If you are using this DNSBL in your MTA, best remove it, it's no more.

[Dovecot] how to talk with doveadmin unix socket

Hello, I would like to get mailbox quota by doveadm unix socket (/var/run/dovecor/doveadm-server). I get from strace syntax of comunication: write(9, "VERSION\t1\t0\nUSER\t1\tpiotr.rotter(a)active24.pl\tservice=doveadm\n", 60) = 60 read(9, "VERSION\t1\t1\nSPID\t20805\n", 8192) = 23 read(9, "USER\t1\tpiotr.rotter@active24.pl\temail=piotr.rotter@active24.pl\tclear=7T33z456\thome=/vm/08/A/active24.pl/piotr.rotter/\tuid=502\tgid=502\tquota_rule=*:storage=2097152000B\tquota_rule2=*:messages=50000\n", 8169) = 196 and I wrote super simple client in php: <?php $sock = stream_socket_client('unix:///var/run/dovecot/doveadm-server', $errno, $errstr); fwrite($sock, "VERSION\t1\t0\nUSER\t1\tpiotr.rotter(a)active24.pl\tservice=doveadm\n"); echo fread($sock, 4096)."\n"; echo fread($sock, 4096)."\n"; fclose($sock); ?> But i get only "+" sign and line in errorlog as below: 2013-02-28T00:39:56.377437+01:00 kurier9 dovecot: doveadm: Error: doveadm client not compatible with this server (mixed old and new binaries?) I would be very grateful for your help with this problem, what I doing wrong. My current dovecot version is 2.1.13

Some IMAP clients do sort folders, others do not, so they show different folder sort order in Dovecot, if migrated from Courier (Courier seems to sort folders, so that the system ones appear first).

[Dovecot] No NTLM with PAM after upgrade
by Phil Quesinberry 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

After updating From Dovecot 1.07 (included with CentOS 5) to 2.11, NTLM authentication will not work. Attempts to authenticate against Samba version 4.0.4-GIT-20cb7de also fail with 'auth: Info: winbind(?,192.168.2.100): user not authenticated: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL', despite the fact that the same user can sign on to the Samba domain and access files. What I'm really trying to understand here though is why version 1.07 would do NTLM with PAM just fine, but later versions I've tried will not. After failing to get later versions to work, I decided to see if I could at least get them to do NTLM by authenticating against a Samba domain but that won't work either. 1.07 did NTLM just fine authenticating against a system user account with PAM, as demonstrated by the following excerpt from the log: dovecot: Feb 06 12:46:59 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:46:59 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:47:42 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 06 12:47:42 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:03 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:03 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:44 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out dovecot: Feb 06 12:48:44 Info: IMAP(pquesinb): Disconnected: Logged out Authentication settings for 1.07 were as follows (excerpt from -n output, see below for full output): auth default: mechanisms: ntlm plain passdb: driver: passwd-file args: /etc/dovecot.users passdb: driver: pam args: cache_key=%u dovecot userdb: driver: passwd Since 1.07 was such an old version, I first tried updating to 1.2.17 and lost the ability to do NTLM authentication with the same settings: Feb 06 16:09:32 dovecot: Info: Dovecot v1.2.17 starting up (core dumps disabled) Feb 06 16:09:46 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:09:53 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:10:05 imap-login: Info: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts): user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 Feb 06 16:11:54 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:12:04 auth(default): Info: password(pquesinb,192.168.2.100): Requested NTLM scheme, but we have a NULL password Feb 06 16:12:16 imap-login: Info: Disconnected (auth failed, 2 attempts): user=<pquesinb>, method=NTLM, rip=192.168.2.100, lip=192.168.2.102 Next I decided to try 2.x and since I had installed 1.2.17 from source, I thought it would be wise to install from an RPM which had been "blessed" for CentOS 5, so 2.1.1 was installed from the RPMs linked to on the Dovecot download site: http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot-2.1.1-2_132.el5.x86_64.rpm Still no NTLM authentication with 2.x using PAM, so I decided to try authenticating against the Samba 4 domain using Samba's winbind daemon and ntlm_auth helper.

[Dovecot] Maildir Control files and quota
by Tabbed Out 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello all, the dovecot wiki recommended that the index and control files for maildir be placed on a partition which does not have a quota. I have a VPS which gives me 20 gigs of space. Since space is tight, is there some way to calculate how much space the partition needs for the control and index files? Would 1 gig be sufficient in the long run?

[Dovecot] postfix, dovecot, samba, winbind
by Denis Witt 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello List, we're currently working on the migration of our LDAP/Samba3-Domain to Samba4-Active-Directory. So far everything works fine. Postfix can deliver Mails using ProxyAddresses-Information from the AD and Dovecot delivers the mail. Unfortunately when Postfix tells Dovecot to deliver the mail he submit the username without the AD-Domain part: Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/pickup[30396]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: uid=0 from=<root> Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/cleanup[30402]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: message-id=<20130228161759.5DDAE2C0C2B(a)mx0.concepts-and-training.de> Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/qmgr[30395]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: from=<root(a)concepts-and-training.de>, size=463, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc dovecot: lda(dwitt): msgid=<20130228161759.5DDAE2C0C2B(a)mx0.concepts-and-training.de>: saved mail to INBOX Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/local[30404]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: to=<dwitt(a)concepts-and-training.de>, orig_to=<denis.witt(a)cat06.de>, relay=local, delay=0.24, delays=0.1/0.01/0/0.13, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver) Feb 28 17:17:59 tpdc postfix/qmgr[30395]: 5DDAE2C0C2B: removed So Dovecot saves the Mail to "/var/mail/dwitt/", which is fine for me. The Problem kicks in when I try to read my Mail. Dovecot uses "TESTDOM\dwitt" as username and so he didn't find the Mailbox and create a new one in "/var/mail/TESTDOM\dwitt". I tried to fix it with auth_username_translation and auth_username_format but it doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks!

[Dovecot] help needed with dovecot authentication
by peter lawrie 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi I have been asked to configure an dedicated rhel6 server for a customer. I did not realise when I took this on how complicated it was going to be! The purpose of the server is to host a group of websites for small businesses. It came with postfix-2.6.6-2.2 dovecot-2.0.9 and mysql-2.1.67-1 I have installed virtualmin 3.98, usermin1.540-1 and horde 5 About a dozen currently inactive websites have been set up, mail is in /home/<domain>/Maildir My problem is that I can telnet to postfix to send and receive emails and can see these within postfix in webmin I have been having many problems getting dovecot to connect successfully to postfix. I have also installed horde 5 which requires to authenticate to an imap server - that is dovecot. This one server is intended to provide all services, so plain authentication is fine. But I can't use /etc/passwd as the users are in virtualmin I tried configuring ssl, with self-certification so the browser interface is https: At the moment I've restored dovecot.conf and conf.d/10-master.conf, 10-auth.conf and 10-mail.conf to their original settings. So an attempt to login through usermin gives me this Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Fatal: sql: Configuration file path not given Feb 28 19:44:19 scotz1 dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling Previous to restoring the conf files I was getting this from horde Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=25627) Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH#0111#011PLAIN#011service=imap#011secured#011lip=127.0.0.1#011rip=127.0.0.1#011lport=143#011rport=439 54#011resp=dGVzdHNjb3R6LmNvLnVrAHRlc3RzY290ei5jby51awBwYXNzd29yZA== Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libauthdb_ldap.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_mysql.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libdriver_sqlite.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/auth/libmech_gssapi.so Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd(testscotz.co.uk,127.0.0.1): lookup Feb 28 17:55:02 scotz1 dovecot: auth: passwd(testscotz.co.uk,127.0.0.1): unknown user Horde is using mysql for its database, but I don't particularly care what dovecot uses, although it seems sensible to do the same I have created and removed several mysql databases during my attempts to get this to work. I would greatly appreciate some assistance with this as every 'howto' I have found by googling describes different setups and just gets me deeper in the mire! I want an authentication mechanism on this one server that virtualmin users and horde users (same people!) can use for imap mail. I thought I knew what I was doing before I took this one on (I have configured and manage a dozen centos servers), but this one is making my head spin. Yours in hope! Peter Lawrie

[Dovecot] Disallow Deletion from Trash Folder
by Bradley Rintoul 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello: I've been tasked with trying to find a way to keep users from ever "permanently" deleting emails. The users are running Thunderbird and are using the "Archive" option for when emails are deleted. However, they are still able to delete emails from the Archive folders... I'm wondering if there's any way that I can configure Dovecot to make sure that emails *never* get removed from the filesystem. I know it's probably kind of a bizarre request, but is there any way that Dovecot can help me out in this regard? Thanks! B. Rintoul

Before describing the symptom, let me give you the situation... I'm running Claws-Mail 3.8.1 on Xubuntu 12.10. On the way out I just do normal port 465 SSL to my web host's SMTP server. On the way back, fetchmail grabs my messages from my ISP using IMAP (and erasing them on on the ISP's server after retrieval), then delivers them to procmail, which, based on filters, drops them into the correct directories of the Dovecot server running on my desktop. Claws-mail then views all my email on the IMAP server. slitt@mydesk:~$ dovecot -n # 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.5.0-25-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 12.10 ext4 At the bottom of this email I'll put a copy of a typical full header on a post from me. Here's the symptom: Every time I reply to an OCLUG post, Claws-Mail loads the *To* with oclug(a)mailman.oclug.org and the *CC* with oclug(a)penguin.oclug.org. Unless I remember to delete the CC, this makes me double post every time, and must be quite annoying to you all. This happens *only* on OCLUG posts: None of my other mailing lists display this symptom. It's actually weirder than that, because although when I compose the message the preceding is true, by the time I get the two messages back they both say oclug(a)penguin.oclug.org. This happens only with the OCLUG list, no others. I studied the full headers of the two messages when they came back to me, and could discern no difference in the two. What I did find, however, is that all OCLUG messages have: List-Post: <mailto:oclug@mailman.oclug.org> Reply-To: Orange County Linux Users Group <oclug(a)penguin.oclug.org> List-Id: Orange County Linux Users Group <oclug.mailman.oclug.org> Can anyone tell me how to start narrowing down the cause of this behavior? I've CC'ed the Claws-Mail list and the Dovecot list in hopes that maybe they have some ideas. The fact that the rest of you don't post doubles makes me wonder if it's a mail client thing (but of course, only for OCLUG).

[Dovecot] Looking for HOWTO for fc18 with postfix/TLS/imaps
by Alex 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi all, Does there already exist a document that outlines the best approach to implement postfix with dovecot? I'd like to set up a Maildir system with TLS clients and SMTP Auth. I don't think I need to require client certs, but want to avoid cleartext passwords. It's unclear to me whether to use 143 with TLS or 993. I've currently set it up using 143 with STARTTLS using normal passwords. Is this correct? Can I use a regular apache web cert to provide an authorized cert and key to use for authentication by the clients? Thanks, Alex

[Dovecot] Support for PolarSSL?
by Charles Marcus 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hey Timo, Just curious if you ever thought about supporting other than just OpenSSL? PolarSSL looks really interesting, has no major dependencies and is very lightweight compared to OpenSSL, GNUTLS or others... https://polarssl.org/ I guess it could be a lot of work, or not, anyway, I'm just curious... -- Best regards, */Charles/*

[Dovecot] Best practice for sieve script synchronization
by Oli Schacher 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

We consider deploying a two server active-active setup with dsync replication for ~2500 users. I was wondering how people handle sieve script synchronization in such setups. We came up with a few options for syncing: 1) rsync/unison ~/sieve every x seconds 2) move sieve dirs to separatate partition and sync with gluster or drbd 3) patch roundcube managesieve sieve plugin to upload to both managesieve servers (only roundcube can access managesieve in our setup) 4) store sieve scripts in mysql and patch roundcube managesieve plugin to directly access the db instead of using managesieve (we tried this, but apparently sieve scripts read from db via dovecot dict can't have more than one line? show stopper due to roundcube sieve plugin needing comments to parse the scripts) 5) wait until Timo/Stephan add additional magic to dsync for sieve scripts as discussed in http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-October/061699.html ;-) We are tending towards 1) as this seems simplest and most robust solution but before we re-invent the wheel we'd like to "hear" your thoughts...

[Dovecot] sieve /editheader / addheader :last crash
by Peter Rindfuss 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hi Everybody, I'm using dovecot 2.1.14 from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ with debian squeeze stable. In general, sieve works fine for me, but "addheader :last ..." from the editheader extension causes a crash when it processes a message. I was able to narrow this down a bit: It only happens if "addheader :last" is the first editheader command executed in a script. If it is preceded by any "deleteheader" or "addheader" without ":last", everything is fine. This is what I get from sieve-test when it crashes: sieve-test(root): Panic: file istream.c: line 133 (i_stream_read): assertion failed: (_stream->skip != _stream->pos) sieve-test(root): Error: Raw backtrace: /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x4881a) [0x7f5e0b37681a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(default_fatal_handler+0x32) [0x7f5e0b376902] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_error+0) [0x7f5e0b349f7f] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x17c) [0x7f5e0b37da9c] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x51453) [0x7f5e0b37f453] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x5150e) [0x7f5e0b37f50e] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x69) [0x7f5e0b37d989] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x53fe1) [0x7f5e0b381fe1] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read+0x69) [0x7f5e0b37d989] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(i_stream_read_data+0x52) [0x7f5e0b37dc72] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(io_stream_copy+0x41) [0x7f5e0b38ae21] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(+0x5e1de) [0x7f5e0b38c1de] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot.so.0(o_stream_send_istream+0x33) [0x7f5e0b38acb3] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_save_continue+0x38) [0x7f5e0be0caf8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mail_storage_copy+0xb8) [0x7f5e0be376d8] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(maildir_copy+0x56) [0x7f5e0be086c6] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-storage.so.0(mailbox_copy+0x4a) [0x7f5e0be3ce9a] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(+0x3fa66) [0x7f5e0c103a66] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(+0x366b4) [0x7f5e0c0fa6b4] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_result_execute+0x3ff) [0x7f5e0c0fabef] -> /usr/lib/dovecot/libdovecot-sieve.so.0(sieve_execute+0x56) [0x7f5e0c10b456] -> sieve-test(main+0x73e) [0x403a5e] -> /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x7f5e0abdec8d] -> sieve-test() [0x403219] Aborted Best regards Peter

But I tried to create a fresh account in Dovecot (not migrated from Courier), and it still shows a intermixed folder order: a list "" * * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Spam" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Sent" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Drafts" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Trash" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "Pub" a OK List completed. So, it is not a migration problem -- note that it is the LIST command output, so it is not got influenced by some IMAP client folder searchlist/mask or its namespace settings (like in Thunderbird) WBR, valery

[Dovecot] patch for crash while FTS-searching through virtual mailbox
by Mike Abbott 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

FTS-searching through a virtual mailbox crashes dovecot-2.1.15 when the FTS backend does not support lookup_multi. src/plugins/fts/fts-api.h says for fts_backend_lookup() that "The arrays in result must be initialized by caller." FTS backends can therefore assume that the arrays are initialized by their caller. However, fts_backend_lookup_multi() does not initialize the per-box arrays before calling the FTS backend’s lookup function. This patch fixes the resulting crash. --- dovecot-2.1.15/src/plugins/fts/fts-api.c 2012-08-03 09:09:28.000000000 -0500 +++ dovecot/src/plugins/fts/fts-api.c 2013-02-28 14:35:43.000000000 -0600 @@ -337,8 +337,12 @@ result->box_results = p_new(result->pool, struct fts_result, i+1); for (i = 0; boxes[i] != NULL; i++) { + struct fts_result *box_result = &result->box_results[i]; + p_array_init(&box_result->definite_uids, result->pool, 32); + p_array_init(&box_result->maybe_uids, result->pool, 32); + p_array_init(&box_result->scores, result->pool, 32); if (backend->v.lookup(backend, boxes[i], args, - and_args, &result->box_results[i]) < 0) + and_args, box_result) < 0) return -1; } return 0;

[Dovecot] header brakage on sieve redirect ?

Hi all, In the sieve file require ["copy"]; redirect :copy "asdf(a)asd.pl"; emails with headers containing \n in non terminated " field like Cc: xxx <xxx(a)plus.pl>, "asd, Grzegorz " <xxxxx(a)nsn.com> Subject: RE: RF after redirecting them Cc: xxx <xxx(a)plus.pl>, "asd,\ \ Grzegorz " <xxxxx(a)nsn.com> Subject: RE: RF mail delivered locally by dovecot-lda is unaltered lack of space before second \ brakes the headers. I'm investigating if this isn't cosed by qmail-inject, but my first suspect is sieve. dovecot 2.0.13, sieve 0.3.3, dovecot-delivery is used as an exclusive lda for qmail Regards, Michal Grzedzicki

[Dovecot] Public free (libre) mailbox hosting service for everybody!
by אנטולי קרס נר 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hello e-mail software developers and users! I'd like to ask all of you a question. And of course hear relevant opinion. I've been using free software happily for a few years, and I found free/open source alternatives for many popular proprietary tools such as Facebook, Dropbox, Micro$oft Windows & Office, Youtube, Skype and many many others. Some of the alternatives are probably known to some of you, while others are still unknown to many. But I couldn't find a replacement to mailbox hosting. I'm using a Gmail mailbox and I hate it. So many free and open source mail servers and I still use Gmail, a closed-source service (which also probably tracks all my data, including Google searches I do, and uses it for all kinds of statistics and advertising, but that's another issue). So I asked myself, why is there no mailbox hosting service which respects user freedom? I sent an e-mail to the Free Software Foundation, and got a suggestion to ask all of you: do you know any free (libre) mail server out there? If you do, please inform me, and the whole free software community, developers and users. I couldn't find any. If nobody else finds any either, the plan is to start a new server. There are so many server tools and programs, like the ones you use and develop. It's just like hosting a Git repository or videos of pictures for the masses. We can do it with e-mail too. Q: Why don't I start my own personal server? A: I'm a programmer and I can do it - with some effort, but I can. The problem is not me. The problem is that all the non-programmer and non-technical users can't. And they shouldn't. We tech people can, and should, run such servers for everybody. For all users who want their basic freedoms respected. Another question to tech people: I'm not an expert in e-mail software, so I'm not really sure setting up a server is as easy as all other online services we get, such as Diaspora (facebook replacement), MediaGoblin (Youtube replacement), Gitorious (git repo hosting). Is there a technical issue preventing people from running a mail server, or it's just a matter of having enough money to run it, and the necessary technical skills (which many of you probably have). If it's possible, we'll do it. Also, if users had to pay for such a service, it would be okay. I don't mind paying for my free software stack. I'd actually find it a way to contribute back to the people and projects which deserve it. The point is not money; such a service can get funds. The point if FREEDOM.

[Dovecot] Real-time sync using dsync
by Nikolaos Milas 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

Hi, Can we use dsync to achieve *continuous* (real-time) sync between two servers (Mirror mode)? Running in such a "continuous" dsync mode, we would replicate two servers to one another continuously, so that the two would be concurrently available/accessible/useable (as POP3/IMAP servers), and getting synced in real time. Is this possible? (If yes, I think it would be much easier to setup such an architecture, rather that resorting to shared file systems, network-based storage etc.) Thanks, Nick

In Courier, we had 'INBOX.' namespace prefix and '.' as a separator. Now we have empty prefix and a '/' as a separator. So, the settings are as follows: namespace { location = maildir:/usr/mailsuite/data/%d/%n type = private separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } But I used the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script from Timo, as recommended. Where might be the traces of Courier (namespace settings etc.) remained? It seems that Courier and Dovecot use separate sets of files in user mailbox. Maybe, the migrate script expects the settings to be prefix = 'INBOX.' and separator = '.', what we don't want, so, we must modify the migrate script to change namespace settings when migrating? WBR, valery
