Hi All,
I keep going round in circles with this. I have quotas up and running but would like to add a couple of per user exceptions but can't figure out how to do it!
I am using Open Xchange community edition on top of dovecot and tha tis showing the 200MB limit, if I change it in the dovecot.conf the change is reflected in open xchange, but can't figure out how to change for 1 user.
I believe I need to add to a passwd file, but I have added to that and nothing has changed.
user:{plain}pass:1000:1000::/home/user::userdb_mail=mbox:~/mail userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=100M user2:{plain}pass2:1001:1001::/home/user2::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=200M
Example given on http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields
Note that the extra fields are prefixed with userdb_ when placed in a passwd file.
Also, watch your quota_rule numbering. You have 2 rules with the same number (quota_rule2 for Trash and SPAM). In the passwd file, you are replacing the rule specified by number (no number technically being the first).
