similar to: odd behavior with Dovecot LDA

I just upgraded our test server from rc6 to rc10... ISSUE #1 I noticed that we no longer are getting two "From_" lines. However, the one that was good (had the original sender e-mail address) is now gone. The one with "dovecot.deliver" remains. I attempted to add "-d test" to the mailbox_command line in main.cf as follows: mailbox_command =

We are running Postfix 2.3.3 and Dovecot 1.0-RC27 on a Solaris 10 server. We use the Dovecot LDA for local delivery. Problems arise with looping mail whenever a user's .forward contains a reference to themselves. This most frequently occurs when a user sets up a vacation since it then puts this in their .forward file: \username, "|/usr/bin/vacation username" The vacation program

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

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),

Under Dovecot 1.0-rc27 on Solaris 10 we noticed this error today affecting one of our users repeatedly: Mar 28 14:02:01 myhost dovecot: IMAP(myuser): file mbox-sync-rewrite.c: line 423 (mbox_sync_read_and_move): assertion failed: (need_space == (uoff_t)-mails[idx].space) Mar 28 14:02:01 myhost dovecot: IMAP(myuser): Raw backtrace: 0x7ac54 -> 0x42cd4 -> 0x3e968 -> 0x3f54c -> 0x3f980

We've seen two issues come up with Dovecot LDA, both of which have caused us problems: 1) If the user's home directory does not exist, or is not owned by them, deliver fails and causes the mail message to bounce back to the originator. In our environment this happens when our user is moved to another server (where we move their files, but for up to 24 hours afterwards,

We are running Dovecot 1.0.0 using mbox format (currently in the midst of conversion from UW IMAP). We discovered today that the Dovecot LDA is accessing the user's INBOX at delivery time! Not only do our users rely on this access time being when they last accessed their e-mail, we also rely on it to migrate "inactive" users to cheaper disk. I consider this a major bug for us and

Hello, I have searched but have not found any information on logging imap actions. I want to log when someone uses imap to delete, move, copy, etc. This would greatly help me when someone deletes an email and asks where it went. I get this fairly often from a few users. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Michael A. Painter Jr. -------------- next part

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

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

For those running Dovecot on Solaris, what are your positive/negative experiences with building the software with CC vs. GCC? We are currently letting ./configure find our gcc and build with it, but wondered if anyone has any experience with Sun CC (does it even compile, for example). -- Steven F.

For lack of a better name, we are interested in a feature where one could get a notice out to all Dovecot users as quickly as possible, possibly without going through an MTA even. Given a message and a list of userids we could certainly do a mailing on the MDA server itself going through both Postfix and Dovecot LDA. However, we were wondering what other options we might have in Dovecot. For
