Hi -- Today, I've learned who to disable incoming mail delivery to dovecot (accepted by postfix), temporarily. Now, I would like to know if there is a way to make a "doveadm kick -A" a permanent disconnect until one would allow reconnects, again? This should be done *without* shutting down dovecot or *extensive* re-configuration. A "doveadm block -u <joe> -m 'sorry:

I'm thinking of migrating from 1.1.7 (default RPM on SUSE 11.1) to 2.0.6 compiled from source using the default locations. Any Gotchas to expect that are different to an upgrade from 1.2? Any hints from moving from RPM to compiling from source and retaining the default configuration under /usr/local? TIA -- Brian Duffell RiscPC600 | VRPC Sa-Adjust RISC OS 6.10 96Mb Linux PCs

Hi! I upgraded the 2.2 packages today (from 2:2.2.28-1~auto+5 to 2:2.2.28-1~auto+8) I now I'm getting an error: Mar 20 13:25:58 mproxy dovecot: auth: Error: imapc(email.charite.de:993): Couldn't initialize SSL context: Can't verify remote server certs without trusted CAs (ssl_client_ca_* settings) I checked, and alas, I had ssl_client_ca_dir = ssl_client_ca_file = So I set:

Due to the ongoing performance issues with 2.0.x I switched back to 1.2.15 yesterday evening, with no changes to the machine or my users. (I migrated from 1.2.15 to 2.0.x by converting the existing config) Today, we have MUCH LESS load, with the same number of logins/min. I cannot say what exactly causes this immense increase in load, but one observation is that the time spent in system() has

During norml operation this morning we're seeing a significantly increased load on the IMAP server (factor 5, from 5 to 25). Does dovecot need to rebuild index files or perform other IO intensive operations after the upgrade? We're using Maildir Our monitoring shows increased "system" time. We're runnign fewer processes, the IO rate ist identical to yesterday, memory usage

Hi all, are there any pitfalls known for the migration from 2.0.18 to 2.1? Can I simply stop dovecot, make install and start again? --Frank Elsner

After upgrading from 2.2.28-1~auto+45 to 2.2.29-1~auto+25 I'm gettings this: May 31 16:44:31 mproxy dovecot: auth: Fatal: passdb imap: Cannot verify certificate without ssl_ca_dir or ssl_ca_file setting May 31 16:44:31 mproxy dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 8 secs May 31 16:44:31 mproxy dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken

Hey, I have several thousand email addresses, the vast majority of which are definitely no good, and I want to figure out which are good. So I will send out an email to all the email addresses. By making a list of the ones that bounced, and comparing that list with the full list, I can determine which are still good. This is for a non-profit association -- I am not in the spam business.

Hi Aki, could you maybe disable the 'edit on doubleclick' feature on wiki2.dovecot.org? Everytime I try to select a word by double clicking on it, I end up in editing mode. It's just a minor thing, but maybe I'm not the only one who's annoyed by this ;) Thanks! Michael
