Email Server Backup Strategy
by Esteban L 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Hello, Was thinking it would be wise to backup my server, in case anything "bad" ever happened, so that I could quickly get up to speed. 1. clone the whole drive -- which might be the best to ensure I keep the whole system working. 2. But, what about, if I just wanted to backup my Email server components? Postfix - which I think is just config files, and Dovecot - I think there is a doveadm backup for doing such things. What do you guys do, recommend for backups?? Thanks -- https://www.little-beak.com "Doing what we can."

postmaster_address parameter scope
by mabi 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Hello, I was wondering when I define the following dovecot parameter: postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.com in my local.conf config file, does this parameter apply globally? I mean because it is not inside any {} curly braces does it also appliy to: protocol lmtp { ... } or do I need o explicitly define again my postmaster_address parameter inside protocol lmtp{} like this? protocol lmtp { postmaster_address = postmaster(a)mydomain.com } My very same question applies also for protocol lda {}... Regards, Mabi

Reload Dovecot with thousands of domains.
by Victor 10 Feb '20

10 Feb '20

Hello!, I have a dovecot server configured with about 3k different domains. It worked without problems until SSL certificates has been installed. After increase available RAM and stabilizing the service my current problem is in renewals. Dovecot reload process consumes a lot of memory for every one certificate renewal. The server has enough memory to support reload in most cases, but if server has certain load, reload process throws down the service. I’m using lets encrypt certificates and this process is automated. Is there any way to reload just one domain/session?

noreplicate for some users
by mail＠backprod.de 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Hi, I have set up the sync and it is working but I only would like to sync some users. Currently this does not seem to work. Version 2.3.9.2 Relevant Settings: File users: mail@domain.de:{SHA}hash:::t: passdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users } userdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users default_fields = uid=2222 gid=2222 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n userdb_noreplicate=t } After restart of dovecot I allways get all users with sudo doveadm replicator status "*" usernamepriority fast sync full sync success sync failed abuse(a)domain.net none 00:01:58 03:52:23 - y admin(a)domein.net none 00:01:58 03:52:23 - y abuse(a)domein.de none 00:01:58 07:51:00 - y What value needs to be set to get replication / no replication and to remove the users from the list? I have tried 0 / 1 / True / False / t / f / T / F but I don't see a change in behavior. Best regards Tim

auth-client via SSL?
by Heiko Schlittermann 05 Feb '20

05 Feb '20

Hello, does dovecot support tls-on-connect for AF INET based auth-client sockets? Rationale behind my question: Exim can use the Dovecot auth-client socket to delegate the SMTP-AUTH authentication to Dovecot. Currently Exim supports the AF UNIX only for this socket. Jeremy makes progress in extending this to use AF INET sockets too. While it works with clear text communication already, during testing I was to setup the auch-client socket as an TLS server (tls-on-connect). It doesn't seem to work as I'd expect. The socket still offers clear-text only. Here my configuration snippets regarding this socket ssl = yes ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/private/server.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/server.pem service auth { … unix_listener auth-client { group = _exim mode = 0660 } inet_listener auth-client { name = exim port = 4711 ssl = yes } } SSL connections to :993 work as expected.
