Hello. I've tried to implement dovecot's deliver LDA to my home mailserver. I've run into troubles :) dovecot-deliver.conf: -- snip -- mail = maildir:%h/Maildir:INBOX=maildir:%h/Maildir mbox_read_locks = flock mbox_write_locks = flock -- snip -- when i run: deliver -d bfg < email.txt dovecot delivers message to ~/Maildir/maildir/new It acctually creates "maildir"

I have a reproducible intermittent error large site - "The specified network name is no longer available". This happens when copying large files. Below is part of log level 10 output & strace. Sorry for the long posting. I will probably need to put the loglevel 10 attached to a bugzilla - but thought I would try the lists initially. RHEL4 samba-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4

Hi I just tried to run the convert plugin as described at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Convert (except with mail_location = maildir:~/Mail) It fails with an error message: Eopen(/.temp.falcon.endbracket.net.18618.8d5e0a038da6cf06) failed: Permission denied Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 It looks like Dovecot execs /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap, which drops root privileges

Hello Ervin, The in-memory cache lookup could be added back into samba-4.1.6 by applying the attached patch, if it could be compiled with Louis how-to steps, perhaps got the chance to make U14.04 be stayed on samba-4. Here is my test, the test-bench is uploading 5000 files and each one is 1MB. The attached patch could improve 15% at case B). Case A) Original samba-4.1.6 will go through

We're running samba-2.2.3a-6 from the redhat 7.3 distribution. Periodically we see a massive load on our server which then quickly goes away. I've spent some time trying to diagnose where the problem is and it appears to be caused by every smb process on the machine (all 360 of them) re-reading the config file at the same moment. THe problem is I cannot see why this should happen and

Hi, I downloaded the latest dovecot (1.0 alpha 3) and tried numerous installs which get me nothing. No errors, no crashes, no segfaults and no running dovecot. It just seems to silently exit. I was trying to build with mysql support but I've also tried a plain old install, just configure, make install, etc. I get nada. strace doesn't show anything, at least as far as I can tell.

The latest version that Western Digital has shipped with the My cloud devices accesses the disk about twice a minute. The access to /dev/sda2 is causing the system to keep the disk from going into standby mode. I don't understand the call to quotactl every minute when no one is trying to access the share. An strace of one of the processes shows the following: poll([{fd=13,

Hi Jones, many thanks again four your help and your time. Thanks for the patch too - I'll check it up. On my Ubuntu, there is a Samba 4.1.6. I'll install the samba source package, and will try to apply the patch, then - I hope - the package will be compiled as well. I'll notify to you about the result. (First, I need to upgrade that server.) Thanks again, Ervin On Thu, Apr

Hi all! I have upgraded Dovecot 0.99.11 installation that's worked with LDAP to Dovecot 1.0-test52 and I can't get LDAP to work. I noticed the /etc/dovecot.conf is slightly different, so I have adjusted changes. If I use the standard auth (passw & pam) everything works fine, however when I user ldap for auth Dovecot starts but then dies: dovecot: Nov 26 14:14:36 Error: Auth process

Ok I updated both systems to rsync-2.6.8 and found the info on setting strace on the server. Here are the trace logs, there are two calls the first is just the module list which finishes normally the second is the file list in the test module which fails after the list. By the way I have no idea what any of this means (sorry if I'm not supposed to post traces to the list)

Hello list, I have a strange problem with dovecot and quota. The error message is not obvious... After a couple of seconds when I try to start dovceot, I get this: root at taleira:~# /etc/init.d/dovecot start Alarm clock If I uncomment the "imap_quota and quota" in dovecot.conf everything seem to work fine: protocol imap { listen = *:143 ssl_listen = *:993 # problem pa

Well I have determined that everytime someone logs in/logs out of a windows box in our lab *ALL* of the files in "My Directory" are copied from/to the file server to the local client. Needless to say this is retarded and needs to stop. The local sys admin needs to perform some windows voodoo to redirect this directory. Still this brings the mystery as to why smbd would take up so much

I was digging through some of the archives and ran into someone who was having the same problem, but for completely different reasons....i think. dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:51 Info: Dovecot starting up dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:52 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:52 Error: child 27673 (login) killed with signal 11 dovecot: Nov 02 07:58:52 Error: child 27672 (login)

Experts, (Now that I am able to run imap...) Here's what I am seeing with imap, it seems to die in the latest nightly.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, my last tests left me with a mailbox with > 80'000 messages in Maildir. Dovecot served them fine. No problem. I usually use IMAP's "Mark messages a deleted" function and expunge later. Because the "Move to Trash" is default in many MUAs, I decided to try it on this mailbox. I do think that it is hard to

I have dracd and dovecot up and running and trying to get the two connected. I'm using the FC3 rpms from callimg yum install.
