The problem I am having, however, is that deliver will still put mail in
their mailbox well after going over their "hard" quota. I believe this is
because it is running as root (although it really should assume the id of
the user just before attempting to deliver the mail).
Perhaps to overcome the problem with the quota notification, the quota
warnings should be delivered by root, using an alternate MDA (such as
deliver) - which means the user will recieve the mail regardless of their
quota?
