I changed in my Postfix configuration from 
/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver to /usr/local/bin/deliver.sh and 
created the following file (deliver.sh):
#!/bin/sh

QUOTA_RULE='*:storage=500M'
exec /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -k
-------

I'm still getting Quota exceeded messages, though 500M should be enough 
(Test-Mailbox is at 260M).

I'm using Dovecot 1.2.7 since this morning (Nice work, btw.). I read in 
the source code (deliver.c) and found out that env_clean (-k) only 
changes the TZ/Home, if necessary. If Quota_Rule always comes from the 
dovecot.conf, this would explain, why defining "Quota_Rule" before 
calling deliver does not work.

Sorry, im unable to understand the whole source code at once.

Any Ideas ?
