Hello, First of all, postfix doesn't support quota's by default. There is the quota patch of course. But there is a reason that it isn't included by default. (but I'm not sure what the exact reason is, if it's not the one below).
Secondly, how do you define the quota of a mailbox? There are many ways to do that. (Filesystem quota's, Maildir++ quota, and probably other ways). Do you think it's the mail 'routing' system's job to know all these different implementations? Instead I think it's a cleaner (and more logical) way to let the mail delivery agent take care of this, hence by deliver from dovecot.
