similar to: Multiple Mailstores using 1.0alpha4

Hi all, I'm at the stage of planning our new mail system and am evaluating dovecot for it. For large mailstore setups, it makes sense to split maildirs across many directories. I see that setting default_mail_env to something like maildir:/var/imap/domain/%1d/%d/%1u/user/%u/ would create almost identical on-disk layout as multidomain cyrus setup. Now, as dovecot does not have its own

Hi, we've found a weird bug (?) in Dovecot 1.1.11. Since day and age we've been running dovecot for our student mailserver, getting the location of the mailbox from a LDAP directory. We allow login and LDA with both full mail address and an internal username, so the mailbox directory is based on a LDAP attribute user_attrs =

Hi All, I have dsync mirror command working between a standalone dovecot server and a backend mailstore in a Dovecot Director setup.?? Is it safe to do the dsync directly to the backend mailstore in this setup? It doesn't seem to work via the director proxy. Thanks Murray

HI All, We have a couple of dovecot director proxies and six backed mailstores each accessing mailboxes stored on five NFSv4 filsystems with about 1TB of mail on each in maildir format.? We have about 800 max users on each mailstore at peak times and performance appears to starting to degrade at these times.? The mailstores are pretty recent hardware with 64GB of RAM and 24 cores.?? The NFS

I have a Windoze-only client who wants to move their mail hosting from godaddy.com hosting to an in-house system. I'm pitching Linux as an alternative to Exchange, and trying to set up a demonstration system for them. While a long-time Linux user, my server admin experience has been in setting up front-ends (mostly Apache-based web interfaces) for the embedded systems I specialize in.

Having > 10 TByte mailstore filesystem-checks takes too much time. At the moment we have four different partitions, but I don't like to set symlinks or LDAP-flags to sort customers and their domains to there individual mount-point. I'd like to work with mdbox:/mail/%d/%n to calculate the path automatically. How do you handle >> 10 TB mailstore? I'm very interested in the

Hi all. We've just migrated our back-end NFS mailstore from FC1 systems to CentOS4 and are experiencing problems/delays with vpopmail and user Maildirs. IMAP is fine, it's just POP access that causes us problems. Now, NFS mounts successfully, the clients can see /home/vpopmail and serve content as we would expect. IMAP works perfectly and sees new messages as soon as they're

Hi, I would like to try implementing user specific default_mail_env's as described here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/moin.cgi/MailLocation using the LDAP attribute 'mailLocation'. However, I have been unable to find any LDAP schema which contains mailLocation. What schema is this attribute part of? Thanks, Jason Pepas

Hello, I'd like to find a function in the sourcecode which enables me to get the chroot-path of the mailstore, so I can concatenate it with the result of mail_storage_get_mailbox_path to get the full path of a mailbox within the filesystem. Does such a function exist? Who can help me? Thanks in advance. Stefan -- SIEGNETZ.IT GmbH { w3o-services } Schneppenkauten 1a D-57076 Siegen

I am trying to use dovecot. I've got a GFS2 shared volume on two servers with dovecot running on both. On one server at a time, it works. The test I am trying is to attach two mail programs (MUA) via IMAPS (Thunderbird and Evolution as it happens). I've attached one mail program to each IMAPS server. I am trying to move emails around in one program (from folder to folder), and then

I'm running beta7 on two machines, with maildir on NFS. I have lockd running on all machines. I've found that Dovecot is highly unstable with NFS when accessing a mailbox on more than one machine at the same time. Both dovecot machines have: mmap_disable = yes lock_method = fcntl NFS is version 3, exported from a third linux machine. All machines are running 2.6.9 kernel. Any ideas

Hello, I have recently changed imap from Courier-imap to dovecot because of serial problems with courier-imap, I have being forced to do it very quickly... and without extensives tests. I have 3 mails servers (freebsd based) behind a load balancer and a nfs mailstore on a netapp. On my first tests I have setup the index into some nfs shared mount, but it seems that some imap clients are

I'm using roundcube webmail managesieve plugin. Webmail can login managesieve to a specific mailstore successfully without proxying.

Hi All, We are using Dovecot in a Director setup with two director proxies, six backend mailstores, mailbox storage in NFS, and user accounts stored in LDAP.?? Currently we have five NFS filesystems on EMC VNX storage which are all mounted on each of the six backend mailstores.?? At the moment all users could be directed to any of the six mailstores.? We have a group of users with very large

Hello, Here is an issue. I am trying to make dovecot work with sendmail If I use the default conf file (default_mail_env = ) then the inbox is the file /var/mail/user and a mail folder is created in /home/user directory where it stores all additional imap folders. The problem with this is that I can?t have subfolders. If I edit dovecot.conf file and enter default_mail_env =

Hi, We're using dovecot to provide pop3 for a number of mailboxes. The setup is pretty simple: Each user / domain has a mailstore in /data/mailstore/<domain>/<user>/Maildir (backed by NFS). Passwords are in simple passwd-file format in the top level domain directory eg: # cat /data/mailstore/foo.com/.passwd user:{plain}password The passdb setup looks like this. passdb {

Hi, I am using dovecot 1.0.10 and pysieved, in a master/slave cluster with ldap (auth_bind=yes). For conceptuals reasons, i would like to keep on the same partition the mailstore + sieve scripts.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, last Thursday I upgraded a samba installation from 2.2.12 to 3.0.14a. Everything went fine with the debian packages. But... All roaming profiles are registry hacked to place the OE mailstore onto the home drive and this worked fine for the last two years. Now after the upgrade all of my users complain about corrupt dbx files. Can anyone tell
