[Dovecot] Dovecot quota not working
by Bruno Guimarães Sousa 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hi everyone, I'm trying to make quota to work in dovecot 1.0.rc15 in a Debian machine. Setting the limit to 1GB and starting to fill up the mailbox and nothing stopped me. It just kept growing and nothing happened. Restarted the service and nothing. I had already exceeded the 1 GB limit and nothing happens, the mailbox still goes bigger and bigger... The *"check_quota"* plugin for squirrelmail shows "0.0% of 1.0GB" in my browser. 1GB is exactly what it is defined in dovecot.conf by maildir. Is it necessary to configure something in postfix? Details: # dovecot --version 1.0.rc15 # dovecot -n # /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf IEffective uid=65534, gid=65534 ILoading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap IModule loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap/lib01_quota_plugin.so IModule loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap/lib02_imap_quota_plugin.so log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login first_valid_uid: 0 first_valid_gid: 0 mail_privileged_group: users mail_location: mbox:/home/%u:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_debug: yes mmap_disable: yes mbox_read_locks: flock mbox_write_locks: flock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd regards, -- Bruno Guimarães Sousa www.ifba.edu.br PONTONET - DGTI - IFBA Ciência da Computação UFBA Registered Linux user #465914

[Dovecot] Managesieve and Dovecot from ATRPM - Still no luck
by Oli Schacher 05 Jan '10

Hi list I'm still trying to get managesieve running on centos x64 with the packages from atrpm. I used the 1.2.9 rpms (also rebuilt with the lastet managesieve patches) but I'm always getting the same error when trying to compile managesieve: ./configure --with-dovecot=/usr/lib64/dovecot/ --with-dovecot-sieve=/work/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.14 (no errors) make gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I/usr/include/dovecot -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-dict -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-mail -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-auth -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-index -I/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-storage -DMODULEDIR=\""/usr/lib64/dovecot"\" -I../../src/lib-managesieve -I../../src/lib-sievestorage -I/work/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.14 -I/work/dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.14/src/lib-sieve -std=gnu99 -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 -Wbad-function-cast -Wstrict-aliasing=2 -I/usr/kerberos/include -MT main.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/main.Tpo -c -o main.o main.c mv -f .deps/main.Tpo .deps/main.Po make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/dovecot/src/lib-storage/libstorage.a', needed by `managesieve'.

[Dovecot] Moving to hardlinks?
by David Abrahams 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

I just discovered that dovecot supports copying messages via hard-linking. I have a huge mailbox hierarchy of existing messages that I'd prefer to store that way. Is there a simple way to transform non-hard-linked storage to hard-linked? TIA, -- Dave Abrahams Meet me at BoostCon: http://www.boostcon.com BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

[Dovecot] architecture to handle 1000 messages per second?
by Bob Eastbrook 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Can anyone describe an architecture which can handle 1000 IMAP or POP messages per second? Ideally, it would be hosted in the cloud and additional instances could be launched to handle additional load. Bob

[Dovecot] dovecot as lda
by denlistes＠altern.org 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hi, I would like to integrate dovecot as lda for the hosting control panel alternc (http://www.alternc.org) I manage to run it for the mail but not for the alias. The problem is that in the configuration of alternc, the mails are seen as aliases in the form user_domain.tld. In a second time, a match is made to see if an "real" alias exists. postmap -q test(a)lists.test.net mysql:/etc/postfix/mydomain.cf test-owner_lists.collectifs.net postmap -q test-owner_lists.test.net mysql:/etc/postfix/myalias.cf "| /var/lib/mailman/mail/mailman owner test" With my configuration, this part is no longer working and dovecot can not find the user: test(a)lists.test.net user unknown Any ideas ? Thanks Denis # main.cf virtual_alias_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/myalias.cf, hash:/etc/aliases virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mydomain.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/myvirtual.cf virtual_transport = dovecot dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 # master.cf dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=www-data:www-data argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d $(recipient)

Hi, I've been getting these warnings in syslog since I've been running (Linux) kernels 2.6.31.x and up (I'm currently at 2.6.32.2), they do not show up on 2.6.30.x kernels.

[Dovecot] imap default separator ignored?
by Harald Dunkel 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

Hi folks, I have configured the imap folder separator to '/' (see below). AFAIU the separator character does not affect the internal folder representation managed by Dovecot, but just the communication between client and imap server. Question is: What is supposed to happen if I try to create a folder named "a.b" in this configuration? Since '.' is not a separator character anymore, and since the client doesn't know anything about the internals of Dovecot, I do not see why Dovecot complains about an invalid character? Shouldn't it hide its internal Maildir structure?

[Dovecot] Problems getting the antispam-plugin to work
by Malte Schirmacher 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

Hi List, i'm running the current debian lenny dovecot-version (dpkg says it's 1.0.15-2.3+lenny1) and i'm trying to get the antispam-plugin ('1.2+20090702-1~bpo50+3') to work. Unfortunately dovecot always says "antispam plugin not configured" moving spam into the spam-folder. My config: protocol imap { mail_plugins = antispam } plugin { antispam_signature = X-DSPAM-Signature antispam_signature_missing = error antispam_trash = Trash antispam_spam = Spam antispam_dspam_binary = /usr/bin/dspam antispam_dspam_args = --deliver=;--user;%u } Thanks in advance Malte Schirmacher
