similar to: Indexing of mails to speed up the IMAP SEARCH command

While using 1.1.13 and squat with local pine imap on Solaris 9 I had a random core dump today. I was doing a search in a maildir folder with about 2000 emails. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce it yet, but I wanted to send along the info anyways. Environment: # uname -a SunOS 5.9 Generic_122300-39 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 Backtrace: http://pastebin.com/f7aa8bb5 ~#

Hello all, Following the Dovecot wiki and migration help, we recently migrated our core IMAP systems from Courier to Dovecot on Solaris. So far it's been working great, but I have one issue that I'm curious about. Just as the docs mention, we also use "syslog_facility = mail" for logging. Unlike in the past, failed PAM auth attempts are now getting logged as mail.error: Nov

Hi all, I was just wondering when this update will trickle down into the Centos repo: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0611.html Obviously, it just came out yesterday, so I'm not expecting it to suddenly appear. ;) Just curious what the turn around time usually is for RHEL bug fixes that get released and when we should expect it. As a side note, does anyone know if there is a way

Hi all, I recently upgraded from courier to dovecot 1.1.12 on a Solaris 9 system with about 100 users. We have been testing dovecot for sometime in a mixed Linux/Solaris environment and are aware of the index endianess issue with multiple archs. To solve this, we run with INDEX=MEMORY (as seen in the docs) so that only Linux clients have anything to do with the indexes. We generally have

Hi all, I crawled through the archives for a bit but didn't see anything helpful, so I apologize if this has already been addressed. We've been dying to move from Courier to Dovecot across our whole infrastructure for quite some time, but until recently our setup wasn't possible until this happened: "Dovecot allows mailboxes and their indexes to be modified by multiple

Hi all, I just upgraded a couple of Fedora 9 workstations to try out 1.1.1 over NFS'd homedir's and I'm having trouble running dovecot in the same configuration we were with 1.0.14. It's fairly simple, we use pine/alpine and set a couple of variables to fork rimapd directly: * smtp-server=host (for the main mail machine) * user-domain=host (same) * set the

Just wanted to share the bad news: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541337 It seems that Dovecot is really showing the Mozilla Thunderbird team how to read and use an RFC ;-) -- Christian Rohmann Content Delivery Server u.

Hi, I was just looking for some advice on avoiding getting DoS'd from brute force log in attempts. We came in this morning to find that one of our Solaris 9 dovecot severs had wedged overnight due to a brute force connection attempt to pop3 from Brasil. In the span of about 15 seconds we received 342 connection auth attempts from the same IP: Sep 3 00:10:51 xxxxx dovecot: [ID 583609

The thing is, on the same machine, same net same moment, when I load the same folder from windows XP (through parallels) it takes like 10sec while samba 10min!!! MTU is 1500, set to match 100T devices like router and NAS on the LAN. Even on crossover cable it freaks out the same way. Btw my NAS is a Lacie Ethernet drive with linux based firmware and samba.

Timo (and anyone else who feels like chiming in), I was just wondering if you'd be able to tell me if the amount of corruption I see on a daily basis is what you consider "average" for our current setup and traffic. Now that we are no longer experiencing any core dumps with the latest patches since our migration from courier two months ago, I'd like to know what is expected

Please, is there an R function /package that allows for 3D stairway plots like the attached one ? In addition, how can I overlay a parametric grid plot??

Quick question. How important are these? Are the errors recoverable and not a big deal, or are they actually a problem? I see a few of these randomly over the course of the day.

I use offlineimap to sync my remote IMAP-server with my local IMAP-server (maildir format). But I don't understand this behavior: every new mail in the INBOX has a file-date which is one hour in the future. Is this 'normal'? Is this a problem of offlineimap? I tried this debugging (for dovecot): mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap and this (for offlineimap):

Dear list, I am running dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian server. One user reports continuous problems synchronising her mailbox via IMAP (offlineimap, via SSH tunnel or SSL socket). It seems that she has a large, locally-created message, but the uplink bandwidth seems to be not enough to push it before dovecot times out the APPEND command. The error/exception happens inside offlineimap's Python

Hi. I use dovecot in the simplest possible way, as an IMAP server in pre-auth mode over ssh or just locally over a unix-domain socket (e.g., with offlineimap, which runs much faster using dovecot for the local message store). Ideally I would like to avoid running any extra daemons or setting up anything as root. Until recently, this has worked fine by just setting the CONFIG_FILE environment

Hello, To easily access my mail both offline on my computer and on my phone, I am synchronizing a local copy on my computer using offlineimap. As the spam filtering options provided on the server are not sufficient, I am now looking into client-side spam filtering. My current setup is as follows. Mail is synchronized using offlineimap, and delivered to a local dovecot server:
