[Dovecot] Warning recipient when message delivery fails due to over-quota
I'm working to configure automated quota notifications in Dovecot and am wondering if it is possible to send a warning message to a user when message delivery fails because the user is over-quota. I already have the following directives configured: quota_warning = storage=95%% quota-warning 95 %u %d quota_warning2 = storage=80%% quota-warning 80 %u %d quota_warning3 = -storage=100%% quota-below below %u %d These seem to function as expected, but the problem I'm facing is that when a message is large enough to take the user's quota from, say, 84% to over 100%, the message is rejected (as expected), but the user is never warned that a message failed to be delivered because it would have put him over 100% usage. I suppose that I'm looking for a trigger that is tripped when delivering the message *would* put the user over-quota (as opposed to *does in fact* put the user over). The sender receives an automated rejection message already. I'm wondering if the recipient can be warned at the same time. (I'm not concerned about further increasing the user's quota consumption with the warning message; I would set noenforcing to 1.) Is this possible? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Ben

Then the message would be accepted, and the user would get the normal 100% notice. Ken -- Ken Anderson Pacific Internet - http://www.pacific.net

Thank you for the quick reply, Ken.
What you describe sounds like it would work for my purposes. (Although,
it would be nice to see quota warnings for would [instead of did]
scenarios implemented.)
I added quota_rule4 to my plugin {} stanza:
plugin {
quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+100M
quota_rule3 = Junk:ignore
quota_rule4 = Inbox:storage=+100M
}
I then restarted Dovecot.
My test user's quota is at 94% of 3MB before I attempt to send a message
with a 206KB attachment.
When I send the test message that should, in theory, put my test user
over-quota, but well within the additional 100M that quota_rule4 grants,
the message is still rejected outright. Here is the debug output that I
captured:
http://pastebin.com/75byrwC7
In particular, the following line seems to imply that this rule should
be effective:
dovecot: lda(u...@example.com): Debug: Quota rule: root=user
mailbox=Inbox bytes=+104857600 messages=0
Any thoughts as to why this might be happening?
My doveconf -n output:

Thanks again for your help,

Try if uppercased INBOX works. Also this can better be done with the
quota_grace feature in v2.2.

That was it! Thank you, Timo!
I will look into the quota_grace feature in 2.2; that sounds like
exactly what I want.
Your time and generosity are deeply appreciated.
