Hello,

Currently vpopmail doesn't include trashed messages in quota usage. These are messages that were marked as deleted (IMAP flag \Deleted) but are still not expunged. These are denoted by the T flag in Maildir: http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html

It seems two of the popular mail servers out there have opposing behavior: courier doesn't count trashed messages while dovecot does count them.

In my setup I have some users, who seem to forgot to expunge (also known as "Compact" in thunderbird) their mailboxes and trahsed messages keep piling up and filling filesystems. That's why I prefer including trashed messages in quota usage and forcing users to take measures this way.

I guess it'd be best to add a configuration option (either ./configure compile time or runtime to some config file), but for my specific case I patched maildirquota.c with the attached patch.

HTH someone.


Best regards,
Teodor
