1419426 – Dovecot dsync not replicating ".dovecot.sieve -> .sieve/managesieve.sieve"

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Sham Antony 2017-02-06 06:24:57 UTC

Description of problem:

On host1, within a user's mail directory, after activating an Out of Office message in Roundcube, the .dovecot.sieve symbolic link is correctly created:

imap1:/VOLUMES/imapstore/rgiles# ls -la
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 4 vmail vmail 102 Jan 10 13:50 .
drwxr-x---. 4 vmail vmail  33 Dec 21 13:56 ..
-rw-------. 1 vmail vmail  38 Jan 10 11:13 .dovecot.lda-dupes
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 vmail vmail  23 Jan 10 10:47 .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/managesieve.sieve

-rw-------. 1 vmail vmail 138 Jan 10 13:50 .dovecot.svbin
drwx------. 4 vmail vmail 149 Dec 21 14:14 mdbox
drwx------. 3 vmail vmail  42 Jan 10 11:14 sieve

On the other host, the symlink is *not* created properly (but the Sieve scripts *are* correctly propagated, as well as e-mail, etc.).

imap2:/VOLUMES/imapstore/rgiles# ls -la
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 4 vmail vmail 32 Jan 13 13:32 .
drwxr-x---. 4 vmail vmail 33 Dec 21 13:58 ..
drwx------. 4 vmail vmail 86 Dec 21 14:14 mdbox
drwx------. 3 vmail vmail 42 Jan 10 11:14 sieve

This is a bug that is fixed in later versions of Dovecot-Pigeonhole (0.4.4 onward).

RHEL7 ships with dovecot-pigeonhole-2.2.10-7.el7.x86_64, which contains Pigeonhole 0.4.2.

This particular thread on the Dovecot list also describes the issue (and detailing that the problem was identified and fixed in a later version):

https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2015-February/099661.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dovecot-pigeonhole-2.2.10-7.el7.x86_64
dovecot-2.2.10-7.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Setup Dovecot dsync replication service on two hosts

Actual results:

The symlink is *not* created 

Expected results:

Create symlink

Rebase against 2.2.32 and pigeonhole 0.4.20

Figured we'd rebase a new RPM against 2.2.32.  It certainly fixes this bug, among others.

Comment 9 Robert Giles 2018-06-12 14:56:07 UTC

Thanks;  this is good to hear there will be an official RHEL-supported RPM of the terminal 2.2 Dovecot release (2.2.36).
