Hi, Sometimes a script kiddie tries to guess passwords on our mailserver (Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, postfix, dovecot 1.2.9, scanners, the standard stuff). That leads to a nagios message about the high number of processes. The number goes above 500. Nagios threshold is set to 250, which is more than enough for normal operation of this server. When are these processes supposed to die again? They seem to

Hi, I'm trying to get old mail from /var/mail/<user>, where <user> is the (sometimes) huge mailfile, not a directory, converted to the maildir INBOX in ~/Maildir. Users have no ~/mail directory; they were supposed to use pop3 only. I'm trying the example from the wiki: plugin { convert_mail = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%n } but have still not succeded. I tried

Hi, I'm fighting all weekend on with auth and pam to authenticate local system users. testuser is such local user and is in passwd and shadow. I want to have local system users (testuser is one of them) and virtual users. The virtual part works fine but I cannot get the local user to connect. Still pam fails finding the user. The suggested password mismatch at the end is, in my eyes,

Hello all. I have strange problem. As I understand IMAP use server2client command to tell what new email is arrived. So - all was good, but few weeks ago I notice what my thunderbird not show new messages. I think it was local problem(I switch distro what day) but soon my email clients what uses mostly Outlook-2007-SP1 start to confirm this problem. What can it be and how can I fix it? I

Hi all, after inserting another sieve-rule, I get the following backtrace on deliver. The mail gets delivered into the Mailbox, but as deliver does not exit with 0, postfix bounces the mail. The additional rule is the same as all others in my .dovecot-sieve: > require ["fileinto", "include"]; > > if header :contains ["From"]

Hi, I'm using RoundCube and I asked RC team to add ACL support, but there is a problem with renaming ACL protected folders. Users don't have permissions to deleting/renaming some folders. It works well, but every imap talk when renaming folders ends with: OK Rename completed. but the name of folder isn't changed. Here is a log from RC when I tried to rename ACL

I'm using 1.2.6 with the managesieve patch and maildir++ quotas (via the maildirsite file). Again, I found that the quota warning is not bering triggered. Testing via: smtp-source -4 -f sender at charite.de -t recipient at charite.de -m 1 -l 1000000 -C 1 mail.charite.de:submission recipient at charite.de being a mailbox with a 10.0 MB limit. I attached dovecot -n and the quota warn script.

I'm getting constantly high numbers of page reclaims & involuntary context switches for dovecot/auth. page reclaims = minor faults = cpu switching back to system-mode, But why is the auth process doing that so excessively? Same for the large number of involuntary context switches... Attached is my "dovecot -n" output. Date: Sun, 07 Nov 2010 20:40:34 +0100 type real

Hello everybody, As explained in the topic, i have troubles with authentication of my users. First of all, sorry for my poor english... I'm running dovecot v1.2.15 on a Debian 6 64bits server up to date. My users database is an Active Directory 2003 (it's important to know that because Active Directory can't retrieve users passwords, you have to bind LDAP with a domain administrator).

Hi, I'm one step away from replacing a 7 years old qmail/uw-imapd setup with some state of the art soft- and hardware. We got migration scripts and test almost done - just one thing that keeps failing: The autocreate plugin is supposed to subscribe new users to different mailboxes, one of them being in namespace "Public." - this subscription to "Public.announcements"

Hi, I would like to upgrade my server from 1.2.16 with sieve and managesieve to 2.0.8 with pigeonhole. Will I get all functionality I was having before? Should this migration be painless or will it require some additional work? I've read the Upgrading guide so I know I need to create an additional user. I've migrated the mails from Maildir to dbox in the past (using the convert
