[Dovecot] Get rid of inotify in 2.1.15
by Martin Rabl 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hi, after update to Dovecot 2.1.5 (Ubuntu 12.04, dovecot from https://launchpad.net/~kokelnet/+archive/dovecot21) we are getting a huge ;-) bunch of log entries about " imap(USERNAME): Warning: Inotify instance limit for user 5000 (UID vmail)". At last I did an echo 512 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances but the logentries did appear again after some minutes. Maybe you have a hint for me? Thank you! At the bottom my current configuration. -- Greetings, Martin Rabl # 2.1.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-36-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS auth_anonymous_username = anonymous

[Dovecot] statistics on proxy ???
by Marco Giunta 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hi at all, could I have imap statistics on my dovecot proxy server ?? Here my config: # 2.1.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ... mail_plugins = stats ... plugin { ... stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes } ... service stats { fifo_listener stats-mail { mode = 0666 } } ... protocol imap { ... mail_plugins = stats imap_stats } File '/var/run/dovecot/stats' is always 0 byte: # ls -la /var/run/dovecot/stats srw-------. 1 root root 0 Feb 18 14:24 /var/run/dovecot/stats and 'dovecotadm' say always: # doveadm stats dump session doveadm(root): Info: no statistics available Is there something wrong in my config, or stats are not available on proxy ??? Cheers, Marco

[Dovecot] Private message flags in shared mailboxes
by Timo Sirainen 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

I'm wondering a bit how these should work. Comments welcome. In v2.2 the recommended way to enable private flags for shared mailboxes is to create private indexes with :INDEXPVT=<path>. This creates dovecot.index.pvt[.log] files which only contain message UIDs and flags. The indexes are updated somewhat lazily by updating them whenever user has the shared mailbox opened and it gets synced. 1. What would be a good place to configure which flags are shared and which are private? Currently it forces \Seen flag to be private and others not. With Maildir I used to have the idea of configuring these in dovecot-shared file, but that's a rather annoying extra file. Then again it could be cached into dovecot.index. Another possibility would be in dovecot-acl file, but public mailboxes might be enabled without ACL plugin. Mailbox attributes (for URLAUTH and for future METADATA) also exist in v2.2, but they require configuring a dict for them, which isn't very efficient either to read every time a mailbox is accessed. Mailbox's admin user should be able to do this somehow via IMAP protocol also. METADATA would pretty much be required for that I guess. 2. Private flags aren't currently inherited from the primary (shared) flags. With user-shared mailboxes this is good, because the owner doesn't have private indexes for the mailboxes, so when owner reads a mail it gets a \Seen flag in the primary index. If that mailbox was shared to someone else, the \Seen flag shouldn't be set. But this also means that for truly shared (public) mailboxes that have no owner you can't set initial flags with Sieve's addflag command (e.g. \Seen flag to high-scored mails in Spam). I guess it could be possible to change this so that the inheritance is done for public namespaces but not for shared namespaces, but is that really a good idea either?.. 3. Currently COPY/APPEND ignore any private flags (which also means dsync won't set them always). Fixing this would require remembering these flags, committing the save to primary index, syncing the private index to get the new mails added there, then updating their flags (or doing it directly at sync stage with some kludging code). To avoid race conditions the private index would need to be locked before committing the save. I guess this is doable.. 4. Private keywords aren't supported. I guess not much worse than system flags, but more code complexity. Wonder if anyone would care about them.

[Dovecot] Quota Problems with LMTP in HG 62a930eb22b5

[Dovecot] proxy imaps
by Antonio Casado Rodriguez 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

Hi all, I had a imaps dovecot server working normal. I wanted to isolate the Internet connection by placing a proxy imap(Intranet connections still connect directly to the imap server). Yesterday I set up oneproxy imaps dovecot and thereafter, imap dovecot logs on errors: imap-login: Error: OpenSSL malloc() failed. You may need to increase login_process_size Need dovecot more memory with imap proxy connections than direct connections?
