similar to: doveadm purge output

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

We've finally (!) started to put some users on mdbox instead of maildir, and now I'm wondering about the purge step. As we're running GPFS for the mailboxes (and dovecot director in front of every dovecot service), is it important to run the "doveadm purge -u $user" on the same host as $user is logged into to avoid index corruption ? If so, will we need to run the

I have a rather large and active mdbox (28 GB, 3M mess, 1200 deliveries/day). I usually have no problems working with those mails, and there is some batch processing going on (via doveadm). Every few weeks I try my luck running doveadm purge, and this a) crunches about 5GB (to be expected), b) takes rather long (ok), c) leads to long stretches of blocked mdbox, which is the problem. I always

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,

Having a problem with a mailbox. I've been trying to rebuild - but doveadm force-resync crashes.

Since doveadm service proxying apparently doesn't work with dovecot v2.0, we need to find a way to safely run doveadm purge on the host the user is logged into. Would it be OK to run purge in the pop/imap postlogin scripts? We already do a conditional: test /var/log/activemailaccounts/imap/$USER -ot /var/log/activemailaccounts/today then touch /var/log/activemailaccounts/imap/$USER fi so

Hello, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0.3. I plan to use Dovecot with 10 thousands domains per server (~50 thousands accounts). I use 'mdbox' as mailbox format. So, I have two cron jobs before backup: ################################################################################ 01 22 * * * root nice -n 19 /usr/bin/doveadm expunge -A mailbox SPAM BEFORE 60d 01 00 * * * root nice -n 19

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

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 am using mdbox storage format. As far as I know, ?doveadm purge? does a complete purge. The time and disk activity would be proportional to the number mdbox files on the storage. The purge time could be huge. I wonder if there is some way of doing a kind of incremental purge, stopping/restarting purging, etc. Purging by file range would be nice too. Advice?

Hello everybody, What is the best way to delete an user mailbox (ex: /var/mail/johndoe ) when all attachments (for all users) are in a common directory with SIS deduplication (ex: mail_attachment_dir = /var/mail/attachments ) ? Trying to delete user mailbox directory (rm) and do the command : doveadm -v purge -u johndoe leave all johndoe's attachments orphelin. Best regards,

Hi, we have configured userdb and passdb in the director and try to iterate all users and pass the "purge" command via doveadm proxy to port 19000 on the correct director backend host. A single purge -u username at example.org via doveadm-proxy works correctly, but iterating over some users with -A fails. Note: users/domains have been anonymized in output:

Hello, I'm facing an issue where deleted emails keep re-appearing after my mailbox index gets recreated.??I'm running version 2.2.36 of dovecot, but I tested the same scenario under 2.3.10. I'm also using mdbox, autoexpunge, and using dovecot replication. I've had several instances now where some expunged emails show up again in a mailbox. I noticed this error: doveadm: Error:

This is a good idea for installations with tons of users. Good point. I would be personally interested in incremental

I'm using "/usr/bin/doveadm purge -A" to purge the mdboxes of my users. Unfortunately this command terminates prematurely once it reaches a defective mdbox! Is there a workaround for this? Like using doveadm to get a list of valid users and then run "doveadm purge -u" on each of those? -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstra?e 15, 81669

But is that not adviced in the manual[1]? I am also in the process of setting up dovecot behind a haproxy. Still testing with this. I was wondering why one would choose haproxy and not eg dovecot proxy (with director) [1] https://wiki2.dovecot.org/HAProxy -----Original Message----- From: Zelic Bojan [mailto:bojan.zelic at kudelskisecurity.com] Sent: woensdag 26 augustus 2020 23:39 To:

Continuing to see errors on this with some new messages. Is it possible this has anything to do with zlib plugin, or possibly having a mix of zlib compressed & uncompressed messages with mdbox? I recently added zlib to deliver plugin list. -- Daniel L. Miller, VP - Engineering, SET AM Fire & Electronic Services, Inc. [AMFES] dmiller at amfes.com 702-312-5276
