Hello,

I want specific quotas for certain users and I looking for doing that with dictionary quota backend and Flat file.

Because I am using "active directory" with PAM for authenticate, I can't get per-user quota limits with set/override them by returning "quota_rule" extra field from userdb.

I started reading http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict, saw some good stuff...

The problem is that I don't understand how to set the limit in the users files.

If I open one created file I only see the current number of messages and the actual size. Not the quota limits...

vi /home/vmail/john.doe/Maildir/dovecot-quota : priv/quota/messages 13 priv/quota/storage 600201

Here is /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf file details : plugin { # I think I have to set the default limits here quota_rule = *:storage=10G:messages=10000 } ... plugin { quota = dict:user::file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota # same result with : # quota = dict:User::file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-quota }

my server : CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 dovecot : dovecot-2.2.10-5.el7.x86_64

Thanks for helping. Sam

Hi!

You can use passwd-file userdb for setting additional attributes.
