[Dovecot] Enforcing Dovecot Quotas
Hello,
I have been looking at enforcing quotas for users of my mail system (postfix
and Dovecot v1.2). Have tried to follow a few tuts on the web but its not
having the desired effect. Essentially I can still send and receive mail on
an account that I believe has had its quota exceeded.
In my main.cf, I have:
userdb sql {
args = /etc/dovecot/mysql/dovecot-mysql.conf
}
passdb sql {
args = /etc/dovecot/mysql/dovecot-mysql.conf
}
and...
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = quota
}
protocol imap {
mail_plugins = quota imap_quota
}
plugin {
quota_exceeded_message = You have exceeded the maximum quota for
your mailbox
}
the dovecot sql (mysql) file has the following query for pulling out user
ids and quotas etc:
user_query = SELECT maildir, mymailuser as uid, mymailgroup as
gid,concat('maildir:storage=',quota) as quota FROM virtual_mailbox WHERE
username = '%u'
I have set one of my users to have a quota of 1 (so one byte I believe) so
it should be over the limit pretty much immediately.
Looking at the logs I can see that the system is picking up on the quota
limit but doesn't seem to enforce it.
Apr 27 10:29:02 deliver(t...@testdomain.com): Info: auth input:
quota=maildir:storage=1
Apr 27 10:29:02 deliver(t...@testdomain.com): Info: Quota root:
name=storage=1 backend=maildir args=
Any ideas? Am i missing something?

[Dovecot] Exim / Dovecot and AUTH LOGIN
Hi to both adressed mailing lists,
I followed the instructions in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/EximAndDovecotSASL
exim.conf:
| plain:
| driver = dovecot
| public_name = PLAIN
| server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
| server_set_id = $auth1
|
| login:
| driver = dovecot
| public_name = LOGIN
| server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
| server_set_id = $auth1
10-master.conf for dovecot:
| service auth {
| # auth_socket_path points to this userdb socket by default. It's typically
| # used by dovecot-lda, doveadm, possibly imap process, etc. Its default
| # permissions make it readable only by root, but you may need to relax
these
| # permissions. Users that have access to this socket are able to get a
list
| # of all usernames and get results of everyone's userdb lookups.
| # unix_listener auth-userdb {
| #mode = 0600
| #user =
| #group =
| # }
|
| # Exim SMTP AUTH
| unix_listener auth-client {
| mode = 0660
| user = exim
| group = exim
| }
PLAIN Authentication works perfect, LOGIN gives
2012-05-08 15:08:43 login authenticator failed for xx.tu-berlin.de
[130.149.X.YY]: 435 Unable to authenticate at present: authentication socket

Where is the problem?
Kind regards,

[Dovecot] lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox not working?
Dovecot 2.1.6, with lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox=yes recipient_delimiter=+ messages addressed to user+detail@domain are always delivered to INBOX regardless if detail mailbox already exists or lda_mailbox_autocreate=yes. Anything else needed to enable lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox feature? Thanks, Oscar

[Dovecot] Director and backend on the same server
I have setup director and a backend dovecot service on the same machine using different ports. The backend service is listening on the default 24, 110 and 143 for lmtp, pop3 and imap respectively. Director is listening on 10024, 10110 and 10143 for the same respective services. I can get this setup to work if I have one backend server on a different IP listening on 10024, it seems director tries to use the same port it is listening on when making backend connections. If I point it to the local backend server, it tries to connect to itself which fails. Is there a way to specify the backend ports that director tries to connect to? I see there is a way to specify the port in director_servers but I'm not sure how I would specify the different ports for the different backend services, if this is even possible.
Re: [Dovecot] Thunderbird STARTTLS error
I'm just learning about this, but I was able to get it working recently. Also I haven't read your earlier posts. Did you receive intermediate certificates from StartCom? When I got my certificate, I had to concatenate together the contents of the domain_name.crt file and the gd_bundle.crt file. That concatenated file is the one I specify for ssl_cert_file. It has 4 certificates in it. I ask because when I run the openssl command, my certificate chain has 4 sections where yours only has one. Does your ssl.cert have the intermediate certificates in it?

i would try something like in the wiki:
plugin {
quota = maildir:User quota
quota_exceeded_message = You have exceeded
}
Never used mysql for userdb or passdb though. Perhaps this would work:
user_query = SELECT maildir, mymailuser as uid, mymailgroup as
gid,concat('*:storage=',quota) as quota_rule FROM virtual_mailbox
WHERE
username = '%u

The passdb lookup can return which port to connect to. Director only sets the destination IP, everything else happens the same as with non-director proxying: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/ExtraFields/Proxy

[Dovecot] IMAP NOTIFY extension
your work on NOTIFY was brought to my attention, and I see it hasn't been changed in two months, a week after you announced it. a few users and some mail admins have been wanting something like this for k9 mail, which I help develop. what is the current status? is it worth installing and starting work in getting k9 to support it yet? I'd offer help on your end, but I just know java and perl. c code usually confuses me (i keep meaning to learn, but...). thanks! -ashley -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.

I'm planning on continuing it, but first I'll need to get dsync rewrite finished. It's getting close.. I think you should be able to already test the NOTIFY code, at least if your main purpose is to see when non-selected mailboxes change. My TODO list says: - check how FlagChange handles HIGHESTMODSEQ when it hasn't previously been enabled - fetch-att for NOTIFY and for SEARCH UPDATE - implement MailboxName, SubscriptionChange Also I think you must have mailbox_list_indexes=yes for NOTIFY to see any changes. The fetch-att means that you can't tell Dovecot to push FETCH fields for new messages.
