[Dovecot] sieve /editheader / addheader :last crash
by Peter Rindfuss 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi Everybody, I'm using dovecot 2.1.14 from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ with debian squeeze stable. In general, sieve works fine for me, but "addheader :last ..." from the editheader extension causes a crash when it processes a message. I was able to narrow this down a bit: It only happens if "addheader :last" is the first editheader command executed in a script. If it is preceded by any "deleteheader" or "addheader" without ":last", everything is fine. This is what I get from sieve-test when it crashes: sieve-test(root): Panic: file istream.c: line 133 (i_stream_read): assertion failed: (_stream->skip != _stream->pos) sieve-test(root): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4881a) [0x7f5e0b37681a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x32) [0x7f5e0b376902] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7f5e0b349f7f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x17c) [0x7f5e0b37da9c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x51453) [0x7f5e0b37f453] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x5150e) [0x7f5e0b37f50e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x69) [0x7f5e0b37d989] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x53fe1) [0x7f5e0b381fe1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x69) [0x7f5e0b37d989] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read_data+0x52) [0x7f5e0b37dc72] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_stream_copy+0x41) [0x7f5e0b38ae21] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x5e1de) [0x7f5e0b38c1de] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(o_stream_send_istream+0x33) [0x7f5e0b38acb3] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_save_continue+0x38) [0x7f5e0be0caf8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_storage_copy+0xb8) [0x7f5e0be376d8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_copy+0x56) [0x7f5e0be086c6] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_copy+0x4a) [0x7f5e0be3ce9a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(+0x3fa66) [0x7f5e0c103a66] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(+0x366b4) [0x7f5e0c0fa6b4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_result_execute+0x3ff) [0x7f5e0c0fabef] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_execute+0x56) [0x7f5e0c10b456] -> sieve-test(main+0x73e) [0x403a5e] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f5e0abdec8d] -> sieve-test() [0x403219] Aborted Best regards Peter

Re: [Dovecot] IMAP folders sort order

But I tried to create a fresh account in Dovecot (not migrated from Courier), and it still shows a intermixed folder order: a list "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Pub" a OK List completed. So, it is not a migration problem -- note that it is the LIST command output, so it is not got influenced by some IMAP client folder searchlist/mask or its namespace settings (like in Thunderbird) WBR, valery

[Dovecot] patch for crash while FTS-searching through virtual mailbox
by Mike Abbott 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

FTS-searching through a virtual mailbox crashes dovecot-2.1.15 when the FTS backend does not support lookup_multi. src/plugins/fts/fts-api.h says for fts_backend_lookup() that "The arrays in result must be initialized by caller." FTS backends can therefore assume that the arrays are initialized by their caller. However, fts_backend_lookup_multi() does not initialize the per-box arrays before calling the FTS backend’s lookup function. This patch fixes the resulting crash. --- dovecot-2.1.15/src/plugins/fts/fts-api.c 2012-08-03 09:09:28.000000000 -0500 +++ dovecot/src/plugins/fts/fts-api.c 2013-02-28 14:35:43.000000000 -0600 @@ -337,8 +337,12 @@ result->box_results = p_new(result->pool, struct fts_result, i+1); for (i = 0; boxes[i] != NULL; i++) { + struct fts_result *box_result = &result->box_results[i]; + p_array_init(&box_result->definite_uids, result->pool, 32); + p_array_init(&box_result->maybe_uids, result->pool, 32); + p_array_init(&box_result->scores, result->pool, 32); if (backend->v.lookup(backend, boxes[i], args, - and_args, &result->box_results[i]) < 0) + and_args, box_result) < 0) return -1; } return 0;

[Dovecot] header brakage on sieve redirect ?
by Lazy 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hi all, In the sieve file require ["copy"]; redirect :copy "asdf(a)asd.pl"; emails with headers containing \n in non terminated " field like Cc: xxx <xxx(a)plus.pl>, "asd, Grzegorz " <xxxxx(a)nsn.com> Subject: RE: RF after redirecting them Cc: xxx <xxx(a)plus.pl>, "asd,\ \ Grzegorz " <xxxxx(a)nsn.com> Subject: RE: RF mail delivered locally by dovecot-lda is unaltered lack of space before second \ brakes the headers. I'm investigating if this isn't cosed by qmail-inject, but my first suspect is sieve. dovecot 2.0.13, sieve 0.3.3, dovecot-delivery is used as an exclusive lda for qmail Regards, Michal Grzedzicki

[Dovecot] Public free (libre) mailbox hosting service for everybody!
by אנטולי קרס נר 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hello e-mail software developers and users! I'd like to ask all of you a question. And of course hear relevant opinion. I've been using free software happily for a few years, and I found free/open source alternatives for many popular proprietary tools such as Facebook, Dropbox, Micro$oft Windows & Office, Youtube, Skype and many many others. Some of the alternatives are probably known to some of you, while others are still unknown to many. But I couldn't find a replacement to mailbox hosting. I'm using a Gmail mailbox and I hate it. So many free and open source mail servers and I still use Gmail, a closed-source service (which also probably tracks all my data, including Google searches I do, and uses it for all kinds of statistics and advertising, but that's another issue). So I asked myself, why is there no mailbox hosting service which respects user freedom? I sent an e-mail to the Free Software Foundation, and got a suggestion to ask all of you: do you know any free (libre) mail server out there? If you do, please inform me, and the whole free software community, developers and users. I couldn't find any. If nobody else finds any either, the plan is to start a new server. There are so many server tools and programs, like the ones you use and develop. It's just like hosting a Git repository or videos of pictures for the masses. We can do it with e-mail too. Q: Why don't I start my own personal server? A: I'm a programmer and I can do it - with some effort, but I can. The problem is not me. The problem is that all the non-programmer and non-technical users can't. And they shouldn't. We tech people can, and should, run such servers for everybody. For all users who want their basic freedoms respected. Another question to tech people: I'm not an expert in e-mail software, so I'm not really sure setting up a server is as easy as all other online services we get, such as Diaspora (facebook replacement), MediaGoblin (Youtube replacement), Gitorious (git repo hosting). Is there a technical issue preventing people from running a mail server, or it's just a matter of having enough money to run it, and the necessary technical skills (which many of you probably have). If it's possible, we'll do it. Also, if users had to pay for such a service, it would be okay. I don't mind paying for my free software stack. I'd actually find it a way to contribute back to the people and projects which deserve it. The point is not money; such a service can get funds. The point if FREEDOM. Waiting for response and opinions from you, my fellow free software community members, Anatoly Krasner Free software enthusiast/activist Israel

[Dovecot] Real-time sync using dsync
by Nikolaos Milas 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hi, Can we use dsync to achieve *continuous* (real-time) sync between two servers (Mirror mode)? Running in such a "continuous" dsync mode, we would replicate two servers to one another continuously, so that the two would be concurrently available/accessible/useable (as POP3/IMAP servers), and getting synced in real time. Is this possible? (If yes, I think it would be much easier to setup such an architecture, rather that resorting to shared file systems, network-based storage etc.) Thanks, Nick

In Courier, we had 'INBOX.' namespace prefix and '.' as a separator. Now we have empty prefix and a '/' as a separator. So, the settings are as follows: namespace { location = maildir:/usr/mailsuite/data/%d/%n type = private separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } But I used the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script from Timo, as recommended. Where might be the traces of Courier (namespace settings etc.) remained? It seems that Courier and Dovecot use separate sets of files in user mailbox. Maybe, the migrate script expects the settings to be prefix = 'INBOX.' and separator = '.', what we don't want, so, we must modify the migrate script to change namespace settings when migrating?

[Dovecot] IMAP folders sort order
by Valery V. Sedletski 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hi all We migrated our IMAP server from Courier to Dovecot. The minor problem appeared: Dovecot LIST command now shows mailbox listing in some weird order. (I suppose, it is filesystem directory order) Previously, with Courier, it was sorted, i.e., the INBOX was the first, followed by other system folders. This is not a problem with our webmail, because it sorts folders by its own. But with some IMAP clients, we have folders intermixed. Is there a way to influence the folder sort order in Dovecot? WBR, valery
