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'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....

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:

Hi, I've been working on configuring a new Postfix+Dovecot+Cyrus-SASL +Postgres server to perform multi-domain virtual hosting with non-unix accounts. I believe I have everything working correctly and have tested both the SASL portion and POP authentication through telnet and all works as expected, with one exception. When I authenticate using POP3: # telnet mail.host 110 Trying

Hi all, I have tried very hard to solve this problem but turn to the mailing list as a last resort. In the log I get, for just one account: Jul 31 09:06:17 bickertons dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=<matthew>, method=PLAIN, rip=78.130.81.201, lip=168.143.5.18, TLS Jul 31 09:06:17 bickertons dovecot: IMAP(matthew): Effective uid=1003, gid=1003, home=/home/matthew Jul 31 09:06:17

I've been trying to get dovecot working with postfix with virtual domain setting. I noticed that if I started dovecot with "sudo /usr/sbin/dovecot", everything would work fine. But if I started with "sudo /etc/init.d/dovecot start", I would get the following permission error. I checked "ps -ef | grep dovecot" and didn't find anything different. Sep 29

Hello, I had problem with %U in include tag in configuration file smb.conf. I try explain the problem. When I connecting from Windows (domain) the samba server doesn't properly include file. E.g.: smb.conf include = smb.conf.%U It include only smb.conf. at first time. I find no information about it so I try write patch for it. Please could you say me, if it's wrong? I have no problem

Hi! I have some trouble with userdb, ldap an extrafields for acl_groups. There is a script in python, which fetches the groups and sets the environment-variable ACL_GROUPS to this groups.

But when it try doveadm mailbox list -u user.name the mailboxes are not listed and with

Hi I use rsync for daily backups from a mailserver. Every day the mailserver pushes backup to the backupserver. Cron runs the command: rsync -q -zrlpt --specials --chmod=Du+rwx \ --rsh 'ssh -F /root/ssh/config -i /root/ssh/private.key -o UserKnownHostsFile=/root/ssh/known_hosts' \ --files-from=/root/include \ --exclude-from=/root/exclude \ --link-dest=../previous \ /

Hi, I tried again with some other options. After finding http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-November/093793.html I deleted every ACL from the directory Maildir and I also assigned the group "mail" to it, recursively: OmniOS-Xeon:/tank/home/olaf/Maildir/.Generiche $ ls -lV total 903 drwxrwxrwx 2 olaf mail 2 Sep 27 23:47 cur

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

Hi all, I've configured postfix with multiple host and virtual mailboxes (main.cf is here: http://pastebin.com/798VVxbv). So I can receive email to vuser at mydomain.tld into /var/mail/vhosts/mydomain.tld/vuser file. Now I'm configuring dovecot 2.2.13-r1; this is my dovecot -n and /etc/dovecot/passwddir/mydomain.tld/passwd: http://pastebin.com/b4xcjj7t - The auth and server

Hi Philon, now, it's time for "Mahlzeit" ;-) Sorry, that I read the wiki1 instead of wiki2. I thought the 1 means that it is server one of ... my fault. Also not reading the first line above the menu. My focus was really on the content. ;-) Also my problem with the doc of Dovecot2 proxy is, that the document https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/proxies/

There is a problem with a user mapping a network drive. Sometimes he can map it, sometimes he can't. SAMBA: 3.0-alpha18 UNIX: HP-UX 11.0 rsc is a valid account on the machine he's trying to connect to (entry in /etc/passwd, decent permissions on home directory and all parent directories, etc.) The strange thing is sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't
