similar to: connection to director (lmtp) time out

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

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

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

Hello, are you using systemd? May be you have to edit unit-file for dovecotservice and increase filelimit LimitNOFILE=infinity Hajo Am 23.08.2017 um 14:21 schrieb Patrick Westenberg: > 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? > > Regards > Patrick > > > > Aki

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 @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:

Hi everyone, some days ago I had trouble with my NFS-Server (high delays) which caused dovecot lmtp to deliver the same message several times (up to 10x). I recognized some old/unused .nfsXXXX files in the maildirs which seemed to be index files. I deleted them and everything was fine again. However, there are still 2-3 mailboxen where mails (old and new ones) are delivered multiple times. 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

Timo - I upgraded to 2.1.10 on our director servers two nights ago and apart from errors associated with the directors processes restarting everything looked great for ~24 hours until I failed our the real servers last night to update the nfs mount options for the spools. I followed the suggested procedure for each backend server, just run on one of the directors, which seemed to work as

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 }

Hi list, I am running a Debian Lenny machine with Postfix 2.5.5 and Dovecot 2.0.8. Up until now I ran Postfix with the Procmail delivery agent succesfully. The machine has only local users; I am not using virtual mailboxes. Due to obvious reasons I want to switch to Dovecot LDA delivery, through LMTP. I spend quite some time finding 'the' configuration for both Postfix and Dovecot,

Hello, I'm build system with two director/proxy and dual stack network (or IPv6-only local services) http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director say "This also means that a single director ring must use either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, but not both at the same time." OK All servers have 2 interface (public and local network), and all dual stack IPv4/IPv6, imap/pop (mail) and lmtp (mx) proxy run

I'm trying to work out why I have the following problem, and I'd really appreciate any help you guys can offer: I have a samba share mapped as drive o: to an NT4 server, which happens to be the machine that takes our backups. What I want to do is back up the data on the Samba share too. Simple enough, you'd ahve thought, and I can back up stuff from a Windows share fine. But,

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

Good evening everyone, I'd like to paste a problem i experience the last days with a mail cluster system based on three dovecot servers and two directors in front of them. The Directors are proxying the auth requests to the dovecot servers below (LDAP). The protocols i use are imap/managesieve/lmtp.? The setup works as intented, exept one detail. There are a lot of users that happen to
