We use LDAP to store our Maildir++ quota information for our Maildir mailboxes. I notice in the documentation that only SQL and flat files are supported by the dictionary quota if I want to use quota with mdbox? Are there any plans to allow LDAP to be used as the store?
Do you really want to use LDAP to store the constant changing and often rewritten values for the actual used space of the mailbox?
Believe me, this _will_ cause awful performance.
Reading the maximum quota values from LDAP on the other hand is quite common, just storing the runtime information about the message count and the current size is a very very bad idea.
