[Dovecot] Dovecot shared quota with Maildir

[Jorgen Lundman]

Hello list,

We are in the process of exploring the idea of moving from UFS with 
fs-quota to using softquotas in Dovecot (probably Maildir type, stored 
in LDAP, all ontop of NFS).

I have it setup, and it works rather well so far.

But there is one situation we can currently support, which I can not see 
a solution for with soft-quotas.

Generally customers get 1 email, with 1 quota.

But it is also possible for customers to get 1 quota, but create 
multiple mail accounts, all sharing the same quota. This is done by 
using the same UID for each account when using fs-quota.

(It is not that each account gets a fraction of the quota, but that all 
accounts add up to the one quota).

Is this still possible to do with soft-quotas. To share one set. Dovecot 
would have to go count files in multiple mail-directories so I would 
guess no.

Lund
