Hi all, Please correct me if I'm going about this the wrong way. We currently have a 3 system Mail server set up - two machines are the load balanced frontends running Dovecot and Postfix, and the third machine is our NFS. Over the past 4 months or so, I've tweaked and optimized our mail servers, and we receive roughly 3 million emails a day combined through this setup. Sometimes,

Just saw that Lance Davis created a new mailinglist for CentOS! So I thought I'd say Hi! PatrickM "There is a great disturbance in the Source." _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding. Introducing My Way - http://www.myway.com

I have a CentOS 5.2 installation with gcc 3.4.6 as the default. I'd like to upgrade the entire gcc tool chain, including libraries, to 4.x in order to build some software that requires 4.1.0 or better. Can I do this easily through yum? If I upgrade to 5.3 will I get gcc 4.x by default? Thanks, Patrick

Hello all, I am implementing a new mail server into our environment consisting of three machines - two Dell Opterons that will act as load balanced Postfix servers, and a 1.5TB RAID10 NFS server. All three machines are running CentOS 4.5. Since the NFS is going to be used for only mail, I was kicking around the idea to use XFS. I have CentOS installed on an ext3 partition, and with the

Hiya, I'm trying to find an rpm for the 1.1 version, since it appears to work better with NFS. Does anyone have a link to the i386 version? Thanks in advance. - Patrick

Hi all, We're migrating off our current mail server with runs postfix and imapd on an AIX machine to Postfix and Dovecot running linux. Our customers have a lot of IMAP folders with folders they configured, which are currently located in their /home directory on the current mail server. The new mail server will have them at the same location. How do I configure Dovecot so that when a

Hi all, I posted this question in the Postfix users mailing list as well - I'm not sure if this is Dovecot or Postfix related. Our old system which we migrated off of was an AIX 5.2 machine running most recent Postfix and mbox format with UW-IMAP. We've migrated to most recent Postfix, using Maildir and Dovecot v1. After we used mb2md to migrate over all our customers, some of our

Hi all, Over the past week our mail server which NFS mounts the /home directory for mail has been experiencing major load issues. When doing a 'top', it appeared that slapd was the culprit (we use LDAP for authentication), but after upgrading the system and updating ldap, the cpu usage for LDAP has gone down, but the load average as not. I'm using Maildir. Everything from /home

Hi all, We just set up our new mail servers using Postfix and Dovecot. We have implemented a load balanced solution to where our two mail servers have a common NFS share. Everything is working great. Everything but Dovecot for the most part. In testing, Dovecot was great. Now that we're in the production environment, we've noticed that every 20 minutes, Dovecot will stop

Hi all, I've read so much information on this that I'm a little confused as to what to follow. Here's what's going on: We just migrated away from our AIX machines which were running Postfix and UW-IMAP. We're now running Postfix with Dovecot. I already converted everyone's mbox file to maildir, but now I'm having a little troubles with how to exactly populate
