[Dovecot] Adding ", S=size" to new message files when using "dirsize"
When APPENDing new message files to an IMAP Maildir, Dovecot 1.0 rc27
can be configured to add ",S=size" to the filename. That allows it
to be calculated with the "dirsize" quota plugin (and MTA's such as
Exim).
However, Dovecot only seems to do that when the "maildir" quota
plugin is specified (from "quota-maildir.c"):
/* For newly generated filenames add ,S=size. */
storage->save_size_in_filename = TRUE;Shouldn't "save_size_in_filename" be included in "quota-dirsize.c",
since "dirsize" is the one that actually needs "S="?
Maybe I'm missing something? Here're some relevant parts of our test
config:
-- mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%u/Maildir:INDEX=MEMORY maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename = yes
protocol imap { mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/rawlog /usr/local/ libexec/dovecot/imap mail_plugins = quota imap_quota imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail outlook-idle }
plugin { quota = dirsize:storage=10240 }
-- Thanks!

Yep.

Dirsize was never meant to be used with maildir. Why do you want to
use it instead of maildir++ quota?

We'd like to use maildir++ in the future, but haven't tested it yet
with our MTA (which uses "dirsize"-like summing). We realize
"dirsize is a really bad idea with maildirs" so don't prefer it, but
it's been working OK in the meantime. If it could just enable
tagging appended files too, it might at least be an option for maildir?

I just fear that if I do that, some people would actually use maildir +dirsize combination without realizing how horribly slow it is..
