Hi,

maybe this question already came up and I missed it in my mails, but if not… :

I have configured Quota for Dovecot since decades and now with the new policy service, I wanted to include this into Postfix. I have followed Ralf's Blog and there a two Problems:

I need to do this:

ls -la /var/run/dovecot/config srw------- 1 root root 0 May 14 11:06 /var/run/dovecot/config

chown vmail /var/run/dovecot/config

ls -la /var/run/dovecot/config srw------- 1 vmail root 0 May 14 11:06 /var/run/dovecot/config

Where can I tell Dovecot to set user vmail here? If I do not do this, I get the following error in the logs:

May 14 10:54:50 mx0 dovecot: quota-status(c@roessner-network-solutions.com): Error: user c@roessner-network-solutions.com: Error reading configuration: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/config) failed: Permission denied

Also the following test does not succeed:

telnet localhost 12340 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. request=smtpd_access_policy sender=foo@bar.tld recipient=c@roessner-network-solutions.com size=10000000000

action=

^] telnet> quit Connection closed.

Nothing in the logs. Just an empty answer.

Here is my config:

Thanks for helping me…
