rejected: Not enough disk space

Because it's the NFS server that enforces the quota here. You'd get this
error even if you didn't load quota plugin at all. Also note that it's
saying "Not enough disk space", not "Quota exceeded" which is the error
message from Dovecot v1.0's quota plugin.

Looking at quota-tools sources, it seemed to ignore the active-check
entirely. So I don't know if Dovecot should ignore it too..
