Hi, I wanted to enable FS quota support in dovecot, and have configured the following directives: protocol imap { mail_plugins = imap_quota } plugin { quota = fs } With this additional settings, my normally working dovecot.conf doesn't start anymore: Starting mail server: dovecotEdlopen(/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap/lib02_imap_quota_plugin.so) failed:

Hi, I'm encountering two, probably related, errors in my Dovecot 2.1.10 install. The issue relates to compressed email stored in Maildir format directories. In some cases, a mailbox will become inaccessible, and the following will be logged from a doveadm fetch:- doveadm(info at example.com): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/spool/virtual_mail/info_example.com_d/dovecot.index.cache:

Hi, we use dovecot 1.1.11 on a RH Server with sendmail. Local delivery is done with deliver: Mlocal, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=deliver -d $u This setup works without issues for us, but mail to root has a problem with deliver: deliver(root): Mar 04 16:31:31

Hi I'm very new to Dovecot (been using Courier for 5 years), but I've been persuaded of the merits of Dovecot and since the server needs upgrading that seems like the perfect time/excuse. On a test server, I set up postfix and installed Dovecot (running 32-bit Debian Squeeze, installed from apt-get). I mirrored the mail store (Maildirs, for historical reasons located under

Hi, we are currently in the progress of switching an HPUX mailserver to linux and dovecot. The only issue so far is, that HPUX has bigcrypt for passwords > 8 chars. Bigcrypt uses standard libc crypt for every block of 8 chars. The linux pam modules have a bigcrypt.c file which can be used for dovecot as well to authenticate crypt and bigcrypt passwords. I have used the pam bigcrypt.c code

I am trying to upgrade from dovecot 1.x to Dovecot 2.0.13 on Fedora. My problem is the mail_location setting seems to ignore the %d variable. My my location is as follows: mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/virtual_mail/%d/%u/Maildir However, when trying to log in the maillog says it can't find /var/spool/virtual_mail//*myusername*/Maildir/cur. As you can see it just uses an empty string

Hi all, after an update from dovecot beta version to 1.0.0.-1 today morning I had different effects: thunderbird-, kmail-, Apple-clients, pine and squirrelmail could receive email correct with imaps. But not MSOutlook!!! Varying the namespace configurations in dovecot.conf I got different results with MSOutlook working but with thunderbird, squirrelmail etc. all folders are displayed but not

Hello, i have to backup (tape library) a mailsystem with about 300.000 Mailboxes on 2 backends. Summary of all mailboxes are 2 TByte. The mailstore is mdbox. Is it save to do a simple filesystem backup (full and incremental) with backupsoftware? What is the prefered strategy to do a backup for desaster recovery (mailsystem crash) and restoring single usermailboxes? Regards, Claus

Hiya, I'm getting nfs flush requires mail_fsync=always rather consistently from my servers. As you can see below this has been enabled already - So what else am I missing?

Hiya all, I'm seeing this "Fatal: nfs flush requires mail_fsync=always" error on my testbed. The issue is that from what I can see, mail_fsync is set to always : # doveconf -n | grep mail_fs mail_fsync = always The result is that the client does not connect at all, which is not really what I wanted to happen :) Any idea what is going wrong here? Best regards S?ren P. Skou

Hi all I'm not quite sure how to explain this problem, so I'll just go from the top ;-). System is setup on a FreeBSD with IMAP and POP3, both can use PAM and SQL (MySQL) as login methods, though only POP3 is accessible from "the world" - IMAP is restricted via firewall to only localhost. Simple eh? The problem is that dovecot apparently drops the SQL part from time to time.

Hi, we start to run out of diskspace soon as our users start to keep mails for longer time periods. That's fine, but space consuming. The maildirs are about 1 TB in total, and not long ago we enabled zlib which is very nice. Now I have some thoughts about the next steps: a) Migrating the whole system to a new server with more storage? b) Install a virtual server for the mailsystem and an

Hello, any news about the attached error? I'm preparing the 2.2 to 2.3 upgrade and having the same error. We have the mail stores in an NFS filer.

The mdbox-format with the altstorage-feature is quite nice and important. But we're having much more then >> 30 TB of maildata and doing an fsck on huge partitions takes too much (down-) time for our mailsystem. It would be much easier, if Dovecot would be able to use at least THREE storage-paths for his m-Files (and not just TWO like now). Having an altstorage1 and altstorage2, we

my mailsystem is using postfix and virtual mailbox which stored in mysql db. SMTP AUTH is using PAM, pam-mysql to authenticate against a mysql db. I installed dovecot 0.99-14. In the dovecot example config file it mentioned that auth_passdb can check against thru PAM but auth_userdb didn't Does it mean that auth_userdb should use other means e.g. /etc/passwd, shadow, vpopmail, etc and in my

Hi, I have mailsystem with virtual users only (/home/vmail/domain/user). I need to integrate RT3.x (a ticketing system). I have installed the client but I need to send mail to a pipe.

What is the right way to achieve that mail to rt at mydomain is

HI I don't know if this is a dovecot issue or a client one. But as Dovecot is the most recent change, I'll start here. I have a server that's been running Courier for about 6 years and in all that time I think I've only ever had 1 issues where an entire mail box was repopped by a webmail client. However, since moving to a new server and dovecot 4 weeks ago, I've now had the
