similar to: Dovecot 2.2.16 doesn't rotate mdbox files

Hello everyone, I am currently evaluating dovecot for our new email production servers (20k+ mailboxes) and found out something strange. I'm using those settings on Dovecot 2.2.4 (x86_64 / Slackware / compiled from sources) mdbox_rotate_size = 128M mdbox_rotate_interval = 1d mdbox_preallocate_space = yes with virtual users and location like : mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox I don't

Hello I am starting testing with dovecot 2.0.9. In my //etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf/ I have the following line: /mail_location = mdbox:/mydomain.org/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n:INDEX=/mydomain.org/indexes/%2.26Hn/%2.200Hn/%n/ These are my questions (a long mail): *1? How should I restore from backup with mdbox & separate indexes?* I have read in dovecot list archive about restoring the full

Hi Timo, hi all! Today i noticed imap throws segmentation faults and dumps cores. I looked into logs I can see: 2013-03-07T12:12:52.257986+01:00 meteor dovecot: imap(marcinxxx at kolekcja.mejor.pl) <7sRXtFPXYAA+eX93>: Error: Corrupted dbox file /dane/domeny/mejor.pl/mail/marcin//.mdbox/mailinglists/storage/m.75 (around offset=2779212): EOF reading msg header (got 0/30 bytes)

Hi I migrated my dovecot server from Maildir to mdbox with saving attachments to external files and enabled SIS a few days ago. Everything works fine except one issue. I have both virtual and system users. Dovecot saves attachments with mode 0600. So I catch such errors for system users: dovecot: lda(wasya): Error: fs-sis: Couldn't read hash file

Hello, I received an e-mail, this includes 9 forwarding, each with a file. These files are not removed from the e-mail and stored in the attachments-directory, although they are larger than 16 KB. For all files the "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" is set. The email is stored in completely in "m.00000034" ------------------------------------- doveconf: # 2.2.12:

Hello. I'm created two installations of dovecot-2.2.beta1 with identical config. Without replication each server works good. With replication enabled every changes are replicated between these ones. When I probe remove or move some email in another folder it is disappears and reappears again and again in source folder and appears in destination folder. Thus increasing number of letters like

First of all i would like to thanks Timo for the excellent job done in dovecot. We are using it in you prodution server with about 5 millions of emails and it is pretty good, only a performance problens but i guess it is realated to ocfs2 that we are using. So lets begin: We are using dovecot 2.0.6 with maildir in an ocfs2 partiton. It is pretty slow access in peak time, but it is related to

Hello All, If I change the mdbox_rotate_size to 100 MB & mdbox_rotate_interval to say 3 days after a year of usage what would be the impact on existing mails and new mails? Thanks/DP

Hi! I'm using dovecot 2.1.12-r1. When remote imap server rejects connections then I can't login into account and MTA can't deliver emails to maildir also. I'm attaching snippets of logs: 2012-12-15T18:05:43.072594+01:00 meteor dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<marcin at mejor.pl>, method=PLAIN, rip=2001:470:1f0b:1ab3:50af:bef4:6918:78ad, lip=2001:470:1f15:1b61::2,

Hi list! Recently I noticed that dovecot-lda throws segfault when resolver is unavailable and with imapc configured. $ cat /etc/resolv.conf search . nameserver 127.0.0.1 backtrace: # gdb -q /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda 'core-1398282784-8-11-!usr!libexec!dovecot!dovecot-lda-8805' [...] Core was generated by `/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d marcin at mejor.pl'.

Hello. I tested dovecot's work with expunge messages on Mdbox over strace (see at tail of message). As I can see dovecot process opens old storage m.* file, reads it content, opens new temporary file, writes in this one content and rename this new one to m.(*+1). How fast this algorithm works on system with about 10000 users and 5Tb data? I will use mdbox_rotate_interval for delayed expunge

Dear All, I think I've hit a bug after migrating our mail server to the newest version of dovecot (version 2.2.15). When I try to list all imap folders for one user the imap process crashes. The listing to a specific folder (ex. INBOX) works fine, only the "*" crashes. Client side: --------------------- [root at mb log]# telnet 127.0.0.1 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to

Hi all, I'm using dovecot v2.0.11 on fedora14 with postfix. This system was migrated from an old UW mbox system, so users already have ~/mail/INBOX.* files. Now for some reason, dovecot is creating ~/mail/mail/INBOX.* files and somehow not seeing the mail_location properly. I've set mail_location to "mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u", which has worked on a

Hi all! I just upgraded dovecot from 2.2.2 to 2.2.4. Now I can't login to imap, proces imap throws segfault.

Hi, How to tune the size of each "m.xxx" file in mdbox format , in order to optimize the ratio size/number of files ? (I can see for instance more than 100 000 files in one directory due to very large mailbox size) If such parameter exists, what is the typical value ? Thanks Joan

Hi Timo, Upgraded to 2.0.14 last night for the director-related features and I noticed an oddity in the logs: Sep 28 09:53:21 director2 dovecot: master: Warning: service(ipc): client_limit reached, client connections are being dropped Sep 28 09:53:56 director1 dovecot: master: Warning: service(ipc): client_limit reached, client connections are being dropped Sep 28 09:54:23 director2 dovecot:
