I did not implement this feature; I just installed the patch after some
minimal testing. What does the specification of maildir_size_file say? I
assumed that there was a specification for this. I also assume that
having the quota in the file is a "feature" that allows for different
quotas for different users - the value in the transport is just the
default. So the behaviour doesn't seem unreasonable - but then I don't
use any of this stuff. Anybody have views on this?
