The NFS clients w/Dovecot are currently running Linux 2.6.16 with Trond
Myklebust's Linux-2.6.16-NFS_ALL.dif applied (see
http://client.linux-nfs.org/).  This combo has been stable for months.
And yes, we use fcntl locking, and mount noac,actimeo=0.

Dovecot delivery

Hi.

Does the dovecot deliver helper program now support maildirs? Are there plans 
to support this?

That won't work. From rc8 release announcement (or NEWS file):

         * "mbox:/var/mail/%u" no longer works as the mail location.  
You'll
           have to specify the mail root explicitly, just like the  
examples
           always have: "mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u"

ie. Dovecot no longer does guessing.

I have the same problem with dovecot rc10 and Thunderbird 1.0.5.7. Apart
from changing the users settings to delete messages immediately has
anyone found a solution to this problem?

quota question

.. maybe a silly one, but how does the user get notified when he is over 
quota? Did not find anything in the docs. Is there a general IMAP way to 
do this or what else ?

Real and Virtual Users + Domains

I have seen a few suggestions on how to address the issue of a system
employing both real and virtual users and domains. Is there any
definitive solution as to how this should be accomplished? The system I
am construction will have several hundred users, both real and virtual,
and probably seven domains. I plan on using MySQL to handle the user
names and passwords.
