by David Reid 07 Aug '08

How do I set an unlimited quota for a user in 1.1? Setting it to 0 bytes worked in 1.0, but doesn't seem to work in 1.1 :-( david

[Dovecot] Maildir Index Question
by Ron Culler 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

We have several hundred mailboxes that have thousands of files in them (spam boxes) We currently run a find command and remove the files that are over 7 days old but still have boxes with upto 60k messages in them. I know that dovecot will update the index files for each mailbox when the boxes is accessed by an IMAP client(Webmail using Squirrel)but that can take quite a while to index. What I would like to do is via a cron job after the old file remove is to force dovecot to reindex these boxes. That way when the users login to the webmail interface it is quicker. Does anyone know if a script is available to do this? Thanks Ron Culler

[Dovecot] Dovecot PAM sessions with Maildir
by Sean Smitz 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

I am configuring a new mail server on RHEL 5 x64. I have configured dovecot as follows: ... protocols = imaps ... ssl_cert_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/certs/mailserver.cer ssl_key_file = /etc/pki/dovecot/private/mailserver.pem ... login_process_size = 64 ... mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir ... passdb pam { args = "session=yes cache_key=%u%s dovecot" } ... I'm getting the following error messages in /var/log/maillog: Aug 5 20:57:45 [hostname] dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: rip=::ffff:128.8.244.15, lip=::ffff:[server], TLS Aug 5 21:01:34 [hostname] dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login: user=<[me]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:[server], lip=::ffff:[server], TLS I'm getting the following messages in /var/log/audit/audit.log: type=USER_AUTH msg=audit(1217984152.016:347): user pid=7669 uid=0 auid=10243 subj=user_u:system_r:dovecot_auth_t:s0 msg='PAM: authentication acct="[me]" : exe="/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth" (hostname=::ffff:[client], addr=::ffff:[client], terminal=dovecot res=success)' type=USER_ACCT msg=audit(1217984152.017:348): user pid=7669 uid=0 auid=10243 subj=user_u:system_r:dovecot_auth_t:s0 msg='PAM: accounting acct="[me]" : exe="/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth" (hostname=::ffff:[client], addr=::ffff:[client], terminal=dovecot res=success)' type=USER_START msg=audit(1217984152.017:349): user pid=7669 uid=0 auid=10243 subj=user_u:system_r:dovecot_auth_t:s0 msg='PAM: session open acct="[me]" : exe="/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth" (hostname=::ffff:[client], addr=::ffff:[client], terminal=dovecot res=failed)' I find the message in the audit.log interesting because I configured the connection with SSL not TLS, but if I use TLS the result is the same.

[Dovecot] Dovecot proxying results in "too many open files"
by Gianpaolo Del Matto 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hi, Some words about my Dovecot setup: - 10 dovecot servers - each server has some local mailboxes - each server has proxying enabled to seamlessly connect to another host if the mailbox is not local Running Dovecot 1.1.1 on FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p3. First of all, local mailbox access is fine. Proxying works also as expected. Now for the actual problem: Shortly after startup, Dovecot starts throwing errors concerning connection which should be proxied. Here are some examples from the logs: Aug 6 15:49:10 dovecot: imap-login: socket() failed: Too many open files Aug 6 15:49:10 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(XYZ): connect(1.2.3.4, 143) failed: Too many open files Aug 6 15:49:10 dovecot: imap-login: accept() failed: Too many open files Aug 6 15:49:10 dovecot: imap-login: socket() failed: Too many open files Aug 6 15:49:10 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(XYZ): connect(1.2.3.4, 143) failed: Too many open files Aug 6 15:49:10 dovecot: imap-login: socket() failed: Too many open files Aug 6 15:49:10 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(XYZ): connect(1.2.3.4, 143) failed: Too many open files Aug 6 15:49:10 dovecot: imap-login: socket() failed: Too many open files Aug 6 15:49:10 dovecot: imap-login: proxy(XYZ): connect(1.2.3.4, 143) failed: Too many open files Aug 6 15:49:11 dovecot: imap-login: socket() failed: Too many open files [..] Aug 6 16:00:05 dovecot: imap-login: accept() failed: Too many open files Aug 6 16:00:08 dovecot: imap-login: accept() failed: Too many open files Aug 6 16:00:11 dovecot: imap-login: accept() failed: Too many open files Aug 6 16:00:13 dovecot: imap-login: accept() failed: Too many open files As from the context it seems to be a file descriptor issue, as such I have done the following: - added a 'limits -e -n 32768 -U dovecot' to dovecot startup file to ensure it has enough FD's - additionally, I've checked my kernel file limits, however I always set it through loader and sysctl to be as large as 64k # sysctl -a |grep files kern.maxfiles: 65535 kern.maxfilesperproc: 32768 kern.openfiles: 1632 - also checked the limits of the dovecot user like this: # su -c dovecot root -c 'ulimit -a' core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) 1048576 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 32768 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1 stack size (kbytes, -s) 131072 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 5547 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited - done some monitoring of file descriptor usage for the dovecot user, though somewhat inacurate, like this: while [ : ]; do date; fstat -u dovecot |wc -l; sleep 1; done this gave me these results while tailing the logfile: Wed Aug 6 15:44:12 CEST 2008 585 Wed Aug 6 15:44:13 CEST 2008 579 Wed Aug 6 15:44:14 CEST 2008 582 Wed Aug 6 15:44:15 CEST 2008 582 Wed Aug 6 15:44:16 CEST 2008 586 Wed Aug 6 15:44:17 CEST 2008 585 Wed Aug 6 15:44:18 CEST 2008 582 So it didn't seem to be anywhere near the theoretical upper limit I've set at 32k. On the other hand, when restarting Dovecot, it works for a few minutes for at least as long as the FD usage as reported above stays at around 500. I remember from the docs that dovecot-login would require the double amount of file descriptors to run. Assuming my report is somewhat inaccurate and lags behind, I could imagine that upon a proxy requests it would effectively peak our at some 500 x 2 FDs. Thus effectively reaching the 1024 FD barrier. I conclude this from the fact that I currently have some 350 - 450 logins in parallel, most of which can and shell be proxied. From the error message in the logs I got the impression, that only proxied connections are affected. I was not able to reproduce the issue with non-proxied logins to local mailboxes. Some further steps I've done from the configuration side to no avail: - disabled imaps/pop3s/ssl - changed between login_process_per_connection yes/no - played around with login_max_connections et all (raised/lowered) limits - tried with/without plugins enabled - tried with SQL-based and passwd-file based userdb/passdb, single and mixed Dovecot config: # dovecot -n # 1.1.1: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: imap pop3 listen: *, [::] ssl_disable: yes ssl_cert_file: /usr/local/etc/postfix/tls/server.crt ssl_key_file: /usr/local/etc/postfix/tls/server.key disable_plaintext_auth: no verbose_ssl: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_process_per_connection: no login_greeting_capability(default): yes login_greeting_capability(imap): yes login_greeting_capability(pop3): no login_processes_count: 16 login_max_processes_count: 64 login_max_connections: 64 max_mail_processes: 256 mail_max_userip_connections: 3 verbose_proctitle: yes mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: 1000 mail_gid: 1000 mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir fsync_disable: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_drop_priv_before_exec: yes mail_executable(default): /mailserver/scripts/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /mailserver/scripts/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /mailserver/scripts/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins: expire mail_log mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_log_max_lines_per_sec: 0 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra- mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail netscape-eoh tb-extra- mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): pop3_no_flag_updates(default): no pop3_no_flag_updates(imap): no pop3_no_flag_updates(pop3): yes pop3_enable_last(default): no pop3_enable_last(imap): no pop3_enable_last(pop3): yes pop3_uidl_format(default): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(imap): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_uidl_format(pop3): UID%u-%v pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh namespace: type: private inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. hidden: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 cache_size: 131072 username_translation: #@/@%@ username_format: %Lu verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes worker_max_request_count: 16384 passdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch userdb: driver: passwd-file args: username_format=%n /usr/local/etc/postfix/tables/ deliver_passwd userdb: driver: sql args: /usr/local/etc/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vpostfix group: vpostfix plugin: expire: Trash 14 Trash/* 14 Spam 14 Spam/* 14 VirusAlerts 14 VirusAlerts/* 14 Quarantine 14 Quarantine/* 14 expire_dict: proxy::expire dict: expire: mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-expire.conf Maybe I am missing something here.

[Dovecot] Dovecot auto vacation with sieve doesn't work
by CJ Keist 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Guys, I'm running out of hair to pull out ;). Can anyone out there say that this does work?? To me this is looking like a bug and I'm not sure whether it's the sieve plugin or the dovecot deliver program. I have also had no luck the the "reject" sending any reply back to the sender. My setup: OS: Solaris 10 sparc platform postfix: 2.5.2 dovecot: 1.1.2 sieve plugin: 1.1.5 I'm going back forth between procmail and sieve and having no luck. procmail will send the reply to the sender but doesn't deliver the message to the recipient. Sieve will deliver the message to the recipient but doesn't send the reply to the sender. Now if I can just combine the two, I'll be in business. Postfix mail command: mailbox_command = /userM/mail-services/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $USER* * Dovecot -n (I've made some changes from my previous posting namely with the master_auth settings) # 1.1.2: /userM/mail-services/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 256 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 3072).

[Dovecot] expire-plugin: configuration dict-server
by Jens Meyer 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hello all! I tried to add the expire-plugin to my dovecot-installation (CentOS-RPM: dovecot-1.1.1-2_76.el5) and followed the plugin-page from the WIKI (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire) Unfortunately I have problems with the dictionary: --> dovecot: Aug 05 13:30:25 Error: dict: Unknown dict module: db dovecot: Aug 05 13:30:25 Error: dict: Failed to initialize dictionary 'expire' <-- As far as I understand the hints from mailinglist-archive the db-support is not standard with dovecot and Timo suggested to use a mysql-connection. Are there any further tipps how to use the expire-plugin with mysql-connection (i.e. database-scheme, SQL-Select)? Kind regards, Jens

[Dovecot] 1.0(.14) vs 1.1.2 performance
by Thomas Hummel 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hello Timo, I just switched from dovecot-1.0.14 to dovecot-1.1.2 and noticed a significant drop in the server load average (which has become lower and above all doesn't seem to have unexplained peaks). Indexes are still locally stored and nfs attribute caching is still off). I searched the list archives for an explanation of what changed in the code that could explain such an improvement but mostly (except maybe some index code rewrite mentions) found differences in features. Where does that performance gap come from ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

[Dovecot] Can't connect to IMAP
by David Hall 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hi all, This is my first post here so i hope this will reach you :) My problem since a few days back is that IMAP doesn't seem to be started.

Thank you, Timo, running dovecot with this changeset, \Seen stored perfectly. Only problems I saw were like: --- deliver(listuser): Aug 04 16:06:38 Error: Corrupted transaction log file /home/vmail/listuser/Maildir/index/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log: hdr.size too large (75497472) ... dovecot: Aug 04 16:07:31 Error: IMAP(listuser): Corrupted transaction log file /home/vmail/listuser/Maildir/index/.INBOX/dovecot.index.log: duplicate transaction log sequence (2) --- and after deleting dovecot.index.log files they were rebuilt. And I can not see any other problem. -- Sergey Ivanov. ----- "Timo Sirainen" <tss(a)iki.fi> пишет: > On Jul 24, 2008, at 1:27 PM, seriv(a)parkheights.dyndns.org wrote: > > > This problem is apparently about changeset > http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/eec74a6ad62e > > . > > OK, changed, see if this helps: > http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/b5388b21c4c2
