ok, i will answer my question by myself:

from the dovecot wiki: "You can configure quota globally by placing the settings in plugin section in dovecot.conf and you can give per-user limits by having your userdb return the quota setting as an extra field. The userdb quota setting always overrides the global plugin setting."

hi all,

i have a problem with storing the current quota in mysql. the configuration of the dictionary quota mostly looks like the example from the wiki. the dirsize quota limit is read correctly from the user_query, but nothing stored with quotadict in the quota table. i wonder that there is nothing like a "dict" in the logfile. did i configured anything wrong?

(don't wonder about the different database hosts. mx01 is a readonly slave from db01)
