Dear all,

On a new server (postfix dovecot postfixadmin Centos)
I did define quota=0 in postfixadmin

However suddenly a user with more than 9Gb of mail got his mailbox new/cur 
empty and maillog shows:

Sep  3 15:43:56 mail16 dovecot: lda(brouwerb at scholarium.nl): Error: sieve: 
msgid=<alpine.LRH.2.20.1509031543050.16381 at streaming2.antenna.nl>: failed 
to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)
Sep  3 15:43:56 mail16 dovecot: lda(brouwerb at scholarium.nl): Error: sieve: 
script /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve failed with unsuccessful implicit 
keep
Sep  3 15:43:56 mail16 dovecot: lda(brouwerb at scholarium.nl): 
msgid=<alpine.LRH.2.20.1509031543050.16381 at streaming2.antenna.nl>: 
rejected: Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)


Apparently somewhere a quota is defined, probably in dovecot

cd /etc/dovecot
grep -R quota * |grep -v "#"
conf.d/auth-vpopmail.conf.ext:  args = 
quota_template=quota_rule=*:backend=%q
dovecot.conf:  mail_plugins = quota sieve
dovecot.conf:  mail_plugins = quota imap_quota trash
dovecot.conf:  mail_plugins = quota
dovecot.conf:  quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf
dovecot.conf:  quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict
dovecot-dict-quota.conf:  pattern = priv/quota/storage
dovecot-dict-quota.conf:  table = quota2
dovecot-dict-quota.conf:  pattern = priv/quota/messages
dovecot-dict-quota.conf:  table = quota2
dovecot-mysql.conf:user_query = SELECT concat('/home/vmail/', maildir) as 
home, concat('maildir:/home/vmail/', maildir) as mail, 101 AS uid, 12 AS 
gid, CONCAT('*:messages=10000:bytes=', quota) as quota_rule FROM mailbox 
WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'

What should be changed where to disable quota (as to messages and space)?


Thanks a lot,

warm regards,
