Size of transaction log file is increasing continuously if dsync is failed
by Duc Anh Do 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

Hi Dovecot community, I would like to share a problem I saw a few days ago. Any comment is highly appreciated. *Steps to reproduce* 0. Version of Dovecot I use is v2.3.11.3. 1. Prepare 2 Dovecot backends: - One backend is used as the source of dsync command. Other backend is used as the destination of the dsync command. - Mailbox format is Maildir. Mail dir of two test accounts is empty. 2. Prepare the test account in the source of dsync: - Send a test message to the test account. For example, I use swaks: swaks --server 127.0.0.1 --port 24 --protocol LMTP --to user1@local - Use doveadm expunge command to clean mail dir of the test account: doveadm expunge -u user1@local mailbox INBOX all 3. Prepare the test account in the destination of dsync: - Log in test account via IMAP then select INBOX first: telnet 127.0.0.1 imap ... s login user1@local 1 ... s select INBOX ... s logout - Then perform dsync: doveadm -o imapc_host=backend2.local -o imapc_port=143 -o imapc_user=user1@local -o imapc_password=1 backup -s '' -R -u user1@local imapc: - Confirm error occurs when using dsync: dsync(user1@local): Info: imapc(backend2.local:143): Connected to 192.168.100.2:143 (local 192.168.100.27:58850) dsync(user1@local): Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted. AQAAAHm4+Jk= 4. Log in the test account in dsync destination then select INBOX. Repeat many times. I can see the size of the transaction log file is increasing continuously. *Before*: -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 456 Apr 22 10:54 dovecot.index.log *After*: -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 544 Apr 22 10:59 dovecot.index.log -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 632 Apr 22 11:00 dovecot.index.log -rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 720 Apr 22 11:00 dovecot.index.log *Problems* - Size of the transaction log file is increasing continuously. Do you think this is an issue of Dovecot? - The value of *mail_index_log_rotate_max_size* is 1M by default. However the transaction log file dovecot.index.log is not rotated when its size exceeds limit. - Because the size of the transaction log file is too big and it is not rotated, I think "out of memory" error will occur when I try to use IMAP SELECT or POP3 STAT command (if the virtual size limit is small enough). - If "size of the transaction log file is increasing continuously" is an issue, what should I do to avoid it or is there any workaround? I understand I should fix the error *Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted* first before doing anything next. I think removing the transaction log file is an understandable workaround. *Investigaton* - About the error *Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted*, I can understand the cause after reading this thread https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2014-April/095588.html 2) Maildir + INBOX + backup/sync/replicate > In the test scenarios where the INBOX on one side was to be completely > removed, e.g. doveadm backup -R the dsync failed and > nothing was synced to the target. This is because before moving the source > mails to the mailbox, dsync cleans out the old ones ( > -R preserves nothing) and in Maildir the INBOX can not be removed. This is > a feature/not easily solvable, because in Maildir > INBOX is different from other folders. > - The transaction log file is rotated whenever there's any change in index file. I can confirm by sending a test message to the test account in dsync destination. I can see that logic in *src/lib-index/mail-index-sync.c* and *src/lib-index/mail-index-write.c*. After that, the size of the new transaction log file is not increasing anymore. - When the error *Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted* occurred, I tried to dump the transaction log file and I saw these records: record: offset=432, type=index-deleted (ext), size=12 record: offset=444, type=index-undeleted (ext), size=12 - Do you think these records relate to the issue that the size of the transaction log file is increasing continuously? - Did the error *Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted* make content of transaction log file incomplete/incorrect? Regards, Anh Do

CA certs for Dovecot-as-client (proxy)
by Peter Mogensen 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Hi, When using proxy=y, ssl=yes (Dovecot 2.3.13) I consistently get this logged when trying to validate the remote server cert. "Disconnected by server: Connection closed: Received invalid SSL certificate: unable to get local issuer certificate: /C=BE/O=GlobalSign nv-sa/CN=AlphaSSL CA - SHA256 - G2 (check ssl_client_ca_* settings?)" As I read the 2.3.x documentation (and the error logged) Dovecot needs to have the trusted CA cert with ssl_client_ca_file or ssl_client_ca_dir. So, I've tried every combination of putting the cert (and the GlobalSign root CA signing it) in ssl_client_ca_dir and individually and as a bundle in ssl_client_ca_file without luck. But even though I can verify the cert with "openssl s_client -connect" and with "openssl verify", no matter what I put in the ssl_client_ca_* settings it seems Dovecot just ignores it. It does complain though, if I point it to a non-existent file, but not if I just fill the file with invalid cert data which can't be parsed. I end up getting in doubt whether it consults the cert data at all. I'm a bit at loss on how to debug this further, short of running it in gdb. "verbose_ssl" doesn't really say anything about the process of find a CA cert to check with. Have I misunderstood the config? /Peter

systemd timeout on startup after upgrade
by Felix Zielcke 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Hello *, I have upgraded today a Debian buster (stable) system to bullseye (still testing). After upgrade I did a complete reboot of the VM. Dovecot version changed from 1:2.3.4.1-5+deb10u6 to 1:2.3.13+dfsg1-1 `systemctl start dovecot` now complains Job for dovecot.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. As a workaround I set "TimeoutStartSec=infinity" in dovecot.service. But `systemctl status` now says: Active: activating (start) since Sat 2021-04-17 17:53:58 CEST; 1h 23min ago Dovecot itself is working fine without problems. LMTP accepts new mails and IMAP works. It's just that systemd doestn't notice it running. Any idea what causes this?

Dovecot discards mail in a certain situation
by Aleš Pečnik 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Hi all: I'm using Dovecot with Postfix (via LMTP). Because Postfix doesn't de-duplicate recipients, I'm using sieve to drop duplicates, following this recipe: https://serverfault.com/questions/112958/postfix-aliases-and-duplicate-e-ma… A "sieve_before" script contains: require ["duplicate"]; if duplicate { discard; stop; } It works well, except when the recipient is over quota. Dovecot is configured for tempfail in this case: quota_full_tempfail = yes When a mail arrives for a user who's over quota, Postfix logs this: AF4481700032: to=<?@?>, relay=?[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=0.05, delays=0.05/0/0/0, dsn=4.2.2, status=deferred (host ?[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 452 4.2.2 <?@?> Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) (in reply to end of DATA command)) Approximately 10 minutes later, Postfix retries, and log shows: dovecot: lmtp(?)<1742912><+EYHBXjidmBAmBoAcAY70w>: sieve: msgid=<489132c2-7b77-cd2f-ce60-439f6558ddcf@?>: marked message to be discarded if not explicitly delivered (discard action) postfix/lmtp[1742691]: AF4481700032: to=<?@?>, relay=?[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=431, delays=431/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 <?@?> +EYHBXjidmBAmBoAcAY70w Saved) postfix/qmgr[421343]: AF4481700032: removed The message is then nowhere to be found: it's not delivered to mailbox, bounce isn't sent to the sender, mail is not in postfix queue. Apparently it's been discarded. I'd say that at first LMTP delivery attempt, sieve records message as seen, even though it is eventually rejected (452 over quota). During second attempt sieve "recognizes" the message as seen before and discards it. (This is just my interpretation of what could be happening.) Is this a bug or have I misconfigured something? My dovecot -n output is below.

IMAP session hangs on 8k-long commands if COMPRESS=DEFLATE is enabled
by Guilhem Moulin 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Hi there, Dovecot 2.3.7 appears to hang when the client sends a long command after enabling the IMAP COMPRESS extension [RFC 4978]. PoC script attached along with the doveconf(1) output. Without COMPRESS=DEFLATE, and with the default ‘imap_max_line_length’ value (64k) I'm able send commands up to 65539 bytes long (that's 3 bytes more than 2¹⁶, so maybe the leading tag and the trailing CRLF aren't counted), after which Dovecot rightfully replies with tagged BAD responses. $ COMPRESS=n /tmp/many-fetch.pl 65539 […] C: x UID FETCH 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,… [65539 bytes] S: x OK Fetch completed (0.005 + 0.001 + 0.004 secs). C: x UID FETCH 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,… [65540 bytes] S: x BAD Error in IMAP command UID FETCH: IMAP command line too large (0.001 + 0.001 secs).

With COMPRESS=DEFLATE however, the server never sends anything back when the command size exceeds 8192 bytes: $ COMPRESS=y /tmp/many-fetch.pl 8192 […] S: x OK [READ-ONLY] Examine completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). C: x UID FETCH 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,… [8191 bytes] S: x OK Fetch completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). C: x UID FETCH 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,… [8192 bytes] S: x OK Fetch completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). C: x UID FETCH 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,… [8193 bytes] [ _hangs until the server terminates the session for inactivity_ ] S: * BYE Disconnected for inactivity. strace(1) show that Dovecot didn't send the response, even though the server log indicates that it's able to fully read the command. Interestingly, when setting ‘imap_max_line_length’ to 4096, the server also hangs after receiving a command of size >4096 bytes (instead of replying with a tagged BAD response). $ COMPRESS=y /tmp/many-fetch.pl 4096 C: x UID FETCH 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,… [4095 bytes] S: x OK Fetch completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). C: x UID FETCH 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,… [4096 bytes] S: x OK Fetch completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs). C: x UID FETCH 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,… [4097 bytes] [ _hangs until the server terminates the session for inactivity_ ] I'm also able to reproduce the buggy behavior against Dovecot versions found in other Debian releases. It's identical with 2.3.4 (Buster), the server also hang past 8192 bytes. 2.2.27 (Stretch) and 2.2.13 (Jessie) are able to send replies to 8k-long commands, but hang past 65536 bytes. For all 3 releases, without COMPRESS=DEFLATE Dovecot doesn't hang and rightfully sends tagged BAD responses to commands of size >65539 bytes. So while the hanging behavior appears to be a long-standing bug, the fact that's it's now hit at min($imap_max_line_length, 8192) instead of $imap_max_line_length seems to be a regression from somewhere between 2.2.27 and 2.3.4. Cheers, -- Guilhem.

Quota warning invoked twice when moving messages to Trash folder
by Dan Conway 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Hello all, I currently have quota warnings enabled through the following configuration on Dovecot 2.2.19: plugin { quota = dict:User quota::file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota quota_warning = storage=100%% quota-warning 100 %u %{userdb:quota_rule} %i quota_warning2 = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u %{userdb:quota_rule} %i quota_warning3 = storage=90%% quota-warning 90 %u %{userdb:quota_rule} %i } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.pl group = mailusers unix_listener quota-warning { group = mailusers mode = 0775 } } When using Thunderbird as a client for testing, I fill up an inbox until one of the warnings is invoked. (90%). The script runs, and the mailbox sits at about 93%. When moving a handful of messages to the Trash folder, the 100% quota-warning service is invoked. But getting the quota through 'doveadm quota get -u user' yields that same 93% used. I ran strace on the main process that is taking in IMAP commands from the Thunderbird client. Two lines are worth noting from that output: 134 uid store 2311:2312,2314:2317 +Flags (\\Seen)\r\n", 3619 137 uid move 2311:2312,2314:2317 \"INBOX.Trash\"\r\n", 3553 The first line sets the "Seen" flag on a list of messages, while the second line moves the messages to the "INBOX.Trash" folder. My guess as to what is happening is when the "uid move" command is received, The messages are copied first, then removed from the server, causing the quota to spike for a very short amount of time. Are those suspicions correct? After looking at RFC 6851, Section 3.3 (Semantics of MOVE and UID MOVE), it states: "Each message included in the set is moved, rather than copied ... ". Any idea why the spike in quota usage occurs? Thanks.

POP3 server fails to replicate deletions
by Stephen Gildea 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

When I delete messages with POP3, the change doesn't get replicated. To reproduce: run the pop3 server from the command line, type this to it: DELE 1 QUIT This correctly deletes the first message on the local server, but it does not send a replication notify message. Poking around a bit with gdb, it appears that the pop3 server decides incorrectly that the changes it is making are not worth notifying about. It is hard to find something that doesn't happen, and I would appreciate suggestions for further debugging this case. I do get the expected replication when new mail arrives and also when I manipulate my mailbox with IMAP. I have tested this with Dovecot 2.3.7.2 (on Ubuntu 20.04) and with the git HEAD, 2.3.14+. What may be the same bug was reported on this list last August against Dovecot 2.3.8, but it got no reply then. My mail store is on a local ext4 file system. I have replication enabled in my configuration: $ doveconf mail_plugins mail_plugins = mail_crypt notify replication $ doveconf -f protocol=pop3 mail_plugins mail_plugins = mail_crypt notify replication

fts_enforced=yes or body return NO [SERVERBUG] Internal error occurred when SEARCH
by Alessio Cecchi 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Hi, we have some issues related to the fts_enforced option in dovecot config. Following the table in the docs (https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/fts-plugin/#plugin-fts-setting-fts-…) we cannot figure out the current behavior of the flag. In our case we have dovecot up and running, dovecot indexes updated using doveadm command (fts rescan/index), but solr instance offline for testing. We try to search using header subject. We tried "yes" and "body" fts_enforced flag's options but we get in telnet session: C: a search header subject "test" S: a NO [SERVERBUG] Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2021-04-20 15:52:57] (0.005 + 0.000 + 0.004 secs). But dovecot-log don't include any specific error, except for a generic: Apr 20 15:52:57 imap dovecot: imap(test(a)emailtest.net) session=<t7RIwxyaxMxbj8Qu>: Error: fts_solr: Lookup failed: connect(10.0.0.2:8983) failed: Connection refused Is there any flag or method to check if a solr instance is up and running and, eventually, switching to the internal dovecot indexes instead ? Using the "no" option, for enforced flag, for us is unavailable because the related search could be too long and we could have timeout waiting the results. We aim to achieve the following result: if our solr instance is unavailable, we should switch the imap searches from full-text to headers only. Could you suggest something in this direction? We running doveoct 2.3.14. Thanks -- Alessio Cecchi Postmaster @ http://www.qboxmail.it https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessice
