- I do *not* want to count these files. (or at least I'd like to have
a runtime option to skip these files)

- Using du(1) isn't an option.
    - because exim does the recalculation on its own when the magical
      5120 bytes size limit of maildirsize is reached
    - because we're talking about 120k mailboxes on some NFS share
      (netapp)


- Using du(1) is not necessary at all, because the files already
have their size coded in the S=… tag of the file name.
