Re: Fwd: Re: [vchkpw] Re: maildir++ patch doesn't solve the problem

The quota update hasn't been solved yet.
The README.quota file in vpopmail-5.2 states that :

qmail-pop3d does not update maildirsize when you delete messages.  This
   problem will correct itself within 15 minutes, since the Maildir++ spec
   dictates that the maildirsize file must be recalculated at least every
   15 minutes.  But there are 2 ways to avoid this:

   1. Patch qmail with the qmail-pop3d-maildirquota.patch in the contrib
      directory.
   2. Use courier's pop server which ships with courier-imap.  It supports
      maildirquotas natively.  See http://www.inter7.com/courierimap for
      details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have several problems:

1.The maildirsize update does not happen after 15 minutes.
2.I patched qmail with qmail-pop3d-maildirquota.patch but when i started to issue the make setup check command an error occured in the qmail-pop3d.c file.

I really need a solution to this problem or even a document stating it.

Many thanks.

Dear sir,

I used your mailfilter script
I don't know if this patch solves the problem i stated before:
The problem is that the quota displayed after I retrieve mails through pop3 is not updated.

Thanks

Try using courier maildrop for delivery instead of vdelivermail.

I just switched all my domains (on nfs) .qmail-default's to invoke maildrop
instead of vdelivermail also because of problems with maildirsize not being
rebuilt and/or getting really screwed up. The problem happened very randomly
and cannot be duplicated easily, but happens over days to random
accounts/domains that used vdelivermail.

I am doing this using two files in each domain directory, .qmail-default and
mailfilter (basic version no filtering), both have to be owned by vpopmail and
vchkpw, and chmod 700 or it will not work

Please let me know if there is a better way..

# cat .qmail-default
| /usr/local/bin/maildrop mailfilter

# cat mailfilter
SHELL="/bin/sh"
import EXT
import HOST
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]

`test -d $VHOME/Maildir`
if ( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
   echo "Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)"
   EXITCODE=100
   exit
}

# Make sure the quota file is in place.
# Vpopmail does not create it by default.
# Vpopmail also removes it when you change the quota.
`test -s "$VHOME/Maildir/maildirsize"`
if ( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
   `/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -Q [EMAIL PROTECTED]

   `test -s "$VHOME/Maildir/maildirsize"`
   if ( $RETURNCODE == 0 )
   {
      `/usr/sbin/chown vpopmail:vchkpw $VHOME/Maildir/maildirsize`
      `/bin/chmod 640 $VHOME/Maildir/maildirsize`
   }
}

# Default delivery
exception {
        to "$VHOME/Maildir/"
}


I have another mailfilter template which does spam filtering with spamassassin
2.55 (w/ mysql prefs per user), which I enable only for a specific domain, or
can be modified to do per-user when invoked from user's .qmail file.
