Hi, I am running dovecot 1.1.10 and 1.1.11 on Solaris 10, mailboxes are in mbox format and served by Solaris 10 NFSv3, the dovecot cache is on local disk. Some of my users always had above nfs error and their mailbox usually very big, over 100M, 400M, or even 800M. Grandy

Hi chaps We're using the mbox_snarf plugin to snarf mail from /var/mail/%U to ~%U/Mail/inbox and using dotlocking on all accesses. This is on Solaris with NFS mounted home directories. We're getting a few (very few) of these for just a couple of users: Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy Which, having searched, I see some discussion of in the

Hi, Looks like there are still some Solaris rmdir() warnings being logged to syslog in 1.1.rc1 in nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir(): Feb 23 13:09:51 sx3 dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(ran04): \ nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy Manual for rmdir on Solaris states: EBUSY The directory to be removed is the mount point for a mounted

Hi, I'm getting a lot of syslog spam on FreeBSD 10 from nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir where, apparently it tries to rmdir() the mountpoint of my mail storage. > Jul 4 00:04:44 mailhost dovecot: imap(user at example.com): Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail/vhosts/example.com) failed: Device busy We're using ZFS and have /var, /var/mail, /var/mail/vhosts,

Hi there I'm redirecting e-mails from mikkel at euro123.dk to another account (mikkel2 at euro123.dk) using sieves "redirect" with sieve 1.1.3. The e-mail is redirected just fine. But deliver still creates a core dump and returns an "e-mail undeliverable" to the sending account (even though delivery is successful). My .dovecot.sieve contains just this: redirect

I'm looking for some help with an nfs error that is filling our logs. I get a constant stream of these messages: Jul 8 10:47:08 servername dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(username): nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy I have two dovecot IMAP servers. All mailboxes are NFS mounted. The INBOX is /var/mail and the rest are in

Hi, Last time, I have got no reply, hope this time is better. OS: Solaris 10 Dovecot version : 1.1.1 file system of /var/mail : NFS from Solaris file system of /home : other NFS server that not support rquotad. Here is my setting that works: ---------------------------- plugin { quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/var/mail quota2 = fs:home:noenforcing:mount=/home/h1 } The above settings works. Dovecot

Hi, Under Solaris 8, the rmdir() command returns EEXIST instead of ENOTEMPTY if an rmdir() is attempted on a directory with files still in it. Dovecot 1.1beta9 currently gives tons of errors in the logfile as a result of the code not checking for the right error value. The function nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir() in nfs-worksarounds.c probably needs to reflect EEXIST as well as ENOTEMPTY. --

Hello, I'm testing version 1.1.12 and occasionally there is Mar 18 14:40:44 imap2 dovecot: [ID 107833 mail.error] IMAP(xyz): nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/home/xyz) failed: Device busy It seems that it is related to a crash of the previous imap process of that user. And it doesn't seem to cause any problems. So can it safely be ignored ? It is on Solaris 10. Index storage

We are running Dovecot 2.0.12. It runs on only one server and /var/mail is local where all the INBOX's are stored. Users other IMAP folders are NFS mounted on the server. We see frequent Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy I know this error message has been around a long time. Should we still be seeing it on 2.0.12 with a local /var/mail. Perhaps

Acutally I really don't want Dovecot to handle quota on my home directory, I only want Dovecot to hand quota on /var/mail. That's why I put "noenforcing" in configuration

The following shows up in the "orphaned page" list of the Wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxLocking?action=show&redirect=MboxSoftwareLocks Does the description of Dovecot mbox locking still apply to current versions? If yes, it should be linked from the "Troubleshooting" page. -- Jim Garrison (jhg at acm.org) PGP Keys at http://www.jhmg.net RSA 0x04B73B7F DH 0x70738D88

Each time mail is deleted from mbox mailbox the whole mbox while needs to be rewritten to remove the mail. OpenSMTPD and Dovecot run on the same machine. OpenSMTPD receives incoming mails and

hi, a potential mechanize user here. i''ve looked at the API but it''s not clear what capacity there is to arbitrarily set the headers - does mechanize allow for this? mechanize is clearly great for web browsing, but i also need to construct get and post requests from scratch. i''ve looked at net:http, libcurl, openuri, but mechanize seems simpler and more functional than

There are three applications that have their mitts on files on my mail server, which is running AIXV5.3 and UWIMAP and mbox format. The mail folders and INBOXES are native to that machine, but also are NFS exported to a login server and a mailing list server. All three machines are running the lockd daemon. Everybody wants to lock differently 1) procmail (delivering for sendmail), which

dovecot-1.0-1.1.rc15.fc6 When I attempt to drag spam from one IMAP box to another it tells me that I have an invalid mbox format for some emails. Occasionally too when I click on that email box it gives me the same error. uw-imapd never gave me those problems. I use Thunderbird 1.5.0.10 and have the same problem on Windoze XP and MacOSX. Can I and how do I solve this problem? Marc

Hello, I have recently installed Mailscanner/postfix for the mail server and dovecot for (mainly remote) access to email (via T'bird etc. and/or Webmail). Most users still use text mail clients (mutt, pine, some still old elm) while in the office. These clients access mail (both incoming at /var/mail/ and users' private folders in ~/Mail) directly. I wonder whether this mixing of dovecot

Hello, The "new" way of creating default mailboxes doesn't work for us. There seems to be a permission problem. We get this in the logs: imap(testuser at domain.com): Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy That error message has nothing to do with NFS (not used) or /var/mail and appears every time an app is requesting a list of folders via
