Hello, I''ve configured two xen hosts (dom0) sharing a LUN on a SAN. My firs obiective is to run different domU on the two hosts, and implement live migration between them. Subsequently, I''d like to implement HA, so if a xen host goes down, domUs will be restarted on the other one. What''s the better way to obtain this? I think I need a cluster file system to

(Maybe this is a re-posting: sorry for that.) Hello, a SonicWALL appliance that protects my servers' LAN has suddenly begun to refuse OpenSSH connections with the following message: 'SSH 2.0 Overly Long Protocol Version Exchange String, SID: 3696, Priority: High - This signature detects overly long "Protocol Version Exchange" string in SSH 2.0. The maximum length of the

Hi there, I've just been experimenting with the latest courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script and I notice that it favours keeping pop3 UIDL ordering rather than IMAP UID preservation. There is this comment (line 312): # POP3 clients may want to get POP3 UIDLs in the same order always. # Preserve the order even if it causes IMAP UIDs to change. Does anyone have details as to which

hi all, this is needed to make the pop3_reuse_xuidl option work in 1.0alpha4. I am using maildir and I noticed that for each message which doesn't have an indexed X-UIDL header, the entire message is read from disk. as this is reading only headers, it is probably reasonable to stop reading at the end of the headers. it would also be neat if dovecot could be configured to only try reading

Hi, We're upgrading a cluster of servers from v1.0.15 to v1.1.x or v1.2.x. It appears that the UIDL generation mechanism has changed, and thus we'll be getting POP3 dups with users that leave mail on server (which is a nasty practice, I know). From checking the sources, and performing a number of controlled tests in various scenarios, here is the outcome: upgrade from 1.0.15 to

Hello! I am trying to migrate from Teapop to Dovecot. I'm using Dovecot 1.1.14. I need to make use of the X-UIDL header so clients don't download messages they've already received. I have the X-UIDL head in the message. I have pop3_reuse_xuidl(pop3): yes My problem is the X-UIDL in the message is being ignored and Dovecot is still generating it's own. The INBOX is an mbx

Hi, today I've finished migration from uw-imap daemons to shiny and fast dovecot. With thanks of dovecot my mail server load average drops by factor of ten even with ancient unix mailboxes. ;-) So, the only thing I've discovered is what POP3 uidls are different than ones used in the uw-imap. Luckily, the difference are only in the format string used in uidl response. So, I've

Hi all, I'm migrating a Postfix + Dovecot 1.0 server with mboxes to Qmail + Dovecot 1.4 with Maildirs and encounter the following the problem. Using perfect-maildir.pl from: http://perfectmaildir.home-dn.net/ i can relatively succesfully convert the mbox to a Maildir. The problem, however is that clients with "leave mail on server" set to on retrieve all email a 2nd time. I

Hello All! I am new to this list so I hope I'm not in the wrong list with my question. First, I have to say that dovecot is (in my opinion) one of the best POP3/IMAP servers arround. I especialy like its' simplicity (configuration) and powerfullness (speed, auth mechs). In my production environment I would like to cange from tpop3d to dovecot, but I have only one little problem :).

Hi! I am using xen-tools version: 3.9-4 to create domUs: 1. time xen-create-image --verbose --dist=lenny --install-source=/mnt/xen-file-images/lenny-64-template-debootstrap-30Jun09-fix2.tar --hostname dummy --ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --force 2. xm create dummy.cfg Then I get the message Device /dev/vg0/dummy-disk is mounted in the privileged domain, and so cannot be mounted by a guest. 3.

Hi, we are in migration progress from Communigate Pro 5.0.x to Dovecot 2.0.15 with mdbox. We still migrated about 25.000 IMAP accounts from CGP to Dovecot. Also there were still added about 2000 new POP3 Accounts on Dovecot. Now we must migrate about 10.000 POP3 accounts from CGP to Dovecot. At the beginning of our migration we didn't set the "pop3_reuse_xuidl" configuration

Hello, I have a serious problem with dovecot and mbox format. dovecot returns the same UIDL for new messages and as result some MUAs don't retrieve new mail. UIDs returned by UIDL command look like 000000*1c*49006cec And there is a moment when dovecot stops incrementing marked digits. In other words when new message arrive to mbox, UIDL command returns used UID. I'll show with example:

Hi, Considering the scenario, where you have some old account with a different POP3 UIDL format and you migrate them to dovecot. So these old UIDLs would be saved to dovecot-uidlist. At some later time you want to introduce a virtual POP3 INBOX like described on: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual So you decide to make the new UIDL format "%f" - to make them unique across

Hi, we're trying to migrate from UW imap 2001a-10, which doesn't seem to use the UIDL format documented in the wiki. It seems to use a 16 character long MD5 hash of something. I've tried configuring Dovecot to do the same but the value comes out differently. The main thing that I can see is getting in the way is that the UIDL format is not documented sufficiently. There is no

hi all, I am hoping to convert a 350K user qpopper installation using mbox to dovecot and maildir (pop3 only). many of the users "leave mail on server", and qpopper's UIDL format isn't (yet) supported by dovecot. since the UIDLs have been written by qpoppper to the existing mbox files (and will be preserved when the mboxes are converted to maildir) it would be possible to do

I recently set up an OpenBSD - Dovecot mail server for a client. Naturally (according to Murphy's Law) they want to use Outlook 2003, pop3s, and leave messages on the server. And just as naturally, the UIDLs don't seem to be working, and when they download mail, they get EVERY email stored on the server, not just the new ones. Other than switching them over to IMAP, I found the

Hi ! POP3-RFC (1939) speaks about UIDL command: The unique-id of a message is an arbitrary server-determined string, consisting of one to 70 characters in the range 0x21 to 0x7E, which uniquely identifies a message within a maildrop and which persists across sessions. When I issue an UIDL command (dovecot 0.99.10.9) I get replies like 1 1093990148.1 2 1093990148.2 3 1093990148.3 ... . You see

I saw a few commits for 2.0.13 that added MAIL_FETCH_POP3_ORDER, but I haven't been able to find any information on how to use it. I'm migrating from a Merak mail server into dovecot and all the email can be copied directly into a Maildir/cur directory. The filenames are just the timestamps. When I check with dovecot pop3, they seem to be randomly ordered. I'm hoping this

Dear List, To migrate a dovecot server from dovecot-1.x to dovecot-2.x, then I wonder if the UIDL format "pop3_uidl_format" setting is required in the configuration file for clients not to re-download the same mails from the migrated mail server. Currently, no UIDL format is set in /etc/dovecot file of the one using dovecot-1.x server which means it is commented out as default like

hi All, I have a srange problem. Before dovecot there was a courier imap and it worked just fine. The client(s) are the same then before, so I think, this is an server side problem. I have a user with Outlook and he uses pop3 and leaves messages on server. Sometimes the messages get downloaded again, when he starts the outlook. Not all, but 7-9 hours back. uidl format is like it's
