I'm getting "Maximum number of mail processes exceeded" messages when 512 imap Processes are active. Dovecot reports: Warning: fd limit 1024 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 1712). Either grow the limit or change login_max_processes_count and max_mail_processes settings But in my /var/service/dovecot/run script I use: #!/bin/sh mkdir /var/core chmod

When I add the --with-pam option in my configure command I get the following error: checking for pam_start in -lpam... no configure: error: Can't build with PAM support: libpam not found PAM is most certainly installed on the machine: ii libpam-modules 0.79-5 Pluggable Authentication Modules for PAM ii libpam-runtime 0.79-5 Runtime support

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. What's the deal with

Wow! I'm running 1.1 Beta 1 on OpenSuSE linux 10.2. It seems not bad at all. The only thing I've not quite well understood is this message, that pops up when I start dovecot: Warning: fd limit 1024 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 1536). Either grow the limit or change login_max_processes_count and max_mail_processes settings Where does dovecot take this 1024

I have an courier IMAP server running. To get sib dirs working I had to rename them all to begin with a period ".". e.g Maildir Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account1/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account2/{cur,new,tmp} Maildir/.account3/{cur,new,tmp} etc If I uninstall Courier and install dovecot, will these "period" dirs be seen by default? I am fairly new to this and

Hi, We run 1.1.3 and I use Outlook to connect to my IMAP box and a couple of times per day (randomly) when I click certain folders IMAP will start retrieving ALL headers for that folder again ('retrieving new headers')! I don't understand this. What triggers IMAP to do so, why not just retrieve only the NEW headers? Is it Dovecot or Outlook (probably) and what can be done

hi together, there is a problem with my sieve: System SuSE 10.3 with Postfix in Postfix i have add to main.cf mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf is add: protocol lda { # Address to use when sending rejection mails. postmaster_address = carsten at chatlabel.de ... # Enabling Sieve plugin for server-side mail filtering mail_plugins =

Hi, I just finished setting up a functional design with Dovecot+Sieve and it works like a charm. However I'm having serious doubts about the scalability of this. Here is part of a discussion we're having here: About Dovecot+Sieve. What happens here is that your MTA is configured to pass _all_ email to Dovecot which is configured as a LDA. In practice this means this in the Exim

Hello dovecot Problem : maildirsize and dovecot quota get have different values dovecot version : 2.2.13 happens with : some mailboxes This issue happens only to some mailboxes and only for a specific period of time until maildirsize gets updated by something (not me). I can't reproduce this now because it happened this morning and now its 2 PM and the problem is gone

Hello, I have a problem about updating Maildirsize file. It seems that the Maildirsize file is not updated after user does POP mail from his maildir. I do not want to use any quota limitation in Dovecot. I only want Dovevot to update the Maildirsize file after user retrieves his mail. The Maildirsize file is created by Postfix. Would it be possible to do like this? How can I configure it?

Hi, One of my email accounts has 1,5gb of emails in INBOX, but maildirsize shows only 528mb. 'du' also shows 1,5gb and there are 3809 files in cur directory. When I use mailbox status a can see correct values: doveadm -f table mailbox status -u user at domain.sk "messages vsize" INBOX* messages vsize INBOX 3809 1521049349 but when I check the quotas with doveadm:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm having some problems with quota from sql (maildir++) and dovecot + maildrop. I'm using maildrop for MDA and dovecot as IMAP server. When an e-mail arrives, maildrop calculates the quota and updates the 'maildirsize' file. When i use dovecot (webmail, thunderbird) it updates the 'maildirsize' too, overwriting it, but in a

When using maildir++ quotas, if you delete an IMAP folder, the maildirsize file should get updated so that it subtracts the size of the messages that were contained in the deleted IMAP folder. However Dovecot is not doing this, resulting in Dovecot showing an incorrect quota value until the next time the maildirsize file is rebuilt. Bill

I found a problem with maildir++ quota. When dovecot creates maildirsize file, it counts quota wrong. This is, how I reproduce a situation on version 1.2.0: First, I remove maildirsize file: # cd /var/mail/test # rm -f maildirsize # ls -la total 32 drwx--S--- 5 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:45 . drwxrwsr-x 3 root mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:39 .. drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 20:45 cur -rw------- 1 mbox

Hello all, Recently I have received a few complaints from users that their quota was being reported wrong. This seems to have started when I switched to quota=maildir and ignore=Trash (did both at the same time). The main reported problem is that maildirsize is not correctly updated when they delete messages. My personal hypothesis is something like this: - User moves to Trash - Trash

Using maildir++ with LDA and POP/IMAP we have been seeing intermittant maildirsize corruption. Where an operation will be prepended by a handful of ASCI null characters ^@^@. Eg: # cat maildirsize 5120000S -46895 -1 93359 1 60576 1 2858 1 49547 1 -206340 -4 94603 1 84785 1 54463 1 82486 1 97104 1 ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@40488 1 73397 1 83662 1 24668 1 42673 1 12081 1 -713606 -12 The instances of this

Dears Sirs, I've noticed that since the Courier to Dovecot migration have had few problems with the %usage of email accounts as they do not reflect the real use, to fix this I have to manually delete the file maildirsize and run the command vuserinfo user at domain.com, depending on your experience may be the cause of this problem? thanks Jose Luis

Hello, My "exim" is doing the deliveries, "dovecot" handles POP/IMAP.

Hello, Is there any reason that maildirsize Quota store should not work in dbox folders or any other folder based mailbox stores? I have patched a test version here and it seems to work (added "dbox" check in src/plugins/quota/quota-maildir.c line 785). If there could be any complications or unexpected consequences of this setup? Thanks in advance luben
