# # Dovecot configuration for Postfix Admin # Originally written by: Massimo Danieli # Revised by: Sampsa Hario for Dovecot v1.0 # More complete Dovecot documentation: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict http://www.opensourcehowto.org/how-to/mysql/mysql-users-postfixadmin-postfix-dovecot--squirrelmail-with-userprefs-stored-in-mysql.html Here are the relevant parts of Dovecot v1.0.x configuration for Postfixadmin setup. Please refer to Dovecot documentation for complete information. The setup gets userdb and passdb info from MySQL as well as quotas, and uses dict backend to store used quotas as key=value pairs so that they can be viewed real-time in Postfixadmin. 1. Dovecot setup ----------------- default_mail_env = maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%u/ (dovecot 1.0.7 calls this mail_location ... ie.. mail_location = maildir:/...../%u ) auth default { mechanisms plain userdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql-example.conf args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } passdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql-example.conf args = /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf } } # Valid UID range for users, defaults to 500 and above. first_valid_uid = 1001 # Change this to your postfix UID 2. Dovecot mysql setup ---------------------- Below you'll find the relevant part of dovecot-mysql.conf file regarding our setup. Things you may need to change are db_password, uid and gid: connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfix driver = mysql # Default password scheme. # depends on your $CONF['encrypt'] setting: # md5crypt -> MD5-CRYPT # md5 -> PLAIN-MD5 # cleartext -> PLAIN default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT # Query to retrieve password. user can be used to retrieve username in other # formats also. password_query = SELECT username AS user,password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' # Query to retrieve user information. user_query = SELECT maildir, 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' for dovecot 1.2: (for PostgreSQL, replace 'CONCAT(a, b)' with 'a || b') user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/home/vmail/', maildir) AS home, 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid, CONCAT('*:bytes=', quota) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' NB! The GID and UID are for postfix user and group ID, NOT MySQL user and group ID. 3. Dovecot v1.0 quota support (optional) ---------------------------------------- Please note that you need to use Dovecot's own local delivery agent to enforce and update quotas. Then you can view real-time used quotas in Postfixadmin. Add to dovecot.conf: ## IMAP quota protocol imap { quota = dict:storage=200000 proxy::quota } ## POP quota protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota } ## Local Delivery Agent protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota } ## Dictionary DB proxy dict { quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot-dict-quota.conf } ## Default quota values plugin { quota = dict:storage=200000 proxy::quota } Change dovecot-mysql.conf to return quota values: for MySQL: user_query = SELECT maildir, 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid, CONCAT('dict:storage=',floor(quota/1000),' proxy::quota') as quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' for PostgreSQL: user_query = SELECT maildir, 1001 AS uid, 1001 AS gid, 'dict:storage=' || floor(quota/1000) || '::proxy::quota' as quota FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active='1' Create file dovecot-dict-quota.conf: driver = mysql connect = host=localhost dbname=postfix user=postfix password=postfix default_pass_scheme = MD5-CRYPT table = quota select_field = current where_field = path username_field = username Create database in Mysql: (This is automatically done by postfixadmin's setup.php) Enable quota support in Postfixadmin config.inc.php: $CONF['used_quotas'] = 'YES'; $CONF['quota'] = 'YES'; Note: The above text describes the configuration for dovecot 1.0 & 1.1 quota table format. If you use dovecot 1.2 or newer, - use the 'quota2' table (also created by setup.php) - set $CONF['new_quota_table'] = 'YES'
