Hi, I don't know if it's a bug or my configuration fault, but LDA does not work as i expect. Dovecot auth connects to a pgsql database that mirrors Nis users infos, but it has also quota settings because i'd like to use a per-user quota environment. Mailserver and Postfix authenticates users with Nis (through PAM), while imap and local delivery (with the postfix mailbox_command setting) are left to dovecot mechanism. Imap works perfectly, dovecot retrieves authentication and quota setting from database, but dovecot LDA seems to not query any database (and nothing is logged) , so that quota is not retrived and message is not bounced when user is overquota.

You can see it in the verbose log:

deliver(tognini): 2007-02-08 12:25:02 Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda deliver(tognini): 2007-02-08 12:25:02 Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib10_quota_plugin.so deliver(tognini): 2007-02-08 12:25:02 Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin. so deliver(tognini): 2007-02-08 12:25:02 Info: mbox: data=/home/t/tognini:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/tognini deliver(tognini): 2007-02-08 12:25:02 Info: mbox: root=/home/t/tognini, index=/home/t/tognini, inbox=/var/spool/mail/tognini deliver(tognini): 2007-02-08 12:25:02 Info: cmusieve: Using sieve path: /home/t/tognini/.dovecot.sieve deliver(tognini): 2007-02-08 12:25:02 Info: msgid=20070208112502.7706B3273D6@arturo.cli.di.unipi.it: saved mail to INBOX

If i set quota variable in dovecot.conf, still no query but the global variable is used for all users:

... deliver(tognini): 2007-02-07 12:33:04 Info: dirsize quota limit = 1024kB ...

My Debian server packages are:

dovecot-common/unstable 1.0.rc22-1 postfix/testing 2.3.6-1 postgresql/testing 7.5.22

plugin {

Dovecot-sql.conf:

Postfix main.cf:

... mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver ....

Postgresql table:

     Table "public.user_accounts"

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion, Samuele
