I'm�sure you are all tired of hearing about quotas and how they won't decrease once file has been deleted.There is no patch called "maildir-quota.patch" that is supported by vpopmail. I don't think you have it patched correctly.

I understand�there are some issues with quota support in qmail+vpopmail.� I just joined this mailing list, so if this was answered recently, I apologize.� I think I am a little confused because vpopmail claims to support maildir quotas for qmail-pop3d, however there seem to be issues with it.

The Problem:

The problem seems well documented, the solution however doesn't.�

Email is sent, the maildirsize file grows, it approaches the quota size (90%) and emails the quotawarn.msg.� However when the emails are removed, the maildirsize file is the same.

The Patch:

The only included in the stable release is qmail-pop3d-maildirquota.patch.gz, and is located in the contrib directory. There is a newer version, that is available with the development versions of vpopmail, and it's filename is qmail-maildir++.patch. I recommend this one. Both are available on my site, www.shupp.org. Re-patch qmail with one of these, and that should solve your problems. i.e.:
cd qmail-1.03
lynx --source http://www.shupp.org/patches/qmail-maildir++.patch | patch -p0
make
qmailctl stop
make setup check
qmailctl start
