[Dovecot] quota issue POP3

[Obantec Support]

Hi

Just u/g to RH FC3 from RH8.0 which seemed to work fine with quotas.

I have quotas for usernames set up as

/home/domain/domainX/username/ for web space 50MB say 48MB used so 2MB free
and
/var/mail/spool/username for email.    100MB (60MB used so 40MB is
available). /var/mail/username is symbolic linked via to spool/mail under
/var

dovecot seems to be using the quota for /home/.. and sees only 2MB so
refuses to write file back.

maillog is reporting (username and IP replaced).

Mar 16 13:20:03 proteus2a pop3-login: Login: username [11.22.33.44]
Mar 16 13:20:03 proteus2a pop3(username): Error rewriting mbox file
/var/mail/username: Disk quota exceeded
Mar 16 13:20:03 proteus2a pop3(username): write() failed with mbox file
/var/mail/username: Disk quota exceeded

i am assuming this is when pop3 login is trying to re-write file back when
deleting emails.
