Hi there! I just installed and configured a Wheezy system following this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-wheezy-nginx-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3 My vmail folder is an encrypted ENCFS folder. My Mailserver is up and running. However, the following error is reoccurring whenever I receive / send an email: Code: server dovecot: lda([email protected]): Error: link(/var/vmail/XXXYYY.com/mail/.temp.host.XXXYYY.com.30694.15e477e2f15f0156, /var/vmail/XXXYYY.com/mail/.quotausage.lock) failed: Operation not permitted server dovecot: lda([email protected]): Error: file dict commit: file_dotlock_open(/var/vmail/XXXYYY.com/mail/.quotausage) failed: Operation not permitted server dovecot: lda([email protected]): Error: dict quota: Quota update failed, it's now desynced There are no ".quotausage"-files in my mail folders. setting or changing the quota of an email account didn't change anything. I already reconfigured and resented ISPConfig (several times). My dovecot configuration files are unchanged. I already restarted quota. Any ideas? Thanks!
quotacheck -avugm Code: quotacheck: Quota for users is enabled on mountpoint / so quotacheck might damage the file. Please turn quotas off or use -f to force checking. cat /proc/user_beancounters Code: cat: /proc/user_beancounters: No such file or directory
@bax: Seems as if your encrypted filesystem is not compatible with dovecot as it blocks writes or symlinks that dovecot creates in the mailfolders. I dont see any benefits in using encfs on a mailserver, the mail folder has be writable for various system daemons at runtime, so the only benefit might be if someone steals your hardware without doing a copy of your mail folders first before he unplugs the hardware. The more likely reason for emails being stolen is that someone hacks your server while it is running and encfs will not help you then. @Srijan: Mailquota is handled by the mail daemon (dovecot) internally as we are using a virtual mail system. Filesystem quota is not used here.
@till I will try to copy the contents of vmail and put them back after unmounting the encfs-mount. is there anything I should do afterwards to reenable dovecot's quota system (restart dovecot of course – but otherwise? resync ISPConfig, Reconfigure,…?) Thanks
It seems that quota is OK at your end. Did you implemented quota on mail server? You need to proceed like this. Note put the limit for the quota. Be careful 0 means unlimited, now you can give any value as per your requirement. Br// Srijan
Quota is implemented. I don't have any limits set yet, but the used space is displayed correctly in ISPConfig. @till I'm in the process of copying back the formerly encrypted files to /var/vmail However I'm now getting the following error in mail.error Code: server dovecot: master: Warning: /var/vmail is no longer mounted. If this is intentional, remove it with doveadm mount doveadm mount list shows this: Code: path state / online ! /var/vmail online Emails are received preoberly.
/var/vmail is no separate mount anymore, so you should try to remove the /var/vmail mountpoint from the dovecot mount list to get rid of this error.
Of course not! Thank you for pointing this out – didn't get this obvious fact. I removed it, the message is of course gone now.
