[Dovecot] Sieve/pigeonhole rejects email addresses for valid UNIX users

2012-08-22 Thread David Anderson
Self-explanatory, I hope (note the period on the end of the username); sieve/pigeonhole does not allow you to have senders which end with a period, which means that any UNIX users with such usernames who send mail have it rejected by sieve: # useradd testuser. # su - testuser. $ mail da...@e

[Dovecot] Alerts when process limits are met

2012-09-01 Thread David Anderson
Hi, I've not found the answer to this question anywhere - please forgive me if I overlooked. I'd like to be able to be automatically alerted if process limits are hit (e.g. max POP3 logins). Is there a way that I can configure a script to be run, in the same way that I can with quota warni

Hi, Thanks. I used monit, and will code something up of that kind - but I was curious as to whether dovecot had something built in; external monitoring is a somewhat blunter tool, as you don't get to know exactly why there was a problem unless you also parse the logs. Tricky to investigate

Trigger for using an sqlite dictionary for quota

2014-07-08 Thread David Anderson
Hi, I'm using Dovecot 2.0.9, and was trying to set up a dictionary process to use an sqlite database for quota management. The wiki page has examples for MySQL and PostgreSQL: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict For sqlite, a trigger needs to be created to get it to work. But I was not suf

[Dovecot] rc28 : can't set quotas with userdb + passwd file

2007-03-27 Thread David Anderson
I'm using dovecot 1.0 rc28 - great software! I have a virtual hosting setup, with passdb and userdb both using a passwd file. I cannot get per-user quotas put in the relevant field of the userdb to work. They appear to be completely ignored; only the setting from /etc/dovecot.conf is applied.

[Dovecot] Suggestion: mod_auth_dovecot

2007-04-02 Thread David Anderson
Hello, I have a suggestion which might be a small and very useful project for a C coder (I'm not one!). As Dovecot makes its authentication interface available to other programs, I think that an Apache module to use it would be very useful. Currently I share an passwd-db file between Dovecot

I forgot to say something! Alternatively, a PAM module pam_dovecot might be equally useful. (Then Apache could use it via mod_auth_pam and other services could use it too, e.g. SSH, FTP but only of course on platforms with PAM). David On Monday 02 Apr 2007, David Anderson wrote: > He

[Dovecot] v1.1 plans - sieve?

2007-04-17 Thread David Anderson
In the 1.1 plans (http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-April/021974.html) I don't see any mention of sieve... is this intentional? Sieve support is a priority for me... I'm going to have to see if I can get it via exim's support if dovecot's not going to add it in 1.1. Cheers, David
