Nguyen,

Cyrus IMAP questions should go to info-cyrus at lists.andrew.cmu.edu.

This is a typo for lmtp_over_quota_perm_failure (which defaults to 0 anyway).

A cyrus imap quota will only affect incoming email. Outgoing email will be
restricted, or not, by your smtp server.

Depending on your smtp server config, incoming emails for a mailbox that is
over quota may be queued and eventually delivered, if the mailbox
eventually gets cleaned up.

What is the cyradm output of 'lq user.<user>' for the mailbox in question?
What syslog output do you see during delivery to that mailbox?

Assuming that the quota database for the mailbox is corrupted, you can run
quota/cyrquota to recalculate quota usage.
