events

2015-10-21 Thread Frederik Bosch | Genkgo 

Hello,

We want to trigger a script after certain actions by the user (event). 
This script inserts the action into message queue (e.g. Rabbit MQ) 
accompanied with some data. Then one or more workers picks up the action 
from the message queue and do something with it. The question is: how 
can I trigger the script from dovecot?


An action/event should at least emitted when moving an e-mail message. 
The amount of data in the event is unknown. My current goal I would like 
to at least know the sender and receiver address and the type of action 
(e.g. move). But I can imagine, when having an event driven application, 
that others might even want the complete e-mail message to be in data.


Is such an event driven system possible? When looking at current 
features of Dovecot: it would the same as the mail_log feature, but 
instead of writing to a file, one should able to write to a script or 
socket. Ideally the format of the event would JSON, XML or another data 
format.


Regards,
Frederik

Current version: Dovecot 2.2.16.

Dsync only indexes

Hello,

We are using dbox and we would like to put indexes on a separate storage,
our actual setup have indexes on the same storage has the messages.

Is there a way to only synchronise the indexes to easily change our setup ?

migration from zimbra to dovecot

2015-10-21 Thread micah 

Hello,

Are there any migration scripts to handle UID conversion for moving from
a zimbra setup to dovecot? It would be nice to move all the mail without
having re-download it all!

thanks!

This is precisely what the new push-notification plugin is for (2.2.19). 
 (You will need to write a driver to interact with your notification 
handler, similar to the "dlog" or "ox" drivers.)
