I am new to courier and just recently setup the following software.

Redhat 9
Postfix 2.1.1
Courier-IMAP 3.0.4

I am setting up all users as local user accounts. I had setup a dev box and
thought I had QUOTA working by just setting up locate unix quotas. Of course
the local quotas prevent Postfix from accepting email if the users file
quota is exceeded but the feature I am also interested is being able to get
the quota during a IMAP connection using GETQUOTA.

We are putting together an application that looks for this and during my
testing I was sure it was working using just the unix quota system. In any
case we formatted the system and did another scratch install I thought the
same way to document the procedure. Well now when I issue GETQUOTA I do not
get back any quota even though the quota is setup for the user at the
filesystem level.

So I started reading and from what I have found it does not look like
GETQUOTA could have worked using just the filesystem quota.? So I tried a
few other things.

One was setting postfix mailbox_command to deliverquota and then creating a
maildirsize file for the specific user. How when I log into the IMAP account
I can get QUOTA by issuing GETQUOTAROOT "INBOX" however if I use GETQUOTA
"INBOX" it does not return anything? Reading more documentation it looks as
if GETQUOTA should work as it requires less permissions then GETQUOTAROOT.

Also to get QUOTA to report and write correctly I had to setup the
permission on the maildirsize file as 777. I created it as root so that may
be the problem but what is the proper owner of maildirsize and permissions
required.

Also can I get Courier-IMAP to report the filesystem quota instead of using
deliverquota or maildrop?

Also can someone tell me if there is a searchable archive for this list?

Thanks
Jim
