Re: [maildropl] Maildirsize and virtual accounts

[Diego A. P. F. <dpu...@uc...>]

The solution was simple, maildrop wasn't being called. Postfix 
"virtual" delivery method doesn't call an externall MDA as the 
"local" method does. Delivering mail to virtual accounts with 
maildirquota support remains as a problem unsolved to me, but at 
least now I know it isn't maildrop's fault.
