Hi, I'm having some problems after activating the quota plugin: I followed the guide from the doc[0] but I'm having problems with some virtual user. I understand that,with my conf,the quota plugin check the limit of a user and then tell postfix to accept/discard the mail. i have some users under my main domain [conf in /etc/passwd] and some virtual user/domains [conf in virtusertable/virtdomains as files in postfix]. the virtual users use their local user for the login, so dovecot doesn't know they are virtual. I think the problem is here, because it is clear that the quota-status check is made by dovecot using the virtual user and not the local user[1]. understanding the problem doesn't help me in the resolution [other than burn everything and rebuild with a single management for local/virtual users using a db] but i will prefer a more soft approach. any help? my complete conf below[2]

thanks, noemi

[1] where the virtual user is mail@virtdomain.com and the local user is mail_virtdomain the check is done to user 'mail', thus returning a error: Nov 16 06:36:09 quota-status(other-user)<129776>: Error: Failed to lookup user mail@virtdomain.com: Mail access for users with UID 8 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup).
