[Dovecot] Quota warnings not being sent
by Nikolaos Milas 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hello, I am running dovecot-2.0.13-1_128.el5 x86_64 RPM on CentOS 5.7 with the config shown below. All accounts are virtual, hosted on LDAP Server. My problem is that the quota warning mail is not sent as expected. For example, in the logs I get: Dec 12 08:42:40 vmail dovecot: lda(imaptester): Error: quota: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/quota-warning) failed: Permission denied (euid=500(vmail) egid=500(vmail) missing +r perm: /var/run/dovecot/quota-warning, euid is not dir owner) Here is /var/run/dovecot/: # ls -la /var/run/dovecot/ total 32 drwxr-xr-x 4 root dovecot 4096 Dec 9 21:27 . drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Dec 14 12:27 .. srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 9 21:27 anvil srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 9 21:27 anvil-auth-penalty srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 9 21:27 auth-client srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Dec 9 21:27 auth-login srw-rw---- 1 vmail vmail 0 Dec 9 21:27 auth-master srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 9 21:27 auth-userdb srw------- 1 dovecot root 0 Dec 9 21:27 auth-worker srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 9 21:27 config srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 9 21:27 dict srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 9 21:27 director-admin srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dec 9 21:27 dns-client srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 9 21:27 doveadm-server lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Dec 9 21:27 dovecot.conf -> /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 17 2011 empty drwxr-x--- 2 root dovenull 4096 Dec 9 21:27 login -rw------- 1 root root 5 Dec 9 21:27 master.pid srw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 9 21:27 quota-warning Follows my config (at the end of this message).

[Dovecot] Two recent issues
by Brad Schuetz 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

I've been using dovecot for years, been working great. However recently I've come across two issues. The first issue unfortunately I have little information on, mail_debug hasn't provided anything useful either (in fact it looks like the login request that fails doesn't even get logged at all). During the morning rush of email, this server has around 11k mailboxes on it, it *appears* that one of the auth processes dies resulting in "dovecot: imap-login: Error: read(imap) failed: Connection reset by peer" errors followed by "dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure ..." in the logs. I've yet to get any useful debugging information on this error so I'm not expecting much/any help on this one, but if anyone has any ideas on how I can get more debug besides running strace 24/7 in the hopes it catches something before the hard drive is full of strace output I'd love to hear it. The best I've gotten was a lucky strace once (at the time I didn't realize it was so lucky or I would have saved the output) that indicated the imap-login daemon was failing to connect to the auth process. The second issue is lmtp/lda (tried both) delivery to a mailbox that has filesystem quotas enabled and the group quota is maxed is resulting in the below panic and crash. This issue happens with 2.0.13, 2.0.15 and 2.0.16. Here's the logs showing that it knows the disk quota is exceeded and then a subsequent zlib panic. Like it's trying to deliver it anyway. --------------------- 11:21:07 [err] dovecot: lmtp(29691, admin(a)[redacted].com) Error: o_stream_send_istream(/email/d/r/[redacted]/[redacted]/admin/Maildir/tmp/1323458467.M245978P29691.fenrir.omnis.com) failed: Disk quota exceeded 11:21:07 [crit] dovecot: lmtp(29691, admin(a)[redacted].com) Panic: file ostream-zlib.c: line 144 (o_stream_zlib_send_flush): assertion failed: (zs->avail_in == 0) 11:21:07 [err] dovecot: lmtp(29691, admin(a)[redacted].com) Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x345443ca90] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x345443cae6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0x345443c4a3] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_zlib_plugin.so [0x2ba2d31547f6] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib20_zlib_plugin.so [0x2ba2d315481b] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(o_stream_flush+0x2a) [0x345444f0ea] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_save_finish+0x6b) [0x3451c63b6b] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so [0x2ba2d2f4ce7a] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_save_finish+0x30) [0x3451c2fbb0] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_storage_copy+0xb3) [0x3451c2aae3] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_copy+0x56) [0x3451c6fd36] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so [0x2ba2d2f4d0ba] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_copy+0x5a) [0x3451c301ba] -> /usr/lib64/dovecot/li 11:21:07 [err] dovecot: master: Error: service(lmtp): child 29691 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) --------------------- Attached is the current "doveadm config" output. -- Brad Schuetz

Re: [Dovecot] Questions about single intance storage

Hello Timo. If we can not safely restore from backup a user's mailbox with SiS enabled, we can not enable SiS. Any plan to include this backup recovery tool in dovecot 2.0.X or 2.1? Regards Maria > 5º We use bacula to save indexes & mdboxes, and we recover mailboxes using doveadm import when a user "makes a fatal mistake" wiping all her Inbox. If we enable SiS I am not really sure how can we safely restore a user's INBOX if that user has SiS attachments. Hm. Yes, that is problematic.. Even if you knew what SIS files were used, there's no simple way to restore those with proper refcounts. I think what really should be done is writing a tool that can create/restore backups, possibly de-SISing the attachments..

[Dovecot] Saving archive copy of all mail sent/received w/Dovecot+Postfix?
by Andrew M 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

I'm running Dovecot 2.0.15 and Postfix 2.7.7 with postfix handing off to Dovecot's LDA. I am hosting multiple virtual domains with multiple users and everything is working. I would now like to create a permanent archive of all sent/received mail with each virtual user's mail saved to its own sent file and received file. This needs to be independent of the user's regular Maildir store since he can't delete or modify the permanent archive. Any suggestions on how to best accomplish this either via postfix or dovecot? Postfix has in main.cf virtual_transport = dovecot and in master.cf dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=virtual:virtual argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot /dovecot-lda -d ${recipient} -f ${sender} dovecot uses this: [root@xxx andrew]# dovecot -n # 2.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.35.14-103.fc14.x86_64 x86_64 Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5 disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { args = scheme=plain username_format=%u /etc/postfix/passwd driver = passwd-file } protocols = imap lmtp service auth { inet_listener { port = 12345 } unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0666 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/tls/certs/xxx.com.crt ssl_key = </etc/pki/tls/private/xxx.com.key userdb { args = username_format=%u uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n driver = static } Thanks, Andrew

[Dovecot] mail_max_userip_connections=10
by Tom Clark 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hi, A couple of questions rather than a problem for once! We've got our Dovecot server running smoothly now apart from our MD. He's having problems with mail_max_userip_connections. He has 3 (Phone/Laptop/Tablet) items that all connect to the server at about the same time. Which means he's frequently running over the max_userip_connections. My questions are: Is there anyway of whitelisting an IP so that it can ignore mail_max_userip_connections=10? What should we set mail_max_userip_connections too realistically? 10 seems a bit low? Thanks Tom

[Dovecot] question regarding postfixadmin
by oni-neko＠gmx.net 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Hello! I hope someone here is already using postfixadmin with dovecot and can help me out =) the install-readme for postfixadmin mentions, that the mail-home should be set to default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%u/ but my dovecot is already installed and working with another config, namely mail_location = maildir:/var/dovecotmail/%n/Maildir. Do i have to change this, or is postfixadmin able to read this or can i set this value in postfixadmin somewhere? i´d rather avoid moving all mailfolders around just because of that, and unfortunately the paths don´t really lend themself to an easy solution via symlink ^_^ thanks for any replies best regards sil -- Empfehlen Sie GMX DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 50,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.gmx.de
