Yes, but you could do the whole thing without using "quota" at all. Just
use a "condition" option on a redirect router that defers delivery if
the quota is exceeded. It can have the quota screwed into the condition,
or looked up from somewhere, and the disk usage obtained as previously
discussed.
True, this won't be deferred with the "quota exceeded" error, so a
special retry won't be possible. But you could do your own "fail",
conditional upon the value of $message_age if you wanted.
