[Dovecot] dovecot-lda setting quota rules
by Lazy 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

by Frank Bonnet 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

hello I see this message in the dovecot error log every time a user connect to IMAP service. imap(xxxxxxxx): Error: opendir(/user/xxxxxxxx/.imap) failed: No such file or directory In the server's config I've this mail_location = mbox:%h/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/spool/dovecot/index/%u As we can see INDEX files are not living in user's home directories but in /var/spool/dovecot/index/%u so why this error message ?

[Dovecot] Problem with preserving MIME format with Dovecot IMAP and MS Outlook client
by Peter Grimmond 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Hello all, Apologies for the repost, but I am really struggling to solve this problem... I have installed Dovecot 2.0.19 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have set up a very basic IMAP configuration. I have two different laptops running MS Outlook (one MacOS, one Windows 7) and I have configured both to connect to the Dovecot service. My problem is, emails in MIME format that I synchronise from one MS Outlook client are not being correctly decoded as MIME messages on the other client. Instead, the message is rendered in plaintext, starting with the lines: This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. --B_3426360453_22814Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="B_3426360453_4099" --B_3426360453_4099Content-type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Can anyone help me understand why this might be happening? The output from dovecot -n is: # 2.0.19: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae i686 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir passdb { driver = pam } protocols = " imap" ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } Thanks!

[Dovecot] Erroneous operation not permitted when deleting mailbox with mdbox
by Nikolai Schupbach 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

I'm seeing the following error in our logs when removing mailboxes (we are using mdbox and dovecot 2.1.8): Aug 1 20:03:36 msgsrv dovecot: imap(test(a)test.com): Error: stat(/mailstore/domains/test.com/test/mdbox/mailboxes/Spam) failed: Operation not permitted Aug 1 20:03:36 msgsrv dovecot: imap(test(a)test.com): Mailbox deleted: Spam When I run truss against the process it appears the error relates to attempted unlink of a directory, not a stat of it, as reported by the log. However the mailbox does appear to be deleted fine, so it appears to be an erroneous error. Here is the truss output from the "3 DELETE INBOX.Spam" IMAP command: gettimeofday({1343808204.962165 },0x0) = 0 (0x0) gettimeofday({1343808204.962351 },0x0) = 0 (0x0)

[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.
