On what system do you have this implemented? (linux? kernel?)

I'm playing around with an implementation on RedHat ES 3.0 and the 
problem I'm running into is that MIMEDefang runs as the defang user, 
Quota::query is only allowed to get quota information for other users if 
run as the superuser.

did you run into these kind of issues? do you have a work around?

Thanks for sharing your code/logic and any assistance.
