Cyrus 2.2.10: autocreatequota?

[Christos Soulios]

Hello all,
   I would like make clear some points about the autocreate inbox 
patch. 	  1. There is a patch for Cyrus 2.2.10.
   2. If you have already created the mailbox through cyradm, the patch 
will not be activated and thus will not set any quota on your mailbox.
   3. The patch is activated when the user logs in through IMAP or POP3 
and the mailbox does not exist (autocreatequota option must be > 0) or 
if a mail is sent to a mailbox that does not exist through LMTP 
(autocreatequota > 0 and createonpost = yes).

For more information and detailed documentation about the patch, you can 
fread 
http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autocreate/README.autocreate-cyrus-2.2

One final note is that the patch is not contained by default in the 
cyrus distribution. Therefore, you will have to patch your cyrus sources 
(patch can be downloaded from 
http://email.uoa.gr/projects/cyrus/autocreate/) or download Simon 
Matter's RPM packages that contain the patch.

I hope this mail cleared things out a bit.

Cheers,
Christos
