[Dovecot] NFS Maildirs
by Martijn de Munnik 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hi, We have our user homedirs on nfs so I enabled nfs parameters in dovecot.conf. Everything works fine but when I want to delete a homedir of a user I can't delete it because I can't remove the .nfs files in the Maildir. I don't want to stop dovecot, remove the homedir and start dovecot. Is there another way to accomplish this. Thanks, Martijn # 1.2.12: /etc/opt/redknot/dovecot.conf Warning: fd limit 256 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 4096).

[Dovecot] Applemail did not sync when MailTags enabled
by mailinglists＠belfin.ch 22 Jul '10

22 Jul '10

Hi I run dovecot 1.2.11. One of my users turned on MailTags in his AppleMail with the effect that he could not anymore synchronize his imap folders. No error message, just endless waiting. Has anybody experienced a similar behaviour? Thanks John

[Dovecot] Feature request: usernames and passwords
by Thanos Chatziathanassiou 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

A relatively recent development that spammers got wind of is users that have username==password, with/without the domain. I am tracking numerous 1-off attempts from bots to gain access to mailboxes this way. Situation isn't made any better if you're also using dovecot as SMTP AUTH provider for I am ashamed to admit I've relayed some spam that way. Would it be possible to deny login if username==password with a (non?)polite/custom message to go change your password to something less obvious ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 progress?
by Guy 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hi, Been having a look at the roadmap on the wiki for Dovecot 2.0 and I was wondering how that's progressing? Are you able to offer a guesstimate on how far it is from stable Timo? Just asking because we're moving to new servers soon and I'm considering using the opportunity to switch from Dovecot/Maildrop/Maildir to Dovecot/deliver/mdbox if 2.0 is likely to be reasonably safe to use in the next month or so. Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

[Dovecot] Dinamic 'mail_location' for each user
by Thiago Henrique 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hello, I have a lot of domains in a mail server, so I make a balanced allocation of mailboxes in the storage disks. That improves performance of access to records. Therefore, I want to overwrite 'mail_location' directive for each user. But I also want to use the modifier 'H' to spray the mailboxes of the same partition in a hash. Then, each user has your own 'mail_location' that I would like load from database. Like this: mdbox:/var/spool/imap/partition1/%256HRu/%u:INDEX=/var/lib/imap/user/% 256HRu/%u partition1 is in range [partition1 .. partiton7] In my tests the '%256HRu/%u' kind of 'mail_location' is not being interpreted by Dovecot. Can Dovecot to interpret 'mail_location' load from database ? Thank you. -- []'s Thiago Henrique Network Administration Digirati Networks K8 Networks
