Is this just for the web admin client  ? 

I use PERL to administrate my mailboxes.

I also need to impose quotas of various sizes.

I was going to write a tiny script that checks the LDAP quota and the
gets the LDAP homeDir and writes the .mailfilter file in the
/virtual_users_home/Maildir. Will  this work ?

Sam said> What you need to do is create a temporary .mailfilter file with your quota,
Sam said> deliver a single message, remove that message, remove the .mailfilter file,
Sam said> log into sqwebmail, go to the filter screen, and save an empty filter.

Sam said> You'll wind up with a stub .mailfilter file.  Install the stub .mailfilter
Sam said> file into /etc/skel.
