[Dovecot] force to recalculate quotadict
Hello,
i use working quotasystem with sql-quotadict. The values stored in db are used to realize also a quotasystem in postfix to reject mails if they are bigger then remaining quota. if dataset in quotadict is missing for some reasons, postfix can't calculate quota and mail gets delivered even if user is already over quota. I am looking for a way to force dovecot/lda to recalculate users bytes/messages with command xy and not to wait for incomming mail.
Currently i use: deliver -d $user -n -m folderwithunspeakablenamesonobodyusesthis and send a small message which gets lost but starts the calculation. This works but seems not to be the finest way. Is there a better way or my current procedure acceptable?
Thanks, Andre

Hmm, I would expect a quota recalculation, too, if there is no current quota at all.
In the parents of the mail, there is the outline:
- remove the quota in the DB,
- make same changes.
With "| dovecot --exec-mail imap" you can do changes or request the current quota easily.
However, you probably need to set some environment variables or su to the user for "dovecot" running as the correct system user and mail user.
