Dovecot QuotaClone plugin

  • 772

I am trying to get the new QuotaClone plugin in Dovecot (2.2.18) working. The documentation says the configuration should be like this:

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota quota_clone
plugin {
  quota_clone_dict = redis:127.0.0.1:6379
}

However, it does not say anything about the configuration file this should be in, so I assumed 20-lmtp.conf and 90-quota.conf are the appropriate locations. The Dovecot example immediately returned the following error "Error: quota_clone_dict: Failed to initialize 'redis:127.0.0.1:6379': dict redis: Unknown parameter: 6379".

After looking at the plugin code and the redis dict code, I changed it to the configuration below. It does not return any error now, but it does not work either (tcpdump shows no packages going to Redis).

90-quota.conf

plugin {
  quota = maildir:User quota
  quota_clone_dict = redis:host=127.0.0.1:port=6379
}

20-lmtp.conf

protocol lmtp {
  postmaster_address = [email protected]
  mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota quota_clone
}

I know the Quota Clone plugin is quite new, but maybe someone got it working already and can share some knowledge with me?

  1. Redis server should be described as

    quota_clone_dict = redis:127.0.0.1:6379
