I'm using dsync for a regular backup. The backup system flocks so that two cannot run at the same time, which is generally a good thing. The problem is that it seems like dsync sometimes goes off into the weeds and never comes back, leaving a process running and doing nothing forever, hogging the lock and causing my backups never to run again. I just finally figured out that was what was

Hello, I'm encrypting mail on disk using a plugin[0], but the index files are not encrypted (specifically the dovecot.index.cache can be read). I want to do is encrypt index on disk, so I'm looking for how a plugin can achieve that by hooking into the right locations. Is that easily possible in a plugin? I can turn off those indexes by passing INDEX=MEMORY, but that isn't possible

I have been working on converting people from courier maildir -> dovecot mdbox and during some of the dsync runs I'm seeing the quota_exceeded_message be printed as an Error: dsync(<user>): Error: Can't save message to mailbox INBOX: You are over quota. To avoid losing mail, immediately empty your Trash and Sent folders and \ delete emails with large attachments.

Hi I have a process that creates 'some data' and outputs this to standard out and i want to shift this data over ssh to a remote box without ever writing anything locally. I have been experimenting with tar to create the archive as the i dont know what the contents of 'some data' might be so i just need to capture it and output it on the other side. I have been trying with $ tar

Due to the incompatibilities with the dsync protocol version between 2.1 and 2.2, I am unable to use dsync to move users to a new machine where we have 2.2.5 setup. This wouldn't normally be a problem, as I could just rsync the user's mdbox and dovecot would happily do the right thing. However, on the new system I've placed the indexes into a faster storage medium, where on the older

Dear Dirk, Yes, I know, however forget for one moment R. If I use tar independent of R it still should not create these hidden files. BTW, do you know where these hidden files are stored on the Mac?

Hello. I have an mdbox directory that has been created with the zlib plugin active, using bzip2 compression. I would now like to convert these into uncompressed mdbox format. How do I do this? I have tried unsetting all zlib-related configuration options, but dsync still produces compressed mdbox at the other end, too. I guess I could convert to mbox, and then back to mdbox, but for

Dear Simon, Thank you very much for your help, it did solve my problems!! Great! I have googled COPYFILE_DISABLE and found the following site which does explain the issue with tar on Mac OS X, see: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/9665/create-tar-archive-of-a-directory-except-for-hidden-files Instead of doing: $tar czf xps_1.29.2.tar.gz xps I did now: $COPYFILE_DISABLE=1 tar czf

Hello We are now running dovecot 2.0.9 with indexes in a ram disk and maildir storage in a test system. We have the following questions: - If there is a power outage / kernel crash, we will lose the content of ramdisk. We have tested that indexes are regenerated when a user logs in via imap, so e-mail access will be "slower" after a power outage / kernel crash, but

Hello. Up to version 3.0.4, I did the following to get two xen kernels (dom0 and domU) with my own config: wget http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/... make xen make tools make docs make linux-2.6-xen0-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig make linux-2.6-xen0-build make linux-2.6-xen0-install make linux-2.6-xen0-dist make linux-2.6-xenU-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig make

Hello, So ive spent the last 45 minutes or so searching the list for dbox stuff, but Im not seeing anything real definitive. My question is basically whether the dbox format is ready for production environment, is sdbox or mdbox more stable/ready than the other or does it matter? What are people's experience/review with running this format (and if you reply can you tell me which one

Hello, Are there any migration scripts to handle UID conversion for moving from a zimbra setup to dovecot? It would be nice to move all the mail without having re-download it all! thanks! micah ps - asking for a friend

I've been moving users from one system to another by doing a dsync mirror operation. The first dsync mirror takes some time, because of the number of users involved, so I am doing an initial sync, and then I direct the users to the new location and do a final 'freshening' sync to get any changes that happened during the longer sync. The problem seems to be with this freshening sync,

Hi, I got a bunch of the following errors: Lost transaction log file /Users/frohro/Maildir/dovecot.index.log.2 seq 1 when I was trying to apply some rules to move messages from one mailbox to another. Things hadn't been working well and I had recently upgraded to alpha 2, so I moved all dovecot* files in my Maildir/. Things then seem to work better. Rob -- Rob Frohne, Ph.D.,

When a user renames their username, I am using dsync to copy their mail over to the new username's mail location[0]. Some of the dsyncs are failing with errors that I dont know how to work with, for example: dsync(<username>): Error: Trying to open a non-listed mailbox with guid=41fcd40303c8a64e432300007ef44c7a dsync(<username>): Error: msg iteration failed: Couldn't open

I moved some mail into the alt storage: doveadm altmove -u johnd at example.com seen savedbefore 1w and now I want to move it back to the regular INBOX, but I can't see how I can do that with either 'altmove' or 'mailbox move'. thanks! micah -- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I tried doing scp between two machines on my LAN. It whizzed along at great speed for a long time, mostly displaying messages over and over saying either something about permission (denied, I presume), or else about too many levels of symlinks. What I use it for is GPS/map software -- legacy proprietary stuff from Garmin and Maptech, to which I have added a lot of personal data collected

Hi, I am using dovecot-2.1.3 on centos 5.7. Its running fine. I have two systems for mail server one is for backup. Currently I am running rsync daily. But I want to use dsync. I went through all the http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync and http://blog.dovecot.org/2012/02/dovecot-clustering-with-dsync-based.htmlbut I couldn't understood how to automatize dsync. Can anybody give me any idea

Hi, On saturday one of our dovecot machines had an OOPS, and we had to powercycle it. When it came up, it did a filesystem fsck (ext4) and fixed a couple things, but nothing in lost+found. Now, about 50 users have a problem where their indexes are corrupted. Dovecot tries to fix them, but for some reason it is failing. The users are seeing their mails duplicated and they cannot delete mails. I
