[Dovecot] Dovecot Failover
Hello, Assuming we have two (low traffic) servers (on different data centers) replicated using dsync, what is the best way to automatically direct users to the main server when it is up and to the redundant one when the main server is down? Using DNS? I've seen that DNS-based failover has generally issues (for example: http://serverfault.com/questions/60553/why-is-dns-failover-not-recommended, which is informative although it refers to web servers). What is the suggested approach? HAProxy? Heartbeat/Pacemaker? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks and regards, Nick
Re: [Dovecot] IMAP monitoring
From: pvsuja I want to get some statistics of dovecot IMAP server like the number of current IMAP connections, who is logged in to the Dovecot server, doveadm who bandwidth usage. You can sort of get that from the logs. For example, from my logs Apr 18 23:08:19 server dovecot: imap(user): Disconnected: Logged out in=9516 out=89038 telling you how many bytes tranferred in and out during the session. Is there any utility which does this sort of full monitoring? I tried doveadm who to get the details of logged in users. but its not returning any output even though i am logged in to the server. "doveadm who" ought to work. What does it return? Joseph Tam

In all honesty with this setup, I would recommend that you setup a sales@domain alias account and put these 4 accounts within that alias. Each user would then get a single copy of the message, and would prevent accidental deletion by another user.

If you comment out the address in inet_listener, it does use the global listen setting. I don't know why you can't connect at all then. Either the global listen setting is wrong or there's a bug in code that parses it.
Re: [Dovecot] listen directive changed?
So what is the point of the global?
I commented out the address in inet_listener, assuming it then will
use global, but no, cant connect at all then.
Should for clarification, should we not use global entry and rely on
inet_listener?
Or should there be a change so inet_listener pulls its addresses from
global if no address is provided in inet_listener statements
it seems at present to be two competing options.

If you override the imap+pop3 inet_listener, then yes it overrides the default

[Dovecot] Slooow imap copy to "Sent" folders
Hello Many users here use the "copy to Sent folder" using the IMAP protocol with Dovecot 2.1.15 on a FresBSD 9 server. Since few days this operation ( copy to sent folder ) became longer than before , it could takes several seconds to complete even the message is very short. Is there a parameter I could tweak to boost this a bit ? may users complain with reason thank you

It's a new server which requires a new MUA configuration, folder subscriptions, etc. Any mail sorting or other folder based MUA rules will have to be rewritten regardless. So the namespace hierarchy shouldn't really matter from a technical standpoint. What matters is if your family members are able and, more importantly, willing, to adapt to a new namespace layout. > And if I do need (or want) to put all the folders under INBOX, can > I simply rename the existing folders in each user's Maildir (and > also edit folder names accordingly in everyone's "subscriptions" > file)?

I don't think your directory renaming method will work, at least not in isolation. I think you'll still need to tweak your Dovecot namespace config. -- Stan
