Buy a bigger disk, reduce the quota, etc. Or use a filesystem quota, which will (of course) only work with real users and not with virtual users. Grüße, Sven. -- Sigmentation fault. Core dumped.

Yes, DNS is good enough already with 3 servers in completely different networks (although all of them in Finland, but I doubt the whole Finland drops off the map that easily :) >> BTW.

Re: [Dovecot] calling dovecot exported auth from Java
On 4/15/2011 5:36 PM, WJCarpenter wrote:
As far as I have been able to figure out, dovecot auth always works
over a Unix domain socket. I believe it is not currently possible to
operate dovecot auth over an Internet domain (TCP) socket. Am I correct?
I want to call dovecot's exported authentication from a Java
application. Java doesn't natively know how to talk to a Unix domain
socket, so there are inconveniences. There are 3rd party JNI
libraries to allow Java to do it, but I'm not too wild about the idea
of using JNI. My current thinking is to rig up some kind of
proxy/shuttle arrangement between a localhost TCP port and the dovecot
auth Unix domain socket in the filesystem. I'm looking at using the
more or less standard tool "socat" to do that. (I'm on a mainstream
Linux distribution.)
Here is the solution we came up with. All of this is, uh, lightly
tested at this point. Bug reports welcome (directly or via this mailing
list if you want.)
First, the "socat" command to connect a localhost TCP socket to the Unix
domain socket. This is suitable for somehow running just once since it
makes its own children for handling each connection instance.
/usr/bin/socat -ly \
TCP4-LISTEN:1649,bind=localhost,reuseaddr,fork \
UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/dovecot/auth-client
We chose port 1649 because it's allocated to the ancient kermit
protocol, and we're confident we'll never use that here.
Here is the Java class that we use for speaking to the dovecot auth
process. It's basically a rework of the C++ code in the exim sources.
Because we have a Tomcat environment for this, we used a Catalina
utility for base64 encoding. If you don't have that, you'll have to
find one elsewhere (there is no standard base64 encoder thing in Java;
grrr). There are some things in here that I don't completely
understand, but they are in the exim code and (apparently) do no harm.
You can instantiate one of these objects and then call the doLogin()
method arbitrarily many times. As noted, the class is not threadsafe.
