Hi @all, after re-installing one of my two frontends/proxy-servers I get the following error messages after some time (sometimes after 1h, sometimes after 24h): 11:23:55 imap-login: Error: socketpair() failed: Too many open files 11:23:55 imap-login: Error: socketpair() failed: Too many open files 11:23:56 imap-login: Error: socketpair() failed: Too many open files 11:23:56 imap-login: Error:

I haven't done this on the old, working machine. So there must be a difference between Debian 7 and 9 how open files are handled?

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

Hi all, I just recognized a lot of log entries like this on my proxy: Dec 03 13:50:54 imap-login: Info: proxy(mail at example.com): disconnecting 1.2.3.4 (Disconnected by server): user=<mail at example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=1.2.3.4, lip=2.4.6.8, TLS, session=<qk02v6DsJwBTlUQX> There are no similar entries on the backends. What does this mean? Something I have to worry about?

Hi @all, I have a 3 server setup (MX ==LMTP==> Proxy ==LMTP==> Backend). After upgrading to 2.2.18 I was able to use LMTPs from MX to the proxy but not from the proxy to the backend: Received: from mf01.example.net ([172.17.1.5]) by mb01.example.net (Dovecot) with LMTP id T+LnDWrvcVWDSwAAJnBBGg for <patrick at example.net>; Fri, 05 Jun 2015 20:50:58 +0200 Received: from

Hello, are you using systemd?

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

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

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.

Today I will try Dovecot Director for a setup using a Cluster Backend with GFS2 on rhel5, my question is if is Director stable for use in production for large sites, I know is mainly designed for NFS but I believe it will do the job also for a cluster filesystem like GFS2 and should solve the mail persistence problem with a node and locking issues. I plan to add a layer behind a load balancer to

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'm using dovecot in a multi server setup. Two directors forward pop3, imap and smtp to backend dovecots with their central storage on NFS. Yesterday I stumbled upon these log lines: 2019-11-18 20:17:51 lmtp(17274): Info: Connect from 172.22.1.6 2019-11-18 20:17:51 lmtp(17274): Panic: file smtp-client-connection.c: line 1142 (smtp_client_connection_established): assertion failed:

I just upgraded my Ubuntu server from 11.10 to 12.04.1 and that upgraded Dovecot to 2.0.19. For some reason I'm getting a lot more (5 times) disconnect in IDLE and inactivity time outs. I'm using only IMAP with two users. Both users access the server from multiple devices, phone, tablet and desktop computer. I had previously set the max_userip_connections to 20 and rarely got the

hi, one customer told us, that he has performance problem in his Thunderbird 3.1.9, while open his sent folder, which has round about 4000 mails in it, and 20k in his Inbox. For example TB, tries to sync the sent-folder list (over SSL) from the sent folder for now over 15min. In the log, I can't see any strange things, so for me, Dovecot works ok. Maybe, I should use better cache options?

Hello In my installation the disable_plaintext_auth does not appear to take effect. I can see that the value is correct using doveconf -a but it doesn't change anything.

If anyone was listening, the password was exposed. ls NO
