I am trying to use dovecot. I've got a GFS2 shared volume on two servers with dovecot running on both. On one server at a time, it works. The test I am trying is to attach two mail programs (MUA) via IMAPS (Thunderbird and Evolution as it happens). I've attached one mail program to each IMAPS server. I am trying to move emails around in one program (from folder to folder), and then

I'm running beta7 on two machines, with maildir on NFS. I have lockd running on all machines. I've found that Dovecot is highly unstable with NFS when accessing a mailbox on more than one machine at the same time. Both dovecot machines have: mmap_disable = yes lock_method = fcntl NFS is version 3, exported from a third linux machine. All machines are running 2.6.9 kernel. Any ideas

Hi folks! It looks like Timo nailed down the NFS issues we've been seeing here in last night's CVS build. Anyone running Dovecot in a high-usage environment should check this out. Here are some relevant ChangeLog updates that seem to address the problem: 2006-05-02 11:11 Timo Sirainen <timo.sirainen at movial.fi> * src/lib-storage/index/maildir/: maildir-save.c,

Hi, yesterday I updated my second server from Debian Squeeze to Debian Wheezy. Since todaay I get the followinig errors in my logs: Error-Log: ...

Having > 10 TByte mailstore filesystem-checks takes too much time. At the moment we have four different partitions, but I don't like to set symlinks or LDAP-flags to sort customers and their domains to there individual mount-point. I'd like to work with mdbox:/mail/%d/%n to calculate the path automatically. How do you handle >> 10 TB mailstore? I'm very interested in the

Hi, we've found a weird bug (?) in Dovecot 1.1.11. Since day and age we've been running dovecot for our student mailserver, getting the location of the mailbox from a LDAP directory. We allow login and LDA with both full mail address and an internal username, so the mailbox directory is based on a LDAP attribute user_attrs =

Hi! Have been using Fedora as my dovecot server for some time and am struggling with systemd at every update. Fedora insists on setting ProtectSystem=full in both dovecot.service and postfix.service at every update of the packages. This makes my mailstore which is in /usr/local/var/mail Read-only. And this makes the incoming emails delivered through dovecot-lda disappear into /dev/null until I

Hi All, I am synchronizing a few hundred dovecot mailboxes with a perl script via a crontab. ? It works for a while (ie exit status=0)? but the rest then start failing with exit code 19200.?? I tried redirecting STDERR but showed nothing.? I suspect the cron job is hitting some sort of resource limit?? If I run the perl script from the command line it appears to dsync all the accounts OK.?? The

Hi, We're using dovecot to provide pop3 for a number of mailboxes. The setup is pretty simple: Each user / domain has a mailstore in /data/mailstore/<domain>/<user>/Maildir (backed by NFS). Passwords are in simple passwd-file format in the top level domain directory eg: # cat /data/mailstore/foo.com/.passwd user:{plain}password The passdb setup looks like this. passdb {

Greetings - I've just discovered an oddity I didn't know I had... We have two NetApp filers: one serves people's home directories; the other their message store and control files filestores. At the moment the first of the two filers is not accessible to my Dovecot system and I assumed all would be well because, as far as I knew, I wasn't using it at all. However in

Hi all, Using Dovecot 1.0.3 on RedHat Enterprise 5 (kernel 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5PAE), and NFS storage, we symlinked a Maildir folder: /mailstore/user/Maildir/.Junk -> /junkstore/user/Junkmaildir Everything works fine, until we try to expunge, which produces: A04 NO BUG: Unknown internal error This only happens if "lazy_expunge" is enabled: mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl

Greetings - [SIGH: I hit the "Send" button instead of "Attach". Here's Take 2...] Whilst playing with getting quotas from NFS-mounted filestores I've just discovered a slight problem with src/lib/mountpoint.c I had things working on a Solaris 10 test machine which had the mailstore mounted 'normally' using an entry in /etc/vfstab. However when I changed

I have a Windoze-only client who wants to move their mail hosting from godaddy.com hosting to an in-house system. I'm pitching Linux as an alternative to Exchange, and trying to set up a demonstration system for them. While a long-time Linux user, my server admin experience has been in setting up front-ends (mostly Apache-based web interfaces) for the embedded systems I specialize in.

As mentioned in my previous posting, I've set up a mailserver for a domain of Winboxen, authenticated through Active Directory. After some struggles, I finally got that working. But I also need to receive emails for a few system users on the mailserver (like postmaster, and a couple of accounts set up for maintaining the system). I thought, based on the way I read the documentation,

Redudancy and recovering from a mailstore failure is one of the concerns I am trying to address where I work. Any plans to have Dovecot store emails in a database? NAS/SAN devices which do automatic replication to a second device are extremely expensive. I also don't see any distributed filesystem which is mature and available for the OS we use (FreeBSD). I recall at one point, many
