there are several excellent reasons to "complicate" things. one is that
when mail is delivered to a maildir, quotas can be applied to that
directory (this is one of the main reasons to implement serialmail-based
solutions. we're currently finishing up a turnmail-style script package
that tails a radius accounting file and sends mail to the ip address from
a user that just connected--saves a static ip, gets rid of the trouble
with etrn (most customers of ours have trouble setting them up) and gets
us quotas on total mail in the 'queue' since it's delivered to a maildir).
