Sure, you can override the quota in also static userdb, as long as you
can figure out a way to do that with the possible %variables. For
example you could set quota=%p which would override the quota and set it
to same as the current process ID. Not very useful though ;)

Ah, since you're using passwd-file as the passdb, it should be possible
to do it this way. Just change quota to userdb_quota.
