I was looking into this on my server.  My config has the 100MB value, 
which came from dovecot defaults as I did not set it. Looks like none of 
the messages in my install is that big ... "find /var/vmail -size +99M" 
returns nothing.  I have a configured limit in postfix of 50MB, so I am 
probably never going to exceed the dovecot limit.

Looking over that link, I see the "quota_vsizes" option.  I was unable 
to find anything about this other than "Indicates that the quota plugin 
should use virtual sizes rather than physical sizes when calculating 
message sizes."  Can anyone tell me what that actually means in simple 
terms?  There is no info that I could find about how it actually 
calculates the virtual size.

Thanks,
Shawn
