[Dovecot] keeping indexes in tmpfs
by Justin McAleer 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

While doing some testing with converting accounts while simulating incoming mail load (no other pop/imap processes going but 4 processes converting users), we found that we were maxing out the local disk in the server with the index activity. To find out that it was the index activity, I mounted a tmpfs for dovecot to keep indexes on, and the system load dropped from 70 to 3 :) Anyway, Timo and others, do you have any thoughts about keeping indexes on a tmpfs partition? I realize the obvious issues with this: running out of space, and the fact that the partition is lost on reboot. However, we plan to run a cluster of these servers anyway, where we will keep domains/accounts going to a particular server but fail over to one of the others in case of an outage. Recreating the indexes seems pretty trivial when writing to tmpfs anyway, plus we could copy the indexes to disk (restore after reboot) in the case of planned outages... unplanned outages result in another server rebuilding them all anyway. So, I'm looking for non-obvious issues we may have with this approach. I need to do more testing to see how much memory we would actually need to feasibly keep the indexes there, but otherwise is there a good reason not to do this?

If I would actually use my eyes I would see: "Another problem is that although the namespace prefix shows up as a normal looking mailbox, Dovecot doesn't allow subscribing to it because it's not a real mailbox. This will be fixed in later versions." on the wiki page. Nevermind me :) I assume this hasn't been fixed yet?

[Dovecot] Different classes of user
by John Robinson 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hello list! Only recently joined, please excuse me if this is a stupid question. I'd like to have 2 classes of user: those with shell accounts, and those without. They'll all have "real" accounts, for which the password can be checked with PAM. I've set up SSL too. What I want to arrange is for users with shell accounts not to be succeed in logging in to Dovecot without using TLS/SSL. I'll have to allow unencrypted logins (for non-shell users), but I want to reject/refuse such a login from someone with a shell account. I've already made my exim do this, with the following logic in my authenticator there: if (pam auth ok) and ((tls) or (user's shell not listed in /etc/shells)) I haven't worked out how to make Dovecot do this, yet. So far I just tried using * as the PAM service name, in the hope that not only would pop3 or imap get passed through, but pop3s and imaps might, and I had a line in my /etc/pam.d/imap and pop like this: auth required pam_succeed_if.so debug shell notin /bin/bash:/bin/sh which worked, but unfortunately also got used for imapS logins. Then I realised this was likely to be the wrong thing anyway, because it would presumably only cover IMAPS on port 993, and not IMAP+TLS on the usual port 143. So I've had a go but got it wrong. What should I do to get it right? Cheers, John.

[Dovecot] timeout error in dovecot.log
by Joe Wong 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hello, I have upgraded to Dovecot 1.0.0, I saw a lot of error in the dovecot.log file: Timeout while waiting for lock for transaction log file /fs/example.com/joewong/Maildir/dovecot.index.log where /fs is a NFS mounted directory. What can be the cause of this problem? How to prevent this from happening? Thanks! - Joe

[Dovecot] Maildir, INDEX, and folders
by Troy Engel 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

I'm reading the wiki et el. regarding indexes, but can't come up with a coherent answer to the setup and what will happen. I want to take the indexes and move them off of NFS (~/Maildir) and place in /var/spool/dovecot/indexes, but not have to hand create everything (user homes, mail folders) So, I create a parent folder /var/spool/dovecot/indexes that has the appropriate permissions for writing by all users/dovecot. If I then set: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecot/indexes/%1u/%u ...will the dovecot daemon(s) automagically create (A) the parent user folders (i.e. .../indexes/t/tengel/)(1), and (B) the necessary subfolders for all the child folder indexes? (i.e. .../tengel/.Lists.Dovecot/) Most of the doc info seems to revolve around moving your indexes if you use mbox, I'm a little fuzzy on what happens with Maildir when you attempt this. thanks! -te (1) in our setup, initially user's home folders are created on an admin server -> NFS that is not the mail server, so Dovecot needs to create the home & index folders on it's own at runtime. -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com

[Dovecot] mail_log plugin
by Phillip T. George 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hello all, Is there any way to add additional options for the mail_log plugin? Specifically, I'm wanting to make it so IMAP copy commands will show the source filename and/or the user's IP address. Is this possible? If there are docs for this info, feel free to point me to it. -Phillip

[Dovecot] LDA problem
by Azher Amin 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

Hi, I am using dovecot deliver as lda for sendmail. My problem is that when a user account is over quota, deliver program sends message in the logs, but the message is not bounced back to sender informing that their is disk quota problem at the recipient side. Further message remains in the mail queue. Details are below. Plz suggest how to figure out the problems: 1. Message should be removed from queue if quota is exceeded 2. Sender should get a proper response.
