dovecot, procmail and deliver
(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

RC7: its issues or mine?
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

1.0rc8 status report
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

netapp/maildir/dovecot performance
We are seeing some poor performance recently that is focused around
users with large mailboxes (100,000 message /INBOX, 80,000 message
subfolders, etc).
The performance problem manifests as very high system% utilization -
basically iowait for NFS.
There are two imap servers with plenty of horsepower/memory/etc. They
are connected to a 3050c cluster via gig-e. Here are the mount
options:

Corrupted index cache file dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size
Hi,
Our dovecot setup consists of two hosts running dovecot-1.0.beta9 with
Maildir/indices stored on NFS(noac,actimeo=0 used).
I am seeing these messages at times - but no real problems on the client
side. Is this something to worry about?

Mount options and NFS: just checking...
Greetings -
I'm now in the last couple of weeks before going live with Dovecot
(v1.0.3) on our revamped IMAP service. I'd like to double-check
about the best mount options to use; could someone advise, please?
I have three separate directory trees for the message store, the
control files and the index files. These are arranged as follows:

simultaneous access to folder
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.

RC7: BUG! and patch [Was: Re: rc7 bug? [Was: deliver LDA and INBOX location] (fwd)] (fwd)
Could someone confirm, please, that this bug report and its proposed fix
are being checked?
1. Is my analysis (message below) about right?
2. Is my proposed patch (attached) about right?
3. Is this being addressed for "rc8" (or whatever) and its successors?
Many thanks.

Newbie NFS question
As is usually the case, I'm not sure enough of what the DC docs are
referring to; there are some implicit info assumptions that I, the
Newbie, miss...
Anyway, here is my situation
Dovecot is to run on one machine only, its index files are stored in on
a separate, non-quotaed, not NFS filesystem.
INBOX and folder filesystems (all mbox format) are native to this
machine and are NFS

rc7 bug? [Was: deliver LDA and INBOX location] (fwd)
Anyone had any thoughts on the item below?
If the problem is with my config, I'd like to be guided towards how I
might resolve it.
If it is a bug in rc7, it would be good to fix it, and I'd be happy to
beta-test.

deliver LDA and INBOX location
(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

pop3_lock_session and NFS
Hello,
I need an advice about POP3 and NFS with Dovecot 1.0 (as 1.1 is still
tagged beta) .
I currently have all messages and indexes under a NFS partition . I
thus turned cache off using actimeo=0 .
Of course, my current architecture does not allow me to keep the same
user on the same dovecot server.
Now, I have some NFS issues with high percentages of getattr() .

files not showing up in an nfs mounted filesysetm in timely manner
We have and nfs mount from a windows pc nfs server. A file is created
on the server, but can take as long as 50 seconds to become available on
the client.
We are running Centos 5.2 (final), using NFS version 3. Is there
anything we can do from the client side to see the file more quickly.
The files are very small, usually about 1k

fix: LDA logging
Timo:
As discussed over the last couple of days. Please could the attached
patch be applied to "deliver.c" so that it can log (syslog etc.) final
delivery into the destination mailbox.
This completes a hitherto missing part in logging an email's progress; it
is useful (for example) to diagnose "my email wasn't delivered" problems.
Thanks.

bug with rsh/ssh connections
(Using rc7 code)
There seems to be a bug in rsh/ssh-style connections.
For reference, on a normal imap connection (port 143, 993, etc.) things
are OK. The imap session ends (from a client-end command "a logout") thus:

* BYE Logging out
a OK Logout completed.
Connection closed by foreign host.
