similar to: Preventing IMAP folder deletion?

I'm currently running postfix + dovecot, with virtual users In postfix I have set recipient_delimiter = + so that postfix accepts mail for user at example.com, user+foo at example.com, and user+spam at example.com all deliver to inbox. what I would like is to have email directed to user+foo at example.com delivered to the IMAP folder foo (and, in the context of amavisd, have amavis

I'm running squirrelmail on top of dovecot, and noticed that some of my users display the quota (using the squirrelmail plugin check_quota) and some don't. So I did some digging. For those that do not display the quota, their account also doesn't provide any data with: . getquotaroot inbox * QUOTAROOT "inbox" . OK Getquotaroot completed. When I check the account

I just switched from the default postfix LDA to the dovecot LDA, deliver, and am looking into what new features I have. The wiki references the trash plugin with imap. Can I also enable trash with the lda? Rick Rick Steeves http://www.sinister.net "The journey is the destination"

I regularly get this message in my logs: Feb 9 08:03:59 mailserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user at example.com>, method=PLAIN, rip=24.213.158.249, lip=192.168.250.80, TLS Feb 9 08:04:49 mailserver dovecot: IMAP(user at example.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=189/468 Feb 9 08:06:09 mailserver dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<user at example.com>, method=PLAIN,

Running Dovecot 1.1.8 using Virtual users, multiple domains. My file structure is /var/spool/mail/<domain>/<user>/Maildir/ (cur, new,tmp,.Spam) What I'd like to do is add an ACL such that all users can read/delete/move mail that's in the spam folder, but not delete it. Am I going to have to create an entry for every single user, or is there a way to do it once, for all

I get regular messsages in /var/log/maillog Feb 2 19:32:57 mail dovecot: IMAP(user at example.com): Disconnected: Logged out bytes=189/472 Feb 2 19:32:57 mail dovecot: IMAP(user at example.com: Disconnected: Logged out bytes=207/1832 Two things: 1) I don't really care to log the user disconneted by logging out at all, how can I stop that 2) why do they show up twice? Thanks Rick

Hi! I'm currently running Dovecot 1.1.8 on a HP server using CentOS 5.2 as my IMAP server, receiving mail from postfix, and also using squirrelmail as the frontend. As I look at upgrading the mail server, I'd like to change to a higher availability configuration (where the server can fail and I don't have to reconfig my imap users). For the SMTP that's easy, because I can

I'm trying to follow the instructions from: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire for the BDB backend. Everything is set up as indicated, but when I run: dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool I get back: Error: read(/var/run/dovecot/dict-server) failed: Remote disconnected I'm sure it's something simple.... Thx rick dovecot -n: # 1.1.8: /etc/dovecot.conf #

Okay, y'all know that I've been working on a script to auto-setup an email server. (updated script at: http://www.benjamin.weiss.name/mail-server.sh ) I've been trying to get Spam Assassin to work correctly with amavisd and razor. To test, I've taken email from my current email server that has a score of 9 or more and tried emailing it to the new server, but it doesn't

Dovecot 1.1.8-0_85.el5 I'm seeing this set of messages repeat every 15 min. My best guess is the user tried to delete an imap folder and is failing?

However, when mail is sent to USER1 at

Currently I have a mail server running postfix and dovecot with users in mysql. I have Outlook (blich) clients checking IMAP mail on the server. I'd like to build some fault-tolerance into that system in case I have hardware failure. I've read through: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/SharedDisk but I feel I need more information. My basic understanding is that I'll need 2

Running CentOS 5.x running a postfix/dovecot implementation. Dovecot 1.1.8.

I'm currently setting up postfix and dovecot with virtual users (mysql), imap, and quotas. I'm setting the quotas using mysql. I have quotas working correctly, and I can telnet into the imap server, and submit . getquotaroot inbox and get back valid quota information. I get a maildirsize file in the Maildir directory. Very cool. When I delete mail and expunge it, the quota updates.

I'm having problems getting dovecot to set imap quotas that are defined as individual quotas for virtual users using mysql. I'm using postfix/dovecot 1.1.3, just built from source about a week ago. I've been testing using telnet and getquotaroot. when I define the quota in dovecot.conf quota = dirsize quota_rule = *:storage=102400 I get the following response from Dovecot:

I only have one Postfix server running at the moment and have some questions. On that install, I did Amavisd-new with ClamAV, SpamAssassin, Postfix and Dovecot. I know this is a bit off topic, but I'm really hoping for performance guidance. Is the added layer of complexity running Amavis worth the effort on a system with moderate mail flow? Or should I just go down the path of getting
