Only problem with this setup is that it would break Quotas. My mail table
has a NUMERIC column for Quotas, not Character. That is why the M was
outside the entire expression. The table contains the number of megabytes
allowed in the quota. If you can figure out a way to convert it using the
numeric value that would be much appreciated! Otherwise, when it selects the
quota, it will get values like Quota = 25 instead of Quota = 25M. I'm not so
sure Exim would like that.
