Dovecot + Pigeonhole + Quotas

Hello,

I just tried to enable Pieonhole on my installation and ran into a couple of issues.

After fixing my dovecot.conf for correct patching my CustomBuild, I noticed that Quotas is no longer working.

I tried to follow this guide with no results: http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1461

Then, after using Google found this guide: https://www.plugins-da.net/info/exim-quotas-and-pigeonhole courtesy of zEitEr, yet it is not working for me.

Is there any updated guide on how to enable Quotas with Pigeonhole?

Thanks!

Jose

Hello,

Why do you think it's not working? Is that you don't see email box size in Roundcube? Or other?
 
1. make sure to have the section:

Code: 
protocol imap {
  mail_plugins = quota imap_quota
}

in /etc/devocot/dovecot.conf and restart dovecot.


2. re-install roundcube (remove or rename):

Code: 
mv /var/www/html/roundcubemail-1.0.3 /var/www/html/roundcubemail-1.0.3~moved
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build roundcube

That should help, at least this helped me, just tested now.

p.s. and of course make sure password files were updated according this: http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1461


Please fix it in custombuild script, so step 1 would be done automatically.
 
Alex,

I did add step one and recompiled Roundcube, afterwards I would get errors on some email clients. (for example AquaMail for Android)

I also had to load the default dovecot.conf from Directadmin: http://files.directadmin.com/services/custombuild/dovecot.conf.2.0 as my previous changes to enable Quota broke the .patch file on Hatch 3.

After further checking logs, I noticed also Exim failed while Pigeonhole was enabled. After disabling it, the queue was processed and all email was delivered. The error messages for all inbound email were like this:

Code: 
2014-10-13 19:02:48 H=col004-omc1s16.hotmail.com [65.55.34.26] X=TLSv1.2:AES256-SHA256:256 F=<[email protected]> temporarily rejected RCPT <[email protected]>: transport "dovecot_lmtp_udp" not found in virtual_user router
2014-10-13 19:02:48 H=col004-omc1s16.hotmail.com [65.55.34.26] incomplete transaction (RSET) from <[email protected]>

I'm sure both issues are related.
 
The guide you refer to (from my site) is 1 year old already and it has not been reviewed since that time.

For now all what you should do is the following:

1. have default /etc/exim.conf and /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf from custombuild 2.

renaming files (to get defaults later):

Code: 
mv /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf~moved
mv /etc/exim.conf /etc/exim.conf~moved

re-install exim/dovecot with pigeonhole support

Code: 
./build update
./build set exim yes
./build set dovecot yes
./build set pigeonhole yes
./build exim
./build dovecot

2. add a section:

Code: 
protocol imap {
  mail_plugins = quota imap_quota
}
in /etc/devocot/dovecot.conf and restart dovecot.


3. re-install roundcube (remove or rename):

Code: 
export file=`ls -1d /var/www/html/roundcubemail-*`; mv $file $file~moved
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build roundcube


4. Follow this http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1461

That's all about using CustomBuild 2.x.
