[Dovecot] kudos
by Frank Cusack 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

I'm sure this isn't said enough, so kudos to Timo for what has to be the best IMAP server anywhere, hands-down no qualifications! And to think, it's a one man operation ... although perhaps that is one of the reasons it is so good.

[Dovecot] Problem compiling dovecot 1.2.8 on Solaris 10?
by Drew Schatt 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

I've got an issue using Sun's compilers on Solaris 10 - it appears that dovecot is trying to use the getopt function, that's part of GNU's glibc, and, therefore, not present when using Sun's compilers. Any ideas on how to resolve? cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/lib -I../../src/lib-auth -I../../src/lib-mail -I../../src/lib-imap -I../../src/lib-index -I../../src/lib-storage/index/maildir -I../../src/auth -DPKG_RUNDIR=\""/usr/local/var/run/dovecot"\" -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include -D_XPG6 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -KPIC -lm -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -xc99 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -D_XPG6 -xstrconst -KPIC -lm -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c authtest.c "authtest.c", line 164: warning: implicit function declaration: getopt "authtest.c", line 167: undefined symbol: optarg "authtest.c", line 167: warning: improper pointer/integer combination: op "=" "authtest.c", line 170: warning: improper pointer/integer combination: op "=" "authtest.c", line 176: undefined symbol: optind "authtest.c", line 178: undefined symbol: optind cc: acomp failed for authtest.c -Drew Schatt

[Dovecot] Plugin Compatibility
by Tony Rutherford 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

We are looking to develop a plugin against the 1.2.X line (8 as of right now). Seeing that v2.0 is not too far off, is there any reason to think that a plugin developed for 1.2.X would NOT be compatible with the 2.0 line?Thanks,Tony This message is intended solely for the individual(s) to whom it is addressed.

[Dovecot] quota is not ignoring trash
by JC 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

I have debian lenny configured with postfix 2.5.5 and dovecot 1.0.15 with mysql, every user has a different quota. The problem is that the quota is not ignoring trash folder, how can I solve this problem? And another question, is there a possibility to ignore sent folder?. this is my dovecot.conf smtp:# dovecot -n # 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/mail.log log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: pop3 imap disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_processes_count: 5 login_max_processes_count: 256 login_max_connections: 512 max_mail_processes: 512 first_valid_uid: 5000 last_valid_uid: 5000 first_valid_gid: 5000 mail_access_groups: vmail mail_privileged_group: vmail mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota trash mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota trash mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail imap_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-idle pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh namespace: type: private separator: . prefix: INBOX. inbox: yes auth default: mechanisms: plain login user: vmail passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: prefetch userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: vmail master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 432 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: quota: maildir:storage=51200:ignore=Trash trash: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-trash.conf this is my dovecot-sql.conf driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=maildb user=xxx password=yyy default_pass_scheme = CRYPT password_query = SELECT email AS user, password FROM users WHERE email = '%u' user_query = SELECT 'maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n' AS home, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, CONCAT('maildir:storage=', ROUND( quota / 1000 ) ) AS quota FROM users WHERE email = '%u'

[Dovecot] bug when creating /var/run/dovecot?
by Frank Cusack 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

dovecot-1.2.7 If /var/run/dovecot does not exist when dovecot starts up (e.g. required when /var/run is a tmpfs/ramfs), it creates it. But it creates it with the wrong file mode -- the directory is mode 777. Being world writable means any user could change the name of any file within the directory, including the login directory, and then create their own new login directory. Or remove the pid file, or perhaps cause other types of havoc. Comments? -frank

I've spent a week looking at the likes of PVFS, GFS, Lustre and a whole host of different systems, including pNFS (NFS 4.1) At the risk of diverting the thread away from the SATA backend, is there any recommendation for a fault tolerant file service. I'm really looking for 3 or 4 boxes to store data/metadata to support 10 Apache and Dovecot servers. The things I don't like are having a single metadata server be a single point of failure.
