Hi, somebody have an idea to make dovecot working safly with nfs without lockd ? It seems working without problem except for files ".customflags" and ".subscriptions" is exists a patch for use the dotlock locking method for these files ? Thanks, Cyril Feraudet

Hi, I need to place a maildir storage on a NFS filesystem, so I set up the config like this: mmap_disable = yes mail_nfs_storage = yes mail_nfs_index = yes mail_fsync = always lock_method = dotlock (also tried fcntl - local lockd is running, no success, now using dotlock, to be sure while debugging) The problem is that Dovecot (2.2.9/2.2.10 - the relevant code in mail-index.c is the same) logs

Greetings: My outlook users accessing mail via dovecot's imaps have been consistantly getting locked out of their email. It happens about once a week per outlook user. It appears to happen when the are cliking on emails with attachments. When this happens, there are two imap deamons running for that user. I kill both deamons and things start working again. Squirrelmail, thunderbird and

Hello, I'm using dovecot as a mail relay so that I can back up my providers IMAP mail locally. I'm impressed how easy this was to set up, but I'm having a quirk that I would like help with, if possible. There are many weak links in my set-up chain, if you will, but I think I've narrowed the problem. I'll describe my set-up anyway. I'm running dovecot 1.1.4 on ubuntu

I have two servers pointing to an NFS mounted mail spool with dovecot.? Since I recently switched from using Dovecot v1.X, I have been experiencing high CPU use with the two Dovecot servers. I am not certain why they are not well behaved.? Here is the configuration information. This configuration is currently running at a load average of 17. /usr/sbin/dovecot -n # 2.1.15:

Folks - I've been using Dovecot for some time now, but have only recently upgraded to 1.0alpha4. I'm struggling to get my configuration right and I'm seeing some truly bizarre issues. My Setup: Solaris 2.8 / Thunderbird / Procmail / Dovecot 1.0alpha4 My mail setup is only for me, so Dovecot runs at an odd port and under my userID. All my mail is in my home directory, which

I have, but I will be happy to review it once again. On 12/18/18 2:14 PM, admin wrote: > Am Dienstag, den 18.12.2018, 14:06 -0500 schrieb Albert E.

Hello - I know I am not the only one that will be trying, or has tried this before. Here are my questions! NFS Clients, multiple servers running dovecot - linux with 2.6 kernel with relevant patches (utime, etc) Backend - netapp filer End users - various clients all running IMAP It looks like 1.0.beta8 is definately the way to go. I have a few questions with regards to setup. Is it now

Hi all, I've a problem with prefetch userdb function on 1.0.alpha4 ?

Hi there, I've been seeing this error in our logs quite frequently on our nfs storage (v3): 2008-11-10T13:24:26+00:00 mail8 dovecot: IMAP(XXX at YYY.com): nfs_flush_fcntl: fcntl(/var/spool/mail/XXX/Maildir/dovecot.index.cache, F_RDLCK) failed: No locks available Which is because we don't run lockd on our servers. Why is dovecot trying to use fcntl() ? I explicitly set it to use dotlocks

Hi all, I've 4 servers with dovecot and ldap authentication behind a loadbalancer (Alteon). To connect to dovecot, client need to use a vip of the loadbalancer.

Hi all, for one of my developpements, I need to be able to connect an IMAP server with a login but without password. (I use dovecot 1.0.beta3) For the userdb, I use "userdb static" : userdb static { args = uid=114 gid=114 home=/mydev/mail/%u } But I don't know how to allow IMAP connection by my application without password. I won't connect to a database, having a

I'm running Dovecot 1.1 RC1. I believe I've done all the due diligence for making things working correctly over nfs. But I run into locking issues if I run over nfs. procmail is doing the delivery over nfs. uw-imap was ruining over nfs. dovecot is fine if its on the nfs server (i.e. it has local access to the disk, no nfs) I run into lock deadlocks if I run dovecot over nfs Users

Yes, multiple imap servers using one shared nfs storage. With the same config on 2.2.13 the public interface traffic was similar to the storage interface, around 100 mbps. After we switch to 2.2.27 the storage interface traffic jumped 10 times while the public interface stayed the same. This make us thinking that something is wrong and each time a user logs in the whole Inbox content is read

I've recently upgraded to 1.0.10 in hopes that this problem would go away but no luck. I've got some users at my company with large inboxes on maildir (say 22,000 messages). Their mailboxes are hosted on nfs and dovecot is configured to do dotlocking. Still I see messages like this continually in the logs (sometimes every hour or so): server dovecot: IMAP(user): dotlock

I recently am attempting a mbox to Maildir conversion, initially for a single email address, and then for everyone.

Hello, I am running Dovecot 1.0.5 and seem to have lots of errors in my Dovecot logs.

I need to backup some of the mailboxes on our system. We are currently using mdbox with zlib compression plugin. The backups need to be maildir without compression. How can I accomplish this using dsync? The following just causes each msg file in maildir to be compressed as well. dsync -f -u user1 backup maildir:/var/tmp/user1 While this just causes the dsync to fail while spewing a bunch of
