I have dovecot 1.0.rc15-2, postfix 2.3.8 and virtual users and domains installed in debian sarge, the users quota are not working.

Hi Juan,

The first thing to do would be to get dovecot upgraded to 1.0.1, but, something you should be aware of - the VDA patch is considered 'not good' by the postfix developers. From one of the threads on the postfix users list back in February:

excerpt from: http://www.howtoforge.org/virtual_users_postfix_courier_mailscanner_clamav_c...

"The doco etc for the [VDA] patch makes it sounds like it does everything you need. However when you actually inspect the code it is a total debacle zone. There are numerous logic errors - the patch fails to follow the Maildir++ specs, and will cause a ridiculous amount of needless load on your server. Maildrop does everything correctly, doesn't require the Postfix source code to be patched (which is good for Postfix's security/reliability), and gives additional features like quota warnings."

This was in response to the following question:

I have applied the pacth VDA and didn't work, if a I sent a mail to another user which exceeds his quota this user can receive the mail without problem, this said to me that the quota doesn't work. I use maildir in mi configuration.

Please help me with this problem.
