As this looks a lot like you > just tried to check root users quota. Actually no, I tried "doveadm quote recalc" without any parameters ... I found the command in the wiki, which - as with most other information - might be helpful if you already know what you are doing ...
"If your quotas are out of sync, you can use doveadm quota recalc command to recalculate them. " I assumed it would recalculate all users' quotas ... using the -u argument with an account actually does seem to work, at least I do not get any errors. Also, the get command seems to be accurate from what I can tell. Further tests show that the system already checks the quota correctly ... and hard-rejects any mails to users with full quota ... So with that part already working, I have new problems to solve: * how do I keep mails from being rejected and kept in the local mailqueue instead? (which is the old system's behavior)? * what's the best (or simplest or recommended) way of setting up per-user-quotas in this setup? * how can I get an overview/list of all users and their quota usage? (I guess I just solved that - "doveadm quota get -A" seems to work) thanks, -garry
