[Dovecot] 0.99.10.5 released
by Timo Sirainen 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

One more bugfix since rc2: - Maildir: synchronization might have sometimes set wrong flags to messages, or crash completely Quite rare because we were lucky before :) And list of all the changes one more time: v0.99.10.5 2003-12-27 Timo Sirainen <tss(a)iki.fi> + MySQL authentication, patch by Matthew Reimer + --with-moduledir configure option - mbox: APPEND reversed given \Draft and \Deleted flags - mbox: "LF not found" errors happened sometimes when X-IMAPbase header was updated. Possibly corrupted mbox sometimes. Thanks to Fabrice Bellet for finding this bug. - Custom flags couldn't be unset - Maildir: make sure ":2," is appended to filename when moving mails from new/ to cur/. - Maildir: synchronization might have sometimes set wrong flags to messages, or crash completely - Maildir: RENAME xx inbox.xx didn't result as uppercased ".INBOX.xx" directory which then couldn't be accessed - Don't crash with RAND_bytes() error messages anymore. This mostly happened with Fedora/RedHat.

[Dovecot] 1.0-test17
by Timo Sirainen 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ Just mbox fixes since 1.0-test16. The logic is simpler and more correct now. Can anyone break it anymore? I actually tested it a while with Evolution and several mailboxes and it didn't break at least immediately. :) Now maybe a few more days and I dare trying this thing myself with my real mboxes (yes, I'm still using them). Dovecot mailing list archives could soon be served with 1.0-tests too, as soon as I get support for read-only mboxes working again (storing and comparing MD5 summed headers).

[Dovecot] 1.0-test18
by Timo Sirainen 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

http://dovecot.org/test/ Again mostly just mbox fixes. The good thing is that the code is only getting cleaner and more understandable with every release. But I think it's clean enough now that this release should work :) It also has checkpassword passdb support. Supporting it as userdb isn't yet implemented. I think I'll make some generic caching thingy, so that if passdb is same as userdb, they both could be queried from database in one query. Probably by allowing pass_query/pass_filter to return them.

by Timo Sirainen 18 Jun '04

18 Jun '04

http://dovecot.org/rc/ Since rc1: - Changed a few comments in dovecot-example.conf - Changed a few error messages. Most importantly: "Internal error occured. Error report written to server log." .. maybe that would get more people to look for the real error in the log file :) - Added NAMESPACE command - Fixed SHA1 compiling issue - Fixed FreeBSD compiling issue

Hi all, I'm stuck on getting dovecot to work for 2 days. Here's the logfile entries from the startup process(es) dovecot: Jun 18 14:48:43 Info: Dovecot starting up dovecot-auth: Jun 18 14:48:44 Fatal: Can't open passwd-file /var/run/dclogin/mail-passwd: No such file or directory dovecot: Jun 18 14:48:44 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down dovecot: Jun 18 14:48:44 Error: child 7313 (auth) returned error 89 imap-login: Jun 18 14:48:44 Fatal: fd_send(-1) failed: Broken pipe pop3-login: Jun 18 14:48:44 Fatal: fd_send(-1) failed: Broken pipe The strange thing is, the file I've specified does exist -- i created it manually -- and the 1 entry in that file is this: steve:s13fj3NHakds.:10001:5000::/var/run/dovecot/home/steve:/sbin/nologin::~/Mail/:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/steve What's even stranger -> every time I try to startup dovecot, the passwd-file that is seen to be "missing" gets deleted!!!! why???
