The patch will prevent the quota files from going out of whack any further

The quota files are not re-calc'ed every time a message is delivered.
Instead, the size of the incoming message is added to the quota count. Same
for when a message is deleted via POP3... only the size of the message is
subtracted from the quota count. This prevents cpu and disk utility wastage.

Periodically the entire quota count will be re-calced. So if you leave it
long enough the quota files will automatically contain the correct usage
totals.

If you need to fix the quota totals urgently, then the best bet is to go and
delete the all the quota files, and then next time a message is delivered to
each user, their quota file will be re-calc'ed from scratch and could
contain the correct value.

Hope that helps.

Michael.
