Looks right.

That log was from pop3, not from mail delivery.. It's too late by then to give any kind of warnings.

(Note that I am forced to set (in Postfix) virtual_mailbox_limit = 0, because the max acceptable value of this parameter is 2G and in Dovecot I define mailbox limits of 4G. I haven't yet set any VDA parameters.)

Postfix completely ignores quotas limits, warnings and everything else you've set in Dovecot! You need to be using Dovecot LDA. http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA
