similar to: Dovecot truncating Inboxes?

Hi, we are actually deploying a new IMAP-Server, targeting dovecot 2.1.17. Unfortunately, our tests with imaptest did not succeed, were ending in core dumps. We did this test: ./imaptest host=example.com port=143 user=strack pass=secret disconnect_quit no_pipelining mbox=dovecot-crlf That's what we get in dovecot's log: Sep 10 11:17:04 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<strack>,

There are three applications that have their mitts on files on my mail server, which is running AIXV5.3 and UWIMAP and mbox format. The mail folders and INBOXES are native to that machine, but also are NFS exported to a login server and a mailing list server. All three machines are running the lockd daemon. Everybody wants to lock differently 1) procmail (delivering for sendmail), which

Hi, our setup is Samba 3.3.12 as the Trusted Domain (Domain name: SAMBA) Windows 2008r2 as the Trusting Domain (Domain name: W2008) The trust itself works quite well, users of the SAMBA Domain are able to log into the workstations of the W2008 domain and even roaming profiles are working. However, when I try to configure permissions on a share of the W2008r2 server to users from the SAMBA

Hello, we use dovecot on a regular basis. Sometimes I end up with a user telling me he does not get mail. When I look after the problem, I always find leading blank lines in the mbox file. We are using postfix with dovecot and amavisd as spam scanner. Amavisd never accesses the mbox files directly so this can be ruled out. I suspected procmail but now it happened also with accounts where no

Hi, An urgent problem that I have : runninng dc 0.99.14 w mbox on local ext3 , nothing special, no nfs, nothing. For this machine we have a backup server rsyncing everything over. Now the main server went down and we started DC on the backup machine some day ago. Everything went well, besides one problem : people complained about missing mails that they had seen beforehand.

Hi all, I'm new here and would very much appreciate any help you can give me. We are running a rather outdated mail server that until recently has been running beautifully. Under the pretense of "it is ain't broke, don't fix it" it hasn't been updated so is running Fedora Core 4 and dovecot v0.99.14. What is happening is that as users log in (via thunderbird), they

I have Dovecot 1.0 in trial use by the IT staff, and have some locking questions Background, the mail server runs procmail, sendmail and NFS exports the user homedir and mailbox to a) a login shell host and b) a mailing list services host. It runs UWIMAP on the usual ports and dovecot on a arbitrary port number. Because of concern with NFS and file access contention. I have the following

Hello! I just joined the list and will be happy to help where I can in my limited experience, but also come to the table with a question. I think there's something I'm missing regarding shared mailboxes and ACLs, so I will describe my situation and see if I am understanding correctly (running Dovecot 1.1.10). I have read over the Dovecot Wiki many times and have scoured many forums but

The following shows up in the "orphaned page" list of the Wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxLocking?action=show&redirect=MboxSoftwareLocks Does the description of Dovecot mbox locking still apply to current versions?

We are currently running dovecot 2.2.rc3. I am trying to 'dsync mirror' old Qpopper/mbox inboxes to our new Dovecot/mdbox servers. For most of the several thousand accounts, it works without issue. But there are a handful of accounts that are generating the following errors. dsync(joe): Error: Sync failed for mbox file /var/opt/migrate/users/joe/inbox: seq=981 uid=981 uid_broken=0

The ldapdatabase ware restore with the necessery changes from dump of the old datatabase. Also the kerberos

Thanks in advance for your patience and assistance. Since a system administrator's work is most successful when nobody knows you've done anything....(ugly that...you get neither raises nor equipment funding as a result), I prefer to learn from other's experiences rather than fail in the same pits. We are considering a switch from UW to Dovecot, since our users persist in using

Thanks for everybody's tips on the mbox to maildirs converter. I was unaware that Maildirs was a common format not specific to dovecot, so I was searching using a dovecot keyword. I'm having this problem now with inboxes. I want to use maildirs, but my mail is delivered to an mbox. I can't seem to get dovecot to recognize the inbox location. Is something like:

We're currently in the process of organising a migration from mbox to maildir mail storage on our server, and are hoping to phase this in gradually using dovecot's capabilities. Procmail has already been configured to deliver mail to either the existing mbox or to a new maildir for the user based on the (non)existence of a .converted file in their home directory. Where we are having

Each time mail is deleted from mbox mailbox the whole mbox while needs to be rewritten to remove the mail. OpenSMTPD and Dovecot run on the same machine. OpenSMTPD receives incoming mails and

Hi, Is there a configuration element that would allow me to change the dot-lock name for the user's /var/mail inbox when it is locked? dovecot (correctly) acquires <username>.lock, but I'm having a problem with procmail where some obscure code path is preventing procmail's acquisition of a lock when it's that default name in /var/mail. The issue is not permissions
