not exactly..

Usernames are :  azt000, azt001, azt002, etc.....
All of them have their mailbox in  /var/spool2/mail/azt000, /var/spool2/mail/azt001  )

Everybody will get 30Gb by default
Except the user azt000, who will have 160Gb

So, I understand, that the general rule is this

plugin {
 quota = maildir:User quota
 quota_rule = *:storage=30GB
 quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100MB
 quota_rule3 = Spam:storage=+20%%

}


Now, I suppose , to specify the user azt000 and only this one, to get a quota of 160Gb, I should write something like:  quota_rule=azt000:storage=+160Gb  correct ?

but where !

1) If I had this sentence into the plugin ( as it was before ) , it's not considered. Every body stays with the general 30Gb allocated in my example
2) My understanding is, according to the link you sent to me, I have to write this specific condition  : quota_rule=azt000:storage=+160Gb
Outside the plugin.. I've made different tests and all of them are not working.. The Dovecot doesn't start

I also tried this

userdb {
   driver = passwd
  args = /etc/dovecot/quota-overrides
  quota_rule=azt000:storage=+160Gb
   result_success=continue-ok
 }

I would like to keep 30gb for any user AZTxxx, But for some specific users ( like AZT000), I wish to adapt the quota limit

sorry to bother with that. I hope not to be too much pain in the neck..:-)
Thanks !!

No. The syntax is not correct. 

https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/quota/#quota-rules

this says that the rule is:

quota_rule = <mailbox name>:<limit configuration>

so unless you want 160GB quota for mailbox folder `azt000` (not username), you want to use * here.

OK, but is the syntax correct ?
 
 Should it be :azt000:quota_rule4=+160GB ?
Is that correct ?
 
Because I've made the test.. It didn't "shoot at me" while restarting the service, it apparently accept the syntax, but the result is still wrong.. 
 It is still considering a limit of 30gb and not 160Gb
 ( the line : quota_rule = *:storage=30GB ) 
 
 To sum up , I have 
 

plugin {
 quota = maildir:User quota
 quota_rule = *:storage=30GB
 quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100MB
 quota_rule3 = Spam:storage=+20%%
 azt000:quota_rule4=+160GB
 
 
 quota_status_success = DUNNO
 quota_status_nouser = DUNNO
 quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full"
 quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u
 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u
 quota_warning3 = storage=100%% quota-warning below %u
 quota_grace = 10%%
 
 # Quota plugin can also limit the maximum accepted mail size.
 quota_max_mail_size = 100M
 }

and 
 

userdb {
 driver = passwd
 args = /etc/dovecot/quota-overrides
 result_success=continue-ok
 }

but 
 

[root@mbox1 conf.d]# service dovecot restart
 Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart dovecot.service
 [root@mbox1 conf.d]# doveadm quota get -u azt000
 Quota name Type Value Limit %
 User quota STORAGE 22268406 31457280 70
 User quota MESSAGE 29853 - 0
 [root@mbox1 conf.d]#

 
 With 70% ; it's considering the 30Gb and not the 160Gb ( the AZT000 folder size is about 21Gb )

The rules must be consecutive,

if your global config has

quota_rule1
quota_rule2

then the userdb must return

quota_rule3. Or it will overwrite an existing rule.

Hi,
 
 OK, I wrote this :

 username::::::::::quota_ruleX=... where X is the next rule number.

 What should I write ?...... for instance :  ? something like that ??
 
 
 
 
 Le 06/10/2021 à 10:13, Aki Tuomi a écrit :

That `*` there is actually mailbox mask. You have to return an additional quota_ruleN from your userdb for that user.

You can do e.g.

userdb {
   ..
   result_success=continue-ok}
}

userdb {
   driver = passwd
   args = /etc/dovecot/quota-overrides
}

and put in there 

username::::::::::quota_ruleX=... where X is the next rule number.

the count of : might be wrong.

Hi Again,
 
 Juste another one...
 
 The quota I've decided is 30Gb for everybody
 I would like to add an exception for the user AZT000 so here is my test :
 
 I put 60 GB for AZT000, but apparently, this is not seen :-( No error message
 Is there a general syntax for a specific user ?
 
 NB: I tried :
 quota_rule = azt000:storage=+60GB orquota_rule1 = azt000:storage=+60GB same results
 
 

plugin {
 quota = maildir:User quota
 quota_rule = *:storage=30GB
 quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100MB
 quota_rule3 = Spam:storage=+20%%
 # quota_rule = *:storage=70GB

Great !! works fine.. 
 
 I had in fact, twice the same déclaration of quotat and storage on the same file..... one of them was with an upper case "S" for Storage..

 Thanks again

 normally, the size of the user1 email folder is about 21 Gb
 So..just modified the line :quota_rule = *:storage=100G
 But nothing has changed...

You are missing quota driver settings, the recommended settings are

plugin {
 quota = count
 quota_vsizes = yes
}

 Hi Aki,
 Thanks for your reply..
 
 I just tryed to ad it.. but this can't connect anymore .
 Here is my exact declaration "90-quota.conf"
 
 ( based on : https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/quota/ )

plugin {
 quota = count
 quota_vsizes = yes
 #quota = maildir:User quota
 quota_rule = *:storage=100GB
 # quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100MB
 # quota_rule3 = Spam:storage=+20%%
 # 20% of 100GB = 20GB
 quota_status_success = DUNNO
 quota_status_nouser = DUNNO
 quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full"
 quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u
 quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u
 quota_warning3 = -storage=100%% quota-warning below %u
 
 # LDA/LMTP allows saving the last mail to bring user from under quota to
 # over quota, if the quota doesn't grow too high. Default is to allow as
 # long as quota will stay under 10% above the limit. Also allowed e.g. 10M.
 quota_grace = 10%%
 
 # Quota plugin can also limit the maximum accepted mail size.
 quota_max_mail_size = 100M
 }

 
 The error message I have now is :

 Then you can see that I've removed the 2 lines 
 # quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100MB
 # quota_rule3 = Spam:storage=+20%%
 
 but without any success
 
 Effectively.. what is the Word "Storage" for Dovecot ?? no idea ... I just wrote what I saw :-)
 
 For info : all the mailbox are placed on a NFS storage.. Don't know if this help to locate the problem..
 Thanks and regards,
 
 
 

Did you try changing Storage => storage in your rule? It seems to be coming either from userdb or your config.

Try `doveadm user azt000` to if your userdb is providing these rules.
