Hi Juan,

The first thing to do would be to get dovecot upgraded to 1.0.1, but, 
something you should be aware of - the VDA patch is considered 'not 
good' by the postfix developers. From one of the threads on the postfix 
users list back in February:

excerpt from:
http://www.howtoforge.org/virtual_users_postfix_courier_mailscanner_clamav_centos_p4

"The doco etc for the [VDA] patch makes it sounds like it does 
everything you need. However when you actually inspect the code it is a 
total debacle zone. There are numerous logic errors - the patch fails to 
follow the Maildir++ specs, and will cause a ridiculous amount of 
needless load on your server. Maildrop does everything correctly, 
doesn't require the Postfix source code to be patched (which is good for 
Postfix's security/reliability), and gives additional features like 
quota warnings."

This was in response to the following question:
> I have applied the pacth VDA and didn't work, if a I sent a mail to 
> another user which exceeds his quota this user can receive the mail
> without problem, this said to me that the quota doesn't work. I use
> maildir in mi configuration.
> 
> Please help me with this problem.
