I finished my quota configuration and now I am wondering how to do maildrop send a warning message to the sender, about the temporarily problem, and to the maildir owner, about the overquota.

Another doubt is when the Maildir reachs its limit there is a way of this message, that cause overquota bounce, to be send back to the sender? These bounced messages are remaining in Postfix queue and I want It, if possible, happen.

maildrop has a -w parameter. Calling "maildrop -w 90" instead of just maildrop will send the user a warning each time a message is delivered and the quota is between 90 and 100 percent. It *will not* send a warning once the quota is exceeded, nor will a warning be sent if the message exceeds quota. So you should set the warning percentage to start warning users once they are within a few megabytes their quota + max message delivery size.

There is no function to notify admins, however accomplishing something like this with shell scripts is not difficult.
