It's strange that such an important aspect isn't documented. This is how ufs(system) quotas are mentioned in courirer imap docs.

"If you would like to have a quota on your maildir mailboxes, the best solution is to always use filesystem-based quotas: per-user usage quotas that is enforced by the operating system."

but is maildrop or maildirquota able to read those quotas and do the same user notfications as with maildir quota files ?

I have it working with 2 methods simultaneously, to have notification sent out automatically, so users clean out their mailboxes and don't bother us with quota related calls, but I would like to avoid using 2 different methods. The system isn't live yet, but I'm sure this will become an issue with almost 4000 users. historically using ufs quotas with IMAP hasn't been working out very well. maildrop -w feature seems to deliver exactly what I need, but how can it be implemented with ufs quotas ?

Thank you for your reply.

My understanding is that you have to use maildirquota, but I'd suggest making sure that maildirquota is a bit smaller than the real quota to account for non-mail related storage (even if they are just maildrop files and directory structures, and so on they DO take space).

Perhaps a script to automate your updates to maildirquotas based on your filesystem quotas to ensure they stay in sync?

Personally, I use filesystem quotas as a failsafe to keep a user from "accidentally" occupying the whole system, so mine are many times what a typical user quota is in email.

Is there any way to get maildrop to see file system quotas and send a warning message at x% or do I have to use maildirquota files ? This seems to be missing in maildirquota documentation.

thank you
