checking quota

[lkolchin at univ.haifa.ac.il]

Hi,

I would suggest to use the solution from web-cyradm list:
http://www.web-cyradm.org/pipermail/web-cyradm/2004-November/017965.html

There is very nice and multipurpose script to deal with  quotas.
It's abaut integration of quota management for MTA (postfix) + Cyrus.

Leon Kolchinsky

Subject: checking quota

Hi,

I would like to implement the quota checking within my MTA which is exim and not use cyrus quota

what would be the less consuming way to do it ?

- check the quota.db  and extract the current mailboxe size for a particular user ?
- connect with tcp on imap and read the current quota value for the user ?

if the effective quota is > of a value defined into my ldap I deny the delivery to cyrus-imap

Thank you for you advices

Patrice
