[Dovecot] Correction of home and mail directory config
Hello, after running dovecot for a while, I stumbled accross the warning, not to have mail and home directory settings point to one and same directory. Here is the output of dovecot -n: dovecot -n # 1.2.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 i686 Debian 6.0.4 ext3 log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S protocols: imaps imap disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login mail_max_userip_connections: 100 mail_privileged_group: mail mail_uid: 5000 mail_gid: 5000 mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_full_filesystem_access: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock namespace: type: private separator: . inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: auth_socket_path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master postmaster_address: x...@.org mail_plugins: sieve log_path: auth default: mechanisms: plain login passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: static args: uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir allow_all_users=yes socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: vmail In args: uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir allow_all_users=yes I should delete Maildir. My question is: What files do I have to copy from /Maildir to the home directory /var/vmail/%d/%n/ ? Are there other side effects, I have to consider? Thank you very much for your help! Stefan
Re: [Dovecot] quota not being calculated
It looks like my quota isnt being calculated properly after I started
setting quota to a specific folder. The quota in that folder is always
starting out at 0, and only new email is being added to the quota. If I
remove the maildirsize file, and recalculate, it still starts at 0. Once
email arrives in the folder, it gets added to maildirsize. This is with
maildirquota, in perhaps a bit of an exotic config. The idea is to set a
specific quota to Spam folder, using the trash plugin to keep it at a
certain size.
I'll try later, but try if it would work with dict quota file?
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict
This almost works, but maybe there's a small bug. Config (2.1.4)
namespace spam {
type = private
separator = /
inbox = no
prefix = Spam/
location =
maildir:%h/.Spam:INDEX=/var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/indexes/%1u/%2u/%u/.Spam:CONTROL=/var/spool/mail/dovecot-control/%1u/%2u/%u/.Spam
subscriptions = no
list = yes
hidden = yes
}
plugin {
quota = fs:User quota
quota2 = dict:Spam Quota::ns=spam:file:%h/spam-quota
quota2_rule = *:storage=20M
}
Now I see:
. getquotaroot Spam
* QUOTAROOT Spam User quota Spam Quota
* QUOTA User quota (STORAGE 10128 1228800)
* QUOTA Spam Quota (STORAGE 8727 20480)
The problem is that the storage calculated for the spam ns is wrong. It is less
than 1MB. The 8727 seems to be the whole maildir including all folders.
This seems to be caused by:

Re: [Dovecot] default mail quota when using per user quota (news1204: message 6 of 20)

The same configuration in 2.0.13 produces (doveadm quota get -u tester): Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 237803 4194304 5 User quota MESSAGE 531 - 0 and in 2.1.1: Quota name Type Value Limit % User quota STORAGE 0 - 0 User quota MESSAGE 0 - 0 (In the latter test server value should be 0 - because there are no messages there - but limit should be as above. Things do not change after: doveadm quota recalc -u tester) Regards, Nick

Maybe I can beat Charles Marcus to the punch and recommend you upgrade
to the latest version, otherwise you'll run into bugs that have already
been fixed.
Lol... I stopped reading at '...sendmail with dovecot...', otherwise I'd
have beat you to it... ;)

Yeah, they're a newsletter service provider. Will give smtpd_client_connection_count_limit a try.. Setting this to 1 or 2 should severely slow their delivery rate. You can also do rate limiting at a much more fine grained level with a Postfix policy daemon such as postfwd (Postfix firewall daemon), though the setup is a bit more complicated. -- Stan
[Dovecot] How to remove duplicate GUID messages from storage?
Hi, I tried to import messages like this: doveadm import -u usern...@example.org mdbox:/mail/dovecot/example.org/username/mail mbox:/root/mail.txt all This seemed to have imported the same messages in the mail storage, as they were already there. And now I have got a lot of duplicates. Then I deleted the mbox:/root/mail mail stuff from mailboxes folder and the storage remained, with duplicate GUIDs. The following command doveadm -v force-resync -u usern...@example.org INBOX outputs lots of messages like this one, with different GUID doveadm(usern...@example.org): Error: mdbox /mail/dovecot/example.org/username/mail/storage: Duplicate GUID 0b8a032d66a0924fb42cde5f8128 in m.55:45484041 and m.14:52173045 The messages at m.55:45484041 and m.14:52173045 have the same content, since they were seemingly imported from the mail store itself, they are in the storage twice now and require twice as much disk space as before. How can I manually remove these identical, duplicate messages from the storage to save space? Dovecot does not do it automatically. Kind regards, Daniel
