Hi, I'm doing the final tests before I migrate my 10000 users from RHEL 4 + dovecot 1.1.20 to RHEL5 + dovecot 1.2.11, and I'm having some serious problems with outlook 2007 clients disconnecting very often. In dovecot's log I see lot of connects and disconnects from these clients (as oposed to my kmail, that just connects once when I come in and disconnects when I shut it off).

Hi, Before some major changes in our infrastructure, I was interested in the performance impact of moving indexes to our NAS (Emc Celerra v5.5). So I downloaded both dovecot-1.1.19 and dovecot-1.2.6, compiled them and wrote 2 confs for each of them, one with local indexes and another with indexes in the NAS. Then I created 19 pam users, and tested system performance this way: - uninstall

Hi, in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration, the example script that sends an email to the user uses the -o option to dovecot-lda that doesn't exists. HTH -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, ?rea de Explotaci?n

Hi, yesterday I migrated and old version with sendmail + courier to a virtual machine (vmware) with postfix and dovecot 2.0.9. Everything worked fine, but with a more or less default setup for both dovecot and postfix, lmtp performance was pretty bad: a message was written to an inbox every 2 or 3 seconds. With that rate and a 5000+ and growing mail queue mail delivery was really slow.

Hi, Is it posible to use variables in mail_location when taken from ldap? How? I've tried mdbox:/buzones2/'%n'/mdbox mdbox:/buzones2/"%n"/mdbox mdbox:/buzones2/%n/mdbox but %n is never replaced by its value. Thanks! -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, ?rea de Explotaci?n

Hi, I'm trying to setup a system with dovecot to remove the old courier one, and everything (pop3, imap, lmtp, quotas) but managesieve is working fine. It seems like it's a problem with each user having a separate uid, because I have a working similar setup with a single uid working without problems. In this system when I try to connect to the managesieve port using telnet I get no

Hi, we have a medium setup (8000 pop and imap users using almost every available client, 800GB of stored mails using maildir on a Celerra NFS server, with index files on local disks, and procmail for local delivery), being served by a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (2GB RAM and dual P4 Xeon 3,2GHz). Our current not-so-high availability setup is based on a similar server with the same setup and a easy

Hi, I've been trying some benchmarks to compare 1.0 vs 1.1 -this is the easiest way to explain the move to my boss-, so I've compiled dovecot 1.1 and imaptest-20080627 in my secondary machine running RHEL4, with homes in NFS, indeces in local files and control files also in NFS. Then I've created 100 new users imaptest001-imaptest100, and set the password paquitoelchocolatero to

Hi, I'm trying to get managesieve to work but, as usual, I have some issues... - First of all, the compilation process after applying the patch is a bit strange. I've used this way (i'm using centOS 4 for this pre-tests): $ tar zxvf dovecot-1.0.0.tar.gz $ cd dovecot-1.0.0 $ gzip -cd ../dovecot-1.0.rc28-MANAGESIEVE-v4.diff.gz | patch -p1 $ autoreconf (This ends with an error about

I recently created Dovecot Solutions Oy (Ltd) company with two other guys. We sell Dovecot support, development, etc. I was planning on announcing this only after we get an actual web site, but since I already told about it in Linuxtag today, I might as well tell everyone. The upcoming web site should have some more details, but if you already know you want to buy something, let me know. :)

Hi all, I've installed rc23 in a new testing machine, and i've had some permission problems related to dovecot-master.conf. As I have my master passwords in that file, I don't want it to be world readable. dovecot -n shows that auth_user is nobody, so setting the permissions to nobody.whatever 640 solves the problem. Anyway, I've tried to change the auth_user setting with no

Hi All, Sorry if this is a dumb questions, but what methods are available for retrieving mail for a system user i.e www-data. Basically my setup is just a normal Dovecot-IMAP which is working fine for shell users, but I want to be able to read mail for system users via IMAP. Is this doable? Cheers

Hi, I have already set up DOVECOT + POSTFIX mail server and I can send and receive mails outside my Domain. The problem however is that LOCAL Mail is not working. When I send LOCAL mails, it leaves my system without error messages but it is not received by the recipient. How do I make LOCAL mails work? Regards Alexander

Is there any way to still be able to login/delete email via dovecot-imap when the user's filesystem quota is exceeded? We just moved from courier where this was still possible but now a user over quota can login but cannot get a list of messages and the logs show this: May 27 10:24:45 pop1.gwtc.net dovecot: POP3(cody at howaboutnow.net) [64.251.165.209]:

I get dovecot to work and answer when telnet to 110 both local and from another computer. But it shows nothing in the log files except it's running.

We're using roundcube as a method of access to a read-only email archive served via imap/dovecot. I was thinking of disabling outgoing mails by fiddling with the roundcube code, but thought it might be possible to disable the outgoing functionality from dovecot? /Per Jessen, Z?rich

Having enabled shared mailboxes - is there a way to provide access to all users' mailboxes by a given user? Instead of having to manually provide ACL rights to every mailbox of every user? -- Daniel
