Hmmm. In this case, the 10MB quota really isn't a quota at all then.
Using the same logic, a person with a 10MB quota with an empty mailbox
could receive a 10,000MB message (given available disk space and the
lack of an max-message-size limits). Not really a quota limit, is it?
Adding an option to permit Exim to use this behavior seems a bit esoteric,
if not altogether unreasonable.
Wouldn't it be easier to just hack the source code in appendfile.c (or
whevered) yourself?
