FTS solr or xapian and Public Folders
by David Williams 13 May '22

13 May '22

Hi all I hope someone can help with this. I'm looking at setting up FTS on a Dovecot server which has some quite big pubic folders (100,000+ emails each) and would appreciate some info about how fts both Xapian and Solr works with public folders. As background of the folders can receive emails and I use a dummy user and an alias file to deliver them for example testfolder: dummy+Public/MYTESTFOLDER(a)example.com delivers email addressed to testfolder(a)example.com to MYTESTFOLDER in the namespace Public. Has anyone successfully setup FTS with public folders using either Xapian or Solr and what happens when one user changes a folder, does that change show up for other users? E.G.: When an email is delivered by dummy and indexed will that email be indexed for other users as well? Similarly what happens that when an email is moved between, deleted from or copied to public folders by one user will that change then show up for the other users or not? I guess the basic question is: Are public folders indexed once and then the indexes are made available to each user with access or are they indexed for each user? Any info or experience that anyone has will be appreciated. Many thanks David

no full syncs after upgrading to dovecot 2.3.18
by Arnaud Abélard 12 May '22

12 May '22

Hello, I am working on replicating a server (and adding compression on the other side) and since I had "Error: dsync I/O has stalled, no activity for 600 seconds (version not received)" errors I upgraded both source and destination server with the latest 2.3 version (2.3.18). While before the upgrade all the 15 replication connections were busy after upgrading dovecot replicator dsync-status shows that most of the time nothing is being replicated at all. I can see some brief replications that last, but 99,9% of the time nothing is happening at all. I have a replication_full_sync_interval of 12 hours but I have thousands of users with their last full sync over 90 hours ago. "doveadm replicator status" also shows that i have over 35,000 queued full resync requests, but no sync, high or low queued requests so why aren't the full requests occuring? There are no errors in the logs. Thanks, Arnaud -- Arnaud Abélard Responsable pôle Système et Stockage Service Infrastructures DSIN Université de Nantes -

dovecot + sieve: message recovery possible after rule pointed to invalid mailbox?
by Charles Gresham 09 May '22

09 May '22

Hi all, we face the following situation: 1, Customer created a mailbox (aka subfolder) "ABC" and setup a Pigeonhole Sieve script to file the messages into it. So fine, so good. All seemed to work out well. 2. Customer renamed the mailbox to, let's say, "CDE" and did not change the Sieve script accordingly. 3. We noticed this from a ~/.dovecot.sieve.log (after getting a complaint that messages were not arriving properly anymore :-o ): " sieve: info: started log at Apr 28 07:41:11. error: msgid=<433788c81ea044c4ae49cb39a6f673f3(a)ALB-DC-EXC08.CLPL.INTERN>: failed to store into mailbox 'ABC': Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. [2022-04-28 07:41:10]. " Does anybody in this list know if all these messages went to /dev/null - or else? If the latter: where/can we restore the messages? Which "server log" is meant in this error message? I couldn't find the information needed by going through https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/ <https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/#> but I wonder if all the messages end in digital nirvana if a user sieve script points to non-existing mailboxes? Thanks for any hint. Greetings, C.
