Hi,
thanks for your helpful reply.
I understand that default_fields is not my solution.
To be more accurate, all users in ldap db need to use mail, but some
users in /etc/passwd file use mail too.
For this reason I set up "driver=passwd" in userdb section and in
/etc/nsswitch.conf I set up "passwd: files ldap".
Now I want to use dovecot per user quota to limit ldap users mailbox
size. I need quota only for ldap users, no need for users in /etc/passwd
file.
Which is the correct configuration to do this?
I understand that I need to use extra fields to obtain user quota from
users db. But you said "the userdb section cannot merge two databases
together". So I can not use dovecot per user quota with "driver=passwd"
in userdb section? I could use only global quota?
Thanks in advance
Michele
P.S.
1) I use dovecot-lda as delivery agent.
2) I send again my dovecot configuration:

I have problems in return extra fields from passwd userdb. My users
are partially in passwd files and partially in LDAP. Users who use
mail are in LDAP db.
If I use "default_fields = quota_rule=*:bytes=100M" in userdb,
if I use "default_fields = quota_rule=*:bytes=%{userdb:quotabytes}"
in userdb,
1) default_fields supplies default values, if the userdb does not
return them. Hence, you cannot reference a LDAP result.
2) the userdb section cannot merge two databases together. You said
"Users who use mail are in LDAP db", so you would one userdb with
driver ldap.
