similar to: nfs dotlock issues

Hi List, While (bluntly) testing the prerelease version of dovecot on our mailfarm (just for the webmail imap) we noticed some small problems: - While our OLD dovecot/imap drove the load to a maximum of 1 over a day after running, the new dovecot/imap pushes it easily to 20. This is mainly due to a LOT more disk activity. This is probably caused by the fact we a) use indexes on disk and

Hi list, I am trying to build an email system that is using multiple frontends, to a clustered backend using nfs. The backend mounts his filesystems from a central storage, and will be running active-active. While reading through the dovecot documentation, I read that I could do without indexes (well: use memory indexes), and could then be able to run dovecot over NFS. Well: that was until

Dear list, I have a small issue with dovecot talking to a postgresql server: If my postgres server get restarted, dovecot fails to reconnect to the postgres server. I run dovecot 0.99.9.1 (which is actually a cvs version of dovecot, of may 9 2003) I have the same postgres version for the server as I use for the libraries. Is it hard to get auto-reconnect to work? Kind regards, Maikel

This was ment for the list :) Sorry Stuart, for the double email...

My dovecot is from cvs, updated yesterday, and running on Redhat 7.3 (if that matters). Here is my dovecot-pgsql.conf: --8<-- # # Postgress connect string. Similar to PHP

Hey list, Today I cvs updated to the most recent dovecot, to test with the recent improvements on the dovecot-uidlist file, and came acros the following: Apr 11 12:49:36 pc-5-046 imap(): Corrupted index file (in-memory index for /var/mail/mounted/test.com/maikel/Maildir//.Sent Items): Filename mismatch for UID 1: 1050058115.P3401Q0M675362.pc-5-046.test.nl:2,S vs

Hi List, When I try to set the default_pass_scheme in dovecot-pgsql.conf to CRYPT, the dovecot does not recognize my crypted passwords. If I prepend my encrypted passwords with {CRYPT}, dovecot DOES recognize it. (even when I set default_pass_scheme to PLAIN). Is this supposed to work, or am I misinterpreting things here? Thank you!

Hi list! Since a week I am testing with dovecot, and I must say, I like it a lot :) Keep up the good work :) I do have one questing regarding dovecot: If I login to a mailbox, and the mailbox does NOT exist, and the parent directory does not exist either, I will get disconnected, and dovecot claims it cannot create the directory. (eg: my user blah at test.com has mail directory

Hi List! I read a post about moving a .mailbixlist to a .subscriptionfile when a user did not have one, but did have a .mailboxlist file. Timo emailed a module for that purpose, so it could be done for this user. My question is: - Where and how does dovecot call this function? - Would it be easy to use a module to a) create a mailpath (can be done as the mailuser's id, I use one uid, and my

Hi List! At the moment, our company is preparing to migrate from MS-Exchange to a dovecot mail platform. Since there is no way to access the emails on the file-store other than using webmail, pop or imap, I wanted to do this by using an imap-to-imap copy tool. I have found one that does the job (but POORLY), named migrate (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cyrus-utils/). Does anyone know some

Greetings, I recently rolled out Dovecot in our small (<30 people) company, and have been mightily impressed by the quality, performance and ease of use. I was hoping to use the new versions soon, as I'd like to start using CRAM-MD5 (much more common in mail clients than DIGEST-MD5), but found the 0.99.11 versions too unstable. So, I tried to build last nights CVS snapshot (May

An lme4 user pointed out <https://github.com/lme4/lme4/issues/491> that passing contrasts as a string or symbol to [g]lmer (which would work if we were using `contrasts<-` to set contrasts on a factor variable) is *silently ignored*. This goes back to model.matrix(), and seems bad (this is a very easy mistake to make, because of the multitude of ways to specify contrasts for factors in R

I have to make dotlock work because this openwebmail thing only supports one of dotlock or flock, but procmail delivery does dotlock and fcntl. procmail correctly creates a dotlock file in /var/spool/mail/username.lock when delivering, I can watch this with `while :; do ls -la | grep lock; done`. It works fine when lock_method=fcntl, but no dotlock file shows up in /var/spool/mail.

I have a few clients that have more than one user in the same mailbox. I have my setup using fctrl for mailbox and index locking. My mail is stored on a network file system (gluster) and my indexes are stored on the local drive.

Dear expeRts, I came across the following error in using model.frame: # make a data.frame jet=data.frame(y=rnorm(10),x1=rnorm(10),x2=rnorm(10),rvar=rnorm(10)) # spec of formula mf1=y~x1+x2 # make the model.frame mf=model.frame(formula=mf1,data=jet,weights=rvar) Which gives the desired output: > mf y x1 x2 (weights) 1 0.8041254 0.1815366 0.4999551 1.4957814 2

Dear Ben, Perhaps I'm missing the point, but contrasts.arg is documented to be a list. From ?model.matrix: "contrasts.arg: A list, whose entries are values (numeric matrices or character strings naming functions) to be used as replacement values for the contrasts replacement function and whose names are the names of columns of data containing factors."
