Hi, i have a problem with dovecot and quotas, when a user has over-quota he
can't access the mail account to download mails and solve the quota problem.
I'm using debian sarge (stable) and quota v1 (vfsold), i have installed dovecot
in debian way
apt-get install dovecot dovecot-common dovecot-pop3d
users only can access via pop3 to their mails.

This is the error i get when i try to access with an over-quota user

pop3-login: Nov 18 12:35:05 Info: Login: prueba [164.73.128.2]
pop3(prueba): Nov 18 12:35:05 Error: file_set_size() failed with mbox file
/var/mail/prueba: Disk quota exceeded
pop3(prueba): Nov 18 12:35:05 Error: mbox file /var/mail/prueba was modified
while we had it read-locked, make sure all your software accessing mboxes uses
the same locking methods (fcntl, flock, dotlock)
pop3(prueba): Nov 18 12:35:05 Error: file_set_size() failed with mbox file
/var/mail/prueba: Disk quota exceeded
pop3(prueba): Nov 18 12:35:05 Error: Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error
occured. Refer to server log for more information. [2005-11-18 12:35:05]

it looks like dovecot wants to write my mbox file and then gets the error with
the quota, this is what i think could be helpfull from my config file

protocols = pop3 pop3s
mail_extra_groups = mail
default_mail_env =
mbox:%h/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=/var/dovecotindex/%u:CONTROL=/var/dovecotindex/control/%u
mail_full_filesystem_access = yes
mail_save_crlf = yes
mbox_locks = dotlock

thanks a lot

claper
