I'm a new dovecot user, just began using it last week. I switched from courier because my research showed that Dovecot did indexes, and allows me to store them anywhere I chose. I did this, and it fixed some severe disk IO issues that my server had. (25k horde only webmail install using imap proxy). I'm using quotas, and by default had it set to 'dirsize'. my postfix is already

I'm getting this error from time-to-time when using VI under FreeBSD_4.9-prerelease: Error: input: Resource temporarily unavailable Basically, VI just exits/crashes (no core dump). The load average is pretty low: 4:18PM up 10 days, 23:42, 4 users, load averages: 0.13, 0.21, 0.21 And I don't seem to have any other problems with the system. Wondering what this might be, or if

We have a Sun E450 running Solaris 8 and Samba 2.2.8a as our domain controller. We have had no problems with Samba until earlier this week when we have started to get lots of these errors in log.smbd: [2003/08/08 16:29:14, 0] lib/debug.c:(348) Unable to open new log file /home/samba_pearl/var/log.smbd: Too many open file s This has been happening once a day, at the same time some users are not

I posted some questions a few months back and received lots of great help in getting my dovecot/postfix/LDAP setup working. Initially, I ran into the pipe failed too many open files error. I am running this setup on OpenBSD/sparc64 4.1-stable and so I put dovecot in its own class and upped the maxfiles setting for that class. This was back with dovecot 1.0 and everything worked fine. I

Hi all, I'm having an intermittent problem logging users in through a webmail client (RoundCube). My maillog reports this: auth(default): vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away imap-login: Disconnected: user=<sales at coppersinkdepot.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured The MySQL server hasn't gone anywhere, I can log into it fine and other apps

Hi All, I just upgraded to the new 1.1rc5 from 1.0 that I had been using and it advised me to increase the file descriptor limit. I'm not sure how to do this. There is a command built into tcsh that allows me to do this called limit, but sudo limit 4224 doesn't work, and usually dovecot is started from the rc.local file if I recall right, and I'm not sure how to set this up from

I've got exim set up to deliver like this: command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -a $original_local_part@$original_domain -d $local_part@$domain -f $sender_address If an email to is bob+sales at ish.com.au then we should have "-a bob+sales at subdomain.ish.com.au -d bob at ish.com.au". Now in dovecot, only bob at ish.com.au is a real user but I want to be able to

I am running Dovecot 1.0rc15 on NetBSD 3.1 with only a few connections. It is built from pkgsrc-2006Q3, with mail/dovecot/ updated to HEAD. kqueue is a default build option - I haven't tried without yet. Mail directories/indexes are on a Linux 2.6.16.29 NFS file system, I have set these options and it performs well: mmap_disable=yes lock_method=fcntl FYI. rc7 had very high CPU use with the

Hello everyone, First of all, great job on the 4.8-R. We have been a long standing user of FreeBSD and are very happy with everything. Now my question. I am trying to stress test a new Dell PowerEdge server and find the limits of its hardware and my tuning. Here are the server stats: * 2x Xeon 2.8 with SMP compiled, hyperthreading NOT compiled in kernel * 4 GB of RAM, 8 GB of swap on Raid 1

Andre, Are you going to have time to MFC things from -current for auto-tuning -stable before 9.2? I fear (maybe unnecessarily?) that we are about to ship yet another release that can't do basic 10gigE when sufficient memory exists. If you don't have time, then let me know and I'll see what I can do. -- Alfred Perlstein VP Software Engineering, iXsystems

I also keep on getting funny errors of dovecot EVEN THOUGH I authenticated successfully through SMTP (Dovecto SASL) ?!?! Just for debugging this entire issue I set those parameters: debug_level = -1 auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = yes auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes mail_debug = yes verbose_ssl = yes cat /var/loca/maillog Jan 26 12:08:22 WM-01

Hello, For two days in a row, I've noticed that my dovecot server (hosted on a PowerMac running OS X) has stopped working, with a bunch of error messages in /var/log/mail.log like: May 24 07:31:10 top dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files To solve this, I have to kill -9 dovecot and the (many) imap processes running. The only client accessing the server is a machine running

We have 10 SuperMicro PDSMi+ 5015M-MTs that are panic'ing every few days. This started shortly after upgrade from 6.2-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE with freebsd-update. Other than switching to a debugging kernel, a little sysctl tuning, and patching with freebsd-update, they are stock. The debugging kernel was built from source that is also being patched with freebsd-update. These systems are

This happend since I've upgraded bind 9.21 to 9.6.0. I've increased the max open files to 4096: sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=4096 which shows it resized from 4040->4096 But I guess it's different for bind? I've googled and found several references to this warning message, but everyone states it's not a problem and shouldn't be concerned. Some real advice would be

Hello everyone, Few weeks ago I tuned icecast with 7 streams from ices. It plays static playlists, sorted by genre. I have 2 problems. First problem: pure quality when reencoding is turned on. Temporary solution was found. I added one string, to reencoding code, that points to liblame use better quality. But is this the one and right solution? Second problem: Ices (or liblame?) does not properly

Hi, Some words about my Dovecot setup: - 10 dovecot servers - each server has some local mailboxes - each server has proxying enabled to seamlessly connect to another host if the mailbox is not local Running Dovecot 1.1.1 on FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p3. First of all, local mailbox access is fine. Proxying works also as expected. Now for the actual problem: Shortly after startup, Dovecot starts

Hi Tom and list, Still trying to set up Shorewall logging. I understand that Shorewall require syslog to get logging working, however I have metalog. Is this possible to use metalog as logging facility for Shorewall? I was reading http://www.shorewall.net/shorewall_logging.html and it describes other method ( ULOG ). I understand that I have to compile ULOG support in the kernel... where do I

This to announce a test release of 2.1.0p1 before making it widely available. This release includes many fixes to problems reported over the last week. In particular: - spurious error and coredumps caused by the inbuilt entropy gathering - RSAref detection - Compilation fixes for Solaris and others It also contains (completely untested) support for compiling without RSA support. This may be

I'm just writing to see if anyone else is seeing the following issues, and particularly if they are running OS X (especially 10.4), and/or have compatible solutions (I've been reading the mailing list quite a bit, and every now and then, I find a solution that just "doesn't work" because of the differences in OS: 1) Too many files open - no plimit command on OS X, so I
