dovecot - Jul 2010 - quota-warning example script from wiki2

Hi,

in the wiki there's an example script for sending an email to an user
that has exceeded his quota.

Link: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration

The dovecot deliver command line is:

dovecot-lda -d $USER -o "plugin/quota=maildir:User quota:noenforcing"

I wonder about

-o: seems to be "undocumented" because I've found no information
about
this parameter.

If this parameter is needed what if I use dict instead of maildir? Is
the syntax different?

Thanks.

Yeah, I guess it is. It anyway overrides any setting in any Dovecot binary, not
just dovecot-lda.

It takes the same syntax as plugin { quota } normally does. So start with what
you have there and add :noenforcing to correct place (that's a pretty
horrible setting though, I never get it right without trying all the
possibilities).
