Error when searching in mailfolders
by Christoph Pleger 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Hello, I just found that with my dovecot 2.2.21, when I use squirrelmail to search for something in my mailfolders, that fails with ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server. Query: SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-1 ALL FROM "someone" That happens for searches in any folder, except from INBOX. When I search in all folders, only results from INBOX are found, then the error message is shown. The log says: imap: Error: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'CLuceneError' imap(christoph): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 2834 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) What can I do about that? Regards Christoph

SSL Problem with -git master-2.2 tip (24 June 16)
by Reuben Farrelly 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Current master-2.2 branch of Dovecot compiles for me on Gentoo x86_64 but experiences symbol errors when starting up: Jun 24 08:38:00 thunderstorm dovecot: lmtp(8180): Fatal: Couldn't load required plugin /usr/lib64/dovecot/libssl_iostream_openssl.so: dlopen() failed: /usr/lib64/dovecot/libssl_iostream_openssl.so: undefined symbol: SSL_COMP_free_compression_methods Jun 24 08:38:00 thunderstorm dovecot: master: Error: service(lmtp): command startup failed, throttling for 16 secs I suspect that this is because I have libressl installed on my systems instead of OpenSSL. A known commit point which does not work is: f5e6b05684328b9800ccd973c73027300c832d65 However a few commits earlier this problem does not occur: f292589f4b85e02d97d974dfe34324c6c0bb9d9f Looks like commit bff052bd29dbf7175ee6cd14bd14bcea1900b869 : "lib-dcrypt, lib-ssl-iostream: Share OpenSSL init/deinit code." may have broken the tree for LibreSSL/non OpenSSL users.

[patch] Fix for returning NULL values in SQL dict lookups
by NederHost/Sebastiaan Hoogeveen 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Hi, I noticed a bug doing dict lookups on an SQLite database which had NULL values in its columns; a segmentation fault occurred, probably due to a null pointer dereference in str_tabescape. The problem is that sqlite3_column_text returns a null pointer for column values which are (SQL) NULL. It seems the other database drivers do something similar. The following patch makes the dict server check for null pointers and return a 'not found' reply in those cases (I changed the order around in the decision tree to avoid having to repeat return values): diff -Naur dovecot-2.2.24/src/dict/dict-commands.c dovecot-2.2.24-patched/src/dict/dict-commands.c --- dovecot-2.2.24/src/dict/dict-commands.c 2016-04-26 15:01:20.000000000 +0200 +++ dovecot-2.2.24-patched/src/dict/dict-commands.c 2016-05-11 22:04:06.000000000 +0200 @@ -83,14 +83,14 @@ { struct dict_connection_cmd *cmd = context; - if (result->ret > 0) { + if (result->ret > 0 && result->value) { cmd->reply = i_strdup_printf("%c%s\n", DICT_PROTOCOL_REPLY_OK, str_tabescape(result->value)); - } else if (result->ret == 0) { - cmd->reply = i_strdup_printf("%c\n", DICT_PROTOCOL_REPLY_NOTFOUND); - } else { + } else if (result->ret < 0) { i_error("%s", result->error); cmd->reply = i_strdup_printf("%c\n", DICT_PROTOCOL_REPLY_FAIL); + } else { + cmd->reply = i_strdup_printf("%c\n", DICT_PROTOCOL_REPLY_NOTFOUND); } dict_connection_cmds_flush(cmd->conn); } Kind regards, -- Sebastiaan Hoogeveen NederHost https://www.nederhost.nl/ KvK: 34099781

29 Jun '16

Hello, We are using dovecot (2.2.10) and it's working great! When I enable chrooting by appending /./ to the homedirs I'm getting errors like this: mail1 dovecot[47074]: imap(user): Error: Temp file creation to /tmp/dovecot.imap.mail1.70079. failed: No such file or directory On the surface everything seems to be working fine and I have not been able to produce the error myself. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, bvr.

dsync unstable? (other strange detail)
by Heiko Schlittermann 28 Jun '16

Hi, I'm trying to migrate from Cyrus (remote side) to Dovecot 2.2.24 (local). On the local side the destinations folders, and indexes are empty. The command I'm using is doveadm \ -o mail_plugins= \ -o imapc_master_user=<cyrus-user> \ -o imapc_password=<cyrus-password> \ -o imapc_host=<cyrus-ip> \ \ -o imapc_ssl_verify=no \ -o imapc_ssl=imaps \ -o imapc_port=993 \ backup -f -u "heiko" -R imapc: \ || { rc=$? echo "EXIT: $rc" >&2 exit $rc } On successive runs of the above command I get: dsync(heiko): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Serververwaltung.Mailinglisten Anforderung': UID=16 GUID= is missing locally EXIT: 75 dsync(heiko): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Serververwaltung.Mailman': UID=2 GUID= is missing locally EXIT: 75 dsync(heiko): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Serververwaltung.Servermeldungen': UID=514 GUID= is missing locally EXIT: 75 dsync(heiko): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Serververwaltung.Servermeldungen.AIDE': UID=188292 GUID= is missing locally EXIT: 75 dsync(heiko): Warning: Deleting mailbox 'Serververwaltung.Servermeldungen.AIDE.AIDE - 2012': UID=9343 GUID= is missing locally EXIT: 75 Any idea where to look next? Is 'doveadm backup' the wrong tool for such migration? (I'd say with about 2.2.9 I had similar problems, but at least it didn't stop at every subfolder.)

FTS search used / useful on an IMAP proxy?
by Luca Lesinigo 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

We are preparing an IMAP proxy based on dovecot-2.2.22, basic proxy functionality is already working and I’m trying to understand if having the FTS service configured on the dovecot *proxy* would be of any use. I do suspect it would be useless, I guess dovecot in imap proxy mode just forwards any command to the backend and does not bother to do anything about it, but I’m failing to find a definitive answer in the documentation. If I am guessing correctly, an fts service would only be useful if configured and working on the actual backend. Can anyone clarify my doubts? thank you, -- Luca Lesinigo

Disabling passdb pam in local.conf
by Patrick Ben Koetter 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Greetings, I'm trying to create a configuration that leaves every config file deployed by an install process or paket management software untouched. The goal is to put every configuration required into /etc/dovecot/local.conf. I've come quite far, but I fail to disable pam as passdb service in local.conf. What I get if I run doveconf -n is this section: passdb { driver = pam } It is in there, because 10-auth.conf includes it: !include auth-system.conf.ext These actions are not an option at the moment: - modify /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf and comment/remove the !include-statement - create an /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf which would contain all options required and would not include any other *.conf files Reading http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ConfigFile I see ways to include external files, but nothing to exclude a file in local.conf. Knowing Timo I would expect there is a way to acchieve what I want. I just don't seem to find it. What am I missing?
