Hello List,
I've enabled the quota_mail_size parameter to match what I've set in
Postfix, but it seems to me that this parameter has no effect.
Currently set to quota_mail_size = 104857600B
(with or without the suffix does not matter in my case as both won't
work), but connecting to the LMTP socket does not seem to advertise
SIZE:
# socat /run/dovecot/lmtp readline
220 mail-fra01 Hello there
LHLO test
250-mail-fra01
250-8BITMIME
250-CHUNKING
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-PIPELINING
250-SMTPUTF8
250 STARTTLS
quit
221 2.0.0 Bye
Also looking at IMAP logs on clients, APPENDLIMIT also does not seem to
get advertised there.
Quota itself seems to work fine via userdb, also via the IMAP quota
extension as my clients report the usage.
Thanks,
Marcel
