similar to: SQL + POP3 AUTH command bug - test 57

Hi, While investigating the problem with Thunderbird auths I found the following happening: Escape character is '^]'. +OK Dovecot ready. CAPA +OK CAPA TOP USER UIDL RESP-CODES PIPELINING SASL PLAIN . AUTH PLAIN + + + -ERR Authentication failed. This is what is happening during a Thunderbird connection, when each '+' happens dovecot does an sql query on the sql server for user

Hi there, We are living dangerously and using the test versions on our production servers which are migrated from 3 different older servers (about 5000 accounts) therefore we have 3 different MySQL auths. All seems to be ok, but a guy in the office is using Thunderbird as pop3 access. The auth is saying: auth(sql): plain(?,xx.xxx.xx.xxx): invalid input I have hidden his IP for security

Hi Guys, I may have missed something in the conf file but while using a standard mysql auth method I'm finding many dovecot-auth processing sitting doing nothing. They grow to the extent that mysql runs out of connections after a week. Any ideas?

Hi guys, OK, so I am trying to find out why the POP3 AUTH / IMAP AUTHORIZE command is not doing what it is supposed to (not sure if it just for me or what). I am getting as far as: sasl-server.c - line 123 - mech = auth_client_find_mech(auth_client, mech_name); auth_client_find_mech is in auth-client.c which is where I am getting lost. My guess is we are not returning back to sasl-server.c

Hi, I'm getting a very small amount of users getting message not found errors while downloading mail via POP. By the time they inform me and I switch on rawloging for them it works again. Any ideas where this is going wrong? Or at least a way I can diagnose it? It seems to have been happening since Alpha 1. Currently using pre-release of Alpha4. Regards Andrew -- Andrew Hutchings

Hi, 2 or 3 customers have reported that they are having problems downloading their mail via. POP3. I have attached the rawlogs of their transactions and the UID list at the time. Is this because I am using an incompatible UID format or is something else at fault? Deleting the UID list and indexes fixes the problem. I am using Test72.

Hi, I don't know if this has been covered or not as I have been out of action most of the last few weeks getting married and stuff. My query / slight problem is when I re-install an IMAP client or change client all mails that have been read so far show an empty header with the date set back to 1970 but the mails are fully readable. New mails that weren't read in a previous client show

Using my initd script (no idea of the origin now) to do a restart I randomly get: Jun 28 13:56:05 svr24 dovecot: Killed with signal 15 Jun 28 13:56:05 svr24 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0-test74 starting up Jun 28 13:56:06 svr24 dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down Jun 28 13:56:06 svr24 dovecot: auth(default): net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/auth-worker.23322) failed: No such file or

Hi, My wife who has thousands of IMAP boxes keeps getting errors when moving mailboxes in Thunderbird in Windows. I am using the same server (dovecot test 77) with Thunderbird in Linux and don't see the problem. What happens is she moves the mail box and Thunderbird comes up with an error saying it can't access the old box (odd!?). It has however completed the move. The following

Hi, This may be a problem with my config file but I am finding that customers (and more importantly my boss) that are using outlook express when using test66/67 (upgraded from test60 + from address patch) are having message reappear after being fully deleted (not just marked) but are unreadable, sometimes blank headers appear too but again no message. Since it is affecting my boss he has told me

Hi, When upgrading to Alpha4pre I also changed UIDL format from %08Xv%08Xu to %08Xu%08Xv to be in line with future dovecot default. This caused the following error to happen on about 1% of mailboxes: file ostream-file.c: line 370 (stream_send_io): assertion failed: (fstream->io != NULL) Deleting dovecot-uidlist and indexes fixes this so its more of an FYI really. I always delete indexes on

I just tried upgrading one of our mail cluster servers to test60 from test57. We have dovecot connecting to 3 different MySQL tables in 3 sql conf files. The error seems to stem from this: Jan 13 14:57:59 svr21 dovecot: auth(sql8): file auth-client-connection.c: line 31 (auth_client_send): assertion failed: (conn->refcount > 1) After this the auth process gets killed with signal 6.

Hi Guys, Just got this on one of my test72 dovecot servers: - Jun 10 12:40:28 svr21 dovecot: auth(default): net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/auth-worker.18818) failed: Too many open files Jun 10 12:40:28 svr21 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Jun 10 12:40:28 svr21 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,

Hi, Great job with the dovecot 1.0 stable branch, much more stable than the test57 I was using. Only one slight oddity, I know multiple auth sections is not stable yet but I am finding that one auth section at random is being ignored at login time (acknowledges it at startup). The auth section that is ignored is the same each time, but different on each server I use it on and changes at

Hi Guys, Unoffical patch for mech-plain so the AUTH PLAIN command works with SQL (and possibly other DBs). Thunderbird should work again after this. --- mech-plain.c 2004-12-10 01:56:51.065987304 +0000 +++ mech-plain.c 2004-12-10 01:53:16.974534152 +0000 @@ -27,7 +27,10 @@ authid = (const char *) data; authenid = NULL; pass = ""; - count = 0; +

I notice in the wiki you can have password sceme overides (such as {PLAIN}password). Would this work with the password fields in SQL databases (as it isn't clear in the wiki or conf file)? Regards Andrew -- Andrew Hutchings Linux Guru Netserve Consultants Ltd. http://www.domaincity.co.uk/

Hi, OK, I have 2 servers accessing the same mailboxes via NFS (indexes on each servers local HDD). They are on a round robin connection system. I have had a mailbox (customer using Eudora for Mac and storing mail for a certain amount of days) that on one server says there are 281 messages and the other says there are 194 messages. Of course this leads to re-downloading the difference. The

Hi, I'm sure this is a bug fixed in CVS or something stupid I did in the config but here goes: I am getting at least one complaint a day about POP login customers getting 'Message not found' errors while getting their mail. The only thing I can find in the messages that could be related is: Oct 12 15:40:18 svr21 dovecot: pop3(user): Mailbox init failed top=0/0, retr=0/ del=0/0,

Hi guys, Just tested yesterday's stable build, when including SQL into the build I am getting an error on like 86 of passdb-sql.c (passdb_result = PASSDB_RESULT_OK;) It rightly says passdb_result is undeclared. Commenting out this line fixes it and build appears to work fine after that. Regards Andrew -- Andrew Hutchings Linux Guru Netserve Consultants Ltd. http://www.domaincity.co.uk/

Hi guys, Seems to be my week for mailing :) I am getting the following in my mail log: Dec 7 11:54:08 svr21 dovecot: auth(sql8): file mech.c: line 143 (mech_auth_finish): assertion failed: (*requests != request) Is this assert important or can I remove it from my copy of the code?
