Hello. I'm reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/1.1 one last time before my upgrade, and I have a question about quota_warning option. Which type of script must we use for this example: quota_warning = storage=95%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 What the script must doing? It sends an email? It deletes some emails? Thanks! -- -Nicolas.

CentOS 5.1 Dovecot & Postfix (part of CentOS install & updated) I understand that there is a package which is part of Dovecot to handle "Auto Responses" known as Vacation. Where I can find more info on this package & especially how to install & configure it? Thanks Kirt

Hi Johannes. I wanted to try out the antispam plugin for a Dovecot 1.1 install, only to learn that 1.1 is actually not supported. Are there any plans to remedy this? If not, is it known how much effort is required? (i.e. could I do it myself?). Thanks, Anders.

Hi, I am upgrading a setup from Dovecot 0.99 to 1.1. There are a bunch of .imap.index* files that it appears that I can just delete, and they will be recreated as dovecot.index* files. Right? Next, there are some .customflags that I have now learned are not being converted to dovecot-keywords (as we skipped the 1.0 version, and the conversion code appears to be removed in 1.1). Is there some way

I have a simple Sieve rule to protect me from accidentally deleting mail: fileinto :copy "backup"; Should I expect this backup to be hardlinked to the ordinary one? Obviously, that would make the backup be almost for free in terms of storage, but currently I do not see any linking. Using Maildir, by the way, and I have not touched the maildir_copy_with_hardlinks setting. TIA,

I did a little too much copy/paste, and ended up with an ldap config file containing a line of the form user_filter = user_filter = (&objectClass=... (with "user_filter =" repeated). This caused the auth process to segfault (v1.1.rc1). I suppose that I can reproduce this problem if more information is needed. Anders. 11:56:33 localhost dovecot: auth(default): ldap(a at

Hello. I am on an irrational crusade against unneeded timers (it started as a well-meaining power saving exercise), and I have now started removing polling in Dovecot. Attached is a patch with the work I did on this the other night. Would something like that be acceptable, or should I make it in a different way? There seems to be no one-shot timer support, right? Is there a Dovecot coding

Hi, I am contemplating migrating from maildir to dbox. However, I wonder about the maturity of the dbox code, as it appears to not be widely used. Does anybody have some success stories? My primary driver is to have non-changing file names, and thus smaller backup deltas. Are there other advantages that I should pursue? I read in the wiki that the migration is straightforward, but I did not

We have a few users that every so often get empty data in their message overview. From and subject are empty, and the date is 1-Jan-1970. When opening the message in full view, all things are fine. Also, the data in the actual maildir file is fine. It looks a lot like the issue described here: http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2008-March/029282.html The server is Linux, ext3, no NFS, and Dovecot

I want to read quota size from LDAP, but I have a static value for home. How can I mix these? Right now, I have this LDAP configuration: user_attrs = uid=home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n,gosaMailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$M which works fine, but looks up the uid attribute needlessly, and is not scalable: I have to pick a different, always-existing LDAP attribute for each static extra field

Hi. Just got this error (1.1.rc4), is it something to worry about? Corrupted index cache file /.../Maildir/.Sent/dovecot.index.cache: used_file_size too large This is a shared mailbox with concurrent access. In general, can that usage pattern mess up the index? I am guessing "no", which is why I worry slightly about the warning. Cheers, Anders.

Dovecot (v1.1.rc8) died tonight, with an error about time moving backwards by 4398 seconds. I can see from logs that this has happend a few times before with the imap processes, without me noticing. I sure noticed the master process missing, though :-). I was puzzled that it was always 4398 seconds, in particular because this server runs an NTP daemon. A little searching for this problem shows

Hi. What does the warning "Inotify instance limit for user exceeded, disabling." mean, and how do I get rid of it? I assume that I have to change a limit somewhere? Regards, Anders.

Hello again. I am trying to use a master user. The login works. However, a LIST command gives me only the INBOX. Is this to be expected? When logging in normally, I do get the full list of folders. (using Dovecot 1.1 rc3.) Anders.
