[Dovecot] clarify 'type', 'executable' & 'path' in 2.0 master.conf?

@2.0's master.conf, there's, e.g.,

 service config {
  type= config
  executable =config
  unix_listener {
   path = config
   mode = 0666
  }
 }

can someone please explain function/usage for the 'type',
'executable'
& 'path' fields?

and, for any file paths, are the presumed to be _relative_ to the
dovecot executable? in $PATH? can they accept full/absolute paths?

thanks.

There are a few internal special-case services and type specifies what  
type it is. So with type=config Dovecot knows that to reload  
configuration it needs to connect to that service.

executable is the binary name, relative to PKG_LIBEXECDIR. path inside  
unix_listener is the path to the unix socket where to listen for  
connections, relative to base_dir.

They don't use $PATH. Absolute paths are fine.

[Dovecot] Userdb prefetch vpopmail and autocreate plugin

Dear Sirs 

 Yesterday consulted regarding autocreate plugin. 

 Userdb is configured as prefetch and vpopmail. 

 I need to configure the plugin autocreate for users of some domains that have

[Dovecot] Autocreate plugin for some domains

Dear Timo,

Thanks for your reply. 

 In the case of having two domains, eg:

 dominio1.com 
 dominio2.com 

 And I just want to use the plugin autocreate for dominio2.com, how could
configure vchkpw-wrapper.sh?

 This would be the same logic if I want to use the plugin expires for certain
domains?

Thanks

[Dovecot] Autocreate plugin for some domains

Dear Timo, 

 I am currently using the vchkpw-wrapper.sh script to register users connected
to the server.

 So adding the configuration that tells me and would be as follows: 

#!/bin/bash

DOMAIN=`echo $USER|sed s/^.*@//`
if [ "$DOMAIN" = "domain2.com" ]; then
  export USERDB_AUTOCREATE=box1
  export USERDB_AUTOCREATE2=box2
  export EXTRA="USERDB_AUTOCREATE USERDB_AUTOCREATE2" 
fi

unset USER
exec $*

 This properly configured? 

 This would be the same procedure for using any plugins (Example expires) in a
certain domain?

Thanks

Jose Luis

[Dovecot] Autocreate plugin for some domains

Dear Timo, 

 I tried with the script you mentioned and did not create the directories are
configured.

Additionally I have made this modification: 

#!/bin/bash

DOMAIN=`echo $USER|sed s/^.*@//`
if [ "$DOMAIN" = "domain2.com" ]; then
  export USERDB_AUTOCREATE=INBOX.box1
  export USERDB_AUTOCREATE2=INBOX.box2
  export EXTRA="USERDB_AUTOCREATE USERDB_AUTOCREATE2"
fi

unset USER
exec $*


 But it does not work, and dovecot.log not log any information about the plugin
autocreate

In that I am wrong?

Thanks

Jose Luis

Are you sure this code gets called? Maybe add something here such as:

echo "yeah i got here" > /tmp/autocreate

What does it log with auth_debug=yes enabled?

[Dovecot] Autocreate plugin for some domains

Dear Timo,

I added the line you mentioned 

echo "yeah i got here" > /tmp/autocreate

and did not create the file /tmp/autocreate 

 This is the script with the real domain:

#!/bin/bash

DOMAIN=`echo $USER|sed s/^.*@//`
if [ "$DOMAIN" = "operaciones.qnet.com.pe" ]; then
  export USERDB_AUTOCREATE=INBOX.spam1
  export USERDB_AUTOCREATE2=INBOX.spam2
  export EXTRA="USERDB_AUTOCREATE USERDB_AUTOCREATE2"
  echo "yeah i got here" > /tmp/autocreate
fi

unset USER
exec $*

What could be happening?

Thanks
