[Dovecot] dovecot 1.0 + postfix quota warning
Hello,
I need to know how to make a quota warning message from Dovecot or Postfix. I'm using Dovecot 1.0.rc15 and Postfix 2.3.3. I didn't installed the quota-warning patch cause i read that it doesn't work with dovecot filesystem quotas (as i'm using). What else can i use for this? I wanna warn users when they reach ..let's say 90% of their quota by sending an e-mail to their address. I'm using maildir format.
Thanks, Radu

This is very old and buggy, please upgrade... current release is 1.0.10, but 1.1 is getting close (its at rc1 now)...
You didn't say what distro, but if you are using a redhat derivitive (seems like a lot of people with rc15 are), atrpms.net has rpms...

It is old yes, but debian etch has this version.

Ever heard of backports?
http://packages.debian.org/etch-backports/dovecot-common
I wouldn't use any distibution that forced me to use old buggy software.

What are the bugs in version 1.0-rc15-2? I run it since etch has been released and it work without problems for me.

I have no idea...

If you are content to run old, pre-release software that is known to be buggy, by all means, do so. Just because you haven't encountered a problem yet, doesn't mean you won't in the future.
Timo is more than gracious with his support, but the longer you use this old version, the less inclined he will most likely be to respond to questions about it - although I have seen him even answer questions about 0.99.x versions (though he does urge them to upgrade), which is amazing, actually, considering how old it is.

I think the only practical solution is to use post-login scripting: http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting
Check the disk usage using df and if the usage is >=90% send the mail.
This works of course only when user is logging in.
I guess it would be nice for quota warnings to work with filesystem
quota as well. I'll add to my TODO.
