    As I said in my reply to Matthias Andree, all the users are virtual, so 
they would have no direct access to the system, so there's no threat of them 
changing the quotas.

    To return to my original question, would it work to implement quotas now 
with Maildrop, even though Dovecot doesn't support it, or should I just wait 
until version 1.0 (or whenever quotas are supported) is released? My thinking 
is that even if Dovecot doesn't support quotas, I can at least control what 
amount of mail arrives for the user, and I believe I saw something that said 
that Maildrop will recalculate the percentage of the quota filled on a 
regular basis if there is something (like Dovecot) fiddling with the mail but 
not changing the percentage. But if I'm wrong, and this is just going to 
hopelessly mess things up, I'd like to know.
