Re: [Dovecot] RHEL5/CentOS5 YUM repo, rpm, or spec file for 2.0?
Anyone know of a YUM repo. RPM or spec file for Dovecot 2.0 and friends? http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/ I haven't tried the 2.0 rpms yet, but we were very happy with the 1.0/1.1/1.2 packages on centos

[Dovecot] Exchange-replacement with SOGo
I thought some people here would be interested: Recently SOGo added support for OpenChange, which means Outlook can natively access it via MAPI the same way as Exchange. Everything is open source, and the great thing about SOGo is that it uses existing IMAP server for mails rather than reimplementing yet another one itself. They seem to prefer Cyrus, but apparently Dovecot should work too. For non-mail (calendar, etc) it uses SQL, but I heard it's not too difficult to replace that either if someone would prefer some NoSQL database or something. http://www.sogo.nu/ http://www.openchange.org/

[Dovecot] gnus/dovecot open transactions panic
I have been using dovecot with gnus for a long time. Recently, I started getting failures, and I think it's a dovecot problem triggered by gnus being more aggressive, but I'd like to hear opinions about whether I should pursue this as a gnus bug. The log shows: Oct 25 19:27:36 gdtserver dovecot: IMAP(gdt): Panic: Trying to close mailbox foo.bar with open transactions Oct 25 19:27:36 gdtserver dovecot: dovecot: child 26231 (imap) killed with signal 6 (core not dumped - set mail_drop_priv_before_exec=yes) and this seems to be triggered when dovecot is going GCC: to a local mailbox (not imap) when sending, but also semi-randomly. most of dovecot -n: (I'm sure that I'm not having auth problems and would rather not post that part): # 1.2.14: /usr/pkg/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: NetBSD 5.1_RC1 i386 protocols: imaps login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/pkg/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_processes_count: 4 login_max_processes_count: 16 max_mail_processes: 32 first_valid_uid: 128 mail_location: maildir:~/IMAP I have 162 mailboxes polled by gnus on this dovecot instance. I get the panic on various mailboxes and I can't see a pattern. I do get Checking new news... nnimap-send-command: SIGPIPE raised on process *nnimap*; closed it From gnus. I then look at the listed one in the panic, and *imap-log* From gnus. This just may be an artifact of pipelining, but the panic-list mbox has 30 more after it that were sent, as in: 19:35:43 506 EXAMINE "mbox.named-in-panic" (QRESYNC (1208908407 1)) [30 more lines] I'm guessing that this is a dovecot problem. I realize I should update to 1.2.15 :-) but I didn't see anything in the 1.2.15 release notes that looks like a match. pgpSUfgaRqUhp.pgp Description: PGP signature

I use fts squat, but it seems whenever I do a body search of an IMAP folder that the index is cold, thus I don't often get the benefit of the index. Would maildir, dbox, or mdbox give better performance here with a cold index? Full text search is the main reason I've stayed with mbox. I've never noticed any performance issues (not after you recommended I enable very_dirty_syncs that is). That's all kinda off topic though. The main reason I asked about preallocation in first place was merely to limit file fragmentation. As I understand it, some types of preallocation can be each time the file is written, in essence extending the tail at the end of the file. Something like this won't eliminate fragmentation, but it should lessen the number of fragments as the file grows. I'm not currently running into performance problems due to fragmentation, but it could/will happen at some point. Currently I'm running xfs_fsr twice a week via cron to keep fragmentation at bay. Those running mbox on any other filesystem would benefit from this limited fragmentation as no other FS has a working online defragmenter. Anyhow, it sounds like even if it could somehow be done with mbox it would be pretty difficult to implement, and not provide much ROI as apparently few OPs still use mbox. It's really cool to hear that preallocation should work very well WRT eliminating fragmentation of mdbox as you said their is a maximum file size. This seems like a perfect fit. -- Stan

I think the overquota situation should work the same way with Sieve as without Sieve: It logs one line to info log, something like: deliver(tss): Info: msgid=: save failed to INBOX: Out of quota (I guess it already does this in addition to writing the same info to dovecot.sieve.log?) Or I guess it becomes more problematic with multiple actions. Hmm. What does it log now if you fileinto to two mailboxes and also forward the mail? Maybe each of those actions should do mail_deliver_log(), resulting in: deliver(tss): Info: msgid=: saved mail to INBOX deliver(tss): Info: msgid=: saved mail to backup deliver(tss): Info: msgid=: forwarded mail to

Hi Timo, it worked
with all explains you made,
for note: tested with outlook express ( as the worst client my users
mostly use ) also no mail doubles redownloads etc
for luck it seems that m$ has no default email client integrated in win7

[Dovecot] Recommendation for OCFS2 filesystem type
Hello When creating an OCFS2 filesystem, one can specify a "filesystem type" option: -T filesystem-type Specify how the filesystem is going to be used, so that mkfs.ocfs2 can chose optimal filesystem parameters for that use. The supported filesystem types are: mail Appropriate for file systems which will have many meta data updates. Creates a larger journal. datafiles Appropriate for file systems which will host a rela‐ tively small number of very large files. A small journal is selected. Cluster size will be at least 128K. Considering I'm using a separate partition for the dovecot indices, and that I'm using mdbox, would it be more appropriate to use 'datafiles' for the mail location partition and 'mail' just for the indices? Or would 'mail' be appropriate for both even with the larger files created by mdbox? Thanks, Andre

%g is always the best value, except with mbox because it doesn't have
true GUIDs. Of course, if you change it now the pop3 clients will
redownload all mails.

This is useful only if you converted from another POP3 server to
Dovecot. Keep it "no".
> pop3_save_uidl = ? what ist the most compatible/konservative setting
> with maildir on a cluster filesystem
This can be useful if you're changing pop3_uidl_format setting. First
set this to "yes", then make sure all users have logged in with POP3,
and then it's safe to change pop3_uidl_format because the old UIDLs have
been permanently saved to dovecot-uidlist file.

I don't think you need the INBOX lines above, since RealMails/* should
match them already.

This no longer works like this with v2.0. Change them to e.g.:
AS namespace_1_inbox -> AS 'namespace/default/inbox'
AS namespace_2_inbox -> AS 'namespace/virtual/inbox'
Then give those same names to your namespaces:

Interesting. It tries to use "shared^user/box^" as the namespace prefix
instead of "shared^user^box^" as it should. I still don't see why
though, and can't reproduce it. Try what it logs with attached patch?

[Dovecot] virtual plugin broken ? dovecot 2.0.6
Hi Timo,
looks like virtual plugin is broken now with my setup dovecot 2.0.6
cant say to which version it stopped working ( didnt tested it trough
all ) but has worked
i see nothing special in log why it stopped working
it should show unseen mail i.e in folder Junk too
with pop3 clients, but only shows new inbox mails
after all i am confused what using better
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv ( most compatible )
or
pop3_uidl_format = %g ( better with virtual )
pop3_reuse_xuidl = ? what ist the most compatible/konservative setting

Well, this is the reason. It crashes. gdb backtrace would be helpful in
solving this.
You should be able to get a core dump by:
1. Set:
service auth {
user = root
}
2. Run "ulimit -c unlimited" before starting Dovecot. If it still says
"core dumps disabled" in the log file, it means that your init script
disabled them again. Then you could e.g. just run "dovecot" directly
without init script.
You can then get gdb backtrace with:
gdb /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/auth /var/run/dovecot/core
bt full

Run lda.sh instead: #!/bin/sh ulimit -c cd $HOME /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda $@ code=$? if [ $code = 134 ]; then # SIGABRT exit 75 # EX_TEMPFAIL fi exit $code Hopefully with the ulimit -c you'll also get a core dump? gdb backtrace from that would be very helpful then.

It's only for mdbox because they have a known upper size (mdbox_rotate_size). With mbox the only possibility would be to let admin specify how large the files should be preallocated to. And how would the admin know? And should different mailboxes have different preallocated sizes? For example "Drafts" mailbox is unlikely to ever grow very large. And in any case, if you care about performance mbox isn't really the best choice.

[Dovecot] Manual login to SSL-protected port?
List, good afternoon, Dovecot and mail clients work fine. Several recent postings mention trying telnet to check this or that and, since I was considering using a spreadsheet plug-in to analyse some mail statistics by directly connecting to the server, I thought I'd try to test what the command sequence was that I might be able to use, and what message data was available (headers etc). We use only SSL-protected ports. Is it possible to manually login to dovecot when dovecot uses SSL-protected imap ports? I've tried telnet and the telnet localhost 993 login user pass resulted in connection closure, as I (think I) would expect because telnet doesn't use SSL (does it?). I checked man telnet and it described authentication options but when I tried telnet localhost 993 auth enable ? to check what auth protocols it allows, the connection closed. I tried SSH but it just 'hung' - presumably SSH expects an SSH server at the other end, not dovecot. Is it possible to manually login to a dovecot SSL imap port? regards, Ron

IMAP would still be the simplest solution. You could do something like: printf "1 select inbox2\n2 copy 1:* INBOX\n3 delete inbox2\n" | /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap -u username

This configuration looks correct, but if clients are using INBOX/ as
namespace path, then the public/ isn't visible.

Looks correct to me.

I think this is more likely a client problem. You could verify by
talking IMAP protocol directly:
telnet localhost 143
a login user pass
b list "" *
c subscribe public/spam
d lsub "" *
If all of those return correct info, it's a client problem. One thing
you could do is to set the public namespace's prefix to INBOX/public/
although that's kind of ugly too.
If the IMAP commands are also returning wrong info, set mail_debug=yes
and show the logs.

[Dovecot] 2.0.3 Bug - hanging issue
We had this this morning: Oct 25 12:36:34 msslat dovecot: imap(keh2): Error: user keh2: Initialization failed: Namespace '#mbox/': mkdir(/stage/mail/imap1/keh2/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=2291(keh2) egid=101(luci) missing +w perm: /stage/mail/imap1, euid is not dir owner) Oct 25 12:36:34 msslat dovecot: imap(keh2): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Oct 25 12:36:35 msslat dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=128.40.73.160, lip=128.40.73.13, mpid=26736 Oct 25 12:36:35 msslat dovecot: imap(keh2): Error: user keh2: Initialization failed: Namespace '#mbox/': mkdir(/stage/mail/imap1/keh2/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=2291(keh2) egid=101(luci) missing +w perm: /stage/mail/imap1, euid is not dir owner) Oct 25 12:36:35 msslat dovecot: imap(keh2): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Because the parent directory was rwxr-xr-x root.root The problem is that for some reason dovecot then wedged and a lot of other stuff piled up behind it, causing people to complain their mail wasn't coming through. Load average climbed to over 100. Creating the user directories freed things up...

[Dovecot] ldap whithout base
It's possible to configure a ldap passdb and userdb without base? Now, it's running but it can't authenticate users and it sent a message like that after . login . NO [UNAVAILABLE] Temporary authentication failure.
