A quick status report on how 1.0rc8 behaved in service for a few hours with several hundred simultaneous users, at a site very new to dovecot. Oh, and a question at the end. Summary: Reasonable for a first shot but one significant problem, requiring backing off. Background: We have a long-established UW-IMAP service for a user population of about 20,000 based on a few Linux (Redhat) machines

(Using dovecot 1.0 RC7 on Fedora Core 5) <scene set> Hitherto we have used UW-IMAP on a "farm" of Linux machines mounting NFS from a NetApp. (The UW-IMAP author doesn't like use of NFS, but with careful use of NFS mount arguments ('noac,actimeo=0' etc.) and trying to ensure that all activity for a given user takes place within one machine in the farm, we seem to

We have for many years been a UW-IMAP site, with users having their own traditional, private, mbox-format INBOX and folders: almost (but not quite) no complications of shared or simultaneous access. We have just completed a transparent transition to dovecot (official 1.0.0 release). But we have one residual issue affecting one important user account. UW-IMAP specifically only allows single

Using the trial internal entropy gathering routines Damien so kindly provided, I noticed stuff happening slowly. I think I've traced this to the 'ls -alni /var/mail' taking a long time. Given that this is likely to hurt a few sites similar to mine (large number of users with an NFS-mounted /var/mail directory) is it sensible to put a configure option in to disable this part? I attach

Does "dovecot" have anything similar to the UW IMAP "mailadm" group operation? From near the end of: http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/RELNOTES.html 'Support for SASL authentication identity vs. authorization identity in the IMAP and POP3 servers. If the user indicated by the authentication identity is in the "mailadm" group, he may

(repost gmane message as list member) I need some help with Dovecot-1.0rc2 on Gentoo Linux. My test harness is one Thunderbird-1.5.0.4 client, storage using legacy mbox directories ported over from an old UW-IMAP/sendmail combo running on RHL 8. Config is intended to be passwd/pam, plaintext login allowed (until I migrate everyone to ssl). After this is working, postfix and dspam are to be

I'd need "04" including its leading "0".

(OS: Fedora Core 5; dovecot: 1.0 rc7) On a typical UNIX-like OS, the INBOXes are in "/var/spool/mail/" using the user identifier: so user 'fred' has INBOX "/var/spool/mail/fred". We have a well-established different convention which subdivides this, based on the last two digits of the uid: "/var/spool/mail/12/fred" (for fred's uid as something ending

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

Background: I'm new to dovecot (although with many years Washington IMAP behind me). We're considering migrating from Washington IMAP to dovecot on the main service here, and have just started trying dovecot, using RC7. Washington, IMAP has the usual(-ish) "/var/spool/mail" shared area for the INBOX (trad. UNIX "From " format); a user's folders default to being

(Background: Relatively new to dovecot; looking to do transparent replacement of long-established UW-IMAP on cluster of Linux boxes which NFS-mount a shared "/var/spool/mail".) With rc8, where I had already increased "login_max_processes_count" from default 128 to 1024, we had still hit the issue of too many logins crashing dovecot, so that trial had only lasted a couple of

Yesterday I gave a status report about 10.rc8 in production, which mentioned a problem about "Login process died too early..." Timo suggested a patch for logging error messages. I've applied this. Others suggested increasing "login_max_processes_count". That was already way above our likely maximum, but I've doubled it anyway. Today, I've just repeated the

I am trying to automatize signing of unsigned .rpm files. My repo has at least 50 x 3 packages. But I would have to type numerous passwords for each file. I can not see hot to pass pass phrase to script. rpmsign --resign {--pass=??} <filename from list> ???? Can someone advise me how to do that? Ljubomir

Trying to use R to build an interactive "slide show", to be displayed on a projector. The purpose of the presentation is to show how one could construct a simple graph using R. It is meant as a general overview rather than as detailed instruction. For example, something like the following sequence of commands. At lecture time, I want the interpreter to read these commands one at a

Hello Family, (smd.conf file attached) Having had great success with 2.2.2 and my Linux box and Windows-2000 machines I switched to CUPS and now can't print again having made some slight edits in my smb.conf file (attached) for the change to CUPS. [1] I have to reloaded all the Windows drivers again on the Windows-2000 machines and still get the "Startdoc..." error. [2] The

Hi, is there a way to set multiple selinux attributes to files/directories? I would like to share /var/spool/cups-pdf/SPOOL/, which has 'system_u:object_r:print_spool_t:s0' and would also need 'system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0'. The point is that there will be files accumulating that only need to be deleted, and there might be files users may actually want access to. Sharing

Dear all, I am trying to split a matrix into 2 as efficiently as possible. It is a character matrix: 1 2 3 1 "2-271" "2-367" "1-79" 2 "2-282" "2-378" "1-90" 3 "2-281" "2-377" "1-89" I want to make 2 matrices from this, as succinctly and efficiently as possible. I've tried such
