hi matthias,
reading the dovecot wiki page:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota
that, apparently, you last edited (created?):
Quota (last edited 2006-06-13 15:27:38 by MatthiasAndree)
i note:
"
plugin {
# 10 MB quota limit
quota = maildir:storage=10240
# 1000 messages quota limit
quota = maildir:messages=1000
# 10 MB + 1000 messages quota limit
quota = maildir:storage=10240:messages=1000
}
The above example shows how to set the same quota globally for
everyone. You can override this for one or all users by returning a
quota field from the user database. See UserDatabase for more
information about how to set them for the user database you are using.
Here is an example using a SQL-based user database:
"
i'm (currently) attempting to assign per-user quotas in a 'userdb
static' scenario, where, in my dovecot.conf, i've:
protocol imap {
...
plugin {
quota = maildir:storage=10240
}
...
}
auth default {
...
passdb passwd-file {
args = /var/MailServer/Data/USERS/imap.users
}
userdb static {
args = static uid=300 gid=300
home=/var/MailServer/Mail/Dovecot/Domains/%d/Accounts/%n nice=10
}
...
}
so, per 'your' suggestion @ the wiki page, i nav to:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase
then:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile
where the example for userdb is given as:
Or for passdb and userdb:
user:{plain}pass:1000:1000::/home/user::mail=maildir:~/Maildir
allow_nets=192.168.0.0/24
which, iiuc, would 'translate' to quota in my scenario as, in the
"/var/MailServer/Data/USERS/imap.users" file:
user:{plain}pass::::::quota=maildir:storage=4096
Unfortunately, when I do make this change, dovecot starts without
error, BUT the given user's QUOTA *remains* at the global setting of
(in this example) '10240'.
i.e., the per-user override is, seemingly, not recognized.
i'd make an add/change/comment *to* the wiki page, but it's set as an
"Immutable Page".
can you, perhaps, comment/clarify? any suggestions?
many thanks!
richard
