In my SQL configuration I have something like this:
user_query = \
SELECT _home AS home, _uid AS uid, _gid AS gid \
FROM virtual_mailboxes \
WHERE _recipient='%u' AND _active=1
Using this I can give certain users a different UID/GID, should I want
to. But if I'm not mistaken you can also statically configure the uid
and gid.
On page http://wiki2.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers, the last example says:
userdb {
driver = static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/virtual/%d/%n
}
I guess you should be able to adapt this to your SQL config.

Re: [Dovecot] INBOX protected foldername?
Hello,
Since 2.1.17 fixes a lot of bugs of 2.1.7, I would propose you to open a
bug report on the dovecot package in bugs.debian.org and list some of the
bugs which have been fixed in the meantime. The easiest way to do so
is to use the reportbug tool in Debian.
hmm, upgrading should fix some older errors but in my case i got new ones.
i went to 2.1.17 from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/ and did my changes to
source debs and compiled my packages.
At the moment i update from 2.1.7 to 2.1.17 my userdb-settings in mysql-db
are not working any more.
passdb and userdb directives are like this:
passdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
driver = sql
}
userdb {
driver = prefetch
}
namespace is this:
namespace inbox {
inbox = yes
}
PasswordQuery with prefetching userdb is this:
password_query = SELECT `inbox` as `user`, `password`, `home` as
userdb_home, `uid` AS userdb_uid, `gid` AS userdb_gid, `userdb_import` AS
userdb_userdb_import FROM `mail_users` WHERE `login` = '%u' AND `active`='Y'
I tested also without prefetching - same result.
In mysql in field userdb_import i have my TAB-separated XLIST Settings:
namespace/inbox/mailbox=Sentnamespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/name=Sent
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/auto=subscribe
namespace/inbox/mailbox/Sent/special_use=\Sent

[Dovecot] Quota to use limits from LDAP and usage from FS
Hi, I'm new to Dovecot (switching from Cyrus). I'm using Dovecot 2.1.7 from Ubuntu 13.04. Maildir data is stored on a Linux ext4 filesystem with quotas. I would like to use mail quota in a way, so that the usage values are taken from the filesystem's quota system by the fs backend, while the per-user limits get read from LDAP. Due to debugging messages, it's my impression that reading the limits from LDAP works quite well when the user process starts, but when IMAP access actually takes place, the fs backend uses the filesystem's soft limits. Can anybody confirm this behavior or is there a way to achieve what I intend? -frank signature.asc Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail

[Dovecot] IMAP Proxying and SSL Certificates on OpenBSD
Hi list,
I am currently trying to configure dovecot to act as a imap proxy in front of a
Groupwise server. Because of a policy no services of the gw server may be
directly served to the web. So currently this is only a security measure.
Dovecot was previously used for providing sasl-auth capabilities to postfix.
IMAP proxy features should be added now. Authentication backend is LDAP. OS is
OpenBSD 5.2. Dovecot version is 2.1.8.
Currently I am fighting with the following error in the logs:
dovecot: master: Dovecot v2.1.8 starting up
dovecot: auth: Warning: userdb passwd: Move templates args to override_fields

block is just not having the desired effect.
I've been at this for the better part of two days now, and have read hundreds
(if not thousands) of web pages. I don't know what I am missing.

Progress (I know you are all reading this with bated breath in eager

I changed the user_query to
select 89 as uid, 125 as gid, concat('/usr/local/virtual/', maildir) from
mailbox where username = '%u'
and got a new error, which I think reveals the source of the problem:
Error: user lists@*munged*: Mail access for users with UID 89 not permitted
(see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup).
So, I set first_valid_uid = 89 and I get a NEW error.

So, the uid and gid are now correct, the maildir path is correct, and it is

[Dovecot] lda and home directory
Hello, I am using qmail and lda configured such that lda should not have to do a lookup for delivery. I set my defaultdelivery like so: |HOME=/home/mail/$USER /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda Given that the email address being delivered to is bob.mil...@computerisms.com, I expect $USER to be equal to bob.miller and $HOME to expand to /home/mail/bob.miller/. The problem is lda reports: Debug:_Home_dir_not_found:_/home/mail/bob.mil...@computerisms.com/ The whole system up to here uses only the bob.miller part, and I can't find where it keeps adding the domain part from. I have tried changing all sorts of variables and config values to try and make it quit adding the domain part, but no matter what I change lda still tries to deliver the email address as username. The only measure of success I can report is that in some configurations mail delivers to /home/mail//. Where exactly is dovecot getting this value? Side question: I note in places throughout the wiki and internet variables such as $EXT, $USER, $DEST_USERNAME, and $FROM_ENVELOPE are used. I can find no documentation, beyond my own common sense anyway, to explain how/when these variables are expanded, and what I do find doesn't seem consistent to me. For example, on the CheckPassword page, $USER is implied to expand to Username, which could contain the domain or not. However on the lda/qmail page, the variable shown is $EXT@ $USER, which implies $USER will expand as only the domain part after the @ symbol and $EXT as everything before, yet changing the variable from $USER to $EXT in my defaultdelivery file has $HOME expand to /home/mail//. Where do I find the story on how these variables (as opposed to the % variables) work? (or more specifically, is there a $VAR I can use instead of $USER that will expand to just the part before the @?) -- Computerisms Bob Miller 867-334-7117 / 867-633-3760 http://computerisms.ca

and it has stopped complaining.
However, when I login to any virtual account, there is no mail shown.
Any other debug flags I can turn on?
do I have to build home to match maildir? And if so, how?

[Dovecot] dovecot solr position index
Hi I am currently running dovecot 2.2.5 and solr 4.4.0 I am using the pre supplied schema.xml with dovecot with a single change f field type from test to text_general to get it running. When I do a multi word search in a mailbox, solr complains that a position index has not been built, throws a 500 error and dovecot reverts back to searching each mail message. Does anyone know what change I need to make to the solr schema to build the position index? -- View this message in context: http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/dovecot-solr-position-index-tp43897.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: [Dovecot] lda and home directory
Hi Rick, I had/have the same issue. In Dovecot 1.x I was able to use LDA with vpopmail and only environment variables to deliver to a home directory. I was never able to get it to work with Dovecot 2.x - don't know if using environment variables is depricated, but I ended up having to setup an auth server to use lda with qmail/vpopmail. :( My hosting server uses vpopmail and lda, and I don't recall having to do that. If you want to compare configs, let me know. In this case, I authenticate against samba active directory, and a (seemingly) small config change there led me on an epic quest of configuration updates through the whole email system until I got stuck in this lda box that didn't even have a problem in it. sigh. I was doing so well But you showed me the outside of the box: For your environment variable questions, those come from Qmail. See: http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#environment-variables It's stunningly obvious now that you point it out. S obvious, in fact, I probably would have been weeks figuring it out. Thank you so much... change my defaultdelivery to: |HOME=/home/mail/$LOCAL /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda and lda looks for the correct directory again. I guess environment variables are not deprecated, presumably that's good news?

# after they are 21 days old to a yearly folder
