similar to: userdb section order seems important in config file

I'm using dict quota like so: quota = dict:User quota::file:/[path]/quotas/%u [path]/quotas/ is a tmpfs. The idea is to do less work on disk. Other than forcing dovecot to rebuild quotas on a reboot, are there any downsides? Thanks, Ken -- Ken Anderson Pacific Internet - http://www.pacific.net

I'm testing deliver with sendmail and fs quotas. On an over quota condition, deliver accepts the mail, deletes it, then issues a MDN immediately. Is there a way to get deliver to soft fail like procmail does with a 400 error and queue the mail, then let sendmail handle the MDN, following it's "confTO_QUEUEWARN" and "confTO_QUEUERETURN" ? Thanks, Ken -- Ken

This doesn't seem to affect clients, but I'm seeing an occasional pop3 error in the log over the last week. Any ideas what is causing this?

Hi, I'm using dovecot 1.0.5 with mbox storage. Users can't delete folders that are created to 'only hold other folders'. I can create these folders with no problem. They are directories in the file system. Normal folders (which are mbox files) are deleted with no problem. I've tried with both squirrelmail and Thunderbird, and what happens when a delete is requested, is

> ERROR: > ERROR: Could not complete request. > Query: SELECT "Mailbox" > Reason Given: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file removing the () from the first line of the mbox fixed it. The line: From luser at hotmail.com () Mon Jun 25 11:20:33 2007 Is this a valid line? -- Ken Anderson Pacific.Net

Just upgrading to 1.0.0 and I'm trying to switch from PAM (using pam-mysql) to a direct mysql query from dovecot, and I've got both md5crypt and crypt passwords in a password db. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/PasswordSchemes seems to indicate that I have to pick 1, but that is per auth-worker, right? So, I created 2 auth workers using 2 dovecot-sql config files specifying

I'm switching from a pop3 only dovecot install to a pop3/imap install and I'm wondering how many connections every 100 'normal' imap users might have/keep open? I'm wondering if I need to tweak any o/s related things, like time_wait, etc. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ken A.

Hello, Seeing a strange thing with dovecot 1.0 b7 pop3. If a user gets a particular _very_ short spam message (not sure what virus makes these..), with NO Subject and NO To: headers and NO body, (example available upon request), the user is unable to download the mail. The log entry is: May 10 10:51:35 mail dovecot: POP3(user): Disconnected top=0/0, retr=1/1344, del=0/75, size=16383381

I'm using dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.15 with dovecot-1.2.11. I have a reject test filter that looks like this: require "reject"; if header :contains "subject" "reject" { reject "bye"; } Is there any way to get a "reject" filter to send back a 550 reject as detailed in http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/rfc5429/#section-2.5 rather than a MDN? The

Hello All, The attached patch allows openssh to specify which pam service name to authenticate users against by specifying the PAMServiceName attribute in the sshd_config file. Because the parameter can be included in the Match directive sections, it allows different authentication based on the Match directive. In our case, we use it to allow different levels of authentication based on the

Timo, Thank you for an amazing imap/pop server. I'm using Dovecot 2.0 beta 4 and mbox storage, and have encountered a couple of errors worth reporting: ------ 1. When I delete a parent folder that contains sub folders, I get this error message pop up in Thunderbird 3.04: > "The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded: > [CANNOT] Mailbox GUIDs are not

With mdbox, what does dovecot lock when "pop3_lock_session(pop3): yes"? Specifically, I'm wondering if Dovecot LDA is able to deliver mail when a session is locked, if using mdbox, or if it will tempfail until the session is unlocked? Thanks, Ken -- Ken Anderson Pacific Internet - http://www.pacific.net

hi everybody. I wonder if such a scenario is possible. if yes would I configure multiple passdb using ldap driver or within one clause set up multiple args? How would this work? many thanks P.

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

Hi, I have a couple questions about migrating from 1.x to 2.x I'm needing to support larger mailbox sizes and mdbox seems like the right format to use to get larger size boxes and maintain, or possibly even increase speed. Is that correct? Am I correct that the best way to accomplish this migration is to copy the mboxes over to the new server and then use dsync to convert them to mdbox?

I posted about this problem last week and thought it was a combination of SIP/ZAP causing issues in Asterisk. Since then I've realized it's only the SIP channel that's hanging. When this happens a call can still come in and hit the IVR, but no one can connect to the server from a SIP client. I tried reloading chan_sip.so today when this occurred, and I tried unloading chan_sip.so
