Temporary forbid some users login ?

hello

is there a way to forbid SOME (  not all ) users's login with dovecot 2 ?
I need to move their IMAP folders to another place with more
disk space but I don't want to stop dovecot IMAP service for
the other users as the moving process will be a bit long ( 1 Tb to move )

thanks

This has been covered before, but if you are using SQL for auth-lookups 
then you can have something like this ins your query;

... AND active='y'

I sure did and it reported no issues.

Take a look to conf.d/auth-deny.conf.ext

You can setup a new passdb (a passwd-file can do it) with deny = yes, 
and add/remove users to that passwd-file as needed.

My gut feeling is version 1.2 because it was last modified on 2010-06-29 
11:37:39(see bottom of page) which is in the 1.2 
days(http://www.dovecot.org/oldnews.html).

Doubts about dsync, mdbox, SIS

I've been running continous dsync backups of our Maildirs for a few
weeks now, with the destination dsync server using mdbox and SIS. The
idea was that the destination server would act as a warm copy of 
all our active users data.

The active servers are using Maildir, and has:

	$ df -h /usr/local/atmail/users/
	Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
	/dev/atmailusers       14T   12T  2.2T  85% /usr/local/atmail/users
	$ df -hi /usr/local/atmail/users/
	Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
	/dev/atmailusers        145M    113M     33M   78% /usr/local/atmail/users

very little of this is compressed (zlib plugin enabled during christmas).

I'm surprised that the destination server is so large, was expecting zlib and
mdbox and SIS would compress it down to much less than what we're seeing 
(12TB -> 5TB):

	$ df -h /srv/mailbackup
	Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
	/dev/mapper/mailbackupvg-mailbackuplv
                      5.7T  4.8T  882G  85% /srv/mailbackup

Lots and lots of the attachement storage is duplicated into identical files,
instead of hard linked.

When running "doveadm purge -u $user", we're seeing lots of

Re: Can anyone tell me quick, if the howto on dovecot.org is actual:


Thank you,
i ask because in the first Part is written:

At the time of writing this document we use these versions of the 
required software (probably newer versions also usable):

CentOS 4.4 (or RHEL 4 update 4 or Fedora 6)
Apache 2.0.52
PHP 5.1.6
MySQL 5.0.22
Dovecot 1.0rc15

And i think , config syntax and organisation of config changed alot 
from 1.x to 2.x , or ?

This is the v2.1 repository that includes unstable development patches:

http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-2.1-patches/
http://hg.rename-it.nl/pigeonhole-0.3-patches/

These are mostly meant for some side-projects I am working on. 
Previously, some of these patches were included in the normal automatic 
builds, making debugging difficult since `tainted' dovecot sources were 
used. The patches also caused a few rather stupid bugs. Therefore, as I 
announced in a mail a few months back,  I started a separate builder for 
testing these patches. So far, there is no reason for anyone except me 
to install and try these. Just use the normal dovecot-2.1 repository as 
documented in the wiki.

Regards,

Stephan.
