[Dovecot] Quota: Maildir and other files
by Michael Kliewe 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

Hi everybody, I'm currently working on the quota limits in dovecot, and Maildir quota is working fine, it reports the correct numbers. But our users also have additional space where they can put files, and I would like both to have the same quota of 2 GB. So mails + files should not exceed 2 GB. What is the best way to solve this? I already tried the following: - I put the files in /path/to/user/Maildir/Storage/ , where /path/to/ user/Maildir is the users mail directory. But obviously dovecot does not see that files and gives the wrong numbers. - I tried to use the fs quota backend ("Disk quota"), but I don't get it running, I always get an empty result: dovecot -n: plugin: quota: maildir:User quota quota_rule: *:storage=2G quota_rule2: *:messages=50000 quota_rule3: Trash:storage=10%% quota_rule4: Spam:storage=20%% quota2: fs:Disk quota quota2_rule: *:storage=2G quota2_rule2: *:messages=50000 TAG GETQUOTA "User quota" * QUOTA "User quota" (STORAGE 473178 2048000 MESSAGE 20693 50000) TAG OK Getquota completed. TAG GETQUOTA "Disk quota" * QUOTA "Disk quota" () TAG OK Getquota completed. I don't know why fs is not working. /path/to/user/Maildir is a simple local ext4 partition. In the future it will be a nfs share. Can you point me to a solution, so the user has a limit for both, mails and additional files? Where is the best way to place the additional files? Michael

[Dovecot] RFC 4468
by Erik Logtenberg 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

You know, I was thinking: wouldn't it be nice to have RFC 4468 (Message Submission BURL Extension) support in dovecot? Maybe we should ask the guys from Apple to contribute some support for it, I have a gut feeling they would gladly do so ;) Kind regards -- Erik.

Hi all, Does anybody know whether iPhone is supposed to be able to do IMAP IDLE? I know it does "Push" but that seems to be using Apple's Mobile Me and Exchange. Cheers, Sabahattin

[Dovecot] Sieve scripts
by Nick Lunt 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi I have a simple sieve script to discard email with a certain string in the subject. I now need to beef this up a bit with the following: if header :contains "subject" "A" and "B" and not "C" discard if header :contains "subject" "A" and "D" and not "C" discard else pass Maybe my google skills are failing but I can't find much info on creating sieve scripts. Can anyone point me in the right direction to achieve this please ?

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0 and QUOTA capability
by Frode Nordahl 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hello, In Dovecot 2.0 the QUOTA capability is not announced until after the user has logged in. This breaks quota-support in some webmail clients (Roundcube, Atmail, probably more). After searching the lists, I see that this was fixed as a bug back in 1.0, but I guess it crept back in. :-) 1.0.7: * OK Dovecot ready. . CAPABILITY * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS QUOTA STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN . OK Capability completed. 2.0: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. . capability * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN . OK Capability completed. -- Frode Nordahl
