In my opinion it is better if it does more than just the mbox verification. I'd like to see the quota check as well. I am not sure if the "map protocol" allows for multiple return codes rather than just yes/no type answer. Then there is the performance consideration, I would hope that the "map protocol" allows for a "persistent" tcp connection. -- Igor
