[Dovecot] Errmsgs b4 and after migration DC V1.0.15 to V1.1.8
Last Wednesday at 12:21 I made this switch, which seemed to be uneventful. In any case, no user has reported problems since the migration. Not content to leave well enough alone, this morning I scanned the syslog and maillog for dovecot related errors. What I found was that: Before the Migration=== I saw a lot of SSL errors that look like this: Jan 14 11:49:23 mercury mail:warn|warning dovecot: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer [69.180.200.184] Jan 14 11:52:28 mercury mail:warn|warning dovecot: imap-login: SSL_read() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer [68.6.82.45] Which l took to be breakin attempts of some sort, except that I haven't seen any since the migration! After the migration I see errors like this: Jan 14 12:21:45 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(eg115): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/eg115/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 1934 Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(alexande): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/alexande/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 132641 Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(ls454): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/ls454/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 47 Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(tr489): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/tr489/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 1 Jan 14 12:21:54 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(bh265): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/bh265/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 2 Jan 14 12:22:01 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(crouch): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/crouch/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 4863 It appears that this error appears the first time a folder is referenced, then not again (I think but am not absolutely positive). Did the indexing method/format change in some way that would cause this (and Dovecot heals itself!) ? Is there any continuing problem inherent in this that needs to be dealt with?

That just means you set verbose_ssl=yes and the client disconnected without sending a SSL BYE command. This is normal. Maybe v1.1 hides these useless messages (I did something related to that at some point). After the migration I see errors like this: Jan 14 12:21:45 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(eg115): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/eg115/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 1934 Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(alexande): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/alexande/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 132641 Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(ls454): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/ls454/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 47 Jan 14 12:21:46 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(tr489): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/tr489/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 1 Jan 14 12:21:54 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(bh265): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/bh265/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 2 Jan 14 12:22:01 mercury mail:err|error dovecot: IMAP(crouch): Corrupted index cache file /var/dcindx/crouch/.imap/INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken MIME parts for mail UID 4863 It appears that this error appears the first time a folder is referenced, then not again (I think but am not absolutely positive). If it happens only once then don't worry about it. Or perhaps you could just go and delete all dovecot.index.cache files to avoid these errors (but that again makes the performance worse temporarily for those whose files are already fixed). Did the indexing method/format change in some way that would cause this (and Dovecot heals itself!) ? Maybe, but I can't really think of any specific reason right now. Is there any continuing problem inherent in this that needs to be dealt with? Hopefully not :) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
