I use a sliding window of time to determine what to backup, so maildir
fs and database changes don't matter to me. Files can move, be deleted,
whatever. Doesn't matter.
I can't use tar's incremental backups because mail has the potential to
move around. That and the basename of the file has th
I found the problem in Dovecot. It was an illusion that Thunderbird
works. Where in Outlook there are certain emails that stop
synchronization, Thunderbird continues but without loading the specific

I manage IT for a small office with about 10 workstations. Dovecot has
been installed for years and is now at 2.3.4.1-5 (Debian). I just
discovered that the user cannot see many emails in the inbox. I was
alerted when email was not appearing to be coming in for many hours.

I have user database in ldap (samba). I want to use fail2ban to restrict
unsuccessful login attempts, but... I cannot see "Authentication failure"
message in ANY log. (/var/log/mail.log shows successful logins as well as
disconnects.)
How should I proceed?

1. I am more concerned about the integrity of the backup, so locking maildir and database changes during the process. I accidentally replied to aki only, but after compiling maildirlock myself it works.
2. For the backup I use rsync, to minimize the time of the lock being active. Althogh your s
Hi All
Has there been any progress with this issue please?
I am also seeing the problem, users with a "redirect "xx";" in their
.dovecot.sieve file are seeing some emails bouncing:
Aug 2 23:21:29 ocean dovecot: lmtp(xxx)<45389>: sieve:
msgid=unspecified: redirect action: forwarded to

Ok, I got it working with LAYOUT=index
* I am using SQL so the mail_location was being taken from there instead
of the config, hence it was ignoring the config line
* BROKENCHAR still doesn’t work even when added to SQL
* I let dovecot auto create the home directories of user
Hmm, am I doing something wrong ? It seems everything I try doesn’t work:
a select "B/2"
a NO [CANNOT] Invalid mailbox name: Name must not have '/' characters (0.001 +
0.000 secs).
a create "B/2"
a NO [CANNOT] Invalid mailbox name: Name must not have '/' characters (0.001 +
0.000 secs).
You could test this out first on your test deployment. index layout is pretty permissive as it uses guids instead of names on disk.

Like this ?
mail_location = maildir:/ssd_bkp/ingestmail/mail/%n@%d:BROKENCHAR=_
still throws the same error
I could try migrating to a new layout but will it fix the issue ? I already
imported about 250GB of data which I assume I have to throw away and start over
?
Is this a bug i
You could try adding :BROKENCHAR=^
to mail location, or you could migrate to LAYOUT=index.
