there's an ipurge processs running at the same time that cleans out automatic generated emails from the "mon" watchdog: We send an email to the "cyrus" user every few minutes and then check if the message arrives in the mailbox. Those messages get cleared every 15 minutes or so. So at 01:30, quota and ipurge seem to be running at the same time and produce the above error message. Wild guess: There must be a small race window here where the mailbox quota of the user/cyrus mailbox is not available or some kind of temporary object is visible. Too bad the error message 'failed building quota list for' is used at two places in the code. I'll change those two to something unique. Thomas
