[Dovecot] dovecot-lda setting quota rules
by Lazy 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

Hi, in my setup dovecot-lda reads user and home from environment, and dosn't perform userdb lookup Jul 18 03:09:47 thebe2 dovecot: lda(lazytest_test): Debug: Effective uid=300, gid=300, home=/vmail/la/lazytest_test Jul 18 03:09:47 thebe2 dovecot: lda(lazytest_test): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= Jul 18 03:09:47 thebe2 dovecot: lda(lazytest_test): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=0 (95%) messages=0 reverse=no command=quota-warning 95 lazytest_test Jul 18 03:09:47 thebe2 dovecot: lda(lazytest_test): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=0 (80%) messages=0 reverse=no command=quota-warning 80 lazytest_test Jul 18 03:09:47 thebe2 dovecot: lda(lazytest_test): Debug: Namespace inbox: type=private, prefix=, sep=, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes l ocation=maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/dovecot_indexes/vmail/la/lazytest_test Jul 18 03:09:47 thebe2 dovecot: lda(lazytest_test): Debug: maildir++: root=/vmail/la/lazytest_test/Maildir, index=/var/dovecot_indexes/vmail/la/lazytest_tes t, control=, inbox=/vmail/la/lazytest_test/Maildir, alt= Jul 18 03:09:47 thebe2 dovecot: lda(lazytest_test): Debug: userdb lookup skipped, username taken from USER environment Jul 18 03:09:47 thebe2 dovecot: lda(lazytest_test): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= I wan't it to stay that way. The problem is that it dosn't update the quota rules in Maildir when quota is changed in userdb. I have the rules avaiable in qmail-lda's environment, but I need an idea on how to feed the quota rule string to quota plugin without doing userdb lookup. What whould be the best way to do this, maybe in plugins/quota/quota.c:quota_root_add_rules() ? Regards, Michal Grzedzicki

[Dovecot] BUG: LDAP extension failed to authenticate if 'base' DN configuration is empty ''
by Hendy Irawan 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Dear Dovecot developers, We have several context entries and want to authenticate a user against the whole LDAP server. However when setting "base = " Dovecot LDAP fails with following message: Jul 29 10:50:59 nitik1 dovecot: auth: Error: ldap(hendy(a)staging.member.berbatik.com,127.0.0.1): ldap_search((virtualMail=hendy(a)staging.member.berbatik.com)) failed: Other (e.g., implementation specific) error This limits the search to only one base DN, e.g. base = dc=staging,dc=berbatik,dc=com The ldap client library is able to search entries using an empty base DN, so it should be possible for Dovecot LDAP to do the same. An even more elegant solution will be the ability to specify multiple base DNs, but if Dovecot can search the "root DN" (empty string) it would be great. Thank you.

[Dovecot] mdbox with separate index location results in many emptydirectories
by Jürgen Obermann 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hallo, I use dovecot 2.1.7 with mdbox format and I specified a separate location for mailbox index files with mail_location = mdbox:/dovecot/storage%h:INDEX=/dovecot/index%h With this setting I get for every mailbox a directory under both filesystems /dovecot/index and /dovecot/storage, e.g. for the inbox it looks like that: # ls -lR /dovecot/index/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX /dovecot/storage/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX /dovecot/index/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX: total 49 -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 20480 Jul 20 11:12 dovecot.index.cache -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 1280 Jul 20 08:00 dovecot.index.log -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 301 Jul 19 16:45 dovecot.index.search -rw------- 1 myuser hrz 20 Jul 19 16:45 dovecot.index.search.uids /dovecot/storage/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX: total 3 drwx------ 2 myuser hrz 2 Jul 19 15:20 dbox-Mails /dovecot/storage/home/hrz/myuser/mailboxes/INBOX/dbox-Mails: total 0 As expected the index files now reside under /dovecot/index%h/mailboxes/, but the path /dovecot/storage%h/mailboxes/ also contains for every user and every mailbox name a directory which in turn contains only an empty subdirectory 'dbox-Mails'. These directories seem to me to sum up to a lot of unneded infrstructure objects. I tried to delete these empty directories, but dovecot did not like that and stopped to work. So somehow they are necessary, in spite of setting a separate index file location. So my question is, could these empty directories be avoided, perhaps in a future version?

[Dovecot] improve error messages with quotes

I propose to improve error messages but inserting quotes. I spent good time until I looked into source code to find right meaning of error message. I would like them in following format: namespace configuration error no 'hidden=no' namespaces

[Dovecot] Empty argument in "executable = script ..." service
by Florian Wagner 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, what is the point of adding an empty argument to the command called by the "executable = script ..." setting in a service? I guess that would be the call to array_append_space at line 57 in util/script.c. Background is that I'm trying to run bogofilter through the extprograms Pigeonhole plugin. So I've defined a service entry with a unix_listener and wondered why my test shell script works but bogofilter exits with a cryptic error. Turns out that this empty argument at the end trips up the bogofilter argument parsing code. If I manually call bogofilter with execv and add that empty argument I get the same cryptic error. Regards Florian

[Dovecot] Dovecot Director behaviour when two or more fail
by Dominic Malolepszy 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

Hi, On the Dovecot wiki here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Director it says the following: "The directors are going to connect to each others in a ring. For example if you have servers called A, B and C, director will create connections A->B, B->C and C->A" I am curious what happens in a scenario when two or more directors fail and potentially break a ring in half, do the active directors detect this and reform a new ring? Dominic
