[Dovecot] dovecot-auth requires userdb, but already configured
Greetings! My ultimate goal is to have fetchmail/getmail poll from POP3/IMAP servers and deliver mail into Dovecot mailboxes. This does not work because the Dovecot LDA for some reason fails. I believe I have narrowed down the problem to dovecot-auth not finding my userdb. But, I am able to connect to dovecot via IMAP in my MUA and preform operations (read, delete mail, create folders). This leads me to believe my userdb is setup correctly. Does anyone have any idea as to why dovecot-auth would not find my userdb? (Configuration is below).

[Dovecot] Dovecot,nfs or memory indexing

If you use a client that fetches the same data often (such as message headers/sizes) then Dovecot will do the same work for each request. In that case in-memory indexes perform poorly. This is more of a problem with webmail clients and less of a problem with Outlook/Thunderbird. If you're using POP3 that also performs poorly without indexes with v1.0. v1.1 makes it better. Other problem is that indexes created on nfs sometimes get crushed and I need to delete indexes in case of fetching mails ( I see mails on hd but when telnet on host and make stat I don't see any). So Dovecot says there are no mails while there are in fact? Does version 1.1.x correct this errors ? v1.1 makes NFS work a lot better, so it's highly recommended.

I guess it's because the users are not system users, and dovecot needs to retrieve info from the LDAP directory first. But how do I tell it to do that? You can't do that with --exec-mail.

Would it be acceptable if either dovecot itself or the init script
copies /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} into the chroot (unless it's already
there)?
Then it would also have to keep checking when they change and copy..
Another kind of a problem is that it just makes the master process
more complex again. I'd like this to wait until v2.0's master process
rewrite. Then there could be a separate non-chrooted process that does
tcpwrapper checks and perhaps some other checks.

[Dovecot] RFE: Disallow DELETE of non-empty MBOX
It looks like this is already the rule for maildir, where one can't remove the folder if any files or subdirectories are present. I'd like to get this option for mbox folders, as I'd like to prevent accidents where users accidentally delete large folders by clicking the wrong thing and then too-quickly approving the confirmation dialog that pops up. (Impatient upper level management tends to do this. ;)) BTW, I'm using Mulberry for my client, and it unfortunately puts Mark contents seen right next to Delete folder on the context menu. I'm aware of the issue so I tend to be extra careful when I finish with the folder associated with a busy mailing list and mark all the uninteresting messages seen.

I'd like to get this option for mbox folders, as I'd like to prevent accidents where users accidentally delete large folders by clicking the wrong thing and then too-quickly approving the confirmation dialog that pops up. (Impatient upper level management tends to do this. ;)) The problem is that I think this should be more of a per-client setting rather than a global setting. For example with Thunderbird (well, and non-mboxes) deleting the mailbox just renames it under Trash. Disallowing that would be annoying.

[Dovecot] Quota does not apply.
Hello list: I am try to run quota plugin but only works a part. The users are virtual and his homedir and mbox are in NFS server, INDEX files are in local disk.

But, if I configure a high global quota and a small quota for INBOX, sent a mail that is more big that quota for INBOX, then quota is not applied and the mail is delivered to INBOX.

+ Added a new maildirlock utility for write-locking Dovecot
Maildir.
Every time I attempt to use this (as root), it exits with a return code
of 143 and my shell prints out Terminated.
I'm guessing that what happens is a result of this:
/* locked - send a */
if (kill(parent_pid, SIGTERM) 0)
i_fatal(kill(parent, SIGTERM) failed: %m);
Any idea on how I can fix it?
Not really.. The parent PID should be the parent maildirlock process,
which also should have caught the TERM signal. You could see what happens
if you change all SIGTERMs to SIGHUPs for example. What shell do you
use? Try another one?
I use bash. I tried using CSH and it does the same thing.
I tried recompiling it after replacing all instances of SIGTERM with
SIGHUP, and instead of printing out Terminated, it prints out
Hangup (i.e. the same problem).
The issue, I think, is that maildirlock has a race condition. There is
no guarantee that the parent has set up its signal handlers before the
child gets around to killing it.
To demonstrate it, I modified the source to force the child to give
the parent some time, like this:
if (pid != 0) {
io_loop_run(ioloop);
if (!success)
return 1;
printf(%s, dec2str(pid));
return 0;
} else {
sleep(1);
}
And that fixed the problem. Now, telling the child to sleep is
obviously an unacceptable solution.
I think signals are probably a bad way of handling this inter-process
communication. How about using a pipe? I've attached a patch that
seems to work.

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot,nfs or memory indexing
Hi, Thanks for reply. 2008/8/4 Timo Sirainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Aug 4, 2008, at 9:42 AM, Sebastian Tymków wrote: Hi, I wonder if it's normal behaviour that indexes created in memory have long creation time. No, but the problem has more to do with caching. If you use a client that fetches the same data often (such as message headers/sizes) then Dovecot will do the same work for each request. In that case in-memory indexes perform poorly. This is more of a problem with webmail clients and less of a problem with Outlook/Thunderbird. And what about if I want use both solutions , memory indexing for POP3 and hd-indexing for webmail? Are there any disadventages ? If you're using POP3 that also performs poorly without indexes with v1.0. v1.1 makes it better. Other problem is that indexes created on nfs sometimes get crushed and I need to delete indexes in case of fetching mails ( I see mails on hd but when telnet on host and make stat I don't see any). So Dovecot says there are no mails while there are in fact? Yes. But when I delete indexes and they are recreated everything works fine. Is it possible that something goes wrong on NFS connection ? Does version 1.1.x correct this errors ? v1.1 makes NFS work a lot better, so it's highly recommended. Does it stable version ? Can I use it on production without any problems ? And what is better to use : nfs or memory indexing ? Can someone point me adventages and disadventages of using both solutions? Have you read http://wiki.dovecot.org/NFS ? Yes.

Yes, from a simple passwd-like file that contains something like:

In this case, Dovecot's deliver needs a
master socket to get user information from. See instructions at

I have adjusted my configuration so that a master auth socket is
created. I confirmed it's created, but the problem still persists.

[Dovecot] sieve multiple redirects
I got a sieve script like this: redirect [EMAIL PROTECTED]; redirect [EMAIL PROTECTED]; keep; It seems to redirect the mail to the 1st user but not the 2nd. Any idea? From what I can tell, that is a valid sieve script. I am using an earlier RC version of dovecot - 1.1.rc4, going to be upgrading soon. There are also a few errors. I assume /home/orders is not needed? Also, does Dovecot go through Global Sieve script and then per-user script? It appears that the global script is not even used if the per-user script exists - anyway to change that so both are parsed in order?

[Dovecot] doveot reporting No space left on device - yet df show plenty of space / inodes.
Hi, I am running dovecot 1.0.rc7 on a Suse Linux server. The server has approx 200+ mailboxes. Last week the filesystem (/dev/mapper/datavg/dat2lv) ran out of space - causing it to do into read-only mode. When I realised this I allocated some more space and re-booted the machine... Strangely it seems that dovecot is still having problems... It's like dovecot doesn't realise that there is enough space on the file system. Also - it only is happening to a few users at this stage - not all users are having problems sending/receiving emails...

You should probably find deliver's error log file. See

Delivery error (command deliver 32064 error (78, ))

78 means EX_CONFIG. If deliver got called, it should have logged the actual
