similar to: Dovecot 2.1.16: "default_client_count" written to the logs

Hello, 1. Considering a user_query similar to this one: SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE CASE '%s' WHEN 'lmtp' THEN ... and issuing following command: doveadm user -x service=lmtp someuser at example.com the log shows: SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE CASE 'doveadm' WHEN 'lmtp' THEN ... and the query of course fails. The same config with Dovecot 2.1.16 yields expected

Hello, I'm currently experimenting with this quota-status service configuration: service quota-status { client_limit = 1 executable = quota-status -p postfix # Let's make the default explicit. user = root unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/quota-policyd { user = postfix } } The idea is to run the service as root during the preliminary tests (at worst, since

While investigating Dovecot's deliver with Postfix, I encountered some behaviors making me wonder whether I really understand the purpose of that binary. So, if you allow... This is from Postfix' main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver -e -n This is my quick setup for Dovecot: # 1.2.rc4: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Darwin 9.7.0

Hi, Is there a configuration element that would allow me to change the dot-lock name for the user's /var/mail inbox when it is locked? dovecot (correctly) acquires <username>.lock, but I'm having a problem with procmail where some obscure code path is preventing procmail's acquisition of a lock when it's that default name in /var/mail. The issue is not permissions

Hello, Is there any way to easily check a master user's password, for itself, without having to refer to another user or to weak the security by allowing master users to log in for themselves? For example, this works: # doveadm auth test 'someuser*masteruser' Password: <enter master user's password here> passdb: someuser*masteruser auth succeeded but depends on the

Hello, At http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/mbox: The UID for a new message is calculated from "last used UID" in X-IMAP header + 1 Shouldn't it read "in X-UID header + 1" instead? Axel

Hello, Let's say dovecot.conf contains: mail_uid = dovemailer mail_gid = dovemailer mail_home = /some/path/%n mail_location = mbox:~/mboxes:INBOX=~/mboxes/inbox and that the password database query is of the form: password_query = \ SELECT \ passwd AS password, \ nickname AS user, \ mail_home AS userdb_home, \ mail_location AS userdb_mail, \ WHERE \ ... The database

I get this when I reload dovecot after any changes. How can I fix it? I can?t find any reference to it anywhere. master: Warning: fd limit (ulimit -n) is lower than required under max. load (256 < 1000), because of default_client_limit thanks Robert

Thank you for the response Axel. I will look into that. I did attempt to switch the PAM/Kerberos authentication to Dovecot LDAP authentication, but now performance is unbelievably slow. For example, with PAM/Kerberos, a user can log into webmail and have all of their emails/folders showing almost immediately. When using Dovecot LDAP, it takes literally 8-10 seconds to see the same thing. I

Hello I have an Apple computer user who has great problems using IMAP and Dovecot. Some same messages seems to stay in two or more folders and are impossible to erase from the Apple mail client Anyone has that kind of troubles ? Thanks

Hi, with a low soft limit on file descriptors, dovecot 2.2.15 warns on startup: Warning: fd limit (ulimit -n) is lower than required under max. load (256 < 1000), because of default_client_limit It could try increasing the limit first, and only report the warning if that fails. I'm attaching a patch that does just this. Without the patch, the soft fd limit is kept at whatever it

Hi, i have configured my dovecot-proxy with "shutdown_clients = no" and "service_count = 1" for a "default_process_limit = 5000" and "default_client_limit = 25000". I don't know if this is a prefered setup for so many users/concurrent sessions but so i can reload my dovecot without disconnecting all sessions. The main problem are pop3 sessions - if i

Yes,tried a range from 100 to 1000, but the warning still happens, with varying outputs saying its either over or under. I'm looung for a way to set the limit when dovecot starts, or as part of the startup process actually. ----- From my iPhone. > On 16 May 2015, at 1:54 pm, Edgar Pettijohn III <edgar at pettijohn-web.com> wrote: > > >> On May 16, 2015, at 4:10 AM,

I did a mistake (shame on me). While migrating accounts on a new server, I didn't pay attention to a detail: sieve_max_actions, that I set to a low value for my testings, but then forgot to raise before the migration. As a result, several redirect-only accounts have now their inbox filled with messages that should have been redirected to "real people", then discarded. Would there

Hi,is there a way to log which MUA is being used from an user? # dovecot --version2.0.9 Thank you

My base concern may be illustrated with the help of that simple telnet session: # telnet 127.0.0.1 imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.

Hello, Still busy with details... Considering, as in my previous example, a password_query returning '!' or NULL for the "nologin" column, depending on an account's status (suspended or not). Let's consider a suspended user "some.user". In the case of a successful authentication, one has: sh-3.2# doveadm auth test some.user goodpassword; echo $? passdb:

I?m using dovecot to provide encrypted IMAP e-mail support for remote clients and it?s working great. However, I also need to set up a webmail front-end (Roundcube), which I?m hoping to have use unencrypted IMAP on port 143 (as only port 993 is available externally). The problem I?m running into is that I want to require client certificate authentication on port 993, but dovecot is apparently

Hello Axel, but then I don't get it: I thought that "uid" and "gid" in the user_query where used to access the local FS, whereas the "unix_listener auth-userdb" are used to indicate under which owner/group must be auth-userdb run... although maybe I'm wrong :-S :-) What I'm looking forward to is to eliminate the need for returning these two fixed
