I guess being liberal bit me too often afterwards. ;-) I am just afraid that a maildirfolder file might get created where it should not. As a result, Exim would not calculate the quota of a mailbox, but the quota of all mailboxes. After consuming considerable resources, the mail would most likely bounce. That's why I prefer to require the directories and freeze the mail if they are missing.
