Panic: IMAP: Trying to allocate 2273345672 bytes
Hi, we're running dovecot 1.1.2 (centos5 32-bit rpm from atrpms) havn't
had any real issues with it, but today it looks like an index has become
badly corrupted. We're seeing this in the logs every time we log in to a
particular account:

%d in deliver
Hi there,
I run a system that has a lot of virtual users. We invoke deliver from
exim and pass the directory to deliver into using the HOME environment
variable, so deliver doesn't do any database lookups during the delivery
process. The exim pipe environment is described at
http://exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/index.html#toc0239,
but basically I'd like to know the domain

error bad file number with compressed mbox files
Hello,
can dsync convert from compressed mbox to compressed mdbox format?
When I use compressed mbox files, either with gzip or with bzip2, I can
read the mails as usual, but I find the following errors in dovecots log

Dovecot deliver uidlist issues
Hi all,
Lets say I have a maildir which doesn't contain any dovecot files but
has some emails lying around in it. If I add a message to this mailbox
using deliver, dovecot creates the uidlist file with a single entry (the
message that was just delivered). When I then log in to the mailbox, all
the other messages are added into the uidlist file in the normal order
(directory list order I

1.1.6 -> 1.1.7 regression: dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files
Hi all,
We updated to 1.1.7 a week or two back from 1.1.6 (both standard atrpms
builds). Since doing so, twice now I've seen the imap services accept
connections but they hang before the banner is printed (pop seems to be
unaffected). I see this in the logs:

Effects of going read-only on dovecot & pop/imap clients
Hi all,
We need to set our filestore to read-only for quite a while, and I want
to mitigate the effects for our clients. First issue; dovecot. If we
just change the nfs mounts to read-only, dovecot complains:

Poor pop3 over nfs performance
Hi,
About a week ago I upgraded our reasonably heavily loaded mail servers
from a pretty recent courier version to dovecot-1.1rc10. IMAP
performance on dovecot is amazing, however POP3 performance is worse
than courier :-( I have uploaded some munin graphs taken today to
http://linweb.atlas.pipex.net/dovecot/; the dovecot server is handling
about 2000 pop logins/sec and 300 imap sessions (but

help: "dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files"
Dear All,
I'm having an intermittent problem, with dovecot slowing to a crawl.
Restarting dovecot fixes the problem.
Looking at the maillog, I see loads of these errors....

usernames with/without domain - my solution
My existing pop3/imap environment is courier imap + vpopmail + qmail with MySQL backend. I'm looking at migrating this to Dovecot.
Currently I have multiple instances of Courier bound to different loopback IPs (the IPs correspond with the virtual IPs on a server load balancer). When a user authenticates they don't have to specify a domain - if they don't, Courier will use a

RFC: Storing indexes in a (remote) database to increase dovecot scalability
Hi all,
This is just an idea I had over the weekend; I was wondering if instead
of storing the indexes/caches on disk, it would be possible to have an
option to store them in a remote database (eg mysql). There are several
issues that we currently have with scaling dovecot, and I think that if
it could store indexes in an external database we could alleviate most
of these issues. In no particular

Bug: Fixed a duplicate
I restored a dovecot mailserver today, and when I started the server
again, the logs filled up with "Fixed a duplicate" warnings.
This in itself it not a problem, the problem is that it appears the fix
is not done correct. Consider this:

Unbreakable NFS locking issues...
Hello All,
We are struggling to find a solution to a problem we are encountering
with a load-balanced email setup. Currently, we have a Coyote loadbalancer,
and 3 Postfix/Dovecot nodes that then get their information from a mysql
database. The problem is that after a couple weeks, we start seeing NFS
locking issues occur, which then takes email completely down, requiring a

Maildir size report for imap?
Hi guys,
It would be really nice if there were an easy way to see how much space
an individual imap account used when a user logged out; something like
pop3_logout_format = size=%s. I appreciate that this isn't so easy in
imap though - I was thinking of using the quota plugin with no limit or
something like that.

nfs_flush_fcntl
Hi,
It seems that after I upgraded to 1.1beta1 it takes a few seconds first
time I access a folder and i get this error :
fcntl(/mail2/home/jon/.Maildir/.INBOX.Pren/dovecot.index.cache, F_RDLCK)
failed: Bad file descriptor. No errors after that and it works fine. is
this expected. Is it ok to continue using this?

auth-worker temporary failures causing lmtp 500 rejection
Hi there,
I'm using dovecot 2.0.16 with a mysql user database. From time to time
when we have a big influx of messages (perhaps more than 30 concurrent
rcpt to:<> sessions at the same time so no auth-workers free?) or when
we have a transient issue connecting to the database server, we see the
message:

Dovecot / FreeBSD / Nfs mailstore / Index=memory
Hello,
I have recently changed imap from Courier-imap to dovecot because of
serial problems with courier-imap, I have being forced to do it very
quickly... and without extensives tests.
I have 3 mails servers (freebsd based) behind a load balancer and a
nfs mailstore on a netapp.
On my first tests I have setup the index into some nfs shared mount,
but it seems that some imap clients are
