Hi, i've set up a little mailserver for my homeoffice, and after some problems everything works fine for me, I've some virtual users which get their mail delivered via getmail, and I can access my mails from my windows mailclient. The only issue I'm still facing is, that I don't like to run getmail as a cronjob that connects to my online mailboxes every minute or so,

Thank you all for replies!!! Some missing infos... - As load balancer I'm using a pair of keepalived with simple setup and not the DNS - Load balancer algorithm is "Weighted Least-Connection" - About 20 domains and 3000 email - I'm monitoring my backend servers with poolmon - The backend servers are virtual machine (vmware) with datastore on "all flash" storage based

But then it loops again when get back to the postfix as an incoming message (doesn't know that abcd at localdomain.com is located on that Dovecot) <https://img.newoldstamp.com/r/292975/p> Adam Raszkiewicz p: 845.896.0191 e: araszkiewicz at medallies.com w: www.medallies.com <http://www.medallies.com/main.html> <https://img.newoldstamp.com/r/292975/twitter>

...basically have two independent servers that asynchronously sync emails. While it would work with loadbalancers/keepalived/director they are not necessary. If this is the way you want to go you should configure the loadbalancer to always send the same source-ip to the same backend (ip stickyness). Mailclients do open several connections in parallel and they should see the same data. With DNS this happens automatically because ips are rotated by resolvers and the mailclient gets the same ip for all its connections. Failover is builtin as mailclients just connect to the second ip when the first is not re...

...e a local delivery within the Dovecot > server > >Thanks, >Adam Why should a disabled LDA or a relayhost help in this matter? Honestly, who is sending what to where anyway? I mean Dovecot is an IMAP-Server: It receives emails from Postfix and mailclients connect to Dovecot to get these mails. When a mailclient sends an email it connects to Postfix not to Dovecot, so a delivery "within Dovecot" isn't really happening. Dovecot's LDA has options to send (bounce) mails back to Postfix. I guess loops occur there?...

hi i have a strange problem with my dovecot installtion: i configured it to accept digest-md5 authentication only but for some reason mailclients (i tried mutt and thunderbird so far) want to log with PLAIN (which fails of course). authentication basically works, e.g. if i explicitly set set imap_authenticators="digest-md5 in .muttrc everything works... any idea what is going wrong? config attached below tia yours albert # /etc/dov...

Dear Timo, most modern enterprises make use of a Public Key Infrastructure. It would be nice to have dovecot check a client certificate instead of a password. This makes life much easier and more secure. Mail clients like Mozilla and MS Outlook do support this. What do you think of the following feature request: - Client authenticates with a certificate via SSL. (Like stunnel can) - Dovecot

Hi, we have a strange problem: two of our users informed me, that they aren't able to send word-.doc-files anymore while othe attachements work fine. The e-mail gets deliverd, but the attachement is dropped. This happens using the latest thunderbird 1.5.x and mac os x. The e-mail is also not saved in the send-drawer. If the users send the same e-mail to the same recepient using an other

Hello, I intend to use maildir Quota for measurement only, not for applying restrictions. Therefore I defined rather high values. That's working as expected. Nevertheless it's not useful, because the recalculation time is to high. This takes some minutes for my own mailaccount with 250.000 mails on a NFS storage. This would be to bad, but whilst this time, the Mailclient hangs. Probably

Hi. If $otheruser shares a mailbox to $myuser, my private index is stored in *my* Maildir, according to this template (from the dovecot docs): mail_location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEXPVT=%h/Maildir/shared/%%u If $otheruser renames the shared mailbox, all my private mail flags (Seen) are lost because my mailclient couldn't find the private index anymore. Is there any way to store the

Thank you for your quick feedback. I added it to my plugins in the config. How can I make sure my mailclients are using it? Is there a way to check this like I can check headers with additional Firefox plug-in you may recomment?

I have to migrate some old system to new one with installed dovecot (It's my first time using dovecot). I have all mails inside /var/spool/mail folder (mbox files). I can connect and receive mails via POP3, but problem is that dovecot doesn't clear mbox file (everytime when I make send/receive in mailclient program I get all mails again). If I look into log file I see (when I do

Hi, we do have a Voiceboxserver which forward recorded avi messages to the mailserver account of users. I'v tested it for my account 10 minutes ago and everything works. Some users don't get the messages shown up in there mailclient while the logs show a delivery of that mail. May be some mail caches are messed up? We use Thunderbird 2 and the users concerned use imap. Where may I

when i use mailclientA to send mail, then the mailclientA program default will save it to folder "sendA", when i use mailclientB to send mail, then the mailclientB program default will save it to folder "sendB". i know i can configure the mailclient program to use which folder, but can i set something like "folder alias"? imap { # ln -s sendA sendB folder

Hi, I just yesterday played around and installed dovecot. I like it a lot (except for the lack of mysql support), but I have one issue I can't seem to fix. I am using mutt as my mailclient and mutt will alert me whenever new mail has arrived in any mailfolder I have configured. The thing is, that mutt continously signals me of new mail in all my folders, when in reality nothing has entered

Hi there, i need for JUNK & INFECTED mail two folders like INBOX. The folders must be fixed in naming, permissions and so on. I've adjusted some commands in the ./src/imap folder. But it's work not really fine: Creating a folder works, but deleting too. *smile* Moving a "special-name-folder" (f.e. from Trash) to its correct place, Dovecot says, that the folder

I've been testing test69 with pop3 (under Linux and with mbox). I began testing with a large inbox (11000 mails) and it seems the communication between dovecot and the mailclient (evolution) stalls after 1000-2000 messages transferred. I've looked in to the (non-trivial) io functionality of dovecot. What I see is that io_loop_handler_run() in ioloop-poll.c does not signal any more data
