How about a separate TCP lookup for quota status? This would be really useful for sites that don't have that information in a shared sql table (or no SQL in postfix), and get rid of kludgy policy services used to check quota status. This would be used with a check_recipient_access table, response would be something like: 200 DUNNO quota OK 200 REJECT user over quota 500 user not found -- Noel Jones
