Hi! I am currently in the process of preparing a migration of our old Courier-based IMAP/POP server setup to a Dovecot-based one. During this process I came across the following problem with the difference Courier and Dovecot handle deleted messages and mail quota. Quote from http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/README.maildirquota.html: ,---- | The default application configuration that uses this

The sample provided config file (the one I started with by editing it) included the following text: # ------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------- > > # If there's a file /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf, which is part of > # dovecot-postfix package, it will be used instead of dovecot.conf. > > # Keep in mind that, if that file exist, none of the

Currently if user is 1MB under quota and someone tries to deliver mail that is over 1MB, Dovecot rejects the mail. But smaller mails aren't rejected probably for days. So user might not even realize that they didn't receive one of the mails. Also having a user "almost over quota" is a rather strange state I think. So what do you think about v2.2 allowing delivery of one last

Hi *, I am currently in the planning stage for a "new and improved" mail system at my university. Right now, everything is on one big backend server but this is causing me increasing amounts of pain, beginning with the time a full backup takes. So naturally, I want to split this big server into smaller ones. To keep things simple, I want to pin a user to a server so I can avoid

> doveadm expunge -u <user> mailbox '*' savedbefore 30d That doesn't work for me either. The command is accepted, but the messages are not expunged. I guess my search/fetch will just have to return the mailbox name, in addition to other fields, and then I'll need to loop through the mailbox names and perform multiple expunges for each user. I understand the desire to

Hi Timo, little cosmetic bug report: using "verbose_proctitle = yes" shortens the proctitle of dsync to just "dsyn". Example: Note the whitespace instead of the 'c' in the proctitle: root at m-st-01:~# ps auwwwx | grep [d]syn virtmail 18141 13.0 0.1 49916 7952 pts/6 R+ 00:49 0:00 dsyn -v -u xxyyzz7 -R backup maildir:/staging/xxyyzz7/Maildir With

Hi! I am about to migrate a perdition-based IMAP/POP3 proxy to Dovecot. Unfortunately some users are behind a firewall/NAT setup which throws away seemingly idle TCP connections sooner than the established default of 24 hours (more likely after 30 minutes ...) resulting in all kinds of weird client behavior. And unfortunately? this firewall/NAT setup is outside of my control and I have no means

These numbers roughly match my results. About 6 TB of mail compresses down to about 3 TB. The

hi! In table I see this: | papp.tamas at center.hu | 118671994 | 20437 | du -sm says, the size of the maildir is 154M. I use xfs. I can't figure out, why is there a difference. Can you help me out? Thank you, tamas

Dear list, One of my users is reading e-mail from his phone. When he logs in, this is what I see in my logs : Apr 10 16:17:58 auth-worker(17101): Debug: sql(xxx at mydomain.tld,52.184.164.73): query: SELECT email as user, password FROM users WHERE email = LOWER('xxx at mydomain.tld') [...] Apr 10 16:17:58 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<xxx at mydomain.tld>, method=LOGIN,

I have what amounts to a simple search engine running through a table using input from a form. Everything works fine when looking for "title" or "body" But, when I want to couple that with an AND statement the search still works fine, but it seems to disregard the AND statements. Code below: In the view: <%= start_form_tag :action=> "show_search" %>

I have the acts_as_ferret plugin installed. Everything searches great, but I would like to limit the results (i.e. by ''end_date'') and sort them (by ''end_date''). ''end_date'' is a valid column in my "posts" table. Here''s the code I have already: @posts = Post.find_by_contents(params[:query]) params[:query] comes from a form. I

Hi, Out of curiosity, has anyone managed to use mail-trends[0] to analyse their e-mails. I thought about trying it out, but got stuck midstream. The mail-trends scripts work very well with gmail, but because they say it is supposed to work with _any_ IMAP server, I thought I could get it running with Dovecot too. I know this is NOT a mail-trends support group though, but I believe there is
