Doveadm-Quota

Name ☜

doveadm-quota - Initialize/recalculate or show current quota usage

Synopsis ☜

doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] quota [-S socket_path] command
doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] quota [-S socket_path] command -A
doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] quota [-S socket_path] command -u user

Description ☜

In the first form, doveadm(1) will execute the command for the currently logged in user.

In the second form, the command will be performed for all users.

In the third form, the command will affect only the matching user(s).

Note:: The quota get and quota recalc commands are only available when the global mail_plugins setting contains the quota plugin.

Options ☜

Global doveadm(1) options:

-D

Enables verbosity and debug messages.

-f formatter

Specifies the formatter for formatting the output. Supported formatters are:

flow: prints each line with key=value pairs.
pager: prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates records with form feed character (^L).
tab: prints a table header followed by tab separated value lines.
table: prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.

-v

Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

Command specific options:

-A: If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for all users. Using this option in combination with system users from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured with the first_valid_uid setting.
When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iterate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches your database layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Otherwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.
-S socket_path: The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.
This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands through the given socket.
-u user/mask: Run the command only for the given user. It's also possible to use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
When neither the -A option nor -u user was specified, the command will be executed with the environment of the currently logged in user.

Commands ☜

Quota Get ☜

doveadm [-f formatter] quota get [-A|-u user]

The quota recalc command is used to recalculate the current quota usage.
