Hello! somewhere in maillist I've seen RAID1+md concat+XFS being promoted as mailstorage. Does anybody in here actually use this setup? I've decided to give it a try, but ended up with not being able to recover any data off survived pairs from linear array when _the_first of raid1 pairs got down. thanks!

...ox. It turned out that 0.99 indeed works OK and that 1.0-stable is the problem. The user mailboxes are 'Maildir'; we do not use mbox format. I like to see this problem being fixed..... We have 2 namespaces in our setup: the default namespace and a namespace which location is set to ~/.Mailstorage. When not using a prefix in the email client setup, users can make new email folders in the default namespace and the 'Mailstorage' namespace. We want users only to create mail folders in the Mailstorage namespace, not in the default namespace. Questions: - Is it possible to force a p...

Hi there, I have a pretty standard setup with "simple" dovecot 2,0 configuration (eg /var/mailboxes on NFS with old netapp) and local ldap directory and Maildir. I wanted to find a good way to migrate from NFS old netapp to NFS new server (this one is not a netapp !). There 3 kind way (according to my own experience) - rsync old spool to new spool being patient stop services and

I don't want such mailbox. I have inbox namespace mail_location = maildir:/mailStorage/%Ld/%Ln:LAYOUT=fs namespace inbox { ? type = private ? separator = / ? prefix = ? inbox = yes } and another private namespace used for archiving namespace archive { ?prefix = archived/ ?inbox = no ?type = private ?location = maildir:/mailStorageArchive/%Ld/%Ln:LAYOUT=fs ?mailbox Archiv...

...I think this is possible by setting up a user database that returns the same mail location and possible the same home directory. This sharing would only occur in a single domain. Example User Database UserID | home | mail all at site1.example.com | /mail/home/site1.example.com/all | /mail/mailstorage/site1.example.com/all user1 at site1.example.com | /mail/home/site1.example.com/user1| /mail/mailstorage/ site1.example.com/all user2 at site1.example.com | /mail/home/site1.example.com/user2| /mail/mailstorage/ site1.example.com/all user1 at site2.example.com | /mail/home/site2.example.com/use...

Hi all, my environment: dovecot-1.0.rc15 Fedora Directory Server 1.0.2 Currently I've configured dovecote to find user's mail folder like this: dovecot.conf mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u/Maildir All my domain mailboxes are under /var/vmail, as evident. But there are some users whose mail folders are directly under /var/vmail like this one: /var/vmail/myuser1 at mydomain1.com

...for now while we could think of two ways to go: The first way (currently at testing stage): On each host system we created one VM and passed through 3x2TB disks into it. In guests vms on top of this disks we made XFS and fired up glusterfs with distributed replicated volumes for our mailstorage. so it looks like this: vm1??? replicate???? vm2 disk1 ------------> disk4 disk2 ------------> disk5 disk3 ------------> disk6 in each vm we mounted glusterfs and pointed dovecot to that dir for mail creation (as ltmp) and imap4 user access. also we use exim as smtp. So,...

Hi All, Sorry to bother you again. I am not too familiar with IMAP yet, so maybe I am asking stupid questions. Here goes anyway: In our (Dovecot 1.0-stable) setup, we have two namespaces: the default namespace, which location is '/var/mailstore/1%u/%u' and the "Mailstorage" namespace, which location is '~/.Mailstorage/'. Now we create a folder called 'Test' in the default namespace and the "Mailstorage" namespace. As far as I know this is possible and not a strange thing to do. When moving an email from the first 'Test' folde...

Hi, I have > 11 TB hard used Mailstorage, saved als maildir in ext3 on HP EVA. I always wanted to make some mesurements about several influences to the performance (switch to ext4, switch to mdbox), but I never had enough time to do that. At the moment I *need* more speed, we have too much waitI/O on the system and I already used al...

I have read already. Probably not so carefully but do not find any for multiple location option inside namespace.

Hello all, If I have several postfix/dovecot-lda boxes with shared nfs storage, how director helps in this scenario? is it necesary to use lmtp instead of dovecot-lda? With postfix/dovecot-lda boxes incoming mail happens at the smtp layer but director redirects are working in the lmtp/imap/pop3 layer.

...- but we're setting up a server for a client with normal users. So, we want to separate the Maildir from the directory being shared out over Samba. My question is this: Is it better to store the mail somewhere else entirely - i.e. /var/mail/users or something or a new home directory (/home/mailstorage) or something? In which case how best to set up permissions? It seems that when the mail is stored it gets the username as the owner:group. This should mean that logging in over imap should allow that user to read/manipulate mail. Or should I try to share out a different directory via Samb...

...system users. What I'd like to do: Users are stored in LDAP with the following schema: storageMailUid: contains user's uid in x at z format, and it CAN be different than mail address. This value is used to login (pop3/imap) and to get the maildir path (well, home) in the form of /mailstorage/z/x/ regardless of the value of the "mail" attribute. If @z part is missing (I mean the user supplied login, not the LDAP!), some default value (example.com) should be treated (I guess that's easy: auth_default_realm may be enough, isn't it). It is NOT possible to login v...

...information (which would be needed by some scripts of mine, eg for getting user's home easily from shell scripts, as it's hash based, etc) is caused because I don't pass home (and/or other settings) back from userdb and/or passdb. However I do have these in global scope: mail_home = /mailstorage/%Ld/%Ln (yes, this is not hashed at all at the momement but it will be soon) mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_uid = vmail mail_gid = vmail (... and also some global quota stuffs configured in plugin section) Now, I am a bit confused: even with passdb/userdb does not return with user home or...

Hi all, I plan to run a dovecot IMAPS and POPS service on our network. We handle about 3 000 mailboxes. I thought first buying a topnotch server (8 cores and 16 Go RAM) with equalogic iSCSI SAN SAS 15K for storage backend. On second though (and after a comprhensive read of dovecot features), I saw in http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation that index files can be created on a separete local
