Dovecot v2.0 makes this much easier, since it can be extended with any
kind of external services without recompiling anything. Also v2.0 tries
to be somewhat compatible with Postfix master. I've had in mind that
perhaps Dovecot services could run also under Postfix master. So a quota
service that could run either under Dovecot or Postfix could be useful.

I don't really have time to implement it though. You could take a look
at how LMTP server is implemented and just copy&paste its important
parts and make it report quota instead of doing the LMTP stuff.

What does Postfix's policy protocol look like anyway?
