First of all, I would like to say thanks to everyone for making Vexim such a
well thought out and truly useful bit of software!
For the deletion of users, I have a Python script that just runs nightly to
tar gzip up the deleted user and put them in another directory (in case the
user changes his / her mind later). I suppose the same could be done in PHP
with a cron job.
I have another script that just deletes the tgz mailbox file after 30 days to
reclaim space (although I have not used that one as much).
Not sure on the rate limiting, but that would be nice.

Friends don't let friends do Yahoo (or aol) ha.
