[Dovecot] Moving folder issue
by Andrew Hutchings 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Hi, My wife who has thousands of IMAP boxes keeps getting errors when moving mailboxes in Thunderbird in Windows. I am using the same server (dovecot test 77) with Thunderbird in Linux and don't see the problem. What happens is she moves the mail box and Thunderbird comes up with an error saying it can't access the old box (odd!?). It has however completed the move. The following is what I got from logging, any ideas?: in log: 1843 lsub "" "eBay.Sales - Current.Ready to post.lollipop letters.*" 1844 close 1845 rename "eBay.Sales - Current.Ready to post.lollipop letters" "eBay.Sales - Complete.lollipop letters" 1846 subscribe "eBay.Sales - Complete.lollipop letters" 1847 unsubscribe "eBay.Sales - Current.Ready to post.lollipop letters" 1848 select "eBay.Sales - Complete.lollipop letters" out log: 1843 OK Lsub completed. 1844 OK Close completed. 1845 OK Rename completed. 1846 OK Subscribe completed. 1847 OK Unsubscribe completed. 1848 NO Internal error occured. Refer to server log for more information.

[Dovecot] Canot move messages out of my inbox
by _ 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm using thunderbird on top of Maildir, dovecot latest. For some weeks i cannot move messages out of the inbox folder anymore. Looking at the logfile, i see Error: child 19591 (imap) killed with signal 1 which by now is the only error i can see. I have already compared permissions on working folders with the inbox, all are the same (rwx, owner, owner).

[Dovecot] [PATCH] settings parsing section/context return bug
by Tom Alsberg 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

There seems to be a minor bug in the settings parsing code (as of today's dovecot-stable snapshot - 20050731) - after the closing bracket of protocol (imap/pop3) {} section, the parser still regards all options as affecting only that protocol and not globally (I have some options, protocol imap {}, protocol pop3 {}, and then some more options - now those latter options seem to only affect POP3). It seems to be solved by the attached patch. Merely that the sub-section level has to be decreased after checking that it is positive (for returning the protocol in context to ANY). Would that change (prefix to postfix decrement) break anything else? If not, can it be applied? -- Tom -- Tom Alsberg - hacker (being the best description fitting this space) Web page: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~alsbergt/ DISCLAIMER: The above message does not even necessarily represent what my fingers have typed on the keyboard, save anything further.

[Dovecot] 1.0 stable 20050725 assert, signal 6
by Jeff A. Earickson 07 Aug '05

07 Aug '05

Hi, I was brave enough to upgrade from UW-imap to stable 1.0 20050725 today for our IMAP service. I have seen a few of the following in my syslog: Jul 26 15:37:18 emerald dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(bjkupke): file mbox -sync-update.c: line 372: assertion failed: (ctx->mail.uid == 0 || ctx->mail.uid == mail->uid) Jul 26 15:37:18 emerald dovecot: [ID 684838 mail.error] child 16755 (imap) kille d with signal 6 Only for user bjkupke; his mailbox is not corrupted when I open it with Pine. My setup: Solaris 9, configured dovecot like so: CC=cc CFLAGS="-g" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-ssldir=/opt/openssl/ssl --with-rawlog --enable-debug > configure.out Using Sunstudio 9 compiler. I can't find any core files lying around. Bug? Problem? Suggestions please? BTW, are there searchable dovecot list archives someplace? Jeff Earickson Colby College

[Dovecot] Compile trouble with mysql
by Michael Goth 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Hello! I tried to compile the latest 1.0-test (79) with mysql support, but there is the following error: ... /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(sha1.o)(.text+0x5c): In function `sha1_result': : multiple definition of `sha1_result' ../lib/liblib.a(sha1.o)(.text+0x830):/usr/local/src/dovecot/dovecot-1.0-test79/src/lib/sha1.c:233: first defined here ... So 'sha1_result' is defined by mysqlclient and dovecot. This is an issue I already reported some time ago. According to a search in the list archives, it seems no one else has this problem. But there must be more people using dovecot with MySQL support. Probably this only happens with the statically linked MySQL version from mysql.org? I'd really appreciate any help on this, as I have to set up a new mail server quickly (and Courier just doesn't work the way I want it to). Thanks, Michael

[Dovecot] when will the version 1.0 released ...
by wiki kaha 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

Hi all. I work with the version 0.99.14 on an openbsd. There are an issue with b-tree and maybe something more. I know about the 1.x-test versions but they will never be in the ports on freebsd and openbsd because of the funny title "*-test..." This looks like an RC and the half world is waiting for a release. Is there no way to release a version so that the port world can go around :) I'm looking forward. ps: great software! regards ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

[Dovecot] Default_mail_env..
by Guillermo Llenas 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Hi, I 'm new to Dovecot and we are trying to do some tests in a production environment. We use mysql to authenticate and dovecot imap only. But our structure directory is something special. All of ours accounts are stored in maildir and the path is the following: For example the account pepe(a)inter.net /export/maildir/inter.net/p/e/pepe and into pepe we have cur, tmp, new. This is a problem because we cannot modify the database adding home for all users, so in the other side I played with the default_mail_env default_mail_env = maildir:/export/maildir/%d/%1u/%2u/%n:INBOX=/export/maildir/%d/%1u/%2u/%n but didn't wok out. Because imap(pepe(a)inter.net): Aug 01 18:26:04 Fatal: Failed to create storage with data: INBOX=/export/maildir/inter.net/p/pe/pepe I need only export / maildir / domain / first letter of the username / second letter / and last username Is there any way to do this ?, thanks in advance -- Guillermo Llenas Tecnología Inter.net Argentina ________________________ +54 011 6328-1500 fax 0054 11 6328-1530 www.ar.inter.net guillermo.llenas(a)team.ar.inter.net

by OpenMacNews 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

hi all, i'm setting up Dovecot on OSX to use PAM authentication against a flat_file/static userdb (tho i will _eventually_ mv to pgsql ...). iiuc, to do so i need something like: =================================== (EDITOR) /etc/pam.d/dovecot.imap auth required pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/var/dovecot/imapusers onerr=fail =================================== for a userdb listing in "/var/imapuser". all simple & good, except -- -- where's "pam_listfile.so" on OSX? % ls /usr/lib/pam/ pam_afpmount.so pam_nologin.so pam_securetty.so pam_uwtmp.so pam_deny.so pam_permit.so pam_securityserver.so pam_wheel.so pam_netinfo.so pam_rootok.so pam_unix.so do i have to grab-n-install it from somewhere? or are one of these ^ an 'equivalent' ... this _should_ be simple :-} thanks, richard

[Dovecot] Feature request - umask for index files
by Marc Perkel 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

I'd like a separate feature for setting umask for index and cache files differently from email files. The reason is that I'm putting indexes in a separate location and I need group create rights in directories. Otherwise what happens is that the first user creates the directories, but the second user for the domain that has a different UID gets an error. default_mail_env = mbox:/vhome/%d/home/%n:INBOX=/vhome/%d/home/%n/INBOX:INDEX=/nobackup/imap-index/%d/%n -- Marc Perkel - marc(a)perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com
