In consequence this means the configuration option quota_full_tempfail is applied in both cases. But to me there is a major difference between a full disk (a.k.a "admin fucked up") and over-quota (a.k.a. "user has simply too much stuff in his mailbox"). So I would like to be able tell Dovecot to reject messages due to full mailboxes, but simply defer those that cannot be stored due to a full disk (which I am to blame for).
To me this should result in two separate configuration options for the two problem root-causes:
quota_full_tempfail storage_full_tempfail
Or did I simply miss or completely misunderstood anything here?
no - in case of quota full i can take a phone and call the RCPT, he can make free space due the phone call and say "try it again please"
in case of disk full *this is* a permanent error likely not correctable by the user given that after delete a message a different one get a new and the disk is full again
that sort of mistakes happens one per decade and hardly need special handling - if that happens your user quotas are wrongly configured because the idea behind them is to prevent "disk full"
