similar to: Strange quota problem

It's long over due, but now I finally plan on upgrading from v1.0.15 to v1.2.16 on our servers. Would appreciate any comments! We have 7 servers, all running of the same GPFS filesystem. Both maildirs and indexes are stored here. We use dovecot for POP/IMAP and deliver. Currently we're using mysql as authentication source, but want to move to using ldap instead. Can we upgrade one server

I'm in the processes of running our first dsync backup of all users (from maildir to mdbox on remote server), and one problem I'm hitting that dsync will work fine on first run for some users, and then reliably fail whenever I try a new run: $ sudo dsync -u janfrode at example.net backup ssh -q mailbackup at repo1.example.net dsync -u janfrode at example.net $ sudo dsync -u janfrode

Guess I don't quite get namespaces, but we have the following namespace configured: $ doveconf namespace namespace { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = INBOX. separator = subscriptions = yes type = private } But when I try running dsync it complains: $ sudo -u atmail dsync -u janfrode at tanso.net mirror mdbox:/tmp/janfrodeboks

I enabled the trash plugin yesterday, adding "trash" to mail_plugins, and configuring the plugin setting "trash = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-trash.conf.ext". But I still see users with lots of files in INBOX.Trash getting bounced because of quota exceeded: postfix/lmtp[26273]:: C89F490061: to=<XXXXXXXXXXXXX at example.no>, relay=loadbalancers.example.net[192.168.42.15]:24,

I?m considering moving from maildir to mdbox, but don?t quite see how I should do the conversion with minimal downtime. Our userdb is ldap, and the we use this setting to point to the users maildirectory: user_attrs = mailMessageStore=mail=maildir:%$:INDEX=/indexes/%1u/%1.1u/%u,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$ i.e. every user has a "mailMessageStore" attribute in LDAP that points to

I now have "mail_home = /srv/mailstore/%256RHu/%d/%n". Is there any way of asking dovecot where a user's home directory is? It's not in "doveadm user": $ doveadm user -f home janfrode at lyse.net $ doveadm user janfrode at tanso.net userdb: janfrode at tanso.net mail : mdbox:~/mdbox quota_rule: *:storage=1048576 Alternatively, is there an easy way

Hi Timo, What I did actually was change option (D) to the following below, or do I have to remove this one altogether? plugin { quota = maildir } Then added the attribute mailquota=10240 as I had defined in my dovecot schema And when I did a tried to run getquota "" or getquotaroot inbox (via telnet localhost 143), it would return me a "no quota" message. What I am able

I'm having some problems with the sftpserver from yesterdays snapshot. It's working fine on the machine I built it on, but the (supposedly) identical machines I rdisted it to fails (SGI O2, Irix 6.5.11m). The client says: % sftp buskfuru Connecting to buskfuru... Enter passphrase for key '/usr/people/jfm/.ssh/id_dsa': janfrode at buskfuru's password: Received message too

Hi List, This is my first post to this list so please be gentle :-). First of all, kudos to the developers of dovecot! Im trying to implement quota, and I followed the instructions in the wiki. My problem is the quota specified per user is not being honored, only the global quota setting. I do have an "quota = maildir:storage=204800" in the plugin area and enabled quota in the

Hi, all. I use dovecot-1.1.1 with OpenLDAP as userdb. but i failed to convert quota value as expect. I set '10' as mail quota, and it should be '10M' as expect, but it's not effect, dovecot always uses 'quota_rule' setting in dovecot.conf. How can i fix this issue? 10*1047576? I have 'mailQuota' attr in ldap schema, such as: ----8<---- mailQuota: 10 #

It seems we have a few email addresses that are not RFC 5322 compliant, and now that we've started using sieve these are failing. The problem is that we have a few addresses with leading, trailing or double dots in the local part: jan..frode at tanso.net .janfrode at tanso.net janfrode. at tanso.net I believe these has been working fine with everything else in dovecot (lda, lmtp, imap,

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

I've tried having the ldap quota in an ldap attribute, which still doesn't work. /etc/dovecot.conf protocols = imap pop3 mail_location = maildir:/data/mail/%u/Maildir protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imapquota } plugin { quota = maildir:ignore=Trash } the rest are defaults added an attribute 'mailQuota' with value '10240' kbytes or 10Mbytes as for

Hi, all. I use dovecot-1.1.11 with OpenLDAP backend. but i found the mail_location is not correct. How can i override mail_location setting in dovecot.conf?

Hi, We recentlty upgraded our dovecot from v1.0.2 to v1.1ahpha1 under CentOS 4.4. Also, we are using Postfix 2.4.3 and OpenLDAP 2.3.35. We've been using LDAP for our POP/IAMP user authentication, however after upgrading to v1.1alpha1, LDAP authentication does't seem to be working properly. We re-examined the source code, and made a few modification. We are suspecting that... (1)

The Dovecot version is 1.2.8 and i am using an LDAP for a user database. The problem is following... i would like to use a quota dictionary backend from file rather than sql proxy for some reasons. Is it possible to get the full path for dovecot-quota file location from LDAP like from mail variable (/mailboxes/storage_01/domain.org/u/us/use/user/dbox/dovecot-quota)? /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf

Hi All, I have the Dovecot quota value coming from LDAP using the line below but my values are stored in MB, not bytes. What can I put in the line to set quotas in MB? user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,mailUID=uid,mailGID=gid,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ Thanks Murray
