Dovecot quota via custom column
by Filip Bartmann 08 Nov '14

08 Nov '14

Hello, we have multiple domains connected to single user account and we want to have quota counted via this column - called account_id. Users are stored in mysql database. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iterate_query = SELECT email AS user FROM mailboxes user_query=SELECT email, 501 AS uid, 501 AS gid, CONCAT('*:storage=',quota,'M') AS quota_rule FROM mailboxes AS m WHERE email='%u' password_query=SELECT email AS user, pw_hash AS password, CONCAT('*:storage=',quota,'M') AS userdb_quota_rule FROM mailboxes AS e WHERE email='%u' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have quota stored in dovecot dictionary and as usable variables we found only - http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables. Is there any way to do use account_id as quota username? Thanks, Filip Bartmann

Hi, Ok managed to solve this with the permissions on the socket. One related question, the quota units are only Kb,M,G ? not possible to define it in bytes? > -----Original Message----- > From: dovecot [mailto:dovecot-bounces@dovecot.org] On Behalf Of Jorge > Bastos > Sent: sábado, 8 de Novembro de 2014 14:22 > To: 'Dovecot Mailing List' > Subject: Help on dict with QUOTA / perms > > I'm setting up quota for my users, my users have a UID starting on > >5000 and GID = 5000, and when I query the quota, for example in IMAP, > I get: > > > > Nov 8 14:13:28 fastmail dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<a(a)a.com>, > method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=18660, secured, > session=<uByciFkH2gB/AAAB> > > Nov 8 14:13:37 fastmail dovecot: imap(a(a)a.com): Error: > net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/dict) failed: Permission denied > (euid=5000(<unknown>) egid=5000(<unknown>) missing +r perm: > /var/run/dovecot/dict, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) > > > > Question is, should I have the GID on the users set to 0, or is there > another way to workaround it? > > > > Thanks,

Help on dict with QUOTA / perms
by Jorge Bastos 08 Nov '14

I'm setting up quota for my users, my users have a UID starting on >5000 and GID = 5000, and when I query the quota, for example in IMAP, I get: Nov 8 14:13:28 fastmail dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<a(a)a.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, mpid=18660, secured, session=<uByciFkH2gB/AAAB> Nov 8 14:13:37 fastmail dovecot: imap(a(a)a.com): Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/dict) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(<unknown>) egid=5000(<unknown>) missing +r perm: /var/run/dovecot/dict, dir owned by 0:0 mode=0755) Question is, should I have the GID on the users set to 0, or is there another way to workaround it? Thanks,

Virtual alias with dovecot
by Jorge Bastos 08 Nov '14

08 Nov '14

Hi, I've setup virtual alias/users/domains with postfix and dovecot, so far so good. In the alias table I set the information of the source and destination address, but then I try to send an email to the alias, dovecot complains about it. What am I doing wrong? Nov 7 23:04:13 fastmail dovecot: lmtp(4687): Connect from local Nov 7 23:04:13 fastmail postfix/lmtp[6556]: 1D2AC100E0A: to=<b(a)a.com>, relay=fastmail.domain.pt[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=6.3, delays=6.2/0/0/0.06, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host fastmail.domain.pt[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <b(a)a.com> User doesn't exist: b(a)a.com (in reply to RCPT TO command)) Nov 7 23:04:13 fastmail dovecot: lmtp(4687): Disconnect from local: Successful quit Postfix alias conf: virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf cat mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf user = posuser password = popass hosts = 127.0.0.1 dbname = postfix query = SELECT deliver_to FROM dovecot_aliases WHERE alias='%s' where the table structure is: CREATE TABLE `dovecot_aliases` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL, `alias` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `deliver_to` varchar(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC; Records are, considering that the main address is a(a)a.com: Insert into dovecot_alias values (1,'b(a)a.com','a(a)a.com'); Should be postfix that should had send this to the main address right? What could be wrong? SQL Logs for this, show's that dovecot considered the alias to check if the users exists instead of the real address: 141107 23:18:12 45 Connect postfix_usr@localhost on postfix 45 Query SELECT deliver_to FROM dovecot_aliases WHERE alias='ola.pt' 46 Connect postfix_usr@localhost on postfix 46 Query SELECT 1 FROM dovecot_domains WHERE domain='ola.pt' and status='true' 141107 23:18:16 45 Query SELECT deliver_to FROM dovecot_aliases WHERE alias='a.com' 46 Query SELECT 1 FROM dovecot_domains WHERE domain='a.com' and status='true' 47 Connect postfix_usr@localhost on postfix 47 Query SELECT deliver_to FROM dovecot_aliases WHERE alias='b(a)a.com' 141107 23:18:22 45 Query SELECT deliver_to FROM dovecot_aliases WHERE alias='a.com' 46 Query SELECT 1 FROM dovecot_domains WHERE domain='a.com' and status='true' 48 Connect postfix_usr(a)192.168.69.223 on postfix 48 Query select uid,gid from dovecot_users where username='b(a)a.com' 49 Connect postfix_usr@localhost on postfix 49 Query SELECT deliver_to FROM dovecot_aliases WHERE alias='ola(a)ola.pt' 49 Query SELECT deliver_to FROM dovecot_aliases WHERE alias='@ola.pt' 45 Query SELECT deliver_to FROM dovecot_aliases WHERE alias='ola.pt' 46 Query SELECT 1 FROM dovecot_domains WHERE domain='ola.pt' and status='true' PS: offtopic, don't understand why postfix queries the sender domain in the domains table and the sender email in the alias table. Thanks in advanced, Jorge,

mail location change results in various errors
by Cliff Hayes 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

I have a sendmail/dovecot imap/pop3 system that has been running with the following mail_location: mail_location = mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/indexes/%u In order to reduce errors and simplify operation I removed imap and am now only responding to pop3.

Dovecot replication causing deleted emails to reappear
by Asai 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

Greetings, I've set up replication successfully on two Dovecot servers. I had fully synced the servers but then took one offline for 2 weeks. When I restored it, the servers synced but ended up replacing deleted emails in random people's inboxes. I'm using maildir. Does anyone have any insights as to correcting this issue? Asai -- --Asai

Dovecot-lda permission errors or maybe authentication errors?
by Robert Kryger 06 Nov '14

06 Nov '14

I am a new dovecot user who recently transitioned my old mailserver to a new CentOS/Postfix/Dovecot system. I am running a simple configuration with about a dozen system users and Maildir folders. The e-mail setup seems to be running fine when I use the default local-delivery-agent in Postfix. However, I am trying to use the dovecot-lda instead so I can take advantage of the sieve functionality. I have tried to specify the dovecot-lda in two ways. First, in the /etc/postfix/main.cf file: mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT" or alternatively, I leave the mailbox_command blank and specify the following in the .forward file of a test user: | "/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda" Either approach gives me the same error(s). When a mail message is sent to the test user USER1, the following errors appear in the dovecot-lda error file: Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: chdir(/home/user1/) failed: Permission denied (euid=524(user1) egid=524(user1) stat() failed: No such file or directory, euid is not dir owner) Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: chdir(/home/user1) failed: Permission denied Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: user user1: Initialization failed: Namespace 'INBOX.': stat(/home/user1/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=524(user1) egid=524(user1) stat() failed: No such file or directory, euid is not dir owner) Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: chdir(/home/user1/) failed: Permission denied (euid=524(user1) egid=524(user1) stat() failed: No such file or directory, euid is not dir owner) Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: chdir(/home/user1) failed: Permission denied Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Error: user user1: Initialization failed: Namespace 'INBOX.': stat(/home/user1/Maildir) failed: Permission denied (euid=524(user1) egid=524(user1) stat() failed: No such file or directory, euid is not dir owner) Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. At first, I interpreted this to mean the file permissions were not set correctly on the home directory or the Maildir folder. However, I have opened these up to full rwx access for everyone and I still get the same errors. Alternatively, perhaps this is related somehow to the dovecot-lda authentication process via the password or user databases, but I can't make any sense of the documentation. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong or how to better diagnose? For reference, I am running dovecot version 2.0.9. The dovecot-lda process also outputs the following messages (not errors) when a test message is sent to the USER1 account: Nov 04 08:47:29 lda: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot Nov 04 08:47:29 lda: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib90_sieve_plugin.so Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: Effective uid=524, gid=524, home=/home/user1 Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/user1/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/user1/Maildir Nov 04 08:47:29 lda: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib64/dovecot Nov 04 08:47:29 lda: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib64/dovecot/lib90_sieve_plugin.so Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: Effective uid=524, gid=524, home=/home/user1 Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:~/Maildir Nov 04 08:47:29 lda(user1): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/user1/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/user1/Maildir The output of dovecot -n is: # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final) auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login disable_plaintext_auth = no login_trusted_networks = 71.xx.xx.xx 71.xx.xx.xy 71.xx.xx.xz 71.xx.xx.yx mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = . } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_global_dir = home/sieve sieve_max_script_size = 1M } protocols = imap lmtp sieve service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } protocol lda { info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda-errors.log mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = postmaster(a)xxxxxxx.com }
