The dict is also needed for quota lookup from the database. The only thing which might be omitted is the global quota_rule since it is returned by the userdb/passwd in any case, but I'm not sure what happens if you only configure a "quota_rule2" without configuring a "quota_rule". > My outstanding issue is whenever I as the root mysql user update a > user's quota the other user also gets an update, I noticed with one > the messages column on the other user went from 0 to 2, another time > the quota value went up from 0 to 3500 it seems random. You should not be accounting the actual mailbox usage in the same virtual_users table as the quota is read from. Use *different* column or table name in your dict file where dovecot may write the current storage/message count. > dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext > > map { > pattern = priv/quota/storage > table = virtual_users > username_field = user > value_field = quota value_field should be current_quota_storage (writable column) > } > map { > pattern = priv/quota/messages > table = virtual_users > username_field = user > value_field = quota_messages value_field should be current_quota_messages (writable column) > I'd like to know why these columns are updating. Dovecot stores the current storage and mailcount in there. These columns should be different from the columns defining the maximum limit. Regards Daniel

Hi list! I'm using Dovecot along with Postfix (with MySQL) and I'm having some curious error messages in the mail log. Everything runs normally and suddenly I start viewing messages like these: Oct 12 14:24:23 dovecot: last message repeated 5 times Oct 12 14:25:23 dovecot: last message repeated 6 times Oct 12 14:26:23 dovecot: last message repeated 6 times Oct 12 14:27:23 dovecot: last message repeated 6 times Oct 12 14:29:22 mail dovecot: imap(nicolas(a)devels.es): Error: fstat() failed with file /home/vmail/devels.es/nicolas/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory Oct 12 14:30:23 dovecot: last message repeated 5 times Oct 12 14:31:23 dovecot: last message repeated 6 times Oct 12 14:33:22 mail dovecot: imap(nicolas(a)devels.es): Error: fstat() failed with file /home/vmail/devels.es/nicolas/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory Oct 12 14:34:23 dovecot: last message repeated 5 times Oct 12 14:35:23 dovecot: last message repeated 6 times Oct 12 14:36:01 mail dovecot: imap(nicolas(a)devels.es): Error: fstat() failed with file /home/vmail/devels.es/nicolas/Maildir/dovecot.index.log: No such file or directory This file which Dovecot references to indeed exists, is accesible, etc. Once I get the first of these messages, the user stops receiving e-mails (the mail server keeps receiving them normally, though) until he restarts the mail client. Then the error msg is gone and he receives all their unreceived messages. This error appears in 6-12h. intervals once the user starts their client.

[Dovecot] still having difficulties with per-user quotas
by David Mehler 20 Oct '12

Hello, I am trying to get per-user quotas working. My thanks to all who have helped so far. To recap I am running Dovecot 2.1 and Mysql where I've got my virtual users. All virtual users are under the system user vmail with a UID and GID of 5000. Looking over the wiki docs I've added a quota table and got the dict service working, I am not having problems with permissions or the login username and password, all that is working fine. Here's my current doveconf -n output it is producing the following debug error related to the userdb sql query: # 2.1.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # XXX dict { quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } first_valid_gid = 5000 first_valid_uid = 5000 hostname = XXX last_valid_gid = 5000 last_valid_uid = 5000 mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n:LAYOUT=fs mail_plugins = " quota" namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } plugin { quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u } protocols = imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 127.0.0.1 ::1 } inet_listener imaps { address = xxx xxxx ssl = yes } } service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh user = vmail } ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/server.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/server.key userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext driver = sql } protocol imap { mail_plugins = " quota imap_quota" } Oct 19 15:23:52 auth-worker(29279): Info: mysql(/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock): Connected to database mail Oct 19 15:23:52 auth-worker(29279): Debug: sql(xxx,::1): query: SELECT user as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE user='xxx@domain'; Oct 19 15:23:52 auth: Debug: client passdb out: OK 1 user=xxx Oct 19 15:23:52 auth: Debug: master in: REQUEST 3523346433 29276 1 f5cd16e3f5e078c28d850749e42c86cc Oct 19 15:23:52 auth-worker(29279): Debug: sql(xxx,::1): SELECT concat('*:storage=', bytes, 'M') as quota_rule FROM quota WHERE username='xxx'; Oct 19 15:23:52 auth: Debug: master userdb out: USER 3523346433 xxx quota_rule=*:storage=368485M Oct 19 15:23:52 imap-login: Info: Login: user=<xxx>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=29282, secured, session=</xKpcW7MFgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> Oct 19 15:23:52 imap(xxx): Error: user xxx: Couldn't drop privileges: User is missing UID (see mail_uid setting) Oct 19 15:23:52 imap(xxx): Error: Internal error occurred.

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2 and TCP-Keepalive
by Sven Hartge 20 Oct '12

20 Oct '12

Hi! I am about to migrate a perdition-based IMAP/POP3 proxy to Dovecot. Unfortunately some users are behind a firewall/NAT setup which throws away seemingly idle TCP connections sooner than the established default of 24 hours (more likely after 30 minutes ...) resulting in all kinds of weird client behavior. And unfortunately² this firewall/NAT setup is outside of my control and I have no means of correcting this (in my opinion) flawed configuration. Now, with perdition I was able to use the --tcp_keepalive option which totally solved the mentioned weird client behavior. My question is: does Dovecot2 use TCP-Keepalive on its sockets per default or do I need to enable it some way I have not yet discovered? The manual and wiki only talk about "keepalive" in connection with the IMAP protocol and IDLE and my C-fu is too weak to understand the source code. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.

Hello, Can You explain to me how dovecot-lda knows actual size of virtual user directory?

[Dovecot] Question about salted hashes
by Tobias Maffert 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Hello. I'm switching from b1gmail to my own setup which consists of Postfix+Dovecot+MySQL (and maybe VBoxAdm). There are two problems: - b1gmail is using unsalted MD5 hashes. Is there any good way to make my new setup backward compatible? So I don't have to force all of my 50k users to change their password. - How do I change my setup to salted SHA256 (or an even better algorithm). And how do I make the hashes compatible between Postfix, Dovecot, MySQL (and maybe VBoxAdm)?

[Dovecot] Emails from invalid local accounts
by Steven Kiehl 19 Oct '12

19 Oct '12

Hi, I'm using dovecot 1.2.9 in a postfix/dovecot setup and I'm having issues with receiving spam where the "from" header contains an address like accounting(a)mydomain.com. Is there some way I can filter out these emails coming from outside our network with an account associated with our network which doesn't exist? Do I just need to configure some custom process to evaluate these addresses, or is there some way either in dovecot or spamassassin to do this? Thanks, Steve K
