Hello, we are running Dovecot (2.2.13-12~deb8u1) on Debian stable. Configured with Mailbox++, IMAP, POP3, LMTPD, Managesieved, ACL. Mailboxes are on local 1.2TB RAID, it's about 5310 accounts. We are slowly getting out of space and we are considering to move Mailboxes onto Netapp disk array with two independent network connections. Are there some pitfalls? Not sure we should use NTP or

Hi, we are migrating from Cyrus 2.3.7 to Dovecot 2.2.13. We have ~7000 maildirs with ~500GB. Our goal is to do the migration without users have notice and with the shortest service downtime. The users use IMAP (with shared folders and ACL), POP3 and sieve filters. As a first choice, we tried the Dovecot's dsync tool. First tests were great, but we are not able to change the Cyrus auth

Hello, I sent this into the Linux Kernel Btrfs mailing list and I got reply: "RAID-1 would be preferable" (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/7b364356-7041-7d18-bd77-f60e0e2e2112 at lechevalier.se/T/). May I ask you for the comments as from people around the Dovecot? We are using btrfs RAID-10 (/data, 4.7TB) on a physical Supermicro server with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v4 @

One day, I'll use the LDAP. But infrastructure I got is quite neglected and some older admins is hard to convince to innovate. Just, aaaaah :) I read whole documentation related to userdb a and passdb. Easy to understand with relation to IMAP or POP3 access. But what I didn't understand is relation to LMTP. Which one is used and when for successful delivery. I'll try to move

Hi When I mount CIFS share (mount -t cids) with vers=1.0 I can perform getcifsacl sucessfully. But when I mount with vers=2.0, or 2.1, or 3.0, ACL reading fails. getxattr error: 95 REVISION:0x0 CONTROL:0x0 Why getcifsacl depends on SMB protocol version? Can I read ACL via newer SMB protocol?

Some controllers has direct option "pass through to OS" for a drive, that's what I meant. I can't recall why we have chosen RAID-0 instead of JBOD, there was some reason, but I hope there is no difference with single drive.

Hi, we are planning to change hardware for our standalone Dovecot instance handling ~5800 IMAP users with 1TB mailboxes on local RAID. Is there some recommendation about CPU? We can choose from: - Intel Xeon E5-2620v4 - 2,1GHz at 8,0GT 20MB cache, 8core, HT, 85W, LGA2011 - Intel Xeon E5-2623v4 - 2,6GHz at 8,0GT 10MB cache, 4core, HT, 85W, LGA2011 The difference is about more cores vs. hi

Hi, I have the Dovecot (2.2.27-3+deb9u2) with LMTP and Postfix. Static userdb: userdb { driver = static args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/data/vmail/user/%n allow_all_users=yes } and passdb by LDAP, only to verify IMAP user password by bind. Problem is, when someone sends email to non-existent at mydomain.tld, Dovecot automatically creates its home directory and Maildir. Is there any

Hi there. I've been using Dovecot for quite some time now but I just started using Let's Encrypt certs. Since LE certs are renewed automatically without user intervention I'm wondering if I will need to restart dovecot after that renewal... Has anybody had any experience with that? Thanks so much for your help! Ignacio -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Hmm, I see when using direct file access, but not when using IMAP, but I don't often

Hi, we have one user using the old Alpine client with IMAP. Time to time (3 times per day or 3 times per week) he get error: "MAIL FOLDER INBOX CLOSED DUE TO ACCESS ERROR" and he complains, that inbox stops to refresh with new emails. I don't know Alpine but I can imagine, that Alpine creates TCP connection to IMAPS and uses IDLE. I read wiki page about Timeouts [1] and it

Hi, we are using LDAP binding as a passdb, and static with allow_all_users=yes as an userdb. Works fine, but problem is, Maildirs are created for non-existent accounts too. We would like to prevent it. The LDAP binding does not supporta user lookups. Is the correct way to use checkpassword as a passdb before LDAP, check for account existency here and: result_success=continue

A few wild ideas/questions : 1) Is there a way to check the size of the journal of an ext3 filesystem ? I mean - the actually used size ; not the total size of the journal. 2) Would it be difficult to implement "freeze" of ext3 filesystem - that is, blocking all I/O to the filesystem until it's "unfrozen" (XFS can do that), for two purposes : A/ allowing
