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 -F file
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 be performed for all users listed in the given file.

In the fourth 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 keyvalue 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.
-o setting=value
Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the given value. In order to override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified multiple times.
-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.

-F file
Execute the command for all the users in the file. This is similar to the -A option, but instead of getting the list of users from the userdb, they are read from the given file. The file contains one username per line.
-S socket_path
The optionaqs 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. Itaqs also possible to use aq*aq and aq?aq wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
When neither the -A option, nor the -F file option, nor the -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|-F file]

The quota get command is used to display the current quota usage. The storage values are reported in kilobytes.

This command uses by default the output formatter table.  

quota recalc

doveadm quota recalc [-A|-u user|-F file]

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

FILES

/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Dovecotaqs main configuration file, including the dict section.
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
SQL dictionary proxy settings.
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
Mailbox locations and namespaces, including global mail_location
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-quota.conf
Quota configuration.
