Hi,

Am seeing an odd problem on an old FreeBSD 4.11 box that I'm trying to get courier off, and dovecot on. At the same time, I'm trying to put some fairly simple quota support on, but getting very odd results.

I think it might be better described with the log below, but, the gist of it is this:

I have set a 1GB quota, and I was getting intermittent reports on the quota usage - sometimes at the correct usage (300MB or so), and then at some crazy amount over the quota usage. I can get it to be consistently incorrect though, as displayed with the below log.

The maildirsize is correct, and matches closely to 'du' output, it's simply coming through incorrect on IMAP. It also only seems to happen if the maildirsize is not created before the first 'getquota[root]' command occurs.

I think it's something to do with dovecot + FreeBSD (at least, this version)! I've done a quick test on a Debian box, and I don't have the same problem.

Anyone else have any ideas what could be going wrong on this FreeBSD box? Is it worth me giving the dovecot -n output at this stage? It happens on different mailboxes too, this is just a sample.

Thanks!

(on server, do 'rm maildirsize' again, while still connected, the first 'getquotaroot' is incorrect, as it seems dovecot regenerates the maildirsize file on login, hence the 'rm')
