[Dovecot] assertion failed: (mailbox_list_is_valid_existing_name(_list, name))
Do you need a gdb backtrace for this one? I'm not sure why all of a sudden this started happening, its probably due to me adding a folder somewhere? not sure. It happened when I went to open my folder subscriptions in thunderbird. It was taking longer than usual (call this phase 1) and I noticed this in the logs: (cant remember if this was phase 1 or 2 but the error is probably the same) Nov 11 00:38:38 boomhauer dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=208.53.102.126, lip=35.9.37.190, TLS Nov 11 00:38:39 boomhauer dovecot: IMAP(mcdouga9): fchown(/egr/mail/shared/decs/temp.boomhauer.3050.af3db3ac545170a7) failed: Operation not permitted Nov 11 00:38:44 boomhauer dovecot: IMAP(mcdouga9): file mailbox-list-maildir.c: line 186 (maildir_list_get_path): assertion failed: (mailbox_list_is_valid_existing_name(_list, name)) Nov 11 00:38:44 boomhauer dovecot: child 3050 (imap) killed with signal 6 Nov 11 00:38:45 boomhauer dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=208.53.102.126, lip=35.9.37.190, TLS Nov 11 00:38:45 boomhauer dovecot: IMAP(mcdouga9): fchown(/egr/mail/shared/decs/temp.boomhauer.3052.5538be060c2f9c7d) failed: Operation not permitted Nov 11 00:38:46 boomhauer dovecot: IMAP(mcdouga9): file mailbox-list-maildir.c: line 186 (maildir_list_get_path): assertion failed: (mailbox_list_is_valid_existing_name(_list, name)) Nov 11 00:38:46 boomhauer dovecot: child 3052 (imap) killed with signal 6 When I cancelled the subscription window, "phase 2" is the same thing but happening more rapidly.

No, maildir always uses dotlocks. This is getting difficult though. After many hours I've finally gotten it to work properly without indexes. But even that required a pretty evil hack.

Wow, scary, but at least finding one awful way to make it work is starting on the road to finding a less awful way :) If I had more time, I'd start looking around the kernel source myself, but I have to get the rest of this project off the ground.

I'm guessing the read cache flushing code doesn't work properly either. No problem, thanks for looking into it. I think I will be satisfied for now with per-server index directories. Do you think it should be safe to have them on NFS as long as only one host accesses that index directory? (with possible, and likely multiple dovecot processes for one user on that host) Also, should I start using dotlock_use_excl anyway as long as it appears to work? I hope Linux supports cache flushes better..

I am working on a script that I want to check when the last time a

6 months I want to automatically suspend the account through the MTA.
If they start checking it again I also want to automatically reinstate
it. What I thought was a good way was to look at the mtime on
dovecot.index but a user can be checking there email daily but if they
do not receive a new message in say 6 months the mtime will date back
to 6 months still. Ran into this with an email address used by a fax
machine.
So is there a better way with dovecot to determine this? I am using
dovecot-1.0.rc29 right now.
[From an email I wrote in October]
You can do this (and many other things) through Post-Login Scripting:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting
See in particular “Last-login tracking”:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting#line-20
[...and for your situation:]
I think I'd avoid actually disabling the account through the MTA,
especially if it's for security considerations and your accounts have
shell access. But it wouldn't be that hard:
In dovecot.conf, set your IMAP login script as follows:
protocol imap {
# ...
mail_executable = /full/path/to/loginscript.sh
Then, use the attached loginscript.sh. (and chmod +x it)
Tested with 1.0.5 under Gentoo. The 'stat' and 'date' commands might need
alteration depending on your particular flavor of O/S.
(I also realized after writing it that you probably meant to disable mail
delivery, not IMAP access. But, it was a fun exercise.)
In that case, all you need in loginscript.sh is:
#!/bin/sh
touch $HOME/.dovecot-lastlogin
exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
Then run a cron job to disable delivery through your MTA of choice.
Best,

Thanks. Well, the code would in two places: src/auth/auth-request.c auth_request_get_var_expand_table() src/master/mail-process.c get_var_expand_table() You could add a new variable that uses my_hostname variable from hostpid.h.

Got that working as a local patch, which I am satisfied with if you don't add an official one.

[Dovecot] Request for variable unique to each server?
I've been looking for a variable I can use in my dovecot.conf within the INDEX= setting so I can have one index dir per imap server on NFS. I've been looking at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables but no variable seems to contain something like server hostname, and I've been hunting for the variable expansion code in dovecot but haven't been able to find it. %l (local IP) won't help me because when using our load balancer, %l is the same IP on all of my servers. %r is close to useful but having a local webmail server on each server means I'd end up with 127.0.0.1 being shared (also I would end up with one directory per unique user/clientIP combo). Is there a variable that holds the server hostname or something else unique per server, or could one be added, or could someone point me at the code? Thanks.
