[Dovecot] 2.0.5: quota warning failing

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

>From the log:

Oct  6 09:54:10 postamt dovecot: imap(hkunte): Error: quota: connect(/usr/local/scripts/quota-warning2) failed: Permission denied

>From the config:

quota = maildir
quota_rule = INBOX.Trash:storage=+2048M
quota_warning = storage=99%% /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning2 99 %u
quota_warning2 = storage=95%% /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning2 95 %u
quota_warning3 = storage=90%% /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning2 90 %u
quota_warning4 = storage=85%% /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning2 85 %u
  
service quota-warning {
  executable = script /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning2
  # use some unprivileged user for executing the quota warnings
  user = vmail
  unix_listener quota-warning {
  }
}

But how exactly does this work? the user vmail cannot write to the
users' mailboxes, so I'd have to run /usr/local/scripts/quota-warning2
as root, don't I?
