Too many wait in auth process

Hello, I'm currently benchmarking new hardware aimed to serve around 70k users For now, our IMAP server have 13k users. To run imaptest, I've spwan some bench clients. Each bench client can run imaptest with 1000 clients. More than 1000 clients will load CPU of this bench client imaptest command (command are chosen from usage stat on our other IMAP servers): imaptest host=xxxxx port=xxx userfile=userfile mbox=/root/dovecot-crlf pass=sxxxx seed=123 clients=1000 select=194 uidfetch=94 noop=70 status=82 append=49 fetch=276 list=12 store=19 expunge=22 msubs=4 search=4 logout=1 delete=81 no_pipelining With one bench client, everything runs smoothly. # ps aux | grep dovecot | awk '{print $11,$12,$13,$14,$15,$16,$17,$18}' | sort | uniq -c 1 anvil: [221 connections] (anvil) 1 auth: [13 wait, 0 passdb, 0 userdb] (auth) 1 dovecot/config 1 dovecot/imap 84 dovecot/imap-login 1 dovecot/log 20 dovecot/pop3-login 1 grep dovecot 1 stats: [1307 connections] (stats) When a second instance bench instance start imaptest, clients of first and second instance begin to stall : 1400 stalled for 20 secs in command: 1 LOGIN"fakeuser644@mailbench...." "password" And : # ps aux | grep dovecot | awk '{print $11,$12,$13,$14,$15,$16,$17,$18}' | sort | uniq -c 1 anvil: [221 connections] (anvil) 1 auth: [1227 wait, 0 passdb, 0 userdb] (auth) 1 dovecot/config 1 dovecot/imap 37 dovecot/imap-login 1 dovecot/log 20 dovecot/pop3-login 1 grep dovecot 1 stats: [680 connections] (stats) Every auth go in wait, number of connection decreases. Using mysql or a password file give same results. I have used different values for service_count with also no success. I think my use of imaptest could be false. My understanding of service auth is limited for now because I'm quite new to Dovecot (I have previously worked with Cyrus). Thank you for every hints. Ismaël Tanguy

mail-crypt and mbox format
by cincodemayo_67＠yahoo.com 17 Feb '22

17 Feb '22

Hi, My Dovecot server of many years has been set up to use mbox email folders. I want to implement mail-crypt and after banging my head against a wall for a few days trying to get mail-crypt to work I decided to try it against a test instance of my server that I reset to use Maildir format and mail-crypt worked instantly. Does mail-crypt work with mbox format mail folders, or am I wasting my time unless I switch over to Maildir? The documentation at https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_crypt_plugin/ doesn't explicitly say Maildir is required. Thanks in advance, Doug

Memory problems with config service
by Víctor Rubiella Monfort 16 Feb '22

16 Feb '22

Hi all, I'm having problems with memory in config service. I increased vsz_limit to 10GB but continue with this errors when try to reload or restart dovecot: config: Panic: data stack: Out of memory when allocating 2147483688 bytes master: Error: service(config): command startup failed, throttling for 2 secs config: Fatal: master: service(config): child 5512 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) Dovecot has a lot of certificates TLS configured (SNI) (about 3k), but if I check the size of all of them is aprox 170MB on disk.Why does it need so much memory to boot? Is normal? service config { vsz_limit = {{ vszlimit }} }

JWT tokens, timestamps and doubles (microseconds)
by Aleš Krajník 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Hi all, I am having troubles with OAuth2 setup with local introspection of JWT tokens. This happens, when the JWT tokens contain timestamps as doubles, with microseconds, for example with the following payload: { "aud": "caf65d650022e3eb7cce518e7526a39f", "jti": "8291efed41d2ce65ec5c59a4cbcaa285f2ca37d5b2785da56de66adbd1b8eef65495bc 599be5ac56", "iat": 1644833538.793359, "nbf": 1644833538.79336, "exp": 1644833838.773605, "sub": "ales(a)example.com", "scope": "email" } Such a JWT token produces the following error: dovecot_1 | Feb 14 10:10:46 auth: Info: oauth2(ales(a)example.com,192.168.224.2,<xWZFoffXYujAqOAC>): oauth2 failed: Local validation failed: Malformed 'exp' field According to the RFC, the timestamps seem to be allowed to contain non- integer values: NumericDate A JSON numeric value representing the number of seconds from 1970- 01-01T00:00:00Z UTC until the specified UTC date/time, ignoring leap seconds. This is equivalent to the IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013 Edition [POSIX.1] definition "Seconds Since the Epoch", in which each day is accounted for by exactly 86400 seconds, other than that non-integer values can be represented. See RFC 3339 [RFC3339] for details regarding date/times in general and UTC in particular. (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-json-web-token-32#se…) After removing the fractions, the token works well. This seems to be happening here: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/lib-oauth2/oauth2-jwt.c#L41 If you agree for this to be a bug, can I fill in a bug report somewhere? Thank you! Best, Aleš

wondering if I configured sieve vacation correctly
by Marc 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

I have a user who feels compelled to use the vacation as autoreply to confirm that a message has been received. The down side is of course, that if spam/abuse messages get through the spam filters, this can get 'messy'. Currently I am getting these ndr's as postmaster(?). But I was not actually expecting this. I would expect that the mailbox with the autoreply would get this report. The vacation is configured like this[1], my question is. What am I doing wrong that this ndr is not ending up in the users mailbox? Can it be the from is not correctly configured/set at the time the vacation message is being sent?

Backup procedures
by Jorge Bastos 13 Feb '22

13 Feb '22

Howdy, I have a particular situation where I have about 5 users using a large account in IMAP, and I have the need to backup the account daily or weekly or so. I was thinking about to copy the whole directory, each email is a file, it could probably work, but the dovecot index files would be damaged/wrong. Is there a tool that could perform a backup (ex: yesterday), and when I inserted that backup, it just insert the emails and folders that were deleted today? Thanks in advanced, Jorge
