Hi @all, on Saturday I upgraded two dovecot servers from squeeze to wheezy and dovecot from 2.1.x to 2.2.5 (compiled from sources). After the upgrade everything worked fine at first. On Sunday Morning I recognized these errors (they occured after a reload for logging purpose on midnight) on one server: director: Error: Ring SYNC appears to have got lost, resending After reloading/restarting

Hi All, I can't get directory proxying of pop3 and imap working.? The director stuff appears to be OK - see below.?? The ldap authentication is working on the backend mail server.? I just get connection refused when I telnet to the proxy on the pop3 and imap ports.? Nothing appears to be running on the pop3 and imap ports despite the lines in the config below.? I am not sure what to do from

I have four front end servers with two backend servers. Each front end server has three instances for different mail hosts (individual SSL certs, etc). I'm looking at adding a fourth instance on each front end server for the director process. Currently we just return the backend server ip via SQL and use the old master username/password to proxy the inbound POP/IMAP sessions to the correct

Hi everyone, short version: Is there no built in failover mechanism for the director service to handle a backend failure? Long version: I have a frontend server running the director service and two backends. Due to maintenance I had to shut down one of the backends which caused connection errors for the users being directed to this backend. I was very surprised as I expected the director to

Hello, Following Jan-Frode's advise I am trying this configuration: {postfix} ---lmtp---> {director} ---lmtp---> {dovecot} so I have two dovecot instances for director/proxy and lmtp delivery on ports 1024 and 24 respectively. whilst for imap connections I can specify a pool of imap backend servers via 'director_mail_servers' it seems is not possible with lmtp.

Hi, I've been running dovecot for many years, but now i've hit a strange problem. when retrieving imap there is sometimes in 1 of 4 imap requests a 4sec latency. * notes: - connected directly to the backends this latency disappears - removing a director from the loadbalancer(lvs) so i'm the only connected to the director this latency disappears too I would appreciate some feedback

Hi All, Firstly, thanks for all the really helpful responses to my previous questions "Architecture for large Dovecot cluster" and "Sizing MTA servers". I am now trying to get a Dovecot director proxy working with a single backend mail server. When I try to connect to the dovecot proxy on the pop3 and imap ports I get connection refused. I want the authentication to

Hi All, I am running Dovecot 1:2.2.9-1~bpo70+1 on Debian Wheezy. I have just started getting the error below when I do a do a list of proxied users. The list of users appears OK afterwards. # doveadm director map doveadm(root): Error: User listing returned failure doveadm(root): Error: user listing failed user mail server ip expire time . . . My director config is below. Thanks

Hi all, I'm running two directors with lmtp proxy as relay transport for my mail exchangers. relay_transport = lmtp:inet:dovecot-directors.example.net dovecot-directors.example.net resolves to 172.17.1.3 and 172.17.1.4 Now, .3 is down and Postfix tries to deliver it to .4 but this connection gets a timeout: (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 172.17.1.4[172.17.1.4]:24: Connection

Hello, i'm test system dovecot (proxy with director) and backend storage, auth LDAP server (user plain passwords) If i use plain auth, work fine. If connect DIGEST-MD5 or CRAM-MD5 proxy not redirect connection (Requested DIGEST-MD5 scheme, but we have a NULL password) ### Frontend proxy+director # dovecot -n # 2.2.19: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE amd64

I'm upgrading my configuration to use director and lmtp for delivery. (doveconf -n at end of the mail). I use the same config for auth on mail backends and see no errors. My setup seem to work nicely but i have some auth process crashing when using lmtp protocol. Everything is working a sexpected then i've got 5-6 errors like this in logs and a crach of the auth process: dovecot:

Hi All, Does anyone know how to disable the Director service. In our current running Dovecot 2.2.4, if the director configuration is commented out and Dovecot has no errors nor warnings. But the version 2.2.12 I'm testing with gives out fatal errors. We have dedicated Dovecot Director servers that serve the public frontend and separate dedicated imap/pop3 servers on the backend

Hello dovecot community, first of all: dovecot ist great! ;) ...nevertheless I?ve got some problems to get my director scenario running as needed/expected :( My scenario: I?d like to configure two dovecot backends, without the need for multiple dovecot instances. Both backend servers are active/active and act on top of a glusterfs storage, which implies the need for dovecot director. As

Hi, I've just setup a testing enviroment for director, and it's not working as expected. I have just 1 director (called director) and 2 dovecot servers (dovecot1 and dovecot2); these are exact copies. First problem: when both dovecot servers are up, every imap connection is redirected to the same server as you can see here: $ sudo doveadm director map user

I'm trying to setup our first director server. Trying to keep the initial config simple really as just maybe a proof of concept and its got me pulling my hair out today. Initially I just tried to convert one of my already running IMAP servers to be a director just to see if I could do it. I modified the configs as it appeared they needed based on: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director

Hi, we have a problem with our director proxy configuration.
