similar to: Still crashing with test-80

Hi all, I originally posted this on postfix's mailing list but then realized that this COULD be a pop3 server problem since that downloads and deletes mail. This has only been happening since I upgraded from .99 to 1.0-7 ... Our users have been reporting double messages in their inbox, as well as emails that they deleted a long time ago reappearing. The only thing in my maillog is a

Hi, I am trying dovecot-1.1 with dovecot-sieve-1.1. First, dovecot -n do not report about deliver settings. They are: --- protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster at parkheights.dyndns.org hostname = parkheights.dyndns.org mail_plugins = cmusieve mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot11/modules/lda sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot11/auth-master

Hi all, 1.0-test76 is crashing about every two weeks. Got this in the log file: pid 76217 (dovecot-auth), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) pid 61724 (dovecot-auth), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) pid 52961 (dovecot-auth), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) pid 81257 (dovecot-auth), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) Also a bunch of these around the same time...

I'm running Dovecot dovecot-1.0.r13 on FreeBSD (FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE- p10). Mail is stored in mbox format (dovecot.conf after the msg). Procmail delivers mail to subfolders under ~/.mail, locking using dotfiles. One folder in particular for one user has an mbox file ~/.mail/Cron. Quite often, I'll see that procmail processes are stacking up because ~/.mail/Cron.lock exists, and

Hello, I'm setting up a dovecot-2.0.beta6 install and I'm experiencing the following issues/questions : 1. Converting the config file # /usr/local/dovecot-2/bin/doveconf -n -c /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.12/etc/dovecot.conf : [...] doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /usr/local/dovecot-1.2.12/etc/dovecot.conf line 176: Unknown setting: process_limit but # grep -i

Hi all, Keep getting these messages: Jul 18 09:48:47 orxon dovecot: POP3(d2525): mbox sync: UID inserted in the middle of mailbox /var/mail/d2525 (109 > 3) Jul 18 09:48:47 orxon dovecot: POP3(d2525): X-IMAPbase uid-last unexpectedly points outside mbox file /var/mail/d2525 For a bunch of users. Any ideas?

Hi all, Trying to setup a test copy of dovecot on my box before I "really" use it. I have it installed into a test dir (/usr/local/dovecot instead of /usr/local), and I've got a config file with valid dirs, etc. Only thing is ... I can't find a way to set the port in the protocol pop3 {} section. Its documented in the "listen" directive area at the top of the

Receiving a lot of the following messags with 1.0-76: pid 633 (dovecot-auth), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) Any ideas? Sometimes, our entire port 110/143 servers begin refusing connections. Hardware checks out fine. Thanks in advance, Regards, Matt

Hi all, We're an ISP, and are currently looking for a way for our tech support guys to access customer's email without having shell access to the server, or knowing the customer's password. We'd like to install a custom webmail client that would only show the user's inbox and the ability to delete the messages. The problem is, that we would have to know the user's

Hi all, My mail spools (mbox format) keep getting corrupted with .99.x. I was thinking of running dovecot-stable-20050709.tar.gz ... is this fairly stable? Also, can I use the .99 config file with that code? Thanks! -MAtt

Hi folks, My institute's mail server was upgraded to RHEL5 with dovecot 1.0-2.1rc5 recently. And it uses PAM authentication which points to LDAP server. Now from time to time it gets Error like dovecot: Aug 29 09:23:59 Error: auth(default): pam(joshua,192.168.177.52): pipe() failed: Too many open files and users can not login. My config is like dovecot -n # /etc/dovecot.conf base_dir:

Expunging messages caused those "Corrupted index file" errors. That's fixed now. There's probably still some problems, at least this fix didn't fix any crashes.. test3 available from http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/test/

Hi all, I really don't know where to go from here. I've traced and pasted, but never heard responses.... I'm getting the following (see bottom of this email) in a single day of dmesg....most of the time the error message in the log file is something like: Oct 5 09:21:43 mail1 dovecot: imap(*****): file mbox-save.c: line 280 (mbox_save_init_file): assertion failed:

Hi, there! Well, I am new to dovecot, so please be patient with me: I have a virtual server and want to setup simple mail delivery. postfix, saslauthd and dovecot basically work fine. The only open issue is, that (I guess) dovecot doesn't remove the mail when it's retrieved via pop3 from the server. It keeps sending me the same emails again and again. (The mail client (Thunderbird) is

Hello, We have seen a few of these panics in 1.1.6. It seems to happen when pine is being used and a POP3 check occurs at the same time (but not always), but I'm not positive this is always the case: --- Nov 22 11:10:32 lexiconn2 dovecot: Panic: POP3(techjm): file istream.c: line 76 (i_stream_read): assertion failed: (_stream-> skip != _stream->pos) Nov 22 11:10:32 lexiconn2
