[Dovecot] Moving to dovecot
by Ian C. Quorn 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

We're in the process of moving to Dovecot. We're currently running UW-IMAP live with Dovecot 1.0rc7 on alternate ports for testing. We're set to switch to Dovecot tomorrow morning, and I'm sure I'll have lots of stupid questions once that happens. So I guess you can consider this message an introduction as well as a preemptive apology. Our setup: our mailserver is a SunFire 880 running solaris 8. Inboxes are stored in /var/mail, home directories are in /home. Mailboxes are mbox. Both /home and /var/mail are NFS-mounted from a NetApp filer. Indexes are stored in /dovecot (this is a partition on local disk). We have about 500 users accesing their mail on this server. Supported clients are Outlook, Mac Mail, and Thunderbird (both PC and Mac). Many people access their mail via webmail (IMP Horde) instead of or in addition to using a normal client. We also have a few people who use Pine. Authentication is against the local shadow file. Given this setup, do the following config lines seem sane? login_process_per_connection = no login_max_connections = 256 default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/dovecot/%u namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } # for backwards compatibility: namespace private { separator = / prefix = mail/ hidden = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = ~/mail/ hidden = yes } namespace private { separator = / prefix = ~%u/mail/ hidden = yes } mail_read_mmaped = no mmap_disable = no mmap_no_write = no lock_method = fcntl mbox_read_locks = dotlock mbox_write_locks = dotlock imap_client_workarounds = outlook-idle tb-extra-mailbox-sep pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh The namespace stuff came from http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces - it was listed as a way to allow backwards-compatability with UW-IMAP. So, anything there look like a bad idea? Any other config parameters I might want to tweak, tune, or otherwise take a look at? So far dovecot's been pretty much trouble-free in our testing. But I have noticed some error messages in the logs. Anyone know what these mean? Are they anything I should panic over? dovecot: Sep 25 09:34:19 Error: IMAP(cliftoja): UIDVALIDITY changed (1034876030 -> 1159201281) in mbox file /home/wcts/cliftoja/mail/Common installation codes dovecot: Sep 25 09:50:24 Error: IMAP(cliftoja): UIDVALIDITY changed (1156881790 -> 1159202005) in mbox file /home/wcts/cliftoja/mail/Junk dovecot: Sep 25 10:04:01 Error: imap-login: Master sent reply with unknown tag 180 dovecot: Sep 25 10:04:01 Error: child 1078 (login) returned error 89 dovecot: Sep 25 10:18:58 Error: login: tried to change state 0 -> 44 (if you can't login at all, see src/lib/fdpass.c) Thanks in advance, and here's to (hopefully) a trouble-free Dovecot migration (hey, it can't be worse than UW-IMAP).

[Dovecot] support for UW-style mbox
by T. Horsnell 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Hi, The dovecot docs say that support for the automatic appending of /var/spool/mail to a ~user/mbox (as is done by UW-IMAP) may be implemented in the near future. Is this still the case? And if so, is it far off? Cheers, Terry.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.0.rc7 ioloop-poll.c assertion failed after SIGHUP
by Chris Wakelin 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Anybody else seen this one? We're running Dovecot 1.0.rc7 on a different port on our live server (we're generally live with 1.0.beta5) and after a HUP to reload the user database (in a passwd-file) this morning we got:- > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Info: IMAP 14482 someuser xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx : Disconnected in IDLE > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Warning: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: No route to host [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Error: Login process died too early - shutting down > dovecot: Sep 22 07:45:05 Panic: file ioloop-poll.c: line 105 (io_loop_handle_remove): assertion failed: (index >= 0 && (unsigned int) index < ctx->fds_count) and Dovecot had died. "someuser" was me, and I'd left my Thunderbird client logged in (via IMAPS) by mistake when I hibernated my PC last night. I'd seen exactly the same assert on a test box the day before yesterday, (this time without a machine hibernating):- > dovecot: Sep 19 19:00:45 Info: imap-login: Aborted login: user=<testuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, lip=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, secured > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Error: Login process died too early - shutting down > dovecot: Sep 19 19:07:42 Panic: file ioloop-poll.c: line 105 (io_loop_handle_remove): assertion failed: (index >= 0 && (unsigned int) index < ctx->fds_count) Where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy is actually the test box (I was logging in from the server itself using "openssl s_client"). The thing is, I was hoping to upgrade everyone (~20,000 users) to 1.0.rc7 next Tuesday, but now I'm not so sure!

[Dovecot] Need to detect event: a user move a message to a “spam folder” (for antispam filter)
by Naefen Raphaël 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

I’m writing an immune system based antispam filter. I need to detect when a user move a message to her spam folder (to inform the filter). I I found “cmd_copy” in imap library so I detect the copy event. But at this level I wasn’t able to find info about which mail and which user copy this message. My question is: Were I can find user Info to know how is moving this message in the spam folder. Ideally if I can have information about message (content or id) will be perfect. Thanks

BUG in rc7 (and probably from much earlier). The LDA 'deliver' fails to honour any uid (%i) setting in dovecot.conf. So delivery and reading happen in different places if 'default_mail_env' uses a '%i' variant. Clearly incorrect behaviour. Attached is a draft of a patch which fixes the problem. Please could the patch be reviewed and, in some form, applied? Thanks. -- : David Lee I.T.
