[Dovecot] Problem overriding default quota limit

[RAUL JAREÑO MORAGO]

Hi Daniel,

The "userdb" ldap is in this section:

protocol lmtp {
  mail_plugins = " quota sieve"
  userdb {
    args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-lmtp.conf.ext
    driver = ldap
  }
}

And dovecot-ldap-lmtp.conf.ex contains this: 

hosts = xxx.xxx.es:389
dn = uid=xxxxx,o=xxxxxx,c=es
dnpass = xxxxxxxxxxx
ldap_version = 3
base = o=xxxxxxxxxxxx,c=ES
user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home,mailquotasize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$
user_filter = (uid=%u)

LDAP Entry for mailquotasize is missing... so far so good.

Here comes the interesting part, ldap "userdb" has returned
"QUOTA_RULE=*:BYTES=" and this empty value seems to correspond
to 0 Bytes as you can read from the resulting Quota rule:

> lmtp(8235, eepp68): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=*
bytes=0 messages=0

The "bytes=..." value should be different from 0.

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration#LDAP states that
user_attrs is used only if you use userdb ldap.

Where is the "userdb" ldap in your doveconf -n output
and where do you get the user information like quota from?

The default is not taken since your LDAP query returns a quota_rule
with an empty bytes= value when the mailquotasize entry is missing.

Daniel
