dovecot - Jun 2012 - Deliver quota-warning via director

Hi there,

I'm using NFS with Dovecot 2.0.20 and would like to deliver
a quota warning to the user using the LMTP director.
I have configured quota warnings according to
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration

But it seems that lda delivers the mail directly to
the local filesystem and is not using our lmtp director,
which prevents NFS mailboxes from getting corrupted.

Is there a way to tell lda to use LMTP or the director
and ignore the quota while delivering the notification?

Regards
Daniel

That's a bit tricky problem. Even if LDA used LMTP, it couldn't ignore
quota since LMTP server is the one enforcing it. Perhaps you need to create two
LMTP ports, one with a "quota ignored" configuration. Then you need to
somehow get the mail delivered there (maybe send it to your MTA and route it
from there). Or write a script that sends the mail directly to the LMTP port on
director.
