hey friends, I am running my company's mail server on FC3 which comprises of Postfix + Dovecot + MailScanner + Clamav + Squirrelmail + MailWatch + Spamassassin. I am using Dovecot 0.99.13-3 version on FC3 and I want to implement Quota limits for the users. I am using userdatabase as /etc/passwd file (auth_userdb = passwd ) and password database as pam(auth_passdb = pam) for dovecot. I read the documentation of dovecot but the quota example for /etc/passwd is missing. I want to have different quota limits for different users for example Quota limitation will depend upon the...

Hi all... The prefetch entry in the wiki says: "If you're using Dovecot's local delivery agent, you'll still need a valid userdb which it can use to locate the users. You can do this by adding a normal sql/ldap userdb after userdb prefetch." (http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Prefetch) My question is: Does it need to be a SQL/LDAP userdb? How about static or passwd? Thanks in advance :)

Trying to figure out the syntax to set a mail_location for SQL. This doesn't work: userdb { driver = sql args = /etc/dovecot/master-combined-sql.conf override_fields = mail_location=maildir:/fakedir/%d/%n:INBOX=/fakedir:LAYOUT=fs } Does anyone know the proper syntax? Thanks in advance

Hello all! First of all - sorry for my english. :-) Im working now on migration from cyrus to dovecot(v1.07). Everything work`s fine for now, but some parameters at dovecot conf a mystical for me. :-) dovecot-ldap.conf: user_attrs = mail #,homeDirectory,,,, user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(mail=%u)) pass_attrs = mail,userPassword=password pass_filter =

The wiki http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Static also says that it shouldn't be a problem because it will use do a passdb lookup instead (except for PAM which isn't used here).

Hello, I am setting up a new server and migrating my Dovecot 1.2.9 config to the new 2.2.9 version. There wasn't much to keep from the old version so I had to recreate the config from scratch. Now I think I'm done but I can't login to IMAP. The log says this: > dovecot: auth: Error: prefetch(box@****.de,2001:****:7765,<bzAOP5QJXwAgAQpgEAXJAZyOMB1qBXdl>): userdb lookup not

Hi, I thought I read that anything from dovecot.conf can be overridden in a userdb lookup. Or a passdb lookup with "userdb_" prefix. But I tried for fun change log_path but it never worked. Is that because logging is special, already started logging before it comes to the passdb/userdb lookups? So are there some dovecot.conf settings that cannot be overridden? Thanks!

...erride any mail-related setting from userdb. So for example if you have: > > namespace inbox { > mailbox Trash { > autoexpunge = 30d > } > } > > You can have your userdb return namespace/inbox/Trash/autoexpunge=90d extra field for other users. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields has some examples. Thank you, Timo! Can you return something like "namespace/inbox/*/autoexpuge=90d" to cover all the namespaces? And then override individual ones if necessary?

I know, but it is not present in the string returned by the userdb, which is set up for testing userdb { driver = static args = namespace/inbox/mailbox/Bla/autoexpunge=6h } On Tue, Jan 17, 2017 at 11:03 AM, Thomas Leuxner <tlx at leuxner.net> wrote: > * Thorsten Hater <thorsten.hater at gmail.com> 2017.01.17 10:57: > > > Unfortunately, this yields the same

Hi all, Is there any reason Dovecot shows the 'user' variable (ie: user at domain.tld) being obtained in the password query and not the (more logical) user query? Thanks, Michael

I know I'm looking at the answer but probably not seeing it on the Wiki? Is there a "manual" for Dovecot? Or ... where do I find all the options for the userdb and passdb options? While trying to get my head wrapped around this I noticed I might have been mixing args between the two. One example has userdb first then the next one passdb. Rod --

Hi, How do I setup per user mailbox quota? I am using /etc/passwd database. Thanks BAT

...deliver Currently deliver doesn't support namespaces. The mails can be delivered only to mailboxes specified by the mail_location setting. If you are using prefetch userdb, keep in mind that deliver does not make a password query and thus will not work if -d parameter is used. The UserDatabase/Prefetch page explains how to fix this. ================================== Any ideas? - Frank
