That actually sounds like it may work. Another solution may be this: Since qmailadmin now allows postmaster to allocate quota per user, what if we introduce a limit that restricts how much quota the postmaster has to distribute.
This would give us the flexibility to allocate quota per domain and the postmaster for that domain can re-allocate to the user. So we can still see how much each user is using whereas your solution will not. What do you say Ken/Bill ?
