Probably because you're trying to use automake 1.4, which is too old.

2.57 is probably new enough for Dovecot, if you have that.

I forgot to add this workaround for POP3, since I originally forgot that
quota plugin is actually useful with POP3 too. Fixed in:
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2006-May/005569.html

But that requires you to run automake again..

And you really have quota enabled in that filesystem? I don't have quota
enabled anywhere, so I haven't been able to test that it's really
working, but the code looks that it matches the quotactl()'s man page..

What do you mean wasn't persistant? That users had to subscribe again?
That renaming should have worked..
