Hello list,
We are in the process of exploring the idea of moving from UFS with fs-quota to using softquotas in Dovecot (probably Maildir type, stored in LDAP, all ontop of NFS).
I have it setup, and it works rather well so far.
But there is one situation we can currently support, which I can not see a solution for with soft-quotas.
Generally customers get 1 email, with 1 quota.
But it is also possible for customers to get 1 quota, but create multiple mail accounts, all sharing the same quota. This is done by using the same UID for each account when using fs-quota.
(It is not that each account gets a fraction of the quota, but that all accounts add up to the one quota).
Is this still possible to do with soft-quotas. To share one set. Dovecot would have to go count files in multiple mail-directories so I would guess no.
