Hello, I'm currently experimenting with the 2.1.x series and am facing a behavior I can't explain; I must be doing something wrong and probably miss the obvious... ;-) This is a very basic build on Mac OS X 10.8.2: ./configure --prefix=/_COD/dovecot-2.1.14 --sysconfdir=/_ETC --localstatedir=/_VAR --with-sqlite --with-ldap=yes (Yes, I know, a strange layout, yet very convenient for

Suspecting a problem with the "virtual" uids/gids, I've tried with a real user for the mail user: # 2.1.14: /_ETC/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 12.2.1 x86_64 auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_debug = yes mail_gid = dovemailer mail_location = mbox:~/mboxes:INBOX=~/mboxes/inbox mail_uid = dovemailer passdb { args = /_ETC/dovecot/db.conf driver =

Hi all. We've just migrated our back-end NFS mailstore from FC1 systems to CentOS4 and are experiencing problems/delays with vpopmail and user Maildirs. IMAP is fine, it's just POP access that causes us problems. Now, NFS mounts successfully, the clients can see /home/vpopmail and serve content as we would expect. IMAP works perfectly and sees new messages as soon as they're

I'm using roundcube webmail managesieve plugin. Webmail can login managesieve to a specific mailstore successfully without proxying. Because I have mutiple mailstores, I have to use proxying to redirect the correct mailstores just as imap/pop3. ???? Stephan Bosch ????? 2016-04-03 22:50 ???? Hawk Chen; dovecot ???

Having > 10 TByte mailstore filesystem-checks takes too much time. At the moment we have four different partitions, but I don't like to set symlinks or LDAP-flags to sort customers and their domains to there individual mount-point. I'd like to work with mdbox:/mail/%d/%n to calculate the path automatically. How do you handle >> 10 TB mailstore? I'm very interested in the

HI All, We have a couple of dovecot director proxies and six backed mailstores each accessing mailboxes stored on five NFSv4 filsystems with about 1TB of mail on each in maildir format.? We have about 800 max users on each mailstore at peak times and performance appears to starting to degrade at these times.? The mailstores are pretty recent hardware with 64GB of RAM and 24 cores.?? The NFS

Hi All, I am using dovecot in the Director setup with multiple proxy and backend mailstores and user information stored in LDAP.? I am aware users can be directed to a single backend server.? It would be useful to be able to direct groups of users to pairs of backend servers to give some fault tolerance against NFS issues and make the whole thing more scalable.??? Otherwise each backend mailstore

Hi all, I've been researching ways to replicate mail across multiple mailstores and have a few questions. Synching 2 mailstores (M1 & M2) via dsync works fine. I want to add a 3rd and 4th (M3 & M4) server to also be synced. Multi-sync (>2 servers): 1) How do I tell M1 and/or M2 to also sync to M3 and/or M4? Selective sync: 2) How do I sync specific domains to specific

I am sure resolving works fine. I tested this in a running mesos container, but also in docker run[1]. I need to have the search local option in resolve.conf. It was actually working, until I started adding the proxy for managesieve, but when I reverted, it still does not work. I think the building from cache mislead me. I suspect this is a different problem, that at some point is giving

Hi All, I need to import mailboxes into my Director NFS setup via one of my director proxy's as doing a direct dsync to the backend mailstores appears to giving me NFS locking issues. It looks like it may be possible to do this using doveadm listeners. I have setup doveadm listeners on a test proxy and backend mailstore. I am not sure how to make the dsync proxy through to the backend

Hello list, I've trying to migrate a small uw-imap server to dovecot. It works somewhat, and speed seems greatly improved, so thats great. However, I get an "invalid key/Internal Error" problem when connectiong to my INBOX with thunderbird. According to google this is a well known problem with mozilla mailers. Dovecot is not lenient with this bug in thunderbird. Is there some

I can't find a generalised "What the heck are namespaces all about?" anywhere, can anyone point me to a decent one? More directly, my question is this: if I set up two non-hidden private namespaces (one for mbox and one for maildir), will a well-written IMAP client automagically list folders from both as if they were part of (or below) the same hierarchy, or do I have to set up two

Hi, I'm planning on a new mail infrastructure which constists of multiple 'frontends' running webmail & public access pop/imap, which would communicate over imap/pop to 'backend mail stores'. My original idea was to run dovecot on the backends, use a predition on the frontends to proxy imap/pop and also run imapproxy in front of webmail [squirrelmail]. I've since

HI All, I have setup my Dovecot director proxies and Dovecot backend mail stores.? I intend setting up several incoming and outgoing Exim MTA's.? I am a bit confused about what I need to run on the backend Dovecot MTA's to get the incoming mail delivered to them.? Do I need to install Exim on them or use LMTP to receive mail from the MTA's?? Also, can I directly deliver mail to the

Hello List, I am in the process of building a new mail system here. I am hoping to eventually migrate my users from mbox storage to maildir. They have been using mbox forever and would rather get used to maildir slowly. So I have come upon the idea of using namespaces to provide the different mailstores. Since this isn't available in the current stable, or at least I could not figure

Hi list, I am trying to build an email system that is using multiple frontends, to a clustered backend using nfs. The backend mounts his filesystems from a central storage, and will be running active-active. While reading through the dovecot documentation, I read that I could do without indexes (well: use memory indexes), and could then be able to run dovecot over NFS. Well: that was until

Hi All, We are using Dovecot in a Director setup with two director proxies, six backend mailstores, mailbox storage in NFS, and user accounts stored in LDAP.?? Currently we have five NFS filesystems on EMC VNX storage which are all mounted on each of the six backend mailstores.?? At the moment all users could be directed to any of the six mailstores.? We have a group of users with very large

Hi, I''m a nub in dtrace, could you please help me to find the mistake? I need to implement the logic: - if PID and TID are defined, fire the probe for the particular thread of particular process; - if only PID is defined, fire the probe for the process including all threads. The predicat [i]syscall:::entry / (pid == PID && tid == TID )[/i] / works ok and return syscall for

Folks, We are in the process of purchasing new san/s that our mail server runs on (JES3). We have moved our mailstores to zfs and continue to have checksum errors -- they are corrected but this improves on the ufs inode errors that require system shutdown and fsck. So, I am recommending that we buy small jbods, do raidz2 and let zfs handle the raiding of these boxes. As we need more

We upgraded our two dovecot directors from v2.0.14 to dovecot-ee 2.1.10.3 this week, and after that mail seems to be flowing a lot slower than before. The backend mailstores are untouched, on v2.0.14 still. After the upgrade we've been hitting process_limit for lmtp a lot, and we're struggeling with large queues in the incoming mailservers that are using LMTP virtual transport towards our
