Hi, I want to do a simple backup of my maildir. I read here that maildirlock is not to count on in the future and the recommended option was to use doveadm backup. However, it seems that this requires to setup another dovecot server. My questions are: - How much to I need to configure this new server? Do I need to setup user by user, or even install postfix (that's where my users are

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with CentOS 7.0 in a few virtual guests, trying to install a reduced GNOME desktop as well as a minimal KDE desktop. I'm following this documentation: http://www.dokuwiki.tachtler.net/doku.php?id=tachtler:centos_7_-_minimal_desktop_installation I'm stuck at this point: # yum groupinstall "X Window System" Now I remember this from CentOS 5.x, when I began desktop installations with a minimal base system, then I added X11, configured it (using the minimal TW...

...of this email I am trying to get "Mailbox sharing between users" to work. For starters it is very hard to follow the doc only https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/shared_mailboxes/ without an actual example. I tried to use this (sorry in German) https://dokuwiki.tachtler.net/doku.php?id=tachtler:dovecot_shares and this got me a little further down the track. I followed the instructions required for the dovecot config files. Restarted dovecot, not errors displayed in the logs. I have got access to two user accounts, say USER1 and USER2. I executed this lines dove...

I have been thinking, and reading, on how to back up my mailserver. I have not found any approach that seems ready to use. I have run years without any backup, but would really like to have something in place.? I figure I can attach a USB drive and backup to that, then from there rsync to something elsewhere.? Further if that USB drive is a full mailserver image, I actually have a 'hot

...backing up dovecot with it's different mail storage flavours. - But you have to invest some effort on your own, to search, read, evaluate and finally choose what's fitting into YOUR setup! But as an starting point: I'm using a for _MY setup_ modified and adopted version of Klaus Tachtler's dovecot-backup script: https://github.com/tachtler/dovecot-backup/blob/master/dovecot_backup.sh ... mixed it with Borg Backup: https://www.borgbackup.org/ ... some further encryption, cloud storage and ... and ... and other stuff. But as above mentioned: YOU have to think about the grade...

...le for help, is often a good - if even not the only way to getting things done. It was not my intention to insult you! I hope this did not come in to your mind ... Personally I would have a look at the mentioned Dovecot-backup-script as a start. It does really a very good job! Cudos to Klaus Tachtler! Another option could be, to sync your mail via mbsync/isync or offlineimap to your Notebook ... but as an alternative backup, it depends on how many users are on your Dovecot-server. In a second cycle, you can then extend or modify this script - as I have been doing. But you should bear i...

...your mother tongue, but seeing your last name, I assume you may be speaking German.

...an, thanks for the links. > https://www.it-management-kirchberger.at/manuals-tutorials/server-centos-7/postfix-mailserver-vimbadmin/postfix-amavisd-new-clamav-spamassassin.html I could not find anything there related to multidrop or "catch all" mailboxes. > https://www.dokuwiki.tachtler.net/doku.php Nothing like that there either. > https://dokuwiki.nausch.org/doku.php/centos:mail_c7:spam_6 This is a huge document with little introduction. It seems to be mostly about fighting spam. I did not find anything like the setup I described. Regards, rdiez
