Hi Timo, hi all! Today i noticed imap throws segmentation faults and dumps cores. I looked into logs I can see: 2013-03-07T12:12:52.257986+01:00 meteor dovecot: imap(marcinxxx at kolekcja.mejor.pl) <7sRXtFPXYAA+eX93>: Error: Corrupted dbox file /dane/domeny/mejor.pl/mail/marcin//.mdbox/mailinglists/storage/m.75 (around offset=2779212): EOF reading msg header (got 0/30 bytes)

Hi, I have a "ubuntu10.04 + ext4-filesystem + dovecot-2.0.13 +mdbox" configuration in my server. It works fine with ~50k accounts. Recently happened a filesystem corruption in a device of StMailLocation and I fix with fsck.ext4. After this crash, one account began to show access timeout and errors like this on force-resync: # doveadm force-resync -u account INBOX doveadm(account):

I could use some help with a corrupt mdbox. doveadm force-resync is crashing (see below), but I really need just to get this account functioning. What's my next step, as far as deleting index files? These were the earliest errors I could find: Nov 28 09:40:21 macy dovecot[6615]: imap(cory at metro-email.com): Error: Corrupted index cache file

Hi, On saturday one of our dovecot machines had an OOPS, and we had to powercycle it. When it came up, it did a filesystem fsck (ext4) and fixed a couple things, but nothing in lost+found. Now, about 50 users have a problem where their indexes are corrupted. Dovecot tries to fix them, but for some reason it is failing. The users are seeing their mails duplicated and they cannot delete mails. I

Hi! When I force-resync a mailbox of mine, I see following output: # doveadm force-resync -u $USER $PATH doveadm($USER): Warning: mdbox .../storage: Inconsistency in map index ($X,$Y2 != $X,$Y2) doveadm($USER): Warning: fscking index file .../storage/dovecot.map.index doveadm($USER): Warning: mdbox .../storage: rebuilding indexes doveadm($USER): Error: mdbox .../storage: Duplicate GUID $G in

Hello, I am using dovecot with mdbox+sis and I notice an ever increasing disk space usage since I converted mailboxes from Maildir to mdboxes. I have checked with a user and while it actually uses only 65K, his mdbox files on disk are more than 6G. The backup of his mailbox is just 64K. Any suggestions ? Below are some relevant commands: [root at mail ~]# doveadm quota get -u test Quota

Yes I have done it, it is the third command I have run, without any change. a.

Shot in the dark here...haven't tried it myself so no promises. There's probably a much better way to do this but sometimes a little "brute force" helps. Theoretical steps: 1. Stop all mail processes - both SMTP and IMAP. 2. Use "doveadm sync" to backup the user mailbox, e.g., doveadm backup -u user mdbox:/tmp/usermail 3. Verify /tmp/usermail looks reasonable

Trying to clean up the last of the corruption caused by my own stupidity. I now have two mailboxes for one user that give errors such as: doveadm(fax at amfes.com): Error: zlib.read(/var/mail/amfes.com/fax/mdbox/storage/m.9): gz trailer has wrong CRC value at 20065618 doveadm(fax at amfes.com): Error: read(/var/mail/amfes.com/fax/mdbox/storage/m.9) failed: Invalid argument (uid=238)

I'm using "/usr/bin/doveadm purge -A" to purge the mdboxes of my users. Unfortunately this command terminates prematurely once it reaches a defective mdbox! Is there a workaround for this? Like using doveadm to get a list of valid users and then run "doveadm purge -u" on each of those? -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstra?e 15, 81669

Hi All, I currently have a small Dovecot server (Server A) and I've installed a second dovecot mailbox server (server B) and am trying to sync mailboxes from Server A to Server B. Both servers sit behind two dovecot directors on separate hosts and have identical config files (doveconf -n output below). Mailboxes on Server A are on an NFS mount. Server A has been working fine with no

Hello, I was forced to do an emergency server migration with about 3000 mailboxes and I botched it somewhat. Hoping to find some help here. My symptoms are, users showing apparently deleted mail messages, some replicated mail, and a time period of mail that is just 'missing'. The source server is centos 6.10 with dovecot 2.2.5, and the destination is ubuntu 16 / dovecot 2.2.22. User
