[Dovecot] Dovecot Quota Configuration

[Pattabi Prasanna]

Hi,
  I edited the /etc/passwd file for one of user, but the quota is not taking
effect for this user, the user is able to receive mails more than the quota
allocated.


testuser:x:515:516::/home/testuser:/bin/bash:userdb_quota_rule=*.bytes=3M

 My output of dovecot -n

base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/
log_path: /var/log/dovecot
ssl: no
disable_plaintext_auth: no
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot//login
login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
mail_privileged_group: mail
mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
lda:
  postmaster_address: postmaster at xxxx.in
auth default:
  mechanisms: plain login
  passdb:
    driver: pam
  userdb:
    driver: passwd
plugin:
  quota: maildir:User quota
  quota_rule: *:storage=2048
  quota_rule2: Trash:storage=1024


Are my editing in /etc/passwd and dovecot.conf  is correct, guide me

Thanks in advance


Regards,
P. Prasanna
