I could not determine if when using filesystem quotas (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/FS) Dovecot will use the reported quota and limits without the need of configuring them via "quota_rules". Is this possible somehow? Such a feature would determine the quota limits automatically from the filesystem quotas thereby allowing to make use of them in quota warnings. Dovecot already knows the quota settings and limits. Here is evidence from the logs

With fs quota Dovecot itself doesn't enforce any limits, and the limits are read from the filesystem. So quota_rules are ignored.
