Email Server Backup Strategy
Hello, Was thinking it would be wise to backup my server, in case anything "bad" ever happened, so that I could quickly get up to speed. 1. clone the whole drive -- which might be the best to ensure I keep the whole system working. 2. But, what about, if I just wanted to backup my Email server components? Postfix - which I think is just config files, and Dovecot - I think there is a doveadm backup for doing such things. What do you guys do, recommend for backups?? Thanks -- https://www.little-beak.com "Doing what we can."
max number of connections per ip
I have been haunted by the following error message or months, that we
see using Thunderbird.
Unable to connect to your IMAP server.
You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server.
If so, use the Advanced IMAP Server Settings dialogue to reduce the
number of cached connections.
If I change my location, via a VPN, the error message goes away and I
can connect.
I have edited my /etc/dovcot/conf.d/20-imap.conf file by adding the
following:
protocol imap {
# Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global
mail_plugins).
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota
# Maximum number of IMAP connections allowed for a user from each IP
address.
# NOTE: The username is compared case-sensitively.
mail_max_userip_connections = 500
}
And, I still get the error message. I know myself, I have about 8-9
accounts, some with as many as 10 folders (I know each one count's as
it's own mailbox), as does my partner--who would access the internet
from my IP.
Does that number really have to be like 10,000, or something? If so, why
does it start out so small in the first place. If not, what else could I
do to avoid this message going forward??

Re: max number of connections per ip
It's not behind a proxy (unless the router is acting as a proxy?). Could
it be that my router is doing some Hairpin NAT tomfoolery? The router is
generic, so I run into that from time to time with my webserver.
I tried doveadm who, but didn't see anything too peculiar. There is the
expect half dozen or so users on common IPs.

Re: max number of connections per ip
Naturally, everything works fine if I use a VPN/translocation.

Re: [EXT] Re: max number of connections per ip
Ok. That is a nice command.
I am able to see connections. It doesn't seem remotely close to 500,
though.
If I understand things correctly, dovecot makes connections PER folder,
and keeps making more connections via IDLE (I am not entirely sure how
idle works, other than it keeps sockets open)?
For example, in my case, I have about a dozen users, which combined
equals around 80 folders.
If I am on an IP it is fine.
My partner, also has about a dozen different users, which combined, also
has about 70-80 folders.
If we are on the same IP, we can no longer connect.
1. Is this general understanding ok?
2. Am I supposed to set the limit like at 10,000? I mean, I am not
running anything other than a little private email server for some
family and friends. As soon as my partner and I are on the same IP, it
just ceases.
I see how if I check the doveadm who, periodically, I will have 2
propagations, and can imagine if my partner is there--yeah it's probably
breaking 500.

Re: [EXT] max number of connections per ip
Interesting, the line:
imap_client_workarounds = "delay-newmail"
I do not have. What does it do? The problem does seem to manifest itself
with initial logins.

dovecot.sieve shows up as a mailbox
Hello,
Config infos below.
Short version, I am getting this weird anomaly on my main email
account. Such that, "dovecot.sieve" is showing up as a mailbox in my
various email clients (e.g. k-9 (mobile), and Evolution).
I have tried deleting the "rogue folder" with doveadm, but it just
returns.
Anyone have any suggestions where I can track this down.

Send folder disappeared
Hello,
Dovecot 2.2.27
I have a strange issue, where my "Send" folder was absent in my
mailbox. It had been there before, fully functioning. Then, it was
gone.
I went into:
vi /etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf
And, noticed that my mailbox for Sent was no longer automatically
subscribed, so I changed it, and restarted dovecot.
> # For \Sent mailboxes there are two widely used names. We'll mark

> mailbox Sent {
> special_use = \Sent
> auto = subscribe
> }
> mailbox "Sent Messages" {
> special_use = \Sent
> }

Now, Sent shows up again, but email I send, doesn't show up in the sent
file?? The sent file is, and remains, empty.

Messages not saved to my "Sent" folder
Hello,
Using Dovecot 2.2.27
1. Had an issue where my Sent box, "disappeared." I used to be present,
but then it was just gone. I went in and changed the
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/15-mailboxes.conf
the auto=subscribe feature had disappeared, even though I had added
that line at setup. Below is the new changes.
# For \Sent mailboxes there are two widely used names. We'll mark both
of
# them as \Sent. User typically deletes one of them if duplicates are
created.
mailbox Sent {
special_use = \Sent
auto = subscribe
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
special_use = \Sent
}
}
2. But, mail is STILL not sent to SENT folder.
3. I have reload both postfix and dovecot, and also systemctl restart
postfix && systemctl restart dovecot.
The Sent folder is present, but no mail is stored to it.
4. Before sending this email, I checked my mobile client, and the Sent
file was full from previously sent email. When I "updated it"/repolled
it, it is now empty.
Any able to lend a helping hand?
Thanks.
Re: Send folder disappeared
Thank you Aki,
That was it. I would never have thought to look there in 100 years, so
asking helps=)
But, now it's all working. For some reason, my MUA had it's setting
changed such that all sent mail from all accounts was sent to the Local
, "On this computer/Sent" folder.
The day getting off to a good start!

Uh. Folders do not disappear itself, also they do not become
unsubscribed on their own. auto=subscribe makes permanent subscription
on create.
Are you sure you have not fumbled with your MUA?

dovecot ssl error message from my own connections
Hello all, Just a minor thing. Not a big deal, because everything works fine, and I feel secure with my setup. But, I get this error message pretty much throughout the day/night, which appears to come from my own mail clients (desktop or mobile). I would like to resolve it, because it must me something (that is not good--that I may not understand), that may have other ramifications. So, here it is. date time myserver dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL error: SSL_read() syscall failed: Connection reset by peer Anyone have a suggestion of what this might hint to, other than obvious SSL. I tried parsing through various logs, but the most I find is just this single line. I can produce it, whenever I close my email client. Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I will have a look. -Original Message- From: @lbutlr via dovecot Reply-to: "@lbutlr" To: Davide Marchi via dovecot Subject: Re: dovecot ssl error message from my own connections Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2019 06:28:06 -0600 On 30 Mar 2019, at 06:20, Esteban L via dovecot wrote: > date time myserver dovecot: imap-login: Debug: SSL error: SSL_read() > syscall failed: Connection reset by peer I don't get that particular message, but in general Debug messages are informational, not errors or warnings. Seems like the likely cause is you MUA is not closing out the session properly. Start looking for "dovecot.*Debug" in your logs and you're going to see a lot of lines (so many that i have them logged into a separate file).
