similar to: Dovecot 2 and TCP-Keepalive

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

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

Hi! I've been pondering about doveadm-search-query(7) and trying to formulate a search query for some time now and it seems there is no way to search for messages, which have been marked DELETED before a certain time. I want to use this to expunge all DELETED messages which have been in that state for 24h or longer. For example a cronjob runs at midnight to expunge those messages but a user

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

Hello, I've just finished transiting our proxies from perdition to dovecot (2.1.7-7 Debian). Yesterday 12 messages (all within the same second) like this caught my attention: --- Apr 25 17:19:09 pp11 dovecot: auth: Warning: proxy(redacted at gol.com,xx.xx.xx.xx,<26hUEivbfQBlMrMS>): DNS lookup for mb04.dentaku.gol.com took 5.002 s --- Now this machine at that time was handling a load

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 was reading "conf.d/10-director.conf" and it mentions Dovecot proxy. I've been using perdition in the past for my pop/imap proxying needs and wasn't sure if Director could also use perdition or if it only works with Dovecots proxying. Thanks!

The wiki <http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy> page says this: "The connections created to the destination server can't be TLS/SSL encrypted.". Hrmm. Right now, with perdition, I'm forcing the use of STARTTLS on the internal connections. I'd just as soon get rid of perdition (to have one less moving part in my architecture), but I need the

Hi, I have two load-balanced dovecot servers using a single NFS mount. The version is 1.2.11. I chose this so that if one server goes down the other will take up the load, and if my load is too much for one server I just have to add more identical servers. It works, but I wish to move to SAN storage because the NFS server is exhibiting irregular performance. (I spent a lot of time with tcpdump to

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

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

Is it possible to use Dovecot frontends in front of UWash backends? I need a proxy pool ASAP. There is not sufficient time to migrate the backends for 40,000+ users so they have to stay UW for now. I have been looking at Perdition but concerned about performance under load. Dovecot looks really promising with it's non-forking mode. I need simple dumb frontends no local mail. Other

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
