Following up on my own message it appears that 2 files are created with this command.

More specifcally, I get these 2 messages in my new folder.

The first one is a warning file the second one is an empty file. Is this a bug or
is this the way qouta warning are generated ?

Neither.

For the Postfix MTA with the localmailer the following line works:

mailbox_command = /usr/bin/maildrop | /usr/sbin/deliveryquota -w 90
$HOME/Maildir

Whatever you're trying to do, this is not going to work. maildrop does not generate anything on standard input, so piping its output to deliverquota will always result in deliverquota receiving a blank message on standard input.

That's how you ended up with the warning message, and then a blank file, which was delivered by deliverquota in addition to the warning message.
