I feel it could be solved only patching pop3d demon, letting him generate a
first fake messages when user mailbox has exceeded (or it's going to do)
its quota. So it doesn't waste space, it's always delivered, etc.
But, before this patch, I would like to find an unique centralized way to
store informations on user's used quota (I think if we don't solve this
point we'll only have dozens of patch for vpopmail, sqwebmail, etc.). Why
not to use sqwebmail method in an extended way? Or add another field to
passwd, with real usage stored in it?
