Hello, today our dovecot imap server died. The following message appeared in the logfile: dovecot: Mar 23 07:00:58 Error: pipe() failed: Too many open files We have one dovecot instance for pop3 and one for imap, so while the pop3-service was still available, the imap-service was not running any more. I've seen a lots of users keeping there imap-connections idle for hours, often more

Hello, from a server where neither a rsync daemon nor ssh is running I'm trying to backup the whole data with ftp. So my idea was to call rsync like this: rsync -v -a 'ftp://1.2.3.4/' my_folder But this gives me: ftp: unknown host ftp: unknown host ftp: Unknown host rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code

Hello, I found a posting on the mailing list from 2008 "Adding new storage backend to Dovecot" while searching for POP3 and IMAP servers, that allow to use a NoSQL backend rather than a traditional file system. The problem with traditional filesystems is, that they are very limited. You cannot easily extend it, even with RAID 10 all messages may be lost due to a RAID controller

Hey list, Sorry for all the questions today. But I am trying to wrap up this ftp business and still having some issues. I appreciate your input. SELinux is temporarily disabled (until I can work this all out) and I am now able to log into the FTP server. [root at LCENT05:~] #/usr/bin/ftp localhost Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1). 220 FTP Server ready. Name (localhost:root): bluethundr

Hello list! Well I have delved back into my proftpd config in the hopes of resolving my issues and having a working server. :) I believe I have the passive mode issue that I was expereriencing last time mostly worked out. But there are still a couple of things going on with this config that I was hoping to run by you in hopes of finding a solution. If I execute an ftp session on localhost

Hello list, I was able to get passive mode worked out. I'm really glad I was able to do this. I'm able to log into the ftp server, list directories, enter subdirectories and upload/download files. However my next task is to enable virtual users using mysql. I have installed proftpd-mysql and enabled the sql modules in the config. I found a good article on how to do this here:

Hello, I noticed, that whenever I install a package on CentOS 5.x, rpms for multiple architectures are installed: yum install sqlite-devel Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: centos.intergenia.de * updates: centos.intergenia.de * addons: centos.intergenia.de * extras: centos.intergenia.de base 100%

Hello, I've heard of both and I already tested and installed both, but I'm not sure which one is better, since both just seem to work and I can't see a difference, except from the point how it's set up and configured. Where are the drawbacks of each one, where are the benefits? I also tested cyrus before, but cyrus is not working well with maildirs. I'm not that into

Hello, for some reason dovecot doesn't start up. I'm using the default values in dovecot.conf, just changed the login_user, disabled ssl and ran sbin/dovecot, but nothing happens. No error's, I can't find any logs, no daemon anywhere, no ports bound... I don't know where to look and whatfor. I compiled with --enable-debug, but there's no extra output. Any ideas?

I'm setting up a ftp server. I need to be able to have people have a non interactive login through a web browser into a chrooted directory i.e. ftp://somewhere.com. I also need to have a URL that will auto login a user to a chrooted directory. These chrooted directories will be RO for all anonymous access. That said I also need to have a staff account that has upload rights to these

Hello list!! I am trying to setup very simple authentication for proftpd under centos 5.6. But for some reason it isn't working and I was hoping to get some advice into how to resolve the issue.

Hello, I'm a bit afraid of users, the might slow down the server because of search requests to the imap-server on very large mailboxes. Even with a performant index, this could cause a lot of cpu and i/o-load. Is it possible to include the login-name in the imap process, so that a "ps ax" doesn't just give "imap", but e.g. "imap test at example.com"?

Hello, is dotlock supposed to work with NFS? I noticed that the default-locking method causes problems even with nfslockd started. Regards Marten

Hello, is it possible the change the folder separator from "." to "/"? Users shall be able to have folders like "Junk/aol.com/*". Regards Marten

I am moving from a server from running Red Hat 7.2 (with ProFTP) to Centos 3 (with vsFTP). There is a setting in ProFTP that lets me set the default ftp login directory for a specific user and I would like to do the same with vsFTP. The reason being is I have a 'webadmin' user that I use for uploading web content. I am thinking I could make the home directory of the webadmin /var/www in

Hi, I'm working with dovecot 1.0.beta2 for pop3 only and have set index=memory, so no indizes are created on the disk. pop3_uidl_format is set to %f. The maildirs are located on an nfs-share. So generally, this setup is very similar to what qmail-popup and qmail-pop3d does. However, everytime I'm switching from qmail-pop3d to dovecot, the system load increases from less than 2 to more

For some reason proftpd stopped authentication for users. Anonymous access still works but when someone tries to access the server via their login it no longer authenticates them. I recently ran yum where proftpd was updated (that said, I'm not sure that caused the problem). I uninstalled the new version and and installed a prior version with no change. Below is a look at my config, a

Hello, I'm trying to do backups with rsync through ssh.
