I've thought about doing this someday (adding snapshots to a user's namespace) but never got around to doing it. Snapshots get rotated (e.g. hourly.1 -> hourly.2 -> etc.) so every hour, so any indices produced gets invalidated. You would need to generate MEMORY indices to create it on the fly. Something like namespace snapshots { location = ...:INDEX==MEMORY ... } I'm not sure how dovecot would react when NetApp pulls the rug out from under one of the hourly snapshots and replace it with the next hour's version.

SSL problem - no banner

Hi, I am running dovecot 2.2.22-1ubuntu2.4 on a ubuntu 16.04 server. It has a valid Letsencrypt certificate but the problem also happens with a self-digned one. Only openssl s_client -connect localhost:993 works fine and fast, while all MUA's and telnet does not. Telnet timeouts waiting for banner after a minute or so: root@netuno:~# openssl s_client -connect localhost:993 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=2 O = Digital Signature Trust Co., CN = DST Root CA X3 verify return:1 depth=1 C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = Let's Encrypt Authority X3 verify return:1 (...) Start Time: 1496081321 Timeout : 300 (sec) Verify return code: 0 (ok) --- * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. 0 logout * BYE Logging out 0 OK Logout completed. closed root@netuno:~# telnet localhost 993 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. (about 1 minute later...) Connection closed by foreign host. root@netuno:~# I Have enabled verbose_ssl = yes and mail_debug = yes but no useful info got to logs. Has anyone seen this? Any hint? Thanks, best regards. -- *Marcio Merlone*

Two domains, same users
by Sandbox 01 Jun '17

Hi, I have two LDAP domains, which has some equal users, eg: abc(a)domain1.com abc(a)domain2.com I sat up this config: domain1 users maildirs are stored in /home/vmail/username domain2 users maildirs are stored in /home/vmail/domain2/username This works fine except one thing: i cant set up the ldap query to choose the correct maildir if the user names are equal. Is it possible to use a user_filter which will choose the correct maildir and user/domain from the email address? My current ldap.conf for domain1: hosts = ldap.domain1.com base = ou=People,dc=domain1,dc=com ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = uid=user user_filter = (uid=%n) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (uid=%n) default_pass_scheme = MD5 and for domain2: hosts = ldap.domain2.com base = ou=People,dc=domain2,dc=com ldap_version = 3 user_attrs = \ =mail=maildir:/home/vmail/%{ldap:departmentNumber)/%n/Maildir user_filter = (uid=%n) pass_attrs = uid=%n,userPassword=password pass_filter = (uid=%n) default_pass_scheme = MD5 Thanks, Robert

Probably happens when a user is doing I/O on their large INBOX's via NFS, and bogging down. Thanks for explaining this. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>
