dovecot support?

check whether dovecot scripts are in your server


ls /scripts|grep dovecot

You can use those scripts to convert to dovecot.

 

Hello,

I've got theses scripts :

builddovecotconf
convert2dovecot
dovecot_converter

But am not sure which one(s) to use ... Maybe I should wait for the next cpanel release !

 

i would wait until cpanel addresses it officially

they said they were shooting to have it fully supported for 11.24, current release tree is 11.23

 

Hi Kenneth,

2 quick questions if you don't mind:

1. In regards to cPanel, are the dovecot and nsd implementations designed to completely phase out courier and bind? If so, is there any approximate idea of when? Will these changes be forced, or will customers have the option of converting to either of those 2 packages indefinitely?

2. What other major changes will be taking place in 11.24 in terms of new software being introduced (either to replace existing software, or as an enhancement to cPanel servers)? I've only heard about dovecot and nsd through these forums, and seen a little about dovecot on changelog.cpanel.net.

Thanks for your input.

 

Thanks very much for the detailed response! My main concerns were about being blind sided with something new (to some of us anyway and what preparation would need to be done in advance on our end in terms of educating ourselves. I applaud vendors who don't force drastic changes on their users, and to date cPanel hasn't ever really done anything like that that I can remember (mbox -> Maildir doesn't count due to the minimal amount of time it took to get familiar with how Maildir worked on cPanel servers). Your response has made any concerns I had completely vanish about as quickly as they appeared. Thanks again.

 

I have switch on dovecot.
Has made
/scripts/upcp
/scripts/convert2dovecot

After that problems have begun. Users complain that cannot receive mail. I see much zombi processes dovecot. In log:
Logins with UID 0 not permitted

How I can back return on courier?

Thanks.

 

i migrated but now all the pop3 accounts are not being looged in

 

I did that...i'm watting for a reply

 

As Ken stated, please submit a support ticket about issues encountered when using Dovecot.

 

WHM 11.23.2 cPanel 11.23.6-S27225
CENTOS Enterprise 4.7 i686 on xen - WHM X v3.1.0

I converted a very high end vps on dovecot, and now i see that dovecot-auth is taking too much cpu. Killing dovecot, reduces the load.

Is there something i missed here ? I thought dovecot reduced cpu/memory usage because of the way it functioned. I have been using dovecot for several years now on non cpanel servers with mailboxes in range of 1-5GB, and dovecot doesn't cause any load on those servers.

 

Please provide the ticket ID number for this issue so I can have someone take a look at this.
