Re: Trash plugin unexpected results

[Stephan H]

Something about the calculation is wrong.  The user I was testing with only
had the 1 large email in the trash with a 30 MB quota.  If I need 17.5 MB
and I have a 16MB file I can delete, then removing the file releases enough
space.  It seems as though the trash plugin only accounts for email files
during calculations, not also including quota total.

Re: hosting emails at home

[Stephan H]

I have dovecot postfix setup on my home server as well.  I use a virtual
server in the cloud as my mx record and mail relay and have my home record
on dynamic dns.  It's really effective.

Re: hosting emails at home

Which part?  Hosting the email server at home or the relay in the cloud?

Re: hosting emails at home

[Stephan H]

Originally I was on a business connection, so no port blocking.  I moved to
a residential connection at home and they blocked port 25.  So  I  enabled
my VPS in the cloud to relay my mail to the imap server in my home.  It's a
very simple setup.  I only allow a couple IPs to relay anything through (
my home IP and other VPS's).  Any other connection must be delivering to my
IP or it's rejected.  Then In the transport maps tell it to utilize a non
standard port

domain.com  relay:[home.domain.com:28]

On the home server's postfix I just define the relay host which also uses a
non standard port

relayhost: [vps1.domain.com:26]

At this point you just have to setup your postfix/dovecot config how you
want.  I'm using postfixadmin and both postfix and dovecot use mysql to
determine domains, users, and passwords.
