For example you might want to access everybody's +quota via Redis (or with SQL database, Redis is example here), but you don't +store the Redis database permanently so it could become empty once in a while. +In this case you can use e.g. <dict-file> [Quota.Dict.txt] or <count> +[Quota.Count.txt] as the authoritative quota database and make a copy of the +quota usage to Redis. From Redis you could then once in a while gather +everybody's current quota usage and send it to yet another place (e.g. for +statistics handling). + +Every time quota is updated, the value is updated to the cloned dict. There are +race conditions with it so the quota may not always be 100% correct. The old +value is always replaced with the new one though (not just +incremented/decremented) so the cloned quota is never too much wrong. + +The keys that are written to: + + * priv/quota/storage - storage usage in bytes + * priv/quota/messages - count of messages + +Configuration +------------- + +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- +mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota quota_clone +plugin { + quota_clone_dict = redis:host=127.0.0.1:port=6379 +} +---%<------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +(This file was created from the wiki on 2019-06-19 12:42) |
