We must remember that the wiki is written mostly by people that have been working with dovecot for many years. I think you referred to this page: https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota so I fixed the syntax. The correct syntax was in the https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/Quota page already. > 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.

(which is the old system's behavior)? you can change this setting: plugin { quota_status_overquota = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full” } to give 4xx SMTP error code instead to force the MTA to retry for up to 48 hours as mandated by the RFC. > * what's the best (or simplest or recommended) way of setting up > per-user-quotas in this setup? you can also return quota_rules from usertb.

(I > guess I just solved that - "doveadm quota get -A" seems to work) User iteration must work in order for that command to work. Making user iteration to work once again depends on what kind of userdb/passdb setup you have. Sami
