Hmm. I wonder if I should add more error message logging in here.. Although I think the main reason is that dict isn't connected to SQL database, and it should have logged about it already.

Dovecot returns temporary failure and the mail should get redelivered. v2.1.9+ has also plugin { quota_ignore_save_errors=yes } setting, which is the default also with v2.2.
