Yes, I did see your post on the hack. This seems like a good solution, I think
it should be put in the tree.It seems kind of dumb that mail.local would not
pay attention to quota's. 

I will try Procmail I think so that I won't have to maintain the hack accross
versions but if I can't get that to work easily then I will take a crack at the
hack.

Thanks for the suggestion,
