dovecot - Apr 2012 - default mail quota when using per user quota

Hello,

using dovecot 2.1 and per user mail quota via ldap is there a way to have a
default quota which gets used, if the
"quota" field in ldap is not set?

I tried with:

plugin {
  quota = maildir:User quota
  quota_rule = *:storage=3G
}

userdb {
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
  driver = ldap
}

and in dovecot-ldap.conf:
user_attrs = dcMailQuota=quota_rule=*:storage=%$


but with this configuration the mail quota /allways/ gets loaded from ldap
resulting in users without dcMailQuota
attribute having
no quota at all.


Greetings

I do not see any relevant differences to my setup.
Do you /really/ have a default quota of 4G if roomNumber is empty or rather have
unlimited quota then?

Yes, default quota is 4G for all mailboxes; if roomNumber is defined, 
then that value is used instead. In practice we are using non-default 
values for very few maiboxes.

We have a relatively small number of users/mailboxes (<300), so we have 
the luxury of enjoying relatively large mailboxes (with some 
"overbooking" - because most users rarely use more than 1G).

By "not set" you mean it doesn't exist at all, or it exists but is
empty?

If dcMailQuota isn't returned, then the global quota_rule is used. If it is
returned as empty, I guess it gets treated as unlimited quota. There's
currently no easy way avoid this (a difficult way could be e.g. post-login
scripting, but that works only for imap/pop3).
