The mdbox-format with the altstorage-feature is quite nice and important. But we're having much more then >> 30 TB of maildata and doing an fsck on huge partitions takes too much (down-) time for our mailsystem. It would be much easier, if Dovecot would be able to use at least THREE storage-paths for his m-Files (and not j...

Hello, first time here. I am playing with Dovecot because of its mdbox storage, SIS feature and altstorage ability. I authenticate against LDAP (passdb), but I don't fetch operational data from LDAP (mail_locations are static from config files and "user_attrs = =uid=500, =gid=500, =home=/maildata1/home/%d/%1n/%n"). On a daily basis I run "doveadm altmove -A savedbefore 5d" Th...

Hi, we are thinking about storing older mails (eg. safed before 6 months) to an alternative storage mounted via NFS from an external storage box. Some technical details - the storage will be connected via 1 gbit ethernet. Access will be allowed from different dovecot servers, but only to divided directories for each dovecot. - storage has the option to use RAID 5 or 6. Max. amount of Disks are

...with using the dbox > format (especially mdbox) if you use this format. mdbox is THE reason why I am trying Dovecot. With mailboxes of several (tens of) GB with several k of messages I hope mdbox will speedup backups. Also SIS for attachments sounds very good, but still doesn't follow the altstorage rules (while messages go to altstorage, the extracted attachment stays in the SIS partition). > I am contemplating changing my maildir setup to mdbox but I still need > to make a case for it My current interest is to keep live mailbox data in Maildir format and "archive" in the a...

I am interested in finding out your experiences with using the dbox format (especially mdbox) if you use this format. I am contemplating changing my maildir setup to mdbox but I still need to make a case for it against maildir which has become a de-facto standard and provides sort of a secure basis in case of software changes. Your input will be appreciated. -- Andreas Kasenides Senior IT

Hi all, in my settup i decided to set mail_home in 10-mail.conf, and let dovecot do the hashing to a 2-level directory structure. mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:ALT=/altstorage/%h/mdbox mail_home = /vmail/%1Mu/%2.1Mu/%u In my userdb ist homedirectory not set and everythink works as expected, except when i use rawlog i get only logs in ~/dovecot.rawlog if home is set in userdb. In wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog it reads: If you don't have the home di...

...limits for mdbox_rotate_size. Like, 50M for primary storage and 100M or larger for alternate storage. There is no mention in docs or such a possibility, so I assume it is not possible. Is that correct? While I am at it, is it possible to configure primary storage as maildir (sturdy indexes) and altstorage as mdbox (more delicate indexes)? Thanks, Paolo

...odes - using Director to send clients to the correct node. We have about 10,000 mailboxes using about 6TB at the moment, a mix of IMAP and POP, probably 65% IMAP. I'm thinking of moving from Maildir to Dbox; using 2TB NVMe drives in RAID1 as primary storage and 4x 6TB SATA disks in RAID10 for altstorage and probably smaller SATA SSDs in RAID1 for the indexes. I guess my question is, have other people had bad experiences with flash based storage on medium sized mail servers and does splitting the storage like these seem sensible for Dbox in terms of maximizing performance? Thanks! S.

Hi:   I did a simple test with Dovecot-2.3.9:            First step : A test account uses mdbox format to store emails with 'mail_location = mdbox:%h/%Ld/%Ln:ALT=%h/altstorage/%Ld/%Ln',           Second step: I adjust 'mail_location = auto:'  and dovecot restart           Third step: telnet 127.0.0.1 143  then log in and fetch emails.   &nb...
