With all due respect, I did some of my own testing of vpopmail last year
and found that then, the quota mechanism didn't work (I was able to send
more than the quota's worth of messages using small messages (and a perl
script to send it rapidly). I chose instead to use system quotas and
multiple UID's (one per domain) which is a VERY effective limiter but it has
made a couple new bugs appear.
For example, when the system quota is reached and an admin attempts to add
users to the system, it can nuke the vpasswd.cdb file due to the write
error. :-( I haven't worked around that one yet...
