Hi list, I have home made program, which uses File Alteration Monitor library to watch samba log files for new file creation in samba share directory. This technique works fine when I use GNU/Linux machine as client and it fails when I use Windows machine as client. The cause of failure is, samba server creates different pattern of logs and sometimes it does not create log entries on new file

I am trying to create a messaging system for my users but I''m having a hard time designing my db.

I just got a Google Groups notification that I had been subscribed to http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk. Looking at the page, it appears that about 4300 folks have been subscribed. However, I saw nothing about this on rails@lists.rubyonrails.org. Wazzup? -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume rdm@cfcl.com

Hi folks, I use isync, an IMAP sync tool (Debian package isync 0.9.2-2) together with dovecot (dovecot-imapd 0.99.10.8-0.backports.org.1). Everytime when isync wants to upload a new mail from the client to the server I got messages like this: Mailbox outbox Selecting IMAP mailbox... >>> 16 SELECT "outbox" * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS

Hi Dovecot People, i have switched my system from courier-imap to dovecot and iam quite happy with it, the performance is well and i had nearly no problems. One little feature iam missing is in Courier i had a folder called "Outbox" there i could paste mails which i want to sent out. In some networks its not always available to sent mails via port 21, i know i could just set up my

Hi, I'm implementing a shell-script (pseudo) solution to the missing IMAP Outbox feature in Dovecot (Courier IMAP feature http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/INSTALL.html#imapsend) In order to remove the message from the Outbox once it is sent I have a question: What is the recommended way to delete a message from a mailbox (from an "external" server side program - such as a shell

I'm trying to find out what's causing this slowdown -- it's INTOLERABLE.... over 1 minute and less than 1% done. (400MB file)... After trying 3 times, I gave up and logged in using X to the server and ran Tbird from there.... Mail sent out in < 1 minute, though the copy to dovecot took about 50% longer. So... I looked at the network trace. and everyfrackin' body was

Hello. This isn't actually a dovecot question, but I'm running in clienys servers dovecot mostly as pop3 server and now started to migrate some servers to imap. But as clients uses Outlook Express how to transfer their pop3 settings and mailboxes to imap?. Making a new mail account for imap is easy, and drag & drop the default folders (inbox, outbox etc) messages to imap accounts

Sorry for that! I was offline during writing my answer to your mail and so it left my outbox after the advice from Sami. The solution works well when using passwd userdbs only. I didn?t get it running in conjunction with ldap userdb. I tried to use an LDAP attribute and mapping it to userdb_acl_globals_only and another try with acl_globals_only. Both attributes were not considered by the lookup.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm trying to convert a courier-imap installation over to using Dovecot, but I'm having some problems with Mail.app on OS X. FTR, we use both Mail.app and Thunderbird. Note that in the Mail.app preferences, I have a blank IMAP Path Prefix. I'm using Dovecot 1.0_rc15 on Gentoo, and Mail.app from OS X 10.4.8, Thunderbird 1.5.0.9.

It seems that there is no standard for folder names that deal with typical message classes such as drafts, outbox, sent, spam etc. At least there's no common sense on a naming convention that tells how client should handle this. Worse than this, most IMAP clients auto-create folders according to their own naming convention if they don't exist. Every client introduces its own view. Users

Can anyone here help me out with a client side Outlook issue? I know outlook is a horrible imap client :( We intermittently have a problem where mail gets "stuck" in Outlook users' outboxes. Might have anything to do with dovecot? Is there anyway I can troubleshoot this server side? Are there any settings I can tweak? We have a new and an old dovecot server (see below) and both

Hello, The last weekend, the VM with CentOS 7 (kernel-3.10.0-327.28.2.el7.x86_64) was running with 2.5GB of used memory, but without users connected, and heavy services running.

Is it possible to use Dovecot frontends in front of UWash backends? I need a proxy pool ASAP. There is not sufficient time to migrate the backends for 40,000+ users so they have to stay UW for now. I have been looking at Perdition but concerned about performance under load. Dovecot looks really promising with it's non-forking mode. I need simple dumb frontends no local mail. Other

Hi Does anyone know of any R routines to send emails from R, under Windows? I thought about writing such a facility using the R(D)COM package to drive e.g. MS Outlook, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I have found a function Sys.mail in the library syskern, but this only works under Unix by shelling out a mail command. Thanks, David
