I have a small Squirrelmail server, using Postfix & Dovecot. I am trying to limit the amount of mail a user can get. The "mailbox_size_limit" value does not seem to be being honored. I am using the Maildir directory format.
That's right. mailbox_size_limit only works with "mailbox" single file delivery.

From googling, it appears that "mailbox_size_limit" applies to a single file (mbox format?), and that it does not work with Maildirs. Is this correct?
With maildir, the setting applies to an individual message. http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#mailbox_size_limit
How should I limit the Mailbox size of the users? I'm not very familiar with Linux "quotas", but I think that is my only other choice.
Either use filesystem quotas, or use a delivery agent (ie. maildrop, dovecot/deliver, etc.) that supports user quotas.
