[Dovecot] Exim and Dovecot
Hi, I am installing Exim and Dovecot through yum on my Centos 5 x86_64 machine. Exim is unable to find the virtual users. Is there a full-fledged guide to get the two working. Any help is highly appreciated. Regards, Rafael

Yeah, that was it! You made my day! --Frank Elsner
Re: [Dovecot] [exim] Exim + Dovecot deliver overquota problems

It'd be much better, because I would allow me to mix overquota and no-overquota recipients. But the problem in my case is that I am using some hashing to distribute the users' mailboxes, dovecot can handle this easily because it supports some interesting stuff (http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables) Exim have much more variables and functions http://exim.org/exim-html-4.69/doc/html/spec_html/ch11.html#SECTexpvar, so if you don't use any special dovecot variable data, than it shouldn't be a problem. With a perl script I could also do that, I would like only if it's the last resort (too much overhead I would think) Parsing file and counting quota value - is trivial stuff. The main disadvantage of this way is executing external aplication on every RCPT TO command. If you'll decide to use perl consider using option perl_at_start to minimize aplication starting time.
