[Dovecot] Per-user quota (with local users)
I'm migrating to LDAP mi local users, there is the auth section of my dovecot.conf
-- auth default { mechanisms = plain
socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = dovecot group = nusers } }
passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf }
passdb pam { }
userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf }
userdb prefetch { }
userdb passwd { }
user = root }
The idea is to try to find the user in the directory and if it isn't found then fallback to a local user lookup.
My quota configuration is
plugin { quota = maildir:storage=10240:ignore=Trash }
I have some users with particular quotas. With LDAP lookups, there is no problem, in those cases I simply put their particular quota values in their entries and pass it to dovecot via user_attrs.
I wonder how to do the same for local users, I mean, to have the ability of specifying particular quotas for some local users.
Another doubt is how to express to Dovecot that a user have no quota at all, could I use 0?

passwd can't contain any extra fields, so this isn't possible with it. You could instead use for example a checkpassword script that takes the quota from some configuration file (http://wiki.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/CheckPassword). Or you could create a script that generates a passwd-file using /etc/passwd and a separate quota config file and run it when something changes.

Yes.
