[Dovecot] Wrong remote IP (rip) in mail.log using IMAP login
by tyli 02 Aug '13

02 Aug '13

Dear list users While trying to secure our dovecot server with fail2ban I came across the following problem: We use dovecot (1.2.9, ubuntu package) behind a NAT, and failed login attempts are logged with our firewall as the remote ip. Example: Apr 15 08:36:26 mail dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 6 attempts): user=<xy>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.0.1, lip=192.168.0.3 Therefore I would ban 192.168.0.1 which means that I ban EVERY user. Funny thing is that POP3 login attempts are logged correctly: Apr 13 11:05:50 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<sgvyniwx>, method=PLAIN, rip=217.81.27.55, lip=192.168.0.3 Any ideas how to change this? Thanks in advance tyli

[Dovecot] trouble with setting individual quota values for multiple namespaces
by Andreas Oster 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hello all please apologize that I repost this problem again. I tried to get some help several times on the list but did not find/get a solution. I am still struggling to setup different quotas for namespaces. In addition to the default "INBOX" namespace I have created a namespace called "MailArchive" which should have its own quota value of 5G per user. At first I configured quota2 like this: quota2 = maildir:MailArchive quota:ns=MailArchive/ quota2_rule = *:storage=5G and this seemd to work quite well. Users, accessing the MailArchive namespace can see the 5G limit in their mail client, unfortunately in the mail.err log file, errors like these repeatedly appear: Jul 29 11:40:24 mailserver dovecot: imap(testuser): Error: quota: Unknown namespace: MailArchive/ Jul 29 11:41:43 dovecot: last message repeated 47 times In the WIKI I have read, that in order to have quota for different namespaces, one would have to use different quota backends so I changed the quota config for the MailArchive namespace to SQL. namespace inbox { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe driver = special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe driver = special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe driver = special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { auto = no driver = special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe driver = special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = yes location = maildir:/var/vmail/archive/%Ln/Maildir mailbox "Archived Mails" { auto = subscribe driver = } prefix = MailArchive/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota:ns= quota2 = dict:Archive Quota:%u.mailarchive:ns=MailArchive/:proxy::sqlquota quota2_rule = *:storage=5G quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+200M } dict { sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } Unfortunately this did not change anything. Quota is working like expected but I still get the same errors in mail.err. I am currently using dovecot version 2.2.4. Thank you for your kind help best regards Andreas

I think the cause is clear enough: you (user=md5i/uid=1000) are not part of group mail (gid=8), so the dovecot user process doing things on your behalf cannot create index files that are anlogous to the mailbox it's indexing. You can either 1) add "md5i" to group mail 2) remove g+w permission on your mail files (making group membership irrelevant) 3) fiddle with "mail_privileged_group = mail", but I'm a little hazy on all the ramifications of this. I don't know your particular circumstances, so I don't know which is best. If (big if) nothing on your system (particularly the MTA) requires access to your mail spool files by running as group=mail, probably 2) is your best option. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

[Dovecot] LMTP: userdb lookup - user-filter with variables
by Burckhard Schmidt 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

I tried to use dovcots lmtp instead of dovecot-lda. postfix has in master.cf ... dovecot-lda -f ... -d ${user} to separate the user part from user(a)hostname.domain. So lookup of "user" succeeds in userdb (LDAP) done by dovecot-lda. I have always local addresses like to=<user(a)hostname.domain> postfix/lmtp[6579]: [ID 197553 mail.info] B3CDA66A16: to=<h0094slk(a)mailstore4.hu-berlin.de> With lmtp the userpart must be separated also. I tried user_filter (LDAP) with %n, %Ln, %8n without success: userdb lookup: user(a)hostname.domain doesn't exist) dovecot-2.1.17 I used "doveadm user h0094slk" and "doveadm user h0094slk(a)mailstore4.hu-berlin.de" for my tests. userdb { driver = ldap args = /usr/dovecot/etc/ldapuser.conf } and ldapuser.conf with ... user_filter = (&(uid=%n) (objectClass=cmsAccount)) user_attrs = homeDirectory=home I modified user_filter like uid=%Ln or uid=%8u success for doveadm user h0094slk (because nothing to split) userdb: h0094slk home : /home/p0094/h0094slk but no success for doveadm user h0094slk(a)mailstore4.hu-berlin.de userdb lookup: user h0094slk(a)mailstore4.hu-berlin.de doesn't exist It looks for me like user_filter do not use variables at this point?

"Hogging" CPU and memory is putting it strongly, as it is basically suspended while blocked on waiting for a connection, and if left for a long time in an idle state, might be swapped out to disk and not consuming (real) memory, or consuming real memory that isn't in use otherwise. As I stated before, the resource usage is small compared with all the other stuff going on, so if you don't have a busy mail server, I don't think you should sweat the difference. The benefits of LMTP should increase with load, as having LMTP resident will save you the overhead of repeatedly loading/unloading LDA, and I'm sure the CPU and memory usage of servicing that overhead will be non-trivial. If you have oodles of memory, then it's no problem keeping a LMTP resident. If you don't have enough memory and are VM disk thrashing, you'll have other problems and LDA/LMTP is the least of your worries. > And when it's running as root there is always the danger > of privilege escalation. LDA only runs when it's needed and since it > uses only user rights it shoudbe more harmless. I didn't contest the privilege separation aspect, as it a necessary design trade-off that one daemon doing things for all user will need overriding access. However, if this is a concern, you can virtualize all your users. LMTP can theoretically be subverted, but at least won't be as root. (I'm assuming LMTP stays as root, and not spawning off user processes to do the real work.) Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

Well, the background process is hogging CPU and RAM while it basically does nothing. And when it's running as root there is always the danger of privilege escalation.

[Dovecot] LDA vs. LMTP
by Martin Burgraf 30 Jul '13

30 Jul '13

Hi there, I'm using Dovecot together with Postfix; as I understand it, there are two ways to transfer the mail from Postfix to Dovecot. 1.) by using LDA with mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT" 2.) by using LMTP with mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp (currently using number 1) I'm interessted in the differences and the advantages/disadvantages of each of those solutions. According to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA the recommended way is to use LMTP, since it's supposed to have a better performance. On the other hand, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LMTP says, that LMTP is a backgound process, while LDA is only called when needed. I've also read, that LDA only uses the users privileges, which both means, that LDA should be better. I've also noticed, that LMTP adds an additional Recieved:-Header to the mail. Are there any other differences? Thank you M.

[Dovecot] Maildir permissions and Solr re-indexing
by Michael Welsh Duggan 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

I am running a very small dovecot installation with only one user (me). I use the Solr indexer for indexing. Due to complicated reasons, I was forced to remove all the indexes and need to re-index everything. All the files in my Maildir are owned by md5i:mail (I am md5i), and have 660 permissions. All directories have the same user:group permissions, and 770 with the setguid bit set. (That last may not be necessary, but I was trying several things to get my use case to work.) Unfortunately, I can't seem to get re-indexing to work. When I do "doveadm fts rescan -A" as root, I get the following error for each of my subgroups: doveadm(md5i): Error: fchown(/home/md5i/Maildir/.mail.test/dovecot.index.log.newlock, group=8(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1000(md5i), group based on /home/md5i/Maildir/.mail.test - see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Errors/ChgrpNoPerm) After this, each directory has a dovecot.index.log with md5i:md5i 600 permissions. I've read the mentioned page, and played around with the ideas on it, but haven't gotten things to work. Anyone have any clue to ship my way? -- Michael Welsh Duggan (md5i(a)md5i.com)

[Dovecot] Upgrading to dovecot2 broke IDLE on one mailer, but not another
by John Stracke 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Last weekend I upgraded my server (complete reinstall, actually), from Debian sarge to wheezy, which brought me from dovecot 1.x (I think) to 2.1.7. It's all working now, *except* that the MUA I use on Android, Kaiten (a fork of K-9), apparently no longer gets IDLE notifications. Before the upgrade, when mail arrived, Kaiten would pop up an Android notification immediately; now, it never does (or it might, hours later, with all the messages it notices at that time--presumably this happens when its background service gets killed off and restarted). The weird thing is that IDLE still works flawlessly with Thunderbird, which suggests this is a protocol interaction between Dovecot 2 and Kaiten. (I plan to check with the Kaiten folks next.) Has anybody here seen this? Is there something I can turn on in Dovecot to help debug it? I did check my old Dovecot settings, and they didn't specify anything non-default about IDLE. Thanks in advance!

[Dovecot] how to setup different quota for multiple namespaces
by Andreas Oster 29 Jul '13

29 Jul '13

Hello all, I am using dovecot for some time now but always had very basic configurations. I recently have configured a new, additional namespace in order to move archived mails (Thunderbird Archives) to another storage system. namespace { type = private separator = . prefix = Archives. location = maildir:/var/vmail/archive/%Ln/Maildir subscriptions = yes list = children inbox = no } This works well but unfortunately I cannot find a solution to either ignore this new namespace from quota computation or add a separate quota value for it. I have integrated user authentication with LDAP and fetch some user attributes from LDAP entries: user_attrs = =home=/var/vmail/%Ln/Maildir,=mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%Ln/Maildir/,otherPager=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ I configured the quota plugin in the following way: plugin { quota = maildir:User quota:ns= quota2 = maildir:Archive quota:ns=Archives. quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = ns=Archives.:ignore } unfortunately this does not give the desired result. Folders under the Archives namespace use the same quota as INBOX. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this ? Thank you for your kind help Andreas

[Dovecot] Case-insensitive "detail" mailboxes?
by /dev/rob0 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

We're using sieve with LMTP. We want to have lda_mailbox_autocreate and lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox. Is there a way to make the "detail" case-insensitive? If so I have not found it yet. I suppose we could lowercase the input string for the SQL userdb query, but that's not what is wanted. The idea being that if a user makes a mailbox called "Test" is that user+test(a)example.com and user+TEST(a)example.com should both go to that "Test" mailbox. If it was lowercased, a mailbox called "Test" would be ignored and "test" used. With autocreate, this could be a problem if mail is delivered to autocreated case-sensitive mailboxes that the user won't see. Hmmm, maybe a global sieve script? -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ -- system administration and consulting Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:

[Dovecot] dbus support in dovecot?
by Gene Heskett 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Greetings; I am trying to transition from ubu10.04.4 LTS to ubu12.04.2 LTS, but in the changeover I want to setup dovecot as a local only imap server so that I can read & respond to email from any of the other 4 or so machines on my local net. To that end, and given that I have a well working setup right now, using fetchmail driving mailfilter as a pre-check, procmail as the MTA delivering to /var/spool/mail/me, with clamav and spamd in the mix to intercept and send to /dev/null the worst of the spam, or to a quarantine file if clamav triggers. The current transfer mechanism is driven by a script that uses inotifywait to detect newly delivered mail in that directory, and which then sends kmail a dbus message to go get the mail. Since I want to insert dovecot into this chain, does dovecot have a dbus port, and if so, what is the format of the command it expects? Thanks all.

[Dovecot] Namespace, Sieve and upgrading to dovecot 2.0 -- no folder "INBOX/"
by Ben 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

I just upgraded from debian squeeze->wheezy. This meant upgrading from dovecot 1.2 to 2.1.7 and upgrading to Pigdeonhole sieve. I have dovecot configured to use sieve and virtual users (I'll post config below) Now any message that come in get filtered by sieve, but any messages that don't hit any filters gives the error (in the sieve log): msgid=<XXXX(a)XXX.com>: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX/': Invalid mailbox name As far as I can tell, Pidgeonhole has hard-coded to the behavior of 'keep' (that is unfiltered emails) to be: fileinto "INBOX/" However, in my setup "INBOX/" is not a valid folder. "INBOX" is. Is there a way to get pidgeonhole sieve to treat 'keep' as fileinto "INBOX"? Or do I need to reconfigure my dovecot namespaces? I tried playing with them, but everything works right now (sharing, etc) and when I changed my prefix on the inbox, etc, it did weird things (INBOX.INBOX.FOLDER) instead of (INBOX.Folder). Suggestions? Here is, I believe the relevant config info: dovecot.conf: namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { list = children location = maildir:/Mail/Users/%%n/:INDEX=/Mail/Users/%u/shared/%%u prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = shared } Thanks, Ben

[Dovecot] dovecot-lda not logging if dovecot runs under daemontools
by Roberto Puzzanghera 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Hello all, I have dovecot running under daemontools and I can't see dovecot-lda in action when I read the logs. I've set the logs to /dev/stderr because daemontools redirects /dev/stderr to /var/log/dovecot/current. The dovecot server works fine and I know that dovecot-lda is actually doing the delivery, because the sieve facility is working as well. I can get lda log working -but only on syslog- if I override the log_path in this way: protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve log_path = } I'm calling dovecot-lda in the usual qmail way. This is my .qmail-default: |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER As running dovecot under daemontools seems to be a common practice among qmail users, could any of you give me an hint on how dovecot should be configured to achieve the purpose?

[Dovecot] Managing IMAP IDLE/Push with Sieve – possible?
by FF 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Hello, I've been using Dovecot with Sieve for a long time already, and I'm very happy with it. Push is working fine too. I was wondering, however, whether it would be possible to define a Sieve rule (perhaps using some plug-in), such that an IMAP push message gets sent out only for specific senders etc.? Have you come across anything like that? Thanks a lot, F.F.

I have been trying off and on for the better part of a year to get a dovecot server migrated from one machine to another. It is currently working on CENTOS and we are trying to get it on Redhat. Currently I have everything migrated and working in IMAP, but we have one client device that requires POP3 (doesn't support IMAP). To this end, we have set up everything to work in POP3 as far as I can tell. In the dovecot.conf file, we show: protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } The services running include: dovecot-auth imap-login imap-login imap-login pop3-login pop3-login pop3-login Everything else looks good including the logs which seem to show proper connectivity - messages are being received, accounts are connecting and disconnecting, etc. but the pop connections are not (apparently) passing messages found in that box. They are still just sitting there, not being read, picked up, or otherwise delivered by dovecot. Any ideas on what else I can check or change to get this to pick up? Thanks, Tom Higgins

[Dovecot] zlib error when running doveadm
by Michael Long 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

I manually fixed it by copying src/plugins/zlib/lib20_zlib_plugin.la to /usr/local/lib/dovecot/doveadm I do not understand why 'make install' won't do that? A bug perhaps?

[Dovecot] OT: SAN vs Flash only SAN-less VM architecture for data storage
by Charles Marcus 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

Hello all, I am investigating options for leveraging our companies two locations, to provide fault tolerance/redundancy for our VM infrastructure. I was looking at SAN storage options, but ran across an interesting article, and would like opinions. It sounds great, a real win-win as to cost *and* performance... We have redundant/identical hosts at each location that can fulfill the requirements discussed... http://www.storage-switzerland.com/Articles/Entries/2012/9/20_The_Benefits_… or http://tinyurl.com/khwuspo Stan, I'm especially interested in your take, considering your experience with high end SANs and VM storage environments... Thanks, -- Best regards, Charles

[Dovecot] Archiving mail
by Koenraad Lelong 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hi, I'm going to migrate my company-mailserver to new hardware. I would like to take the opportunity to archive some older mail. But I would like to have it still accessible, would this be possible with dovecot ? I mean, I would like to put that older mail from different users (I got about 50 users) on some read-only media but mount that media in the users mail-dirs. That way I will have less to backup after I backup that old mail and store it safely away. I can't convince my users to really clean up their mailboxes, so I backup more than 100GB mail while the total backup is a bit more than 300GB. Writing this I realise I could give each user a folder oldmail and symlink that to a read-only oldmail folder. Would this work ? I will have to find out how my backup-software can ignore the oldmail-folder. Thanks for any suggestions, Koenraad Lelong

[Dovecot] Password encryption type for dovecot & postfix saslauthd with mysql
by Simon 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

Hi There, We are using dovecot v2.2.4 (compiled from source) and postfix (yum install) on Centos 6.4. We are storing our virtual user config in mysql. Server 1 has dovecot/postfix and accepts incoming mail from our mail filter servers - this is purely for IMAP/POP services. Server 2 has postfix for our clients to send email via TLS/saslauthd. Both use the same (separate) mysql server for config. One issue is that we have a requirement to merge user / passwords for sending clients from two sources: 1) the dovecot mailbox list 2). another list. The dovecot user list is email + password. The other list is username + password. To that end we have created a view table in mysql that merges the two.. tables + view look a little like this: table: mail_users (for dovecot) email,password test(a)test1.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD test2(a)test1.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD bla(a)bla.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD table: mail_senders_other username,password username1,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD something_else,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD view: mail_senders (for postfix) username,password test(a)test1.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD test2(a)test1.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD bla(a)bla.com,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD username1,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD something_else,CRAM-MD5_PASSWORD I have dovecot working fine, but just need a little push in the correct direction (please) to figure out the correct settings and password encryption scheme to make the above work. Many thanks! Simon

[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.2.4 does not create home directory?
by Dmitry . 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi, Does not create, or something I did wrong? Here http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home it is written Home vs. mail directory Home directory shouldn't be the same as mail directory. It's possible to do that, but you might run into trouble with it sooner or later. Some problems with this are: and Ways to set up home directory The home directory is the same as the mail directory. If for example home=/var/vmail/domain/user/ mail=/var/vmail/domain/user/mail/, set: mail_home = /var/vmail/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail I think I've done it so. And yet, here http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/SimpleVirtualInstall it is written Users can be added by editing this file. Dovecot automatically notices the new users immediately after they're added. It also creates their home directories when the user logs in. However, the directory is not created.

[Dovecot] Variable similar to %u but providing the username changed by a database lookup?
by Axel Luttgens 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hello, Variable %u may be used in dovecot.conf whenever the "full username" is needed. But the expansion of %u returns the username before a possible change performed thru a password or user database lookup (e.g., in the case of a SQL database, thru as "AS user" clause). Is there a variable that would expand to the changed name when used in the configuration file? TIA, Axel

[Dovecot] Fail2ban and logging

Hello, Dovecot is logging authentication failures this way: ------ Jul 12 18:07:19 vps0 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 22 attempts in 172 secs): user=<info>, method=PLAIN, rip=82.95.148.152, lip=1.2.3.4, TLS, session=<QylMqlLhVwBSX5SY> ------ Fail2ban is trying to catch them with this regex: ------ failregex = .*(?:pop3-login|imap-login):.*(?:Authentication failure|Aborted login \(auth failed|Aborted login \(tried to use disabled|Disconnected \(auth failed).*rip=(?P<host>\S*),.* ------ This way fail2ban is counting 22 attempts as 1 attempt... I expect I need to change something on the logging, so that every attempt is seperate logged. But I don't know how. Is here somebody who knows how to get fail2ban correct working? No help on this on the wiki's: http://wiki1.dovecot.org/HowTo/Fail2Ban http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Logging http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Dovecot With regards, Paul van der Vlis. -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer, Groningen http://www.vandervlis.nl/

[Dovecot] courier to dovecot
by J Gao 17 Jul '13

17 Jul '13

Hi, All, I am new here and I need your advises. Here is my story: I have a mail server like this: - CentOS 5 32 bit (LAMP) - Postfix 2.3 - Courier - MailScanner Courier use maildir to save emails in /home/vmail/<virtual domain>/<user> / Now I want to build a new system on CentOS 6.4 64bit with postfix, dovecot and migrate all user accounts and their emails. I already installed CentOS 6.4, postfix and mysql. Also just installed Dovecot v2.2.4 from the RPM. Now I am looking into how to Is there a good instruction on how to do this kind of migration? I still prefer using the maildir system. If I just copy all users email from old server to new dovecot user maildir, will dovecot see these mails (and sub-folders) ? Do I need do anything extra? Thanks in advance. Gao -- __ _|==|_ ('')__/ >--(`^^') (`^'^'`) `======'

[Dovecot] reload without shutting imap connections down
by Hajo Locke 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hello, we have some problems with users who report connectionproblems to dovecot sometimes. According to the logs there are dovecot reloads at this times. Seems that a reload also causes dovecot to shut all imapconnections down: Jul 16 13:31:40 myhostname dovecot: master: Warning: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration Jul 16 13:31:40 myhostname dovecot: imap: Server shutting down. bytes=251/675 I tried to reload by initscript or sending -HUP manually to pid, dovecot is shutting down imapconnections and i think this is the reason for users to report this problems with some clients. This seems to be new with versions 2.x, i have some old 1.2.x dovecots running and cant find "Server shutting down" in their logs after reload. I have still potential to reduce reloads, but cant avoid them completely. Is there a workaround? Thanks, Hajo

[Dovecot] Difference between using auth_realms and setting up virtual mailboxes in postfix?
by Gab IIpop 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hi, there is a possibility in the future that I might have to support multiple domain names(but using the same IP address). Postfix has something called 'virtual mailboxes' to help handle this. But I also noticed that dovecot has a setting "auth_realms" where I can specify domains separated by a space. What is the relationship between the two?

[Dovecot] mail not reject when the mailbox is full (Dovecot-LDAP-Imap_quota)
by Victor Oñate 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hello List. Currently I have configured the share of users through the LDAP query as shown #dovecot.conf protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } plugin { quota = dirsize } userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf } #dovecot-ldap.conf auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = dc=XXX,dc=YY,dc=ZZ deref = never scope = subtree user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid,mail=Maildir,mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password,homeDirectory=userdb_home,uidNumber=userdb_uid,gidNumber=userdb_gid pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) Additionally in thunderbird customers have the plug so they can see the share. This works perfect! However, when the mailbox exceeds 100% users continue to receive mail which makes the risk set allocated disk space, the idea is that when full the mail reject with a message "mailbox XXX full" . As always appreciate the ideas. Victor Oñate
