similar to: Regarding Quota

Hello all, the dovecot wiki recommended that the index and control files for maildir be placed on a partition which does not have a quota. I have a VPS which gives me 20 gigs of space. Since space is tight, is there some way to calculate how much space the partition needs for the control and index files? Would 1 gig be sufficient in the long run?

I updated dovecot today and all over a sudden I'm getting: Mar 6 14:40:46 mail postfix/lmtp[3150]: 3kz95y3nX3zCtTS: to=<recipient at backup.invalid>, relay=127.0.0.1[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=88, delays=87/0.94/0.01/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (host 127.0.0.1[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 451 4.3.0 <recipient at backup.invalid> Too many concurrent deliveries for user (in

Hi, I did some experiments with dovecot on a glusterfs on the active nodes without a director. So I had concurrent access to the files. With the help of the available documentation about NFS and fcntl locks I managed to find out the following: With the plain mbox format dovecot seems to apply and to honor the fcntl locks. But since this format is not used any more in real setups, it is

Hallo zusammen, ?ber den Policy Service von Dovecot zum Abfragen der User Quotas wurde ja schon diskutiert - auch gibt es eine gute Anleitung zum Einrichten, nur leider bekomme ich den Policy Server nicht korrekt konfiguriert. Folgende Fehler werden protokolliert: May 3 22:00:13 mail postfix/smtpd[17463]: warning: access table unix:private/quota-status entry has empty value May 3 22:00:42

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration says: concat('*:bytes=', quota_limit_bytes) AS quota_rule and concat('*:bytes=', quota_limit_bytes) AS userdb_quota_rule but a generic quota_rule on the same page says: plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M } Are "bytes=" and "storage=" equivalent?

I'm using "/usr/bin/doveadm purge -A" to purge the mdboxes of my users. Unfortunately this command terminates prematurely once it reaches a defective mdbox! Is there a workaround for this? Like using doveadm to get a list of valid users and then run "doveadm purge -u" on each of those? -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstra?e 15, 81669

Hi, we have customers with Exchange servers that are polling for new mail every minute with dozens of pop3 accounts. I am looking for a mechanism to rate limit this per user. So what I am looking for is a way to block users from polling, if a user asks for new mail more than every 5 minutes (for example). Is this possible? Can this be achieved within Dovecot or does it need external scripting?

Hi, I want to build a system where 6 months old mail to be moved to archive server to keep my mailbox clean and fast. Is there any way to achieve the same using any pre-built binary shipped with dovecot ? Thanks and Regards Joy

Hi all Is it possible to configure Dovecot's sieve plugin to act on message arrival to folders, other than INBOX? I wish to move messages fetched by pop3 fetcher to special folder, or sort outgoing mail to folders, specific to their recipients. Thanhs in advance, WBR, valery

Hi all, I've a problem with dovecot-2.1.10. At time we use dovecot-1.2 without zlib. We setup a new server with dovecot 2.1.10. After syncing the emails everything looks fine. But if we use zlib plugin all new emails have no content. There are a lot of "Error: Maildir filename has wrong S value" log entrys. So we have compiled dovecot-2.0.18 and we use exactly the same

Hi, I would like to add a feature to my email-client (Thunderbird) which stops emails from showing up until a specific time (e.g. having buttons for: show again this evening, tomorrow, next week, next month ...). As far as I've learned this is not possible with IMAP: - storing the 'do-not-show-until-time' within a custom header-field requires down- and uploading of the whole email and

Hi, I have finally managed to implement the Sieve "foreverypart" and "mime" extensions (RFC 5703). These are now included in the main Mercurial repository and will be included in the next release. I will be fixing a few minor details in the coming week; e.g., interaction with "include" and "editheader" extensions needs more work. Still, in the mean time,

We consider deploying a two server active-active setup with dsync replication for ~2500 users. I was wondering how people handle sieve script synchronization in such setups. We came up with a few options for syncing: 1) rsync/unison ~/sieve every x seconds 2) move sieve dirs to separatate partition and sync with gluster or drbd 3) patch roundcube managesieve sieve plugin to upload

dovecot version: 2.2.16 (3d8a054a93a9) sieve configuration: plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve } For each of the users, ~/.dovecot.sieve is a symlink to ~/sieve/roundcube.sieve Until yesterday, everything was working find. But starting from yesterday's update, the log is filling up with messages like: Mar 16 19:12:32 cs12986 dovecot: lda(postmaster at contoso.com

Finally got Dovecot to work on ports 100 and 143. I would like to a) Learn about ACL esp on port 110 as there are still yodellaks that try to brake in on port 110. b) Setting up separate SSL cert for imaps and pop3s. -- For effective Internet Etiquette and communications read http://catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html, http://idallen.com/topposting.html &

Hi all, I have run into a problem which I cannot find a solution for. I have created an additional private namespace with the following commands in dovecot.conf : namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/var/vmail/archives/%Ln/Maildir mailbox "archived mails" { auto = subscribe driver =

Greetings, A probably simple question and answer: can a sieve script be executed on outgoing messages? I already use deliver on postfix, perhaps the sieve script could be executed when saving to the Sent folder? Regards, -- Marcio Merlone

Since dovecot put up packages on their own repo, bigmichi stopped providing his'. I guess this is not Stephan; Would the kind person update ppa.launchpad.net/bigmichi1 ? Thank You -- peter
