Pigeonhole and email quotas

[zEitEr]

I've managed to enable quotas, this error I've got if quotas are exceeded:

LMTP error after end of data: 552 5.2.2 <[email protected]> Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)

I've followed this http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration

I've had to modify passwd file:

# cat /etc/virtual/domain.com/passwd
po4ta:$1$************:503:12::/home/username/imap/domain.com/po4ta:/bin/false:userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=50M
test:$1$************:503:12::/home/username/imap/domain.com/test:/bin/false:userdb_quota_rule=*:bytes=1M

So, I guess we need changes in Directadmin.

p.s. For now I'm running a merge files script, which is executed by Directadmin. Could we have it in Directadmin?

Hello,

Just compiling the binaries now with this feature, will upload pre-release binaries shortly:
http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1461

It's off by default, so just needs to be turned on and all passwd files rewritten.

Alex, what did you change in dovecot regarding quota? There are different steps to manage from your how-to dovecot+exim+manageisieve+pigeonhole?

I've followed this http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration and information on how to modify dovecot.conf can be found on my site, please follow one of the links in my signature (check Information section on the site).

You're welcome. Good to know that.

With that method Exim keeps logging that message has been delivered and dovecot drops it immediatelly (which means it's lost). Can we keep the message in exim queue for a while before declining it completelly?
Another one - can "Rejected: xx" message be customised somehow?

Hello,

1. Update exim.conf

What do you see with

tail /etc/exim.conf

exim.conf version 4.3.4 has the following lines:

[root@server etc]# tail /etc/exim.conf
##################################################################################
# RETRY CONFIGURATION
##################################################################################
#EDIT#65:
# Domain               Error       Retries
# ------               -----       -------
begin retry
*                      quota
*                      *           F,2h,15m; G,16h,1h,1.5; F,4d,8h
# End of Exim 4 configuration

If you see the same you might need to remove/modify line:

*                      quota

and restart exim.

2. Update dovecot configs:

add

quota_full_tempfail = yes

in protocol section for lmtp or lda (depending of what protocol you use).

p.s. That's up to you to protect your configs from being overwritten by custombuild.
