[Dovecot] Question regarding quotas (is this a bug or intended behavior) ?

[Gilles Chauvin]

Hi,

I was wondering if this is a normal behavior (test was made using
Dovecot v2.2.9).


In my config, quotas are configured as follows:
plugin {
  quota = dict:Userquota::file:%h/dovecot-quota
  quota_rule = *:storage=1G
  quota_rule2 = Trash:ignore
}


# doveadm mailbox status -u my_user "messages vsize" '*'
Trash messages=4997 vsize=229535631
Drafts messages=0 vsize=0
Sent messages=0 vsize=0
Junk messages=0 vsize=0
INBOX messages=0 vsize=0

# doveadm -f flow quota get -u my_user
Quota name=Userquota Type=STORAGE Value=0 Limit=1048576 %=0
Quota name=Userquota Type=MESSAGE Value=0 Limit=- %=0


The 4997 mails in the Trash mailbox are ignored as desired, but now, if
I have the following case:

# doveadm mailbox status -u my_user "messages vsize" '*'
Trash messages=0 vsize=0
Trash/TEST messages=4997 vsize=229535631
Drafts messages=0 vsize=0
Sent messages=0 vsize=0
Junk messages=0 vsize=0
INBOX messages=0 vsize=0

(As you can see mails were moved to a Trash/TEST mailbox)


# doveadm -f flow quota get -u my_user
Quota name=Userquota Type=STORAGE Value=220918 Limit=1048576 %=21
Quota name=Userquota Type=MESSAGE Value=4997 Limit=- %=0



I tried to add the following quota_rule:
  quota_rule3 = Trash/*:ignore

But this doesn't fix anything.


Do you have any idea about why this is not working ?


Thanks,
Regards,
Gilles.
