Hello, just upgraded one of my testing machine from dovecot 1.2.15 to 2.0.7. After some trouble with permissions now all seems working, but when I stop dovecot I have these errors in log: Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=20362 uid=0 code=kill) Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: pop3-login: Error: read(anvil) failed: EOF Nov 9 17:08:07 in dovecot: imap-login:

Hi, I hit a bizare problem with dovecot 2.2.7 on debian 9 with LMTP enabled and auth/penalty disabled as documented here : https://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Penalty Use case : I run a swaks command to send an email to an exim4 that tries to make a callout to dovecot-lmtp. At RCPT TO: swaks hangs 5.0<something-small> seconds then process normally (exim is waiting for callout

Hi, I can confirm that in the bad behavior, the 5 second delay occurs at each AUTH in our case. I think the configuration we have kill auth process at each end of AUTH (and fork a new one for next next AUTH). I think the "disable" flag is local to the process that is killed / respawned. A collegue of mine, Laurent Guerby, has found a workaround for us and it's findings seems

Hi all, we have a problem about anvil, it seems that when we have a high load the dovecot stops to work. Sometimes it is sufficient to make a dovecot reload, but sometimes we have to restart it. These are the lines related to anvil in the dovecot.log: [root at secchia ~]# grep anvil /var/log/dovecot.log | more Oct 26 11:13:55 anvil: Error: net_accept() failed: Too many open files Oct 26

I am encountering a problem with a configuration and, despite my search on the web, I do not find any solution for this problem. Dovecot seems to stop accepting new connection.

Hi, I'm strugling to find some documentation on dovecot's anvil service and/or its penalties (that can be checked with doveadm penalty) ... but i'm not finding anything on that. is there any documentation on anvil/penalties that i should check other than a few messages on the mailing list archive ? thanks ! -- Atenciosamente / Sincerily, Leonardo Rodrigues

Hi, I'm using dovecot as a local mail store on my laptop using preauth tunneling. It turns out I almost don't even need to start dovecot at all; the only reason it needs to be running is so that FTS indexing can be invoked. And because I don't want it to run any services, I can run it as an unprivileged user, so long as I turn them all off: # We don't want to serve any

are there any docs for anvil config & usage in 2.0? afaict, nothing's mentioned in the wiki ... thx.

Hi, After upgrading Dovecot from version 2.2.27 to 2.3.9.2, we are sporadically seeing lots of these errors in the error log on many of our servers: imap-login: Error: master(imap): net_connect_unix(imap) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable - http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SocketUnavailable The issue is causing significant delays and/or timeouts on login. From what I can tell, this

The main purpose here is to reduce the number of imap processes and the amount of memory they use by moving IDLEing connections into imap-hibernate processes where they are

Hi everyone! I have been working on idea for an application framework in ruby the wraps around the wx ruby gem. The goal is to make a framework that is as easy as rails create applications using concise and dry ruby code. We are in need of some experienced help! If you are interested checkout the project on ruby forge. Anvil.rubyforge.com and the irc channel is #rubyanvil on irc . My buck on irc

We recently switched over mail servers to one running dovecot and postfix on RedHat Enterprise 6. The mail store is NFS on a NetApp filer, the index files are on local disk. We have about 6000 total active users, though not all of them access the system at the same time. All goes well for a while, then we start seeing errors like this in the log: dovecot: imap-login: Error:
