Dovecot writing to mailbox user@domain
by John Oliver 06 Oct '14

centOS 6.5, dovecot-2.0.9-7.el6_5.1.x86_64 This is frustrating, because I had it working before... I could deliver an email to a user user@domain, then connect to dovecot IMAP and see the mail, no problem! Then I was told we had to use cyrus, and I was dealing with it for a few weeks. Now we're back to dovecot, and the last backup I had of that config has postfix delivering mail to /var/vmail/username as I want and expect, but dovecot looks for and creates /var/vmail/user@domain which I DON'T want [joliver@test ~]$ dovecot -n # 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.5 (Final) ext4 auth_username_format = %Lu mail_access_groups = mail mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%u/Maildir mail_privileged_group = mail mbox_write_locks = fcntl passdb { driver = pam } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } protocols = imap ssl_cert = </etc/pki/dovecot/certs/dovecot.pem ssl_key = </etc/pki/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem userdb { driver = passwd } userdb { args = uid=504 gid=505 home=/var/vmail/%u driver = static } [joliver@test ~]$ cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext hosts = localhost auth_bind = no ldap_version = 3 debug_level = 0 default_pass_scheme = SSHA base = ou=Users,dc=test,dc=com scope = subtree pass_filter = (&(objectClass=user)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password -- *********************************************************************** * John Oliver http://www.john-oliver.net/ * * * ***********************************************************************

How best to confirm that dovecot LDA logging is working correctly?
by Ben Johnson 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

Hello! I've posted to the list several times about a strange issue I'm having with dovecot LDA. When dovecot-lda is called in the context of a pipe script that is executed as the "vmail" user via the Dovecot Antispam plugin, dovecot-lda exits prematurely with status code 134. The dovecot deliver manual at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA#logging states very clearly, "If dovecot-lda fails to write to log files it exits with temporary failure." That's a curious note, because I believe that a "temporary failure" exit code may be what I'm dealing with here. When I drag an email from Inbox to SPAM to trigger Antispam, I see only this (and no further output beyond the last line) in syslog, which is the configured logging destination for LDA: imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(Junk): 0 imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(INBOX): 0 imap: antispam: mailbox_is_trash(Junk): 0 imap: antispam: mail copy: from trash: 0, to trash: 0 imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(INBOX): 0 imap: antispam: mailbox_is_spam(Junk): 1 imap: antispam: mailbox_is_unsure(INBOX): 0 imap: antispam: mail copy: src spam: 0, dst spam: 1, src unsure: 0 imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program /bin/bash imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program /bin/bash imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program parameter 1 /usr/local/bin/sa-learn-pipe.sh imap: antispam: running mailtrain backend program parameter 2 --spam By contrast, if I "su" to the "vmail" user and call the LDA executable with the same arguments that my pipe script does, I see all of the expected output in syslog, AND the message is delivered successfully: /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d "sa-training(a)localhost.com" -m "Training.SPAM" -p "/tmp/sendmail-msg-25169.txt" lda: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules lda: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib10_quota_plugin.so lda: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib90_sieve_plugin.so lda: Debug: auth input: sa-training(a)localhost.com home=/var/vmail/localhost.com/sa-training mail=maildir:/var/vmail/localhost.com/sa-training/Maildir uid=5000 gid=5000 quota_rule=*:storage=0B sieve=/var/vmail/localhost.com/sa-training/.sieve lda: Debug: Added userdb setting: mail=maildir:/var/vmail/localhost.com/sa-training/Maildir lda: Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:storage=0B lda: Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/sieve=/var/vmail/localhost.com/sa-training/.sieve lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Effective uid=5000, gid=5000, home=/var/vmail/localhost.com/sa-training lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota root: name=user backend=dict args=:file:/var/vmail/localhost.com/sa-training/.quotausage lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota rule: root=user mailbox=* bytes=0 messages=0 lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota rule: root=user mailbox=Trash bytes=+104857600 messages=0 lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota rule: root=user mailbox=Junk ignored lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota rule: root=user mailbox=INBOX bytes=+104857600 messages=0 lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=0 (100%) messages=0 reverse=no command=quota-reached 100 sa-training(a)localhost.com localhost.com lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=0 (95%) messages=0 reverse=no command=quota-warning 95 sa-training(a)localhost.com localhost.com lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=0 (80%) messages=0 reverse=no command=quota-warning 80 sa-training(a)localhost.com localhost.com lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=0 (100%) messages=0 reverse=yes command=quota-below below sa-training(a)localhost.com localhost.com lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota grace: root=user bytes=0 (10%) lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: dict quota: user=sa-training(a)localhost.com, uri=file:/var/vmail/localhost.com/sa-training/.quotausage, noenforcing=0 lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: maildir++: root=/var/vmail/localhost.com/sa-training/Maildir, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=/var/vmail/localhost.com/sa-training/Maildir, alt= lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota root: name=user backend=dict args=:file:/var/vmail//raw mail user/.quotausage lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=0 (100%) messages=0 reverse=no command=quota-reached 100 raw mail user lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=0 (95%) messages=0 reverse=no command=quota-warning 95 raw mail user lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=0 (80%) messages=0 reverse=no command=quota-warning 80 raw mail user lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota warning: bytes=0 (100%) messages=0 reverse=yes command=quota-below below raw mail user lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Quota grace: root=user bytes=0 (10%) lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: dict quota: user=raw mail user, uri=file:/var/vmail//raw mail user/.quotausage, noenforcing=0 lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: none: root=, index=, indexpvt=, control=, inbox=, alt= lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: Destination address: sa-training(a)localhost.com (source: user@hostname) lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: sieve: Pigeonhole version 0.4.2 initializing lda(sa-training(a)localhost.com): Debug: sieve: include: sieve_global_dir is not set;

Is there some way to determine what's happening? I've posted coredump and trace information previously, and nobody replied. Thanks for any help! -Ben

Help with shared folder
by Gianluca Calloni 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

Hi dovecot guru.. I need some help configuring shared folder in my server.. This is the situation: DOVECOT 2.0.19 with POSTFIX - CLAMAV - AMAVISD - SPAMASSASSIN This is the production server and sharing folder between user work.. But i need some explanation.. 1) It's possible to share only a subfolder (E.G. => .INBOX.ESTERO) without share the main folder .INBOX? 2) Which is the best way (or best practice) to manage the dovecot-acl and dovecot-acl-list file?? Actually, i modifiy the dovecot-acl by hand (vi editor). but every time i modify it i need to restart the dovecot server to apply the configuration. And i need to reset the /var/run/dovecot/dict owner and group cause with dovecot restart the file go back in root:root owner - group Thank's in advance. Gianluca

v2.2.14.rc1 released
by Timo Sirainen 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.14.rc1.tar.gz http://dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2.14.rc1.tar.gz.sig I've wanted to do this release for months now, but I keep being too busy all the time. This release fixes several important bugs and a lot of smaller ones. Because there are such a large number of changes I thought I'd make this release candidate release first and the final v2.2.14 early next week. I usually read through the Dovecot mailing list mails before making a new release to see if there are some (important) bugs reported, but I've been way too busy recently to read through everything. I still have over 250 unread mails and I don't think I'll have time to read them anytime soon. On the positive side the Dovecot company is now hiring more people. Especially having more Dovecot coders would reduce my work load and maybe allow me to go back to reading the Dovecot mailing list daily.. See: http://www.dovecot.fi/dovecot-is-hiring-software-engineer-helsinki/ (you can do this work anywhere - no need to live in Finland) http://www.dovecot.fi/dovecot-is-hiring-operations-and-support-engineer-hel… (this probably requires living in Finland) http://www.dovecot.fi/dovecot-is-hiring-technical-pre-sales-engineer-helsin… (probably no need to live in Finland) Here are some of the larger changes since v2.2.13: * lmtp: Delivered-To: header no longer contains <> around the email address. Other MDAs don't have it either. * "Out of disk space" errors are now treated as temporary errors (not the same as "Out of disk quota"). * replication plugin: Use replication only for users who have a non-empty mail_replica setting. + lmtp proxy: Log a line about each mail delivery. + Added login_source_ips setting. This can be used to set the source IP address round-robin from a pool of IPs (in case you run out of TCP ports). + Rawlog settings can use tcp:<host>:<port> as the path. + virtual plugin: Don't keep more than virtual_max_open_mailboxes (default 64) number of backend mailboxes open. + SSL/TLS compression can be disabled with ssl_options=no_compression + acl: Global ACL file now supports "quotes" around patterns. + Added last-login plugin to set user's last-login timestamp on login. + LDAP auth: Allow passdb credentials lookup also with auth_bind=yes - IMAP: MODSEQ was sent in FETCH reply even if CONDSTORE/QRESYNC wasn't enabled. This broke at least old Outlooks. - passdb static treated missing password field the same as an empty password field. - mdbox: Fixed potential infinite looping when scanning a broken mdbox file. - imap-login, pop3-login: Fixed potential crashes when client disconnected unexpectedly. - imap proxy: The connection was hanging in some usage patterns. This mainly affected older Outlooks. - lmtp proxy: The proxy sometimes delivered empty mails in error situations or potentially delivered truncated mails. - fts-lucene: If whitespace_chars was set, we may have ended up indexing some garbage words, growing the index size unnecessarily. - -c and -i parameters for dovecot/doveadm commands were ignored if the config socket was readable. - quota: Quota recalculation didn't include INBOX in some setups. - Mail headers were sometimes added to dovecot.index.cache in wrong order. The main problem this caused was with dsync+imapc incremental syncing when the second sync thought the local mailbox had changed. - doveadm backup didn't notice if emails were missing from the middle of the destination mailbox. Now it deletes and resyncs the mailbox.

by Bob Miller 05 Oct '14

Hi, I am chasing a problem with sieve vacation messages. the sieve file looks like this: ## Generated by Roundcube Webmail SieveRules Plugin ## require ["copy","vacation"]; # rule:[computerisms.ca] if anyof (address :contains "To" "bob.miller(a)ctfn.ca", address :contains "Cc" "bob.miller(a)ctfn.ca") { redirect :copy "bob(a)computerisms.ca"; vacation :days 66 :subject "autotest" "hello back"; } The mail is forwarded, but no vacation response is sent, and the mail is not forwarded. I find the lda error like this: _discarding_vacation_response_for_implicitly_delivered_message; _no_known_(envelope)_recipient_address_found_in_message_headers_ (recipient=<bob.miller(a)hostname.domain.tld>,_and_no_additional_ `:addresses'_are_specified) I am presuming this is the source of my problem. I am not sure why the domain is being modified to reflect the fqdn of the mail server host. When I look at the delivered mail, I find the following two headers: X-sieve-redirected-from: bob.miller(a)hostname.domain.tld Delivered-to: bob.miller(a)domain.tld I have been looking for a while now, and I can't figure out where it is picking up the hostname from. doveconf -a | grep hostname comes up empty. the hostname is not in any of the mta config files. Anyone got a hint? -- Computerisms Bob Miller 867-334-7117 / 867-633-3760 http://computerisms.ca

Dovecot does not update maildirsize after expunge
by Király Balázs 04 Oct '14

Hello, At the first, sorry for my englishJ I have a problem with dovecot quota since i migrated from courier. Dovecot does not update the Maildirsize after expunge, and the user running out of his quota very quickly. I checked, the file is deleted from the filesystem. If i delete the Maildirsize file, dovecot regenerate it with the correct datas when a new mail arrive. Also tried to set mail_debug=yes, but it doesnt show anything in the log, when delete mails. Im using NFS as homedirs, i tried to turn off the releated options in configuration, but didnt help. Has anyone any idea how to fix this issue? Thank you!

Configure antispam plugin with private namespaces

When I use antispam plugin <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Antispam> with a folder that is outside a namespace, the plugin works great.

Thunderbird ignores some folders
by dovecot.pkoch＠dfgh.net 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Dear readers we are using Dovecot 2.2.7 and all of our users are using Thunderbird as their mail client. Some of them additionally use their iPad/iPhone and a very few an Android Mail-Client. Now one user noticed that two of his mail folders disappeared. He first believed that he accidentally deleted those folders but then he realized that they are still visible from his iPad. I checked this users maildir and everything looks normal. Deleting the index-files made no difference: New index-files were created but those two folders are still invisable from Thunderbird. My main concern is to find the reason for this behaviour. Maybe folders of other users have disappeared and they have not yet noticed. A fresh installation of Thunderbird will most likely fix this single users problem, but I cannot do this for all of our users. So here's my question: How would I debug such a situation? Kind regards Peter Koch And here's our config file: # Dovecot configuration file default_process_limit = 2048 protocols = imap listen = * base_dir = /var/dovecot/ mail_location = maildir:/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/naev+chain.crt ssl_key = </etc/ssl/private/naev.key ssl_ca = </etc/ssl/certs/naev-ca.crt ssl_verify_client_cert = yes ssl_cert_username_field = x500UniqueIdentifier auth_ssl_username_from_cert = yes service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 0 } } service auth { client_limit = 4096 } service anvil { client_limit = 5000 } passdb { driver = checkpassword args = /usr/dovecot/bin/checkpassword } userdb { driver = passwd override_fields = home=/mail/%u } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 1000 }

LDA randomly failing to write email to disk
by Andy Dills 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

We're using 2.2.13 with pigeonhole 0.4.3, in a clustered environment (maildir on netapp, dual dovecot instances where each server is both a proxy and a backend). Every now and then (once a month per user, maybe?), users will see a blank email in their inbox. Investigating further, and we will see that the only information recorded in the maildir file for the message is the Return-Path, the Delivered-To, and the first Received line (the one generated by the local LDA via LMTP). For example, here is what I found in one such email today: Return-Path: <xxx(a)xecu.net> Delivered-To: <yyy(a)xecu.net> Received: from mail5.xecu.net ([10.0.1.85]) by mail2.xecu.net (Dovecot) with LMTP idX86eBjgaI1RdyQAA3SxDBg for <yyy(a)xecu.net>; Wed, 24 Sep 2014 15:24:20 -0400 Everything past that is lost, as if the either the LDA on mail2 exited early or was never sent the information from the dovecot instance on mail5. Here is a little more detail from the header of the same email, different recipient (all other recipients received the email properly, only one failed to receive properly): Return-Path: <xxx(a)xecu.net> Delivered-To: <yyz(a)xecu.net> Received: from mail5.xecu.net ([10.0.1.85]) by mail1.xecu.net (Dovecot) with LMTP id KPh8ItMXI1StBAAA/c3zFg for <yyz(a)xecu.net>; Wed, 24 Sep 2014 15:24:20 -0400 Received: from mail5.xecu.net by mail5.xecu.net (Dovecot) with LMTP id QsUBFoQZI1RjhgAAXyr1JQ ; Wed, 24 Sep 2014 15:24:20 -0400 Received: from mail5.xecu.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mail5.xecu.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 30AAE323BB18; Wed, 24 Sep 2014 15:24:20 -0400 (EDT) ... This is what I see in the logs of mail2, which is where the failure happened: Sep 24 15:24:20 mail2 dovecot: lmtp(51549, yyy(a)xecu.net) X86eBjgaI1RdyQAA3SxDBg: sieve: msgid=unspecified: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' When I look at the logs of mail1, which is where the successful delivery happened: Sep 24 15:24:20 mail1 dovecot: lmtp(1197, yyz(a)xecu.net) KPh8ItMXI1StBAAA/c3zFg: sieve: msgid=<20140924192412.1435.qmail(a)xxx.xecu.net>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Nothing of note seems to be logged on mail5 (only a message from postfix, nothing from the proxy side of the lmtp). I do notice, when I check for the PID of 51549 in the logs, all of its other transactions seem to register with proper msgids and were delivered fine. Also, I notice plenty of other messages that have the msgid=unspecified error, but which were delivered with no problems and not truncated, so I'm suspecting what may be happening is that somehow the backend instance is not receiving the actual data portion, and only getting the envelope from proxy instance. How do I approach debugging this? It's very infrequent, but yet quite annoying. Seems to have started since we upgraded to 2.2.13 (from an older 2.1 build) earlier this year. Thanks, Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---

GETMETADATA UTF8 encoding of folder names instead of UTF7
by Bartłomiej Nogaś 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Hello, I have dovecot 2.2.13 instance and I found that (at least for polish language) folder names in GETMETADATA command response are encoded in UTF8. Shouldn't it be converted to UTF7? Both SETMETADATA and GETMETADATA arguments have to be encoded in UTF7, the problem(?) is related only to server response example: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready. . login user pass . OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS SPECIAL-USE BINARY MOVE METADATA QUOTA ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in .

home from SQL
by Ralf Hildebrandt 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Currently I'm using user_query = SELECT 1000 AS uid, 1000 AS gid, '/srv/vmail/%2.256Hu/%Lu' AS home, ... so I'm hashing based on %u (basically). But in my SQL db I have a "unique_identifier" field, which never changes, even when the user is changing his/her email address (due to marriage or the like). What I'd really like to do is to use %u to find the value of the unique_identifier field, hash THAT value and use "AS home". But how? That way I can rename users without shuffling directories around the filesystem. -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein

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?

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.
