[Dovecot] Dovecot LDA and quota

[Jonas Christian]

Hi List,

I recently upgraded to Dovecot 1.1.3 on FreeBSD and got into trouble 
over the quotas. We implemented per-user quotas using

   plugin {
     quota = maildir
   }

and

   protocol lda {
     mail_plugins = quota
   }

We use a passwd-file userdb with extra fields, which used to be

   quota=maildir:storage:<bytes>

which I changed to

   quota_rule=*:bytes:<bytes>

What happens now is that deliver (the Dovecot LDA) only picks up the 
quotas set in the maildirsize file in the user's homedir. It doesn't 
pick up the quota set in the userdb.

Also, when I delete the maildirsize file, I doesn't get recreated by the 
LDA and quotas don't get checked at all.

Any ideas? I'd be very grateful for any pointers.

Cheers,

Jonas
