[vexim] Vexim 2.2.1 quota support

[Gordon Dickens]

Hi Adam,

Please be aware that exim's quota threshold warning notification will 
only be generated once.  That is, it is only generated upon receipt of 
the exact email which forces the maildir size over the quota limit.  So, 
if you are testing simply by setting the quota threshold limit to a 
value smaller than the maildir size then the warning message will not be 
generated unless that exact test email causes the maildir size to go 
over the quota limit.  The following is extracted from "The Exim SMTP 
mail server" book by Philip Hazel (page 195):

"The append file transport can be configured to send a warning message 
when the size of a mailbox crosses a given threshold.  It does this only 
once, because repeating such a warning for mailboxes that are above the 
threshold would only exacerbate the problem."

FYI,

Gordon Dickens
