Tried on my server, seems like you're right - Dovecot is ignoring quota_rule userdb field and grabs the soft limit from the filesystem.
OK good to know. So it sounds like Dovecot is relying on the filesystem quota system to do the enforcement.
Don't think so. From my experience when you have different soft and hard filesystem quota, Dovecot enforces the quota even when filesystem would allow writing more data (ie. when you are above soft quota but under hard quota.)
