Ok, I did have this disabled in the courierd configuration.  I had
forgotten about that.

I'm still not sure why this affects quota checking.  The description
of the ESMTP_BLOCKBACKSCATTER setting only mentions dropping DSNs.  It
says nothing about accepting or rejecting other messages.

I changed that setting back to default and did a "courier restart".
I was still able to drop three more messages into the queue for my
user (via non-auth smtp).  What am I missing?
