dovecot + vpopmail

dear list,

dovecot performs better for mailbox sized in GBs,

i am trying to use dovecot with vpopmail.
I am using vpasswd.cdb.
vpopmail version 5.4.24.
Installed dovecot 1.0.10.

it performed better then courier.

the only problem i am facing with dovecot is its not updating vpasswd.cdb.
"last auth" is not updated.
& there is no quota indication on squirrelmail.

kindly suggest if anyone is aware of solution for the above problem.

thanks & regards
dhaval

I did the changeover, and, works fine. No issues that I am aware of. 
Using vpopmail + MySQL, STARTTLS

This sounds like you dont have the quota modules loaded. I use
squirrelmail and it displays the quota fine.

I have the following in my dovecot.conf

protocol imap {
mail_plugins = imap_quota quota trash

and

plugin {
quota = maildir

Why would vpasswd.cdb get modified by a pop or imap process ?

commands in .qmail files


Anybody know how many command lines can be in a .qmail file? I'd like to 
see if we can a maildrop filter to a .qmail forward file. Would be used to 
allow user controlled spam preferences for .qmail forwards.

Best Regards,

Jeff Koch, Intersessions

Yes, maildrop is used on the server. However, maildrop is only used to
send copies to some other email address and the like. The delivery rule
invokes vpopmail.

"last auth" gets updated if i am using courier-authlib.
for me it us required to find user login information & to disable if 
he/she not logged in for 60 days.
this info is not getting updated when i am using dovecot.

I am using dovecot and vpopmail, it DOES get updated for me, I am using 
vpopmail +mysql though, and, am using vchkpw. This sounds like it is 
different than what you are doing.

You can try using vchkpw if you are not.
