similar to: Excessive dovecot-auth proceses

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.

http://dovecot.org/test/ Hopefully better release than last one. Fixes several problems test66 had and also some older problems reported in this list. It also contains a pretty large mbox code cleanup, fixing several problems (especially related to X-IMAP/X-IMAPbase headers) and making it a bit faster. Maybe I'll backport it to 1.0-stable too when it looks like it's stable.. BTW. mbox

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,

I've been searching, and I can't find any rpms of dovecot stable for RHEL 4. Does anybody know where I can get one? Ever since we went from IMAP-UW to Dovecot, we've been having frequent problems with mbox corruption, and I've read that 1.0 fixes many of those types of problems. Has anybody else found an rpm for RHEL 4 of any Dovecot greater than 1.0? -- Topher Fischer System

http://dovecot.org/test/ - Several mbox fixes, upgrade recommended for test68 mbox users - Possibly fixes some IMAP hangs where Dovecot just stopped replying - Fixed delay-newmail workaround. It was badly broken before. And somewhat off topic advertisement: I got a bit distracted from Dovecot a week ago when a guy started mailing me about wanting to write an irssi2 client as a project to

I'm mainly just curious, but what version of dovecot is considered to be stable enough to be running in a production environment? We're running the 0.99.13 version shipped with FC3 and, while experiencing great performance gains over UW-IMAP, we have hit a couple of snags here and there (random and infrequent characters at the beginning of a mailbox, periodic duplication of a message

My dovecot server seems to randomly begin giving errors to pop3 users who try to fetch their email. Once this begins, they see no more new mail, though the mail is in cur. Running: dovecot-stable 20050501, Mac OS X 10.3.9 Log entries like this: May 2 19:35:18 caddy dovecot: pop3-login: Login: kim [24.22.16.169] May 2 19:35:18 caddy dovecot: POP3(kim): rename(/Users/kim/Maildir/

I've been testing test69 with pop3 (under Linux and with mbox). I began testing with a large inbox (11000 mails) and it seems the communication between dovecot and the mailclient (evolution) stalls after 1000-2000 messages transferred. I've looked in to the (non-trivial) io functionality of dovecot. What I see is that io_loop_handler_run() in ioloop-poll.c does not signal any more data

Hello, I'am Filip Cristian System Administrator at Astral Telecom and i'am using on our email servers dovecot for pop*, imap* auth with mysql suport. I have noticed that in the 1.0-test* release you have support for multiple password databases. From what i have tested this it's working but only if you want to fallback to another supported password databases different that the privios.

Hi, I've been running dovecot for awhile (about 18 months now) and I am very happy with it. I am currently planning an upgrade for the office server and I am wondering how is 1.0 going? Is it stable enough for production? I read a thread in the list from may 5th talking about the stability, and it seemed pretty decent. Anyways just looking for a bit of feedback on the evolution of 1.0

http://dovecot.org/test/ I'm not sure if this was test71-specific or if it also happened with test70, but anyway IMAP process was hanging in some situations (I think POP3 hang was fixed though? :).

Hi! I need use dovecot on 3 servers. Home directory and mail spool shared over NFS in pop3/pop3s only mode (no imap). What details for dovecot config need set? When I try 2-servers config, some time I get in log: Jun 7 04:31:01 cluster2 pop3(andy at atomail.com): IndexID mismatch for binary tree file /home/plasma/andy at atomail.com/mail//.imap/INBOX/.imap.index.tree But mail client not

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 all, I'm using Debian (testing) for my office mail. I'm using sendmail and Dovecot to deliver email to clients over IMAP using mbox format. I want to move over and start using Maildir. I know that I can use different MTA's to do the job, but I really like sendmail, and I run additional sendmail servers across the my internal and external networks. I'm probably

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?

Is it possible for dovecot to strip realms and force lowercasing of usernames? We have a lot of dumb customers who try logging in to pop3 with crap like UsERNAmE and bla at nonexistentdomain.com. All our usernames are lowercase and we have no realms. Trying to get hundreds of customers to fix this is hard and is a significant and costly support burden. It would be nice if dovecot could handle

Some of my users seem to be receiving the same e-mail over and over. This doesn't happen all the time, just once in a while it seems to get stuck in a loop. Is it possible that dovecot is the culprit here or is this a problem with something else? I'm running Postfix/amavisd/dovecot on Slackware 10.1. Regards, Savage

Is dovecot still considered unreliable when combined with NFS? Is this true for mbox only, or Maildir as well? If dovecot Is still considered unreliable with NFS, how about having a dovecot mode that would chain into procmail for delivery, so that dovecot doesn't (necessarily) have to reinvent that wheel? Thanks!
