[Dovecot] dirsize quota assertion problem
by Alan Ferrency 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

Our current virtual mailbox configuration is not compatible with one of the assertions in the dovecot quota plugin's assertions in quota-dirsize.c. I believe the assertion is incorrect, but I would also be happy if I could get the same result with a better configuration setting. Here is a sample passdb entry which causes the quota assertion to fail: test(a)example.com:<snip>:3007:1000::/usr/boxes/username/example.com::userdb_mail=mbox:~/test^/.imap:INBOX=~/test userdb_uid=3007 userdb_gid=1000 userdb_home=/usr/boxes/username/example.com userdb_quota=dirsize:storage=100 The imap folder is "~/test^/.imap" and the INBOX is "~/test". As you can see, these are in different locations, but the INBOX string happens to be a substring of the imap folder directory. An example of the failed assertion error: Aug 31 16:44:13 www2 dovecot: IMAP(test(a)example.com): file quota-dirsize.c: line 180 (quota_count_path_add): assertion failed: (!is_file) This particular error log line was generated by dovecot 1.0.3, but the code in quota-dirsize.c is the same in dovecot 1.1 alpha3's version of quota-dirsize.c: 131 if (strncmp(count_path[i].path, path, strlen(path)) == 0) { 132 /* the new path contains the existing path */ 133 i_assert(!is_file); 134 count_path += i; 135 break; 136 } First, quota_count_path_add() is called for directory "~/test^/.imap" and it succeeds. When it is subsequently called for file "~/test": - the strncmp matches because "~/test" is a substring of "~/test^/.imap" - the assertion fails because "~/test" is a file and not a directory It seems to me that instead of asserting !is_file, it would be better to simply skip the conditional in that case, since a path variable that is a file should never be tested to see whether it contains an existing path. if (!is_file && strncmp(count_path[i].path, path, strlen(path)) == 0) { /* the new path contains the existing path */ count_path += i; break; } But this also has a bug: if path is a directory which substring matches count_path[i].path, but the same path with a directory separator appended to it does not substring match count_path[i].path, then it is a different path and does not contain the existing path. For example, if count_path[i] is the directory /usr/home/test/mailbox_folders, and path is the directory /usr/home/test/mailbox, then /usr/home/test/mailbox does not contain/usr/home/test/mailbox_folders, and this condition should fail. If some other code were to enforce that /usr/home/test/mailbox be terminated with a directory separator, then this is not a problem and my patch should work. I hope this makes sense.

[Dovecot] Dovecot + virtual users
by bichumo 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Hi, I'm running FreeBSD, Dovecot, Postfix (virtual users), MySQL, Squirrelmail. I have installed squirrelmail-quota_usage-plugin, but I cannot make it work. It mentions "If you have an IMAP server with QUOTA Extension capability...". In dovecot.conf I have enabled "mail_plugins = quota" near protocol pop3 and protocol lda, near protocol imap I have "mail_plugins = quota imap_quota". Near " plugin { ..." I have "quota = maildir:storage=204800". I think that the problem of why I don't see quota in Squirrelmail is in file dovecot-sql near user_query. I have my users mailboxes in such format: /usr/local/virtual/domain.tld/username and my user_query looks like this: user_query = SELECT maildir, 125 AS uid, 125 AS gid, concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1', I think that in my user_query I'm missing something. I do not get any errors in the dovecot and dovecot-debug logs, everything works fine, but I still can't see quota.

[Dovecot] Deliver parameter problem!

Is there anybody having idea about this problem? thanks. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Deliver parameter problem Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2007 14:21:56 +0300 From: Umut Arus <umuta(a)sabanciuniv.edu> To: dovecot(a)dovecot.org Hello, I'm using dovecot-1.0.5 with postfix. I have to use deliver from procmail because I have some filters. There is no document about how to using deliver parameters (-d) other than http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA . If I set -d parameters manually as a username everything is ok. I can not set users' mail quota (don't lookup) with mysql db if I haven't set -d parameter as receipt username in procmail. How can I describe user (-d) parameter's variable in procmail?

[Dovecot] Datehandling bug?
by Ed W 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Hi, I am testing dovecot 1.0.3 alongside my existing courier installation and a number of my emails are heading to the top of the inbox even though they are rather old. Closer inspection shows that my mailclient (Thunderbird on Win32) is showing me some screwey dates for a number of messages. One example is an email which says: Date: 2007-08-21 11:42:43 But in TB I see the date shown as only: 03:27 ie just a time and no date OK, the date above is clearly not an RFC date, but any idea why this is showing up only under Dovecot? Is it a dovecot date handling issue? Cheers Ed W
