Tried your suggestion Nikita, no joy unfortunately.  It still looks
like the value never gets returned from the LDAP server to Dovecot.
It definitely has something in the field (equivalent of 10GB, but in
bytes as suggested) and I changed the user_attrs also, but still get
the same "no fields returned by the server" error message.

Modifying the user_attrs to lookup from a different field
(instanceType) definitely works.

What exact version are you using - perhaps it's a problem with our
copy of 2.0.9.

Thanks,

Andrew
