[Dovecot] New to list, got a quota question

[Vlad Sedov]

Hello folks -

I'm running dovecot on top of qmail/vpopmail/mysql, serving up about 
2500 mailboxes. Everything is running very smooth and fast.... I 
recently upgraded dovecot to 1.1, so I'm trying to implement some extra 
features like IMAP quotas.
I'm using the sql passdb, with the following config:

driver = mysql
connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock user=username password=password 
dbname=vpopmail
default_pass_scheme = PLAIN
password_query = SELECT CONCAT(pw_name, '@', pw_domain) AS user, 
pw_clear_passwd AS password FROM vpopmail WHERE pw_name = '%n' AND 
pw_domain = '%d'
user_query = SELECT pw_dir as home, 508 AS uid, 503 AS gid FROM vpopmail 
WHERE pw_name = '%n' AND pw_domain = '%d'


My vpopmail installation keeps the quota information in the mysql 
database (pw_shell field) instead of maildirsize. The quota is in 
maildir format, e.g. 400M or 50331648S. Unlimited quota is specified as 
NOQUOTA.
The question is... Is it possible to make dovecot understand this format 
and get it directly from SQL (via user_query, for example) or would it 
be easier to reconfigure the vpopmail installation somehow to use 
maildirsize?


Thanks!
