You could keep a redirect database, analogous to the deliver database so
that each redirection results in a single message. I don't think that the
problem is difficult, the question as I see it is whether or not it is
worth the effort for sieves designers to fix what should be a seldom
encountered problem. One could take on the BOFH's mantle and maintain that
annoying other users is a good way to ensure that your users don't go over
quota.
