Hello, I experimented with dovecot the whole evening yesterday and the mailserver worked fine since there haven't been that much users connecting to it. I'm using dovecot 1.0.alpha5 as pop3 and pop3s server. The maildirs are mounted through NFS and since there is no nfslockd running I disabled mmap in the config and told dovecot to use dotlock. Also I experienced, that dovecot was

Hello, today our dovecot imap server died. The following message appeared in the logfile: dovecot: Mar 23 07:00:58 Error: pipe() failed: Too many open files We have one dovecot instance for pop3 and one for imap, so while the pop3-service was still available, the imap-service was not running any more. I've seen a lots of users keeping there imap-connections idle for hours, often more

Hello, from a server where neither a rsync daemon nor ssh is running I'm trying to backup the whole data with ftp. So my idea was to call rsync like this: rsync -v -a 'ftp://1.2.3.4/' my_folder But this gives me: ftp: unknown host ftp: unknown host ftp: Unknown host rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code

Hello, I found a posting on the mailing list from 2008 "Adding new storage backend to Dovecot" while searching for POP3 and IMAP servers, that allow to use a NoSQL backend rather than a traditional file system. The problem with traditional filesystems is, that they are very limited. You cannot easily extend it, even with RAID 10 all messages may be lost due to a RAID controller

Hello, for some reason dovecot doesn't start up. I'm using the default values in dovecot.conf, just changed the login_user, disabled ssl and ran sbin/dovecot, but nothing happens. No error's, I can't find any logs, no daemon anywhere, no ports bound... I don't know where to look and whatfor. I compiled with --enable-debug, but there's no extra output. Any ideas?

Hello, I noticed, that whenever I install a package on CentOS 5.x, rpms for multiple architectures are installed: yum install sqlite-devel Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: centos.intergenia.de * updates: centos.intergenia.de * addons: centos.intergenia.de * extras: centos.intergenia.de base 100%

Hello, I've heard of both and I already tested and installed both, but I'm not sure which one is better, since both just seem to work and I can't see a difference, except from the point how it's set up and configured. Where are the drawbacks of each one, where are the benefits? I also tested cyrus before, but cyrus is not working well with maildirs. I'm not that into

Hello, as our mail server load increases every day, I plan to scale the single mailserver in differnt units: 1x big storage server for all mailboxes, folders exported through NFS 1x smtp for mail-in (queue local, messages on storage server) 1x pop3/imap to retrieve the messages (config local, messages on storage server) Since we're using maildir only, there's no problem to get the

Hi! I've just tried to build NanoBSD from 7.0-STABLE sources with MODULES_WITH_WORLD knob enabled and it failed. Note that NanoBSD uses make -j3 by default and I have dualcore system. ===> sys/modules/nfslockd (depend) @ -> /usr/local/src/sys machine -> /usr/local/src/sys/i386/include echo "#define INET6 1" > opt_inet6.h awk -f @/tools/vnode_if.awk @/kern/vnode_if.src

Hello, I'm a bit afraid of users, the might slow down the server because of search requests to the imap-server on very large mailboxes. Even with a performant index, this could cause a lot of cpu and i/o-load. Is it possible to include the login-name in the imap process, so that a "ps ax" doesn't just give "imap", but e.g. "imap test at example.com"?

Hello, is it possible the change the folder separator from "." to "/"? Users shall be able to have folders like "Junk/aol.com/*". Regards Marten

Hi, I'm working with dovecot 1.0.beta2 for pop3 only and have set index=memory, so no indizes are created on the disk. pop3_uidl_format is set to %f. The maildirs are located on an nfs-share. So generally, this setup is very similar to what qmail-popup and qmail-pop3d does. However, everytime I'm switching from qmail-pop3d to dovecot, the system load increases from less than 2 to more

Hello, I'm trying to do backups with rsync through ssh. This is what I wrote yet: src="/vrmd/webserver/" today=`date +%F` #link_dest="root@vm2:/vrmd/admin/backup/web/2004-09-05" link_dest="../2004-09-05" dest="root@vm2:/vrmd/admin/backup/web/$today" rsync -av -e ssh --delete --link-dest=$link_dest $src $dest in 2004-09-05 (on the dest-server) is the

Hello, I'm currently experiencing, that 0 messages are shown at the pop3-prompt: list +OK 0 messages: . But the cur-folder containes 74 files. How can this happen? Why aren't they removed physically? Regards Marten Lehmann

Is dovecot still considered unreliable when combined with NFS? Is this true for mbox only, or Maildir as well? If dovecot Is still considered unreliable with NFS, how about having a dovecot mode that would chain into procmail for delivery, so that dovecot doesn't (necessarily) have to reinvent that wheel? Thanks!

Hello, I'd really like to define the finale libexecdir and localstatedir through the configure-script. But the Makefiles are rewriting them. Not $libexecdir is used, but $pkglibexecdir. And $pkglibexecdir is always defined as $libexecdir/dovecot. But I don't want this trailing "/dovecot". Same with localstatedir. I want dovecot to use a certain path. But to this path, a

I have a few clients that have more than one user in the same mailbox. I have my setup using fctrl for mailbox and index locking. My mail is stored on a network file system (gluster) and my indexes are stored on the local drive. I have a few issues: - My users mailboxes have issues where messages will be mixed up (you go to open a message and it gets a different message) - messages will

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

Hello, I'm using dovecot-1.0.beta3. When I shutdown dovecot (kill -term on the master-pid) the main process disappears, but all the child processes still remain. Why doesn't dovecot kill them as I shutdown the master-process? When I shutdown mysql, all child processes will be shutdown, too. When I shutdown apache, all child processes willbe shutdown, too. Thats what I expect on every
