[Dovecot] beta6 mdbox errors
by Mike Abbott 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Dovecot-2.0.beta6 sometimes terminates client connections and reports these errors: Error: Corrupted dbox file /Volumes/Mail/joe/storage/m.1 (around offset=6216579): msg header has bad magic value Error: Corrupted dbox file /Volumes/Mail/joe/storage/m.1 (around offset=6216579): uid=0 points to broken data at offset=6216579 Warning: mdbox /Volumes/Mail/joe/storage: rebuilding indexes (I set mdbox_rotate_size = 200M.) These did not appear with beta5.

[Dovecot] More Dovecot 2.0 permissions issues
by Tim Traver 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi Timo, ok, using the latest 2.0beta6... I can't figure out the settings for the log file to have the correct permissions. When the log file is created, it is created owned by root and 0600 permissions, which doesn't allow the lda to write to it if I use different users and groups for that main config... If I then chmod the log file to 666, then everything is happy, but again, if that log file is removed and created by dovecot, it will create it back with 0600 and the lda will error and not deliver mail because of it... I was not able to find anywhere else to set the mode of the log files or the mask that is used... here is the current config : # 2.0.beta6: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p3 i386 auth_username_format = %Lu auth_username_translation = %@ auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no dotlock_use_excl = yes first_valid_uid = 100 listen = * lock_method = dotlock log_path = /local/logs/dovecot.errors mail_gid = 100 mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir mail_nfs_index = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_uid = 100 mmap_disable = yes passdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_auth driver = checkpassword } plugin { quota = maildir sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/Maildir/sieve } protocols = imap pop3 managesieve quota_full_tempfail = yes service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0660 } } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /bin/checkpassword_dovecot_deliver driver = checkpassword } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol pop3 { pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } Thanks, Tim.

[Dovecot] Postfix, MySQL, Dovecot LDA and alias domains
by Darek M 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi there, I have a postfix/postfixadmin/mysql/dovecot install that was using 'virtual' for the LDA. I tried the 'dovecot' LDA to enable Sieve but ran into trouble with aliases. With domain "some-domain.com" being an alias to "somedomain.com", mail sent to *(a)somedomain.com would be delivered to the Maildir fine, but the 'dovecot' LDA tossed "unknown user" for anything sent to *(a)some-domain.com (the alias to the other domain). My dovecot.sql: driver = mysql connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=postfix user=dovecot password=dovecot user_query = SELECT concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' password_query = SELECT username as user, password, concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as userdb_mail, 5000 as userdb_uid, 5000 as userdb_gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' The problem is fairly simple: Dovecot isn't being told anything about the 'alias_domain' table that pairs alias domains with actual ones. So the question is: do I add a second "user_query" in dovecot.sql, or is there an "alias_query" directive, or similar? And does anyone have a query that would point an alias domain to the real maildir? - Darek

[Dovecot] Outlook problem
by Patric Falinder 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi, I have some problems that every time I start Outlook and retrieve my e-mails and then later tries to do it on my iPhone for example, I get some sort of problem that I can't get the mails. I searched around on the wiki and found the "outlook-no-nuls" and "outlook-idle" options, but where am I suppose to add them? I only have "pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv" in my "protocol pop3 {}" and it didn't work to add it to a new line there. Thanks, Patric

[Dovecot] "failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Not enough disk space." with large mail
by Johannes Dröge 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hello, I am having this error message on some rare emails with more than 6 mb or so. Neither the dovecot server nor the filesystem where the maildir resides have any quota or are full at the time of delivering. The mails goes getmail->postfix->dovecot delivery agent Is the mail written to any other place than the maildir folder? Even though all my temp folders should also be able to hold some megabytes... Thanks for any help, Johannes message: *sieve: info: started log at ... error: msgid=<XXX>: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Not enough disk space. * dovecot --version 1.2.10 dovecot -n # 1.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 i686 Debian 5.0.4 xfs log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps ssl_cert_file: /etc/certificates/XXX ssl_key_file: /etc/certificates/XXX login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_greeting: XXX mail_access_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:/services/mail/%u mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock lda: postmaster_address: root mail_plugins: sieve auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd plugin: sieve: /var/sieve-scripts/%u/filter.sieve

[Dovecot] New mailbox & autocreate
by Bambero 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi, First of all BIG THANKS for great piece of software. I have a small problem with autocreate. My mails are stored in: /var/mail Ex. /var/mail/test(a)test.pl/Maildir Account information comes from DB. So when new account appears in DB full path including home dir is created. But there is one small problem: Group always is "wheel". Autocreating ignores gid from DB and uses the group of the parent directory - in this case /var/mail. But when I create home dir manualy (setting right group) group of autocreated Maildir is OK. Is it possible to configure dovecot to set group from DB. Regards, Bambero
