I have Postfix/Dovecot with virtual domains, same setup unaltered since
server was set up quite a while ago

last month, added a new virtual domain, 'just like before'.

but, today noticed this in the queue/log 'overdrawn his diskspace quota'[1]:

user's Maildir cur has like  48,762,696 bytes (lot less than other users)

tried some searches, found similar probs, but, no solution as yet

any ideas ?

after physically removing some emails from this user's 'cur', I re-queued
'stuck' message, it was then accepted

# quota -g vmail
# quota -u vmail
