[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

[Dovecot] Quotas with MySQL
by Neil Smith 07 Sep '06

07 Sep '06

Hello, I've had a look through past messages and I think this has been brought up but I'm not sure what the outcome of it was. I'm trying to use quotas with a MySQL dict backend. I am using Dovecot version 1.0.rc6-1 from the Debian Testing package on a x86 machine. My dovecot.conf file has the following entries which I took from the Wiki: dict { quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf } plugin { quota = dict:storage=10240 proxy::quotadict } and my dovecot-dict-quota.conf looks like the following, again from the Wiki: connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mail user=<user> password=<passwd> table = quota select_field = current where_field = path username_field = username and my MySQL table is as follows: create table quota ( username varchar(255) not null, path varchar(255) not null, current integer, primary key (username, path) ); Now with this setup, the query for looking up the current quota appears in the MySQL logs as: SELECT current FROM quota WHERE path = 'quota/storage' AND username = 'neil(a)example.com' and the query for Inserting/Updating the quota is: BEGIN;INSERT INTO quota (current, path, username ) VALUES ('quota/storage', 0, 'neil(a)example.com') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE current = current + 0;COMMIT With latter query, it appears to be trying to insert 'quota/storage' into `current` and 0 into `path`. This seems to be the wrong way around. Is that correct? If I change my dovecot-dict-quota.conf file to read: connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mail user=<user> password=<passwd> table = quota select_field = path where_field = current username_field = username the two queries now look like: SELECT path FROM quota WHERE current = 'quota/storage' AND username = 'neil(a)example.com' and BEGIN;INSERT INTO quota (path, current, username ) VALUES ('quota/storage', 0, 'neil(a)example.com') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE current = current + 0;COMMIT Although the latter query now works as expected and does update the quota in the database, the former query is now incorrect. Is this a problem with my configuration or is it a bug? If a bug, has it been corrected in Version 1.0.rc7? Thank you all. Neil

[Dovecot] Using Dovecot SASL with postfix
by Jonathan Stewart 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

I'm trying to use Dovecot SASL with postfix 2.3.3 and when trying to send mail I get the debug output below. I don't know enough about whats going on to know where the problem is but something clearly is not right. I would send the configurations for postfix and dovecot except they are clearly talking to each other so I kinda doubt its a configuration issue. The machine can afford to be down for an hour or two at a time for testing stuff if needed. Sep 6 12:04:10 server postfix/smtpd[13555]: connect from mobile-166-137-248-219.mycingular.net[166.137.248.219] Sep 6 12:04:17 server dovecot: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=smtp Sep 6 12:04:17 server dovecot: auth(default): client out: CONT 1 Sep 6 12:04:18 server dovecot: auth(default): client in: CONT 1 jonathan Sep 6 12:04:18 server dovecot: auth(default): plain(?): invalid input Sep 6 12:04:19 server dovecot: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 Sep 6 12:04:19 server postfix/smtpd[13555]: warning: mobile-166-137-248-219.mycingular.net[166.137.248.219]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: Sep 6 12:04:20 server postfix/smtpd[13555]: lost connection after AUTH from mobile-166-137-248-219.mycingular.net[166.137.248.219] Sep 6 12:04:20 server postfix/smtpd[13555]: disconnect from mobile-166-137-248-219.mycingular.net[166.137.248.219] A working auth looks like this, I'm thinking that IMAP versus SMTP should not be *too* big a difference in this case.

[Dovecot] configuration issues / virtual users
by Zbigniew Szalbot 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Hello, It is my first post on this list and I hope someone will be able to help. I have installed dovecot on FreeBSD 6.1. Everything works fine but I wanted to create a way to accept mail to a few virual users and decied to use and example from http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualhostingWithExim auth = default auth_userdb = static uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/dovecot/users/%u auth_passdb = passwd-file /home/dovecot/passwd auth_user = dovecot I altered the uid and gid and made sure I have the directories ready and passwd file ok. I altered the conf file to read the following: userdb static { # Template for settings. Can return anything a userdb could normally # return, eg.: uid, gid, home, mail, nice # # A few examples: # # args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/var/mail/%u # args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/home/%u mail=mbox:/home/%u/mail nice=10 # #args = # dovecot virtual users auth_userdb = static uid=1003 gid=1003 home=/home/dovecot/users/%u auth_passdb = passwd-file /home/dovecot/passwd auth_user = dovecot ) However, dovecot complains: Error: Error in configuration file /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf line 752: Unknown setting: auth_userdb Where did I go wrong? I hope someone can help me. Thanks! Warm regards from Poland, Zbyszek
