For testing I replaced

/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $USER with /usr/sbin/sendmail $USER in the quota-warning.sh script. Now the mail is delivered when 80% or 95% of quota is reached. Any idea, why dovecot-lda doesn't deliver the warning mail?

Hi, I setup a new mailserver with dovecot 2.0.12. Everything is working fine (including quota) - except of sending quota warning mails.

When running /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh 95 user@domain.de manually as root or user vmail, the mail is delivered.

content of /usr/local/bin/quota-warning.sh

#!/bin/sh PERCENT=$1 USER=$2 logger -p mail.info "$PERCENT% Quota-warning sent to $USER" cat << EOF | /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $USER -o "plugin/quota=maildir:User quota:noenforcing" From: postmaster@domain.de Subject: $PERCENT% Mail quota warning Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Der Speicherplatz Ihres E-Mail-Postfaches ist zu $PERCENT% gefüllt. Bitte löschen Sie alte und unerwünschte E-Mails vom Server, um den Emfang neuer E-Mails aufgrund Speicherplatzmangels nicht zu behindern.

Your mailbox with us is now more than $PERCENT% full. To avoid mail loss due to lack of sufficient space, please remove old and unwanted mails from the server. EOF

Because of line 4 of the script I see in maillog, that the script is executed, but no mail is delivered? Any ideas?
