similar to: dovecot LDA and pop3 session lock question

Dear Colleagues, I use exim's appendfile transport, procmail and a local mutt on my system, they all (to my knowledge) use lockfiles when working with mboxes. However, `doveconf | grep lock` says dotlock_use_excl = yes lock_method = fcntl mail_max_lock_timeout = 0 mbox_dotlock_change_timeout = 2 mins mbox_lock_timeout = 5 mins mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = dotlock fcntl

Hi, there! Well, I am new to dovecot, so please be patient with me: I have a virtual server and want to setup simple mail delivery. postfix, saslauthd and dovecot basically work fine. The only open issue is, that (I guess) dovecot doesn't remove the mail when it's retrieved via pop3 from the server. It keeps sending me the same emails again and again. (The mail client (Thunderbird) is

Hi, So I've been through google and the dovecot source and have not yet found a reasonable explanation for the 'Timeout while waiting for lock' error. My customer's configuration is utilizes mbox with the following mbox configs. [snip] pop3_lock_session = yes mbox_read_locks = fcntl mbox_write_locks = fcntl mbox_lock_timeout = 300 [/snip] I see from the source that this error

Hi guys, How can I modify the timeout value for the pop3_lock_session ? I'd like it to be much bigger.

Greetings to all. It's my first post to the list. We just completed a migration from qpopper to dovecot for our IMAP and POP3 services. We have a rather large mail environment (we are the biggest provider in Greece). So, here are the details: - Keep getting errors like these in our production environment Jul 22 00:18:21 pop01 dovecot: master: Error: service(pop3): child 4078 killed with

This is with respect to an error that I am facing in dovecot. The error is that is seen in logs is "Feb 23 00:04:46 mailblade1 dovecot: IMAP(USERNAME): /indexes/USERNAME/.INBOX/dovecot-uidlist: Duplicate file entry at line 7: 1234776125.M559298P3988.s2o.qlc.co.in,S=13111,W=13470:2, (uid 94277 -> 97805)" This error is seen for multiple users. Once this error occurs for a user, the

While investigating Dovecot's deliver with Postfix, I encountered some behaviors making me wonder whether I really understand the purpose of that binary. So, if you allow... This is from Postfix' main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -e -n This is my quick setup for Dovecot: # 1.2.rc4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 9.7.0

Hello, I'm preparing to convert from qpopper + UW-IMAP to dovecot. So far testing has gone very well. One problem we haven't figured out is that long-running POP sessions keep the mailbox locked, so that the MDA times out while trying to deliver. We're using "maildrop" as our MDA if that matters. We don't see this issue for dovecot IMAP sessions. During long-running

Hi, I am using dovecot deliver as lda for sendmail. My problem is that when a user account is over quota, deliver program sends message in the logs, but the message is not bounced back to sender informing that their is disk quota problem at the recipient side. Further message remains in the mail queue. Details are below. Plz suggest how to figure out the problems: 1. Message should be

A summary of answers I got to the questiosn I posed. > Is there a reason I should prefer LMTP over LDA for local delivery? Thanks for the responses I received. The benefits reported were more/better information logging, and service isolation. Also, one significant advantage not mentioned for LMTP was that one delivery failure to multiple recipients can be disambiguated; LDA can only return

Hello In my installation the disable_plaintext_auth does not appear to take effect. I can see that the value is correct using doveconf -a but it doesn't change anything. Whenever attempting to log in using IMAP I get this: * BAD [ALERT] Plaintext authentication not allowed without SSL/TLS, but your client did it anyway. If anyone was listening, the password was exposed. ls NO

With mdbox, what does dovecot lock when "pop3_lock_session(pop3): yes"? Specifically, I'm wondering if Dovecot LDA is able to deliver mail when a session is locked, if using mdbox, or if it will tempfail until the session is unlocked? Thanks, Ken -- Ken Anderson Pacific Internet - http://www.pacific.net

Hi All, Our test users re-download the mail they've left on the server when they switch from Qpopper to Dovecot. Qpopper includes the X-UIDL header - X-UIDL: X8V"!E)<"!58?"!"9C"! - on read messages.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, Dovecot v1.0.0 if there is no Return-Path in the message and Deliver cannot deliver the message, no DSN is sent _and_ the MTA is returned 0 (aka success) return code, which leads to mail loss.

Before switching to dovecot deliver for all local deliveries, I'm calling deliver from maildrop (yes, don't laugh).

Hello: I'm trying to get dovecot-lda to work with sendmail on a CentOS 7 server. I've tried following the instructions at the wiki, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail, by adding the lines to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, recompiling to /etc/mail/sendmail.cf and restarting sendmail -- the process for any sendmail config change. However it is still not working and in the maillog, it

Hello, I want to make final delivery for some of my mailboxes using dovecot-lda, since I'm interested in using sieve. My usual MDA which is called from postfix is and will be maildrop. First try was to call dovecot-lda from command line: /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d spam at xgm.de < testmail which gave return code 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL) and logged: dovecot: auth-worker(3533):

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've put together an always tempfail & sendmail-like DSN report back patch.
