Hello List,

Getting ready to setup a new dovecot sendmail squirrelmail server for our school which is currently running on a 4 year old install of the same, which has worked like a champ by the way.

EL5 dovecot-1.1 rc10 rpm sendmail squirrelmail

Problem: I can not get my dovecot 1.1 rc10(rpm) to generate an maildirsize file in each of the users homedir. I have re-edited the dovecot.conf file many many times but still no joy. If I uninstall and install the default dovecot 1.0.1x rpm that ships with EL5 i get the maildirsize file to generate correctly without a hitch. I am wanting to use the check_quota plugin for SM this time so I need to get this functioning correctly. How would I go about troubleshooting this. The only error I get in maillog is when I log into SM I do see were dovecot tries to check for the maildirsize file but it can not find it of course and then says " skipping quota check",,so I think I have my dovecot.conf file setup correctly. Dovecot is simply not generating the maildirsize file. Following lines added to the end of dovecot.conf file: protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota } # In case you're using deliver: protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota } plugin { quota = maildir quota_rule = *:storage=1GB # 10% of 1GB = 100MB quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=10%% # 20% of 1GB = 200MB quota_rule3 = Spam:storage=20%% }

,,I have reversed the above to have quota=maildir,,etc above the protocol directives as well and still no joy.

Sidenote: I also tried dovecot v1.1 rc5 rpm as well with the same results. Any tips from anyone would be appreciated.

Thanks, Barry Cisna
