What is the path field for in the quota table in mysql? Is the username not enough information for storing and updating quotas?

It supports having both "max. number of messages" as well as "max.
number of bytes" quotas.

That makes sense. Thanks.

So, a little more on quotas. If I'm understanding a previous posting correctly, to have per-user quotas, I have to return a quota field from the database in the format specified on http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict. If I omit "messages=...", then I assume that it will only apply the storage size quota.

Is there a way to tell the LDA to ignore the quota but update the quota usage when delivering? And also to apply quotas to pop/imap. My goal is to have postfix reject mail for users who are over quota, but always deliver once the mail gets to the storage server. At worst, I can add a certain amount to the quota in the query.
