*shakes head* who cares what version they have, it is outdated, and any bugs may have been found and fixed years ago! The same applies to ancient debian versions as well, in ANY software you have issues with, it is wise to use their latest current stable before asking them for help, be it dovecot, apache, postfix, bind... or whatever :) As developers hate wasting their time on ancient resolved bugs. sadly people who decide to only rely upon the ancient distro versions need to remember they are really "use at your own risk" packages.
Thanks for the information. I'm not trying to waste your time, and I wasn't really asking for 'help' per se, as much as simply a clear answer about whether that error was even worth worrying about. I'm well aware that 1.0.7 is a pretty old release, and you don't have much control over what the distro maintainers choose to package.
Generally speaking, I think there are advantages (not introducing incompatibility with other software, simple dependency resolution, automatic security updates, etc.) to sticking with repo versions, unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise. In this case, the bugfixes and improvements in quota accuracy are a good reason to upgrade.
Please download 1.2.12, the current stable release, however read the release notes because some settings will be incompatible with 1.0.x. there wont be too many differences but might be some, depending on your setup.
I have moved to 1.2.12 and updated my dovecot-dict-quota.conf file, and it seems to be working great.
Thanks again.

This is the biggest problem most people face. But the freedom of the Open Source world to use whats we want is powerful.

In most cases, most people have a compelling reason, bugs (not all fixes are back ported) and needed features, especially in the ISP/ASP world where not offering X more often than not means clients can not run script Y, so that provider looses when the client votes with their wallet.

That's great to here :) Glad it's all worked out. Cheers

Every distro that I know of has alternate repositories where reasonably up to date packaged can be had, so this is simply not a legitimate excuse.

I agree, but most distros have a way of accomplishing both. It may require a *little* extra work on the admins part, but it is well worth it, and anyone not willing to do that extra work deserves the oft resulting headaches...
