similar to: (Somewhat urgent) Problem with maildir++ quota

Hi, it looks like there is a bug (in dovecot or in my config) with quota on maildir mailboxes when accessed via POP3. The maildirsize is not created when not already present (even after a DELE + QUIT command). The quota limit (the first line of maildirsize) is not updated if values are not in sync with those in the database. If maildirsize is present, DELE commands are correctly reported in

Hi to all, I am semi-new to the dovecot system, but i like it very much for the versatility of all the system. I have a problem: i am migrating my servers from postfix with vda patch + courier imap to dovecot. All works fine, except for one thing: i use Maildir++ format, but i don't know how to make the file maildirsize into the home of the users. This file is needed by me becouse i have a

Hi Timo and crew! I'm doing more testing with Dovecot and Maildrop today and have run across some strangeness. It appears as if Maildrop stores updates to the maildirquota file in a way that causes Dovecot to ignore them. In my test scenario, Dovecot just rebuilt my maildirsize file to the following: 0S 86213796 108 After delivering a few messages through Postfix -> Maildrop and have

Hi folks. I was doing some testing this morning and realized Dovecot RC2 isn't fully compliant with the maildir++ specification. Most notably, it appears that Dovecot isn't creating a "maildirfolder" file (0 byte length) in folders it creates. >From http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html "Within each subdirectory there's an empty file,

I've found what I think is an inconsistency in the Maildir quota implementation. According to the Maildir++ quota specification at: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html Maildir++ quota can be specified as maximum size, or maximum number of messages, or even both. The size specification is supposed to be in bytes. So I could use '10000000S' to set a quota of

Hello, I'm using dovecot-0.99.14, and I wonder if anyone has created patch for *minimal* Maildir++ support. By minimal Maildir++ support, I mean the following: (1) New messages created by dovecot will include the ,S=nnnnn string in the unique identifier so that Maildir++ clients don't have to stat the file to know the size. (2) Dovecot will append to the maildirsize file when a message

Hi Timo et al. I've been trying to track down why Dovecot recalculations of maildirsize are so wildly different (lower) than what Maildrop comes up with. I think I've found some bizarre behavior in Dovecot -- this is in beta9 as well as CVS from yesterday. It appears Dovecot isn't looking at /Maildir/cur ... /Maildir/new and /Maildir/tmp. It is, however, looking at

Some information about maildir++ that I have read: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Maildir When I have to deliver a message with an MDA I can use dovecot-lda. If I have enabled "quota = maildir:User quota" I am pretty sure that in the mailbox on file system I find a file named "maildirsize" maildirsize on top contain

Hi. It looks like Beta 7 is treating a zero quota in maildirsize as a literal quota value. The maildir++ specification says a zero quota means unlimited. Steve

Hi all. I have a problem with one user. His quota is upper of real quota. # cd /var/mail/problemuser/ # find . -name 'dovecot*' -exec rm -f {} \; # find . -name 'maildir*' -exec rm -f {} \; # echo test | mail problemuser -s test # more maildirsize 104857600S 104215602 1439 647 1 # du -h 4,0K ./.Borrador/new 4,0K ./.Borrador/cur 4,0K ./.Borrador/tmp 16K ./.Borrador

Can somebody post details for how to get maildir++ quotas working in the latest CVS? I have tried but can't get the CAPABILITY string to show "QUOTA"; and the GETQUOTAROOT command is recognized, but returns nothing... 2 GETQUOTAROOT INBOX * QUOTAROOT "INBOX" "" * QUOTA "" () 2 OK Getquotaroot completed. These are the settings I have... am I

We use Maildir++ quota, with the rules taken from our LDAP backend. We also have an old expunge script that's not quota-aware; it removes old messages from the maildir by simply deleting the files. Sometimes, a mailbox is over quota before the script runs, but well under quota after the old messages are deleted. This change does not seem to be picked up, however: When I try to deliver a new

I found a problem with maildir++ quota. When dovecot creates maildirsize file, it counts quota wrong. This is, how I reproduce a situation on version 1.2.0: First, I remove maildirsize file: # cd /var/mail/test # rm -f maildirsize # ls -la total 32 drwx--S--- 5 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:45 . drwxrwsr-x 3 root mbox 4096 Jul 12 20:39 .. drwx--S--- 2 mbox mbox 4096 Jul 9 20:45 cur -rw------- 1 mbox

imho, dovecot 1.00 RC2 has two bugs at the maildir quota implementation 1. Incorrect calculation of used storage and count of messages When calculating, dovecot counts "." and ".." directory entries. So, if there are no subdirs and messages in maildir, maildirsize still shows 4 messages and some used storage. My workaround is --- src/plugins/quota/quota-maildir.c.orig Sun

Hi List, I have (otherwise successfull) migrated a server from cyrus to dovecot (Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 to 10.6.4 [dovecotd version to be 1.1.20apple0.5]). There are ca. 300+ users of which a very small handfull (ca. 1 %) are having reported a usage size that is very different to what 'du' reports. How can I rebuild the maildirsize and why might it be wrong in the first place(?) Will the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm having some problems with quota from sql (maildir++) and dovecot + maildrop. I'm using maildrop for MDA and dovecot as IMAP server. When an e-mail arrives, maildrop calculates the quota and updates the 'maildirsize' file. When i use dovecot (webmail, thunderbird) it updates the 'maildirsize' too, overwriting it, but in a

Hello, I've noticed that "doveadm quota get" doesn't recalculate quota if maildirsize file is missing for some reason. It just says quota is unknown, usage is 0. In contrast, vpopmail does regenerate maildirsize if it is missing. Reading the Maildir++ specification there is this part: ...If maildirsize does not exist, or if its size is at least 5120 bytes, recalculate

I can't get dovecot to ignore a certain directory/namespace when calculating quotas. I am running dovecot 1.2.16 with vpopmail configured for quotas. I use the dot (.) as my separator and my user structure is as follows: ../domain.com/user/Maildir for all the user directories I also have for each user: ../domain.com/user/Maildir/Archive which is a symlink to a NFS mounted

Hello, I have a problem about updating Maildirsize file. It seems that the Maildirsize file is not updated after user does POP mail from his maildir. I do not want to use any quota limitation in Dovecot. I only want Dovevot to update the Maildirsize file after user retrieves his mail. The Maildirsize file is created by Postfix. Would it be possible to do like this? How can I configure it?

Hello, I'm a recent convert to dovecot from courier-imap and the performance has certainly improved. I'm running the vanilla 1.0.7 version that came with the CentOS 5.2 x86_64 distro. I've come across a similar problem that was posted by Ralf Hildebrandt earlier this year under the same subject, but that thread just seems to have died off. I'm also using per- user maildirsize
