dovecot - Dec 2010 - Quota ignore subfolders

Hello,

We have dovecot 2.0.8 in our servers with Scientific Linux SL release 5.2
(Boron).
We want to ignore a mailbox and its child mailboxes.

A few weeks ago Timo told me to do this in dovecot.conf, create a new namespace
which will be the quotaless namespace and edit the quota:

namespace {
  inbox = yes
  location   prefix = INBOX.
  separator = .
  type = private
}
namespace {
  location = maildir:%h/Maildir/carpeta1
  prefix = carpeta1.
  separator = .
  type = private
}

plugin {
  quota = maildir:carpeta1:ns=INBOX.
  quota_warning = storage=75%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 75
  quota_warning2 = storage=90%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 90
}

We also have passdb and userdb with ldap, with dovecot-ldap.conf:

pass_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u)(accountActive=TRUE))
pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$

user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$
user_filter =
(&(objectClass=qmailUser)(|(mailAlternateAddress=%u)(mail=%u)(uid=%u))(accountActive=TRUE))


We also tried the easy solution which was to indicate a quota rule in order to
ignore the mailbox but with no success. It still get every mailbox to calculate
the quota.
We set mail_debug=yes to see if there was any error, but everything seemed to be
ok.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much in advanced.

H?ctor Moreno Blanco.

Well, I don't know what you're doing wrong, but it works with me.
Here's
an easy way to reproduce my test. Maybe it'll give you some ideas of
what could be going wrong:

1) Save a slightly modified version of your config:

cat > ~/dovecot.conf <<EOF
mail_plugins = quota
mail_location = /tmp/Maildir

namespace {
  inbox = yes
  location   prefix = INBOX.
  separator = .
  type = private
}
namespace {
  location = maildir:/tmp/Maildir/carpeta1
  prefix = carpeta1.
  separator = .
  type = private
}

plugin {
  quota = maildir:carpeta1:ns=INBOX.
  quota_warning = storage=75%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 75
  quota_warning2 = storage=90%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 90
}
EOF

2) Create test mails to /tmp/Maildir

mkdir -p /tmp/Maildir/cur
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/Maildir/cur/mail-in-quota bs=1024 count=1024
mkdir -p /tmp/Maildir/carpeta1/cur
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/Maildir/carpeta1/cur/mail-without-quota bs=1024
count=2048

3) Recalculate the quota with doveadm and ask for it:

doveadm -c ~/dovecot.conf quota recalc       
doveadm -c ~/dovecot.conf quota get   

The result is as expected, the 1 MB mail shows up while the 2 MB mail
doesn't:

Quota name                         Type    Value Limit %
carpeta1                           STORAGE  1024     - 0
carpeta1                           MESSAGE     1     - 0
