a somewhat late response now:

line from the pipe router:

command = /usr/local/bin/deliverquota -c "${lookup mysql{select homedir from user where mail='${quote_mysql:$local_part@$domain}'}{$value}fail}/Maildir" "${lookup mysql{select quota from user where mail='${quote_mysql:$local_part@$domain}'}{$value}{}}"

is that one too long?
