[Dovecot] Benchmark: Appending 250k messages
by Timo Sirainen 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

I just changed Dovecot v1.1 code to work much more nicely when appending new messages to large mailboxes. Dovecot hg (cydir format, fsync_disable=yes): ./imaptest secs=1 ./imaptest - append=100,0 logout=0 msgs=10000000 clients=1 seed=1 secs=300 Logi Sele Appe 100% 100% 100% 1 1 2322 1/ 1 0 0 1998 1/ 1 0 0 2293 1/ 1 0 0 2009 1/ 1 0 0 1789 1/ 1 0 0 1245 1/ 1 0 0 43 1/ 1 0 0 32 1/ 1 0 0 881 1/ 1 0 0 2137 1/ 1 .. 0 0 704 1/ 1 0 0 771 1/ 1 0 0 388 1/ 1 0 0 831 1/ 1 0 0 572 1/ 1 0 0 766 1/ 1 Totals: 1 1 251397 Averaging 837/sec. The append speed jumps around quite a lot. Typically it's around 800-1000/sec, but it jumps between 0-500/sec also quite often. I'm not sure why that is. Cyrus v2.3.8 (fsync and fdatasync calls disabled from code): ./imaptest - append=100,0 logout=0 msgs=10000000 clients=1 seed=1 secs=300 Logi Sele Appe 100% 100% 100% 1 1 2587 1/ 1 0 0 1907 1/ 1 0 0 1597 1/ 1 0 0 1260 1/ 1 0 0 1220 1/ 1 0 0 1151 1/ 1 0 0 1068 1/ 1 .. 0 0 121 1/ 1 0 0 127 1/ 1 0 0 128 1/ 1 0 0 126 1/ 1 Totals: 1 1 79613 Averaging 265/sec. The speed slows down pretty consistently, there's no jumping like with Dovecot.

[Dovecot] Disable IMAP for certain users, but not Webmailer
by FORMER 03 | Baltasar Cevc 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi everybody, I'm planning to set up our new mail system using the Dovecot mailbox server. It mostly works fine yet (it's quite straigt forward to set up, I'd say), but there's a thing I haven't been able to find out yet. We provide POP3 access for all users, but want to restrict IMAP access to some of them (because IMAP users tend to leave more messages on the server, thus increasing storage needs). I used to do it by providing two services. One provided the public imap and checked a database flag during authentication, the other just provided IMAP on localhost and did not check the "allowed to use IMAP" flag. What I've found for Dovecot is http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/RestrictAccess While this allows me to provide full POP3 to everybody and in the same time restricting IMAP, I don't see a possibility Is there any possibility to achieve what I need without having two completely separated instances of Dovecot running? I'd appreciate any hints, pointers to documents etc. Thanx, Baltasar -- _____ FORMER 03 GmbH _____ infanteriestra§e 19 haus 6 eg _____ 80797 muenchen _____ baltasar.cevc(a)former03.de _____ www.former03.de _____ fon 089.322112.29 _____ fax 089.322112.11 _____ mobil 0178.691.2233 _____ geschftsfhrer _____ sebastian fiedler _____ gert zellentin _____ handelsregister _____ HRB Mnchen 148468 _____ steuer _____ ust.-id DE 2291076876

[Dovecot] dovecot.index.cache weirdness
by Tan Shao Yi 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi Timo, Just a quick check, may I know if the following output of idxview is normal? (see bottom of e-mail) I am running dovecot-1.0.3 on a Solaris 10 SPARC box. Deleting dovecot.index.cache does not seem to help for this user; it keeps getting regenerated with these same lines. I seems that I have to set mmap_disable=yes on this box to have a "clean-looking" dovecot.index.cache. Is it mmap related? Or it just happens to be a coincidence? Cheers, Tan Shao Yi /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/idxview dovecot.index dovecot.index.cache (... normal looking stuff ...)

[Dovecot] Some of my IMAP Folders vanished in some MUAs
by Dominik Schulz 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

Hi, I'm using dovecot for some time now. Previously I was using Courier and I've migrated this setup to dovecot which went pretty fine. Now I'm experiencing some strange behaviour when using some newer mail clients. Some of my Folders, like "spam", are vanished. The strange point is that it only happens in some clients, like Thunderbird 2.x+ or KMail 3.5.x. In others, like Thunderbird < 2, Mutt or my Webmailer (Horde) they still show up. These folders are still there, i.e. in the filesystem, and the permissions seem to match those of the other folders which can be seem in all MUAs. I don't know if this is even related to dovecot but I think this is where I should start looking for an solution. I'm using dovecot 1.0.rc15 from Debian (stable/etch). It'd be great if anyone was able to help me. Thanks in advance. Best Regrads Dominik Schulz

[Dovecot] Password Encryption
by Dave Morrow 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

Hi all. I hope this is not a RTFM-type question, but I've been unable to find a searchable archive of this mailing list....... I recently began investigating using Dovecot/Postfix/MySQL solution. I've been following the documentation http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL?highlight=%28m ysql%29 While everything seems to have gone right, I have been unable to successfully login to the IMAP server using Outlook Express. It seems that the problem may relate to PostfixAdmin storing passwords in the mysql database md5 encrypted, and Dovecot is not able to read them, but I am not certain. The error when a client logs in is something like dovecot: auth-worker(default): plain_md5_verify(testuser1(a)mydomain.com): Invalid password encoding David Morrow Technical Systems Lead Autodata Solutions Company David.Morrow(a)Autodata.net <mailto:David.Morrow@Autodata.net> http://www.autodatasolutions.com <http://www.autodatasolutions.com/> Tel: (519) 963-3020 Fax: (519) 451-6615 Think slowly.

[Dovecot] modify header in deliver
by Reinhard Hainz 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

hi, is it possible to modify the mail-header (subject) within the deliver process (maybe by a lda-plugin)? I have tried to write a simple plugin for this, but I cannot find a way to modify the mail befor writing it to the mailbox.
