Taking a survey. 1. How many of you have a remote site hot backup Dovecot IMAP server? 2. How are you replicating mailbox data to the hot backup system? A. rsync B. DRBD+GFS2 C. Other Thanks. -- Stan

Hey all, I have a problem I can't find a solution for. I am on my third day of testing, researching, planning, and swearing. :) I need to set up a convenient way to synchronize a bunch of data over the network for backups. The server is FreeBSD and the client is Windows. Currently we are using PuTTY, Pageant, and PSCP to SCP the files over SSH. This has various problems which led me to look

I've recently migrated a server with imapsync with 150Gb of email and 200+ accounts. I found the trick with this was the run imapsync in several runs: Messages older than 1 year; messages older than 6 months; messages

Hi there, I have to migrate data out of a very old (debian 4) and buggy cyrus mailserver. About 40 Users with 200000 Messages each. Doveadm backup works quite well and gives me most of the mails. About every 100.000 Mail cannot be exported by cyrus. I do not want to bother about these errors. Maybe it is filesystem, maybe it is memory leak, or cyrus bug or whatever. My problem is that doveadm

I want to build 2 servers (both running samba) to provide file storage to 2 offices (approx 100 miles apart, linked via DSL) but all data writen to 1 server must also be saved to the other server. Both servers would also allow users to access the data via a VPN thus allowing 1 office with a failed server to access the other server via the vpn and still see the data from both offices. I currently

Hi All! I am working on a complete migration from an old solaris machine running Cyrus IMAP v2.3.14 and wish to migrate all users to a new ubuntu vm running Dovecot 2.0.19. What I have so far is a fully functional dovecot installation with LDAP / Dovecot SASL auth using Maildir++. My plan is to use Perdition IMAP proxy on a third host and migrate users a few at a time (see attached picture of

Hi all We are running tests on gluster to see if it is suitable for inclusion in a live environment. Software is 3.4.0beta4 Cluster is Proxmax with 2 nodes + quorum disc. Gluster is set to replicate mode - 2 replicas. Many tests are very satisfactory but last week we discovered two facts which make gluster unsuitable for our application. I assume this is a misunderstanding or misconfiguration

Hi - is there a clever way to identify files that have been change on the local _and_ the remote location? Without such a check it may happen, that changes are lost without even noticing. One way to identify such files would be to do a dry-run upsync, then a dry-run downsync, find files that would have been sync'ed in both dry- runs, and then prompt the user for some action. Is

Hello, I have a bit of a problem - I have the feeling the solution is ridicolously trivial, and yet I can't find it! I have a remote repository of text files. Until today, I was the only one changing those files: I would simply change them locally, and update the remote repository with this command: cd local_dir rsync --delete -e ssh -Llavuz . merc@remote_server:remote_directory

Hello, I also have issues using Dovecot Backup. I am trying to Backup (or possibly Sync - one way) a single user IMAP account from a remote server, unknown type, to my own server. For that purpose, I defined the following parameters : imapc_host = <host name> imapc_user = <user name> imapc_password = <password> imapc_features = rfc822.size (<user name> has format:

So I've done quite a lot of searching on the list and on the web - and perhaps my google-fu is really bad - but I can't find any real recipes on how to sync mail from the old server to the new. As an FYI - the old server is a CPanel/WHM setup on a VPS. The new is mailcow - which uses docker. However, I don't think either of these platforms is what's causing the issue - but

Hello, I would like to host my mails and I would like to retrieve my existing mailbox content from my ISP My ISP ====== I don't have root access on the server The server seem to use Dovecot according to the banner.

Hi List, please consider the following scenario: (and pleast forgive if I have not googled enough but I was unsuccessful to find an app what exactly does what I want) machine A (office) is, where most file changes/downloads etc happen. and it has limited internet access (only proxy possible) Machine B (home) has low bandwidth, is NATed etc. So I would like to use an USB

Hi list, I'm planning to setup a two-node "cluster" with file replication and samba. I've used drbd in the past with success, but now there isn't drbd on the official repo but only from elrepo. I want follow centos Line and than switch to GlusterFS. Said that, I'm new to GlusterFS. I have two hosts with a 2tb disk space for replica. I've ridden that glusterfs is

hi,all, I have a question about how to distinguish local add and remote delete? hope to get answer from any of you, thank you in advanced. how to distinguish local add and remote delete: Local is machine A, Rsync client, remote is machine B, Rsync server. In our application, A and B are load balance and have same import. file changes may happend in machin A or machine B. So each time, A

What is correct way to backup dovecot store? Is am I right what is just enough to copy all maildir and my configuration. So in case failure I can just prepare new machine copy config, maildirs and I'm good to go with this.

I am successfully using dovecot purely as a personal local mail store on my desktop. (There is only one account, and it's only ever accessed by local mail clients on the machine. The point is to have a common store I can use with any client; plus, I prefer dovecot's Mailbox storage to Thunderbird's mboxes.) Now I'd like if possible, to replicate this setup on my laptop and
