These directories are used exclusively for mail - if any user actually has a local DLM account their home folders are located under /home - but I don't want that mixed with mail service at all. Administrative stuff such as sieve filters, possible error logs, textfiles that are used by other plugins such as vacation (lda-dupes), etc, etc. This way you won't be able to see those in your subscribe list, which is a good thing since they aren't mailboxes/dirs :) Gr, Nils -- Simple guidelines to happiness: Work like you don't need the money, love like your heart has never been broken and dance like no one can see you. pgpbWPK3RPLFs.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [Dovecot] dovecot/postfix+vda
Hey Neil,

Been fighting with postfix+vda/dovecot/
My postfix delivers the emails to /vmail/ which is owned by user
maild:users 501(uid):100(gid) without any problems.
Sep 5 16:32:52 mail dovecot: POP3(samichand):
stat(/vmail/samichand/Maildir/cur) failed: Permission denied
mail:/ # cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%u/Maildir
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb shadow {
}
userdb passwd {
}
user = root
}
dict {
}
plugin {
}
All I want is to be able to access the mail, with the same my
virtual_uid_maps = static:501(set in my postfix main.cf)
Try using a static userdb: http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/Static
HTH HAND!
Nils.

Deliver + sieve is working great. By setting the sieve variable to
sieve, a non-hidden file, it doesn't appear in the folder list. I
made a similar change to pysieved to use a non-hidden folder - in
combination with avelsieve and squirrelmail I now have a
user-maintainable server-side filter solution. Awesome!
Is there a hidden gotcha I'm missing here? It's doing exactly what
I want!
Everything that would for some reason go into the users homedir, you
would be able to reach via Imap.
If I were you, I'd make home and mail point to a different directory,
which could be as simple as home=/var/mail/%d/%n
mail=/var/mail/%d/%n/Maildir. This way, dovecot will only look for mail
in the $HOME/Maildir, but still can do administrative stuff in $HOME.

Re: [Dovecot] quota imap_quota

The querry output looks like this:

CONCAT('5000') | CONCAT('5000') | CONCAT('maildir:storage=', quota) |

| 5000 | 5000 |

+--+++---+
I'm not the expert on the matter, but I think your columns are named
wrong. Try changing the latter part of the user_query to
'CONCAT('maildir:storage=', quote) AS quota FROM users WHERE email = '%u';
As an example, I've posted my userdb query:
user_query = SELECT concat('/mail/', maildir) as home,
concat('maildir:/mail/', maildir) as mail, 108 AS uid, 116 AS gid,
concat('maildir:storage=', quota) AS quota FROM mailbox WHERE username =
'%u' AND active = '1'
Hope this helps!

Re: [Dovecot] Issue with pop3 phpList

No, dovecot uses various plugins for authentication and authorization of users with passwords that belong to them. My guess is that it would be best for you to create a user on your dovecot box specially for phplist, most likely dovecot's default authentication configuration will work just fine for you. CH Is there a special way to just have the pop3 portion of Dovecot load? I CH went through the config file and took out some of the #'s like the docs CH said. Thanks! Disabling the protocol imap section should get you started. Don't forget to enable pop3 as well!
