Hi, Im using dovecot with maildir++ quota and I have this problem, maybe some of you already solve this and can helpme. I want to use some flat file to tell exim and dovecot the quota limit for each user, i tried to work with exim and maildirsize file, but exim just ignores the limits there. I need a way (a really simple one, i dont want to create a database or an ldap server just for this) to tell exim and dovecot to lookup some file to get the quota limits. I know how to doit with exim, now i need to know how to tell dovecot to read the quota limits from this file. I know that dovecot can read the quota limit from the userdb, but im using pam and i dont want to change the entire auth schema. Can I configure dovecot to get the quota limit from a file using pam as userdb?

Thanks, Juan.
