[Dovecot] something similar to last login but for aliases
by Bradley Giesbrecht 03 Nov '09

I'm using dovecot deliver with postfix. Is there a place to hook in a db update when an alias is hit? I'm wanting to delete aliases that haven't been used in x time. Thank you, Brad

[Dovecot] second fs quota root crashes
by Juergen Obermann 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hallo. In our dovecot 1.2.6 server running under Solaris 9 I would like to set up a second quota root because the mail folders are in the users home directories and the inboxes of all users are in /var/mail. As soon as I add quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail the imap client crashes repeatedly as soon as the user tries to open a mail folder. Thanks for any help.

[Dovecot] Author wanted for Dovecot article in Linux Magazine (Germany)
by Markus Feilner 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi list, I am an editor at the German Linux Magazine and I am searching for an author or input on Dovecot, its advantages and especially the recent features. I had organized some authors, but unfortunately they don't have time right now. :-) Nevertheless I heard many positive comments on Dovecot. I can write or help writing the article, but I would love to have some input from an experienced dovecot admin - perhaps with some stunning, unusual setup that might interest our readers (most of them are skilled admins and programmers...) Something that can't be easily done with other mail servers would be great, something spectacular that is suitable to convince an mail admin why he should migrate to Dovecot. It won't be long, just about 2-3 pages (a maximum of 15000 characters) including screen shots and/or listings, code, > 10 Links and an author's biography with photo. Anybody interested? That would be great, feel free to send me a mail to: mfeilner(a)linuxnewmedia.de Unfortunately, we don't have much time, there's only two weeks left, but I will help and do a lot of work for the article. And don't worry about language! :-) Thanks a lot! -- Best Regards - Mit freundlichen Gruessen Markus Feilner ------------------------- Feilner IT Linux & GIS Linux Solutions, Training, Seminare und Workshops - auch Inhouse Koetztingerstr 6c 93057 Regensburg Telefon: +49 941 8 10 79 89 Mobil: +49 170 3 02 70 92 WWW: www.feilner-it.net mail: mfeilner(a)feilner-it.net Bei Xing: http://www.xing.com/profile/Markus_Feilner -------------------------------------- My OpenVPN book - OPENVPN : Building and Integrating Virtual Private Networks http://www.packtpub.com/openvpn/book My new book - Out now: SCALIX Linux Administrator's Guide http://www.packtpub.com/scalix/book

[Dovecot] Dovecot in-house benchmarking
by Joseba Torre 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, Before some major changes in our infrastructure, I was interested in the performance impact of moving indexes to our NAS (Emc Celerra v5.5). So I downloaded both dovecot-1.1.19 and dovecot-1.2.6, compiled them and wrote 2 confs for each of them, one with local indexes and another with indexes in the NAS. Then I created 19 pam users, and tested system performance this way: - uninstall current installed version - install a new version - start dovecot - for each user run: imaptest user=user pass=pass host=localhost port=143 mbox=${MBOX} seed=123 secs=300 | tail -1 > file - stop dovecot I'm not sure if these tests are real, but our results are: * In our conf, 1.1.19 and 1.2.6 performance are roughly the same * Moving the indexes to our NAS makes the system 3 times slower As we currently only have 1 system accessing mails or indexes, I tried later with nfs_* = no, and mmap_disable = no. This makes performance 10% better in any situation. Our testing setup (very close to the real one) - Dell PowerEdge 2850, 2 P4 Xeon 3GHz, 3GB RAM - RHEL 4.7 (not sure about this, the last RHEL4) 32 bits - mailboxes are always in a nfs filesystem - for testing mbox file I've used dovecot-cvs.mbox I've attached a couple of graphs to show this results (I've a lot of them, but result are pretty close from one to another). Also, dovecot -n output for 1.2.6 with indexes in the NAS. Only needed changes have been applied from one conf to another. If you feel that the benchmark can be more "real" with some changes, just tell me. Also, if you are interested in the rest of graphs or date, tell me. Next week I'll be quite busy, but as soon as possible I'll test with an iSCSI disk for indexes. Aaaaaaaaaaagur. -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, área de Explotación

[Dovecot] How to see if sieve is active ?
by Koenraad Lelong 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, I think I activated sieve, but it's doing nothing. I know manage-sieve works so I made some rules. But they do nothing. I ran sieve-test, which seems to work, but does not move the mail I test. Is this how it works ? I thought the -e parameter just "tested" the rules and did nothing and my command was supposed to do the "real thing". I read there should be a log. I don't find this, how should I enable this ? I just found that lda can have a separate log. I'll enable this and see. I read the wiki-page different times, but I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I attached some files. Sieve-test.txt is the command and output from sieve-test. Phpscript.sieve is the file .dovecot.sieve points to, and dovecot-config is my dovecot config ;-). Thanks for any pointers.

[Dovecot] dovecot-shared and shared "\Seen" flags
by Dave 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

(Running Dovecot 1.1.0) Is it possible to either - (a) Still have shared "\Seen" flags even while using the dovecot-shared file or (b) Indicate to Dovecot in some way other than the dovecot-shared file which permissions to use for any messages created? The problem is, in my shared folder (using symlinks) scenario I am using, I have to use the dovecot-shared file to make sure new messages get written with the correct user and group permissions so that everyone appropriate can access them, but I still would like the functionality of the shared "\Seen" flags in these shared/symlinked folders (which having dovecot-shared seems to knock out). Is it possible to do both somehow? Dave

Option (a) sounds like the cleanest solution, but a bit of testing showed that Postfix doesn't wait on deliver before replying to DATA so this seems to always result in a bounce. I've perused the postfix documentation but so far no luck; if anyone reading this has any insight on how we might configure postfix to behave this way, could you please let me know (maybe offlist would be best, as this may be considered somewhat off-topic). We are using something similar to option (b) currently, but it's not really an elegant approach and we would really like to move away from it. Option (a) sounds great, if we can somehow get it to work. TIA, Marty

[Dovecot] Question about Windows Mail for Vista IMAP client
by Stewart Dean 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

When TBird logs on, it does it quietly, that is it opens one or two logins. When you start working it'll open a few more. Quiet, no thrashing around When WM4Vista opens, it appears to login and disconnect (immediately) once for every folder a person has. 20 folders, 20 logins and disconnect, ripple fire. Anybody have an idea why WM4V is so busy and TB is quiet doing the same thing? I fell over this doing testing on V1.2.6 but find it's also the case back on my production V1.1.15 -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035
