client groups, group quotas, ldap etc.

Hello,
I've read this (quite old)

http://www.nabble.com/Group-quotas-td7814443.html#a7814443

What's the current status of this ? client_idnr column is still present,
and there's field_cid in ldap configuration in dbmail.conf

Can I ask some up-to-date explanation how this works with field_quota,
if still does? My groups are based on posix gidNumber.

Regards,
Piotr

As it sits now, there are no group quotas or per mailbox(folder) quotas.
Only the entire storage of a user has a quota on it. We do not have a
table to store the group quota information at this point.

You could probably script something together to make a psuedo group
quota by taking the sum of the used space on your users and comparing
against your target limit. If it exceeds your limit, you could set a per
user quota equal to thier current usage to stop insertion of messages
until it falls below that limit. When the script runs again and finds it
lower than your target, set their quota back to 0 (off).

I have a couple of goals already to get into the 2.3.x branch, but I
think we can look at improving the quota handling and maybe work on
getting per-user, per-mailbox, and per-group all in there and setup an
automatic message to appear in the mailbox when the quota is exceeded.
This message would not be able to be deleted or moved. The body of the
message could be user configurable. That is my thought on that, but not
this week.
