This is 64bit AIX 5.3. Looking through previous versions of dovecot, I see this warning. I didn't realize this was something bad until today. My environment uses mbox/mbox-snarf plugin. The message in the logs is: local0.log.20090429:Apr 29 12:41:16 hostname dovecot: IMAP(jsiegle): Timeout leak: 1100054c0 In dbx(the AIX debugger) I see: $ dbx imap Type 'help' for help. reading symbolic information ...

[Dovecot] fts-solr plugin issue (Marked invalid)
by Nikolai Derzhak 01 May '09

Hi. We user ftp-solr plugin and have problem with solr-1.3+ with HTMLStripWhitespaceTokenizerFactory (Solr schema in attachments). In some maildir's present messages with wrong "Content-Type: " fields in attachments. For example: " Content-Type: TEXT/mspowerpoint; name="Zapatec_6zap_netvibes_1.ppt" " Indexing for this messages is stop with "fts_solr: Indexing failed: 500 Internal Server Error". In solr log is: " SEVERE: java.io.IOException: Mark invalid at java.io.BufferedReader.reset(BufferedReader.java:485) " (mail list with discussion: http://markmail.org/message/2fnfiwygvehjngyr#query:SEVERE%3A%20java.io.IOEx…) Look's like dovecot try to index attachments like this. Also for some messages we have same error. Dovecot stop indexing of box and each search we have lag and CPU load on server. So we need to make dovecot more "stable" to this error. For first time , will be good, just ignore problematic messages with error from solr. Let's discuss this issue, because this is general problem. We ready to explore code where needed , etc. Regards, Nikolai Powered by the 6zap. Sign up at http://www.6zap.com for an account that provides advanced e-mail, calendar and contacts capabilities.

Dovecot > then does the rest. That seems simple - thanks. Do I just put a list of retrievers, one after the other with a single destination following that and let dovecot sort out the destinations? The only thing I don't understand and can't find/understand in the documentation is how to tell the LDA where to put my e-mails. I have mails to several addresses mixed up in several POP3 boxes and need to sort them out and deliver them based on the target address. e.g. michael@domain1 and michael@domain2 go to my box etc. I can't see where I identify the addresses and allocate the appropriate storage area. Thanks, Michael
