[Dovecot] trash plugin and LDA
by dovecot＠corwyn.net 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

I just switched from the default postfix LDA to the dovecot LDA, deliver, and am looking into what new features I have. The wiki references the trash plugin with imap. Can I also enable trash with the lda? Rick Rick Steeves http://www.sinister.net "The journey is the destination"

After, I restarted dovecot with expire plugin, and when a first mail arrived in one of these folder, a line is created in mysql table. But nothing is deleted in my Trash/Pubs/Junk folder. I'm waiting for 3 days. (first mail arrived in these folder on 2009/02/08). Any ideas? Have I to use cronjob/find to delete the expired mail? Regards, -- -Nicolas.

[Dovecot] Quota not reporting with getquotaroot
by dovecot＠corwyn.net 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

I'm running squirrelmail on top of dovecot, and noticed that some of my users display the quota (using the squirrelmail plugin check_quota) and some don't. So I did some digging. For those that do not display the quota, their account also doesn't provide any data with: . getquotaroot inbox * QUOTAROOT "inbox" . OK Getquotaroot completed. When I check the account /Maildir folder it has info in maildirsize 0S 12744423 10 334 1 483685 1 and when I delete the maildirsize file it recreates. any ideas? thx.

[Dovecot] Different protocols with different auth-types
by Morton.Trust 21 Feb '09

21 Feb '09

Hello, I have installed dovecot with MySQL in which the users are stored. Now I want to separate IMAP-Users from POP3-Users. So I added two columns to the user table (imap / pop3) which indicates, whether the user has access to IMAP or not. In order to get dovecot recognizing this separation I put the auth-config into the two protocol-sections and wrote two different dovecot-sql.conf-files. In the dovecot-sql-pop3.conf the query searches for pop3=1 and in the dovecot-sql-imap.conf it searches for imap=1. Done that, I expected POP3-Only-Users getting an error while trying to connect to the IMAP-service. But dovecot first tries to authenticate for IMAP and then uses the POP3-auth as fallback. How can I do this separation? Thanks a lot, Morton -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Different-protocols-with-different-auth-types-tp22085… Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

by Osvaldo Alvarez Pozo 20 Feb '09

Hi Actually I use quota. But I would like to use dict quota car with dict quota it is possible to view the used quota. But I do not understand the configuration off dict quota. if the quota is stored in mysql wich do I have to specify quota values in plugin section as chown in the dovecot web site? exemples: dict { quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot-dict-quota.conf } plugin { # v1.0: 10MB and 1000 messages quota limit quota = dict:storage=10240:messages=1000 proxy::quotadict # v1.1 + SQL: quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule = *:storage=10M:messages=1000 Thanks

[Dovecot] ACL plugin when file in Maildir is not a directory
by Thomas Hummel 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hello Timo, On a production (by that I mean many users) dovecot-1.1.8/Maidir server where ACL plugin has been enabled, I ran on a log verbosity problem : For some reason (in fact, due to mbox -> Maildir migration script), some people have in their Maildir a .procmail.logfile file. The problem is that dovecot (or the ACL plugin) wants to find a dovecot-acl file in what it would like to be a directory, and then complains : dovecot: IMAP(xxxxxxxx): open(/courriel/boites/xxxxxxxx/.procmail.logfile/dovecot-acl) failed: Not a directory Such a behavior makes the log file grow too much too quickly. Note that my setup regarding log verbosity is at its minimal/default (except for proctitle) : verbose_ssl = no verbose_proctitle = yes auth_verbose = no mail_debug = no auth_debug = no auth_debug_passwords = no One more thing : would I have a log (or in what verbosity setup would I have one) line complaining about no-acl in the system wide acl directory : acl = vfile:/opt/dovecot/dovecot-acls:cache_secs=300 as a matter of fact, /opt/dovecot/dovecot-acls is empty for me (I don't need it for now). thanks -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel(a)pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau

[Dovecot] v1.2 can't set ACL to empty string
by Sascha Wilde 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hi *, according to RfC4314 the rights argument to the setacl command might be an empty string ("zero right characters"): The third argument is a string containing an optional plus ("+") or minus ("-") prefix, followed by zero or more rights characters. existing clients (horde in particular) actually use this to remove all rights from an user. Currently dovecot 1.2 does not accept an empty rights string as argument to setacl. Bernhard Herzog will look into this. cheers sascha -- Sascha Wilde OpenPGP key: 4BB86568 http://www.intevation.de/~wilde/ http://www.intevation.de/ Intevation GmbH, Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabrück; AG Osnabrück, HR B 18998 Geschäftsführer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner
