[Dovecot] Logging options
Hi,
is it possible to configure dovecot's logging so it logs stuff like "User x logged in from IP/Host y and had z new messages" like I'm used from qpopper? That immensely helps when debugging PEBKAC issues.
Enabling auth_verbose isnt really helpfull since a failed login generates 4 lines, some even without a pid - so it's a bit hard guessing which log entry belongs to which login attempt or even writing a script which checks for those.
Regards, Thomas
Any suggestions on what I can do to diagnose this problem?
Thanks,
Doug

How big is your maildir?
Raising mail_process_size setting probably helps, although you'd have to have quite a large maildir to go above the default 256MB.. Unless something got corrupted (indexes?) and tries to allocate too much memory because of it. I don't think that should ever happen, though..
I get a report of 2698352 from du -k on this particular Maildir. I'm not sure if that's considered "large" for private mailboxes.
What would be a good setting? And is there a good way to rebuild all the indices?
Thanks,
Doug

for that I dunno

I think 2 GB is a pretty big mailbox. Although the number of mails is more important than their size.

You can disable it by setting "mail_process_size = 0". For "normal" sized mailboxes the default 256MB limit should never be reached..
And is there a good way to rebuild all the indices?
Deleting them is pretty much the only way.

Not yet. You could change the code yourself though.
pop3/client.c at the end of client_create() and/or beginning of client_destroy(). Put something like:
i_info("message count = %u", client->messages_count);
The IP can be set with dovecot-stable and 1.0-test releases from config file:
mail_log_prefix = "%Us(%u,ip=%r): "
