Studying dovecot source code (searching for mail_deliver_hook_set)

[chaouche yacine]

Thanks ! I don't know if there's documentation about dovecot's design as a whole, not the details of the plugin itself, to get the big picture ? I assume the plugins are loaded in a loop at dovecot startup, or at login, or when mail is delivered via lda/lmtp ? in the particular case of the quota plugin I assume the quota functions are called from  LMTPD (since this is how I configured postfix to talk to dovecot) ? should I look in LMTPD's source code to find the function that calls the plugin ?

And in particular, you want to look at src/plugins/quota/quota-maildir.c
