Hi all, we've started receiving complaints from users that seemingly use more quota than they actually have. We noticed that these users have (in some cases many) .nfs files in their mailspool. Some of our admins checked their own dirs, and noticed them there as well. This could of course be unrelated to dovecot (kernel issue, netapp issue) but maybe somehow has an idea about if dovecot could

Hey all, I upgraded some servers today from Debian Lenny to Debian Squeeze, and after the upgrade I started getting dovecot crashes. I was on 2.0.13 but got these there as well, and hoped upgrading to 2.0.16 would help. It didn't. Anyone have an idea?

Hey all, we're in the process of checking out alternatives to our index storage. We're currently storing indexes on a NetApp Metrocluster which works fine, but is very expensive. We're planning a few different setups and doing some actual performance tests on them. Does anyone know some of the IO patterns of the indexes? For instance: - mostly random reads or linear reads/writes?

We've been running 1.1 on about half of our servers for about a week now. Ive mailed before that I was pleasantly surprised by its better use of resources. Here's a graph showing that fact. Server load in the last 10 days. http://uwimages.smugmug.com/photos/286355874_9FNp2-L.png Cor

Hi all, i just investigated a user complaint and found a read-only dovecot-uidlist. Since dovecot couldnt write it, the process failed. Users can not reach this file, so how this became readonly is beyond me. Must be something in dovecot. Maybe an older bug? Doing a search now for more readonly uidlist files, but that'll take a few hours. Cor

Hey all, im experimenting with dovecot stats service, and graphing the result. My initial results are kind of interesting. Check out this graph showing connected sessions and users: http://grab.by/dReu At first I thought maybe one of our 35 imap servers was having issues sending data, but all individual servers show this patters. Here is a bunch of individual servers: http://grab.by/dReC

I'm in process of moving away from Cyrus to Dovecot. I have my own authentication daemon working fine.

Hey all, just wondering who here is running the director service in a larger environment. I just switched our whole production setup to the director and am quite pleased with the result. We're doing a peak of about 25000 tot 30000 concurrent sessions on 3 servers. But ive shut 1 server down a couple of days ago to see what would happen and 2 servers carried the load easily. (16 CPU, 24GB

http://dovecot.org/test/ - Lots of fixes for mmap_disable = yes. It finally seems to be working pretty well. - POP3 idle timeouts changed to 10min I just wrote a simple stress test tool for IMAP and I've had one for POP3 for some months. The IMAP stress test was very helpful in finding out the bugs I fixed today. If anyone wants to try them, they're in: http://dovecot.org/tools/

I noticed 2 minor things with the director. 1) if I start 2 directors, but in 1 of them I dont add the other as a director_servers, they both start spamming the logfiles really really fast. It seems there is no backoff mechanism in the protocol between directors. 2) user mail server ip expire time cor 194.109.26.171 2010-09-02 14:32:13

Hi all, if I give the following command in test32: A004 UID SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-1 ALL TEXT {4} Test The response is: * SEARCH A004 OK Search completed. If I say: A004 UID SEARCH CHARSET ISO-8859-1 ALL FROM {4} Test The response is: * SEARCH 217 350 A004 OK Search completed. The RFC says that 'TEXT' is supposed to result in a list of messages where the search string is in

Is it possible somehow to configure a fallback for a failed proxy? I am using sql based proxying through dovecot, but it would be nice if you can fallback to another host if the proxy destination server is down. High availability and all.. Regards, Cor

Hi, ever since i switched a few servers to 1.1RC4 im finding control dirs with the wrong permissions: 80023615 8 drw------- 2 xxxxxxx user 4096 Apr 23 09:46 ./a/an/xxxxxxx/INBOX/.INBOX.Maatschappijen When dovecot then wants to write a file inside, it gets a permission denied. Cor

Is there a specific order in which one has to add servers to director_mail_servers, Let's say I have 20 loadbalanced director servers (I dont, but for arguments sake). I want to add 5 servers to director_mail_servers. If I do this by restarting each director server 1 by 1 with an updated conf, it seems the 5 new servers dont get added. Or at least I dont get what makes it work eventually.

Hey all, has anyone ever tried turning on the trash plugin when the directory is already over quota? I see some messages being deleted, but it seems it just deletes enough to fit the new email, not enough to go below quota. Example: . getquotaroot "Spam" * QUOTAROOT "Spam" "User quota" "Spam Quota" * QUOTA "User quota" (STORAGE 591036 5242880) *

Ive been getting a LOT of these errors since 1.1.2: So far ive seen this with 1800 customers, and we're getting active complaints about errors in imap clients. When I check the users log I always see this error.. This always happens with COPY commands in Squirrelmail. Sep 2 20:09:35 userimap4.xs4all.nl dovecot: IMAP(xxxxxxx):

Hi all, im testing dovecot as a replacement imap server and noticed 2 problems in 0.99.10.5. if you use dovecot/pop on an account who's quota is fully used, dovecot will ungracefully stop. This will only happen when the account is first accessed by dovecot (for instance, when offering IMAP to an existing userbase using dovecot, or when the index files have inadvertently been deleted). +OK
