Re: [Dovecot] Broken Debian package
Hi, Thanks for the fast reply! Looks like Debian Dovecot itself is actually OK. To determine this firstly I created a new user and find I can connect to the new user's inbox using squrrelmail OK, but some old users dont work I next connected to another user's account and that works fine... so I assume its a "format" issue of the mail structure for that one user...The Q is how to re-instate/repair the existing mail box for the old user(s)is there a script I an run to repair? or update the format? As below, test is the new user and is OK, phoebe is an old user and is OK, user thing is broken regards Steven dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:09:36 Error: IMAP(thing): seq = 186, rec->uid = 0, first_new_seq = 188, records = 187 dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:09:36 Error: child 21078 (imap) killed with signal 6 dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:12:35 Info: imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.102, lip=192.168.1.254, TLS dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:12:35 Info: IMAP(phoebe): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:17:34 Info: imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.102, lip=192.168.1.254, TLS dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:17:34 Info: IMAP(phoebe): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:17:55 Info: imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:17:55 Info: IMAP(test): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:17:55 Info: imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:17:58 Info: IMAP(test): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:18:58 Info: imap-login: Login: user=, method=plain, rip=192.168.1.101, lip=192.168.1.254, TLS dovecot: 2008-04-06 12:19:16 Info: IMAP(phoebe): Disconnected in IDLE
[Dovecot] Broken Debian package
Hi, I have run Dovecot via Debian for some years but in the last few weeks something has brokenI have been upgrading Debian but today rebooted it to try and sort out a failed DLTnow I find dovecot is non-functional So, Where to look for faults please? ie logs? can I make dovecot verbose? Thunderbird if telling me Dovecot is not imap4 compliantand I cannot connect to it... I have tried re-installing Dovecot but the Debian package contains no dovecot.confso I have dovecot imap-d and dovecot common installed but no config. So I copied back the config files from a safe location When I start up I get, hermes:/var/log# tail dovecot dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:32:32 Info: Dovecot v1.0.rc15 starting up hermes:/var/log# So trying to connect, tail -f (on /var/log/dovecot), dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:34 Info: imap-login: Login: user=, method=plain, rip=192.168.1.101, lip=192.168.1.254, TLS dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:34 Error: IMAP(thing): seq = 186, rec->uid = 0, first_new_seq = 188, records = 187 dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:34 Error: child 20048 (imap) killed with signal 6 dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:34 Info: imap-login: Login: user=, method=plain, rip=192.168.1.101, lip=192.168.1.254, TLS dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:34 Error: IMAP(thing): seq = 186, rec->uid = 0, first_new_seq = 188, records = 187 dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:34 Error: child 20050 (imap) killed with signal 6 dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:34 Info: imap-login: Login: user=, method=plain, rip=192.168.1.101, lip=192.168.1.254, TLS dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:34 Error: IMAP(thing): seq = 186, rec->uid = 0, first_new_seq = 188, records = 187 dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:34 Error: child 20052 (imap) killed with signal 6 dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:35 Info: imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.102, lip=192.168.1.254, TLS dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:35 Info: imap-login: Login: user=, method=plain, rip=192.168.1.101, lip=192.168.1.254, TLS dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:35 Error: IMAP(thing): seq = 186, rec->uid = 0, first_new_seq = 188, records = 187 dovecot: 2008-04-06 11:57:35 Error: child 20062 (imap) killed with signal 6 squirrelmail is also now dead Ideas please? regards Steven
