Sorry, I forgot to include this part..
Unfortunately I've set it to no, that's the problem..

protocol lda {
   postmaster_address = postmaster at forthnet.gr
   mail_plugins = quota
   quota_full_tempfail = no
   sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
   auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
}
