Hi List,

This is my first post to this list so please be gentle :-). First of all, kudos to the developers of dovecot!

Im trying to implement quota, and I followed the instructions in the wiki. My problem is the quota specified per user is not being honored, only the global quota setting. I do have an "quota = maildir:storage=204800" in the plugin area and enabled quota in the mail_plugins for both imap and pop3.

This is my user attribute in /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf: user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid,mailQuota=quota wherein the "mailQuota" attribute has an entry of "mailQuota: maildir:storage=30720".

So i was expecting of a 300MB quota for that user, but dovecot is using the global quota of 200MB instead of 300MB.

My dovecot version is 1.0.0

My dovecot.conf:

# /etc/dovecot.conf log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log protocols: imap pop3 login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login login_greeting_capability(default): yes login_greeting_capability(imap): yes login_greeting_capability(pop3): no mail_location: /var/mail/vhost/%u mail_debug: yes maildir_copy_with_hardlinks: yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename: yes mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota trash mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota trash mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: verbose: yes debug: yes debug_passwords: yes passdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf userdb: driver: passwd userdb: driver: ldap args: /etc/dovecot- ldap.conf userdb: driver: prefetch plugin: quota: maildir:storage=204800 trash: /etc/dovecot-trash.conf
