All, [version: dovecot-0.99.11-4.EL4.src.rpm] We recently experienced an issue that prevented all new IMAP logins from occurring. Although it appears that it was due to running out of available system file descriptors, I'm still not sure what the true root cause was as I can't replicate the same error in our test environment. The system file descriptor max was set at (per `cat

Hi, My laptop runs a local IMAP server so that I'm immune from breaking my mail client, and when playing around with powertop I discovered that Dovecot (in particular imap-login) wakes up every 1000ms and then every 50ms even when no clients are connected. A bit of stracing shows this: gettimeofday({1180875699, 667917}, NULL) = 0 <0.000010> poll([{fd=7,

Hi all, I have a dovecot installation which very suddenly decided to slow to a crawl yesterday after being totally fine for months. IMAP is fine, but POP3 is very painful to use, and frequently times out. here's my config: # 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot_errors info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot_informational ssl_ca_file: /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem ssl_cert_file:

Hi all, I'm pulling my hair out on this problem and wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone else had run across it. I recently restarted my server. There were some network config issues that caused the interfaces not to come back up, but my colo company got those resolved. However, after restart, my IMAPS server has stopped responding to outside requests. I can successfully access

Hi all, When setting auth mechanisms: plain login cram-md5 and only having pam passdb and passwd userdb. dovecot nevers starts and crashes reporting: Feb 29 10:19:41 pitux-clust-op1 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.10 starting up Feb 29 10:19:41 pitux-clust-op1 dovecot: auth(default): CRAM-MD5 mechanism can't be supported with given passdbs Feb 29 10:19:41 pitux-clust-op1 dovecot: Auth process died

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've configured Dovecot v1.0.0 with filesystem quota and to use hardlinks. Latter I use intentionally to save disk space and to achieve that an user can delete mails even if over quota and using the "Delete to Trash" feature. The following happens, when the directory file of .Trash/* fills up and would need to be expanded,

Hello, I'm running an Debian etch box with unstable and ever since the last upgrade to dovecot, I've seen odd things. At times, I would see emails would go missing from the Inbox or other folders, and I couldn't move emails that were moved from the Inbox to another folder back into the Inbox. These have seen gone away since I removed all dovecot.* files and .index* files from my

Hi there, I'm using the latest Thunderbird & Dovecot. I'm trying to setup either pop3s or imaps. The plain versions of the protocols both work fine for me, even with the TLS option selected in Thunderbird. But when I try to use the ssl versions, my client does not negotiate - it just time's out. I have as much logging enabled as possible and the only thing that shows up

I'm trying to get dovecot running on my VPS and the main imap process is receiving a SIGKILL from what I presume to be the Linux Kernel and/or OpenVZ. This happens after I login and my client(s) just sit their idling. The mailbox is empty. I'm not running out of memory. stracing the process doesn't show anything interesting... ... gettimeofday({1233024777, 844804}, {420, 0}) = 0

We use Dovecot on a cluster (10'000 domains, 30'000 account) without any problem with pop/imap. We use Dovecot 1.0 RC10 Now we use virtual transport from postfix for mail delivery. We need the Dovecot LDA for sieve support. We test this solution on some domains with success. But if we change the configuration of all our domains, we have a lots of bounce with this error in postfix

Hello. I've tried to implement dovecot's deliver LDA to my home mailserver. I've run into troubles :) dovecot-deliver.conf: -- snip -- mail = maildir:%h/Maildir:INBOX=maildir:%h/Maildir mbox_read_locks = flock mbox_write_locks = flock -- snip -- when i run: deliver -d bfg < email.txt dovecot delivers message to ~/Maildir/maildir/new It acctually creates "maildir"

Hello, currently I'm working on new ioloop handler which uses epoll(4) API introduced in Linux kernel 2.6. In this API each fd added to fd set by epoll_ctl system call can be accompanied with user supplied data (integer or void pointer). epoll_wait syscall reports arrived events as an array of structures containing event mask and user data. Attached patch replaces fd and condition parameters

I seem to be having a problem compiling on MacOS X Tiger. The errors are as follows: gcc -pipe -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -g -Iinclude -I../include -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -O6 -DASTERISK_VERSION=\"1.0.9\" -DINSTALL_PREFIX=\"\" -DASTETCDIR=\"/etc/asterisk\" -DASTLIBDIR=\"/usr/lib/asterisk\"

Timo, The comments in dovecot-example.conf regarding lock_method for Solaris users needs to note your change. Your changelog says: - Default lock_method changed to flock instead of the old fcntl. Solaris users will need to set it back to fcntl. This makes sure that Dovecot's indexes aren't accidentally used with NFS. But there is no warning about this in the file for Solaris users.

I verified that "default_mail_env" on my dovecot configuration file are "maildir:" correctly prefixed and ... permissions of /var/mail/mydomain and /var/mail/mydomain/myuser are 2755 and owner is root:mail. Dovecot user is member of mail group. I'm sure that isn't an authentication problem. I've tried some days to understand and to find over internet but I've

Dear all, I have compilled and installed Dovecot from sources on Suse 10 using the instruction available on dovecot.org. Unfortunately the instructions to start Dovecot are to obtuse for me! How do I get Dovecot to start at boot up? Thanks in advance for your help, Sander.

Hi The performance issues I noticed on my system/setup with Alpha3 seem to be gone with Alpha4. As soon as I installed it I noticed imap seemed more responsive. Just thought I would let the list know. Regards Daniel
