locking question
...nning the lockd daemon. Everybody wants to lock differently 1) procmail (delivering for sendmail), which seems to want to use dotlocking, fcntl and lockf locking; for whatever reasons, the compile time tests seem to disallow flock. 2) UWIMAP which according to wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/UW uses: mbox_read_locks = flock mbox_write_locks = dotlock flock 3) I want to run dovecot in the same environment as I switch over, for which the locking strategy is supposed to be (according to http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxLocking) mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl Since that same page in the wi...

imap locking spool?
How does IMAP lock the /var/spool/mail/user file? Here's my problem: I'm writing a script to expire old or oversize mail through a series of archive folders. I don't want to take the whole server down to do this, nor does it seem like I would have to lock the user out entirely if I can manage to emulate the locks correctly. I am able to lock /var/spool/mail/user (and ~user/mail/*)

cannot update mailbox - unable to lock for exclusive access
...c.com>, relay=local, delay=19, delays=0.07/0/0/19, dsn=4.2.0, status=deferred (cannot update mailbox /var/spool/mail/abc for user abc. unable to lock for exclusive access: Resource temporarily unavailable) Postfix is currently set to: mailbox_delivery_lock = fcntl, dotlock Dovecot has this: mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = fcntl dotlock I've scoured the web and tried all kinds of different locking mechanisms and combinations to no avail. The mail is eventually delivered but on a busy day this can take several hours. In the evening it generally doesn't happen, which leads me to...

mailbox locking
...endfile transport, procmail and a local mutt on my system, they all (to my knowledge) use lockfiles when working with mboxes. However, `doveconf | grep lock` says dotlock_use_excl = yes lock_method = fcntl mail_max_lock_timeout = 0 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 2 mins mbox_lock_timeout = 5 mins mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl pop3_lock_session = no Do I need to change anything in dovecot's default locking setup? Does it still use lockfiles on mboxes or not? There are some contradictory parameters IMHO. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49 at fidonet http...

Each time mail is deleted from mbox mailbox the whole mbox while needs to be rewritten to remove the mail. OpenSMTPD and Dovecot run on the same machine. OpenSMTPD receives incoming mails and
