This may be a silly question but how to correctly stop dovecot and be sure that it's possible to start it again? kill -TERM `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid` doesn't work well. I have imap-login processes staying arround and occupying port which leads to Fatal: listen(0.0.0.0, 993) failed: Address already in use when trying to start again 2s after stopping. -- Arkadiusz Mi?kiewicz

Hi Timo/everyone, Currently we are logging the remote IP, but is there a way to show the IP address that the NAT connection is coming from? The reason I ask is, we are changing ISPs, and I would like to see in the logs when an external connection is coming from our OLD ISP connection, and when it is coming through our new one. We have a Watchguard firewall, and I have both External

Did you mislead me Timo? You said search in 1.1+ is faster than 1.0. I'm seeing approximately 20x *slower* search times in 1.2.10. Via Thunderbird, a full body search of my 11,000+ message IMAP folder hosted by 1.0.15 used to take less than 10 seconds. Since upgrading to 1.2.10 the search is taking over 3 minutes, the imap process servicing the client pegging one CPU at 100% for the

Hi all, We're looking at upgrading our current mail platform from 1.0.15 to 2.x to take advantage of the new director functionality. Our main concern is the number of mailboxes involved (circa. 300K) and the rebuilding of the index files, especially as it seems that once you've upgraded, rolling back requires the deletion and recreation of all indices. Has anyone worked on an

I am trying to help a small shop migrate off an old DOS sales application and was hoping to find a Linux alternative. Anyone have any experience with these types of applications, it would likely be a 2-3 user setup. Thanks! jlc

System: Debian 5.0.4 Lenny Kernel: custom 2.6.31.1 built from kernel.org source Dovecot: 1.0.15-2.3+lenny1 Available: 1.2.9-1~bpo50+1 Mailbox format: mbox Storage location: /home/$user/mail/ on ext2 fs Delivery: Postfix 2.5.5 local to /var/mail/$user As you can see Debian has a backport package of Dovecot 1.2.9 available to Lenny users, and it appears it is a big jump forward in terms of

Hello Fellow Campers, I''m feeling crazy tonight and thought I''d go ahead and announce my new little project riding on the Camping framework: Dream Ledger (http://www.dreamledger.com). The app was written to scratch a personal itch, which is the simple fact that I wanted an easy way to record my nightly dreams and sleep experiences. Think about it as ''dream

Upgraded from Debian Dovecot 1.0.15 to Debian Dovecot 1.2.10-1~bpo50+1. I use Postfix local delivery to and Dovecot mbox. As per upgrade directions, I stopped dovecot processes and deleted all dovecot.index.cache files in /home/%user/mail/.imap. Performed upgrade to 1.2.10-1~bpo50+1. Modified new dovecot.conf for my environment. Started dovecot. Problem: Instantly noticed in TB 3.0.1 Win32

Hi, folks, Got an older Dell R410, with an LSI 1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08). It *appears* that a) trying MegaRaid, and b) from what I'm googling, that what I need are mptfusion-related packages. Unfortunately, yum shows me nothing available in base, epel, or rpmfusion. Am I looking for the wrong thing, or does anyone have a source (no, I haven't looked at LSI, sorry

Hi, I am looking for an offline accounting package recommendation, please. I enjoyed using Xero accounting, but need something that's offline, and where the data remains my property. Having used Quickbooks on Windows in the past, I am looking for something similar. Any recommendations? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers Website: http://www.rudiahlers.co.za

Hi all, I have just installed and configured a squid setup authenticating against Active Directory using kerberos tickets and have achieved the holy-grail of IT - Single Sign On! The problem is that I have two users for whom is does not work. The ntlm_auth logs show that for users that are properly authenticated against squid we get the following (Usernames/Domains/Hosts have been changed for

With 1.0.15 my configuration I a single dovecot-auth process, which is what I want now.

Hello, I am examining whether puppet meets our needs. I can''t find the answer to two questions I am looking to answer, hopefully someone can help. 1. Can puppet be used to manage different classes of the same computers, e.g. do something on the apache test farm, if it works then do it on the apache live farm; and is this done cleanly? 2. How are package updates (e.g. yum update/yum

Hi all, We''re writing a few scripts at the moment that could really make use of Facter, however the vast majority of them team (including my self!) are not proficient in Ruby, however they are highly proficient in other languages such as (dare I say it!) Python. Is there (or are there any plans to!) release bindings for other languages to enable facts to be used in scripts other

With 1.2.11 and mbox storage, the delay time in pulling new mail headers to the client from imap folders seems to be directly proportional to mailbox size, regardless of the number of new messages. At present, if the mailbox is large, pulling new headers is rather painfully slow. Is this expected behavior? Especially given that the client already has all the "old" mails in the folder

Hello Folks, I have a couple of questions - one about a basic UPS choice I am to make for a small UK office environment and the second about NUT Windows support. For the UPS, I have 2 or 3 servers, a phone system and a switch i.e. a basic : - Dell R410 1U (2x IEC) - Dell SC1425 1U (1x IEC) - Mitel 3300 CXi phone system (1x IEC) - Netgear GS748T switch (1x IEC) It would be good to also be able

Greetings everyone, I'm new to the list as of today. I just installed Dovecot a couple of days ago for the first time, Debian Lenny Dovecot v1.0.15-2.3. So far I'm pretty impressed. I'm using mbox format with Dovecot auto-deciding to place mail in user home directories, which is great. It works very well with the Win32 Thunderbird 3 client over a small basic 100FDX switched net.
