Thank you. One thing that still doesn't work is subscribing to all
mailboxes via "*", I guess because the folder names start with "." but
dovecot mailbbox subscribe wants it without a starting "." Any clues how
that can be solved?

Found it !

Looks like the user account was missing the mail directory.

fail2ban will implement.

Now Outlook 2010 reporting repeated mail.  Is this  a similar issue with 
OL2003?

Put this in a cron script:

That will perform a search through every mailbox on the system,
indexing as it goes.  The search query is unlikely to return much in
the way of results, so log files won't fill up much.

That actually doesn't work for me.  "doveadm index ..." does, though.


Use whatever works for you.  The problem (for me) with "doveadm index"
is it only works with the specified mailboxes.  It can be done for all
users - but only designated mailboxes.  So a "doveadm index -A INBOX"
will scan all inboxes - but none of the other folders.  The search
command I showed performs a recursive search that hits everything.

I take it back; I'm not sure if "doveadm search" causes re-indexing.
However, I *know* issuing a search command from a Python IMAP library
doesn't do so.



That indicates something else is broken - unless my Dovecot 
understanding is totally off (which is always possible, even likely).  
To my knowledge, until the relatively recent support for the "doveadm 
index" command, the primary and indeed only way to index was to perform 
a search.  When Dovecot receives a search request, whether passed by 
IMAP or through the doveadm backdoor, if the mailbox isn't current then 
any new mails are supposed to be added to the index in the course of the 
search.  If that doesn't happen - then I think something is broken in 
your setup.

what acl you like to set over pop3 ?

usually acl at dovecot means folder permissions in imap

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL

if you mean
what to do against brute force

use i.e fail2ban

Port 100 is unassigned. Are you using it for POP3?

If Dovecot is not listening on port 110 there is nothing it can do about
people trying to connect to that port. Perhaps you want to simply block
it in your firewall?

The only obvious thing I can see wrong there is that you have

mail_plugins = " sieve"

in dovecot.conf, which should be

mail_plugins = sieve

but I don't know that that would prevent delivery.

Is Postfix deferring the message, or does it think it's been delivered?
What do you see in your logs when a message is delivered (since you've
redirected Dovecot away from syslog, you'd need to look at both
Postfix's and Dovecot's logs)?

What happens if you feed a message to dovecot-lda manually, as
'mailman'? Check the exitcode of lda and the logs, as well as seeing if
the message was delivered.

Since you've set up a dedicated transport for Dovecot, it would probably
be worth using LMTP instead of the LDA. It should be more efficient, and
since you're only using a single virtual user you can tell dovecot to
run the LMTP server as 'mailman' instead of root.

[Dovecot] fs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) AGAIN

[Ken Mandelberg]

We are running Dovecot 2.0.12. It runs on only one server and /var/mail 
is local where all the INBOX's are stored. Users other IMAP folders are 
NFS mounted on the server.


We see frequent

Error: nfs_flush_file_handle_cache_dir: rmdir(/var/mail) failed: Device busy

I know this error message has been around a long time. Should we still 
be seeing it on 2.0.12 with a local /var/mail. Perhaps the message is 
misleading and really complaining about folders other than INBOX that 
are NFS mounted.



Our config has

dovecot.conf:mail_nfs_index = no
dovecot.conf:mail_nfs_storage = yes

is that correct given the above?

Also, does the flush error messages have any real consequences? My 
understanding is that the rmdir is meant to fail, just to force a flush.

[Dovecot] upgrade 1.0.15 -> 2.1.7: MBOX index compatibility and performance

[Benoit Branciard]

Hi,

we just upgraded our mailserver from Dovecot 1.0.15 to Dovecot 2.1.7.

We use MBOX format (due to legacy compatibility), system users, 
PAM+GSSAPI auth, filesystem quotas, and indexes located on a separate 
filesystem:


mail_location = 
mbox:~/mail:INBOX=~/mail/INBOX:INDEX=/var/cache/dovecot/indexes/%16Hu/%u


The 2.1.7 configuration files have been rewritten based on default 
templates instead of converting it from 1.0.15.


The server has ~8000 mailboxes and about ~2000 simultaneous IMAP/POP 
active connexions.


The problem is:

- indexes seem to be rebuilt: first IMAP/POP connexion for each user 
thows lots of error messages in the log, and the global index size 
decreases.


Example error log:
Nov 19 08:56:38 myhost dovecot: imap(myuser): Error: Cached message size

- load average is extremely high (more than 10x the usual one), 
resulting from an significant increase of disk I/O, and for now (4h 
after the "monday rush") this doesn't seem to decrease.



Questions:

- are 1.05 indexes supposed to be backward compatible with Dovecot 2.1.7 ?
- are there some technical reasons which could explain the increase of 
disk I/O, apart from index rebuild ?

Sven, I believe subscription have been lost while converting from cyrus to
dovecot, and I understand that I should use the commands shown by Daniel to
subscribe this folders one time server side, and my problems should be
solved no matter which clients I use (I put lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes
already):

doveadm mailbox subscribe -u u...@example.com "*"

One more question: Should the user for "-u" be the system user the
mailboxes belong to or has the user to be written in form of an email
adress (user@localhost / u...@n.dyndns.org)?

Re: [Dovecot] Initial status notification not received

[Nicolas KOWALSKI]

Hello,

Has anybody some suggestions about the problem below?

I see in the archives 
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/67077) that someone 
also has (had?) this problem; a cronjob workaround was used, but no 
dovecot solution was given.

Thanks,
Nicolas
