[Dovecot] Problem when just .dovecot.sieve symlinks changes
by Steffen Kaiser 26 Sep '08

26 Sep '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, well, I'm sort of sure that this was raised in the past, but I do not find the patch / answer of it: I'm running dovecot v1.0.15 from hg (5567:568687e4df02) with managesieve patch v9.2 (there is one change between this and v9.3 except in regards of AUTH so this should not matter.) and dovecot-sieve v1.0.3. When an user issues just "SETACTIVE" in order to activate an _old_ script, deliver does not rebuilt the compiled file. If I peeked the correct code, CMU sieve just stat()s both .dovecot.sieve and .dovecot.sievec, but misses the fact that the symlink's .dovecot.sieve, which is used by the managesieve patch, time is newer. Actually I dimmly remember that the issue was solved somehow, but I did not found how when searching the archives. Shall deliver lstat(.dovecot.sieve) or shall managesieve delete the cache file?

[Dovecot] patch for passdb-vpopmail in v1.1.3

I need pop-before-smtp to work with vpopmail (yes, yes, I know, don't ask). Enabling the code to update the relays file brings a small bug to light, fixable with the following patch: --- passdb-vpopmail.c~ 2008-09-25 15:06:47.000000000 +0100 +++ passdb-vpopmail.c 2008-09-25 15:07:14.000000000 +0100 @@ -31,9 +31,9 @@ } if (((vpw->pw_gid & NO_IMAP) != 0 && - strcmp(auth_request->service, "IMAP") == 0) || + strcasecmp(auth_request->service, "IMAP") == 0) || ((vpw->pw_gid & NO_POP) != 0 && - strcmp(auth_request->service, "POP3") == 0)) { + strcasecmp(auth_request->service, "POP3") == 0)) { auth_request_log_info(auth_request, "vpopmail", "%s disabled", auth_request->service); password = NULL; @@ -101,8 +101,8 @@ } #ifdef HAVE_VPOPMAIL_OPEN_SMTP_RELAY - if (strcmp(request->service, "POP3") == 0 || - strcmp(request->service, "IMAP") == 0) { + if (strcasecmp(request->service, "POP3") == 0 || + strcasecmp(request->service, "IMAP") == 0) { const char *host = net_ip2addr(&request->remote_ip); if (host != NULL) { /* use putenv() directly rather than env_put() which (in my case, auth_request->service and request->service are "pop3", so the comparison fails and the relays file is never updated.)

[Dovecot] auth(default): vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away
by Jordi Prats 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hi all, I'm facing this error: dovecot: auth(default): vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away I've been reading this list archives and seems to be a resolved issue (back to 2005), so dovecot should just reconnect but it does not so. I'm using dovecot 1.1.3 with vpopmail 5.4.25 with this configuration: # 1.1.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf listen: *:143 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 89 last_valid_uid: 89 mail_location: maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/%d/%n/Maildir auth default: passdb: driver: vpopmail userdb: driver: vpopmail Any ideas?

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA and quota
by Jonas Christian 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hi List, I recently upgraded to Dovecot 1.1.3 on FreeBSD and got into trouble over the quotas. We implemented per-user quotas using plugin { quota = maildir } and protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota } We use a passwd-file userdb with extra fields, which used to be quota=maildir:storage:<bytes> which I changed to quota_rule=*:bytes:<bytes> What happens now is that deliver (the Dovecot LDA) only picks up the quotas set in the maildirsize file in the user's homedir. It doesn't pick up the quota set in the userdb. Also, when I delete the maildirsize file, I doesn't get recreated by the LDA and quotas don't get checked at all. Any ideas? I'd be very grateful for any pointers. Cheers, Jonas

[Dovecot] Using deliver with postfix
by Rich Winkel 25 Sep '08

25 Sep '08

Hi, I'm trying to set up dovecot 1.1.2 and postfix 2.5.4 on freebsd 7.0. I'm getting permissions problems on auth-master and I'm not sure of the correct settings to use. In postfix's main.cf I have mailbox_command=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $USER In dovecot.conf I have: socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = dovecot group = postfix } ... # ls -l /var/run/dovecot/auth-master srw-rw---- 1 dovecot postfix 0 Sep 18 18:26 /var/run/dovecot/auth-master= In maillog I'm getting: deliver(sumbuddy): Can't connect to auth server at /var/run/dovecot//auth-master: Permission denied (I'm not sure where it's getting the "//" in the path either ...) Also I'm confused about whether I need the postfix options: maildrop_destination_recipient_limit=1 dovecot_destination_concurrency_limit=1 or even whether these are current options in my version of postfix (they don't appear in main.cf.default) Does deliver require such limits on concurrency or # of recipients? Thanks!! Rich

I'd suggest trying first with another client to see if it's not an issue with Thunderbird, which in my opinion is not very good at handling attachments in imap.

[Dovecot] [Dovecot 1.1.3] Strange problem with attachment download
by Thomas Gropp 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hello everyone, I am testing Dovecot 1.1.3 at the moment to see if I can migrate from UW-Imap(mbox) to Dovecot(maildir). Because I dont' want to influence the production server I installed Dovecot on an ununsed computer with some dummy-testusers using ssl and maildir. Installation was without any problems and everything works fine with one exception: I cannot download some attachments. If the attachment is a simple textfile or bitmap it's ok, but everything else (pdf, zip, etc. - size doesn't matter) does not work. Here is what happens: 1) I right-click on the attached file -> "save as" (using Thunderbird 2) 2) I choose a target dir (no matter if local disk or nfs) 3) the download-dialog pops up and says: "starting...." 4) nothing happens form then on In the log file I see (lots of them for a single "attachment-download-try" until I stop Thunderbird): "dovecot: Fatal: IMAP(<username>): io_loop_handle_add: epoll_ctl(1, 1): File exists" (which file??) I googled this message but without success. I already tried having all files on the local fs instead of nfs but it doesn't change anything. I also tried a lot of different settings (concerning locking, nfs, permissions) in the dovecot.conf. Everything else works just fine: logging in, receiving, creating folders, deleting etc...) Im using a (very) old SuSE 9.0 installation with ext2. I put my (current) devecot.conf and the output of "dovecot -n" at the end. As I have no idea what else to try/check: Anyone out there who has a tip what else I could check to solve this? Or even someone who had the same problem with a solution? ;o) Thx Thomas my current dovecot.conf: ************************************************************* protocols = imaps protocol imap { listen = *:143 # not active ssl_listen = *:446 # for testing } listen = * disable_plaintext_auth = yes ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem verbose_ssl = yes login_greeting = Dovecot ready. mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mmap_disable = yes fsync_disable = no mail_nfs_index = yes lock_method = dotlock maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes mbox_read_locks = dotlock_try mbox_write_locks = dotlock_try mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 120 protocol imap { } protocol pop3 { } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)example.com } auth_debug = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb shadow { } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { } plugin { } ************************************************************* Output of dovecot -n ************************************************************* # 1.1.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imaps ssl_listen: *:446 ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_debug: yes mmap_disable: yes mail_nfs_index: yes lock_method: dotlock mbox_read_locks: dotlock_try mbox_write_locks: dotlock_try auth default: debug: yes passdb: driver: shadow userdb: driver: passwd ***************************************************************+

[Dovecot] Can't move mail items to Inbox
by Phillip Smith 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hi all, Trying to setup Postfix / Dovecot / Fetchmail to collect all my mail centrally on my home server and serve it out by IMAP. Everything is working, using Maildir format except I can't move mail from a sub-folder to my Inbox. Example: I send a test message to myself. It gets picked up by fetchmail, and delivered to /home/user/Maildir/new by postfix. Dovecot serves that out to my client. I can then move that message from the Inbox to a subfolder, but then I can't move it back to the Inbox. I don't get any error messages or anything - it just doesn't happen :( Any help and advice would be great. root ~ # dovecot -n # 1.1.3: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf listen: 192.168.31.3 disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /usr/var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: Dovecot server.local READY login_max_processes_count: 8 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd root ~ # dovecot --version 1.1.3 Cheers, ~p

[Dovecot] One fs with quota, one without: incorrect data shown
by Laurent Blume 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

Hello all, I'm using Dovecot 1.0.15 on a Solaris 10. There are two different FS in place for IMAP: /var/mail for inbox /export/home for the mail folders The first doesn't have quota, the second does. However, I've noticed that Thunderbird does display quota information on the inbox (that doesn't make any sense, the values are incorrect). The same incorrect values are shown for folders as well. I tried the following configurations, but without success, the result is always the same: quota = fs ---- quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/var/mail quota2 = fs:Others:mount=/export/home ---- quota = fs:Others:mount=/export/home Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[Dovecot] Debugging password schemes
by Ian R. Justman 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Hi, all. I managed to get my new password scheme routine written, but a couple of things: 1. The example module lacks an init routine. Since I used it as a model, my module also lacks one. As such, my newly-built module is seen but not registered. In the meantime, I moved the routines into password-scheme.c instead where I had access to all the MD5 routines already set up for me. 2. Once in password-scheme.c and modified to the point where it builds without warnings or errors and it doesn't gag on itself, it doesn't seem to work properly. What's the best way to debug password-scheme.c so I can see what's going on so I can fix things accordingly? I have to "manually" break apart the value stored in a database a bit differently than other salted values (it's using salted MD5 values a bit differently than normal). The password format from a Post.Office server, but apparently, Netscape Messaging Server uses this same format. Thanks! --Ian. -- Ian R. Justman UNIX hacker. Anime fan.

[Dovecot] Small deliver bug
by Robin Breathe 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

Setting "mail_location=maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=~/index:CONTROL=~/control" (or separating INDEX and CONTROL in general) along with "quota=maildir" (and or having a ~/.dovecot.sieve) appears to expose a small bug in deliver (version 1.1.3, but probably all). While deliver will create a missing INDEX directory, it throws an error if the CONTROL directory is missing, exiting with exit code 75 and the following message: Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2008-09-11 12:30:13] The associated syslog error is: Sep 11 12:30:13 csmail2 deliver(88345678): [ID 994296 mail.error] file_dotlock_open(/users4/stu/78/88345678/control/maildirsize) failed: No such file or directory Sep 11 12:30:13 csmail2 deliver(88345678): [ID 702911 mail.error] Internal quota calculation error Sep 11 12:30:13 csmail2 deliver(88345678): [ID 702911 mail.info] msgid=<43435ee38b616bb360e98d1990ad8f6d(a)example.com>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] Possible bug involving LDA and Namespaces
by Allen Belletti 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

Hi All, Yesterday I began experimenting with using LDA to do delivery. To begin with I'm using a .forward file entry for myself so as to avoid affecting other users. When "deliver" is passed an item to deliver, the following is logged: > deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: Namespace: type=private, > prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes > deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: maildir: > data=/home/cns/allen/Maildir > deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: maildir++: > root=/home/cns/allen/Maildir, index=, control=, > inbox=/home/cns/allen/Maildir > deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: Namespace: type=private, > prefix=INBOX/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=yes, list=yes, subscriptions=yes > deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: maildir: > data=/home/cns/allen/Maildir > deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Info: maildir++: > root=/home/cns/allen/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox= > deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Error: namespace configuration error: > All list=yes namespaces must use the same separator > deliver(allen): Sep 18 19:28:52 Fatal: Namespace initialization failed Note that we have an "extra" namespace defined as this seemed to be required in order for Mac Mail.app to function properly. That namespace is defined with "list = no" as can be seen in the following dovecot.conf excerpt: > namespace private { > separator = . > prefix = INBOX. > inbox = yes > } > > # For Mac Mail.app > namespace private { > list = no > separator = / > prefix = INBOX/ > inbox = no > hidden = yes > } Nonetheless, when deliver starts up it believes that both namespaces have "list = yes". Is this potentially a bug in the way deliver reads the configuration file data? I've not looked into the code yet as I imagine that getting up to speed on it might take some time. As another data point, actually logging in via IMAP and running "list "" "*"" shows only one namespace. Any advice here would be appreciated.

22 Sep '08

Hi, all. I was curious how difficult it would be to add a new password scheme to Dovecot? I have to transplant mailboxes from one machine to another, the older machine running Post.Office from now-defunct Software.Com, which was bought by OpenWave, then discontinued. Apparently, Netscape's mailserver offering from the day also supports this scheme. There's code out there that was incorporated into OpenLDAP a while back which can read this scheme, but I need to use MySQL as a source for this. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer. --Ian. -- Ian R. Justman UNIX hacker. Anime fan. Any questions? ianj (at) ian-justman.com

[Dovecot] antispam plugin signature-log backend with v1.1.2
by Alexander Prinsier 22 Sep '08

Hello, Is the signature-log backend of the antispam plugin broken when compiling with dovecot version 1.1.2? I'm using version 1.0 of the antispam plugin. It looks like there isn't anything more recent. cc -c -DCONFIG_DEBUG -DDEBUG_SYSLOG -fPIC -shared -Wall -Wextra -DPLUGINNAME=antispam -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../dovecot-1.1.2/ -I../dovecot-1.1.2/src/ -I../dovecot-1.1.2/src/lib/ -I../dovecot-1.1.2/src/lib-storage/ -I../dovecot-1.1.2/src/lib-mail/ -I../dovecot-1.1.2/src/lib-imap/ -I../dovecot-1.1.2/src/lib-dict/ -I../dovecot-1.1.2/src/lib-index/ -I../dovecot-1.1.2/src/imap/ -o signature-log.o signature-log.c signature-log.c: In function ‘backend_start’: signature-log.c:54: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of ‘dict_init’ signature-log.c:54: error: too few arguments to function ‘dict_init’ signature-log.c: In function ‘backend_handle_mail’: signature-log.c:97: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of ‘mail_storage_set_error’ signature-log.c:97: error: too few arguments to function ‘mail_storage_set_error’ signature-log.c:128: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of ‘mail_storage_set_error’ signature-log.c:128: error: too few arguments to function ‘mail_storage_set_error’ make: *** [signature-log.o] Error 1 Thanks, Alexander

[Dovecot] Bug in keywords conversion with courier-dovecot-migrate.pl v1.1.7
by John Lightsey 22 Sep '08

22 Sep '08

The problem is the file glob on line 344 in convert_subscriptions() # read updates from the directory my %updates; foreach (<$keyword_dir/*>) { This isn't going to pick up any files beginning with a dot, so most of the update files in the courierimapkeywords directory are going to be skipped.

[Dovecot] sieve discard
by Jim Horner 19 Sep '08

19 Sep '08

Does the keyword/action discard work by default or is there something I have to do in the configuration to get to work... maybe I missed something on http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve I have the following rule: if anyof ( header :contains ["Subject"] ["Test Discard"] ) { discard; stop; } but it delivers to INBOX with or w/o the "stop;". If I change the rule to if anyof ( header :contains ["Subject"] ["Test Discard"] ) { fileinto "spam"; stop; } the message will deliver into my spam folder which makes me think I am doing something wrong with "discard". Using 1.0.2 sieve plug-in. Thanks.

[Dovecot] lately pop3 with #define DEBUG needs GDB=1

I'm not sure when this happened. In yesterday dovecot-1.1 hg if pop3 is compiled with DEBUG defined, it needs GDB=1 otherwise it ends with: Panic: Leaked file fd 4: dev 104.2 inode 3342766 Not sure if this can be caused by the fact that I call pop3 with a bash script. protocol pop3 { mail_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3.sh inside I've something like if [ x`id -un` = "xmyuser" -o x`id -un` = "xtestdovecot" ] then exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-new-test-release else exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 [..] (gdb) bt full #0 0x006ed402 in __kernel_vsyscall () No symbol table info available. #1 0x0043ed20 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 No symbol table info available. #2 0x00440631 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6 No symbol table info available. #3 0x080e44a8 in default_fatal_finish (type=LOG_TYPE_PANIC, status=0) at failures.c:150 backtrace = 0x982b160 "/usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 [0x80e4486] -> /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3(default_error_handler+0) [0x80e4506] -> /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3(i_fatal+0) [0x80e4600] -> /usr/libexec/dovecot/. #4 0x080e4506 in default_fatal_handler (type=LOG_TYPE_PANIC, status=0, format=0x810f568 "Leaked file fd %d: dev %s.%s inode %s", args=0xbfee57a4 "\004") at failures.c:162 No locals. #5 0x080e4600 in i_panic (format=0x810f568 "Leaked file fd %d: dev %s.%s inode %s") at failures.c:197 args = 0xbfee57a4 "\004" #6 0x080e519d in fd_debug_verify_leaks (first_fd=4, last_fd=1024) at fd-close-on-exec.c:71 addr = {family = 58360, u = {ip6 = {in6_u = {u6_addr8 = "\225ï¿½\017\b\a\000\000\000ï¿½XGDï¿½ï¿½\017\b", u6_addr16 = {58005, 2063, 7, 0, 22776, 17479, 58362, 2063}, u6_addr32 = {135258773, 7, 1145526520, 135259130}}}, ip4 = {s_addr = 135258773}}} raddr = {family = 2, u = {ip6 = {in6_u = {u6_addr8 = "\031^ï¿½ï¿½Yï¿½ï¿½Xï¿½\005\021D", u6_addr16 = {24089, 49134, 23028, 49134, 22744, 49134, 4357, 68}, u6_addr32 = {3220069913, 3220068852, 3220068568, 4460805}}}, ip4 = {s_addr = 3220069913}}} port = 4274100 rport = 3220068600 st = {st_dev = 26626, __pad1 = 0, __st_ino = 3342766, st_mode = 33152, st_nlink = 1, st_uid = 0, st_gid = 0, st_rdev = 0, __pad2 = 0, st_size = 6654265, st_blksize = 4096, st_blocks = 13032, st_atim = { tv_sec = 1221681411, tv_nsec = 0}, st_mtim = {tv_sec = 1221683098, tv_nsec = 0}, st_ctim = {tv_sec = 1221683098, tv_nsec = 0}, st_ino = 3342766} old_errno = 9 #7 0x0805c817 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfee5994, envp=0xbfee599c) at main.c:257 No locals.
