similar to: change mdbox rotation size?

Hi folks! I converted some of the spools on my mail server from maildir to mdbox. It went smoothly and the performance has been great. However, I have two questions regarding the process. First, I failed to notice the fairly low default mdbox_rotate_size, and I changed it in dovecot.conf after the migration. Is it possible to somehow make that change retroactive, to coalesce the couple

Hi there ! Please tell how did you do the migration ? I tried to do this with dsync and performance was far from 'smooth and great'. 2017-09-29 0:54 GMT+05:00 Dave McGuire <mcguire at neurotica.com>: > > Hi folks!

Hey folks. Suddenly I'm getting lots and lots of messages like this in my logs: Jun 19 14:47:31 <hostname> dovecot: [ID 583609 local0.error] imap(<address>): Error: mremap_anon(/var/mail/<domain>/<uname>/mailboxes/INBOX/Trash/dbox-Mails/dovecot.index.cache, 255557632) failed: Not enough space I'm running 2.2.36.1 under Solaris 10 (patched to current) on

I will investigate this. If you don't expect yor firewall to handle 45K+ IPs, I'm not how you expect dovecot will handle a comma separated string with 45K+ entries any
