[Dovecot] 1.0rc8 status report
by David Lee 12 Oct '06

12 Oct '06

A quick status report on how 1.0rc8 behaved in service for a few hours with several hundred simultaneous users, at a site very new to dovecot. Oh, and a question at the end. Summary: Reasonable for a first shot but one significant problem, requiring backing off. Background: We have a long-established UW-IMAP service for a user population of about 20,000 based on a few Linux (Redhat) machines running IMAP/POP and inbound delivery. We try to ensure, but cannot guarantee, that all activity for a given user takes place within one machine. Each machine mounts the INBOX area ("/var/spool/mail"; traditional UNIX mbox) via NFS with tight NFS arguments ("noac,actimeo=0", etc.) and similarly mounts the users' folder areas which are subdirs of their home directories. (We know that Mark Crispin recommends against NFS for UW-IMAP, but we seem to have been OK.) There is also some processing: .forward->"| procmail"->folder-or-inbox Each machine typically has several hundred simultaneous IMAP connections. This has basically worked well, but the UW-IMAP loading has been heavy. The plan: In an ideal world, I would like to restructure the above. But our world is not ideal, so we have to stay with the structure. But we are looking for a transparent (user perspective) migration to dovecot. The dovecot experience: Yesterday, I quietly adjusted a DNS entry to redirect one of the live email hostnames at an additional machine in the "farm", running dovecot 1.0rc8, including deliver/LDA (and taking into account some post-rc7 dovecot changes in this area). On an earlier, smaller-scale test, one problem had been some periods of "temporary authentication failures". Increasing "login_processes_count" and "login_max_processes_count" (each by a factor of 8) seems to have fixed this, and I'm not aware of any problems in that area yesterday. It basically went well. But just over two hours hours later I had to back off, because of a significant dovecot problem, namely that dovecot crashed, almost silently. The only traces of this event in the log file seem to be: Oct 10 16:26:12 [...] dovecot: child 24525 (login) returned error 89 Oct 10 16:26:14 [...] dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down Any thoughts? Any fixes? If the problem needs debugging (or additional data/log collection) how might that be attempted in this environment? -- : David Lee I.T.

[Dovecot] Issues with Dovecot/Pam/nss_ldap
by Ejay Hire 12 Oct '06

12 Oct '06

Hello all. I have experienced an unusual behaviour from dovecot which I believe to be related to some interaction between dovecot and nss_ldap/Pam. Centos/Postfix/mbox(es)/Openldap/dovecot. The box is using PAM with ldap, and is also running BIND, SAMBA, and DHCPD. Dovecot 1.0rc2 from source. I left dovecot at the default, to use PAM for authentication and guess the mailbox. This worked well, except during peak times, dovecot would "hang", waiting an exceptionally long time after connecting before doing authentication. The users would report this as "Send/receive stuck on 64%" or something like that. During this time, I would note a number of <defunct> dovecot processes in ps. Increasing the number of idle login proceses in the pool to ridiculously high values (30) did not affect the symptom. Restarting dovecot would immediately resolve the issue. I believe this to be related somehow to dovecot's PAM interaction, because I was able to work around it by setting dovecot to talk directly to LDAP. Googling found isolated reports of similar behaviour in the Fedora Core 3 bug list at Redhat. It's rare I can help in project as important as dovecot, so I'm willing to spend some time tracking this down. What information can I provide to help? Thanks Ejay Hire

[Dovecot] Fwd: Received dates problem in Outlook after migration
by James Wyper 12 Oct '06

12 Oct '06

Having looked at this again, I think I have a hypothesis: 1. Outlook is ignoring the date/timestamps on the files in my Maildirs 2. The file names of my transferred files follow a similar pattern (they start with near-identical numbers) 3. Dovecot's file naming scheme for mails must relate somehow to the date that they were created / transferred / received 4. If I can therefore **rename** the files correctly to reflect their sending date then I can fix my problem Does this make sense? Can anyone point me in the direction of a spec that says how Dovecot names its files? Thanks, James. --- James Wyper wrote: > Date: Sun, 1 Oct 2006 21:47:02 +0100 (BST) > From: James Wyper > To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org > Subject: [Dovecot] Received dates problem in Outlook after migration > > Hello everyone, > > I've just started using 1.0-beta3 on Ubuntu Dapper, having migrated > from an mbox / UW-IMAP combination to a Maildir / Dovecot one.

I believe that when login_max_processes_count is reached (the default is 128) Dovecot is crashing rather than handling that condition semi gracefully. The reason I think this is because we have a cluster of servers that do search indexing for our IMAP mailboxes, and due to a bug this week, those servers started slamming one of our IMAP servers with rapid login failures. Dovecot crashed frequently with "Login process died too early - shutting down" while this was occurring. And then also under normal operation we were seeing Dovecot crash about once per day on random servers when that server was under a heavy IMAP load. To work around this we switched to "login_process_per_connection = no" and bumped up our file descritor limit ("ulimit -n"). No crashes since. But probably still needs to be fixed in the code. Bill

HI. I just finished installing a new mail server running CentOS Ver 4. and I am running sendmail with devecot 0.99.11. Everything is working fine except for a customer of mine is using a tool that does pop requests. And his tool is failing waiting on a CR LF in the +OK. I did a small hex dump of my old pop and the dovecot pop and he is right. Docevot POP does not end its +OK with a CR LF. I looked around but I don't see where I can make that change.

[Dovecot] Problems with LDA and vitual mailboxes
by Daniel Frickemeier 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Hello, I try to set up dovecot LDA with virtual domains/mailboxes to use sieve. I use dovecot 1.0_rc7 with sieve dovecot-sieve-20060726 . All datas about the virtual domains and mailboxes are stored in a mysql-database. And without using the LDA delifer agent, everything works fine. But when I try to use LDA (even without sieve), I got a delivery failture. I followed the wiki-howto http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA to set up LDA support and added /etc/postfix/maser.cf: # Dovecot LDA dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} /etc/postfix/main.cf: dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 virtual_transport = dovecot for postfix. In dovecot.conf I added: auth default { # Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms: # plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous gssapi mechanisms = plain login # SQL database passdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql.conf for example args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } # SQL database userdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql.conf for example args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot-auth-master # use this for LDA, the dovecot-auth will NOT work mode = 0600 user = virtual #group = mail # Or alternatively mode 0660 + LDA user in this group } client { path = /var/run/dovecot-auth # use this for postfix mode = 0600 user = posfix # postfix user #group = mail # Or alternatively mode 0660 + postfix user in this group } } } protocol lda { log_path = /var/tmp/dovecot-lda.log { And in dovecot-sql # Dataabase driver: mysql, pgsql driver = mysql # Currently supported schemes include PLAIN, PLAIN-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, and CRYPT. default_pass_scheme = CRYPT #default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5 # Database options connect = host=localhost dbname=$DB user=$USER password=$PASSWD password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' user_query = SELECT maildir, 1002 AS uid, 1004 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' # eof But when I send a mail to a vitual user, I got the following log entries in mail.log: Oct 11 08:40:38 server postfix/pipe[11673]: D39A5664420: to=<zigulle(a)zigulle.de>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.08, delays=0.06/0/0/0.03, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure) and in /var/tmp/dovecot-lda.log: deliver(zigulle(a)zigulle.de): Error: userdb(zigulle(a)zigulle.de) didn't return a home directory has anyone here a hint, where the Problem ist? cu Daniel -- TELEKOM-Mitarbeiter, die keine TELEKOM-Aktien kaufen, sollten wegen Verwendung von Insider-Wissen bestraft werden.

[Dovecot] How Dovecot handles email changed by file operations
by Craig Jackson 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

Hi, We have been using Courier-imap for a few years. I am always in the process of reviewing competing software, and hence my interest in Dovecot. Question: If email files are moved between IMAP folders (on the same IMAP server or a different one) or deleted using shell scripts, how does this impact Dovecot's indexes or its method of keeping track of the email? How likely is index or file corruption or race condition? An example, is the centralized removal of mail in all users' Junk folder older than 30 days. We use Maildir format and Dovecot 1.0-RC7 with Mysql. We have about 150 users. Thanks. Craig

[Dovecot] POP3 - Mark messages as read
by Jose Gervasio Gomiz 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

Hi all. I have a little problem with Dovecot. My POP3 users can retrieve their emails without problem, but if they have "Leave mail in server" (or similar) active in their clients, their mboxes doesn't get updated marking those messages as read. If I access their mboxes locally with "mail -f username" I can see every message marked as non-read, something that never happened before when I used qpopper. I should note that when they retrieve their emails afterwards those previously received doesn't arrive again (correct behavior). My setup is: RHEL 4 Update 4 dovecot-0.99.11-4.EL4 (last version in RH Updates) mbox format, external POP3, local only IMAP (Squirrelmail) I couldn't find references to this in /etc/dovecot.conf, the FAQ or via web searching. Should I upgrade to dovecot-1.x to solve this? Even if RH doesn't support it yet? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Jose Gomiz

[Dovecot] RC8 failing...

I just tried upgrading from RC7 to RC8 this morning, and I'm seeing an issue I've never seen before. On my first POP3 login, all is fine, but any subsequent logins seem to fail with the message: dovecot: Oct 10 11:04:31 Error: Maximum number of mail processes exceeded In the dovecot log file. I'm also oddly seeing the message: Oct 10 11:01:05 popbkup pop3-login: [ID 799321 mail.crit] Dovecot version mismatch: Master is v1.0.rc7, login is v1.0.rc8 (if you don't care, set version_ignore=yes) in the messages file on my system. Don't really understand that one, and I've done a complete shutdown of all dovecot or *-login *-auth processes prior to the "make install" for RC8. The only possible config file change I can think of that might've caused this (that was mentioned in the release notes for RC8) is the default_mail_env value, however, I believe mine is fine: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%1u/%1.1u/%u This is for an actual mailbox with a two character hash for the maildrop directory. I was looking forward to giving RC8 a spin, but I've had to revert back to RC7 for now.

If a mail folder contains quotes, the IMAP server may respond with a line like: 1 list "" "a/b/"X" Y Z" The specific example I saw had this exact form (it was in a nested folder, and one of the words was quoted). -- Anthony Kay University Computing Center (541) 346-1719 GPG Fingerprint: B0DB D46A 60AF FAE7 A94A 5075 0CB4 4D88 9F4F 7F09 Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it. - Richard Feynman

Timo: As discussed over the last couple of days. Please could the attached patch be applied to "deliver.c" so that it can log (syslog etc.) final delivery into the destination mailbox. This completes a hitherto missing part in logging an email's progress; it is useful (for example) to diagnose "my email wasn't delivered" problems. Thanks. -- : David Lee I.T.
