Hey everyone,
Currently where I work we use qmail. Every time a message is delivered,
qmail seems to walk through the user's entire maildir in order to
calculate quota usage. Delivering messages simultaneously to just a few
users who are allowed large maildirs (1-2GB) will bring our servers to
their knees. Which brings me to dovecot. I use dovecot whereever I can,
but haven't yet needed to set up quotas. I would like to migrate my
servers at work to use dovecot, but have a few questions regarding
quotas. Could someone explain how dovecot calculates quota usage on mail
delivery? Also, is there anyone here on the list that uses quoatas on
large maildirs (>=2GB)? How well has it worked for you?
thanks,
Scott
