[Dovecot] Maildir++ quota - how to handle a full mailbox
by Joseph W. Breu 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Hello all, We are using Horde/IMP and we are having problems deleting messages from accounts where the user is very close to going over quota. My test environment includes: Horde 3 IMP 4.1.2 dovecot 1.0rc2 postfix maildrop I created a user and set the quota at 13MB. I then sent a 10MB file to the user - which was received. However, when I attempt to move the message from the INBOX to Trash, I get a Quota Exceeded error. Is this more of an IMP error than a dovecot quirk? Is the message size credited back to the quota after the message has been removed from the INBOX? Is there any way to change the order that the qouta usage is applied? -- Thanks, --------------------------------------------------------- Joseph W.

[Dovecot] MySQL table for use with dict et quota
by mikael 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

In your "http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict" documentation, the table to create is : create table quota ( path varchar(255) not null primary key, username varchar(255) not null, current integer ); "path" field is the primary key. But when i see the SELECT queries, "path" is always used ('quota/storage') and username too. I don't understand... If "path" is the primary key, it must be unique in quota table ? Perhaps the table would be like this : create table quota ( path varchar(255) not null, username varchar(255) not null, current integer, primary key (path, username) ); No ? I start to have a headache... :D 2 days with dovecot quota, and no fully working results :'( Please, help me :) -- Mikaël

[Dovecot] POP does not seem to be working
by Gerard 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

OK, I am brand new to this so please bear with me. I have an FreeBSD 6.1 STABLE system. Postfix is installed with qpopper. The mailboxes are standard mbox format. I just installed Dovecot. At some point I want to update to a mdir format, etc., but quite frankly I do not know how to go about that. In any case, I shut down qpopper and started Dovecot. I modified the Dovecot.conf file SSL settings (turned them off) since I do not have the files it needs built yet. Anyway, when using a mail client on another PC on my network, although it makes a connection, no mail is ever downloaded. Ther is mail in the folders however. Obviously I am doing something really wrong, but I am not sure what. I would sure appreciate any assistance available. The only information I have is in the 'log' file which shows the a pop3-login, the user name, method=PLAIN, and two numeric addresses. Thanks! -- Gerard Seibert gerard(a)seibercom.net

[Dovecot] help with authentication - cpanel
by allan hardy 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

I am trying to install dovecot as a second pop3 service in my RH9 system. It is a Cpanel based system using Courier for primary IP By primary I mean all the other domains use courier on xxx.xxx.xxx.21 port 110 I have a domain with special pop3 needs that is dedicated to xxx.xxx.xxx.22 port 110 The two mail systems are installed, I can tell via telenet that dovecot is listening and responding on the desired IP and port Cpanel is the tool being used by all domains to create mail accounts and hence setting the 'policy' for the mailboxes, userdb and passdb information. I am trying to make dovecot use those files and can't get past authentication. What I guess I don't know is the encryption type being used by Cpanel Any help appreciated.!!!! What Cpanel appears to do for authentication is use a passwd and shadow file for each domain, placed as follows: /home/accountname/etc/domainname/passwd holds the list of mail accounts names /home/accountname/etc/domain/shadow holds the passwords This is the message log from a telnet session on local machine: dovecot: Jul 22 13:45:27 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=POP3 secured lip=xxx.xxx.179.22 rip=xxx.xxx.179.22 resp=AGFsbGFuAHRlc3Q= dovecot: Jul 22 13:45:27 Info: auth(default): shadow(allan,xxx.xxx.179.22): password mismatch dovecot: Jul 22 13:45:29 Info: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=allan dovecot: Jul 22 13:45:36 Info: pop3-login: Aborted login: user=<allan>, method=PLAIN, rip=xxx.xxx.179.22, lip=xxx.xxx.179.22, secured ~ This was in the shadow file: ---Shadow file entry allan:$1$V0lG6T6P$eNQoX3J3N5RJNxT5yH8gz1::::::: These are my relevant (At least I think they are relevant) dovecot.conf settings: disable_plaintext_auth = no ssl_disable = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain login anonymous passdb shadow { /home/xxxxxx/etc/xxxxx.com/shadow } userdb passwd-file { # Path for passwd-file args = /home/xxxxxxx/etc/xxxxx.com/passwd } --PAM is commented out As a side note, I tried to see if I could tell from the courier setup how it was authenticating. The courier/etc/pop3d file was set POP3AUTH="" And there was a note "To advertise the SASL capability, per RFC 2449, uncomment the POP3AUTH variable" So it this may indicate sasl is being used, what ever that means

[Dovecot] Dovecot and quotas
by mikael 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

Hello, I have succesfully installed dovecot version 1.0.rc2 on my Debian Sarge. I have configured quotas (just for tests) like this : == dovecot.conf == ... auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } } protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } plugin { # quota = 10 Mb quota = dirsize:storage=10240 } ... ================== Quotas works without problem : 10Mb for all users... But i would like quotas per user and kept thi default value of 10Mb... How to override this default value ? How to do peruser-quota with "passwd" userdb (or "passwd-file") ? Really thanks for your help, -- Mikaël,

[Dovecot] cmusieve plugin
by Stuart Sears 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi guys I have been doing a lot of searching, but maybe I am being dim (not unheard of!). I have dovecot-1.0rc2 built and running on Fedora Core 5. The wiki page (dated yesterday) states that I need the cmusieve plugin to use sieve scripts with the dovecot lda. Is this a new development? They seem to work quite happily on my soon-to-be retired 1.0-beta7 debian box without an extra plugin. secondly, if it is now necessary, where do I get this plugin from? (this may be the dim part) I have a cvs checkout of the dovecot sources, but I see nothing obviously connected to cmusieve anywhere in the source tree If this is in a different module, then can someone let me know the name of it, so that I can check it out of CVS as well?
