[Dovecot] Purging old mails
by Dave Hatton 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hi all, Firstly if this is a FAQ and I've missed it - let me apologise in advance. I use dovecot as a backup mail store and would now like to purge all mails over a certain age. Is it as simple as using find and rm'ing the results or is there more to it? I'm using maildir if that make a difference? Thanks in advance. Daveh

[Dovecot] RC6 startup failure: "Login prcess died too early"
by S JList 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Greetings. I have been running Dovecot-1.0rc2 on a test server for the last couple of weeks. No problems. However, when I installed RC6 this morning, Dovecot refused to launch completely. Here's the relevant snippet from /var/log/maillog: Aug 7 10:08:36 mercury dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc6 starting up Aug 7 10:08:37 mercury dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down Aug 7 10:08:37 mercury dovecot: child 26127 (login) killed with signal 11 Aug 7 10:08:37 mercury dovecot: child 26128 (login) killed with signal 11 Both RC2 and RC6 compiled cleanly with "--with-pop3d". For reasons beyond my control, I have to set protocols = imap pop3 disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl_disable = yes I do have a valid /etc/pam.d/dovecot file (we're using PAM). I made certain that the localized settings for /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf matched what they were in RC2 for RC6. (I did use the RC6 dovecot-example.conf as source for RC6, then made the local changes. I also tried testing RC6 with my old RC2 config file--same failure). So, RC2 starts just fine. RC6 fails to start with the messages logged above. Can anyone give me any pointers? RHEL (Linux Kernel 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp), built from source, nothing out-of-the-ordinary. Right now, I've reverted back to RC2. TIA. S JList sjlist(a)heidelberg.edu

[Dovecot] flag changes - duped notifications
by Joshua Goodall 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Seeing the following with 1.0-rcX : * OK Dovecot ready. 001 login xxx@xxx xxx 001 OK Logged in. 002 select INBOX * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Flags permitted. * 18 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UNSEEN 1] First unseen. * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1146630080] UIDs valid * OK [UIDNEXT 46] Predicted next UID 002 OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed. 003 STORE 1 FLAGS (\Deleted) * 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Deleted)) * 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Deleted)) 003 OK Store completed. The flag change results in a duplicated notification. With a large number of deletes over a slower link this causes client problems.

[Dovecot] Stale imap processes
by Martin Jackson 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hello, I'm new to the list, but I noticed a buildup of stale imap processes after upgrading to 1.0rc2. My IMAP server actually ran over maxpipekva, and I had to reboot it. I got to spend some time learning about kern.ipc.maxpipekva in the process of troubleshooting. I'm running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p3, and I have a small home office LAN setup. 2 XP client PC's, one which uses primarily Thunderbird 1.5.0.5, one which uses primarily Outlook Express. I had been running with SSL under Thunderbird (only), but disabled that in hopes of fixing the problem. It appears not to have helped. I am using the FreeBSD dovecot port, currently at rc2, with default settings. I use the default authentication scheme, and Maildir storage (my MTA is Postfix). I am running a number of other daemons on this machine but mail is its main function. I am interested in helping to solve this problem; is there anything I can do to help? Thanks, Marty

Re: [Dovecot] LIST command ignores "hidden=yes" for default namespace

But it should only be listing the folders with the prefix since hidden=yes on the second. The patch I listed in my original post fixes it in RC2 as well. namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes location = maildir:%h } namespace private { separator = . prefix = inbox = no hidden = yes location = maildir:%h }

[Dovecot] 1.0 RC6 released
by Timo Sirainen 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc6.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc6.tar.gz.sig Back to rc1's SSL proxying code with some improvements, which hopefully now makes everyone happy. I'm seeing all kinds of problems with namespace prefixes and LIST code. I guess it would be important to fix it before v1.0 since it makes upgrades from other servers easier.. I also tried looking into the "Unknown namespace" problems that happens if you try to create only one namespace with "INBOX." prefix. I couldn't really figure out what causes those errors. Could someone show me what commands the client tries to use which causes it? * Removed login_max_logging_users setting since it was somewhat weird in how it worked. Added login_max_connections to replace it with login_process_per_connection=no, and with =yes its functionality is now within login_max_processes_count. + Added --with-linux-quota configure option to specify which Linux quota version to use, in case it's not correct in sys/quota.h. Usually used as --with-linux-quota=2 + acl plugins: If .DEFAULT file exists in global ACL root directory, use it as the default ACLs for all mailboxes. - Fixes to login process handling, especially with login_process_per_connection=no. - Back to the original SSL proxy code but with one small fix, which hopefully fixes the occational hangs with it - Several fixes to handling LIST command more correctly.
