[Dovecot] Multiple postfix + single dovecot - optimal configuration
by Tomek 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hello, I want to setup dovecot with two postfix servers on three machines: - dovecot - with huge amount of disk space - where all user emails will be kept, - postfix1 - with greylisting, amavisd-new (spamassassin, clamav, etc), with mysql backend, - postfix2 - same as postfix1. MX priority will be set to the same value for both postfix machines. For now I don't know how to "glue" these severs: - if I should install dovecot on both postfix and use third servers as a NFS share? - or maybe it is … [View More]

[Dovecot] protocol configure confusion
by Stewart Dean 26 Oct '09

The docs say: > > *protocol*s = imap *imaps* > *Protocol*s we want to be serving: imap *imaps* pop3 pop3s If you > only want to use dovecot-auth, you can set this to "none". > and..... > > If you want to specify ports for each service, you will need to > configure these settings inside the *protocol* imap/pop3 { ... } > section, so you can specify different ports for IMAP/POP3. For example: > > # *protocol* imap { > # listen = *:10143 > # … [View More]

[Dovecot] Rotating the dovecot log file
by Jerry 24 Oct '09

24 Oct '09

Using FreeBSD-7.2, I am attempting to configure the system newsyslog utility to rotate the dovecot.log file. I would prefer to use the system utility rather than the one described on the dovecot wiki for rotating the file. Unfortunately, it is not working. This is the error message that is spawned: newsyslog: illegal signal number in config file: /var/log/dovecot.log root:wheel 0666 1 * $M1D0 CJ /var/run/dovecot/master.pid USR1 Does anyone have an idea how to get this to work? … [View More]

[Dovecot] HA Dovecot Config?
by dovecot＠corwyn.net 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Hi! I'm currently running Dovecot 1.1.8 on a HP server using CentOS 5.2 as my IMAP server, receiving mail from postfix, and also using squirrelmail as the frontend. As I look at upgrading the mail server, I'd like to change to a higher availability configuration (where the server can fail and I don't have to reconfig my imap users). For the SMTP that's easy, because I can use multiple MX records, and I can redirect a port forward from one server to another. But IMAP doesn't have the … [View More]

[Dovecot] doveadm who
by Timo Sirainen 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Pascal Volk suggested this, and it was pretty quick to implement for Dovecot v2.0. Ideas welcome how to improve it, or if it's already perfect :) The first line is written to stderr, so |sort can be used: # doveadm who|sort username # (ips) (pids) timo 1 (127.0.0.1) (2457) tss 2 (127.0.0.1) (617 1345) tss2 2 (127.0.0.2 127.0.0.1) (2392 2799) # doveadm who|sort -k2 -nr username … [View More]

[Dovecot] Need a little shadow to MySQL conversion help
by Marc Perkel 22 Oct '09

22 Oct '09

Excuse me for being stupid and confused. I'm trying to convert my dovecot install from passwd-file to mysql. I have a single table called "users" that has 3 fields, user_name, domain_name and password. The data came from passwd/shadow files so it uses the same password encryption as the shadow files do. The directory where the email is stored is calculated elsewhere and not stored in the database. The UID and GID are both mail for all virtual users. The user logs in passing the full … [View More]
