[Dovecot] lmtp_rcpt_check_quota not working

Hi, Dovecot 2.2.9 (Debian package from backports) does not seem to respect lmtp_rcpt_check_quota # 2.2.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 7.4 deliver_log_format = from=<%e>, size=%p, message-id=<%m>, status=%$ disable_plaintext_auth = no lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes mail_debug = yes mail_gid = mstore mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/cache/dovecot/index/%-1.1u/%u mail_plugins = quota mail_uid = mstore 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 ihave mmap_disable = yes namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = INBOX. separator = . type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } plugin { quota = maildir quota_rule = ?:storage=512M quota_rule2 = INBOX.Trash:ignore quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 452 4.2.2 Mailbox is full quota_status_success = DUNNO quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=85%% quota-warning 85 %u sieve = ~/currently-active-script.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } pop3_uidl_format = %08Xv%08Xu protocols = imap lmtp sieve pop3 quota_full_tempfail = yes service anvil { client_limit = 3000 unix_listener anvil { group = sudo mode = 0660 } } service auth { client_limit = 3000 unix_listener auth-userdb { group = mstore mode = 0660 user = mstore } } service imap-login { client_limit = 1024 inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 ssl = yes } process_limit = 2500 process_min_avail = 4 service_count = 0 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = xxx port = 24 } } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 2000 } service_count = 1 } service managesieve { process_limit = 1024 } service pop3-login { inet_listener pop3 { port = 110 } inet_listener pop3s { port = 995 ssl = yes } } service quota-status { client_limit = 5 executable = quota-status -p postfix inet_listener { address = xxx port = 12340 } } service quota-warning { executable = script /etc/dovecot/quotawarnmsg.sh unix_listener quota-warning { user = mstore } user = mstore } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = prefetch } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota imap_zlib } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota sieve } protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota sieve } so Dovecot should reject in RCPT TO phase, but according to the logs of the upstream Postfix it does so after END-OF-DATA (host xxx[2001:xxx] said: 452 4.2.2 <user(a)domain.de> Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) (in reply to end of DATA command)) I haven't seen any commits regarding to this in 2.2.10 or tip.

Let lmtp create target directories
by martin f krafft 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

Hello, we're using vmm¹ to manage our postfix+dovecot virtual mail setup, which allows us to give every virtual user a separate EUID and every domain a separate EGID for additional security (vs. handling all virtual mail with a single "vmail" user). As a consequence, however, vmm must itself create the user directories with the appropriate owners, and to do so, it requires root rights. I am trying to investigate getting rid of this need³. Since Dovecot quite happily creates ~/Maildir when necessary, couldn't it also create parents? The home directory should be trivial (same EUID/EGID), but grandparents etc. might need a different policy (e.g. 0/EGID for the grandparent, 0/0 for great-grandparents, etc.). Is this something that could fall within the realm of Dovecot's lmtp? Or is the lmtp invoked as the user and doesn't actually drop root? If so, might there be another way? ¹) http://vmm.localdomain.org/² ²) Hallo Pascal ³) http://bugs.debian.org/804382 Thanks, -- @martinkrafft | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." -- antoine de saint-exupéry spamtraps: madduck.bogus(a)madduck.net

Sieve, shared folders, different daemons
by Frido Otten 01 Dec '15

01 Dec '15

Hi, In our dovecot setup we use 3 different config files. One for maildropping(sieve), one for dovecot/imap on standard ports with ssl config and one for dovecot/imap on standard ports+1 with a different ssl certificate. Currently the client using the standard port+1 config wants to make use of shared folders, but the thing is that the current namespace separator in all configs is '.'. This is conflicting with shared folders. Can we simply run one of the dovecot/imap daemons configured with a different separator and shared folders without having impact on sieve and the current connected users to the standard ports? Regards, Frido

How to delete "proxy" attribute in passdb lookup?
by Peer Heinlein 29 Nov '15

29 Nov '15

Hi, I have a complicated SQL backend with stored procedures to generate passdb/userdb queries. This result have the proxy-attribute set and it's very complicated to change that procedures. On one system I tried to override/delete the proxy attribute: passdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext override_fields = proxy=n } Looks like that doesn't work. "proxy" is always set. doveadm auth lookup username passdb: username user : username host : mailserver proxy hostip : xx.xx.xx.xx Is there any way to override/delete an existing true/false attribute like "proxy"?

Connection between postfix and dovecot failing
by Sytse Kuijk 29 Nov '15

29 Nov '15

Hi all, Hope someone has been here and done that before. I am running a Mac mini with OSX server version 10.5, that is on El Capitan, but the problem I have started on Yosemite (the previous version) and did not change at all in the upgrade (I had hoped it would have solved itself). As you might know, OSX server uses postfix and dovecot as mailing engines, good choice. Since we suffered a short power outage a little over a week ago, the mail has failed in delivering messages to the local mailboxes. We can send mail out, check the mailboxes (they never change right now),etc. but incoming mail was first just not delivered and after a week warning are sent back to the senders, telling there is a temporary problem (hope that this message is right and I can solve the issue). What seems to go wrong is that postfix cannot connect to the local MTA. The error message that appears in several places is: recipient=ann.cools(a)surikata.be offset=769 dsn_orig_rcpt=rfc822;ann.cools(a)surikata.be status=4.4.1 action=delayed reason=delivery temporarily suspended: connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused I find all sorts of explanations and cures, but none work up to now. I tried to find lock files that might be blocking, deleted some files ending in lck with zero size, with no result. I tried to switch off the spam/virus/junk features, no difference (some mail said that messages in the queue will not get through, but new ones would. Not so, not a single message up to now). I also get alerts in the Server application, warning that: An unassigned mail directory has been detected and is scheduled to be deleted. The unassigned mail directory located in: /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/702C16A8-6B2D-42D8-9362-659DD2949AFC is not associated with any user account and is scheduled to be deleted in 1 days. In the mean time no mail, and unfortunately, we need it badly. Any suggestions? Million thanks for your kind support. sytse -- ------------------------------------------ - Sytse Kuijk - ___ - R.S.R. n.v. - o|o - Gijzelaarsstraat 16 - \_____(.)_____/ - 2000 Antwerpen - - GSM: +32 468 20 00 00 - ___ - Phone: +32 3 216 4328 - o|o - E-mail: sytse(a)pobox.com <mailto:sytse@pobox.com> - \_____(.)_____/ ------------------------------------------ iThink therefore iMac

Well, post fix tries, but cannot connect. Sounds to me like problem at the receiving side. In any case, one question would be: is amavis part of dovecot or of postfix? sytse -- ------------------------------------------ - Sytse Kuijk - ___ - R.S.R. n.v. - o|o - Gijzelaarsstraat 16 - \_____(.)_____/ - 2000 Antwerpen - - GSM: +32 468 20 00 00 - ___ - Phone: +32 3 216 4328 - o|o - E-mail: sytse(a)pobox.com - \_____(.)_____/ ------------------------------------------ iThink therefore iMac > On 28 nov. 2015, at 22:24, Edgar Pettifogging <edgar(a)pettijohn-web.com> wrote: > > This should probably move to postfix list.
