[Dovecot] Quota plugin rewrite
Backported from CVS HEAD to branch_1_0. You can get it as a patch from http://dovecot.org/patches/1.0/quota-rewrite.diff
New features include support for multiple quota roots, so you could have eg. per-user quota and a larger domain quota (although no backend actually supports this yet..).
The more important feature is that you can configure specific mailboxes to have a bit more space available for them, such as Trash or Spam. The configuration has also changed. Normally you'd use something like this:
quota = maildir # 1GB quota in general quota_rule = *:storage=1048576 # Trash mailbox gets 100MB more (so max. 1,1GB) quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=102400 # Spam mailbox gets also +100MB (still maxes at 1,1GB, not 1,2GB) quota_rule3 = Spam:storage=102400
You can place all the above into plugin { .. } section in dovecot.conf. In userdb if users have different quotas you'd then need to override only quota_rule (not quota, quota_rule2 and quota_rule3).
I tested quickly that this seemed to work as described above. Please test and report. :)

do i understand correctly that _this_ (in dovecot.conf) is the way, now, to specify per-user quota, _rather_ than in, e.g., userdb static { spec?

i've tried a number of various formats suggested @ wiki & @ list, and have been, to date, unable to override the setting from the global conf file. no errors fire, simply no change is accepted.
thanks,
richard

Umm.. With static userdb all the users have the exact same settings. Where could it even get the per-user quota then? Sounds like you'd want to user passwd-file as the userdb, or maybe checkpassword as passdb +userdb, or anything but static userdb..

this approach is what has been repeatedly suggested to me, given my use ONLY of virtual users (hence, the static userdb)
also,
@ http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota "The above example shows how to set the same quota globally for everyone. You can override this for one or all users by returning a quota field from the user database. See UserDatabase for more information about how to set them for the user database you are using. "
and, @ http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase "Currently supported user databases are: ..."
implies, to my read, that _all_ userdb types are 'supported' for quota overrides.
atm, in my 'dovecot.conf':
... protocol lda { ... mail_plugins = quota cmusieve mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/dovecot-plugins/lda plugin { quota = maildir:storage=10240 # 10 MB quota limit } } ... auth default { ... passdb passwd-file { args = /var/Mail/USERS/imap_user_file } userdb static { args = static uid=301 gid=301 home=/var/Mail/Domains/%d/Accounts/%n nice=10 } }
and, in '/var/Mail/USERS/imap_user_file':
testuser1@mydomain.com:{PLAIN}testpass1::::::quota=maildir:storage=4096
testuser2@mydomain.com:{PLAIN}testpass2::::::quota=maildir:storage=2048are you, instead, instructing that i need to replace:
userdb static { args = static uid=301 gid=301 home=/var/Mail/Domains/%d/Accounts/%n nice=10 }
with:
userdb passwd-file { args = /var/Mail/USERS/imap_user_file }
?
and redundantly state the identical uid/gid/home for each entry in the userdb passwd-file, in order to get per-user quota overrides?
thanks,
richard

Sure, you can override the quota in also static userdb, as long as you can figure out a way to do that with the possible %variables. For example you could set quota=%p which would override the quota and set it to same as the current process ID. Not very useful though ;)
passdb passwd-file { args = /var/Mail/USERS/imap_user_file } userdb static { args = static uid=301 gid=301 home=/var/Mail/Domains/%d/Accounts/%n nice=10 } }
and, in '/var/Mail/USERS/imap_user_file':
testuser1@mydomain.com:{PLAIN}testpass1::::::quota=maildir:storage=4096 testuser2@mydomain.com:{PLAIN}testpass2::::::quota=maildir:storage=2048
Ah, since you're using passwd-file as the passdb, it should be possible to do it this way. Just change quota to userdb_quota.

hi timo,
and, in '/var/Mail/USERS/imap_user_file':
testuser1@mydomain.com:{PLAIN}testpass1::::::quota=maildir:storage= 4096 testuser2@mydomain.com:{PLAIN}testpass2::::::quota=maildir:storage= 2048
Ah, since you're using passwd-file as the passdb, it should be possible to do it this way. Just change quota to userdb_quota.
per suggestion, i've changed to:
testuser1@mydomain.com:{PLAIN}testpass1::::::userdb_quota=maildir:storag e=4096 testuser2@mydomain.com:{PLAIN}testpass2::::::userdb_quota=maildir:storag e=2048
and restarted.
alas, the quota overrides are STILL ignored ... i'm still getting quota, e.g. of INBOX, as that set in the global dovecot.conf file.
thx,
richard
