NAME
doveadm-quota - Initialize/recalculate or show current quota usageSYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] quota [-S socket_path] commanddoveadm [-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 key: value 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
