To be more accurate, all users in ldap db need to use mail, but some users in /etc/passwd file use mail too.
Does users exist in both passwd and ldap?
For this reason I set up "driver=passwd" in userdb section and in /etc/nsswitch.conf I set up "passwd: files ldap".
If you did this for Dovecot, revert it.
Now I want to use dovecot per user quota to limit ldap users mailbox size. I need quota only for ldap users, no need for users in /etc/passwd file.
Which is the correct configuration to do this?
use two databases for both passdb and userdb. One using pam / passwd, the other one the standard LDAP config.
see: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases
Use LDAP instead of SQL userdb and passdb.
I guess, you will find posts in the sense "virtual and system users".
If there is no user in both databases, the order does not matter (except for speed); otherwise:
each database is tried in order of definition until a successful hit was found.
You can order the passdb's and userdb's differently, e.g. if passwd-passdb is first and the user's password match, and the ldap-userdb is first and you get a hit there, the user authentificates against passwd, but its data is retrieved from LDAP. See comment in page: "look up users from SQL first (even if authentication was done using PAM!)"
I understand that I need to use extra fields to obtain user quota from users db. But you said "the userdb section cannot merge two databases together". So
You cannot merge, but use one-after-another.
I can not use dovecot per user quota with "driver=passwd" in userdb section? I could use only global quota?
P.S.
I use dovecot-lda as delivery agent.
I send again my dovecot configuration:

I have problems in return extra fields from passwd userdb. My users are partially in passwd files and partially in LDAP. Users who use mail are in LDAP db.
If I use "default_fields = quota_rule=*:bytes=100M" in userdb,
if I use "default_fields = quota_rule=*:bytes=%{userdb:quotabytes}" in userdb,
default_fields supplies default values, if the userdb does not return them. Hence, you cannot reference a LDAP result.
the userdb section cannot merge two databases together. You said "Users who use mail are in LDAP db", so you would one userdb with driver ldap.
