I personnaly use courier's maildirmake, which is a real binary unlike
dovecote's maildirmake which is a thin bash wrapper around the linux mkdir
command. Courier's maildirmake on the other hand has this nice -q option that
let you specify a quota, at creation time of afterwards.
I'm using it in a script like this :
root@messagerie[CHROOT][10.10.10.20] ~/SCRIPTS/MAIL # cat setupquota.single
if [[ "$#" = 0 ]]
then
echo "usage : $0 bo...@domain.com [quota en megas]"
exit 1
fi
quota=$((1024*1024*1024)) #1Go
inbox="${1%@*}"
maildir="/var/vmail/example.domain/$inbox"
backup="/var/vmail/backup.example.domain/$inbox"
if [[ "$#" = 2 ]]
then
quota=$((1024*1024*$2))
fi
function set_quota {
local quota="$1"
local dst="$2"
echo maildirmake.courier -q "$quota"S "$dst"
maildirmake.courier -q "$quota"S "$dst"
echo chown vmail:vmail -R "$dst"
chown vmail:vmail -R "$dst"
}
set_quota "$quota" "$maildir"
quota=$(( 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 5 )) # 5Go
set_quota "$quota" "$backup"
echo "-------------------------------------------------------------------------"
root@messagerie[CHROOT][10.10.10.20] ~/SCRIPTS/MAIL #
And use it like this :
root@messagerie[CHROOT][10.10.10.19] ~/SCRIPTS/MAIL # ./setupquota.single
h.messamri@example.domain 1024

Subject: quota rules for mail users
Dear All,
Is it possible to make quota rules under $HOME/Maildir/* mailboxes with
a specific command such as 'edquota' when the first email arrives at the
$HOME/Maildir/{new,cur,tmp} of a user. In the below example, the <UserB>
is the one who gets an email for the first time.
&é"edquota -p <UserA> <UserB>
---man edquot---
-p, --prototype=protoname
Duplicate the quotas of the prototypical user specified for each user
specified. This is the normal mechanism used to initialize quotas for
groups of users.

To configure quotas in postfix/dovecot environment, it seems that you
need to use dovecot-lda plugin, and then my exact question is as follows:
Is it possible to automatically run any commands or scripts in order to
set a quota rule to $HOME/Maildir/* mailboxes when users receive an
email for the first time? I just found the post-login service allows you
to execute scripts after authentication in the following URL, but I have
not found the exact way to make it.

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
