LMTP proxy does not pass RCPT TO: ... 5xx response back
Hello,
I'm using dovecot 2.2.9 and a director/backend setup.
On the director I've the LMTP in proxy mode, mapping the users to one of
the backends.
The backends to quota check and return the OverQuota message already at
RCPT TO time.
Here is what I typed, connected to the director
Connection to director1 2525 port [tcp/*] succeeded!

It looks as if the backend tells the director/proxy about the full
mailbox (552 5.2.2 <heiko at hs-example.de> Quota exceeded (mailbox for
user is full)) already before the DATA phase starts, right as the
response to the RCPT TO.
But the proxy seems to ignore it?
Any suggestion?

RCPT TO in proxy answers immediately when it has verified that the user exists. It doesn't wait until it has connected to the backend and sent RCPT TO there. I'm also not entirely sure how good of an idea that is if it would, since at least without pipelining it would slow down all the LMTP operations when there are multiple recipients. But then again, if pipelining is used it wouldn't matter, at least in theory. It would require some more coding though. The way it's commonly done in larger environments is that the over-quota is already checked by the MTA and have it fail the RCPT TO. You can have Dovecot update the over-quota flags via quota-warning scripts (and quota_over_script) in whatever way and have the MTA look that up. Then in Dovecot LMTP you could simply disable quota checks.

Hi Timo, sorry for the delay, but many thanks for your answer (I was busy with the current Exim release). Timo Sirainen <tss at iki.fi> (So 21 Feb 2016 02:57:55 CET): ?> Right..

But getting as much as possible information about the deliverability of a message by standard means would be good. And using the RCPT TO response would not need any magic mechanisms on the MTA side. We could use recipient verification via callouts (as we do to check the existence of the recipient, w/o the need to do some LDAP lookups).

Then in Dovecot LMTP you could simply disable quota checks.The over-quota flag isn't supported on 2.2.9 (which is what Ubuntu 14.04 has). I tried the quota-status plugin. But it seems, this plugin tries to read the maildir directly. Doesn't help. Since I have a director/backend setup. Can't quota-status use the same interface doveadm quota uses? Unfortunenatly I didn't find further documentation, except the source itself.
