Re: Controlling shared folder rename?
by andy＠thecsillags.com 19 May '15

19 May '15

Eventually I figured out a solution that looks like it should work; postlogin scripting described here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting . Specifically, the sample at the bottom that adds a shared folder, obviously will need some work to make it work the way I want, but it should work. May 19 2015 3:18 PM, andy(a)thecsillags.com (mailto:andy@thecsillags.com) wrote: Dovecot version 2.2.16 I'm using shared folders and what I'd like to do is either have the folder that gets shared be able to be renamed by the user, or failing that, to be able to have an administrator define how the shared folder shows up to the account it's shared to. For example, right now, the INBOX owned by testuser(a)mydomain.com (mailto:testuser@mydomain.com) is shared to otheruser@mydomain as shows up as shared/testuser(a)mydomain.com (mailto:testuser@mydomain.com) because of the prefix directive in the shared namespace in 10-mail.conf. It would be nice if, either via a dict (like the way the acls work), or via normal IMAP folder commands, that I control how it shows up to otheruser@mydomain. So if I could do something like: prefix = proxy::sharedname or similar. Currently trying to rename from IMAP fails -- given the way my understanding of how things works is, I'm not surprised, but hey, it was worth a shot right? First, does the question make sense? Two, is there a way to do this? Thanks, :Drew

And I don't understand why dovecot doesn't use it. So I revert back my dirty user_query and I'm still searching why I can't send email to alias .... Thanks. Samuel.

Understanding the "doveadm replicator status" output
by Listas＠Adminlinux 19 May '15

19 May '15

Where can I get more detailed information about the output of the 'doveadm replicator status' ? man doveadm-replicator isn't enough. For example, Total number of known users = 29409, but the server has only 17667 users. This is confusing. Look: # doveadm user '*' |wc -l 17667 # doveadm replicator status Queued 'sync' requests 0 Queued 'high' requests 0 Queued 'low' requests 0 Queued 'failed' requests 0 Queued 'full resync' requests 12962 Waiting 'failed' requests 16447 Total number of known users 29409 What it means to "Queued full resync requests" ? thanks!

Can't achieve alias working with SQL
by Samuel 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hello, On a fresh install of Jessie, I achieve to make dovecot/postfix working with SQL, but I still can't send email to alias for wich one I get : "Unknown user" After debug enable in dovecot, I see that the user_query SQL , just query for the "users" table and not the "forward" table so the final alias user is not known. But when I check postfix for alias, it seems ok : root@cluster-dovecot:/etc/dovecot# postmap -q contact2(a)XXXXXXXX.com mysql:alias_maps contact(a)XXXXXXXXXX.com So what do I missed for alias working with dovecot ? Do I need a special conf in master.conf for sending alias AND final recipient or do I have to change the dovecot user_query for taking in acount the "forward" table in the SQL query ? .... or other thing I could miss ... Thanks a lot ... Samuel.

Imap process timeout to quota proxy on logout after async commit
by Fernando Coelho 19 May '15

19 May '15

Hi there, I am having some trouble implementing a quota proxy server for a memcached based dict (I am using the version 2.2.15). I created a multi-threaded daemon that is using non-blocking sockets to receive the data and reply to dovecot. Right now everything but the atomic increase message is working great. Here is an example of such a message: B1 A1 priv/quota/storage 86583 A1 priv/quota/messages 1 D1 The program process it and I replies:OA1 Everything keeps working as expects until the user sends the imap a logout command. The only problem is that for some reason dovecot tries to read data from server without sending anything, and after 30 seconds it exits with an timeout error. The following message is logged: May 18 22:46:00 imap[11654]: user 29908633#perm!terra (29908633#perm!terra) from 127.0.0.1: Error: read(/tmp/quotatest) failed: Timeout after 30 seconds May 18 22:46:00 imap[11654]: user 29908633#perm!terra (29908633#perm!terra) from 127.0.0.1: Info: Disconnected: Logged out in=40 out=827 May 18 22:46:00 imap[11654]: user 29908633#perm!terra (29908633#perm!terra) from 127.0.0.1: Error: dict quota: Quota update failed, it's now desynced The really strange part is that it only fails if and atomic increase was sent and only when the user logs out. I use the same pattern ("OA<transaction id>\n") to reply for other commits (such as when there is an unset followed by a set) and there is no issue. Is there anything that I am missing? Thanks in advance.

Dovecot Replication - Architecture Endianness?
by Reuben Farrelly 16 May '15

16 May '15

Hi all, I've had an interesting use case come up which - to cut the story short - one way to solve the problem I am looking at may be to replicate a small number of mailboxes to a third remote server. I've currently had replication running between my main dovecot machine and another remote VM for some time and working well (so I'm not new to replication and I've got a good working config), but I've a need to add a third to the mix for a select number of mailboxes. The arch on both of those is Gentoo x86_64 and with latest 2.1.16 -hg. I have attempted this so far by rsync'ing the initial Maildirs and then once the bulk of the data has been transferred rely on dovecot's replication to keep things in sync. I figure that this should in theory mean that the subsequent updates in both directions are incremental and the bulk of the data gets moved while the device is here on my desk using rsync. I've attempted to do this using a Raspberry Pi as a remote device, but when I set it up the dovecot replication process seems to need to start the replication over from scratch even after the rsync is done. I know this is happening as the disk utilisation on the Pi skyrockets once the replication starts and I end up with thousands of double ups of all the mails ... which defeats the entire point of the process. If I do an identical configuration but on a third Gentoo x86_64 VM locally it all works as expected. No double ups of mails and the "catchup" between the two devices is practically instant. Same filesystem even. The only difference appears to be the system architecture. So main my question is this. Is there a known architecture/endian limitation on replication? I guess cross-arch replication is not something many people try but is it supposed to work anyway? Has anyone else got replication working across different arch's? Also is there a way to restrict replication users aside from a crude hack around system first and last UIDs? Thanks, Reuben

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.8 for Dovecot v2.2.18
by Stephan Bosch 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hello Dovecot users, Here is the final 0.4.8 release. No significant changes were committed since the last release candidate. Changelog v0.4.8: * LDA Sieve plugin: Dovecot changed the deliver_log_format setting to include %{delivery_time}. This prompted changes in Pigeonhole that make this release dependent on Dovecot v2.2.17. + Implemented magic to make sieve_default script visible from ManageSieve under a configurable name. This way, users can see the default rules, edit them and store a private adjusted version. This could also be achieved by copying the default script into the user's script storage, but updates to the global sieve_default script would be ignored that way. + ManageSieve: Implemented support for reporting command statistics at disconnect. Statistics include the number of bytes and scripts uploaded/downloaded/checked and the number of scripts deleted/renamed. - Fixed problem in address test: erroneously decoded mime-encoded words in address headers. - extprograms plugin: Fixed failure occurring when connecting to script service without the need to read back the output from the external program. - Fixed bug in script storage path normalization occurring with relative symbolic links below root. - Fixed and updated various parts of the documentation - ManageSieve: Used "managesieve" rather than "sieve" as login service name, which means that all managesieve-specific settings where ignored. - Managesieve: Storage quota was not always enforced properly for scripts uploaded as quoted string. Nobody uses that, but it is allowed in the specification and we support it, so it should work properly. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.tar… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.tar… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information.

Many Duplicated messages after migrate from 2.0.19 to 2.2.15
by Listas＠Adminlinux 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi, In my company, we have several failover clusters (~50k accounts per cluster) with Ubuntu12.04 and Dovecot-2.0.19 (without dsync, replication at block level with DRBD). We are migrating to active/active clusters with Ubuntu14.04 and Dovecot-2.2.15 with replication via dovecot-dsync. Each new cluster consists of two machines and each machine runs two instances of Dovecot (one for backend and the other for proxy Dovecot-director). We did the migration of message files, indexes and sieve scripts using rsync to one of the backends. After we turn on the second backend and let the dsync work in replication for him. Now, many accounts are with duplicated messages and some new emails delivered are also being duplicated. Doveadm deduplicate doesn't work for me. I ran: doveadm deduplicate -u <user> -m ALL Does do the migration of files with rsync was a mistake ? We are using mdbox on both clusters. My confs with doveconf -n for both clusters: http://www.adminlinux.com.br/newcluster_doveconf.txt http://www.adminlinux.com.br/oldcluster_doveconf.txt Thanks and regards, Thiago Henrique

v2.2.18 released
by Timo Sirainen 15 May '15

15 May '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.18.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2.18.tar.gz.sig Oops, director was somewhat broken in 2.2.17. I thought I tested the last changes in it well enough, but looks like not. To avoid all existing Dovecot director installations from breaking I decided to make 2.2.18 release quickly afterwards.. BTW. We're planning on making some changes soon to how version control is used in Dovecot development, which should help avoid these kind of problems. The main problem now is that everything gets directly committed to the master branch (although we have a separate more stable dovecot-ee repo also). The new plan is to do something like this: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ Besides some minor compiling issues and other small changes, the important ones are: - director: Login UNIX sockets were normally detected as doveadm or director ring sockets, causing it to break in existing installations. - sdbox: When copying a mail in alt storage, place the destination to alt storage as well.

Best practice for getting sieve scripts replicated?
by Michael Grimm 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi — I do have replication between two servers running, and mail is replicated without any issues. I do have sieve running at both servers without any issues. But replication of sieve scripts doesn't work as "expected": Whenever I do modify my default script und upload it via "doveadm sieve put -u abc -a default < default" it becomes uploaded to the home directory of user abc as expected, but it will not be replicated to the partner server. Whenever I do deactivate the default script by "doveadm sieve deactivate -u abc", followed by a deletion "doveadm sieve delete -u abc default" plus subsequent upload of the script "doveadm sieve put -u abc -a default < default", replication takes place instantly. Questions: Is a modification of a sieve script supposed to be triggered the latter way? Or am I doing it the wrong way? Thanks and regards, Michael

Alternate Storage altmove not working bug
by Daniel van Ham Colchete 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hello everyone! I would like to report a bug here. We are using dovecot's sdbox with alternate storage here. From time to time my SSD partition gets full and I always find users with lots of e-mails stuck there, and altmove just won't move them. It moves most of the e-mails correctly, but a few was getting stuck everyday. So, I think I have found the problem! When a user moves the message from one mailbox to another, the move will keep all the flags! Including MAIL_INDEX_MAIL_FLAG_BACKEND 0x40. So, altmove think this message was already moved and doesn't do anything. I did a doveadm dump on the destination mailbox's index and what I see is a lot of this: RECORD: seq=104, uid=104, flags=0x48 (Seen) - ext 0 keywords : (0000) - ext 1 modseq : 12 (0c00000000000000) - ext 3 cache : 14004 (b4360000) - cache offset=14004 size=76, prev_offset = 0 - mime.parts: (48000000b404000000000000cc04000000000000e542000000000000fd4300000000000018010000) (pos=0 hdr.p=1204 hdr.v=1228 body.p=17125 body.v=17405 flags=48) - size.physical: 18329 (9947000000000000) - date.received: 1418235366 (e68d8854) Although the 0x40 flag is set, the file still lives on the main/ssd storage area. My config: http://pastebin.com/8Wk4bfRK Dovecot version: 2.2.5-0~auto+22 Host is Xeon E3 64bit, running Debian 7. Filesystem is plain local ext4 on both storage areas I know my version is outdated but I didn't find anything related to this there. Just one last question: how can I remove that flag from the message? I have taken a look at doveadm-flags(1) but it doesn't seem to allow anything on that flag. Thank you very much! Best, Daniel Colchete

Return code 139 when enabling auth debugging
by Stefan Midjich 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi I'm running dovecot 2.2.10 installed from base repos on CentOS 7. I'm trying to use sqlite as an auth backend but it's not working so I enabled some auth debugging settings in conf.d/10-logging.conf and then dovecot refused to start. sudo dovecot -F produced 139. Here is doveconf -n: http://dpaste.com/2BNB2F7 Unfortunately when I have these settings enabled doveconf does not work and only produces the first comment line. So here is the output of sudo grep -v '^#' /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf | grep -v '^$': http://dpaste.com/0G0VVK8 And when these settings are uncommented dovecot -F produces return code 139 and no output. So I'm having a hard time troubleshooting my authentication when I can't even troubleshoot my debug options not working. ;) -- Hälsningar / Greetings http://Stefan.Midjich.name

Trying to get mail working
by Steve Matzura 15 May '15

I have charge of a very mixed system--current OS (Fedora 20--OK 21's out but I just haven't upgraded yet), current (or nearly so) Mailman (2.1.18-1), Postfix 2.10 with a configuration file sfrom something a lot older which I've run through the upgrade-configuration procedure, and old Dovecot (1.0.15). Is there anything I can do to test each of these components individually, then add a second component and test the three pairs, then all three together? I am nobody's definitioin of an expert in any of these three components, so am having a lot of trouble making them work together, so I thought maybe there might be some test procedure that might straighten me out.

Got a /usr/local/include/dovecot/mail-deliver.h:30:17: error: field has incomplete type 'struct timeval' struct timeval delivery_time_started; ^ error.

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.8.rc3 for Dovecot v2.2.17
by Stephan Bosch 14 May '15

14 May '15

Hello Dovecot users, RC2 had one more important bug caused by the new sieve_default_name feature. To prevent causing more of such rather stupid bugs in the future, I created an external shell-based test suite to test dovecot-lda delivery, the doveadm sieve tools and ManageSieve. These kind of tests aren't possible with the current Sieve-based test suite that is included in the Pigeonhole tarball. Now I can test most basic top-level Pigeonhole functionality in one go. Additionally, I created one new feature for ManageSieve. It allows logging various statistics at client disconnect, much like POP3 currently supports. This is e.g. useful for debugging. In the process, I fixed a few ManageSieve bugs as well. If RC3 doesn't cause any more issues, I will release 0.4.8 this Friday. Changelog v0.4.8 (updated): * LDA Sieve plugin: Dovecot changed the deliver_log_format setting to include %{delivery_time}. This prompted changes in Pigeonhole that make this release dependent on Dovecot v2.2.17. + Implemented magic to make sieve_default script visible from ManageSieve under a configurable name.

dovecot-lda panics when postmaster_address is given on command line
by Onno Molenkamp 13 May '15

13 May '15

Hi, When passing a postmaster_address to dovecot-lda on the command line with -o, it panics: $ ./dovecot-lda -o postmaster_address=anything lda(onno,)Panic: file lda-settings.c: line 80 (lda_settings_check): assertion failed: (set->postmaster_address[0] == SETTING_STRVAR_UNEXPANDED[0]) It looks like postmaster_address has already been expanded at that point when it's given on the command line. (set->postmaster_address[0] is "1") I'm running v2.2.15, but with v2.2.17.rc1 the same thing happens. Regards, Onno

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.8.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.17.rc1
by Stephan Bosch 12 May '15

12 May '15

Hello Dovecot users, Here's the Pigeonhole RC that goes with the Dovecot RC. It includes a few small fixes and one new feature. Changelog v0.4.8.rc1: * LDA Sieve plugin: Dovecot changed the deliver_log_format setting to include %{delivery_time}. This prompted changes in Pigeonhole that make this release dependent on Dovecot v2.2.17. + Implemented magic to make sieve_default script visible from ManageSieve under a configurable name. This way, users can see the default rules, edit them and store a private adjusted version. This could also be achieved by copying the default script into the user's script storage, but that way updates to the global sieve_default script would be ignored. - Fixed problem in address test: erroneously decoded mime-encoded words in address headers. - extprograms plugin: Fixed failure occurring when connecting to script service without the need to read back the output from the external program. - Fixed bug in script storage path normalization occurring with relative symbolic links below root. - Fixed and updated various parts of the documentation. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.rc1… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.8.rc1… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this new release and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

Some mail readers have auto-discover features that are rather stupid. If possible, manually configure the SSL style (TLS/STARTTLS) and port rather than letting it guess. To diagnose whether it is some dovecot config error, you can manually connect with both flavours of SSL openssl s_client -connect 192.168.0.15:993 ... or ... openssl s_client -starttls imap -connect 192.168.0.15:143 then if it gets past the SSL handshake, a login <user> <password> to test the authentication part. This will at least tell you whether it's a client side or server side issue. (However, since it is working with other client, it's probably a client side issue.) Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

v2.2.17 release candidate released
by Timo Sirainen 11 May '15

11 May '15

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.17.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.17.rc1.tar.gz.sig Quite a lot of changes, so here's a release candidate first. If no problems are reported I'll make v2.2.17 release early next week. Please test especially non-Linux systems as there are some larger configure/Makefile changes done since v2.2.16. * Dovecot no longer checks or warns if a mountpoint is removed. This was causing more trouble than it was worth. Make sure that all the mountpoints that Dovecot accesses aren't writable by mail processes when they're unmounted. * dict server wasn't properly escaping/unescaping data. Fixing this broke backwards compatibility with data that contains line feeds. This hopefully affects only very few installations. If you're using dict to save multiline data (Sieve scripts to SQL), you may be affected. * imap: SPECIAL-USE capability is no longer advertised if there are no special_use flags specified for any mailboxes. + lmtp: Added lmtp_hdr_delivery_address setting to specify whether to include email address in Delivered-To: and Received: headers. + Added initial version of full text search library, which includes language-specific text normalization and filtering.

Bug#776094: dovecot-imapd: corrupts mailbox after trying to retrieve it (fwd)
by Santiago Vila 11 May '15

11 May '15

Hello. I wrote about this three weeks ago but got no answer. I'm going to officially "forward" the Debian bug this time, with all the details. The test case is just 840 bytes long. Please give it a try. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Santiago Vila <sanvila(a)unex.es> To: submit(a)bugs.debian.org Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 22:32:28 +0100 (CET) Subject: dovecot-imapd: corrupts mailbox after trying to retrieve it Package: dovecot-imapd Version: 1:2.2.13-11 Severity: serious The following mbox folder, when put in $HOME/mail, becomes corrupted after trying to retrieve it with fetchmail. The problem may be reproduced by using the same machine as server and client: * Put "inbox-b" in $HOME/mail * Put this in $HOME/.fetchmailrc server localhost proto imap port 143: user "someuser" pass "thepassword" * Retrieve email using this command line: fetchmail -a localhost --folder inbox-b -m "true" Note: By looking at the "true" above it is clear that whatever fetchmail does with the message is not important at all. You will see something like this: 12 messages for someuser at localhost (folder inbox-b). reading message someuser@localhost:1 of 12 (171 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:2 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:3 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:4 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:5 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:6 of 12 (171 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:7 of 12 (171 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:8 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:9 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:10 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:11 of 12 (245 header octets) (3 body octets) flushed reading message someuser@localhost:12 of 12 (273 header octets)fetchmail: incorrect header line found - see manpage for bad-header option not flushed And in fact "inbox-b" in the server is now like this: [...] >From root(a)example.com Tue Jan 13 10:18:20 2015 rstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz(a)example.com To: a(a)example.com Subject: a MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Message-Id: <20150113091737.B5ADA5F8B1(a)example.com> Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2015 10:17:25 +0100 (CET) X-UID: 16035 Status: O a Note how the From: line has been truncated from its original state. I have been suffering from this problem for months. At first I believed it was some misbehaving procmail/formail recipe I had on the server, but that's not the case as this example shows. Thanks.

Dovecot is not reading connections from iOS devices correctly. Any ideas?
by Robert Chalmers 11 May '15

11 May '15

From the dovecot logs. dovecot-info.log May 11 09:27:45 imap-login: Info: Aborted login (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=192.168.0.1, lip=192.168.0.15, session=<pXcBJ8oVbgDAqAAB> dovecot-debug.log May 11 09:27:45 auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=17388) When I try to connect using either the iOS Mail app, or Outlook mail app, nothing happens at al with ssl, and if I use plain login the iOS device tells me I have either the username or password wrong - which I haven't. Connection from Mac with MailMate works fine. iOS doesn't. so I'm stumped. I can't see why this is refusing the connection.

Full text search indexes not used for header/body OR queries?
by Robert L Mathews 09 May '15

09 May '15

I've noticed that when using Lucene full text search, most queries use the indexes and/or header cache and are fast: . SEARCH BODY test . OK Search completed (0.001 secs). . SEARCH SUBJECT test . OK Search completed (0.053 secs). . SEARCH BODY test SUBJECT test . OK Search completed (0.002 secs). . SEARCH OR SUBJECT test FROM test . OK Search completed (0.093 secs). But an OR query that mixes headers and body does not use the available FTS indexes for the BODY part and is slow: . SEARCH OR BODY test SUBJECT test * OK Searched 62% of the mailbox, ETA 0:05 * OK Searched 70% of the mailbox, ETA 0:04 . OK Search completed (15.147 secs). Is this the expected behavior? Since the FTS code can handle an AND of header and body searches, I'm surprised it doesn't do the same for an OR. I noticed this while tracking down poor performance in Thunderbird, which issues searches like this: UID SEARCH RETURN (ALL) (OR FROM "Evelyn" (OR SUBJECT "Evelyn" (OR TO "Evelyn" (OR CC "Evelyn" BODY "Evelyn")))) NOT DELETED These are slow even with FTS enabled because of this behavior. I'm using Dovecot 2.1.7 from Debian wheezy. (I know this is outdated; however, I've examined the 2.1.x and 2.2.x changelogs and found no mention of it.) -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies, http://www.tigertech.net/

PublicFolders using Maildir and INDEXPVT in Dovecot v2.2.13
by Panayiotis Fafakos 08 May '15

08 May '15

Dear all, we have succesfully configured Dovecot v2.2.13 in debian wheezy 7.8 (using backports) using Maildir structure, to use private index files for the \Seen flag on a per user basis. All users access their emails and Public Folders using IMAP protocol. The problem is that when a user moves an email from publicFolderA to publicFolderB under the same namespace the other users see this message as unread, although they have actually read it when it was in publicFolderA. Please note that this is an old message which has been moved , it was not copied, so the actual UID should be the same... Is there a way to keep the \Seen flag for the messages that are moved from folder to folder? Is there a way to keep the \Seen flag in a database, so that we can ignore the folder structure and only check the message UIDs? We could use MySQL, PgSQL or even SQLite... Below follows the Public-Folder namespace declaration: ------------------------------------------ namespace { inbox = no location = maildir:/var/vmail/Public-Folders:LAYOUT=fs:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/public/%u prefix = Public-Folders/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } ------------------------------------------ With the above system configuration we have the complete folder structure under ~/Maildir/public/%u, and many log files, one for each folder a user has accessed. Could we only have one index file for each user for all the public folder structure under the same namespace? Kind regards to all, Panayiotis Fafakos

Different mdbox_rotate_size for primary and alternate storage
by Paolo Cravero 08 May '15

08 May '15

Hello. In order to speed up backups of very very old messages I would like to set two different limits for mdbox_rotate_size. Like, 50M for primary storage and 100M or larger for alternate storage. There is no mention in docs or such a possibility, so I assume it is not possible. Is that correct? While I am at it, is it possible to configure primary storage as maildir (sturdy indexes) and altstorage as mdbox (more delicate indexes)? Thanks, Paolo
