Hi! I am about to migrate a perdition-based IMAP/POP3 proxy to Dovecot. Unfortunately some users are behind a firewall/NAT setup which throws away seemingly idle TCP connections sooner than the established default of 24 hours (more likely after 30 minutes ...) resulting in all kinds of weird client behavior. And unfortunately? this firewall/NAT setup is outside of my control and I have no means

Hi! I've been pondering about doveadm-search-query(7) and trying to formulate a search query for some time now and it seems there is no way to search for messages, which have been marked DELETED before a certain time. I want to use this to expunge all DELETED messages which have been in that state for 24h or longer. For example a cronjob runs at midnight to expunge those messages but a user

Hi! I am currently in the process of preparing a migration of our old Courier-based IMAP/POP server setup to a Dovecot-based one. During this process I came across the following problem with the difference Courier and Dovecot handle deleted messages and mail quota. Quote from http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/README.maildirquota.html: ,---- | The default application configuration that uses this

These numbers roughly match my results. About 6 TB of mail compresses down to about 3 TB. The

Hi, We are haing some serious issues trying to configure an OCFS2 cluster on 3 SLES 10 SP2 boxes running in VMware ESX 3.0.1. Before I go into any of the detailed errors we are experiencing I first wanted to ask everyone if they have successfully configured this solution? We would be interested to find out what needs to be set at the VMware level (RDM, VMFS, NICS etc) and what needs to be

hi! In table I see this: | papp.tamas at center.hu | 118671994 | 20437 | du -sm says, the size of the maildir is 154M. I use xfs. I can't figure out, why is there a difference. Can you help me out? Thank you, tamas

Dear list, One of my users is reading e-mail from his phone. When he logs in, this is what I see in my logs : Apr 10 16:17:58 auth-worker(17101): Debug: sql(xxx at mydomain.tld,52.184.164.73): query: SELECT email as user, password FROM users WHERE email = LOWER('xxx at mydomain.tld') [...] Apr 10 16:17:58 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<xxx at mydomain.tld>, method=LOGIN,

Hi, Out of curiosity, has anyone managed to use mail-trends[0] to analyse their e-mails. I thought about trying it out, but got stuck midstream. The mail-trends scripts work very well with gmail, but because they say it is supposed to work with _any_ IMAP server, I thought I could get it running with Dovecot too. I know this is NOT a mail-trends support group though, but I believe there is

Hi Timo, little cosmetic bug report: using "verbose_proctitle = yes" shortens the proctitle of dsync to just "dsyn". Example: Note the whitespace instead of the 'c' in the proctitle: root at m-st-01:~# ps auwwwx | grep [d]syn virtmail 18141 13.0 0.1 49916 7952 pts/6 R+ 00:49 0:00 dsyn -v -u xxyyzz7 -R backup maildir:/staging/xxyyzz7/Maildir With

Currently if user is 1MB under quota and someone tries to deliver mail that is over 1MB, Dovecot rejects the mail. But smaller mails aren't rejected probably for days. So user might not even realize that they didn't receive one of the mails. Also having a user "almost over quota" is a rather strange state I think. So what do you think about v2.2 allowing delivery of one last

Hi All, I am trying to determine whether a mail server cluster based on Dovecot will be capable of supporting 500,000+ mailboxes with about 50,000 IMAP and 5000 active POP3 connections. I have looked at the Dovecot clustering suggestions here: http://blog.dovecot.org/2012/02/dovecot-clustering-with-dsync-based.html and some other Dovecot mailing list threads but I am not sure how many

Is anybody here monitoring Dell SAS6/iR RAID health? I have a mix of CentOS 5.9 and 6.3 installs on the PE1950s. I'm finding drivers and Megaraid Storage Manager downloads via LSI's site, but I'd prefer not to install a bunch of crapware. All I need is the proper LSI daemon which exports info via SNMP. I've used check_sasraid_megaraid Nagios script [0] in the past for PERC5i and

I''m planning on setting up an NFS server for our ESXi hosts and plan on using a virtualized Solaris or Nexenta host to serve ZFS over NFS. The storage I have available is provided by Equallogic boxes over 10Gbe iSCSI. I am trying to figure out the best way to provide both performance and resiliency given the Equallogic provides the redundancy. Since I am hoping to provide a 2TB

This question is off topic. I ask this list because the question is related to security and IMAP and I guess the people in this list know a lot about both of that. Is there a secure reverse proxy for the IMAP protocol? Something you can install on a bastion host which checks the IMAP traffic before forwarding it to the internal IMAP server? There are these proxies for WebMail to IMAP connections

Hi! I've got a segfault in managesieve while using: sieve_extensions = -vacation -reject -spamtest -virustest -enotify -redirect The problem seems to lie in "-redirect". Reason for excluding "redirect" from sieve is my users should not use sieve to forward or redirect mails but use an external method (web-script to set LDAP attribute) which checks several things like
