I went looking into this thinking chkuser would be a perfect place for the
basic quota check.
Of course that would be sort of vpopmail specific, but lo and behold, it's
already in there.
'chkuser.c' v.2.0.8
if (vmaildir_readquota(tmp_path.s,format_maildirquota \
(user_passwd->pw_shell)) \
>= maxmbxquota_limit) {
retstat = CHKUSER_ERR_MBXFULL;
}
It's not as encompassing as Tom was envisioning, but it does do what the parent
is looking for..
