Thanks for the link.

So I need a Perl script that runs permanently in the background and
opens a network socket that any local user can query to get information
about mail quotas?

I'm wondering why I need to do such strange things when Exim already has
the capability to compute quotas on its own. It's already used to send
the user a message when 80% quota is exceeded, see my provided config
file. So why an external thing for an already built-in function?

I just need that calculation to run in a way that it's available at RCPT
ACL time. I was hoping that the verify=recipient directive had some
option for that, or so.

Yves
