similar to: mbox bug in 1.0.0

HI Timo & all. We're an mbox environment, inboxes in /var/mail/$USER (I'll include dovecot -n output at the bottom of this mail). mail_location is set accordingly for deliver. I'd assumed that if the /var/mail/$USER file doesn't exist, dovecot would create it, but we've discovered from experience (and I verified it in mbox-storage.c) that if access(path, R_OK|W_OK)

Hi folks. Here's our situation: Migrating from UW-IMAP. Have lots (as in, tens of thousands) of clients set up using '~/mail' as the IMAP root, and using subscriptions. Dovecot mail_location is using '~' for mbox storage. We've disabled full filesystem access in Dovecot in order to use ACLs for shared folders. Hence we have a hidden namespace for backwards

We are currently running dovecot 2.2.rc3. I am trying to 'dsync mirror' old Qpopper/mbox inboxes to our new Dovecot/mdbox servers. For most of the several thousand accounts, it works without issue. But there are a handful of accounts that are generating the following errors. dsync(joe): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/joe/inbox: seq=981 uid=981 uid_broken=0

Hi, We're having some issues with certain messages not being able to be read by Dovecot. Can anyone tell me under what conditions the error messages below could be caused? Aug 17 15:58:26 server.tc.umn.edu imap(user): : [ID 887855 local6.error] Next message unexpectedly lost from 1913995 Aug 17 15:58:26 server.tc.umn.edu last message repeated 2 times Aug 17 15:58:26 server.tc.umn.edu

Hi Timo and all. imap/cmd-create.c contains the following bit of code: len = strlen(full_mailbox); if (len == 0 || full_mailbox[len-1] != ns->sep) directory = FALSE; else { /* name ends with hierarchy separator - client is just informing us that it wants to create children under this mailbox. */

Hi! After searching for hours now, I give up and have to ask here. I try to use the expire plugin but it always tries to expire my mails instead of the mails of the user. I read about the "Mail location setting problem (v1.1-v1.2) and configured a "mail" extra field in the userdb, but that doesn't have the effect I want. I have not idea, what I could try out more, so I ask

Hi folks. Quick question in the hopes that someone knows the answer, before I dig in the code some more. In testing a new setup with some long-term archival mbox-format mailboxes stored on an NFS mount, we've found the following: if the mount is unavailable for any reason, the user cannot log into their email at all. Dovecot says: "stat() failed with mbox foo" and dies. This is

Timo, Attached is gdb information from core dumps related to the following assert in test-80: IMAP(username): file mbox-sync-update.c: line 442 (mbox_sync_update_header_from): assertion failed: (ctx->mail.uid == 0 || ctx->mail.uid_broken || ctx->mail.uid == mail->uid) My setup: Solaris 9, mbox format. test-80 compiled with gcc 4.0.1 using the following configure options: CC=gcc

I've added this to my dhcpd.conf log-facility local6; and added this to my syslog.conf local6.* /var/log/dhcpd.log It's still writing to dhcpd info to both log files. How do I stop this. I've googled but all suggested modifications I've made to the dhcpd.conf causes dhcpd to not start. Thanks Dan

http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc27.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/dovecot-1.0.rc27.tar.gz.sig A few new small features and lots of index/mbox fixes. I've been heavily stress testing this release, so I think it should be about perfect. :) I think the only thing still missing from v1.0 is documentation. There are some unwritten pages in the wiki, and I still haven't bothered

I'm running dovecot 1.2.16 from the ports collection on FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE, amd64. I've long been getting the following kind of messages in my logs, on random occasions when I access or move mail into mboxes: Aug 16 00:43:58 myhost dovecot: IMAP(mike): mbox /home/mike/mail/feedback: seq=88 uid=91 uid_broken=0 originally needed 0 bytes, now needs 18446744073709551615 bytes Whatever

Hi, I'm currently running Samba 3.0.22 (on an Ubuntu 6.06 [Dapper] server). I have VFS full_audit set up successfully to log user activity using the LOCAL6 facility. I also have syslog configured to redirect all messages from this facility to /var/log/samba/log.audit This is working fine. However, I've recently been getting lines in /var/log/syslog that look like they're coming

Upon rebooting our Dovecot server, I got these: Mar 16 09:49:16 peridot.tc.umn.edu dovecot: [ID 195972 local6.info] Dovecot v1.0.rc27 starting up Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain last message repeated 1 time Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to

Hi, I'm running dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5 on a CentOS 5.5x64 server, accessed through Thunderbird clients. Thunderbird is reporting constant disconnections from the server; the maillog shows constant repeats of Apr 4 16:39:21 holly dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<?user?>, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:172.31.255.193, lip=::ffff:172.31.255.1 Apr 4 16:39:21 holly dovecot: IMAP(?user?): mbox

Here's a strange one. I have Dovecot set up on Solaris 9. The auth portion of the config is straight out of the box. Using PAM. We have most users in a dbm file which is just a series of key/value pairs: key is a username, and value is a string equivalent to a shadow entry. nsswitch.conf entry: passwd files dbm. For historical reasons, some users have a classic 13-character Unix crypt

Hi folks. Is there a way to modify the log stamp to include pid as well as time? Preferably for all logging, but at least for imap and pop. I took a look at the mail-login plugin, but that seems to associate operations with uid, still no pid. Am I missing something? Thanks for any info, -Brian U of Minnesota Internet Services

So, I'm working on a shared folder. Everything is nice except for one bit. My dovecot-shared file in the Maildir is either being ignored, or doesn't work the way I think it does. Any messages copied into the Maildir using a mail client are mode 660 and owned by the user who did the copy. Perms on the dovecot-shared file are 700 (I'm using Solaris ACLs in addition to the Dovecot
