[Dovecot] Production server migration from mbox to maildir ( need advice )
by Frank Bonnet 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hello I'm going to change the raid array of my mailhub in fews days/weeks and I wonder if it would be a good idea to take the opportunity of this migration to also change the storage method from mailbox to maildir. I've never used maildir on my production server only on small satellites. So I really need advice of admins that use maildir format on prod servers. My server has approx 3500 users/mailboxes that is approx 450 Gb of data. The OS is Debian etch amd64 but could change also during the migration Opensuse X86_64, CAOS-NSA, FreeBSD 64 are some options. Any infos/experiences welcome, I'll summarize answers. Thanks a lot.

[Dovecot] Bynari Insight connector
by Maarten Bezemer 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hi, Since IMAP support in Outlook is 'somewhat broken', and Bynari has some promising specifications on their website, I might want to try their product. Does anyone here have any experience with their software? Would you recommend it? Or maybe point me at alternatives? (If there are any.. aside from ditching Outlook of course :-P ) Regards, Maarten Bezemer

[Dovecot] Google Summer of Code
by Charles Marcus 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

On another list, someone wrote: > Google Summer of Code is on it's Way. Start collecting students to > throw at projects now! This sounds like a great idea for dovecot too... Timo, maybe there are a few dovecot enhancements that would be good candidates for this? Maybe the test suite? Replication? LMTP server? Anyway, its just a thought... -- Best regards, Charles

Re: [Dovecot] Mapping usernames [RESOLVED]
by Henry 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Resolved. For others, this is the simple solution which works for me: /etc/dovecot.conf: auth default { userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/passwd } passdb passwd-file { args = scheme="MD5-CRYPT" /etc/dovecot.passwd } } /etc/dovecot.passwd: bob@vhost.com:$1$yAOjs09l$...::::::userdb_user=vabc_bob (the encrypted password "$1$yAOjs09l$..." comes from /etc/shadow) /etc/passwd: vabc_bob:x:20838:2362:bob:/home/mailusers/vabc_bob:/sbin/nologin "abc" could also be the domain ("vhost"), but this might be too large for really long domain names. So we rather use a short unique prefix for each domain.

[Dovecot] file name missing component in error message
by Mike Abbott 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Hi, we occasionally see this error message from maildir_mail_set_cache_corrupted(): "Maildir filename has wrong W value: %s/%s" but the path it prints is missing a component, specifically, the new/cur/tmp component. For example: /Volumes/Spool/user/maildir/12345.M123P123.example.com.... should be /Volumes/Spool/user/maildir/cur/12345.M123P123.example.com.... This is using dovecot-1.1.10. Now I just have to figure out why the file is corrupted in the first place.

[Dovecot] quota - implement via dovecot or postfix? which is easier ?
by Linux Advocate 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

Guys, i m new to dovecot. I m setting up a new mailserver and planning to run dovecot and postfix of a centos 5.2 box. I have been reading of quota management from various sources and understand that mail box quota can be implemented either thru postfix ( with vda patch ) or thru dovecot. i rather not patch postfix and m therefore leaning towards quota via dovecot. But after reading some posts ,etc, it seems that the information on the dovecot wiki is inaccurate. A.Any comments on this? B. Am i right in concluding that its easier and better in the long run to implement and enforce quotas thru dovecot instead of postfix? C. The right instructions for implementing quota thru dovecot? Regards, marco.

[Dovecot] CentOS 5 ... again
by Roderick A. Anderson 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

At this point I don't think I can do anymore damage to my mail server but I'd like to know if anyone else is using the pre-built RPM files from ATrpms before I install them? http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-1.1.11-0_90.el5.i386.rpm http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-sieve-1.1.6-9.el5.i386.rpm Or is there a dovecot-sieve for 1.0.7 from the rpmforge repo? I haven't found it yet but could have sworn I had it before. Thanks, Rod --
