Hi Timo,
ok, in my dovecot setup, I have a setting to ignore messages in the Spam folder (I will put my dovecot -n at the end of the message), and a strange thing appears to be happening.
If I do a quota recalc on an account, It creates the maildirsize file correctly, without the contents of the Spam folder calculated into the total used.
But, it looks like when a new spam email is delivered, before the sieve rules in the lda can move it into the spam folder, it is added to the maildirsize file. Then, once it is moved into the Spam folder, if it is directly expunged from the folder, it isn't subtracted from maildirsize file.
I am using roundcube as a webmail solution, and it recognizes the Spam folder and lets users directly empty the Spam folder instead of moving it to the trash, and then removing it. If I do move the mail from the Spam folder to the Trash folder, and then empty the trash, it then puts the subtraction in the maildirsize folder.
So, either it shouldn't add it in the first place, or even though it is deleted directly from the Spam folder, it should be subtracted from the maildirsize folder, right?
Hmmm...maybe its the structure of the default sieve command that I have that is making it want to add it?
here is the default sieve script that I use in the sieve_after field :
require "fileinto"; # rule:[Spam and Virus Tag] if anyof (header :contains "Subject" "[VIRUS-TAG]", header :contains "Subject" "[SPAM-TAG]") { fileinto "Spam"; stop; }
Essentially, what is happening is that users are getting their quota filled up for messages that were in their Spam folder...
Thanks,
Tim.
and here is my dovecot -n output :
