[Dovecot] rare index cache error with dovecot 1.2.10
by Wolfgang.Friebel＠desy.de 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi, since some time for a single user updating the Maildir/dovecot.index.cache file produced errors whenever it needed to be updated: Aug 15 04:16:40 imapsrv dovecot: deliver(user): pwrite() failed: File too large Aug 15 04:16:40 imapsrv dovecot: deliver(user): file_set_size() failed with index cache file /var/spool/mail/mamuzic/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache: File too large The file itself was 55115776 bytes and a test program using pwrite with any reasonable size or offset does not produce the EFBIG error. Looking to the file contents the start of the file looks correct to me ( according to src/lib-index/mail-cache-private.h ) and despite of the error message the file gets updated and contains always the headers of the most recent incoming mail near the end of the file. After removing the file the cache was rebuilt properly (currently at 9MB). As this happened only for a single user out of approx 500 and after more than one year of using dovecot without any other problems I guess this is a very rare case. As pwrite tests do not show the error this seems not to be an issue with low file limits (as suggested in another mail on this topic) but maybe a lookup of corrupt addresses from the index.cache. I have saved the dovecot.index.cache, but as it is rather large (55MB) and does contain a lot of privacy information I would rather not make it accessible. Is there something I can further check to see whether dovecot is missing a sanity check? -- 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] Error: Index file too large ? 904 bytes ?

18 Aug '10

My 1.2.13 build is giving me errors based on the same conf file that was working perfectly for 1.2.12 : Aug 18 03:28:27 IMAP(dclarke): Error: Index file too large: /var/mail/dclarke/dovecot.index Aug 18 03:28:27 IMAP(dclarke): Fatal: block_alloc(2147483648): Out of memory Aug 18 03:28:27 dovecot: Error: child 12560 (imap) returned error 83 (Out of memory - see mail_process_size setting) The file in question is 904 bytes in size : bash-4.1# ls -l /export/home/dclarke/mail/.Sent/dovecot.index -rw------- 1 dclarke csw 904 Aug 4 16:05 /export/home/dclarke/mail/.Sent/dovecot.index So this seems insane.

[Dovecot] Extension for sorting mails by Displayname
by Michael Kliewe 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi everybody, first of all, thanks Timo for version 2.0. Currently I want to sort mails server-side by displayname of FROM and TO. There is an extension for it, but I think dovecot does not support it at the moment. It is defined in RFC 5957: https://www.tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5957 Is there an dovecot extension for it, how can I get that running? Michael

You could create a plugin that triggers getmail every time IMAP's STATUS command is sent. Or probably best to do it on mailbox_opened hook (in v2.0).

Upgrade to 1.1.x or 1.2.x? I believe that many people consider 1.0.x to be hideously ancient. I believe that many people on this list will be significantly reluctant to help you with anything before 1.2.x. Version 2.0.0 was declared the current release version last Monday (16 Aug 2010), with the previous current release version before that being 1.2.13. I believe that many people on this will not consider "But My Distro Provides Version X!" to be a valid excuse. Find a more up-to-date binary package, upgrade your distro, install from source; there is always a way. Bill

[Dovecot] wake up getamail on imap request

Hi, i've set up a little mailserver for my homeoffice, and after some problems everything works fine for me, I've some virtual users which get their mail delivered via getmail, and I can access my mails from my windows mailclient. The only issue I'm still facing is, that I don't like to run getmail as a cronjob that connects to my online mailboxes every minute or so, I'd rather want it to do so every thirty minutes and whenever I request so by fetching my mails at my mailclient (e.g. outlook), I've font the Fetchmail Wakeup plugin, but according to the description this only works for version 1.1.x and 1.2.x but I'm running 1.0.13. Anyone has any idea how to solve this or has a workaround? Thanks Petr

[Dovecot] reverting back to 1.2.12

ver 1.2.13 is also tossing these : Aug 18 03:37:49 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 805c600 (27) Aug 18 03:37:49 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 805c600 (25) Aug 18 03:37:49 dovecot: Warning: I/O leak: 805c600 (23) I have reverted back to 1.2.12 which "just works". I will go back and recompile 1.2.13 and 2.0.0 again. Maybe the addition of postgressql libs linked in or the use of GCC is the issue on Solaris. Not sure but 1.2.12 to 1.2.13 did not go smoothly at all. Dennis

[Dovecot] Using dovecot with vpopmail and mysql auth?
by Aaron Greengrass 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hi, Does anyone happen to know the right strings to do authentication against mysql storing vpopmail data, vs using the vpopmail auth module? I'm trying to get up to both vpopmail 5.5, and dovecot 2.0, and dovecot-auth seems to reliably segfault on the 5.5 vpopmail module. I've tried downgrading vpopmail as well, with less than stellar results. I saw an old article about doing exactly that -- switching from the vpop module, while still using it's DB, but it is both a) old, and b) confusing. Any help you can offer -- or urls in a pinch -- would be appreciated.

[Dovecot] Very complex Master User Examples using MySQL
by Marc Perkel 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

For those who are interested I have posted in the Wiki examples of using master users in very interesting ways. In these example we will create 3 kinds of master users. The first will be users who can read all email for all domains. The next example will be users who can read all email for their domain only. The third example will be users who can read email of domains listed in a separate ownership table. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers Go to Advanced SQL Examples at bottom Let me know what you think. In order to actually make this work you'll have to apply this patch Timo just posted: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/3ba227176cde

[Dovecot] Tricky Master User Query - need MySQL help
by Marc Perkel 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

OK - I want to do something very tricky with master users and if I get it to work I'm adding it to the wiki for everyone to use. So far I have a MySQL database that servers multiple domains. I can set a flag making someone a domain owner that allows that person to become master of that domain. Here's the query for that. password_query = SELECT user_name, domain_name, password FROM users WHERE user_name = '%n' AND domain_name = '%d' AND owns_domain='1' AND '%d'='%{login_domain}' So - here's where we get tricky. I have another table called "ownership" where I have 2 fields which is a pairing of email addresses (login_id) and domains owned (owned_object). Data might look like this: joe(a)blow.com domain1.com joe(a)blow.com domain2.com Since joe(a)blow.com owns both domain1.com and domain2.com I want him to be able to log in as anyone in those 2 domains as a master user. Examples: tom@domain1.com*joe@blow.com harry@domain2.com*joe@blow.com So the idea is to create a MySQL query so that if the master user matches the domain part of the login user then it returns true and allows the login. What MySQL query will do that?

[Dovecot] Master Login using MySQL problem - %{login_domain}
by Marc Perkel 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi Timo, Been trying to track this problem down further. The problem seems to be related to verifying the master user failing. My passdb looks like this: passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-domain-owner-sql.conf master = yes pass = yes } dovecot-domain-owner-sql.conf contains: user_query = SELECT user_name, domain_name FROM users WHERE user_name = '%n' AND domain_name = '%d' AND owns_domain='1' password_query = SELECT user_name, domain_name, password FROM users WHERE user_name = '%n' AND domain_name = '%d' AND owns_domain='1' AND '%d'='%{login_domain}' In this example - bill(a)plf.net is an ordinary user. tom(a)plf.net is a domain owner. Tom wants to read bills email. The login is: bill@plf.net*tom@plf.net This results in tom(a)plf.net being classified as an unknown user. Aug 17 08:38:30 auth: Debug: sql(tom(a)plf.net,127.0.0.1): query: SELECT user_name, domain_name, password FROM users WHERE user_name = 'tom' AND domain_name = 'plf.net' AND owns_domain='1' AND 'plf.net'='' Aug 17 08:38:30 auth: Info: sql(tom(a)plf.net,127.0.0.1): unknown user Aug 17 08:38:32 auth: Debug: client out: FAIL 15 user=tom(a)plf.net Aug 17 08:38:32 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<tom(a)plf.net>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=0, secured Note that the query used to determine that tom(a)plf.net is valid is the password_query and not the user_query resulting in unknown user. I think that's where the problem is.

[Dovecot] Managesieve and Dovecot 2.0: clients incompatible?
by Jerrale G 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

I successfully converted my 1.2.x config and am trying to use managesieve. This configuration is really for 1.2.x even though it says for 2.0: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ManageSieve/Configuration Trying to assign the port number is not by using "listen". Anyway, I just reverted, on the client, to using the default port 2000. The managesieve client now hangs trying to login and eventually times out. Is the new pigeonhole managesieve incompatible with clients that worked with managesieve 0.11.11? There is no output in the log concerning managesieve from pigeonhole. I guess I could put log=/path/to/a/file in the managesieve part and see what happens. In the old dovecot 1.2, we would get a "managesieve-login" in the log when a client even TRIED to login; now, nothing! -- Jerrale G. SC Senior Admin

[Dovecot] authentication failure with known good credentials???
by Dave Stevens 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi, I have a problem on my server. To illustrate, I created a new user, unclewiggly, and set up a password. I then used sent an email from my usual account. Logging in with my browser I am able to see the inbox, the mail and contents correctly. I then set up a new instance of Eudora 7.1 on my windows 7 box with the appropriate login id and check the account using the correct password. The fetch fails with the client reporting an authentication failure. Ideas? Places to look? Logfiles I can search? Maillog doesn't seem very informative, should I send a snippet? Thanks, Dave -- "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Krishnamurti

[Dovecot] 2.0 not starting
by Luciano Mannucci 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Hi everybody, I tried to upgrade my 1.2.13 dovecot to 2.0. The configure/make/install process seemed to work flawlessly. I created the dovenull user, converted my config with #src/config/doveconf -n -c /etc/dovecot.conf > /tmp/dovecot.conf and moved the result manually to /etc/dovecot. By typing "dovecot" (after having stopped the previous instance :), I get: Error: service(pop3-login): listen(::, 110) failed: Address already in use Error: service(imap-login): listen(::, 143) failed: Address already in use Fatal: Failed to start listeners tough nor "netstat -ta" nor "lsof -i" do show anything using port 110 or 143. What did I wrong?

[Dovecot] Master User Features I'd like to see
by Marc Perkel 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

Here's what I'd like. Limited master users, where someone can be a master users for some domains but not others. I think I could do what I want with the right kinds of variable passing that doesn't yet exist. Let me see if I can explain clearly. From the example in the wiki: auth_master_user_separator = * passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-master.conf.ext master = yes pass = yes } passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } Login looks like this: # telnet localhost 143 * OK Dovecot ready. 1 login loginuser*masteruser masterpass 1 OK Logged in. I'm assuming that the masteruser and masterpass is passed to the master passdb and when doing so the variable %u is the master user. I assume that %n and %d also represent the name and domain part of the master user. What I need is to also be able to have variables for the loginuser passed to the master user query. Something like %lu, %ln, and %ld perhaps. That way with MySQL tricks I might be able to see if the master user is master for that particular login user. That way I can give domain owners or owners of multiple domains the ability to manage the email accounts within their scope of permission.

[Dovecot] cluster with dsync mirror
by Bryan Vyhmeister 17 Aug '10

17 Aug '10

I have an idea for running a pair of redundant dovecot mail servers that may be odd but it might work. I'm interested in any thoughts on the topic. Would it work to run 'dsync mirror' every minute against either mdbox or sdbox mailbox on a dedicated network connection between two (or potentially three or four) mail servers? I'm trying to avoid using a NAS/SAN or some other dedicated NFS server in a simple environment with a limited number of users. Everything else about the systems could be identical. Both could receive mail using Postfix with dovecot LDA. Thank you. Bryan
