[Dovecot] test51 dumping core

OpenBSD 3.6 -current (i386) dovecot-1.0-test51 I'm now getting this error message as soon as I start dovecot: "Authentication client 0 not compatible with this server (mixed old and new binaries?)"

[Dovecot] ./configure --with-mysql --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --with-ssldir=/etc/ssl --with-ssl=openssl
by Tom Sommer 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Hi, I installed dovecot from dovecot-1.0-test51 with this configure line: ./configure --with-mysql --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --with-ssldir=/etc/ssl --with-ssl=openssl When I add this to my dovecot.conf: passdb = mysql /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf I get this in /var/log/maillog when I run "dovecot -c /etc/dovecot.conf": Oct 21 13:59:16 one dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-test51 starting up Oct 21 13:59:17 one dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down Oct 21 13:59:17 one dovecot: auth(default): Unknown userdb type 'mysql' Oct 21 13:59:17 one dovecot: child 13203 (auth) returned error 89 After my ./configure was complete it was also noted that mysql would be built into dovecot as passwd and userdb, so MySQL should be in there. Any ideas? I use MySQL 4.0.17. Thanks -- Tom Sommer

[Dovecot] Problems with thunderbird
by Jonas Lundgren 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

I'm running dovecot-1.0-test50 on openbsd 3.4 and it's working great, exept with thunderbird. Everything works fine with squirrelmail. The instant i log in with thunderbird the imap process goes up to 100% cpu, and instantly goes back down to 0 when i log out. I configured dovecot with the following arguments: --with-vpopmail --with-storages=maildir --without-passwd --without-passwd-file --without-static --without-pop3d --with-mysql --disable-ipv6 --with-ssl=openssl --without-checkpassword --without-bsdauth --without-static-userdb I'm usig the sql as auth, with vpopmail. I've also tried 1.0-test19, test46, 47, 48 and 49. Going to try 0.9.11 now, but in the 0.9-series i've had huge problems with indexes becoming fucked up every couple of hours. (The last 0.9 I tried is 0.9.10.6) Am i doing something wrong or what? -- Best regards, Jonas Lundgren ICQ: #52064961 IRC: neonman @ EFnet, Undernet, Quakenet Mail: jonas.lundgren(a)local.se

[Dovecot] Unable to compile dovecot with Solaris 9 and Forte C
by Toni Viemero 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Just a "heads up". I tried to search mailinglist archives and wiki, but found no similar configurations. Dovecot is unbuildable with the following configuration: SunOS mail 5.9 Generic_112233-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210 cc: Forte Developer 7 C 5.4 2002/03/09 config.log output from ./configure is at: http://iso.ego.fi/misc/dovecot_1.0-test50.log I guess I'll have to bend over for GCC :) -- Toni Viemerö | http://selfdestruct.net "It'll destroy you if you try to make it mean anything to anyone but yourself."

[Dovecot] procmail, mutt, and Mac OS X
by Alan Schmitt 20 Oct '04

20 Oct '04

Hi, I'm using procmail to deliver my mail to my maildir boxes, that are watched by dovecot, and I configured mutt to use imap to access these boxes. After installing a more recent procmail (the default one from Apple has a bug with "/" in the filenames, so I used the one from Fink), I sent myself a message, which was delivered correctly to Maildir/.INBOK/new (I can see the file there). However, I cannot see this file from mutt. I think it is dovecot that is not seeing it, as I tried quitting and restarting mutt. So my question is: how can I tell dovecot that it should check the mailboxes, and is there a way to make it do so regularly? Or is my problem from somewhere else? Thanks a lot, Alan Schmitt -- The hacker: someone who figured things out and made something cool happen. .O. ..O OOO

[Dovecot] installing dovecot on Mac OS X
by Alan Schmitt 20 Oct '04

20 Oct '04

Hi, I'm trying to install dovecot on Mac OS X, and I'm having trouble to make it run. If someone could point me to what I'm doing wrong or suggest some documentation to read, I'd be very glad (I've search the wiki for Mac OS X specific documentation, but could not find any). I installed dovecot using darwinports. The version installed is 0.99.10.5. (It's running well enough to tell me that when I do a: sudo /opt/local/sbin/dovecot --version ;-) Before trying to tweak the configuration file, I wanted first to get dovecot to run. When I first launched it, it told me that there was no dovecot user. After searching for a while, I finally found how to create one (and a dovecot group as well), doing the following: sudo niutil -create / /groups/dovecot sudo niutil -createprop / /groups/dovecot gid 300 sudo niutil -createprop / /groups/dovecot passwd '*' sudo niutil -create / /users/dovecot sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dovecot uid 300 sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dovecot gid 300 sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dovecot name dovecot sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dovecot passwd '*' sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dovecot _writers_passwd root sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dovecot change 0 sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dovecot shell /dev/null sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dovecot home /var/empty sudo niutil -deleteprop / /users/dovecot realname sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dovecot realname 'Dovecot user' sudo niutil -createprop / /users/dovecot expire 0 This seems to create the correct thing, and looking in NetInfo it looks like the other users and groups used for daemons. I then launched dovecot and I got (trying to run it as a normal user, then as root): top% /opt/local/sbin/dovecot Fatal: fchown() failed for /opt/local/var/run/dovecot: Operation not permitted top% sudo /opt/local/sbin/dovecot Warning: Corrected permissions for base directory /opt/local/var/run/dovecot Warning: Corrected permissions for login directory /opt/local/var/run/dovecot/login zsh: bus error sudo /opt/local/sbin/dovecot and it seems that this happens every time I try to launch dovecot. Could someone point me at what I'm doing wrong? The setting I'm aiming for is the following: - being able to read local mail in maildir format using mutt - being able to read local mail using Mail.app and IMAP access - being able to use ssh to connect to the machine and locally run the IMAP server (in order to synchronize mail maybe using isync.sf.net) Thanks a lot, Alan Schmitt -- The hacker: someone who figured things out and made something cool happen. .O. ..O OOO

[Dovecot] Subscription problem with various clients
by Lucky U 20 Oct '04

20 Oct '04

Hi, I'm a newbie with dovecot but i managed to install it and it's running great except i have this weird problem when trying to subscribe folders. I can subscribe to one folder at the time (for example inbox + sent), but if i try to subscribe an other directory client (tried with outlook express 6, Mozilla Thunderbird 0.8, Iloha Webmail) automaticly unsubscribes other directories. I've tried to search a solution for this problem without success. Please help. I'm using Dovecot 0.99.10.2 on FreeBSD 5.0

[Dovecot] test49 "killed with signal 6" errors...
by jross＠wykids.org 20 Oct '04

20 Oct '04

I upgraded yesterday from 1.0test46 to 1.0test49 in an attempt to eliminate an error that a couple of my users were getting. Both users were using Thunderbird 0.6 over imaps, and were getting errors that said: "The current command didn't succeed. The mail server responded: Error in IMAP command UID: Invalid Body [..] Parameter: Missing '>'in'<14336-13057>'. When the user would click the Okay button on the e-mail client error message, the message would be delivered as normal. There wasn't any entry in the system logs about this that I could find. Googling didn't turn up anything concrete. I decided to upgrade to the latest test49 version. Now the same users are getting occasional e-mails that will not display, and I'm getting the follwing in the logs: 2004-10-20 09:48:51.854386500 mail.info: Oct 20 09:48:51 dovecot: imap-login: Login: jgarcia [69.146.158.154] 2004-10-20 09:49:13.195974500 mail.err: Oct 20 09:49:13 dovecot: IMAP(jgarcia): Trying to allocate 0 bytes 2004-10-20 09:49:13.197151500 mail.err: Oct 20 09:49:13 dovecot: child 14738 (imap) killed with signal 6 I upgraded one of the users to the latest Thunderbird with no change. But, if I have them go through our web interface (horde/imp) the same message displays just fine. The mail server is OpenBSD 3.6 -current. Dovecot is built with the following configuration: ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc \ --with-ssl=openssl \ --with-pam=NO \ --with-ldap=no \ --with-vpopmail=no \ --with-rawlog I added the --with-rawlog switch yesterday and created a dovecot.rawlog folder in the Maildirs but nothing seems to be logged. Any other information I can provide please let me know. Thanks, Jeff Ross -- http://wykids.org/
