We've got new servers we're moving to that are based on Postfix/Dovecot, but we're trying to 'gently encourage' users to reduce their disk usage beforehand. The trouble is the quota reporting is telling them they are not over quota at all.

Try deleting the maildirsize file in a user's Maildir/ to force vpopmail 
to regenerate it.  If it works, you could put that in a cron.  I've been 
doing that for a while myself.

I've made the move to postfix/postfixadmin/mysql/dovecot on a number of 
systems and am quite happy.  Dovecot can even report quota usage 
directly to Thunderbird, which is neat.  And there are server side 
filters using sieve that don't require ftp or shell access.  It's all 
very nice and up to date.
