[Dovecot] 20070605 still hanging with SSL
by David Favor 12 Jun '07

Thought this was fixed and now it's back. No help from rawlog as the hang appears prior to authentication. Notice there is around a 90 second delay before authentication fires.

[Dovecot] SSL_CTX_set_info_callback problem in latest source
by David Favor 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

In the file ./src/login-common/ssl-proxy-openssl.c appears the code: if (verbose_ssl) SSL_CTX_set_info_callback(ssl_ctx, ssl_info_callback); It appears the SSL_CTX_set_info_callback symbol only occurs in the openssl development branch starting with 0x00909000L as this symbol is missing from openssl 0.9.8b and 0.9.8e (no check of the latest nightly snapshot of the stable 0.9.8 branch). It appears there should be a compilation guard around this code. Perhaps... #if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER >= 0x00909000L if (verbose_ssl) SSL_CTX_set_info_callback(ssl_ctx, ssl_info_callback); #endif -- Like feeling your best ever, all day, every day? Here's how...

[Dovecot] lazy_expunge and emails from Inbox, doesn't list INBOX in deleted
by Roger Binns 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

I'm using the dovecot available on Ubuntu Feisty (1.0rc17) and am trying to migrate from courier-imap. A really important feature for me from courier is that expunged messages end up in Trash where they are removed after 7 days. I can get an approximation of this feature as described in the documentation: namespace private { prefix = INBOX. seperator = . inbox = yes } namespace private { prefix = DELETED. seperator = . location = maildur:~/Maildir/deleted } lazy_expunge = DELETED. DELETED. DELETED. This all works fine except for messages that were deleted from the Inbox. They do end up in the right place (~/Maildir/deleted/cur) but that location is not listed as a subscribable folder. Here you can see that deleted messages from my ciontope folder show up, but not the inbox. a LIST "DELETED." * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "DELETED.ciontope" a OK List completed. You can't examine the namespace itself: a EXAMINE DELETED a NO Unknown namespace. a EXAMINE DELETED. a NO Invalid mailbox name But the folder does exist: a EXAMINE DELETED.INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox. * 4 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1181423860] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 5] Predicted next UID a OK [READ-ONLY] Select completed. Is there any way to convince dovecot to list DELETED.INBOX so that clients can see it an subscribe to it? Roger

[Dovecot] Multiple IP(or Host) listen in dovecot.conf.
by Yoshihiro Kawabe 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

Hi. Does someone make update for `Multiple IP(or Host) listen in dovecot.conf'? I made trivial patch so. But this patch doesn't solve `Support listening in multiple sockets' in TODO. It appends only the capability as multiple listen in dovecot.conf. So, `login_processes_count' becomes ambiguous. In CASE1, login_processes_count = 2, forked imap-login processes are 8. -- samples dovecot.conf applied this patch are following. CASE 1: listen = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.10, imap-server1, imap-server2.example.com or CASE 2: protocol imap { listen = 127.0.0.1:143, imap-server1:10143 ssl_listen = imap-server2:10943, 127.0.0.1 .. } protocol pop3 { listen = 127.0.0.1, pop-server1:10100 .. } -- Update brief. src/master/ master-setting.h: listen_fd and related members changed to array_t. also name add (s). master-setting.c: few member initialization delete. main.c: handle multiple IP and port, fds as array_t. resolve_ip argment change. login-process.h: add listen_fd and ssl_listen_fd member to login_group structre. login-process.c: add login_groups_create function for mapping login process to each listen fd. change dup2 source fd in create_login_process. src/lib network.c: change getnameinfo error value. -- Kawabe,Yoshihiro <sowhat(a)amnis.co.jp> As the stars blink in the night sky, our married hearts are never splitted.

[Dovecot] dovecot-20070605 runtime problems
by David Favor 11 Jun '07

11 Jun '07

I've build this nightly snapshot with my installed openssl, which is 0.9.8b (Fedora 6) and the latest openssl development tree. The 20070605 version of dovecot starts up doing ssl protocol perfect, then after clicking a few directories, then when clicking back to INBOX, dovecot hangs. There is no logging info, even with --enable-debug on and all .conf file directives I can find. Doing a 'ngrep port 993' shows no SSL dialog. If I go through my same compile sequence using the dovecot-1.0.0 source all is well with both the system openssl and the latest openssl snapshot, so it appears something is wrong in the current nightly snapshot. My primary question is howto debug this hang, short of attaching gdb to the process. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. I'm using the latest Thunderbird version 2.0.0.4 (20070604). I've build it using: [root@net1 dovecot-20070605]# build_dovecot mkdir -p /build/work/dovecot-20070605 cd /build/work/dovecot-20070605 unset CDPATH export CPPFLAGS='-pipe -O2 -I/usr/local/include' export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib' make distclean ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pkgs/dovecot-20070605 --disable-nls --with-deliver --with-sqlite --without-vpopmail --with-notify=inotify --with-ioloop=epoll --with-ssl=openssl --enable-debug --enable-asserts make make check rm -rf /usr/local/pkgs/dovecot-20070605 make install install -c -m 555 doc/mkcert.sh /usr/local/pkgs/dovecot-20070605/sbin/dovecot-mkcert shmk /usr/local/pkgs/dovecot-20070605/sbin /usr/local/sbin mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs /etc/ssl/private rm -f /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem /etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem export OPENSSLCONFIG=/tools/conf/dovecot-openssl.conf dovecot-mkcert cp -f /etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem /var/www/html/. chmod ugo+r /var/www/html/dovecot.pem groupadd dovecot || /bin/true groupadd: group dovecot exists useradd -M -g dovecot -d /usr/local -s /sbin/nologin dovecot || /bin/true useradd: user dovecot exists (cd /etc/init.d && ln -sf /tools/init.d/dovecot .) -- Like feeling your best ever, all day, every day?
