similar to: Dovecot 1.2/2.0 coexistence guide?

Due to the ongoing performance issues with 2.0.x I switched back to 1.2.15 yesterday evening, with no changes to the machine or my users. (I migrated from 1.2.15 to 2.0.x by converting the existing config) Today, we have MUCH LESS load, with the same number of logins/min. I cannot say what exactly causes this immense increase in load, but one observation is that the time spent in system() has

Today I encountered this after upgrading: Feb 18 18:15:40 postamt dovecot: imap(lehnertr): Panic: LIST: Mailbox name not UTF-8: INBOX.Entw?rfe Feb 18 18:15:40 postamt dovecot: imap(lehnertr): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4104a) [0xb75cc04a] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x410bb) [0xb75cc0bb] -> /usr/local/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_fatal+0)

Hi all, are there any pitfalls known for the migration from 2.0.18 to 2.1? Can I simply stop dovecot, make install and start again? --Frank Elsner

Hi! I upgraded the 2.2 packages today (from 2:2.2.28-1~auto+5 to 2:2.2.28-1~auto+8) I now I'm getting an error: Mar 20 13:25:58 mproxy dovecot: auth: Error: imapc(email.charite.de:993): Couldn't initialize SSL context: Can't verify remote server certs without trusted CAs (ssl_client_ca_* settings) I checked, and alas, I had ssl_client_ca_dir = ssl_client_ca_file = So I set:

I'm thinking of migrating from 1.1.7 (default RPM on SUSE 11.1) to 2.0.6 compiled from source using the default locations. Any Gotchas to expect that are different to an upgrade from 1.2? Any hints from moving from RPM to compiling from source and retaining the default configuration under /usr/local? TIA -- Brian Duffell RiscPC600 | VRPC Sa-Adjust RISC OS 6.10 96Mb Linux PCs

Today, I had to uncleanly shutdown one of our machines due to an error in 2.6.28.3.

I'm seeing the first occurence of that problem on the 10th of october! I was using (prior to the 10th) : 2.3.0~alpha0-1~auto+371 On the 10th I upgraded (16:04) to:

During norml operation this morning we're seeing a significantly increased load on the IMAP server (factor 5, from 5 to 25). Does dovecot need to rebuild index files or perform other IO intensive operations after the upgrade? We're using Maildir Our monitoring shows increased "system" time. We're runnign fewer processes, the IO rate ist identical to yesterday, memory usage

3 years ago (!) I aksed about this and finally I implemented it today: >> # NEW >> passdb { >> driver = passwd >> # firstname.lastname at charite.de:password:uid:gid:(gecos):home:(shell):user=realloginname >> args = /usr/local/etc/dovecot.login_via_email >> } >If you're only using it as a passdb, you don't need the uid/gid/home.

How exactly is LMTP proxying supposed to work? According to the example on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy I'm only seeing "proxy" in the password_query statements. But LMTP never sends a password. IMAP Proxying is working OK: Sep 24 12:51:09 imap-login: Info: proxy(ralf.hildebrandt at charite.de): started proxying to dovecot.charite.de:993:

One of our squid proxies crashed today. I was able to make a screenshot of it's last utterings - and since ext3 is being mentioned there, I thought I'd mention it here: http://www.arschkrebs.de/images/proxy-cbf-2-crash.png # uname -a Linux proxy-cbf-2 2.6.21 #1 SMP Thu Apr 26 11:17:54 CEST 2007 i686 GNU/Linux # mount /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 on / type auto (rw,errors=remount-ro) tmpfs on

Hey, I have several thousand email addresses, the vast majority of which are definitely no good, and I want to figure out which are good. So I will send out an email to all the email addresses. By making a list of the ones that bounced, and comparing that list with the full list, I can determine which are still good. This is for a non-profit association -- I am not in the spam business.
