My recommendation is that you use Passwd-file instead of Passwd and
specify /etc/passwd. I mention this, as Passwd can use NSS and may not
give you the results you want. Passwd-file will guarantee you use the
/etc/passwd file. Also, I'm not as familiar with v1.x, but I know in
v2.1.10, a userdb lookup doesn't use the userdb_ prefix. So you can try
it with and without that prefix. userdb_ prefix on v2 is for cases where
you do a prefetch on the passdb.
I hope this helps. I've been using Passwd-file only for proxy settings
and ldap for my backends to handle quota.

Hi Jake,
Yep, similar to what I had been trying, but it doesn't seem to be working.
In my /etc/passwd file I had the line:-
dave:x:1000:1000:David Travers,,,:/home/dave:/bin/bash
I have changed it to show:-
dave:x:1000:1000:David
Travers,,,:/home/dave:/bin/bash:userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=100M
Do I have to put the " userdb_mail=mbox:~/mail " in as well as that is
specified already in Dovecot?
Is there anything I need to do once specifying this in the passwd file as the
quota limit is not being shown as changed in Open Xchange
Also yes, I noticed the numbering and have corrected.
Thanks for your quick reply.
Dave

Hi All,
I keep going round in circles with this.
I have quotas up and running but would like to add a couple of per user
exceptions but can't figure out how to do it!
I am using Open Xchange community edition on top of dovecot and tha tis showing
the 200MB limit, if I change it in the dovecot.conf the change is reflected in
open xchange, but can't figure out how to change for 1 user.
I believe I need to add to a passwd file, but I have added to that and nothing
has changed.
user:{plain}pass:1000:1000::/home/user::userdb_mail=mbox:~/mail
userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=100M
user2:{plain}pass2:1001:1001::/home/user2::userdb_mail=maildir:~/Maildir
userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=200M
Example given on http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields
Note that the extra fields are prefixed with userdb_ when placed in a passwd
file.
Also, watch your quota_rule numbering. You have 2 rules with the same number
(quota_rule2 for Trash and SPAM). In the passwd file, you are replacing the
rule specified by number (no number technically being the first).
