similar to: 2.2.14rc1 - dsync in backup mode still changes source permissions

Hi, We have dsync failing once in a while when running in "backup" mode. What's strange is that the result is that the file permissions on the *source* machine ends up with the wrong permissions (set to uid 0). Even though the dsync manual clearly says: "Backup mails from default mail location to location2 (or vice versa, if -R parameter is given). No changes are ever done

I'm getting an error backing up mailboxes. I'm using the mirror command: dsync -fvo mail_home=/home/users/bob mirror ssh vmail at 10.1.4.1 dsync -o mail_home=/home/.incoming_mail_migrations/users/bob dsync-remote(vmail): Error: Mailboxes don't have unique GUIDs: 1ef6ee37c694894d783100000581a675 is shared by INBOX and INBOX dsync-remote(vmail): Error: command BOX-LIST failed

Hi, I was wondering... If one had mdbox ALT path set to a shared storage mount (say, on NFS) and one wanted to move a mailbox to a different host... I guess it in principle wouldn't be necessary to copy all the ALT storage through dsync, when the volume could just be mounted on the new host. Is there anyway for dsync to avoid moving Gigabytes of data for could just be "moved" by

Hi, Considering the scenario, where you have some old account with a different POP3 UIDL format and you migrate them to dovecot. So these old UIDLs would be saved to dovecot-uidlist. At some later time you want to introduce a virtual POP3 INBOX like described on: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual So you decide to make the new UIDL format "%f" - to make them unique across

Hi, I have been using this setup for years: mail_home = /var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~ I have since learned that mail_home and mail_location should be different. I plan to use this: mail_home = /var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail I would like the transition to be transparent for my email clients. I don't want mail/directories/sieve_scripts to

I am running dovecot 2.2.2 with tcp based replication, and experiencing some duplicated emails. `doveconf -n` output is below. I have narrowed it down to the following scenario: An email arrives, and is successfully replicated to both nodes. It is in INBOX/new/ at this point on both servers. Connect with a mail client, and delete the message - without delayed expunge. So, for example, mutt

So... I've done some testing. One method which seemed to work - at least for primitive cases - was to: * Mount the ALT storage on the destination. * Run "doveadm force-resync \*" on the destination. (putting all the mails in ALT storage into the dovecot.map.index) * Run dsync from source to destination. Of course... if there was some way to avoid step 2... /Peter

Hi all, To backup our imap folders I've a cronjob running in the night: /usr/bin/doveadm -o stats_writer_socket_path= backup -R -A -N tcp:xxx.yyy.zzz:4191 This ran successful when I set it up and didn't look at it anymore. Recently I noticed errors: dsync-local(administration)<uO/qHjXS6FteLAAA3i05xw>: Panic: file dsync-mailbox-tree-sync.c: line 1253 (sync_create_mailboxes):

Hi, Currently using dovecot 2.3.2.1 and pigeonhole 0.5.2 on two identical hosts. I recently noticed ".dovecot.sieve" and ".sieve/managesieve.sieve" are not replicating from one host to the other in either direction. Mail is having no trouble replicating on both hosts with dsync, it is only sieve files that are not replicating for unclear reasons. # doveconf -n host 1:

I've been trying to convert an existing set of mbox mail to maildir using dsync, but it seems to fail when it gets to the large boxes. $ dsync -Dv mirror maildir:~/Maildir Everything seems to work reasonably well until the first of the large boxes hits: dsync(jeff): Warning: Maildir /home/jeff/Maildir/.cron.2010-07-10: Synchronization took 1210 seconds (102289 new msgs, 0 flag change

I'm working on migrating IMAP users from Mirapoint Message Servers to Dovecot servers. The Mirapoint IMAP server uses INBOX as a namespace for private mailboxes. I created the same namespace in Dovecot, but when I migrate mailboxes dsync seems to ignore/miss the namespace on Mirapoint and I end up with all mailboxes under a INBOX.INBOX hierarchy. Mirapoint Source Server

Hi, I tried to migrate my dovecot 2.2 to a new server with a other storage configuration and dovecot 2.3. New (and old) Server uses mysql for user information I use the following storage settings mail_home = /storage1/vmail/%{userdb:path} mail_location =

Hi, when creating a copy of a mail, dovecot provides a feature that will store its contents only once. In maildir, this is done by means of hard links, while mdbox has some special refcounting mechanism. My question is, how can we convert mails from maildir to mdbox without duplicating these copies? It seems that dsync does not detect the hard links. Even if the hard-linked mails have the

Hi, What's the recommended way to handling timeouts on large mailboxes given the hardwired request timeout of 60s in solr-connection.c: http_set.request_timeout_msecs = 60*1000; /Peter

I just tried to migrate one of my users from maildir to mdbox using dsync. My conversion script is checking the dsync exit code to know if the conversion goes fine or not, and surprisingly dsync returned "0" at the same time as it gave the error: Error: Failed to sync mailbox .ta\ vare\ p? ...

Im trying to sync 2 mailserver with dsync mirror functionality. Problem occurs when mails arrive in the same folder on both sides then dsync sometimes runs into problems and duplicates that entrys on both side(2mails then with same content). After running again the same happens again(now 4 mails with same content on every side). And then duplicates this mails on both sides on every run :(

Hello, I've got a Postfix/Dovecot server setup. Currently Dovecot is version 2.3.6, and it's using Maildir storage. The mailbox is: mail_home = /home/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail:LAYOUT=fs I'm wanting to convert from Maildir to sdbox. I looked at: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat I was initially thinking mdbox but that's multiple messages per

Hi -- I'm used to dsync my two mailservers running 2.0.16.

It should be empty (default mail_location) in the namespace to be converted. Same error with
