So within my setup there is both file system quotas, and individual mail
quotas (from mysql). The mail quotas, maildrop handles fine and returns
a reasonal message when the account has hit the end. However when the
file system quota runs out, all it gets back is unable to deliver to
mailbox..
My understand was that the filesystem would have obviously told maildrop
that it cant write antyhing, and more then likely said that its out of
quota.. but maildrop either ignores that information, or isnt setup to
recieve it properly.. Im just wondering what else i can do, short of
making a maildropfilter that checks it first, to make it play nice with
the file system and return a decent error if it is unable to deliver due
to file system quota exhausted..
Thanks!

During my testing of maildrop with file system quotas, i noticed that
when the virtualuser was out of space (due to hitting a file system
quota) that the error message returned was quite ambiguous
Nov 29 09:44:23 leela postfix/pipe[3585]: 3FFF78ADD6:
to=<us...@domain.com>, relay=maildrop, delay=26, delays=23/1/0/1.5,
dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: maildrop:
error writing to mailbox. /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to deliver to mailbox. )
Im wondering if that error is displayed instead of a simple quota
reached issue or something due to not being able to make a dotlock file
or something simular, but i really have no clue.. Any suggestions on how
to make it return a decent error that wouldnt be confusing if the email
eventually bounced?
What does maildirsize (file) in the user's Maildir say about the quota
when that happens? It sounds like maildrop isn't getting the quota anywhere.
I use maildrop with LDAP and have my quotas there - maildrop gives a
bounce back to Postfix (permission denied. Command output: maildrop:
maildir over quota.). Postfix (bounce) then sends a bounce notice back
to the sender. Besides which, that method is far more flexible: quotas
can more easily be changed than by using file system quotas - we have
frequently to increase quotas on our rigs.
