similar to: 487 imap-login processes - is this ok

HI, recently I noticed, that our dovecot server (RH EL 5.7 dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5_7.1) 'fires' up a lot of imap processes only for one user. I counted 214 :-) most of tham in the 'S' state and are started nearly at the same time within 5 minutes. Usually users do have about 4 to 10 .... Dose anyone has an idea, what could be the cause? Thanks for any suggestion and best regards .

Hi, I'm sorry to bug you with an not directly dovecot related question, but this is for me right now the place with the best mailsystem admins I know. I'm asked if there is a way to save a copy of all mail we send trough our sendmail server (Red Hat EL 5.x) in and out as an .eml file for further processing by a DMS system. The files should be saved on some network share. Any suggestion

Hi, recently I debugged some load and performance and 'log out' problems and found an error in the dovecot logs: Error: pipe() failed: Too many open files Googling around and reading some posts led to the conclusion, that my problem is a bug, which will not be removed. So I'm thinking of upgrading to the latest prebuild rpm from here: http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/

Hi, we still have our solid rock dovecot 1.0.7 Redhat el 5.x up and running. We don't need much magic or special setups. However we'd like to think what might be the next step in upgrading our setup. Each user one mbox mailbox. About 500 imap/pop3 accounts, 400GB data. First of all: to what version is a good step from 1.0? Can we get a rpm from e.g. atrpms repository? Dose anyone has

Hi, currently I have one new user with a problem. When she logs in to dovecot with pop3 from her apple mail, dovecot tells problems with the +w permission. Error: open(/var/mail/******) failed: Permission denied (euid=3462(******) egid=548(dozenten) missing +w perm: /var/mail) /var/mail is rw by root.mail I cant see why just this particular user has that problem/gets that messages. AFAIK no

Hi, did anybody did an update from 1.x -> 2.x yet? I'D like to use the rpm from http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/ May be someone has some suggestions? Regards .

Hi, one more LVM thing: on one server some LVM stores are physically removed but still there are some informatione somwher spread adcross teh server. e.g. if I do a vgdisplay or pvcreat I get an error regarding that old storage: /dev/raid_10/lvol0: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 14000515383296: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler How can I remove all information? Thanks for any hint. Regards . G?tz

Hi, I do have an iscsi storage with two raidsets. I'm logged in to the target and get two devices: /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. After formatting the devices with ext4 I realised, that I had used a wrong label, so I tried to relabel the devices. But now I'm confused: doing a e2label /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc returns always the same label name for both devices. so I did "e2label /dev/sdb

Hi, we still run dovecot 1.2.17 and upgrading is not planed for some time. But I'm asked to install a sieve system to be used with SOGo soon. What do I have to install / configure? Is installing/configuring the dovecot-sieve-0.1.19 and dovecot-managesieve-0.11.13 enough? We still use mostly the default settings for imaps/pop3s. And of course configure SOGo. Thanks for any feedback.

Hi, I do have two DNS servers running bind 9.7.3. One master, one slave. If I add/update a record on the master, it takes up to more or less 20 hours until that change is transferred to the slave. That is a long time for me :-) May be I got some settings wrong which would sync much faster ... ? What could be wrong? What might I check? Thanks for any suggestion and hint! Regards . G?tz --

Hi, some time ago I removed some physical disks from a server and now I'm still getting dmesg messages like: sd 0:2:2:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x00040001 end_request: I/O error, dev sdc, sector 0 And all lvm tools still grumbel about that disks too: /dev/sdb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler /dev/sdb: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 1746969493504:

Hi, it's time to start our redundant dhcp server setup and I found some suggestions and tutorials. But all setups I found use either static or nonstatic ip adress management. For the static setup I'd setup two servers and copy the configfile from the 'master' to the secondary server and do a dhcpd restart. For the nonstatic I have to setup pool and failover peer configurations

Thank you for clarifying this, Johan. Very much appreciated!

Hi, in one server I do have a SSD raid 1 size 219GB. df shows 9.4 GB free, 198GB used. If I do "du -sch * | sort -h -r" on /, I just have close to 3.5GB used .... Any hints, what's eating up the space? Centos 6.6, fs = ext4. regards .

Gotz, This is due to systemd, it overrules your settings. Add a file to systemd config fixes it: [root at mysql2 ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/mariadb.service.d/limits.conf [Service] LimitNOFILE=10000 LimitMEMLOCK=10000 On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 8:31 AM, G?tz Reinicke - IT Koordinator < goetz.reinicke at filmakademie.de> wrote: > Hi, > > may be somewon has a working solution and

Carl, By default my.cnf has to obey the OS limits, so in this case the order is: systemd > /etc/security/limits* > /etc/my*. On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 3:22 PM, Carl E.

Hi, I do a tgz-backup some maildir-folders with n*1000 off files and a lot of GB in storage. The backuped maildirs are removed after the tar. My assumption was, that the free diskspace should be bigger after that, but from what I get with df, it looks like I'm loosing space. Currently the tgz is saved on the same disk/mountpoint. Any hint, why removing the maildirs dont free diskspace as

Hi, I installed proftpd from Centos repository to my Centos 6.3 server. Iptables and selinux are off; I do have one unix user which can ssh and login to the server. I do use the default config and cant login to the ftp server (home directory of that user is all I want) :/ I use filezilla and Mac OS X native ftp access, both fails with incorrect login (530) WTF can be wrong? Or what may I have

Hi, we do have some subnetworks for private computers, which are allowed to use there public smtp servers like msn, web.de or whatever with the users private accounts. All our own computers have to send mail trough our mailserver with user authentication. From time to time we are faced with the fact, that a virus infected private notebook sends spam and we are told by our ISP to take care :)
