[maildropl] problem with mail quota

[Goutam B. <gou...@ce...>]

Dear All,

I am not too sure whether this is the correct list to post for my problem.
In case it is not, please excuse me.

We are trying to configure a mailing system using RHEL 4, postfix, courier
and openldap. The system should autheticate users using openldap and mailing
quota is to be implemented. The message store is in maildir format and all
the individual mail stores are under the user and group vmail. The ldap
schema has an attribute mailQuotaSize and we are putting appropriate data
here to control the individual storage quota. The following packages are
installed using rpms:

Postfix-2.3.8-4.rhel4

courier-authlib-debuginfo-0.58-1.4AS
courier-imap-4.1.1-1.4AS
courier-authlib-0.58-1.4AS
courier-authlib-devel-0.58-1.4AS
courier-imap-debuginfo-4.1.1-1.4AS
courier-authlib-ldap-0.58-1.4AS

mod_authz_ldap-0.26-2
openldap-2.2.13-6.4E
nss_ldap-226-13
python-ldap-2.0.1-2
openldap-clients-2.2.13-6.4E
php-ldap-4.3.9-3.15
openldap-devel-2.2.13-6.4E
openldap-servers-2.2.13-6.4E

We have compiled pcre-7.2 with the default options and maildrop-2.0.3 have
been compiled with the following options:

--without-db --enable-maildrop-uid=vmail --enable-maildrop-gid=vmail --enabl
e-maildropquota --with-etcdir=/etc/maildrop --with-devel

Additionally squirrelmail has been installed.

The mails are running properly. The only issue we are facing is with the
quota. The mail store is in maildir format and we are not having the
maildirsize file created. If the file is created with the command
maildirmake -q command, the file is working properly with IMAP but any
change in the ldap quota information is not getting reflected here. When we
connect the server with POP clients like Outlook, the maildirsize file is
not getting updated.

Can you please give us some hints regarding the probable cause of this?
Search in google has not helped much.
