...I have Dovecot 1.0 Alpha3 running on x86_64 Linux 2.6 multi-CPU box using Maildir folders. Moving messages from one folder to another in Thunderbird 1.0.7, regardless of their size (usually small), produced error 83, "Out of memory", when both of these parameters were unset (default): mail_read_mmaped, mmap_disable. The log line before the error was pool_system_malloc(): Out of memory. I initially changed mmap_disable to "yes", the error stopped, but it still wasn't moving messages reliably. I then set MM parameters more aggressively: mail_read_mmaped = yes, mmap_disable = no...

...ning of the mailbox bug). We're using mbox all around. Everything works smoothly but we still ocasionally get corrupt mailboxes and indexes that need to be wiped out. I setup 1.0-test45 on one of our mailservers to start testing it and ran into a few issues. The first one is if I try to use mail_read_mmaped=yes I get this error: Error: POP3(sobo1): file istream-raw-mbox.c: line 410 (istream_raw_mbox_get_body_size): assertion failed: (rstream->mail_size != (uoff_t)-1) for every mailbox. If I switch to mail_read_mmaped=no everything works, but performance is extremely bad. I have a few test mai...

...dovecot-0.99.12.1 for the first time on FreeBSD 4.10 stable. This error occurs when I try to check my mail from a remote client and I have new messages. Here is my configuration: http://unf.be/dovecot.conf It's very close to the default install. In attempts to remedy the problem, I set "mail_read_mmaped = no", but the problem persists. I'm not sure if it's relevent, but I'm receiving mail with postfix and my mail file has lines that end with \r\n Thanks in advance for any help Sebastian -- ------------- buddhahead at gmail.com

Is there anything that can be done so that when users IMAP to their inbox and have reached their filesystem quota, that they can still DELETE their mail? They can login, but when they go to delete/expunge this is the error I get in syslog. I have tried mail_read_mmaped to yes and no, and same result.

OK, this one will be the final release for a while, I promise (or hope). Fixes mbox corruption when expunging mails from the middle of mailbox with mail_read_mmaped=no which is the default. This bug was already in 0.99.0 release. I had been using Dovecot like that for 5 days or so without noticing the bug.. Wonder if I lost any mails.

...ally should release 0.99.8 final soon, but not just yet :) Mostly just documentation updates left I think. There's a few recent changes that might have some nasty bugs: - problems with copying messages from mbox to another should be fixed now - LIST and subscription handling rewritten. - "mail_read_mmaped = no" used to corrupt mboxes when expunging messages. It now enabled again by default, and it seems to be working. I did update my backups though :) Dovecot's LDAP support currently requires that it can read the userPassword field of every user. I'm not sure if I should support &qu...

Hi- Found a message that will generate a pop3 coredump when using mbox format. It seems to do with the fact that it has a mime part with a line that's 10,000 bytes long. However, that doesn't seem to be the only factor. Adjusting the size of the mail header seems to cause different kinds of crashes. I'll avoid attaching the message here but I've put it at

...very line terminated with a nul and a newline ("\0\n"). This also happens with -test12. It seems to happen with both mbox and maildir. I'm running on NetBSD/sparc (NetBSD-current as of April 1, 1.6Q). If it matters, I have "mail_save_crlf" set to "no" and "mail_read_mmaped" also set to "no". I can't find any other options that look like they could be relevant. Any ideas? Thanks, mike

Hello! I was able to overcome the earlier-reported problems (of dovecot treating the standard mailboxes in /var/mail/ as directories) by specifying mail_location (continuing to use the 0.99-era dovecot.conf did not work). Then I started seeing assertion-failures like: file istream-raw-mbox.c: line 499 (istream_raw_mbox_get_body_size): assertion failed: (rstream->mail_size != (uoff_t)-1)
