[Dovecot] 2.1.5 problem with mail_location
by postmaster 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

I've been advised to set : mail_location = maildir:~/ as the home directory is found through a sql request. this has been working perfectly up to and including 2.1.4 from 2.1.5 however this setting gives cause to a problem : instead of looking in the mail home eg /var/mail/domain/user\@domain/ dovecot is looking for mail in /var/mail/domain/user\@domain/~ the '~' directory is created upon the first request for mail and all future mail transactions in dovecot is done relative to this folder. is this behavior a bug or a feature ??? -- Bjarne D Mathiesen København N ; Danmark ; Europa ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ denne besked er skrevet i et totalt M$-frit miljø MacOS X 10.7.3 Lion ; 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 ; 16GB 1067MHz DDR3

[Dovecot] dsync on large mailbox "fails"
by Jeff Kletsky 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

I've been trying to convert an existing set of mbox mail to maildir using dsync, but it seems to fail when it gets to the large boxes. $ dsync -Dv mirror maildir:~/Maildir Everything seems to work reasonably well until the first of the large boxes hits: dsync(jeff): Warning: Maildir /home/jeff/Maildir/.cron.2010-07-10: Synchronization took 1210 seconds (102289 new msgs, 0 flag change attempts, 0 expunge attempts) dsync(jeff): Warning: Transaction log file /home/jeff/Maildir/.cron.2010-07-10/dovecot.index.log was locked for 1210 seconds After this, the doveadm process goes from ~75% of the CPU core utilization to 100% and stays there, even overnight. I've also tried $ dsync -Dv backup maildir:~/Maildir with similar results. While I did see some threads on dsync speed, they seemed to be minutes for a few GB of data, not hours. There is plenty of space on the drive, and, from what I understand, there is not a file-count limit on FreeBSD's ufs (at least not one that I'm anywhere near) Any suggestions? Thanks!

[Dovecot] trash plugin bug?
by Cor Bosman 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

Hey all, has anyone ever tried turning on the trash plugin when the directory is already over quota? I see some messages being deleted, but it seems it just deletes enough to fit the new email, not enough to go below quota. Example: . getquotaroot "Spam" * QUOTAROOT "Spam" "User quota" "Spam Quota" * QUOTA "User quota" (STORAGE 591036 5242880) * QUOTA "Spam Quota" (STORAGE 21173 20480) I now move a 5K message into this folder, and I see: Apr 23 22:26:43 lmtp1 dovecot: imap(cor): expunge: box=Spam, uid=226337, msgid=<3YVKIIE4II6R0064BA7IM55C2Q4MD01VX12U1I(a)shedevils.com>, size=12984 Apr 23 22:26:43 lmtp1 dovecot: imap(cor): expunge: box=Spam, uid=226338, msgid=<aab6bffa3ad83767d4a7bc571c31449c(a)bonus-news.com>, size=5623 Apr 23 22:26:43 lmtp1 dovecot: imap(cor): save: box=Spam, uid=227759, msgid=<20120423191509.F3B584A355B(a)signal.groundspeak.com>, size=2694 And now: . getquotaroot "Spam" * QUOTAROOT "Spam" "User quota" "Spam Quota" * QUOTA "User quota" (STORAGE 591016 5242880) * QUOTA "Spam Quota" (STORAGE 21158 20480) . OK Getquotaroot completed. This seems like a possible bug. For one, it shouldnt be allowed to actually save a message into that folder, but it does. The email does end up in the Spam folder even though the folder is over quota. And of course it doesnt clear up enough space to have the new email fit, it just deleted enough to match the 5K. Without the trash plugin quota is being properly enforced. Everything works fine if you start out below the quota limit btw. Regards, Cor ps: this is 2.1.4, but with the recent trash and quota patches applied.

[Dovecot] Dovecot Virtual Users with Users Domain Mapping
by Piotr Maier 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

I have successfully compiled, configured and ran Dovecot with virtual users feature. Here's part of my /etc/dovecot.conf configuration file: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir auth default { mechanisms = plain login userdb passwd-file { args = /home/%d/etc/passwd } passdb passwd-file { args = /home/%d/etc/shadow } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-worker mode = 0600 } } } I faced one issue I can't resolve myself. Is there anyway to create users' domains mapping and provide username in mail_location? Example of usersdomains file: domain.com:user1 domain2.org:user3 Examples: 1. currently I have /home/domain.com/user/Maildir 2. I'd like to have /home/SYSTEM_USER/domain.com/user/Maildir Can I achieve this somehow?

[Dovecot] quota not being calculated
by Cor Bosman 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

It looks like my quota isnt being calculated properly after I started setting quota to a specific folder. The quota in that folder is always starting out at 0, and only new email is being added to the quota. If I remove the maildirsize file, and recalculate, it still starts at 0. Once email arrives in the folder, it gets added to maildirsize. This is with maildirquota, in perhaps a bit of an exotic config. The idea is to set a specific quota to Spam folder, using the trash plugin to keep it at a certain size. . getquotaroot "Spam" * QUOTAROOT "Spam" "User quota" "Spam quota" * QUOTA "User quota" (STORAGE 40848 1228800) * QUOTA "Spam quota" (STORAGE 0 20000) . OK Getquotaroot completed. Once 1 email gets added: .Spam# cat maildirsize 20480000S 0 0 2017 1 namespace { hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = maildir:%h:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/indexes/%1u/%2u/%u:CONTROL=/var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/%1u/%2u/%u/INBOX prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace spam { hidden = yes ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = yes location = maildir:%h/.Spam:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/indexes/%1u/%2u/%u/.Spam:CONTROL=/var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/%1u/%2u/%u/.Spam prefix = Spam/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = private } plugin { quota = fs:User quota quota2 = maildir:Spam quota:ns=Spam/ quota2_rule = *:storage=20000K sieve = /var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/sieve/%1u/%2u/%u/dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /etc/sieve/before sieve_dir = /var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/sieve/%1u/%2u/%u/scripts trash = /etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-trash.conf.ext } (full config: http://pastebin.com/Mui4X7Zh)
