Hello, We have one user who is complaining that he has lost mails from 3 imap folders, administered through squirrelmail. The folders suddenly appeared unregistered, and once manually registered they were empty. Has anyone observed something like this? We are running two servers (as VMs) with Dovecot v2.2.18, synced (two-way) using dsync. The configurations follow. Can you please help me

Hi, I've upgraded from 2.0.13 to 2.1.1 and when I started the service, I got the following warning: Mar 21 10:07:23 imapserver dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.1.1 starting up (core dumps disabled) Mar 21 10:08:17 imapserverdovecot: auth: Warning: ldap: Ignoring changed user_attrs in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-passdb-ldap.conf, because userdb ldap not used.

Hello, I am running dovecot-2.0.13-1_128.el5 x86_64 RPM on CentOS 5.7 with the config shown below. All accounts are virtual, hosted on LDAP Server. My problem is that the quota warning mail is not sent as expected. For example, in the logs I get: Dec 12 08:42:40 vmail dovecot: lda(imaptester): Error: quota: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/quota-warning) failed: Permission denied

Hello, I am trying to switch from LDA to LMTP on a Postfix/Dovecot setup, but something is going wrong. I have followed the directions at: https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP Here is a session from dovecot.log: Aug 4 12:19:42 vmail2 dovecot: lmtp(3152): Connect from local Aug 4 12:19:42 vmail2 dovecot: auth: ldap(imaptester at noa.gr): unknown user Aug 4 12:19:42 vmail2

In our low-traffic server we have always kept the default value for IMAP mail_max_userip_connections (10). The server has been working fine! (Thank you Timo for this!) However, recently we have been having: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded errors both for IMAP and webmail users. Thus, we have now changed the value to 100. The questions: 1.Might this lead to

I am running two servers with Dovecot v2.2.12 on CentOS x86_64 (5.10 and 6.5 respectively) and users are virtual over ldap. I have setup our main internal server (vmail.example.com) with dsync replication according to the first part of http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Replication. The second one (vmail1.example.com) will be the failover server which we want to be a real-time mirror (but can be

Hello, I have setup v2.2.12 to mirror mailboxes between our main mail server (vmail.example.com) and a failover server (vmail1.example.com). The problem I have is the behavior of mailboxes used on the main server (*vmail*) over POP3. I have setup an IMAP account on the failover server (*vmail1*) on such a mailbox: the mailbox is used on vmail using POP3 and the same is monitored on vmail1

Hello, I am running dovecot-2.0.13-1_128.el5 x86_64 RPM on CentOS 5.7. All accounts are virtual, hosted on LDAP Server. My problem is that the command: doveadm quota get -A stopped listing all accounts. I think this problem started after I changed in LDAP lookup configuration from "scope = subtree" to "scope = onelevel", because it did not occur before (I did no

Hi, I am trying to use the command: doveconf -n -c dovecot-1.conf > dovecot-2.conf to upgrade my dovecot.conf file, but it fails (see below). Judging from the message that vsz_limit is the new setting for login_process_size, I have retried using login_process_size=256 rather than login_process_size=64 (which was the initial value), but the error persists. Please advise. Thanks, Nick

Hi, Lately I've seen a few examples of users hitting the vsz_limit (usually trying to "delete" mails i Spam/Junk by moving them to Trash with a large dovecot.index.cache - which resulted in mails left/leaked in the tmp directory of Trash. Sometimes it seems the client gets into a state were it repeatedly tried to sync the client and server state so it does it again and again,

You could also add it as setting for the fts_xapian plugin parameters?

Seems I had forgotten that you can use src/lib/restrict.h, in particular, restrict_get_process_size() to figure out the limit. You can combine this with getrusage to find out current usage.

Duh... src/lib/restrict-process-size.h Should be in the installed include files as well, /usr/include/dovecot/restrict-process-size.h Aki > On 06/11/2020 15:56 Joan Moreau <jom at grosjo.net> wrote: > > > Hello > I can't find "src/lib/restrict.h" .

Latest Mercurial seems to miss defaults for some services e.g. 'managesieve' and 'lmtp'. Example error message upon start: dovecotdoveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: service(managesieve-login): vsz_limit is too low failed! Regards Thomas
