dovecot - Nov 2006 - quota question

.. maybe a silly one, but how does the user get notified when he is over 
quota? Did not find anything in the docs. Is there a general IMAP way to 
do this or what else ?

Dovecot doesn't provide any way to do this currently. You'll have to
figure out something by yourself.

I guess either some cronjob, or you could write a Dovecot plugin. In
both cases you could send a normal out-of-quota mail to the user
(bypassing quota checks).

I run a cron job (as root) that creates
<<MailDir>>/.INBOX/new/over_quota
and chown's the file to the user. Of course, all 
*/<<MailDir>>/.INBOX/new/over_quota* files are deleted prior the
check.

People with active forwards also get notified via their forwards.
