[Dovecot] Override Quota with post-login scripting problem

Hi everyone,

I do have the following dovecot-setup:
Passdb: PAM (Winbind-auth and pam_mkhomedir-session)
Userdb: passwd (NSS-winbind)

This validates/creates my users with aid of my running ActiveDirectory.

Now the problem: My global quota policy works fine, but I need to 
override them for some users. I was sucessful within IMAP itself. I use 
post-login scripting for that. The mail-clients displays the user-quota 
correctly.

But delivery is still a problem, because I'm unable to override the 
settings there with post-login scripting.

Everytime I send messages to such a user, dovecot sends it back with 
"Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)"...

My Question: Is it possible to override the lda quota like I can do it 
within imap ?

(I dont want to change my setup to MYSQL DB only for per-user Quota, if 
its possible to use a simple file with names and quota)


This is the post-login script:
#quotaperuser.sh
#!/bin/sh
case "$USER" in
   "ZAGH-V+username") QUOTA_RULE='*:storage=500M';;
   "ZAGH-V+test") QUOTA_RULE='*:storage=5000M';;
esac
exec /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap $*
