dovecot - Feb 2007 - domain truncated

Hi all,

I have a problem with domain information being truncated from username
during ldap search, so it can not be used in mail_location. This
happens when user part of the username %n is used in pass_filter in
passdb ldap search. When I use %u all username information remains and
mailbox can be located.

Here is my configuration.

In dovecot.conf I have two locations one for system and one for virtual users:
...
mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%n
mail_location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/vdom/%d/%n
...

Also two configurations for passdb:
...
  passdb ldap {
    args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf
  }

  passdb ldap {
    args = /etc/dovecot-ldap-virt.conf
  }
...

Here info is searched in ldap: /etc/dovecot-ldap-virt.conf
...
base = dc=%d,ou=Virtual Domains,dc=eunet,dc=yu
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%n))
...

And the line in log file stating that maildir can not be located:

mkdir(/var/spool/mail/vdom//cone/cur) failed: Permission denied


Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong.

Thank You,
Nemanja

What does:
ls -ld /var/spool/mail/vdom/
tells you?

Can dovecot user create new folders there?

Your pass_attrs probably has "uid=user" in it. This makes the username
same as the uid field's contents, so since you don't have domain in it
that's dropped. You could just remove the "uid=user" from
pass_attrs to
fix it.
