[Dovecot] Upgrading dovecot 1.0.7 -> 2.0.14 / Redhat EL 5.7
by Götz Reinicke 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hi, recently I debugged some load and performance and 'log out' problems and found an error in the dovecot logs: Error: pipe() failed: Too many open files Googling around and reading some posts led to the conclusion, that my problem is a bug, which will not be removed. So I'm thinking of upgrading to the latest prebuild rpm from here: http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/ As far as I understand the upgrading instructions, I'll be save as we dont use special setting, but I'll check all changes. My question: Dose anybody has done such an upgrade yet? Or are there any suggestion or hints? Thanks a lot and best regards.

Hi! Is there anybody out there who has ported the antispam-storage-1.x.c to antispam-storage-2.0.c? Or is there an alternative to the antispam plugin? Thanks Lars

Having dsync to make backups from existing mail-spaces, it would be nice to make dsync syncing the sieve-dirs too. -Otherweise backups aren't complete...

[Dovecot] Problems with permissions on mail_location
by Vlad 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Hi, All! I have 2.0.beta6 (3156315704ef) Trying to set up Dovecot with virtual users. mail_uid=mail mail_gid=mail mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%n /var/mail owner is mail:mail, permissions is 777 From error log: Oct 31 13:34:17 imap(test): Error: user test: Initialization failed:Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: mkdir(/var/mail/test) failed: Permission denied (euid=8(mail) egid=12(mail) missing +w perm: /var/mail, euid is not dir owner) but /var/mail owner is mail:mail (same the euid, egid). In what may be the problem? (With full rights to the directory dovecot does not want to write it :-\ ) If I change /var/mail to /tmp/mail (for testing), then everything works fine, dovecot can write to this directory. But if i create /test/mail, or /mail with chmod 777 and chown mail:mail - again the same error :-( -- С уважением, Vlad mailto:vladsol@ukr.net

[Dovecot] dovecot creating literal %d/%n/ folders
by sean darcy 31 Oct '11

I have a virtual user test1. cat /etc/dovecot/users test1@<mydomain>:{PLAIN}test1pass:504:504::/home/vmail/%d/%n catchall@<mydomain>:{PLAIN}password:504:504::/home/vmail/%d/%n @<mydomain>:{PLAIN}password:504:504::/home/vmail/<mydomain>/catchall test1@example.com:{PLAIN}test1pass:504:504::/home/vmail/%d/%n ls /home/vmail/%d/%n/mail cur dovecot.index.cache dovecot.index.log dovecot-uidlist dovecot-uidvalidity dovecot-uidvalidity.4eab20a7 new tmp and mail to test1@<mydomain> goes into this %d/%n folder. In fact dovecot created the folder - at least I didn't. from dovecot-info.log Oct 28 17:43:11 auth: Debug: master in: USER 4 test1@<mydomain> service=lmtp Oct 28 17:43:11 auth: Debug: passwd(test1@<mydomain>): lookup Oct 28 17:43:11 auth: Info: passwd(test1@<mydomain>): unknown user Oct 28 17:43:11 auth: Debug: passwd-file(test1@<mydomain>): lookup: user=test1@<mydomain> file=/etc/dovecot/users Oct 28 17:43:11 auth: Debug: master out: USER 4 test1@<mydomain> uid=504 gid=504 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n Oct 28 17:43:11 lmtp(4533, test1@<mydomain>): Info: l6DnLacgq061EQAABoXEcA: msgid=<4EAB21EC.9070905(a)gmail.com>: saved mail to INBOX I would have expected dovecot to expand this to /home/vmail/<mydomain>/test1. Or are the %u %d variables only expanded in certain files? sean

[Dovecot] Manage dovecot maildir on multiple servers
by Arlin 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Any suggestions on how to implement dovecot maildir on multiple servers. Does this required independent installation of Dovecot on each servers, or a single instance of Dovecot with shared MailDir would serve the purpose? Thanks, Arlin

[Dovecot] how to tell dovecot v2.0.1 not to listen on port 143
by Lars Täuber 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Hi. Sorry for breaking this thread, but I just subscribed from a different address. I made a mistake. I didn't mean »imaps« but »imap2« How can I configure dovecot not to listen for imap connections on port 143. I want dovecot to listen only on port 993. And ssl = required is already set. So this is not the right solution. I just comemnted the whole inet_listener imap {...} section out. But this seems to be some kind of default setting. I tried to set: inet_listener { address = none } I tried to leave the address variable blank. But no succes. Good night Lars

[Dovecot] Quotas with Maildir and mdbox
by Dr Matthew Williams 28 Oct '11

28 Oct '11

Hello, We use LDAP to store our Maildir++ quota information for our Maildir mailboxes. I notice in the documentation that only SQL and flat files are supported by the dictionary quota if I want to use quota with mdbox? Are there any plans to allow LDAP to be used as the store?
