Re: [Dovecot] Problem overriding default quota limit

Hi Daniel, The "userdb" ldap is in this section: protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " quota sieve" userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-lmtp.conf.ext driver = ldap } } And dovecot-ldap-lmtp.conf.ex contains this: hosts = xxx.xxx.es:389 dn = uid=xxxxx,o=xxxxxx,c=es dnpass = xxxxxxxxxxx ldap_version = 3 base = o=xxxxxxxxxxxx,c=ES user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home,mailquotasize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ user_filter = (uid=%u) A las Viernes, 27-07-2012 en 2:34 Daniel Parthey escribió: Hi Raul, Raul Jareño Morago wrote: > We get user's quota limit from LDAP.

The default is not taken since your LDAP query returns a quota_rule with an empty bytes= value when the mailquotasize entry is missing.

[Dovecot] emails are being marked as read auto-magically
by Joe Beaubien 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

Hi, I'm having a weird issue with dovecot 2.1.7 (using the latest thunderbird client). Something, I have emails that mark themselves as read on their own. No one touches them, and they get marked as read. I try to re-mark them as unread, but a few seconds later, they get marked as read again. The same problem happens in reverse (emails marks as unread become read). Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? I cannot see any warnings or errors in the dovecot logs, so I'm not sure if the problem is with thunderbird or with dovecot. However, I have never had this issue before switching from dovecot 1.0.X to dovecot 2.1.X. Unfortunately, we updated the thunderbird versions around the same time, so I feel like a dog chasing my tail on this issue. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, -Joe

I don't think anybody can give you any concrete idea of how to change your dovecot setup without a lot more information. It appears to me you'll have to do a clean re-do of your dovecot setup, using your old configuration as a reference. Joseph Tam <jtam.home(a)gmail.com>

I just tried configuring the submission port on postfix but the problem persists even sending by port 587. About what Harald said, I guess I initially missed the point of the problem, it was just my conclusion because that error happens always after the logout message appears, and SMTP authentication is set on my client, so I deduced the problem had something to do with the logout thing. The curious thing is it just happens with SMTP, not with POP3/IMAP protocols. Thanks again! Nicolás

[Dovecot] Sieve & Adding headers.
by Steven Haigh 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi all, I've just migrated my mail system from procmail to managesieve/sieve and I'm having trouble trying to duplicate a could of rules I used to use in my procmail config. One particular rule would be this: :0 Wfh * ^Sender: owner-scientific-linux-devel(a)LISTSERV.FNAL.GOV | (sed -e '/^Subject:/ s/\[SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-DEVEL\] *//g'| sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/Precedence: list/Precedence: list\nList-Post: <mailto:scientific-linux-devel@fnal.gov>/g') :0 A .Mail\ Lists.SL-Devel/ This in effect adds the header "List-Post: <mailto:scientific-linux-devel@fnal.gov>" after "Precedence: list". This allows me to use the Reply To List functionality in Thunderbird. Another rule is: :0 Wfh * ^X-BeenThere: users(a)lists.repoforge.org | sed -e '/^Subject:/ s/\[users\] *//g' :0 A .Mail\ Lists.RPMForge/ This removes the [users] tag from the subject of each message to the RPMForge / RepoForge mailing lists. Is there a way to do this with sieve? Nothing I have seen seems to do this - however I'm only a beginner in this area. Please CC myself as well as the list. I'm not currently subscribed. -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299
