similar to: LDA/Postfix with quotas and without LMTP

I am wondering if I really need to use dovecot quota functions or not. Assume for the moment, that, each system user has a quota defined using Linux quotas, and that the Maildir is within their quota limited directory. So, any mail (or files created by the user etc) that would exceed the quota obviously can't be created.? In such an environment, is there any advantage to implementing the same

Hello, I would like to configure dovecot lda for local users. My dovecot vesion is 1.2.15. Dovecot documentation for System users says that only thing I should add to main.cf is: mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver (path to deliver) After that should I commented postfix/local process from master cf ? regards, Jarek

Hi I have been able to setup postfix and dovecot using postgres as the backend store with virtual user maps on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server. I have been following instructions from here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotPostgresql I haven't setup postfix to use saslauthd and PAM, instead I am using dovecot for SASL authentication. Rest of the table structures and query files are the same as

Hi there, I'm using Dovecot together with Postfix; as I understand it, there are two ways to transfer the mail from Postfix to Dovecot. 1.) by using LDA with mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT" 2.) by using LMTP with mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp (currently using number 1) I'm interessted in the

I have been attempting to replace Procmail with Dovecot as the LDA for my Postfix mail server, but without success. Below is a truncated output from the /var/log/maillog.

Hi list, I am running a Debian Lenny machine with Postfix 2.5.5 and Dovecot 2.0.8. Up until now I ran Postfix with the Procmail delivery agent succesfully. The machine has only local users; I am not using virtual mailboxes. Due to obvious reasons I want to switch to Dovecot LDA delivery, through LMTP. I spend quite some time finding 'the' configuration for both Postfix and Dovecot,

Hi, I don't know if it's a bug or my configuration fault, but LDA does not work as i expect. Dovecot auth connects to a pgsql database that mirrors Nis users infos, but it has also quota settings because i'd like to use a per-user quota environment. Mailserver and Postfix authenticates users with Nis (through PAM), while imap and local delivery (with the postfix mailbox_command

Hello, I just installed dovecot2-beta2 and configured the lmtp-server + postfix (no virtual users) postfix: mail_version = 2.7-20100117 mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:lmtp-server lmtp_assume_final = yes dovecot: service lmtp { executable = lmtp protocol = lmtp unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/lmtp-server { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } } Mail gets delivered to

Hello, One day a week or so ago, a server that's Postifx w/ Local users, dovecot w/ LDA decided to stop working. The only thing that stopped is the LDA portion, the rest all works fine. I also posted to the postfix mailing list yesterday but wasn't able to debug any further. Here's the situation: if I use mailbox_command to point to deliver, postfix will always put the message in the

Alle, We're running Dovecot V1.0.7 on RHEL5.5, using maildir. We would like to user per user quotas with an OpenLDAP (V2.3.43) backend. We have setup a default quota in /etc/dovecot.conf: quota = maildir:storage=10240:ignore=Trash And have the following userdb configs in /etc/doveconf.conf: userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } and the following user_attrs defined in

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, first of all I have to say that dovecot is really impressive. I seems to be a very goot IMAP server and has in general a good documentation. I'm a beginner regarding the administration so please excuse if my questions sound silly but I want to learn to administrate these sophisticated things. Now here's my configuration: Linux openSuSE 12.1 Postfix 2.8.8

Hi Here is my environment: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 (Tikanga) postfix-2.9.1-1.rhel5 dovecot 1.0.7 I want to config a complete postfix-dovecot mail server. First I configured postfix to use procmail, its default LDA and dovecot for pop3 and imap. I didn't changed main.cf a lot, just myhostname and a few other properties. I didn't set home_mailbox. About dovecot.conf

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting a new Postfix/Dovecot server up and running. I'm trying to run v1.0.3, using MySQL tables setup list postfix admin. This is a RHEL5 server. Getting this error tail /var/log/dovecot/dovecot-deliver.log deliver(none at example.com): Sep 04 19:44:15 Fatal: setgid(12) failed: Operation not permitted That 12 being my vmail user. I'm not exactly sure

Postfix 2.5.5 SpamAssassin 3.2.5 (under Perl 5.10.0) ClamAV 0.95.1 Dovecot 1.2.rc2 works fine on Fedora 10. Installed Dovecot and ClamAV from source and everything else using yum. I'm using the ClamAV plugin for Spamassassin: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ClamAVPlugin I'm calling Spamassassin with: /etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_command = /usr/bin/spamc -f -e

Aloha, I've searched the list and have found no similar reports, so I'm asking here. We have 3 RH5.1 boxes running the stock Postfix 2.3.3, but due to issues with the stock Dovecot 1.0rc15, Redhat supplied us with the version of Dovecot 1.0.7 that will be in Redhat 5.2. The mail store is automounted per-user from a Sun box via NFS. We were using it with no problems until last Friday,

I am a new dovecot user who recently transitioned my old mailserver to a new CentOS/Postfix/Dovecot system. I am running a simple configuration with about a dozen system users and Maildir folders. The e-mail setup seems to be running fine when I use the default local-delivery-agent in Postfix. However, I am trying to use the dovecot-lda instead so I can take advantage of the sieve functionality.

Hi all Trying to setup dovecot with mysql and postfix, I have configured it as given below. thecot user has the dovecot group as primary, and is also a member of mail and dovecot-users. Still, it can't setgid to dovecot-users. I tried changing the shell for the dovecot user to something useful and chmod'ing a file to dovecot-users, and it work well. Still, no mail comes through

I have installed the dovecot 1.0 beta3 (package included with Ubuntu Dapper Drake) and everything is working very well. Next I wanted to try the dovecot lda (for sieve filtering). In postfix I have "mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver" and I followed the instructions from http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA. I only changed "postmaster_address = postmaster@localdomain.local"
