[Dovecot] Quota email
by Peter Fraser 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hi All Just a quick question. Is it possible for the postmaster to get an email when a user goes over quota or is close to it? That is, aside for using the same script used to alert the user?

[Dovecot] defunct in 1.24 on FreeBSD Alphaserver
by Paweł Kaczor 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Hello, I've recently upgraded Dovecot from 1.1.16 to 1.2.4 on FreeSBD 6.3- RELEASE running on old Alphaserver 1200. Some time after this upgrade all user's MUAs showed error that user password was not accepted. I've noticed many zombies of imap and pop3 processes on my server (all in defunct state). Looks like when "login_max_processes_count" was reached, Dovecot canceled all new connections. I've setup completely new configuration based on http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation and no error was produced but every time I closed telnet the imap process became defunct. So, I tried to trace what was happening with ktrace: ktrace -d -f log -p pid_of_imap_process In attached file is a part of ktrace output at the moment when I close telnet connection. What is interesting (at last for me, but I'm lamer) is an error: 1576 imap 1256902587.568406 CALL close(0xffffffffffffffff) 1576 imap 1256902587.568448 RET close -1 errno 9 Bad file descriptor AFAIK, such error could be produced by inconsistent file system so I double checked OS and I'm 100% sure it's OK. At the very end of this history I had to switch back to 1.1.16 version of Dovecot which works OK now. I'll be very thankful if somebody could point me to explanation what can cause such strange behavior. Regards, Pawel Kaczor -- "A z kwiatków, jakie pan lubi najbardziej?

[Dovecot] IMAP goes down from time to time
by Juan Felipe Estrada 05 Nov '09

05 Nov '09

Good Morning I´m writing back cause the IMAP going down issue has changed a little, i still have the dovecot-1.0.7-7.el5 but with 2 changes; I added to the dovecot.conf the outlook-idle workaround, and the three login_processes parameters login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 3 login_max_processes_count = 128 Since I added this parameters the IMAP process has gone down just 1 time in 2 weeks, before this, the proccess was going down about 4 times a day so I think this is suitable, the next step i´ll take is to update the Dovecot.

[Dovecot] Why : dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 ?
by Koenraad Lelong 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hi all, I'm trying to activate sieve. In all tutorials I have seen I need to set dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 in Postfix's main.cf. Can anyone explain why ? I like to know because when I set this and the dovecot transport in Postfix, I'm having problems when aliasses are used that map to different recipients, i.e. info@... results in user1@..., user2@..., etc. The problems are an error from Postfix : Oct 30 09:25:19 lace3 postfix/pipe[19729]: 8A77E2D5B5B: to=<some.body(a)some.where.org>, relay=dovecot, delay=2390, delays=2390/0.04/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.5, status=deferred (mail system configuration error) Oct 30 09:25:19 lace3 postfix/pipe[19729]: warning: pipe flag `D' requires dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 Thanks for any info.

[Dovecot] X.509 certificate based IMAP login
by dovecotlist＠encambio.com 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hello list, The dovecot version is 1.2.6 running on Solaris x86 11 (nv-b91). The relevant configuration lines are: passdb ldap { # LDAP database (doc/wiki/AuthDatabase.LDAP.txt.) args = /pfx/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf } The file dovecot-ldap.conf is correct and LDAP authentication is working well. We would like to make it possible for users with a X.509 client certificate to log in without providing LDAP or any other credentials. Is there something like: passdb x509 { args = /pfx/etc/dovecot/dovecot-caroots.pem nopwd = yes } ...avaibable, or is there another solution? Thanks, Brian

by Bradley Giesbrecht 03 Nov '09

I'm using dovecot deliver with postfix. Is there a place to hook in a db update when an alias is hit? I'm wanting to delete aliases that haven't been used in x time. Thank you, Brad

[Dovecot] second fs quota root crashes
by Juergen Obermann 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hallo. In our dovecot 1.2.6 server running under Solaris 9 I would like to set up a second quota root because the mail folders are in the users home directories and the inboxes of all users are in /var/mail. As soon as I add quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail the imap client crashes repeatedly as soon as the user tries to open a mail folder. Thanks for any help.

[Dovecot] Author wanted for Dovecot article in Linux Magazine (Germany)
by Markus Feilner 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi list, I am an editor at the German Linux Magazine and I am searching for an author or input on Dovecot, its advantages and especially the recent features. I had organized some authors, but unfortunately they don't have time right now. :-) Nevertheless I heard many positive comments on Dovecot. I can write or help writing the article, but I would love to have some input from an experienced dovecot admin - perhaps with some stunning, unusual setup that might interest our readers (most of them are skilled admins and programmers...) Something that can't be easily done with other mail servers would be great, something spectacular that is suitable to convince an mail admin why he should migrate to Dovecot. It won't be long, just about 2-3 pages (a maximum of 15000 characters) including screen shots and/or listings, code, > 10 Links and an author's biography with photo. Anybody interested?

[Dovecot] Dovecot in-house benchmarking
by Joseba Torre 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, Before some major changes in our infrastructure, I was interested in the performance impact of moving indexes to our NAS (Emc Celerra v5.5). So I downloaded both dovecot-1.1.19 and dovecot-1.2.6, compiled them and wrote 2 confs for each of them, one with local indexes and another with indexes in the NAS. Then I created 19 pam users, and tested system performance this way: - uninstall current installed version - install a new version - start dovecot - for each user run: imaptest user=user pass=pass host=localhost port=143 mbox=${MBOX} seed=123 secs=300 | tail -1 > file - stop dovecot I'm not sure if these tests are real, but our results are: * In our conf, 1.1.19 and 1.2.6 performance are roughly the same * Moving the indexes to our NAS makes the system 3 times slower As we currently only have 1 system accessing mails or indexes, I tried later with nfs_* = no, and mmap_disable = no. This makes performance 10% better in any situation. Our testing setup (very close to the real one) - Dell PowerEdge 2850, 2 P4 Xeon 3GHz, 3GB RAM - RHEL 4.7 (not sure about this, the last RHEL4) 32 bits - mailboxes are always in a nfs filesystem - for testing mbox file I've used dovecot-cvs.mbox I've attached a couple of graphs to show this results (I've a lot of them, but result are pretty close from one to another). Also, dovecot -n output for 1.2.6 with indexes in the NAS. Only needed changes have been applied from one conf to another. If you feel that the benchmark can be more "real" with some changes, just tell me. Also, if you are interested in the rest of graphs or date, tell me. Next week I'll be quite busy, but as soon as possible I'll test with an iSCSI disk for indexes. Aaaaaaaaaaagur. -- Joseba Torre. Vicegerencia de TICs, área de Explotación

[Dovecot] How to see if sieve is active ?
by Koenraad Lelong 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hi, I think I activated sieve, but it's doing nothing. I know manage-sieve works so I made some rules. But they do nothing. I ran sieve-test, which seems to work, but does not move the mail I test. Is this how it works ? I thought the -e parameter just "tested" the rules and did nothing and my command was supposed to do the "real thing". I read there should be a log. I don't find this, how should I enable this ? I just found that lda can have a separate log. I'll enable this and see. I read the wiki-page different times, but I don't see what I'm doing wrong. I attached some files. Sieve-test.txt is the command and output from sieve-test. Phpscript.sieve is the file .dovecot.sieve points to, and dovecot-config is my dovecot config ;-). Thanks for any pointers.

Re: [Dovecot] Public Folder Quotas
by Anton Dollmaier 29 Oct '09

> OK thanks just one last query, would the quota rule be something like this? > quota_rule2 = Public*:storage=100M =========== namespace public { prefix = shared. separator = . (...) } dict { quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf } quota = dict:INBOX::proxy::quotadict quota2 = dict:shared:%d:ns=shared.:proxy::quotadict quota_rule = *:storage=50M:messages=1000 quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=50M:messages=100 quota2_rule = *:storage=100M:messages=1000 =========== this currently works - you must use the prefix of the namespace as parameter in the quota-definition.

[Dovecot] dovecot-shared and shared "\Seen" flags
by Dave 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

(Running Dovecot 1.1.0) Is it possible to either - (a) Still have shared "\Seen" flags even while using the dovecot-shared file or (b) Indicate to Dovecot in some way other than the dovecot-shared file which permissions to use for any messages created? The problem is, in my shared folder (using symlinks) scenario I am using, I have to use the dovecot-shared file to make sure new messages get written with the correct user and group permissions so that everyone appropriate can access them, but I still would like the functionality of the shared "\Seen" flags in these shared/symlinked folders (which having dovecot-shared seems to knock out). Is it possible to do both somehow? Dave

Option (a) sounds like the cleanest solution, but a bit of testing showed that Postfix doesn't wait on deliver before replying to DATA so this seems to always result in a bounce. I've perused the postfix documentation but so far no luck; if anyone reading this has any insight on how we might configure postfix to behave this way, could you please let me know (maybe offlist would be best, as this may be considered somewhat off-topic). We are using something similar to option (b) currently, but it's not really an elegant approach and we would really like to move away from it. Option (a) sounds great, if we can somehow get it to work. TIA, Marty

[Dovecot] Question about Windows Mail for Vista IMAP client
by Stewart Dean 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

When TBird logs on, it does it quietly, that is it opens one or two logins. When you start working it'll open a few more. Quiet, no thrashing around When WM4Vista opens, it appears to login and disconnect (immediately) once for every folder a person has. 20 folders, 20 logins and disconnect, ripple fire. Anybody have an idea why WM4V is so busy and TB is quiet doing the same thing? I fell over this doing testing on V1.2.6 but find it's also the case back on my production V1.1.15 -- ==== Once upon a time, the Internet was a friendly, neighbors-helping-neighbors small town, and no one locked their doors. Now it's like an apartment in Bed-Stuy: you need three heavy duty pick-proof locks, one of those braces that goes from the lock to the floor, and bars on the windows.... ==== Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sdean(a)bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035
