I don't have it set up yet (I have a ZFS server set up using Solaris
10 but not past some testing yet), but I think I am going to get
around this by using ZFS. Just have to make sure that hard errors
are handled ok. I can give each maildir its own "file system" with
ZFS with its own quota enforced at the file system level. I want to
give 5GB to my users once I get everything set up so I don't seem to
have anything to do with maildir quota
