[Dovecot] MRTG
by Luigi Rosa 21 Jan '07

Quite a long ago someone proposed a patch to allow the Dovecot data to be collected and displayed via MRTG. Is there anyone who is actually using MRTG to analyze Dovecot traffic?

[Dovecot] Message size incorrect?
by Tristan Woudenberg - Prism Mail Solutions 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

Hi there, I recently installed a plugin for SquirelMail (php imap client, squirrelmail.org) which adds up message sizes per folder to display a nice total size of each subscribed folder. After consulting the plugin maintainers at SquirrelMail in this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.plugins/12468/focus=12468 There is quite a discrepancy in the rfc822.size reported by Dovecot and the actual space it takes up on my harddisk. I know there could be some overhead here from all the dovecot* and subscription list files in my imap folders, but like I stated in my email to the SquirrelMail plugin mailing list, about 1mb for a 4.3mb maildir mailbox might be a but much. Could this be like Tomas Kuliavas wrote: "Maybe those message have some data that does not belong to message or their formating breaks dovecot's message parsing functions."? I'm using Dovecot-1.0.rc15, sorry if this has been fixed between this release and the current. Kindest regards, Tristan -- Prism Mail Solutions Deployment, customization and hosting http://prism.nl

Re: [Dovecot] dovecot-auth file descriptor usage

I hope this helps. > If there is anything else I can provide to shed more light, let me know. login_processes_count = 32 This means that Dovecot always keeps extra 32 login processes that don't do anything else than wait for new connections. That's not at least helping :) Anyway, I'd like to get lsof of an imap-login process that is doing SSL proxying. Unfortunately I don't think there's any simple way to know what processes are doing that and what aren't. Setting login_process_count=1 at least makes it more likely that you'll hit the right process. If trussing the process shows that it's writing some garbage to file descriptor 1, it's probably proxying SSL..

[Dovecot] Mistake in Wiki
by Juha Saarinen 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA reads: "Exim System-users Replace/rewrite the default local_delivery router:" I believe it should refer to a the default local_deliver transport, and not router. The page is immutable so can't edit it. -- Juha http://www.geekzone.co.nz/juha

[Dovecot] stale locks
by Thomas Hummel 20 Jan '07

20 Jan '07

Hello Timo, I'm running dovecot-1.0.rc15 (imap and pop) postfix-2.3.5,1 procmail-3.22_6 (which is my LDA) on FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE I'm still using the mbox format (I'm planning to migrate to Maildir soon), mailboxes are on an NFS filesystem. I regulary see stale dotlocks files (either from dovecot (29 bytes, hold the pid of the process) or procmail (1 byte) and processes stucked in Disk Wait state. The only way I can get ridd of them is to restart nfslocking remove the .lock file change the inode of the mailbox file locking strategies are fcntl for mbox_read in dovecot dotlock fcntl for mbox_write in dovecot dotlock fcntl for procmail so I can't figure out why I see such stale locks and processes. Note : I disabled nfs attribute caching so I avoid cache related issues (such as a dotlock showing up late, etc...) Besides, I often see several imap-login processes for the same remote IP address. Does it means the user has several instances of his UA running or is it the behavior of some UA (Eudora ? Thunderbird ?) even if only one instance is run by the user. In any case, wouldn't that be dead-lock/stale lock prone ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau
