Testing using the mysql dict for quota storage
(dovecot-2.0.12-2_127.el5), and ran into a couple issues. First is a
permissions issue:
dovecot: lmtp(26786, dude at test.tld): Error:
net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/dict) failed: Permission denied
(euid=5000(<unknown>) egid=5000(<unknown>) missing +r perm:
/var/run/dovecot/dict, euid is not dir owner)
The file /var/run/dovecot/dict is listed with srw------- perms. I
changes the perms to srw----rwx and it works, but I would like to figure
out how to configure properly to run with the uid and gid 5000 as this
is the user for virtual mail.
The second issue is that two identical rows are created in the mysql
database for each user quota. The next message delivered updates both
rows. Here is my quota config:
90-quota.conf:
plugin {
quota_rule = *:storage=10G
quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%
}
plugin {
quota = dict:user::proxy::userquota
}
dict {
userquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
}
dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext:
connect = host=a.b.c.d dbname=mail user=user password=derp
map {
pattern = priv/quota/storage
table = domain_user_quotas
username_field = username
value_field = bytes
}
map {
pattern = priv/quota/messages
table = domain_user_quotas
username_field = username
value_field = message_count
}
The last issue might be a documentation omission. Dovecot warned me
that the mysql user did not have DELETE privileges on the quota table:
dovecot: dict: Error: sql dict: commit failed: DELETE command denied to
user 'user'@'a.b.c.d' for table 'domain_user_quotas'
The quota dict documentation (at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict)
does not mention DELETE being needed:
MySQL uses the following queries to update the quota. You need suitable
privileges.
INSERT INTO table (bytes,username) VALUES ('112497180','foo at
spam.dom') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE bytes='112497180';
INSERT INTO table (messages,username) VALUES ('1743','foo at
spam.dom') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE messages='1743';
UPDATE table SET bytes=bytes-14433,messages=messages-2 WHERE username = 'foo
at spam.dom';
