similar to: dovecot 1 for production? which one?

Help! Our students are back and they are pounding my dovecot server to death (ie "Login process died too early - shutting down" or "too many open files" type crash). I've had my third crash today. My setup: Solaris 10, imap and imaps, 3K users coming in via horde webmail. My current connection settings are: login_max_processes_count = 2048 login_max_connections = 4096

Help! I just noticed this error this morning, we have been getting a lot of these in rc28 and rc29, not in rc27 or before: Apr 6 07:22:52 karst dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(jaearick): mbox file /var/mail/j/jaearick was modified while we were syncing, check your locking settings Pine coughed up an internal error, no core dump, and dovecot basically doubled the size of my mailbox by

Gang, For those who asked about making a Solaris system a Kerberos client to Active Directory, the magic document to have is: http://www.connectathon.org/seam1.0/files/c0101.htm See the section "How to Configure a SEAM Client Using a Windows 2000 KDC". SEAM was Sun's Kerberos client stuff in Solaris 8; it is just there as part of Solaris 9 and 10. These instructions apply if

Timo, This might be a bit vague, but I have noticed that rc19 seems to have broken the read/unread/reply flags in imap. My officemate has had problems with messages that are read and marked as read then mysteriously get remarked as unread the next time email is checked. I've had problems where I reply to a message and it does not get marked as "answered". We didn't see this

Help, new to dovecot... I want to get some output from my test sessions to confirm that SSL pop and imap are working. How does one get debug output from dovecot? How does one see that dovecot is using SSL in a transaction? I configured dovecot 0.99.13 with: CC=gcc CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl \

Hi, After searching gmane.mail.imap.dovecot on the topic, and wiki.dovecot.org, I'm still clueless on how to use RFC 2087 quotas in dovecot with the quota plugin. How come no wiki doc? My setup: Solaris 9, mbox format. Both the filesystem for INBOXes (/var/mail) and the user's home directories have filesystem-based quotas imposed. For example: % quota -v joeblow Disk quotas for

Timo, Attached is gdb information from core dumps related to the following assert in test-80: IMAP(username): file mbox-sync-update.c: line 442 (mbox_sync_update_header_from): assertion failed: (ctx->mail.uid == 0 || ctx->mail.uid_broken || ctx->mail.uid == mail->uid) My setup: Solaris 9, mbox format. test-80 compiled with gcc 4.0.1 using the following configure options: CC=gcc

First off, sorry if this has been asked before - I have looked, honest. Is it possible to get dovecot to authenticate users against active directory, treating the AD as a plain ldap server? I have this working with cyrus saslauthd. Currentlt I get a long delay (30 seconds or so) then * BYE Disconnected for inactivity. All I get in the maillog is imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity

Help... Dovecot 1.0alpha1 hung up today with nothing working and the following spewing to my syslog: pipe() failed: Too many open files My setup: Solaris 9, just using imap, mbox format. The various "max" settings in dovecot.conf use the defaults. Suggestions on what to change in fovecot.conf to keep this from happening? Jeff Earickson Colby College

Hi, My setup: Solaris 9, /var/mail is NFS mounted from another Solaris 9 box, home directories and dovecot index stuff is on local ufs filesystems. I upgraded from alpha4 to a5 about 36 hours ago. Dovecot is configured like so during the build: VERSION=1.0.alpha5 CC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure

Timo, I see where at least one other person reported this, but here goes. I went from rc24 to rc25 this morning, and I got an assert and core from my own mailbox withing five minutes: Mar 2 06:52:26 karst dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(jaearick): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 408: assertion failed: (need_space == (uoff_t)-mails[idx].space) Mar 2 06:52:26 karst dovecot: [ID 107833

Anyone running Dovecot on Solaris, requiring only SSL connections, and servicing thousands of simultaneous users? Our past attempts to do so have failed due to dovecot-auth using up all 256 of its file descriptors. I say 256 since we are limited to that by the 32-bit libraries. We are looking at either compiling Dovecot in 64-bit and letting dovecot-auth file descriptors accumulate (not ideal),

I'm running Solaris 9 Sparc with Dovecot alpha 5 and using maildir format.. I noticed in the log file the following error: dovecot: Dec 20 15:54:18 Error: imap(xxxxxxxx): open(/export/home/xxxxxxxx/mail/.Sent Messages/cur/1135013649.002916.mbox:2,Sab) failed: Too many open files I called the guy and asked him what he was doing... synching his folders. It hung for a while but finally

Hi Timo, Just a quick question: do index files still need removing when upgrading from 1.0-stable (as in the testXX series) or will Dovecot regenerate them automatically? I'm expecting to go with 1.0-stable on Tuesday for my 20,000 users (as that's what I've been testing), but if we see lots of index issues, I may want to upgrade to alpha1 (or later) fairly soon afterwards and it

Change it to avoid log throttling with mail_log plugin. - Changing message flags

Hi: I'm running dovecot on a Fedora 3 box and would like to be able to make a TLS connection to it with my Pegasus Mail program running on my Winblows machine. Does anybody know if it is possible? If it is I could really use some help configuring my dovecot. I have tried for several days but I really don't know what I'm doing and need a direction to start. Thanks, -- Knute

Hey again folks ;-) Seems my auth is working afterall when I telnet to the IMAP port. But darned if I can get it working with Horde web mail. Is anyone out there doing this just first of all to confirm to me that the combination works OK. I don't care so much about shadow auth since apparantly my pam auth is working just fine. thanks, -Alan -- "True Budo is done for the sake of

I'm having an issue with Thunderbird (and Opera) and Dovecot SSL on a Solaris 10. My OS is Solaris 10 6/06 x86 (running in 64-bit mode) using ZFS (disk mirror) as the filesystem for my users. Dovecot version is 1.0rc7 (logs below are from 1.0rc6). First the connection asks if the SSL-certificate should be accepted, accepting it seems to work but then nothing happens. Thunderbird is

If its too hard for them to setup the pop3 catch all, we can probably put some mapping in place to smtp froward mail to their server. This is more complex on our part so would prefer not to do it that way, but its an option and will require not setup on their part other than make sure their server does not accept mail for anyone other than our server. dovecot-request@dovecot.org wrote: >
