However, I noticed errors in the logs when retreiving mail with the MUA along the lines of: Aug 26 16:59:48 mail dovecot: IMAP(simon at lydiard.net): open(/var/spool/mail/virtual/domain.net/simon/cur/1314328966.V801I166601bM756462.mail.net,S=2461:2,) failed: Permission denied (euid=999(mailsystem) egid=115(mailsystem) missing +r perm: /var/spool/mail/virtual/domain.net/simon/cur/1314328966.V801I166601bM756462.mail.net,S=2461:2,) After messing around with the chown and chmod (even though these were exactly the same as the test server) I finally discovered the issue. mail:~# ls /var/spool...

Hello, i have to backup (tape library) a mailsystem with about 300.000 Mailboxes on 2 backends. Summary of all mailboxes are 2 TByte. The mailstore is mdbox. Is it save to do a simple filesystem backup (full and incremental) with backupsoftware? What is the prefered strategy to do a backup for desaster recovery (mailsystem crash) and restoring si...

...nger time periods. That's fine, but space consuming. The maildirs are about 1 TB in total, and not long ago we enabled zlib which is very nice. Now I have some thoughts about the next steps: a) Migrating the whole system to a new server with more storage? b) Install a virtual server for the mailsystem and an extra storage system may be NFS? c) Stay with the current server and move all mails to a bigger NFS storage. The last option c) would be the most easy one for me as I currently have NFS space. Any thoughts? Hints regarding the NFS storage? Pros Cons? I have seen the dovecot wiki on NFS a...

The mdbox-format with the altstorage-feature is quite nice and important. But we're having much more then >> 30 TB of maildata and doing an fsck on huge partitions takes too much (down-) time for our mailsystem. It would be much easier, if Dovecot would be able to use at least THREE storage-paths for his m-Files (and not just TWO like now). Having an altstorage1 and altstorage2, we would be able to move away all mails from on altstorage-mountpoint, we could put this storage-moungpoint into "mainten...

my mailsystem is using postfix and virtual mailbox which stored in mysql db. SMTP AUTH is using PAM, pam-mysql to authenticate against a mysql db. I installed dovecot 0.99-14. In the dovecot example config file it mentioned that auth_passdb can check against thru PAM but auth_userdb didn't Does it mean th...

Hi, I have mailsystem with virtual users only (/home/vmail/domain/user). I need to integrate RT3.x (a ticketing system). I have installed the client but I need to send mail to a pipe.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi :) Is there any plan to include delivery agent in 1.x? I would be very happy, if there would be lmtp delivery agent included with dovecot 1.x... This would make creating large mailsystem cluster creation very simple + indexes would be always up2date.

HI I don't know if this is a dovecot issue or a client one. But as Dovecot is the most recent change, I'll start here. I have a server that's been running Courier for about 6 years and in all that time I think I've only ever had 1 issues where an entire mail box was repopped by a webmail client. However, since moving to a new server and dovecot 4 weeks ago, I've now had the

Hello all, I hope that it now works and there is no longer problems with my mailsystem. It could be that it already worked but it doesn''t look like because the mail don''t came back from the list. I am trying to setup stubdomains for my running domains on Xen 4.2. I read this wiki articles: http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/StubDom http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Device_Model...

Hi, What are people doing for backups ? My current process is LVM snapshot and backup from that to NFS share. But there seems to be hints around the internet that people use/abuse "doveadm backup" for backup purposes even though it seems its original intention was for transferring mailboxes between dovecot instances. Assuming its ok to "doveadm backup" to an NFS share, is it

Hi, I have a mailsystem where i have some local users with shell access and full home dirs which receive mail and also several SQL virtual users only for mail. With the virtual users, everything works fine. Mail is delivered via LMTP and also sieve works :) The SQL Lookup knows what to do with username at domain.com T...

...domains to deliver to one inbox with Dovecot? For example, user1 at example.com and user1 at example.net should both be delivered to /var/spool/mail/virtual/example.net/user1 Currently, I have the dovecot LDA set as: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=mailsystem argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} and in dovecot.conf: mail_location: maildir:/var/spool/mail/virtual/%d/%n For some domains only, I need to override that mail_location. Related to that, when user1 leave and user2 would like to receive user1's email, how can...

Hi, I'm sorry to bug you with an not directly dovecot related question, but this is for me right now the place with the best mailsystem admins I know. I'm asked if there is a way to save a copy of all mail we send trough our sendmail server (Red Hat EL 5.x) in and out as an .eml file for further processing by a DMS system. The files should be saved on some network share. Any suggestion are welcome and thanks. Best regards G?t...

Dear all, We are getting closer to the migration of our mailsystem. Now I have a special question. We are successfully using passdb { driver = pam } and that is good. Now, how would I tell dovecot to proxy certain users (the ones not yet migrated) to the old server? My attempts to configure an additional userdb failed since this seems to override the passd...

...re is no good way to keep the trash out of the quotathing and that's not the point of my question. The question is: Is there a way where Dovecot (or Postfix) inform the user that his quota is reaching its limit? Or maybe the postmaster, thats not important. The important thing is a way where my mailsystem tells somebody that quotas are reaching their limits.

As I see it, a mailsystem Wiki should have some specific divisions itself. One would be 'General' and then it would likely need 'Sendmail', 'Postfix', 'Qmail' areas. I'm just thinking out loud here. I've never done anything on a Wiki. I think a good initial layout however would be...
