similar to: rc1: Questions about ssl-build-param!!??

Hi, I am stuck at rc13 because rc14 and rc15 have both failed to keep up with imap connections on my (slow old) system. I have the problem where if a lot of people check their email at once (like at the top of the hour) then my load goes way up and things slow to a crawl. My setup: Solaris 10 on an E220R, mbox format, imap and imaps only. I also use "login_process_per_connection =

Help, new to dovecot... I want to get some output from my test sessions to confirm that SSL pop and imap are working. How does one get debug output from dovecot? How does one see that dovecot is using SSL in a transaction? I configured dovecot 0.99.13 with: CC=gcc CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/dovecot --with-ssl=openssl \

Help! I just noticed this error this morning, we have been getting a lot of these in rc28 and rc29, not in rc27 or before: Apr 6 07:22:52 karst dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(jaearick): mbox file /var/mail/j/jaearick was modified while we were syncing, check your locking settings Pine coughed up an internal error, no core dump, and dovecot basically doubled the size of my mailbox by

Good Morning, I have a Sun E220R I am building as a replacement for an Ultra2. The OS is Solaris 2.7, samba version is 2.2.2. As a test box I named the E220R 'tiamat'. The older U2 is 'terra'. Tiamat had samba running happily on it. Last night I tested the switch over by using /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig on tiamat. This strips the system id, hostname, IP address. I then reconfigured

Timo, I see where at least one other person reported this, but here goes. I went from rc24 to rc25 this morning, and I got an assert and core from my own mailbox withing five minutes: Mar 2 06:52:26 karst dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(jaearick): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 408: assertion failed: (need_space == (uoff_t)-mails[idx].space) Mar 2 06:52:26 karst dovecot: [ID 107833

Gang, For those who asked about making a Solaris system a Kerberos client to Active Directory, the magic document to have is: http://www.connectathon.org/seam1.0/files/c0101.htm See the section "How to Configure a SEAM Client Using a Windows 2000 KDC". SEAM was Sun's Kerberos client stuff in Solaris 8; it is just there as part of Solaris 9 and 10. These instructions apply if

Hi, After searching gmane.mail.imap.dovecot on the topic, and wiki.dovecot.org, I'm still clueless on how to use RFC 2087 quotas in dovecot with the quota plugin. How come no wiki doc? My setup: Solaris 9, mbox format. Both the filesystem for INBOXes (/var/mail) and the user's home directories have filesystem-based quotas imposed. For example: % quota -v joeblow Disk quotas for

Timo, Attached is gdb information from core dumps related to the following assert in test-80: IMAP(username): file mbox-sync-update.c: line 442 (mbox_sync_update_header_from): assertion failed: (ctx->mail.uid == 0 || ctx->mail.uid_broken || ctx->mail.uid == mail->uid) My setup: Solaris 9, mbox format. test-80 compiled with gcc 4.0.1 using the following configure options: CC=gcc

Hi, I've been running 1.0alpha1 in production since August 18, and got my first assert and core yesterday. Otherwise it has been running flawlessly. My setup: Sun E220R, Solaris 9, compiled dovecot with gcc 4.0.1, configured dovecot like so: #!/usr/bin/sh VERSION=1.0-alpha1 CC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure

Hi, i have 2 dovecot imap server running on solaris 10 The primary server with dovecot 1.0.alpha4 is running with best performance on Sun Sparc E4k5 with 8x 450MHz The secondary with rc10 has ugly performanceproblems on Sun E450 wth 4x 450MHz. Every new imap process takes permanent 25% cpu usage List the folder and fetch message are both slowy! Both servers are configred with ldap backend

Help... Dovecot 1.0alpha1 hung up today with nothing working and the following spewing to my syslog: pipe() failed: Too many open files My setup: Solaris 9, just using imap, mbox format. The various "max" settings in dovecot.conf use the defaults. Suggestions on what to change in fovecot.conf to keep this from happening? Jeff Earickson Colby College

Hi, My setup: Solaris 9, /var/mail is NFS mounted from another Solaris 9 box, home directories and dovecot index stuff is on local ufs filesystems. I upgraded from alpha4 to a5 about 36 hours ago. Dovecot is configured like so during the build: VERSION=1.0.alpha5 CC=gcc CFLAGS="-g -O" CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/openssl/lib \ ./configure

Anyone running Dovecot on Solaris, requiring only SSL connections, and servicing thousands of simultaneous users? Our past attempts to do so have failed due to dovecot-auth using up all 256 of its file descriptors. I say 256 since we are limited to that by the 32-bit libraries. We are looking at either compiling Dovecot in 64-bit and letting dovecot-auth file descriptors accumulate (not ideal),

Hi, Could you say a few words about Dovecot and POP/IMAP to an NFS mounted filesystem? I thought I saw on the dovecot webpage that NFS is "no way" with 0.99 and "maybe" with 1.x. I was looking for the FAQ and couldn't find it. My setup is like so: My mail server is a Solaris 9 system, running sendmail/procmail, and qpopper POP. Mail is stored in mbox format. The

Hi All, We're having some problems using Samba and supposedly "standalone" rogue NT servers on one of our network domains. When an authenticated samba-served NT domain user on a client machine tries to access a share on a non BDC/PDC NT server that it part of the same samba domain, the standalone NT server sends it a message saying "Your logon time at NTDOMAIN has

I'm running Solaris 9 Sparc with Dovecot alpha 5 and using maildir format.. I noticed in the log file the following error: dovecot: Dec 20 15:54:18 Error: imap(xxxxxxxx): open(/export/home/xxxxxxxx/mail/.Sent Messages/cur/1135013649.002916.mbox:2,Sab) failed: Too many open files I called the guy and asked him what he was doing... synching his folders. It hung for a while but finally

Hi, I've been lurking on the list since Spring, planning to replace UW-IMAP with dovecot 1.0 sometime this summer. The recent thread on "1.0" has not given me a good feeling about seeing it before summer's end. So I wonder if I should use dovecot-1.0-test-xx code or dovecot-stable-[date] code (which seems to change every day, how stable is that???). This is confusing,

Timo, After installing beta8 on Solaris 10 sparc and starting it for the first time, I noticed this in my syslog: May 14 19:35:45 emerald dovecot: [ID 475045 mail.info] Dovecot v1.0.beta8 starting up May 14 19:35:47 emerald dovecot: [ID 536776 mail.error] stat(~) failed: No such file or directory The only appearance of the tilde (~) in my dovecot.conf is here: default_mail_env =

Help! Our students are back and they are pounding my dovecot server to death (ie "Login process died too early - shutting down" or "too many open files" type crash). I've had my third crash today. My setup: Solaris 10, imap and imaps, 3K users coming in via horde webmail. My current connection settings are: login_max_processes_count = 2048 login_max_connections = 4096

Timo, This might be a bit vague, but I have noticed that rc19 seems to have broken the read/unread/reply flags in imap. My officemate has had problems with messages that are read and marked as read then mysteriously get remarked as unread the next time email is checked. I've had problems where I reply to a message and it does not get marked as "answered". We didn't see this
