Re: [Dovecot] How to specify /var/spool/mail/m/i/mike

For example:
Mailbox for user 'mike' would be located at /var/spool/mail/m/i/mike
'karen' would be at /var/spool/mail/k/a/karen

[Dovecot] Occasional messages cause Thunderbird to loop
For the last four weeks or so, I have been getting very occasional reports of stuck messages from three users of my mail server.

Re: [Dovecot] Unbreakable NFS locking issues...
Sounds like an issue with nfs 4 to me? We're running nfs3 very happily
no issues like this have happened. I don't see that running nfs4 offers
many advantages over v3 for the email workload.

Subject: [Dovecot] Unbreakable NFS locking issues...
Hello All,
We are struggling to find a solution to a problem we are
encountering
with a load-balanced email setup. Currently, we have a Coyote
loadbalancer,
and 3 Postfix/Dovecot nodes that then get their information
from a mysql
database. The problem is that after a couple weeks, we start
seeing NFS
locking issues occur, which then takes email completely down,
requiring a
site visit to basically do an interactive mode reboot to shut
off NFS so
that we can remount the filesystem again. We have our mailstore on an
Aberdeen NAS which is accessed over NFS v. 4.
Dovecot version 1.1.2
Here's the relevant mysql string:
grep -v '^ *\(#.*\)\?$' dovecot-mysql.conf
driver = mysql
connect = host=X.X.X.X dbname=Something user=Something
password=Something
password_query = SELECT username as user, password,
concat('/NFS1MAILDIR/mailSysV2/', maildir) as userdb_home,
concat('maildir:/NFS1MAILDIR/mailSysV2/', maildir) as
userdb_mail, 143 as
userdb_uid, 143 as userdb_gid, concat('*:bytes=',
floor(quota*1024)) AS
quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'
user_query = SELECT concat('/NFS1MAILDIR/mailSysV2/',
maildir) as home,
concat('maildir:/NFS1MAILDIR/mailSysV2/', maildir) as mail,
concat('maildir:/NFS1MAILDIR/mailSysV2/', maildir) as
maildir, 143 AS uid,
143 AS gid, concat('*:bytes=', floor(quota*1024)) AS
quota_rule FROM mailbox
WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'

Yeah, typical rookie move by posting twice...didn't see my post, so went into the dovecot list setting for my account to adjust it to get a confirmation, and then sent the message again. Really stupid, and I apologize. Generally when lodging requests for help, it pays to use the latest version of software, 1.1.2 is old. Definitely will be doing this, but just wanted to get some information on the locking issue first. mbox over NFS ? That is asking for trouble, mbox is *not* NFS safe, you are best changing to maildir which is. Yeah, this is definitely wrong. Everything is in maildir format on the mailstore. Question is, why would this even be working at all if it's wrong in the config? The sql connection string has maildir defined in it, so, I'm wondering if that might explain it. Also, the indexes are not local which I believe has been the recommendation. Also Lockd appears to be enabled on both sides. -Rod Firstly, posting the same message with a slightly modified subject wont get you any answers any sooner, please refrain from doing this, it only gives you a bad name and may have the opposite affect to one you desire.

Hello Thorsten ,
sorry then again
details: i got dspam working, it now scans incoming mails and tag them
in the headers.

X-DSPAM-Probability: = 1.

so far okay.
i emerged dovecot-antispam. and thought its easy going , just paste the
code snippet of man dovecot-antispam to the
imap section in the dovecot.conf . but thats not all i think.
i thought now, when moving a mail from incoming to SPAM something
happens, but despam.dbug and /var/log/messages dont show anything happen.
i did this in the dovecot.conf =
mail_plugins = antispam
mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
plugin {
antispam_trash = trash;Trash;Deleted Items;Deleted Messages
antispam_spam = SPAM;Spam
antispam_dspam_binary = /usr/bin/dspam
antispam_dspam_args = --user;%u
}
but as told above , moving mails into folder SPAM or from SPAM to
incoming dont causes any action the log.files
when i retstart dovecot i got following output on screen =
/etc/init.d/dovecot restart

dovecot is running after restart and fully working, accepting mails ,
sending mails all oke.
dunno if i told before to you, i use postfix-dovecot-mysql setup,
virtual users domains
if you need any other config file or info lemme know.
i really want this nice tool to get working.
thank you

Hello Thorsten,
i sorted out to get dspam working,
but it tags too much mails as spam, even mials that are not spam,
now thats the poinzt where dovecot-antispam comes in,
now my idea is, that mails that get spam tag by dspam,
to retrain by dovecot-antispam.
but i dont get thru it.
maybe this is now the pont where you can help me ?
Asking for help without providing any detail is rather pointless.

[Dovecot] Dovecot master process
We are running into a situation where Dovecot master is simply trying to do too much. It some situations, we are finding that there are times in which it cannot service requests. Restarting Dovecot seems to help in these situations, possibly due to the fact that it no longer has to manage its THOUSANDS of file descriptors for pipes to the many imap/proxy processes that it uses for logging. Is there a way to turn off logging through the master process (in exchange for lesser security)? If not, would it be easy to have the master process do its logging using separate threads (which would help on some modern hardware)? Finally, would it be easy to delegate the task of logging to a dedicated process? We are still running Dovecot 1.0.0 at this time, on Solaris 10 servers. -- Steven F.

Finally, would it be easy to delegate the task of logging to a dedicated process? I was planning on using separate logger processes with v2.0. For now I guess you could make imap/pop3 processes log directly by changing mail_executable to a script that: 1) Unsets LOG_TO_MASTER environment 2) Sets USE_SYSLOG environment 3) Closes file descriptor 2 (stderr). I'm not actually sure if you can do this using a shell script, might need to use something else. 4) Executes the imap/pop3 binary. http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting tells a bit more about using mail_executable.

Please enable auth_verbose and auth_debug in your configuration file.
Are there any error messages in your log file?

'passdb shadow' supports system users only. Use 'passdb passwd-file'
instead.

[Dovecot] Sieve authentication / directory issue after upgrade to 1.0.13.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi everyone,
I have come across a problem after upgrading from 1.0.rc17 to 1.0.13
(debian builds 1.0.13 is from etch-backports).
I initially upgraded as 1.0.rc17 isn't compiled with regex support, so
vacation messages that were uploaded via horde were being rejected.
(Everything else was working fine, just messages that required regex
functions were failing).
Horde is uploading the filters via pysieved, which is then in turn
placing them in the directory of:
- -
/shared/spool/active/%d/%0.1u/%1.1u/%n/sieve/ingo
- -
At least, it was previously. Since upgrading, dovecot has changed the
way it passes authentication details to pysieved and the domain is no
longer included in the username, so the domain cannot be parsed and
pysieved fails as it is unable to strip a value for %d. (as a quick
aside, this isn't an issue with single domain servers as there is a
defaultdomain option that will force the value for %d, however, since
we have 9 domains to deal with, this isn't going to cut it).
Prior to upgrade, authentication was passed as thus (= are a new line in case
the formatting dies)
-
=== 'AUTH\t1\tPLAIN\tservice=pysieved\tresp=YWNhbD* restofstring *
== [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
= Finished SASL authentication : {'username':'[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'result':
'OK'}
= Plugin returned home
:'/shared/spool/active/sit.auckland.ac.nz/a/c/acal030/'
= Authenticated user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-
Both user and [EMAIL PROTECTED] were being passed and it was a matter of
simple nagging of the pysieved guys to update their code to strip the
required information.
However, the new version is passing auth like this:
-
=== 'AUTH\t1\tPLAIN\tservice=pysieved\tresp=YWNhbD* restofstring *
=== 'OK\t1\tuser=acal030\n'
= Finished SASL authentication : {'username': 'acal030', 'result': 'OK'}
= Plugin returned home : '/shared/spool/active//a/c/acal030/'
- ---
The only change to the dovecot config I have made is to add
allow_all_users=yes to userdb static as the new version was a lot
stricter about the passdb pam lookup not containing the user data (and
failing completely as a result).
In the dovecot logs themselves, the following lines were from the earlier build:
- --
Info: auth(default): client out: OK 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user=acal030
Info: auth(default): master in: REQUEST 243 23994 1
Info: auth(default): master out: USER 243 [EMAIL PROTECTED] home=/blah,
mail=/blah etc.
- --
Compared to this from the new one:
- --
Info: auth(default): auth([EMAIL PROTECTED],130.216.39.182): username changed
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - acal030
Info: auth(default): client out: OK1 user=acal030
Info: auth(default): prefetch(acal030,130.216.39.182): success
Info: auth(default): master out: USER 2 acal030 home=/blah,
mail=/blah etc.
- --
I am rather at the end of my tether with this, unfortunately. :( I have
browsed through many wiki pages looking for a possible solution
or config variable I may have missed, but I really am coming up dry.
Cleaned up dovecot.conf is at: http://pastebin.com/m7f4303af
Should anyone want strace logs or whatever, I'm more than happy to make with
them.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Regards,
