- 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.
