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

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, I'm working for tuning a busy cluster of dovecot servers. Heach server as 4 core, 8GB of RAM and provide POP3 and IMAP access to mailbox. OS is Debian 6.0 and dovecot version is 1.2.15. I am unsure how to set "login_max_processes_count" and "login_max_connections" for reach the best situation when login_process_per_connection is set to no. I don't know what

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 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\.//' >

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

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, 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

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'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, 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

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 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

I noticed that disabling services using vpopmail was not being recognized by dovecot. Using "vmoduser -swip user at domain.com" should disable all services, but both pop and imap logins were still allowed. After a bit of digging in the code and confirming with a few debug lines, it appears that lines 38 and 52 of src/auth/passdb-vpopmail.c are the issue (dovecot 2.0.8). These two

Hi, I have found this strange problem. I'm working with Debian 6, dovecot 2.1.9 and vpopmail-auth. LDA is configured and works fine but the problem is when the first message arrive "dovecot-lda" return a "Segmentation fault", the message is written to the user's Mailbox but the message remains, also, in the queue of qmail (deferral: Segmentation_fault/) and at the

Hi, I'm running dovecot 2.1.7 with vpopmail auth and Maildir on NFS (I have only one POP/IMAP server). All works fine but sometimes dovecot "imap" process crush and I would like to understand why: Error in log files: Dec 12 06:32:56 pop01eeh dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<info at mydomain.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=1.2.3.4, lip=192.168.1.3, mpid=4086,

Hi, i have qmail + vpopmail + dovecot + squirrelmail 0.99.14 on Fedora Core 4. Qmail includes its own pop3 server, and everybody is able to access it from outside. Dovecot is used only locally by SquirrelMail - so everybody can access via webmail. I'd like to make imap directly available from outside, but only for a few selected domains (NOT ip addresses!), while leaving everyone able to

I am working on setting up dovecot 2.2.12 with an installed qmail + vpopmail 5.5.0 base. So far I have not had much luck getting the auth to work with vpopmail. Does dovecot 2.2.12 work with vpopmail 5.5.0? So far when I try to authenticate I always get back User Unknown in the log. Thanks

Ive been using qmail+vpopmail+courier-imap for many years but its time to retire that server so I thought this might be an opportunity to see how I could use Postfix and Dovecot to provide the same services. Im running Dovecot 2.1.9 and Postfix 2.9.4. I have spent a few days reading through some of the docs on the wiki (there's doesn't seem to be any large overview of Dovecot concepts or
