Hello,
First of all, postfix doesn't support quota's by default. There is the quota patch of course. But there is a reason that it isn't included by default. (but I'm not sure what the exact reason is, if it's not the one below).
Secondly, how do you define the quota of a mailbox? There are many ways to do that. (Filesystem quota's, Maildir++ quota, and probably other ways). Do you think it's the mail 'routing' system's job to know all these different implementations?
Instead I think it's a cleaner (and more logical) way to let the mail delivery agent take care of this, hence by deliver from dovecot.

Hello, I'm a bit confused with the dovecot quota support. What is it for? I thought postfix should be the one managing the quota. If I set up a quota in dovecot, does dovecot keep the messages size under certain limit? What happen when you reach the quota limit? What's the difference between postfix quotas and dovecot quota? I'm confused about this.
Thank you!
