Could not override "mail_location" with "userdb_mail" statment in "/etc/passwd"
Hi, ** Using Dovecot 2.2.22 and Postfix 3.1.0 ** I plan to migrate all accounts on my server from mbox to maildir storage but before i want to make some tests on dedicated accounts. To do so i want to overide the general "mail_location" ( mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u ) with "maildir:~/Maildir" only for some test accounts. To do so i modified my "/etc/passwd" file using something like that : testm2m_mydomain.tld:x:2122:2122::/home/mail/testm2m_mydomain.tld:/bin/false:userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir Also tried testm2m_mydomain.tld:x:2122:2122::/home/mail/testm2m_mydomain.tld:/bin/false::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir And as mentioned in the doc (https://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix) i added -d "$USER" in my Postfix "mailbox_command" but it don't seem to work (my new mail_location for this test user is is not taken into account). When i try to make an "doveadm user testm2m_mydomain.tld" i get this : 8< field value uid 2122 gid 2122 home /home/mail/testm2m_mydomain.tld mail mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/testm2m_mydomain.tld system_groups_user testm2m_mydomain.tld 8< My modification is not taken into account ...

And with what NFS version your Maildir are mounted? We use NFS on Ubuntu nfs-kernel-server 1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5.5 nfs-common 1:1.3.4-2.1ubuntu5.5 $ nfsstat | grep nfs Server nfs v4: Now Maildir mounted with these options: type nfs4 (rw,noatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,acregmin=1800,acregmax=1800,acdirmin=1800,acdirmax=1800,hard,nordirplus,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=IP-address,local_lock=none,addr=ip-address) Are you using LDA or LMTP for delivery? Uses LMTP for delivery. After what change did the problem start? It seems that problem exists a long time. -- Best wishes Sohin Vyacheslav

Hi!
You need to use passwd-file driver. I would recommend adding secondary userdb
for overrides in a separate file instead of modifying /etc/passwd.
userdb {
driver = passwd
result_success = continue-ok
}
userdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = /etc/dovecot/overrides
}
and put in overrides
testm2m_mydomain.tld:::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir

IMAP folder subscription on Apple/Mac Mail
Hi, We have a user with an iPhone who can't see their maildir mailboxes on dovecot-2.3.20 on fedora37. I've created a "subscriptions" file with all maildir mailboxes with the proper format (converted from mboxes using mb2md), but the user can only see their inbox. It appears this may be a known problem? https://wiki.dovecot.org/Clients Perhaps it's a problem with my "subscriptions" file, despite being able to see all mailboxes using K-9 on my android? Ideas for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Aki,
Thanks for your answer !
I've just gived a try and it works partially :
- the "userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir" is well taken into account for my user in
"/etc/dovecot/overrides" (testm2m_mydomain.tld)
BUT
- all other accounts (located in "/etc/passwd" and not in
"/etc/dovecot/overrides") could not connect anymore to the Dovecot server
(POP/IMAP...). I got this kind of message in mail mail.log :
8<--
Feb 13 21:58:14 mail dovecot: imap: Error: Authenticated user not found from
userdb, auth lookup id=2769158145 (client-pid=27095 client-id=1)
Feb 13 21:58:14 mail dovecot: imap-login: Internal login failure (pid=27095
id=1) (internal failure, 1 successful auths): user=,
method=PLAIN, rip=x.x.x.x, lip=y.y.y.y, mpid=27096, secured,
session=
8<--
Any idea ?
Thanks for your help !

Try adding both
skip=notfound
and
result_failure = continue-ok
to ignore the not found error, to the override db.
