I think we should aim at dropping courier support. Now that there's a clean way to migrate all the mailboxes without any kind of information loss, there is simply no reason to stick with courier anymore. Dovecot is a superior piece of software, that can do everything courier can, plus some extra things. Further, it performs better in general (a lot better in some cases).

I opposed to a dovecot transition in the past (on the other project). The reason was simple: in there, we supported older debian versions (lenny) and other oses/distros that did not include dovecot >=1.1. Until dovecot 1.1 there was no clean way to migrate existing mailboxes, so dropping courier support would have meant unclean migrations (with already downloaded mails being downloaded again by the clients). However, this is not an issue anymore because all of the imscp's supported distros/versions *do* have dovecot > 1.1.

AFAIK, the only reason courier is still supported in imscp is because nuxwin wanted to keep courier, arguing that "he was fine with it and didn't want to change". Since this is obviously not a sound reason, and nuxwin is not around anymore, my opinion now is that we should move forward, drop courier, and try to achieve the best panel behaviour we can.

In this case, there should be at least a per-domain maximum mailbox quota limit, just like there is one for the disk space. The only thing I am speaking about here is a new limit in the hosting plans, stating the maximum cumulative quota that can be assigned to mailboxes of each domain. This is, a limit of "1Gb" should allow for either a 1Gb mailbox or 10 100Mb mailboxes, but not a 10Gb mailbox.

Additionally, the panel should let admins choose if the mail space is intended to be counted towards the disk quota or not. If it is not, then mail space is only limited by the mail quota above, and is enforced in real time by dovecot. Otherwise, the nighly script will detect disk oversize in the nighly run and disable FTP access (just as it does right now).

Hello ;

When the cat is away, the mice dance ... Well, courier is also a great piece of software and more easy to maintain than dovecot and maybe more faster than dovecot too. Quotas can be implemented with both courier and dovecot.

For now we still install procmail for nothing. Installing such MDA without using it has not sense. Maildrop can replace procmail and be used for quotas.

To resume, and to make all users happy (it's our primary goal there), I'll implement quotas for both courier and dovecot.

Thanks

Whats the folder problem? Anything that I should be aware of?

Thanks,
Rob

Hello ;

For now, any subscribed folders, excepted those that are created by defaults are removed from the subscription file when you update. I've a fix for that and I'll include it in master ASAP.

Thank for using i-MSCP.

I wrote a patched version of the imscp backup script. I modified the script to keep the backups for seven days.

The original file is located at: /var/www/imscp/engine/backup/imscp-backup-all
Make a backup of the file, before you patch it.

Hello ;

The problem is that we have some customers with bunch of data. Imagine an user with a total of 5 Go to backup. So 5 * 7 = 35 Go... Now let imagine many users with such amount of data to backup...

The whole script must be rewritten but before, we must take some decisions on how to re-implement backup feature. From my side, I always thought that any backup task should be left to the administrator care. Any solution implemented directly in i-MSCP will never correspond to all administrators needs.

Thank you for using i-MSCP.

Hello ;

i-MSCP has nothing to do with your problem. Seem like you are using a firewall.

Quote from Ninos

Is the script for the folderproblem now included in master? Because then I will also migrate to dovecot

No yet I'll warn you here when it's ok. I was really busy these last days. I'll commit all that tomorrow.

Thank for using i-MSCP.

Hello ;

First, migrate to i-MSCP and after do the following:

1. If you migrate to i-MSCP last released version (1.1.0-rc1.4):

--> d shortcut for the --debug option
--> r shortcut for the --reconfigure option

2. If you migrate to last Git Master (recommend)

--> d shortcut for the --debug option
--> r shortcut for the --reconfigure option with 'po' as argument to be asked only about imap/pop servers.

Thank you for using i-MSCP

Quote from joximu

(and)/or add ipv6 entries to spf...???

/Joxi

ipv6 are already added when needed. It's not the case here.

Edit:

After further investigation, I think we must improve postfix configuration.

For now, we tell postfix to listen on every available interfaces (ipv4 and ipv6). This is specified in the main.cf by the following parameters:

and in the SPF record of each domain we add both, the base server IP and the IP assigned to the customer by the reseller.

With the current way to do, we can end with many problems:

- If we have a stack of 10 IPs configured on the server, Postfix will use one of them as IP source for the outgoing mail. Well, as long the IP is one of these in the SPF record, We will not have any problem but in case the IP is not specified if the SPF record, we will end with a SPF validation error.

- It's not really good to let postfix choose the IP for outgoing mail randomly. If you have a customer with a particular IP that become blacklisted due to spam actions or anything else, nothing ensures you that the blacklisted IP will be the one assigned to this user.

I've already some ideas to how solve that problems (As Plesk do):

Another way:

Hello ;

It seem that postfix has used an ip6 address to sent the mail to gmail. Can you please show me the header of the mail you have sent to gmail?

Hello ;

It's not a bug from i-MSCP. it's can be a problem related to the dictionaries-common package. Or, you have not set your locale properly on your system.

Can you please give us more info about your distribution and its codename ?

Also, what is the output of the following command please:

PM me if you want any help via teamviewer.
