Hello, If disk space and bandwidth are affordable (and from your setup it seems that they are affordable as you have everything locally) I would split the mail storage completely and use replication in between n-master servers (n=2 for your case). The replication is not yet fully tested, but Timo is actively working on this feature. The fear of lossing the imap session does not make sense (at

All, We have Dovecot 1.0-stable deployed in our 3000 users environment as of last weekend. Up untill now, I have 3 issues: - When stopping Dovecot with: kill -TERM `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid`, the 'dovecot' process itself dies, the 'imap-login' processes die, but the 'imap' processes (there are a lot of them) don't die, but become a zombie. I think the way

I don't want such mailbox. I have inbox namespace mail_location = maildir:/mailStorage/%Ld/%Ln:LAYOUT=fs namespace inbox { ? type = private ? separator = / ? prefix = ? inbox = yes } and another private namespace used for archiving namespace archive { ?prefix = archived/ ?inbox = no ?type = private ?location = maildir:/mailStorageArchive/%Ld/%Ln:LAYOUT=fs ?mailbox Archive { ?

Hello! somewhere in maillist I've seen RAID1+md concat+XFS being promoted as mailstorage. Does anybody in here actually use this setup? I've decided to give it a try, but ended up with not being able to recover any data off survived pairs from linear array when _the_first of raid1 pairs got down. thanks!

Hi, I have > 11 TB hard used Mailstorage, saved als maildir in ext3 on HP EVA. I always wanted to make some mesurements about several influences to the performance (switch to ext4, switch to mdbox), but I never had enough time to do that. At the moment I *need* more speed, we have too much waitI/O on the system and I already used all other performance and tuning-tricks (separated cache,

Hi, We have a server which is going to be a Samba file server and a Postfix server where the users will access their mail over IMAP. We normally prefer to use Maildir storage as it seems to be recommended over mailbox - for me, for example, I am subscribed to a dozen or so lists and have tens if not hundreds of thousands of emails on the server. The combination of Postfix and Courier-imap

I'm designing a system where some but not all groups of users want to share a single mailbox, i.e the user will not have there own inbox. I think this is possible by setting up a user database that returns the same mail location and possible the same home directory. This sharing would only occur in a single domain. Example User Database UserID | home | mail all at site1.example.com |

Fran and/or Matthias, Could you publish your doveconf -n? I can't get dovecot to authenticate with my AD. Maybe you have a solution I could try. What mail client(s) are you using? I assume by "AD 2003/8" You mean SBS2003/8 and are therefore using Outlook? --Mark -----Original Message----- > Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 17:22:34 +0200 > From: Matthias Lay <matthias.lay at

Hi All, Sorry to bother you again. I am not too familiar with IMAP yet, so maybe I am asking stupid questions. Here goes anyway: In our (Dovecot 1.0-stable) setup, we have two namespaces: the default namespace, which location is '/var/mailstore/1%u/%u' and the "Mailstorage" namespace, which location is '~/.Mailstorage/'. Now we create a folder called 'Test' in

Hi all I would like to know a bit more about illustrating an a4 page within R. Finally I would like to have a pdf with multiple pages containing some statistics. I'm already able to produce a pdf, containing a plot in the center of one a4 page. As a next step I would like to set a title on top of this a4 page (maybe with absolute positions, if not possible to set it relative?). The plots then

I have read already. Probably not so carefully but do not find any for multiple location option inside namespace.

Hi, I'm about getting to know dovecot in details, I am about the command "doveadm user". The man page shows this example: userdb: jane uid : 8001 gid : 8001 home : /home/jane mail : sdbox:~/sdbox plugins : sieve quota_rule: *:storage=150M It seems to be nice, however I never got this only: ~# doveadm

Hello all, If I have several postfix/dovecot-lda boxes with shared nfs storage, how director helps in this scenario? is it necesary to use lmtp instead of dovecot-lda? With postfix/dovecot-lda boxes incoming mail happens at the smtp layer but director redirects are working in the lmtp/imap/pop3 layer.

Hello, my dovecot installation has been working fine against AD till we upgrade from AD 2003 to AD 2008. As http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/LDAP said, now I'm not able to connect AD through 389 port. The port 3268 works fine though. (...)

In the ZFS Best Practises Guide here: http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide It says: ``Currently, pool performance can degrade when a pool is very full and file systems are updated frequently, such as on a busy mail server. Under these circumstances, keep pool space under 80% utilization to maintain pool performance.''''

Hi, I want some of my models to inherit from a custom ActiveRecord::Base class. Where is the best place to put this custom subclass? Actually, I just wanted to translate the default validate message so maybe there was a better thing to do than subclassing ActiveRecord::Base.

Hi folks I have here a CentOS box where i need to setup cronjob (with session to remote Oracle instance). On the remote DB i have no access, expect limited user. How to avoid putting passwords in shell scripts? The solution doesn't need to be perfect, only better than plain text passwords in scripts. Mostly remote host only support password authentication (no certificates and so on).

Dear All, I have a bit complex question about ldap based user/passdb with some twists caused by the LDAP schema I have to use. It's complex for me at least, since it's my first time to try to setup any dovecot install which is more than a "trivial" thing eg for some unix system users. What I'd like to do: Users are stored in LDAP with the following schema: storageMailUid:

hi all, I've been trying to use dovecot (from cvs 03.mar.2003, linux 2.2.20, gcc 2.96, openssl 0.9.7a) as an replacement for uw-imap, and it seems to be doing its job, except for one thing: I have my mua (sylpheed-claws from cvs) set up so that it will sort message into certain(imap) directories. so when I check the mail in the INBOX, new mails will be processed automatically and, for
