Hi, I was wondering what would be entailed in modifying dovecot 2.2 to support storing mail in an object store. I've seen a few mails dotted around in the ML history about supporting such a thing and seen it's basically dependant upon some changes in lib-storage to support writing messages without locking. Is this still the case? Regards, Damien

I am looking for something that is similar to replication, but without a second server. I currently have a system setup using postfix bcc to write out copies of all email, but what I would rather do is just have all the mail written to /usr/local/virtual/%u/Maildir and also to /backup/usr/local/virtual/%u/Maildir (for example) as this will make restoring messages much simpler. -- Gods don't

Hello, I'd like to find a function in the sourcecode which enables me to get the chroot-path of the mailstore, so I can concatenate it with the result of mail_storage_get_mailbox_path to get the full path of a mailbox within the filesystem. Does such a function exist? Who can help me? Thanks in advance. Stefan -- SIEGNETZ.IT GmbH { w3o-services } Schneppenkauten 1a D-57076 Siegen

Hello, I have recently changed imap from Courier-imap to dovecot because of serial problems with courier-imap, I have being forced to do it very quickly... and without extensives tests. I have 3 mails servers (freebsd based) behind a load balancer and a nfs mailstore on a netapp. On my first tests I have setup the index into some nfs shared mount, but it seems that some imap clients are

HI All, We have a couple of dovecot director proxies and six backed mailstores each accessing mailboxes stored on five NFSv4 filsystems with about 1TB of mail on each in maildir format.? We have about 800 max users on each mailstore at peak times and performance appears to starting to degrade at these times.? The mailstores are pretty recent hardware with 64GB of RAM and 24 cores.?? The NFS

Hi guys, I'm looking at the possibility of running a pair of servers with Dovecot LDA/imap/pop3 using internal drives with DRBD and GFS (or other clustered FS) for the mail storage and ext3 for the root drive. I'm currently using maildrop for delivery and Dovecot imap/pop3 with the stores over NFS. I'm looking for better performance but still keeping the HA element I have now with

I am using qmail-ldap to provide virtual users to my system, but I also have some shell users on the system as well. Virtual users go into /home/vmail/mailstore/$username/ System users go into /home/$username/Maildir How can I have both of these available as inboxes in dovecot using ldap logins? Do I need to use namespaces or am i missing something with default_mail_env? Thanks, -- Brian T

Hi All, I have dsync mirror command working between a standalone dovecot server and a backend mailstore in a Dovecot Director setup.?? Is it safe to do the dsync directly to the backend mailstore in this setup? It doesn't seem to work via the director proxy. Thanks Murray

Hi All, We are using Dovecot in a Director setup with two director proxies, six backend mailstores, mailbox storage in NFS, and user accounts stored in LDAP.?? Currently we have five NFS filesystems on EMC VNX storage which are all mounted on each of the six backend mailstores.?? At the moment all users could be directed to any of the six mailstores.? We have a group of users with very large
