Hi!
The quota rule setup you have, just says that you can save
additional 100M to Trash. It does not mean that your total quota is
increased. If your mailbox size is 100M due to mail being in Trash,
you're still over the 1M quota for other mailboxes than Trash.
Hello,
I must be missing something basic. If the 100M is not in addition to
the 1M total, then what is it in additional to? How does it apply and
to what?
It applies when you are storing mails to INBOX.Trash.

Re: Custom SASL authentication
Hello R.,
Thank you for the reply.

Interesting...
I'm not sure why you would need to set : "NULL AS password, 'Y' as
nopassword", but then
I haven't seen the rest of your auth config. This would seem to allow
any password but
succeed if it matches the rest of the query.
The query does not return the password, only the hash, thus "NULL AS
password", as I understand it. It is documented. The 'Y' as no
password is found earlier in this thread.
It seemed a bit awkward to me to embed static variables in the query
which
are always going to be the same.
In the auth- config, or 10-mail.conf I just set:-
# Defaults:
mail_uid = vmail
mail_gid = vmail
mail_home = /var/lib/vmail/%d/%n
# (this is set elsewhere in 10-mail.conf.)
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
I think you are right. My eye was on migrating global settings to SQL
accounts but it probably will not happen. Nevertheless, I suspect it
adds little burden having static variables given it requires no database
access, no?
userdb can still override these if needed, but it means that the query
is a lot simpler and if one of the queries doesn't return home/uid/gid
etc, it's always going to be set anyway.
Seems to me it is a matter of preference.
What does the "crypt" bit of "IF (crypt & 1, SHA2('%w',512)" do? crypt
it before running the select?
Why not just set:
default_pass_scheme = ?
"crypt" bit 0 is a flag to encrypt passwords. I have chosen a custom
hash. Can I replace it with "default_pass_scheme = ?"?

David

For SASL authentication, my thought first was to apply the same hash to
the issued password and compare it with the hashed password in the
database. I soon discovered the sql driver supplied by Dovecot doesn't
provide that ability, unless I'm missing something.
I'm looking for documentation on how to implement a custom

For verifying password you could use MYHASH('%w') in your passdb sql
lookup. You need to include `'Y' as nopassword` in this case, and this
will cause wrong password to become unknown user error.

I have done some testing and found the following queries to work for
implementing MySQL SHA2 passwords for authentication:
1 user_query:
2
3 SELECT
4 email AS user,
5 if (
6 (select crypt & 1 from view_users where email='%u'),
7 (select password from view_users where email='%u' and
password=SHA2('%w',512)),
8 (select password from view_users where email='%u' and
password='%w')
9 ) as password,
10 '/var/lib/vmail/%d/%n' AS home,
11 'maildir:/var/lib/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir' AS mail,
12 5000 AS uid,
13 5000 AS gid
14 FROM
15 view_users
16 WHERE
17 email = '%u' AND enable = '1'
18
19
20 password_query:
21
22 SELECT
23 email AS user,
24 if (
25 (select crypt & 1 from view_users where email='%u'),
26 (select password from view_users where email='%u' and
password=SHA2('%w',512)),
27 (select password from view_users where email='%u' and
password='%w')
28 ) as password
29 FROM
30 view_users
31 WHERE
32 email = '%u' AND enable = '1'
But it seems wasteful in the number of queries required. Looking for
ideas to consolidate queries.
Also, do the Dovecot query strings have to be s single query or can
there be a query to set a variable, for example, to use in subsequent
queries?

[Dovecot] multiple namespaces, Mac OS X
After installing a new server with postfix/dovecot I found that the Mac OS X
mail client does not see email in subfolders. It seemed to be related to the
namespace. From dovecot.conf:
namespace private {
separator = .
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = yes
hidden = no
}
After googling I found that I might need to add a default namespace with an
empty prefix so I added this:
namespace private {
separator = .
prefix =
inbox = yes
hidden = no
}
Then I was able to access mail in subfolders using the Mac mail client.
However, using Kmail I can see both namespaces, where all the folders are
listed under the inbox at the same level, and where all folders are listed
one level below the inbox. I don't really want to keep my "INBOX." prefix so
existing accounts remain unchanged. How do I solve this?
The current dovecot.conf is below.

[Dovecot] warning: connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory
I have installed postfix, dovecot, mysql as per: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL ..on Debian Etch. I thought mailboxes were created by postfixadmin or postfix but I only get an error: warning: connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory ..in the postfix log. No /var/vmail/example.com is created. After creating the domain directory and user directory, applying correct ownership, still it made no difference. I checked my main.cf: virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail Any clues? Thanks! David Koski [EMAIL PROTECTED]
