User without a quota-file in their homedirs get a quota set in dovecot.conf.

Sure this works for IMAP.

Im using LDA. According to the wiki this should not work:

Because the script is run only when logging in with IMAP, not when delivering new mails, so deliver runs with the default quota limit.

According to my tests it does indeed work. What is not supposed to work?

The script is definitely not run by deliver, but maybe you've managed to make it work some other way (or you misunderstood something). One possibility would be to set $QUOTA before running deliver and making sure deliver doesn't override it.
