dovecot - Aug 2004 - Dovecot stop accepting command When reading disk quota (soft)

Hello all,

I've face some problem here and I think it should be the way.

1) I'm running Dovecot version 0.99.10.4 (fc1 release) on RH9
2) One of the users have reach the soft disk quota limits
3) Dovecot stop the users from deleting email.

What I think was, dovecot should let the user continue to use the
services until it reach the hard limits, but pop up message each and
every time ;).

Anyone have that problem before?

Thank You
Chan Min Wai

Dovecot doesn't know about disk quotas. It complains about disk space 
when it can't write to disk. So looks like the user did hit hard 
limits.

Sending warnings after hitting soft quota would be possible I guess, 
but it's very operating system specific feature so it should rather be 
done with a plugin. And someone else can implement that :)

I thought -ENOQUOTA was pretty common.
