Ok, I have Dovecot 1.1.11 running on a test machine. Now, nice ways to export /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/*.mbox/ ? Ricardo signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[Dovecot] system & virtual setup
No one replied to my original email, and I was hoping if I re-phrase my question I can get an answer. I would like dovecot to provide system email (located at /mail/%u with system password and /home/%u) and also virtual email (/u/mail/VIRTUAL/%d/%u with password found at /u/exim/etc/VIRTUAL/%d/passwd). NO home space, but I would consider /home/%d/%u This I think has something to do with namespace, but the docs are too vague for me to understand. Can anyone help me out? I would very much appreciate it. I would even consider PAYING someone to set me straight. I am looking to migrate away from vm-pop3d. initially with POP3 and ultimately into IMAP. Thanks!

To get current quota usage and quota warnings working, the quota-fs.c code would have to know about the XFS directory quotas. You're welcome to write the code for it, but it's a very low priority for me. > this is nice feature of xfs, do not know if other fs do it, that is so! > useful in scenario with vusers, or, would be :) Usually people use virtual quotas (Maildir++, dict) for virtual users. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [Dovecot] fs quota on xfs dir tree? is this implemented?
xfs calls it project, it's not user nor group quota, simply a directory tree quota does dovecot find a use for it? basically, following wiki I set up a simple fs quotas when a tree reaches the limit, dovecot notices it, rejects with: Not enough disk space now question is, is it intentional what dovecot does - if yes how to implement fs-xfs quota warnings? or is it what dovecot was designed to do in case of such a eventuality like out of space thing? my guess, dovecot handles above situations anyway - scenario run: with no quota plugins this is nice feature of xfs, do not know if other fs do it, that is so! useful in scenario with vusers, or, would be :) or am I missing something thus having incomplete config for fs xfs-projects quotas, and it can be done? cheers Timo, pardon my ignorance, you are the author, right? ps. ah, yes, you are, thanks mate for your work!

[Dovecot] [patch] example configuration for expire seems broken
The expire configuration in the example config file in 1.1.11 is broken:
r...@omega:/etc/dovecot# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart
Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecot
Unknown dict module: db
expire plugin: dict_init() failed
Error: imap dump-capability process returned 89
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
failed!
It's inconsistent with the documentation at
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire, so I've made the attached patch
to try and fix it.
Note: I don't know if this new configuration is correct either, because
its a new box and I've not got any mails old enough to cause the plugin
to try and write anything, but at least I can start dovecot like this. :)
Regards,
Rob

When you say "uncommon", which references are you referring to? There are not too many other imap server implementations implementing this features (imap acl and shared user mailboxes). I only tested the (widely used) cyrus imapd, which promotes ACL changes immediately. > Did you tried it in Windows or Unix?

This might be a good way to implement things efficiently but before doing so I would prefer to evaluate if simply rechecking the relevant ACLs on each IMAP command has such a big performance impact that this kind of optimization is really needed. cheers sascha -- Sascha Wilde OpenPGP key: 4BB86568 http://www.intevation.de/~wilde/ http://www.intevation.de/ Intevation GmbH, Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabrück; AG Osnabrück, HR B 18998 Geschäftsführer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner pgpbTdcUXylGl.pgp Description: PGP signature
