Hello all
please apologize that I repost this problem again. I tried to get some help several times on the list but did not find/get a solution.
I am still struggling to setup different quotas for namespaces.
In addition to the default "INBOX" namespace I have created a namespace called "MailArchive" which should have its own quota value of 5G per user.
At first I configured quota2 like this:
quota2 = maildir:MailArchive quota:ns=MailArchive/ quota2_rule = *:storage=5G
and this seemd to work quite well. Users, accessing the MailArchive namespace can see the 5G limit in their mail client, unfortunately in the mail.err log file, errors like these repeatedly appear:
Jul 29 11:40:24 mailserver dovecot: imap(testuser): Error: quota: Unknown namespace: MailArchive/ Jul 29 11:41:43 dovecot: last message repeated 47 times
In the WIKI I have read, that in order to have quota for different namespaces, one would have to use different quota backends so I changed the quota config for the MailArchive namespace to SQL.
namespace inbox { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe driver = special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { auto = subscribe driver = special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe driver = special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { auto = no driver = special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe driver = special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private }
namespace { disabled = no hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = yes location = maildir:/var/vmail/archive/%Ln/Maildir mailbox "Archived Mails" { auto = subscribe driver = } prefix = MailArchive/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private }
plugin { quota = maildir:User quota:ns= quota2 = dict:Archive Quota:%u.mailarchive:ns=MailArchive/:proxy::sqlquota quota2_rule = *:storage=5G quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+200M }
dict { sqlquota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext }
Unfortunately this did not change anything. Quota is working like expected but I still get the same errors in mail.err.
I am currently using dovecot version 2.2.4.
Thank you for your kind help
best regards
Andreas
