Thanks for your response, So, how do those rotation scripts work in concept? People are still able to access their old inboxes, but it just moves them to an archived state?

At my firm, we wrote rotation tools that work for mbox format to rotate inboxes monthly if they are over a certain size.? We also do the sent items folders. We find that large inboxes are bad for the server and bad for the client because the MUAs

Greetings, Just wondering if anybody would know why one of our users' iOS Mail app client doesn't show the email previews (the first few sentences of the email)? We had migrated from an earlier (2.2.4) version of Dovecot to the latest version and once that was done, the user began to report this issue.? I don't know if it's a Dovecot issue or not, but can anyone point me in

Greetings, Can anyone help me to solve this problem? When doveadm sync is running nightly, we have a certain user's mailbox that will not properly sync and the logs give me this error (user private info redacted): Error: Mailbox USER/MAILBOX: UID=79: read(/vmail/domain.org/user/.MAILBOX/cur/1575914253.M611834P7822.triata4,S=41893,W=42718:2,Sc) failed: Cached message size smaller than

For now it seems due to your smb.conf that you are not using the samba internal DNS server. It's not a must have, but samba does not provide dns. NetBIOS name should be equal to your

Greetings, We've been testing Sernet Samba AD and are running into trouble with the RPC server unavailable message when trying to edit group policy and manage users with Windows 8.1. Upon restarting the service, we can connect to the RPC server, but after 24 hours or less, we can no longer connect. I've been trying to find more information about this issue, which was apparently

Greetings, For whatever reason, the BIND server running on our Samba AD instance changes permissions on /var/lib/samba/private/ldapi and /var/lib/samba/private to root:root, and causes all kinds of trouble. If I change the permissions back to named:root, it works fine. But after about 3 or 4 weeks it will revert back to root:root. How do I prevent this from happening in the future? Thanks.

Greetings, Working with XCP 1.0 here. I have the problem of losing disk space upon creating snapshots. I''ve been through the XenServer forums and have tried using the leaf-coalesce tool, but it doesn''t seem to work that great, since I have to take my VMs offline and that doesn''t work. Does anybody have any answers on how to reclaim this disk space? We

Hello, I hate to have to ask this, but... why isn't the home directory being created automatically? Due to legacy compatibility we've had to use this type of home dir config: mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%d/%n mail_home = /vmail/%d/%n/home We're in the middle of upgrading to new hardware, and so I'm migrating configs to the new server, Dovecot 2.3.7 and Postfix 3.4.6 On

Greetings, We have a PHP based shell script that runs a doveadm backup routine. This script was running just fine, and then we turned on more logging for Dovecot (enabled the mail_log plugin). For some reason, once this was done, the shell script would run for a few minutes and then hang, as it added more log messages to the dsync STDOUT. Once the mail_log plugin was disabled, it ran without

Greetings, Working with dsync and setting up backups to a Windows file server. Problem seems to be that Windows is renaming the dovecot mail files (maildir) to Windows friendly filenames, and losing the Dovecot name. For example, 1323817925.M36368P32049.triata.globalchangemultimedia.net,S=2255,W=2318:2,S becomes 1AETPH~X. Does anyone have any ideas about how to tell Windows to not do this?

Quite a lot, AD relies on DNS, it sounds like the DC cannot find its own records, probably because /etc/hosts isn't setup correctly, you need to have the machines ipaddress and fqdn in

Greetings, I recently upgraded Dovecot from 1.2 to 2.0.14, for purposes of using Dsync to migrate emails from one server to another. I'm using MySQL for authentication. However I get this error message when I try to run Dsync, and after looking around for an answer, I'm at a bit of a loss: [root at triata ~]# dsync -v -u asai at globalchangemusic.org backup ssh -p22222 vmail at
