Anyone out there using expire? At this point, I'm not sure that it's even running. It was touching the plugin libraries yesterday, but doesn't appear to be doing so today. The plugin directory wasn't explictly set, so I've done so now, but it's still not touching these. Anyone have a cf file I could take a look at, or any ideas as to what might be happening? Thanks!

Hi, I'm testing out the dovecot expire plugin, and not seeing anything go into the database I've got set up. It's a mysql db. I've gone in and verified that the db is set up correctly. The socket is set up so that deliver should be able to talk to the db, but I'm not seeing anything in the expires table when I look. Is there anywhere that expire can log to so I can see

Hi, We are currently running Dovecot v1.1.6 on our servers, and are contemplating an upgrade to 1.2, or 2.0 soon. We are wondering how many organizations are still running a 1.1 version of Dovecot, and if anyone has any thoughts on this transition. Have you upgraded from 1.1 to 1.2? What are your experiences with this? Have you upgraded from 1.1 to 2.0 directly? What are your experiences this

Hi, Just wondering for all you people using Dovecot out there. 1. What mailbox protocol are you using? 2. What version of Dovecot?

Hi, I'd like to change the log levels of a few of the errors that Dovecot throws. Our servers throw errors at the console above the 'Error' level, and there are a few that I'd like to change to 'Warn' so that they don't do so. Has anyone out there attempted this and can give me a few pointers? Or is there a doc somewhere about how to do this? Thanks,

Hi, Doing a first install of dovecot, trying to copy over some of the config settings from 1.1.6. I'm getting an error, I think from the ACL plugin module. This is the error I'm getting on the console: Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89 Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/opt/dovecot1.8/dovecot.conf And this is what is appearing in syslog: Jan 23 12:46:57

Hi, We're seeing a new error under Dovecot 1.1.8 that we haven't seen before. Sep 14 09:00:10 hostname dovecot: [ID 684838 local6.error] child 638 (imap) killed with signal 10 This is being seen under dovecot 1.1.8, on Solaris 10u6. This is the only server we've got running this software. We're not seeing this on any of our other 5 servers running the 1.1.x series. Namely

Hi Timo, Awhile back I'd written about making changes to some of the log levels that dovecot writes to to stop the process from writing these to monitor. I wanted to run a few changes by you for this, just to make sure these won't cause problems somewhere else. And to send this to the list, in case anyone else wants to make similar changes in the future. In the file

Hi, I'm having a problem with a webmail client trying to open multiple IMAP connections with dovecot, and hitting a cap. I see from the error logs from this program that it's hitting the mail_max_userip_connections cap, but I'm not seeing this value as defined in the dovecot.conf file. Would this automatically get set to a certain value by default if it's not present? Thanks,

Hi, We're having some issues with certain messages not being able to be read by Dovecot. Can anyone tell me under what conditions the error messages below could be caused?

Hi, I'm getting an error trying to make 1.2.11 with mysql drivers on. The output that I'm getting is: Undefined first referenced symbol in file driver_mysql_db ../lib-sql/libsql.a(sql-drivers-register.o) ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to dovecot-auth *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target

I realize these are older versions, but I'd like to know specifically whether dovecot 1.1.6 and dovecot 1.1.8 are compatible index-wise. In particular, if we downgraded from 1.1.8 to 1.1.6 would there be any issues with doing so? I realize there are later versions, but we've tested both of the above extensively, but recently loaded up a server with 1.1.8 and found that the 'imap'

Trying to implement expire plugin. expire-tool works fine. This delete expunged messages but not all of them. I have duplicate messages in appropriate folder. These messages are from expanding postfix aliases (e.g. postmaster@, hostmaster@, abuse@ etc. points to same mailbox and spam often sent to all of them. If duplicate message is received only one entry in dovecot-uidlist is created and only

Hi - Though I'm not sure whether anyone will be interested in such tool (other than a possible SO user [1]). Here is a small tool to delete files at specific time in future. https://github.com/Lakshmipathi/expirer https://github.com/Lakshmipathi/expirer/blob/master/misc/ISSUES [1] http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/149824/automatically-delete-files-after-they-expire -- ----

Expire plugin / expire-tool seems annoyingly inflexible currently, so I was thinking about a more generic redesign: The expire plugin keeps track of the oldest message in configured mailboxes. Its only configuration is the list of tracked mailboxes. There's no configuration like what the expire timeouts are or anything. There will be a new doveadm command: doveadm expunge [-u user | -A]

Hi folks, when I run expire-tool, I often see messages like the following: # dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool Info: user/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Fri May 22 17:42:23 2009 the server's dovecot.conf contains the following line: expire = Trash 2 Junk 7 */News 30 */Reports 7 >From what I observe, an error of "expire time in future" in one

Hi! Here is the problem: passdb: daniell:*::::::user=daniell2 userdb: daniell2::uid:gid:gecos:home:: dovecot.conf: plugin { expire = SA.* 1 # (There are SA.HAM and SA.SPAM directories) } When copying a message to eg. the SA.HAM directory, then dovecot inserts this into my expires table: dovecot=# select * from expires ; username | mailbox | expire_stamp

I have managed to get the master quota working, but cannot get individual user quota to do anything. Here is a line from /etc/dovecot/passwd: _kari at karico.ca:XXXXXXXXX:502:502::/var/mail/vhosts/karico.ca/kari::userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=600M_ Also, based on this, the expire cron job says: Unknown dict module: db # 1.1.6: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.centos.plusxen i686

Hi, I'm running dovecot 1.2.11 on Centos and have the expire plugin enabled. I've had this in place for some time but until now never actually ran the expire-tool. I'm now trying to put this to use. The expire plugin as such is working fine and also the tool is working fine - up to a point. When I run it with --test it goes through a bunch of boxes and lists the messages it

Hi, I try to get expire working, with the BDB backend and mbox mailboxes. If I try to invoke the expire-tool like /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test I get [root at m ~]# /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test Error: read(/var/run/dovecot/dict-server) failed: Remote disconnected Hmm.
