You should drop the `-q' if you want quotas enforced.

That's because deliver is not having to parse out the +detail;
Postfix is doing that for it.

Yes, if you want to funnel mail directly into a non-user folder
that's in a hierarchy of it's own, in LMTP mode you need to do
something like this:

  +bb.testfolder

That will work. It's the separating the user from the +detail that
I don't think deliver is currently doing.

I know I must have read something about this at some point. I
remember thinking at the time it was unfortunate, but at least I
could use sieve to do the filtering for me until deliver does it
automatically. For me, LMTP is to much of a win to let this get in
the way.

Probably would be worth raising this on info-cyrus to make sure I'm
not hallucinating.
