similar to: Dovecot master process

I'm trying to receive a "Disconnected" message in my logfile for the connected imap-clients when I restart dovecot. When you disconnect a client, you receive the following message in your log: Mar 12 21:45:55 mail dovecot: IMAP(mailbox at domain.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=7496/22441 When a IMAP client is connected and Dovecot is restarted, this message is not shown.

I realize these are older versions, but I'd like to know specifically whether dovecot 1.1.6 and dovecot 1.1.8 are compatible index-wise. In particular, if we downgraded from 1.1.8 to 1.1.6 would there be any issues with doing so? I realize there are later versions, but we've tested both of the above extensively, but recently loaded up a server with 1.1.8 and found that the 'imap'

We are running dovecot 1.1.8 and are currently running it with 4 master processes (one for each of the protocols: imap, imaps, pop3, pop3s). The idea was to spread out the load so as to not overwhelm any one master. This has worked well. To take it further, we're contemplating running masters across multiple IP addresses, where the host/service name DNS records would be something like this:

From the Dovecot 1.0.1 sample dovecot.conf file: # If you want UIDL compatibility with other POP3 servers, use: # UW's ipop3d : %08Xv%08Xu ... # Note that Outlook 2003 seems to have problems with %v.%u format which was # Dovecot's default, so if you're building a new server it would be a good # idea to change this. %08Xu%08Xv should be pretty fail-safe. #

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

(Apologies for being offtopic.) The subject basically says it all...does anyone know of a tool to run a sieve script on a mailbox (in particular, Maildirs) manually? Ideally, I'd like to do it without adding a bunch of new headers to the mail. So, could I just do a find (or for-loop, if it was just one maildir) command and pipe all the mails into deliver..? Thanks, Neil.

I'd like to download a complete mail archive so that I can browse for problems concerning Mulberry. Is this possible, or can I only get them in monthly gulps? Cheers, Terry. --

I'm working on migrating to Dovecot. At the moment, I have a mail path that includes the domain, so I'm using %d to get that. However, if users authenticate without specifying a domain (i.e. using "bob" instead of "bob at wiktel.com"), then %d expands to nothing. I'd like to have that expand to a default domain (wiktel.com) instead. Is that possible? Thanks,

I have a phone (LG CU320) with a built-in IMAP client. However, it has some issues. For one, the phone crashes if there are greater than some-as-of-yet-determined-number-of folders. That can't be worked around at the server, but this one can: After a long session of staring at tcpdump, it appears that when it logs in it does so like this: a001 LOGIN "username" myPassword

I hate to be a pest, but are there any revelations on file descriptor "overusage" by dovecot-auth? ----- Forwarded message from Steven F Siirila <sfs at tc.umn.edu> ----- Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2007 12:42:50 -0600 From: Steven F Siirila <sfs at tc.umn.edu> To: Dovecot Mailing List <dovecot at dovecot.org> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i Subject: Re: [Dovecot] dovecot-auth file

Greetings all, I'm trying to get an understanding of a problem we are facing here. We're currently running dovecot 1.0-beta3 and have a long standing issue of system crashes on our mail server (Debian Linux 2.4.27-2-k7-smp). Here's what is happening: The machine hangs and the system load climbs as high as 80.0+. Yet, the system response is not effected. Command line is still

I am having difficulting getting to www.dovecot.org and wiki.dovecot.org. My browser tells me it can't find them. Anyone know what's up? -- Steven F.

Anyone running Dovecot on Solaris, requiring only SSL connections, and servicing thousands of simultaneous users? Our past attempts to do so have failed due to dovecot-auth using up all 256 of its file descriptors. I say 256 since we are limited to that by the 32-bit libraries. We are looking at either compiling Dovecot in 64-bit and letting dovecot-auth file descriptors accumulate (not ideal),

Currently mailbox names are stored in IMAP's modified-UTF-7 format in filesystem. I was wondering about changing this in v2.0. The default would still be to use mUTF-7 in filesystem, but just adding :UTF8 or something to mail_location could enable UTF-8. Any thoughts? Could this be dangerous somehow? UTF-8 enables a lot of weird characters, perhaps no one really wants to see them on

I am re-posting this message from last Friday, as I have seen no replies. It is critical that we address this problem, since until then we cannot put more than a few hundred users on our server. If Dovecot-auth TRULY needs to keep open a file descriptor for every single login session, we will have to start looking at alternatives. In short: Help! ----- Forwarded message from Steven F Siirila

A few RC releases ago we had a problem where a user's restored home directory contained a .imap folder either from a previous RC release or perhaps it was a different server. In any event, restoration of the user caused problems since Dovecot choked on the restored .imap index files. Removing those index files cleared the problem. I'm wondering if this is still an issue, and therefore

Okay, to convince myself that quota handling was working okay with Dovecot 1.0-rc27 on Solaris 10, I tested sending a message to an account that was purposely over-quota. The account in question had a vacation message set up. For the first test, there was no $HOME/.imap directory at all. I received the vacation message, but the message which was supposed to be delivered locally queued in Postfix

Hello list, my name is Steven and of course: I got a problem... we are using dovecot 0.99 because it?s the actual stable version for RedHat 4 Enterprise.
