[Dovecot] Dovecot usage values differ from actual disk usage
by Daniel Parthey 26 May '12

26 May '12

Hi, in my dovecot setup the accounting database table shows wrong values which do not correspond with the actual disk space used. The disk usage says 2.6 Gigabytes: mail01:~# du -sh /mail/dovecot/example.org/username 2.6G /mail/dovecot/example.org/username While the doveadm quota get says 7 Gigabytes for the same user: mail01:~# doveadm -f tab quota get -u username(a)example.org Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 7065208 - 0 User quota MESSAGE 282024 - 0 mysql> select * from dovecot.dovecot_usage where username="username(a)example.org"; +----------------------+------------+----------+ | username | storage | messages | +----------------------+------------+----------+ | username(a)example.org | 7234773131 | 282024 | +----------------------+------------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) What might be the reason for such huge differences (several gigabytes) between storage value in dovecot_usage table and disk usage value? After a quota recalc everything is correct: mail01:~# doveadm quota recalc -u username(a)example.org mail01:~# doveadm -f tab quota get -u username(a)example.org Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 2630434 - 0 User quota MESSAGE 100714 - 0 mysql> select * from dovecot.dovecot_usage where username="username(a)example.org"; +----------------------+------------+----------+ | username | storage | messages | +----------------------+------------+----------+ | username(a)example.org | 2693565239 | 100714 | +----------------------+------------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) How can I keep the accounting data consistent with actual disk usage, without running a recalc cronjob every few hours? There's running a dovecot director and mailbox instance on each of our servers with the mails being stored on NFS and received from postfix via LMTP through the director lmtp port 20024. Configuration of director (dovecot-director.conf) and mailbox (dovecot.conf) is attached. Kind regards Daniel

[Dovecot] Valid config for lda_mailbox_autosubscribe with dovecot 1.2?
by Joan 25 May '12

25 May '12

Hi, Due to some reasons I've to support both dovecot 1.2 and dovecot 2.x, and I just found that the -s parameter I used to autosubscribe to sieve folders doesn't exist anymore in dovecot 2.x The problem arises because (AFAIK) in postfix's master.cf you can only specify one configuration, and I used to have this: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} -s Is there any way to make the config compatible for both versions, achieving the autosubscribe and not crashing dovecot?

[Dovecot] Running sieve manually
by Fredrik Staxeng 23 May '12

23 May '12

I would like use sieve to split up my saved mail into different folders. I have tried to find out how to do that, but failed. The IMAP server is dovecot 1.2.15 on ubuntu 11.04. The mail is stored in mbox folders. I have shell access. -- Fredrik Stax\"ang | rot13: sfgk(a)hcqngr.hh.fr This is all you need to know about vi: ESC : q ! RET

[Dovecot] Berkeley DB with Dovecot
by Jerry 23 May '12

23 May '12

I have a friend who is preparing to set up a small Postfix/Dovecot mail system. There are only approximately 25 users. He wants to use Berkeley DB in a similar fashion to the way Postfix does. I told him I do not believe Dovecot supports that. I could not find any documentation relating to it. 1) Does Dovecot support Berkeley DB? 2) Are their any plans to incorporate that feature into Dovecot? It seems like it could potentially be a very useful feature. I have used it myself when a full blown MySQL configuration seemed like over-kill on other small projects. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

[Dovecot] sieve
by upen 22 May '12

22 May '12

Hi, I'd like to keep all emails coming from alom-alert@anydomain and not forward those but rest of the emails will be kept and forwarded as well. I put following in the .dovecot.sieve if header :contains "Sender" "alom-alert@" { keep; if not header :contains "Sender" "alom-alert@" { redirect "my@emailid on server"; redirect "xyz(a)gmail.com"; redirect "abc(a)tbc.edu"; stop; } } Is this correct? Thanks, UG

by Joe Beaubien 21 May '12

21 May '12

Hi everyone, I have a dovecot 2.1.6 setup with fts_lucene. The lucene indexes get created/updated fine when I do a manual search thru telnet. However, if I run a webapp that uses the php::imap_search function, the index never gets created/updated. I run indo the same problem with thunderbird and full-body search. Anyone has some insight into this? Regards, -Joe
