[Dovecot] quota percents

[Micah Anderson]

I've noticed that http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration is out of
date, it says:

plugin {
  quota = maildir:User quota
  quota_rule = *:storage=1GB
  # 10% of 1GB = 100MB
  quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=10%%
  # 20% of 1GB = 200MB
  quota_rule3 = Spam:storage=20%%
}

but if you use the '10%%' notation, dovecot complains, and *also* incorrectly:

dovecot: imap(test at example.net): Warning: quota root mail quota rule Trash:bytes=10%: obsolete configuration for rule 'bytes=10%' should be changed to 'bytes=+10%'

its incorrect because if you change it to what it suggests ('+10%') it
wont work because that wont be 10% more, rather, it is set to bytes=+10:

dovecot: imap(test at example.net): Debug: Quota rule: root=mail quota mailbox=Trash bytes=+10 messages=0

clearly, that isn't right... so I guess it needs to be changed to
'+10%%', setting that provides:

dovecot: imap(test at example.net): Debug: Quota rule: root=mail quota mailbox=* bytes=2211724 messages=0
dovecot: imap(test at example.net): Debug: Quota rule: root=mail quota mailbox=Trash bytes=+221172 (10%) messages=0

that seems ok, its saying the Trash mailbox is set to have 221172bytes
(215 kilobytes) of quota. So, clearly
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration needs to be updated.

However, it doesn't seem to work in practice, because I have a user that
is at 99% of quota, with nothing in the Trash who cannot move a 77KB
message into the Trash without getting the quota_exceeded message and
refusing to move it.

so... how do I get this to work?

thanks!
