Hi folks. I'm experimenting with the Squat plugin. I can execute search commands via direct interaction with IMAP, but I never see the expected dovecot.index.search index file appear in the spool. I'm concerned that I've misconfigured something that is preventing the creation of those indices. Is there a facility to have the squat plugin generate debugging messages so I

Using a fairly simple dovecot config (which obviously needs some max limit tweaking) we have problems with IMAP synchronization between thunderbird clients. Two TB clients in the same IMAP mailbox will, from time to time, show different views of the same INBOX folders, when TB caching is enabled. The only fix is to right-click on the folder, go to "Properties" and use the "Repair

Hi folks. Is it possible to configure Dovecot to authenticate against one mechanism (i.e., /etc/passwd) for POP/IMAP connections, while providing a SASL authentication socket that satisfies authentication requests against a different mechanism, say MySQL? The goal here is to allow users to have different passwords for SMTP authentication and POP/IMAP connections. I am converting an

Hey folks. I'm currently running Dovecot v1.1.6, and would like to move to 1.2.x soon. I'm using MySQL-backed LDA and fully virtualized mailboxes. Are there any upgrade gotchas I should be aware of? How much config file hacking should I expect? Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL

Hi folks. This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to find a clue. I'm running Dovecot v1.2.9 and Thunderbird v3.1.7. If I delete messages using a different IMAP client (I also use an iPhone and occasionally SquirrelMail), I would expect those messages to disappear from Thunderbird the next time I start it or click on "Get Mail". In fact, they do...most of the

Hey folks. One feature I'd really like to see in dovecot is the ability to point it at a database (with a configurable query) and have it allow or deny a connection based on looking up the source IP address in that database. I run Postfix, and I've got it configured to use a database server for its smtpd_client_restrictions checks. Ideally I'd like to point dovecot at

Hi folks, I've got a few thousand accounts that I'd like to convert from mbox to maildir. I'm looking at using convert-tool from the command line to do this, but I'm uncertain about the command line syntax, so I hope someone can take a moment to go over this with me. I'm running dovecot 1.1.6 on this system. Mail accounts are not tied to UNIX system accounts, I'm

In case it is relevant, HLVM uses libsigsegv to detect stack overflows and that stack handler is initialized in my JITted code which LLVM's runFunction should be calling. Could libsigsegv be conflicing with the stack

Hi folks! I converted some of the spools on my mail server from maildir to mdbox. It went smoothly and the performance has been great. However, I have two questions regarding the process. First, I failed to notice the fairly low default mdbox_rotate_size, and I changed it in dovecot.conf after the migration. Is it possible to somehow make that change retroactive, to coalesce the couple

I?m pretty sure LE creates a new private key, too. From a cursory glance at lego?s certificate directory on a server with a couple of dozens of LE certificates at least. After all, changing the private key is what this is all

Hey folks.

I will investigate this. If you don't expect yor firewall to handle 45K+ IPs, I'm not how you expect dovecot will handle a comma separated string with 45K+ entries any

I'm trying to figure out a way, or if it is even possible, to use mailing list software (majordomo2) on a Postfix + Dovecot + virtual mailboxes system. And where I should be looking. The examples on the Postfix site don't seem to address a purely virtual mailboxes system and I haven't found anything about doing it with deliver. I think I'm at the wrong tree (Dovecot deliver)

Hi Folks, How scalable is dovecot. Do you think a machine with a dual core 2.8Ghz processor and 2GB of RAM would do a business with 600 users? This server will have a 100Mbps link to the net, however it will be access by the business using a couple of ADSL lines (Roughly 7Mbps each). This machine will also be running Postfix Your help is appreciated Cheers Jonny
