similar to: quota-dirsize and mailbox rules

A relatively recent development that spammers got wind of is users that have username==password, with/without the domain. I am tracking numerous 1-off attempts from bots to gain access to mailboxes this way. Situation isn't made any better if you're also using dovecot as SMTP AUTH provider for I am ashamed to admit I've relayed some spam that way. Would it be possible to deny login

Hi, just subscribed after successfully (?) migrating from a somewhat old linuxconf/vimap config. dovecot-1.1.7, x86 A few issues: The index files seem to be created with the wrong permissions.

Hi, I've been trying to get dirsize quotas to work properly with 1.0rc19 and Dovecot consistently crashes when attempting to do file copies once a user is over quota. Dovecot works fine for us for regular mbox based IMAP, but as soon as I add the following two entries in their respective locations in dovecot.conf: mail_plugins = quota imap_quota (in the imap{} section) quota =

When APPENDing new message files to an IMAP Maildir, Dovecot 1.0 rc27 can be configured to add ",S=size" to the filename. That allows it to be calculated with the "dirsize" quota plugin (and MTA's such as Exim). However, Dovecot only seems to do that when the "maildir" quota plugin is specified (from "quota-maildir.c"): /* For

Is there a way to return a per user dirsize quota from a passdb sql lookup? If so, what is the syntax? maybe "select quota as userdb_quota"? ..and in mysql table, quota column would be: "quota=dirsize:storage=10240" ? I'm using mbox, with /etc/passwd userdb, and mysql passdb. Thanks, Ken -- Ken Anderson Pacific.Net

Our current virtual mailbox configuration is not compatible with one of the assertions in the dovecot quota plugin's assertions in quota-dirsize.c. I believe the assertion is incorrect, but I would also be happy if I could get the same result with a better configuration setting. Here is a sample passdb entry which causes the quota assertion to fail: test at

Hi, Anyone able to get 'dirsize' quotas to work properly under 1.1beta9? I can get them to reflect the size of the INBOX properly, but it never seems to be adding up the size of the files in the folder directory itself. I'll keep hammering away at it if others are able to use dirsize with no problems, but wanted to check first. -- Dean Brooks dean at iglou.com

Hi There, I''ve been trying to get this to work for the last couple of days, but found no information on the internet that would help. Essentially, a tap-ctl opencommand with a qcow2 image does not work (error code 2) and produces the following line in syslog: tap-ctl: tap-err:tap_ctl_open: open failed, err -2 I have attached a shell script that reproduces the problem on my machine.

Hi, all. I have OpenLDAP(+qmail.schema), Dovecot, Postfix installed on RHEL 5.1 (x86_64), and they works fine with mbox format. The problem is if i set 'mailQuota=0' in LDAP, postfix can't send mail to recipient user. But it works fine with 'mailQuota != 0', such as '10240'(10M). What's wrong with my mail server setting? How can i solved this issue? Thanks very

Hi, I''d like to use the blktap utils from https://github.com/xen-org/blktap because of the mirror feature, as the blktap utils comming with xen does not support this. Could anybody explain why there are two different blktap utils (one in git and one comming with xen source) and how to compile the one from git so that it works with libxl ? Any pointers greatly appreciated ;-) Thanks

Hi, (dovecot latest vers) i have lda deliver up with quota and sql, but it seems that deliver simply ignores it, normally it should bounce the message deliver(tester at example.de): Feb 13 15:31:32 Info: auth input: gid=1001 deliver(tester at example.de): Feb 13 15:31:32 Info: auth input: quota=dirsize:storage=3072000 deliver(tester at example.de): Feb 13 15:31:32 Info: Home dir not found:

(Dovecot 2.2-ee) We have a weird quota requirement, we have file storage that we manage through our own APIs but want that usage to come out of the user's mail quota. The usage is in a maildirsize like file uncreatively called filestoresize in the user's maildir. In the past we've been doing this by modifying the quota plugin and re-compiling, but it seems like it should be

hello, We have configured the quota enforcement folowing the link (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota) but we note that the global quota limitation configuration in dovecot.conf works well but not the ldap users configuration limit. For example in the casee below, we have tried to limit quota usage for some users to 1Gb but only the global quota limitation appear in the user quota. please find below

We run around 5 dovecot (debian etch 1.0.rc15) POP/IMAP 'nodes' using the LVS load balancer and an NFS based SAN. it works pretty well. I love the robustness of load balancing POP/IMAP. We do a reasonable amount of throughput through these especially at peak times pushing our SAN to around 1.5k IOP/s We currently have two issues with this setup. One of which is NFS index corruption

Hie folks, Does anyone have any experiences using dovecot + per user quota + ldap? I've configured my settings as this example: # quotaStorage must be in the format mentioned above # For example: dirsize:storage=10240 user_attrs = uid,homeDirectory,,,uidNumber,gidNumber,quotaStorage=quota But, Dovecot isn't creating maildirsize file. Any guesses? PS: I've

Hi All, I've read a bit about this but don't really see a full solution anywhere. Has anyone actually got a good fix for this? Telling a user they are over quota then not allowing them to delete anything does seem the height of perversion. =) Question is - is this even a problem for the IMAP server? Or should the MUA be detecting over quota problems and then issuing the right

I'm a new dovecot user, just began using it last week. I switched from courier because my research showed that Dovecot did indexes, and allows me to store them anywhere I chose. I did this, and it fixed some severe disk IO issues that my server had. (25k horde only webmail install using imap proxy). I'm using quotas, and by default had it set to 'dirsize'. my postfix is already
