Everything work fine and mail can be saved to user's home directory without error when the user is not over quota. If over quota occur, the maillog log this error message:

Hmm. Interesting. I'll check tomorrow.

I tried run the dovecot-lda at command line: /usr/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d xxx@xxx.com < some_saved_mail

The result is dovecot quota plugin reject the mail and send an over quota message back to the sender without any error.

It seems that the error is only occur with postfix pipe command.

You can most likely reproduce it with:

cat some_saved_mail | dovecot-lda -d ..
