Dear List, I cannot overwrite the default quota. In dovecot.conf I have

plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict quota_rule = *:storage=380M:messages=10000 quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=100M }

To overwrite, I put in dovecot-sql.conf

user_query = SELECT CONCAT('/vmail/', maildir) AS home,
CONCAT('maildir:/vmail/', maildir) as mail,
CONCAT('*:bytes=', quota) AS quota_rule
FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'

Debugging dovecot:

imap-login: Login: user=x@y.z, method=PLAIN, rip=a.b.c.d, lip=e.f.g.h IMAP(x@y.z): Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap IMAP(x@y.z): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so IMAP(x@y.z): Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so IMAP(x@y.z): Effective uid=101, gid=6, home=/vmail/x.z/x/ IMAP(x@y.z): Quota root: name=user backend=dict args=:proxy::quotadict IMAP(x@y.z): dict quota: user=x@y.z, uri=proxy::quotadict, noenforcing=0 IMAP(x@y.z): Quota rule: root=user mailbox=* bytes=398458880 messages=10000 IMAP(x@y.z): Quota rule: root=user mailbox=Trash bytes=104857600 messages=0 IMAP(x@y.z): Namespace: type=private, prefix=INBOX., sep=., inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes , subscriptions=yes

mysql> select CONCAT('*:bytes=', quota) AS quota_rule FROM mailbox where username="x@y.z" and active=1; +-------------------+ | quota_rule | +-------------------+ | *:bytes=800000000 | +-------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

What is my mistake? I'm using dovecot 1.1.11

Best regards, Thomas.
