Hello All, I've been studying dovecot for replacing my company's current system and I got a little worried about an aspect of the dovecot's design. I was surprised that dovecot doesn't use prefork for its mail processes, forking a new processes for each new client connection. Talking in the #dovecot channel I was gave a scenario of a system supporting ~40k users with 4 servers

Hi there, I'm getting a lot of this message in production log: Created dotlock file's timestamp is different than current time (1232468644 vs 1232468524): /path/to/dovecot.index.log The IT guy swears the clocks are sincronized. Whe even have made a test in the machine running dovecot, inside the user's mailbox: # > foo; ls -l --time-style=full-iso foo; date -rw-r--r-- 1 root root

Hello there, I have a "subscriptions" file that is *not* ended with a line break (created by another system). When I do a "lsub "" "*"" the last mailbox name is not listed. Debugging a little showed that it looks like i_stream_next_line() is not returning the last line if it doesn't end with a line break. Is this a bug? btw, i'm using version

Hello there, I have a client connecting to dovecot and comunicating like this: * OK Dovecot ready. * AUTHENTICATE MYAUTH + base64 challange base64_response {NNN} * NO Invalid base64 data in continued response The problem is that dovecot seems to reject the response because of the {NNN} in the end of the string. If I remove the {NNN} it authenticates just fine. Any idea of whether it's

Hello, Is it possible to configure the filename format in dovecot? For example, to change from "unique,W=size:2,FLAGS" to "unique,size.hostname:2,FLAGS_unique2"? Thanks in advance.

Hello there, I've being reading the zlib plugin and the dovecot code and I can't see a way of extending the plugin for writing compressed mails instead of just reading it. Any clue? Tks in advance, gpg

Hey, Anyone tried before, is it successful? Also, Is it possible to use the CPU VT inside Xen if it is running inside VirtualBox? I want to setup such env. for testing purpose. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, I'm testing Dovecot 2.0rc2 with mdbox mail format and I'm not sure what this exactly means: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/dbox Quote from wiki page: ===== Expunging a message only decreases the message's refcount. The space is later freed in "purge" step. This may be done automatically within the session or later in a nightly cronjob when there's less

Several times we already had the problems, that accounts with more the 1.3 or 1.7 billion e-mails in one folder run out-of-memory, even if vsize_limit of 750 MB is set. In this case, the lmtpd-process haven't been able to allocate more memory to read/write/update the index-files and crashed (and the index-files become corrupted at the end.) [Please -- don't discuss about the need of

For over a year now, I've been trying to acquire the ability to review the thread history of a message in my INBOX while still deleting messages as soon as I believe I'm done with them. Suddenly I'm gratified to see that several approaches have been right under my nose all along! One is the INTHREAD imap extension, which I see is implemented by dovecot. Another (related) is

We are using Postfix as an MTA delivering via Dovecot's LDA (with sieve). We also use Dovecot as a POP/IMAP server. Mail storage is Maildir on NFS, indexes are stored locally. Quotas are FS quotas enforced by the NFS server. The Dovecot version is 1.2.11. Recently, for one user being over quota, some attempts to deliver mail bounced as expected while some others resulted in zero-sized Maildir

Hi! What's a safe place for the separate index and uidlist files? I am planning to configure Quota/FS. Can they reside under dovecot's basedir? Is this a good idea? Does it have any significance where I put those files? Thanks, Daniel

Timo or anyone, This may be a bug or maybe a design decision. Either way I am curious to hear comments. Why do the dovecot-0.99.14 server's .imap.index files contain a cached copy of each message's date and time as supplied by the filesystem, as opposed to the date and time found in each message header? When testing various imap clients (eg. tbird-1.0.2, evolution-2.0, outlook2003,

Halo i'm studying chemistry, today we made an experiment and i have to draw a titration kurve for my mess data. we can do it on a mm paper, or we can also use a programe. people from chemistry recomend "R" last year i studied civil eng. and we used Matlab, as I see, R ist very similar to it, but its got other comands. But i think R would be a good help for some exercises. so my

Hi, I am running dovecot version 1.2.9 on a Ubuntu 10.04 server. To obtain the message's header info from this dovecot imap server, I run the following imap command on a client side's imap session: . fetch 88:90 (envelope) which returns (in this case) ------------------------------------------------------------- * 88 FETCH (ENVELOPE ("Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:45:35 -0500"

Hello. I need to know how I can get the final message file name inside a plugin like the zlib 2.0 plugin. I saw another threads about zlib plugin, but don't see no one asking about this. My interest is to use the message's file name in a specific function that will add some lines on it and, after that, calculate a md5 hash of the modified file. As the size flags will not correspond to

Hi, I originally picked mdbox because I had the impression from reading about it on the mailing list that it was more performant and that it would conserve disc space. But lately i found mailboxes have nearly double the storage as reported. I mean, IMAP QUOTA reports around 900MB for one account that has over 2GB when I inspect the mail location of the user using the linux command `du`

Hello everyone! I would like to report a bug here. We are using dovecot's sdbox with alternate storage here. From time to time my SSD partition gets full and I always find users with lots of e-mails stuck there, and altmove just won't move them. It moves most of the e-mails correctly, but a few was getting stuck everyday. So, I think I have found the problem! When a user moves the

Maildir may hardlink messages, hence, they count multiple times for the quota, but once for du. And in your case dovecot even compressed the mails: According to your doveconf, you are using mail_plugins = [...] zlib. Dovecot's quota is calculated

Hi, (my first post to the list) I'm in the process of testing Dovecot to see whether it meets our needs to replace our current Courier setup which serves well over 100.000 mailboxes (pop3 and imap: mysql with NFS) So far dovecot seems pretty straight forward; however I ran into a couple of things that I'm curious about. 1.
