Hello, I am testing expire plugin, with quota plugin enabled. When I execute expire-tool, maildirsize is not updated. Is there any solution to update maildirsize when executing expire-tool? # /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot --version 1.1.18 # /usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot -n # 1.1.18: /usr/local/dovecot/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE i386 base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/

I'm using 1.2.6 with the managesieve patch and maildir++ quotas (via the maildirsite file). Again, I found that the quota warning is not bering triggered. Testing via: smtp-source -4 -f sender at charite.de -t recipient at charite.de -m 1 -l 1000000 -C 1 mail.charite.de:submission recipient at charite.de being a mailbox with a 10.0 MB limit. I attached dovecot -n and the quota warn script.

Hi, I'll try to keep short. My primary question is what, in people's experience, are the best configuration settings for to avoid potential NFS cache locking issues in an interesting heterogeneous environment? We appear to have a workaround for some locking issues we have seen, which is turning off IDLE. Upgrading our version of dovecot from 1.1.4 is likely to address some core

We recently started upgrading OpenSSH on our Sol8 systems and we've run into a problem were we can run commands on a remote system since we installed 3.7.1p1. The debug output from sshd is attached below. We use PAM in our environment, and have since 2.9.9p2. I think most of the systems were running 3.4p1 prior installing 3.7.1p1 and they were working - the only thing we replaced was

I ran into a weird problem yesterday where Putty can't connect to my OpenSSH/Sol box (and still can't ever since). On the Putty side I get the error message: "internal fault: chaos in SSH 2 transport layer" I've attached the "sshd -d -d -d" syslog output. Any ideas what's going wrong here? From a layman's point of view, it would appear that Putty and

Hi, I'm using deliver for storing new mails (nfs). Since v.1.2 deliver does not reject mails if over quota (maildir quota). test with v. 1.1.18: # HOME=/tmp/maildir/ /path/dovecot-1.1.18/libexec/dovecot/deliver -e -c /path/dovecot-1.1.18/etc/dovecot.conf # Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) test with v. 1.2.4: # HOME=/tmp/maildir/ /path/dovecot-1.2.4/libexec/dovecot/deliver -e -c

I'm getting constantly high numbers of page reclaims & involuntary context switches for dovecot/auth. page reclaims = minor faults = cpu switching back to system-mode, But why is the auth process doing that so excessively? Same for the large number of involuntary context switches... Attached is my "dovecot -n" output. Date: Sun, 07 Nov 2010 20:40:34 +0100 type real

Hi, I am setting up a fileserver in an AD domain, using Samba 3.0.21b under Solaris 9. An Openldap server (version 2.3.17) is used fot the idmap backend. Following the Samba HOWTO Collection, chapter 6, I used the statement ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=uppsala,dc=se in my smb.conf. This doesn't work. When starting winbindd I get the following in the log: [2006/02/15 10:31:14, 3]

Hi, I've upgraded from 1.0.7 to 1.1.3. When I did this, my Thunderbird lost its brain and did not show some subscribed folders. squirrelmail also seemed to have issues. Applemail and mutt were fine. The configuration output is below. Hopefully this is just me and just random bizarreness. There wasn't a problem in 1.0.7 but I could have been caught in mid-upgrade. Thunderbird did not

At noon, I often get "dovecot: Maximum number of mail processes exceeded" I'm at my wits end, which parameter needs to be increased further? # 1.1.3: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap imaps pop3s ssl_cert_file: /etc/ssl/certs/postamt.pem ssl_key_file: /etc/ssl/private/postamt.key disable_plaintext_auth: no version_ignore: yes login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login

If I set it to "no", should I still be able to login with a typed-in password?

Hi, I'm trying to disallow the creating of subfolders for some special folder for all users. Using ACL plugin for this seems to work at first glance but is not a full solution or is buggy as it allows the creation of sub-subfolders. I'm using the following ACL and namespace separator is "/": $ cat folder owner lrwstie Note: no "k" permission ("k" =

Hello, our dovecot mailservice was running smoothly for a long time. Since last week we get the following error message when connecting from the horde/imp webmailer to the public namespace: Panic: file acl-cache.c: line 294 (acl_cache_update): assertion failed: (obj_cache->my_current_rights != &negative_cache_entry) Dovecot and horde/imp are running on seperate hosts.

Hi, Recently I gzipped mails older than 30 days in our users' maildirs. I used find and gzip. Gzip added 'Z' at the end of the filename and everything seemed to work fine, users did not notice any difference in performance (yet :-), and I saved about 30% of our mail storage space. There seems to be a problem when moving gzipped messages from one folder to another though. Dovecot

Hello, I've downloaded the metadata plugin from http://hg.intevation.org/kolab/dovecot-metadata-plugin compiled it without errors, made the entries as described in README in dovecot.conf.

Hi, there! Well, I am new to dovecot, so please be patient with me: I have a virtual server and want to setup simple mail delivery. postfix, saslauthd and dovecot basically work fine. The only open issue is, that (I guess) dovecot doesn't remove the mail when it's retrieved via pop3 from the server. It keeps sending me the same emails again and again. (The mail client (Thunderbird) is

Dovecot 1.2.10 in Debian, using Dovecot sieve. I have a sieve script, generated by Ingo, that's supposed to mark spam messages as "Seen" and file them into the Junk folder. In part it reads: require ["regex", "body", "imapflags", "fileinto"]; if exists "X-Spam-Flag" { addflag "\\Seen"; fileinto
