Hi all,
I?m a little bit confused about the quota plugin in dovecot and fighting the the
issues the people had years ago. I spent readingg the old archives and the
mailing list for 3 days and not able to get work some features. Single user
quota is fine and simple, the group quota /for example domain based/ makes me
unhappy.
Setup: CentOS7, dovecot comunity repo, dovecot 2.3.5
1) domain quota recalc
domain quota recalc do not work properly. The domain qouta usage is worknig
well, hwhen receiving/deleting mail, generaly if the operations are incremental.
But if I run domain quota recalc, the doveadm is setting the domain quota after
each user calculation, that means the domain quota is set to the last user.
2) multiple quota roots and rules
According the documentation, there could be possible, from the sample
configuration file
# Multiple quota roots are also possible, for example this gives each user
# their own 100MB quota and one shared 1GB quota within the domain
plugin {
quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota
quota2 = dict:Group quota:%d:proxy::quota_domain
quota_rule = *:storage=1024M
quota2_rule = *:storage=2048M
}
But If I run
[TEST] root at mail-store01.test.host.sk: /etc/dovecot # doveadm quota get -u
'*'
Username Quota name Type Value Limit
%
test01 at test.host.sk User quota STORAGE 1 1024

test01 at test.host.sk User quota MESSAGE 1 -

test01 at test.host.sk Group quota STORAGE 7 -

test01 at test.host.sk Group quota MESSAGE 3 -

test03 at test.host.sk User quota STORAGE 7 1024

test03 at test.host.sk User quota MESSAGE 3 -
0
test03 at test.host.sk Group quota STORAGE 7 -
0
test03 at test.host.sk Group quota MESSAGE 3 -

The idea is to have overall domain quota, but for user able to set it?s personal
quota.

I was fighting domain quota for a long time, too. And I was never really successful at it, because group/domain quotas have multiple problems, and domain quota recalc is just one of them :) After a long trial and error I ended up implementing XFS project quotas.

Hi, by XFS do you mean filesystem quotas, yes ? regards Peter> On 14 Mar 2019, at 15:19, Edgaras Luko?evi?ius via dovecot <dovecot at dovecot.org> wrote: > > I was fighting domain quota for a long time, too.
