virtualfolders under mdbox storage backend
by Jesus Cea 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Reading docs in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual I wonder how is that used if I am using MDBOX as my storage backend.

Re: [Dovecot] quota using wrong limits in user shared mailboxes
by Bartłomiej Nogaś 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Hi, I confirm this bug with LDAP userdb. The temporary workaround is to set quota ignore rule for Shared namespace or specific shared folder. This is obviously not secure workaround. Example: for a shared namespace: namespace ( .... prefix = Shared Folders/%%u/ ... } you have to set quota_rule4 = Shared Folders/*:ignore or quota_rule4 = Shared Folders/username/*:ignore - Bartlomiej Nogas

Trouble getting listescape plugin to work with "$" separator (as demonstrated in Wiki) in Dovecot 2.2.9
by Ben Johnson 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Hello, I'm attempting to install the listescape plugin so that IMAP users are able to include periods (.) and forward slashes (/) in IMAP directory names. I'm following the instructions at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Listescape , which imply that this can be accomplished by enabling the listescape plugin and using the dollar sign ($) as the separator. With regard to my dovecot configuration, first, I changed protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota antispam } to protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota antispam listescape namespace private { separator = $ inbox = yes } } When I start dovecot, I receive the following error: doveconf: Warning: NOTE: You can get a new clean config file with: doveconf -n > dovecot-new.conf doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:102: namespace private {} has been replaced by namespace { type=private } Pretty straightforward; I made the required change to yield protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota antispam listescape namespace { type = private separator = $ inbox = yes } } But now, when I attempt to start dovecot, I receive the following error: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 104: Unknown variable: $ doveconf: Error: managesieve-login: dump-capability process returned 89 doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf line 104: Unknown variable: $ Is it possible that the instructions at the Wiki 2 URL cited above are out-of-date? If I try to escape the $ with any other character (I'm just shooting in the dark regarding possible escape characters, as I cannot find definitive documentation that pertains to escaping $ in the dovecot configuration), I receive yet another error: doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: Namespace '': Hierarchy separator must be only one character long doveconf: Error: managesieve-login: dump-capability process returned 89 doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: Namespace '': Hierarchy separator must be only one character long Ultimately, I have two questions: 1.) Is the nesting structure that I've employed correct? The Wiki 2 page is not clear with regard to the nesting; is it correct to put the "namespace" block inside the "protocol imap" block, as I demonstrated above? 2.) Is it possible to escape the dollar sign so that it can be used as the separator? Full "doveconf -n" output is included below.

auth with entire email addr instead of just username
by Cliff Hayes 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

I am trying to configure a new IMAP based mail server. I thought I had everything correct. I have dovecot logging turned up and see that dovecot is processing the entire email address as the username like this... Oct 2 14:52:20 servername dovecot: auth: Debug: pam(testuser(a)domain.com,1.2.3.4): lookup service=dovecot ... and of course pam is reporting that as an invalid user. Moments ago when all was mbox, authentication worked fine. I can see Thunderbird has the username correct (no domain). What is tacking on the domain and how do I fix? Thanks in advance.

two dovecot instances
by jjhoffart 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Hello, I am currently trying to setup two invocations of dovecot to run on a debian based server. One for director and the other a stock debian instance. The issue I am having is when I go to start the director instance, I receive multiple errors telling me that the listening ports are already in use. I have change these ports in the 10-master.conf file but am still presented with the same errors when starting the second instance. Is this the only file in which the ports need to be changed (10-master.conf) or is there another file in which the ports need to be set?

Simply mysql quota check
by Alfredo Saldanha 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Hi there, I'm setting up a new email server with Dovecot(2.2.9) and MySQL. My Dovecot configuration: #/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf service quota-warning { executable = script /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh user = dovecot unix_listener quota-warning { user = vmail } } plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u@%d quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u@%d args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext } #/etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext password_query = \ SELECT username AS user, value AS password \ FROM mailboxes WHERE username = '%n@%d' user_query = \ SELECT username, domain, \ CONCAT('*:storage=', SUBSTRING_INDEX(quota, 'm', 1)*1048576) AS userdb_quota_rule \ FROM mailboxes, domains WHERE mailboxes.username = '%n@%d' \ AND domains.domain = '%d' My idea is when a message is delivered, the dovecot to check quota in the mysql according to the value received in the "user_query" but he does not. It shows a value of 2GB that I don't know where it gets. I execute a manual query in mysql to know the quota my test user and checked that are 5GB, but when I see the dovecot, it shows 2G. SELECT username, domain, CONCAT('*:bytes=', SUBSTRING_INDEX(quota, 'm', 1)*1048576) AS userdb_quota_rule FROM mailboxes, domains WHERE mailboxes.username = 'junix(a)domain.com' AND domains.domain = 'domain.com' +-------------------+----------------+--------------------+ | username | domain | userdb_quota_rule | +-------------------+----------------+--------------------+ | junix(a)domain.com | domain.com | *:bytes=5242880000 | +-------------------+----------------+--------------------+ $ sudo doveadm quota get -u junix Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 10 2097152 0 User quota MESSAGE 1 - How would the setting to simply verify the quota of users as userdb_quota_rule this query?

you almost certainly have a missing closing bracket or double quote somewhere.
