[Dovecot] Unexplainable problem with POP3 quotas

How does Postfix deliver the mails? mailbox_command should be set to use 
deliver, not maildrop/procmail.

I just tested the quota-warning, with the dovecot-deliver-example.

Exactly the same time as the mail exceeding the quota-percentage is 
delievered in the account, the quota-warning-message is generated and 
also delivered.

Try the injection using deliver, and use the "alternative script" from 
the wiki-page as quota_warning.

I just tested it, works great.


Also: when using dovecot-deliver, the maildir-indizes are being 
generated better and faster than with alternative MDAs.
