The quota command is fast, so it is trivial to make a script to modify the quotas on the fly. I have a perl script which sucks quota information of of an LDAP directory and uses Cyrus::IMAP::Admin to update the files. It is fast enough to run every five minutes without any trouble.
I've attached my scripts if you want to take a look.

On the first line there is the currently quota and on the second line there is the real hardquota, for example 100000 (100 MB) Its possible to stop the cyrus mailserver und replace the second line with another value without breaking something for all the defined postboxes?Yes that's possible but you should use Cyrus quota command instead which can be done while Cyrus is up and running. And note that quota information can be stores in other database formats which will make the method above unusable.thx for answer. But i had to change over 5 thousend mailboxes. so its impossible to change this boxes step by step. Thats the reason, i asked for changing directly in the textfile. But you say thats impossible cause it can be stores in other database formats. Do i have another possibility? Holm
