Hi, I experimented with Dovecot a while back and our site is now taking the plunge to switch to it from the UW IMAP server when we rejig the topology of our mail store and IMAP servers. Currently we have a farm of 5 IMAP servers running the UW server. Each has locally attached disk used to store people's mailboxes. Each user is allocated to one of these five servers and can only

Greetings - I've just discovered an oddity I didn't know I had... We have two NetApp filers: one serves people's home directories; the other their message store and control files filestores. At the moment the first of the two filers is not accessible to my Dovecot system and I assumed all would be well because, as far as I knew, I wasn't using it at all. However in

We are seeing some poor performance recently that is focused around users with large mailboxes (100,000 message /INBOX, 80,000 message subfolders, etc). The performance problem manifests as very high system% utilization - basically iowait for NFS. There are two imap servers with plenty of horsepower/memory/etc. They are connected to a 3050c cluster via gig-e. Here are the mount options:

Greetings - I was just wondering what the state of play was with regard to reading filestore-based quotas when the mailstore is NFS-mounted? Timo mentioned a little while ago that he'd be including it: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-May/022594.html However it isn't in 1.0.1 and isn't mentioned in the release notes for 1.0.2. Is it going to be a 1.1 feature or

hi, it'd be very useful to include the quota warning patch in official release. without it the quota support is not really useful since mail simple dropped when quota is over. and most enduser never know what happend, they just recognize mails are not coming:-( thanks. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Greetings - I'm finalising the layout of our new mailstore ready for a trial service using Dovecot (switching from the UW IMAP server). This is using Maildir mailboxes, changing from our current mix of MBX and traditional Berkeley. One of the things we are often asked for is how someone can grant another access to their mailbox: eg, a Head of Department wants the Departmental

Greetings - Could someone help me understand what the latest situation id with regard to ACLs and sharing mailboxes, please? Currently we are using Dovecot 1.0.x but will be moving to 1.1 when it comes out of Beta (and hopefully I'll get some time before too long to try building a test setup to play with). So I'm happy to talk only about ACLs and sharing mailboxes in 1.1... We

Greetings - I'm having trouble working out where to alter this behaviour (so please forgive me if it turns out to be an Exim thing rather than Dovecot!)... My test service is using Exim as the MTA and Dovecot's "deliver" for the LDA. We are using Maildir mailboxes with filestore quotas. When I send a large test message to myself that cannot be delivered because I

Hi, Our dovecot setup consists of two hosts running dovecot-1.0.beta9 with Maildir/indices stored on NFS(noac,actimeo=0 used). I am seeing these messages at times - but no real problems on the client side. Is this something to worry about? dovecot: Oct 17 10:33:31 Error: IMAP(user): Corrupted index cache file mailstore/user/Maildir/.mail.incoming/dovecot.index.cache: invalid record size

Greetings - I've now got as far as playing with the imaptest10 test utility to see if I can stress-test our development server. imaptest10 is built against dovecot-1.0rc28 It may just be that I'm excessively heavy handed, but when I let imaptest10 rip with the command... ./imaptest10 user=test%03d host=testserver.imap.york.ac.uk clients=50 mbox=./dovecot.mbox msgs=1000 secs=30

Hello - I know I am not the only one that will be trying, or has tried this before. Here are my questions! NFS Clients, multiple servers running dovecot - linux with 2.6 kernel with relevant patches (utime, etc) Backend - netapp filer End users - various clients all running IMAP It looks like 1.0.beta8 is definately the way to go. I have a few questions with regards to setup. Is it now

Hello. We have a number of Xen 3.4.2. boxes which have constant iowaits at around 10% with spikes up to 100% when accessing data over NFS. We have been unable to nail down the issue. Any advice?

Picture: A set of very similar UN*X IMAP servers all NFS-mounting their INBOX area (traditional Unix format) from a common "/var/spool/mail" area; activity for any given user ought to be within one box although this cannot be 100% guaranteed. There is the risk of multiple simultaneous access (e.g. simultaneous LDA/delivers; simultaneous LDA/deliver and user-driven IMAP update; etc.).

Sorry for the delayed response, Louis, I'm not sure how to tell about having "cifs/UPN" - Please advise. I was able to mount with sec=krb5 after the user is logged in but that does not help getting "home" mounted during the login. But here is where I am now: I have been able to pam_mount "home" during the login but could not get the ACLs during the mount
