Multiple maillog error messages - postfix

MislavO

Regular Pleskian
Plesk 12 is used, latest #MU on CentOS 6.5 final.

Maillog is full of messages like:

Mar 31 14:56:52 hosting plesk sendmail[1177]: Error during 'check-quota' handler

I've tried quite few things suggested in threads like:

http://talk.plesk.com/threads/pppm-2612-outgoing-mail-limits-not-limiting-mail.332066/
http://talk.plesk.com/threads/ppp-1...l-you-are-not-allowed-to-use-sendmail.332016/
http://talk.plesk.com/threads/pppm-2612-outgoing-mail-control-on-domains-simply-doesnt-work.332436/

including non_smptd_milter commenting in postfix main.cf and turning of completely outgoing message limit in plesk, however this continues and keeps spamming maillog (about 80% of log is only this).

Any suggestions what to do?
 
New errors today after enabling yesterday DomainKeys signatures and enabling it on few domains (note that verify incoming email is disabled and key strength of keys is 1024):
