A mail user reported that he filled up his INBOX (despite reminders he was approaching his filesystem quota), and furthermore, he could not fix the situation because he couldn't expunge message he marked for deletion. The dovecot logs revealed the cause dovecot: imap(user): Error: open(/var/mail/user.lock) failed: Disc quota exceeded This created an impasse where a user cannot free

I'll try and break up my questions the other day about extdata that went unanswered into pieces in the hopes it will be more specific and clear. In general, I am trying to figure out the syntax of the map statement and what is allowed in that statement. So, by map statement, I mean for example perhaps the?dovecot-dict-expire.conf.ext file as shown in the doc. Is the syntax the same for the

I see back in November of last year, a thread about using client_limit in the imap service (not imap-login) that would allow each imap process serve more than one connection. Sounded good, until I tried it! When I did, unlike the OP of that thread, I got: dovecot: imap(submit.user): Fatal: setuid(503(submit.user) from userdb lookup) failed with euid=501(links): Operation not permitted (This

Reading the wiki page for dovecot2 and LDA/Postfix, the system users section (all mail delivery goes to system users)... It shows you can simply use postfix mailbox_command. There is this additional comment: "This command doesn't do a userdb lookup. If you want that (e.g. for per-user quota lookups) you need to add -d "$USER" parameter." So, i added that. Once adding it,

Hi All! Just noticed a strange behavior of the FS quota plugin on delivery stage. We use group FS quotas via NFS. And quota-tool says: --- Disk quotas for group #5751796 (gid 5751796): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace nfse:/export 1276 10240 10240 --- I run: --- cat ./test.eml | /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -e -n -d xxxx at xxxxx.xxxx --- and get: --- Quota

Hello: I've been trying to set up filesystem quotas for IMAP, and cannot seem to get it to work. In IMAP clients it either shows quota unavailable or unknown. I've read the documentation several times. I've enabled the quota plugins and to my knowledge that part is good. I've edited the file 90-quota.conf and uncommented these lines and set them as follows: plugin { quota_rule

I could not determine if when using filesystem quotas (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/FS) Dovecot will use the reported quota and limits without the need of configuring them via "quota_rules". Is this possible somehow? Such a feature would determine the quota limits automatically from the filesystem quotas thereby allowing to make use of them in quota warnings. Dovecot already knows

I wish to impose a quota on a samba share. I''ve created a mount, using puppet, enabling usrquota. I''ve then run quotacheck manually, and edquota manually to set up the quota. I suppose I could have puppet deliver the aquota.user file, but I don'' think that doesn''t really enable me to rebuild the machine without manual intervention. What would be really

Hello, I'm using dovecot as a mail relay so that I can back up my providers IMAP mail locally. I'm impressed how easy this was to set up, but I'm having a quirk that I would like help with, if possible. There are many weak links in my set-up chain, if you will, but I think I've narrowed the problem. I'll describe my set-up anyway. I'm running dovecot 1.1.4 on ubuntu

"Hard filesystem quota can also be problematic", quoth <http://www.dovecot.org/>. Since we actually use quota for our userbasg, this merited further investigation. Using 1.0-stable, we enabled quota on /var and /users filesystems, and set very low quota for a test account. Then we had some mail delivered on it, and we moved some messages about. At some point, Thunderbird

Hello, I've been watching the list for a few weeks and I've seen some users mention problems using quotas on EXT3 under high loads (or high io). I'm working on a new production server which will see some high io and I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences using quotas. Specifically, I'm looking for answers to: * Is the problem only with new (or old) style

I have tried sending this before, but it did not appear to get through. Hello, When using gfs2 with quotas on a SAN that is providing storage to two clustered systems running CentOS6.5, one of the systems can crash. This crash appears to be caused when a user tries to add something to a SAN disk when they have exceeded their quota on that disk. Sometimes a stack trace is produced in

Hallo. Filesystem quotas used to work well under Solaris 9 and ufs filesystems on the Sparc platform even with two rules for the folders in the users home directories /home/group/user and the separate filesystem /var/mail holding the inboxes: plugin { quota = fs:Home-Verzeichnis:noenforcing quota2 = fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/mail } Since we upgraded last year to Solaris 10

hi all, I hope you can help me with a strange quota/nfs/XFS behavior... I'm using Centos 5.6 on both a nfs server and client. Both are 64-bit, and using a recent kernel: NFS server: Linux fs2.priv 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue May 31 13:22:04 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux NFS client: Linux nx8.priv 2.6.18-238.12.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue May 31 13:22:04 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64

We have our user set up with quotas on RedHat Linux server(5.1). It works under the normal linux enviroment. BUT when we use SAMBA to get the user's home directory mapped to drive letter on a WINNTmachine (4 with SP 3) it doesn't maintain the quota. After using all the allocted space user can still copy files to that drive which is mapped for user's home directory. Does anybody else

Hey linux-security-ers: I just compiled/installed Pine 4.02 for my RH 5.0 machine today (didn't see an RPM last time I checked ftp.redhat.com:/pub/contrib), and after I got it installed, it kept giving me errors about not being able to create a lockfile when dinking with my mailspool in /var/spool/mail. After doing some digging on DejaNews and the Pine website, I find a document who says the

Hi, I have problem with quota storage information in dovecot-2.2.29 (and newer versions, too - 2.2.30.2).

Hi, I'd like to try to migrate our NFS-based network to gluster, for replication. We currently use an ext4 filesystem with quota enabled. We have a couple thousand users (over LDAP), and their quotas vary wildly. We manage them with edquota(8) on the NFS server. There are many services which mount the NFS filesystem, and parse the output of /usr/bin/quota (a webmail, two mail servers,

Hello. After using Dovecot for over a year, I have just started experimenting with the filesystem quotas, and I have a suggestion for improvement. On my mail server, I use group-based quotas, and would like to have Dovecot be able to report these quotas. It should be simple to implement, requiring only changes to the quota-fs.c file of the quota plugin. Simply changing USRQUOTA to
