Ana,

I had the same issue a while back. Here's what I did to get maildrop/imap
quotas working for virtual users

1. Make sure each virtual user has the mailQuota attribute in the LDAP database 2. Set the uidNumber and gidNumber attribute to the same uid and gid of the user
who owns the mail store, I use vmail.

I'm attaching a copy of my maildropldap.config for your reference. If you read
the file carefully, you'll see EXACTLY what you need to do. There is an example
LDAP entry at the end of the maildropldap.config file. I hope this helps. If
not, let me know and I'll give you the step by step instructions.

Ciao,

Mike McNeil Sr. Network Engineer Inphonic, Inc. U.C. Division

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1

Hello! I need help to configure quotas with maildrop-ldap. I've read a lot of messages abouts this, but I'm not able to get this works. My setup: Postfix 2.1 Courier-imap 3.0 Maildrop 1.6.3 with suppor for LDAP OpenLDAP 2.1 I've virtual users and I've configured my maildropldap.conf to use quotas. Postfix: mailbox_command= maildrop Courier-Imap: LDAP_MAILDIRQUOTA quota Maildropldap.conf: quota_attr quota

All users authenticated OK, but quota doesn't work OK. Must I configure maildroprc? How? homeDirectory is in LDAP. Beside, If I want to send quotawarnmsg, I thint I have to use deliverquota: deliverquota -w 90 500S ./Maildir, but 500S is storaged in LDAP server and ./Maildir too. Must I use .mailfilter for each user? How can I get create Maildir the first time user receives an e-mail?

Thanks in advance.

- -- Un cordial saludo Ana

# Sample maildropldap.conf file, to enable virtual users via # LDAP in maildrop. # # In order for the LDAP extension to work properly a few # attributes must exist in the LDAP entries. # # You may redefine the actual names of these attributes, as they appear # in your LDAP object class further down in this config file. # # The attributes are: # # mail - The full email address of the user (ie us...@yourdomain.com) # This is the primary attribute searched upon by maildrop. # # maildir - The location (full path including name) of the users # mail directory (Maildir) # # homedirectory - The location (full path including name) of the # users home directory. This may be the same as the # users maildir. # # uidnumber - The uid of the user that owns the mail files for # this user. This may be a specific uid per user, # or a single uid for every user (full 'virtual' user # configuration), or a combination. # # gidnumber - The gid of the user that owns the mail files for # this user. This may be a specific gid per user, # or a single gid for every user (full 'virtual' user # configuration), or a combination. # # quota - *OPTIONAL* The quota for this user. If blank, or # non-existent defaults to no quota. # # A sample LDAP entry is given at the end of this file. # # --- Actual configuration begins here -----------------------------

# hostname - host name of your ldap server hostname bilou.uc.inphonic.com

# basedn - base DN by which to search for LDAP entries basedn dc=U2,dc=com

# filter - optional, addition filter to add to # default 'mail=<email address>' # 'emailstatus' is an attribute which could be created in the # LDAP entry to set whether or not the user is allowed to # receive email on this box.. just an example # # this option can be left out and the default search would # just be 'mail=<email address>' #filter &(&(objectclass=vmailAccount)(emailstatus=active))

# binddn, bindpw - optional, binddn and password if your ldap server # requires you to authenticate before searching binddn cn=Admin,dc=U2,dc=com bindpw secret

# timeout - specifies maximum time ( in seconds ) to wait for a response # from the LDAP server timeout 5

# search_method - used to specify whether to search on the users id, or # email address, and may be either 'mail' or 'uid' # # if set to 'mail' (default) then to deliver mail to a user you must # specify the entire email address: # ie. maildrop -d joeu...@domain.com # # if set to 'uid' then to deliver mail to a user you need only specify # the users id (username) # ie. maildrop -d joeuser # search_method uid

# default_uid - default uid (number only) to use incase uidnumber attribute not # found in users ldap entry default_uidnumber 1000

# default_gid - default gid (number only) to use incase gidnumber attribute not # found in users ldap entry default_gidnumber 1000
