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

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.

Hi Timo & everyone, I'm trying out a 2-node director setup, but I keep getting the following error: Oct 3 16:11:29 imapdir1 dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.0.15 starting up (core dumps disabled) Oct 3 16:11:34 imapdir1 dovecot: director: Error: connect(132.198.100.150:9090) failed: Invalid argument Oct 3 16:11:41 imapdir1 last message repeated 3 times Both nodes report this error.

Hi all, I have a setup of some nodes running Dovecot 2.0.13 and Postfix 2.5.6 with storage in NFS and authentication happening with PAM. Poking around in the wiki, I tried out different possibilities but now I am stuck -- and are hoping for your (enlightening) comments and tips. My planned setup for IMAP and LMTP is like this: IMAP ==== 1. A loadbalancer directs new sessions to a

Hi, I'm setting up an IMAP/POP cluster using dovecot director for some NFS reasons and I'm getting some troubles with director_servers directive. Configuration is shared on both nodes : director_servers = 10.0.50.50 10.0.50.51 director_mail_servers = 192.168.0.150 192.168.0.151 director_user_expire = 15 min service director { unix_listener login/director { mode = 0666 }

Hello, i'm test system dovecot (proxy with director) and backend storage, auth LDAP server (user plain passwords) If i use plain auth, work fine.

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:

Hi, I'm setting up the directors for proxying pop3/imap/lmtp/sieve. pop3/imap/lmtp proxying work fine, but sieve not working. The error messages in maillog look not using proxying but local passdb.

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'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

I'm upgrading my configuration to use director and lmtp for delivery. (doveconf -n at end of the mail). I use the same config for auth on mail backends and see no errors. My setup seem to work nicely but i have some auth process crashing when using lmtp protocol. Everything is working a sexpected then i've got 5-6 errors like this in logs and a crach of the auth process: dovecot:

Hi Timo & Dovecot users, We have a 2-node director setup which front-ends for 4 nodes which share a clustered filesystem (GFS). All nodes run Dovecot 2.0.18. Approximately 40k users, but typically only a few thousand active at any time. The director nodes run sendmail, which deliver mail "locally" using LMTP to the director, which then feeds to SMTP on the real servers (also

I'm trying to setup our first director server. Trying to keep the initial config simple really as just maybe a proof of concept and its got me pulling my hair out today. Initially I just tried to convert one of my already running IMAP servers to be a director just to see if I could do it. I modified the configs as it appeared they needed based on: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director

Hi, I've just setup a testing enviroment for director, and it's not working as expected. I have just 1 director (called director) and 2 dovecot servers (dovecot1 and dovecot2); these are exact copies. First problem: when both dovecot servers are up, every imap connection is redirected to the same server as you can see here: $ sudo doveadm director map user

Hi @all, on Saturday I upgraded two dovecot servers from squeeze to wheezy and dovecot from 2.1.x to 2.2.5 (compiled from sources). After the upgrade everything worked fine at first. On Sunday Morning I recognized these errors (they occured after a reload for logging purpose on midnight) on one server: director: Error: Ring SYNC appears to have got lost, resending After reloading/restarting

hello! Is "doveadm director map" command suppose to work when I store "host" value in mysql table? It gives me nothing in output with no errors in log. I've successfully setup directors with static passdb, and decided to give a try setup with storing host value in mysql table. The proxying is actually working, I'm just unhappy with no output from "doveadm

The sample Director configuration (10-director.conf) says that director_servers and director_mail_servers can be lists of either IPs or hostnames: # List of IPs or hostnames to all director servers, including ourself. # Ports can be specified as ip:port. The default port is the same as # what director service's inet_listener is using. #director_servers = # List of IPs or hostnames to all

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

hi all, I've been tasked to add sieve/managesieve to an existing dovecot cluster running 2.1.7 on debian wheezy which is made up of 2 dovecot-proxy hosts as directors and some back end dovecot imap hosts all running the same version. My problem is that I thought to put the service on the director/proxy hosts since they wouldn't have too much load on it, but when I do I get the
