[Dovecot] Problem with ldap / quotas

[Nikolaos Milas]

Thanks Timo,

In the end, I figured things out.

Below are the changes to my initial configuration; now everything works 
fine.

Just a note about a detail which took me some time to sort out: In 
postfix master.cf, in LDA setup documentation, the suggested 
configuration is:

dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f 
${sender} -d ${recipient}

However, in my case, the working solution uses {user} rather than 
{recipient}, as - at the end - we just use the username for mailbox 
delivery and {recipient} is inappropriate in this context. I feel that 
this scenario is not rare in postfix/dovecot/LDAP implementations.

Config file changes follow:
------------------------------
# /etc/postfix/main.cf

mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver
...
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
virtual_transport = dovecot

------------------------------
# /etc/postfix/master.cf

dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f 
${sender} -d ${user}
------------------------------
# /etc/dovecot.conf

protocol lda {
postmaster_address = postmaster at noa.gr
sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
log_path =
info_log_path =
mail_plugins = quota
}
-----------------------------
# /etc/dovecot.conf, in listen {...

master {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode = 0660
user = vmail
group = vmail
}
-----------------------------

Thanks again,
Nick
