The mdbox-format with the altstorage-feature is quite nice and important. But we're having much more then >> 30 TB of maildata and doing an fsck on huge partitions takes too much (down-) time for our mailsystem. It would be much easier, if Dovecot would be able to use at least THREE storage-paths for his m-Files (and not just TWO like now). Having an altstorage1 and altstorage2, we

Hello, first time here. I am playing with Dovecot because of its mdbox storage, SIS feature and altstorage ability. I authenticate against LDAP (passdb), but I don't fetch operational data from LDAP (mail_locations are static from config files and "user_attrs = =uid=500, =gid=500, =home=/maildata1/home/%d/%1n/%n"). On a daily basis I run "doveadm altmove -A savedbefore

Andreas, > I am interested in finding out your experiences with using the dbox > format (especially mdbox) if you use this format. mdbox is THE reason why I am trying Dovecot. With mailboxes of several (tens of) GB with several k of messages I hope mdbox will speedup backups. Also SIS for attachments sounds very good, but still doesn't follow the altstorage rules (while messages go to

Hello. Before going into deep testing of 2.2.16 (clean install tbd), I would like to know if someone is using succesfully both ACL and Lazy_expunge plugins. Perhaps I had a config error?

Ok... Now that I've got the niggling issues resolved, on to bigger and better things. I want to convert everyone from Maildir to dbox and enable SIS (our users use a lot of large attachments), and after some reading/googling, I think it may be better to use dsync instead of rsync for the actual migration after all since it will do this at the same time as the syncing. If I'm not

Hello, I have few hundreds mailboxes in my installation using the lastest version of dovecot. I have performances issues due to the storage don't support the high flow of I/O. I'm wondering if they are any chance to convert without downtime my sdboxes mailboxes to mdbox. Thanks in advance.

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

Recently updated to 2.2.25. Noticed a migration script I've been previously running fine started giving me the errors below.

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

Hi, some time back we had similar discussions when we, as an email provider, discussed to move away from traditional NAS/NFS storage to Ceph. The problem with POSIX file systems and dovecot is that e.g. with mdbox only around ~20% of the IO operations are READ/WRITE, the rest are metadata IOs. You will not change this with using CephFS since it will basically behave the same way as e.g. NFS. We

Hello list. Following two previous unanswered requests (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-August/097449.html and http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2014-May/096261.html), I fell into the same problem: ACL and lazy_expunge plugins do not work together. I had lazy_expunge enabled working OK. Then I activated ACL plugin, and gave dovecot.2 visibily over paolo.cravero's Inbox: the IMAP

Hello Jack, yes, I imagine I'll have to do some work on tuning the block size on cephfs. Thanks for the advise. I knew that using mdbox, messages are not removed but I though that was true in sdbox too. Thanks again. We'll soon do benchmarks of sdbox vs mdbox over cephfs with bluestore backend. We'll have to do some some work on how to simulate user traffic, for writes and readings.

Hi all, in my settup i decided to set mail_home in 10-mail.conf, and let dovecot do the hashing to a 2-level directory structure. mail_location = mdbox:~/mdbox:ALT=/altstorage/%h/mdbox mail_home = /vmail/%1Mu/%2.1Mu/%u In my userdb ist homedirectory not set and everythink works as expected, except when i use rawlog i get only logs in ~/dovecot.rawlog if home is set in userdb.

Hello, After update dovecot to version 2.3.x, LMTP stopped to receive big messages ( > 45 MB ). Messages are being sent to dovecot LMTP by postfix. If I change this email to another server with dovecot 2.2.x the same message are delivered immediately. Log with mail_debug = yes: Apr? 4 13:36:13 mailsrv01 dovecot: lmtp(190031): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt=

Thanks Jack. That's good to know. It is definitely something to consider. In a distributed storage scenario we might build a dedicated pool for that and tune the pool as more capacity or performance is needed.

Hi Guys, I've been desperately trying to find some comparative performance information about the different mailbox formats supported by Dovecot in order to make an assessment on which format is right for our environment. This is a brand new build, with customer mailboxes to be migrated in over the course of 3-4 months. Some details on our new environment: * Approximately 1.6M+
