We use a setuid copy of /usr/bin/quota to do quota checking on our Red
Hat server. (We use a copy rather than making /usr/bin/quota setuid
since any updates to the quota package would reset the setuid bit.)
It's probably not the most efficient setup, but I thought that it would
be simpler than a quota daemon.
I can post my code if anyone's interested, although it's not as fancy as
Jan's. For example, we don't do any checking on ESMTP SIZE=, we just
bounce for people who have exceeded their quota and exceeded their grace
period.
