System is running Dovecot v1.2.13
Yeah. With v1.2 without -p parameter it's first creating a temporary file into the user's home dir, which increases quota. In v2.0 /tmp is again the default, but it's now configurable:
# Directory in which LDA/LMTP temporarily stores incoming mails >128 kB. #mail_temp_dir = /tmp
The reason why it was moved away from /tmp in the first place was because someone complained that their /tmp was too small for it.
Hi Timo,
thanks for pointing that new configuration variable out. I've backported your patch to v1.2 and it's working fine now. I guess this temporary file is needed for supporting mbox but why is it needed for maildir?
thanks, / manuel
