[Dovecot] mailbox utilities
by Terry 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hello, Are there any utilities that will spit out statistics about some mailboxes I have on my server? For example, how many messages are in each mailbox? They appear to be in mbox format (default?). Thanks!

P.S. It's not *exactly* what you are looking for -- but it can still spit you out some useful and semi-related statistics. -----Original Message----- From: "Kádár Tamás" tamas.kadar(a)espell.com Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:37:01 To: <dovecot(a)dovecot.org> Reply-To: tamas.kadar(a)espell.com Subject: Re: [Dovecot] mailbox utilities If you happen to use Postfix, you can use pflogsumm which is crude, but works. ------Original Message------ From: Terry Sender: dovecot-bounces+tamas.kadar=espell.com(a)dovecot.org To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Subject: [Dovecot] mailbox utilities Sent: Aug 19, 2010 21:25 Hello, Are there any utilities that will spit out statistics about some mailboxes I have on my server?

[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2 and quota_rules from AD
by Christian Lyra 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi I´m trying to figure how to proper configure postfix+dovecot to enforce quotas from a AD (ldap). I´m using the following configuration: dovecot.conf: ... protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota .. } auth default { passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-pass.conf } userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf } ... } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota #quota_rule = *:storage=2M // tried with and without this line } dovecot-ldap.conf: ... user_attrs = sAMAccountName=mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%$/Maildir, quotaMail=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(|(mail=%u)(sAMAccountName=%u))) pass_attrs = sAMAaccountName=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=person)(sAMAaccountName=%u)) Quotas are set by the quotaMail in AD. And here is the log: Aug 9 11:41:37 vm29 dovecot: auth(default): master in: USER#0111#011testeti(a)teste.mydomain#011service=deliver Aug 9 11:41:37 vm29 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(testeti(a)teste.mydomain): user search: base=dc=mydomain scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=person)(| (mail=testeti@teste.mydomain)(sAMAccountName=testeti@teste.mydomain))) fields=sAMAccountName,quotaMail Aug 9 11:41:37 vm29 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(testeti(a)teste.mydomain): result: sAMAccountName(mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%$/Maildir)=maildir:/var/vmail/testeti/Maildir Aug 9 11:41:37 vm29 dovecot: auth(default): master out: USER#0111#011testeti@teste.mydomain#011mail=maildir:/var/vmail/testeti/Maildir Aug 9 11:41:37 vm29 dovecot: deliver(testeti(a)teste.mydomain): auth input: mail=maildir:/var/vmail/testeti/Maildir Aug 9 11:41:37 vm29 dovecot: deliver(testeti(a)teste.mydomain): Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= Aug 9 11:41:37 vm29 dovecot: deliver(testeti(a)teste.mydomain): maildir: data=/var/vmail/testeti/Maildir Aug 9 11:41:37 vm29 dovecot: deliver(testeti(a)teste.mydomain): maildir++: root=/var/vmail/testeti/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/var/vmail/testeti/Maildir Aug 9 11:41:37 vm29 dovecot: deliver(testeti(a)teste.mydomain): Namespace : Using permissions from /var/vmail/testeti/Maildir: mode=0700 gid=-1 Aug 9 11:41:37 vm29 dovecot: deliver(testeti(a)teste.mydomain): msgid=<201008091142.53089.lyra(a)pop-pr.rnp.br>: saved mail to INBOX There´s no quota_rule in logs... uncomenting the line quota_rule = *:storage=2M I got quota, bu only this static one, and not per-user. What I´m doing wrong? Btw... with static configuration the maildirsize file is created, but without static configuration it´s not (well.. no quota_rule...). thanks in advance, -- Christian Lyra POP-PR - RNP

[Dovecot] Dovecot lda with qmail
by Piyush Joshi 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Dear All, According to my setup i can not call |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda from my /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery file, Instead making a perl file which will call the same for delivery of mails. If i put the following code in my mail.pl |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda then it throws error in running file from command line. Warning: Use of "-f" without parentheses is ambiguous at /var/qmail/bin/mail.pl line 2. syntax error at /var/qmail/bin/mail.pl line 2, near "|" Execution of /var/qmail/bin/mail.pl aborted due to compilation errors. content of mail.pl #!/usr/bin/perl |/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda Any help will be useful for me. Thanks

With the release of dovecot 2.0, the community of the Dovecot mailling list, and us at Shelton Computers, would sincerely like to thank the developers of Dovecot. For, if it were not for you, we would be stuck with Courier and would not have the impressive features of Sieve, as opposed to the unmanageable scripts, by end users, of maildrop. *Our gratitude goes to, but not limited to:* *Timo Sirainen and Charles Marcus* *We apologize if we have missed anyone and ask that EVERYONE using dovecot would express their thanks and gratitude by signing this thread, to also include any people beyond the mentioned.* Please, Mr. Sirainen, make a donation link as we have tried to find one on dovecot.org!

[Dovecot] dovecot-lda logging
by Nishant Limbachia 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi everyone, I'm using Postfix and Dovecot with dovecot-lda used for local delivery. I've successfully migrated from 1.2.13 to 2.0.0 however I have a little problem with dovecot-lda logging. With version 1.2.13, I use to log dovecot-lda to /var/log/dovecot-lda.log with world-writable mode. With version 2.0.0, postfix complains: "Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot.log: permission denied". This is understandable because my dovecot.log file is 0600 mode. My question is how do I retain the 1.2.13 functionality of logging dovecot-lda to /var/log/dovecot-lda.log. I've read the LDA.txt in the wiki documentation and it states I can override log_path & info_log_path like this: protocol lda { log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log } What I don't know is where to add that segment. Should I add it to 10-logging.conf or 15-lda.conf? Right now I've added that to both the files but I still see the postfix permission denied message. I will appreciate if someone can help out. Thanks! BTW, Great work Timo!!! Thank you very much for a great piece of software!

[Dovecot] Linux should be as easy as Windows
by Dennis Clarke 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

>From a "Standards" thread I saw this : "Linux should be as easy as Windows" I would like to point out that this is a thinking problem. A shift in thinking is required. That should say : "Open source and Free software should be as easy as Windows" In this way we allow someone running BSD, Solaris or some port of Debian to an old Dec AlphaServer will have the same level of functionality provided standards are adhered to. Once programmers begin to see everything in the light of Linux then we can also kiss goodbye the opportunity for portability to other OS types. Dennis

[Dovecot] Pigeonhole: error while loading shared libraries
by Sebastian Köhler 19 Aug '10

19 Aug '10

Hi, I built pigeonhole from the hg repo for Dovecot 2.0. Local sieve scripts work fine. But as soon as I try to connect via managesieve I get this errror: managesieve-login: Error: dovecot/managesieve-login: error while loading shared libraries: libdovecot-login.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory My dovecot install is in /usr/lib/dovecot and I had to symlink the libs in the dovecot folder to /usr/lib to make managesieve work. My configure options were: "--prefix=/usr --with-dovecot=/usr/lib/dovecot" Sebastian -- The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
