Dovecot will soon have a plugin which allows running a nightly cronjob to expunge mails from configured mailboxes which have been in there for a configurable amount of time. For example the configuration could be: plugin { # Trash 7d, Spam 30d expire = Trash 7 Spam 30 } It also supports using Dovecot's lib-dict to keep track of the mailboxes and their oldest mail's timestamp, so that

Hi, After reading the following paragraph from the dovecot doc, I've been wondering how it would affect rsync (when combined with gzip): "Expunging a message only decreases the message's refcount. The space is later freed in "purge" step. This is typically done in a nightly cronjob when there's less disk I/O activity. The purging first finds all files that have

Hi, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0rc2 with mdbox mail format and I'm not sure what this exactly means: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox Quote from wiki page: ===== Expunging a message only decreases the message's refcount. The space is later freed in "purge" step. This may be done automatically within the session or later in a nightly cronjob when there's less

I was thinking of maybe putting a request update password expire time on login and have a system user go find the expire times. with ldap or something? It could put a file in the users home directory with a timestamp of when the user's password expires. Ex: In the bashrc or tcshrc (the global ones) add a line like so touch /tmp/requestpwexpupdate/${USER} and have a cronjob the searches

with two separate dovecot/backend servers accessing one central mysql server, will it be ok to have them both use the same expires table? Or will that confuse the actual dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool.sh cronjob since some of the entries mailboxes won't exist locally? Ben

Hi all, Let's say I activate password expiration for every account (including root) for every 90 days. I understand that cronjob for root will fail when the password expires. The question is, if I setup a cronjob every 90 days to renew the root password like: echo diFficulT123 | passwd --stdin root will it work? I mean at second 1 on the 90th day, which will run first? - The cronjob to renew

Why things happen is one of the great mysteries and joys of being a sysadmin... As for cleaning up SIS, I believe the "doveadm purge" command takes care of it. I have a daily cronjob which includes: #!/bin/sh # Permanently expunge old Trash doveadm expunge -A mailbox Trash savedbefore 2w # Optimize mdbox storage doveadm purge -A # Update fts indexes doveadm fts rescan -A -- Daniel

So with "fts_autoindex=yes" enabled in plugins, is there anything I should be running regularly, other than the expunge/purge, to ensure Solr indexes are updated? I have a daily Solr optimize, and Solr autocommit enabled. I have an hourly "doveadm index -A *" command - is that unneeded? -- Daniel On 4/12/2015 6:53 AM, Timo Sirainen wrote: > On 10 Apr 2015, at 21:55,

Did you "purged" the deleted mails for this user? On mdbox you must run "doveadm purge -u $USER" to whipe out any as deleted marked mails etc. Details: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Purge I use a nightly cronjob wor this.

Daniel thank you for the advice, I have done this exact procedure to clean up some space and I reduced the used space by more than 60% (huge gain!). Yet it is still a mystery why this happened first place and more important if it will occur again, time will tell. I have kept one mailbox out of this procedure (the "live" size is 8,8G, the backup size is less than 1GB) to do some

Shot in the dark here...haven't tried it myself so no promises. There's probably a much better way to do this but sometimes a little "brute force" helps. Theoretical steps: 1. Stop all mail processes - both SMTP and IMAP. 2. Use "doveadm sync" to backup the user mailbox, e.g., doveadm backup -u user mdbox:/tmp/usermail 3. Verify /tmp/usermail looks reasonable

Hi, I do store mail in mdbox format of 150m in size (dovecot 2.3.9). Once in a while I do experience mdbox files of smaller size, even after applying 'doveadm purge' and previous expunges by the users. like: -rw------- 1 vmail dovecot 104854595 Feb 9 2019 /var/mail/.maildirs/userX/storage/m.22 -rw------- 1 vmail dovecot 29088478 Mar 8 2019

To make a long story short I was doing some in-sample testing in which some dynamically created regressors would end up either all true or all false based on the validation portion. In my case a new mainframe configuration (this is a crappy way to handle a level shift but I do what I can.) So here is the code snippet that finally let me pre-check my regressors and drop any of them that were all

I'm helping a school district set up Samba for staff/student shares. The PDC/BDCs are running NT4. Samba is v 3.0.23a on Fedora Core 5 boxes. winbind is mapping the users. Access to shares through Windows clients or smbclient works perfectly. There is a desire to have some faculty access the server using, e.g., an ssh client (mostly for remote file access).
