[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA and quota

Hi List,

I recently upgraded to Dovecot 1.1.3 on FreeBSD and got into trouble over the quotas. We implemented per-user quotas using

plugin { quota = maildir }

and

protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota }

We use a passwd-file userdb with extra fields, which used to be

quota=maildir:storage:<bytes>

which I changed to

quota_rule=*:bytes:<bytes>

What happens now is that deliver (the Dovecot LDA) only picks up the quotas set in the maildirsize file in the user's homedir. It doesn't pick up the quota set in the userdb.

Also, when I delete the maildirsize file, I doesn't get recreated by the LDA and quotas don't get checked at all.

Any ideas? I'd be very grateful for any pointers.

Cheers,

Jonas
