[Dovecot] Feature request: usernames and passwords
by Thanos Chatziathanassiou 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

A relatively recent development that spammers got wind of is users that have username==password, with/without the domain. I am tracking numerous 1-off attempts from bots to gain access to mailboxes this way. Situation isn't made any better if you're also using dovecot as SMTP AUTH provider for I am ashamed to admit I've relayed some spam that way. Would it be possible to deny login if username==password with a (non?)polite/custom message to go change your password to something less obvious ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 progress?
by Guy 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hi, Been having a look at the roadmap on the wiki for Dovecot 2.0 and I was wondering how that's progressing? Are you able to offer a guesstimate on how far it is from stable Timo? Just asking because we're moving to new servers soon and I'm considering using the opportunity to switch from Dovecot/Maildrop/Maildir to Dovecot/deliver/mdbox if 2.0 is likely to be reasonably safe to use in the next month or so. Thanks Guy -- Don't just do something...sit there!

Hi In http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables I found: %s service imap, pop3, smtp, deliver and that can be use in userdb and SQL query string. How exactly can I use %s in the query string if I want for ex to disable a service (just one service - ex pop3) for a specific user. Alex

[Dovecot] Dinamic 'mail_location' for each user
by Thiago Henrique 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Hello, I have a lot of domains in a mail server, so I make a balanced allocation of mailboxes in the storage disks. That improves performance of access to records. Therefore, I want to overwrite 'mail_location' directive for each user. But I also want to use the modifier 'H' to spray the mailboxes of the same partition in a hash. Then, each user has your own 'mail_location' that I would like load from database. Like this: mdbox:/var/spool/imap/partition1/%256HRu/%u:INDEX=/var/lib/imap/user/% 256HRu/%u partition1 is in range [partition1 .. partiton7] In my tests the '%256HRu/%u' kind of 'mail_location' is not being interpreted by Dovecot. Can Dovecot to interpret 'mail_location' load from database ? Thank you. -- []'s Thiago Henrique Network Administration Digirati Networks K8 Networks

[Dovecot] Login process connection routing
by Brandon Davidson 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Timo, Just out of curiosity, how are incoming connections routed to login processes when run with: service imap-login { service_count = 0 } I've been playing with this on our test director, and the process connection counts look somewhat unbalanced. I'm wondering if there are any performance issues with having a single process handle so many connections. It seems fine (system load is actually lower than with service_count = 1), but I thought I'd ask. /usr/sbin/dovecot \_ dovecot/imap-login \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login \_ dovecot/imap-login [5 connections (5 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [4 connections (4 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [1 connections (1 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [315 connections (315 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [63 connections (63 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [12 connections (12 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login \_ dovecot/imap-login [10 connections (10 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [2 connections (2 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [370 connections (370 TLS)] \_ dovecot/imap-login [24 connections (24 TLS)] -Brad

[Dovecot] Doveadm director flush/remove
by Brandon Davidson 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

I've got a couple more issues with the doveadm director interface: 1) If I use "doveadm director remove" to disable a host with active users, the director seems to lose track of users mapped to that host. I guess I would expect it to tear down any active sessions by killing the login proxies, like I'd done 'doveadm direct add HOSTNAME 0 && doveadm director flush HOSTNAME' before removing it? Here's what I see with an active open connection: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director status brandond Current: 10.142.0.179 (expires 2010-07-14 01:26:14) Hashed: 10.142.0.179 Initial config: 10.142.0.161 [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director remove 10.142.0.179 [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director status brandond Current: not assigned Hashed: 10.142.0.174 Initial config: 10.142.0.161 2) "doveadm director flush" returns the wrong usage: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director flush doveadm director remove [-a <director socket path>] <host> 3) "doveadm director flush" all breaks the ring: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director flush all Jul 14 01:26:33 cc-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.180:1234/right disconnected Jul 14 01:26:33 cc-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.180:1234/left disconnected Jul 14 01:26:33 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/left): Invalid HOST-FLUSH args Jul 14 01:26:33 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/right): Invalid HOST-FLUSH args For some reason, flushing a host address only disconnects one side: [root@cc-popmap7 ~]# doveadm director flush 10.142.0.160 Jul 14 01:28:23 cc-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: Director 10.142.0.180:1234/right disconnected Jul 14 01:28:23 oh-popmap7 dovecot: director: Error: director(10.142.0.162:1234/left): Invalid HOST-FLUSH args -Brad

[Dovecot] [dovecot] Dovecot Migration so far
by Mark Moseley 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

We've been doing our own beta testing of Dovecot 2.0-beta4 IMAP (both direct IMAP and webmail-fronted), and we've had nothing but glowing compliments from our beta users/victims. I've also been running a lone box with the latest mercurial build and that's been running just fine too. All mail data is on NFS, but I've put indexes on the local disk, which has worked just dandy so far. Everything's been great and all I've seen amiss are a few random problems -- all of which are are barely impacting us and I mention only for the sake of feedback. All boxes are Debian Lenny i386, running 2.6.33.1. One oddity is that I see lots of messages like this (I've obfuscated paths/IPs/usernames, so assume paths are all actually correct) for a variety of different mailboxes prior to their indexes directory getting initially created: Apr 02 13:25:24 imap(mail@box): Error: creat(/var/tmp/Indexes/14/75/mail(a)box/dovecot.mailbox.log) failed: No such file or directory Judging by the mtimes of the containing directories, the directory was created a couple of seconds after the error gets logged, so I'm guessing mailbox_log_alloc is just getting called too early. It obviously just happens that first time. Doesn't seem to actually be hurting anything, that I can tell. One other kind of weird thing I saw was that originally I had my indexes on a dedicated partition with ext4 (Debian Lenny, i386, 2.6.33.1), I was seeing scattered messages like this: Mar 29 18:02:38 imap(mail@box): Error: FETCH [] for mailbox INBOX UID 3244 got too little data: 1116 vs 1087383 Mar 29 18:02:38 imap(mail@box): Error: Corrupted index cache file /var/tmp/Indexes/12/dc/mail(a)box/.INBOX/dovecot.index.cache: Broken virtual size for mail UID 3244 The message corresponding with UID 3244 was around 1116 bytes (+32 bytes, IIRC), so no clue where the 1087383. In all the cases of that error I saw, the lefthand number of bytes was very closer to correct and the righthand was way way off, and the S= flag in the filename was correct too. I'm guessing that the random righthand number was just due to corrupted cache. When I reformatted that partition as ext3, the error went almost completely away (just a few total over the past few days, as opposed to a few per hour when it was on ext4). I don't even have an educated guess as to why that'd happen. A wild guess would be that ext4's delayed allocation was causing problems. Even under ext4, it was still pretty rare and only, say, 1 out of 100 imap logins. And ext3 performance on the indexes partition so far has been just fine, so I don't plan on switching back to ext4 -- though if anyone has any experience with putting indexes on reiserfs and/or xfs versus ext3, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I've also seen a couple of these in the past few days (on beta4, not repo version -- haven't been running repo version long enough to say if it'd do the same): Mar 31 21:52:54 imap(mail@box): Error: fdatasync(/mail/username/mail@box/Maildir/dovecot-uidlist) failed: Input/output error Mar 31 21:52:54 imap(mail@box): Error: Raw backtrace: /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77c0b71] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77c0bef] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0xb77c0ea8] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_begin_to+0x9a9) [0xb7837ca9] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_index_sync_begin+0x56) [0xb7837d56] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_sync_index_begin+0x51) [0xb78734d1] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb78716eb] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_force+0x4d) [0xb78719bd] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_uidlist_lookup+0x96) [0xb7877646] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb787215a] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_sync_index+0x7f0) [0xb78729d0] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0 [0xb78715b6] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_storage_sync_init+0x162) [0xb7871b92] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_sync_init+0x39) [0xb7815759] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](imap_sync_init+0x54) [0x805efa4] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](cmd_sync_delayed+0x223) [0x805f2a3] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](client_output+0xb6) [0x8056de6] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0 [0xb77d5d4a] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_handler_run+0xf5) [0xb77cd1d5] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_loop_run+0x30) [0xb77cc220] -> /opt/dovecot-2.0.beta4/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(master_service_run+0x2a) [0xb77b9e1a] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID](main+0x1c5) [0x805f8e5] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe5) [0xb764d455] -> dovecot/imap [mail@box 215.108.28.102 UID] [0x804e621] Mar 31 21:52:54 master: Error: service(imap): child 4500 killed with signal 6 (core dumps disabled) In 4 days of beta testing with a fair number of users, I've seen maybe 4 of these backtraces total, so not exactly a big issue. These are all super minor things. Everything's been fantastic so far.

[Dovecot] About Logging
by Henrique Fernandes 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

It is possible to make dovecot do not log any request from a determined host? Because, we gonna use ldirectord for foward request and etc and the ldirectord makes an connecting every 2 seconds to find out if the server is ok, and also make a login in imap and pop3 to check this service as well. Is there any how to make dovecot do not log entries for a determined host ? The logs get too many info that we don need! Any ideias ? Thanks! * *i have sent a msg like this, but i got no answer i thought i might have not deliver into the mailist! I am sorry if it already have it!* *[]'sf.rique

[Dovecot] Unknown column username in where clause
by Daniel Luttermann 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Version: Dovecot 2.0 rc2 I'm testing Dovecot with MySQL quotas but I get always this error for incoming mails: tux dovecot: lmtp(4928): Error: user testuser(a)dlutt.de: Auth USER lookup failed tux dovecot: auth: Error: mysql: Query failed, retrying: Unknown column 'username' in 'where clause' I dont' know where the field "username" should come from because I don't use this field (or query). The relevant files are: dovecot-sql.conf.ext ==================== password_query = SELECT userid AS user, password, \ home AS userdb_home, uid AS userdb_uid, gid AS userdb_gid, \ concat('*:bytes=', quota_bytes) as userdb_quota_rule \ FROM users WHERE userid = '%u' auth-sql.conf.ext ================= passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } 90-quota.conf ============= plugin { quota = dict:user::proxy::quota quota_rule = *:storage=0 } dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext ========================= map { pattern = priv/quota/storage table = quota username_field = userid value_field = bytes } map { pattern = priv/quota/messages table = quota username_field = userid value_field = messages } I've grepped through all config files but I can't find any (active) query which uses the above "where username=...". The quota db gets correctly updated if an user logs in so the problem only exists during mail delivery. My SQL tables were crated as follows: CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` ( `userid` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `password` varchar(64) NOT NULL, `home` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `uid` int(11) NOT NULL, `gid` int(11) NOT NULL, `quota_bytes` varchar(10) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`userid`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `quota` ( `userid` varchar(100) NOT NULL, `bytes` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0', `messages` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (`userid`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; -- Daniel

[Dovecot] namespace trouble
by Kevin Faulkner 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

I am having some trouble with dovecot 1.2.12 and some namespace issues, or at least that's what I think is the issue. I setup a virtual mailhosting using mysql and postfix. I can receive email and send email without a problem, but when I use mutt to sign in to dovecot, I can't list any Folders, it see's INBOX but it doesn't see any mail. I generally try to not post my problems online, but I searched around on the Internet and I couldn't find anything similar to this issue. I also used kmail to connect to the and it is able to see the mail, but when I can't create any folders. mutt connecting option: mutt set spoolfile=imaps://server.here/INBOX." Here is the mutt debug (mutt -d 3) 4< a0001 OK Capability completed. 4< * LIST (\Noselect) "."

[Dovecot] Unable to get Dovecot LDA/deliver working
by Frank van Amsterdam 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

I want to setup Dovecot LDA, but I don't understand what I'm doing anymore. I have to note that I'm a Linux beginner. I've been trying now for several months and I'm about to give up. Till so far I'm having no result. :-( My current setup is done as described at http://www.linuxmail.info. We use Postfix 2.3.3 (with Postgrey, Spamassassin and ClamAV), Dovecot 1.2.11 and OpenLDAP 2.4.1 on CentOS 5.5. All incoming e-mail are delivered by Postfix in the users' maildir. We use this as a base for SOGo, our groupware solution and it runs smoothly. I have to setup a new mailserver, because we're standardising on Debian. My employer wants to have new functions like out-of-office-replies and forwarding. I want to make use of sieve. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who can help me. My problem is that I don't understand how the delivery process is working. I've read much documentation from Postfix and Dovecot, but I find it too difficult to understand. What do I understand? I know that I have to make changes in /etc/dovecot, /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/master.cf as described at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA. /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-028stab064.7 i686 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) reiserfs base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve ssl: no version_ignore: yes login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/%u/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/libexec/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh imap_client_workarounds(pop3): imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(managesieve): managesieve_logout_format(default): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(imap): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(pop3): bytes=%i/%o managesieve_logout_format(managesieve): bytes ( in=%i : out=%o ) lda: postmaster_address: postmaster(a)domain.nl mail_plugins: cmusieve mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/lda deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ -- FROM=%f SUBJECT=%s log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log syslog_facility: mail sendmail_path: /usr/lib/sendmail rejection_subject: Rejected: %s rejection_reason: Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r auth_socket_path: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot-auth-master auth default: mechanisms: plain login username_format: %Lu passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/vmail/%u socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail group: vmail plugin: sieve: /var/sieve-scripts/%u.sieve sieve_dir: %h/sieve sieve_global_dir: /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/ /etc/postfix/main.cf virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/domains ## Plain text file with the domains virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf virtual_alias_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf virtual_uid_maps = static:500 virtual_gid_maps = static:500 dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 #virtual_transport = dovecot ## Commented out to deliver by Postfix /etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf server_host = localhost search_base = dc=domain,dc=com version = 3 query_filter = (&(objectclass=mailUser)(mail=%s)) result_attribute = uid result_format = %s/Maildir/ /etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf server_host = localhost search_base = dc=domain,dc=com version = 3 query_filter = (&(objectclass=mailGroup)(mail=%s)) leaf_result_attribute = mail special_result_attribute = member /etc/postfix/master.cf dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d <username> I hope someone can help me, because many people on the internet say that it is easy.

[Dovecot] How to install sieve
by Carsten Laun-De Lellis 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi all I do have a problem. I have an installation on opensuse 11.2 with postfix, amavis, spamassassin and dovecot 1.2.9 with a mysql authtentication backend. Everything works fine. I want now to install sieve, but i failed all the time. I downloaded dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.17 and followed the installation how-to. First when i tried to ./configure the installation i was always asked for dovecot-config. I managed this problem with a symlink. But when i try to run make i always got the following error message. I would appreciate any help. Kind regards, Carsten Laun-De Lellis ../../sieve-result.h:143: error: expected declaration specifiers or â...â before âboolâ In file included from cmd-vacation.c:27: ../../sieve-message.h:18: warning:

[Dovecot] Deleting Index Files and Expire Tool
by Tom Goerger 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi, In order to periodically deal with corrupted index files in Dovecot, we routinely will remove a users .imap folder in order to have the indexes rebuild. This hasn't ever caused a problem previously. However, removing the user's index files seems to break the ability of the expire plugin to update the expire stamp correctly, or expunge mail from the user folder. This seems logical, with the reliance of expire on the index.cache files. In testing, actually emptying the trash (since we're only concerned about Trash folders) resets the mailbox to a degree that the expire tool functions properly again. My question is, is there a better way to handle corrupted cache files? Is there a more graceful way to rebuild these using Dovecot tools? Or is there a more specific index file that can be removed, rather than removing the entire hierarchy? We're using Dovecot 1.1.6, on Solaris 10. -- Tom Goerger University of Minnesota - Internet Services

[Dovecot] Proxy IMAP/POP/ManageSieve/SMTP in a large cluster enviroment
by Aliet Santiesteban Sifontes 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hi to all in the list, we are trying to do some tests lab for a large scale mail system having this requirements: - Scale to maybe 1million users(Only for testing). - Server side filters. - User quotas. - High concurrency. - High performance and High Availability. We plan to test this using RHEL5 and maybe RHEL6. As a storage we are going to use an HP EVA 8400 FC(8 GB/s) We defined this functional roles. 1- Outgoing SMTP gateway servers. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Postfix Latest version Amavisd-new Clamav Spamassasin maybe some other filters. 2- Incomming SMTP gateway servers. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - RHEL5/6 using Postfix Latest version Amavisd-new Clamav Spamassasin( n servers) maybe some other filters. 3- Webmail Cluster farm. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using RHCS Active/Active. Apache2 PHP5 Horde. 4- Openldap load balanced openldap cluster. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Openldap. 5- IMAP/POP/ManageSieve/SMTP Proxy or Director. - Load balanced with Piranha LVS using Direct Routing. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Dovecot - Postfix(Director or Proxy). 6- Mail backend. - ( n servers)RHEL5/6 using Dovecot. Now for functional role 6 "Mail Backend" we have some dilemmas. - Recommended scalable filesystem to use for such scenario(Clustered or not). -GFS2?? We have very bad experiences with GFS1 and maildir, GFS2 doesn't seems to improve this also. Using some techniques for session afinity with a backend server seems to help with the locking problems of GFS and the cache. Using GFS many IMAP SMTP servers can in parallel write or read to user mailboxes, if GFS can perform well we prefer this, will have to proxy o use director for the cache problem. - Ext4, Ext3 well tested with many setups but only one backend server can access one ext4 lun, so we have to proxy a user always to a ip backend address or VIP in a case of failure cluster software has to move the server to another node, the cluster service is formed by a IP Address and one or many Luns wich moves from node to node in a case of failure. - Recommended scalable method for partition divition. - Directory Hashing(How it actually works the theory behind this), we see the wiki but we need to understand the theory to balance the directory structure. - Using some criteria ex Lun1(a-h users), Lun2(i-m users).... - Proxy or Director is a must for a Clustered Filsystem or for the solution of a user belonging to one server. - In case we use a Proxy with dovecot we know we can use it with IMAP/POP but are not sure for ManageSieve and more important for SMTP. The question is, how can we proxy for the same user IMAP/POP/ManageSieve and SMTP delivery to mailbox at the same time, can the incoming mail gateways send the email to the proxy servers and dovecot proxy the request for smtp or lmtp appply the same proxy criteria that uses for the protocols IMAP and POP and send the email to the correct backend server and this server do the final delivery?? I mean proxy all the protocols for a user IMAP/POP/SMTP-LMTP?? Any example... Right now we have doubts on this stuff, we are really going to appreciate any help or advice on this... best regards

[Dovecot] Haha wow, thats freakin cool... mdbox
by Brandon Lamb 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

It didnt really click until I had a "ls -ald *" on watch while I moved messages around folders using mdbox... I moved about 200 first to an Archive folder, and scratched my head wondering why i didnt see any new m.* files being created after the move. So then I moved some 5k other messages from other folders to my archive folder... Then it dawned on me, how damn cool, the data never changes, dovecot just updates its index of what folder the message is in?! That is awesome! Also, I ended up answering my own question on the 2m mdbox_rotate_size, if a 10 meg email comes through it will write a 10 meg file, so thats cool too.
