[Dovecot] [Dovecot 1.1.11] Dovecot cannot refresh the maildirsize
Dear all, My problem is below: - quota for user Demo is 3MB and Demo maildir is now 2.2MB - then I sent an email with attachment (600KB) to demo@ - I relogin to account Demo but nothing changed (maildirsize in Maildir still not changed) - then I DELETE the maildirsize file and relogin, the maildirsize is now updated. --- however that's what not I expected as I should delete the maildirsize, I wonder why the maildirsize file is not updated right after an incoming email or after I relogin...? Did I made something wrong? Below is my dovecot config: dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.18-92.el5 i686 CentOS release 5.2 (Final) ext3 log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log.quota.0313 login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login mail_gid: 100 mail_location: maildir:/home/%u/Maildir mail_debug: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf plugin: quota: maildir:User quota quota_rule: *:storage=5G quota_warning: storage=80%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 80 quota_warning2: storage=82%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 82 quota_warning3: storage=84%% /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 84 [r...@smail Maildir]# grep -v '^ *\(#.*\)\?$' /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf hosts = ldaphost.tma.com.vn dn = cn=Administrator,dc=tma,dc=com,dc=vn dnpass = secret auth_bind = yes auth_bind_userdn = uid=%u,ou=Users,dc=tma,dc=com,dc=vn ldap_version = 3 base = ou=Users,dc=tma,dc=com,dc=vn scope = subtree user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uid=uid,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$M user_filter = ((objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = ((objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)) default_pass_scheme = CRYPT Manipulation in Maildir // there is nochange when login after receiving an email [r...@mail Maildir]# cat maildirsize 3145728S 2246642 149 //remove maildirsize [r...@mail Maildir]# rm maildirsize [r...@mail Maildir]# cat maildirsize cat: maildirsize: No such file or directory // relogin [r...@mail Maildir]# cat maildirsize 3145728S 2897371 152 Thanks for your response.

What do you use as your MDA? Not Dovecot's deliver I suppose? You need to be using an MDA that supports maildirsize updates, preferrably deliver. BTW. Please don't post new mails by replying to an existing one. It messes up threading.

I'm sorry! I didn't intend to merge in this message. I'm using sendmail and the MDA is procmail. Is that supported the maildirsize update or I should set up the dovecot's deliver?

procmail doesn't support maildirsize updates, so that's the problem. Switching to deliver would solve it. Also even if you use some other MDA that supports maildirsize updates, they don't support the quota warnings you configured, only deliver will do that.
