Hello, I have to migrate 3 server based on debian from physical to Xen (fully virtualized). For doing this I use clonezilla. With vmware no problem, but when I restore image in Xen I have the problem that the HVM BIOS of CentOS 5.3 cannot boot from SCSI device (sda in my situation). If I set the virtual disk like hda no problem but the original disk was sda and I need to boot from sda. How can

Hi here's a little trick to migrate from courierimapsubscribed to subscriptions: create a file /usr/local/bin/courier-dovecot-subscribe-migrate like this: #!/bin/sh # WARNING: Be sure to use mail_drop_priv_before_exec=yes, # otherwise the files are created as root! if [ -e ~/Maildir/courierimapsubscribed ] then cat ~/Maildir/courierimapsubscribed | sed -e 's/INBOX\.//' >

Hello, i'm using in my installation qmail+vpopmail and now I have migrated from courier-imap to dovecot. Dovecot is very much faster with large mailbox than courier-imap. But I have a problem. vpopmail has a feature that allows you to "Disable non webmail IMAP access", many webmail using imap as if they were, and they are, a client IMAP. vpopmail give me the ability to

Hi, in some installation where users using IMAP and Outlook Express I have some problems. Outolook randomly presents problems in messages retrieving, for example: "Outlook Express is unable to retrieve the requested message because the server no longer has the message available.... server response: Fecth Completed" or "Message could not be displayed" error message when

Hi, i'm testing Dovecot LDA to works with qmail and vpopmail. I have added into a .qmail for a users this line: root at test.com: /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/0/test# cat .qmail | /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER This is my dovecont conf: # dovecot -n # 1.1.7: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.24-21-server x86_64 Ubuntu 8.04.1 log_path:

Hi Timo, I love dovecot but I love also vpopmail and its functions for manage user limits (via vmoduser). Unfortunately in dovecot 1.2.x auth default set to use "vpopmail" is unable to apply this limits. Only if used with checkpassword limits works fine but in the dovecot.log only user (without @domain) is logged. So, based on the code of dovecot 2.0, I have created this very

Hi, I'm running dovecot 2.1.17 with "Login processes" in "High-performance mode" as explained here: service imap-login { service_count = 1 http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LoginProcess but i thinks I should also set "service dict" in high-performance mode since sometimes the number of dict processes reach the limit of 100 (from default_process_limit=100) and I

Hi, I would like to enable mailbox sharing for my users. I'm using dovecot 2.1.9 with vpopmail authentication. For security reason shared mailboxes should be available only for users of the same domain. Dovecot's wiki suggest to enable acl like this: plugin { # assumes mailboxes are in /var/mail/%d/%n: acl_shared_dict = file:/var/mail/%d/shared-mailboxes.db } but in vpopmail,

Hi, I'm testing dovecot 2.1.0, on Debian 6.0, with "passdb driver = imap" and SASL for postfix's SMTP-Auth, like explained ih this howto: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL Authentications over IMAP (local dovecot -> remote dovecot) works fine, and it's great. Also smtp-auth on postfix (over SASL) works fine. But in the dovecot log I found this

Greetings - We are running Dovecot 1.1.11 on our servers and have been gradually migrating people off our old (UW-based) systems onto the new (Dovecot-based) ones. As a result the new systems are seeing more connections from more people. We have started seeing problems reported by users of our webmail service that they are getting an error indicating the webmail software (Prayer) has failed to

Hi Timo/all Help me please, i am in the process of migrating courier to dovecot 1.1.14. I want to do migration as users loging so i am using this script * http://www.dovecot.org/tools/courier-dovecot-migrate.pl *, When i do use post-logging script to migrate* POP3*, its downloading messages again (*Duplicating messages)* , as some of our users prefer to leave messages on server. If i run the

Hi, I'm running every week in cron "doveadm expunge -A mailbox Spam before 30d" and monthly "doveadm quota recalc -A". After the upgrade to dovecot 2.2.12 (from 2.1.17), "doveadm -A" sometimes exit with this error: doveadm(user at domain.com): Error: User listing returned failure doveadm: Error: Failed to iterate through some users # echo $? 75 If I re-run

I'm currently runing UW-IMAP (compiled vanilla) with procmail and mbox and am making my usual careful crawl (at turtle speed) through figuring out DC config. Some questions: a) I have something like 3-4 root imapd sessions so I presume that the default *login_processes_count* = 3 will be OK. I'm less clear about login_max_processes_count and login_max_connections = 256. A common

Hi, I'm running CentOS 6.5 as NFS server (v3 and v4) and exporting Ext4 and XFS filesystem. After many months that all works fine today the server crash: Jan 30 09:46:13 qb-storage kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Jan 30 09:46:13 qb-storage kernel: WARNING: at lib/list_debug.c:26 __list_add+0x6d/0xa0() (Not tainted) Jan 30 09:46:13 qb-storage kernel: Hardware name: PowerEdge

Hi, during the weekend I upgrade my mail servers from dovecot 2.1.13 to dovecot 2.1.14 (and rebuild dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.3). After upgrade all works fine, but today the load avarage un MXs is doubled. Mailboxes are in Maildir/ on NFS and I'm using dovecot as LDA and dict quota only for quota usage. May be a problem with the new version? This is my configuration: $ ./configure

Hi, on dovecot 2.1.14 and pigeonhole-0.3.3 after creating a default.sieve like this: require ["vnd.dovecot.duplicate", "fileinto", "mailbox"]; if duplicate { fileinto "Trash"; } I have two strange errors, one is many of this error in lda.log: Feb 19 14:43:17 lda(info at domain.com): Error:

Hi, I have test dovecot on one of my pop3/imap proxies (from rc10 to rc15). I immediately get a lot of error messages like this one : Nov 27 15:10:45 mproxy1 dovecot: pop3-login: file client.c: line 423 (client_unref): assertion failed: (client->destroyed) Nov 27 15:10:45 mproxy1 dovecot: child 21677 (login) killed with signal 6 A lot means one every 2 or 3 seconds. Any suggestion ?

Hi, Thank you for pointing me about -xc99 flag, I have compiled and installed dovecot inplace of version 1.0.5 without any special actions on the upgrade. And after starting it immediately got in it's log file messages like: --- dovecot: Oct 16 23:10:18 Error: IMAP(seriv): file_set_size() failed with index cache file /var/spool/imap/seriv/.imap/.git-altlinux-ru/dovecot.index.cache: Invalid

Hi, I'm using dict quota with mysql for track them via SQL query instead of read maildirsize file. Primary quota and enforcing is provided via userdb and is "maildir" type. Since dovecot 2.1.10-13 (but perhaps even before) when a new user log in via POP/IMAP or receive an email for the first time dovecot created the entry for the users in the table "quota" of dovecot
