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

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 have a pair of dovecot director proxies and six dovecot backend mailstores using NFS v4.1 to access five filesystems on EMC VNX NFS storage. This is all working fine until I try and dsync new email mailboxes via one of the mailstores onto the NFS storage. I get major NFS lockups at random on one or more of the mailstores with none of the NFS mounts accessible on one or more of the

Hi All, I have my initial mailproxy setup with director through to my initial backend mailstore.? POP3 and IMAP user authentication is working ok on the proxy and the mailstore.? I just noticed when I do a "doveadm auth lookup" on the proxy it appears to give correct results but when I do it on the backend mailstore I get the error below.? Config on the mailstore below.? Any ideas??

Hi All, I have dsync mirror command working between a standalone dovecot server and a backend mailstore in a Dovecot Director setup.?? Is it safe to do the dsync directly to the backend mailstore in this setup? It doesn't seem to work via the director proxy. Thanks Murray

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

Hello, With the same basic configs as in my previous messages, I tried with the maildir format instead of the mbox format. That is, in both cases ("virtual" uids/gids vs a single "real" uid/gid), doveconf -n shows: mail_location = maildir:~/maildir instead of: mail_location = mbox:~/mboxes:INBOX=~/mboxes/inbox Here too, with "virtual" uids/gids, connections thru

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

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

Thanks for the reply, postfix + dovecot sasl configured and working properly. My question is about "adding dovecot authentication when sending emails via submission_host". Let's say we have dovecot + sieve plugin container. Dovecot configured to use remote SMTP submission host to send messages: submission_host = postfix.example.com:587 User foo at example.com has the following

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

Hi, I'm trying to activate some virtual folders on a new installed dovecot server. My plan is to have two virtual folders like "All" and perhaps "Unseen", like Gmail style for the first step. - All: lists me all messages in the users mailbox - Unseen: all unseen messages in the users mailbox I'm using dovecot EE Release: ii dovecot-ee-core

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

When using dovecot container with sieve plugin there is no sendmail to use for sending email for sieve redirect action for example. We can use submission_host instead https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/core/#core_setting-submission_host but there is no way to specify credentials for auth in remote MTA. Submission_relay_* settings e.g. submission_relay_master_user relate to dovecot submission

I?m adding once a day mail delivery to my site. Messages are marked by the sender as ?overnight? or ?once a week? delivery. The way I?m planning on implementing this is to queue messages until midnight in a MySQL database. Each mailbox will be kept in two Dovecot mailstores. The first mailstore will give the users IMAP access to their mailbox. A second mailstore will hold the next day?s new

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
