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

Hi Rafael,
For this quota to work, the inbox needs to have recieved email via pop or
lmtp... if the user has never logged in, or if he has never gotten email,
then you cannot change the quota.
Thanks for your response. The messages are delivered from Postfix via
LMTP socket. If I send a message and the user inbox hasn't been created
with cyradm, then I get this error:
/var/cyrus/imap/socket/lmtp[/var/cyrus/imap/socket/lmtp]
said: 550-Mailbox unknown. Either there is no mailbox associated
with this
550-name or you do not have authorization to see it. 550 5.1.1 User
unknown
(in reply to RCPT TO command)
If I create the user inbox with cyradm and send then a message, then the
default quota is infinite (not listed with the quota command).
Bye,
Bernd
