[gentoo-user] courier-imap cannot find courier-authlib
I recently upgraded my courier setup (imap and authlib):
basement lib64 # eix -Ic courier
[I] net-libs/courier-authlib (0.65.0-r1@11/01/2012): Courier authentication
library.
[I] net-mail/courier-imap (4.8.0@11/01/2012): An IMAP daemon designed
specifically for maildirs.
After I was finished, the imap server stopped accepting new connections. I
managed to track the problem down to missing shared libraries from
courier-authlib needed by imaplogin:
basement authlib # ldd /usr/sbin/imaplogin
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x029ae5055000)
libcourierauth.so = not found

{\n, 1}], 10imaplogin: error while loading shared libraries:
libcourierauth.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The libraries in question are actually present, but apparently not where
imaplogin expects them to be:
basement lib64 # equery files courier-authlib | grep libcourierauth
/usr/lib64/courier-authlib/libcourierauth.so
/usr/lib64/courier-authlib/libcourierauth.so.0

/usr/lib64/courier-authlib/libcourierauthsaslclient.so
/usr/lib64/courier-authlib/libcourierauthsaslclient.so.0
I've rebuilt both packages and somehow, imaplogin is *building* fine with
the shared library in the wrong place, but refuses to load it at run time.
I have temporarily fixed the problem by symlinking the two missing libraries
into /lib64 but I don't see that as a good long-term solution. I'm really
stumped as to what changed to break things all of the sudden, or how to fix
it.
Is anyone else seeing this problem, or know how to make it go away?

[gentoo-user] courier imap over nfs
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with courier-imap serving mailboxes over NFS. From googling around it seems courier should support remote homedirs but I can't get it working. My user authenticates according to the logs, but the client reports invalid credentials. Remove the NFS home directory and it works again. Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I'm going to have to install courier-imap on solaris, and I really don't feel like that :P Thanks Matt pgpYsw2lMcDLh.pgp Description: PGP signature

The users have no problems at all using the home directory via a shell on any client machine, so I believe permissions are ok. Also, I was a bit misleading when I spoke about mailboxes, we are using Maildir. I just said mailboxes as a term to encompass the mail folders serverd by imap for each account :) I've tried to put courier-imap into debug mode (level 1) and I get what appears to be a successful authentication from pam, but the mail clients still don't like it: authdaemond: received auth request, service=imap, authtype=login authdaemond: authpam: trying this module authdaemond: authpam: sysusername=matt, sysuserid=null, sysgroupid=100, homedir=/home/matt, address=matt, fullname=, maildir=null, quota=null, options=null genesis authdaemond: pam_service=imap, pam_username=matt genesis authdaemond: dopam successful genesis authdaemond: Authenticated: sysusername=matt, sysuserid=null, sysgroupid=100, homedir=/home/matt address=matt, fullname=, maildir=null, quota=null, options=null The only difference in the logs is that an NFS user ends with the above snippet, whereas a normal user goes on to log the imap connection: imapd-ssl: LOGIN, user=matt, ip=[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx], port=[3276], protocol=IMAP On 01/08/2010 18:19, Stroller wrote: Have you considered dovecot?

[gentoo-user] Courier-imap-4.5.0 noticeably faster than 4.0.6
Ran into some issues updating to courier-imap-4.0.6-r3 on my VPS so I decided to take the plunge and go straight to 4.5.0 which is unstable. 4.5.0 is much faster and Thunderbird barely registers email in the Inbox before the messages are moved to the appropriate folder. My installation is also a combination of cyrus-sasl, authdaemon from courier-authlib, Mysql based virtual accounts, ssl certs for imap and smtp, and Postfix. No changes were needed in courier-imap config files other than restoring imap.conf settings. I don't think Courier-imap is faster than Dovecot based on other people's experience, but has rather reached speed parity with it. If you're already on Dovecot and happy, stay, if you've been thinking about Dovecot but have a complex system to move I'd recommend trying the upgrade to 4.5.0. I also update gamin and use +fam with courier-imap which might affect the overall speed. The update from 0.1.9 to 0.1.10 doesn't look like it would account for the increased speed. kashani

Absolutely the same situation here.
I use quick dirty workaround. I removed the /etc/init.d/ script so
it would be added next time there is an update and did:
echo '/scripts/imap.sh start' /etc/conf.d/local.start
echo '/scripts/imap.sh stop' /etc/conf.d/local.stop
The imap.sh reads:
#!/bin/bash
#courier-imapd-ssl temporary replacement
stop(){
source /etc/courier-imap/imapd-ssl
echo Stopping courier-imapd over SSL
kill -TERM `cat $SSLPIDFILE`
}
start(){

[gentoo-user] Courier-Imap slowing to a crawl
Hey everyone. I've been running a Gentoo mail server here at home for almost 3 years and have had great luck with it. However, since I made a large group of updates a few weeks ago, Courier-Imap has been slowing down, so much so that my client requests eventually time out. A reboot fixes this, but it's gotten to the point where I'd have to reboot every single day in order to keep it running the way it should be, and I know there must be some way to fix this. I've tried just restarting the Courier daemons, but this alone is not sufficient. Courier-Imap was never updated, so that shouldn't be the problem. However, the packages that were updated (with new USE flags; using --newuse) were Postfix, OpenLDAP (newly merged), Apache (from 1.3 to 2.0), OpenSSL (I suspected at first that I had to build Courier and Courier-authlib again against the new OpenSSL, but this didn't prove to help) and a few others (unfortunately, I can't remember what they were, but I highly doubt they were related.) Just to see if this would help, I tried rebuilding Courier-Imap and Courier-authlib after having merged the new packages. Unfortunately, this did not help. Authentication itself goes quick. However, at the point where Thunderbird says, Looking for folders, (sorry I couldn't be more descriptive than that) it goes on and on and on and eventually times out. After I've rebooted, it goes quickly like it always did before the updates, but then it gradually slows down, and by the next day, it's usually really bad again. I wondered if something was hogging the CPU, or if something was leaking memory, but I checked both those things, and so far, I don't think either of those are a problem. The only other change I can think of is that I had been compiling with -O3 optimizations ever since the server was built (I always had great luck with that and it's been very stable; I actually believe this may have been the default setting at the time), but decided to step down to -O2 before I built all those other packages since I wanted to make sure everything would be stable. Does the fact that some packages were compiled with -O3 optimizations and the fact that more recently some were built with -O2 optimizations cause some kind of problem? Is there a way that I can rebuild my entire server on either -O2 or -O3 optimizations so that I can make everything consistent? Should I even care about that? I'm just trying to throw out every possibility here as this is one of the most bizarre things that's happened to me to date. If anybody has any ideas, or if anybody has had any similar problems, a reply would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks everyone. James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Courier-IMAP and Outlook
I have switched my system from using UW-IMAP with mbox/mbx style mailboxes to Courier-IMAP and maildir style mailboxes. Everything appears to be working okay, except for one problem in Outlook. When I do a get/send in Outlook, sometimes I get the following error: Outlook is unable to download folder (null) from the IMAP server. I don't know what folder (null) means. I am able to go into each folder I have setup on the IMAP server and read all of the messages. New mail is showing up correctly, but I continue to get this error message. Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can offer me. Jeff -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] courier-imap package enhancement
Hi everyone, Might I suggest that the courier-imap package adds a directory of /etc/skel/.maildir during install? That way any new users created on the system would automatically have .maildir for use with courier-imap. Otherwise, courier-imap complains, in /var/log/mail.log, that the .maildir does not exist. Is this the right list for suggesting things like this? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is this the right list for suggesting things like this? This is generally why most systems send a new users a welcome email which forces the MTA to create the .maildir/. Courier-imap can add it to /etc/skel/ however this may make troubleshooting more complicated if you do something odd like using mbox in your MTA and decide to install Courier. You might confuse some applications, but generally it doesn't seem like a bad idea. It might make things complicated when you switch to a virtual system and your users don't get automatic maildirs anymore. I'd lean towards leaving .maildir/ out of /etc/skel/ in this case so that behavior is consistent in all installs. In any case I'd do some more thinking about it and request the enhancement through bugzilla with your well thought out arguements that consider more than just a simple system. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Turns out it was the update of baselayout to ~x86. I went back to the stable version (boy, I don't think I'd do that again, cause downgrading sure screwed a bunch of other things up) and sure enough, courier-imap worked properly. Instead of fixing the other things that broke with the downgrade, I just updated baselayout to ~x86 again, and then emerged the latest ~x86 version of courier-imap, and all is still well.
