[Dovecot] New mailbox & autocreate
by Bambero 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi, First of all BIG THANKS for great piece of software. I have a small problem with autocreate. My mails are stored in: /var/mail Ex. /var/mail/test(a)test.pl/Maildir Account information comes from DB. So when new account appears in DB full path including home dir is created. But there is one small problem: Group always is "wheel". Autocreating ignores gid from DB and uses the group of the parent directory - in this case /var/mail. But when I create home dir manualy (setting right group) group of autocreated Maildir is OK. Is it possible to configure dovecot to set group from DB. Regards, Bambero

[Dovecot] Error: dict: Leaked a t_pop() call
by Brendan McCollam 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

I'm running dovecot 1.0.7 on CentOS 5.5, and I've configured it to work with PostfixAdmin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/) Everything seems to work great, except for one problem. Any time a user logs in, I get errors like the following Jun 19 02:21:59 ve dovecot: dict: Leaked a t_pop() call in I/O handler (nil) Jun 19 02:21:59 ve dovecot: dict: Raw backtrace: dict [0x40e85e] -> dict [0x40e5cc] -> dict(io_loop_handler_run+0x1c9) [0x411279] -> dict(io_loop_run+0x18) [0x4106b8] -> dict(main+0x139) [0x408509] -> /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x2ab19ec13994] -> dict[0x407589] The only information I could find online was from this mailing list a few years back: http://copilotco.com/mail-archives/dovecot.2007/msg08975.html The response seems to be "nobody keeps their quota in MySQL", but the setup I'm using is what's recommended by the authors of PostfixAdmin: http://postfixadmin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/postfixadmin/trunk/DOCUMENTS… So, I guess my questions are these: 1) Is this error at all serious? Will it impact performance, or can it be safely ignored? 2) If it is something that should be addressed, do you think I would be better off trying to patch and recompile the 1.0.7 version, or just upgrading to a newer version of Dovecot (keeping in mind that 1.0.7 seems to be the latest available in CentOS repositories) Thank you for your time, and your outstanding software. -Brendan

Thanks for the information. I'm not trying to waste your time, and I wasn't really asking for 'help' per se, as much as simply a clear answer about whether that error was even worth worrying about. I'm well aware that 1.0.7 is a pretty old release, and you don't have much control over what the distro maintainers choose to package. Generally speaking, I think there are advantages (not introducing incompatibility with other software, simple dependency resolution, automatic security updates, etc.) to sticking with repo versions, unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise. In this case, the bugfixes and improvements in quota accuracy are a good reason to upgrade. > > Please download 1.2.12, the current stable release, however read the > release notes because some settings will be incompatible with 1.0.x. > there wont be too many differences but might be some, depending on your > setup. I have moved to 1.2.12 and updated my dovecot-dict-quota.conf file, and it seems to be working great. Thanks again.

[Dovecot] .dotfiles in Maildirs appear in folderlisting - dovecot 2.0

Hi, I've some dot-files in the Maildir/ folder. These files appear in the Mailbox listing, but of course they can't be accessed. In the previous dovecot versions these files were hidden. Matthias

[Dovecot] confused with %d/%n not working....
by William Ottley 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi all, I'm trying to link in my "online" community of users, via mysql, with my mailserver. I have dovecot 1.0.7. I am using mysql to authenticate, and I'm trying to figure out what I should be doing to my sql query that checks the username which has a username field and a database field. everything works, as long as the username is "u%@d%" in the field, but to work with my other web application, the username is in one field, and the database is in another. can anyone make a suggestion as to how i can do the user_query to work this way? (both with dovecot and the postfix) any help would be greatly appreciated! dovecot: connect = host=localhost dbname=pplsnet user=xxxx password=xxxxxxx password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' user_query = SELECT '/var/vmail/%d/%n' as home, 'maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n' as mail, 150 AS uid, 12 AS gid, concat('dirsize:storage=',quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username ='%u' AND active ='1' postfix: user = mail password = xxxx hosts = localhost dbname = mail table = mailbox select_field = CONCAT(domain,'/',maildir) where_field = username additional_conditions = and active = '1'
