[Dovecot] v1.1 alpha6: Log synchronization error ... Append with UID 0
by Asuka Sato 22 Sep '07

22 Sep '07

Hi. I am testing E-mail delivery by using dovecot 1.1 alpha6. But, The following message(syslog) is output while receiving mail. And, I'm try to looked for this reason in that source code. Hum... I think why the deliver is not using a 'MAILBOX_TRANSACTION_FLAG_ASSIGN_UIDS' flag. # deliver/deliver.c:142::deliver_save() function - calling mailbox_transactio n_begin() The imap's COPY/APPEND commands is using this flag. Thanks. -- Asuka Sato ========================================================= [syslog] ------------------------- Sep 18 14:04:41 host212 deliver(asuka.sato(a)example.jp): \ Log synchronization error at seq=2,offset=208 \ for /var/mss/example.jp/p001/mail/dovecot.index: \ Append with UID 0, but next_uid = 2 [logview] ------------------------- # logview /var/mss/example.jp/p001/mail/dovecot.index.log version = 1.0 hdr size = 24 index id = 1190185480 file seq = 2 ..... record: offset=128, type=append (ext), size=16 - 1 (flags=20), ..... record: offset=208, type=append (ext), size=16 - 0 (flags=20), .....

[Dovecot] Broken header
by Jon 22 Sep '07

22 Sep '07

Hi, I just upgraded to version 1.0.5 hoping to get rid of a problem that made Thunderbird download all mails from time to time. I now see this error (below). Does anyone know what it means? Error: IMAP(user): /mail2/home/user/.Maildir/.Folders.Persons.Foldername/dovecot-uidlist: Broken header (uidvalidity = 0, next_uid=10) Error: IMAP(user): /mail2/home/user/.Maildir/.Folders.2005/dovecot-uidlist: Broken header (uidvalidity = 0, next_uid=1186) Mails are stored in userhomedirs that are located on a NFS export.

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.1alpha6 deliver+quota bugs
by Andrew Garner 22 Sep '07

22 Sep '07

I was playing around with dovecot-1.1 and maildir++ quotas, and ran into a reproducible error with indexing. This only seems to be a problem for new maildirs. If I send a message without the quota plugin on, and "seed" the index/control files, future deliveries with the quota plugin seem to succeed without errors.

[Dovecot] quota reporting and mail.app
by Mike Horwath 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi everyone. I can't get mail.app to report back correct quota information using mail.app and dovecot (though it works with courier-imap). I am looking at migrating away from courier-imap to dovecot but this issue is something I need to have resolved <somehow>. Thunderbird is fine and reports back good info on either connection. I am off to read RFCs (can't I just read the sendmail book again? Might be easier...) to see what should really be done.

[Dovecot] SASL from remote server
by Daniel L. Miller 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Is there a way, using Dovecot and Postfix, to use SASL from a remote server? Since it appears the communication uses Unix sockets, does this mean it is restricted to local services only? I have a two-server configuration, where my firewall also runs the mail gateway/filter (Postfix + ASSP). My internal server has Postfix + Dovecot. Right now I have my internal server configured to use Dovecot SASL, but the external server is still using the Courier authdaemon against the LDAP database. -- Daniel

[Dovecot] Running a script when a mail arrives
by Dennis Becker 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi, I'm trying to execute a script when a mail arrives in a given user's mailbox. Something like .dovecot.sieve. The reason I'm not using sieve itself is that I need to do stuff on mail arrival, which is beyond sieve's features. So is there a way to tell dovecot to run a script when a mail arrives in a certain mailbox? Optionally a solution to forward the whole mail to a script would be good too. -- Dennis Becker

[Dovecot] Multiple Quota "ignore=" in Dovecot 1.0.x?
by Rich at Whidbey Telecom 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Any chance that multiple "ignore=" statements cab be specified for a quota in Dovecot 1.0.x? We know this is possible in 1.1, but won't be able to update until it's stable. We've tried: quota = maildir:storage=256000:ignore=Junk:ignore=Trash and quota = maildir:storage=256000:ignore=Junk,Trash However, only "Junk" is ignored, and email can't be deleted when the mailbox is full. Thanks! Rich

[Dovecot] Dovecot ignoring reject_code & delay_warning_time settings

Hello, hope guys someone can help me i have installed mailserver according this tutorial http://johnny.chadda.se/2007/04/15/mail-server-howto-postfix-and-dovecot-wi… which is linked from dovecot maunal pages Using Debian Etch 4.1 amd64, Postfix 2.3.8, Dovecot v1.0.rc15 , have tried also 32bit version with same result Everything works great except when i send mail to non-existing user in existing domain Dovecot is ignoring Postfix main.cf values delay_warning_time = 4h and unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 And is sending error message ca every two hours for 4 days like : Out: 220 mailserver2.mydomain.tld ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU) In: EHLO mail.otherdomain.tld Out: 250- mailserver2.mydomain.tld Out: 250-PIPELINING Out: 250-SIZE 10240000 Out: 250-VRFY Out: 250-ETRN Out: 250-STARTTLS Out: 250-AUTH PLAIN Out: 250-AUTH=PLAIN Out: 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES Out: 250-8BITMIME Out: 250 DSN In: STARTTLS Out: 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS In: EHLO mail.otherdomain.tld Out: 250- mailserver2.mydomain.tld Out: 250-PIPELINING Out: 250-SIZE 10240000 Out: 250-VRFY Out: 250-ETRN Out: 250-AUTH PLAIN Out: 250-AUTH=PLAIN Out: 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES Out: 250-8BITMIME Out: 250 DSN In: MAIL From:<rh(a)tvujweb.cz> SIZE=704 Out: 250 2.1.0 Ok In: RCPT To:<non_existing_user(a)existingdomain.net> Out: 451 4.3.0 <non_existing_user(a)existingdomain.net>: Temporary lookup failure In: QUIT Out: 221 2.0.0 Bye I have googled out somewhere parameter for dovecot.conf unknown_address_reject_code = 550 , but Dovecot is not taking this one. Is Dovecot using Postfix paramteres delay_warning_time = and unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = ?? Assuming not, becauase Postfix is delivering over Dovecot, as defined in postfix/master.conf dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $(recipient) So how can i set this two parameters ??
