Hello all, Following the Dovecot wiki and migration help, we recently migrated our core IMAP systems from Courier to Dovecot on Solaris. So far it's been working great, but I have one issue that I'm curious about. Just as the docs mention, we also use "syslog_facility = mail" for logging. Unlike in the past, failed PAM auth attempts are now getting logged as mail.error: Nov

While using 1.1.13 and squat with local pine imap on Solaris 9 I had a random core dump today. I was doing a search in a maildir folder with about 2000 emails. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce it yet, but I wanted to send along the info anyways. Environment: # uname -a SunOS 5.9 Generic_122300-39 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 Backtrace: http://pastebin.com/f7aa8bb5 ~#

Hello all, I recently started seeing these messages on the consoles of three production Centos 5.2 servers. They have been occurring nonstop for the past few days and show up routinely every five minutes. INIT: Id "snmp" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "snmp" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "snmp" respawning too fast:

Hi, I was just looking for some advice on avoiding getting DoS'd from brute force log in attempts. We came in this morning to find that one of our Solaris 9 dovecot severs had wedged overnight due to a brute force connection attempt to pop3 from Brasil. In the span of about 15 seconds we received 342 connection auth attempts from the same IP: Sep 3 00:10:51 xxxxx dovecot: [ID 583609

Hi all, I was just wondering when this update will trickle down into the Centos repo: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0611.html Obviously, it just came out yesterday, so I'm not expecting it to suddenly appear. ;) Just curious what the turn around time usually is for RHEL bug fixes that get released and when we should expect it. As a side note, does anyone know if there is a way

Quick question. How important are these? Are the errors recoverable and not a big deal, or are they actually a problem? I see a few of these randomly over the course of the day.

Hi, I was looking through the archives and wiki for something related to this, but all I keep coming up with are options for the prompt timeout and user input. Is there a way to change the default timeout for tftp in pxelinux? The be more specific, we use IP in HEX to network boot and it takes a very long time for pxelinux to timeout on GUID and MAC, before finally getting to HEX and

Does anyone know if dovecot support regex lookups for proxy/proxy_maybe, rather than mysql/ldap etc? I've been comparing it with perdition to see which one might be better for us to do layer7 username switching. Perdition supports the ability to not have any auth/db looks, but rather just a regex file that parses the usernames as they come in and forwards to the particular machine on the

Hi all, I just upgraded a couple of Fedora 9 workstations to try out 1.1.1 over NFS'd homedir's and I'm having trouble running dovecot in the same configuration we were with 1.0.14. It's fairly simple, we use pine/alpine and set a couple of variables to fork rimapd directly: * smtp-server=host (for the main mail machine) * user-domain=host (same) * set the

Hi all, I recently upgraded from courier to dovecot 1.1.12 on a Solaris 9 system with about 100 users. We have been testing dovecot for sometime in a mixed Linux/Solaris environment and are aware of the index endianess issue with multiple archs. To solve this, we run with INDEX=MEMORY (as seen in the docs) so that only Linux clients have anything to do with the indexes. We generally have

Hi all, I crawled through the archives for a bit but didn't see anything helpful, so I apologize if this has already been addressed. We've been dying to move from Courier to Dovecot across our whole infrastructure for quite some time, but until recently our setup wasn't possible until this happened: "Dovecot allows mailboxes and their indexes to be modified by multiple

Just wanted to mentioned that those of you who were having issues with unread messages in Thunderbird should see your problem fixed with TB 3.0.2 that was released today. http://www.rumblingedge.com/2010/02/25/thunderbird-3-0-2-released/ If you previously turned off CONDSTORE support, don't forget to enable it. -- ================================ David Halik System Administrator OIT-CSS

I'm not sure how useful this is with optimization turned back on, but here it is anyway. This was just a one off that happened last night: Jan 27 20:49:05 gehenna17.rutgers.edu dovecot: IMAP(user): fscking index file /rci/nqu/rci/u2/user/dovecot/.INBOX/dovecot.index Jan 27 20:49:05 gehenna17.rutgers.edu dovecot: IMAP(user): Panic: file mail-transaction-log-view.c: line 108

Timo (and anyone else who feels like chiming in), I was just wondering if you'd be able to tell me if the amount of corruption I see on a daily basis is what you consider "average" for our current setup and traffic. Now that we are no longer experiencing any core dumps with the latest patches since our migration from courier two months ago, I'd like to know what is expected

Please tell me about maillog Error.

Hi A datacenter I use provides mountable nfs shares that are provided through a subnet, the only person having access to the nfs share is me. If I do this: mount -t nfs 192.168.53.21:/USERNAME /mnt/share/ then I get the share: [root at hostname /mnt/share] #>ls -la total 12 drwxrwxrwx 2 nfsnobody nfsnobody 4096 Oct 9 18:04 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Oct 9 17:55 ..

The following manifest is causing an error/warning and permissions are not set. i do not understanding why: file { "/diskless/swaps": ensure => directory, owner => nfsnobody, group => nfsnobody, mode => 1777; } The error is: Fri Sep 21 14:53:05 EST 2007

Something I noticed on a 2.1.7 director test cluster (two directors, three backends): 'doveadm proxy kick user' will kick all connections for that user on that director only. Any additional connections on other directors will remain active unless the command is run on all directors. Are the proxy and director sub-commands intended to be separate and distinct in their operation? If so,

Hi list, this problem is already known and I'm sorry to bother if an acceptable workaround was already debated on the list. I was getting trouble with a 'grep something /var/log*' which caused the "Memory exhausted" message. With some deeper search I found the lastlog file in /var/log/ to be 1.2T sized. This seems to come from the nfsnobody's uid to be 4294967294 on

Hi all, I've run into an issue we have with dovecot versions 2.0.12 through 2.0.14 on latest CentOS 6.2 when dealing with Maildirs located on NFS partitions. Although I saw Mr. Egbert's thread, his resolution does not work on our end. When dealing with users with over 500 messages in any of their Maildir folders, they occasionally receive an error from the server: Internal error
