[Dovecot] Per-user quota (with local users)

18 Oct 2007


      I'm migrating to LDAP mi local users, there is the auth section of my
dovecot.conf
--
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
socket listen {
master {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode = 0660
user = dovecot
group = nusers
}
}
passdb ldap {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
passdb pam {
}
userdb ldap {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
}
userdb prefetch {
}
userdb passwd {
}
user = root
}
The idea is to try to find the user in the directory and if it isn't
found then fallback to a local user lookup.
My quota configuration is
plugin {
quota = maildir:storage=10240:ignore=Trash
}
I have some users with particular quotas. With LDAP lookups, there is no
problem, in those cases I simply put their particular quota values in
their entries and pass it to dovecot via user_attrs.
I wonder how to do the same for local users, I mean, to have the ability
of specifying particular quotas for some local users.
Another doubt is how to express to Dovecot that a user have no quota at
all, could I use 0?
