[Dovecot] Create subfolder
by Hugo Dubé 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

I have dovecot on Fedora Core 5 and I want to create a subfolder. By default its impossible!!!! I setup dovecot for maildir and after I able to create a subfolder. But I cant receive my old and new email on this format. I read dovecot documentation at http://wiki.dovecot.org/QuestionsAndAnswers#head-35b621e067b7e72c1d1e47886f4 00a1a784bd95c and its write: For ordinary local Unix users, you may want to specify the mail environment as "maildir:%h/Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%n". There are two reasons. First, mail can be delivered there without consuming the user's disk quota on the home directory. Second, the user's home directory may prohibit access to any users other than the owner and the privileged user root. Having the INBOX outside the user's home directory permits mail delivery by programs running without root privileges, but belong to the group mail. I try it with maildir:%h/Maildir:INBOX=/var/mail/%n and dont work. I cant connect to my imap server. Help me please!!! Hugo

I have found the reason why i can not authenticate users using SHA1 passowds. Problem is dovecot stores sha1 as "sum of the password stored in base64" but mysql and exim store it in hex. Question is why, and does anyone have patch for it? Best regards, Tomasz Krynicki

[Dovecot] Virtual and system users
by Max A 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi. I can not understand, how at presence of system users (passdb shadow and userdb passwd) and virtual (for example, user(a)host.domain.com as system user and user(a)domain.com as virtual) to allow virtual users to not enter a domain part of username at a login, and to allow system users to use a full name (user(a)host.domain.com)? I have read the documentation and default config - I can not understand, how it can be made? If the parameter "auth_username_format = %n" worked inside of separate passdb{} and userdb{} sections, it can be realized, but it does not work inside of them :( . --- M. Alhimenko.

[Dovecot] quota infor @ wiki page
by OpenMacNews 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi matthias, reading the dovecot wiki page: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota that, apparently, you last edited (created?): Quota (last edited 2006-06-13 15:27:38 by MatthiasAndree) i note: " plugin { # 10 MB quota limit quota = maildir:storage=10240 # 1000 messages quota limit quota = maildir:messages=1000 # 10 MB + 1000 messages quota limit quota = maildir:storage=10240:messages=1000 } The above example shows how to set the same quota globally for everyone. You can override this for one or all users by returning a quota field from the user database. See UserDatabase for more information about how to set them for the user database you are using. Here is an example using a SQL-based user database: " i'm (currently) attempting to assign per-user quotas in a 'userdb static' scenario, where, in my dovecot.conf, i've: protocol imap { ... plugin { quota = maildir:storage=10240 } ... } auth default { ... passdb passwd-file { args = /var/MailServer/Data/USERS/imap.users } userdb static { args = static uid=300 gid=300 home=/var/MailServer/Mail/Dovecot/Domains/%d/Accounts/%n nice=10 } ... } so, per 'your' suggestion @ the wiki page, i nav to: http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase then: http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile where the example for userdb is given as: Or for passdb and userdb: user:{plain}pass:1000:1000::/home/user::mail=maildir:~/Maildir allow_nets=192.168.0.0/24 which, iiuc, would 'translate' to quota in my scenario as, in the "/var/MailServer/Data/USERS/imap.users" file: user:{plain}pass::::::quota=maildir:storage=4096 Unfortunately, when I do make this change, dovecot starts without error, BUT the given user's QUOTA *remains* at the global setting of (in this example) '10240'. i.e., the per-user override is, seemingly, not recognized. i'd make an add/change/comment *to* the wiki page, but it's set as an "Immutable Page". can you, perhaps, comment/clarify? any suggestions? many thanks! richard - -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X against HTML email, vCards / \ & micro$oft attachments [GPG] OpenMacNews at gmail dot com fingerprint: 50C9 1C46 2F8F DE42 2EDB D460 95F7 DDBD 3671 08C6 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkUBgJ8ACgkQlffdvTZxCMYHrQCaAtvv9WvetLoA0BVd8lLfIHa0 rosAoL3l3rNuBHwwJ+sLi3qqT4fw50bH =wl2c -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Dovecot] quota plugin feature request
by Michael Tibben 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi am having an issue with the quota plugin To reproduce: - have a mailbox close to its quota limit (say 10 MB), and a large email in the inbox (say 6 MB) - use Squirrelmail or Thunderbird to delete the email The operation fails, as by default the email client seems to try and copy the message into the Trash before deleting it from the inbox, and dovecot will correctly deny the copy operation as the quota will be exceeded if the message is copied... Because of this, I am wondering if it is possible to have an option for the quota plugin to track, but not enforce the quota. This is because I don't require quota enforcement on IMAP operations, as Postfix will enforce quota on incoming mail anyway. Attached is a quick hack job I did on the plugin to strip out the enforcing functionality, but it would be great if this could be a configurable option..

[Dovecot] dovecot ignoring config file contents -- istream.c problem?
by pavol marko 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Hello! This is my first time trying to run dovecot so maybe I've overlooked something, but I'm having a hard time running dovecot. First of all, it's worth noting that I'm trying to run dovecot on an embedded platform: the target architecture is mipsel; I have patches for the 2.4.18 kernel with special support for the board so I'm still using the 2.4.18 kernel. My C library is uClibc (I forget which version; will look it up later). The compiler I'm using is GCC 2.96. Anyway, after some struggling, I got dovecot to compile. These are my configure options: ./configure --prefix=/home/marko/ovis/myfirm/tmp/ --build=i686-linux --host=mipsel-uclibc-linux --disable-static --disable-rpath --disable-ipv6 --with-pic --with-notify=none --without-shadow --without-pam --with-checkpassword --without-bsdauth --without-vpopmail --without-ssl --without-pop3d --without-docs dovecot compiles and runs, but no matter what I put in dovecot.conf, it says something like "SSL support not build in but ssl_disable=no". I've even tried putting garbage into the config file (like hello=test ; on my desktop dovecot complains on that line, it is completly ignored on my embedded device). But when I delete the config file, dovecot complains. So I've done some printf-debugging in lib-settings/settings.c, and fount out that: control flow reaches the line input = i_stream_create_file(fd, default_pool, 2048, TRUE); but then no single iteration of the while loop is executed. Do you have any idea what could be wrong here? Any help is greatly appreciated ! Thank you. Pavol Marko
