mail.local uses root privileges, so quotas don't help.  I once hacked
mail.local to use user privileges when opening the mailbox - this prevents
appending new messages to mailbox when users run out of quota.  I was hoping
that the change (or a similar one) would be applied to the source tree, but
it hasn't..  (I used an option to mail.local to enable the new behaviour,
so by default everything worked just like before.)
