BTW. It's also possible to use :noenforcing flag so Dovecot wouldn't try
to enforce the quota limit but just let the write() on filesystem fail.

Hmmh. I kind of hate the idea of making this configurable.. Maybe if
filesystem quota is enabled, Dovecot should use /tmp and otherwise home.
Yeah, did that to v2.0:

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/e63dd7e7ea6e
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/bd8ed4b97fe3

If someone still really wants to use some other directory, it's possible
to write a plugin to override it.
