I investigated the deliver with quota’s bug a little more (rc10, mysql, virtual domains, maildir). My log files reads:

deliver(test@ruijs.cc): Info: msgid=<000f01c6fac1$bd4e8670$8801a8c0@Moskou>: save failed to INBOX

deliver(test@ruijs.cc): Info: sieve runtime error: Keep: Generic Error

deliver(test@ruijs.cc): Info: msgid=<000f01c6fac1$bd4e8670$8801a8c0@Moskou>: save failed to INBOX

deliver(test@ruijs.cc): Error: open(ruijs.cc/test//.temp.in2sports2.vianetworks.nl.13210.72d247ac698d0019) failed: No such file or directory

deliver(mark@ruijs.cc): Info: msgid=<dovecot-1162066721-407295-0@in2sports2.vianetworks.nl>: saved mail to Junk

Dovecot tries to deliver, but notices quota exceeded. I don’t think Sieve is playing a role here – I added Sieve before I encountered the problem.

Two problems:

1) The .dovecot.lda-dupes can’t be written (that’s what the open...failed notice is about).

2) The Quota Exceed mail seem to contain mal-formed headers (that’s why it the notice-mail ends in my junk-folder).

Digging into deliver.c, I noticed that auth_client_put_user_env() changes the HOME environment from /var/mail (which is ok), to ruijs.cc/test/ (which is the maildir, relative to /var/mail). And then fopen fails (see the trace below). So I think that the code

    auth_socket = getenv("AUTH_SOCKET_PATH");

    if (auth_socket == NULL)

      auth_socket = DEFAULT_AUTH_SOCKET_PATH;

    ret = auth_client_put_user_env(ioloop, auth_socket,

                 destination, process_euid);

    if (ret != 0)

      return ret;

    home = getenv("HOME");

    if (home != NULL) {

      /* If possible chdir to home directory so core file

         could be written. If it fails, don't worry. */

      (void)chdir(home);

is the key. Should the chdir be done *before* the call to auth_client_put_user_env()? I’m not familiar with the internal workings of the Dovecot LDA, so I won’t suggest a proper fix. Who will…

As for the mal-formed headers, I’ll take a look at it later.
