[Dovecot] Moving to dovecot
by Ian C. Quorn 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

We're in the process of moving to Dovecot. We're currently running UW-IMAP live with Dovecot 1.0rc7 on alternate ports for testing. We're set to switch to Dovecot tomorrow morning, and I'm sure I'll have lots of stupid questions once that happens. So I guess you can consider this message an introduction as well as a preemptive apology. Our setup: our mailserver is a SunFire 880 running solaris 8. Inboxes are stored in /var/mail, home directories are in /home. Mailboxes are mbox. Both /home and /var/mail are NFS-mounted from a NetApp filer. Indexes are stored in /dovecot (this is a partition on local disk). We have about 500 users accesing their mail on this server. Supported clients are Outlook, Mac Mail, and Thunderbird (both PC and Mac). Many people access their mail via webmail (IMP Horde) instead of or in addition to using a normal client. We also have a few people who use Pine. Authentication is against the local shadow file. Given this setup, do the following config lines seem sane? login_process_per_connection = no login_max_connections = 256 default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/dovecot/%u namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } # for backwards compatibility: namespace private { separator = / prefix = mail/ hidden = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = ~/mail/ hidden = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = ~%u/mail/ hidden = yes } mail_read_mmaped = no mmap_disable = no mmap_no_write = no lock_method = fcntl mbox_read_locks = dotlock mbox_write_locks = dotlock imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle tb-extra-mailbox-sep pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh The namespace stuff came from http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces - it was listed as a way to allow backwards-compatability with UW-IMAP. So, anything there look like a bad idea? Any other config parameters I might want to tweak, tune, or otherwise take a look at? So far dovecot's been pretty much trouble-free in our testing. But I have noticed some error messages in the logs. Anyone know what these mean? Are they anything I should panic over? dovecot: Sep 25 09:34:19 Error: IMAP(cliftoja): UIDVALIDITY changed (1034876030 -> 1159201281) in mbox file /home/wcts/cliftoja/mail/Common installation codes dovecot: Sep 25 09:50:24 Error: IMAP(cliftoja): UIDVALIDITY changed (1156881790 -> 1159202005) in mbox file /home/wcts/cliftoja/mail/Junk dovecot: Sep 25 10:04:01 Error: imap-login: Master sent reply with unknown tag 180 dovecot: Sep 25 10:04:01 Error: child 1078 (login) returned error 89 dovecot: Sep 25 10:18:58 Error: login: tried to change state 0 -> 44 (if you can't login at all, see src/lib/fdpass.c) Thanks in advance, and here's to (hopefully) a trouble-free Dovecot migration (hey, it can't be worse than UW-IMAP).

[Dovecot] support for UW-style mbox
by T. Horsnell 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hi, The dovecot docs say that support for the automatic appending of /var/spool/mail to a ~user/mbox (as is done by UW-IMAP) may be implemented in the near future. Is this still the case? And if so, is it far off? Cheers, Terry.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0.rc7 ioloop-poll.c assertion failed after SIGHUP
by Chris Wakelin 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Anybody else seen this one? We're running Dovecot 1.0.rc7 on a different port on our live server (we're generally live with 1.0.beta5) and after a HUP to reload the user database (in a passwd-file) this morning we got:- > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Info: IMAP 14482 someuser xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx : Disconnected in IDLE > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Warning: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: No route to host [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Error: Login process died too early - shutting down > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Panic: file ioloop-poll.c: line 105 (io_loop_handle_remove): assertion failed: (index >= 0 && (unsigned int) index < ctx->fds_count) and Dovecot had died. "someuser" was me, and I'd left my Thunderbird client logged in (via IMAPS) by mistake when I hibernated my PC last night. I'd seen exactly the same assert on a test box the day before yesterday, (this time without a machine hibernating):- > dovecot: Sep 19 19:00:45 Info: imap-login: Aborted login: user=<testuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, lip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, secured > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Error: Login process died too early - shutting down > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Panic: file ioloop-poll.c: line 105 (io_loop_handle_remove): assertion failed: (index >= 0 && (unsigned int) index < ctx->fds_count) Where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is actually the test box (I was logging in from the server itself using "openssl s_client"). The thing is, I was hoping to upgrade everyone (~20,000 users) to 1.0.rc7 next Tuesday, but now I'm not so sure!

[Dovecot] Need to detect event: a user move a message to a “spam folder” (for antispam filter)
by Naefen Raphaël 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

I’m writing an immune system based antispam filter. I need to detect when a user move a message to her spam folder (to inform the filter). I I found “cmd_copy” in imap library so I detect the copy event. But at this level I wasn’t able to find info about which mail and which user copy this message. My question is: Were I can find user Info to know how is moving this message in the spam folder. Ideally if I can have information about message (content or id) will be perfect. Thanks

BUG in rc7 (and probably from much earlier). The LDA 'deliver' fails to honour any uid (%i) setting in dovecot.conf. So delivery and reading happen in different places if 'default_mail_env' uses a '%i' variant. Clearly incorrect behaviour. Attached is a draft of a patch which fixes the problem. Please could the patch be reviewed and, in some form, applied? Thanks. -- : David Lee I.T.

[Dovecot] PAM authentication problem: MD5 vs crypt
by bhayden＠umn.edu 23 Sep '06

23 Sep '06

Here's a strange one. I have Dovecot set up on Solaris 9. The auth portion of the config is straight out of the box. Using PAM. We have most users in a dbm file which is just a series of key/value pairs: key is a username, and value is a string equivalent to a shadow entry. nsswitch.conf entry: passwd files dbm. For historical reasons, some users have a classic 13-character Unix crypt password hash, while others have a 34-character MD5 hash. Here's the situation: User location pw Hash Auth succeeds/fails ---------------------------------------------- files crypt succeeds dbm crypt succeeds files MD5 succeeds dbm MD5 FAILS After two days of research, trussing, and etc, I am stumped. Does anyone have a thought? -Brian

[Dovecot] most of INBOX missing?

Greetings. I'm having an issue with dovecot that I'm hoping that someone can help me with. Most of the mail in my INBOX has mysteriously disappeared and I'd like to get it back. It's all in the ~/Maildir/cur directory and dovecot reports that 1048 messages exist when given the SELECT imap command. But Thunderbird and the SEARCH imap command only list 25 messages: [wlott@rootbeer ~]$ ls Maildir/cur | wc -l 1048 [wlott@rootbeer ~]$ MAIL=maildir:~/Maildir /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap * PREAUTH [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED NAMESPACE] Logged in as wlott x SELECT INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $MDNSent $Label1 $Forwarded Junk) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $MDNSent $Label1 $Forwarded Junk \*)] Flags permitted. * 1048 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1117080198] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 1700] Predicted next UID x OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. x SEARCH ALL * SEARCH 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 x OK Search completed.

[Dovecot] Limiting number of IMAP connections per user
by Simon L Jackson 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

Hi, Is there a way of limiting the number of IMAP connections (i.e. processes) per user? Despite asking users to set their email client settings to limit themselves to 2 connections, some still have this set to 10 or more.

[Dovecot] Incorrect GSSAPI Service Name for POP3
by Tim Steiner 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

In pop3-login/client-authenticate.c, when sasl_server_auth_begin() is called, it does so with the service name of "POP3". GSSAPI uses this service name when obtaining its service credentials. The problem is that according to http://www.iana.org/assignments/gssapi-service-names , the service name should instead be simply "pop". This causes GSSAPI authentication to fail when used with a POP3 account. I have created a small patch that corrects this problem for GSSAPI only, as I do not know if other mechanisms are affected by this. --Tim Steiner ----------------------------START PATCH---------------------------- diff -ruN dovecot-1.0.beta8/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c dovecot-1.0.beta8.new/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c --- dovecot-1.0.beta8/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c 2006-09-18 17:35:02.000000000 -0500 +++ dovecot-1.0.beta8.new/src/auth/mech-gssapi.c 2006-09-18 17:37:46.000000000 -0500 @@ -101,7 +101,11 @@ gss_name_t gss_principal; principal_name = t_str_new(128); - str_append(principal_name, t_str_lcase(request->service)); + if(strcmp(request->service, "POP3") == 0) { + str_append(principal_name, "pop"); + } else { + str_append(principal_name, t_str_lcase(request->service)); + } str_append_c(principal_name, '@'); str_append(principal_name, my_hostname); -----------------------------END PATCH-----------------------------

Is it possible to force a subscription to an IMAP folder? So that a user by default is subscribed to folder <foo> and cannot unsubscribe. -- Vegard Svanberg <vegard(a)svanberg.no> [*Takapa@IRC (EFnet)]

Currently 17 servers doing just filtering. These run Postfix, SpamAssassin, Policyd, ClamAV. > -Have you ever used perdition and if so, how does dovecot as a proxy > compare to that? Yes. Perdition requires a process per connection though, so it does not scale well. With Dovecot's proxy (and also the nginx proxy, http://sysoev.ru/en/) individual processes can handle multiple connections, and takes advantage of epoll for network events which is ideal for handling large numbers of idle IMAP connections. With Perdition we'd run at 2000 connections per server, with Dovecot we haven't it a peak yet, but expect to peak at around 15,000 - 25,000 connections per proxy server. Obviously the bigger the box, the more connections it can handle. > -Do you mind me asking these questions? Nope. Ask away. If I can't answer it I'll tell you. Bill
