Hi Philip,

Was the below problem sorted out ? I have checked the ChangeLog file and
see the change made in 3.14 with regards to 'quota_size_regex', but we are
experiencing the same problem using maildir with Exim 3.16. When
sending a message more than half or larger than the quota then it rejects
the message. But sending small messages are still accepted.

Thanks,
Warren
