Topic: Quota calculation error stops incoming mail from being recieved Ubuntu

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 1.6.1 MARIADB edition
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? It had a GUI, I believe it was the "easy" set up described
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MariaDB
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? Unsure, I believe it's... dovecot??
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.

ERROR THAT IS OCCURING:

NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-ex-ex1.google.com[209.85.160.49]: 450 4.7.1 <mail@example.com>: Recipient address rejected: Internal quota calculation error; from=<example@gmail.com> to=<mail@example.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-ex1-fw2.google.com>

Re: Quota calculation error stops incoming mail from being recieved Ubuntu

i would suggest to empty the quota database and then recalculate it manually:

doveadm quota recalc -A

Re: Quota calculation error stops incoming mail from being recieved Ubuntu

if you can login the mariadb vmail db.

try 
select a.*,b.quota from used_quota a,mailbox b where a.username=b.username  order by bytes desc;

cheers

There is a cronjob every night to backup the databases.

Re: Quota calculation error stops incoming mail from being recieved Ubuntu

iredmail creates backups each day, so there should be a backup from today in

/var/vmail/backup/mysql/2022/10/05/

To further expand upon this, it would seem I cannot locate where roundcube stores its password that it uses to try and access the DB, and seeing as though I could not remember the password for it but still had to give it permissions for the DB... it has become an issue, please do let me know where the password is stored so I can correct this,

Thanks in advance

Re: Quota calculation error stops incoming mail from being recieved Ubuntu

i don't see the problem, you only dropped the database, not the permissions for it nor the user itself, so if you just use the backup and restore the roundcube database, everyting should be okay

Where is said backup, I am sorry for the silly-seeming questions, it has been months since I first set it up, file locations have become very hazy regarding roundcube

Re: Quota calculation error stops incoming mail from being recieved Ubuntu

I have tried to restore the .sql file back to mysql with this command:

mysql -u root -p roundcubemail < roundcubemail-2022-10-05-03-30-01.sql


But I recieve this error:

ERROR at line 46: ASCII '\0' appeared in the statement, but this is not allowed unless option --binary-mode is enabled and mysql is run in non-interactive mode. Set --binary-mode to 1 if ASCII '\0' is expected. Query: ''

I will also need to know where the password is stored in the config of roundcubemail

Re: Quota calculation error stops incoming mail from being recieved Ubuntu

i don't know this, but why would you want to change the password?
then you would need to recreate the user and permissions aswell

As in a bid to create a new DB I had ran the command to grant user “roundcubemail” all permissions to the DB “roundcubemail” identified by a certain password that I typed that I can almost guarantee was different to the original one

Re: Quota calculation error stops incoming mail from being recieved Ubuntu

dude, you dropped the database, not the user, the user still exists with all permissions and old password

what are you even doing?

I am aware, it was a weird spur of the moment thing that was unnecessary, and now I am needing to find where the password is to set it back from this silly thing that I did, after that I should be fine, I cleared the vmail DB as suggested

Re: Quota calculation error stops incoming mail from being recieved Ubuntu

i hope you ONLY emptied the table used_quota and nothing else, not dropping or deleting it

you need to rerun the installer for roundcube to get it working then if it is in a such messed up state where i still don't know how you managed this

So yes just from used_quota, I just need to restore my roundcubemail DB and change the password in RC (RoundCube) config, please do provide a link or some instructions on how to at least restore the DB if you can :) I should be able to do the rest myself :)

EDIT: I have now fixed the issue with my database password but I am still receiving this error on my mail site:

`DATABASE ERROR!
Unable to connect to the database!
Please contact your server administrator.`

I do not know if this is because I must now restore my DB, but I am assuming so, I am needing to now ONLY restore the `roundcubemail` database (MariaDB) using, assumably, a .sql file

This command does

1) not empty the database
2) querys the mailbox table

so if that would have been the command to empty, the mailbox table would be emtpy aswell now.

for me it seems you lack of simple basics and have no clue what you are doing at all

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/644 … a-sql-file

just check this lil "guide" maybe you manage to restore it

FTR, the issue I had here was because I SHOULD have run this:

OR

`mysql -u root -p --binary-mode roundcubemail < roundcubemail-2022-10-05-03-30-01.sql`


If already in the directory

Re: Quota calculation error stops incoming mail from being recieved Ubuntu

This issue is still not currently resolved after restoring the DB, it seems even recalculating the quota and whatnot does not solve this issue for me, unless I have done something significantly incorrect, which I doubt given I have followed advice on this thread with my own knowledge and research, the mail server can send mail and the sent mailbox is fine, but it will not/can not receive mail.

And yes I do appreciate the help I have gotten.
