Hi, Last time, I have got no reply, hope this time is better. OS: Solaris 10 Dovecot version : 1.1.1 file system of /var/mail : NFS from Solaris file system of /home : other NFS server that not support rquotad. Here is my setting that works: ---------------------------- plugin { quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/var/mail quota2 = fs:home:noenforcing:mount=/home/h1 } The above settings works. Dovecot able to report the quota information on /var/mail. However, when I try to append some mail to mail folders on my home drive, dovecot will produce following errors. The mail will be appended multiple times until I kill my mail client. -----------------dovecot log-------------- dovecot: Jul 02 09:44:23 Info: IMAP(01234567g): quota-fs: host=mailsvr, path=/var/mail, uid=3475 dovecot: Jul 02 09:44:23 Info: IMAP(01234567g): quota-fs: uid=3475, value=10240, limit=1024000, active=1 dovecot: Jul 02 09:44:23 Info: IMAP(01234567g): quota-fs: host=homesvr, path=/home, uid=3475 dovecot: Jul 02 09:44:23 Error: IMAP(01234567g): quota-fs: could not contact RPC service on homesvr dovecot: Jul 02 09:44:30 Warning: Killed with signal 15 --------------------------------------- -- Regards, Grandy (CNE, MCSE, CCNA, SCSA,SCNA, CISSP) ************************************ * Technical Support Team * Dept. of Computing, HKPU * e-mail: cswfu(a)comp.polyu.edu.hk * ROOM: QT403, HKPU * TEL: (852)2766-7306 * FAX: (852)2170-0145 ************************************

[Dovecot] Error while login to dovecot server:
by Hari 09 Jul '08

Hi Friends, I'm running postfix 2.2.10, dovecot-0.99.11 and openldap -2.2.13 in my organization. Here, all my postfix, dovecot, saslauthd, depends on ldap only. Means ldap is acting as a centralized database for user information. In this picture everything is working fine except user login to dovecot for downloading their mails. Actually they can't able to login to the server from client like outlook express. Instead thay are geting error like "server closed the connection...". Here i'm attaching my dovecot conf file and error log.

[Dovecot] Private flags and shared keywords
by Imobach González Sosa 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi all, With some help of this list, I've managed to set up some mailboxes keeping \Seen flags as private. Thanks Timo for updating the documentation about that. But now, I've got another question: is it possible to keep those flags as private and have shared keywords ("Junk", "NotJunk", etc.)? I suppose that flags and keywords are stored in the index file, so I guess the answer is "no". :P Any tip about it? -- Imobach González Sosa Banot.net http://www.banot.net/

[Dovecot] Time moved backwards by 4398 seconds
by Anders 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Dovecot (v1.1.rc8) died tonight, with an error about time moving backwards by 4398 seconds. I can see from logs that this has happend a few times before with the imap processes, without me noticing. I sure noticed the master process missing, though :-). I was puzzled that it was always 4398 seconds, in particular because this server runs an NTP daemon. A little searching for this problem shows that it is an issue with the Linux kernel gettimeofday(), see e.g. http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/23/96 Below is a patch (untested) to work around this issue. Do you see something wrong with this approach, apart from the uglyness? I just picked the 4395-4400 values by chance. Can you figure out how big the window should be? Thanks, Anders. --- ./src/lib/ioloop.c-orig 2008-06-20 10:45:54.000000000 +0200 +++ ./src/lib/ioloop.c 2008-06-20 10:47:36.000000000 +0200 @@ -230,8 +230,13 @@ struct timeval tv, tv_call; unsigned int t_id; - if (gettimeofday(&ioloop_timeval, &ioloop_timezone) < 0) - i_fatal("gettimeofday(): %m"); + /* The Linux gettimeofday() will sometimes jump forward + * by approximately 4398 seconds.

[Dovecot] "check pass; user unknown"
by Zsombor 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Hi, I'm using dovecot v1.0.rc15 (from debian etch) and I have some performance problems. Every time I log in I see the following in the mail log: ---- Jul 8 21:05:31 myserver dovecot-auth: (pam_unix) check pass; user unknown Jul 8 21:05:31 myserver dovecot-auth: (pam_unix) authentication failure; logname=uid=0 euid=0 tty=dovecot ruser= rhost=127.0.0.1 Jul 8 21:05:33 myserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<mogorva(a)mydomain.hu>,method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Jul 8 21:05:33 myserver dovecot: IMAP(mogorva(a)mydomain.hu): Disconnected: Logged out ---- It doesn't matter if I use Squirrelmail or Thunderbird (as POP3 client), the first try is always empty username and password so it slows down terribly every action. What's more I'm using postgres authentication and there are no local system users. This problem didn't come out with previous version of dovecot. Thank you in advance, zs-

[Dovecot] FETCH for mailbox got too little data
by Kenneth Porter 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Using 1.1.1. Got this error message in a tight loop, using both Tbird and Mulberry 3 as client: FETCH for mailbox INBOX UID 32994 got too little data: 1616 vs 1649 I get this repeatedly alternating with a login line. What does this mean? I stopped the server, zipped ~/mail/.imap/INBOX to hide it and let dovecot recreate it, and things seem to be working again. Is there a less destructive way to fix this in the future? Delivery is by procmail.

Re: [Dovecot] Multiple quota roots with quota-fs backend
by Ralf Becker 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hello Stewart, > You have to previously know or have determined: > a) what FS's are under quota That's easy in my case, because each filesystem is listed in dovecot.conf: quota = fs:"Spool":mount=/var/spool/mail quota2 = fs:"Home0":mount=/home/f0 quota3 = fs:"Home1":mount=/home/f1 quota4 = fs:"Home2":mount=/home/f2 quota5 = fs:"Home3":mount=/home/f3 ... > AND > b) know which ones the user uses That should be easy to, because they are listed in mail_location. In my case this is: mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%n > AND > c) then make multiple calls, one for each FS that the user has stuff in > Let take 'quota_transaction_set_limits' as example: If I understand Timo's source code correctly this is done by looping through the mountpoints of all quota roots. But then, and this is a problem, the lowest quota limit is used, because it is not checked, if the mbox file acctually _resides_ in this filesystem. Well... I think what this behavior could be "fixed" in the same way I've used for GETQUOTAROOT: I've just implemented a callback function 'root_match_box' that returns 'true', if a Mailbox resides on the filesystem defined "mount=" in quota definition and 'false' if not. This optional function is used in 'quota_root_iter_next' to filter the list of all quota roots. From the source code: ----------------------8<---------------------------------------------- roots = array_get(&iter->quota->roots, &count); if (iter->i >= count) return NULL; for (; iter->i < count; iter->i++) { if (roots[iter->i]->backend.v.root_match_box != NULL) { if (!roots[iter->i]->backend.v.root_match_box(roots[iter->i], iter->box)) continue; } ... } ---------------------->8---------------------------------------------- The same should be correct in quota_transaction_set_limits, quota_transaction_commit and quota_default_test_alloc But I should have a deeper look at this... :-) BTW: If this behavior is indeed AIX specific, that's no problem, In this case the function should always returning 'true' or just not be included in the list of callback functions.

[Dovecot] imap and vpopmail: per-domain auth
by Francesco Abeni 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

Hi, i have qmail + vpopmail + dovecot + squirrelmail 0.99.14 on Fedora Core 4. Qmail includes its own pop3 server, and everybody is able to access it from outside. Dovecot is used only locally by SquirrelMail - so everybody can access via webmail. I'd like to make imap directly available from outside, but only for a few selected domains (NOT ip addresses!), while leaving everyone able to access with pop3 and/or via webmail. I don't know if this is possible, and if it is, i don't even know where to start. Is it a vpopmail or dovecot setting? Thank you for any suggestion and/or pointer to the right documentation. -- Francesco

[Dovecot] Dovecot Sieve Broken with 1.1 RPMs?
by Mailing List 08 Jul '08

08 Jul '08

We have been using dovecot v1:1.0.15-1_72 and dovecot-sieve v1.0.3-7 very successfully for many months but I've been unable to get dovecot-sieve to work with the latest 1.1 release. The new release seems to completely ignore our global sieve script no matter what we do. Is anyone else using the atrpms-stable rpms packages and able to get dovecot-sieve to work correctly? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Gavin
