[Dovecot] Log sync errors (again)
by Stephen Davies 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

As suggested earlier, I deleted all .imap directories and the log sync errors stopped - for a while. They have now returned. It seems to happen for every mailbox that gets accessed. Dovecot version 2.1.1 with pidgeonhole 3.0.0 on Mandriva Linux. Could this interfere with sieve filters? Several users have filters but none of them seem to do anything. Mar 7 09:25:51 server dovecot: imap(john): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=38708 for /home/john/Mail/INBOX/.imap/Weather Summaries/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Mar 7 09:25:51 server dovecot: imap(john): Error: Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=41576 for /home/john/Mail/INBOX/.imap/Zerna/dovecot.index: Extension header update points outside header size Cheers and thanks, Stephen -- ============================================================================= Stephen Davies Consulting P/L Voice: 08-8177 1595 Adelaide, South Australia.

[Dovecot] Master Users
by Kelsey Cummings 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

I have a setup where I need to use a Master User account to login on behalf of users normally authed via PAM. Is there any existing mechanism that will allow master users to be wired down to specific ip address rather than having these very magic user/pass combos be valid from any random host? It would be totally acceptable to be able to say that master logins were only valid from a specific list of hosts rather than wiring specific master users to specific hosts. -- Kelsey Cummings - kgc(a)corp.sonic.net sonic.net, inc.

[Dovecot] LDAP auth_bind fails
by Pol Bettinger 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hello, I wanted to configure dovecot for using auth_bind but didn't succeed to me it seems like it does always an anonymous bind. Dovecot version 2.1.1 (I started with 2.1.0 and hoped 2.1.1 would fix it) I tried to play around with the base, pass_attrs,pass_filter to no avail but didn't succeed. Looking at a wireshark trace i only saw 7 packets and it seemed to me dovecot did only an anonymous bind. any help would appreciated Sincerely Pol Bettinger output of mail.log: Mar 6 12:16:34 Dell dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0112#011CRAM-MD5#011service=imap#011secured#011lip=192.168.16.27#011rip=192.168.16.20#011lport=993#011rport=51838 Mar 6 12:16:34 Dell dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: CONT#0112#011PDQ1NjgyMjE3NjYyMDk3NjkuMTMzMTAzMjU5NEBEZWxsPg== Mar 6 12:16:34 Dell dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: CONT<hidden> Mar 6 12:16:34 Dell dovecot: auth: Debug: password(arvi(a)arvoreen.net,192.168.16.20): passdb doesn't support credential lookups Mar 6 12:16:36 Dell dovecot: auth: Debug: client out: FAIL#0112#011user=arvi(a)arvoreen.net output of dovecot -n: # 2.1.1: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.0.0-15-generic i686 Ubuntu 11.10 ext4 auth_debug = yes auth_default_realm = arvoreen.net auth_mechanisms = plain digest-md5 cram-md5 auth_verbose = yes base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%1n/%n managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Archive { auto = create special_use = \Archive } mailbox Drafts { auto = create special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = create special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = create special_use = \Trash } prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap_pass.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { sieve = /var/sieve/%d/%1n/%n sieve_dir = /var/sieve/%d/%1n/%n } protocols = imap lmtp sieve service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/webmail.arvoreen.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/webmail.arvoreen.key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap_user.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " sieve" } output of cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap_pass.conf.ext: hosts = 127.0.0.1:389 auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = uid=%n,ou=Users,dc=arvoreen,dc=net base = ou=Users,dc=arvoreen, dc=net ldap_version = 3 olcAccess infomation: olcSuffix: dc=arvoreen,dc=net olcAccess: {0}to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange by self write by anonymou s auth by dn="cn=admin,dc=arvoreen,dc=net" write by * none olcAccess: {1}to dn.base="" by * read olcAccess: {2}to * by self write by dn="cn=admin,dc=arvoreen,dc=net" write by * read

[Dovecot] Concurrent dovecot instances on same spool?
by Jacek Osiecki 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hi all, While reading the "Multiple locations, 2 servers - planning questions..." thread, it just hit me that I was planning to do something that seems to be a bit hazardous... I am setting up an high-availability server set, which consists of two (or more) servers with common disk space, all set behind redundant hardware load balancers. At first, there will be two servers and disk space will be kept on NFS server or on both servers using DRBD+OCFS2 filesystem (what creates kind of networked RAID1 storage space). This will be done mostly to keep WWW service available in case when one of servers fails. However, if we have everything redundant, why not have the same with SMTP and POP3/IMAP? But - won't anything fail if two (or more) dovecots are accessing the same disk space, both for IMAP/POP3 and LDA/LMTP? If it is possible, that would be a good solution for the mentioned thread. If not - where are possible dangers, and are there any plans to make it possible in the future? Greetings, -- Jacek Osiecki joshua(a)ceti.pl GG:3828944 I don't want something I need.

[Dovecot] testing fts-solr?
by Jean-Daniel Beaubien 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

hi everyone, However, how can I verify that solr is working properly? Background: - I'm trying to setup 2.1 with fts_solr and eventually test maildir/mdbox. - I used the following webpage as reference to setup solr: http://www.roessner-network-solutions.com/2012/02/19/full-text-search-with-… I'm looking at /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out file, but see nothing telling me that it's being used (same for /var/log/mail.log, etc.) Any tips? Thanks

[Dovecot] \NoSelect on missing folders in LIST
by Peter Mogensen 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Hi, I noticed a difference between courier and dovecot, and I'm not sure which of them is wrong wrt. RFC3501 - if any. I have a Maildir which has been accessed by an Apple Mail client, so it got folders like: INBOX INBOX.Trash INBOX.INBOX.folder INBOX.INBOX.folder.a INBOX.INBOX.folder.b The INBOX.INBOX folder does not exist on disk and is not subscribed. Courier responds to: . list "" "*" with * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "INBOX.INBOX" But dovecot does not list that folder using "*". However, if you issue: . list "" "INBOX.%" Dovecot answers: * LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "INBOX.INBOX" This makes some clients using "*" to get the folder list ignore the folderes below "INBOX.INBOX". I know the recommended client way is to use "%", but I'm still curious about which is the correct behaviour. /Peter

[Dovecot] GSSAPI auth failing for kmail
by Mark Davies 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Hi, have dovecot 2.0.13 running fine on a NetBSD box, with lots of clients happily authenticating to it with GSSAPI. I've just updated an ArchLinux box to latest new version which has meant its switched from using heimdal to using mit krb5 and its kmail is now also slightly newer. Thunderbird successfully authenticates to dovecot from this machine but kmail now fails. Kmail reports: Unable to authenticate via GSSAPI. The server ... replied: SASL(-1): generic failure: GSSAPI Error: Invalid token was supplied (Token header is malformed or corrupt) The dovecot log reports: Feb 27 13:42:18 bats dovecot: auth: GSSAPI(mark(a)ECS.VUW.AC.NZ,130.195.5.88): Invalid base64 data in continued response Any suggestions on how to track down what specifically has changed and how to fix it? cheers mark
