Hi all, I've configured postfix with multiple host and virtual mailboxes (main.cf is here: http://pastebin.com/798VVxbv). So I can receive email to vuser at mydomain.tld into /var/mail/vhosts/mydomain.tld/vuser file. Now I'm configuring dovecot 2.2.13-r1; this is my dovecot -n and /etc/dovecot/passwddir/mydomain.tld/passwd: http://pastebin.com/b4xcjj7t - The auth and server

Hi, I'm using Dovecot with LDAP. My users have an home directory and a field named 'mailMessageStore'. Then the full mailbox path is 'homeDirectory/mailMessageStore' In dovecot-ldap.conf i configured as follows : user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(cn=%u)) user_attrs = qmailUID=uid,qmailGID=gid,homeDirectory=home,mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:~/%$ Everything is

Hello, I,m using Dovecot 1.2.9, now finishing a migration from Courier IMAP. Documentation (http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home) says that home directory should not be the same as mail directory. When I create new user accounts with PostfixAdmin the mail directory is not a problem but is there some smart way to create the home directory as well (locating it for instance in '/srv/vmail/%d/%n/home')? Regard...

According to this article http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home I think the problem is: mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%u and plugin { home = /home/vmail/%u } is the same directory. Is it right? Is the solution to set mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/mail/%u ? -- Best regards Filip

...these mailboxes and I can get/see them via my mail client I do, however, get the following error -------------------- imap(bob at aaa.bbb): Error: User bob at aaa.bbb doesn't have home dir set, disabling duplicate database ------------------- After looking at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home I tried the following -------------------------------- mail_home = /home/vmail/mailboxes/%d/%n mail_location = maildir:~/mail ------------------------------ Problem with this is that I now can't see any of my emails in the client. Appreciate any help on how to fix this. Thanks

I've noticed that a lot of people are using e.g.: mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n Then either they don't have home directory set, or their home directory is the same as the maildir. http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home explains all the problems of not separate home and mail directories. Also whenever I try to suggest using a separate home and mail directory, the answer is way too often: "But I'm using virtual users. (They don't have home directories.)" So I started wondering. Maybe simpl...

Hi, I'm almost ready to migrate Courier to Dovecot 2.2.31 but I have one question about home and mail directory. It's good idea to have same directory form home and mail ? Which scenerio will be better and why ? For example: A) Home: /home/doamin/user1 Mail: /home/doamin/user1 B) Home: /home/doamin/user1/home Mail: /home/doamin/user1 C) Home: /home/doamin/user1/ Mail:

Hi all, I have enabled today the autoexpunge setting for Trash folders, and I am getting the following error when Dovecot starts: imap(<USER>): Error: autoexpunge: Couldn't create dovecot.autoexpunge.lock lock: User has no home directory I understand this is correct: as <USER> is a virtual user, it does not have home folder. Is there any way I can set the autoexpunge plugin

Hello, I spend a couple of days configurating a new installation of dovecot 2.0.14 with virtual accounts and NFS storage for maildir home/mail directories. At this point I need shared mailboxes but since user mail/home locations are ldap attributes, how is it supposed I must configure this for shared mailboxes? for the users' mail/home directories I set this line: user_attrs =

As my logs fill up with "imap(user at domain.com): Error: stat(/mail/doman.com/user//.dovecot.sieve/tmp) failed: Not a directory" errors, I followed the advice at https://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home and https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-June/104403.html and set in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf # By default LIST command returns all entries in maildir beginning with a dot. # Enabling this option makes Dovecot return only entries which are directories. # This is done by st...

Hello, I'm moving my mail server from Exchange to an opensource one. After a bunch of reading, I decided on building a Dovecot2 + Postfix server in a VirtualUsers-only + Multiple-domains configuration. Since my messages will be stored by Dovecot, and the documentation is really good, I figured that it's smartest to configure Dovecot, then make Postfix 'fit' to it, sharing the data files that way. I read through lots of the Dovecot wiki for v2....

Hello, I have not been using the home directory but I read in MailLocation.txt that I probably should. Does dovecot create each directory? What does it put in there? My server uses mbox format. My users all look like this: [root at sendmail log]# finger chayes Login: chayes Name: 50387.00 Directory: /home/chayes Shell: /sbin/nologin Never logged in.

VirtualUsers.Home.txt: The directory layouts for home and mail directories could look like one of these (in the preferred order): 1. Mail directory under home, for example: home='/var/vmail/domain/user/' mail='/var/vmail/domain/user/mail/' Who should be the owner of these directories,...
