I have some users with particular quotas. With LDAP lookups, there is no problem, in those cases I simply put their particular quota values in their entries and pass it to dovecot via user_attrs.
I wonder how to do the same for local users, I mean, to have the ability of specifying particular quotas for some local users.
passwd can't contain any extra fields, so this isn't possible with it. You could instead use for example a checkpassword script that takes the quota from some configuration file (http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/CheckPassword). Or you could create a script that generates a passwd-file using /etc/passwd and a separate quota config file and run it when something changes.
Another doubt is how to express to Dovecot that a user have no quota at all, could I use 0?
Yes.
