Hi. I recently mentioned in several posts, that I'd tended to use mbox rather than maildir, because you don't loose so much space (due to always allocating full blocks per maildir file and thus per mail). I made some tests of my archive, which consists of some 3,4 million mails at a total of 42GB). Most of these mails are probably normal sized, but there are also some with bigger

Hi, on a clustered Dovecot server installation that was recently moved from a shared GPFS filesystem to GFS2, occasional corruptions in the users' INBOXes started appearing, where a new incoming message would be appended directly after a block of NUL bytes, and be scanned by dovecot as being glued to the preceding message. I traced this to the file extension operation performed in

Bill Venables expected howls of protest about deprecation of underscore for assign. Here's my one-and-only howl on this point: (1) I don't like <- as an assignment operator, because it creates an ambiguity with comparisons: I can write "x+1", "x-1", "x<1" but not "x<-1". However, I guess it's a bit much to expect the entire R/S

Since I am using dovecot I do not have courier installed, but Courier had a very handy tool for making maildir folders called `maildirmake` which I used in some automated backup scripts. How do I duplicate maildirmake in dovecot? for example: #!/bin/bash # v1.2a Testing for new dovecot install # Archive mail from folders without [0-9]{4} Maildirs # after they are 21 days old to a yearly folder

Hello, I'm configurating dovecot 1.0.3 on debian etch. While trying to set public folders, y decided to have the index and control files on the users homes. those homes are mounted by nfs, with disabled access to root. In that scenario, I'm getting the errors i transcribe next: Aug 16 11:21:17 server dovecot: IMAP(user):

Folks I have a new laptop running Centos 6.2 64-bit. I'd like to put a virtual machine running Windows 7 (licensed), with full audio/video functions, and good response. Which virtual system would you recommend? I can think of KVM, or VirtualBox, or ...? The "good response" requirement pretty much excludes a web-style video presentation. Opinions solicited.

Hi all, one of our clients have three branch offices currently connected by ADSL lines. they are using Cisco 827-4V units with the FXS ports connected to their aging PBX units. I am thinking of installing an * server in the head office, maybe with an analogue FXO card connected to the PSTN so field officers in Melbourne can call sydney for a local call price. The question is - what Digium

I have a project using Git on machine A. I'm running a Centos server on machine B. I'd like to "publish" the project on machine B (mainly for my own use, so I can access it from various sites). I've asked about this on a Git mailing list, but haven't understood the replies. In particular, a couple of people suggested gitolite, but when I examined this I couldn't make

We have a bunch of old Lexmark T63x printers connected to our LAN. These are accessed via IPP from our CentOS hosts and via TCP for our MicroSoft work stations. Both connections have worked without problems for years. This past week one of the T632s was replaced and since that time we cannot get either IPP or TCP to work with it from our CentOS hosts. It continues to work for the Windows

I have a remote home server updated to CentOS-7.2.1511 (as stated in /etc/redhat-release) but I have not re-booted since the update. The machine is currently running kernel 3.10.0-229.11.1.el7.x86_64. I'm wondering if anyone has advice on any safety steps I can take before re-booting, so that in the event of failure I can give simple instructions to my daughter at the other end on how to get

My home server is running CentOS-7.1 I'm running postfix and dovecot on it. I collect email from a few sources with fetchmail and move it to ~/Maildir/cur/ with procmail. Or at least, I did do this. For some reason procmail has stopped doing its job, and the email that I collect is finishing in /var/spool/mail/tim/ I can't work out what has caused this, or what the cure is. I haven't
