Just a followup to my previous post. I appears that a pipe for quota
queries via dict is not supported right now. Because of the way we group
things we need more flexibility. I'd like to propose that dovecot should
support quota queries just like userdb dict queries.

I have a question about using dict and quotas. I want dovecot to send
quota queries to a custom dict server over a socket. I'm doing this
because I can't do group quotas based on domain since a customer can
have each of their users associated with different domains under a
single account. I
I'm getting orphaned processes on our mail servers. Some machines has

thought it would be good to report the issue.

It hit another dsync snag. We have a script that executes a dsync
backup command to a remote host. No write should be happening on the
remote host (the backup host). The error is:

I ran a rsync on the mailboxes that I was having issues with. I re-ran
rsync until I had a full sync with no further updates. Then I ran a
dsync. dsync was able to run without issue.
If I wipe out the target directory and re-run dsync, I'm back to dsync
getting stuck. Running rsync

More dsync issues. We were running 2.1.7 and we updated to 2.1.9. Same
problem with both versions.
I'm getting an error 75 on about 40 boxes out of 1800. It is the same
list of boxes every time we use 'dsync backup' to backup the server.
dsync seems to stop communicating to the bac
Rerunning the dsync command right after the timeout (see previous
message) gave me these errors:

Hi all,
I'm using dsync for backups. I recently upgraded to 2.1.7 due to issues
with dsync mirror/backups. 2.1.7 fixed the issue with the guid conflict,
but now I'm seeing this error on a couple of mailboxes:
Error: proxy client timed out (waiting for output stream to flush, 0
bytes left)

This tried to write to /root for some reason and failed (dovecot

I looked around the 'Net to see if there might be a custom program for
offline Maildir to mdbox conversion. So far I haven't turned up
anything. The problem for us is that the dsync program simply takes a
lot of time to convert mailboxes. I wonder if time could be saved with a
program that

That didn't seem to make much of a difference. On a 3.1GB backup it
shaved off 5 seconds. dsync's time was over 6 minutes with or without

Hi all,
We are currently using snapshots and rsync to backup a large
mail server to a backup mail server. I have been looking into using
dsync to replace rsync in hopes that it would make backups more
efficient. I decided to test the performance using a single mailbox.
Unfortunately dsync s
