rsync makes exact copies of filesystems. It's a mirroring tool, not a
backup tool. It stores the information as a filesystem, and if it's not
allowed to save group and user id on the filesystem, it doesn't. Perhaps
you need an archiving system? maybe doing incremental backups?
That said,
#!/bin/sh
for file in `rsh remote 'cd ~/Maildir;find . -type f -print'`
do
[ -f ~/Maildir/$file ] rm ~/Maildir/$file
done

How secure is hosts allow?
It's not.
I have hosts allow = bkup in my rsyncd.conf. Then in /etc/hosts I have:
64.29.16.235 bkup
This makes only 64.29.16.235 able to connect to rsync.
Could someone spoof their hostname

It would be helpful for it to be:

This is a simple question. How much file system
overhead is there with this system? Is it only as large as the largest file
transfered or could you potentially (even if configured correctly) end up with
double what you started out with on the sending or receiving end?
