[Dovecot] 0.99.12.1 released
by Timo Sirainen 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

The only difference to 0.99.12 is that it now builds without GNU make. I didn't bother to change the version number so it's still 0.99.12 inside the tarball.

[Dovecot] 0.99.12-1.1.fc1.rf broken?
by alex＠amcms.org 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

Hi, I dont know if this is a dovecot problem, or the rpm build, me, or my computer ;) Was wondering if anyone else has been having problems using the 0.99.12-1.1.fc1.rf release from http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dovecot/ My specific problem is this. 1. Dovecot starts 2. You can login using telnet 3. You can issue a select inbox but nothing seems to happen By this stage dovecot is spiraling out of control, using up almost all my tiny cpu's processor, when usually it uses basically nothing. What appears to happen if you look at the logs is this. ======= Dovecot Log ======= dovecot: Dec 06 10:39:48 Error: login: Authentication process 5634 doesn't exist ======= Dovecot Info Log ======= imap-login: Dec 06 12:36:09 Info: Disconnected: Inactivity [127.0.0.1] Then, I noticed that if I tried to log in again I would have multiple dovecot-auth processes churning away at my processor.... I went thru the config file, and the new one with my changes, still the same. I also restarted dovecot several times, having to kill all the processes manually as service dovecot stop didnt seem to work. Is anyone else having this problem? And do they know how to fix it? Im running dovecot on fedora core 1, using mysql for authenticating. Thanks Alex

[Dovecot] 1.0 test 52 - test 56 upgrade
by Andrew Hutchings 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

Hi guys, I run a LVS cluster system which holds mail via a NFS server in Maildir format, and indexes on the local hard disks. When upgrading from 52-56 about half the index files failed to work correctly, many killing the server. Not really a problem, I just deleted them. Just thought the developer guys should know.

[Dovecot] 1.0-test56
by Timo Sirainen 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ - Lots of fixes for mmap_disable = yes. It finally seems to be working pretty well. - POP3 idle timeouts changed to 10min I just wrote a simple stress test tool for IMAP and I've had one for POP3 for some months. The IMAP stress test was very helpful in finding out the bugs I fixed today. If anyone wants to try them, they're in: http://dovecot.org/tools/

[Dovecot] problem with test56
by Cor Bosman 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

Hi all, im doing some tests with the test56 release and im seeing some problems with APPEND (may be related to something else, I just see it with APPEND). When I ask someone to move some emails from one mailbox to another, after some messages (seemingly random), the client experiences a 'hang'. When tracing the process what seems to happen is that dovecot doesnt send a final OK after that specific email. It's kinda hard to attach a gdb at that point, so for now, maybe someone has seen this also? Cor

Hello, attached patches fixes some bugs in passdb cache. First patch fixes bug which causes passdb cache always return empty scheme for cached passwords. Second patch fixes dovecot-auth crash with passdb cache enabled. I'm not sure that it is proper fix, though.

[Dovecot] IMAP - many folders?
by piotr＠mallorn.ii.uj.edu.pl 05 Dec '04

05 Dec '04

Hi, I've been reading the list and it seems the answer to my (soon to be asked question) is no, at least with 0.99, but I'll ask to be sure. I have following setup: new mail goes to ~/Mail/Maildir, except for mailing lists which are moved by procmail to ~/Mail/mailing_lists/name, spam which goes to ~/Mail/spam. Read mail is moved by mutt to ~/Mail/read. Everything is in maildir format. Is it possibile to configure dovecot in such a way to allow user to access all those mail folders thorough imap/pop? User can access ~/Mail/Maildir by setting default_mail_env, but so far nothing else. -- Piotrek irc: #debian.pl Mors Drosophilis melanogastribus!

[Dovecot] 0.99.12-rc1
by Timo Sirainen 05 Dec '04

05 Dec '04

http://dovecot.org/rc/ Just gathered the patches in dovecot.org/patches/ and a few more that I think have been sent to this list before. If there's anything missing, please tell. - Fix memory leaks in LDAP, MySQL and PGSQL userdb/passdb - Fix hanging when parsing mails that have over 4096 bytes in one line (SMTP servers normally don't allow over 1000 bytes so it shouldn't be much of a problem) - FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE sometimes giving a wrong reply (eg. with FETCH (BODYSTRUCTURE RFC822.SIZE) if it wasn't cached) - Never return more than one INBOX in LIST even if there are such files. They don't work anyway and it just confuses clients. - mbox: Don't allow creating INBOX directory by creating/renaming mailboxes under it. They just wouldn't work. - POP3: Don't return PLAIN in SASL list. We don't support initial SASL responses, so it only breaks with most clients that try to use it.
