similar to: Upgrading dovecot 1.0.7 -> 2.0.14 / Redhat EL 5.7

Hi, we still have our solid rock dovecot 1.0.7 Redhat el 5.x up and running. We don't need much magic or special setups. However we'd like to think what might be the next step in upgrading our setup. Each user one mbox mailbox. About 500 imap/pop3 accounts, 400GB data. First of all: to what version is a good step from 1.0? Can we get a rpm from e.g. atrpms repository? Dose anyone has

Hi, did anybody did an update from 1.x -> 2.x yet? I'D like to use the rpm from http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/ May be someone has some suggestions? Regards .

Hi, currently I have one new user with a problem. When she logs in to dovecot with pop3 from her apple mail, dovecot tells problems with the +w permission. Error: open(/var/mail/******) failed: Permission denied (euid=3462(******) egid=548(dozenten) missing +w perm: /var/mail) /var/mail is rw by root.mail I cant see why just this particular user has that problem/gets that messages. AFAIK no

HI, recently I noticed, that our dovecot server (RH EL 5.7 dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5_7.1) 'fires' up a lot of imap processes only for one user. I counted 214 :-) most of tham in the 'S' state and are started nearly at the same time within 5 minutes. Usually users do have about 4 to 10 .... Dose anyone has an idea, what could be the cause? Thanks for any suggestion and best regards .

Hi, I'm sorry to bug you with an not directly dovecot related question, but this is for me right now the place with the best mailsystem admins I know. I'm asked if there is a way to save a copy of all mail we send trough our sendmail server (Red Hat EL 5.x) in and out as an .eml file for further processing by a DMS system. The files should be saved on some network share. Any suggestion

Hi, recently I checked our mailserver for some more tuning and optimizing and noticed, that currently I do have 487 imap-login processes and I'm asking myself if that's o.k. We do have about 1.000 user in total and not everybody is currently logged in. May be this is o.k. but if not, what might I check? We run the dovecot package provided by redhat EL 5.8 dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5_7.1

Hi, we still run a Red Hat EL 6.x samba-3.6.9-151 PDC with domain login, roaming profiles, Windws 7 clients and LDAP back end. In the last couple of weeks we notice some unregular crashes with abrt reports. But as an university our RH subscription dose not include the full support. I cant see any changes to the installation or configuration which might have an influence to the chrashes. So any

Hi, one more LVM thing: on one server some LVM stores are physically removed but still there are some informatione somwher spread adcross teh server. e.g. if I do a vgdisplay or pvcreat I get an error regarding that old storage: /dev/raid_10/lvol0: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 14000515383296: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler How can I remove all information? Thanks for any hint. Regards . G?tz

Thank you for clarifying this, Johan. Very much appreciated!

Hi, I do have an iscsi storage with two raidsets. I'm logged in to the target and get two devices: /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. After formatting the devices with ext4 I realised, that I had used a wrong label, so I tried to relabel the devices. But now I'm confused: doing a e2label /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc returns always the same label name for both devices. so I did "e2label /dev/sdb

Hi, some time ago I removed some physical disks from a server and now I'm still getting dmesg messages like: sd 0:2:2:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00040001 end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 0 And all lvm tools still grumbel about that disks too: /dev/sdb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler /dev/sdb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 1746969493504:

Hi, we still run dovecot 1.2.17 and upgrading is not planed for some time. But I'm asked to install a sieve system to be used with SOGo soon. What do I have to install / configure? Is installing/configuring the dovecot-sieve-0.1.19 and dovecot-managesieve-0.11.13 enough? We still use mostly the default settings for imaps/pop3s. And of course configure SOGo. Thanks for any feedback.

Hi Johan, Does systemd also overrule /etc/my.conf? Thx! Carl On Wed, 29 Apr 2015 14:58:52 +0200 Johan Kooijman wrote: > Gotz, > > This is due to systemd, it overrules your settings.

Hi, I do a tgz-backup some maildir-folders with n*1000 off files and a lot of GB in storage. The backuped maildirs are removed after the tar. My assumption was, that the free diskspace should be bigger after that, but from what I get with df, it looks like I'm loosing space. Currently the tgz is saved on the same disk/mountpoint. Any hint, why removing the maildirs dont free diskspace as

Hi, may be somewon has a working solution and information on that: I installed the most recent mysql community on a server and do get a lot of "errno: 24 - Too many open files". There are suggestions to increase the open_files_limit, change/add that to /etc/security/limits.conf and modify the systemd script by hand. Depending on how you start mysql (restart, or at systemboot time

Hi, we have a storageserver (Centos 6.4) with a dualport Intel 10G X520-2 Adapter. A QSan P600Q-D316 Storage is configured with 8*SATA Drives raid 5 for test, connected trought a Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect 10G Switch. I formated the storage with ext4 defaults, one volume and got r/w rates about 10MB/s some up to 40MB/s .... VERY POOR.... So we returned the storage to our dealer

Hi, it's time to start our redundant dhcp server setup and I found some suggestions and tutorials. But all setups I found use either static or nonstatic ip adress management. For the static setup I'd setup two servers and copy the configfile from the 'master' to the secondary server and do a dhcpd restart. For the nonstatic I have to setup pool and failover peer configurations

Gotz, This is due to systemd, it overrules your settings. Add a file to systemd config fixes it: [root at mysql2 ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d/limits.conf [Service] LimitNOFILE=10000 LimitMEMLOCK=10000 On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 8:31 AM, G?tz Reinicke - IT Koordinator < goetz.reinicke at filmakademie.de> wrote: > Hi, > > may be somewon has a working solution and

Carl, By default my.cnf has to obey the OS limits, so in this case the order is: systemd > /etc/security/limits* > /etc/my*. On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 3:22 PM, Carl E.
