good point, but it's a non-issue. the validrcptto.cdb functionality is not going to be bundled into vpopmaild, the two programs are not doing the same things.
and besides, if a user's mailbox is over quota, i would rather keep the message in my local queue where it will be delivered rather quickly when the user finally brings their mailbox back below their quota (and where i can send an ALRM signal to qmail-send to force- deliver the message when they call me about it, because they don't want to wait a few hours for qmail-send to decide to deliver it on its own.)
