[Dovecot] Re: Dovecot inotify problem

Hi Reuben, I hope you don't mind me copying the dovecot list again. > dovecot: Aug 21 04:08:22 Error: IMAP(reuben): inotify_rm_watch() failed: > Invalid argument Odd. > This is with a 2.6.13-rc6-mm1 release. I've posted to LKML because there is > also a kernel stack produced at one point which looks inotify related (but the > messages above are contant). > See http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0508.2/1180.html and the > followup from akpm. Thanks for the link. I don't think akpm is right, unless something is really odd here. Could you add debugging output for me please? Maybe something like (this is not a patch you can apply, look at line 164 in src/lib/ioloop-notify-inotify.c) ctx->inotify_fd = inotify_init(); + i_warning("inotify_init returned fd %d", ctx->inotify_fd); if (ctx->inotify_fd == -1) { and line 106: IN_CLOSE | IN_MODIFY); + i_warning("inotify_add_watch returned %d", watchdescriptor); if (watchdescriptor < 0) { and line 145: } + inotify_rm_watch("removing wd %d from inotify fd %d", io->notify_context, ctx->inotify_fd); if (inotify_rm_watch(ctx->inotify_fd, io->notify_context) < 0) Or something similar. If that doesn't help and output looks consistent (we're not removing a watch descriptor from a wrong fd etc.), can you try removing the fd_close_on_exec call please (line 171)? I don't know if that could cause trouble (I don't even think that the imap binary ever forks) but you never know. johannes

Dovecot IDLE problem (was Re: [Dovecot] inotify support in dovecot)
by Reuben Farrelly 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Hi, I've come across some possibly buggy behaviour with regards to Dovecot and the use of the IDLE keyword. Found this while testing out inotify support for Johannes - although after asking him and him reproducing it, he is of the opinion that it's not a inotify specific problem. The behaviour is that when the client is idling, Dovecot seems to only alert to the first new message received, and if a subsequent new message comes in before the client finishes idling, that second new message is not notified to the connected client. To reproduce: $ maildirmake /tmp/imap-test $ cat >/tmp/1 <<EOF From: test To: test Subject: test test! <Ctrl-D> $ MAIL=Maildir:/tmp/imap-test /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap ... A SELECT INBOX B IDLE [now, in a different terminal, copy /tmp/1 to /tmp/imap-test/new, you should instantly be notified of it in your imap session] ** Dovecot correctly responds with: * 1 EXISTS * 1 RECENT [if a second message is delivered, eg by copying /tmp/1 to /tmp/imap-test/new/2 then you should be notified as well, but this never occurs] DONE C LOGOUT $ Timo - what do you think?

[Dovecot] Dovecot Feature List
by Marc Perkel 21 Aug '05

21 Aug '05

I've added a new page to the Wiki that's sort of a Dovecot feature list overview. What I have is a good start but if anyone wants to jump in and contribute, go for it. I added it because there isn't any other place I saw that gives new people an overview of what Dovecot does. I personally passed Dovecot over a few times before somone pointed me back to it. http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/DovecotFeatures Just my way of giving something back to the Dovecot community. -- Marc Perkel - marc(a)perkel.com Spam Filter: http://www.junkemailfilter.com My Blog: http://marc.perkel.com

Hi, is there a way to get Dovecot to output a Logout line that includes the IP address that has logged out please ? This would make it a lot easier to use with pop-before-smtp. Thanks Rob -- This message has been scanned for viruses and other dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[Dovecot] 1.0 alpha1 and postfix dovecot auth
by Kevin 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Does the postfix-2.2.1-dovecot-auth patch not work with 1.0alpha1? I was using the stable branch and it was working fine. Tried out 1.0alpha1 and now when I connect to postfix it logs this error. Aug 19 11:25:19 redefine postfix/smtpd[17343]: fatal: SASL: connect failed: No such file or directory I've tried with postfix-2.2.4 and 2.2.5. Right now I'm using auth default but I also tried auth default_with_listener. Anybody else using this patch seeing this?
