[Dovecot] need convert-tool advice
by Dave McGuire 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

Hi folks, I've got a few thousand accounts that I'd like to convert from mbox to maildir. I'm looking at using convert-tool from the command line to do this, but I'm uncertain about the command line syntax, so I hope someone can take a moment to go over this with me. I'm running dovecot 1.1.6 on this system. Mail accounts are not tied to UNIX system accounts, I'm using the dovecot LDA, users do not have home directories, everything is controlled from a database, and mail directories take the form of: /var/spool/mail/<domainname>/<username>/... The mail directories contain mbox-style spool files, including "inbox" and any user-created mbox-format folders. The entire hierarchy is owned by vmail.vmail. I'd like to batch-convert these offline in such a way that it's transparent to users. Here's what I have so far: ------------------------------------------------------------ mv ${user} ${user}-mbox convert_tool ${user} \ /var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user} \ mbox:/var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user}-mbox:\ INBOX=/var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user}-mbox/inbox \ maildir:/var/spool/mail/${domain}/${user} ------------------------------------------------------------ (sorry about that incomprehensibly long command line, I tried to break it intelligently) ...then I'll change the "mail" field returned by the database query to include maildir instead of mbox. I'll wrap the whole thing in a script and do it in one run. Is this correct usage of convert_tool's command line options? The thing that confuses me is the "home directory" command line option, not sure what that's for, as my mail users don't have home directories...at least not in the UNIX sense, does it mean something else? Will the users notice anything different here, with respect to UIDs, indices, or anything like that? If this is completely the wrong way to do it, I'm not opposed to using a different tool like mb2md.pl, but I looked at that and couldn't quite figure out how to make it work within my current directory structure. Thanks, -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL

[Dovecot] performance problems with {s,m}dbox
by Jake Johnson 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

using rc3 and with the latest pigeonhole, I had problems with dovecot (deliver) keeping up with high volumes of E-mail. I tried sdbox, mdbox, and cyrdir all with similar (failed) result. using the default Maildir I had no problems. I did not try mbox. The problems seemed to happen when there were multiple deliver's running to the same folder I had defined in my sieve rules, either it would timeout and fail, or timeout and get delivered to my inbox, crash, or eventually halt because the queue would reach 20,000 messages which is the maximum with my postfix configuration. Everything was fine when I was using Maildir, no errors and no sieve errors/timeouts. perhaps it is more of an issue with pigeonhole than sieve, but thought I would post my experience using dbox, since it sounded like it was a winner based on performance.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 - expire with flat file?
by Bernd Schmelter 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

I`m using Dovecot 2.0 with only one lokal user, so it`s imho overkill to use mysql. plugin quota with flat file running fine. It's possible expire also running with flat file? What's syntax in dovecot.conf (expire = file:??? and expire_dict?) Benn

[Dovecot] Dovecot and SSD
by Bryan Vyhmeister 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

I'm considering setting up my own mailserver with Dovecot 2.0 (as soon as it's out) and SSD. I'm debating whether it's worth it or not. I have been running a mailserver with the Dovecot 1.1 train for a couple of years and it's been flawless and amazing. I'm thinking about using either FreeBSD 8.1 w/ZFS or OpenBSD 4.8-beta on a 64 GB or 80 GB SSD (Corsair or Intel) using Dovecot 2.0 and mdbox. It seems like mdbox would benefit the most from an SSD because reads would be extremely fast while minimal writes (comparatively) take place due to the way mdbox is structured. I guess what I'm saying is that even if the SSD has average to slow write speeds the fast read speeds would make a big difference in many operations. Any thoughts? Alternately, run either option on a hard drive with indexes on fast flash memory. Anyone tried something like that? Thank you. Bryan

[Dovecot] relay access denied problem thru iphone imap auth
by Allen Walker 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

I'm using postfix smtpd / dovecot. Running imaps, imap, pop3s, pop3. I have a ssl certificate setup. Everything works fine via IMAP except sending to an email from outside the network to a recipient outside the network. The problem is when someone (and this is being tested thru the iphone email client configured to use imap) logs in, they can read messages but cannot send to an address outside my network, assuming they are logged in outside the network. If you they are logged in inside the network, they can send to anyone just fine.

[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA
by Daminto Lie 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some help with Dovecot. I have just recently set up a mail server that runs on Ubuntu Server 10.04. It has got the current version of postfix and Dovecot. I have also got the squirrelmail set up as my webmail. Everything is fine. However, I have been reading some emails posted by Dovecot users regarding Dovecot LDA. I wonder if anyone might be able to let me know the benefits it might offer so that i could make a decision as to whether I need it or not. Thank you very much in advance
