ATrpms repo
by Will Yardley 16 Jul '14

Tried mailing the maintainer, but didn't get a response -- anyone know what's happened to the ATrpms repo? Not only is http://atrpms.net/name/dovecot/ empty, but: http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el6/ seems to return a 404. Some of the mirrors still have the packages, but does anyone know if they're going to continue to build 2.2.x packages? w

fts solr database size

Hi, Could anyone share any numbers about real life solr database size/cpu/memory usage for certain amounts of messages ? We have now over 5TB of maildirs (about 5 000-6 000 concurrent imap clients) and I'm trying to guess how much hardware might be needed. -- Michal

Dovecot2 Antispam MAILTRAIN backend with SpamAssassin
by Mohammad S. Babaei 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hi there, I've already asked this question on FreeBSD forums without getting any response. So, I thought it's a good idea to ask it again here. I've setup Dovecote2 (2.2.13) + Postfix + SpamAssassin on my FreeBSD 10 VPS and it works flawlessly. Though, I couldn't setup the Dovecot Antispam plugin to train SpamAssassin when I move mails to the Junk folder. I installed the plugin from FreeBSD ports and followed the official documentation [1] and the man page [2] without any success.

Permissions with mailman
by Niklas Lemcke - 林樂寬 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hi, I'm running a Mailserver, and recently also a Mailinglist. I'm sporting # dovecot --version 2.1.7 on a debian stable machine with postfix & mailman. Everything works fine, except that no archive is being created (here an excerpt from my log): Jul 2 15:29:39 blade01 postfix/qmgr[5217]: B30BCE1F52: from=<list(a)mail.myserver.com>, size=802, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 2 15:29:39 blade01 dovecot: lda(list): Error: user list: Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: mkdir(/var/mail/vmail//list/mail) failed: Permission denied (euid=38(list) egid=38(list) missing +w perm: /var/mail/vmail/, we're not in group 5000(vmail), dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0775) Jul 2 15:29:39 blade01 dovecot: lda(list): Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Jul 2 15:29:39 blade01 postfix/local[2778]: B30BCE1F52: to=<list(a)mail.myserver.com>, orig_to=<list>, relay=local, delay=12578, delays=12578/0.16/0/0.17, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure) Now since dovecot is running as user vmail (the other mail folders are all well managed and accessed by it, and all owned by vmail:vmail) I thought it might be saying that the user list is not in group vmail. Now: $ groups list list : list vmail and the permissions are 775, but it's still complaining about "missing +w perm". What is it referring to with "we're not in group 5000"? Thanks for any help! -- Niklas - 林樂寬

All, Just move our mail servers over to a new mail server running postfix 2.11.1 and dovecot 2.2.13 and getting the subject line errors in my /var/adm/files. People are complaining of loosing their connections to the mail server. I've been able to google this error but haven't found fix for this yet. NOt sure where to put the drop-priv option in the config files either. Any suggestions?

Changed IMAP MOVE behavior in Dovecot 2.2.x
by Iavor Stoev 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hello, After the migration to Dovecot 2.2.13 from Dovecot 2.1.17, I noticed a changed behavior when I move a message from one folder to another. I use Thunderbird with: Account Settings -> Server Settings -> When I delete a message: Just mark it as deleted. I use Thunderbird 24.6.0 with IMAP. With Dovecot 2.1.x when I move a message, the message appears in the new folder and is marked for deletion in the original folder (which gives me an easy option to undo the action if I made a mistake until I choose to Compact/Purge the folder). With Dovecot 2.2.x when I move the a message it is marked for deletion and is AUTO Compacted/Purged immediately. Is there a way to achieve the 2.1.x behavior with Dovecot 2.2.x? Thank you Iavor

Integrity check of mailboxes before dsync
by Murray Trainer 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Hi All, I am migrating a large number of Dovecot mailboxes - some of them are quite old. I hit an issue yesterday with a corrupt file (index?) that was preventing the mailbox from being synced properly As soon as I removed the file the dsync worked. Is there a way to check the integrity of each mailbox / indexes before I dsync it? Thanks Murray

director / main instance
by Will Yardley 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

I have directors and backend servers running on the same systems (x3). To be able to run doveadm foo with a minimum of fuss (without having to list socket paths explicitly), should it be the director that's the "default"? If so, is it safe to symlink '/var/run/dovecot' to '/var/run/dovecot-director', or should I just make the director's base path /var/run/dovecot directly? in dovecot-director.conf, I have: service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 8889 } } local 192.168.x.0/24 { doveadm_password = Foo } doveadm_proxy_port = 8888 and in dovecot-main.conf, I have: service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 8888 } } local 192.168.x.0/24 { doveadm_password = Foo } protocol doveadm { auth_socket_path = director-userdb } Is this correct (and is there anything unneeded / redundant there)? # dovecot instance list path name last used running /var/run/dovecot-director director 2014-07-14 20:36:49 yes /var/run/dovecot-main main 2014-07-14 20:36:49 yes # dovecot director status mail server ip vhosts users 192.168.x.xx 100 2 192.168.x.xx 100 0 192.168.x.xx 100 0
