Will it cause the mail to be bounced or just deferred? Or just ignored
and the first/last/random multi-value used? (I would try this for
myself, but I have no test-VM right now to do so.)

Would be very nice.  I could do the following then:

user_attrs {
  home = %{homeDirectory}
  quota_rule = *:bytes=%{quotaBytes}:messages=%{quotaMessages}
  quota_rule2 = %{quotaRule2}
}

Without sounding to "pushy": Do you have a timeline for this?
