[Dovecot] Can't connect to auth server at /var/run/dovecot//auth-master
by maxxfire 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hi, I'm using dovecot1.1 with postfix2.2.5; I configure dovecot.conf following the dovecot-wiki. But i doesn't work. The maillog said 'Can't connect to auth server at /var/run/dovecot//auth-master: No such file or directory' when I send a mail. my Postfix Master.cf configure: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} I just confused that why it needed to be authed again when postfix pipe the mail to dovecot. Best regards! Thanks and forgive my poor english writing.

[Dovecot] Effects of migration
by Andy Dills 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

So, to follow up to my previous thread, we just successfully migrated our NFS-based mail cluster from qmail pop, courier imap, and bincimap to dovecot 1.1rc1. Overall the transition was very smooth, the only unexpected adjustment was having to implement ntpd on each box, rather than doing an hourly ntpdate against our local ntpd server, to prevent dovecot from crashing itself from too much drift. The impact has been severe! Even with NFS-stored indexes, our netapp is seeing 1/6th of the NFS ops per second, and its CPU utilization is now at 1/3rd previous levels. The only user comment thus far was thanking us for bringing IMAP folders out from under INBOX. Dovecot is truly excellent. In my book, Timo joins Wietse Venema and Marc Martinec to form the backbone of the premiere open source mail solution. For now, praise will have to suffice. I do, however, maintain a little IOU list that I intend to fulfill at some point in the future, and Timo is now high on the list. Thanks again!

Hi all, I would like to write my own checkpassword script for dovecot. I have very little experience with C programming. My questions are: 1. Can I use php for this purpose? 2. How dovecot call checkpassword program (passes <username> NUL <password> to checkpassword)? Thank you in advance for answers. Bob

[Dovecot] Problem with Thunderbird hang, multiple retry to .Sent/.Draft
by tlum 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

I have begun havening a problem when sending or when Thunderbird tries to write copy to .Draft. Usually only happens when the message is longer. While in the Thunderbird editor will say "Copying message to Draft folder". It will try indefinitely. The copy is successful but it looks like it is believed to have failed so its retried. Same then happens when sending. Send happens but then hangs on copy to .Sent. Copy works, but apparently is not seen and just keeps getting retried. If you let it go hundreds of copies of message end up in .Sent and .Draft. Have logs from Thunderbird and rawlog but they are huge and don't want to post them to the list until after determining there is no quick answer for this behavior. dovecot --version = 1.0.rc15 dovecot -n # /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_timestamp: ¦%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S ¦ protocols: imap imaps listen: 127.0.0.1:143 ssl_listen: *:993 ssl_ca_file: /etc/pki/mydomain/mailserver/certs/class3.crt ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/mydomain/mailserver/certs/ms1srvp01.mydomain.net.crt ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/mydomain/mailserver/private/ms1srvp01.mydomain.net.key disable_plaintext_auth: yes verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_uid: 5000 last_valid_uid: 5000 mail_extra_groups: vmail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n mail_debug: yes maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes mbox_read_locks: dotlock mbox_write_locks: dotlock mail_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/rawlog /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap imap_client_workarounds: outlook-idle, tb-extra-mailbox-sep auth default: user: nobody passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: vmail mail_location: gets an override from userdb SQL lookup. /home/vmail is nfs mounted, /var/indexes is is local ext3.

[Dovecot] different mail_locations
by Antonio Casado Rodríguez 05 Mar '08

Hi all I've mounted a cluster ACTIVE-PASIVE, with the mailbox in a SAN. The user's home are: /Correo/mail/foo/home I use: Postfix, dovecot and dovecot_lda. The folder /san/mail is only show in the active node (switch the virtual ip, filesystem and daemons). How i configure dovecot mail_location?? Now i have: mail_location: maildir:/Correo/mail/%n The problem is that the admin mails in pasive node are in enqueued and not arrive. I need a user with mail_location in /var/spool/mail/foo (in aliases, root: foo)and the rest users in /Correo/mail/ I have seen override mail_executable, but it not work with dovecot_lda and postfix (local mailer).

[Dovecot] multiple namespaces, Mac OS X
by David Koski 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

After installing a new server with postfix/dovecot I found that the Mac OS X mail client does not see email in subfolders. It seemed to be related to the namespace. From dovecot.conf: namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes hidden = no } After googling I found that I might need to add a default namespace with an empty prefix so I added this: namespace private { separator = . prefix = inbox = yes hidden = no } Then I was able to access mail in subfolders using the Mac mail client. However, using Kmail I can see both namespaces, where all the folders are listed under the inbox at the same level, and where all folders are listed one level below the inbox. I don't really want to keep my "INBOX." prefix so existing accounts remain unchanged. How do I solve this? The current dovecot.conf is below.

[Dovecot] Mercurial repository

I removed "dovecot" repository for now. It was almost the same as dovecot-1.1, with the exception that I had forgotten to commit a few things there and also messed up some other commits ("oh, hg export can export multiple changesets at a time, cool. oh, hg import imported it all in one changeset, not cool."). So for now v1.2 code doesn't exist. I'll clone it again from dovecot-1.1 once I have something real to commit. Although I guess that's probably going to be pretty soon.

[Dovecot] Security issue #5: mail_extra_groups setting is often used insecurely
by Timo Sirainen 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

mail_extra_groups=mail setting is often used insecurely to give Dovecot access to create dotlocks to /var/mail directory. If you don't use mboxes in /var/mail, make sure this setting is cleared. If you do use /var/mail mboxes and Dovecot gives permission errors without it, do one of the following (in the preferred order): a) Upgrade to v1.0.11 and use the new mail_privileged_group setting instead of mail_extra_groups. b) Make /var/mail sticky and world-writable (chmod 01777 /var/mail) and clear mail_extra_groups setting. c) Make /var/mail sticky (chmod +t /var/mail) and keep mail_extra_groups setting. This fixes the main problem but some may be left. The mail_privileged_group setting is also available as a patch: http://dovecot.org/patches/1.0/dovecot-1.0.10.mail_priv_groups.diff mail_extra_groups setting has existed since Dovecot v0.99.10.6. It's never been enabled by default in the distributed dovecot-example.conf, but some distributions enable it by default (at least Debian). A longer explanation: The main problem is that if users have filesystem access to the mail server, they can create symlinks. Dovecot doesn't try to prevent following symlinks (and I don't think it should) and normally it isn't a problem. But when mail_extra_groups=mail is set: 1a) Maildir: Any files readable by mail group can be read by the user by symlinking the file to their ~/Maildir/cur/. 1b) Any mbox files readable by mail group can be read by the user by symlinking the mbox file to their ~/mail/ directory. These are pretty obvious problems and I didn't think they were all that important. Why would anyone have secret files that are mail group-readable? But apparently those do exist in some systems (maybe accidentally). 2a) mbox: Any files/directories under mail group-writable directories can be created/deleted/renamed by symlinking the directory under ~/mail/. For example ln -s /var/mail ~/mail/var, DELETE var/root will happily delete root's mailbox. This I hadn't thought about before. 2b) Maildir: Pretty much the same thing can be done with maildir but with a little less control. mail_privileged_group setting works by keeping the group in process's saved GID while it's not in use and temporarily switching it to effective GID while dotlocks are created. Currently this is done only when: 1. It's only done for INBOX mbox which doesn't exist under the same location as other mailboxes (so typically under /var/mail). 2. It's used only after initial dotlock creation try failed with EACCES error.

[Dovecot] constant mailbox rebuilding with dovecot 1.0.10
by Philip J. Hollenback 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

I've recently upgraded to 1.0.10 in hopes that this problem would go away but no luck. I've got some users at my company with large inboxes on maildir (say 22,000 messages). Their mailboxes are hosted on nfs and dovecot is configured to do dotlocking. Still I see messages like this continually in the logs (sometimes every hour or so): server dovecot: IMAP(user): dotlock /home/user/Maildir/dovecot.index.log.lock was immediately recreated under us server dovecot: IMAP(user): file_dotlock_create() failed with file /home/user/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory server dovecot: IMAP(user): Our dotlock file /home/user/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist.lock was overridden (kept it 0 secs) server dovecot: IMAP(user): Duplicate file in uidlist file /home/user/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist: 1162416499.010493.mbox:2,Sa server dovecot: IMAP(user): Maildir /home/user/Maildir sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox (48573 > 1, file = 1162416499.010493.mbox:2,Sa) or this: server dovecot: IMAP(user): dotlock /home/user/Maildir/dovecot.index.log.lock was immediately recreated under us server dovecot: IMAP(user): file_dotlock_create() failed with file /home/user/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory server dovecot: IMAP(user): Duplicate file in uidlist file /home/user/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist: 1167674195.83666_2.tandoori.schrodinger.com:2,Sklwv server dovecot: IMAP(user): Maildir /home/user/Maildir sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox (34969 > 1, file = 1167674195.83666_2.server.com:2,Sklwv) server dovecot: IMAP(user): Corrupted transaction log file /home/user/Maildir/dovecot.index.log.2: invalid indexid (1204046496 != 1204055346) it seems that every time this sort of thing happens the mail client (thunderbird) sits and rebuilds it's mailbox info for as long as 20-30 minutes, during which time it is unusable. I suspect this happens with other users as well but since they have smaller inboxes they don't notice the long delays. Also this is not linked to version 1.0.10, I've been seeing on and off with the previous version (1.0rc17). Here's the 'dovecot -n' output. I should add that the default is for users to use mbox but some users (like the above one) use maildir via a separate dovecot.passwd file.

04 Mar '08

http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.11.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/1.0/dovecot-1.0.11.tar.gz.sig * mail_extra_groups setting was commonly used insecurely. This setting is now deprecated. Most users should switch to using mail_privileged_group setting, but if you really need the old functionality use mail_access_groups instead. - mbox: Dropped some of the physical size fetch optimizations added in v1.0.8. This makes some commands slower, but should fix the rest of the problems. - IMAP: SEARCH BEFORE/ON/SINCE didn't handle timezones correctly. - ldap: auth_bind was doing lookups using subtree scope instead of the scope specified in config file. - zlib plugin crashfixes by Richard Platel - master passdbs: pass=yes setting was broken with blocking passdbs (e.g. MySQL)

[Dovecot] Missing IMAP folders
by Willem Jan Withagen 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hi, I'm fresh starting to use dovecot. Before this I used bincimap, mainly because it was very simple to config. I've tried to find the FAQ's and tried searching the archives, but little came up. My current config: server FreeBSD i386, postfix 2.4 dovecot 1.0.10 client: windows 2000 thunderbird 2.0.0.12 after some inital config this starts up, and I even have the advantage that I can save in the Sent folder on the server. However I have over 3500 folders and most of them are more than 3 levels deep. And I only get to see the first top level of directories. Searching and/or subscribing does not bring anything. Does somebody have pointers on how to fix this, other than manually trying to recreate al subscriptions. --WjW

[Dovecot] Index corruption with squirrelmail.
by "Fábio M. Catunda" 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi. I don't know if the problem is related with squirrelmail or not, but I started to have index corruption when I started to try squirrelmail. Some informaton about my instalation: dovecot 1.0.5-1 debian package with maildir squirrelmail 1.4.9a-2 debian package Some log information: dovecot: 2008-02-27 08:39:39 Warning: IMAP(<please don't send spam to me>): fscking index file /var/virtual/contactnet.com.br/fcatunda/Maildir/dovecot.index dovecot: 2008-02-27 08:39:39 Error: IMAP(<please don't send spam to me>): Unexpected transaction log desync with index /var/virtual/contactnet.com.br/fcatunda/Maildir/dovecot.index I'm not pretty sure, but it looks like that if I keep my thunderbird open, receive a message and a rule move the message from INBOX to some other folder and then, finally, I try to login in squirrelmail I reveive a message like this: Query: EXPUNGE And in my log file the above message appears. I already deleted dovecot.* files, but the error ocurred again. Any suggestion? Thanks!
