How are you checking quota? Sounds interesting.
Using the perl interface to quotactl, the Quota module. The big advantage of this is that we are able to reject at the SMTP level, based on quota, instead of having mail.local detect the out of quota condition, and then bounce it. This saves us on average about 4 or 5 bounces per second (with peaks to more than 10/sec during some spam runs).

On what system do you have this implemented? (linux? kernel?)
I'm playing around with an implementation on RedHat ES 3.0 and the problem I'm running into is that MIMEDefang runs as the defang user, Quota::query is only allowed to get quota information for other users if run as the superuser.
did you run into these kind of issues? do you have a work around?
Thanks for sharing your code/logic and any assistance.
