[Dovecot] ZFS Index corruption and Connection reset by peer
by Philippe Chevalier 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hello, I'm currently using dovecot 1.2.11 on FreeBSD 8.0 with ZFS filesystems. So far, so good, it works quite nicely, but I have a couple glitches. Each user has his own zfs partition, mounted on /home/<user> (easier to set per user quotas) and mail is stored in their home. From day one, when people check their mail via imap, a lot of indexes corruption occured : dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): Corrupted transaction log file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index.log seq 13: record size too small +(type=0x0, offset=5560, size=0) (sync_offset=5652) dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): fscking index file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index log position went backwards (13,132 < 13,5560) dovecot: IMAP(<user>@domain.org): Transaction log file /home/<user>/Mail/Maildir/INBOX/dovecot.index.log: marked corrupted etc, etc... After some digging, I "solved" this problem with mmap_disable = yes in dovecot.conf. Index corruption doesn't seem to occur anymore. Is this normal? I thought this problem occured only on NFS filesystem and eventually on old versions of ZFS. Hasn't this been fixed? Is there an option in ZFS that would allow mmap calls without corruption. Has it something to do with compression ? The options of the zfs filesystem are : zhome/username type filesystem - zhome/username creation Thu Mar 18 11:10 2010 - zhome/username used 750M - zhome/username available 61.0G - zhome/username referenced 750M - zhome/username compressratio 1.20x - zhome/username mounted yes - zhome/username quota none default zhome/username reservation none default zhome/username recordsize 128K default zhome/username mountpoint /usr/home/username inherited from zhome zhome/username sharenfs off default zhome/username checksum on default zhome/username compression lzjb inherited from zhome zhome/username atime off inherited from zhome zhome/username devices on default zhome/username exec on default zhome/username setuid on default zhome/username readonly off default zhome/username jailed off default zhome/username snapdir hidden default zhome/username aclmode groupmask default zhome/username aclinherit restricted default zhome/username canmount on default zhome/username shareiscsi off default zhome/username xattr off temporary zhome/username copies 1 default zhome/username version 3 - zhome/username utf8only off - zhome/username normalization none - zhome/username casesensitivity sensitive - zhome/username vscan off default zhome/username nbmand off default zhome/username sharesmb off default zhome/username refquota none default zhome/username refreservation none default zhome/username primarycache all default zhome/username secondarycache all default zhome/username usedbysnapshots 0 - zhome/username usedbydataset 750M - zhome/username usedbychildren 0 - zhome/username usedbyrefreservation 0 - Other problem, that I have been unable to solve so far, is that a lot of entries show up in my logs about : dovecot: imap-login: net_disconnect() failed: Connection reset by peer It doesn't seem to have any adverse effect, except it's filling up the logs. It seem to appear when a client closes the imap connection? Is there a way to suppress this error? Regard P.C.

[Dovecot] BUG Dovecot 1.0.15 and Apples Mail.app
by Gerhard Waldemair 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Is there anyone using Apple´s Mail.app to collect the mails via IMAP or IMAPS ? I found a funny bug in Debian Lennys Dovecot Version. (still v. 1.0.15) When I get my Mails via IMAP or IMAPS and define a Rule in Mail.app to move the eMail to s specific folder I will find the mail 2 times in the folder. After a minute or so the double Mail disappears. I have tried it with other programs like Thunderbird. There everything works, v1.0 too. Now I have updatet Dovecot from 1.0 to 1.2 from Backports and everything works great now !!!!! Regards, Gerhard PS in Squeeze Dovecot is Version 1.2

Hello (and Moin Moin) ;) I have currently a straith Problem ... I have our IMAP-Server migrated from an old cyrus the the current stable Version of dovecot. In the old configuration we organized many mails (e.g. root-Stuff) in Public Folders. They structure had nearly 5 folderlevels. After the complete migration an syncronize we switch complete to the dovecot setup. At this moment we have problems with access to the Public Folders. (We use as Client the actualy Thunderbird3 ...)

[Dovecot] Ok with a bit more wiki reading ...
by Chuck McManis 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

So if I want to run dovecot from tcpserver it seems like I can simply run `pop3-login --ssl` from tcpserver (its sort of like running it from inetd) and it says it will 'talk to dovecot'. Can I disable all listeners in dovecot then? Will is still talk to it? Trying some experiments now ... --Chuck

[Dovecot] Migrating from CommunigatePro to Dovecot - anyone done this?
by Gavin Lawrie 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Apologies if this is in the archive - did look but couldn't find it. Does anyone have any experience of migrating from CommunigatePro to Dovecot? We currently run CGP 5.3.4, supporting a small system (20 or so users, one domain). We've been using it for years, and have a mixed bag of MailDir and mbox folders accessed via IMAP clients. Some users have large mail accounts (15GB total). We're looking to move as CGP is evolving into a complex "Messaging Centre" application (PBX, SIP, Mail, Groupware, Portals etc.) which we don't need / use. I had a look on the Dovecot Wiki and under migration are discussions about various other mail systems, but I don't know enough about these to tell if they would also apply to CGP. Any thoughts / suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks Gavin. * Balanced Scorecard Training from 2GC: Next course 16th July 2010 in the UK.

[Dovecot] Patch to fix leak in imap_refresh_proctitle in beta[5, 6]
by Mike Abbott 17 Jun '10

The "imap" process of dovecot-2.0.beta[5,6] grows very large (I impose no system limits), e.g. exceeding 4.8GB on a 64-bit system.

[Dovecot] search bug?
by Pozsar Balazs 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi all, I have emails with multiple Delivered-To: headers in them. The problem is that the SEARCH command only searches in the first instances. For example: 1 FETCH 14557 BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (Delivered-To)] * 14557 FETCH (BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (DELIVERED-TO)] {85} Delivered-To: pozsy(a)ojjektum.uhulinux.hu Delivered-To: szamlagyar(a)uhusystems.com ) 1 OK Fetch completed. 1 SEARCH HEADER Delivered-To szamlagyar(a)uhusystems.com * SEARCH 14589 1 OK Search completed (0.146 secs). You can see the meesage with the id 14557 _has_ a "Delivered-To: szamlagyar(a)uhusystems.com" header field, but the SEARCH does not find it, only another message. This is with dovecot 1.2.11. For the record, cyrus-imapd behaves as I would have expected, and I could not find anything relevant in the RFCs. Could anyone tell me if this is a bug, or how to search like I would want? Thanks, Balazs Pozsar

[Dovecot] New admin, not much success
by Chuck McManis 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hello, I'm trying to set up something fairly simple (famous last words) using Dovecot. I have a very small setup (just a dozen users) I'm using qmail as my MTA. I'm running FreeBSD 8.0 I've got qmail delivering into a file named 'Mailbox' in user's home directories. I prefer not to use Maildir delivery because from a shell its a PITA to get a Maildir aware MUA (I use /bin/mail when I'm attached locally) What I'm trying to do is configure an SSL only POP3 server so that folks can retrieve their email on the road without divulging their passwords. My backup scenario is to put VPN software on my user's clients and having them VPN into the network and then do un-encrypted POP3 from the VPN. I prefer not to do this as it means maintaining the VPN client as well. Users have a mix of MacOS, Windows, and Linux. So, I can't get dovecot to work at all. In an unusual turn about I got the SSL stuff working but not the mailbox handling. I'm running 2.0beta6 Output from dovecot -n ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # 2.0.beta6: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p2 i386 nfs auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes default_internal_user = nobody default_login_user = nobody listen = * mail_full_filesystem_access = yes mail_location = mbox:/home/%u/:INBOX=/home/%u/ passdb { driver = pam } protocols = pop3 service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service pop3 { process_limit = 1024 } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } ----------------------------------------------------------------------- A typical failure looks like this in maillog: Jun 15 22:19:20 eeebox dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.0.beta6 starting up Jun 15 22:20:29 eeebox dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<cmcmanis>, method=PLAIN, rip=66.125.189.27, lip=66.125.189.30, mpid=78871, TLS Jun 15 22:20:29 eeebox dovecot: pop3(cmcmanis): Error: Opening INBOX failed: Mailbox isn't selectable Jun 15 22:20:29 eeebox dovecot: pop3(cmcmanis): Error: Couldn't open INBOX: Mailbox isn't selectable Jun 15 22:20:29 eeebox dovecot: pop3(cmcmanis): Couldn't open INBOX top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0 -------------------------------------------------------------- Home directories are mounted via NFS and root doesn't have access, but if dovecot accesses the Mailbox as the user it should work fine. I'm about ready to start hacking in additional logging into mail-storage.c to figure out what "mailbox isn't selectable" means. --Chuck

[Dovecot] Logout after SSL/TLS negociation
by bmfr 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi All, I've set up Dovecot to use my signed SSL certificate and IMAP client is using STARTTLS on port 143 without secure authentication. The TLS negociation process seems to go through ok but once the negociation is finished the client sends an IMAP LOGOUT message; he does not try to authenticate, below is the Dovecot's info log: dovecot: 2010-06-15 15:37:01 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=3932 dovecot: 2010-06-15 15:37:03 Info: imap-login: Aborted login (0 authentication attempts): rip=130.100.32.54, lip=10.0.3.3, TLS I've decrypted the TLS negociation thanks to Wireshark (in SSL preferences I added the certificate's private key to decode the stream between client and server) but unfortunately it does not say why the client is sending the LOGOUT command. Do you have an idea of what could be wrong in my server set up? What debugging process would you advise me to follow? Thanks a lot for your precious help.

[Dovecot] A new director service in v2.0 for NFS installations
by Timo Sirainen 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

As http://wiki.dovecot.org/NFS describes, the main problem with NFS has always been caching problems. One NFS client changes two files, but another NFS client sees only one of the changes, which Dovecot then assumes is caused by corruption. The recommended solution has always been to redirect the same user to only a single server at the same time. User doesn't have to be permanently assigned there, but as long as a server has some of user's files cached, it should be the only server accessing the user's mailbox. Recently I was thinking about a way to make this possible with an SQL database: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-January/046112.html The company here in Italy didn't really like such idea, so I thought about making it more transparent and simpler to manage. The result is a new "director" service, which does basically the same thing, except without SQL database. The idea is that your load balancer can redirect connections to one or more Dovecot proxies, which internally then figure out where the user should go. So the proxies act kind of like a secondary load balancer layer. When a connection from a newly seen user arrives, it gets assigned to a mail server according to a function: host = vhosts[ md5(username) mod vhosts_count ] This way all of the proxies assign the same user to the same host without having to talk to each others. The vhosts[] is basically an array of hosts, except each host is initially listed there 100 times (vhost count=100). This vhost count can then be increased or decreased as necessary to change the host's load, probably automatically in future. The problem is then of course that if (v)hosts are added or removed, the above function will return a different host than was previously used for the same user. That's why there is also an in-memory database that keeps track of username -> (hostname, timestamp) mappings. Every new connection from user refreshes the timestamp. Also existing connections refresh the timestamp every n minutes. Once all connections are gone, the timestamp expires and the user is removed from database. The final problem then is how multiple proxies synchronize their state. The proxies connect to each others forming a connection ring. For example with 4 proxies the connections would go like A -> B -> C -> A. Each time a user is added/refreshed, a notification is sent to both directions in the ring (e.g. B sends to A and C), which in turn forward it until it reaches a server that has already seen it. This way if a proxy dies (or just hangs for a few seconds), the other proxies still get the changes without waiting for it to timeout. Host changes are replicated in the same way. It's possible that two connections from a user arrive to different proxies while (v)hosts are being added/removed. It's also possible that only one of the proxies has seen the host change. So the proxies could redirect users to different servers during that time. This can be prevented by doing a ring-wide sync, during which all proxies delay assigning hostnames to new users. This delay shouldn't be too bad because a) they should happen rarely, b) it should be over quickly, c) users already in database can still be redirected during the sync. The main complexity here comes from how to handle proxy server failures in different situations. Those are less interesting to describe and I haven't yet implemented all of it, so let's just assume that in future it all works perfectly. :) I was also thinking about writing a test program to simulate the director failures to make sure it all works. Finally, there are the doveadm commands that can be used to: 1) List the director status: # doveadm director status mail server ip vhosts users 11.22.3.44 100 1312 12.33.4.55 50 1424 1) Add a new mail server (defaults are in dovecot.conf): # doveadm director add 1.2.3.4 2) Change a mail server's vhost count to alter its connection count (also works during adding): # doveadm director add 1.2.3.4 50 3) Remove a mail server completely (because it's down): # doveadm director remove 1.2.3.4 If you want to slowly get users away from a specific server, you can assign its vhost count to 0 and wait for its user count to drop to zero. If the server is still working while "doveadm director remove" is called, new connections from the users in that server are going to other servers while the old ones are still being handled.

[Dovecot] Sieve doesn't appear to be active
by Darek M 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

I'm hoping that this isn't something stupid and that I'm not wasting bandwidth here, but I'm stuck and don't know any further ways of debugging this. And most non-documentation, end-user created info I find is for 1.0 with cmusieve. Running Dovecot 1.2.11 on Fedora Core 12. Added 'sieve' to 'mail_plugins'. Have enabled verbose logging with 'mail_debug = yes'. But I'm not seeing anything in the logs relating to sieve, and the sieve script I point to isn't being compiled (no .log file). Everything else works fine, this is a production system where I'm trying to add sieve support. What steps can I take to troubleshoot? Config files: # dovecot -n ========= # 1.2.11: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686.PAE i686 Fedora release 12 (Constantine) ext3 log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-err.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-info.log protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve ssl_cert_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem disable_plaintext_auth: yes 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 login_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login login_process_per_connection: no login_processes_count: 10 first_valid_gid: 5000 last_valid_gid: 5000 mail_uid: 5000 mail_gid: 5000 mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_debug: yes maildir_very_dirty_syncs: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)domain.com hostname: domain.com mail_plugins: sieve quota auth default: mechanisms: plain login apop user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/postfix/dovecot.sql socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: vmail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: sieve: /home/vmail/sieve-scripts/sieve.siv /etc/postfix/dovecot.sql: ================= driver = mysql connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=postfix user=dovecot password=dovecot user_query = SELECT concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' password_query = SELECT username as user, password, concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_mail, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' ================= [root@sys ~]# cd /var/log/dovecot/ [root@sys dovecot]# grep -i sieve * dovecot-info.log:Jun 14 13:09:22 managesieve-login: Info: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=::1, lip=::1, secured Only log entry from me telnetting to the managesieve port. -- Darek

[Dovecot] passwd-file management utility
by Phil Howard 15 Jun '10

15 Jun '10

I'm now putting together tools/documentation to manage/administer the mail server, including, of course, managing users. Round one will be command line tools. In order to avoid re-invention, I was looking around for existing tools. I really cannot find any. So it seems I will be developing them. The first will be the one to manage users in the passwd-file format. So I'm just asking around if anyone has heard of such tools somewhere Google isn't finding (it does find lots of generic pages with the keywords used in other contexts). If not, I'll be building my own (and this will be for passwd-file format for the userdb/passdb),

[Dovecot] Maildir + /var/mail

15 Jun '10

Hi, I have just switched to Maildir, and I have noticed something. Even though it works properly, I have noticed that a file named /var/mail/user with 0 bytes length is still created. Is this normal? I use sendmail+procmail+dovecot. I have also tried the combined procmail+deliver approach with the same results. I also use a global /etc/procmailrc. Thank you

[Dovecot] convert Plugin Error
by Bradlee Landis 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

I am getting an error when using the convert plugin for dovecot. Jun 14 13:27:20 mail dovecot: IMAP(user): Mailbox conversion: rename(/home/user/mail, /home/user/mail-converted) failed: Directory not empty Dovecot creates mail-converted, but does not delete mail completely for some reason. It continues to add a message from the mbox to Maildir format, creating duplicates every time I check my email. I can fix it by deleting mail-converted, but I don't want this to happen to other users on the system. Does anyone have a clue as to why it's doing this, and what I can do to fix it? I can send you my mbox file and home directory structure if you'd like to take a gander at it. Dovecot v1.0.7 Scientific Linux 5.4 (Importing mbox files from RHEL 3.8). -- Thanks, Brad Landis
