[Dovecot] Sendmail, procmail, dovecot and quota

[papi mac]

I tried this idea and it seems to work well. I ran into a problem that is probably Fedora related. The delivery failed because of a permission problem in /var/spool/mail. The users are not able to create the dotlock files there and so the error message is:

deliver(admin): open(/var/mail/.temp.mail.tecno.com.br.18793.f9456dce0b91597f) failed: Permission denied
deliver(admin): file_lock_dotlock() failed with mbox file /var/mail/admin: Permission denied

I would like to avoid messing with the users and permissions to this directory, so I thought it would be good to have "deliver" create the dotlock files in another place. Is this possible and how is it configured?

Thanks.

| "/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -m $DEFAULT -e"


Would this mean that "deliver" will look at the size of the $DEFAULT file (using a dirsize directive in dovecot.conf) and sned an error message back if it is over quota?

Right, that's what I mean -

at the end of the default procmail rules (like in /etc/procmailrc), pipe 
the message to deliver with the right arguments.

I don't actually use deliver, either, but maybe others can say more, or 
maybe you can figure it out from here.
