2. How does one send quota warning messages when
quota_mailbox_message_count crosses thresholds?
The documentation [1] has examples for quota_storage_size and
quota_message_count but not quota_mailbox_message_count. I am missing
quota_mailbox_message_percentage.
At the moment it's not possible, as it has not been considered similarly as
other quota rules. Currently the best way is to count the number of mailboxes
in private namespace with e.g. doveadm mailbox list.
For completeness we should include quota_mailbox_count. I leave this
unlimited.
It seems hash to block receipts without warning. I could write a script
that does "ls | wc" or add it to my JEE server that handles mail meta
data, policy and some other services. It would be good to have it as a
dovecot triggered warning rather than, or in addition to, an
asynchronous check.
I welcome the addition of quota_mailbox_message_count. Some users have
>20,000 messages in their INBOXes with a significant proportion being
unread. It only slows themselves but a little coercion to archive or
delete is a good thing.
I can advise users without a hard limit so for now I will leave
quota_mailbox_message_count unlimited.
