replication Error with wrong file lock

Hi there, I have setup a replication between two dovecot servers. It seems working: # doveadm replicator status '*' && doveadm replicator dsync-status && doveadm replicator status username priority fast sync full sync success sync failed ******************** none 00:59:22 18:50:17 18:21:25 - ********************low 01:54:26 18:57:58 - y ********************none 21:42:55 21:47:55 21:36:24 - ******************** none 21:14:57 21:51:07 21:33:13 - ********************none 21:13:52 21:51:04 21:17:57 - ********************none 00:04:23 01:29:24 - y ********************none 02:34:15 21:56:23 02:34:15 - ******************** none 00:03:56 18:55:17 - y ********************none 01:18:42 01:18:42 19:18:46 - ********************none 21:20:04 21:24:46 21:43:49 - ********************none 00:05:13 00:09:36 21:47:55 - ********************none 00:16:50 18:55:17 18:45:57 - ********************none 00:04:23 18:55:17 38:07:24 y username type status - Not connected - Not connected - Not connected ********************normal Waiting for dsync to finish - Not connected Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 1 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 0 Waiting 'failed' requests 3 Total number of known users 13 But on the one server, I found this errors repeating and this users are at the list above marked as failed: Oct 18 09:41:08 dsync-local(1(a)tld.de): Error: Couldn't lock /srv/mail/mail_storage/tld.de/1/.dovecot-sync.lock: fcntl(/srv/mail/mail_storage/tld.de/1/.dovecot-sync.lock, write-lock, F_SETLKW) locking failed: Timed out after 30 seconds (WRITE lock held by pid 71613) The directory shows: # ls -la /srv/mail/mail_storage/celebrate.de/1/ | grep '\.dove' drwxrwxrwx 5 vpostfix vpostfix 4096 Oct 18 08:55 .dovecot -rw------- 2 vpostfix vpostfix 0 Oct 18 09:37 .dovecot-sync.lock -rwxrwxrwx 1 vpostfix vpostfix 912 Mar 20 2023 .dovecot.sieve.log -rwxrwxrwx 1 vpostfix vpostfix 275 Oct 11 00:00 .dovecot.svbin So it seems, that there are more processes want accessing same locking file.

Sieve script error when quota is full
by Kosti 18 Oct '24

Hello. My sieve script gives an error; "failed with unsuccessful implicit keep". Here is maillog file output; (Yes my user does has quota exceeded, but is this the issue for the sieve script and is it normal for the script give such output?) postfix dovecot: lda(me(a)mydomain.com)<50709><iEd4O9YLDGcVxgAA/dJgOw>: sieve: msgid=<x(a)jol.mysite.com>: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) postfix dovecot: lda(me(a)mydomain.com)<50709><iEd4O9YLDGcVxgAA/dJgOw>: sieve: Execution of script /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve failed with unsuccessful implicit keep postfix dovecot: lda(me(a)mydomain.com)<50709><iEd4O9YLDGcVxgAA/dJgOw>: msgid=<x(a)jol.mysite.com>: rejected: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) And /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve file contains: require ["fileinto"]; if header :contains "X-Spam" "Yes" { fileinto "Junk"; stop; } Any idea would be much appreciated. Best regards.

Piegeonhole and PATH variable
by Julien Salort 18 Oct '24

18 Oct '24

Hello, I have a dovecot-sieve rule that has been working fine for years which calls sa-learn whenever a message is moved from or to the Junk folder. Recently, but I don't know when it started exactly, this no longer works. I get the following error message in mail.log: dovecot: imap: Error: Use of uninitialized value $ENV{"PATH"} in split at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base/File/Spec/Unix.pm line 136. Error: program exec:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/sa-learn-spam.sh (2526990): Forcibly terminated with signal 15 Error: sieve: failed to pipe message to program `sa-learn-spam.sh': refer to server log for more information. [2024-10-16 10:16:51] Error: sieve: Execution of script /usr/lib/dovecot/sieve-pipe/report-spam.sieve failed The content of report-spam.sieve is require ["vnd.dovecot.pipe", "copy", "imapsieve", "environment", "variables"]; if environment :matches "imap.user" "*" { set "username" "${1}"; } pipe :copy "sa-learn-spam.sh" [ "${username}" ]; So my guess is that one of the require on the first line triggers this Unix.pm, and it fails because somehow the PATH variable is not set in this context. However, I am at a complete loss to determine how to change the environment variable in the context of dovecot-sieve. And also, I am not sure why this would be required. Does somebody know how to fix this problem, or alternatively point me to the relevant part in the documentation? Thanks, Julien

Hello, I noted today unexpected spaces after 'msgid=' in the logs, dovecot-2.3.21.1 produce. First time a message from outlook was under inspection but I found also other sources. there was one (unanswered) question in the list archive, that may be related: https://dovecot.org/mailman3/archives/list/dovecot@dovecot.org/thread/JU3S2… here are some samples: lmtp(user@example)<22995><RtRIK/YvEWfTWQAAf9UaAw>: Info: save: box=INBOX/ietf/folder1/, uid=14143, msgid= <172917948321.1404061.2617721779338535905@dt-datatracker-78dc5ccf94-w8wgc>, size=7904 lmtp(user2(a)example.org)<23156><0cjVE809EWd0WgAAf9UaAw>: Info: save: box=INBOX/foo, uid=2632, msgid= <AM0PR06MB4100D06FAD74B7B33BFFDAA395472(a)AM0PR06MB4100.eurprd06.prod.outlook...., size=16755 But there are also "good" logs without the space for messages to other folders but same source (IETF in this case) lmtp(user@example)<23143><bhcjK288EWdnWgAAf9UaAw>: Info: save: box=INBOX/ietf/folder2/, uid=567, msgid=<62424081-d68e-4334-b9a2-a62d0759cea3(a)gulbrandsen.priv.no>, size=11394 I've no older logs to check if that happened also before updating to 2.3.21.1 Andreas

replicator: Panic: data stack: Out of memory when allocating 275GB

Hello, I found similar reports in this ML with values less than mine but was not able to find the solution. I checked size of all dovecot.* files in /var/mail and it is less than 10Gb. Whole /var/mail dir is 1.8Tb. With vsz_limit it crashes much earlier, this log with 275GB produced by setting vsz_limit = 0 Server has 192GB of RAM, can it be some bug?

How to deactivate "!include conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext" without touching "/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf"?
by postfix_dovecot＠gmx.de 14 Oct '24

14 Oct '24

Hello, I want to deactivate the auth-system.conf.ext because it slows down the system and makes no sense because I utilize passwdfile.conf.ext. I have put all my configurations into the local.conf file, and all the original configuration files remain untouched. I want to stay on this path because that way I know where I made changes, and updates won't cause me any hassle. But how can I deactivate an option that was activated in the original configuration files?" Jens
