Moving from one Dovecot server to another Dovecot server
by Michael 28 Aug '14

28 Aug '14

Hi, I'm planning to move all mailboxes from a Dovecot 2.2.10 server to a Dovecot 2.2.9 server. Dovecot is serving virtual users only. I'm not sure if I can use dsync for that. According to the Wiki [1] the command to mirror my own mailbox should look like dsync -u mine(a)michi.su mirror ssh -i my_ssh_key vmail(a)my-mailserver.com dsync -u mine(a)michi.su Where vmail is the user that is used by Dovecot to access mail_location. I assume the above command will only mirror the mailbox of user mine(a)michi.su, right? Is it possible to sync all mailboxes with just one single command? Is it possible to sync also all ACL lists and sieve scripts? Is using dsync the right way for my purpose? Thanks, Michael [1] http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Dsync

Panic at virtual folder fts-search-serialize.c

Hi all, I'm using dovecot 2.2.13 with virtual folders and fts-solr (see attached dovecot-n.conf).

LMTP and passdb deny=yes not working
by Jogi Hofmüller 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi all, I start this on in a new thread. I setup the deny-user setting to temporarily prevent users from logging in and (that would be great) also stop mail delivery for said user. All this is because of our upcoming migration. Now it seems that lmtp is ignoring this setting. This is from the logfile: Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: lmtp(pid): Connect from IP Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: auth: passwd-file(fischer,IP): User found from deny passdb Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: lmtp(pid, fischer): 2UErAGzR9VMBPQAAGyzfLQ: sieve: msgid=unspecified: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Aug 21 13:01:00 klee dovecot: lmtp(pid): Disconnect from 172.16.16.205: Successful quit So lmtp seems to find the user and correctly states the fact but then stores the email anyhow. Is this intended or did I hit a bug? Or do I have an error in my config? Cheers, -- j.hofmüller mur.sat -- a space art project http://sat.mur.at/

multiple IMAP sessions when connecting from one client
by Martin Vegter 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hello, I am using Postfix/Dovecot/IMAP. Everything is working fine, but I have noticed that every time I connect with Thunderbird to my server via IMAP, not one but 4 connections are being logged into /var/log/mail/mail.log: 2014-08-27 09:17:46 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12519, TLS, session=<uyb/N5cB+gBUDFRB> 2014-08-27 09:17:53 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12521, TLS, session=<jioqN5cB/ABUDFRB> 2014-08-27 09:17:53 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12523, TLS, session=<pqwwN5cB/QBUDFRB> 2014-08-27 09:17:54 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<martin>, method=PLAIN, rip=11.22.33.44, lip=55.66.77.88, mpid=12525, TLS, session=<cffremmc/gBUDFRB> This looks like 4 separate sessions are created when I log in from one client. Is this normal behavior? Can somebody please explain why this is so? My Dovecot version is 2.1.7 regards, Martin

LMTP during dsync migration
by Jogi Hofmüller 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi all, Another question regarding migration. While migrating a mailbox with dsync is it safe to deliver mail via LMTP to the new (target) mailbox or is it wiser to deactivate LMTP delivery to this mailbox until it's fully migrated? And what methods could I use to stop delivery to a mailbox during migration? Our user data is stored on an LDAP server. Cheers, -- j.hofmüller http://thesix.mur.at/
