[Dovecot] quota infor @ wiki page

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1

hi matthias,

reading the dovecot wiki page:

http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota

that, apparently, you last edited (created?):

Quota (last edited 2006-06-13 15:27:38 by MatthiasAndree)

i note:

" plugin { # 10 MB quota limit quota = maildir:storage=10240 # 1000 messages quota limit quota = maildir:messages=1000 # 10 MB + 1000 messages quota limit quota = maildir:storage=10240:messages=1000 }

The above example shows how to set the same quota globally for 

everyone. You can override this for one or all users by returning a quota field from the user database. See UserDatabase for more information about how to set them for the user database you are using. Here is an example using a SQL-based user database: "

i'm (currently) attempting to assign per-user quotas in a 'userdb static' scenario, where, in my dovecot.conf, i've:

protocol imap { ... plugin { quota = maildir:storage=10240 } ... }

auth default {
	...
	passdb passwd-file {
		args = /var/MailServer/Data/USERS/imap.users
	}
	userdb static {
		args = static uid=300 gid=300 

home=/var/MailServer/Mail/Dovecot/Domains/%d/Accounts/%n nice=10 } ... }

so, per 'your' suggestion @ the wiki page, i nav to:

http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase

then:

http://wiki.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile

where the example for userdb is given as:

Or for passdb and userdb:
user:{plain}pass:1000:1000::/home/user::mail=maildir:~/Maildir 

allow_nets=192.168.0.0/24

which, iiuc, would 'translate' to quota in my scenario as, in the "/var/MailServer/Data/USERS/imap.users" file:

	user:{plain}pass::::::quota=maildir:storage=4096

Unfortunately, when I do make this change, dovecot starts without error, BUT the given user's QUOTA *remains* at the global setting of (in this example) '10240'.

i.e., the per-user override is, seemingly, not recognized.

i'd make an add/change/comment *to* the wiki page, but it's set as an "Immutable Page".

can you, perhaps, comment/clarify? any suggestions?

many thanks!

richard
