I'm considering putting two servers with failover IP-addresses in front of our pop/imap cluster, with dovecot in proxy-mode running on both servers. But, can dovecot handle more than one backend server for each user ? I.e. I would want to point the dovecot proxy to send userX to backend-server1, or backend-server2 if backend-server1 is down. Is something like that possible ? -jf

Hi, Here's the scenario. I want to set up a mailbox so that when mail sent to the address is piped to a processing application, instead of going to a mailbox. One way I can do this is to set up a mailbox and then have an application that checks to see if there's mail and then processes it. (Old school Unix script) Is there a way to set it up with dovecot? (Cleaner solution) Thx

I'm in the position where I'd like to offer IMAP access to a collection of email accounts which are stored in a very odd manner. Files are stored as: /blah/$dd-$mm-$yy/$domain/1234/1234 For example: /reject/12-3-2009/cvsrepository.org/35199/35199639 There is a single file for each mail, which I guess technically probably counts as an mbox folder, but only just. I

We are looking at deploying several pop/imap servers to house the mail for 15,000 or more mailbox accounts. We are contemplating on the design and are looking at using MySQL auth (we already have a MySQL environment in place for our user auth to live) and proxy_maybe so each server can proxy for all the others and we just have a network load balancer distribute the incoming connections to all of

Hi, I have two load-balanced dovecot servers using a single NFS mount. The version is 1.2.11. I chose this so that if one server goes down the other will take up the load, and if my load is too much for one server I just have to add more identical servers. It works, but I wish to move to SAN storage because the NFS server is exhibiting irregular performance. (I spent a lot of time with tcpdump to

Aside from the code is there any documentation on using dbox with a non-Dovecot LDA? We have our own MTA and currently use Dovecot with Maildir only for message retrieval and just have our MTA write the message files to our own directory structure (Dovecot per user mailbox locations stored in mysql) but I am interested in looking at moving to dbox if it is better for performance and other

On this page http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest/Running It gives command line parameters to define. One of them is "password=pass" but this resulted in an "Unknown arg" response for me on a fresh install. I then looked at some examples and they give the argument as "pass=pass" which works for me. Was the argument name changed recently or something?

I just downloaded 1.2.11 and compiled from source including mysql support and using default directory locations. I walked thru the included example conf file and tweaked it out and get an invalid configuration file. I trimmed out all of the commented sections to make the non-default config super easy to navigate during troubleshooting. Remaining config which gives an error of

First off, the website documentation is really good for Dovecot but while reading I was not able to find anything pertaining to inbox hashing for Maildirs. I saw plenty about hashing the directories that the user mailboxes live in but nothing about specifically hashing an individual user's inbox directory itself. Is there any method for hashing the inbox automatically after say 5,000
