expose the destination address from the alias * An alias address may point to an external destination. * Aliases, with just one internal destination maybe simple to expand (homework ;-)) Maybe someone of you would provide ideas for handling alias addresses. The procedure is designed for global quota settings. If one of you is using quota settings per user, you have to modify the procedure. Integrating in main.cf: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = ... reject_unlisted_recipient check_recipient_access pgsql:/etc/postfix/virtual_global_quota_check.cf ... virtual_global_quota_check.cf: # The hosts that Postfix will try to connect to hosts = localhost # The user name and password to log into the pgsql server. user = $Your_Postfix_database_user password = $PASSWORD # The database name on the servers. dbname = mailsys # The query query = SELECT postfix_global_quota_check('%u', '%d', 10485760, 1000) # quota limit in bytes ----------------------------^ # quota limit in messages -----------------------------------^ SQL: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION postfix_global_quota_check( IN localpart varchar, IN the_domain varchar, IN q_stor bigint, IN q_msgs bigint) RETURNS TEXT AS $$ DECLARE result text := 'DUNNO'; -- remove extenstion from localpart (user+foo -> user) lpart varchar := (SELECT regexp_replace(localpart, E'\\+.*$', '')); -- XXX how to handle alias addresses? -- stop here if the destination is an external address -- how to handle aliases with multiple destinations??? address varchar := lpart||'@'||the_domain; storage bigint := (SELECT current FROM quota WHERE username = address AND path = 'quota/storage'); messages bigint := (SELECT current FROM quota WHERE username = address AND path = 'quota/messages'); BEGIN --RAISE NOTICE 'users storage: % bytes', storage; --RAISE NOTICE 'users message count: %', messages; IF storage >= q_stor THEN result := '552 5.2.2 Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)'; ELSE IF messages >= q_msgs THEN result := '552 5.2.2 Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)'; END IF; END IF; RETURN result; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql STABLE RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT EXTERNAL SECURITY INVOKER; GRANT SELECT ON quota TO $Your_Postfix_database_user; Regards, Pascal -- Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning “I can’t install Debian.” -- unknown

Here it is: cat dovecot-uidlist 3 V1207893082 N522 519 :1231251810.M890065P5870.SERVER,W=2188,S=2124:2,DS 520 :1231750443.M221593P17335.SERVER,W=2260,S=2211:2,S 522 :1231773105.M510336P24592.SERVER,W=2278,S=2229:2,S 523 :1231773105.M510337P24592.SERVER,W=2280,S=2231:2,S 524 :1231773105.M510338P24592.SERVER,W=2280,S=2231:2,S 525 :1231773105.M510339P24592.SERVER,W=2280,S=2231:2,S 526 :1231773602.M637982P25701.SERVER,W=2471,S=2430:2,S 527 :1231773643.M934651P25801.SERVER,S=778:2,DS 528 :1231773649.M494756P25829.SERVER,S=701:2,DS 529 :1231848752.M95696P23657.SERVER,W=2289,S=2238:2,S 530 :1231848752.M95697P23657.SERVER,W=2289,S=2238:2,S 531 :1231848752.M95698P23657.SERVER,W=2236,S=2187:2,S 532 :1231848752.M95699P23657.SERVER,W=2254,S=2205:2,S 533 :1231848752.M95700P23657.SERVER,W=2280,S=2231:2,S 534 :1231947345.M166356P31040.SERVER,W=14351593,S=14167572:2,S 535 :1231947618.M714791P31657.SERVER,W=14420039,S=14235124:2,S 536 :1231947618.M714792P31657.SERVER,W=3718,S=3638:2,S 537 :1231947618.M714793P31657.SERVER,W=43049465,S=42497522:2,S 538 :1231947618.M714794P31657.SERVER,W=43049475,S=42497531:2,S 539 :1231947618.M714795P31657.SERVER,W=43049475,S=42497531:2,S 540 :1232010788.M924208P9848.SERVER,W=43050148,S=42498189 I read the documentation on http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir?highlight=(UIDVALIDITY) Now I see, that the next UID in dovecot-uidlist is here 522 but the last UID is 540. So I don't know why the dovecot-uidlist is incorrect. Thanks for comments... STEPHAN

[Dovecot] Autocreate plugin
by Proskurin Kirill 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hello. I found what if you have a something like this: autocreate = Trash autocreate2 = Sent autocreate3 = Spam *Then I delete autocreate2 string* and... autocreate3 will not work. If I add autocreate2 - all work well. Yes it is seems to be right what they all must go after each otherm but if i have a 20 or 30 autocreate folders and i want to delete autocreate2 for example - all other from 3-20 will not work. For me it is seems like a bug. I think better to remove numbers from this plugin at all. -- Best regards, Proskurin Kirill

[Dovecot] autocreate "bug" with 1.2 solved
by Robert Schetterer 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Hi Timo i found "the bug" with autocreate in dovecot 1.2 last weeks i tested a lot with namespaces i finally declared shared namespace before private namespace in dovecot.conf by doing a lot of copy paste namespace test variants getting autocreate to work i finally copied my private namespace declaration above the shared namespace in dovecot.conf and now its working. So it simple autocreate parses the dovecot.conf from begin and uses the first namespace found in dovecot.conf , if that namespace doesnt match its going do log namespace not found in the log and stop working so its by design ,not really a bug , but it should dokumented elsewhere if you wont fix that behavior in the future -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] Default mbox file ownership and permissions with static userdb
by Christian Kreibich 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hi there! I'm using Dovecot 1.1.7 in a simple setup with a static userdb: userdb: driver: static args: uid=50018 gid=50019 home=/home/dovemail When my users create folders via IMAP, the ownership of the mbox file is user dovemail, group dovemail, and permissions are 600. I'd like this to change to user dovemail, group doveusers, permissions 660, but I can't figure out a way to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. -- Cheers, Christian

[Dovecot] Possible Bug segnalation
by Claudio Prono 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

Hi to all, Today i have manually copied at least 250 mail from a mailbox to another and i have encountered some problems with dovecot. When finished to download all the messages, via pop3, at the next check mail dovecot give me that error: dovecot: Jan 15 10:59:55 Info: POP3(michele(a)domain.net): Mailbox init failed top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/29, size=932800 Then, the messages from the pop server was deleted, to the client an error was given but no mail downloaded. I have resolved that deleting all the dovecot files into the mailbox, so: dovecot-uidlist dovecot.index dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log Then, all restarted to works normally, but...the most bad thing is... the lost mails!

[Dovecot] 1.1.9 release candidate
by Timo Sirainen 18 Jan '09

18 Jan '09

http://dovecot.org/tmp/dovecot-1.1.9.rc.tar.gz There are a couple of a bit larger changes, so would be nice if a few people tested this on different setups before I released the final v1.1.9. Changes since v1.1.8: + deliver: Added rejection_subject setting, which is used for rejected mails. + pop3: Prevent clients from looping forever trying to fetch an expunged message. + If login process crashes, log the IP address that (maybe) caused it. + If core dump limit is 0, add "core dumps disabled" to startup log line. - mbox: Fixed assert-crash with pop3_lock_session=yes - dbox: Fixes to handling maildir-converted files. - Auth cache wasn't working correctly for all fields (e.g. allow_nets) with blocking passdbs (e.g. mysql). - pgsql: Handle reconnecting to server without failing auth lookups. - Berkeley DB memory/resource leak fixes. - maildir: Fixes to handling over 26 keywords.

Ah, ok. I think blackberry is an exception here. But actually you can disable IDLE by changing imap_capability setting manually. Set it to the default CAPABILITY reply you get from Dovecot, just remove IDLE.

Hi Timo! I wrote a little patch to add the capability of the deliver to customize the "subject" of the rejection messages. Now is possibly to translate the body and subject! In dovecot.conf: rejection_reason_subject = Automatically rejected mail to %t rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r Please, review the patch! :D

[Dovecot] Enforcing STARTTLS for all mechs while disabling imaps
by Durk Strooisma 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Hi all, Is there a way to enforce STARTTLS for all connections, regardless their authentication mechanism? disable_plaintext_auth only takes care of the auth conversation, but I would like to have all communication encrypted. As far as I can see, this would only be possible when using imaps and disabling imap. However, I would like to have the other way around; disabling imaps and using imap for all communication (with enforced STARTTLS). Am I missing something? Durk

[Dovecot] [dovecot] INDEX variable and mbox_snarf plugin
by Jonathan Siegle 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Is there a way to tell the dovecot mbox_snarf plugin to use an alternate location for the index/cache files? It doesn't seem to want to use the INDEX variable. I'm guessing the answer is no because of all the ties in lib-storage/index/mbox/*c to the directory where the file(that is the inbox) lives. The filesystem where I keep the inbox file doesn't have a directory for the user to own. The user only owns the mbox file. Thanks, Jonathan

[Dovecot] Fatal: Plugin sieve_plugin not found from directory
by John Morris 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hi list, Enabling plugins returns fatal errors like the following: Jan 16 00:28:11 norman dovecot: deliver(jman(a)zultron.com): Fatal: Plugin sieve_plugin not found from directory /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda Same errors for loading plugins in the "protocol imap" section of dovecot.conf (tested trash_plugin), same errors for loading other plugins (tested virtual_plugin), same errors for different spellings of "mail_plugins" (lib90_sieve_plugin.so, sieve_plugin.so, sieve_plugin). The directory must be correct, because if lib90_sieve_plugin.so is copied to sieve_plugin.so: Jan 16 00:33:16 norman dovecot: deliver(jman(a)zultron.com): Fatal: Multiple files for module sieve_plugin: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so, /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda/sieve_plugin.so Invoking the deliver process with strace showed /usr/lib64/dovecot/lda being opened, fstated, and getdents returned the expected results, including {d_ino=67593, d_off=608760247, d_reclen=40, d_name="lib90_sieve_plugin.so"} After this, the plugin (nor any other file, aside from /etc/localtime) was not opened, the above error was sent, and deliver exited. The RPM was recompiled for CentOS 5.1 from an ArkLinux Dovecot 1.2 SRPM; the specfile appears to be of the same lineage as the Rawhide Dovecot 1.1 SRPM, and it's quite straightforward. I did add the ManageSieve patch to it, and otherwise no noteworthy changes. Others on the list who had this problem usually suffered from misspellings in mail_plugins or incorrect mail_plugin_dir; the "multiple files" error seems to eliminate this as a possibility. One other fellow had this problem, and fixed it with a recompile; however, since this is an SRPM, there's not much room for random changes in the process, and recompiling didn't fix the problem. Without dovecot plugins enabled, dovecot and deliver are working well in a postfix/LDAP/virtual domains configuration. Below is the dovecot -n output.

[Dovecot] get username of logged in user
by Stefan Jurisch 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Hello, can I anywhere get the name of the currently logged in user? I'm still implementing a custom ACL plugin (IMAP commands MYRIGHTS, GETACL, SETACL, DELETEACL), and for some functions (for example storing the current folder's ACL in combination with this username) I need to obtain the currently logged in IMAP user. Is this possible? If yes - how? Thanks in advance.

[Dovecot] ImapTest Wiki
by Justin Krejci 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

On this page http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest/Running It gives command line parameters to define. One of them is "password=pass" but this resulted in an "Unknown arg" response for me on a fresh install. I then looked at some examples and they give the argument as "pass=pass" which works for me. Was the argument name changed recently or something?

[Dovecot] Personal dovecot
by Andrzej Adam Filip 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Do you think it wold be worthwhile to add command line options to "deliver" and "imap" to make them ignore "system wide" configuration file and use ~/.dovecotrc instead? I would like to use "imap via fetchmail ssh plugin" and "deliver via ~/.forward (to get sieve support)". Such options would allow "cleaner" configuration. -- [pl>en: Andrew] Andrzej Adam Filip : anfi(a)onet.eu : anfi(a)xl.wp.pl Nice boy, but about as sharp as a sack of wet mice. -- Foghorn Leghorn

[Dovecot] ldap performance?
by Jan-Frode Myklebust 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

We're looking at replacing our mysql auth and userdb, with a set of Red Hat Directory servers, and I see dovecot supports either authentication binds, or "password lookups": http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP I'm curious if anybody can give any insight as to what kind of performance to expect from authentication binds ? How many POP3s/second should we expect from it ? Our directory servers will be 2 blades with 4 cores of 2GHz each, and we expect to keep the full directory in memory on both servers. -jf

[Dovecot] Apple patch 9
by Mike Abbott 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

Patch #9 adds support for Open Directory and an encrypted SSL keystore. Notes about this patch: It adds --enable-apple and --with-od options to configure (after running autoconf). It depends on patch #7 (hash_table_create/destroy). Automake wipes out this patch's changes to Makefile.in. The - framework options should come from Makefile.am but the author didn't do that. It uses a tab-stops-every-4 indentation style. It may compile and run only on Mac OS X 10.6, currently available via Apple Developer Connection. This code is stable but Apple is still verifying its robustness. This is the patch that needs the user name as extra_fields[0] in deliver, to handle user name aliases. More patches to come, probably after the holidays.

[Dovecot] Maildir++ quota: When is it recalculated?
by Ulrich Zehl 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

We use Maildir++ quota, with the rules taken from our LDAP backend. We also have an old expunge script that's not quota-aware; it removes old messages from the maildir by simply deleting the files. Sometimes, a mailbox is over quota before the script runs, but well under quota after the old messages are deleted. This change does not seem to be picked up, however: When I try to deliver a new message (using Dovecot's deliver), the attempt fails with an "over quota" error. I tried finding out from the source code whether this is intended behavior, but unfortunately, I'm not enough of a programmer, so I have to ask here: Should I be able to delete mails from a maildir, and expect the quota plugin to notice the change? We use Dovecot 1.1.8, by the way. Ulrich

[Dovecot] Maildir loses keywords in index beyond 26
by George Greer 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

(NOTE: I am not on the mailing list so please Cc: me.) dovecot-1.1.6-2.fc10.i386 (configuration not changed from stock) Fedora 10 AMD Athlon XP ext3 Maildir format doesn't store keywords in the index properly -- it goes up to 26 and then further keywords are dropped. I ran the tests with a simple script that feeds the lines from "commands" to Dovecot one at a time and waits for the "OK" before the next one. The IMAP command file is attached, as well as output of dovecot, idxview, and logview running against both mbox and maildir formats. Test mailbox created with: for i in `seq -f %02g 0 99`; do echo "Test message #$i" | mail -s "Test message #$i" sandbox@localhost; sleep 1; done For the maildir test I used the conversion script: Step 2: su sandbox -c 'perl /usr/share/doc/dovecot-1.1.6/UW-to-Dovecot-Migration/perfect_maildir.pl ~/Maildir < /var/spool/mail/sandbox' # 1.1.6: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 i686 Fedora release 10 (Cambridge) login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd -- George Greer

[Dovecot] linuxconf migration story
by Thanos Chatziathanassiou 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi, just subscribed after successfully (?) migrating from a somewhat old linuxconf/vimap config. dovecot-1.1.7, x86 A few issues: The index files seem to be created with the wrong permissions. I get numerous ``Dec 24 15:36:29 mail dovecot: POP3(user@domain): stat(/var/run/dovecot/imap-index/domain/user/.imap/INBOX) failed: Permission denied (euid=60107 egid=231 missing +x perm: /var/run/dovecot/imap-index/domain)'' errors. the directory /var/run/dovecot/imap-index is drwxrwxrwt 29 dovecot dovecot 4.0k Dec 24 15:57 imap-index but the directories inside it are created as drwx------ 15 60107 popusers 4.0k Dec 24 15:50 domain Questions: - Why is POP3 interested in the imap indices ? - IMAP clients do not complain all that much, as far as I can see, but what happens to POP3 ? - Is there something to configure to get rid of this ? Also, I have written a somewhat sloppy patch to determine the domain from the server's IP. That way it is not necessary to persuade all users to switch to logging in as ``user@domain'' (which I've tried with very limited success). Would this be the correct place to post the patch and discuss ? Best Regards, Thanos Chatziathanassiou

[Dovecot] Apple patch 10
by Mike Abbott 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Patch #10 allows the pop3 and imap mail processes to handle multiple clients. We know this weakens the security model but it greatly increases scalability especially when clients are idle. Here's how it works. When there are no mail processes, or none serving fewer than mail_max_connections clients, the master creates a new mail process pretty much like it does now, but with some new environment variables (PERSISTENT_MAIL_PROCESS and CONNECTION_ID, and ADVISE_SET[GU]ID instead of RESTRICT_SET[GU]ID) and a unix-domain socket connection back to the master. For future clients the master sends the client socket and a full dump of the environment via that connection. Persistent mail processes multiplex I/O for their connected clients and switch the whole environment and the effective user ID, group ID, and supplemental groups each time. The result is that most of dovecot's code and assumptions remain unchanged: the mail process executes imap/pop commands with the permissions of the user and with nearly the same environment so getenv() still works as expected. Some assumptions do change, for instance global state variables like last_partial and quota_set are forbidden, and must be stored per-client or per-user. Also it's no longer OK just to exit or panic on error, for that disconnects multiple users not just one. Some key entry points in the patch are create_mail_process() in mail- process.c and io_env_switch() in ioloop.c. Notes about this patch: - The base for this patch is dovecot-1.1.7 + Apple patch 9, not because this patch needs Open Directory but simply because it adds one line to the Apple attributions in COPYING. - This patch depends on Apple patch 7 (hash_table_create/destroy). - This patch introduces the following new config options for the pop3 and imap protocols: - mail_process_per_connection = yes - mail_max_connections = 20 The default value of mail_process_per_connection (yes) preserves the current secure model. Changing it to no allows multiplexing, with up to mail_max_connections simultaneous clients per process. See dovecot- example.conf for more info. - It restricts the mail_executable config option to minimize unpleasant surprises. When mail_process_per_connection = no the communication protocol between the master process and the mail processes changes as described above. A naive third-party mail_executable might break. See dovecot-example.conf for more info. - Some changes are intentionally awkward in order to minimize code deltas to simplify merges (of new dovecot releases into our source tree). These are so marked. Feel free to clean them up. - Changes tagged with "APPLE" are ours, including the whole new directory mail-common. All the untagged changes, including the entire contents of the new files mail-user.[ch], are copied straight from dovecot-1.2 (alpha3, I believe). We needed dovecot-1.2's support for multiple users in order to handle quotas correctly, and we needed it in 1.1. Specifically, we copied these changes from dovecot-1.2 (and a couple others too I think): 8082 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/db66611fd195 Added struct mail_user and fixed the code to support multiple users per process. 8084 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/f12f8c1da0bf Forgot to add mail-user.* files in previous struct mail_user commit. 8085 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/bf83aa9c3f4a Removed pool parameter from mail_namespaces_init*(). Use mail_user's pool intead. 8091 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/ceca59aaae89 quota-fs: compile fix for previous changes. 8096 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/f35a8a3dc06d Fixed FS quota compiling and Maildir++ quota with multiple users. 8109 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/e7929190cd32 fts-solr: Fixed compiling with recent struct mail_user changes. 8137 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/b2a258213ee0 Created mail_user_[try_]home_expand(). Used them for expanding mail directories. 8294 http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/8aa69e3d27ef Trash plugin: Assign storage to all mailboxes at startup so errors are caught immediately. Also previous optimization change broke trash plugin when using multiple mail_users. This change fixes it to work again. If a change in the patch is not marked somehow with APPLE then it comes from dovecot-1.2. - Some other data structures also needed to be made per-client/user, for instance last_partial from imap-fetch-body.c, quota_set from quota- plugin.c, and process_primary_gid etc. from restrict-access.c. - Sending the master process SIGINFO (on platforms that support that signal) makes it print its view of all the clients connected to all the mail processes. Sending SIGINFO to an individual mail process makes it print its view. These are not necessarily always the same. For instance, on a config reload (SIGHUP), the master disconnects from the mail processes but leaves them running. The output is admittedly kinda geeky. - The logging tag for a persistent mail process is just "*" instead of the user name, since a process can serve multiple users. Some individual messages (such as connect/disconnect) identify the user. - The expire plugin uses global state variables which are incompatible with persistent mail processes. The patch detects trouble but does not fix it because we don't need it. We leave that as an exercise for you :). - The dict client interface is blocking which is unfortunate for persistent mail processes. The patch does not address this, since the delay is probably small and we don't use it anyway. - Some of the accounting is gnarly because of the need to honor mail_max_userip_connections in a world where a single user can have any number of active connections on any number of mail processes. Finally, here's the patch.

Dovecot 1.1.7 is running so smoothly that I gave up checking its log files daily. :) I've just had a look, and among the usual "IMAP(username): FETCH for mailbox Sent UID xx got too little data: xx vs

Re: [Dovecot] Can not Create Maildir using userdb

Thank you for your reply.

[Dovecot] Dovecot suggestions for new installation
by Michael Durket 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

I've been testing Dovecot for a while now and am preparing to replace our outdated IMAP system with it. The current system serves about 300 email users who run a mixture of clients (Eudora, Apple Mail, Thunderbird and Outlook). Can any of the many experts on this list answer a few questions: 1) What's the latest stable release of Dovecot I should be running on this new system (Dovecot will be running on a RedHat Linux AS 4 64 bit system with plenty of memory and CPU). I've been running 1.13 on my test system but I see that 1.18 just came out (although I don't know if I should switch to it immediately. 2) What configuration file options (if any) should I turn on to best handle the range of email clients listed above? 3) Are there any "sizing" options I need to worry about setting for the number of email users I have (I suspect that 300 users is considered a rather small mail system but I want to minimize its resource usage as much as possible while still giving decent performance from Dovecot). And, just out of curiosity, I'm looking into the idea of switching users from mbox format over to Maildir format on this system (it will use all locally- connected disks and have no NFS mounts). Does the Dovecot automatic migration program to migrate from mbox to Maildir work well or are there "gotchas"? Thanks.

[Dovecot] [checkpassword] I can't get a password from fd3
by Durk Strooisma 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi all, I'm trying to implement checkpassword authentication with a simple bash script. In some way I can't get the password from file descriptor 3. The start of script looks like this: #!/bin/bash read -d '\0' -r -u 3 USERNAME="${REPLY}" read -d '\0' -r -u 3 PASSWORD="${REPLY}" if [ -z "${USERNAME}" ] || [ -z "${PASSWORD}" ] then exit 111 fi It always exits with 111, because PASSWORD is empty. In whatever way I try to retrieve data from fd3, I never happen to get more data than the username. Is this a known problem? Am I doing something silly? Replies are much appreciated! Durk FYI: GSSAPI auth works perfect and PAM worked before switching to checkpassword too.
