...nothing working and the following spewing to my syslog: pipe() failed: Too many open files My setup: Solaris 9, just using imap, mbox format. The various "max" settings in dovecot.conf use the defaults. Suggestions on what to change in fovecot.conf to keep this from happening? Jeff Earickson Colby College

...e for syslog messages, and their mailbox operations would fail. In my case pine just closed the mailbox with an internal error. I did a quick fix by stopping dovecot, killing all dovecot processes, killing /usr/lib/nfs/lockd on the dovecot server, and restarting lockd. Ideas? Suggestions? Jeff Earickson Colby College

...a NFS. The user community has been warned to do either POP or IMAP, but not both. There are very few problems with this setup. I would like to use Dovecot for both POP and IMAP on the two machines. I know NFS is frowned upon, but this has worked for me. Comments and suggestions, please? Jeff Earickson Colby College

...re undefined (or otherwise unknown to gdb). The variable "first_nonexpunged" at line 470 of mbox-sync-rewrite.c is undefined, and I wondered why it was scoped so locally. The value of mails[idx] being undefined at mbox-sync-rewrite.c:353 also seems like bad news. Hope this helps.

..." has not given me a good feeling about seeing it before summer's end. So I wonder if I should use dovecot-1.0-test-xx code or dovecot-stable-[date] code (which seems to change every day, how stable is that???). This is confusing, advice please. My setup: Solaris 9, mbox format. Jeff Earickson Colby College

...n my dovecot.conf is here: default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%1u/%u:INDEX=~ Is the INDEX definition wrong? Or is this a bug? My setup: Solaris 10, mbox format, home directories are local UFS filesystems, INBOX is an NFS-mounted filesystem from another S10 box (NFS version 4). Jeff Earickson Colby College

...ebmail. My current connection settings are: login_max_processes_count = 2048 login_max_connections = 4096 Q: Does raising these limits actually make my problem worse or better? Are there any other variables that I should change to prevent the "too many open files"? Suggestions? Jeff Earickson Colby College

...2005. Questions: 1) Is this going to become a standard part of version 1.0? 2) Any plans or ability to make it read/write to a gzipped mailbox, or is this possible? Or will it always be read-only? 3) How does a mailbox get gzipped? From within dovecot somehow, or only by external action? Jeff Earickson Colby College

...n io_loop_run () #18 0x0002cd6c in main () My setup: Solaris 10, homedirs (imap cache files) on a local zfs filesystem, mailboxes NFS mounted from another Sun system (NFS v4) which is also zfs on the mail server. Mbox format, no disk quotas anyplace, no plugins. I have rolled back to rc24. Jeff Earickson Colby College

...rc, mbox format, INBOX NFSv4 mounted from another S10 sparc system, no disk quotas, ZFS filesystem for both the INBOX filesystem and the user's home directory. Unfortunately, I compiled dovecot with Sun's cc compiler, so the gdb traceback is fairly useless. I need to go back to gcc. Jeff Earickson Colby College

...Is there something like this already available? I realize that the index/cache files contain last-access data, but if the cache files become corrupted and have to be removed, then this last-access information is lost. I would like something independent of the cache files. Advice please... Jeff Earickson Colby College
