<-FIN <-RST ->FIN,ACK <-RST on SSL connection shutdown
by Heiko Schlittermann 09 Nov '16

Hello, a typical connection close, tcpdump'ed on the server side, looks as follows: 21:44:01.168131 IP xxx.xxx.3.101.143 > xxx.xxx.3.96.35518: Flags [FP.], seq 3982457856:3982457959, ack 1570044906, win 243, options [nop,nop,TS val 138698279 ecr 159494908], length 103 21:44:01.172405 IP xxx.xxx.3.101.143 > xxx.xxx.3.96.35518: Flags [R], seq 3982457960, win 0, length 0 21:44:01.172442 IP xxx.xxx.3.96.35518 > xxx.xxx.3.101.143: Flags [F.], seq 32, ack 104, win 342, options [nop,nop,TS val 159494909 ecr 138698279], length 0 21:44:01.172471 IP xxx.xxx.3.101.143 > xxx.xxx.3.96.35518: Flags [R], seq 3982457960, win 0, length 0 The server closes (FIN) the connection, and already 4.274 ms later the server sends a RST to the client. The clients response to FIN arrives some μs later. (On the client side the order of the packages is different (FIN from Server, FIN,ACK from client, RST from Server, RST from Server) This behaviour seems to be odd (the client side firewall complains about the unexpected packages). I can reproduce it using openssl -connect … -starttls imap .. on the client side. It happens on IMAP+STARTTLS as well as on IMAPS. It does not happen on plaintext IMAP. There I see the expected shudown handshake FIN - FIN,ACK - ACK. Dovecot version is 2.2.24 (a82c823) Best regards from Dresden/Germany Viele Grüße aus Dresden Heiko Schlittermann -- SCHLITTERMANN.de ---------------------------- internet & unix support - Heiko Schlittermann, Dipl.-Ing.

Backing up dovecot mailboxes
by Jerry 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Does anyone have a working solution as to how I can use "doveadm backup" to back up a virtual users mailbox to a removable USB device. I keep receiving numerous errors and no files are backed up although the directories are created. -- Jerry

Too many references: cannot splice
by Luis Ugalde 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Hi, A while ago I sent an email regarding these "*ETOOMANYREFS* Too many references: cannot splice." that we've seen since Debian updated the Jessie kernel to 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3 (2016-01-17) x86_64 while older kernels, like 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u6 (2015-11-09) x86_64 showed no errors at all. I was wondering if no one else is getting these errors, or if you know any workarounds that might probe useful, apart from downgrading the kernel. I would say that the infrastructure we're running is quite standard, with directors balancing users to NFS backed dovecot servers. Best regards, Luis Ugalde.

wiki: Plugins/Virtual: SQL error?
by Larry Rosenman 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Is one of these supposed to be imap? Note that none of the namespaces have inbox=yes. This is because for IMAP users you want the inbox namespace to have inbox=yes, but for POP3 users you want the virtual namespace to have inbox=yes. This requires setting the inbox=yes in userdb extra fields <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields>. For example with MySQL you can can do this like: user_query = SELECT ..., \ CASE '%s' WHEN 'pop3' THEN NULL ELSE 'yes' END AS 'namespace/inbox/inbox', \ CASE '%s' WHEN 'pop3' THEN 'yes' ELSE NULL END AS 'namespace/virtual/inbox' \ WHERE ... -- Larry Rosenman http://www.lerctr.org/~ler Phone: +1 214-642-9640 (c) E-Mail: larryrtx(a)gmail.com US Mail: 17716 Limpia Crk, Round Rock, TX 78664-7281

Pigeonhole/sieve possibly corrupting mails
by Ladislav Laska 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Hi! I'm here again with a problem. I'm using dovecot as an IMAP server and LDA, filtering mail via sieve. However, few times a day I get the following error on server and my client (mutt) gets disconnected. Oct 15 20:20:29 ibex dovecot: imap(krakonos): Error: Corrupted index cache file /home/krakonos/.mbox/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken physical s ize for mail UID 149418 in mailbox INBOX: read(/home/krakonos/.mbox/inbox) failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (3793 < 8065, box=INBOX, UID=149418, cached Message-Id=<88deda0d-86f6-6115-af10-60ac06bb2d22(a)rename-it.nl>) Oct 15 20:20:29 ibex dovecot: imap(krakonos): Error: read(/home/krakonos/.mbox/inbox) failed: Cached message size smaller than expected (3793 < 8065, box=INBOX, UID=149418, cached Message-Id=<88deda0d-86f6-6115-af10-60ac06bb2d22(a)rename-it.nl>) (FETCH BODY[] for mailbox INBOX UID 149418) Oct 15 20:20:29 ibex dovecot: imap(krakonos): FETCH read() failed in=110326 out=5115197 This is on a new message (attached), and this error happens on some messages when first opened. Once I reconnect, the message always opens fine, and no old message ever causes problem. I also noticed this error, which is possibly connected: Oct 15 20:15:12 ibex dovecot: lda(krakonos): Error: Next message unexpectedly corrupted in mbox file /home/krakonos/.mbox/inbox at 546862809 The filesystem is ext4, and there are no errors in syslog or problems with any other services. I also don't access the mbox locally, and only dovecot manipulates the mbox (via imap and mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver) The postfix version is 2.2.25. I'm attaching dovecot -n and the offending message (after it's been corrected). I'd rather not publish my sieve file, but will send it privately. The offending message also contains other message I received at approximately the same time. Any hint's on what could be wrong? -- S pozdravem Ladislav "Krakonoš" Láska http://www.krakonos.org/

Backing up and Importing IMAP folders
by Jerry 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

I am running Dovecot with Postfix on a FreeBSD machine. There are problems with the drive and I cannot depend on it. Dovecot saves all mail in IMAP format. I want to back up the mail folders, install a new HD, install the latest FreeBSD OS and then reinstall my programs. Reinstalling Dovecot is simple, but how do I reinstall the IMAP folders? Can Dovecot backup the folders onto a CD and then import them when I reinstall it? My mail is kept under “/var/mail/vmail”. Should I just back up that entire directory structure and then restore it later? Thanks! -- Jerry

logging TLS SNI hostname
by Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz 08 Nov '16

08 Nov '16

Is there a way to log SNI hostname used in TLS session? Info is there in SSL_CTX_set_tlsext_servername_callback, dovecot copies it to ssl_io->host. Unfortunately I don't see it expanded to any variables ( http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables ). Please consider this to be a feature request.

build failure --without-ssl
by Eray Aslan 08 Nov '16

dovecot-2.2.26.0: $ ./configure --without-ssl && make [...] libtool: error: cannot find the library '../lib-ssl-iostream/libssl_iostream_openssl.la' or unhandled argument '../lib-ssl-iostream/libssl_iostream_openssl.la' make[3]: *** [Makefile:738: test-http-client] Error 1 Had a quick look. When configured without ssl, the tests were failing at run time for dovecot-2.2.25. So, this change is good but not enough. Apparently, some people do use dovecot without ssl. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599024 -- Eray

Dovecot and zlib
by Peter Fraser 07 Nov '16

07 Nov '16

HI All I have a dovecot 1 server up and running without zlib and I am setting up a new Dovecot 2 Server and I want to use zlib. What is the proper way to do this? Should I set up the new server, copy the mail across and then enable zlib or do I compress the current mail in place and then copy across? Thanks for any help.

sieve sending vacation message from vmail@ns1.domain.tld
by Matthew Broadhead 07 Nov '16

07 Nov '16

I have a server running centos-release-7-2.1511.el7.centos.2.10.x86_64 with dovecot version 2.2.10. I am also using roundcube for webmail. when a vacation filter (reply with message) is created in roundcube it adds a rule to managesieve.sieve in the user's mailbox. everything works fine except the reply comes from vmail(a)ns1.domain.tld instead of user(a)domain.tld. ns1.domain.tld is the fully qualified name of the server. it used to work fine on my old CentOS 6 server so I am not sure what has changed. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can configure this behaviour?

Errors with count:User quota and NFS

I upgraded to 2.2.26.0 and enabled count as quota backend, expecting the recent fixes to allow me to use the backend, however I get the following errors: Oct 31 10:52:13 imap(xxxx(a)xxxx.xx): Error: Transaction log file /mnt/nfs/xxxx.xx/xxx/indexes/dovecot.list.index.log: marked corrupted Oct 31 10:52:15 imap(xxx(a)xxxx.xx): Error: Transaction log file /mnt/nfs/xxxx.xx/xxx/indexes/dovecot.list.index.log: marked corrupted Oct 31 10:52:37 imap(xxx(a)xxxx.xx): Warning: Locking transaction log file /mnt/nfs/xxx.xx/xxx/indexes/dovecot.list.index.log took 31 seconds (syncing) Oct 31 10:52:37 imap(xxx(a)xxx.xx): Warning: Locking transaction log file /mnt/nfs/xxx.xx/xxx/indexes/dovecot.list.index.log took 31 seconds (syncing) Oct 31 10:52:43 imap(xxx(a)xxx.xx): Error: Transaction log file /mnt/nfs/xxx.xx/xx/indexes/dovecot.list.index.log: marked corrupted Oct 31 10:52:52 imap(xxx(a)xxx.xx): Warning: Locking transaction log file /mnt/nfs/xxx.xx/xxx/indexes/dovecot.list.index.log took 31 seconds (syncing) Oct 31 10:53:04 imap(xxx(a)xxx.x): Warning: Locking transaction log file /mnt/nfs/xxx.xx/xxx/indexes/dovecot.list.index.log took 60 seconds (syncing) Oct 31 10:53:06 imap(xxx(a)xxx.xx): Warning: Locking transaction log file /mnt/nfs/xxx.xxx/xxx/indexes/dovecot.list.index.log took 31 seconds (syncing) (all different accounts) If I disable count as backend, there are no errors. I'm running my mail-storage on NFS, so I suspect the errors are due to locking? So is there no way to run count as quota backend with NFS? Thanks. -- Tom

deleting indices
by cheese＠nosuchhost.net 04 Nov '16

04 Nov '16

hi i have dovecot 2.0.9 - the version from rhel6 - and the following setup: two imap-servers with distinct /var/indices. those directory is local only, no sharing. the users mailboxes life on a shared nfs-storage. the two servers are setup active/passive: only one server is active and in case of a problem or maintenance the second server jumps in. no director in place. we would like to upgrade to rhel7 and add a director. there would be dovecot 2.2.10, but will take some time. one application (horde + activesync which use imap to access emails) seems to have troubles during the second server being active. horde relies according to their deveolpers heavily on modseq/qresync and if we switch to the seconds side there is another set of index-files. my knowledge was that deletion/corruption of index-files would be never a problem, as dovecot recreates them automatically. is this true for QRESNC, too? * is it a problem to have a old set of index-files on the second server, as this system is only in use every 3-4 weeks? * would it be better to start with empty indices? but there we have trouble with horde. and as it seems only with horde. "normal" imap-clients seem to be fine. yours josef

Forcibly terminated after 10 milliseconds
