Re: [Dovecot] Backing Up
Hello all. I read al this tread and still wondering - what FS best to use to manage up to 1,5Tb of maildir spool and make a near to real time back up of it? Firstly i plan to make it all on FreeBSD with UFS2 and use rsync, but I never rsync such much of space and files. If using solaris best is ZFS - but i don`t have any experience on this OS. What Linux can provide for this task? -- Best reagrds, Proskurin Kirill
[Dovecot] pam_dovecotpw anybody?
Samba has pam_smbpass which is a PAM module that hooks into password changing, and changes the users' samba password (presumably used for NTLM auth?), when the users change their ordinary unix/linux password. http://gitweb.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=tree;f=source3/pam_smbpass;h=c230a1b239719ae28271010e69fbbc759e935a57;hb=HEAD It shouldn't bee too hard to take the code from here, combine it with dovecotpw and create a PAM module that changes the dovecot password in a way that can be used for cram-md5. Ideally it should read the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (whereever it is), and find the path of the passwd-file and use that. Has anyone else looked into doing something like this?

Hi, i use maildir format, its no problem to backup big maildirs with rsync, at backup i see no real relation with with filessystem until you use a modern one ( i.e. ext3... ), perhaps you might use nfs or gfs for redundancy solutions after all this type of backing up ( tar , rsync, i.e by cron ) is only a snapshot ( maybe ok on your side ), but i.e you may use always_bcc i.e with postfix or imapsync etc choosing zfs maybe is the right choice anyway i ve read much good about it, but i dont see what it might helpfull at backup -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] How do I use plus-addressing in Dovecot 1.1.x?
I'm using Postfix, Amavisd-new/SpamAssassin, and Dovecot. They all run on the same server (running Linux). The mailboxes are stored on the same server in maildir format. The logical path for incoming messages (as I understand it) is: 1) received by Postfix; handed off to Amavisd-new 2) Amavisd-new checks to see whether or not it's spam/undesirable; hands off to Dovecot deliver 3) Dovecot deliver delivers the message to the local mailbox Under each of my user's mailbox is a submailbox called spam. Just so I don't confuse terminologies (I'm no IMAP/maildir expert), for example, we have [EMAIL PROTECTED] My configured mail_location is maildir:/srv/mail/%d/%n, so this person's mailbox is located here: / srv/mail/domain.com/someone/ Within this directory is another mailbox: /srv/mail/domain.com/someone/.spam/ The plan is to have Dovecot deliver send a message (which has been labeled by Amavisd-new as spam) directly to the .spam submailbox, instead of the INBOX (/srv/mail/domain.com/someone/). With Dovecot 1.0.x, I used plus addressing. Amavisd-new was configured so that, if a message was found to be spam, it delivered the message to Dovecot deliver, but changed the delivery address. Now, instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] , it was [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Dovecot deliver took this message and delivered it correctly to the .spam submailbox (/srv/mail/ domain.com/someone/.spam/). Just to emphasize, this process does work (using Dovecot 1.0.x). With Dovecot 1.1.0, this process is broken. Now, spam messages are delivered to the INBOX instead, and, when checking the dovecot- deliver.log, I'm seeing save failed to spam: Unknown namespace. As best as I can tell, the answer seems to lie in namespaces as a feature added in Dovecot 1.1.0. The problem is that I don't understand how I could use them to resolve this situation. I've read the documentation. I've looked at as many example configurations as I could find. Please help. I want to get this working again. I'm sure it's something very straight-forward, but I don't understand. How must I change my Dovecot 1.1.x configuration so that my plus addressing set up (detailed above) will work again? Or is there a better way? Thanks so much for your help, and thanks for a great product! - Jon
[Dovecot] Issue with domains
I am running Dovecot 1.0.10 and have it working great on ender.ath.cx (my free DynDNS.com subdomain), but recently I registered lemcoe.com and pointed it to the same IP address as ender.ath.cx. The problem is, only e-mail sent to the @ender.ath.cx works. If it is send it to @lemcoe.com, I don't know where it goes. I get no errors either. How can I get Dovecot to recognize both domains? TIA. David
Re: [Dovecot] Issue with domains
What are you using as your MTA (i.e., which server is listening for the incoming SMTP message)? Postfix? Sendmail? Have you checked for errors at this level? - Jon On Nov 2, 2008, at 1:34 PM, David M Lemcoe Jr. wrote: I am running Dovecot 1.0.10 and have it working great on ender.ath.cx (my free DynDNS.com subdomain), but recently I registered lemcoe.com and pointed it to the same IP address as ender.ath.cx.

Dovecot is not the problem here. When you send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the sending MTA sends email to the MX server of lemcoe.com. Only in the case of an absent MX record will the MTA try delivering directly to lemcoe.com (i.e. the host itself, rather than its MX record). % dig +short MX lemcoe.com 10 mail.lemcoe.com. % host ender.ath.cx ender.ath.cx has address 76.240.25.136 % host mail.lemcoe.com mail.lemcoe.com has address 67.19.72.202 As you can see, the host that handles mail for lemcoe.com != 76.240.25.136. -- Sahil Tandon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Dovecot] Issue with domains
Does the log show that the incoming messages are actually received? If not, it sounds like you're missing an MX record in DNS. If you are seeing the message come in, what does the log say it did with it? - Jon On Nov 2, 2008, at 1:45 PM, mailing wrote: I am using Postfix and /var/logs/mail.log does not have any errors when sending to lemcoe.com Thanks for quick response.

Re: [Dovecot] Issue with domains
It's not clear from your response that you understand why it's failing. It would seem clear that postfix doesn't see this as a local domain. Instead, it thinks you're trying to relay to somewhere else. Check your virtual_mailbox_domains file (or database) and make sure it has an entry for the new domain. Good luck! - Jon On Nov 2, 2008, at 2:30 PM, David M Lemcoe Jr. wrote: I just found out that /var/logs IS showing something.
