[Dovecot] Help setting up SSL?
by Mike Matz 11 Jun '03

11 Jun '03

Hi, Sorry to bother, I don't know if this mailing list is the right place to look for help setting up dovecot.. Anyway I've got standard IMAP working fine, and I used mkcert.sh after editing the openssl config, and it seemed to work properly (I had to change some directories, I am using the FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT port).. Anyway, when I try to connect using Outlook, here is what the log shows: (without the exact ip address shown, dont hax0r my windows machine!) imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() syscall failed: EOF [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Panic: key not found from hash dovecot: Jun 10 13:13:14 Error: child 32935 (login) killed with signal 6 imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() failed: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Warning: SSL_accept() syscall failed: EOF [12.106.77.x] imap-login: Jun 10 13:13:14 Panic: key not found from hash dovecot: Jun 10 13:13:14 Error: child 32937 (login) killed with signal 6 so it says "decryption failed or bad record mac".. Does this mean I don't have my .pem files set up correctly? Or is there a problem with the OpenSSL libraries? I'd sure appreciate any help you could give me. Thanks, Mike

Hi all - I've added an ebuild for 0.99.9.1 to bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22080 It includes the CR+LF patch. Should be trivial to update for .10 when it makes an appearance :-). Feel free to fix/improve this ebuild - I'm fairly new at them. Zach. -- Services & Support Bulletin Wireless | www.bulletinwireless.com This email is digitally signed | Key ID 0x3F9AA9A2

hi, so the third problem is ssl. the imaps is still not working (and I assume the same apply to pop3s too). I already send the log file which was generated when verbose ssl is set. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

hi, the second thing is the webmail. we use squirrelmail. actualy I don't know whose fault is, but they told that them imap server's:-) first problems is that those mails which has empty body (even if they has an attachments) simple not shown in the mail list (as they even not exists). it'd be nice to check this and find the reason of the problem. this happend with more people. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

[Dovecot] the most serius problems [part 1]

hi, I try to collect out most serious problem with dovecot. so I write a series of mails:-) the first on is the load. has anybody else use dovecot in a real enviromnt with at least hundreds of users and at least 50 concurrent user at the same time? it seems to me no one else just me. the weekend I move the whole mail system to a quad P4 with 1Gb ram and this server do nothing just imap. yesterday evening I have to delete all .imap.index and other dovecot specific files. and as I wrote today morning the load was about 20-30 !!!. but even in an average day the load is over 2-3 white the cpu load is 1-2% in each of the 4 processor. the system is totaly unusable. what more today I've got other errors. of course all the time when I can't find the colution I try to escape to the latest cvs. today finally I compile a new courier install it to another port and those clients which can't connect to dovecot reconfigure to courier. but they are not compatible!!! I have to set root directory to INBOX in courier while not for dovecot and this is a real big problem. is there any way to compile dovecot to use INBOX as a root directory? since in this case at least there is a chance to switch to courier without reconfigure 300 OE6. I try to help to find out the reason for the load in any way, but it seems to me than it's better to change to courier or cyrus since our users getting angry not to mention my boss. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

[Dovecot] 0.99.10-test8
by Timo Sirainen 30 May '03

http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/test/ Again major maildir syncing updates: - uidlist file is accessed and rewritten a lot less often now than before - mail duplicates are detected and handled properly by renaming them to new base name - message flag updates and expunging before did two full syncs for cur/ directory. now it does only one. - some fixes to syncing in read-only / out-of-quota conditions - before we did always a full sync in cur/ directory when mailbox was opened. now it's done only when needed. - fixed some crash/index corruption cases I think syncing should be now very close to having perfect possible performance.
