1. how do I keep mails from being rejected and kept in the local mailqueue instead? (which is the old system's behavior)?
* You can set a quota grace to basically have a soft-limit - allowing the user to go slightly above their allocated quota. 2. what's the best (or simplest or recommended) way of setting up per-user-quotas in this setup? * I'm not sure if this is considered the "simplest", but like you I am also using LDAP auth. With this setup, I have LDAP manage per-user quotas. The primary mail schema I use is equipped with a mailQuota attribute. I have this quota attribute set as part of user_attrs in dovecot-ldap.conf.ext. For example, per user quotas in LDAP: user_attrs = ....,mailQuota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ 3. how can I get an overview/list of all users and their quota usage? (I guess I just solved that - "doveadm quota get -A" seems to work) * It helps to set up aliases unless you don't mind typing a lot. To get an overview/list of all users and their quota usage I have a couple quota aliases defined: alias quotaa='doveadm quota get -A | sort -h ' $ quotaa alias quota='doveadm quota get -u $1 ' $ quota <username> IMHO the official Dovecot docs are great, but I also battled with quotas for a short duration, so hopefully this will help a bit more.
